commit 872df34d7c51a79523820ea6a14860398c639b87 upstream.
ITS mitigation moves the unsafe indirect branches to a safe thunk. This could degrade the prediction accuracy as the source address of indirect branches becomes same for different execution paths.
To improve the predictions, and hence the performance, assign a separate thunk for each indirect callsite. This is also a defense-in-depth measure to avoid indirect branches aliasing with each other.
As an example, 5000 dynamic thunks would utilize around 16 bits of the address space, thereby gaining entropy. For a BTB that uses 32 bits for indexing, dynamic thunks could provide better prediction accuracy over fixed thunks.
Have ITS thunks be variable sized and use EXECMEM_MODULE_TEXT such that they are both more flexible (got to extend them later) and live in 2M TLBs, just like kernel code, avoiding undue TLB pressure.
[ pawan: CONFIG_EXECMEM and CONFIG_EXECMEM_ROX are not supported on backport kernel, made changes to use module_alloc() and set_memory_*() for dynamic thunks. ]
