#1273534 — [PATCH v2 0/3] Fix and cleanup for 32-bit PV sysexit

FromBoris Ostrovsky <boris.ostrovsky@oracle.com>

Subject[PATCH v2 0/3] Fix and cleanup for 32-bit PV sysexit
Message-ID<qwFpf-6AK-5@gated-at.bofh.it>
The first patch fixes Xen PV regression introduced by 32-bit rewrite. Unlike the
earlier version it uses ALTERNATIVE instruction and avoids using xen_sysexit
(and sysret32 in compat mode) pv ops, as suggested by Andy.

As result of this patch irq_enable_sysexit and usergs_sysret32 pv ops are not
used anymore by anyone and so can be removed.


v2:
  * patch both TEST and JZ intructions with a single JMP
  * Add magic prefix to X86_FEATURE_XENPV comment to avoid having it printed in
    /proc/cpuinfo
  * Clarify in commit messages why irq_enable_sysexit and usergs_sysret32 are
    removed


Boris Ostrovsky (3):
  x86/xen: Avoid fast syscall path for Xen PV guests
  x86: irq_enable_sysexit pv op is no longer needed
  x86: usergs_sysret32 pv op is no longer needed

safely remove it.

This whole series is:

Acked-by: Andy Lutomirski <luto@kernel.org>

Now I just have to sucker someone into getting rid of
PARAVIRT_ADJUST_EXCEPTION_FRAME (by using stub entries) and the
overcomplicated syscall entry stuff.  :)  And whoever gets rid of
PARAVIRT_ADJUST_EXCEPTION_FRAME gets to wonder why it doesn't crash
and burn for NMIs on Xen, since I'm reasonably confident that it can't
possibly be correct.
