[PATCH v3 10/13] x86/retpoline/pvops: Convert assembler indirect jumps

From: David Woodhouse
Date: Thu Jan 04 2018 - 09:39:41 EST


Convert pvops invocations to use non-speculative call sequences, when
CONFIG_RETPOLINE is enabled.

There is scope for future optimisation here â once the pvops methods are
actually set, we could just turn the damn things into *direct* jumps.
But this is perfectly sufficient for now, without that added complexity.
