Cover letter [PATCH 00/19] Context switch improvements
Here are various improvements to our context switch path. Some of the highlights:
- Group all mfsprs and mtsprs in __switch_to(), which gives us a 10% improvement on POWER8.
- Create giveup_all() and flush_all_to_thread() so we only write the MSR once, which gives us a 3% improvement on POWER8.
- Create disable_kernel_{fp,altivec,vsx,spe}() and add a debug boot option (ppc_strict_facility_enable) to minimise kernel code running with floating point and vector bits enabled.
- Make giveup_vsx() and flush_vsx_to_thread() handle FP and Altivec state, so they behave more like their sister functions.
Scott: There are changes to the SPE code here which I have only been able to compile test.
