Subject: [RFC, PATCH 2/5] Paravirt_ops patch bugs.patch
Date: Thu, 19 Apr 2007 18:52:34 -0700 (PDT) [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20070420015234.5D42EBFC@zach-dev2.vmware.com> (raw)
Failing to patch because not enough space is available for a call or jump
or because the site clobbers do not allow the target clobbers to fit is
a fatal error; it means the kernel can not be properly virtualized.
In patch_insns, we just keep a warning instead; it may not be fatal, as
they paravirt-ops backend may just be trying to insert a greedy but not
necessary inline function.
