Anirudh Rayabharam (Microsoft) b9af641827 x86/hyperv: fix kexec crash due to VP assist page corruption
commit 9636be85cc ("x86/hyperv: Fix hyperv_pcpu_input_arg handling when
CPUs go online/offline") introduces a new cpuhp state for hyperv
initialization.

cpuhp_setup_state() returns the state number if state is
CPUHP_AP_ONLINE_DYN or CPUHP_BP_PREPARE_DYN and 0 for all other states.
For the hyperv case, since a new cpuhp state was introduced it would
return 0. However, in hv_machine_shutdown(), the cpuhp_remove_state() call
is conditioned upon "hyperv_init_cpuhp > 0". This will never be true and
so hv_cpu_die() won't be called on all CPUs. This means the VP assist page
won't be reset. When the kexec kernel tries to setup the VP assist page
again, the hypervisor corrupts the memory region of the old VP assist page
causing a panic in case the kexec kernel is using that memory elsewhere.
This was originally fixed in commit dfe94d4086 ("x86/hyperv: Fix kexec
panic/hang issues").

Get rid of hyperv_init_cpuhp entirely since we are no longer using a
dynamic cpuhp state and use CPUHP_AP_HYPERV_ONLINE directly with
cpuhp_remove_state().

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
