Subject: [PATCH v2 0/3] Fix and cleanup for 32-bit PV sysexit
Date: Thu, 19 Nov 2015 16:55:44 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1447970147-1733-1-git-send-email-boris.ostrovsky@oracle.com> (raw)
The first patch fixes Xen PV regression introduced by 32-bit rewrite. Unlike the
earlier version it uses ALTERNATIVE instruction and avoids using xen_sysexit
(and sysret32 in compat mode) pv ops, as suggested by Andy.
As result of this patch irq_enable_sysexit and usergs_sysret32 pv ops are not
used anymore by anyone and so can be removed.
v2:
* patch both TEST and JZ intructions with a single JMP
* Add magic prefix to X86_FEATURE_XENPV comment to avoid having it printed in
/proc/cpuinfo
* Clarify in commit messages why irq_enable_sysexit and usergs_sysret32 are
removed
Boris Ostrovsky (3):
x86/xen: Avoid fast syscall path for Xen PV guests
x86: irq_enable_sysexit pv op is no longer needed
x86: usergs_sysret32 pv op is no longer needed
