Subject[PATCH v2 1/3] powerpc: Remove MSR_PR check in interrupt_exit_{user/kernel}_prepare()
Date
In those hot functions that are called at every interrupt, any saved
cycle is worth it.

interrupt_exit_user_prepare() and interrupt_exit_kernel_prepare() are
called from three places:
- From entry_32.S
- From interrupt_64.S
- From interrupt_exit_user_restart() and interrupt_exit_kernel_restart()

In entry_32.S, there are inambiguously called based on MSR_PR:

interrupt_return:
lwz r4,_MSR(r1)
addi r3,r1,STACK_FRAME_OVERHEAD
andi. r0,r4,MSR_PR
beq .Lkernel_interrupt_return
bl interrupt_exit_user_prepare
...
.Lkernel_interrupt_return:
bl interrupt_exit_kernel_prepare

In interrupt_64.S, that's similar:

interrupt_return_\srr\():
ld r4,_MSR(r1)
andi. r0,r4,MSR_PR
beq interrupt_return_\srr\()_kernel
interrupt_return_\srr\()_user: /* make backtraces match the _kernel variant */
addi r3,r1,STACK_FRAME_OVERHEAD
bl interrupt_exit_user_prepare
...
interrupt_return_\srr\()_kernel:
addi r3,r1,STACK_FRAME_OVERHEAD
bl interrupt_exit_kernel_prepare

In interrupt_exit_user_restart() and interrupt_exit_kernel_restart(),
MSR_PR is verified respectively by BUG_ON(!user_mode(regs)) and
BUG_ON(user_mode(regs)) prior to calling interrupt_exit_user_prepare()
and interrupt_exit_kernel_prepare().

The verification in interrupt_exit_user_prepare() and
interrupt_exit_kernel_prepare() are therefore useless and can be removed.
