[RFC PATCH 16/26] x86/alternatives: Add paravirt patching at runtime

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Add paravirt_patch_runtime() which uses text_poke_late() to patch
paravirt sites.

Also add paravirt_worker() which does the actual insn generation
generate_paravirt() (which uses runtime_patch() to generate the
appropriate native or paravirt insn sequences) and then calls
text_poke_site() to do the actual poking.
