Instead of taking the spinlock, the lockless versions atomically check
that the lock is not taken, and do the reference count update using a
cmpxchg() loop. This is semantically identical to doing the reference
count update protected by the lock, but avoids the "wait for lock"
contention that you get when accesses to the reference count are
contended.
Note that a "lockref" is absolutely _not_ equivalent to an atomic_t.
Even when the lockref reference counts are updated atomically with
cmpxchg, the fact that they also verify the state of the spinlock means
that the lockless updates can never happen while somebody else holds the
spinlock.
So while "lockref_put_or_lock()" looks a lot like just another name for
"atomic_dec_and_lock()", and both optimize to lockless updates, they are
fundamentally different: the decrement done by atomic_dec_and_lock() is
truly independent of any lock (as long as it doesn't decrement to zero),
so a locked region can still see the count change.
The lockref structure, in contrast, really is a *locked* reference
count. If you hold the spinlock, the reference count will be stable and
you can modify the reference count without using atomics, because even
the lockless updates will see and respect the state of the lock.
In order to enable the cmpxchg lockless code, the architecture needs to
do three things:
(1) Make sure that the "arch_spinlock_t" and an "unsigned int" can fit
in an aligned u64, and have a "cmpxchg()" implementation that works
on such a u64 data type.
(2) define a helper function to test for a spinlock being unlocked
("arch_spin_value_unlocked()")
(3) select the "ARCH_USE_CMPXCHG_LOCKREF" config variable in its
Kconfig file.
This enables it for x86-64 (but not 32-bit, we'd need to make sure
cmpxchg() turns into the proper cmpxchg8b in order to enable it for
32-bit mode).

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.

Implement a simple static OID registry that allows the mapping of an encoded
OID to an enum value for ease of use.
The OID registry index enum appears in the:
linux/oid_registry.h
header file. A script generates the registry from lines in the header file
that look like:
<sp*>OID_foo,<sp*>/*<sp*>1.2.3.4<sp*>*/
The actual OID is taken to be represented by the numbers with interpolated
dots in the comment.
All other lines in the header are ignored.
The registry is queries by calling:
OID look_up_oid(const void *data, size_t datasize);
This returns a number from the registry enum representing the OID if found or
OID__NR if not.

This makes <asm/word-at-a-time.h> actually live up to its promise of
allowing architectures to help tune the string functions that do their
work a word at a time.
David had already taken the x86 strncpy_from_user() function, modified
it to work on sparc, and then done the extra work to make it generically
useful. This then expands on that work by making x86 use that generic
version, completing the circle.
But more importantly, it fixes up the word-at-a-time interfaces so that
it's now easy to also support things like strnlen_user(), and pretty
much most random string functions.
David reports that it all works fine on sparc, and Jonas Bonn reported
that an earlier version of this worked on OpenRISC too. It's pretty
easy for architectures to add support for this and just replace their
private versions with the generic code.
* generic-string-functions:
sparc: use the new generic strnlen_user() function
x86: use the new generic strnlen_user() function
lib: add generic strnlen_user() function
word-at-a-time: make the interfaces truly generic
x86: use generic strncpy_from_user routine
A number of devices are using a common register layout, this adds support
code for it in lib/stmp_device.c so we do not need to duplicate it in
each driver.

This adds a new generic optimized strnlen_user() function that uses the
<asm/word-at-a-time.h> infrastructure to portably do efficient string
handling.
In many ways, strnlen is much simpler than strncpy, and in particular we
can always pre-align the words we load from memory. That means that all
the worries about alignment etc are a non-issue, so this one can easily
be used on any architecture. You obviously do have to do the
appropriate word-at-a-time.h macros.

MX23/28 use IP cores which follow a register layout I have first seen on
STMP3xxx SoCs. In this layout, every register actually has four u32:
1.) to store a value directly
2.) a SET register where every 1-bit sets the corresponding bit,
others are unaffected
3.) same with a CLR register
4.) same with a TOG (toggle) register
Also, the 2 MSBs in register 0 are always the same and can be used to reset
the IP core.
All this is strictly speaking not mach-specific (but IP core specific) and,
thus, doesn't need to be in mach-mxs/include. At least mx6 also uses IP cores
following this stmp-style. So:
Introduce a stmp-style device, put the code and defines for that in a public
place (lib/), and let drivers for stmp-style devices select that code.
To avoid regressions and ease reviewing, the actual code is simply copied from
mach-mxs. It definately wants updates, but those need a seperate patch series.
Voila, mach dependency gone, reusable code introduced. Note that I didn't
remove the duplicated code from mach-mxs yet, first the drivers have to be
converted.

Replace the unit test provided in crc32.c, which doesn't have a makefile
and doesn't compile with current headers, with a simpler self test
routine that also gives a measure of performance and runs at module init
time. The self test option can be enabled through a configuration
option CONFIG_CRC32_SELFTEST.
The test stresses the pre and post loops and is thus not very realistic
since actual uses will likely have addresses and lengths that are at
least 4 byte aligned. However, the main loop is long enough so that the
performance is dominated by that loop.
The expected values for crc32_le and crc32_be were generated with the
original version of crc32.c using CRC_BITS_LE = 8 and CRC_BITS_BE = 8.
These values were then used to check all the values of the BITS
parameters in both the original and new versions.
The performance results show some variability from run to run in spite
of attempts to both warm the cache and reduce the amount of OS noise by
limiting interrutps during the test. To get comparable results and to
analyse options wrt performance the best time reported over a small
sample of runs has been taken.

arch: fix ioport mapping on mips,sh
Kevin Cernekee reported that recent cleanup that replaced pci_iomap with
a generic function failed to take into account the differences in io
port handling on mips and sh architectures.
Rather than revert the changes reintroducing the code duplication, this

Implementation of dynamic queue limits (dql). This is a libary which
allows a queue limit to be dynamically managed. The goal of dql is
to set the queue limit, number of objects to the queue, to be minimized
without allowing the queue to be starved.
dql would be used with a queue which has these properties:
1) Objects are queued up to some limit which can be expressed as a
count of objects.
2) Periodically a completion process executes which retires consumed
objects.
3) Starvation occurs when limit has been reached, all queued data has
actually been consumed but completion processing has not yet run,
so queuing new data is blocked.
4) Minimizing the amount of queued data is desirable.
A canonical example of such a queue would be a NIC HW transmit queue.
The queue limit is dynamic, it will increase or decrease over time
depending on the workload. The queue limit is recalculated each time
completion processing is done. Increases occur when the queue is
starved and can exponentially increase over successive intervals.
Decreases occur when more data is being maintained in the queue than
needed to prevent starvation. The number of extra objects, or "slack",
is measured over successive intervals, and to avoid hysteresis the
limit is only reduced by the miminum slack seen over a configurable
time period.
dql API provides routines to manage the queue:
- dql_init is called to intialize the dql structure
- dql_reset is called to reset dynamic values
- dql_queued called when objects are being enqueued
- dql_avail returns availability in the queue
- dql_completed is called when objects have be consumed in the queue
Configuration consists of:
- max_limit, maximum limit
- min_limit, minimum limit
- slack_hold_time, time to measure instances of slack before reducing
queue limit

This patch implements RSA digital signature verification using GnuPG library.
The format of the signature and the public key is defined by their respective
headers. The signature header contains version information, algorithm,
and keyid, which was used to generate the signature.
The key header contains version and algorythim type.
The payload of the signature and the key are multi-precision integers.
The signing and key management utilities evm-utils provide functionality
to generate signatures and load keys into the kernel keyring.
When the key is added to the kernel keyring, the keyid defines the name

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.

NOTE!
This merge commit was created to fix compilation error. The block
tree was merged upstream and removed the 'elv_queue_empty()'
function which the new 'mtdswap' driver is using. So a simple
merge of the mtd tree with upstream does not compile. And the
mtd tree has already be published, so re-basing it is not an option.
To fix this unfortunate situation, I had to merge upstream into the
mtd-2.6.git tree without committing, put the fixup patch on top of
this, and then commit this. The result is that we do not have commits
which do not compile.
In other words, this merge commit "merges" 3 things: the MTD tree, the
upstream tree, and the fixup patch.
This introduces CONFIG_GENERIC_FIND_BIT_LE to tell whether to use generic
implementation of find_*_bit_le() in lib/find_next_bit.c or not.
For now we select CONFIG_GENERIC_FIND_BIT_LE for all architectures which

But m68knommu wants to define own faster find_next_zero_bit_le() and
continues using generic find_next_{,zero_}bit().

This is a new software BCH encoding/decoding library, similar to the shared
Reed-Solomon library.
Binary BCH (Bose-Chaudhuri-Hocquenghem) codes are widely used to correct
errors in NAND flash devices requiring more than 1-bit ecc correction; they
are generally better suited for NAND flash than RS codes because NAND bit
errors do not occur in bursts. Latest SLC NAND devices typically require at
least 4-bit ecc protection per 512 bytes block.
This library provides software encoding/decoding, but may also be used with
ASIC/SoC hardware BCH engines to perform error correction. It is being
currently used for this purpose on an OMAP3630 board (4bit/8bit HW BCH). It
has also been used to decode raw dumps of NAND devices with on-die BCH ecc
engines (e.g. Micron 4bit ecc SLC devices).
Latest NAND devices (including SLC) can exhibit high error rates (typically
a dozen or more bitflips per hour during stress tests); in order to
minimize the performance impact of error correction, this library
implements recently developed algorithms for fast polynomial root finding
(see bch.c header for details) instead of the traditional exhaustive Chien
root search; a few performance figures are provided below:
Platform: arm926ejs @ 468 MHz, 32 KiB icache, 16 KiB dcache
BCH ecc : 4-bit per 512 bytes
Encoding average throughput: 250 Mbits/s
Error correction time (compared with Chien search):
average worst average (Chien) worst (Chien)
----------------------------------------------------------
1 bit 8.5 µs 11 µs 200 µs 383 µs
2 bit 9.7 µs 12.5 µs 477 µs 728 µs
3 bit 18.1 µs 20.6 µs 758 µs 1010 µs
4 bit 19.5 µs 23 µs 1028 µs 1280 µs
In the above figures, "worst" is meant in terms of error pattern, not in
terms of cache miss / page faults effects (not taken into account here).
The library has been extensively tested on the following platforms: x86,
x86_64, arm926ejs, omap3630, qemu-ppc64, qemu-mips.

This implements the API defined in <linux/decompress/generic.h> which is
used for kernel, initramfs, and initrd decompression. This patch together
with the first patch is enough for XZ-compressed initramfs and initrd;
XZ-compressed kernel will need arch-specific changes.
The buffering requirements described in decompress_unxz.c are stricter
than with gzip, so the relevant changes should be done to the
arch-specific code when adding support for XZ-compressed kernel.
Similarly, the heap size in arch-specific pre-boot code may need to be
increased (30 KiB is enough).
The XZ decompressor needs memmove(), memeq() (memcmp() == 0), and
memzero() (memset(ptr, 0, size)), which aren't available in all
arch-specific pre-boot environments. I'm including simple versions in
decompress_unxz.c, but a cleaner solution would naturally be nicer.

In userspace, the .lzma format has become mostly a legacy file format that
got superseded by the .xz format. Similarly, LZMA Utils was superseded by
XZ Utils.
These patches add support for XZ decompression into the kernel. Most of
the code is as is from XZ Embedded <http://tukaani.org/xz/embedded.html>.
It was written for the Linux kernel but is usable in other projects too.
Advantages of XZ over the current LZMA code in the kernel:
- Nice API that can be used by other kernel modules; it's
not limited to kernel, initramfs, and initrd decompression.
- Integrity check support (CRC32)
- BCJ filters improve compression of executable code on
certain architectures. These together with LZMA2 can
produce a few percent smaller kernel or Squashfs images
than plain LZMA without making the decompression slower.
This patch: Add the main decompression code (xz_dec), testing module
(xz_dec_test), wrapper script (xz_wrap.sh) for the xz command line tool,
and documentation. The xz_dec module is enough to have a usable XZ
decompressor e.g. for Squashfs.

This adds generic functions for calculating Exponentially Weighted Moving
Averages (EWMA). This implementation makes use of a structure which keeps the
EWMA parameters and a scaled up internal representation to reduce rounding
errors.
The original idea for this implementation came from the rt2x00 driver
(rt2x00link.c). I would like to use it in several places in the mac80211 and
ath5k code and I hope it can be useful in many other places in the kernel code.

This reverts commit a069c266ae.
It turns ou that not only was it missing a case (XFS) that needed it,
but perhaps more importantly, people sometimes want to enable new
modules that they hadn't had enabled before, and if such a module uses
list_sort(), it can't easily be inserted any more.
So rather than add a "select LIST_SORT" to the XFS case, just leave it
compiled in. It's not all _that_ big, after all, and the inconvenience
isn't worth it.

Many processor architectures have no 64-bit atomic instructions, but
we need atomic64_t in order to support the perf_counter subsystem.
This adds an implementation of 64-bit atomic operations using hashed
spinlocks to provide atomicity. For each atomic operation, the address
of the atomic64_t variable is hashed to an index into an array of 16
spinlocks. That spinlock is taken (with interrupts disabled) around the
operation, which can then be coded non-atomically within the lock.
On UP, all the spinlock manipulation goes away and we simply disable
interrupts around each operation. In fact gcc eliminates the whole
atomic64_lock variable as well.

This patch swaps the role of libcrc32c and crc32c. Previously

I added an always-y option (X86_CPU) to arch/x86/Kconfig.cpu

way ARCH=um SUBARCH=i386 automatically picks up the change
too, and arch/um/Kconfig.i386 can therefore be simplified a

Other architectures that include dma-mapping-broken.h are arm26, h8300,

A finite state machine consists of n states (struct ts_fsm_token)
representing the pattern as a finite automation. The data is read
sequentially on a octet basis. Every state token specifies the number
of recurrences and the type of value accepted which can be either a
specific character or ctype based set of characters. The available
type of recurrences include 1, (0|1), [0 n], and [1 n].
The algorithm differs between strict/non-strict mode specyfing
whether the pattern has to start at the first octect. Strict mode
is enabled by default and can be disabled by inserting
TS_FSM_HEAD_IGNORE as the first token in the chain.
The runtime performance of the algorithm should be around O(n),
however while in strict mode the average runtime can be better.

Implements a linear-time string-matching algorithm due to Knuth,
Morris, and Pratt [1]. Their algorithm avoids the explicit
computation of the transition function DELTA altogether. Its
matching time is O(n), for n being length(text), using just an
auxiliary function PI[1..m], for m being length(pattern),
precomputed from the pattern in time O(m). The array PI allows
the transition function DELTA to be computed efficiently
"on the fly" as needed. Roughly speaking, for any state
"q" = 0,1,...,m and any character "a" in SIGMA, the value
PI["q"] contains the information that is independent of "a" and
is needed to compute DELTA("q", "a") [2]. Since the array PI
has only m entries, whereas DELTA has O(m|SIGMA|) entries, we
save a factor of |SIGMA| in the preprocessing time by computing
PI rather than DELTA.

This patch contains the ia64 uncached page allocator and the generic
allocator (genalloc). The uncached allocator was formerly part of the SN2
mspec driver but there are several other users of it so it has been split
off from the driver.
The generic allocator can be used by device driver to manage special memory
etc. The generic allocator is based on the allocator from the sym53c8xx_2
driver.
Various users on ia64 needs uncached memory. The SGI SN architecture requires
it for inter-partition communication between partitions within a large NUMA
cluster. The specific user for this is the XPC code. Another application is
large MPI style applications which use it for synchronization, on SN this can
be done using special 'fetchop' operations but it also benefits non SN
hardware which may use regular uncached memory for this purpose. Performance
of doing this through uncached vs cached memory is pretty substantial. This
is handled by the mspec driver which I will push out in a seperate patch.
Rather than creating a specific allocator for just uncached memory I came up
with genalloc which is a generic purpose allocator that can be used by device
drivers and other subsystems as they please. For instance to handle onboard
device memory. It was derived from the sym53c7xx_2 driver's allocator which
is also an example of a potential user (I am refraining from modifying sym2
right now as it seems to have been under fairly heavy development recently).
On ia64 memory has various properties within a granule, ie. it isn't safe to
access memory as uncached within the same granule as currently has memory
accessed in cached mode. The regular system therefore doesn't utilize memory
in the lower granules which is mixed in with device PAL code etc. The
uncached driver walks the EFI memmap and pulls out the spill uncached pages
and sticks them into the uncached pool. Only after these chunks have been
utilized, will it start converting regular cached memory into uncached memory.
Hence the reason for the EFI related code additions.
