[PATCH 0/2] KVM: VMX: Stub out enable_evmcs static key

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Stub out the enable_evmcs static key for CONFIG_HYPERV=n.  gcc (as of
gcc-12) isn't clever enough to elide the nop placeholder when there's no
code guarded by a static branch.  With gcc-12, because of the vast number
of VMCS accesses, eliminating the nops reduces the size of kvm-intel.ko by
~7.5% (200KiB).

Patch 1 is tangentially related cleanup.

Applies on `git@xxxxxxxxxx:kvm-x86/linux.git vmx`.
