This series attempts to improve the speed of interrupts and system calls
in three major ways.
Firstly, the SRR/HSRR registers do not need to be reloaded if they were
clobbered for the duration of the interrupt and the return NIP and MSR
did not changed. 64e does not implement this part, but it could quite
easily.
Secondly, mtmsrd and mtspr are reduced by various means, this is mostly
specific to 64s.
Lastly, an alternate interrupt return location facility is added for
soft-masked asynchronous interrupts, and then that's used to set
everything up for return without having to disable MSR RI or EE.
After this series, the entire system call / interrupt handler fast path
can execute with no mtsprs and one mtmsrd to enable interrupts
initially, and the system call vectored path doesn't even need to do
that. This gives a decent performance benefit. On POWER9 with a
powernv_defconfig without VIRT_CPU_ACCOUNTING_NATIVE, no meltdown
workarounds, gettid sc system call goes from 481 -> 344 cycles, gettid
scv 345->299 cycles, and page fault 1225->1064 cycles.
Since v3:
- Added Christophe's series to the end (with one broken out patch
at the start and minor tweaks).
- Fix lbz of SOFTE that broke on BE, should be loaded with ld.
- Fix case where fast_interrupt_return was not marking SRRs as
clobbered correctly, causing random userspace segfaults etc.
- Fix cpu lock inversion problem in the workaround static branch
switching code.
- Removed the .L local name from some labels for the restart
handlers, which makes the disassembly easier to read.
- Fixed several nitpicks found by kbuild robot (duplicate include,
missing prototypes, etc).
- Fix 64e compile bug [from mpe].
- Fix KUAP re-locking in some restart cases.
