      mm: add PageWaiters indicating tasks are waiting for a page bit · 62906027
      Nicholas Piggin 提交于
      Add a new page flag, PageWaiters, to indicate the page waitqueue has
      tasks waiting. This can be tested rather than testing waitqueue_active
      which requires another cacheline load.
      
      This bit is always set when the page has tasks on page_waitqueue(page),
      and is set and cleared under the waitqueue lock. It may be set when
      there are no tasks on the waitqueue, which will cause a harmless extra
      wakeup check that will clears the bit.
      
      The generic bit-waitqueue infrastructure is no longer used for pages.
      Instead, waitqueues are used directly with a custom key type. The
      generic code was not flexible enough to have PageWaiters manipulation
      under the waitqueue lock (which simplifies concurrency).
      
      This improves the performance of page lock intensive microbenchmarks by
      2-3%.
      
      Putting two bits in the same word opens the opportunity to remove the
      memory barrier between clearing the lock bit and testing the waiters
      bit, after some work on the arch primitives (e.g., ensuring memory
      operand widths match and cover both bits).

      A page is not added to the swap cache without being swap backed,
      so PageSwapBacked mappings can use PG_owner_priv_1 for PageSwapCache.

      ktime_set(S,N) was required for the timespec storage type and is still
      useful for situations where a Seconds and Nanoseconds part of a time value
      needs to be converted. For anything where the Seconds argument is 0, this
      is pointless and can be replaced with a simple assignment.

      ktime: Get rid of the union · 2456e855
      Thomas Gleixner 提交于
      ktime is a union because the initial implementation stored the time in
      scalar nanoseconds on 64 bit machine and in a endianess optimized timespec
      variant for 32bit machines. The Y2038 cleanup removed the timespec variant
      and switched everything to scalar nanoseconds. The union remained, but
      become completely pointless.
      
      Get rid of the union and just keep ktime_t as simple typedef of type s64.
      
      The conversion was done with coccinelle and some manual mopping up.

      ACPICA: Tables: Back port acpi_get_table_with_size() and... · 174cc718
      Lv Zheng 提交于
      ACPICA: Tables: Back port acpi_get_table_with_size() and early_acpi_os_unmap_memory() from Linux kernel
      
      ACPICA commit cac6790954d4d752a083e6122220b8a22febcd07
      
      This patch back ports Linux acpi_get_table_with_size() and
      early_acpi_os_unmap_memory() into ACPICA upstream to reduce divergences.
      
      The 2 APIs are used by Linux as table management APIs for long time, it
      contains a hidden logic that during the early stage, the mapped tables
      should be unmapped before the early stage ends.
      
      During the early stage, tables are handled by the following sequence:
       acpi_get_table_with_size();
       parse the table
       early_acpi_os_unmap_memory();
      During the late stage, tables are handled by the following sequence:
       acpi_get_table();
       parse the table
      Linux uses acpi_gbl_permanent_mmap to distinguish the early stage and the
      late stage.
      
      The reasoning of introducing acpi_get_table_with_size() is: ACPICA will
      remember the early mapped pointer in acpi_get_table() and Linux isn't able to
      prevent ACPICA from using the wrong early mapped pointer during the late
      stage as there is no API provided from ACPICA to be an inverse of
      acpi_get_table() to forget the early mapped pointer.
      
      But how ACPICA can work with the early/late stage requirement? Inside of
      ACPICA, tables are ensured to be remained in "INSTALLED" state during the
      early stage, and they are carefully not transitioned to "VALIDATED" state
      until the late stage. So the same logic is in fact implemented inside of
      ACPICA in a different way. The gap is only that the feature is not provided
      to the OSPMs in an accessible external API style.
      
      It then is possible to fix the gap by providing an inverse of
      acpi_get_table() from ACPICA, so that the two Linux sequences can be
      combined:
       acpi_get_table();
       parse the table
       acpi_put_table();
      In order to work easier with the current Linux code, acpi_get_table() and
      acpi_put_table() is implemented in a usage counting based style:
       1. When the usage count of the table is increased from 0 to 1, table is
          mapped and .Pointer is set with the mapping address (VALIDATED);
       2. When the usage count of the table is decreased from 1 to 0, .Pointer
          is unset and the mapping address is unmapped (INVALIDATED).
      So that we can deploy the new APIs to Linux with minimal effort by just
      invoking acpi_get_table() in acpi_get_table_with_size() and invoking
      acpi_put_table() in early_acpi_os_unmap_memory(). Lv Zheng.

      dt: bindings: net: use boolean dt properties for eee broken modes · 308d3165
      jbrunet 提交于
      The patches regarding eee-broken-modes was merged before all people
      involved could find an agreement on the best way to move forward.
      
      While we agreed on having a DT property to mark particular modes as broken,
      the value used for eee-broken-modes mapped the phy register in very direct
      way. Because of this, the concern is that it could be used to implement
      configuration policies instead of describing a broken HW.
      
      In the end, having a boolean property for each mode seems to be preferred
      over one bit field value mapping the register (too) directly.

      ratelimit: fix WARN_ON_RATELIMIT return value · 1b011e2f
      Jiri Slaby 提交于
      The macro is to be used similarly as WARN_ON as:
      
        if (WARN_ON_RATELIMIT(condition, state))
      	do_something();
      
      One would expect only 'condition' to affect the 'if', but
      WARN_ON_RATELIMIT does internally only:
      
        WARN_ON((condition) && __ratelimit(state))
      
      So the 'if' is affected by the ratelimiting state too.  Fix this by
      returning 'condition' in any case.
      
      Note that nobody uses WARN_ON_RATELIMIT yet, so there is nothing to
      worry about.  But I was about to use it and was a bit surprised.

      ima: on soft reboot, save the measurement list · 7b8589cc
      Mimi Zohar 提交于
      The TPM PCRs are only reset on a hard reboot.  In order to validate a
      TPM's quote after a soft reboot (eg.  kexec -e), the IMA measurement
      list of the running kernel must be saved and restored on boot.
      
      This patch uses the kexec buffer passing mechanism to pass the
      serialized IMA binary_runtime_measurements to the next kernel.
