powerpc/code-patching: Remove protection against patching init addresses after init

2022-12-02T10:59:57+00:00

Once init section is freed, attempting to patch init code ends up in the weed. Commit 51c3c62b58b3 ("powerpc: Avoid code patching freed init sections") protected patch_instruction() against that, but it is the responsibility of the caller to ensure that the patched memory is valid. All callers have now been verified and fixed so the check can be removed. This improves ftrace activation by about 2% on 8xx.

powerpc/code-patching: Inline create_branch()

2022-05-19T13:11:28+00:00

create_branch() is a good candidate for inlining because: - Flags can be folded in. - Range tests are likely to be already done. Hence reducing the create_branch() to only a set of instructions. So inline it. It improves ftrace activation by 10%.

powerpc/code-patching: Inline is_offset_in_{cond}_branch_range()

Test in is_offset_in_branch_range() and is_offset_in_cond_branch_range() are simple tests that are worth inlining. Signed-off-by: Christophe Leroy Signed-off-by: Michael Ellerman Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/a05be0ccb7373e6a9789a1988fcd0c810f5f9269.1652074503.git.christophe.leroy@csgroup.eu

powerpc/code-patching: Use jump_label for testing freed initmem

2022-05-11T13:06:39+00:00

Once init is done, initmem is freed forever so no need to test system_state at every call to patch_instruction(). Use jump_label. This reduces by 2% the time needed to activate ftrace on an 8xx.

powerpc: Move and rename func_descr_t

2022-02-16T12:25:10+00:00

There are three architectures with function descriptors, try to have common names for the address they contain in order to refactor some functions into generic functions later. powerpc has 'entry' ia64 has 'ip' parisc has 'addr' Vote for 'addr' and update 'func_descr_t' accordingly. Move it in asm/elf.h to have it at the same place on all three architectures, remove the typedef which hides its real type, and change it to a smoother name 'struct func_desc'.
