Powerpc is the only architecture having _inatomic variants of
__get_user() and __put_user() accessors. They were introduced
by commit e68c825bb0 ("[POWERPC] Add inatomic versions of __get_user
and __put_user").
Those variants expand to the _nosleep macros instead of expanding
to the _nocheck macros. The only difference between the _nocheck
and the _nosleep macros is the call to might_fault().
Since commit 662bbcb274 ("mm, sched: Allow uaccess in atomic with
pagefault_disable()"), __get/put_user() can be used in atomic parts
of the code, therefore __get/put_user_inatomic() have become useless.
Remove __get_user_inatomic() and __put_user_inatomic().

call_do_irq() and call_do_softirq() are simple enough to be
worth inlining.
Inlining them avoids an mflr/mtlr pair plus a save/reload on stack.
This is inspired from S390 arch. Several other arches do more or
less the same. The way sparc arch does seems odd thought.

Unlike the other MSR_TM_* macros, MSR_TM_ACTIVE does not reference or
use its parameter unless CONFIG_PPC_TRANSACTIONAL_MEM is defined. This
causes an 'unused variable' compile warning unless the variable is also
guarded with CONFIG_PPC_TRANSACTIONAL_MEM.
Reference but do nothing with the argument in the macro to avoid a

49a7d46a06 (powerpc: Implement smp_cond_load_relaxed()) added
busy-waiting pausing with a preferred SMT priority pattern, lowering
the priority (reducing decode cycles) during the whole loop slowpath.
However, data shows that while this pattern works well with simple
spinlocks, queued spinlocks benefit more being kept in medium priority,
with a cpu_relax() instead, being a low+medium combo on powerpc.
Data is from three benchmarks on a Power9: 9008-22L 64 CPUs with
2 sockets and 8 threads per core.
1. locktorture.
This is data for the lowest and most artificial/pathological level,
with increasing thread counts pounding on the lock. Metrics are total
ops/minute. Despite some small hits in the 4-8 range, scenarios are
either neutral or favorable to this patch.

Here a client will do one-way throughput tests to a localhost server, with
increasing message sizes, dealing with the sk_lock. This patch shows to put
the performance of the qspinlock back to par with that of the simple lock:
simple-spinlock vanilla dirty

there is really nothing to go by:

Hmean 512 14891.27 ( 0.00%) 15162.11 * 1.82%*

c6f5d02b6a (locking/spinlocks/arm64: Remove smp_mb() from
arch_spin_is_locked()) made it pretty official that the call
semantics do not imply any sort of barriers, and any user that
gets creative must explicitly do any serialization.
This creativity, however, is nowadays pretty limited:
1. spin_unlock_wait() has been removed from the kernel in favor
of a lock/unlock combo. Furthermore, queued spinlocks have now
for a number of years no longer relied on _Q_LOCKED_VAL for the
call, but any non-zero value to indicate a locked state. There
were cases where the delayed locked store could lead to breaking
mutual exclusion with crossed locking; such as with sysv ipc and
netfilter being the most extreme.
2. The auditing Andrea did in verified that remaining spin_is_locked()
no longer rely on such semantics. Most callers just use it to assert
a lock is taken, in a debug nature. The only user that gets cute is
NOLOCK qdisc, as of:
96009c7d50 (sched: replace __QDISC_STATE_RUNNING bit with a spin lock)
... which ironically went in the next day after c6f5d02b6a. This
change replaces test_bit() with spin_is_locked() to know whether
to take the busylock heuristic to reduce contention on the main
qdisc lock. So any races against spin_is_locked() for archs that
use LL/SC for spin_lock() will be benign and not break any mutual
exclusion; furthermore, both the seqlock and busylock have the same
scope.

The code relies on constant folding of cpu_has_feature() based
on possible and always true values as defined per
CPU_FTRS_ALWAYS and CPU_FTRS_POSSIBLE.
Build failure is encountered with for instance
book3e_all_defconfig on kisskb in the AMDGPU driver which uses
cpu_has_feature(CPU_FTR_VSX_COMP) to decide whether calling
kernel_enable_vsx() or not.
The failure is due to cpu_has_feature() not being inlined with
that configuration with gcc 4.9.
In the same way as commit acdad8fb4a ("powerpc: Force inlining of
mmu_has_feature to fix build failure"), for inlining of
cpu_has_feature().

kexec_fdt_totalsize_ppc64() includes the base FDT size in its size
calculation, but commit 3c985d31ad ("powerpc: Use common
of_kexec_alloc_and_setup_fdt()") changed the kexec code to use the
generic function of_kexec_alloc_and_setup_fdt() which already includes
the base FDT size. That change made the code overestimate the size a bit
by counting twice the space required for the kernel command line and
/chosen properties.
Therefore change kexec_fdt_totalsize_ppc64() to calculate just the extra
space needed by the kdump kernel, and change the function name so that it
better reflects what the function is now doing.

This works because the caller is checking if VSX is available using
cpu_has_feature():
#define DC_FP_START() { \
if (cpu_has_feature(CPU_FTR_VSX_COMP)) { \
preempt_disable(); \
enable_kernel_vsx(); \

enable_kernel_altivec(); \
} else if (!cpu_has_feature(CPU_FTR_FPU_UNAVAILABLE)) { \
preempt_disable(); \
enable_kernel_fp(); \
} \
When CONFIG_VSX is not selected, cpu_has_feature(CPU_FTR_VSX_COMP)
constant folds to 'false' so the call to enable_kernel_vsx() is
discarded and the build succeeds.

The driver core ignores the return value of struct bus_type::remove()
because there is only little that can be done. To simplify the quest to
make this function return void, let struct vio_driver::remove() return
void, too. All users already unconditionally return 0, this commit makes
it obvious that returning an error code is a bad idea.
Note there are two nominally different implementations for a vio bus:
one in arch/sparc/kernel/vio.c and the other in
arch/powerpc/platforms/pseries/vio.c. This patch only adapts the powerpc
one.
Before this patch for a device that was bound to a driver without a
remove callback vio_cmo_bus_remove(viodev) wasn't called. As the device
core still considers the device unbound after vio_bus_remove() returns
calling this unconditionally is the consistent behaviour which is
implemented here.
