4 Subject: x86/entry/64: Get rid of the ALLOC_PT_GPREGS_ON_STACK and SAVE_AND_CLEAR_REGS macros
6 From: Dominik Brodowski <linux@dominikbrodowski.net>
8 commit dde3036d62ba3375840b10ab9ec0d568fd773b07 upstream.
10 Previously, error_entry() and paranoid_entry() saved the GP registers
11 onto stack space previously allocated by its callers. Combine these two
12 steps in the callers, and use the generic PUSH_AND_CLEAR_REGS macro
15 This adds a significant amount ot text size. However, Ingo Molnar points
18 "these numbers also _very_ significantly over-represent the
19 extra footprint. The assumptions that resulted in
20 us compressing the IRQ entry code have changed very
21 significantly with the new x86 IRQ allocation code we
22 introduced in the last year:
24 - IRQ vectors are usually populated in tightly clustered
27 With our new vector allocator code the typical per CPU
28 allocation percentage on x86 systems is ~3 device vectors
29 and ~10 fixed vectors out of ~220 vectors - i.e. a very
30 low ~6% utilization (!). [...]
32 The days where we allocated a lot of vectors on every
33 CPU and the compression of the IRQ entry code text
36 - Another issue is that only a small minority of vectors
37 is frequent enough to actually matter to cache utilization
38 in practice: 3-4 key IPIs and 1-2 device IRQs at most - and
39 those vectors tend to be tightly clustered as well into about
40 two groups, and are probably already on 2-3 cache lines in
43 For the common case of 'cache cold' IRQs it's the depth of
44 the call chain and the fragmentation of the resulting I$
45 that should be the main performance limit - not the overall
48 - The CPU side cost of IRQ delivery is still very expensive
49 even in the best, most cached case, as in 'over a thousand
50 cycles'. So much stuff is done that maybe contemporary x86
51 IRQ entry microcode already prefetches the IDT entry and its
52 expected call target address."[*]

56 The "testb $3, CS(%rsp)" instruction in the idtentry macro does not need
57 modification. Previously, %rsp was manually decreased by 15*8; with
58 this patch, %rsp is decreased by 15 pushq instructions.
