* dma_free_coherent() needs irqs enabled (sigh)David Brownell2007-10-12
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | On at least ARM (and I'm told MIPS too) dma_free_coherent() has a newish call context requirement: unlike its dma_alloc_coherent() sibling, it may not be called with IRQs disabled. (This was new behavior on ARM as of late 2005, caused by ARM SMP updates.) This little surprise can be annoyingly driver-visible. Since it looks like that restriction won't be removed, this patch changes the definition of the API to include that requirement. Also, to help catch nonportable drivers, it updates the x86 and swiotlb versions to include the relevant warnings. (I already observed that it trips on the bus_reset_tasklet of the new firewire_ohci driver.)

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Add CONFIG_DEBUG_PREEMPT support to ppc64: it was useful for testing get_paca() preemption. Cheat a little, just use debug_smp_processor_id() in the debug version of get_paca(): it contains all the right checks and reporting, though get_paca() doesn't really use smp_processor_id(). Use local_paca for what might have been called __raw_get_paca(). Silence harmless warnings from io.h and lparcfg.c with local_paca - it is okay for iseries_lparcfg_data to be referencing shared_proc with preemption enabled: all cpus should show the same value for shared_proc. Why do other architectures need TRACE_IRQFLAGS_SUPPORT for DEBUG_PREEMPT? I don't know, ppc64 appears to get along fine without it.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Each netlink socket will live in exactly one network namespace, this includes the controlling kernel sockets. This patch updates all of the existing netlink protocols to only support the initial network namespace. Request by clients in other namespaces will get -ECONREFUSED. As they would if the kernel did not have the support for that netlink protocol compiled in. As each netlink protocol is updated to be multiple network namespace safe it can register multiple kernel sockets to acquire a presence in the rest of the network namespaces. The implementation in af_netlink is a simple filter implementation at hash table insertion and hash table look up time. Signed-off-by: Eric W.

* Fix swiotlb_sync_single_range()Keir Fraser2007-07-21
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | If the swiotlb maps a multi-slab region, swiotlb_sync_single_range() can be invoked to sync a sub-region which does not include the first slab. Unfortunately io_tlb_orig_addr[] is only initialised for the first slab, and hence the call to sync_single() will read a garbage orig_addr in this case. This patch fixes the issue by initialising all mapped slabs in io_tlb_orig_addr[]. It also correctly adjusts the buffer pointer in sync_single() to handle the case that the given dma_addr is not aligned on a slab boundary.

Lock statistics provides lock wait-time and hold-time (as well as the count of corresponding contention and acquisitions events). Also, the first few call-sites that encounter contention are tracked. Lock wait-time is the time spent waiting on the lock. This provides insight into the locking scheme, that is, a heavily contended lock is indicative of a too coarse locking scheme. Lock hold-time is the duration the lock was held, this provides a reference for the wait-time numbers, so they can be put into perspective. 1) lock 2) ... do stuff .. unlock 3) The time between 1 and 2 is the wait-time. The time between 2 and 3 is the hold-time. The lockdep held-lock tracking code is reused, because it already collects locks into meaningful groups (classes), and because it is an existing infrastructure for lock instrumentation. Currently lockdep tracks lock acquisition with two hooks: lock() lock_acquire() _lock() ... code protected by lock ... unlock() lock_release() _unlock() We need to extend this with two more hooks, in order to measure contention. lock_contended() - used to measure contention events lock_acquired() - completion of the contention These are then placed the following way: lock() lock_acquire() if (!_try_lock()) lock_contended() _lock() lock_acquired() ... do locked stuff ... unlock() lock_release() _unlock() (Note: the try_lock() 'trick' is used to avoid instrumenting all platform dependent lock primitive implementations.) It is also possible to toggle the two lockdep features at runtime using: /proc/sys/kernel/prove_locking /proc/sys/kernel/lock_stat (esp. turning off the O(n^2) prove_locking functionaliy can help) [akpm@linux-foundation.org: build fixes] [akpm@linux-foundation.org: nuke unneeded ifdefs] Signed-off-by: Peter Zijlstra <a.p.zijlstra@chello.nl> Acked-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu> Acked-by: Jason Baron <jbaron@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

* vsprintf.c: optimizing, part 2: base 10 conversion speedup, v2Denis Vlasenko2007-07-16

This is by far the most used conversion, and in some use cases it impacts performance. For example, top reads /proc/$PID/stat for every process, and with 4000 processes decimal conversion alone takes noticeable time. Using code from http://www.cs.uiowa.edu/~jones/bcd/decimal.html (with permission from the author, Douglas W. Jones) binary-to-decimal-string conversion is done in groups of five digits at once, using only additions/subtractions/shifts (with -O2; -Os throws in some multiply instructions). On i386 arch gcc 4.1.2 -O2 generates ~500 bytes of code. This patch is run tested. Userspace benchmark/test is also attached. I tested it on PIII and AMD64 and new code is generally ~2.5 times faster. On AMD64: # ./vsprintf_verify-O2 Original decimal conv: .......... 151 ns per iteration Patched decimal conv: .......... 62 ns per iteration Testing correctness 12895992590592 ok... [Ctrl-C] # ./vsprintf_verify-O2 Original decimal conv: .......... 151 ns per iteration Patched decimal conv: .......... 62 ns per iteration Testing correctness 26025406464 ok... [Ctrl-C] More realistic test: top from busybox project was modified to report how many us it took to scan /proc (this does not account any processing done after that, like sorting process list), and then I test it with 4000 processes: #!/bin/sh i=4000 while test $i != 0; do sleep 30 & let i-- done busybox top -b -n3 >/dev/null on unpatched kernel: top: 4120 processes took 102864 microseconds to scan top: 4120 processes took 91757 microseconds to scan top: 4120 processes took 92517 microseconds to scan top: 4120 processes took 92581 microseconds to scan on patched kernel: top: 4120 processes took 75460 microseconds to scan top: 4120 processes took 66451 microseconds to scan top: 4120 processes took 67267 microseconds to scan top: 4120 processes took 67618 microseconds to scan The speedup comes from much faster generation of /proc/PID/stat by sprintf() calls inside the kernel.

* generic bug: use show_regs() instead of dump_stack()Heiko Carstens2007-07-16
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The current generic bug implementation has a call to dump_stack() in case a WARN_ON(whatever) gets hit. Since report_bug(), which calls dump_stack(), gets called from an exception handler we can do better: just pass the pt_regs structure to report_bug() and pass it to show_regs() in case of a warning. This will give more debug informations like register contents, etc... In addition this avoids some pointless lines that dump_stack() emits, since it includes a stack backtrace of the exception handler which is of no interest in case of a warning. E.g. on s390 the following lines are currently always present in a stack backtrace if dump_stack() gets called from report_bug(): [<000000000001517a>] show_trace+0x92/0xe8) [<0000000000015270>] show_stack+0xa0/0xd0 [<00000000000152ce>] dump_stack+0x2e/0x3c [<0000000000195450>] report_bug+0x98/0xf8 [<0000000000016cc8>] illegal_op+0x1fc/0x21c [<00000000000227d6>] sysc_return+0x0/0x10 Acked-by: Jeremy Fitzhardinge <jeremy@goop.org> Acked-by: Haavard Skinnemoen <hskinnemoen@atmel.com> Cc: Andi Kleen <ak@suse.de> Cc: Kyle McMartin <kyle@parisc-linux.org> Cc: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org> Cc: Paul Mundt <lethal@linux-sh.org> Cc: Martin Schwidefsky <schwidefsky@de.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Heiko Carstens <heiko.carstens@de.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

* percpu_counters(): use cpu notifiersAndrew Morton2007-07-16
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | per-cpu counters presently must iterate over all possible CPUs in the exhaustive percpu_counter_sum(). But it can be much better to only iterate over the presently-online CPUs. To do this, we must arrange for an offlined CPU's count to be spilled into the counter's central count. We can do this for all percpu_counters in the machine by linking them into a single global list and walking that list at CPU_DEAD time. (I hope. Might have race windows in which the percpu_counter_sum() count is inaccurate?)

* SLUB: support slub_debug on by defaultChristoph Lameter2007-07-16
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Add a new configuration variable CONFIG_SLUB_DEBUG_ON If set then the kernel will be booted by default with slab debugging switched on. Similar to CONFIG_SLAB_DEBUG. By default slab debugging is available but must be enabled by specifying "slub_debug" as a kernel parameter. Also add support to switch off slab debugging for a kernel that was built with CONFIG_SLUB_DEBUG_ON. This works by specifying slub_debug=- as a kernel parameter.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Remove all ids from the given idr tree. idr_destroy() only frees up unused, cached idp_layers, but this function will remove all id mappings and leave all idp_layers unused. A typical clean-up sequence for objects stored in an idr tree, will use idr_for_each() to free all objects, if necessay, then idr_remove_all() to remove all ids, and idr_destroy() to free up the cached idr_layers.

* lib: add idr_for_each()Kristian Hoegsberg2007-07-16
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch adds an iterator function for the idr data structure. Compared to just iterating through the idr with an integer and idr_find, this iterator is (almost, but not quite) linear in the number of elements, as opposed to the number of integers in the range covered by the idr. This makes a difference for sparse idrs, but more importantly, it's a nicer way to iterate through the elements. The drm subsystem is moving to idr for tracking contexts and drawables, and with this change, we can use the idr exclusively for tracking these resources.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | XFS filestreams functionality uses radix trees and the preload functions. XFS can be built as a module and hence we need radix_tree_preload() exported. radix_tree_preload_end() is a static inline, so it doesn't need exporting.

* | ida: implement idr based id allocatorTejun Heo2007-07-11
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Implement idr based id allocator. ida is used the same way idr is used but lacks id -> ptr translation and thus consumes much less memory. struct ida_bitmap is attached as leaf nodes to idr tree which is managed by the idr code. Each ida_bitmap is 128bytes long and contains slightly less than a thousand slots. ida is more aggressive with releasing extra resources acquired using ida_pre_get(). After every successful id allocation, ida frees one reserved idr_layer if possible. Reserved ida_bitmap is not freed automatically but only one ida_bitmap is reserved and it's almost always used right away. Under most circumstances, ida won't hold on to memory for too long which isn't actively used. Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo <htejun@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@suse.de>

Allocation part of idr_get_new_above_int() is renamed to idr_get_empty_slot(). New idr_get_new_above_int() allocates a slot using the function, install the user pointer and marks it full using idr_mark_full(). This change doesn't introduce any behavior change. This will be used by ida. Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo <htejun@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@suse.de>
* | idr: fix obscure bug in allocation pathTejun Heo2007-07-11
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | In sub_alloc(), when bitmap search fails, it goes up one level to continue search. This is done by updating the id cursor and searching the upper level again. If the cursor was at the end of the upper level, we need to go further than that. This wasn't implemented and when that happens the part of the cursor which indexes into the upper level wraps and sub_alloc() ends up searching the wrong bitmap. It allocates id which doesn't match the actual slot. This patch fixes this by restarting from the top if the search needs to go higher than one level.

Nitin and myself have merged the best parts of the various patches to form this version which we're both happy with (and are jointly signing off). The performance of this version is equivalent to the original minilzo code it was based on. Bytecode comparisons have also been made on ARM, i386 and x86_64 with favourable results. There are several users of LZO lined up including jffs2, crypto and reiser4 since its much faster than zlib.
