<content type='text'>
There are couple of places where we set len but not hw_len. For
ptrace/perf watchpoints, when CONFIG_HAVE_HW_BREAKPOINT=Y, hw_len
will be calculated and set internally while parsing watchpoint.
But when CONFIG_HAVE_HW_BREAKPOINT=N, we need to manually set
'hw_len'. Similarly for xmon as well, hw_len needs to be set
directly.

CFLAGS_REMOVE_&lt;file&gt;.o filters out flags when compiling a particular
object, but there is no convenient way to do that for every object in
a directory.

Add ccflags-remove-y and asflags-remove-y to make it easily.

Use ccflags-remove-y to clean up some Makefiles.

The add/remove order works as follows:

 [1] KBUILD_CFLAGS specifies compiler flags used globally

 [2] ccflags-y adds compiler flags for all objects in the
     current Makefile

 [3] ccflags-remove-y removes compiler flags for all objects in the
     current Makefile (New feature)

 [4] CFLAGS_&lt;file&gt; adds compiler flags per file.

 [5] CFLAGS_REMOVE_&lt;file&gt; removes compiler flags per file.

Having [3] before [4] allows us to remove flags from most (but not all)
objects in the current Makefile.

For example, kernel/trace/Makefile removes $(CC_FLAGS_FTRACE)
from all objects in the directory, then adds it back to
trace_selftest_dynamic.o and CFLAGS_trace_kprobe_selftest.o

The same applies to lib/livepatch/Makefile.

Please note ccflags-remove-y has no effect to the sub-directories.
In contrast, the previous notation got rid of compiler flags also from
all the sub-directories.

The following are not affected because they have no sub-directories:

  arch/arm/boot/compressed/
  arch/powerpc/xmon/
  arch/sh/
  kernel/trace/

However, lib/ has several sub-directories.

To keep the behavior, I added ccflags-remove-y to all Makefiles
in subdirectories of lib/, except the following:

  lib/vdso/Makefile        - Kbuild does not descend into this Makefile
  lib/raid/test/Makefile   - This is not used for the kernel build

I think commit 2464a609ded0 ("ftrace: do not trace library functions")
excluded too much. In the next commit, I will remove ccflags-remove-y
from the sub-directories of lib/.

From Nick's cover letter:

Linux powerpc new system call instruction and ABI

System Call Vectored (scv) ABI
==============================

The scv instruction is introduced with POWER9 / ISA3, it comes with an
rfscv counter-part. The benefit of these instructions is
performance (trading slower SRR0/1 with faster LR/CTR registers, and
entering the kernel with MSR[EE] and MSR[RI] left enabled, which can
reduce MSR updates. The scv instruction has 128 levels (not enough to
cover the Linux system call space).

Assignment and advertisement
----------------------------
The proposal is to assign scv levels conservatively, and advertise
them with HWCAP feature bits as we add support for more.

Linux has not enabled FSCR[SCV] yet, so executing the scv instruction
will cause the kernel to log a "SCV facility unavilable" message, and
deliver a SIGILL with ILL_ILLOPC to the process. Linux has defined a
HWCAP2 bit PPC_FEATURE2_SCV for SCV support, but does not set it.

This change allocates the zero level ('scv 0'), advertised with
PPC_FEATURE2_SCV, which will be used to provide normal Linux system
calls (equivalent to 'sc').

Attempting to execute scv with other levels will cause a SIGILL to be
delivered the same as before, but will not log a "SCV facility
unavailable" message (because the processor facility is enabled).

Calling convention
------------------
The proposal is for scv 0 to provide the standard Linux system call
ABI with the following differences from sc convention[1]:

- LR is to be volatile across scv calls. This is necessary because the
  scv instruction clobbers LR. From previous discussion, this should
  be possible to deal with in GCC clobbers and CFI.

- cr1 and cr5-cr7 are volatile. This matches the C ABI and would allow
  the kernel system call exit to avoid restoring the volatile cr
  registers (although we probably still would anyway to avoid
  information leaks).

- Error handling: The consensus among kernel, glibc, and musl is to
  move to using negative return values in r3 rather than CR0[SO]=1 to
  indicate error, which matches most other architectures, and is
  closer to a function call.

Notes
-----
- r0,r4-r8 are documented as volatile in the ABI, but the kernel patch
  as submitted currently preserves them. This is to leave room for
  deciding which way to go with these. Some small benefit was found by
  preserving them[1] but I'm not convinced it's worth deviating from
  the C function call ABI just for this. Release code should follow
  the ABI.

Currently prefixed instructions are dumped as two separate word
instructions. Use mread_instr() so that prefixed instructions are read
as such and update the incrementor in the loop to take this into
account.

'dump_func' is print_insn_powerpc() which comes from ppc-dis.c which is
taken from binutils. When this is updated prefixed instructions will be
disassembled.

Currently dumping prefixed instructions looks like this:
0:mon&gt; di c000000000094168
c000000000094168  0x06000000    .long 0x6000000

c0000000000941a4  0x39400001    li      r10,1

<title>powerpc: Add a ppc_inst_as_str() helper</title>

<content type='text'>
There are quite a few places where instructions are printed, this is
done using a '%x' format specifier. With the introduction of prefixed
instructions, this does not work well. Currently in these places,
ppc_inst_val() is used for the value for %x so only the first word of
prefixed instructions are printed.

When the instructions are word instructions, only a single word should
be printed. For prefixed instructions both the prefix and suffix should
be printed. To accommodate both of these situations, instead of a '%x'
specifier use '%s' and introduce a helper, __ppc_inst_as_str() which
returns a char *. The char * __ppc_inst_as_str() returns is buffer that
is passed to it by the caller.

It is cumbersome to require every caller of __ppc_inst_as_str() to now
declare a buffer. To make it more convenient to use __ppc_inst_as_str(),
wrap it in a macro that uses a compound statement to allocate a buffer
on the caller's stack before calling it.

<content type='text'>
Add support for the scv instruction on POWER9 and later CPUs.

For now this implements the zeroth scv vector 'scv 0', as identical to
'sc' system calls, with the exception that LR is not preserved, nor
are volatile CR registers, and error is not indicated with CR0[SO],
but by returning a negative errno.

rfscv is implemented to return from scv type system calls. It can not
be used to return from sc system calls because those are defined to
preserve LR.

getpid syscall throughput on POWER9 is improved by 26% (428 to 318
cycles), largely due to reducing mtmsr and mtspr.
