When I'm able to get it to work! Hopefully that last patch snippet you
posted will help. If not, I'm assuming you'll be in Vancouver this
week, and we could sit down and work it out.
That said, I don't expect a 100% improvement. Because the retpoline
causes slow down in other areas than just tracing, which is not being
fixed by this. I'm expecting a substantial improvement (which I see
good improvement with the unoptimized static calls), and hoping for
much more with the optimized one (when I get it working). But not 100%,
as stated above.
