Subject: [PATCH] x86/paravirt: convert simple paravirt functions to asm

All functions referenced via __PV_IS_CALLEE_SAVE() need to be assembler
functions, as those functions calls are hidden from gcc. In case the
kernel is compiled with "-fzero-call-used-regs" the compiler will
clobber caller-saved registers at the end of C functions, which will
result in unexpectedly zeroed registers at the call site of the
related paravirt functions.

Replace the C functions with DEFINE_PARAVIRT_ASM() constructs using
the same instructions as the related paravirt calls in the
PVOP_ALT_[V]CALLEE*() macros.

Right, works with my particular reproducer.

Turning them into asm prevents the compiler from doing the
callee-clobbered zeroing and that's fine as this whole paravirt gunk is
hiding the "CALL" insn from it and you putting them in asm is in line
with this.

And a negative diffstat..

So yeah, I'll queue it soon unless someone objects.

Long term, I think we should continue switching all that pv stuff to
using the alternatives.

Thx.

Thanks.

The "normal" cases not using alternatives should rather be switched to
static calls.

Whether it is possible to mix a static call with alternatives needs to
be evaluated.

Or that.

I'd prefer not to mix them. Either should be fine and if neither have
the required functionality, then it should be added depending on which
- static calls or alternatives - would make things simpler.

I'd love to get rid of the whole paravirt glue and use the facilities we
have in the tree instead.

But no hurry - it should be nice and clean work. :-)

Yes, and I'm inclined to even put pv_native_save_fl into the noinstr
section. After paravirt patching it isn't called anymore anyway.
