      sparc: Detect and handle UltraSPARC-T3 cpu types. · 4ba991d3
      David S. Miller 提交于
      The cpu compatible string we look for is "SPARC-T3".
      
      As far as memset/memcpy optimizations go, we treat this chip the same
      as Niagara-T2/T2+.  Use cache initializing stores for memset, and use
      perfetch, FPU block loads, cache initializing stores, and block stores
      for copies.
      
      We use the Niagara-T2 perf support, since T3 is a close relative in
      this regard.  Later we'll add support for the new events T3 can
      report, plus enable T3's new "sample" mode.
      
      For now I haven't added any new ELF hwcap flags.  We probably need
      to add a couple, for example:
      
      T2 and T3 both support the population count instruction in hardware.
      
      T3 supports VIS3 instructions, including support (finally) for
      partitioned shift.  One can also now move directly between float
      and integer registers.
      
      T3 supports instructions meant to help with Galois Field and other HPC
      calculations, such as XOR multiply.  Also there are "OP and negate"
      instructions, for example "fnmul" which is multiply-and-negate.
      
      T3 recognizes the transactional memory opcodes, however since
      transactional memory isn't supported: 1) 'commit' behaves as a NOP and
      2) 'chkpt' always branches 3) 'rdcps' returns all zeros and 4) 'wrcps'
      behaves as a NOP.
      
      So we'll need about 3 new elf capability flags in the end to represent
      all of these things.

      include cleanup: Update gfp.h and slab.h includes to prepare for breaking... · 5a0e3ad6
      Tejun Heo 提交于
      include cleanup: Update gfp.h and slab.h includes to prepare for breaking implicit slab.h inclusion from percpu.h
      
      percpu.h is included by sched.h and module.h and thus ends up being
      included when building most .c files.  percpu.h includes slab.h which
      in turn includes gfp.h making everything defined by the two files
      universally available and complicating inclusion dependencies.
      
      percpu.h -> slab.h dependency is about to be removed.  Prepare for
      this change by updating users of gfp and slab facilities include those
      headers directly instead of assuming availability.  As this conversion
      needs to touch large number of source files, the following script is
      used as the basis of conversion.
      
        http://userweb.kernel.org/~tj/misc/slabh-sweep.py
      
      The script does the followings.
      
      * Scan files for gfp and slab usages and update includes such that
        only the necessary includes are there.  ie. if only gfp is used,
        gfp.h, if slab is used, slab.h.
      
      * When the script inserts a new include, it looks at the include
        blocks and try to put the new include such that its order conforms
        to its surrounding.  It's put in the include block which contains
        core kernel includes, in the same order that the rest are ordered -
        alphabetical, Christmas tree, rev-Xmas-tree or at the end if there
        doesn't seem to be any matching order.
      
      * If the script can't find a place to put a new include (mostly
        because the file doesn't have fitting include block), it prints out
        an error message indicating which .h file needs to be added to the
        file.
      
      The conversion was done in the following steps.
      
      1. The initial automatic conversion of all .c files updated slightly
         over 4000 files, deleting around 700 includes and adding ~480 gfp.h
         and ~3000 slab.h inclusions.  The script emitted errors for ~400
         files.
      
      2. Each error was manually checked.  Some didn't need the inclusion,
         some needed manual addition while adding it to implementation .h or
         embedding .c file was more appropriate for others.  This step added
         inclusions to around 150 files.
      
      3. The script was run again and the output was compared to the edits
         from #2 to make sure no file was left behind.
      
      4. Several build tests were done and a couple of problems were fixed.
         e.g. lib/decompress_*.c used malloc/free() wrappers around slab
         APIs requiring slab.h to be added manually.
      
      5. The script was run on all .h files but without automatically
         editing them as sprinkling gfp.h and slab.h inclusions around .h
         files could easily lead to inclusion dependency hell.  Most gfp.h
         inclusion directives were ignored as stuff from gfp.h was usually
         wildly available and often used in preprocessor macros.  Each
         slab.h inclusion directive was examined and added manually as
         necessary.
      
      6. percpu.h was updated not to include slab.h.
      
      7. Build test were done on the following configurations and failures
         were fixed.  CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL was turned off for all tests (as my
         distributed build env didn't work with gcov compiles) and a few
         more options had to be turned off depending on archs to make things
         build (like ipr on powerpc/64 which failed due to missing writeq).
      
         * x86 and x86_64 UP and SMP allmodconfig and a custom test config.
         * powerpc and powerpc64 SMP allmodconfig
         * sparc and sparc64 SMP allmodconfig
         * ia64 SMP allmodconfig
         * s390 SMP allmodconfig
         * alpha SMP allmodconfig
         * um on x86_64 SMP allmodconfig
      
      8. percpu.h modifications were reverted so that it could be applied as
         a separate patch and serve as bisection point.
      
      Given the fact that I had only a couple of failures from tests on step
      6, I'm fairly confident about the coverage of this conversion patch.
      If there is a breakage, it's likely to be something in one of the arch
      headers which should be easily discoverable easily on most builds of
      the specific arch.

      sparc64: fix and optimize irq distribution · 280ff974
      Hong H. Pham 提交于
      irq_choose_cpu() should compare the affinity mask against cpu_online_map
      rather than CPU_MASK_ALL, since irq_select_affinity() sets the interrupt's
      affinity mask to cpu_online_map "and" CPU_MASK_ALL (which ends up being
      just cpu_online_map).  The mask comparison in irq_choose_cpu() will always
      fail since the two masks are not the same.  So the CPU chosen is the first CPU
      in the intersection of cpu_online_map and CPU_MASK_ALL, which is always CPU0.
      That means all interrupts are reassigned to CPU0...
      
      Distributing interrupts to CPUs in a linearly increasing round robin fashion
      is not optimal for the UltraSPARC T1/T2.  Also, the irq_rover in
      irq_choose_cpu() causes an interrupt to be assigned to a different
      processor each time the interrupt is allocated and released.  This may lead
      to an unbalanced distribution over time.
      
      A static mapping of interrupts to processors is done to optimize and balance
      interrupt distribution.  For the T1/T2, interrupts are spread to different
      cores first, and then to strands within a core.
      
      The following is some benchmarks showing the effects of interrupt
      distribution on a T2.  The test was done with iperf using a pair of T5220
      boxes, each with a 10GBe NIU (XAUI) connected back to back.
