x86/asm/64: Open-code register save/restore in trace_hardirqs*() thunks
This is a preparatory patch for change in "struct pt_regs"
handling in entry_64.S.
trace_hardirqs*() thunks were (ab)using a part of the
'pt_regs' handling code, namely the SAVE_ARGS/RESTORE_ARGS
macros, to save/restore registers across C function calls.
Since SAVE_ARGS is going to be changed, open-code
register saving/restoring here.
Incidentally, this removes a bit of dead code:
one SAVE_ARGS was used just to emit a CFI annotation,
but it also generated unreachable assembly instructions.
Take a page from thunk_32.S and use push/pop instructions
instead of movq, they are far shorter:
1 or 2 bytes versus 5, and no need for instructions to adjust %rsp:
text data bss dec hex filename
333 40 0 373 175 thunk_64_movq.o
104 40 0 144 90 thunk_64_push_pop.o
[ This is ugly as sin, but we'll fix up the ugliness in the next
patch. I see no point in reordering patches just to avoid an
ugly intermediate state. --Andy ]
