Subject: [PATCH] x86/xen: remove deprecated xen_nopvspin boot parameter
Date: Wed, 10 Jul 2024 13:01:39 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20240710110139.22300-1-jgross@suse.com> (raw)
The xen_nopvspin boot parameter is deprecated since 2019. nopvspin
can be used instead.
Remove the xen_nopvspin boot parameter and replace the xen_pvspin
variable use cases with nopvspin.
This requires to move the nopvspin variable out of the .initdata
section, as it needs to be accessed for cpuhotplug, too.

- Disables the qspinlock slowpath using Xen PV optimizations.
- This parameter is obsoleted by "nopvspin" parameter, which
