2011-10-18dynamic_debug: fix undefined reference to `__netdev_printk'Jason Baron
Dynamic debug recently added support for netdev_printk. It uses __netdev_printk() to support this functionality. However, when CONFIG_NET is not set, we get the following error: lib/built-in.o: In function `__dynamic_netdev_dbg': (.text+0x9fda): undefined reference to `__netdev_printk' Fix this by making the call to netdev_printk() contingent upon CONFIG_NET. We could have fixed this by defining netdev_printk() to a 'no-op' in the !CONFIG_NET case. However, this is not consistent with how the networking layer uses netdev_printk. For example, CONFIG_NET is not set, netdev_printk() does not have a 'no-op' definition defined.

2011-10-18dynamic_debug: use a single printk() to emit messagesJason Baron
We were using KERN_CONT to combine messages with their prefix. However, KERN_CONT is not smp safe, in the sense that it can interleave messages. This interleaving can result in printks coming out at the wrong loglevel. With the high frequency of printks that dynamic debug can produce this is not desirable. So make dynamic_emit_prefix() fill a char buf[64] instead of doing a printk directly. If we enable printing out of function, module, line, or pid info, they are placed in this 64 byte buffer. In my testing 64 bytes was enough size to fulfill all requests. Even if it's not, we can match up the printk itself to see where it's from, so to me this is no big deal.

2011-10-01ARM: always use ARM_UNWIND for thumb2 kernelsArnd Bergmann
Thumb2 kernels cannot be built with frame pointers, but can use the ARM_UNWIND feature for unwinding instead. This makes sure that all features that rely on unwinding includeing CONFIG_LATENCYTOP and FAULT_INJECTION_STACKTRACE_FILTER do not enable frame pointers when the unwinder is already selected, and we always build with the unwinder when we want a thumb2 kernel, to make sure we do not get the frame pointers instead. A different option would be to redefine the CONFIG_FRAME_POINTERS option on ARM to mean builing with either frame pointers or the unwinder, and then select which one to use based on the CPU architecture or another user option. That would still allow building thumb2 kernels without the unwinder but would also be more confusing. Signed-off-by: Arnd Bergmann <arnd@arndb.de>
2011-09-21XZ: Fix incorrect XZ_BUF_ERRORLasse Collin
xz_dec_run() could incorrectly return XZ_BUF_ERROR if all of the following was true: - The caller knows how many bytes of output to expect and only provides that much output space. - When the last output bytes are decoded, the caller-provided input buffer ends right before the LZMA2 end of payload marker. So LZMA2 won't provide more output anymore, but it won't know it yet and thus won't return XZ_STREAM_END yet. - A BCJ filter is in use and it hasn't left any unfiltered bytes in the temp buffer. This can happen with any BCJ filter, but in practice it's more likely with filters other than the x86 BCJ. This fixes <https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=735408> where Squashfs thinks that a valid file system is corrupt. This also fixes a similar bug in single-call mode where the uncompressed size of a block using BCJ + LZMA2 was 0 bytes and caller provided no output space. Many empty .xz files don't contain any blocks and thus don't trigger this bug. This also tweaks a closely related detail: xz_dec_bcj_run() could call xz_dec_lzma2_run() to decode into temp buffer when it was known to be useless. This was harmless although it wasted a minuscule number of CPU cycles.

2011-08-06lib/sha1: use the git implementation of SHA-1Mandeep Singh Baines
For ChromiumOS, we use SHA-1 to verify the integrity of the root filesystem. The speed of the kernel sha-1 implementation has a major impact on our boot performance. To improve boot performance, we investigated using the heavily optimized sha-1 implementation used in git. With the git sha-1 implementation, we see a 11.7% improvement in boot time. 10 reboots, remove slowest/fastest. Before: Mean: 6.58 seconds Stdev: 0.14 After (with git sha-1, this patch): Mean: 5.89 seconds Stdev: 0.07 The other cool thing about the git SHA-1 implementation is that it only needs 64 bytes of stack for the workspace while the original kernel implementation needed 320 bytes.

2011-08-03tmpfs radix_tree: locate_item to speed up swapoffHugh Dickins
We have already acknowledged that swapoff of a tmpfs file is slower than it was before conversion to the generic radix_tree: a little slower there will be acceptable, if the hotter paths are faster. But it was a shock to find swapoff of a 500MB file 20 times slower on my laptop, taking 10 minutes; and at that rate it significantly slows down my testing. Now, most of that turned out to be overhead from PROVE_LOCKING and PROVE_RCU: without those it was only 4 times slower than before; and more realistic tests on other machines don't fare as badly. I've tried a number of things to improve it, including tagging the swap entries, then doing lookup by tag: I'd expected that to halve the time, but in practice it's erratic, and often counter-productive. The only change I've so far found to make a consistent improvement, is to short-circuit the way we go back and forth, gang lookup packing entries into the array supplied, then shmem scanning that array for the target entry. Scanning in place doubles the speed, so it's now only twice as slow as before (or three times slower when the PROVEs are on). So, add radix_tree_locate_item() as an expedient, once-off, single-caller hack to do the lookup directly in place. #ifdef it on CONFIG_SHMEM and CONFIG_SWAP, as much to document its limited applicability as save space in other configurations. And, sadly, #include sched.h for cond_resched().

2011-08-03radix_tree: exceptional entries and indicesHugh Dickins
A patchset to extend tmpfs to MAX_LFS_FILESIZE by abandoning its peculiar swap vector, instead keeping a file's swap entries in the same radix tree as its struct page pointers: thus saving memory, and simplifying its code and locking. This patch: The radix_tree is used by several subsystems for different purposes. A major use is to store the struct page pointers of a file's pagecache for memory management. But what if mm wanted to store something other than page pointers there too? The low bit of a radix_tree entry is already used to denote an indirect pointer, for internal use, and the unlikely radix_tree_deref_retry() case. Define the next bit as denoting an exceptional entry, and supply inline functions radix_tree_exception() to return non-0 in either unlikely case, and radix_tree_exceptional_entry() to return non-0 in the second case. If a subsystem already uses radix_tree with that bit set, no problem: it does not affect internal workings at all, but is defined for the convenience of those storing well-aligned pointers in the radix_tree. The radix_tree_gang_lookups have an implicit assumption that the caller can deduce the offset of each entry returned e.g. by the page->index of a struct page. But that may not be feasible for some kinds of item to be stored there. radix_tree_gang_lookup_slot() allow for an optional indices argument, output array in which to return those offsets. The same could be added to other radix_tree_gang_lookups, but for now keep it to the only one for which we need it.

2011-08-03fault-injection: add ability to export fault_attr in arbitrary directoryAkinobu Mita
init_fault_attr_dentries() is used to export fault_attr via debugfs. But it can only export it in debugfs root directory. Per Forlin is working on mmc_fail_request which adds support to inject data errors after a completed host transfer in MMC subsystem. The fault_attr for mmc_fail_request should be defined per mmc host and export it in debugfs directory per mmc host like /sys/kernel/debug/mmc0/mmc_fail_request. init_fault_attr_dentries() doesn't help for mmc_fail_request. So this introduces fault_create_debugfs_attr() which is able to create a directory in the arbitrary directory and replace init_fault_attr_dentries().

2011-08-03lib, Make gen_pool memory allocator locklessHuang Ying
This version of the gen_pool memory allocator supports lockless operation. This makes it safe to use in NMI handlers and other special unblockable contexts that could otherwise deadlock on locks. This is implemented by using atomic operations and retries on any conflicts. The disadvantage is that there may be livelocks in extreme cases. For better scalability, one gen_pool allocator can be used for each CPU. The lockless operation only works if there is enough memory available. If new memory is added to the pool a lock has to be still taken. So any user relying on locklessness has to ensure that sufficient memory is preallocated. The basic atomic operation of this allocator is cmpxchg on long. On architectures that don't have NMI-safe cmpxchg implementation, the allocator can NOT be used in NMI handler. So code uses the allocator in NMI handler should depend on CONFIG_ARCH_HAVE_NMI_SAFE_CMPXCHG.

2011-08-03lib, Add lock-less NULL terminated single listHuang Ying
Cmpxchg is used to implement adding new entry to the list, deleting all entries from the list, deleting first entry of the list and some other operations. Because this is a single list, so the tail can not be accessed in O(1). If there are multiple producers and multiple consumers, llist_add can be used in producers and llist_del_all can be used in consumers. They can work simultaneously without lock. But llist_del_first can not be used here. Because llist_del_first depends on list->first->next does not changed if list->first is not changed during its operation, but llist_del_first, llist_add, llist_add (or llist_del_all, llist_add, llist_add) sequence in another consumer may violate that. If there are multiple producers and one consumer, llist_add can be used in producers and llist_del_all or llist_del_first can be used in the consumer. This can be summarized as follow: | add | del_first | del_all add | - | - | - del_first | | L | L del_all | | | - Where "-" stands for no lock is needed, while "L" stands for lock is needed. The list entries deleted via llist_del_all can be traversed with traversing function such as llist_for_each etc. But the list entries can not be traversed safely before deleted from the list. The order of deleted entries is from the newest to the oldest added one. If you want to traverse from the oldest to the newest, you must reverse the order by yourself before traversing. The basic atomic operation of this list is cmpxchg on long. On architectures that don't have NMI-safe cmpxchg implementation, the list can NOT be used in NMI handler. So code uses the list in NMI handler should depend on CONFIG_ARCH_HAVE_NMI_SAFE_CMPXCHG.

2011-07-26cpusets: randomize node rotor used in cpuset_mem_spread_node()Michal Hocko
[ This patch has already been accepted as commit 0ac0c0d0f837 but later reverted (commit 35926ff5fba8) because it itroduced arch specific __node_random which was defined only for x86 code so it broke other archs. This is a followup without any arch specific code. Other than that there are no functional changes.] Some workloads that create a large number of small files tend to assign too many pages to node 0 (multi-node systems). Part of the reason is that the rotor (in cpuset_mem_spread_node()) used to assign nodes starts at node 0 for newly created tasks. This patch changes the rotor to be initialized to a random node number of the cpuset.
