[ I think this is a straight repost this patch, which addresses all the previous comments. I'd like to submit this for .24 as the basis for a unified paravirt_ops. Any objections? ] This patch refactors the paravirt_ops structure into groups of functionally related ops: pv_info - random info, rather than function entrypoints pv_init_ops - functions used at boot time (some for module_init

To speed up paravirtualized spinlock handling when running on bare metal introduce a new pvops function "spin_unlock". This is a simple add instruction (possibly with lock prefix) when the kernel is running on bare metal. As the patched instruction includes a lock prefix in some configurations annotate this location to be subject to lock prefix patching. This is working even if

Xen PV guests have been the only ones using it and now they don't.

Failing to patch because not enough space is available for a call or jump or because the site clobbers do not allow the target clobbers to fit is a fatal error; it means the kernel can not be properly virtualized. In patch_insns, we just keep a warning instead; it may not be fatal, as they paravirt-ops backend may just be trying to insert a greedy but not necessary inline function.

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
