Subject: [PATCH 1/5] x86/paravirt: Use static_call() for the paravirt spinlock ops
Date: Tue, 4 Aug 2026 07:15:41 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <9a32ae399eb804a02a31af04dcabe7e7ee4f3fdf.1785778551.git.d@ilvokhin.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <cover.1785778551.git.d@ilvokhin.com>
From: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@infradead.org>
queued_spin_lock_slowpath() and queued_spin_unlock() are dispatched
through pv_ops_lock via the paravirt-ops ALTERNATIVE machinery, which
picks the target (native inline store / hypervisor call) once at boot
and cannot change at runtime.
Convert both to static_call(). The site becomes a direct call patched in
place (one byte smaller), and on native the unlock still collapses to
the inline "movb $0, (%rdi)" store, so the fast path is unchanged.
Unlike the ALTERNATIVE mechanism, a static_call() target can also be
updated at runtime via static_call_update(). This is a prerequisite for
the contended_release tracepoint, which has to swap in a traced unlock
while the system is running.
[ ilvokhin: commit message; fix PARAVIRT_SPINLOCKS=n build; teach
__static_call_validate() about the inline unlock insn; make the
slowpath site module-safe: static_call_mod() +
EXPORT_STATIC_CALL_TRAMP(); pass @lock to the callee-save unlock,
fixing a boot hang under CALL_DEPTH_TRACKING. Boot tested native + KVM
PV guest. ]
