[Resend due to all the Cc:'s missing] This is a major cleanup of the paravirt infrastructure aiming at eliminating all custom code patching via paravirt patching. This is achieved by using ALTERNATIVE instead, leading to the ability to give objtool access to the patched in instructions. In order to remove most of the 32-bit special handling from pvops the time related operations are switched to use static_call() instead. At the end of this series all paravirt patching has to do is to replace indirect calls with direct ones. In a further step this could be switched to static_call(), too, but that would require a major header file disentangling. For a clean build without any objtool warnings a modified objtool is required. Currently this is available in the "tip" tree in the objtool/core branch. Changes in V4: - fixed several build failures - removed objtool patch, as objtool patches are in tip now - added patch 1 for making usage of static_call easier - even more cleanup Changes in V3: - added patches 7 and 12 - addressed all comments Changes in V2: - added patches 5-12 Juergen Gross (14): x86/xen: use specific Xen pv interrupt entry for MCE x86/xen: use specific Xen pv interrupt entry for DF x86/pv: switch SWAPGS to ALTERNATIVE x86/xen: drop USERGS_SYSRET64 paravirt call x86: rework arch_local_irq_restore() to not use popf x86/paravirt: switch time pvops functions to use static_call() x86/alternative: support "not feature" and ALTERNATIVE_TERNARY x86: add new features for paravirt patching x86/paravirt: remove no longer needed 32-bit pvops cruft x86/paravirt: simplify paravirt macros x86/paravirt: switch iret pvops to ALTERNATIVE x86/paravirt: add new macros PVOP_ALT* supporting pvops in ALTERNATIVEs x86/paravirt: switch functions with custom code to ALTERNATIVE x86/paravirt: have only one paravirt patch function Peter Zijlstra (1): static_call: Pull some static_call declarations to the type headers arch/x86/Kconfig | 1 + arch/x86/entry/entry_32.S | 4 +- arch/x86/entry/entry_64.S | 28 ++- arch/x86/include/asm/alternative-asm.h | 4 + arch/x86/include/asm/alternative.h | 7 + arch/x86/include/asm/cpufeatures.h | 2 + arch/x86/include/asm/idtentry.h | 6 + arch/x86/include/asm/irqflags.h | 53 ++---- arch/x86/include/asm/mshyperv.h | 2 +- arch/x86/include/asm/paravirt.h | 197 ++++++++------------ arch/x86/include/asm/paravirt_types.h | 227 +++++++++--------------- arch/x86/kernel/Makefile | 3 +- arch/x86/kernel/alternative.c | 49 ++++- arch/x86/kernel/asm-offsets.c | 7 - arch/x86/kernel/asm-offsets_64.c | 3 - arch/x86/kernel/cpu/vmware.c | 5 +- arch/x86/kernel/irqflags.S | 11 -- arch/x86/kernel/kvm.c | 2 +- arch/x86/kernel/kvmclock.c | 2 +- arch/x86/kernel/paravirt-spinlocks.c | 9 + arch/x86/kernel/paravirt.c | 83 +++------ arch/x86/kernel/paravirt_patch.c | 109 ------------ arch/x86/kernel/tsc.c | 2 +- arch/x86/xen/enlighten_pv.c | 36 ++-- arch/x86/xen/irq.c | 23 --- arch/x86/xen/time.c | 11 +- arch/x86/xen/xen-asm.S | 52 +----- arch/x86/xen/xen-ops.h | 3 - drivers/clocksource/hyperv_timer.c | 5 +- drivers/xen/time.c | 2 +- include/linux/static_call.h | 20 --- include/linux/static_call_types.h | 27 +++ tools/include/linux/static_call_types.h | 27 +++ 33 files changed, 376 insertions(+), 646 deletions(-) delete mode 100644 arch/x86/kernel/paravirt_patch.c -- 2.26.2
