[PATCH 1/2] powerpc/32s: Do kuep_lock() and kuep_unlock() in assembly

Christophe Leroy christophe.leroy at csgroup.eu

When interrupt and syscall entries where converted to C, KUEP locking
and unlocking was also converted. It improved performance by unrolling
the loop, and allowed easily implementing boot time deactivation of
KUEP.

However, null_syscall selftest shows that KUEP is still heavy
(361 cycles with KUEP, 210 cycles without).

A way to improve more is to group 'mtsr's together, instead of
repeating 'addi' + 'mtsr' several times.

In order to do that, more registers need to be available. In C, GCC
will always be able to provide the requested number of registers, but
at the cost of saving some data on the stack, which is counter
performant here.

So let's do it in assembly, when we have full control of which
register can be used. It also has the advantage of locking earlier
and unlocking later and it helps GCC generating less tricky code.
The only drawback is to make boot time deactivation less straight
forward and require 'hand' instruction patching.

In syscall entry, there are only 4 registers availables, so
group 'mtsr's by 4.

In interrupt entry, syscall exit and interrupt exist, we can group
by 6, which means 2 groups for a typical config with 12 user segments.

With this change, null_syscall selftest reports 334 cycles. Without
the change it was 361 cycles, that's an 7% reduction.

For the time being, capability to deactive at boot time is disabled.
It will be re-enabled in following patch.
