Subject: [PATCH 1/6] xen/x86: streamline set_pte_mfn()
Date: Thu, 30 Sep 2021 14:34:56 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <b39c08e8-4a53-8bca-e6e7-3684a6cab8d0@suse.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <022b1a5e-4121-6bae-f07c-4ad5eac12481@suse.com>
In preparation for restoring xen_set_pte_init()'s original behavior of
avoiding hypercalls, make set_pte_mfn() no longer use the standard
set_pte() code path. That one is more complicated than the alternative
of simply using an available hypercall directly. This way we can avoid
introducing a fair number (2k on my test system) of cases where the
hypervisor would trap-and-emulate page table updates.
