Subject: [PATCH v4 10/13] x86/mm: Simplify clear_page_*
Date: Sun, 15 Jun 2025 22:22:20 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250616052223.723982-11-ankur.a.arora@oracle.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20250616052223.723982-1-ankur.a.arora@oracle.com>
clear_page_rep() and clear_page_erms() are wrappers around "REP; STOS"
variations. Inlining gets rid of the costly call/ret (for cases with
speculative execution related mitigations.)
Also, fixup and rename clear_page_orig() to adapt to the changed calling
convention.
