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 altivec2018-05-25T02:04:38ZMathieu Malaterremalat@debian.org2018-03-28T18:55:25Zurn:sha1:7cf76a68f1bcf69214da2812e8f615e36e16e60e
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]
