Its not RIP relative, &steal_time lives in the .data..percpu section and is absolute in that. > Anyway, it seems like constraints > aren't allowed for asm() when not in the function context, at least for > the the compiler that I am using (4.8.5). So it is a moot point. Well kvm_steal_time is (host/guest) ABI anyway, so the offset is fixed and hard-coding it isn't a problem. $ readelf -s defconfig-build/vmlinux | grep steal_time 100843: 0000000000017ac0 64 OBJECT WEAK DEFAULT 35 steal_time $ objdump -dr defconfig-build/vmlinux | awk '/[<][^>]*[>]:/ { o=0 } /[<]__raw_callee_save___kvm_vcpu_is_preempted[>]:/ {o=1} { if (o) print $0 }' ffffffff810b4480 <__raw_callee_save___kvm_vcpu_is_preempted>: ffffffff810b4480: 55 push %rbp ffffffff810b4481: 48 89 e5 mov %rsp,%rbp ffffffff810b4484: 48 8b 04 fd 00 94 46 mov -0x7db96c00(,%rdi,8),%rax ffffffff810b448b: 82 ffffffff810b4488: R_X86_64_32S __per_cpu_offset ffffffff810b448c: 80 b8 d0 7a 01 00 00 cmpb $0x0,0x17ad0(%rax) ffffffff810b448e: R_X86_64_32S steal_time+0x10 ffffffff810b4493: 0f 95 c0 setne %al ffffffff810b4496: 5d pop %rbp ffffffff810b4497: c3 retq And as you'll note, the displacement is correct and 'small'. The below relies on the 'extra' cast in PVOP_CALL_ARG1() to extend the argument to 64bit on the call side of things. --- arch/x86/kernel/kvm.c | 21 +++++++++++++++++++++ 1 file changed, 21 insertions(+) diff --git a/arch/x86/kernel/kvm.c b/arch/x86/kernel/kvm.c index 099fcba..2c854b8 100644 --- a/arch/x86/kernel/kvm.c +++ b/arch/x86/kernel/kvm.c @@ -589,6 +589,7 @@ static void kvm_wait(u8 *ptr, u8 val) local_irq_restore(flags); } +#ifdef CONFIG_X86_32 __visible bool __kvm_vcpu_is_preempted(int cpu) { struct kvm_steal_time *src = &per_cpu(steal_time, cpu); @@ -597,6 +598,26 @@ __visible bool __kvm_vcpu_is_preempted(int cpu) } PV_CALLEE_SAVE_REGS_THUNK(__kvm_vcpu_is_preempted); +#else + +extern bool __raw_callee_save___kvm_vcpu_is_preempted(int cpu); + +asm( +".pushsection .text;" +".global __raw_callee_save___kvm_vcpu_is_preempted;" +".type __raw_callee_save___kvm_vcpu_is_preempted, @function;" +"__raw_callee_save___kvm_vcpu_is_preempted:" +FRAME_BEGIN +"movq __per_cpu_offset(,%rdi,8), %rax;" +"cmpb $0, 16+steal_time(%rax);" +"setne %al;" +FRAME_END +"ret;" +".popsection" +); + +#endif + /* * Setup pv_lock_ops to exploit KVM_FEATURE_PV_UNHALT if present. */
