Thx.

Yeah, 14 needs ALTERNATIVE_TERNARY so I guess after patch 5, that is.
Thx.

I'm putting 13 at the begin of the series and 14 after 5. Juergen
This is a major cleanup of the paravirt infrastructure aiming at eliminating all custom code patching via paravirt patching. This is achieved by using ALTERNATIVE instead, leading to the ability to give objtool access to the patched in instructions. In order to remove most of the 32-bit special handling from pvops the time related operations are switched to use static_call() instead. At the end of this series all paravirt patching has to do is to replace indirect calls with direct ones. In a further step this could be switched to static_call(), too. Changes in V6: - switched back to "not" bit in feature value for "not feature" - other minor comments addressed Changes in V5: - patches 1-5 of V4 dropped, as already applied - new patches 1+3 - fixed patch 2 - split V4 patch 8 into patches 4+5 - use flag byte instead of negative feature bit for "not feature" Changes in V4: - fixed several build failures - removed objtool patch, as objtool patches are in tip now - added patch 1 for making usage of static_call easier - even more cleanup Changes in V3: - added patches 7 and 12 - addressed all comments Changes in V2: - added patches 5-12 Juergen Gross (12): static_call: move struct static_call_key definition to static_call_types.h x86/paravirt: switch time pvops functions to use static_call() x86/alternative: drop feature parameter from ALTINSTR_REPLACEMENT() x86/alternative: support not-feature x86/alternative: support ALTERNATIVE_TERNARY x86: add new features for paravirt patching x86/paravirt: remove no longer needed 32-bit pvops cruft x86/paravirt: simplify paravirt macros x86/paravirt: switch iret pvops to ALTERNATIVE x86/paravirt: add new macros PVOP_ALT* supporting pvops in ALTERNATIVEs x86/paravirt: switch functions with custom code to ALTERNATIVE x86/paravirt: have only one paravirt patch function arch/arm/include/asm/paravirt.h | 14 +- arch/arm/kernel/paravirt.c | 9 +- arch/arm64/include/asm/paravirt.h | 14 +- arch/arm64/kernel/paravirt.c | 13 +- arch/x86/Kconfig | 1 + arch/x86/entry/entry_32.S | 4 +- arch/x86/entry/entry_64.S | 2 +- arch/x86/include/asm/alternative-asm.h | 7 + arch/x86/include/asm/alternative.h | 23 ++- arch/x86/include/asm/cpufeatures.h | 2 + arch/x86/include/asm/irqflags.h | 7 +- arch/x86/include/asm/mshyperv.h | 2 +- arch/x86/include/asm/paravirt.h | 169 +++++++++---------- arch/x86/include/asm/paravirt_types.h | 210 +++++++++--------------- arch/x86/kernel/Makefile | 3 +- arch/x86/kernel/alternative.c | 51 +++++- arch/x86/kernel/asm-offsets.c | 7 - arch/x86/kernel/cpu/vmware.c | 5 +- arch/x86/kernel/kvm.c | 2 +- arch/x86/kernel/kvmclock.c | 2 +- arch/x86/kernel/paravirt-spinlocks.c | 9 + arch/x86/kernel/paravirt.c | 78 +++------ arch/x86/kernel/paravirt_patch.c | 99 ----------- arch/x86/kernel/tsc.c | 2 +- arch/x86/xen/enlighten_pv.c | 4 +- arch/x86/xen/time.c | 26 +-- drivers/xen/time.c | 3 +- include/linux/static_call.h | 18 -- include/linux/static_call_types.h | 18 ++ tools/include/linux/static_call_types.h | 18 ++ 30 files changed, 348 insertions(+), 474 deletions(-) delete mode 100644 arch/x86/kernel/paravirt_patch.c
