Subject: [PATCH v3 0/5] powerpc: convert cache asm to C

From: Alastair D'Silva <alastair@...ilva.org>

This series addresses a few issues discovered in how we flush caches:
1. Flushes were truncated at 4GB, so larger flushes were incorrect.
2. Flushing the dcache in arch_add_memory was unnecessary

This series also converts much of the cache assembler to C, with the
aim of making it easier to maintain.

Alastair D'Silva (6):
  powerpc: Allow flush_icache_range to work across ranges >4GB
  powerpc: define helpers to get L1 icache sizes
  powerpc: Convert flush_icache_range & friends to C
  powerpc: Chunk calls to flush_dcache_range in arch_*_memory
  powerpc: Remove 'extern' from func prototypes in cache headers
  powerpc: Don't flush caches when adding memory

Changelog:
 V3:
     - factor out chunking loop
     - Replace __asm__ __volatile__ with asm volatile
     - Replace flush_coherent_icache_or_return macro with
       flush_coherent_icache function
     - factor our invalidate_icache_range
     - Replace code duplicating clean_dcache_range() in
       __flush_dcache_icache() with a call to clean_dcache_range()
     - Remove redundant #ifdef CONFIG_44x
     - Fix preprocessor logic:
         #if !defined(CONFIG_PPC_8xx) & !defined(CONFIG_PPC64)
     - Added loop(1|2) to earlyclobbers in flush_dcache_icache_phys
     - Drop "Remove extern" patch
     - Replace 32 bit shifts in 64 bit VDSO with 64 bit ones
 V2:
     - Replace C implementation of flush_dcache_icache_phys() with
       inline assembler authored by Christophe Leroy
     - Add memory clobbers for iccci implementation
     - Give __flush_dcache_icache a real implementation, it can't
       just be a wrapper around flush_icache_range()
     - Remove PPC64_CACHES from misc_64.S
     - Replace code duplicating clean_dcache_range() in
       flush_icache_range() with a call to clean_dcache_range()
     - Replace #ifdef CONFIG_44x with IS_ENABLED(...) in
       flush_icache_cange()
     - Use 1GB chunks instead of 16GB in arch_*_memory
