54965d92a4 powerpc: Fix is_kvm_guest() / kvm_para_available()
[ Upstream commit 95839225639ba7c3d8d7231b542728dcf222bf2d ]

Commit a21d1becaa3f ("powerpc: Reintroduce is_kvm_guest() as a fast-path
check") added is_kvm_guest() and changed kvm_para_available() to use it.

is_kvm_guest() checks a static key, kvm_guest, and that static key is
set in check_kvm_guest().

The problem is check_kvm_guest() is only called on pseries, and even
then only in some configurations. That means is_kvm_guest() always
returns false on all non-pseries and some pseries depending on
configuration. That's a bug.

For PR KVM guests this is noticable because they no longer do live
patching of themselves, which can be detected by the omission of a
message in dmesg such as:

  KVM: Live patching for a fast VM worked

To fix it make check_kvm_guest() an initcall, to ensure it's always
called at boot. It needs to be core so that it runs before
kvm_guest_init() which is postcore. To be an initcall it needs to return
int, where 0 means success, so update that.

We still call it manually in pSeries_smp_probe(), because that runs
before init calls are run.

e01a4d7560 powerpc: Reintroduce is_kvm_guest() as a fast-path check
[ Upstream commit a21d1becaa3f17a97b933ffa677b526afc514ec5 ]

Introduce a static branch that would be set during boot if the OS
happens to be a KVM guest. Subsequent checks to see if we are on KVM
will rely on this static branch. This static branch would be used in
vcpu_is_preempted() in a subsequent patch.

113207234a powerpc: Rename is_kvm_guest() to check_kvm_guest()
[ Upstream commit 16520a858a995742c2d2248e86a6026bd0316562 ]

We want to reuse the is_kvm_guest() name in a subsequent patch but
with a new body. Hence rename is_kvm_guest() to check_kvm_guest(). No
additional changes.

61c5d9fa56 powerpc: Refactor is_kvm_guest() declaration to new header
[ Upstream commit 92cc6bf01c7f4c5cfefd1963985c0064687ebeda ]

Only code/declaration movement, in anticipation of doing a KVM-aware
vcpu_is_preempted(). No additional changes.
