Re: [PATCH v3 00/21] paravirt: cleanup and reorg



Ping?

I think at least the first 12 patches can just go in.

The others still lack review.

Some cleanups and reorg of paravirt code and headers:

- The first 2 patches should be not controversial at all, as they
   remove just some no longer needed #include and struct forward
   declarations.

- The 3rd patch is removing CONFIG_PARAVIRT_DEBUG, which IMO has
   no real value, as it just changes a crash to a BUG() (the stack
   trace will basically be the same). As the maintainer of the main
   paravirt user (Xen) I have never seen this crash/BUG() to happen.

- The 4th patch is just a movement of code.

- I don't know for what reason asm/paravirt_api_clock.h was added,
   as all archs supporting it do it exactly in the same way. Patch
   5 is removing it.

- Patches 6-14 are streamlining the paravirt clock interfaces by
   using a common implementation across architectures where possible
   and by moving the related code into common sched code, as this is
   where it should live.

- Patches 15-20 are more like RFC material preparing the paravirt
   infrastructure to support multiple pv_ops function arrays.
   As a prerequisite for that it makes life in objtool much easier
   with dropping the Xen static initializers of the pv_ops sub-
   structures, which is done in patches 15-17.
   Patches 18-20 are doing the real preparations for multiple pv_ops
   arrays and using those arrays in multiple headers.

- Patch 21 is an example how the new scheme can look like using the
   PV-spinlocks.

Changes in V2:
- new patches 13-18 and 20
- complete rework of patch 21

Changes in V3:
- fixed 2 issues detected by kernel test robot
