H A Djump_label.hdiff cc1adb5f32557f10f48e8febbef7278a2db9d593 Thu Jul 03 00:52:03 CDT 2014 Anton Blanchard <anton@samba.org> powerpc/pseries: Use jump labels for hcall tracepoints

hcall tracepoints add quite a few instructions to our hcall path:

plpar_hcall:
mr r2,r2
mfcr r0
stw r0,8(r1)
b 164 <---- start
ld r12,0(r2)
std r12,32(r1)
cmpdi r12,0
beq 164 <---- end
...

We have an unconditional branch that gets noped out during boot and
a load/compare/branch. We also store the tracepoint value to the
stack for the hcall_exit path to use.

By using jump labels we can simplify this to just a single nop that
gets replaced with a branch when the tracepoint is enabled:

plpar_hcall:
mr r2,r2
mfcr r0
stw r0,8(r1)
nop <----
...

If jump labels are not enabled, we fall back to the old method.
