x86/paravirt: Fix incorrect virt spinlock setting on bare metal

x86/paravirt: Fix incorrect virt spinlock setting on bare metal

commit e639222a51196c69c70b49b67098ce2f9919ed08 upstream.

The kernel can change spinlock behavior when running as a guest. But this
guest-friendly behavior causes performance problems on bare metal.

The kernel uses a static key to switch between the two modes.

In theory, the static key is enabled by default (run in guest mode) and
should be disabled for bare metal (and in some guests that want native
behavior or paravirt spinlock).

A performance drop is reported when running encode/decode workload and
BenchSEE cache sub-workload.

Bisect points to commit ce0a1b608bfc ("x86/paravirt: Silence unused
native_pv_lock_init() function warning"). When CONFIG_PARAVIRT_SPINLOCKS is
disabled the virt_spin_lock_key is incorrectly set to true on bare
metal. The qspinlock degenerates to test-and-set spinlock, which decreases
the performance on bare metal.

Set the default value of virt_spin_lock_key to false. If booting in a VM,
enable this key. Later during the VM initialization, if other
high-efficient spinlock is preferred (e.g. paravirt-spinlock), or the user
wants the native qspinlock (via nopvspin boot commandline), the
virt_spin_lock_key is disabled accordingly.

This results in the following decision matrix:

X86_FEATURE_HYPERVISOR Y Y Y N
CONFIG_PARAVIRT_SPINLOCKS Y Y N Y/N
PV spinlock Y N N Y/N

virt_spin_lock_key N Y/N Y N

x86/paravirt: Convert simple paravirt functions to asm

All functions referenced via __PV_IS_CALLEE_SAVE() need to be assembler
functions, as those functions calls are hidden from the compiler.

In case the kernel is compiled with "-fzero-call-used-regs" the compiler
will clobber caller-saved registers at the end of C functions, which
will result in unexpectedly zeroed registers at the call site of the
related paravirt functions.

Replace the C functions with DEFINE_PARAVIRT_ASM() constructs using
the same instructions as the related paravirt calls in the
PVOP_ALT_[V]CALLEE*() macros. And since they're not C functions visible
to the compiler anymore, latter won't do the callee-clobbered zeroing
invoked by -fzero-call-used-regs and thus won't corrupt registers.
