Subject: [PATCH v6 3/3] powerpc/powernv: Preference optimization for SPRs with constant values
There are SPRs whose values don't tend to change over time and invoking
self-save on them, where the values are gotten each time may turn out to
be inefficient. In that case calling a self-restore where passing the
value makes more sense as, if the value is same the memory location
is not updated.
SPRs that dont change are as follows:
SPRN_HSPRG0,
SPRN_LPCR,
SPRN_PTCR,
SPRN_HMEER,
SPRN_HID0,
There are also SPRs whose values change and/or their value may not be
correcty determinable in the kernel. Eg: MSR and PSSCR
The value of LPCR is dynamic based on if the CPU is entered a stop
state during cpu idle versus cpu hotplug.
Therefore in this optimization patch, introducing the concept of
preference for each SPR to choose from in the case both self-save and
self-restore is supported.
The preference bitmask is shown as below:
----------------------------
|... | 2nd pref | 1st pref |
----------------------------
MSB LSB
The preference from higher to lower is from LSB to MSB with a shift of 8
bits.
Example:
Prefer self save first, if not available then prefer self
restore
The preference mask for this scenario will be seen as below.
((FIRMWARE_RESTORE << PREFERENCE_SHIFT) | FIRMWARE_SELF_SAVE)
---------------------------------
|... | Self restore | Self save |
---------------------------------
MSB LSB
