From: David Woodhouse dwmw@amazon.co.uk Date: Mon, 19 Feb 2018 10:50:56 +0000 Subject: Revert "x86/retpoline: Simplify vmexit_fill_RSB()"
From: David Woodhouse dwmw@amazon.co.uk
commit d1c99108af3c5992640aa2afa7d2e88c3775c06e upstream.
This reverts commit 1dde7415e99933bb7293d6b2843752cbdb43ec11. By putting the RSB filling out of line and calling it, we waste one RSB slot for returning from the function itself, which means one fewer actual function call we can make if we're doing the Skylake abomination of call-depth counting.
It also changed the number of RSB stuffings we do on vmexit from 32, which was correct, to 16. Let's just stop with the bikeshedding; it didn't actually *fix* anything anyway.
