Kbuild conventionally uses $(obj)/ for generated files, and $(src)/ for
checked-in source files. It is merely a convention without any functional
difference. In fact, $(obj) and $(src) are exactly the same, as defined
in scripts/Makefile.build:
src := $(obj)
When the kernel is built in a separate output directory, $(src) does
not accurately reflect the source directory location. While Kbuild
resolves this discrepancy by specifying VPATH=$(srctree) to search for
source files, it does not cover all cases. For example, when adding a
header search path for local headers, -I$(srctree)/$(src) is typically
passed to the compiler.
This introduces inconsistency between upstream and downstream Makefiles
because $(src) is used instead of $(srctree)/$(src) for the latter.
To address this inconsistency, this commit changes the semantics of
$(src) so that it always points to the directory in the source tree.
Going forward, the variables used in Makefiles will have the following
meanings:
$(obj) - directory in the object tree
$(src) - directory in the source tree (changed by this commit)
$(objtree) - the top of the kernel object tree
$(srctree) - the top of the kernel source tree
Consequently, $(srctree)/$(src) in upstream Makefiles need to be replaced
with $(src).

The kernel_fpu structure has a quite large size of 520 bytes. In order to
reduce stack footprint introduce several kernel fpu structures with
different and also smaller sizes. This way every kernel fpu user must use
the correct variant. A compile time check verifies that the correct variant
is used.
There are several users which use only 16 instead of all 32 vector
registers. For those users the new kernel_fpu_16 structure with a size of
only 266 bytes can be used.

Move, rename, and merge the fpu and vx header files. This way fpu header
files have a consistent naming scheme (fpu*.h).
Also get rid of the fpu subdirectory and move header files to asm
directory, so that all fpu and vx header files can be found at the same
location.
Merge internal.h header file into other header files, since the internal
helpers are used at many locations. so those helper functions are really
not internal.

Code sections in s390 specific kernel code which use floating point or
vector registers all come with a 520 byte stack variable to save already in
use registers, if required.
With INIT_STACK_ALL_PATTERN or INIT_STACK_ALL_ZERO enabled this variable
will always be initialized on function entry in addition to saving register
contents, which contradicts the intention (performance improvement) of such
code sections.
Therefore provide a DECLARE_KERNEL_FPU_ONSTACK() macro which provides
struct kernel_fpu variables with an __uninitialized attribute, and convert
all existing code to use this.
This way only this specific type of stack variable will not be initialized,
regardless of config options.

Get rid of MACHINE_HAS_VX and replace it with cpu_has_vx() which is a
short readable wrapper for "test_facility(129)".
Facility bit 129 is set if the vector facility is present. test_facility()
returns also true for all bits which are set in the architecture level set
of the cpu that the kernel is compiled for. This means that
test_facility(129) is a compile time constant which returns true for z13
and later, since the vector facility bit is part of the z13 kernel ALS.
In result the compiled code will have less runtime checks, and less code.

Drop Itanium support from the RAID6 code, and along with it, the 16x and
32x unrolled versions, which were only used by IA64.
Signed-off-by: Ard Biesheuvel <ardb@kernel.org>
Similar to the syndrome calculation, the recovery algorithms also work
on 64 bytes at a time to align with the L1 cache line size of current
and future LoongArch cores (that we care about). Which means
unrolled-by-4 LSX and unrolled-by-2 LASX code.
The assembly is originally based on the x86 SSSE3/AVX2 ports, but
register allocation has been redone to take advantage of LSX/LASX's 32
vector registers, and instruction sequence has been optimized to suit
(e.g. LoongArch can perform per-byte srl and andi on vectors, but x86
cannot).
Performance numbers measured by instrumenting the raid6test code, on a
3A5000 system clocked at 2.5GHz:
> lasx 2data: 354.987 MiB/s
> lasx datap: 350.430 MiB/s
> lsx 2data: 340.026 MiB/s
> lsx datap: 337.318 MiB/s
> intx1 2data: 164.280 MiB/s
> intx1 datap: 187.966 MiB/s
Because recovery algorithms are chosen solely based on priority and
availability, lasx is marked as priority 2 and lsx priority 1. At least
for the current generation of LoongArch micro-architectures, LASX should
always be faster than LSX whenever supported, and have similar power
consumption characteristics (because the only known LASX-capable uarch,
the LA464, always compute the full 256-bit result for vector ops).

The algorithms work on 64 bytes at a time, which is the L1 cache line
size of all current and future LoongArch cores (that we care about), as
confirmed by Huacai. The code is based on the generic int.uc algorithm,
unrolled 4 times for LSX and 2 times for LASX. Further unrolling does
not meaningfully improve the performance according to experiments.
Performance numbers measured during system boot on a 3A5000 @ 2.5GHz:

Also, the OPTFLAGS declaration actually included the tabs preceding the

the entire block of declarations are meant for ad-hoc customization
(otherwise they would probably make use of `?=` instead of `=`), move
the "Adjust as desired" comment above the block too to fix the long

The vector instruction macros can also be used in inline assemblies. For
this the magic
asm(".include \"asm/vx-insn.h\"\n");
must be added to C files in order to avoid that the pre-processor
eliminates the __ASSEMBLY__ guarded macros. This however comes with the
problem that changes to asm/vx-insn.h do not cause a recompile of C files
which have only this magic statement instead of a proper include statement.
This can be observed with the arch/s390/kernel/fpu.c file.
In order to fix this problem and also to avoid that the include must
be specified twice, add a wrapper include header file which will do
all necessary steps.
This way only the vx-insn.h header file needs to be included and changes to
the new vx-insn-asm.h header file cause a recompile of all dependent files
like it should.

The errors come from the HAS_ALTIVEC test, which fails, and the POWER

GNU Make 4.3 does not remove the backslash anymore. From the 4.3 release

On x86_64, currently 3 variants of AVX512, 3 variants of AVX2
and 3 variants of SSE2 are benchmarked on initialization, taking
between 144-153 jiffies. Testing across a hardware pool of
various generations of intel cpus I could not find a single
case where SSE2 won over AVX2 or AVX512. There are cases where
AVX2 wins over AVX512 however.
Change "prefer" into an integer priority field (similar to
how recov selection works) to have more than one ranking level
available, which is backwards compatible with existing behavior.
Give AVX2/512 variants higher priority over SSE2 in order to skip
SSE testing when AVX is available. in a AVX2/x86_64/HZ=250 case this
saves in the order of 200ms of initialization time.
