Subject: [PATCH v2] x86/paravirt: Drop {read,write}_cr8() hooks

There is a lot of infrastructure for functionality which is used
exclusively in __{save,restore}_processor_state() on the suspend/resume
path.

cr8 is an alias of APIC_TASKPRI, and APIC_TASKPRI is saved/restored by
lapic_{suspend,resume}(). Saving and restoring cr8 independently of the
rest of the Local APIC state isn't a clever thing to be doing.

Delete the suspend/resume cr8 handling, which shrinks the size of struct
saved_context, and allows for the removal of both PVOPS.

I think removing the interface for CR8 writes is also good to avoid
potential correctness issues, as the SDM says (10.8.6.1 "Interaction of Task
Priorities between CR8 and APIC”):

"Operating software should implement either direct APIC TPR updates or CR8
style TPR updates but not mix them. Software can use a serializing
instruction (for example, CPUID) to serialize updates between MOV CR8 and
stores to the APIC.”

And native_write_cr8() did not even issue a serializing instruction.

Given its location, the one write_cr8() is bounded by two serialising
operations, so is safe in practice.

However, I agree with the statement in the manual.  I could submit a v3
with an updated commit message, or let it be fixed on commit.  Whichever
is easiest.

I don't see anything wrong with the message. If we actually used CR8
for interrupt priorities, we wouldn't want it to serialize. The bug
is that the code that did the write_cr8() should have had a comment as
to how it serialized against lapic_restore(). But that doesn't seem
worth mentioning in the message, since, as noted, the real problem was
that it nonsensically restored just TPR without restoring everything
else.

That’s what the “potential” in "potential correctness issues” means :)

Fair enough, in which case I'm happy with v2 as it is.

x86/paravirt: Drop {read,write}_cr8() hooks

There is a lot of infrastructure for functionality which is used
exclusively in __{save,restore}_processor_state() on the suspend/resume
path.

cr8 is an alias of APIC_TASKPRI, and APIC_TASKPRI is saved/restored by
lapic_{suspend,resume}(). Saving and restoring cr8 independently of the
rest of the Local APIC state isn't a clever thing to be doing.

Delete the suspend/resume cr8 handling, which shrinks the size of struct
saved_context, and allows for the removal of both PVOPS.
