    powerpc/bpf: Reallocate BPF registers to volatile registers when possible on PPC32 · 40272035
    Christophe Leroy authored
    When the BPF routine doesn't call any function, the non volatile
    registers can be reallocated to volatile registers in order to
    avoid having to save them/restore on the stack.
    
    Before this patch, the test #359 ADD default X is:
    
       0:	7c 64 1b 78 	mr      r4,r3
       4:	38 60 00 00 	li      r3,0

      1c:	93 41 00 38 	stw     r26,56(r1)
      20:	39 80 00 00 	li      r12,0

      3c:	39 60 00 00 	li      r11,0
      40:	7d 8c d2 14 	add     r12,r12,r26
      44:	39 60 00 00 	li      r11,0
      48:	7d 83 63 78 	mr      r3,r12

      5c:	38 21 00 50 	addi    r1,r1,80
      60:	4e 80 00 20 	blr
    
    After this patch, the same test has become:
    
       0:	7c 64 1b 78 	mr      r4,r3
       4:	38 60 00 00 	li      r3,0
