      x86: generic versions of find_first_(zero_)bit, convert i386 · 77b9bd9c
      Alexander van Heukelum 提交于
      Generic versions of __find_first_bit and __find_first_zero_bit
      are introduced as simplified versions of __find_next_bit and
      __find_next_zero_bit. Their compilation and use are guarded by
      a new config variable GENERIC_FIND_FIRST_BIT.
      
      The generic versions of find_first_bit and find_first_zero_bit
      are implemented in terms of the newly introduced __find_first_bit
      and __find_first_zero_bit.
      
      This patch does not remove the i386-specific implementation,
      but it does switch i386 to use the generic functions by setting
      GENERIC_FIND_FIRST_BIT=y for X86_32.

      x86, generic: optimize find_next_(zero_)bit for small constant-size bitmaps · 64970b68
      Alexander van Heukelum 提交于
      This moves an optimization for searching constant-sized small
      bitmaps form x86_64-specific to generic code.
      
      On an i386 defconfig (the x86#testing one), the size of vmlinux hardly
      changes with this applied. I have observed only four places where this
      optimization avoids a call into find_next_bit:
      
      In the functions return_unused_surplus_pages, alloc_fresh_huge_page,
      and adjust_pool_surplus, this patch avoids a call for a 1-bit bitmap.
      In __next_cpu a call is avoided for a 32-bit bitmap. That's it.
      
      On x86_64, 52 locations are optimized with a minimal increase in
      code size:
      
      Current #testing defconfig:
      	146 x bsf, 27 x find_next_*bit
         text    data     bss     dec     hex filename
         5392637  846592  724424 6963653  6a41c5 vmlinux
      
      After removing the x86_64 specific optimization for find_next_*bit:
      	94 x bsf, 79 x find_next_*bit
         text    data     bss     dec     hex filename
         5392358  846592  724424 6963374  6a40ae vmlinux
      
      After this patch (making the optimization generic):
      	146 x bsf, 27 x find_next_*bit
         text    data     bss     dec     hex filename
         5392396  846592  724424 6963412  6a40d4 vmlinux

      x86: change x86 to use generic find_next_bit · 6fd92b63
      Alexander van Heukelum 提交于
      The versions with inline assembly are in fact slower on the machines I
      tested them on (in userspace) (Athlon XP 2800+, p4-like Xeon 2.8GHz, AMD
      Opteron 270). The i386-version needed a fix similar to 06024f21 to avoid
      crashing the benchmark.
      
      Benchmark using: gcc -fomit-frame-pointer -Os. For each bitmap size
      1...512, for each possible bitmap with one bit set, for each possible
      offset: find the position of the first bit starting at offset. If you
      follow ;). Times include setup of the bitmap and checking of the
      results.
      
      		Athlon		Xeon		Opteron 32/64bit
      x86-specific:	0m3.692s	0m2.820s	0m3.196s / 0m2.480s
      generic:	0m2.622s	0m1.662s	0m2.100s / 0m1.572s
      
      If the bitmap size is not a multiple of BITS_PER_LONG, and no set
      (cleared) bit is found, find_next_bit (find_next_zero_bit) returns a
      value outside of the range [0, size]. The generic version always returns
      exactly size. The generic version also uses unsigned long everywhere,
      while the x86 versions use a mishmash of int, unsigned (int), long and
      unsigned long.
      
      Using the generic version does give a slightly bigger kernel, though.

      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!
