x86, hweight: Fix BUG when booting with CONFIG_GCOV_PROFILE_ALL=y

2014-02-20T19:08:01Z

commit 6583327c4dd55acbbf2a6f25e775b28b3abf9a42 upstream. Commit d61931d89b, "x86: Add optimized popcnt variants" introduced compile flag -fcall-saved-rdi for lib/hweight.c. When combined with options -fprofile-arcs and -O2, this flag causes gcc to generate broken constructor code. As a result, a 64 bit x86 kernel compiled with CONFIG_GCOV_PROFILE_ALL=y prints message "gcov: could not create file" and runs into sproadic BUGs during boot. The gcc people indicate that these kinds of problems are endemic when using ad hoc calling conventions. It is therefore best to treat any file compiled with ad hoc calling conventions as an isolated environment and avoid things like profiling or coverage analysis, since those subsystems assume a "normal" calling conventions. This patch avoids the bug by excluding lib/hweight.o from coverage profiling.

Pull SCSI target updates from Nicholas Bellinger: "Lots of activity again this round for I/O performance optimizations (per-cpu IDA pre-allocation for vhost + iscsi/target), and the addition of new fabric independent features to target-core (COMPARE_AND_WRITE + EXTENDED_COPY). The main highlights include: - Support for iscsi-target login multiplexing across individual network portals - Generic Per-cpu IDA logic (kent + akpm + clameter) - Conversion of vhost to use per-cpu IDA pre-allocation for descriptors, SGLs and userspace page pointer list - Conversion of iscsi-target + iser-target to use per-cpu IDA pre-allocation for descriptors - Add support for generic COMPARE_AND_WRITE (AtomicTestandSet) emulation for virtual backend drivers - Add support for generic EXTENDED_COPY (CopyOffload) emulation for virtual backend drivers. - Add support for fast memory registration mode to iser-target (Vu) The patches to add COMPARE_AND_WRITE and EXTENDED_COPY support are of particular significance, which make us the first and only open source target to support the full set of VAAI primitives. Currently Linux clients are lacking upstream support to actually utilize these primitives. However, with server side support now in place for folks like MKP + ZAB working on the client, this logic once reserved for the highest end of storage arrays, can now be run in VMs on their laptops" * 'for-next' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/nab/target-pending: (50 commits) target/iscsi: Bump versions to v4.1.0 target: Update copyright ownership/year information to 2013 iscsi-target: Bump default TCP listen backlog to 256 target: Fix >= v3.9+ regression in PR APTPL + ALUA metadata write-out iscsi-target; Bump default CmdSN Depth to 64 iscsi-target: Remove unnecessary wait_for_completion in iscsi_get_thread_set iscsi-target: Add thread_set->ts_activate_sem + use common deallocate iscsi-target: Fix race with thread_pre_handler flush_signals + ISCSI_THREAD_SET_DIE target: remove unused including iser-target: introduce fast memory registration mode (FRWR) iser-target: generalize rdma memory registration and cleanup iser-target: move rdma wr processing to a shared function target: Enable global EXTENDED_COPY setup/release target: Add Third Party Copy (3PC) bit in INQUIRY response target: Enable EXTENDED_COPY setup in spc_parse_cdb target: Add support for EXTENDED_COPY copy offload emulation target: Avoid non-existent tg_pt_gp_mem in target_alua_state_check target: Add global device list for EXTENDED_COPY target: Make helpers non static for EXTENDED_COPY command setup target: Make spc_parse_naa_6h_vendor_specific non static ...

idr: Percpu ida

2013-09-09T21:29:15Z

Percpu frontend for allocating ids. With percpu allocation (that works), it's impossible to guarantee it will always be possible to allocate all nr_tags - typically, some will be stuck on a remote percpu freelist where the current job can't get to them. We do guarantee that it will always be possible to allocate at least (nr_tags / 2) tags - this is done by keeping track of which and how many cpus have tags on their percpu freelists. On allocation failure if enough cpus have tags that there could potentially be (nr_tags / 2) tags stuck on remote percpu freelists, we then pick a remote cpu at random to steal from. Note that there's no cpu hotplug notifier - we don't care, because steal_tags() will eventually get the down cpu's tags. We _could_ satisfy more allocations if we had a notifier - but we'll still meet our guarantees and it's absolutely not a correctness issue, so I don't think it's worth the extra code. From akpm: "It looks OK to me (that's as close as I get to an ack :)) v6 changes: - Add #include to include/linux/percpu_ida.h to make alpha/arc builds happy (Fengguang) - Move second (cpu >= nr_cpu_ids) check inside of first check scope in steal_tags() (akpm + nab) v5 changes: - Change percpu_ida->cpus_have_tags to cpumask_t (kmo + akpm) - Add comment for percpu_ida_cpu->lock + ->nr_free (kmo + akpm) - Convert steal_tags() to use cpumask_weight() + cpumask_next() + cpumask_first() + cpumask_clear_cpu() (kmo + akpm) - Add comment for alloc_global_tags() (kmo + akpm) - Convert percpu_ida_alloc() to use cpumask_set_cpu() (kmo + akpm) - Convert percpu_ida_free() to use cpumask_set_cpu() (kmo + akpm) - Drop percpu_ida->cpus_have_tags allocation in percpu_ida_init() (kmo + akpm) - Drop percpu_ida->cpus_have_tags kfree in percpu_ida_destroy() (kmo + akpm) - Add comment for percpu_ida_alloc @ gfp (kmo + akpm) - Move to percpu_ida.c + percpu_ida.h (kmo + akpm + nab) v4 changes: - Fix tags.c reference in percpu_ida_init (akpm) Signed-off-by: Kent Overstreet Cc: Tejun Heo Cc: Oleg Nesterov Cc: Christoph Lameter Cc: Ingo Molnar Cc: Andi Kleen Cc: Jens Axboe Cc: "Nicholas A.

lockref: uninline lockref helper functions

2013-09-02T18:58:20Z

They aren't very good to inline, since they already call external functions (the spinlock code), and we're going to create rather more complicated versions of them that can do the reference count updates locklessly. Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

lib: add lz4 compressor module

2013-07-09T17:33:30Z

This patchset is for supporting LZ4 compression and the crypto API using it. As shown below, the size of data is a little bit bigger but compressing speed is faster under the enabled unaligned memory access. We can use lz4 de/compression through crypto API as well. Also, It will be useful for another potential user of lz4 compression. lz4 Compression Benchmark: Compiler: ARM gcc 4.6.4 ARMv7, 1 GHz based board Kernel: linux 3.4 Uncompressed data Size: 101 MB Compressed Size compression Speed LZO 72.1MB 32.1MB/s, 33.0MB/s(UA) LZ4 75.1MB 30.4MB/s, 35.9MB/s(UA) LZ4HC 59.8MB 2.4MB/s, 2.5MB/s(UA) - UA: Unaligned memory Access support - Latest patch set for LZO applied This patch: Add support for LZ4 compression in the Linux Kernel. LZ4 Compression APIs for kernel are based on LZ4 implementation by Yann Collet and were changed for kernel coding style. LZ4 homepage : http://fastcompression.blogspot.com/p/lz4.html LZ4 source repository : http://code.google.com/p/lz4/ svn revision : r90 Two APIs are added: lz4_compress() support basic lz4 compression whereas lz4hc_compress() support high compression or CPU performance get lower but compression ratio get higher. Also, we require the pre-allocated working memory with the defined size and destination buffer must be allocated with the size of lz4_compressbound.

lib: add weak clz/ctz functions

2013-07-09T17:33:30Z

Some architectures need __c[lt]z[sd]i2() for __builtin_c[lt]z[ll] and that causes a build failure. They can be implemented using the fls()/__ffs() and overridden by linking arch-specific versions may not be implemented yet. This is required by "lib: add lz4 compressor module".

lib: Move fonts from drivers/video/console/ to lib/fonts/

2013-06-28T08:28:22Z

Several drivers need font support independent of CONFIG_VT, cfr. commit 9cbce8d7e1dae0744ca4f68d62aa7de18196b6f4, "console/font: Refactor font support code selection logic"). Hence move the fonts and their support logic from drivers/video/console/ to its own library directory lib/fonts/. This also allows to limit processing of drivers/video/console/Makefile to CONFIG_VT=y again. [Kevin Hilman : Update arch/arm/boot/compressed/Makefile] Signed-off-by: Geert Uytterhoeven
