      backlight: lp855x_bl: support new LP8557 device · 26e8ccc2
      Kim, Milo 提交于
      LP8557 is one of LP855x family device, but it has different register map
      and initialization process.  To support this device, device specific
      configuration is done through the lp855x_device_config structure.
      
      Few register definitions are fixed for better readability.
        BRIGHTNESS_CTRL -> LP855X_BRIGHTNESS_CTRL
        DEVICE_CTRL     -> LP855X_DEVICE_CTRL
        EEPROM_START    -> LP855X_EEPROM_START
        EEPROM_END      -> LP855X_EEPROM_END
        EPROM_START     -> LP8556_EPROM_START
        EPROM_END       -> LP8556_EPROM_END
      
      And LP8557 register definitions are added.  New register function,
      lp855x_update_bit() is added.

      smp: make smp_call_function_many() use logic similar to smp_call_function_single() · 9a46ad6d
      Shaohua Li 提交于
      I'm testing swapout workload in a two-socket Xeon machine.  The workload
      has 10 threads, each thread sequentially accesses separate memory
      region.  TLB flush overhead is very big in the workload.  For each page,
      page reclaim need move it from active lru list and then unmap it.  Both
      need a TLB flush.  And this is a multthread workload, TLB flush happens
      in 10 CPUs.  In X86, TLB flush uses generic smp_call)function.  So this
      workload stress smp_call_function_many heavily.
      
      Without patch, perf shows:

      swapout throughput is around 1400M/s.  So there is around a 7%
      improvement, and total cpu utilization doesn't change.
      
      Without the patch, cfd_data is shared by all CPUs.
      generic_smp_call_function_interrupt does read/write cfd_data several times
      which will create a lot of cache ping-pong.  With the patch, the data
      becomes per-cpu.  The ping-pong is avoided.  And from the perf data, this
      doesn't make call_single_queue lock contend.
      
      Next step is to remove generic_smp_call_function_interrupt() from arch
      code.

      mm: only enforce stable page writes if the backing device requires it · 1d1d1a76
      Darrick J. Wong 提交于
      Create a helper function to check if a backing device requires stable
      page writes and, if so, performs the necessary wait.  Then, make it so
      that all points in the memory manager that handle making pages writable
      use the helper function.  This should provide stable page write support
      to most filesystems, while eliminating unnecessary waiting for devices
      that don't require the feature.
      
      Before this patchset, all filesystems would block, regardless of whether
      or not it was necessary.  ext3 would wait, but still generate occasional
      checksum errors.  The network filesystems were left to do their own
      thing, so they'd wait too.
      
      After this patchset, all the disk filesystems except ext3 and btrfs will
      wait only if the hardware requires it.  ext3 (if necessary) snapshots
      pages instead of blocking, and btrfs provides its own bdi so the mm will
      never wait.  Network filesystems haven't been touched, so either they
      provide their own stable page guarantees or they don't block at all.
      The blocking behavior is back to what it was before 3.0 if you don't
      have a disk requiring stable page writes.
      
      Here's the result of using dbench to test latency on ext2:
      
      3.8.0-rc3:
       Operation      Count    AvgLat    MaxLat
       ----------------------------------------
       WriteX        109347     0.028    59.817
       ReadX         347180     0.004     3.391
       Flush          15514    29.828   287.283
      
      Throughput 57.429 MB/sec  4 clients  4 procs  max_latency=287.290 ms

       WriteX        105556     0.029     4.273

      Throughput 55.4496 MB/sec  4 clients  4 procs  max_latency=298.650 ms
      
      As you can see, the maximum write latency drops considerably with this
      patch enabled.  The other filesystems (ext3/ext4/xfs/btrfs) behave
      similarly, but see the cover letter for those results.

      bdi: allow block devices to say that they require stable page writes · 7d311cda
      Darrick J. Wong 提交于
      This patchset ("stable page writes, part 2") makes some key
      modifications to the original 'stable page writes' patchset.  First, it
      provides creators (devices and filesystems) of a backing_dev_info a flag
      that declares whether or not it is necessary to ensure that page
      contents cannot change during writeout.  It is no longer assumed that
      this is true of all devices (which was never true anyway).  Second, the
      flag is used to relaxed the wait_on_page_writeback calls so that wait
      only occurs if the device needs it.  Third, it fixes up the remaining
      disk-backed filesystems to use this improved conditional-wait logic to
      provide stable page writes on those filesystems.
      
      It is hoped that (for people not using checksumming devices, anyway)
      this patchset will give back unnecessary performance decreases since the
      original stable page write patchset went into 3.0.  Sorry about not
      fixing it sooner.
      
      Complaints were registered by several people about the long write
      latencies introduced by the original stable page write patchset.
      Generally speaking, the kernel ought to allocate as little extra memory
      as possible to facilitate writeout, but for people who simply cannot
      wait, a second page stability strategy is (re)introduced: snapshotting
      page contents.  The waiting behavior is still the default strategy; to
      enable page snapshotting, a superblock flag (MS_SNAP_STABLE) must be
      set.  This flag is used to bandaid^Henable stable page writeback on
      ext3[1], and is not used anywhere else.
      
      Given that there are already a few storage devices and network FSes that
      have rolled their own page stability wait/page snapshot code, it would
      be nice to move towards consolidating all of these.  It seems possible
      that iscsi and raid5 may wish to use the new stable page write support
      to enable zero-copy writeout.
      
      Thank you to Jan Kara for helping fix a couple more filesystems.
      
      Per Andrew Morton's request, here are the result of using dbench to measure
      latencies on ext2:
      
      3.8.0-rc3:
         Operation      Count    AvgLat    MaxLat
         ----------------------------------------
         WriteX        109347     0.028    59.817

        Throughput 55.4496 MB/sec  4 clients  4 procs  max_latency=298.650 ms
      
      As you can see, for ext2 the maximum write latency decreases from ~60ms
      on a laptop hard disk to ~4ms.  I'm not sure why the flush latencies
      increase, though I suspect that being able to dirty pages faster gives
      the flusher more work to do.
      
      On ext4, the average write latency decreases as well as all the maximum
      latencies:
      
      3.8.0-rc3:
         WriteX         85624     0.152    33.078

        Throughput 44.9941 MB/sec  4 clients  4 procs  max_latency=165.722 ms
      
      XFS seems to exhibit similar latency improvements as ext2:
      
      3.8.0-rc3:
         WriteX        125739     0.028   104.343

      ...and btrfs, just to round things out, also shows some latency
      decreases:

        Throughput 34.0795 MB/sec  4 clients  4 procs  max_latency=219.044 ms
      
      Before this patchset, all filesystems would block, regardless of whether
      or not it was necessary.  ext3 would wait, but still generate occasional
      checksum errors.  The network filesystems were left to do their own
      thing, so they'd wait too.
      
      After this patchset, all the disk filesystems except ext3 and btrfs will
      wait only if the hardware requires it.  ext3 (if necessary) snapshots
      pages instead of blocking, and btrfs provides its own bdi so the mm will
      never wait.  Network filesystems haven't been touched, so either they
      provide their own wait code, or they don't block at all.  The blocking
      behavior is back to what it was before 3.0 if you don't have a disk
      requiring stable page writes.
      
      This patchset has been tested on 3.8.0-rc3 on x64 with ext3, ext4, and
      xfs.  I've spot-checked 3.8.0-rc4 and seem to be getting the same
      results as -rc3.
      
      [1] The alternative fixes to ext3 include fixing the locking order and
      page bit handling like we did for ext4 (but then why not just use
      ext4?), or setting PG_writeback so early that ext3 becomes extremely
      slow.  I tried that, but the number of write()s I could initiate dropped
      by nearly an order of magnitude.  That was a bit much even for the
      author of the stable page series! :)
      
      This patch:
      
      Creates a per-backing-device flag that tracks whether or not pages must
      be held immutable during writeout.  Eventually it will be used to waive
      wait_for_page_writeback() if nothing requires stable pages.

      lockdep: make lockdep_assert_held() not have a return value · b1ae345d

      I recently made the mistake of writing:
      
        foo = lockdep_dereference_protected(..., lockdep_assert_held(...));
      
      which is clearly bogus.  If lockdep is disabled in the config this would
      cause a compile failure, if it is enabled then it compiles and causes a
      puzzling warning about dereferencing without the correct protection.
      
      Wrap the macro in "do { ...  } while (0)" to also fail compile for this
      when lockdep is enabled.

      bug.h, compiler.h: introduce compiletime_assert & BUILD_BUG_ON_MSG · 9a8ab1c3
      Daniel Santos 提交于
      Introduce compiletime_assert to compiler.h, which moves the details of
      how to break a build and emit an error message for a specific compiler
      to the headers where these details should be.  Following in the
      tradition of the POSIX assert macro, compiletime_assert creates a
      build-time error when the supplied condition is *false*.
      
      Next, we add BUILD_BUG_ON_MSG to bug.h which simply wraps
      compiletime_assert, inverting the logic, so that it fails when the
      condition is *true*, consistent with the language "build bug on." This
      macro allows you to specify the error message you want emitted when the
      supplied condition is true.
      
      Finally, we remove all other code from bug.h that mucks with these
      details (BUILD_BUG & BUILD_BUG_ON), and have them all call
      BUILD_BUG_ON_MSG.  This not only reduces source code bloat, but also
      prevents the possibility of code being changed for one macro and not for
      the other (which was previously the case for BUILD_BUG and
      BUILD_BUG_ON).
      
      Since __compiletime_error_fallback is now only used in compiler.h, I'm
      considering it a private macro and removing the double negation that's

      compiler.h, bug.h: prevent double error messages with BUILD_BUG{,_ON} · c361d3e5
      Daniel Santos 提交于
      Prior to the introduction of __attribute__((error("msg"))) in gcc 4.3,
      creating compile-time errors required a little trickery.
      BUILD_BUG{,_ON} uses this attribute when available to generate
      compile-time errors, but also uses the negative-sized array trick for
      older compilers, resulting in two error messages in some cases.  The
      reason it's "some" cases is that as of gcc 4.4, the negative-sized array
      will not create an error in some situations, like inline functions.
      
      This patch replaces the negative-sized array code with the new
      __compiletime_error_fallback() macro which expands to the same thing
      unless the the error attribute is available, in which case it expands to
      do{}while(0), resulting in exactly one compile-time error on all
      versions of gcc.
      
      Note that we are not changing the negative-sized array code for the
      unoptimized version of BUILD_BUG_ON, since it has the potential to catch
      problems that would be disabled in later versions of gcc were
      __compiletime_error_fallback used.  The reason is that that an
      unoptimized build can't always remove calls to an error-attributed
      function call (like we are using) that should effectively become dead
      code if it were optimized.  However, using a negative-sized array with a
      similar value will not result in an false-positive (error).  The only
      caveat being that it will also fail to catch valid conditions, which we
      should be expecting in an unoptimized build anyway.

      bug.h: make BUILD_BUG_ON generate compile-time error · a3ccc497
      Daniel Santos 提交于
      Negative sized arrays wont create a compile-time error in some cases
      starting with gcc 4.4 (e.g., inlined functions), but gcc 4.3 introduced
      the error function attribute that will.
      
      This patch modifies BUILD_BUG_ON to behave like BUILD_BUG already does,
      using the error function attribute so that you don't have to build the
      entire kernel to discover that you have a problem, and then enjoy trying
      to track it down from a link-time error.
      
      Also, we are only including asm/bug.h and then expecting that
      linux/compiler.h will eventually be included to define __linktime_error
      (used in BUILD_BUG_ON).  This patch includes it directly for clarity and
      to avoid the possibility of changes in <arch>/*/include/asm/bug.h being
      changed or not including linux/compiler.h for some reason.

      bug.h: prevent double evaulation of `condition' in BUILD_BUG_ON · 1d6a0d19
      Daniel Santos 提交于
      When calling BUILD_BUG_ON in an optimized build using gcc 4.3 and later,
      the condition will be evaulated twice, possibily with side-effects.  This
      patch eliminates that error.

      bug.h: fix BUILD_BUG_ON macro in __CHECKER__ · ca623c91
      Daniel Santos 提交于
      When __CHECKER__ is defined, we disable all of the BUILD_BUG.* macros.
      However, both BUILD_BUG_ON_NOT_POWER_OF_2 and BUILD_BUG_ON was evaluating
      to nothing in this case, and we want (0) since this is a function-like
      macro that will be followed by a semicolon.

      compiler{,-gcc4}.h, bug.h: Remove duplicate macros · 6ae8d048
      Daniel Santos 提交于
      __linktime_error() does the same thing as __compiletime_error() and is
      only used in bug.h.  Since the macro defines a function attribute that
      will cause a failure at compile-time (not link-time), it makes more sense
      to keep __compiletime_error(), which is also neatly mated with
      __compiletime_warning().

      compiler-gcc{3,4}.h: Use GCC_VERSION macro · 733ed6e4
      Daniel Santos 提交于
      Using GCC_VERSION reduces complexity, is easier to read and is GCC's
      recommended mechanism for doing version checks.  (Just don't ask me why
      they didn't define it in the first place.) This also makes it easy to
      merge compiler-gcc{,3,4}.h should somebody want to.

      compiler-gcc.h: Add gcc-recommended GCC_VERSION macro · 3f3f8d2f
      Daniel Santos 提交于
      Throughout compiler*.h, many version checks are made.  These can be
      simplified by using the macro that gcc's documentation recommends.
      However, my primary reason for adding this is that I need bug-check
      macros that are enabled at certain gcc versions and it's cleaner to use
      this macro than the tradition method:
      
        #if __GNUC__ > 4 || (__GNUC__ == 4 && __GNUC_MINOR__ => 2)
      
      If you add patch level, it gets this ugly:
      
        #if __GNUC__ > 4 || (__GNUC__ == 4 && (__GNUC_MINOR__ > 2 || \
            __GNUC_MINOR__ == 2 __GNUC_PATCHLEVEL__ >= 1))
      
      As opposed to:
      
        #if GCC_VERSION >= 40201
      
      While having separate headers for gcc 3 & 4 eliminates some of this
      verbosity, they can still be cleaned up by this.

      s390/mm: implement software dirty bits · abf09bed
      Martin Schwidefsky 提交于
      The s390 architecture is unique in respect to dirty page detection,
      it uses the change bit in the per-page storage key to track page
      modifications. All other architectures track dirty bits by means
      of page table entries. This property of s390 has caused numerous
      problems in the past, e.g. see git commit ef5d437f
      "mm: fix XFS oops due to dirty pages without buffers on s390".
      
      To avoid future issues in regard to per-page dirty bits convert
      s390 to a fault based software dirty bit detection mechanism. All
      user page table entries which are marked as clean will be hardware
      read-only, even if the pte is supposed to be writable. A write by
      the user process will trigger a protection fault which will cause
      the user pte to be marked as dirty and the hardware read-only bit
      is removed.
      
      With this change the dirty bit in the storage key is irrelevant
      for Linux as a host, but the storage key is still required for
      KVM guests. The effect is that page_test_and_clear_dirty and the
      related code can be removed. The referenced bit in the storage
      key is still used by the page_test_and_clear_young primitive to
      provide page age information.
      
      For page cache pages of mappings with mapping_cap_account_dirty
      there will not be any change in behavior as the dirty bit tracking
      already uses read-only ptes to control the amount of dirty pages.
      Only for swap cache pages and pages of mappings without
      mapping_cap_account_dirty there can be additional protection faults.
      To avoid an excessive number of additional faults the mk_pte
      primitive checks for PageDirty if the pgprot value allows for writes
      and pre-dirties the pte. That avoids all additional faults for
      tmpfs and shmem pages until these pages are added to the swap cache.

      smpboot: Allow selfparking per cpu threads · 7d7e499f
      Thomas Gleixner 提交于
      The stop machine threads are still killed when a cpu goes offline. The
      reason is that the thread is used to bring the cpu down, so it can't
      be parked along with the other per cpu threads.
      
      Allow a per cpu thread to be excluded from automatic parking, so it
      can park itself once it's done
      
      Add a create callback function as well.
