Most of the time, calls to get_guest_pgd result in calling
kvm_read_cr3 (the exception is only nested TDP).  Hardcode
the default instead of using the get_cr3 function, avoiding
a retpoline if they are enabled.

I'd prefer to do what we do for page faults.  That approach avoids the need for a
comment to document NULL and avoids a conditional when RETPOLINE is not enabled.

Might be worth renaming get_cr3 => get_guest_cr3 though.

I did it this way to avoid a slightly gratuitous extern function just because kvm_mmu_get_guest_pgd and kvm_read_cr3 are both inline. But at least it's not an export since there are no callers in vmx/svm, so it's okay to do it as you suggested.

#ifdef CONFIG_RETPOLINE
	if (mmu->get_guest_pgd = get_guest_cr3)
		return kvm_read_cr3(vcpu);
#endif
	return mmu->get_guest_pgd(vcpu);


+	if (!mmu->get_guest_pgd)
+		return kvm_read_cr3(vcpu);
+	else
+		return mmu->get_guest_pgd(vcpu);
+}
+
+static inline gpa_t kvm_mmu_get_guest_pgd(struct kvm_vcpu *vcpu)
+{
+	return __kvm_mmu_get_guest_pgd(vcpu, vcpu->arch.mmu);

I'd much prefer we don't provide an @vcpu-only variant and force the caller to
provide the mmu.

No problem.

Paolo
