Quentin Monnet 4454962314 nfp: bpf: optimise save/restore for R6~R9 based on register usage
When pre-processing the instructions, it is trivial to detect what
subprograms are using R6, R7, R8 or R9 as destination registers. If a
subprogram uses none of those, then we do not need to jump to the
subroutines dedicated to saving and restoring callee-saved registers in
its prologue and epilogue.

This patch introduces detection of callee-saved registers in subprograms
and prevents the JIT from adding calls to those subroutines whenever we
can: we save some instructions in the translated program, and some time
at runtime on BPF-to-BPF calls and returns.

If no subprogram needs to save those registers, we can avoid appending
the subroutines at the end of the program.

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.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

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.
