Subject: [PATCH v2 00/21] paravirt: cleanup and reorg
Date: Wed, 17 Sep 2025 16:51:59 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250917145220.31064-1-jgross@suse.com> (raw)
Some cleanups and reorg of paravirt code and headers:
- The first 2 patches should be not controversial at all, as they
remove just some no longer needed #include and struct forward
declarations.
- The 3rd patch is removing CONFIG_PARAVIRT_DEBUG, which IMO has
no real value, as it just changes a crash to a BUG() (the stack
trace will basically be the same). As the maintainer of the main
paravirt user (Xen) I have never seen this crash/BUG() to happen.
- The 4th patch is just a movement of code.
- I don't know for what reason asm/paravirt_api_clock.h was added,
as all archs supporting it do it exactly in the same way. Patch
5 is removing it.
- Patches 6-14 are streamlining the paravirt clock interfaces by
using a common implementation across architectures where possible
and by moving the related code into common sched code, as this is
where it should live.
- Patches 15-20 are more like RFC material preparing the paravirt
infrastructure to support multiple pv_ops function arrays.
As a prerequisite for that it makes life in objtool much easier
with dropping the Xen static initializers of the pv_ops sub-
structures, which is done in patches 15-17.
Patches 18-20 are doing the real preparations for multiple pv_ops
arrays and using those arrays in multiple headers.
- Patch 21 is an example how the new scheme can look like using the
PV-spinlocks.
Changes in V2:
- new patches 13-18 and 20
- complete rework of patch 21
