    x86/paravirt: Optimize native pv_lock_ops.vcpu_is_preempted() · 3cded417
    Peter Zijlstra 提交于
    Avoid the pointless function call to pv_lock_ops.vcpu_is_preempted()
    when a paravirt spinlock enabled kernel is ran on native hardware.
    
    Do this by patching out the CALL instruction with "XOR %RAX,%RAX"
    which has the same effect (0 return value).
