static_call: Add inline static call infrastructure Add infrastructure for an arch-specific CONFIG_HAVE_STATIC_CALL_INLINE option, which is a faster version of CONFIG_HAVE_STATIC_CALL. At runtime, the static call sites are patched directly, rather than using the out-of-line trampolines. Compared to out-of-line static calls, the performance benefits are more modest, but still measurable. Steven Rostedt did some tracepoint measurements: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20181126155405.72b4f718@gandalf.local.home This code is heavily inspired by the jump label code (aka "static jumps"), as some of the concepts are very similar. For more details, see the comments in include/linux/static_call.h.

static_call/x86: Add __static_call_return0() Provide a stub function that return 0 and wire up the static call site patching to replace the CALL with a single 5 byte instruction that clears %RAX, the return value register. The function can be cast to any function pointer type that has a single %RAX return (including pointers). Also provide a version that returns an int for convenience. We are clearing the entire %RAX register in any case, whether the return value is 32 or 64 bits, since %RAX is always a scratch register anyway.

KVM: x86: allow defining return-0 static calls A few vendor callbacks are only used by VMX, but they return an integer or bool value. Introduce KVM_X86_OP_OPTIONAL_RET0 for them: if a func is NULL in struct kvm_x86_ops, it will be changed to __static_call_return0 when updating static calls.
