      [PATCH] paravirt: header and stubs for paravirtualisation · d3561b7f
      Rusty Russell 提交于
      Create a paravirt.h header for all the critical operations which need to be
      replaced with hypervisor calls, and include that instead of defining native
      operations, when CONFIG_PARAVIRT.
      
      This patch does the dumbest possible replacement of paravirtualized
      instructions: calls through a "paravirt_ops" structure.  Currently these are
      function implementations of native hardware: hypervisors will override the ops
      structure with their own variants.
      
      All the pv-ops functions are declared "fastcall" so that a specific
      register-based ABI is used, to make inlining assember easier.
      
      And:
      
      +From: Andy Whitcroft <apw@shadowen.org>
      
      The paravirt ops introduce a 'weak' attribute onto memory_setup().
      Code ordering leads to the following warnings on x86:
      
          arch/i386/kernel/setup.c:651: warning: weak declaration of
                      `memory_setup' after first use results in unspecified behavior
      
      Move memory_setup() to avoid this.
