*	lib/xor: make xor prototypes more friendly to compiler vectorization	Ard Biesheuvel	2022-02-11	1	-11/+14
\| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \| \|	Modern compilers are perfectly capable of extracting parallelism from the XOR routines, provided that the prototypes reflect the nature of the input accurately, in particular, the fact that the input vectors are expected not to overlap. This is not documented explicitly, but is implied by the interchangeability of the various C routines, some of which use temporary variables while others don't: this means that these routines only behave identically for non-overlapping inputs. So let's decorate these input vectors with the __restrict modifier, which informs the compiler that there is no overlap. While at it, make the input-only vectors pointer-to-const as well.

*	powerpc/altivec: Add missing prototypes for altivec	Mathieu Malaterre	2018-05-25	1	-0/+19
	Some functions prototypes were missing for the non-altivec code. Add the missing prototypes in a new header file, fix warnings treated as errors with W=1: arch/powerpc/lib/xor_vmx_glue.c:18:6: error: no previous prototype for ‘xor_altivec_2’ [-Werror=missing-prototypes] arch/powerpc/lib/xor_vmx_glue.c:29:6: error: no previous prototype for ‘xor_altivec_3’ [-Werror=missing-prototypes] arch/powerpc/lib/xor_vmx_glue.c:40:6: error: no previous prototype for ‘xor_altivec_4’ [-Werror=missing-prototypes] arch/powerpc/lib/xor_vmx_glue.c:52:6: error: no previous prototype for ‘xor_altivec_5’ [-Werror=missing-prototypes] The prototypes were already present in <asm/xor.h> but this header file is meant to be included after <include/linux/raid/xor.h>. Trying to re-use <asm/xor.h> directly would lead to warnings such as: arch/powerpc/include/asm/xor.h:39:15: error: variable ‘xor_block_altivec’ has initializer but incomplete type Trying to re-use <asm/xor.h> after <include/linux/raid/xor.h> in xor_vmx_glue.c would in turn trigger the following warnings: include/asm-generic/xor.h:688:34: error: ‘xor_block_32regs’ defined but not used [-Werror=unused-variable] Signed-off-by: Mathieu Malaterre <malat@debian.org> Signed-off-by: Michael Ellerman <mpe@ellerman.id.au>
