While I agree, they are only used by the new vGIC, the implementation of the functions are not. So I don't think they should be protected by CONFIG_NEW_VGIC. Actually, I am not convinced they should be protected. But I guess you did that for a reason. Would you be able to clarify what is your reason? Cheers,

The functionality of these functions is only related to new VGIC implementation which can handle level triggered vIRQs. So I do not think that these functions are generic and thus I believe they should be protected. > Cheers, > Cheers, Michal

This is a known error in the vGIC implementation which should be resolved before this leads to a disaster. > So I do not think that these functions are generic and thus I believe they should be protected. None of the functions rely on the internal of the new vGIC. In fact, as I wrote above, the current vGIC ought to be able to handle level-trigger interrupt properly. They are not called for the current vGIC because there was concern about the performance impact on each trap (see [1]). So I think those functions ought to stay compiled in for everyone.

The error has been present for such a long time because no-one yet volunteered to properly fix it. That said, the new vGIC has been an attempt to resolve it but the effort kind of died. It would be nice to revive the effort. Cheers,

vtimer_update_irqs, vtimer_update_irq and vcpu_update_evtchn_irq if CONFIG_NEW_VGIC is not set. enter_hypervisor_from_guest is protecting calls to these functions with CONFIG_NEW_VGIC but their definitions and declarations are not protected. This means that we are including them in the image even though we are not making use of them. Fix that.
