Subject: [PATCH v4 0/4] Add a unified parameter "nopvspin"
Date:   Thu,  3 Oct 2019 22:02:11 +0800
Message-Id: <1570111335-12731-1-git-send-email-zhenzhong.duan@oracle.com>
Sender: linux-kernel-owner@vger.kernel.org
Precedence: bulk

There are cases folks want to disable spinlock optimization for
debug/test purpose. Xen and hyperv already have parameters "xen_nopvspin"
and "hv_nopvspin" to support that, but kvm doesn't.

The first patch adds that feature to KVM guest with "nopvspin".

For compatibility reason original parameters "xen_nopvspin" and
"hv_nopvspin" are retained and marked obsolete.


v4:
PATCH1: use variable name nopvspin instead of pvspin and
        defined it as __initdata, changed print message,
        updated patch description                     [Sean Christopherson]
PATCH2: remove Suggested-by, use "kvm-guest:" prefix  [Sean Christopherson]
PATCH3: make variable nopvsin and xen_pvspin coexist
        remove Reviewed-by due to code change         [Sean Christopherson]
PATCH4: make variable nopvsin and hv_pvspin coexist   [Sean Christopherson]

v3:
PATCH2: Fix indentation

v2:
PATCH1: pick the print code change into separate PATCH2,
        updated patch description             [Vitaly Kuznetsov]
PATCH2: new patch with print code change      [Vitaly Kuznetsov]
PATCH3: add Reviewed-by                       [Juergen Gross]

Zhenzhong Duan (4):
  x86/kvm: Add "nopvspin" parameter to disable PV spinlocks
  x86/kvm: Change print code to use pr_*() format
  xen: Mark "xen_nopvspin" parameter obsolete
  x86/hyperv: Mark "hv_nopvspin" parameter obsolete
