The kmalloc() function has a 2-factor argument form, kmalloc_array(). This
patch replaces cases of:

        kmalloc(a * b, gfp)

with:
        kmalloc_array(a * b, gfp)

as well as handling cases of:

        kmalloc(a * b * c, gfp)

with:

        kmalloc(array3_size(a, b, c), gfp)

as it's slightly less ugly than:

        kmalloc_array(array_size(a, b), c, gfp)

This does, however, attempt to ignore constant size factors like:

        kmalloc(4 * 1024, gfp)

though any constants defined via macros get caught up in the conversion.

Any factors with a sizeof() of "unsigned char", "char", and "u8" were
dropped, since they're redundant.

The tools/ directory was manually excluded, since it has its own
implementation of kmalloc().

The Coccinelle script used for this was:

Pull powerpc updates from Michael Ellerman:
 "Notable changes:

   - Support for split PMD page table lock on 64-bit Book3S (Power8/9).

   - Add support for HAVE_RELIABLE_STACKTRACE, so we properly support
     live patching again.

   - Add support for patching barrier_nospec in copy_from_user() and
     syscall entry.

   - A couple of fixes for our data breakpoints on Book3S.

   - A series from Nick optimising TLB/mm handling with the Radix MMU.

   - Numerous small cleanups to squash sparse/gcc warnings from Mathieu
     Malaterre.

   - Several series optimising various parts of the 32-bit code from
     Christophe Leroy.

   - Removal of support for two old machines, "SBC834xE" and "C2K"
     ("GEFanuc,C2K"), which is why the diffstat has so many deletions.

  And many other small improvements &amp; fixes.

  There's a few out-of-area changes. Some minor ftrace changes OK'ed by
  Steve, and a fix to our powernv cpuidle driver. Then there's a series
  touching mm, x86 and fs/proc/task_mmu.c, which cleans up some details
  around pkey support. It was ack'ed/reviewed by Ingo &amp; Dave and has
  been in next for several weeks.

   - Add support for patching barrier_nospec in copy_from_user() and
     syscall entry.

   - A couple of fixes for our data breakpoints on Book3S.

   - A series from Nick optimising TLB/mm handling with the Radix MMU.

   - Numerous small cleanups to squash sparse/gcc warnings from Mathieu
     Malaterre.

   - Several series optimising various parts of the 32-bit code from
     Christophe Leroy.

   - Removal of support for two old machines, "SBC834xE" and "C2K"
     ("GEFanuc,C2K"), which is why the diffstat has so many deletions.

  And many other small improvements &amp; fixes.

  There's a few out-of-area changes. Some minor ftrace changes OK'ed by
  Steve, and a fix to our powernv cpuidle driver. Then there's a series
  touching mm, x86 and fs/proc/task_mmu.c, which cleans up some details
  around pkey support. It was ack'ed/reviewed by Ingo &amp; Dave and has
  been in next for several weeks.

At the time being, memcmp() compares two chunks of memory
byte per byte.

This patch optimises the comparison by comparing word by word.

On the same way as commit 15c2d45d17418 ("powerpc: Add 64bit
optimised memcmp"), this patch moves memcmp() into a dedicated
file named memcmp_32.S

A small benchmark performed on an 8xx comparing two chuncks
of 512 bytes performed 100000 times gives:

Before : 5852274 TB ticks
After:   1488638 TB ticks

This is almost 4 times faster

<title>powerpc/lib: optimise 32 bits __clear_user()</title>

Rewrite clear_user() on the same principle as memset(0), making use
of dcbz to clear complete cache lines.

This code is a copy/paste of memset(), with some modifications
in order to retrieve remaining number of bytes to be cleared,
as it needs to be returned in case of error.

On the same way as done on PPC64 in commit 17968fbbd19f1
("powerpc: 64bit optimised __clear_user"), the patch moves
__clear_user() into a dedicated file string_32.S

On a MPC885, throughput is almost doubled:

Before:
~# dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/null bs=1M count=1000
1048576000 bytes (1000.0MB) copied, 18.990779 seconds, 52.7MB/s

After:
~# dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/null bs=1M count=1000
1048576000 bytes (1000.0MB) copied, 9.611468 seconds, 104.0MB/s

On a MPC8321, throughput is multiplied by 2.12:

Before:
root@vgoippro:~# dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/null bs=1M count=1000
1048576000 bytes (1000.0MB) copied, 6.844352 seconds, 146.1MB/s

After:
root@vgoippro:~# dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/null bs=1M count=1000
1048576000 bytes (1000.0MB) copied, 3.218854 seconds, 310.7MB/s

<title>powerpc/lib: Adjust .balign inside string functions for PPC32</title>

commit 87a156fb18fe1 ("Align hot loops of some string functions")
degraded the performance of string functions by adding useless
nops

A simple benchmark on an 8xx calling 100000x a memchr() that
matches the first byte runs in 41668 TB ticks before this patch
and in 35986 TB ticks after this patch. So this gives an
improvement of approx 10%

Another benchmark doing the same with a memchr() matching the 128th
byte runs in 1011365 TB ticks before this patch and 1005682 TB ticks
after this patch, so regardless on the number of loops, removing
those useless nops improves the test by 5683 TB ticks.

emulate_step() is not checking runtime VSX feature flag before
emulating an instruction. This is causing kernel crash when kernel
is compiled with CONFIG_VSX=y but running on a machine where VSX
is not supported or disabled. Ex, while running emulate_step tests
on P6 machine:
