Hm, noticed one complication while looking at annotated assembly code in perf top. Code doing function calls from within asm() is incorrectly marked 'leaf' by GCC:
ffffffff812b82d8 <arch_local_save_flags>: ffffffff812b82d8: ff 14 25 00 d9 c1 81 callq *0xffffffff81c1d900 ffffffff812b82df: c3 retq
So all the paravirt details will have to be fixed, so that GCC is able to see that there's a real function call done inside. Jeremy, Konrad?
Thanks,
Ingo
