In a HVM guest the kernel allocates the page for mapping the shared
info structure via extend_brk() today. This will lead to a drop of
performance as the underlying EPT entry will have to be split up into
4kB entries as the single shared info page is located in hypervisor
memory.
The issue has been detected by using the libmicro munmap test:
unmapping 8kB of memory was faster by nearly a factor of two when no
pv interfaces were active in the HVM guest.
So instead of taking a page from memory which might be mapped via
large EPT entries use a page which is already mapped via a 4kB EPT
entry: we can take a page from the first 1MB of memory as the video
memory at 640kB disallows using larger EPT entries.

The hypercall VCPUOP_register_vcpu_info can fail. This failure is
handled by making per_cpu(xen_vcpu, cpu) point to its shared_info
slot and those without one (cpu >= MAX_VIRT_CPUS) be NULL.
For PVH/PVHVM, this is not enough, because we also need to pull
these VCPUs out of circulation.
Fix for PVH/PVHVM: on registration failure in the cpuhp prepare
callback (xen_cpu_up_prepare_hvm()), return an error to the cpuhp
state-machine so it can fail the CPU init.
Fix for PV: the registration happens before smp_init(), so, in the
failure case we clamp setup_max_cpus and limit the number of VCPUs
that smp_init() will bring-up to MAX_VIRT_CPUS.
This is functionally correct but it makes the code a bit simpler
if we get rid of this explicit clamping: for VCPUs that don't have
valid xen_vcpu, fail the CPU init in the cpuhp prepare callback
(xen_cpu_up_prepare_pv()).

If CONFIG_SMP is disabled, xen_setup_vcpu_info_placement() is called from
xen_setup_shared_info(). This is fine as far as boot goes, but it means
that we also call it in the restore path. This results in an OOPS
because we assign to pv_mmu_ops.read_cr2 which is __ro_after_init.
Also, though less problematically, this means we call xen_vcpu_setup()
twice at restore -- once from the vcpu info placement call and the
second time from xen_vcpu_restore().
Fix by calling xen_setup_vcpu_info_placement() at boot only.

Largely mechanical changes to aid unification of xen_vcpu_restore()
logic for PV, PVH and PVHVM.
xen_vcpu_setup(): the only change in logic is that clamp_max_cpus()
is now handled inside the "if (!xen_have_vcpu_info_placement)" block.
xen_vcpu_restore(): code movement from enlighten_pv.c to enlighten.c.
xen_vcpu_info_reset(): pulls together all the code where xen_vcpu
is set to default.

When running as Xen pv guest X86_BUG_SYSRET_SS_ATTRS must not be set
on AMD cpus.
This bug/feature bit is kind of special as it will be used very early
when switching threads. Setting the bit and clearing it a little bit
later leaves a critical window where things can go wrong. This time
window has enlarged a little bit by using setup_clear_cpu_cap() instead
of the hypervisor's set_cpu_features callback. It seems this larger
window now makes it rather easy to hit the problem.
The proper solution is to never set the bit in case of Xen.

Routines that are set by xen_init_time_ops() use shared_info's
pvclock_vcpu_time_info area. This area is not properly available until
shared_info is mapped in xen_setup_shared_info().
This became especially problematic due to commit dd759d93f4 ("x86/timers:
Add simple udelay calibration") where we end up reading tsc_to_system_mul
from xen_dummy_shared_info (i.e. getting zero value) and then trying
to divide by it in pvclock_tsc_khz().
