[PATCH v2 00/15] xen: drop hypercall function tables

[Juergen Gross <jgross@xxxxxxxx>]

In order to avoid indirect function calls on the hypercall path as
much as possible this series is removing the hypercall function tables
and is replacing the hypercall handler calls via the function array
by automatically generated call macros.

Another by-product of generating the call macros is the automatic
generating of the hypercall handler prototypes from the same data base
which is used to generate the macros.

This has the additional advantage of using type safe calls of the
handlers and to ensure related handler (e.g. PV and HVM ones) share
the same prototypes.

A very brief performance test (parallel build of the Xen hypervisor
in a 6 vcpu guest) showed a very slim improvement (less than 1%) of
the performance with the patches applied. The test was performed using
a PV and a PVH guest.

Changes in V2:
- new patches 6, 14, 15
- patch 7: support hypercall priorities for faster code
- comments addressed

Juergen Gross (15):
  xen: limit number of hypercall parameters to 5
  xen: move do_vcpu_op() to arch specific code
  xen: harmonize return types of hypercall handlers
  xen/x86: modify hvm_memory_op() prototype
  xen: don't include asm/hypercall.h from C sources
  add .gitignore entries for *.[is] below xen
  xen: generate hypercall interface related code
  xen: use generated prototypes for hypercall handlers
  x86/pv-shim: don't modify hypercall table
  xen/x86: don't use hypercall table for calling compat hypercalls
  xen/x86: call hypercall handlers via generated macro
  xen/arm: call hypercall handlers via generated macro
  xen/x86: add hypercall performance counters for hvm, correct pv
  xen: drop calls_to_multicall performance counter
  tools/xenperf: update hypercall names
