The setup_smep function gets calle at resume time too, and is thus not a

the kernel has initialized, and when the kernel is suspended and
resumed, the code will no longer be around, and we'll get a nice "kernel

Give up on pushing CC_OPTIMIZE_FOR_SIZE
I still happen to believe that I$ miss costs are a major thing, but
sadly, -Os doesn't seem to be the solution. With or without it, gcc
will miss some obvious code size improvements, and with it enabled gcc
will sometimes make choices that aren't good even with high I$ miss
ratios.
For example, with -Os, gcc on x86 will turn a 20-byte constant memcpy
into a "rep movsl". While I sincerely hope that x86 CPU's will some day
do a good job at that, they certainly don't do it yet, and the cost is
higher than a L1 I$ miss would be.

KVM: make guest mode entry to be rcu quiescent state
KVM does not hold any references to rcu protected data when it switches

to exiting to userspase from rcu point of view. In addition CPU may stay
in a guest mode for quite a long time (up to one time slice). Lets treat
guest mode as quiescent state, just like we do with user-mode execution.
