KVM: retpolines: x86: eliminate retpoline from svm.c exit handlers
It's enough to check the exit value and issue a direct call to avoid the retpoline for all the common vmexit reasons. After this commit is applied, here the most common retpolines executed under a high resolution timer workload in the guest on a SVM host: [..] @[ trace_retpoline+1 __trace_retpoline+30 __x86_indirect_thunk_rax+33 ktime_get_update_offsets_now+70 hrtimer_interrupt+131 smp_apic_timer_interrupt+106 apic_timer_interrupt+15 start_sw_timer+359 restart_apic_timer+85 kvm_set_msr_common+1497 msr_interception+142 vcpu_enter_guest+684 kvm_arch_vcpu_ioctl_run+261 kvm_vcpu_ioctl+559 do_vfs_ioctl+164 ksys_ioctl+96 __x64_sys_ioctl+22 do_syscall_64+89 entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+68 ]: 1940 @[ trace_retpoline+1 __trace_retpoline+30 __x86_indirect_thunk_r12+33 force_qs_rnp+217 rcu_gp_kthread+1270 kthread+268 ret_from_fork+34 ]: 4644 @[]: 25095 @[ trace_retpoline+1 __trace_retpoline+30 __x86_indirect_thunk_rax+33 lapic_next_event+28 clockevents_program_event+148 hrtimer_start_range_ns+528 start_sw_timer+356 restart_apic_timer+85 kvm_set_msr_common+1497 msr_interception+142 vcpu_enter_guest+684 kvm_arch_vcpu_ioctl_run+261 kvm_vcpu_ioctl+559 do_vfs_ioctl+164 ksys_ioctl+96 __x64_sys_ioctl+22 do_syscall_64+89 entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+68 ]: 41474 @[ trace_retpoline+1 __trace_retpoline+30 __x86_indirect_thunk_rax+33 clockevents_program_event+148 hrtimer_start_range_ns+528 start_sw_timer+356 restart_apic_timer+85 kvm_set_msr_common+1497 msr_interception+142 vcpu_enter_guest+684 kvm_arch_vcpu_ioctl_run+261 kvm_vcpu_ioctl+559 do_vfs_ioctl+164 ksys_ioctl+96 __x64_sys_ioctl+22 do_syscall_64+89 entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+68 ]: 41474 @[ trace_retpoline+1 __trace_retpoline+30 __x86_indirect_thunk_rax+33 ktime_get+58 clockevents_program_event+84 hrtimer_start_range_ns+528 start_sw_timer+356 restart_apic_timer+85 kvm_set_msr_common+1497 msr_interception+142 vcpu_enter_guest+684 kvm_arch_vcpu_ioctl_run+261 kvm_vcpu_ioctl+559 do_vfs_ioctl+164 ksys_ioctl+96 __x64_sys_ioctl+22 do_syscall_64+89 entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+68 ]: 41887 @[ trace_retpoline+1 __trace_retpoline+30 __x86_indirect_thunk_rax+33 lapic_next_event+28 clockevents_program_event+148 hrtimer_try_to_cancel+168 hrtimer_cancel+21 kvm_set_lapic_tscdeadline_msr+43 kvm_set_msr_common+1497 msr_interception+142 vcpu_enter_guest+684 kvm_arch_vcpu_ioctl_run+261 kvm_vcpu_ioctl+559 do_vfs_ioctl+164 ksys_ioctl+96 __x64_sys_ioctl+22 do_syscall_64+89 entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+68 ]: 42723 @[ trace_retpoline+1 __trace_retpoline+30 __x86_indirect_thunk_rax+33 clockevents_program_event+148 hrtimer_try_to_cancel+168 hrtimer_cancel+21 kvm_set_lapic_tscdeadline_msr+43 kvm_set_msr_common+1497 msr_interception+142 vcpu_enter_guest+684 kvm_arch_vcpu_ioctl_run+261 kvm_vcpu_ioctl+559 do_vfs_ioctl+164 ksys_ioctl+96 __x64_sys_ioctl+22 do_syscall_64+89 entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+68 ]: 42766 @[ trace_retpoline+1 __trace_retpoline+30 __x86_indirect_thunk_rax+33 ktime_get+58 clockevents_program_event+84 hrtimer_try_to_cancel+168 hrtimer_cancel+21 kvm_set_lapic_tscdeadline_msr+43 kvm_set_msr_common+1497 msr_interception+142 vcpu_enter_guest+684 kvm_arch_vcpu_ioctl_run+261 kvm_vcpu_ioctl+559 do_vfs_ioctl+164 ksys_ioctl+96 __x64_sys_ioctl+22 do_syscall_64+89 entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+68 ]: 42848 @[ trace_retpoline+1 __trace_retpoline+30 __x86_indirect_thunk_rax+33 ktime_get+58 start_sw_timer+279 restart_apic_timer+85 kvm_set_msr_common+1497 msr_interception+142 vcpu_enter_guest+684 kvm_arch_vcpu_ioctl_run+261 kvm_vcpu_ioctl+559 do_vfs_ioctl+164 ksys_ioctl+96 __x64_sys_ioctl+22 do_syscall_64+89 entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+68 ]: 499845 @total: 1780243 SVM has no TSC based programmable preemption timer so it is invoking ktime_get() frequently.
