Florian Westphal d9e7891476 netfilter: nf_tables: avoid retpoline overhead for some ct expression calls
nft_ct expression cannot be made builtin to nf_tables without also
forcing the conntrack itself to be builtin.

However, this can be avoided by splitting retrieval of a few
selector keys that only need to access the nf_conn structure,
i.e. no function calls to nf_conntrack code.

Many rulesets start with something like
"ct status established,related accept"

With this change, this no longer requires an indirect call, which
gives about 1.8% more throughput with a simple conntrack-enabled
forwarding test (retpoline thunk used).

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.
