From 0a80e66a10af2b74c68739927201f4d5aebc467f Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Christophe Leroy Date: Mon, 23 Aug 2021 15:29:12 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] powerpc/32: Don't use lmw/stmw for saving/restoring non volatile regs [ Upstream commit a85c728cb5e12216c19ae5878980c2cbbbf8616d ] Instructions lmw/stmw are interesting for functions that are rarely used and not in the cache, because only one instruction is to be copied into the instruction cache instead of 19. However those instruction are less performant than 19x raw lwz/stw as they require synchronisation plus one additional cycle. SAVE_NVGPRS / REST_NVGPRS are used in only a few places which are mostly in interrupts entries/exits and in task switch so they are likely already in the cache. Using standard lwz improves null_syscall selftest by: - 10 cycles on mpc832x. - 2 cycles on mpc8xx.
