read_hv_sched_clock_tsc() assumes that the Hyper-V clock counter is
bigger than the variable hv_sched_clock_offset, which is cached during
early boot, but depending on the timing this assumption may be false
when a hibernated VM starts again (the clock counter starts from 0
again) and is resuming back (Note: hv_init_tsc_clocksource() is not
called during hibernation/resume); consequently,
read_hv_sched_clock_tsc() may return a negative integer (which is
interpreted as a huge positive integer since the return type is u64)
and new kernel messages are prefixed with huge timestamps before
read_hv_sched_clock_tsc() grows big enough (which typically takes
several seconds).

Fix the issue by saving the Hyper-V clock counter just before the
suspend, and using it to correct the hv_sched_clock_offset in
resume. This makes hv tsc page based sched_clock continuous and ensures
that post resume, it starts from where it left off during suspend.
Override x86_platform.save_sched_clock_state and
x86_platform.restore_sched_clock_state routines to correct this as soon
as possible.

Note: if Invariant TSC is available, the issue doesn't happen because
1) we don't register read_hv_sched_clock_tsc() for sched clock:
See commit e5313f1c5404 ("clocksource/drivers/hyper-v: Rework
clocksource and sched clock setup");
2) the common x86 code adjusts TSC similarly: see
__restore_processor_state() ->  tsc_verify_tsc_adjust(true) and
x86_platform.restore_sched_clock_state().

Changes from v2:
https://lore.kernel.org/all/20240911045632.3757-1-namjain@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx/
Addressed Michael's comments:
* Changed commit msg to include information on making timestamps
   continuous
* Changed subject to reflect the new file being changed
* Changed variable name for saving offset/counters
* Moved comment on new function introduced from header file to function
   definition.
* Removed the equations in comments
* Rebased to latest linux-next tip

Changes from v1:
https://lore.kernel.org/all/20240909053923.8512-1-namjain@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx/
* Reorganized code as per Michael's comment, and moved the logic to x86
specific files, to keep hyperv_timer.c arch independent.

This all looks good to me now. Thanks for indulging all my comments. :-)

One minor nit: The "Subject:" prefix should not have a dash in "hyper-v".
The goal is to be consistent in the prefixes used for a particular file instead
of wandering all over the place. If you check the commit history for
arch/x86/kernel/cpu/mshyperv.c, you'll see that it is "x86/hyperv", not
"x86/hyperv-v".

This is super picky, so don't respin just for this. The maintainer can
probably fix it when accepting the patch if there are no other changes.

Thank you Michael for reviewing. I'll keep this in mind while posting
any patch in future.
