[PATCH 2/5] xen/xsm: Complete altcall conversion of xsm interface
Posted by Andrew Cooper 4 years, 3 months ago
With alternative_call() capable of handling compound types, the three
remaining hooks can be optimised at boot time too.

I'm on the fence as to whether to declare this as fixing "xsm: convert xsm_ops
hook calls to alternative call"

Forgot to say a word on this: I'd consider Fixes: appropriate, as the
commit's description says nothing about these having been left out,
nor why.

I don't know about fixing but completing was accurate. I am fairly 
certain in one of the incarnations of the patch set there was a comment 
identifying that these were left remaining since compound types were not 
supported by altcall.
