We do binary patching of asm code using CPU features, which is a
one-time operation, done during early boot. However checks of CPU
features in C code are currently done at run time, even though the set
of CPU features can never change after boot.
We can optimise this by using jump labels to implement cpu_has_feature(),
meaning checks in C code are binary patched into a single nop or branch.
For a C sequence along the lines of:
if (cpu_has_feature(FOO))
return 2;
The generated code before is roughly:
ld r9,-27640(r2)
ld r9,0(r9)
lwz r9,32(r9)
cmpwi cr7,r9,0
bge cr7, 1f
li r3,2
blr
1: ...
After (true):
nop
li r3,2
blr
After (false):
b 1f
li r3,2
blr
1: ...
mpe: Rename MAX_CPU_FEATURES as we already have a #define with that
name, and define it simply as a constant, rather than doing tricks with
sizeof and NULL pointers. Rename the array to cpu_feature_keys. Use the
kconfig we added to guard it. Add BUILD_BUG_ON() if the feature is not a
compile time constant. Rewrite the change log.

Early in boot we binary patch some sections of code based on the CPU and
MMU feature bits. But it is a one-time patching, there is no facility
for repatching the code later if the set of features change.
It is a major bug if the set of features changes after we've done the
code patching - so add a check for it.

There is an ordering issue with spin_unlock_wait() on powerpc, because
the spin_lock primitive is an ACQUIRE and an ACQUIRE is only ordering
the load part of the operation with memory operations following it.
Therefore the following event sequence can happen:
CPU 1 CPU 2 CPU 3
================== ==================== ==============
spin_unlock(&lock);
spin_lock(&lock):
r1 = *lock; // r1 == 0;
o = object; o = READ_ONCE(object); // reordered here
object = NULL;
smp_mb();
spin_unlock_wait(&lock);
*lock = 1;
smp_mb();
o->dead = true; < o = READ_ONCE(object); > // reordered upwards
if (o) // true
BUG_ON(o->dead); // true!!
To fix this, we add a "nop" ll/sc loop in arch_spin_unlock_wait() on
ppc, the "nop" ll/sc loop reads the lock
value and writes it back atomically, in this way it will synchronize the
view of the lock on CPU1 with that on CPU2. Therefore in the scenario
above, either CPU2 will fail to get the lock at first or CPU1 will see
the lock acquired by CPU2, both cases will eliminate this bug. This is a
similar idea as what Will Deacon did for ARM64 in:
d86b8da04d ("arm64: spinlock: serialise spin_unlock_wait against concurrent lockers")
Furthermore, if the "nop" ll/sc figures out the lock is locked, we
actually don't need to do the "nop" ll/sc trick again, we can just do a
normal load+check loop for the lock to be released, because in that
case, spin_unlock_wait() is called when someone is holding the lock, and
the store part of the "nop" ll/sc happens before the lock release of the
current lock holder:
"nop" ll/sc -> spin_unlock()
and the lock release happens before the next lock acquisition:
spin_unlock() -> spin_lock() <next holder>
which means the "nop" ll/sc happens before the next lock acquisition:
"nop" ll/sc -> spin_unlock() -> spin_lock() <next holder>
With a smp_mb() preceding spin_unlock_wait(), the store of object is
guaranteed to be observed by the next lock holder:
STORE -> smp_mb() -> "nop" ll/sc
-> spin_unlock() -> spin_lock() <next holder>
This patch therefore fixes the issue and also cleans the
arch_spin_unlock_wait() a little bit by removing superfluous memory
barriers in loops and consolidating the implementations for PPC32 and
PPC64 into one.

There is a switch fallthough in instr_analyze() which can cause an
invalid instruction to be emulated as a different, valid, instruction.
The rld* (opcode 30) case extracts a sub-opcode from bits 3:1 of the
instruction word. However, the only valid values of this field are 001
and 000. These cases are correctly handled, but the others are not which
causes execution to fall through into case 31.
Breaking out of the switch causes the instruction to be marked as
unknown and allows the caller to deal with the invalid instruction in a
manner consistent with other invalid instructions.

"Highlights include 8xx optimizations, 32-bit checksum optimizations,

csum_partial is often called for small fixed length packets
for which it is suboptimal to use the generic csum_partial()
function.
For instance, in my configuration, I got:
* One place calling it with constant len 4
* Seven places calling it with constant len 8
* Three places calling it with constant len 14
* One place calling it with constant len 20
* One place calling it with constant len 24
* One place calling it with constant len 32
This patch renames csum_partial() to __csum_partial() and
implements csum_partial() as a wrapper inline function which
* uses csum_add() for small 16bits multiple constant length
* uses ip_fast_csum() for other 32bits multiple constant
* uses __csum_partial() in all other cases

r5 does contain the value to be updated, so lets use r5 all way long
for that. It makes the code more readable.
To avoid confusion, it is better to use adde instead of addc
The first addition is useless. Its only purpose is to clear carry.
As r4 is a signed int that is always positive, this can be done by
using srawi instead of srwi
Let's also remove the comment about bdnz having no overhead as it
is not correct on all powerpc, at least on MPC8xx
In the last part, in our situation, the remaining quantity of bytes
to be proceeded is between 0 and 3. Therefore, we can base that part
on the value of bit 31 and bit 30 of r4 instead of anding r4 with 3
then proceding on comparisons and substractions.

csum_partial_copy_generic() does the same as copy_tofrom_user and also
calculates the checksum during the copy. Unlike copy_tofrom_user(),
the existing version of csum_partial_copy_generic() doesn't take
benefit of the cache.
This patch is a rewrite of csum_partial_copy_generic() based on
copy_tofrom_user().
The previous version of csum_partial_copy_generic() was handling
errors. Now we have the checksum wrapper functions to handle the error
case like in powerpc64 so we can make the error case simple:
just return -EFAULT.
copy_tofrom_user() only has r12 available => we use it for the
checksum r7 and r8 which contains pointers to error feedback are used,
so we stack them.
On a TCP benchmark using socklib on the loopback interface on which
checksum offload and scatter/gather have been deactivated, we get
about 20% performance increase.

I noticed ksm spending quite a lot of time in memcmp on a large
KVM box. The current memcmp loop is very unoptimised - byte at a
time compares with no loop unrolling. We can do much much better.
Optimise the loop in a few ways:
- Unroll the byte at a time loop
- For large (at least 32 byte) comparisons that are also 8 byte
aligned, use an unrolled modulo scheduled loop using 8 byte
loads. This is similar to our glibc memcmp.
A simple microbenchmark testing 10000000 iterations of an 8192 byte
memcmp was used to measure the performance:
baseline: 29.93 s
modified: 1.70 s
Just over 17x faster.
v2: Incorporated some suggestions from Segher:
- Use andi. instead of rdlicl.
- Convert bdnzt eq, to bdnz. It's just duplicating the earlier compare
and was a relic from a previous version.
- Don't use cr5, we have plans to use that CR field for fast local
atomics.

In the Makefile, string.o (which is generated from string.S) is
included into the list of objects being built unconditionally
(obj-y) in line 12.
Additionally, if CONFIG_PPC64 is set, it is included again in
line 17.
This patch removes the latter unnecessary inclusion.

Although we are now selecting NO_BOOTMEM, we still have some traces of
bootmem lying around. That is because even with NO_BOOTMEM there is
still a shim that converts bootmem calls into memblock calls, but
ultimately we want to remove all traces of bootmem.
Most of the patch is conversions from alloc_bootmem() to
memblock_virt_alloc(). In general a call such as:
p = (struct foo *)alloc_bootmem(x);
Becomes:
p = memblock_virt_alloc(x, 0);
We don't need the cast because memblock_virt_alloc() returns a void *.
The alignment value of zero tells memblock to use the default alignment,
which is SMP_CACHE_BYTES, the same value alloc_bootmem() uses.
We remove a number of NULL checks on the result of
memblock_virt_alloc(). That is because memblock_virt_alloc() will panic
if it can't allocate, in exactly the same way as alloc_bootmem(), so the
NULL checks are and always have been redundant.
The memory returned by memblock_virt_alloc() is already zeroed, so we
remove several memsets of the result of memblock_virt_alloc().
Finally we convert a few uses of __alloc_bootmem(x, y, MAX_DMA_ADDRESS)
to just plain memblock_virt_alloc(). We don't use memblock_alloc_base()
because MAX_DMA_ADDRESS is ~0ul on powerpc, so limiting the allocation
to that is pointless, 16XB ought to be enough for anyone.
