Subject: [PATCH v6 0/2] powerpc/32: Implement C syscall entry/exit (complement)

This series implements C syscall entry/exit for PPC32. It reuses
the work already done for PPC64.

This series is based on today's next-test (f538b53fd47a) where main patchs from v5 are merged in.

The first patch is important for performance.

v6:
- Forced scv param to 0 on syscall_exit_prepare(), and added is_not_scv bool.
- Reworked the last patch to avoid code duplication.

Christophe Leroy (2):
powerpc/syscall: Do not check unsupported scv vector on PPC32
powerpc/32: Handle bookE debugging in C in syscall entry/exit

Subject: [PATCH v6 3/2] powerpc/syscall: Avoid storing 'current' in another pointer

By saving the pointer pointing to thread_info.flags, gcc copies r2
in a non-volatile register.

We know 'current' doesn't change, so avoid that intermediaite pointer.

Reduces null_syscall benchmark by 2 cycles (322 => 320 cycles)

On PPC64, gcc seems to know that 'current' is not changing, and it keeps
it in a non volatile register to avoid multiple read of 'current' in paca.

v5: Also in interrupt exit prepare
v6: Removed change related to booke current->thread.debug
v7: Rebased on top of "powerpc/32: Handle bookE debugging in C in syscall entry/exit"
