* x86, UML: remove x86-specific implementations of find_first_bitAlexander van Heukelum2008-04-26
| | | | | | | | | | | x86 has been switched to the generic versions of find_first_bit and find_first_zero_bit, but the original versions were retained. This patch just removes the now unused x86-specific versions. also update UML. Signed-off-by: Alexander van Heukelum <heukelum@fastmail.fm> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>
* x86: optimize find_first_bit for small bitmapsAlexander van Heukelum2008-04-26
| | | | | | | | | | Avoid a call to find_first_bit if the bitmap size is know at compile time and small enough to fit in a single long integer. Modeled after an optimization in the original x86_64-specific code. Signed-off-by: Alexander van Heukelum <heukelum@fastmail.fm> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>

* x86: generic versions of find_first_(zero_)bit, convert i386Alexander van Heukelum2008-04-26
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Generic versions of __find_first_bit and __find_first_zero_bit are introduced as simplified versions of __find_next_bit and __find_next_zero_bit. Their compilation and use are guarded by a new config variable GENERIC_FIND_FIRST_BIT. The generic versions of find_first_bit and find_first_zero_bit are implemented in terms of the newly introduced __find_first_bit and __find_first_zero_bit. This patch does not remove the i386-specific implementation, but it does switch i386 to use the generic functions by setting GENERIC_FIND_FIRST_BIT=y for X86_32.

* bitops: use __fls for fls64 on 64-bit archsAlexander van Heukelum2008-04-26
| | | | | | | | Use __fls for fls64 on 64-bit archs. The implementation for 64-bit archs is moved from x86_64 to asm-generic. Signed-off-by: Alexander van Heukelum <heukelum@fastmail.fm> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>
* generic: implement __fls on all 64-bit archsAlexander van Heukelum2008-04-26
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Implement __fls on all 64-bit archs: alpha has an implementation of fls64. Added __fls(x) = fls64(x) - 1. ia64 has fls, but not __fls. Added __fls based on code of fls. mips and powerpc have __ilog2, which is the same as __fls. Added __fls = __ilog2. parisc, s390, sh and sparc64: Include generic __fls. x86_64 already has __fls.

* generic: introduce a generic __fls implementationAlexander van Heukelum2008-04-26

* x86: merge the simple bitops and move them to bitops.hAlexander van Heukelum2008-04-26
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Some of those can be written in such a way that the same inline assembly can be used to generate both 32 bit and 64 bit code. For ffs and fls, x86_64 unconditionally used the cmov instruction and i386 unconditionally used a conditional branch over a mov instruction. In the current patch I chose to select the version based on the availability of the cmov instruction instead. A small detail here is that x86_64 did not previously set CONFIG_X86_CMOV=y. Improved comments for ffs, ffz, fls and variations. Signed-off-by: Alexander van Heukelum <heukelum@fastmail.fm> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>
* x86, generic: optimize find_next_(zero_)bit for small constant-size bitmapsAlexander van Heukelum2008-04-26
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This moves an optimization for searching constant-sized small bitmaps form x86_64-specific to generic code. On an i386 defconfig (the x86#testing one), the size of vmlinux hardly changes with this applied. I have observed only four places where this optimization avoids a call into find_next_bit: In the functions return_unused_surplus_pages, alloc_fresh_huge_page, and adjust_pool_surplus, this patch avoids a call for a 1-bit bitmap. In __next_cpu a call is avoided for a 32-bit bitmap. That's it. On x86_64, 52 locations are optimized with a minimal increase in code size: Current #testing defconfig: 146 x bsf, 27 x find_next_*bit text data bss dec hex filename 5392637 846592 724424 6963653 6a41c5 vmlinux After removing the x86_64 specific optimization for find_next_*bit: 94 x bsf, 79 x find_next_*bit text data bss dec hex filename 5392358 846592 724424 6963374 6a40ae vmlinux After this patch (making the optimization generic): 146 x bsf, 27 x find_next_*bit text data bss dec hex filename 5392396 846592 724424 6963412 6a40d4 vmlinux [ tglx@linutronix.de: build fixes ] Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>
* x86: change x86 to use generic find_next_bitAlexander van Heukelum2008-04-26
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The versions with inline assembly are in fact slower on the machines I tested them on (in userspace) (Athlon XP 2800+, p4-like Xeon 2.8GHz, AMD Opteron 270). The i386-version needed a fix similar to 06024f21 to avoid crashing the benchmark. Benchmark using: gcc -fomit-frame-pointer -Os. For each bitmap size 1...512, for each possible bitmap with one bit set, for each possible offset: find the position of the first bit starting at offset. If you follow ;). Times include setup of the bitmap and checking of the results. Athlon Xeon Opteron 32/64bit x86-specific: 0m3.692s 0m2.820s 0m3.196s / 0m2.480s generic: 0m2.622s 0m1.662s 0m2.100s / 0m1.572s If the bitmap size is not a multiple of BITS_PER_LONG, and no set (cleared) bit is found, find_next_bit (find_next_zero_bit) returns a value outside of the range [0, size]. The generic version always returns exactly size. The generic version also uses unsigned long everywhere, while the x86 versions use a mishmash of int, unsigned (int), long and unsigned long. Using the generic version does give a slightly bigger kernel, though. defconfig: text data bss dec hex filename x86-specific: 4738555 481232 626688 5846475 5935cb vmlinux (32 bit) generic: 4738621 481232 626688 5846541 59360d vmlinux (32 bit) x86-specific: 5392395 846568 724424 6963387 6a40bb vmlinux (64 bit) generic: 5392458 846568 724424 6963450 6a40fa vmlinux (64 bit) Signed-off-by: Alexander van Heukelum <heukelum@fastmail.fm> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>

This is useful for applications like kmap_atomic, PCI config that is done via direct memory map, kexec/kdump. We got ride of CONFIG_HIGHMEM_START as we can now determine a more optimal location for PKMAP_BASE based on where the fixmap addresses start and working back from there. Additionally, the kmap code in asm-powerpc/highmem.h always had debug enabled. Moved to using CONFIG_DEBUG_HIGHMEM to determine if we should have the extra debug checking.

| * | [POWERPC] 85xx: Add support for relocatable kernel (and booting at non-zero)Kumar Gala2008-04-24
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Added support to allow an 85xx kernel to be run from a non-zero physical address (useful for cooperative asymmetric multiprocessing situations and kdump). The support can be configured at compile time by setting CONFIG_PAGE_OFFSET, CONFIG_KERNEL_START, and CONFIG_PHYSICAL_START as desired. Alternatively, the kernel build can set CONFIG_RELOCATABLE. Setting this config option causes the kernel to determine at runtime the physical addresses of CONFIG_PAGE_OFFSET and CONFIG_KERNEL_START. If CONFIG_RELOCATABLE is set, then CONFIG_PHYSICAL_START has no meaning. However, CONFIG_PHYSICAL_START will always be used to set the LOAD program header physical address field in the resulting ELF image. Currently we are limited to running at a physical address that is a multiple of 256M. This is due to how we map TLBs to cover lowmem. This should be fixed to allow 64M or maybe even 16M alignment in the future. It is considered an error to try and run a kernel at a non-aligned physical address. All the magic for this support is accomplished by proper initialization of the kernel memory subsystem and use of ARCH_PFN_OFFSET. The use of ARCH_PFN_OFFSET only affects normal memory and not IO mappings. ioremap uses map_page and isn't affected by ARCH_PFN_OFFSET. /dev/mem continues to allow access to any physical address in the system regardless of how CONFIG_PHYSICAL_START is set.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Commit d04ceb3fc294ea2c4f538a04343f3a473953a3b0 moved phys_addr_t definitions to include/asm-powerpc/types.h. However, arch/ppc 440 builds had a duplicate definition in include/asm-ppc/mmu.h that caused the build to fail. This removes the duplicate definition in arch/ppc.

| * | [POWERPC] Fix kernel stack allocation alignmentBenjamin Herrenschmidt2008-04-24
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The powerpc kernel stacks need to be naturally aligned, as they contain the thread info at the bottom, which is obtained by clearing the low bits of the stack pointer. However, when using 64K pages, the stack is smaller than a page, so we use kmalloc to allocate it, but that doesn't provide the alignment guarantee we need. It appeared to work so far... until one enables SLUB debugging which then returns unaligned pointers. Ooops... This fixes it by using a slab cache with enforced alignment. It relies on my previous patch that adds a thread_info_cache_init() callback.

| * | [POWERPC] Add thread_info_cache_init() weak hookBenjamin Herrenschmidt2008-04-24
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Some architectures need to maintain a kmem cache for thread info structures. The next commit adds that to powerpc to fix an alignment problem. There is no good arch callback to use to initialize that cache that I can find, so this adds a new one in the form of a weak function whose default is empty.

Without this functionality, when access to the led hardware is not exclusive (i.e. firmware or hardware might change its state behind the kernel's back), reality goes out of sync with the led class' idea of what the led is doing, which is annoying at best. Behaviour for drivers that do not or cannot read the led status is unchanged. Signed-off-by: Henrique de Moraes Holschuh <hmh@hmh.eng.br> Signed-off-by: Richard Purdie <rpurdie@rpsys.net>
