powerpc: Use static call for get_irq()
__do_irq() inconditionnaly calls ppc_md.get_irq() That's definitely a hot path. At the time being ppc_md.get_irq address is read every time from ppc_md structure. Replace that call by a static call, and initialise that call after ppc_md.init_IRQ() has set ppc_md.get_irq. Emit a warning and don't set the static call if ppc_md.init_IRQ() is still NULL, that way the kernel won't blow up if for some reason ppc_md.get_irq() doesn't get properly set. With the patch: 00000000 <__SCT__ppc_get_irq>: 0: 48 00 00 20 b 20 <__static_call_return0> <== Replaced by 'b <ppc_md.get_irq>' at runtime ... 00000020 <__static_call_return0>: 20: 38 60 00 00 li r3,0 24: 4e 80 00 20 blr ... 00000058 <__do_irq>: ... 64: 48 00 00 01 bl 64 <__do_irq+0xc> 64: R_PPC_REL24 __SCT__ppc_get_irq 68: 2c 03 00 00 cmpwi r3,0 ... Before the patch: 00000038 <__do_irq>: ... 3c: 3d 20 00 00 lis r9,0 3e: R_PPC_ADDR16_HA ppc_md+0x1c ... 44: 81 29 00 00 lwz r9,0(r9) 46: R_PPC_ADDR16_LO ppc_md+0x1c ... 4c: 7d 29 03 a6 mtctr r9 50: 4e 80 04 21 bctrl 54: 2c 03 00 00 cmpwi r3,0 ... On PPC64 which doesn't implement static calls yet we get: 00000000000000d0 <__do_irq>: ... dc: 00 00 22 3d addis r9,r2,0 dc: R_PPC64_TOC16_HA .data+0x8 ... e4: 00 00 89 e9 ld r12,0(r9) e4: R_PPC64_TOC16_LO_DS .data+0x8 ... f0: a6 03 89 7d mtctr r12 f4: 18 00 41 f8 std r2,24(r1) f8: 21 04 80 4e bctrl fc: 18 00 41 e8 ld r2,24(r1) ... So on PPC64 that's similar to what we get without static calls. But at least until ppc_md.get_irq() is set the call is to __static_call_return0.
