commit 8b79feffeca28c5459458fe78676b081e87c93a4 upstream.

Various PV features (Async PF, PV EOI, steal time) work through memory
shared with hypervisor and when we restore from hibernation we must
properly teardown all these features to make sure hypervisor doesn't
write to stale locations after we jump to the previously hibernated kernel
(which can try to place anything there). For secondary CPUs the job is
already done by kvm_cpu_down_prepare(), register syscore ops to do
the same for boot CPU.

Krzysztof:
This fixes memory corruption visible after second resume from
hibernation:

Backport to v5.4 seems reasonable. Might have sense to earlier versions,
but this was not tested/investigated.

From: Vitaly Kuznetsov <vkuznets@redhat.com>

commit c02027b5742b5aa804ef08a4a9db433295533046 upstream.

Currenly, we disable kvmclock from machine_shutdown() hook and this
only happens for boot CPU. We need to disable it for all CPUs to
guard against memory corruption e.g. on restore from hibernate.

Note, writing '0' to kvmclock MSR doesn't clear memory location, it
just prevents hypervisor from updating the location so for the short
while after write and while CPU is still alive, the clock remains usable
and correct so we don't need to switch to some other clocksource.

From: Vitaly Kuznetsov <vkuznets@redhat.com>

commit 3d6b84132d2a57b5a74100f6923a8feb679ac2ce upstream.

Crash shutdown handler only disables kvmclock and steal time, other PV
features remain active so we risk corrupting memory or getting some
side-effects in kdump kernel. Move crash handler to kvm.c and unify
with CPU offline.

Hi, you should include a cover letter detailing the differences between 
the original patches and the backport.

(I'll review it anyway, but it would have helped).
