      linux/bitmap.h: improve BITMAP_{LAST,FIRST}_WORD_MASK · 89c1e79e
      Rasmus Villemoes 提交于
      The macro BITMAP_LAST_WORD_MASK can be implemented without a conditional,
      which will generally lead to slightly better generated code (221 bytes
      saved for allmodconfig-GCOV_KERNEL, ~2k with GCOV_KERNEL).  As a small
      bonus, this also ensures that the nbits parameter is expanded exactly
      once.
      
      In BITMAP_FIRST_WORD_MASK, if start is signed gcc is technically allowed
      to assume it is positive (or divisible by BITS_PER_LONG), and hence just
      do the simple mask.  It doesn't seem to use this, and even on an
      architecture like x86 where the shift only depends on the lower 5 or 6
      bits, and these bits are not affected by the signedness of the expression,
      gcc still generates code to compute the C99 mandated value of start %
      BITS_PER_LONG.  So just use a mask explicitly, also for consistency with
      BITMAP_LAST_WORD_MASK.

      lib, Make gen_pool memory allocator lockless · 7f184275
      Huang Ying 提交于
      This version of the gen_pool memory allocator supports lockless
      operation.
      
      This makes it safe to use in NMI handlers and other special
      unblockable contexts that could otherwise deadlock on locks.  This is
      implemented by using atomic operations and retries on any conflicts.
      The disadvantage is that there may be livelocks in extreme cases.  For
      better scalability, one gen_pool allocator can be used for each CPU.
      
      The lockless operation only works if there is enough memory available.
      If new memory is added to the pool a lock has to be still taken.  So
      any user relying on locklessness has to ensure that sufficient memory
      is preallocated.
      
      The basic atomic operation of this allocator is cmpxchg on long.  On
      architectures that don't have NMI-safe cmpxchg implementation, the
      allocator can NOT be used in NMI handler.  So code uses the allocator
      in NMI handler should depend on CONFIG_ARCH_HAVE_NMI_SAFE_CMPXCHG.
