[RFC KVM 08/27] KVM: x86: Optimize branches which checks if address space isolation enabled
From: Alexandre Chartre
Date: Mon May 13 2019 - 10:41:22 EST
From: Liran Alon <liran.alon@xxxxxxxxxx>
As every entry to guest checks if should switch from host_mm to kvm_mm,
these branches is at very hot path. Optimize them by using
static_branch.
