c700b5e162208a0fa4211fc6d9dab271b1342640 spapr: avoid overhead of finding vhyp class in critical operations
PPC_VIRTUAL_HYPERVISOR_GET_CLASS is used in critical operations like
interrupts and TLB misses and is quite costly. Running the
kvm-unit-tests sieve program with radix MMU enabled thrashes the TCG
TLB and spends a lot of time in TLB and page table walking code. The
test takes 67 seconds to complete with a lot of time being spent in
code related to finding the vhyp class:
12.01% [.] g_str_hash
8.94% [.] g_hash_table_lookup
8.06% [.] object_class_dynamic_cast
6.21% [.] address_space_ldq
4.94% [.] __strcmp_avx2
4.28% [.] tlb_set_page_full
4.08% [.] address_space_translate_internal
3.17% [.] object_class_dynamic_cast_assert
2.84% [.] ppc_radix64_xlate
Keep a pointer to the class and avoid this lookup. This reduces the
execution time to 40 seconds.
