Subject[PATCH 4.4 29/43] x86/cpufeature: Speed up cpu_feature_enabled()
Date
4.4-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Borislav Petkov <bp@suse.de>

commit f2cc8e0791c70833758101d9756609a08dd601ec upstream

When GCC cannot do constant folding for this macro, it falls back to
cpu_has(). But static_cpu_has() is optimal and it works at all times
now. So use it and speedup the fallback case.

Before we had this:

mov 0x99d674(%rip),%rdx # ffffffff81b0d9f4 <boot_cpu_data+0x34>
shr $0x2e,%rdx
and $0x1,%edx
jne ffffffff811704e9 <do_munmap+0x3f9>

After alternatives patching, it turns into:

jmp 0xffffffff81170390
nopl (%rax)
...
callq ffffffff81056e00 <mpx_notify_unmap>
ffffffff81170390: mov 0x170(%r12),%rdi
