The following NOP in a hot function caught my attention: > 5a: 66 0f 1f 44 00 00 nopw 0x0(%rax,%rax,1) That's a dead NOP that bloats the function a bit, added for the default 16-byte alignment that GCC applies for jump targets. I realize that x86 CPU manufacturers recommend 16-byte jump target alignments (it's in the Intel optimization manual), to help their relatively narrow decoder prefetch alignment and uop cache constraints, but the cost of that is very significant: text data bss dec filename 12566391 1617840 1089536 15273767 vmlinux.align.16-byte 12224951 1617840 1089536 14932327 vmlinux.align.1-byte By using 1-byte jump target alignment (i.e. no alignment at all) we get an almost 3% reduction in kernel size (!) - and a probably similar reduction in I$ footprint. Now, the usual justification for jump target alignment is the following: - modern decoders tend to have 16-byte (effective) decoder prefetch windows. (AMD documents it higher but measurements suggest the effective prefetch window on curretn uarchs is still around 16 bytes) - on Intel there's also the uop-cache with cachelines that have 16-byte granularity and limited associativity. - older x86 uarchs had a penalty for decoder fetches that crossed 16-byte boundaries. These limits are mostly gone from recent uarchs. So if a forward jump target is aligned to cacheline boundary then prefetches will start from a new prefetch-cacheline and there's higher chance for decoding in fewer steps and packing tightly. But I think that argument is flawed for typical optimized kernel code flows: forward jumps often go to 'cold' (uncommon) pieces of code, and aligning cold code to cache lines does not bring a lot of advantages (they are uncommon), while it causes collateral damage: - their alignment 'spreads out' the cache footprint, it shifts followup hot code further out - plus it slows down even 'cold' code that immediately follows 'hot' code (like in the above case), which could have benefited from the partial cacheline that comes off the end of hot code. But even in the cache-hot case the 16 byte alignment brings disadvantages: - it spreads out the cache footprint, possibly making the code fall out of the L1 I$. - On Intel CPUs, recent microarchitectures have plenty of uop cache (typically doubling every 3 years) - while the size of the L1 cache grows much less aggressively. So workloads are rarely uop cache limited. The only situation where alignment might matter are tight loops that could fit into a single 16 byte chunk - but those are pretty rare in the kernel: if they exist they tend to be pointer chasing or generic memory ops, which both tend to be cache miss (or cache allocation) intensive and are not decoder bandwidth limited. So the balance of arguments strongly favors packing kernel instructions tightly versus maximizing for decoder bandwidth: this patch changes the jump target alignment from 16 bytes to 1 byte (tightly packed, unaligned).

Software optimization guides for both F15h and F16h cite those NOPs as the optimal ones. A microbenchmark confirms that actually even older families are better with the single-insn NOPs so switch to them for the alternatives.

32-bit code has PER_CPU_VAR(cpu_current_top_of_stack). 64-bit code uses somewhat more obscure: PER_CPU_VAR(cpu_tss + TSS_sp0). Define the 'cpu_current_top_of_stack' macro on CONFIG_X86_64 as well so that the PER_CPU_VAR(cpu_current_top_of_stack) expression can be used in both 32-bit and 64-bit code.

PER_CPU_VAR(kernel_stack) is redundant: - On the 64-bit build, we can use PER_CPU_VAR(cpu_tss + TSS_sp0). - On the 32-bit build, we can use PER_CPU_VAR(cpu_current_top_of_stack).

On AMD CPUs, SYSRET can return with a valid SS descriptor with with the hidden attributes set to an unusable state. Make sure the kernel doesn't let this happen. This detects an as-yet-unfixed regression. Note that the 64-bit version of this test fails on AMD CPUs on all kernel versions, although the issue in the 64-bit case is much less severe than in the 32-bit case.

Way back, when the world was a simpler place and there was no war, no evil, and no kernel bugs, there was just a single pinctrl lock. That was how the world was when (57291ce2 pinctrl: core device tree mapping table parsing support) was written. In that case, there were instances where the pinctrl mutex was already held when pinctrl_register_map() was called, hence a "locked" parameter was passed to the function to indicate that the mutex was already locked (so we shouldn't lock it again). A few years ago in (42fed7ba pinctrl: move subsystem mutex to pinctrl_dev struct), we switched to a separate pinctrl_maps_mutex. ...but (oops) we forgot to re-think about the whole "locked" parameter for pinctrl_register_map(). Basically the "locked" parameter appears to still refer to whether the bigger pinctrl_dev mutex is locked, but we're using it to skip locks of our (now separate) pinctrl_maps_mutex. That's kind of a bad thing(TM). Probably nobody noticed because most of the calls to pinctrl_register_map happen at boot time and we've got synchronous device probing. ...and even cases where we're asynchronous don't end up actually hitting the race too often. ...but after banging my head against the wall for a bug that reproduced 1 out of 1000 reboots and lots of looking through kgdb, I finally noticed this. Anyway, we can now safely remove the "locked" parameter and go back to a war-free, evil-free, and kernel-bug-free world.

Make sure that xen_swiotlb_init allocates buffers that are DMA capable when at least one memblock is available below 4G. Otherwise we assume that all devices on the SoC can cope with >4G addresses. We do this on ARM and ARM64, where dom0 is mapped 1:1, so pfn == mfn in this case. No functional changes on x86.

The following commit: f893959b ("x86/fpu: Don't abuse drop_init_fpu() in flush_thread()") removed drop_init_fpu() usage from flush_thread(). This seems to break things for me - the Go 1.4 test suite fails all over the place with floating point comparision errors (offending commit found through bisection). The functional change was that flush_thread() after this commit only calls restore_init_xstate() when both use_eager_fpu() and !used_math() are true. drop_init_fpu() (now fpu_reset_state()) calls restore_init_xstate() regardless of whether current used_math() - apply the same logic here. Switch used_math() -> tsk_used_math(tsk) to consistently use the grabbed tsk instead of current, like in the rest of flush_thread().

GCC 5 added a compiler option, -mskip-rax-setup, for x86-64. It skips setting up the RAX register when SSE is disabled and there are no variable arguments passed in vector registers. (According to the x86_64 ABI, %al is used as a hidden register containing the number of vector registers used). Since the kernel doesn't pass vector registers to functions with variable arguments, this option can be used to optimize the x86-64 kernel. This GCC feature was suggested by Rasmus Villemoes <linux@rasmusvillemoes.dk>. This is the corresponding kernel change using it.

I'm a softy. - Linus ] * emailed patches from Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org>: rtc: armada38x: fix concurrency access in armada38x_rtc_set_time ocfs2: dlm: fix race between purge and get lock resource nilfs2: fix sanity check of btree level in nilfs_btree_root_broken() util_macros.h: have array pointer point to array of constants configfs: init configfs module earlier at boot time mm/hwpoison-inject: check PageLRU of hpage mm/hwpoison-inject: fix refcounting in no-injection case mm: soft-offline: fix num_poisoned_pages counting on concurrent events rtc: add rtc-abx80x, a driver for the Abracon AB x80x i2c rtc Documentation: bindings: add abracon,abx80x kasan: show gcc version requirements in Kconfig and Documentation mm/memory-failure: call shake_page() when error hits thp tail page lib: delete lib/find_last_bit.c MAINTAINERS: add co-maintainer for LED subsystem zram: add Designated Reviewer for zram in MAINTAINERS revert "zram: move compact_store() to sysfs functions area"

Lots of little fixes for multi-part messages: The values was not being re-initialized, if something went wrong handling a multi-part message and it got left in a bad state, it might be an issue. The commands were not correct when issuing multi-part reads, the code was not passing in the proper value for commands. Also clean up some minor formatting issues. Get the block number from the right location, limit the maximum send message size to 63 bytes and explain why, and fix some minor sylistic issues. Signed-off-by: Corey Minyard <cminyard@mvista.com>

The SSIF interface can optionally have an SMBus alert come in when data is ready. Unfortunately, the IPMI spec gives wiggle room to the implementer to allow them to always have the alert enabled, even if the driver doesn't enable it. So implement alerts. If you don't in this situation, the SMBus alert handling will constantly complain. Signed-off-by: Corey Minyard <cminyard@mvista.com>
