VSX vector paired instructions operates with octword (32-byte) operand
for loads and stores between storage and a pair of two sequential Vector-Scalar
Registers (VSRs). There are 4 word instructions and 2 prefixed instructions
that provides this 32-byte storage access operations - lxvp, lxvpx,
VSX Vector Paired instructions loads/stores an octword (32 bytes)
from/to storage into two sequential VSRs. Add `analyse_instr()` support
to these new instructions,
* Load VSX Vector Paired (lxvp)
* Load VSX Vector Paired Indexed (lxvpx)
* Prefixed Load VSX Vector Paired

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.
POWER10 introduces two new variants of dcbf instructions (dcbstps and dcbfps)
that can be used to write modified locations back to persistent storage.
Additionally, POWER10 also introduce phwsync and plwsync which can be used
to establish order of these writes to persistent storage.
This patch
The PAPR based virtualized persistent memory devices are only supported on
POWER9 and above. In the followup patch, the kernel will switch the persistent
memory cache flush functions to use a new `dcbf` variant instruction. The new
instructions even though added in ISA 3.1 works even on P8 and P9

Hi Hari,
is there any good reason to add two more functions with a very similar
name to an existing function? AFAICS all you need is a way to call a
PPC64-specific function from within kexec_add_buffer (PATCH 4/11), so
you could add something like this:

Because it uses the "m<>" constraint which didn't work on GCC 4.6.

So we should be able to
In note_page(), the pg_state is updated the same way in two places.
Add note_page_update_state() to do it.
Also include the display of boundary markers there as it is missing
"no level" leg, leading to a mismatch when the first two markers
are at the same address and the first displayed area
st->last_pa is always updated in note_page() so it can
be done outside the if/elseif/else block.

When STRICT_KERNEL_RWX is set, we want to set NX bit on vmalloc
segments. But modules require exec.
Use a dedicated segment for modules. There is not much space
above kernel, and we don't waste vmalloc space to do alignment.
Therefore, we take the segment before PAGE_OFFSET for modules.
Use is_vmalloc_or_module_addr() instead of is_vmalloc_addr()

In order to allow allocation of modules outside of vmalloc space,
use MODULES_VADDR and MODULES_END when MODULES_VADDR is defined.
Redefine module_alloc() when MODULES_VADDR defined.
Unmap corresponding KASAN shadow memory.

Instead of leaving NX unset on all segments above the start

User space stops at TASK_SIZE. At the moment, kernel space starts
at PAGE_OFFSET.
In order to use space between TASK_SIZE and PAGE_OFFSET for modules,
make TASK_SIZE the limit between user and kernel space.
Note that fault.c already considers TASK_SIZE as the boundary between
user and kernel
On book3s32 (hash), exec protection is set per 256Mb segments with NX bit.
Instead of clearing NX bit on vmalloc space when CONFIG_MODULES is selected,
allocate modules in a dedicated segment (0xb000-0xbfff by default).
This allows to keep exec protection on vmalloc space while allowing

The only known user of "smt_snooze_delay" is the "ppc64_cpu"
Tejun Heo had modified shared_cpu_map_show to use scnprintf instead of
cpumap_print during support for *pb[l] format.
Refer commit 0c118b7bd09a ("powerpc: use %*pb[l] to print bitmaps including
cpumasks and nodemasks")
cpumap_print_to_pagebuf is a standard function to print cpumap. With

Unlike drivers/base/cacheinfo, powerpc cacheinfo code is not exposing
shared_cpu_list under /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu/cache/index
Add shared_cpu_list to per cpu per index directory to maintain parity
with x86. Some scripts (example: mmtests
https://github.com/gormanm/mmtests) seem to be
In anticipation of implementing shared_cpu_list, move code under
shared_cpu_map_show to a common function.
No functional changes.
