nfp: bpf: optimise save/restore for R6~R9 based on register usage When pre-processing the instructions, it is trivial to detect what subprograms are using R6, R7, R8 or R9 as destination registers. If a subprogram uses none of those, then we do not need to jump to the subroutines dedicated to saving and restoring callee-saved registers in its prologue and epilogue. This patch introduces detection of callee-saved registers in subprograms and prevents the JIT from adding calls to those subroutines whenever we can: we save some instructions in the translated program, and some time at runtime on BPF-to-BPF calls and returns. If no subprogram needs to save those registers, we can avoid appending the subroutines at the end of the program.
