8e3e50168c [IA64] need r29=psr *after* rsm psr.i
Yanmin Zhang pointed out a sequence problem when saving the psr.  David
Mosberger provided this patch (which gave up a cycle).

e7e965fa19 [IA64] use srlz.d instead of srlz.i in ia64_leave_kernel()
This patch switches the srlz.i in ia64_leave_kernel() to srlz.d.  As
per architecture manual, the former is needed only to ensure that the
clearing of PSR.IC is seen by the VHPT for subsequent instruction
fetches.  However, since the remainder of the code (up to and
including the RFI instruction) is mapped by a pinned TLB entry, there
is no chance of an iTLB miss and we don't care whether or not the VHPT
sees PSR.IC cleared.  Since srlz.d is substantially cheaper than
srlz.i, this should shave off a few cycles off the interrupt path
(unverified though; I'm not setup to measure this at the moment).

1ba7be7d69 [IA64] Reschedule fsys_bubble_down().
Improvements come from eliminating srlz.i, not scheduling AR/CR-reads
too early (while there are others still pending), scheduling the
backing-store switch as well as possible, splitting the BBB bundle
into a MIB/MBB pair.

Why is it safe to eliminate the srlz.i?  Observe
that we used to clear bits ~PSR_PRESERVED_BITS in PSR.L.  Since
PSR_PRESERVED_BITS==PSR.{UP,MFL,MFH,PK,DT,PP,SP,RT,IC}, we
ended up clearing PSR.{BE,AC,I,DFL,DFH,DI,DB,SI,TB}.  However,

 PSR.BE : already is turned off in __kernel_syscall_via_epc()
 PSR.AC : don't care (kernel normally turns PSR.AC on)
 PSR.I  : already turned off by the time fsys_bubble_down gets invoked
 PSR.DFL: always 0 (kernel never turns it on)
 PSR.DFH: don't care --- kernel never touches f32-f127 on its own
	  initiative
 PSR.DI : always 0 (kernel never turns it on)
 PSR.SI : always 0 (kernel never turns it on)
 PSR.DB : don't care --- kernel never enables kernel-level breakpoints
 PSR.TB : must be 0 already; if it wasn't zero on entry to
	  __kernel_syscall_via_epc, the branch to fsys_bubble_down
	  will trigger a taken branch; the taken-trap-handler then
	  converts the syscall into a break-based system-call.

In other words: all the bits we're clearying are either 0 already or
are don't cares!  Thus, we don't have to write PSR.L at all and we
don't have to do a srlz.i either.

Good for another ~20 cycle improvement for EPC-based heavy-weight
syscalls.

Two other very minor changes: use "mov.i" instead of "mov" for reading
ar.pfs (for clarity; doesn't affect the code at all).  Also, predicate

70929a57cf [IA64] Reschedule __kernel_syscall_via_epc().
Avoid some stalls, which is good for about 2 cycles when invoking a
light-weight handler.  When invoking a heavy-weight handler, this
helps by about 7 cycles, with most of the improvement coming from the
improved branch-prediction achieved by splitting the BBB bundle into
two MIB bundles.

f8fa5448fc [IA64] Reschedule break_fault() for better performance.
This patch reorganizes break_fault() to optimistically assume that a
system-call is being performed from user-space (which is almost always
the case).  If it turns out that (a) we're not being called due to a
system call or (b) we're being called from within the kernel, we fixup
the no-longer-valid assumptions in non_syscall() and .break_fixup(),
respectively.

With this approach, there are 3 major phases:

 - Phase 1: Read various control & application registers, in
	    particular the current task pointer from AR.K6.
 - Phase 2: Do all memory loads (load system-call entry,
	    load current_thread_info()->flags, prefetch
	    kernel register-backing store) and switch
	    to kernel register-stack.
 - Phase 3: Call ia64_syscall_setup() and invoke
	    syscall-handler.

Good for 26-30 cycles of improvement on break-based syscall-path.

87e522a0f7 [IA64] Schedule ia64_leave_syscall() to read ar.bsp earlier
Reschedule code to read ar.bsp as early as possible.  To enable this,
don't bother clearing some of the registers when we're returning to
kernel stacks.  Also, instead of trying to support the pNonSys case
(which makes no sense), do a bugcheck instead (with break 0).  Finally,
remove a clear of r14 which is a left-over from the previous patch.

060561ff79 [IA64] In syscall-entry, use st8 instead of stf8 to clear pt_regs.r8
Using stf8 seemed like a clever idea at the time, but stf8 forces
the cache-line to be invalidated in the L1D (if it happens to be
there already).  This patch eliminates a guaranteed L1D cache-miss
and, by itself, is good for a 1-2 cycle improvement for heavy-weight
syscalls.

96e017495e [IA64] On return from syscall, hint b7 with __kernel_syscall_via_epc().
Why is this a good idea?  Clearing b7 to 0 is guaranteed to do us no
good and writing it with __kernel_syscall_via_epc() yields a 6 cycle
improvement _if_ the application performs another EPC-based system-
call without overwriting b7, which is not all that uncommon.  Well
worth the minimal cost of 1 bundle of code.
