__do_irq() inconditionnaly calls ppc_md.get_irq()
That's definitely a hot path.
At the time being ppc_md.get_irq address is read every time
from ppc_md structure.
Replace that call by a static call, and initialise that
call after ppc_md.init_IRQ() has set ppc_md.get_irq.
Emit a warning and don't set the static call if ppc_md.init_IRQ()
is still NULL, that way the kernel won't blow up if for some
reason ppc_md.get_irq() doesn't get properly set.
With the patch:
00000000 <__SCT__ppc_get_irq>:
0: 48 00 00 20 b 20 <__static_call_return0> <== Replaced by 'b <ppc_md.get_irq>' at runtime
...
00000020 <__static_call_return0>:
20: 38 60 00 00 li r3,0
24: 4e 80 00 20 blr
...
00000058 <__do_irq>:
...
64: 48 00 00 01 bl 64 <__do_irq+0xc>
64: R_PPC_REL24 __SCT__ppc_get_irq
68: 2c 03 00 00 cmpwi r3,0
...
Before the patch:
00000038 <__do_irq>:
...
3c: 3d 20 00 00 lis r9,0
3e: R_PPC_ADDR16_HA ppc_md+0x1c
...
44: 81 29 00 00 lwz r9,0(r9)
46: R_PPC_ADDR16_LO ppc_md+0x1c
...
4c: 7d 29 03 a6 mtctr r9
50: 4e 80 04 21 bctrl
54: 2c 03 00 00 cmpwi r3,0
...
On PPC64 which doesn't implement static calls yet we get:
00000000000000d0 <__do_irq>:
...
dc: 00 00 22 3d addis r9,r2,0
dc: R_PPC64_TOC16_HA .data+0x8
...
e4: 00 00 89 e9 ld r12,0(r9)
e4: R_PPC64_TOC16_LO_DS .data+0x8
...
f0: a6 03 89 7d mtctr r12
f4: 18 00 41 f8 std r2,24(r1)
f8: 21 04 80 4e bctrl
fc: 18 00 41 e8 ld r2,24(r1)
...
So on PPC64 that's similar to what we get without static calls.
But at least until ppc_md.get_irq() is set the call is to
__static_call_return0.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
