[PATCH 0/2] powerpc32: optimisation of csum_partial_copy_generic()

This patch optimises csum_partial_copy_generic() by making use of cache instructions (dcbt/dcbz) just like copy_tofrom_user() does On a TCP benchmark using socklib on the loopback interface on which checksum offload and scatter/gather have been deactivated, we get about 20% performance increase.

[PATCH 1/2] powerpc32: checksum_wrappers_64 becomes checksum_wrappers

The powerpc64 checksum wrapper functions adds the csum_and_copy_to_user() which otherwise is implemented in include/net/checksum.h by using csum_partial() then copy_to_user() Those two wrapper fonctions are also applicable to powerpc32 as it is based on the use of csum_partial_copy_generic() which

csum_partial_copy_generic() does the same as copy_tofrom_user and also calculates the checksum during the copy. Unlike copy_tofrom_user(), the existing version of csum_partial_copy_generic() doesn't take benefit of the cache This patch is a rewrite of csum_partial_copy_generic() based on copy_tofr

[PATCH 0/6] pseries: Move CPU dlpar into the kernel

To better support CPU hotplug in PowerKVM and PowerVM environments, the handling of CPU dlpar should be done entirely in the kernel. This will allow a common entry point for PowerVM and PowerKVM CPU dlpar requests. For both environments, the entry point is the same one introduced in a previous patc
