Here is a patch from Paul Mackerras that improves the ppc64 copy_tofrom_user.
The loop now does 32 bytes at a time and as well as pairing loads and stores.
A quick test case that reads 8kB over and over shows the improvement:

Add the option to build the code under arch/powerpc with -Werror.
The intention is to make it harder for people to inadvertantly introduce
warnings in the arch/powerpc code. It needs to be configurable so that
if a warning is introduced, people can easily work around it while it's
being fixed.
The option is a negative, ie. don't enable -Werror, so that it will be
turned on for allyes and allmodconfig builds.
The default is n, in the hope that developers will build with -Werror,
that will probably lead to some build breaks, I am prepared to be flamed.
It's not enabled for math-emu, which is a steaming pile of warnings.

This reverts commit 33f00dcedb.
While it was a good idea to try to use the mm/vmalloc.c allocator instead
of our own (in fact, ours is itself a dup on an old variant of the vmalloc
one), unfortunately, the approach is terminally busted since
dma_alloc_coherent() can be called at interrupt time or in atomic contexts
and there's little chances we'll make the code in mm/vmalloc.c cope with\ that :-(
Until we can get the generic code to forbid that idiocy and fix all
drivers abusing it, we pretty much have no choice but revert to
our custom virtual space allocator.
There's also a problem with SMP safety since freeing such mapping
would require an IPI which cannot be done at interrupt time.
However, right now, I don't think we support any platform that is
both SMP and has non-coherent DMA (don't laugh, I know such things
do exist !) so we can sort that out later.

This fixes a regression introduced by commit
25d6e2d7c5 ("powerpc: Update 64bit memcpy()
using CPU_FTR_UNALIGNED_LD_STD").
This commit allowed CPUs that have the CPU_FTR_UNALIGNED_LD_STD CPU
feature bit present to do the memcpy() with unaligned load doubles. But,
along with this came a bug where our final load double would read bytes
beyond a page boundary and into the next (unmapped) page. This was caught
by enabling CONFIG_DEBUG_PAGEALLOC,
The fix was to read only the number of bytes that we need to store rather
than reading a full 8-byte doubleword and storing only a portion of that.
In order to minimise the amount of existing code touched we use the
original do_tail for the src_unaligned case.
Below is an example of the regression, as reported by Sachin Sant:

In exactly the same way that we updated memcpy() with new feature
sections in commit 25d6e2d7c5 ("powerpc:
Update 64bit memcpy() using CPU_FTR_UNALIGNED_LD_STD"), we do the same
thing here for __copy_tofrom_user(). Once again this is purely a
performance tweak for Cell and Power6 - this has no effect on all the
other 64bit powerpc chips.
We can make these same changes to __copy_tofrom_user() because the
basic copy algorithm is the same as in memcpy() - this version just
has all the exception handling logic needed when copying to or from
userspace as well as a special case for copying whole 4K pages that
are page aligned.
CPU_FTR_UNALIGNED_LD_STD CPU was added in commit
4ec577a289 ("powerpc: Add new CPU

Update memcpy() to add two new feature sections: one for aligning the
destination before copying and one for copying using aligned load
and store doubles.
These new feature sections will only affect Power6 and Cell because
the CPU feature bit was only added to these two processors.
Power6 gets its best performance in memcpy() when aligning neither the
source nor the destination, while Cell gets its best performance when
just the destination is aligned. But in order to save on CPU feature
bits we can use the previously added CPU_FTR_CP_USE_DCBTZ feature bit
to differentiate between Power6 and Cell (because CPU_FTR_CP_USE_DCBTZ
was added to Cell but not Power6).
The first feature section acts to nop out the branch that takes us to
the code that aligns us to an eight byte boundary for the destination.
We only want to nop out this branch on Power6.
So the ALT_FTR_SECTION_END() for this feature section creates a test
mask of the two feature bits ORed together and provides an expected
result of just CPU_FTR_UNALIGNED_LD_STD, thus we nop out the branch
if we're on a CPU that has CPU_FTR_UNALIGNED_LD_STD set and
CPU_FTR_CP_USE_DCBTZ unset.
For the second feature section added, if we're on a CPU that has the
CPU_FTR_UNALIGNED_LD_STD bit set then we don't want to do the copy
with aligned loads and stores (and the appropriate shifting left and
right instructions), so we want to nop out the branch to
.Lsrc_unaligned.
The andi. used for this branch is moved to just above the branch
because this allows us to nop out both instructions with just one
feature section which gives us better performance and doesn't hurt
readability which two separate feature sections did.
Moving the andi. to just above the branch doesn't have any noticeable
negative effect on the remaining 64bit processors (the ones that
didn't have this feature bit added).
On Cell this simple modification results in an improvement to measured
memcpy() bandwidth of up to 50% in the hot cache case and up to 15% in
the cold cache case.
On Power6 we get memory bandwidth results that are up to three times
faster in the hot cache case and up to 50% faster in the cold cache
case.
Commit 2a9294369b ("powerpc: Add new CPU
feature: CPU_FTR_CP_USE_DCBTZ") was where CPU_FTR_CP_USE_DCBTZ was
added.
To say that Cell gets its best performance in memcpy() with just the
destination aligned is true but only for the reason that the indirect
shift and rotate instructions, sld and srd, are microcoded on Cell.
This means that either the destination or the source can be aligned,
but not both, and seeing as we get better performance with the
destination aligned we choose this option.
While we're at it make a one line change from cmpldi r1,... to
cmpldi cr1,... for consistency.

This new copy_4K_page() function was originally tuned for the best
performance on the Cell processor, but after testing on more 64bit
powerpc chips it was found that with a small modification it either
matched the performance offered by the current mainline version or
bettered it by a small amount.
It was found that on a Cell-based QS22 blade the amount of system
time measured when compiling a 2.6.26 pseries_defconfig decreased
by 4%. Using the same test, a 4-way 970MP machine saw a decrease of
2% in system time. No noticeable change was seen on Power4, Power5
or Power6.
The 4096 byte page is copied in thirty-two 128 byte strides. An
initial setup loop executes dcbt instructions for the whole source
page and dcbz instructions for the whole destination page. To do
this, the cache line size is retrieved from ppc64_caches.
A new CPU feature bit, CPU_FTR_CP_USE_DCBTZ, (introduced in the
previous patch) is used to make the modification to this new copy
routine - on Power4, 970 and Cell the feature bit is set so the
setup loop is executed, but on all other 64bit chips the setup
loop is nop'ed out.

On 32-bit architectures PAGE_ALIGN() truncates 64-bit values to the 32-bit
boundary. For example:
u64 val = PAGE_ALIGN(size);
always returns a value < 4GB even if size is greater than 4GB.
The problem resides in PAGE_MASK definition (from include/asm-x86/page.h for
example):
#define PAGE_SHIFT 12
#define PAGE_SIZE (_AC(1,UL) << PAGE_SHIFT)
#define PAGE_MASK (~(PAGE_SIZE-1))
...
#define PAGE_ALIGN(addr) (((addr)+PAGE_SIZE-1)&PAGE_MASK)
The "~" is performed on a 32-bit value, so everything in "and" with
PAGE_MASK greater than 4GB will be truncated to the 32-bit boundary.
Using the ALIGN() macro seems to be the right way, because it uses
typeof(addr) for the mask.
Also move the PAGE_ALIGN() definitions out of include/asm-*/page.h in
include/linux/mm.h.

To allow for a single kernel image on e500 v1/v2/mc we need to fixup lwsync
at runtime. On e500v1/v2 lwsync causes an illop so we need to patch up
the code. We default to 'sync' since that is always safe and if the cpu
is capable we will replace 'sync' with 'lwsync'.
We introduce CPU_FTR_LWSYNC as a way to determine at runtime if this is
needed. This flag could be moved elsewhere since we dont really use it
for the normal CPU_FTR purpose.
Finally we only store the relative offset in the fixup section to keep it

On PowerPC processors with non-coherent cache architectures the DMA
subsystem calls invalidate_dcache_range() before performing a DMA read
operation. If the address and length of the DMA buffer are not aligned
to a cache-line boundary this can result in memory outside of the DMA
buffer being invalidated in the cache. If this memory has an
uncommitted store then the data will be lost and a subsequent read of
that address will result in an old value being returned from main memory.
Only when the DMA buffer starts on a cache-line boundary and is an exact
mutiple of the cache-line size can invalidate_dcache_range() be called,
otherwise flush_dcache_range() must be called. flush_dcache_range()
will first flush uncommitted writes, and then invalidate the cache.

The current feature section logic only supports nop'ing out code, this means
if you want to choose at runtime between instruction sequences, one or both
cases will have to execute the nop'ed out contents of the other section, eg:
BEGIN_FTR_SECTION
or 1,1,1
END_FTR_SECTION_IFSET(FOO)
BEGIN_FTR_SECTION
or 2,2,2
END_FTR_SECTION_IFCLR(FOO)
and the resulting code will be either,
or 1,1,1
nop
or,
nop
or 2,2,2
For small code segments this is fine, but for larger code blocks and in
performance criticial code segments, it would be nice to avoid the nops.
This commit starts to implement logic to allow the following:
BEGIN_FTR_SECTION
or 1,1,1
FTR_SECTION_ELSE
or 2,2,2
ALT_FTR_SECTION_END_IFSET(FOO)
and the resulting code will be:
or 1,1,1
or,
or 2,2,2
We achieve this by extending the existing FTR macros. The current feature
section semantic just becomes a special case, ie. if the else case is empty
we nop out the default case.
The key limitation is that the size of the else case must be less than or
equal to the size of the default case. If the else case is smaller the
remainder of the section is nop'ed.
We let the linker put the else case code in with the rest of the text,
so that relative branches from the else case are more likley to link,
this has the disadvantage that we can't free the unused else cases.
This commit introduces the required macro and linker script changes, but
does not enable the patching of the alternative sections.
We also need to update two hand-made section entries in reg.h and timex.h

The logic to patch CPU feature sections lives in cputable.c, but these days
it's used for CPU features as well as firmware features. Move it into
it's own file for neatness and as preparation for some additions.
While we're moving the code, we pull the loop body logic into a separate
routine, and remove a comment which doesn't apply anymore.

Add tests of the existing code patching routines, as well as the new
routines added in the last commit. The self-tests are run late in boot
when CONFIG_CODE_PATCHING_SELFTEST=y, which depends on DEBUG_KERNEL=y.

If you pass a target value to create_branch() which is more than 32MB - 4,
or - 32MB away from the branch site, then it's impossible to create an
immediate branch. The current code doesn't check, which will lead to us
creating a branch to somewhere else - which is bad.
For code that cares to check we return 0, which is easy to check for, and
for code that doesn't at least we'll be creating an illegal instruction,
rather than a branch to some random address.

Currently create_branch() creates a branch instruction for you, and
patches it into the call site. In some circumstances it would be nice
to be able to create the instruction and patch it later, and also some
code might want to check for errors in the branch creation before
doing the patching. A future commit will change create_branch() to
check for errors.
For callers that don't care, replace create_branch() with
patch_branch(), which just creates the branch and patches it directly.
While we're touching all the callers, change to using unsigned int *,
as this seems to match usage better. That allows (and requires) us to
remove the volatile in the definition of vector in powermac/smp.c and
mpc86xx_smp.c, that's correct because now that we're passing vector as
an unsigned int * the compiler knows that it's value might change
across the patch_branch() call.

We currently have a few routines for patching code in asm/system.h, because
they didn't fit anywhere else. I'd like to clean them up a little and add
some more, so first move them into a dedicated C file - they don't need to
be inlined.
While we're moving the code, drop create_function_call(), it's intended
caller never got merged and will be replaced in future with something
different.

GCC 4.4.x looks to be adding support for generating out-of-line register
saves/restores based on:
http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-patches/2008-04/msg01678.html
This breaks the kernel if we enable CONFIG_CC_OPTIMIZE_FOR_SIZE. To fix
this we add the use the save/restore code from gcc and simplified it down
for our needs (integer only).
Additionally, we have to link this code into each module. The other
solution was to add EXPORT_SYMBOL() which meant going through the
trampoline which seemed nonsensical for these out-of-line routines.
Finally, we add some checks to prom_init_check.sh to ignore the
out-of-line save/restore functions.

This fixes a few more miscellaneous compile problems with ARCH=ppc.
1. Don't compile devres.c on ARCH=ppc, it doesn't have ioremap_flags.
2. Include <asm/irq.h> in setup.c for the __DO_IRQ_CANON definition.
3. Include <linux/proc_fs.h> in residual.c for the
definition of create_proc_read_entry.
4. Fix xchg_ptr to be a static inline to eliminate a compiler warning.

We provide an ioremap_flags, so this provides a corresponding
devm_ioremap_prot. The slight name difference is at Ben
Herrenschmidt's request as he plans on changing ioremap_flags to
ioremap_prot in the future.

The rheap allocation function, rh_alloc, could call kmalloc with GFP_KERNEL.
This can sleep, which means you couldn't hold a spinlock while called rh_alloc.
Change all kmalloc calls to use GFP_ATOMIC so that it won't sleep. This is
safe because only small blocks are allocated.

We have an assembly version of strncmp for the bootwrapper, but not
for the kernel, so we end up using the C version in the kernel. This
takes the strncmp code from the bootup and copies it to the kernel
proper, adding two instructions so it copes correctly with len==0.
