From 3c1a3bcea945f9d59ab1fe3d319c67c0ff56100f Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Heiko Carstens Date: Fri, 13 Mar 2015 13:13:36 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] s390/maccess: improve s390_kernel_write() Use the sturg instruction instead of the stura instruction. This allows to modify up to eight bytes in a row instead of only four. For function tracer enabling and disabling this reduces the time needed to modify the text sections by 50%, since for each mcount call site six bytes need to be changed. Also remove the EXTABLE entries, since calls to this function are not supposed to fail. Signed-off-by: Heiko Carstens Signed-off-by: Martin Schwidefsky --- Reading git-format-patch failed
