Subject: [PATCH] x86/asm/entry/64: pack interrupt dispatch table tighter

Interrupt entry points are handled with the following code:
Each 32-byte code block contains seven entry points

		...
		[push][jump 22] // 4 bytes
		[push][jump 18] // 4 bytes
		[push][jump 14] // 4 bytes
		[push][jump 10] // 4 bytes
		[push][jump  6] // 4 bytes
		[push][jump  2] // 4 bytes
		[push][jump common_interrupt][padding] // 8 bytes

		[push][jump]
		[push][jump]
		[push][jump]
		[push][jump]
		[push][jump]
		[push][jump]
		[push][jump common_interrupt][padding]

		[padding_2]
	common_interrupt:

The first six jumps are short (2-byte insns) jumps to the last
jump in the block. The last jump usually has to be a longer, 5-byte form.

There are about 30 such blocks.

This change uses the fact that last few of these blocks are close to
"common_interrupt" label and the last jump there can also be a short one.

This allows several last 32-byte code blocks to contain eight, not seven entry points,
and to have all these entry points jump directly to common_interrupt,
eliminating one branch. They look like this:

		[push][jump common_interrupt] // 4 bytes
		[push][jump common_interrupt] // 4 bytes
		[push][jump common_interrupt] // 4 bytes
		[push][jump common_interrupt] // 4 bytes
		[push][jump common_interrupt] // 4 bytes
		[push][jump common_interrupt] // 4 bytes
		[push][jump common_interrupt] // 4 bytes
		[push][jump common_interrupt] // 4 bytes

This change replaces ".p2align CONFIG_X86_L1_CACHE_SHIFT" before dispatch table
and before common_interrupt with 32-byte alignment.

The first alignment was completely unnecessary:
the dispatch table will not benefit from any alignment bigger than 32 bytes
(any entry point needs at most only 32 bytes of table to be read by the CPU).

The alignment before common_interrupt label affects the size of padding
(the "[padding_2]" above) and excessive padding reduces the number of blocks
which can be optimized. In the .config I tested with, this alignment was 64 bytes,
this means two fewer blocks could be optimized. I believe 32-byte alignment
should do just fine.

The condition which controls the choice of a direct jump versus short one,

    /* Can we reach common_interrupt with a short jump? */
    .if vector >= (FIRST_SYSTEM_VECTOR - (128-ALIGN_common_interrupt)/4)

was tested to be a passimistic one: the generated code will not erroneously
generate a longer than necessary jump even with maximum possible padding
and with -1 subtracted from the right hand side above.
This was verified by checking disassembly.

However, with current value of FIRST_SYSTEM_VECTOR it so happens
that the padding before "common_interrupt" is zero bytes.
