[PATCH 01/62] kvm: Make pi_enable_wakeup_handler() easier to analyze
From: Bart Van Assche
Date: Mon Feb 23 2026 - 17:02:45 EST
From: Bart Van Assche <bvanassche@xxxxxxx>
The Clang thread-safety analyzer does not support comparing expressions
that use per_cpu(). Hence introduce a new local variable to capture the
address of a per-cpu spinlock. This patch prepares for enabling the
Clang thread-safety analyzer.
