From: Borislav Petkov <b...@suse.de>
When gcc cannot do constant folding for this macro, it falls back to
cpu_has(). But static_cpu_has() is optimal and it works at all times
now. So use it and speedup the fallback case.
Before we had this:
mov 0x99d674(%rip),%rdx # ffffffff81b0d9f4 <boot_cpu_data+0x34>
shr $0x2e,%rdx
and $0x1,%edx
jne ffffffff811704e9 <do_munmap+0x3f9>
After alternatives patching, it turns into:
jmp 0xffffffff81170390
nopl (%rax)
...
callq ffffffff81056e00 <mpx_notify_unmap>
ffffffff81170390: mov 0x170(%r12),%rdi
