x86/paravirt: Fix bool return type for PVOP_CALL()
Commit: 3cded4179481 ("x86/paravirt: Optimize native pv_lock_ops.vcpu_is_preempted()") introduced a paravirt op with bool return type [*] It turns out that the PVOP_CALL*() macros miscompile when rettype is bool. Code that looked like: 83 ef 01 sub $0x1,%edi ff 15 32 a0 d8 00 callq *0xd8a032(%rip) # ffffffff81e28120 <pv_lock_ops+0x20> 84 c0 test %al,%al ended up looking like so after PVOP_CALL1() was applied: 83 ef 01 sub $0x1,%edi 48 63 ff movslq %edi,%rdi ff 14 25 20 81 e2 81 callq *0xffffffff81e28120 48 85 c0 test %rax,%rax Note how it tests the whole of %rax, even though a typical bool return function only sets %al, like: 0f 95 c0 setne %al c3 retq This is because ____PVOP_CALL() does: __ret = (rettype)__eax; and while regular integer type casts truncate the result, a cast to bool tests for any !0 value. Fix this by explicitly truncating to sizeof(rettype) before casting. [*] The actual bug should've been exposed in commit: 446f3dc8cc0a ("locking/core, x86/paravirt: Implement vcpu_is_preempted(cpu) for KVM and Xen guests") but that didn't properly implement the paravirt call.
