[PATCH v11 08/12] kvm: Define EXPORT_STATIC_CALL_FOR_KVM()
From: Pawan Gupta
Date: Thu Apr 23 2026 - 02:20:44 EST
EXPORT_SYMBOL_FOR_KVM() exists to export symbols to KVM modules. Static
calls need the same treatment when the core kernel defines a static_call
that KVM needs access to (e.g. from a VM-exit path).
Define EXPORT_STATIC_CALL_FOR_KVM() as the static_call analogue of
EXPORT_SYMBOL_FOR_KVM(). The same three-way logic applies:
- KVM_SUB_MODULES defined: export to "kvm," plus all sub-modules
- KVM=m, no sub-modules: export to "kvm" only
- KVM built-in: no export needed (noop)
As with EXPORT_SYMBOL_FOR_KVM(), allow architectures to override both
macros (e.g. to suppress the export when kvm.ko itself will not be
built despite CONFIG_KVM=m). Add the x86 no-op overrides in
arch/x86/include/asm/kvm_types.h for that case. To keep the pair in
sync, EXPORT_STATIC_CALL_FOR_KVM() is defined inside the
EXPORT_SYMBOL_FOR_KVM #ifndef block; an arch that defines
EXPORT_SYMBOL_FOR_KVM must also define EXPORT_STATIC_CALL_FOR_KVM or the
build will fail with a compile-time error.
As with EXPORT_SYMBOL_FOR_KVM(), allow architectures to override
EXPORT_STATIC_CALL_FOR_KVM definition (e.g. to suppress the export when
kvm.ko itself will not be built despite CONFIG_KVM=m). Add the x86 no-op
override in arch/x86/include/asm/kvm_types.h for that case.
Architectures must also define EXPORT_STATIC_CALL_FOR_KVM when they define
EXPORT_SYMBOL_FOR_KVM.
