arm64: pgtable: convert pte_present() from macro to static inline
pte_present() is used as the basis for both pmd_present() and pud_present().
It is currently implemented as a macro composed of pte_val() and
pte_present_invalid().
When pte_present() or its higher-level variants are used directly with
ptep_get() or pXdp_get(), for example:
pte_present(ptep_get(pte));
pmd_present(pmdp_get(pmd));
pud_present(pudp_get(pud));
the macro expansion causes the compiler to evaluate the argument twice,
resulting in redundant loads. For example, pte_present() expands to:
!pte_val(READ_ONCE(*pte) || pte_present_invalid(READ_ONCE(*pte))
A typical example is pud_free_pmd_page(), where the expansion of
pmd_present() generates:
...
/* pmd_present() (x20 = pmdp) */
1b88: f9400288 ldr x8, [x20] // read pmdp.
1b8c: f9000fa8 str x8, [x29, #0x18]
1b90: 3707fec8 tbnz w8, #0x0, 0x1b68 <pud_free_pmd_page+0xd0>
1b94: f9400288 ldr x8, [x20] // redundant read of pmdp.
1b98: 8a170109 and x9, x8, x23
1b9c: f9000fa8 str x8, [x29, #0x18]
1ba0: f120013f cmp x9, #0x800
1ba4: 54fffe20 b.eq 0x1b68 <pud_free_pmd_page+0xd0>
1ba8: 17fffff4 b 0x1b78 <pud_free_pmd_page+0xe0>
...
Convert pte_present() to static inline function so that prevent the
generation of redundant code and move pte_valid() and
pte_present_invalid() further up so the inline function can use them.
After this change, the generated code becomes:
...
/* pmd_present() (x20 = pmdp) */
1a30: f9400288 ldr x8, [x20]
1a34: 8a170109 and x9, x8, x23
1a38: f9000fa8 str x8, [x29, #0x18]
1a3c: f120013f cmp x9, #0x800
1a40: 54fffe80 b.eq 0x1a10 <pud_free_pmd_page+0xd0>
1a44: 3607fee8 tbz w8, #0x0, 0x1a20 <pud_free_pmd_page+0xe0>
1a48: 17fffff2 b 0x1a10 <pud_free_pmd_page+0xd0>
...
This eliminates the redundant load and also reduces code size at
call sites using this pattern. For example, pud_free_pmd_page() shrinks
from 7,500 bytes to 7,148 bytes, a reduction of approximately 4.7%.
