sparc64: access tick function from variable
In timer_64.c tick functions are access via pointer (tick_ops), every time
clock is read, there is one extra load to get to the function.
This patch optimizes it, by accessing functions pointer from value.
Current ched_clock():
sethi %hi(0xb9b400), %g1
ldx [ %g1 + 0x250 ], %g1 ! <tick_ops>
ldx [ %g1 ], %g1
call %g1
nop
sethi %hi(0xb9b400), %g1
ldx [ %g1 + 0x300 ], %g1 ! <timer_ticks_per_nsec_quotient>
mulx %o0, %g1, %g1
rett %i7 + 8
srlx %g1, 0xa, %o0
New sched_clock():
sethi %hi(0xb9b400), %g1
ldx [ %g1 + 0x340 ], %g1
call %g1
nop
sethi %hi(0xb9b400), %g1
ldx [ %g1 + 0x378 ], %g1
mulx %o0, %g1, %g1
rett %i7 + 8
srlx %g1, 0xa, %o0
Before three loads, now two loads.
