[RFC PATCH 1/6] arm64: use tpidr_el1 for current, free sp_el0
From: Mark Rutland
Date: Wed Jul 12 2017 - 18:34:13 EST
Today we use TPIDR_EL1 for our percpu offset, and SP_EL0 for current
(and current::thread_info, which is at offset 0).
Using SP_EL0 in this way prevents us from using EL1 thread mode, where
SP_EL0 is not addressable (since it's used as the active SP). It also
means we can't use SP_EL0 for other purposes (e.g. as a
scratch-register).
This patch frees up SP_EL0 for such usage, by storing the percpu offset
in current::thread_info, and using TPIDR_EL1 to store current. As we no
longer need to update SP_EL0 at EL0 exception boundaries, this allows us
to delete some code.
This new organisation means that we need to perform an additional load
to acquire the prcpu offset. However, our assembly constraints allow
current to be cached, and therefore allow the offset to be cached.
Additionally, in most cases where we need the percpu offset, we also
need to fiddle with the preempt count or other data stored in
current::thread_info, so this data should already be hot in the caches.
