In the current code, when the thread wakes up in reset vector, some
of the state restore code and check for whether a thread needs to
branch to kvm is duplicated. Reorder the code such that this
duplication is avoided.
At a higher level this is what the change looks like-
Before this patch -
power7_wakeup_tb_loss:
restore hypervisor state
if (thread needed by kvm)
goto kvm_start_guest
restore nvgprs, cr, pc
rfid to process context
power7_wakeup_loss:
restore nvgprs, cr, pc
rfid to process context
reset vector:
if (waking from deep idle states)
goto power7_wakeup_tb_loss
else
if (thread needed by kvm)
goto kvm_start_guest
goto power7_wakeup_loss
After this patch -
power7_wakeup_tb_loss:
restore hypervisor state
return
power7_restore_hyp_resource():
if (waking from deep idle states)
goto power7_wakeup_tb_loss
return
power7_wakeup_loss:
restore nvgprs, cr, pc
rfid to process context
reset vector:
power7_restore_hyp_resource()
if (thread needed by kvm)
goto kvm_start_guest
goto power7_wakeup_loss
