      sparc: Break up monolithic iommu table/lock into finer graularity pools and lock · 10b88a4b
      Sowmini Varadhan 提交于
      Investigation of multithreaded iperf experiments on an ethernet
      interface show the iommu->lock as the hottest lock identified by
      lockstat, with something of the order of  21M contentions out of
      27M acquisitions, and an average wait time of 26 us for the lock.
      This is not efficient. A more scalable design is to follow the ppc
      model, where the iommu_table has multiple pools, each stretching
      over a segment of the map, and with a separate lock for each pool.
      This model allows for better parallelization of the iommu map search.
      
      This patch adds the iommu range alloc/free function infrastructure.

      Merge tag 'arm64-upstream' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/arm64/linux · 714d8e7e
      Linus Torvalds 提交于
      Pull arm64 updates from Will Deacon:
       "Here are the core arm64 updates for 4.1.
      
        Highlights include a significant rework to head.S (allowing us to boot
        on machines with physical memory at a really high address), an AES
        performance boost on Cortex-A57 and the ability to run a 32-bit
        userspace with 64k pages (although this requires said userspace to be
        built with a recent binutils).
      
        The head.S rework spilt over into KVM, so there are some changes under
        arch/arm/ which have been acked by Marc Zyngier (KVM co-maintainer).
        In particular, the linker script changes caused us some issues in
        -next, so there are a few merge commits where we had to apply fixes on
        top of a stable branch.
      
        Other changes include:
      
         - AES performance boost for Cortex-A57
         - AArch32 (compat) userspace with 64k pages
         - Cortex-A53 erratum workaround for #845719
         - defconfig updates (new platforms, PCI, ...)"
