Add two changes that improve the performance of x86 systems 1. replace main loop with incrementing counter this change improves the performance of the selftest by about 5-6% on Nehalem CPUs. The apparent reason is that the compiler can use the loop index to perform an indexed memory access. This is reported to make the performance of PowerPC CPUs to get worse. 2. replace the rem_len loop with incrementing counter this change improves the performance of the selftest, which has more than the usual number of occurances, by about 1-2% on x86 CPUs. In actual work loads the length is most often a multiple of 4 bytes and this code does not get executed as often if at all. Again this change is reported to make the performance of PowerPC get worse.

Add slicing-by-8 algorithm to the existing slicing-by-4 algorithm. This consists of: - extend largest BITS size from 32 to 64 - extend tables from tab[4][256] to up to tab[8][256] - Add code for inner loop. [djwong@us.ibm.com: Minor changelog tweaks] Signed-off-by:

crc32.c provides a choice of one of several algorithms for computing the LSB and LSB versions of the CRC32 checksum based on the parameters CRC_LE_BITS and CRC_BE_BITS. In the original version the values 1, 2, 4 and 8 respectively selected versions of the alrogithm that computed the crc 1, 2, 4 and 32 bits as a time. This patch series adds a new version that computes the CRC 64 bits at a time. To make things easier to understand the parameter has been reinterpreted to actually stand for the number of bits processed in each step of the algorithm so that the old value 8 has been replaced with the value 32. This also allows us to add in a widely used crc algorithm that computes the crc 8 bits at a time called the Sarwate algorithm. [djwong@us.ibm.com: Minor changelog tweaks] Signed-off-by:

crc32.c in its original version freely mixed u32, __le32 and __be32 types which caused warnings from sparse with __CHECK_ENDIAN__. This patch fixes these by forcing the types to u32. [djwong@us.ibm.com: Minor changelog tweaks] Signed-off-by:

Misc cleanup of lib/crc32.c and related files. - remove unnecessary header files. - straighten out some convoluted ifdef's - rewrite some references to 2 dimensional arrays as 1 dimensional arrays to make them correct. I.e. replace tab[i] with tab[0][i]. - a few trivial whitespace changes - fix a warning in gen_crc32tables.c caused by a mismatch in the type of the pointer passed to output table. Since the table is only used at kernel compile time, it is simpler to make the table big enough to hold the largest column size used. One cannot make the column size smaller in output_table because it has to be used by both the le and be tables and they can have different column sizes.

Replace the unit test provided in crc32.c, which doesn't have a makefile and doesn't compile with current headers, with a simpler self test routine that also gives a measure of performance and runs at module init time. The self test option can be enabled through a configuration option CONFIG_CRC32_SELFTEST. The test stresses the pre and post loops and is thus not very realistic since actual uses will likely have addresses and lengths that are at least 4 byte aligned. However, the main loop is long enough so that the performance is dominated by that loop. The expected values for crc32_le and crc32_be were generated with the original version of crc32.c using CRC_BITS_LE = 8 and CRC_BITS_BE = 8. These values were then used to check all the values of the BITS parameters in both the original and new versions. The performance results show some variability from run to run in spite of attempts to both warm the cache and reduce the amount of OS noise by limiting interrutps during the test. To get comparable results and to analyse options wrt performance the best time reported over a small sample of runs has been taken. [djwong@us.ibm.com: Minor changelog tweaks] Signed-off-by:

This patchset (re)uses Bob Pearson's crc32 slice-by-8 code to stamp out a software crc32c implementation. It removes the crc32c implementation in crypto/ in favor of using the stamped-out one in lib/. There is also a change to Kconfig so that the kernel builder can pick an implementation best suited for the hardware. The motivation for this patchset is that I am working on adding full metadata checksumming to ext4. As far as performance impact of adding checksumming goes, I see nearly no change with a standard mail server ffsb simulation. On a test that involves only file creation and deletion and extent tree writes, I see a drop of about 50 pcercent with the current kernel crc32c implementation; this improves to a drop of about 20 percent with the enclosed crc32c code. When metadata is usually a small fraction of total IO, this new implementation doesn't help much because metadata is usually a small fraction of total IO. However, when we are doing IO that is almost all metadata (such as rm -rf'ing a tree), then this patch speeds up the operation substantially. Incidentally, given that iscsi, sctp, and btrfs also use crc32c, this patchset should improve their speed as well. I have not yet quantified that, however. This latest submission combines Bob's patches from late August 2011 with mine so that they can be one coherent patch set. Please excuse my inability to combine some of the patches; I've been advised to leave Bob's patches alone and build atop them instead. :/ Since the last posting, I've also collected some crc32c test results on a bunch of different x86/powerpc/sparc platforms. The results can be viewed here: http://goo.gl/sgt3i ; the "crc32-kern-le" and "crc32c" columns describe the performance of the kernel's current crc32 and crc32c software implementations. The "crc32c-by8-le" column shows crc32c performance with this patchset applied. I expect crc32 performance to be roughly the same. The two _boost columns at the right side of the spreadsheet shows how much faster the new implementation is over the old one. As you can see, crc32 rises substantially, and crc32c experiences a huge increase. This patch: - remove trailing whitespace from lib/crc32.c - remove trailing whitespace from lib/crc32defs.h [djwong@us.ibm.com: changelog tweaks] Signed-off-by:

checkpatch already makes an exception to the 80-column rule for quoted strings, and Documentation/CodingStyle recommends not splitting quoted strings across lines, because it breaks the ability to grep for the string. Rather than just permitting this, actively warn about quoted strings split across lines. Test case: void context(void) { struct { unsigned magic; const char *strdata; } foo[] = { { 42, "these strings" "do not produce warnings" }, { 256, "though perhaps" "they should" }, }; pr_err("this string" " should produce a warning\n"); pr_err("this multi-line string\n" "should not produce a warning\n"); asm ("this asm\n\t" "should not produce a warning"); } Results of checkpatch on that test case: WARNING: quoted string split across lines + " should produce a warning\n"); total: 0 errors, 1 warnings, 15 lines checked Signed-off-by:Josh Triplett <josh@joshtriplett.org> Acked-by:

With any very high precedence operator it is not necessary to enforce additional parentheses around simple negated expressions. This prevents us requesting further perentheses around the following: #define PMEM_IS_FREE(id, index) !(pmem[id].bitmap[index].allocated) For now add logical and bitwise not and unary minus.

- Generate a 64-bit pattern more efficiently memchr_inv needs to generate a 64-bit pattern filled with a target character. The operation can be done by more efficient way. - Don't call the slow check_bytes() if the memory area is 64-bit aligned memchr_inv compares contiguous 64-bit words with the 64-bit pattern as much as possible. The outside of the region is checked by check_bytes() that scans for each byte. Unfortunately, the first 64-bit word is unexpectedly scanned by check_bytes() even if the memory area is aligned to a 64-bit boundary. Both changes were originally suggested by Eric Dumazet.

* add 'struct lm3530_pwm_data' in the platform data The pwm data is the platform specific functions which generate the pwm. The pwm data is only valid when brightness is pwm input mode. Functions should be implemented by the pwm driver. pwm_set_intensity() : set duty of pwm. pwm_get_intensity() : get current the brightness. * brightness control by pwm If the control mode is pwm, then brightness is changed by the duty of pwm=. So pwm platform function should be called in lm3530_brightness_set(). * do not update brightness register when pwm input mode In pwm input mode, brightness register is not used. If any value is updated in this register, then the led will be off. * when input mode is changed, set duty of pwm to 0 if unnecessary. Signed-off-by:

Only 7 bits are used for updating the brightness. (register address : A0h) So the max_brightness property of lm3530 should be set to 127. On initializing registers, maximum initial brightness is limited to 'max_brightness'. Division-by-two is removed on updating the brightness. This arithmetic is not necessary because the range of brightness is 0 ~ 127= . Signed-off-by:

The lp5521 has autonomous operation mode without external control. Using lp5521_platform_data, various led patterns can be configurable. For supporting this feature, new functions and device attribute are added. Structure of lp5521_led_pattern: 3 channels are supported - red, green and blue. Pattern(s) of each channel and numbers of pattern(s) are defined in the pla= tform data. Pattern data are hexa codes which include pattern commands such like set pwm, wait, ramp up/down, branch and so on. Pattern mode functions: * lp5521_clear_program_memory Before running new led pattern, program memory should be cleared. * lp5521_write_program_memory Pattern data updated in the program memory via the i2c. * lp5521_get_pattern Get pattern from predefined in the platform data. * lp5521_run_led_pattern Stop current pattern or run new pattern. Transition time is required between different operation mode. Device attribute - 'led_pattern': To load specific led pattern, new device attribute is added. When the lp5521 driver is unloaded, stop current led pattern mode. Documentation updated : description about how to define the led patterns and example.
