[PATCH v3 1/3] powerpc: rewrite LOAD_REG_IMMEDIATE() as an intelligent macro

From: Christophe Leroy
Date: Mon Aug 19 2019 - 09:58:16 EST


Today LOAD_REG_IMMEDIATE() is a basic #define which loads all
parts on a value into a register, including the parts that are NUL.

This means always 2 instructions on PPC32 and always 5 instructions
on PPC64. And those instructions cannot run in parallele as they are
updating the same register.

Ex: LOAD_REG_IMMEDIATE(r1,THREAD_SIZE) in head_64.S results in:

3c 20 00 00 lis r1,0
60 21 00 00 ori r1,r1,0
78 21 07 c6 rldicr r1,r1,32,31
64 21 00 00 oris r1,r1,0
60 21 40 00 ori r1,r1,16384

Rewrite LOAD_REG_IMMEDIATE() with GAS macro in order to skip
the parts that are NUL.

Rename existing LOAD_REG_IMMEDIATE() as LOAD_REG_IMMEDIATE_SYM()
and use that one for loading value of symbols which are not known
at compile time.

Now LOAD_REG_IMMEDIATE(r1,THREAD_SIZE) in head_64.S results in:

38 20 40 00 li r1,16384

v2: Fixed the test from (\x) & 0xffffffff to (\x) >= 0x80000000 || (\x) < -0x80000000 in __LOAD_REG_IMMEDIATE()
v3: Replaced rldicr by sldi as suggested by Segher for readability
