Really? Even when called directly from irq_core_bus_sync_unlock with

... This code is not correct. It was initially done as a workaround for the issues fixed in commit 202da4005.

Now that on_each_cpu() is less buggy, we can unconditionally use it and the assertion above about "Interrupts are already disabled" will be true.

Is there any point even providing this callback?

I guess we can add them only when they are implemented.

Or this one?

Same.

This strikes me as a bit hacky. Are you sure it's actually necessary? (I
would have expected some generic hotplug notifier somewhere to ensure
that percpu clocksources gets initialised sensibly when a new CPU is
brought up)


+static void paravirt_boot_secondary(int cpu, struct task_struct *idle)

spurious brackets around task_thread_info(idle)

Wouldn't smp_wmb() be more accurate?

Probably.


+	paravirt_smp_sp[cpu] = __KSTK_TOS(idle);
+	mb();

is this barrier necessary?

Really it is just make_writes_visible_asap(), but for OCTEON mb() or smp_wmb() is the closest that the kernel has.

It may not be necessary, but it doesn't really harm anything.

I think the hypcall API needs to be clearly specified and Documented
somewhere along with its HYPCALL codes and scope. I.e. is it specific to
kvmtool, or attempting to be a standard API across MIPS hypervisors.


I was intending it to be the later.  (standard API across MIPS hypervisors.)

The idea being that the first argument would be broken up into several ranges.

0..x : Globally available HYPCALL provided by all hypervisors.

m..n : MIPS KVM specific.

y..z : Reserved for the vendor.


For some values of x, m, n, y and z.

But perhaps it should just be MIPS KVM specific. If making it global is too much trouble.


It probably should have nice definitions in a header and wrappers
somewhere to make the arguments explicit and so there's no need for the
comments explaining what the magic values mean.

Cheers
James
