This patch add VMX primitives to do memcmp() in case the compare size
is equal or greater than 4K bytes. KSM feature can benefit from this.
Test result with following test program(replace the "^>" with ""):
------
># cat tools/testing/selftests/powerpc/stringloops/memcmp.c
>#include <malloc.h>
>#include <stdlib.h>
>#include <string.h>
>#include <time.h>
>#include "utils.h"
>#define SIZE (1024 * 1024 * 900)
>#define ITERATIONS 40
int test_memcmp(const void *s1, const void *s2, size_t n);
static int testcase(void)
{
char *s1;
char *s2;
unsigned long i;
s1 = memalign(128, SIZE);
if (!s1) {
perror("memalign");
exit(1);
}
s2 = memalign(128, SIZE);
if (!s2) {
perror("memalign");
exit(1);
}
for (i = 0; i < SIZE; i++) {
s1[i] = i & 0xff;
s2[i] = i & 0xff;
}
for (i = 0; i < ITERATIONS; i++) {
int ret = test_memcmp(s1, s2, SIZE);
if (ret) {
printf("return %d at[%ld]! should have returned zero\n", ret, i);
abort();
}
}
return 0;
}
int main(void)
{
return test_harness(testcase, "memcmp");
}
------
Without this patch (but with the first patch "powerpc/64: Align bytes
before fall back to .Lshort in powerpc64 memcmp()." in the series):
4.726728762 seconds time elapsed ( +- 3.54%)
With VMX patch:
4.234335473 seconds time elapsed ( +- 2.63%)
There is ~+10% improvement.
Testing with unaligned and different offset version (make s1 and s2 shift
random offset within 16 bytes) can archieve higher improvement than 10%..

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.
This also means we need to be careful not to build power4-only code
when we're not building for Book3S, such as the "power7" versions of
copyuser/page/memcpy.

binutils >= 2.26 now warns about misuse of register expressions in
assembler operands that are actually literals, for example:
arch/powerpc/kernel/entry_64.S:535: Warning: invalid register expression
In practice these are almost all uses of r0 that should just be a
literal 0.

As our various loops (copy, string, crypto etc) get more complicated,
we want to share implementations between userspace (eg glibc) and
the kernel. We also want to write userspace test harnesses to put
in tools/testing/selftest.
One gratuitous difference between userspace and the kernel is the
VMX register definitions - the kernel uses vrX whereas both gcc and
glibc use vX.
Change the kernel to match userspace.

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.

binutils is smart enough to know that a branch to a function
descriptor is actually a branch to the functions text address.
Alan tells me that binutils has been doing this for 9 years.

Anything that uses a constructed instruction (ie. from ppc-opcode.h),
need to use the new R0 macro, as %r0 is not going to work.
Also convert usages of macros where we are just determining an offset
(usually for a load/store), like:
std r14,STK_REG(r14)(r1)
Can't use STK_REG(r14) as %r14 doesn't work in the STK_REG macro since
it's just calculating an offset.

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
