[patch V2 5/5] x86/kaiser: Add boottime disable switch

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

 



KAISER comes with overhead. The most expensive part is the CR3 switching in
the entry code.

Add a command line parameter which allows to disable KAISER at boot time.

Most code pathes simply check a variable, but the entry code uses a static
branch. The other code pathes cannot use a static branch because they are
used before jump label patching is possible. Not an issue as the code
pathes are not so performance sensitive as the entry/exit code.

This makes KAISER depend on JUMP_LABEL and on a GCC which supports
it, but that's a resonable requirement.

The PGD allocation is still 8k when CONFIG_KAISER is enabled. This can be
addressed on top of this.
