The HV_REGISTER_ are used as arguments to hv_set/get_register(), which delegate to arch-specific mechanisms for getting/setting synthetic Hyper-V MSRs. On arm64, HV_REGISTER_ defines are synthetic VP registers accessed via the get/set vp registers hypercalls. The naming matches the TLFS document, although these register names are not specific to arm64. However, on x86 the prefix HV_REGISTER_ indicates Hyper-V MSRs accessed via rdmsrl()/wrmsrl(). This is not consistent with the TLFS doc, where HV_REGISTER_ is *only* used for used for VP register names used by the get/set register hypercalls. To fix this inconsistency and prevent future confusion, change the arch-generic aliases used by callers of hv_set/get_register() to have the prefix HV_MSR_ instead of HV_REGISTER_. Use the prefix HV_X64_MSR_ for the x86-only Hyper-V MSRs. On x86, the generic HV_MSR_'s point to the corresponding HV_X64_MSR_. Move the arm64 HV_REGISTER_* defines to the asm-generic hyperv-tlfs.h, since these are not specific to arm64. On arm64, the generic HV_MSR_'s point to the corresponding HV_REGISTER_. While at it, rename hv_get/set_registers() and related functions to hv_get/set_msr(), hv_get/set_nested_msr(), etc. These are only used for Hyper-V MSRs and this naming makes that clear.

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.
