Since commit bce74491c300 ("powerpc/vdso: fix unnecessary rebuilds of
vgettimeofday.o"), "make ARCH=powerpc clean" does not clean up the
arch/powerpc/kernel/{vdso32,vdso64} directories.

Use the subdir- trick to let "make clean" descend into them.

<title>powerpc/32: Add support for out-of-line static calls</title>

<id>5c810ced36ae1a8f1a7403c1635b0dc07c115086</id>
<content type='text'>
Add support for out-of-line static calls on PPC32. This change
improve performance of calls to global function pointers by
using direct calls instead of indirect calls.

The trampoline is initialy populated with a 'blr' or branch to target,
followed by an unreachable long jump sequence.

In order to cater with parallele execution, the trampoline needs to
be updated in a way that ensures it remains consistent at all time.
This means we can't use the traditional lis/addi to load r12 with
the target address, otherwise there would be a window during which
the first instruction contains the upper part of the new target
address while the second instruction still contains the lower part of
the old target address. To avoid that the target address is stored
just after the 'bctr' and loaded from there with a single instruction.

Then, depending on the target distance, arch_static_call_transform()
will either replace the first instruction by a direct 'bl &lt;target&gt;' or
'nop' in order to have the trampoline fall through the long jump
sequence.

For the special case of __static_call_return0(), to avoid the risk of
a far branch, a version of it is inlined at the end of the trampoline.

Performancewise the long jump sequence is probably not better than
the indirect calls set by GCC when we don't use static calls, but
such calls are unlikely to be required on powerpc32: With most
configurations the kernel size is far below 32 Mbytes so only
modules may happen to be too far. And even modules are likely to
be close enough as they are allocated below the kernel core and
as close as possible of the kernel text.

static_call selftest is running successfully with this change.

With this patch, __do_irq() has the following sequence to trace
irq entries:

	c0004a00 &lt;__SCT__tp_func_irq_entry&gt;:

Commit bce74491c300 ("powerpc/vdso: fix unnecessary rebuilds of
vgettimeofday.o") moved vdso32_wrapper.o and vdso64_wrapper.o out
of arch/powerpc/kernel/vdso[32/64]/ and removed the dependencies in
the Makefile. This leads to the wrappers not being re-build hence the
kernel embedding the old vdso library.

Add back missing dependencies to ensure vdso32_wrapper.o and vdso64_wrapper.o
are rebuilt when vdso32.so.dbg and vdso64.so.dbg are changed.

of arch/powerpc/kernel/vdso[32/64]/ and removed the dependencies in
the Makefile. This leads to the wrappers not being re-build hence the
kernel embedding the old vdso library.

Add back missing dependencies to ensure vdso32_wrapper.o and vdso64_wrapper.o
are rebuilt when vdso32.so.dbg and vdso64.so.dbg are changed.

Pull powerpc updates from Michael Ellerman:

 - A large series adding wrappers for our interrupt handlers, so that
   irq/nmi/user tracking can be isolated in the wrappers rather than
   spread in each handler.

 - Conversion of the 32-bit syscall handling into C.

 - A series from Nick to streamline our TLB flushing when using the
   Radix MMU.

 - Switch to using queued spinlocks by default for 64-bit server CPUs.

 - A rework of our PCI probing so that it happens later in boot, when
   more generic infrastructure is available.

 - Two small fixes to allow 32-bit little-endian processes to run on
   64-bit kernels.

 - Other smaller features, fixes &amp; cleanups.

To allow building interrupt.c on PPC32, ifdef out specific PPC64

Modify Makefile to always build interrupt.o

syscall_64.c will be reused almost as is for PPC32.

As this file also contains functions to handle other types
of interrupts rename it interrupt.c

<title>powerpc/vdso: fix unnecessary rebuilds of vgettimeofday.o</title>

vgettimeofday.o is unnecessarily rebuilt. Adding it to 'targets' is not
enough to fix the issue. Kbuild is correctly rebuilding it because the
command line is changed.

PowerPC builds each vdso directory twice; first in vdso_prepare to
generate vdso{32,64}-offsets.h, second as part of the ordinary build
process to embed vdso{32,64}.so.dbg into the kernel.

The problem shows up when CONFIG_PPC_WERROR=y due to the following line
in arch/powerpc/Kbuild:

  subdir-ccflags-$(CONFIG_PPC_WERROR) := -Werror

In the preparation stage, Kbuild directly visits the vdso directories,
hence it does not inherit subdir-ccflags-y. In the second descend,
Kbuild adds -Werror, which results in the command line flipping
with/without -Werror.

It implies a potential danger; if a more critical flag that would impact
the resulted vdso, the offsets recorded in the headers might be different
from real offsets in the embedded vdso images.

Removing the unneeded second descend solves the problem.
