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
