/*
 * arch/alpha/lib/ev6-clear_user.S
 * 21264 version contributed by Rick Gorton <rick.gorton@alpha-processor.com>
 *
 * Zero user space, handling exceptions as we go.
 *
 * We have to make sure that $0 is always up-to-date and contains the
 * right "bytes left to zero" value (and that it is updated only _after_
 * a successful copy).  There is also some rather minor exception setup
 * stuff.
 *
 * NOTE! This is not directly C-callable, because the calling semantics
 * are different:
 *
 * Inputs:
 *	length in $0
 *	destination address in $6
 *	exception pointer in $7
 *	return address in $28 (exceptions expect it there)
 *
 * Outputs:
 *	bytes left to copy in $0
 *
 * Clobbers:
 *	$1,$2,$3,$4,$5,$6
 *
 * Much of the information about 21264 scheduling/coding comes from:
 *	Compiler Writer's Guide for the Alpha 21264
 *	abbreviated as 'CWG' in other comments here
 *	ftp.digital.com/pub/Digital/info/semiconductor/literature/dsc-library.html
 * Scheduling notation:
 *	E	- either cluster
 *	U	- upper subcluster; U0 - subcluster U0; U1 - subcluster U1
 *	L	- lower subcluster; L0 - subcluster L0; L1 - subcluster L1
 * Try not to change the actual algorithm if possible for consistency.
 * Determining actual stalls (other than slotting) doesn't appear to be easy to do.
 * From perusing the source code context where this routine is called, it is
 * a fair assumption that significant fractions of entire pages are zeroed, so
 * it's going to be worth the effort to hand-unroll a big loop, and use wh64.
 * ASSUMPTION:
 *	The believed purpose of only updating $0 after a store is that a signal
 *	may come along during the execution of this chunk of code, and we don't
 *	want to leave a hole (and we also want to avoid repeating lots of work)
