[PATCH 00/13] x86/paravirt: Make pv ops code generation more closely match reality

[Josh Poimboeuf <jpoimboe@redhat.com>]

This changes the pv ops code generation to more closely match reality.

For example, instead of:

  callq  *0xffffffff81e3a400 (pv_irq_ops.save_fl)

vmlinux will now show:

  pushfq
  pop    %rax
  nop
  nop
  nop
  nop
  nop

which is what the runtime version of the code will show in most cases.

This idea was suggested by Andy Lutomirski.

The benefits are:

- For the most common runtime cases (everything except Xen and vSMP),
  vmlinux disassembly now matches what the actual runtime code looks
  like.  This improves debuggability and kernel developer sanity (a
  precious resource).

- It fixes a KASAN warning in the ORC unwinder due to objtool not
  understanding the .parainstructions stuff.

- It's hopefully a first step in simplifying paravirt patching by
  getting rid of .parainstructions, pv ops, and apply_paravirt()
  completely.  (I think Xen can be changed to set CPU feature bits to
  specify which ops it needs during early boot, then those ops can be
  patched in using early alternatives.)

For more details, see the commit log in patch 11/13.
