From 5b6ccc6c3b1a477fbac9ec97a0b4c1c48e765209 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Nicolai Stange Date: Sat, 21 Jul 2018 22:35:28 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] x86/KVM/VMX: Move the l1tf_flush_l1d test to vmx_l1d_flush() Currently, vmx_vcpu_run() checks if l1tf_flush_l1d is set and invokes vmx_l1d_flush() if so. This test is unncessary for the "always flush L1D" mode. Move the check to vmx_l1d_flush()'s conditional mode code path. Notes: - vmx_l1d_flush() is likely to get inlined anyway and thus, there's no extra function call. - This inverts the (static) branch prediction, but there hadn't been any explicit likely()/unlikely() annotations before and so it stays as is.
