Hi, Convert kvm_x86_ops to use static_call. Shows good performance gains for cpuid loop micro-benchmark (results in patch 3/3). Thanks, -Jason Changes from v1: -Introduce kvm-x86-ops header with eye towards using this to define svm_x86_ops and vmx_x86_ops in follow on patches (Paolo, Sean) -add new patch (1/3), that adds a vmx/svm prefix to help facilitate svm_x86_ops and vmx_x86_ops future conversions. -added amd perf numbres to description of patch 3/3 Jason Baron (3): KVM: X86: append vmx/svm prefix to additional kvm_x86_ops functions KVM: x86: introduce definitions to support static calls for kvm_x86_ops KVM: x86: use static calls to reduce kvm_x86_ops overhead arch/x86/include/asm/kvm-x86-ops.h | 127 +++++++++++++++ arch/x86/include/asm/kvm_host.h | 21 ++- arch/x86/kvm/cpuid.c | 2 +- arch/x86/kvm/hyperv.c | 4 +- arch/x86/kvm/irq.c | 3 +- arch/x86/kvm/kvm_cache_regs.h | 10 +- arch/x86/kvm/lapic.c | 30 ++-- arch/x86/kvm/mmu.h | 6 +- arch/x86/kvm/mmu/mmu.c | 15 +- arch/x86/kvm/mmu/spte.c | 2 +- arch/x86/kvm/pmu.c | 2 +- arch/x86/kvm/svm/svm.c | 20 +-- arch/x86/kvm/trace.h | 4 +- arch/x86/kvm/vmx/nested.c | 2 +- arch/x86/kvm/vmx/vmx.c | 30 ++-- arch/x86/kvm/vmx/vmx.h | 2 +- arch/x86/kvm/x86.c | 307 +++++++++++++++++++------------------ arch/x86/kvm/x86.h | 6 +- 18 files changed, 369 insertions(+), 224 deletions(-) create mode 100644 arch/x86/include/asm/kvm-x86-ops.h -- 2.7.4
