indirect call wrappers: helpers to speed-up indirect calls of builtin
This header define a bunch of helpers that allow avoiding the retpoline overhead when calling builtin functions via function pointers. It boils down to explicitly comparing the function pointers to known builtin functions and eventually invoke directly the latter. The macros defined here implement the boilerplate for the above schema and will be used by the next patches. rfc -> v1: - use branch prediction hint, as suggested by Eric v1 -> v2: - list explicitly the builtin function names in INDIRECT_CALL_*(), as suggested by Ed Cree Suggested-by: NEric Dumazet <edumazet@google.com> Signed-off-by: NPaolo Abeni <pabeni@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: NDavid S.
