We currently do some magic shifting (by exploiting that exit codes are always a multiple of 4) and a table lookup to jump into the exit handlers. This causes some calculations and checks, just to do an potentially expensive function call. Changing that to a switch statement gives the compiler the chance to inline and dynamically decide between jump tables or inline compare and branches. In addition it makes the code more readable. bloat-o-meter gives me a small reduction in code size: add/remove: 0/7 grow/shrink: 1/1 up/down: 986/-1334 (-348) function old new delta kvm_handle_sie_intercept 72 1058 +986 handle_prog 704 696 -8 handle_noop 54 - -54 handle_partial_execution 60 - -60 intercept_funcs 120 - -120 handle_instruction 198 - -198 handle_validity 210 - -210 handle_stop 316 - -316 handle_external_interrupt 368 - -368 Right now my gcc does conditional branches instead of jump tables. The inlining seems to give us enough cycles as some micro-benchmarking shows minimal improvements, but still in noise.
