kvmppc_hv_entry isn't called from anywhere other than
book3s_hv_rmhandlers.S itself. Removing .global scope for
this function.

Subject: [PATCH 2/2] arch/powerpc/kvm: kvmppc_hv_entry: remove r4 argument

kvmppc_hv_entry is called from only 2 locations within
book3s_hv_rmhandlers.S. Both of those locations set r4
as HSTATE_KVM_VCPU(r13) before calling kvmppc_hv_entry.
So, shift the r4 load instruction to kvmppc_hv_entry and
thus modify the calling convention of this function.

I see the following objtool warning with this patch applied.
arch/powerpc/kvm/book3s_hv_rmhandlers.o: warning: objtool: .text+0x48:
unannotated intra-function call

Annotating kvmppc_hv_entry symbol with SYM_FUNC_START_LOCAL and
SYM_FUNC_END macros should help fix this warning.

Thanks,

I am posting v2 of this patch-set now.
I have tested this on POWER8 and it works fine.
Can anyone review the v2 for this patch ?
I didn't receive any review comments for this patch.
