Subject[PATCH] arm64: save movk instructions in mov_q when the lower 16|32 bits are all zero
Date
Currently mov_q is used to move a constant into a 64-bit register,
when the lower 16 or 32bits of the constant are all zero, the mov_q
emits one or two useless movk instructions. If the mov_q macro is used
in hot code path, we want to save the movk instructions as much as
possible. For example, when CONFIG_ARM64_MTE is 'Y' and
CONFIG_KASAN_HW_TAGS is 'N', the following code in __cpu_setup()
routine is the pontential optimization target:

/* set the TCR_EL1 bits */
mov_q x10, TCR_MTE_FLAGS

Before the patch:
mov x10, #0x10000000000000
movk x10, #0x40, lsl #32
movk x10, #0x0, lsl #16
movk x10, #0x0

After the patch:
mov x10, #0x10000000000000
movk x10, #0x40, lsl #32
