If FTR_BOOK3S_KUAP is disabled, kernel will continue to run with the same AMR value with which it was entered. Hence there is a high chance that we can return without restoring the AMR value. This also helps the case when applications are not using the pkey feature. In this case, different applications will have the same AMR values and hence we can avoid restoring AMR in this case too. Also avoid isync() if not really needed. Do the same for IAMR. null-syscall benchmark results: With smap/smep disabled: Without patch: 957.95 ns 2778.17 cycles With patch: 858.38 ns 2489.30 cycles With smap/smep enabled: Without patch: 1017.26 ns 2950.36 cycles With patch: 1021.51 ns 2962.44 cycles Signed-off-by: Aneesh Kumar K.V <aneesh.kumar@linux.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Michael Ellerman <mpe@ellerman.id.au> Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20201127044424.40686-23-aneesh.kumar@linux.ibm.com
