* sh: Minor optimisations to FPU handlingStuart Menefy2009-11-24
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | A number of small optimisations to FPU handling, in particular: - move the task USEDFPU flag from the thread_info flags field (which is accessed asynchronously to the thread) to a new status field, which is only accessed by the thread itself. This allows locking to be removed in most cases, or can be reduced to a preempt_lock(). This mimics the i386 behaviour. - move the modification of regs->sr and thread_info->status flags out of save_fpu() to __unlazy_fpu(). This gives the compiler a better chance to optimise things, as well as making save_fpu() symmetrical with restore_fpu() and init_fpu(). - implement prepare_to_copy(), so that when creating a thread, we can unlazy the FPU prior to copying the thread data structures. Also make sure that the FPU is disabled while in the kernel, in particular while booting, and for newly created kernel threads, In a very artificial benchmark, the execution time for 2500000 context switches was reduced from 50 to 45 seconds.

* sh: TS_RESTORE_SIGMASK conversion.Paul Mundt2009-10-14
| | | | | | | | | | | Replace TIF_RESTORE_SIGMASK with TS_RESTORE_SIGMASK and define our own set_restore_sigmask() function. This saves the costly SMP-safe set_bit operation, which we do not need for the sigmask flag since TIF_SIGPENDING always has to be set too. Based on the x86 and powerpc change.

* sh: Wire up HAVE_SYSCALL_TRACEPOINTS.Paul Mundt2009-09-16
| | | | | | | | This is necessary to get ftrace syscall tracing working again.. a fairly trivial and mechanical change. The one benefit is that this can also be enabled on sh64, despite not having its own ftrace port. Signed-off-by: Paul Mundt <lethal@linux-sh.org>

| * sched: INIT_PREEMPT_COUNTPeter Zijlstra2009-07-10
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Pull the initial preempt_count value into a single definition site. Maintainers for: alpha, ia64 and m68k, please have a look, your arch code is funny. The header magic is a bit odd, but similar to the KERNEL_DS one, CPP waits with expanding these macros until the INIT_THREAD_INFO macro itself is expanded, which is in arch/*/kernel/init_task.c where we've already included sched.h so we're good.

* | sh: Add ftrace syscall tracing supportMatt Fleming2009-07-06
|/ | | | | | | | | Now that I've added TIF_SYSCALL_FTRACE the thread flags do not fit into a single byte any more. Code testing them now needs to be aware of the upper and lower bytes. Signed-off-by: Matt Fleming <matt@console-pimps.org> Signed-off-by: Paul Mundt <lethal@linux-sh.org>
* sh: Support kernel stacks smaller than a page.Paul Mundt2008-09-20
| | | | | | | | | | | | | This follows the powerpc commit f6a616800e68b61807d0f7bb0d5dc70665ef8046 '[POWERPC] Fix kernel stack allocation alignment'. SH has traditionally forced the thread order to be relative to the page size, so there were never any situations where the same bug was triggered by slub. Regardless, the usage of > 8kB stacks for the larger page sizes is overkill, so we switch to using slab allocations there, as per the powerpc change. Signed-off-by: Paul Mundt <lethal@linux-sh.org>
* sh: Make syscall tracer use tracehook notifiers, add TIF_NOTIFY_RESUME.Paul Mundt2008-08-01
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | This follows the changes in commits: 7d6d637dac2050f30a1b57b0a3dc5de4a10616ba 4f72c4279eab1e5f3ed1ac4e55d4527617582392 on powerpc. Adding in TIF_NOTIFY_RESUME, and cleaning up the syscall tracing to be more generic. This is an incremental step to turning on tracehook, as well as unifying more of the ptrace and signal code across the 32/64 split. Signed-off-by: Paul Mundt <lethal@linux-sh.org>

This follows the sparc changes a439fe51a1f8eb087c22dd24d69cebae4a3addac. Most of the moving about was done with Sam's directions at: http://marc.info/?l=linux-sh&m=121724823706062&w=2 with subsequent hacking and fixups entirely my fault.
