On my local testing machine, this function takes approximately 34% of CPU cycles for trig-uprobe-nop and trig-uprobe-push. This patch add a check to avoid unnecessary cache flush when writing instruction to the xol slot. If the instruction is same with the existing instruction in slot, there is no need to synchronize D/I cache. Since xol slot allocation and updates occur on the hot path of uprobe handling, The upstream kernel running on Kunpeng916 (Hi1616), 4 NUMA nodes, 64 cores@ 2.4GHz reveals this optimization has obvious gain for nop and push testcases.
