    [PATCH] paravirt: fix missing pte update · 8ecb8950
    Zachary Amsden authored
    The function ptep_get_and_clear uses an atomic instruction sequence to get and
    clear an active pte.  Rather than add such an atomic operator to all virtual
    machine implementations in paravirt-ops, it is easier to support the raw
    atomic sequence and use either a trapping writable pagetable approach, or a
    post-update notification.  For the post update notification, we require the
    pte_update function to be called after the access.  Combine the 2-level and
    3-level paging operators into one common function which does the post-update
    notification, and rename the actual atomic sequences to raw_ptep_xxx
    operators.
