Pull powerpc updates from Benjamin Herrenschmidt:
"So from the depth of frozen Minnesota, here's the powerpc pull request
for 3.9. It has a few interesting highlights, in addition to the
usual bunch of bug fixes, minor updates, embedded device tree updates
and new boards:
- Hand tuned asm implementation of SHA1 (by Paulus & Michael
Ellerman)
- Support for Doorbell interrupts on Power8 (kind of fast
thread-thread IPIs) by Ian Munsie
- Long overdue cleanup of the way we handle relocation of our open
firmware trampoline (prom_init.c) on 64-bit by Anton Blanchard
- Support for saving/restoring & context switching the PPR (Processor
Priority Register) on server processors that support it. This
allows the kernel to preserve thread priorities established by
userspace. By Haren Myneni.
- DAWR (new watchpoint facility) support on Power8 by Michael Neuling
- Ability to change the DSCR (Data Stream Control Register) which
controls cache prefetching on a running process via ptrace by
Alexey Kardashevskiy
- Support for context switching the TAR register on Power8 (new
branch target register meant to be used by some new specific
userspace perf event interrupt facility which is yet to be enabled)
by Ian Munsie.
- Improve preservation of the CFAR register (which captures the
origin of a branch) on various exception conditions by Paulus.
- Move the Bestcomm DMA driver from arch powerpc to drivers/dma where
it belongs by Philippe De Muyter
- Support for Transactional Memory on Power8 by Michael Neuling
(based on original work by Matt Evans). For those curious about
the feature, the patch contains a pretty good description."
(See commit db8ff907027b: "powerpc: Documentation for transactional
memory on powerpc" for the mentioned description added to the file
Documentation/powerpc/transactional_memory.txt)
