It may happen that Xen's and Linux's ideas of vCPU id diverge. In
particular, when we crash on a secondary vCPU we may want to do kdump
and unlike plain kexec where we do migrate_to_reboot_cpu() we try booting
on the vCPU which crashed. This doesn't work very well for PVHVM guests as
we have a number of hypercalls where we pass vCPU id as a parameter. These
hypercalls either fail or do something unexpected. To solve the issue we
need to have a mapping between Linux's and Xen's vCPU ids.

This series solves the issue for x86 PVHVM guests. PV guests don't (and
probably won't) support kdump so I always assume Xen's vCPU id == Linux's
vCPU id. ARM guests will probably need to get proper mapping once we start
supporting kexec/kdump there.

Vitaly Kuznetsov (8):
  x86/xen: update cpuid.h from Xen-4.7
  xen: introduce xen_vcpu_id mapping
  x86/xen: use xen_vcpu_id mapping for HYPERVISOR_vcpu_op
  x86/xen: use xen_vcpu_id mapping when pointing vcpu_info to the
    shared_info page
  xen/events: use xen_vcpu_id mapping in events_base
  xen/events: fifo: use xen_vcpu_id mapping
  xen/evtchn: use xen_vcpu_id mapping
  xen/pvhvm: run xen_vcpu_setup() for the boot CPU
