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 ] Signed-off-by: Denys Vlasenko <[email protected]> Signed-off-by: Andy Lutomirski <[email protected]> Cc: Alexei Starovoitov <[email protected]> Cc: Borislav Petkov <[email protected]> Cc: Frederic Weisbecker <[email protected]> Cc: H.
