[v3,0/3] KVM/x86: Enhancements to static calls

Message

Wang, Wei W April 25, 2024, 12:52 p.m. UTC

This patchset introduces the KVM_X86_CALL() and KVM_PMU_CALL() macros to
streamline the usage of static calls of kvm_x86_ops and kvm_pmu_ops. The
current static_call() usage is a bit verbose and can lead to code
alignment challenges, and the addition of kvm_x86_ prefix to hooks at the
static_call() sites hinders code readability and navigation. The use of
static_call_cond() is essentially the same as static_call() on x86, so it
is replaced by static_call() to simplify the code. The changes have gone
through my tests (guest launch, a few vPMU tests, live migration tests)
without an issue.

v2->v3 changes:
- Change the KVM_X86_CALL() definition to have the parameters in their
  owen paratheses.
- Update the .get_cpl() hook in pmu.c to use KVM_X86_CALL().
  (it was omitted in v2)

v1->v2 changes:
- Replace static_call_cond() with static_call()
- Rename KVM_X86_SC to KVM_X86_CALL, and updated all the call sites
- Add KVM_PMU_CALL() 
- Add patch 4 and 5 to review the idea of removing KVM_X86_OP_OPTIONAL
