Drop the variants using 2 32-bit values instead of a single 64-bit one
of the *_on_cpu() MSR access functions.
Juergen Gross (8):
x86/msr: Switch rdmsr_on_cpu() to return a 64-bit quantity
x86/msr: Switch all callers of rdmsrq_on_cpu() to use rdmsr_on_cpu()
x86/msr: Switch wrmsr_on_cpu() to use a 64-bit quantity
x86/msr: Switch all callers of wrmsrq_on_cpu() to use wrmsr_on_cpu()
x86/msr: Switch rdmsr_safe_on_cpu() to return a 64-bit quantity
x86/msr: Switch all callers of rdmsrq_safe_on_cpu() to use
rdmsr_safe_on_cpu()
x86/msr: Switch wrmsr_safe_on_cpu() to use a 64-bit quantity
x86/msr: Switch all callers of wrmsrq_safe_on_cpu() to use
wrmsr_safe_on_cpu()

Now that rdmsr_safe_on_cpu() has the same interface as
rdmsrq_safe_on_cpu(), the callers of rdmsrq_safe_on_cpu() can be
switched to rdmsr_safe_on_cpu() and rdmsrq_safe_on_cpu() can be
removed.

Please split this into two patches: one that does the API
change only, and one that removes the now obsolete definitions.

Similarly to the other patches, this should be split into two
patches as well.

Followup, instead of:
x86/msr: Switch wrmsr_safe_on_cpu() to use a 64-bit quantity
x86/msr: Switch all callers of wrmsrq_safe_on_cpu() to use wrmsr_safe_on_cpu()
Please just transition the users to the 64-bit API and remove the
unused 32-bit API:
x86/msr: Switch all callers of wrmsr_safe_on_cpu() to use wrmsrq_safe_on_cpu()
x86/mrs: Remove unused wrmsrq_safe_on_cpu() API
Thanks,
Ingo

To sum up my review feedback for the invididual patches, we want
to do this instead:
x86/msr: Convert rdmsrl_on_cpu() users to rdmsrq_on_cpu()
x86/msr: Drop the rdmsrl_on_cpu() alias to rdmsrq_on_cpu()
x86/msr: Switch all callers of rdmsr_on_cpu() to use rdmsrq_on_cpu()
x86/msr: Remove the unused rdmsr_on_cpu() API
x86/msr: Switch all callers of wrmsr_on_cpu() to use wrmsrq_on_cpu()
x86/msr: Remove unused wrmsr_on_cpu() API
x86/msr: Switch all callers of rdmsr_safe_on_cpu() to use rdmsrq_safe_on_cpu()
x86/msr: Remove unused rdmsr_safe_on_cpu() API
x86/msr: Switch all callers of wrmsr_safe_on_cpu() to use wrmsrq_safe_on_cpu()
x86/mrs: Remove unused wrmsrq_safe_on_cpu() API
Note how there's no "conversion" of the 32-bit API itself in this
approach, we just do a straightforward migration of the users to
the already existing 64-bit APIs, then remove any unused APIs.
Thanks,
Ingo

Fine with me, but I just wanted to get rid of the "q" and "l" suffices
completely, as they serve no special purpose after dropping all other
variants.
OTOH if wanted such a switch could be done later easily.

Well, we had a similar discussion back when we standardized on
rdmsrq() and wrmsrq(), and we use them as our primary 64-bit
MSR handling APIs. Why have a different pattern in any of the
derived APIs? It should really use the same conceptual namespace,
not some confusing mixture of two naming schemes.

In the long run I'd like to do the same conversion for the rdmsr*() and
wrmsr*() interfaces, too (so only offering and using the 64-bit variants).
I understand that this is not guaranteed to be accepted immediately after
this series, so I agree that it is better to keep the "q" suffix for now
in order to avoid confusion.

Why? We had this discussion for the original MSR API namespace
cleanup a year ago, and decided to standardize on the rdmsrq()/wrmsrq()
namespace:
c435e608cf59 x86/msr: Rename 'rdmsrl()' to 'rdmsrq()'
78255eb23973 x86/msr: Rename 'wrmsrl()' to 'wrmsrq()'
6fe22abacd40 x86/msr: Rename 'rdmsrl_safe()' to 'rdmsrq_safe()'
6fa17efe4544 x86/msr: Rename 'wrmsrl_safe()' to 'wrmsrq_safe()'
5e404cb7ac4c x86/msr: Rename 'rdmsrl_safe_on_cpu()' to 'rdmsrq_safe_on_cpu()'
27a23a544a55 x86/msr: Rename 'wrmsrl_safe_on_cpu()' to 'wrmsrq_safe_on_cpu()'
d7484babd2c4 x86/msr: Rename 'rdmsrl_on_cpu()' to 'rdmsrq_on_cpu()'
c895ecdab2e4 x86/msr: Rename 'wrmsrl_on_cpu()' to 'wrmsrq_on_cpu()'
ebe29309c4d2 x86/msr: Rename 'mce_rdmsrl()' to 'mce_rdmsrq()'
8e44e83f57c3 x86/msr: Rename 'mce_wrmsrl()' to 'mce_wrmsrq()'
e2b8af0c6939 x86/msr: Rename 'rdmsrl_amd_safe()' to 'rdmsrq_amd_safe()'
604d15d15ebd x86/msr: Rename 'wrmsrl_amd_safe()' to 'wrmsrq_amd_safe()'
7cbc2ba7c107 x86/msr: Rename 'native_wrmsrl()' to 'native_wrmsrq()'
eef476f15c83 x86/msr: Rename 'wrmsrl_cstar()' to 'wrmsrq_cstar()'
There's several good reasons to use the 'q' suffix in the API names,
why relitigate this? :-)
Thanks,
Ingo

And just to be clear: I have no objections whatsoever to
phasing out all the old 32-bit APIs, like your series does.

And regarding the "q" suffix: I'm not insisting to drop it, I just felt it would
no longer be needed when the variants without suffix no longer exist. If you
like to keep it, then be it so.
