We've observed a 7-12% performance regression in iperf3 UDP ipv4 and
ipv6 tests with multiple sockets on Zen3 cpus, which we traced back to
commit f0ea27e7bf ("udp: re-score reuseport groups when connected
sockets are present"). The failing tests were those that would spawn
UDP sockets per-cpu on systems that have a high number of cpus.
Unsurprisingly, it is not caused by the extra re-scoring of the reused
socket, but due to the compiler no longer inlining compute_score, once
it has the extra call site in udp4_lib_lookup2. This is augmented by
the "Safe RET" mitigation for SRSO, needed in our Zen3 cpus.
We could just explicitly inline it, but compute_score() is quite a large
function, around 300b. Inlining in two sites would almost double
udp4_lib_lookup2, which is a silly thing to do just to workaround a
mitigation. Instead, this patch shuffles the code a bit to avoid the
multiple calls to compute_score. Since it is a static function used in
one spot, the compiler can safely fold it in, as it did before, without
increasing the text size.
With this patch applied I ran my original iperf3 testcases. The failing
cases all looked like this (ipv4):
iperf3 -c 127.0.0.1 --udp -4 -f K -b $R -l 8920 -t 30 -i 5 -P 64 -O 2
where $R is either 1G/10G/0 (max, unlimited). I ran 3 times each.
baseline is v6.9-rc3. harmean == harmonic mean; CV == coefficient of
variation.

This restores the performance we had before the change above with this
benchmark. We obviously don't expect any real impact when mitigations
are disabled, but just to be sure it also doesn't regresses:
