arm64: entry: use ldp/stp instead of push/pop when saving/restoring regs
The push/pop instructions can be suboptimal when saving/restoring large amounts of data to/from the stack, for example on entry/exit from the kernel. This is because: (1) They act on descending addresses (i.e. the newly decremented sp), which may defeat some hardware prefetchers (2) They introduce an implicit dependency between each instruction, as the sp has to be updated in order to resolve the address of the next access. This patch removes the push/pop instructions from our kernel entry/exit macros in favour of ldp/stp plus offset. Signed-off-by: Will Deacon <will.deacon@arm.com>
