powerpc/selftests/copyloops: extend selftest to exercise __copy_tofrom_user_power7_vmx

2026-03-12T05:33:48+00:00

The new PowerPC VMX fast path (__copy_tofrom_user_power7_vmx) is not exercised by existing copyloops selftests. This patch updates the selftest to exercise the VMX variant, ensuring the VMX copy path is validated. Changes include: - COPY_LOOP=test___copy_tofrom_user_power7_vmx with -D VMX_TEST is used in existing selftest build targets. - Inclusion of ../utils.c to provide get_auxv_entry() for hardware feature detection. - At runtime, the test skips execution if Altivec is not available. - Copy sizes above VMX_COPY_THRESHOLD are used to ensure the VMX path is taken. This enables validation of the VMX fast path without affecting systems that do not support Altivec.

powerpc: Replace ASSEMBLY with ASSEMBLER in non-uapi headers

2025-09-01T07:53:29+00:00

While the GCC and Clang compilers already define __ASSEMBLER__ automatically when compiling assembler code, __ASSEMBLY__ is a macro that only gets defined by the Makefiles in the kernel. This is bad since macros starting with two underscores are names that are reserved by the C language. It can also be very confusing for the developers when switching between userspace and kernelspace coding, or when dealing with uapi headers that rather should use __ASSEMBLER__ instead. So let's standardize now on the __ASSEMBLER__ macro that is provided by the compilers. This is almost a completely mechanical patch (done with a simple "sed -i" statement), apart from tweaking two comments manually in arch/powerpc/include/asm/bug.h and arch/powerpc/include/asm/kasan.h (which did not have proper underscores at the end) and fixing a checkpatch error about spaces in arch/powerpc/include/asm/spu_csa.h.
