powerpc/inst: Optimise copy_inst_from_kernel_nofault()
copy_inst_from_kernel_nofault() uses copy_from_kernel_nofault() to copy one or two 32bits words. This means calling an out-of-line function which itself calls back copy_from_kernel_nofault_allowed() then performs a generic copy with loops. Rewrite copy_inst_from_kernel_nofault() to do everything at a single place and use __get_kernel_nofault() directly to perform single accesses without loops. Allthough the generic function uses pagefault_disable(), it is not required on powerpc because do_page_fault() bails earlier when a kernel mode fault happens on a kernel address. As the function has now become very small, inline it. With this change, on an 8xx the time spent in the loop in ftrace_replace_code() is reduced by 23% at function tracer activation and 27% at nop tracer activation. The overall time to activate function tracer (measured with shell command 'time') is 570ms before the patch and 470ms after the patch. Even vmlinux size is reduced (by 152 instruction).

powerpc/inst: Define ppc_inst_t
In order to stop using 'struct ppc_inst' on PPC32, define a ppc_inst_t typedef.

powerpc: Don't use 'struct ppc_inst' to reference instruction location
'struct ppc_inst' is an internal representation of an instruction, but in-memory instructions are and will remain a table of 'u32' forever. Replace all 'struct ppc_inst *' used for locating an instruction in memory by 'u32 *'. This removes a lot of undue casts to 'struct ppc_inst *'. It also helps locating ab-use of 'struct ppc_inst' dereference.

powerpc: Move copy_inst_from_kernel_nofault()
When probe_kernel_read_inst() was created, there was no good place to put it, so a file called lib/inst.c was dedicated for it. Since then, probe_kernel_read_inst() has been renamed copy_inst_from_kernel_nofault(). And mm/maccess.h didn't exist at that time. Today, mm/maccess.h is related to copy_from_kernel_nofault(). Move copy_inst_from_kernel_nofault() into mm/maccess.c Signed-off-by: Christophe Leroy <christophe.leroy@csgroup.eu> Signed-off-by: Michael Ellerman <mpe@ellerman.id.au> Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/9655d8957313906b77b8db5700a0e33ce06f45e5.1618405715.git.christophe.leroy@csgroup.eu |
