* [PATCH] Kconfig.debug: Set DEBUG_MUTEX to off by defaultTim Chen2006-04-191-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | DEBUG_MUTEX flag is on by default in current kernel configuration. During performance testing, we saw mutex debug functions like mutex_debug_check_no_locks_freed (called by kfree()) is expensive as it goes through a global list of memory areas with mutex lock and do the checking. For benchmarks such as Volanomark and Hackbench, we have seen more than 40% drop in performance on some platforms. We suggest to set DEBUG_MUTEX off by default. Or at least do that later when we feel that the mutex changes in the current code have stabilized.

* [PATCH] sysfs: Allow sysfs attribute files to be pollableNeilBrown2006-04-141-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | It works like this: Open the file Read all the contents. Call poll requesting POLLERR or POLLPRI (so select/exceptfds works) When poll returns, close the file and go to top of loop. or lseek to start of file and go back to the 'read'. Events are signaled by an object manager calling sysfs_notify(kobj, dir, attr); If the dir is non-NULL, it is used to find a subdirectory which contains the attribute (presumably created by sysfs_create_group). This has a cost of one int per attribute, one wait_queuehead per kobject, one int per open file. The name "sysfs_notify" may be confused with the inotify functionality. Maybe it would be nice to support inotify for sysfs attributes as well? This patch also uses sysfs_notify to allow /sys/block/md*/md/sync_action to be pollable Signed-off-by: Neil Brown <neilb@suse.de> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@suse.de>

* [PATCH] Clean up arch-overrides in linux/string.hKyle McMartin2006-04-111-0/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | Some string functions were safely overrideable in lib/string.c, but their corresponding declarations in linux/string.h were not. Correct this, and make strcspn overrideable. Odds of someone wanting to do optimized assembly of these are small, but for the sake of cleanliness, might as well bring them into line with the rest of the file.

* [PATCH] No arch-specific strpbrk implementationsKyle McMartin2006-04-111-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | While cleaning up parisc_ksyms.c earlier, I noticed that strpbrk wasn't being exported from lib/string.c. Investigating further, I noticed a changeset that removed its export and added it to _ksyms.c on a few more architectures. The justification was that "other arches do it." I think this is wrong, since no architecture currently defines __HAVE_ARCH_STRPBRK, there's no reason for any of them to be exporting it themselves. Therefore, consolidate the export to lib/string.c.

You can see a similar version that uses a multiply for the last few steps at http://graphics.stanford.edu/~seander/bithacks.html#CountBitsSetParallel whch refers to "Software Optimization Guide for AMD Athlon 64 and Opteron Processors" http://www.amd.com/us-en/assets/content_type/white_papers_and_tech_docs/25112.PDF It's section 8.6, "Efficient Implementation of Population-Count Function in 32-bit Mode", pages 179-180. It uses the name that I am more familiar with, "popcount" (population count), although "Hamming weight" also makes sense. Anyway, the proof of correctness proceeds as follows: b = a - ((a >> 1) & 0x55555555); c = (b & 0x33333333) + ((b >> 2) & 0x33333333); d = (c + (c >> 4)) & 0x0f0f0f0f; #if SLOW_MULTIPLY e = d + (d >> 8) f = e + (e >> 16); return f & 63; #else /* Useful if multiply takes at most 4 cycles */ return (d * 0x01010101) >> 24; #endif The input value a can be thought of as 32 1-bit fields each holding their own hamming weight. Now look at it as 16 2-bit fields. Each 2-bit field a1..a0 has the value 2*a1 + a0. This can be converted into the hamming weight of the 2-bit field a1+a0 by subtracting a1. That's what the (a >> 1) & mask subtraction does. Since there can be no borrows, you can just do it all at once. Enumerating the 4 possible cases: 0b00 = 0 -> 0 - 0 = 0 0b01 = 1 -> 1 - 0 = 1 0b10 = 2 -> 2 - 1 = 1 0b11 = 3 -> 3 - 1 = 2 The next step consists of breaking up b (made of 16 2-bir fields) into even and odd halves and adding them into 4-bit fields. Since the largest possible sum is 2+2 = 4, which will not fit into a 4-bit field, the 2-bit ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ "which will not fit into a 2-bit field" fields have to be masked before they are added. After this point, the masking can be delayed. Each 4-bit field holds a population count from 0..4, taking at most 3 bits. These numbers can be added without overflowing a 4-bit field, so we can compute c + (c >> 4), and only then mask off the unwanted bits. This produces d, a number of 4 8-bit fields, each in the range 0..8. From this point, we can shift and add d multiple times without overflowing an 8-bit field, and only do a final mask at the end. The number to mask with has to be at least 63 (so that 32 on't be truncated), but can also be 128 or 255. The x86 has a special encoding for signed immediate byte values -128..127, so the value of 255 is slower. On other processors, a special "sign extend byte" instruction might be faster. On a processor with fast integer multiplies (Athlon but not P4), you can reduce the final few serially dependent instructions to a single integer multiply. Consider d to be 3 8-bit values d3, d2, d1 and d0, each in the range 0..8. The multiply forms the partial products: d3 d2 d1 d0 d3 d2 d1 d0 d3 d2 d1 d0 + d3 d2 d1 d0 ---------------------- e3 e2 e1 e0 Where e3 = d3 + d2 + d1 + d0. e2, e1 and e0 obviously cannot generate any carries.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Paul Mundt <lethal@linux-sh.org> says: This patch set implements a number of patches to clean up and restructure the bitmap region code, in addition to extending the interface to support multiword spanning allocations. The current implementation (before this patch set) is limited by only being able to allocate pages <= BITS_PER_LONG, as noted by the strategically positioned BUG_ON() at lib/bitmap.c:752: /* We don't do regions of pages > BITS_PER_LONG. The * algorithm would be a simple look for multiple zeros in the * array, but there's no driver today that needs this. If you * trip this BUG(), you get to code it... */ BUG_ON(pages > BITS_PER_LONG); As I seem to have been the first person to trigger this, the result ends up being the following patch set with the help of Paul Jackson. The final patch in the series eliminates quite a bit of code duplication, so the bitmap code size ends up being smaller than the current implementation as an added bonus. After these are applied, it should already be possible to do multiword allocations with dma_alloc_coherent() out of ranges established by dma_declare_coherent_memory() on x86 without having to change any of the code, and the SH store queue API will follow up on this as the other user that needs support for this.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This change reverts the 033b96fd30db52a710d97b06f87d16fc59fee0f1 commit from Kay Sievers that removed the mount/umount uevents from the kernel. Some older versions of HAL still depend on these events to detect when a new device has been mounted. These events are not correctly emitted, and are broken by design, and so, should not be relied upon by any future program. Instead, the /proc/mounts file should be polled to properly detect this kind of event. A feature-removal-schedule.txt entry has been added, noting when this interface will be removed from the kernel.

This patch changes the logic to include a test for any_tag_set similar to the logic a little futher down. Care is taken to ensure that 'nr_cleared_tags' remains equals to the number of entries in the 'tags' array which are set to '0' (which means that this tag is not set in the tree below pathp->node, and should be cleared at pathp->node and possibly above.

|/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The spinlock-debug wait-loop was using loops_per_jiffy to detect too long spinlock waits - but on fast CPUs this led to a way too fast timeout and false messages. The fix is to include a __delay(1) call in the loop, to correctly approximate the intended delay timeout of 1 second. The code assumes that every architecture implements __delay(1) to last around 1/(loops_per_jiffy*HZ) seconds.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This arch-independent routine copies data to a memory-mapped I/O region, using 32-bit accesses. The naming is double-underscored to make it clear that it does not guarantee write ordering, nor does it perform a memory barrier afterwards; the kernel doc also explicitly states this. This style of access is required by some devices. This change also introduces include/linux/io.h, at Andrew's suggestion. It only has one occupant at the moment, but is a logical destination for oft-replicated contents of include/asm-*/{io,iomap}.h to migrate to.

* [PATCH] x86_64: Use function pointers to call DMA mapping functionsMuli Ben-Yehuda2006-01-121-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | AK: I hacked Muli's original patch a lot and there were a lot of changes - all bugs are probably to blame on me now. There were also some changes in the fall back behaviour for swiotlb - in particular it doesn't try to use GFP_DMA now anymore. Also all DMA mapping operations use the same core dma_alloc_coherent code with proper fallbacks now. And various other changes and cleanups. Known problems: iommu=force swiotlb=force together breaks needs more testing. This patch cleans up x86_64's DMA mapping dispatching code. Right now we have three possible IOMMU types: AGP GART, swiotlb and nommu, and in the future we will also have Xen's x86_64 swiotlb and other HW IOMMUs for x86_64. In order to support all of them cleanly, this patch: - introduces a struct dma_mapping_ops with function pointers for each of the DMA mapping operations of gart (AMD HW IOMMU), swiotlb (software IOMMU) and nommu (no IOMMU). - gets rid of: if (swiotlb) return swiotlb_xxx(); - PCI_DMA_BUS_IS_PHYS is now checked against the dma_ops being set This makes swiotlb faster by avoiding double copying in some cases.
