Subject: [PATCH 03/19] x86/kernel/paravirt: Remove read_tsc() and read_tscp() paravirt hooks
From: Andy Lutomirski <luto@...nel.org>
We've had ->read_tsc() and ->read_tscp() paravirt hooks since the very
beginning of paravirt, i.e.,
d3561b7fa0fb ("[PATCH] paravirt: header and stubs for paravirtualisation").
AFAICT, the only paravirt guest implementation that ever replaced these
calls was vmware, and it's gone. Arguably even vmware shouldn't have
hooked rdtsc -- we fully support systems that don't have a TSC at all,
so there's no point for a paravirt implementation to pretend that we
have a TSC but to replace it.
I also doubt that these hooks actually worked. Calls to rdtscl()
and rdtscll(), which respected the hooks, were used seemingly
interchangeably with native_read_tsc(), which did not.
Just remove them. If anyone ever needs them again, they can try to make
a case for why they need them.
Before, on a paravirt config:
text data bss dec hex filename
12618257 1816384 1093632 15528273 ecf151 vmlinux
After:
text data bss dec hex filename
12617207 1816384 1093632 15527223 eced37 vmlinux
