      rcu: reduce the number of spurious RCU_SOFTIRQ invocations · d21670ac
      Paul E. McKenney 提交于
      Lai Jiangshan noted that up to 10% of the RCU_SOFTIRQ are spurious, and
      traced this down to the fact that the current grace-period machinery
      will uselessly raise RCU_SOFTIRQ when a given CPU needs to go through
      a quiescent state, but has not yet done so.  In this situation, there
      might well be nothing that RCU_SOFTIRQ can do, and the overhead can be
      worth worrying about in the ksoftirqd case.  This patch therefore avoids
      raising RCU_SOFTIRQ in this situation.
      
      Changes since v1 (http://lkml.org/lkml/2010/3/30/122 from Lai Jiangshan):
      
      o	Omit the rcu_qs_pending() prechecks, as they aren't that
      	much less expensive than the quiescent-state checks.
      
      o	Merge with the set_need_resched() patch that reduces IPIs.
      
      o	Add the new n_rp_report_qs field to the rcu_pending tracing output.
      
      o	Update the tracing documentation accordingly.

      libata: Fix several inaccuracies in developer's guide · 40868c85
      Sergei Shtylyov 提交于
      Commit 6bfff31e (libata: kill probe_ent
      and related helpers) killed ata_device_add() but didn't remove references
      to it from the libata developer's guide.
      
      Commits 9363c382 (libata: rename SFF
      functions) and 5682ed33 (libata: rename
      SFF port ops) renamed the taskfile access methods but didn't update the
      developer's guide.  Commit c9f75b04
      (libata: kill ata_noop_dev_select()) didn't update the developer's
      guide as well.
      
      The guide also refers to the long gone ata_pio_data_xfer_noirq(),
      ata_pio_data_xfer(), and ata_mmio_data_xfer() -- replace those by
      the modern ata_sff_data_xfer_noirq(), ata_sff_data_xfer(), and
      ata_sff_data_xfer32().
      
      Also, remove the reference to non-existant ata_port_stop()...

      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.
