Hyper-V has historically initialized stimer-based clockevents late in the process of onlining a CPU because clockevents depend on stimer interrupts. In the original Hyper-V design, stimer interrupts generate a VMbus message, so the VMbus machinery must be running first, and VMbus can't be initialized until relatively late. On x86/64, LAPIC timer based clockevents are used during early initialization before VMbus and stimer-based clockevents are ready, and again during CPU offlining after the stimer clockevents have been shut down. Unfortunately, this design creates problems when offlining CPUs for hibernation or other purposes. stimer-based clockevents are shut down relatively early in the offlining process, so clockevents_unbind_device() must be used to fallback to the LAPIC-based clockevents for the remainder of the offlining process. Furthermore, the late initialization and early shutdown of stimer-based clockevents doesn't work well on ARM64 since there is no other timer like the LAPIC to fallback to. So CPU onlining and offlining doesn't work properly. Fix this by recognizing that stimer Direct Mode is the normal path for newer versions of Hyper-V on x86/64, and the only path on other architectures. With stimer Direct Mode, stimer interrupts don't require any VMbus machinery. stimer clockevents can be initialized and shut down consistent with how it is done for other clockevent devices. While the old VMbus-based stimer interrupts must still be supported for backward compatibility on x86, that mode of operation can be treated as legacy. So add a new Hyper-V stimer entry in the CPU hotplug state list, and use that new state when in Direct Mode. Update the Hyper-V clocksource driver to allocate and initialize stimer clockevents earlier during boot. Update Hyper-V initialization and the VMbus driver to use this new design. As a result, the LAPIC timer is no longer used during boot or CPU onlining/offlining and clockevents_unbind_device() is not called. But retain the old design as a legacy implementation for older versions of Hyper-V that don't support Direct Mode.

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 Restructured Text 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.
