commit f2cc8e0791c70833758101d9756609a08dd601ec upstream
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
