Rewrite the cxl_guest_init_afu() loop in cxl_of_probe() to use for_each_child_of_node() rather than a hand-coded for loop. Remove the useless of_node_put(afu_np) call after the loop, where it's guaranteed that afu_np == NULL. Reported-by:

If the capi link is going down while the PSL owns a dirty cache line, any access from the host for that data could lead to an Uncorrectable Error. So when resetting the capi adapter through sysfs, make sure the PSL cache is flushed. It won't help if there are any active Process Elements on the card, as the cache would likely get new dirty cache lines immediately, but if resetting an idle adapter, it should avoid any bad surprises from data left over from terminated Process Elements.

We supported POWER7 CPUs for bootstrapping little endian, but the target was always POWER8. Now that POWER7 specific issues are impacting performance, change the default target to POWER8. Signed-off-by:

POWER8 handles unaligned accesses in little endian mode, but commit 0b5e6661 ("powerpc: Don't set HAVE_EFFICIENT_UNALIGNED_ACCESS on little endian builds") disabled it for all. The issue with unaligned little endian accesses is specific to POWER7, so update the Kconfig check to match. Using the stat() testcase from commit a75c380c ("powerpc: Enable DCACHE_WORD_ACCESS on ppc64le"), performance improves 15% on POWER8. Signed-off-by:

I see quite a lot of static branch mispredictions on a simple web serving workload. The issue is in __atomic_add_unless(), called from _atomic_dec_and_lock(). There is no obvious common case, so it is better to let the hardware predict the branch. Signed-off-by:

During context switch, switch_mm() sets our current CPU in mm_cpumask. We can avoid this atomic sequence in most cases by checking before setting the bit. Testing on a POWER8 using our context switch microbenchmark: tools/testing/selftests/powerpc/benchmarks/context_switch \ --process --no-fp --no-altivec --no-vector Performance improves 2%.

No real need for this to be pr_warn(), reduce it to pr_info(). Signed-off-by:

We are starting to see i40e adapters in recent machines, so enable it in our configs. Signed-off-by:

Change a few devices and filesystems that are seldom used any more from built in to modules. This reduces our vmlinux about 500kB. Signed-off-by:

When we issue a system reset, every CPU in the box prints an Oops, including a backtrace. Each of these can be quite large (over 4kB) and we may end up wrapping the ring buffer and losing important information. Bump the base size from 128kB to 256kB and the per CPU size from 4kB to 8kB.

We see big improvements with the VMX crypto functions (often 10x or more), so enable it as a module. Signed-off-by:

Align the hot loops in our assembly implementation of memset() and backwards_memcpy(). backwards_memcpy() is called from tcp_v4_rcv(), so we might want to optimise this a little more. Signed-off-by:

This was not done before the big patches because I only noticed them afterwards. It has become much easier to see which handlers are branched to from which exception vectors now, and to see exactly what vector space is being used for what. Signed-off-by:

Simple substitution. This is possible now that both parts of the OOL initial handler get linked into their correct location. Signed-off-by:

This is not an exception handler as such, it's called from local_irq_enable(), not exception entry. Also clean up some now redundant comments at the end of the consolidation series. Signed-off-by:
