Xu Kuohai says: ==================== bpf, arm64: Simplify jited prologue/epilogue From: Xu Kuohai <xukuohai@huawei.com> The arm64 jit blindly saves/restores all callee-saved registers, making the jited result looks a bit too compliated. For example, for an empty prog, the jited result is: 0: bti jc 4: mov x9, lr 8: nop c: paciasp 10: stp fp, lr, [sp, #-16]! 14: mov fp, sp 18: stp x19, x20, [sp, #-16]! 1c: stp x21, x22, [sp, #-16]! 20: stp x26, x25, [sp, #-16]! 24: mov x26, #0 28: stp x26, x25, [sp, #-16]! 2c: mov x26, sp 30: stp x27, x28, [sp, #-16]! 34: mov x25, sp 38: bti j // tailcall target 3c: sub sp, sp, #0 40: mov x7, #0 44: add sp, sp, #0 48: ldp x27, x28, [sp], #16 4c: ldp x26, x25, [sp], #16 50: ldp x26, x25, [sp], #16 54: ldp x21, x22, [sp], #16 58: ldp x19, x20, [sp], #16 5c: ldp fp, lr, [sp], #16 60: mov x0, x7 64: autiasp 68: ret Clearly, there is no need to save/restore unused callee-saved registers. This patch does this change, making the jited image to only save/restore the callee-saved registers it uses. Now the jited result of empty prog is: 0: bti jc 4: mov x9, lr 8: nop c: paciasp 10: stp fp, lr, [sp, #-16]! 14: mov fp, sp 18: stp xzr, x26, [sp, #-16]! 1c: mov x26, sp 20: bti j // tailcall target 24: mov x7, #0 28: ldp xzr, x26, [sp], #16 2c: ldp fp, lr, [sp], #16 30: mov x0, x7 34: autiasp 38: ret ==================== Acked-by: Puranjay Mohan <puranjay@kernel.org> Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20240826071624.350108-1-xukuohai@huaweicloud.comSigned-off-by: Alexei Starovoitov <ast@kernel.org>
