Subject: [PATCHv6 15/30] x86/boot: Port I/O: allow to hook up alternative helpers

Port I/O instructions trigger #VE in the TDX environment. In response to
the exception, kernel emulates these instructions using hypercalls.

But during early boot, on the decompression stage, it is cumbersome to
deal with #VE. It is cleaner to go to hypercalls directly, bypassing #VE
handling.

Add a way to hook up alternative port I/O helpers in the boot stub with
a new pio_ops structure. For now, set the ops structure to just call
the normal I/O operation functions.

out*()/in*() macros redefined to use pio_ops callbacks. It eliminates
need in changing call sites. io_delay() changed to use port I/O helper
instead of inline assembly.

u8 (*inb)(u16 port);
void (*outb)(u8 v, u16 port);
void (*outw)(u16 v, u16 port);

is all what's used AFAICT.

#define DEFINE_PORT_IO_OPS() \
struct port_io_ops pio_ops = { \
.inb = __inb, \
.outb = __outb, \
.outw = __outw, }

Hmm?

Hm. Okay. I will drop the rest.

This kind of initializations are problematic. They generate run-time
relacations that kernel cannot handle in the boot stub. Linker complains
about this:

ld.lld: error: Unexpected run-time relocations (.rela) detected!

I will leave it as is, unless you have better ideas.

Right now you've got:

#define inb pio_ops.inb

You keep the preprocessor away from things like

foo.inb = bar;

with:

#define inb(x) pio_ops.inb(x)

... and I spotted my nonsense just as I hit send.

You could do that ^^. But you'd need to rename the 'inb' op like:

struct port_io_ops {
u8 (*f_inb)(u16 port);
...
};

so that you do:

#define inb(x) pio_ops.f_inb(x)

But, remember when I said I hate playing #define tricks? ;) This is one
reason why.

But the define tricks are unrelated to the linker issue. The issue pops up
after you get past the preprocessor tricks.

Bah, did not think about that.
