I was debugging some unrelated issue and noticed the current code was
very verbose. We can improve it easily by using the more common batch
buffer building pattern.
Before:
bb->cs[bb->len++] = MI_LOAD_REGISTER_REG | MI_LRR_DST_CS_MMIO;
c4d: 41 8b 56 10 mov 0x10(%r14),%edx
c51: 49 8b 4e 08 mov 0x8(%r14),%rcx
c55: 8d 72 01 lea 0x1(%rdx),%esi
c58: 41 89 76 10 mov %esi,0x10(%r14)
c5c: c7 04 91 01 00 08 15 movl $0x15080001,(%rcx,%rdx,4)
bb->cs[bb->len++] = entry->reg.addr;
c63: 8b 08 mov (%rax),%ecx
c65: 41 8b 56 10 mov 0x10(%r14),%edx
c69: 49 8b 76 08 mov 0x8(%r14),%rsi
c6d: 81 e1 ff ff 3f 00 and $0x3fffff,%ecx
c73: 8d 7a 01 lea 0x1(%rdx),%edi
c76: 41 89 7e 10 mov %edi,0x10(%r14)
c7a: 89 0c 96 mov %ecx,(%rsi,%rdx,4)
..etc..
After:
*cs++ = MI_LOAD_REGISTER_REG | MI_LRR_DST_CS_MMIO;
c52: 41 c7 04 24 01 00 08 movl $0x15080001,(%r12)
c59: 15
*cs++ = entry->reg.addr;
c5a: 8b 10 mov (%rax),%edx
..etc..
Resulting in the following binary change:
add/remove: 0/0 grow/shrink: 0/2 up/down: 0/-348 (-348)
Function old new delta
xe_gt_record_default_lrcs.cold 304 296 -8
xe_gt_record_default_lrcs 2200 1860 -340
Total: Before=13554, After=13206, chg -2.57%

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 reStructuredText markup notation.
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.
