This series removes some no longer needed stuff from paravirt infrastructure and puts large quantities of paravirt ops under a new config option PARAVIRT_XXL which is selected by XEN_PV only. A pvops kernel without XEN_PV being configured is about 2.5% smaller with this series applied. tip commit 5800dc5c19f34e6e03b5adab1282535cb102fafd ("x86/paravirt: Fix spectre-v2 mitigations for

This series contain fixes to make the paravirt_ops code compile and boot on x86_64. This is a follow-up for the previous series from Glauber.

This changes the pv ops code generation to more closely match reality. For example, instead of: callq *0xffffffff81e3a400 (pv_irq_ops.save_fl) vmlinux will now show: pushfq pop %rax nop nop nop nop nop which is what the runtime version of the code will show in most cases. This idea was suggested by Andy Lutomirski. The benefits are: - For the most common runtime cases

Hi, This small series provides some more fixes towards the goal to have the PARAVIRT selectable for x86_64. After that, just some more small steps are needed. The first fix is not even specific for PARAVIRT, and it's actually preventing the whole tree from booting.

Today paravirtualization is a all-or-nothing game: either a kernel is compiled with no paravirtualization support at all, or it is supporting paravirtualized environments like Xen pv-guests or lguest additionally to some paravirtualized tuning for KVM, Hyperv, VMWare or Xen HVM-guests. As support of pv-guests requires quite intrusive pv-hooks (e.g. all access functions to page table entries,

Paravirt ops is currently only capable of either replacing a lot of Linux internal code or none at all. The are users that don't need all of the possibilities pv-ops delivers though. On KVM for example we're perfectly fine not using the PV MMU, thus not touching any MMU code. That way we don't have to improve pv-ops to become fast, we just don't compile the MMU parts in! This

Hi folks, With this series, the bulk of the work of pvops64 is done. Here, I integrate most of the paravirt.c and paravirt.h files, making them applicable to both architectures. CONFIG_PARAVIRT is _not_ present yet. Basically, this code is missing page table integration (patches currently being worked on by Jeremy). Enjoy

The first patch fixes Xen PV regression introduced by 32-bit rewrite. Unlike the earlier version it uses ALTERNATIVE instruction and avoids using xen_sysexit (and sysret32 in compat mode) pv ops, as suggested by Andy. (I ended up patching TEST with XOR to avoid extra NOPs, even though I said yesterday it would be wrong. It's not wrong) As result of this patch irq_enable_sysexit and
