[PATCH] KVM: x86/mmu: Avoid retpoline on ->page_fault() with TDP

From: Sean Christopherson
Date: Thu Feb 06 2020 - 17:14:37 EST


Wrap calls to ->page_fault() with a small shim to directly invoke the
TDP fault handler when the kernel is using retpolines and TDP is being
used. Denote the TDP fault handler by nullifying mmu->page_fault, and
annotate the TDP path as likely to coerce the compiler into preferring
the TDP path.

Rename tdp_page_fault() to kvm_tdp_page_fault() as it's exposed outside
of mmu.c to allow inlining the shim.

Haven't done any performance testing, this popped into my head when mucking
with the 5-level page table crud as an easy way to shave cycles in the
happy path.
