powerpc: replace #include <asm/export.h> with #include <linux/export.h> Commit ddb5cdbafaaa ("kbuild: generate KSYMTAB entries by modpost") deprecated <asm/export.h>, which is now a wrapper of <linux/export.h>. Replace #include <asm/export.h> with #include <linux/export.h>. After all the <asm/export.h> lines are converted, <asm/export.h> and <asm-generic/export.h> will be removed.

powerpc/64: vmlinux support building with PCREL addresing PC-Relative or PCREL addressing is an extension to the ELF ABI which uses Power ISA v3.1 PC-relative instructions to calculate addresses, rather than the traditional TOC scheme. Add an option to build vmlinux using pcrel addressing. Modules continue to use TOC addressing. - TOC address helpers and r2 are poisoned with -1 when running vmlinux. r2 could be used for something useful once things are ironed out. - Assembly must call C functions with @notoc annotation, or the linker complains aobut a missing nop after the call. This is done with the CFUNC macro introduced earlier. - Boot: with the exception of prom_init, the execution branches to the kernel virtual address early in boot, before any addresses are generated, which ensures 34-bit pcrel addressing does not miss the high PAGE_OFFSET bits. TOC relative addressing has a similar requirement. prom_init does not go to the virtual address and its addresses should not carry over to the post-prom kernel. - Ftrace trampolines are converted from TOC addressing to pcrel addressing, including module ftrace trampolines that currently use the kernel TOC to find ftrace target functions. - BPF function prologue and function calling generation are converted from TOC to pcrel. - copypage_64.S has an interesting problem, prefixed instructions have alignment restrictions so the linker can add padding, which makes the assembler treat the difference between two local labels as non-constant even if alignment is arranged so padding is not required. This may need toolchain help to solve nicely, for now move the prefix instruction out of the alternate patch section to work around it. This reduces kernel text size by about 6%.

powerpc/64s: Set assembler machine type to POWER4 Rather than override the machine type in .S code (which can hide wrong or ambiguous code generation for the target), set the type to power4 for all assembly.

powerpc/64: Fix naming of cache block vs. cache line In a number of places we called "cache line size" what is actually the cache block size, which in the powerpc architecture, means the effective size to use with cache management instructions (it can be different from the actual cache line size). We fix the naming across the board and properly retrieve both pieces of information when available in the device-tree.

powerpc: POWER7 optimised copy_page using VMX and enhanced prefetch Implement a POWER7 optimised copy_page using VMX and enhanced prefetch instructions. We use enhanced prefetch hints to prefetch both the load and store side. We copy a cacheline at a time and fall back to regular loads and stores if we are unable to use VMX (eg we are in an interrupt). The following microbenchmark was used to assess the impact of the patch: http://ozlabs.org/~anton/junkcode/page_fault_file.c We test MAP_PRIVATE page faults across a 1GB file, 100 times: # time ./page_fault_file -p -l 1G -i 100 Before: 22.25s After: 18.89s 17% faster Signed-off-by: Anton Blanchard <anton@samba.org> Signed-off-by: Benjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org>

powerpc: New copy_4K_page() 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.

[PATCH] ppc64: support 64k pages Adds a new CONFIG_PPC_64K_PAGES which, when enabled, changes the kernel base page size to 64K. The resulting kernel still boots on any hardware. On current machines with 4K pages support only, the kernel will maintain 16 "subpages" for each 64K page transparently. Note that while real 64K capable HW has been tested, the current patch will not enable it yet as such hardware is not released yet, and I'm still verifying with the firmware architects the proper to get the information from the newer hypervisors.
