      x86: atomic64: Move the 32-bit atomic64_t implementation to a .c file · b7882b7c
      Ingo Molnar 提交于
      Linus noted that the atomic64_t primitives are all inlines
      currently which is crazy because these functions have a large
      register footprint anyway.
      
      Move them to a separate file: arch/x86/lib/atomic64_32.c
      
      Also, while at it, rename all uses of 'unsigned long long' to
      the much shorter u64.
      
      This makes the appearance of the prototypes a lot nicer - and
      it also uncovered a few bugs where (yet unused) API variants
      had 'long' as their return type instead of u64.
      
      [ More intrusive changes are not yet done in this patch. ]

      x86: atomic64: The atomic64_t data type should be 8 bytes aligned on 32-bit too · bbf2a330
      Eric Dumazet 提交于
      Locked instructions on two cache lines at once are painful. If
      atomic64_t uses two cache lines, my test program is 10x slower.
      
      The chance for that is significant: 4/32 or 12.5%.
      
      Make sure an atomic64_t is 8 bytes aligned.

      perf_counter: Ignore the nmi call frames in the x86-64 backtraces · 0406ca6d
      Frederic Weisbecker 提交于
      About every callchains recorded with perf record are filled up
      including the internal perfcounter nmi frame:
      
       perf_callchain
       perf_counter_overflow
       intel_pmu_handle_irq
       perf_counter_nmi_handler
       notifier_call_chain
       atomic_notifier_call_chain
       notify_die
       do_nmi
       nmi
      
      We want ignore this frame as it's not interesting for
      instrumentation. To solve this, we simply ignore every frames
      from nmi context.
