KVM: x86/mmu: Make HVA handler retpoline-friendly
When retpolines are enabled they have high overhead in the inner loop inside kvm_handle_hva_range() that iterates over the provided memory area. Let's mark this function and its TDP MMU equivalent __always_inline so compiler will be able to change the call to the actual handler function inside each of them into a direct one. This significantly improves performance on the unmap test on the existing kernel memslot code (tested on a Xeon 8167M machine): 30 slots in use: Test Before After Improvement Unmap 0.0353s 0.0334s 5% Unmap 2M 0.00104s 0.000407s 61% 509 slots in use: Test Before After Improvement Unmap 0.0742s 0.0740s None Unmap 2M 0.00221s 0.00159s 28% Looks like having an indirect call in these functions (and, so, a retpoline) might have interfered with unrolling of the whole loop in the CPU.
