From 45876233605c268e929a7875081e129debe34bdc Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jeremy Fitzhardinge Date: Wed, 2 May 2007 19:27:13 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] i386: PARAVIRT: use paravirt_nop to consistently mark no-op operations Add a _paravirt_nop function for use as a stub for no-op operations, and paravirt_nop #defined void * version to make using it easier (since all its uses are as a void *). This is useful to allow the patcher to automatically identify noop operations so it can simply nop out the callsite. Signed-off-by: Jeremy Fitzhardinge Signed-off-by: Andi Kleen Acked-by: Ingo Molnar [mingo] but only as a cleanup of the current open-coded (void *) casts. My problem with this is that it loses the types. Not that there is much to check for, but still, this adds some assumptions about how function calls look like --- include/asm-i386/paravirt.h | 3 +++ 1 file changed, 3 insertions(+) (limited to 'include/asm-i386/paravirt.h') diff --git a/include/asm-i386/paravirt.h b/include/asm-i386/paravirt.h index 32acebce9ae2..f0bdaea6235d 100644 --- a/include/asm-i386/paravirt.h +++ b/include/asm-i386/paravirt.h @@ -434,6 +434,9 @@ static inline void pmd_clear(pmd_t *pmdp) #define arch_leave_lazy_mmu_mode() paravirt_ops.set_lazy_mode(PARAVIRT_LAZY_NONE) #define arch_flush_lazy_mmu_mode() paravirt_ops.set_lazy_mode(PARAVIRT_LAZY_FLUSH) +void _paravirt_nop(void); +#define paravirt_nop ((void *)_paravirt_nop) + /* These all sit in the .parainstructions section to tell us what to patch. */ struct paravirt_patch { u8 *instr; /* original instructions */ -- cgit v1.2.3-59-g8ed1b
