Subject: [RFC PATCH 1/7] powerpc: use 16-bit immediate for STACK_FRAME_REGS_MARKER
Date: Tue, 20 Sep 2022 00:01:43 +1000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20220919140149.4018927-2-npiggin@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20220919140149.4018927-1-npiggin@gmail.com>

Using a 16-bit constant for this marker allows it to be loaded with
a single 'li' instruction. On 64-bit this avoids a TOC entry and a
TOC load that depends on the r2 value that has just been loaded from
the PACA.

XXX: this probably should be 64-bit change and use 2 instruction
sequence that 32-bit uses, to avoid false positives.

Signed-off-by: Nicholas Piggin <npiggin@gmail•com>
