This reverts commit e5a2c899. Commit e5a2c899 introduced an alternative_call, arch_fast_hash2, that selects between __jhash2 and __intel_crc4_2_hash based on the X86_FEATURE_XMM4_2. Unfortunately, the alternative_call system does not appear to be suitable for use with C functions, as register usage is not handled properly for the called functions. The __jhash2 function in particular clobbers registers that are not preserved when called via alternative_call, resulting in a panic for direct callers of arch_fast_hash2 on older CPUs lacking sse4_2. It is possible that __intel_crc4_2_hash works merely by chance because it uses fewer registers. This commit was suggested as the source of the problem by Jesse Gross <jesse@nicira.com>.

By default the arch_fast_hash hashing function pointers are initialized to jhash(2). If during boot-up a CPU with SSE4.2 is detected they get updated to the CRC32 ones. This dispatching scheme incurs a function pointer lookup and indirect call for every hashing operation. rhashtable as a user of arch_fast_hash e.g. stores pointers to hashing functions in its structure, too, causing two indirect branches per hashing operation. Using alternative_call we can get away with one of those indirect branches.

The hash_64() function historically does the multiply by the GOLDEN_RATIO_PRIME_64 number with explicit shifts and adds, because unlike the 32-bit case, gcc seems unable to turn the constant multiply into the more appropriate shift and adds when required. However, that means that we generate those shifts and adds even when the architecture has a fast multiplier, and could just do it better in hardware. Use the now-cleaned-up CONFIG_ARCH_HAS_FAST_MULTIPLIER (together with "is it a 64-bit architecture") to decide whether to use an integer multiply or the explicit sequence of shift/add instructions.

由 Francesco Fusco 提交于
We introduce a new hashing library that is meant to be used in the contexts where speed is more important than uniformity of the hashed values. The hash library leverages architecture specific implementation to achieve high performance and fall backs to jhash() for the generic case. On Intel-based x86 architectures, the library can exploit the crc32l instruction, part of the Intel SSE4.2 instruction set, if the instruction is supported by the processor. This implementation is twice as fast as the jhash() implementation on an i7 processor. Additional architectures, such as Arm64 provide instructions for accelerating the computation of CRC, so they could be added as well in follow-up work.

Because hash_64() is called from the get_kprobe() inside int3 handler, kernel causes int3 recursion and crashes if kprobes user puts a probe on it. Usually hash_64() is inlined into caller function, but in some cases, it has instances by gcc's interprocedural constant propagation. This patch uses __always_inline instead of inline to prevent gcc from doing such things.

Eric noticed, that when there will be devices with equal indices, some hash functions that use them will become less effective as they could. Fix this in advance by mixing the net_device address into the hash value instead of the device index. This is true for arp and ndisc hash fns. The netlabel, can and llc ones are also ifindex-based, but that three are init_net-only, thus will not be affected. Many thanks to David and Eric for the hash32_ptr implementation!

The 32-bit version is more efficient (and apparently gives better hash results than the 64-bit version), so users who are only hashing a 32-bit quantity can now opt to use the 32-bit version explicitly, rather than promoting to a long.

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history, even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about 3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good infrastructure for it. Let it rip!
