Hi,

As the discussion in PR112980, although the current
implementation for -fpatchable-function-entry* conforms
with the documentation (making N NOPs be consecutive),
it's inefficient for both kernel and userspace livepatching
(see comments in PR for the details).

So this patch is to change the current implementation by
emitting the "before" NOPs before global entry point and
the "after" NOPs after local entry point.  The new behavior
would not keep NOPs to be consecutive, so the documentation
is updated to emphasize this.

Bootstrapped and regress-tested on powerpc64-linux-gnu
P8/P9 and powerpc64le-linux-gnu P9 and P10.

Is it ok for trunk?  And backporting to active branches
after burn-in time?  I guess we should also mention this
change in changes.html?

BR,
Kewen

gcc/ChangeLog:

        * config/rs6000/rs6000-logue.cc (rs6000_output_function_prologue):
        Adjust the handling on patch area emitting with dual entry, remove
        the restriction on "before" NOPs count, not emit "before" NOPs any
        more but only emit "after" NOPs.
        * config/rs6000/rs6000.cc (rs6000_print_patchable_function_entry):
        Adjust by respecting cfun->machine->stop_patch_area_print.
        (rs6000_elf_declare_function_name): For ELFv2 with dual entry, set
        cfun->machine->stop_patch_area_print as true.
        * config/rs6000/rs6000.h (struct machine_function): Remove member
        global_entry_emitted, add new member stop_patch_area_print.
        * doc/invoke.texi (option -fpatchable-function-entry): Adjust the
        documentation for PowerPC ELFv2 dual entry.

gcc/testsuite/ChangeLog:

        * c-c++-common/patchable_function_entry-default.c: Adjust.
        * gcc.target/powerpc/pr99888-4.c: Likewise.
        * gcc.target/powerpc/pr99888-5.c: Likewise.
