In many cases, especially in networking, it can be beneficial to know at compile time whether the architecture can do unaligned accesses efficiently. This patch introduces a new Kconfig symbol HAVE_EFFICIENT_UNALIGNED_ACCESS for that purpose and adds it to the powerpc and x86 architectures. Also add some documentation about alignment and networking, and especially one intended use of this symbol.

Remove the conditional surrounding the definition of list_add() from list.h since, if you define CONFIG_DEBUG_LIST, the definition you will subsequently pick up from lib/list_debug.c will be absolutely identical, at which point you can remove that redundant definition from list_debug.c as well.

Extend memparse() to allow the caller to use a NULL second parameter, which would represent no interest in returning the address of the end of the parsed string. In numerous cases, callers invoke memparse() to parse a possibly-suffixed string (such as "64K" or "2G" or whatever) and define a character pointer to accept the end pointer being returned by memparse() even though they have no interest in it and promptly throw it away. This (backward-compatible) enhancement allows callers to use NULL in the cases where they just don't care about getting back that end pointer.

Currently, checkstack.pl only looks for fixed subtractions from the stack pointer. However, things like this: void function(int size) { char stackbuster[size << 2]; ... are certainly worth pointing out, I think. This could perhaps be done more cleanly, and the following patch only adds "dynamic" REs for x86 and x86_64, but it works: 0x00b0 crypto_cbc_decrypt_inplace [cbc]: Dynamic (%rax) 0x00ad crypto_pcbc_decrypt_inplace [pcbc]: Dynamic (%rax) 0x02f6 crypto_pcbc_encrypt_inplace [pcbc]: Dynamic (%rax) 0x036c _crypto_xcbc_digest_setkey [xcbc]: Dynamic (%rax) ...

Changeset 7fa897b9 ("ide: trivial sparse annotations") created an IDE bootup regression on big-endian systems. In drivers/ide/ide-iops.c, function ide_fixstring() we now have the loop: for (p = end ; p != s;) be16_to_cpus((u16 *)(p -= 2)); which will never terminate on big-endian because in such a configuration be16_to_cpus() evaluates to "do { } while (0)" Therefore, always evaluate the arguments to nop endian transformation operations.

This patch tries to change hvc_console to not use request_irq/free_irq if the backend does not use irqs. This allows virtio_console to use hvc_console without having a linker reference to request_irq/free_irq. In addition, together with patch 2/3 it improves the performance for virtio console input. (an earlier version of this patch was tested by Yajin on lguest) The irq specific code is moved to hvc_irq.c and selected by the drivers that use irqs (System p, System i, XEN). I replaced "int irq" with the opaque "int data". The request_irq and free_irq calls are replaced with notifier_add and notifier_del. I have also changed the code a bit to call the notifier_add and notifier_del inside the spinlock area as the callbacks are found via hp->ops. Changes since last version: o remove ifdef o reintroduce "irq_requested" as "notified" o cleanups, sparse.. I did not move the timer based polling into a separate polling scheme. I played with several variants, but it seems we need to sleep/schedule in a thread even for irq based consoles, as there are throttleing and buffer size constraints. I also kept hvc_struct defined in hvc_console.h so that hvc_irq.c can access the irq_requested element. Feedback is appreciated. virtio_console is currently the only available console for kvm on s390. I plan to push this change as soon as all affected parties agree on it. I would love to get test results from System p, Xen etc. Signed-off-by: NChristian Borntraeger <borntraeger@de.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: NRusty Russell <rusty@rustcorp.com.au>

Currently virtio_blk assumes a 512 byte hard sector size. This can cause trouble / performance issues if the backing has a different block size (like a file on an ext3 file system formatted with 4k block size or a dasd). Lets add a feature flag that tells the guest to use a different hard sector size than 512 byte.

We force notification when the ring is full, even if the host has indicated it doesn't want to know. This seemed like a good idea at the time: if we fill the transmit ring, we should tell the host immediately. Unfortunately this logic also applies to the receiving ring, which is refilled constantly. We should introduce real notification thesholds to replace this logic. Meanwhile, removing the logic altogether breaks the heuristics which KVM uses, so we use a hack: only notify if there are outgoing parts of the new buffer. Here are the number of exits with lguest's crappy network implementation: Before: network xmit 7859051 recv 236420 After: network xmit 7858610 recv 118136 Signed-off-by: NRusty Russell <rusty@rustcorp.com.au>

If we hack the virtio_net driver to always allocate full-sized (64k+) skbuffs, the driver slows down (lguest numbers): Time to receive 1GB (small buffers): 10.85 seconds Time to receive 1GB (64k+ buffers): 24.75 seconds Of course, large buffers use up more space in the ring, so we increase that from 128 to 2048: Time to receive 1GB (64k+ buffers, 2k ring): 16.61 seconds If we recycle pages rather than using alloc_page/free_page: Time to receive 1GB (64k+ buffers, 2k ring, recycle pages): 10.81 seconds This demonstrates that with efficient allocation, we don't need to have a separate "small buffer" queue.

Finally this patch lets virtio_net receive GSO packets in addition to sending them. This can definitely be optimised for the non-GSO case. For comparison the Xen approach stores one page in each skb and uses subsequent skb's pages to construct an SG skb instead of preallocating the maximum amount of pages per skb.

Poor wee skb :) How about the incremental patch below? Cheers, Mark. Subject: [PATCH] virtio_net: Delay dropping tx skbs Currently we drop the skb in start_xmit() if we have a queued buffer and fail to transmit it. However, if we delay dropping it until we've stopped the queue and enabled the tx notification callback, then there is a chance space might become available for it.

Suresh Siddha wants to fix a possible FPU leakage in error conditions, but the fact that save/restore_i387() are inlines in a header file makes that harder to do than necessary. So start off with an obvious cleanup. This just moves the x86-64 version of save/restore_i387() out of the header file, and moves it to the only file that it is actually used in: arch/x86/kernel/signal_64.c. So exposing it in a header file was wrong to begin with. [ Side note: I'd like to fix up some of the games we play with the 32-bit version of these functions too, but that's a separate matter. The 32-bit versions are shared - under different names at that! - by both the native x86-32 code and the x86-64 32-bit compatibility code ] Acked-by: NSuresh Siddha <suresh.b.siddha@intel.com> Signed-off-by: NLinus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
