David S. Miller eea9e3a40d Merge branch 'net-mlx5-use-indirect-call-wrappers'
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)

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
