This series was prompted by feedback given in [1]. Patch 1 : Adds safe_hlt() and cli() helpers. Patch 2, 3: Adds an interface to read vcpu stat in selftest. Adds a macro to generate compiler error to detect typos at compile time while parsing vcpu and vm stats. Patch 4 : Fix few of the selftests based on newly defined macro.
This series was split from the Idle HLT intercept support series [2] because the series has a few changes in the vm_get_stat() interface as suggested in [1] and a few changes in two of the self-tests (nx_huge_pages_test.c and dirty_log_page_splitting_test.c) which use vm_get_stat() functionality to retrieve specified VM stats. These changes are unrelated to the Idle HLT intercept support series [2].
