From 0eb089a72fda3f7969e6277804bde75dc1474a14 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Christophe Leroy Date: Mon, 5 Jun 2023 10:55:26 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] powerpc/interrupt: Don't read MSR from interrupt_exit_kernel_prepare() A disassembly of interrupt_exit_kernel_prepare() shows a useless read of MSR register. This is shown by r9 being re-used immediately without doing anything with the value read. c000e0e0: 60 00 00 00 nop c000e0e4: 7d 3a c2 a6 mfmd_ap r9 c000e0e8: 7d 20 00 a6 mfmsr r9 c000e0ec: 7c 51 13 a6 mtspr 81,r2 c000e0f0: 81 3f 00 84 lwz r9,132(r31) c000e0f4: 71 29 80 00 andi. r9,r9,32768 This is due to the use of local_irq_save(). The flags read by local_irq_save() are never used, use local_irq_disable() instead.
