Subject: [PATCH v5 07/21] arm/paravirt: Use common code for paravirt_steal_clock()
Date: Mon, 5 Jan 2026 12:05:06 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260105110520.21356-8-jgross@suse.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260105110520.21356-1-jgross@suse.com>
Remove the arch specific variant of paravirt_steal_clock() and use
the common one instead.
This allows to remove paravirt.c and paravirt.h from arch/arm.
Until all archs supporting Xen have been switched to the common code
of paravirt_steal_clock(), drivers/xen/time.c needs to include
asm/paravirt.h for those archs, while this is not necessary for arm
any longer.

This changes the kernel so it can modify itself when it is run
under a hypervisor, potentially improving performance significantly
