Paolo Abeni says:
====================
net/mlx5: use indirect call wrappers
The mlx5_core driver uses several indirect calls in fast-path, some of them
are invoked on each ingress packet, even for the XDP-only traffic.
This series leverage the indirect call wrappers infrastructure the avoid
the expansive RETPOLINE overhead for 2 indirect calls in fast-path.
Each call is addressed on a different patch, plus we need to introduce a couple
of additional helpers to cope with the higher number of possible direct-call
alternatives.
v2 -> v3:
- do not add more INDIRECT_CALL_* macros
- use only the direct calls always available regardless of
the mlx5 build options in the last patch
v1 -> v2:
- update the direct call list and use a macro to define it,
as per Saeed suggestion. An intermediated additional
macro is needed to allow arg list expansion
- patch 2/3 is unchanged, as the generated code looks better this way than
with possible alternative (dropping BP hits)
