Many architectural features have over time moved from being optional to
either be required or removed by newer architecture releases. This means
that in many cases we can know at compile time whether a feature will be
supported or not purely due to the knowledge we have about the ISA the
kernel build is targeting.
This patch introduces a bunch of utility macros for checking for
supported options, ASEs & combinations of those with ISA revisions. It
then makes use of these in the default definitions of cpu_has_* macros.
The result is that many of the macros become compile-time constant,
allowing more optimisation opportunities for the compiler - particularly
with kernels built for later ISA revisions.
To demonstrate the effect of this patch, the following table shows the
size in bytes of the kernel binary as reported by scripts/bloat-o-meter
for v4.12-rc4 maltasmvp_defconfig kernels with & without this patch. A
variant of maltasmvp_defconfig with CONFIG_CPU_MIPS32_R6 selected is
also shown, to demonstrate that MIPSr6 systems benefit more due to extra
features becoming required by that architecture revision. Builds of
pistachio_defconfig are also shown, as although this is a MIPSr2
platform it doesn't hardcode any features in a machine-specific
cpu-feature-overrides.h, which allows it to gain more from this patch
than the equivalent Malta r2 build.
Config | Before | After | Change
----------------|---------|---------|---------
maltasmvp | 7248316 | 7247714 | -602
maltasmvp + r6 | 6955595 | 6950777 | -4818
pistachio | 8650977 | 8363898 | -287079
