Eric Dumazet 29f3490ba9 net: use indirect call wrappers for skb_copy_datagram_iter()
TCP recvmsg() calls skb_copy_datagram_iter(), which
calls an indirect function (cb pointing to simple_copy_to_iter())
for every MSS (fragment) present in the skb.

CONFIG_RETPOLINE=y forces a very expensive operation
that we can avoid thanks to indirect call wrappers.

This patch gives a 13% increase of performance on
a single flow, if the bottleneck is the thread reading
the TCP socket.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
