powerpc: Move cpu_has_feature() to a separate file

2016-08-01T01:15:03+00:00

We plan to use jump label for cpu_has_feature(). In order to implement this we need to include the linux/jump_label.h in asm/cputable.h. Unfortunately if we do that it leads to an include loop. The root of the problem seems to be that reg.h needs cputable.h (for CPU_FTRs), and then cputable.h via jump_label.h eventually pulls in hw_irq.h which needs reg.h (for MSR_EE). So move cpu_has_feature() to a separate file on its own.

powerpc: Add VMX optimised xor for RAID5

2013-10-30T05:02:28+00:00

Add a VMX optimised xor, used primarily for RAID5. On a POWER7 blade this is a decent win: 32regs : 17932.800 MB/sec altivec : 19724.800 MB/sec The bigger gain is when the same test is run in SMT4 mode, as it would if there was a lot of work going on: 8regs : 8377.600 MB/sec altivec : 15801.600 MB/sec I tested this against an array created without the patch, and also verified it worked as expected on a little endian kernel.

powerpc: Move include files to arch/powerpc/include/asm

2008-08-04T02:02:00+00:00

from include/asm-powerpc. This is the result of a mkdir arch/powerpc/include/asm git mv include/asm-powerpc/* arch/powerpc/include/asm Followed by a few documentation/comment fixups and a couple of places where was being used explicitly. Of the latter only one was outside the arch code and it is a driver only built for powerpc. Signed-off-by: Stephen Rothwell Signed-off-by: Paul Mackerras
