This reverts commit d27dfa13b9.
Unfortunately, this patch needs to be reverted. We need the full sync
barrier and not the limited barrier provided by using an ordered store.
The sync ensures that all accesses and cache purge instructions that
follow the sync are performed after all such instructions prior the sync
instruction have completed executing.
The patch breaks the rwlock implementation in glibc. This caused the
test-lock application in the libprelude testsuite to hang. With the
change reverted, the test runs correctly and the libprelude package
builds successfully.

Change the currently empty defines for __PAGETABLE_PMD_FOLDED,
__PAGETABLE_PUD_FOLDED and __PAGETABLE_P4D_FOLDED to return 1.
This makes it possible to use __is_defined() to test if the
preprocessor define exists.

The attached change removes the pte_inserted from pgtable.h. As a
result, we always flush the TLB entry when the associated page table
entry is changed.
This change doesn't impact performance signifcantly and it may catch
some cases where the TLB needs flushing but wasn't.

Add wrappers for the PDC_PAT_CELL_GET_INFO and
PDC_PAT_PD_GET_PDC_INTERF_REV PAT PDC subfunctions.
Both provide access to the PAT capability bitfield which can guide us if
simultaneous PTLBs are allowed on the bus, and if firmware will
rendezvous all processors within PDCE_Check in case of an HPMC.

The zdep and depw,z mnemonics generate the same code. The assembler will
accept the depw,z mnemonic when generating PA 1.x code. The zdep
mnemonic is okay when generating PA 2.0 code. This patch changes depw,z
to zdep in the current shlw macro, while the binary code will be the
same.

This patch adds the necessary code to patch a running kernel at runtime
to improve performance.
The current implementation offers a few optimizations variants:
- When running a SMP kernel on a single UP processor, unwanted assembler
statements like locking functions are overwritten with NOPs. When
multiple instructions shall be skipped, one branch instruction is used
instead of multiple nop instructions.
- In the UP case, some pdtlb and pitlb instructions are patched to
become pdtlb,l and pitlb,l which only flushes the CPU-local tlb
entries instead of broadcasting the flush to other CPUs in the system
and thus may improve performance.
- fic and fdc instructions are skipped if no I- or D-caches are
installed. This should speed up qemu emulation and cacheless systems.
- If no cache coherence is needed for IO operations, the relevant fdc
and sync instructions in the sba and ccio drivers are replaced by
nops.
- On systems which share I- and D-TLBs and thus don't have a seperate
instruction TLB, the pitlb instruction is replaced by a nop.
Live-patching is done early in the boot process, just after having run
the system inventory. No drivers are running and thus no external
interrupts should arrive. So the hope is that no TLB exceptions will
occur during the patching. If this turns out to be wrong we will
probably need to do the patching in real-mode.

Change the parisc vmlinuz boot code to include and process the real
compressed vmlinux.gz ELF file instead of a compressed memory dump.
This brings parisc in sync on how it's done on x86_64.
The benefit of this change is that, e.g. for debugging purposes, one can
then extract the vmlinux file out of the vmlinuz which was booted which
wasn't possible before. This can be archieved with the existing
scripts/extract-vmlinux script, which just needs a small tweak to prefer
to extract a compressed file before trying the existing given binary.
The downside of this approach is that due to the extra round of
decompression/ELF processing we need more physical memory installed to
be able to boot a kernel.

This patch may resolve some races in TLB handling. Hopefully, TLB
inserts are accesses and protected by spin lock.
If not, we may need to IPI calls and do local purges on PA 2.0.

This patch updates the spin unlock code to use an ordered store with
release semanatics. All prior accesses are guaranteed to be performed
before an ordered store is performed.
Using an ordered store is significantly faster than using the sync
memory barrier.
