This is a followup to [0]: [PATCH] bpf: don't rely on GCC __attribute__((optimize)) to disable GCSE[0]
Changes since v1: - only use -fno-gcse when CONFIG_BPF_JIT_ALWAYS_ON=y and CONFIG_CC_IS_GCC=y (but ignore CONFIG_RETPOLINE since we want to avoid GCSE in all cases) - to avoid potential impact of disabling GCSE on other code, put the interpreter in a separate file (patch #2) Note that patch #1 is intended for backporting, as function scope GCC optimization attributes are really quite broken. I don't have a strong opinion on whether the interpreter code should be split off or not, but it looks like it can be done fairly painlessly, so it is probably a good idea to do it anyway.
