objtool: Introduce CFI hash
Andi reported that objtool on vmlinux.o consumes more memory than his system has, leading to horrific performance. This is in part because we keep a struct instruction for every instruction in the file in-memory. Shrink struct instruction by removing the CFI state (which includes full register state) from it and demand allocating it. Given most instructions don't actually change CFI state, there's lots of repetition there, so add a hash table to find previous CFI instances. Reduces memory consumption (and runtime) for processing an x86_64-allyesconfig: pre: 4:40.84 real, 143.99 user, 44.18 sys, 30624988 mem post: 2:14.61 real, 108.58 user, 25.04 sys, 16396184 mem Suggested-by: Andi Kleen <andi@firstfloor.org> Signed-off-by: Peter Zijlstra (Intel) <peterz@infradead.org> Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20210624095147.756759107@infradead.org
