    x86/speculation: Avoid __switch_to_xtra() calls · 1cca4d26
    Thomas Gleixner authored
    commit 5635d999 upstream.
    
    The TIF_SPEC_IB bit does not need to be evaluated in the decision to invoke
    __switch_to_xtra() when:
    
     - CONFIG_SMP is disabled
    
     - The conditional STIPB mode is disabled
    
    The TIF_SPEC_IB bit still controls IBPB in both cases so the TIF work mask
    checks might invoke __switch_to_xtra() for nothing if TIF_SPEC_IB is the
    only set bit in the work masks.
    
    Optimize it out by masking the bit at compile time for CONFIG_SMP=n and at
    run time when the static key controlling the conditional STIBP mode is
    disabled.
