      powerpc: Per process DSCR + some fixes (try#4) · efcac658
      Alexey Kardashevskiy 提交于
      The DSCR (aka Data Stream Control Register) is supported on some
      server PowerPC chips and allow some control over the prefetch
      of data streams.
      
      This patch allows the value to be specified per thread by emulating
      the corresponding mfspr and mtspr instructions. Children of such
      threads inherit the value. Other threads use a default value that
      can be specified in sysfs - /sys/devices/system/cpu/dscr_default.
      
      If a thread starts with non default value in the sysfs entry,
      all children threads inherit this non default value even if
      the sysfs value is changed later.
