[PATCH 0/3] x86: Use static_call for three smp_ops methods

From: Eric Dumazet

Date: Mon Dec 22 2025 - 15:14:09 EST


Busy hosts with RFS enabled can send more than 6,000,000 IPI
per second. arch_send_call_function_single_ipi() is currently
using an indirect call (because Xen can override the target).

Indirect calls are expensive on some platforms with retpoline.

This series converts three smp_ops methods to static_call
infrastructure to remove common indirect calls.

Eric Dumazet (3):
x86/smp: Use static_call for arch_send_call_function_single_ipi()
x86/smp: Use static_call for arch_smp_send_reschedule()
x86/smp: Use static_call for arch_send_call_function_ipi()
