x86/percpu: Do not clobber %rsi in percpu_{try_,}cmpxchg{64,128}_op
The fallback alternative uses %rsi register to manually load pointer to the percpu variable before the call to the emulation function. This is unoptimal, because the load is hidden from the compiler. Move the load of %rsi outside inline asm, so the compiler can reuse the value. The code in slub.o improves from: 55ac: 49 8b 3c 24 mov (%r12),%rdi 55b0: 48 8d 4a 40 lea 0x40(%rdx),%rcx 55b4: 49 8b 1c 07 mov (%r15,%rax,1),%rbx 55b8: 4c 89 f8 mov %r15,%rax 55bb: 48 8d 37 lea (%rdi),%rsi 55be: e8 00 00 00 00 callq 55c3 <...> 55bf: R_X86_64_PLT32 this_cpu_cmpxchg16b_emu-0x4 55c3: 75 a3 jne 5568 <...> 55c5: ... 0000000000000000 <.altinstr_replacement>: 5: 65 48 0f c7 0f cmpxchg16b %gs:(%rdi) to: 55ac: 49 8b 34 24 mov (%r12),%rsi 55b0: 48 8d 4a 40 lea 0x40(%rdx),%rcx 55b4: 49 8b 1c 07 mov (%r15,%rax,1),%rbx 55b8: 4c 89 f8 mov %r15,%rax 55bb: e8 00 00 00 00 callq 55c0 <...> 55bc: R_X86_64_PLT32 this_cpu_cmpxchg16b_emu-0x4 55c0: 75 a6 jne 5568 <...> 55c2: ... Where the alternative replacement instruction now uses %rsi: 0000000000000000 <.altinstr_replacement>: 5: 65 48 0f c7 0e cmpxchg16b %gs:(%rsi) The instruction (effectively a reg-reg move) at 55bb: in the original assembly is removed. Also, both the CALL and replacement CMPXCHG16B are 5 bytes long, removing the need for NOPs in the asm code.
