Subject[PATCH] powerpc/8xx: Reduce time spent in allow_user_access() and friends
Date
To enable/disable kernel access to user space, the 8xx has to
modify the properties of access group 1. This is done by writing
predefined values into SPRN_Mx_AP registers.

As of today, a __put_user() gives:

00000d64 <my_test>:
d64: 3d 20 4f ff lis r9,20479
d68: 61 29 ff ff ori r9,r9,65535
d6c: 7d 3a c3 a6 mtspr 794,r9
d70: 39 20 00 00 li r9,0
d74: 90 83 00 00 stw r4,0(r3)
d78: 3d 20 6f ff lis r9,28671
d7c: 61 29 ff ff ori r9,r9,65535
d80: 7d 3a c3 a6 mtspr 794,r9
d84: 4e 80 00 20 blr

Because only groups 0 and 1 are used, the definition of
groups 2 to 15 doesn't matter.
By setting unused bits to 0 instead on 1, one instruction is
removed for each lock and unlock action:

00000d5c <my_test>:
d5c: 3d 20 40 00 lis r9,16384
d60: 7d 3a c3 a6 mtspr 794,r9
d64: 39 20 00 00 li r9,0
d68: 90 83 00 00 stw r4,0(r3)
d6c: 3d 20 60 00 lis r9,24576
d70: 7d 3a c3 a6 mtspr 794,r9
d74: 4e 80 00 20 blr
