The compiler (GCC) does not like the situation, where there is inline
assembly block that clobbers all available machine registers in the
middle of the function. This situation can be found in function
svm_vcpu_run in file kvm/svm.c and results in many register spills and
fills to/from stack frame.
This patch fixes the issue with the same approach as was done for
VMX some time ago. The big inline assembly is moved to a separate
assembly .S file, taking into account all ABI requirements.
There are two main benefits of the above approach:
* elimination of several register spills and fills to/from stack
frame, and consequently smaller function .text size. The binary size
of svm_vcpu_run is lowered from 2019 to 1626 bytes.
* more efficient access to a register save array. Currently, register
save array is accessed as:
7b00: 48 8b 98 28 02 00 00 mov 0x228(%rax),%rbx
7b07: 48 8b 88 18 02 00 00 mov 0x218(%rax),%rcx
7b0e: 48 8b 90 20 02 00 00 mov 0x220(%rax),%rdx
and passing ia pointer to a register array as an argument to a function one gets:
12: 48 8b 48 08 mov 0x8(%rax),%rcx
16: 48 8b 50 10 mov 0x10(%rax),%rdx
1a: 48 8b 58 18 mov 0x18(%rax),%rbx
As a result, the total size, considering that the new function size is 229
bytes, gets lowered by 164 bytes.
