powerpc/64/syscall: Remove non-volatile GPR save optimisation
powerpc has an optimisation where interrupts avoid saving the
non-volatile (or callee saved) registers to the interrupt stack frame
if they are not required.
Two problems with this are that an interrupt does not always know
whether it will need non-volatiles; and if it does need them, they can
only be saved from the entry-scoped asm code (because we don't control
what the C compiler does with these registers).
system calls are the most difficult: some system calls always require
all registers (e.g., fork, to copy regs into the child). Sometimes
registers are only required under certain conditions (e.g., tracing,
signal delivery). These cases require ugly logic in the call
chains (e.g., ppc_fork), and require a lot of logic to be implemented
in asm.
So remove the optimisation for system calls, and always save NVGPRs on
entry. Modern high performance CPUs are not so sensitive, because the
stores are dense in cache and can be hidden by other expensive work in
the syscall path -- the null syscall selftests benchmark on POWER9 is
not slowed (124.40ns before and 123.64ns after, i.e., within the
noise).
Other interrupts retain the NVGPR optimisation for now.
