From 928a4c39484281f8ca366f53a1db79330d058401 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: David Woodhouse Date: Sat, 10 Feb 2018 23:39:24 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] KVM/x86: Reduce retpoline performance impact in slot_handle_level_range(), by always inlining iterator helper methods MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit With retpoline, tight loops of "call this function for every XXX" are very much pessimised by taking a prediction miss *every* time. This one is by far the biggest contributor to the guest launch time with retpoline. By marking the iterator slot_handle_…() functions always_inline, we can ensure that the indirect function call can be optimised away into a direct call and it actually generates slightly smaller code because some of the other conditionals can get optimised away too. Performance is now pretty close to what we see with nospectre_v2 on the command line.
