[PATCH v3 00/15] x86: major paravirt cleanup

2020-12-17T09:32:50Z

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.

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
