Hi, Bibo,

The patch adds paravirt interface for guest kernel, function
pv_guest_initi() firstly checks whether system runs on VM mode. If kernel
runs on VM mode, it will call function kvm_para_available() to detect
whether current VMM is KVM hypervisor. And the paravirt function can work
only if current VMM is KVM hypervisor, since there is only KVM hypervisor
supported on LoongArch now.

This patch only adds paravirt interface for guest kernel, however there
is not effective pv functions added here.

The steal time code can be removed in this patch, I think.

Originally I want to remove this piece of code, but it fails to compile
if CONFIG_PARAVIRT is selected. Here is reference code, function
paravirt_steal_clock() must be defined if CONFIG_PARAVIRT is selected.

static __always_inline u64 steal_account_process_time(u64 maxtime)
{
#ifdef CONFIG_PARAVIRT
if (static_key_false(&paravirt_steal_enabled)) {
u64 steal;

steal = paravirt_steal_clock(smp_processor_id());
steal -= this_rq()->prev_steal_time;
steal = min(steal, maxtime);
account_steal_time(steal);
this_rq()->prev_steal_time += steal;

return steal;
}
#endif
return 0;
}
OK, then keep it.

I prefer use CONFIG_PARAVIRT here, though you have a dummy version for
!CONFIG_PARAVIRT, I think it is better to let others clearly know that
PARAVIRT is an optional feature.
I remember that there is rule that CONFIG_xxx had better be used in
header files rather than c code, so that the code looks neat. Am I wrong?
That depends on what we want, sometimes we want to hide the details,
but sometimes we want to give others a notice.
I want to keep code clean here :)


And there is another problem: if you want to centralize all pv init
functions, it is better to use pv_features_init() rather than
pv_guest_init(); if you want to give each feature an init function,
then we don't need pv_guest_init here, and we can then add a
pv_ipi_init() in the last patch.
Currently I have no idea how to add other pv features like pv stealtimer, I will consider this when adding other pv features. pv_ipi_init/pv_guest_init is both ok for me, pv_ipi_init is better for now.
