      x86: Fix write lock scalability 64-bit issue · a750036f
      Jan Beulich 提交于
      With the write lock path simply subtracting RW_LOCK_BIAS there
      is, on large systems, the theoretical possibility of overflowing
      the 32-bit value that was used so far (namely if 128 or more
      CPUs manage to do the subtraction, but don't get to do the
      inverse addition in the failure path quickly enough).
      
      A first measure is to modify RW_LOCK_BIAS itself - with the new
      value chosen, it is good for up to 2048 CPUs each allowed to
      nest over 2048 times on the read path without causing an issue.
      Quite possibly it would even be sufficient to adjust the bias a
      little further, assuming that allowing for significantly less
      nesting would suffice.
      
      However, as the original value chosen allowed for even more
      nesting levels, to support more than 2048 CPUs (possible
      currently only for 64-bit kernels) the lock itself gets widened
      to 64 bits.

      x86: consolidate header guards · 77ef50a5
      Vegard Nossum 提交于
      This patch is the result of an automatic script that consolidates the
      format of all the headers in include/asm-x86/.
      
      The format:
      
      1. No leading underscore. Names with leading underscores are reserved.
      2. Pathname components are separated by two underscores. So we can
         distinguish between mm_types.h and mm/types.h.
      3. Everything except letters and numbers are turned into single
         underscores.
