<content type='text'>
HMT_xxx macros are macros for adjusting thread priority
(hardware multi-threading) are macros inherited from PPC64
via commit 5f7c690728ac ("[PATCH] powerpc: Merged ppc_asm.h")

Those instructions are pointless on PPC32, but some common
fonctions like arch_cpu_idle() use them.

So make them empty on PPC32 to avoid those instructions.

<title>powerpc/vdso: Add support for time namespaces</title>

<id>urn:sha1:74205b3fc2effde821b219d955c70e727dc43cc6</id>
<content type='text'>
This patch adds the necessary glue to provide time namespaces.

Things are mainly copied from ARM64.

__arch_get_timens_vdso_data() calculates timens vdso data position
based on the vdso data position, knowing it is the next page in vvar.
This avoids having to redo the mflr/bcl/mflr/mtlr dance to locate
the page relative to running code position.

Pull powerpc updates from Michael Ellerman:

 - A large series adding wrappers for our interrupt handlers, so that
   irq/nmi/user tracking can be isolated in the wrappers rather than
   spread in each handler.

 - Conversion of the 32-bit syscall handling into C.

 - A series from Nick to streamline our TLB flushing when using the
   Radix MMU.

 - Switch to using queued spinlocks by default for 64-bit server CPUs.

 - A rework of our PCI probing so that it happens later in boot, when
   more generic infrastructure is available.

 - Two small fixes to allow 32-bit little-endian processes to run on
   64-bit kernels.

 - Other smaller features, fixes &amp; cleanups.

<content type='text'>
The second argument of __kernel_clock_gettime64 points to a struct
__kernel_timespec, with 64-bit time_t, so use the clock_gettime64
syscall in the fallback function for the 32-bit VDSO. Similarly,
clock_getres_fallback should use the clock_getres_time64 syscall,
though it isn't yet called from the 32-bit VDSO.

With the C VDSO, the performance is slightly lower, but it is worth
it as it will ease maintenance and evolution, and also brings clocks
that are not supported with the ASM VDSO.

On an 8xx at 132 MHz, vdsotest with the ASM VDSO:
  gettimeofday:    		  vdso:  828 nsec/call
  clock-getres-realtime-coarse:   vdso:  391 nsec/call
  clock-gettime-realtime-coarse:  vdso:  614 nsec/call
  clock-getres-realtime:    	  vdso:  460 nsec/call
  clock-gettime-realtime:    	  vdso:  876 nsec/call
  clock-getres-monotonic-coarse:  vdso:  399 nsec/call
  clock-gettime-monotonic-coarse: vdso:  691 nsec/call
  clock-getres-monotonic:    	  vdso:  460 nsec/call
  clock-gettime-monotonic:    	  vdso: 1026 nsec/call

On an 8xx at 132 MHz, vdsotest with the C VDSO:
  gettimeofday:    		  vdso:  955 nsec/call
  clock-getres-realtime-coarse:   vdso:  545 nsec/call
  clock-gettime-realtime-coarse:  vdso:  592 nsec/call
  clock-getres-realtime:          vdso:  545 nsec/call
  clock-gettime-realtime:    	  vdso:  941 nsec/call

  clock-getres-monotonic:         vdso:  545 nsec/call
  clock-gettime-monotonic:        vdso:  940 nsec/call

It is even better for gettime with monotonic clocks.

Unsupported clocks with ASM VDSO:
  clock-gettime-boottime:         vdso: 3851 nsec/call
  clock-gettime-tai:      	  vdso: 3852 nsec/call

  clock-gettime-monotonic-raw:    vdso: 1001 nsec/call
  clock-gettime-monotonic-coarse: vdso:  591 nsec/call

On an 8321E at 333 MHz, vdsotest with the ASM VDSO:
  gettimeofday:     		  vdso: 220 nsec/call
  clock-getres-realtime-coarse:   vdso: 102 nsec/call
  clock-gettime-realtime-coarse:  vdso: 178 nsec/call

  clock-getres-monotonic:         vdso: 129 nsec/call
  clock-gettime-monotonic:        vdso: 274 nsec/call

On an 8321E at 333 MHz, vdsotest with the C VDSO:
  gettimeofday:    		  vdso: 272 nsec/call
  clock-getres-realtime-coarse:   vdso: 160 nsec/call
  clock-gettime-realtime-coarse:  vdso: 184 nsec/call
  clock-getres-realtime:          vdso: 166 nsec/call
  clock-gettime-realtime:         vdso: 281 nsec/call

  clock-getres-monotonic:         vdso: 169 nsec/call
  clock-gettime-monotonic:        vdso: 275 nsec/call

On a Power9 Nimbus DD2.2 at 3.8GHz, with the ASM VDSO:
  clock-gettime-monotonic:    	  vdso:  35 nsec/call
  clock-getres-monotonic:    	  vdso:  16 nsec/call
