2018-12-17	net: unbreak CONFIG_RETPOLINE=n builds	Paolo Abeni	1	-2/+2
	The kbuild bot reported a build breakage with CONFIG_RETPOLINE=n due to commit aaa5d90b395a ("net: use indirect call wrappers at GRO network layer"). I screwed the wrapper implementation for such config. Fix the issue properly ignoring the builtin symbols arguments, when retpoline is not enabled.

2018-12-15	indirect call wrappers: helpers to speed-up indirect calls of builtin	Paolo Abeni	1	-0/+51
	This header define a bunch of helpers that allow avoiding the retpoline overhead when calling builtin functions via function pointers. It boils down to explicitly comparing the function pointers to known builtin functions and eventually invoke directly the latter. The macros defined here implement the boilerplate for the above schema and will be used by the next patches. rfc -> v1: - use branch prediction hint, as suggested by Eric v1 -> v2: - list explicitly the builtin function names in INDIRECT_CALL_*(), as suggested by Ed Cree Suggested-by: Eric Dumazet <edumazet@google.com> Signed-off-by: Paolo Abeni <pabeni@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: David S.
