[PATCH v1 13/13] mshv: set up own SynIC registers on a nested root partition

[Wei Hu <weh@linux.microsoft.com>]

From: Wei Hu <weh@microsoft.com>

Upstream mshv_synic_cpu_init()/_exit() skip programming the SynIC
SIMP/SIEFP/SCONTROL registers when VMBus is active (hv_vmbus_exists()),
assuming VMBus's hv_hyp_synic_enable_regs() already provisioned them.

That assumption is wrong for a *nested* root partition. There, VMBus
programs the *nested* SynIC MSRs (HV_X64_MSR_NESTED_SIMP, ...) via
hv_set_msr()'s nested remap, while mshv_synic reads/writes the
*non-nested* SynIC MSRs (hv_get/set_non_nested_msr). As a result mshv
maps the wrong message page, never receives the SYNIC intercept message
that carries the async hypercall completion, and mshv_async_hvcall_handler
blocks forever -- hanging SEV-SNP guest creation from user space.

Gate the "VMBus owns the SynIC registers" optimization on !hv_nested so
that a nested root partition programs its own non-nested SynIC registers,
restoring correct intercept/async-hypercall delivery. No change for a
non-nested (bare-metal) root.
