<content type='text'>
Start using dcbstps; phwsync; sequence for flushing persistent memory range.
The new instructions are implemented as a variant of dcbf and hwsync and on
P8 and P9 they will be executed as those instructions. We avoid using them on
older hardware. This helps to avoid difficult to debug bugs.

<content type='text'>
The function currently known as flush_icache_user_range only operates on
a single page.  Rename it to flush_icache_user_page as we'll need the
name flush_icache_user_range for something else soon.

Power needs almost no cache flushing routines of its own.  Rely on
asm-generic/cacheflush.h for the defaults.

Also remove the pointless __KERNEL__ ifdef while we're at it.

As per ISA an isync is only needed on instruction cache block
invalidate. Remove the same from dcache invalidate.

<title>powerpc: Convert flush_icache_range &amp; friends to C</title>

<id>urn:sha1:23eb7f560a2a6a1b0dbaaaae8685da75314347e4</id>
<content type='text'>
Similar to commit 22e9c88d486a
("powerpc/64: reuse PPC32 static inline flush_dcache_range()")
this patch converts the following ASM symbols to C:
    flush_icache_range()
    __flush_dcache_icache()
    __flush_dcache_icache_phys()

This was done as we discovered a long-standing bug where the length of the
range was truncated due to using a 32 bit shift instead of a 64 bit one.

By converting these functions to C, it becomes easier to maintain.

flush_dcache_icache_phys() retains a critical assembler section as we must
ensure there are no memory accesses while the data MMU is disabled
(authored by Christophe Leroy). Since this has no external callers, it has
also been made static, allowing the compiler to inline it within
flush_dcache_icache_page().

Pull powerpc updates from Michael Ellerman:
 "Notable changes:

   - Removal of the NPU DMA code, used by the out-of-tree Nvidia driver,
     as well as some other functions only used by drivers that haven't
     (yet?) made it upstream.

   - A fix for a bug in our handling of hardware watchpoints (eg. perf
     record -e mem: ...) which could lead to register corruption and
     kernel crashes.

   - Enable HAVE_ARCH_HUGE_VMAP, which allows us to use large pages for
     vmalloc when using the Radix MMU.

   - A large but incremental rewrite of our exception handling code to
     use gas macros rather than multiple levels of nested CPP macros.

  And the usual small fixes, cleanups and improvements.

This patch drops the assembly PPC64 version of flush_dcache_range()
and re-uses the PPC32 static inline version.

With GCC 8.1, the following code is generated:

void flush_test(unsigned long start, unsigned long stop)
{
	flush_dcache_range(start, stop);
}

<id>urn:sha1:1cfb725fb1899dc6fdc88f8b5354a65e8ad260c6</id>
<content type='text'>
On most arches having function flush_dcache_range(), including PPC32,
this function does a writeback and invalidation of the cache bloc.

On PPC64, flush_dcache_range() only does a writeback while
flush_inval_dcache_range() does the invalidation in addition.

In addition it looks like within arch/powerpc/, there are no PPC64
platforms using flush_dcache_range()

This patch drops the existing 64 bits version of flush_dcache_range()
and renames flush_inval_dcache_range() into flush_dcache_range().
