e500v1/v2 based chips will treat any reserved field being set in an opcode as illegal. Thus always setting the hint in the opcode is a bad idea. Anton should be kept away from the powerpc opcode map. Signed-off-by: NKumar Gala <galak@kernel.crashing.org>

Recent versions of the PowerPC architecture added a hint bit to the larx instructions to differentiate between an atomic operation and a lock operation: > 0 Other programs might attempt to modify the word in storage addressed by EA > even if the subsequent Store Conditional succeeds. > > 1 Other programs will not attempt to modify the word in storage addressed by > EA until the program that has acquired the lock performs a subsequent store > releasing the lock. To avoid a binutils dependency this patch create macros for the extended lwarx format and uses it in the spinlock code. To test this change I used a simple test case that acquires and releases a global pthread mutex: pthread_mutex_lock(&mutex); pthread_mutex_unlock(&mutex); On a 32 core POWER6, running 32 test threads we spend almost all our time in the futex spinlock code: 94.37% perf [kernel] [k] ._raw_spin_lock | |--99.95%-- ._raw_spin_lock | | | |--63.29%-- .futex_wake | | | |--36.64%-- .futex_wait_setup Which is a good test for this patch. The results (in lock/unlock operations per second) are: before: 1538203 ops/sec after: 2189219 ops/sec An improvement of 42% A 32 core POWER7 improves even more: before: 1279529 ops/sec after: 2282076 ops/sec An improvement of 78% Signed-off-by: NAnton Blanchard <anton@samba.org> Signed-off-by: NBenjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org>

During the ISA 2.06 development the opcode for tlbilx changed and some early implementations used to old opcode. Add support for a MMU_FTR fixup to deal with this. Signed-off-by: NKumar Gala <galak@kernel.crashing.org>

The tlbilx opcode was not matching the Power ISA 2.06 arch spec. The old opcode was an early suggested opcode that changed during the 2.06 architecture process. Signed-off-by: NKumar Gala <galak@kernel.crashing.org>

Create a new header that becomes a single location for defining PowerPC opcodes used by code that is either generationg instructions at runtime (fixups, debug, etc.), emulating instructions, or just compiling instructions old assemblers don't know about. We currently don't handle the floating point emulation or alignment decode as both are better handled by the specific decode support they already have. Added support for the new dcbzl, dcbal, msgsnd, tlbilx, & wait instructions since older assemblers don't know about them.
