Luis Chamberlain April 8, 2016, 11:40 p.m. UTC
We have 4 types of x86 platforms that disable RTC:

  * Intel MID
  * Lguest - uses paravirt
  * Xen dom-U - uses paravirt
  * x86 on legacy systems annotated with an ACPI legacy flag

We can consolidate all of these into a platform specific legacy
quirk set early in boot through i386_start_kernel() and through
x86_64_start_reservations(). This deals with the RTC quirks which
we can rely on through the hardware subarch, the ACPI check can
be dealt with separately.

For Xen things are bit more complex given that the @X86_SUBARCH_XEN
x86_hardware_subarch is shared on for Xen which uses the PV path for
both domU and dom0. Since the semantics for differentiating between
the two are Xen specific we provide a platform helper to help override
default legacy features -- x86_platform.set_legacy_features(). Use
of this helper is highly discouraged, its only purpose should be
to account for the lack of semantics available within your given
x86_hardware_subarch.

As per 0-day, this bumps the vmlinux size using i386-tinyconfig as
follows:

TOTAL   TEXT   init.text    x86_early_init_platform_quirks()
+70     +62    +62          +43

Only 8 bytes overhead total, as the main increase in size is
all removed via __init.

v2: split the subarch check from the ACPI check, clarify
    on the ACPI change commit log why ordering works
v3: add x86_platform.set_legacy_features() to account for dom0,
    add also size impact on vmlinux as per 0-day report

I think this could be even less (see comment below).

You missed the v5 changes here.

Sorry this was a mismatch, the v3 notes are the v5 notes, the
discrepancy between this and the subject was that the patches
have changed over time to be split out on their own and so 
iterations have been meshed / split, etc.. I'll just
update the accounting to match the subject next.

In next replies it would really help if you trim your review on
patches by removing context of the e-mail for hunks / file without
feedback, and only keep the file name / hunk for which you are
commenting on.

0-day tests indicates no size gains, that might be a build cache
issue not sure. Either way, will fold the __init change into
a v6.
