We have a powerpc specific global called mem_init_done which is "set on
boot once kmalloc can be called".
But that's not *quite* true. We set it at the bottom of mem_init(), and
rely on the fact that mm_init() calls kmem_cache_init() immediately
after that, and nothing is running in parallel.
So replace it with the generic and 100% correct slab_is_available().

Export __spin_yield so that the arch_spin_unlock() function can
be invoked from a module. This will be required for modules where
we want to take a lock that is also is acquired in hypervisor
real mode. Because we want to avoid running any lockdep code
(which may not be safe in real mode), this lock needs to be
an arch_spinlock_t instead of a normal spinlock.

As our various loops (copy, string, crypto etc) get more complicated,
we want to share implementations between userspace (eg glibc) and

One gratuitous difference between userspace and the kernel is the

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.

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.

This splits out the instruction analysis part of emulate_step() into
a separate analyse_instr() function, which decodes the instruction,
but doesn't execute any load or store instructions. It does execute
integer instructions and branches which can be executed purely by
updating register values in the pt_regs struct. For other instructions,
it returns the instruction type and other details in a new
instruction_op struct. emulate_step() then uses that information
to execute loads, stores, cache operations, mfmsr, mtmsr[d], and
(on 64-bit) sc instructions.
The reason for doing this is so that the KVM code can use it instead
of having its own separate instruction emulation code. Possibly the
alignment interrupt handler could also use this.

Similar to the previous commit which described why we need to add a
barrier to arch_spin_is_locked(), we have a similar problem with
spin_unlock_wait().
We need a barrier on entry to ensure any spinlock we have previously
taken is visibly locked prior to the load of lock->slock.
It's also not clear if spin_unlock_wait() is intended to have ACQUIRE
semantics. For now be conservative and add a barrier on exit to give it
ACQUIRE semantics.

Unaligned stores take alignment exceptions on POWER7 running in little-endian.
This is a dumb little-endian base memcpy that prevents unaligned stores.
Once booted the feature fixup code switches over to the VMX copy loops
(which are already endian safe).
The question is what we do before that switch over. The base 64bit
memcpy takes alignment exceptions on POWER7 so we can't use it as is.
Fixing the causes of alignment exception would slow it down, because
we'd need to ensure all loads and stores are aligned either through
rotate tricks or bytewise loads and stores. Either would be bad for
all other 64bit platforms.

Some of the assembler files in lib/ make use of the fact that in the
ELFv1 ABI, the caller guarantees to provide stack space to save the
parameter registers r3 ... r10. This guarantee is no longer present
in ELFv2 for functions that have no variable argument list and no
more than 8 arguments.
Change the affected routines to temporarily store registers in the
red zone and/or the top of their own stack frame (in the space
provided to save r31 .. r29, which is actually not used in these
routines).
In opal_query_takeover, simply always allocate a stack frame;
the routine is not performance critical.

The powerpc 64-bit __copy_tofrom_user() function uses shifts to handle

We've been keeping that field in thread_struct for a while, it contains
the "limit" of the current stack pointer and is meant to be used for
detecting stack overflows.
It has a few problems however:
- First, it was never actually *used* on 64-bit. Set and updated but
not actually exploited
- When switching stack to/from irq and softirq stacks, it's update
is racy unless we hard disable interrupts, which is costly. This
is fine on 32-bit as we don't soft-disable there but not on 64-bit.
Thus rather than fixing 2 in order to implement 1 in some hypothetical
future, let's remove the code completely from 64-bit. In order to avoid
a clutter of ifdef's, we remove the updates from C code completely
during interrupt stack switching, and instead maintain it from the
asm helper that is used to do the stack switching in the first place.
