powerpc: Merge enough to start building in arch/powerpc.
This creates the directory structure under arch/powerpc and a bunch of Kconfig files. It does a first-cut merge of arch/powerpc/mm, arch/powerpc/lib and arch/powerpc/platforms/powermac. This is enough to build a 32-bit powermac kernel with ARCH=powerpc.
For now we are getting some unmerged files from arch/ppc/kernel and arch/ppc/syslib, or arch/ppc64/kernel. This makes some minor changes to files in those directories and files outside arch/powerpc.
The boot directory is still not merged. That's going to be interesting.

powerpc: re-initialise lazy FPU/VEC counters on every fault When a FP/VEC/VSX unavailable fault loads registers and enables the facility in the MSR, re-set the lazy restore counters to 1 rather than incrementing them so every fault gets the same number of restores before the next fault. This probably shouldn't be a practical change because if a lazy counter was non-zero then it should have been restored and would not cause a fault when userspace tries to access it. However the code and comment implies otherwise so that's misleading and unnecessary.

powerpc/64: Don't trace code that runs with the soft irq mask unreconciled "Reconciling" in terms of interrupt handling, is to bring the soft irq mask state in to synch with the hardware
powerpc/64: Don't trace code that runs with the soft irq mask unreconciled "Reconciling" in terms of interrupt handling, is to bring the soft irq mask state in to synch with the hardware, after an interrupt causes MSR[EE] to be cleared (while the soft mask may be enabled, and hard irqs not marked disabled). General kernel code should not be called while unreconciled, because local_irq_disable, etc. manipulations can cause surprising irq traces, and it's fragile because the soft irq code does not really expect to be called in this situation. When exiting from an interrupt, MSR[EE] is cleared to prevent races, but soft irq state is enabled for the returned-to context, so this is now an unreconciled state. restore_math is called in this state, and that can be ftraced, and the ftrace subsystem disables local irqs. Mark restore_math and its callees as notrace. Restore a sanity check in the soft irq code that had to be disabled for this case, by commit 4da1f79227ad4 ("powerpc/64: Disable irq restore warning for now").

powerpc: Add the ability to save FPU without giving it up This patch adds the ability to be able to save the FPU registers to the thread struct without giving up (disabling the facility) next time the process returns to userspace. This patch optimises the thread copy path (as a result of a fork() or clone()) so that the parent thread can return to userspace with hot registers avoiding a possibly pointless reload of FPU register state.

powerpc: Restore FPU/VEC/VSX if previously used Currently the FPU, VEC and VSX facilities are lazily loaded. This is not a problem unless a process is using these facilities. Modern versions of GCC are very good at automatically vectorising code, new and modernised workloads make use of floating point and vector facilities, even the kernel makes use of vectorised memcpy. All this combined greatly increases the cost of a syscall since the kernel uses the facilities sometimes even in syscall fast-path making it increasingly common for a thread to take an *_unavailable exception soon after a syscall, not to mention potentially taking all three. The obvious overcompensation to this problem is to simply always load all the facilities on every exit to userspace. Loading up all FPU, VEC and VSX registers every time can be expensive and if a workload does avoid using them, it should not be forced to incur this penalty. An 8bit counter is used to detect if the registers have been used in the past and the registers are always loaded until the value wraps to back to zero. Several versions of the assembly in entry_64.S were tested: 1. Always calling C. 2. Performing a common case check and then calling C. 3. A complex check in asm. After some benchmarking it was determined that avoiding C in the common case is a performance benefit (option 2). The full check in asm (option 3) greatly complicated that codepath for a negligible performance gain and the trade-off was deemed not worth it.

powerpc: Remove NULL task struct pointer checks in FP and vector code We used to allow giveup_*() to be called with a NULL task struct pointer. Now those cases are handled in the caller we can remove the checks. We can also remove giveup_altivec_notask() which is also unused.

powerpc: Remove UP only lazy floating point and vector optimisations The UP only lazy floating point and vector optimisations were written back when SMP was not common, and neither glibc nor gcc used vector instructions. Now SMP is very common, glibc aggressively uses vector instructions and gcc autovectorises. We want to add new optimisations that apply to both UP and SMP, but in preparation for that remove these UP only optimisations.
