Commit 3cded4179481 ("x86/paravirt: Optimize native pv_lock_ops.vcpu_is_preempted()") introduced a paravirt op with bool return type [*] It turns out that the PVOP_CALL*() macros miscompile when rettype is bool. Code that looked like: 83 ef 01 sub $0x1,%edi ff 15 32 a0 d8 00 callq *0xd8a032(%rip) # ffffffff81e28120 <pv_lock_ops+0x20> 84 c0

From: "Luis R. Rodriguez" <mcgrof at suse.com> The general documentation we have for pv_ops is currenty present on the IA64 docs, but since this documentation covers IA64 xen enablement and IA64 Xen support got ripped out a while ago through commit d52eefb47 present since v3.14-rc1 lets just simplify, generalize and move the pv_ops documentation to a shared place.

Hey, This change adds an entry to the maintainers file to explicitly state that any changes to vmware.c should be sent to the authors of the file as well. If you are thinking why do this now, off late we have seen quite a few changes that touched the "arch/x86/kernel/cpu/vmware.c" file but were not directed to me, someone else made me aware of those changes. It could be that my use of
