opal_put_chars deals with partial writes because in OPALv1,
opal_console_write_buffer_space did not work correctly. That firmware
is not supported.
This reworks the opal_put_chars code to no longer deal with partial
writes by turning them into full writes. Partial write handling is still
supported in terms of what gets returned to the caller, but it may not
go to the console atomically. A warning message is printed in this
case.
This allows console flushing to be moved out of the opal_write_lock
spinlock. That could cause the lock to be held for long periods if the
console is busy (especially if it was being spammed by firmware),
which is dangerous because the lock is taken by xmon to debug the
system. Flushing outside the lock improves the situation a bit.

The intention here is to consume and discard the remaining buffer
upon error. This works if there has not been a previous partial write.
If there has been, then total_len is no longer total number of bytes
to copy. total_len is always "bytes left to copy", so it should be
added to written bytes.
This code may not be exercised any more if partial writes will not be

[mpe: Add -maltivec to fix build on some toolchains]
Signed-off-by: Michael Ellerman <mpe@ellerman.id.au>
This patch is based on the previous VMX patch on memcmp().
To optimize ppc64 memcmp() with VMX instruction, we need to think about
the VMX penalty brought with: If kernel uses VMX instruction, it needs
to save/restore current thread's VMX registers. There are 32 x 128 bits
VMX registers in PPC, which means 32 x 16 = 512 bytes for load and store.
The major concern regarding the memcmp() performance in kernel is KSM,
who will use memcmp() frequently to merge identical pages. So it will
make sense to take some measures/enhancement on KSM to see whether any
improvement can be done here. Cyril Bur indicates that the memcmp() for
KSM has a higher possibility to fail (unmatch) early in previous bytes
in following mail.
https://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/817322/#1773629
And I am taking a follow-up on this with this patch.
Per some testing, it shows KSM memcmp() will fail early at previous 32
bytes. More specifically:
- 76% cases will fail/unmatch before 16 bytes;
- 83% cases will fail/unmatch before 32 bytes;
- 84% cases will fail/unmatch before 64 bytes;
So 32 bytes looks a better choice than other bytes for pre-checking.
The early failure is also true for memcmp() for non-KSM case. With a
non-typical call load, it shows ~73% cases fail before first 32 bytes.
This patch adds a 32 bytes pre-checking firstly before jumping into VMX
operations, to avoid the unnecessary VMX penalty. It is not limited to
KSM case. And the testing shows ~20% improvement on memcmp() average
execution time with this patch.
And note the 32B pre-checking is only performed when the compare size
is long enough (>=4K currently) to allow VMX operation.

Currently memcmp() 64bytes version in powerpc will fall back to .Lshort
(compare per byte mode) if either src or dst address is not 8 bytes aligned.
It can be opmitized in 2 situations:
1) if both addresses are with the same offset with 8 bytes boundary:
memcmp() can compare the unaligned bytes within 8 bytes boundary firstly
and then compare the rest 8-bytes-aligned content with .Llong mode.
2) If src/dst addrs are not with the same offset of 8 bytes boundary:
memcmp() can align src addr with 8 bytes, increment dst addr accordingly,
then load src with aligned mode and load dst with unaligned mode.
This patch optmizes memcmp() behavior in the above 2 situations.
Tested with both little/big endian. Performance result below is based on
little endian.

With SPARSEMEM config enabled, we make sure that we don't add sections beyond
MAX_PHYSMEM_BITS range. This results in not building vmemmap mapping for
range beyond max range. But our memblock layer looks the device tree and create
mapping for the full memory range. Prevent this by checking against
MAX_PHSYSMEM_BITS when doing memblock_add.
We don't do similar check for memeblock_reserve_range. If reserve range is beyond
MAX_PHYSMEM_BITS we expect that to be configured with 'nomap'. Any other
reserved range should come from existing memblock ranges which we already
filtered while adding.
This avoids crash as below when running on a system with system ram config above

it and always wait synchronously.
The synchronous wait allows the caller to easily time out and clear

When the masked interrupt handler clears MSR[EE] for an interrupt in

This makes them get out of synch.
With that taken into account, it's only low level irq manipulation
(and interrupt entry before reconcile) where they can be out of synch.
This makes the code less surprising.
It also allows the IRQ replay code to rely on the IRQ_HARD_DIS value
and not have to mtmsrd again in this case (e.g., for an external
interrupt that has been masked). The bigger benefit might just be
that there is not such an element of surprise in these two bits of

Applications need the ability to associate an address-range with some
key and latter revert to its initial default key. Pkey-0 comes close to
providing this function but falls short, because the current
implementation disallows applications to explicitly associate pkey-0 to
the address range.
Lets make pkey-0 less special and treat it almost like any other key.
Thus it can be explicitly associated with any address range, and can be
freed. This gives the application more flexibility and power. The
ability to free pkey-0 must be used responsibily, since pkey-0 is
associated with almost all address-range by default.
Even with this change pkey-0 continues to be slightly more special
from the following point of view.
(a) it is implicitly allocated.
(b) it is the default key assigned to any address-range.
(c) its permissions cannot be modified by userspace.
NOTE: (c) is specific to powerpc only. pkey-0 is associated by default
with all pages including kernel pages, and pkeys are also active in
kernel mode. If any permission is denied on pkey-0, the kernel running
in the context of the application will be unable to operate.
