powerpc/64: Avoid restore_math call if possible in syscall exit
The syscall exit code that branches to restore_math is quite heavy on Book3S, consisting of 2 mtmsr instructions. Threads that don't use both FP and vector can get caught here if the kernel ever uses FP or vector. Lazy-FP/vec context switching also trips this case. So check for lazy FP and vector before switching RI for restore_math. Move most of this case out of line. For threads that do want to restore math registers, the MSR switches are still suboptimal. Future direction may be to use a soft-RI bit to avoid MSR switches in kernel (similar to soft-EE), but for now at least the no-restore POWER9 context switch rate increases by about 5% due to sched_yield(2) return performance. I haven't constructed a test to measure the syscall cost. Signed-off-by: Nicholas Piggin <npiggin@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Michael Ellerman <mpe@ellerman.id.au>
