Add drm_atomic_helper_disable_planes_on_crtc() for disabling all planes associated with the given CRTC. This can be used for instance in the CRTC helper disable callback to disable all planes before shutting down the display pipeline. v2: - Address Daniels review comments [1] - Do atomic_begin() and atomic_flush() always if they are defined and atomic knob is set - update kerneldoc - Put drm_atomic_helper_disable_planes_on_crtc() after drm_atomic_helper_commit_planes_on_crtc() in drm_atomic_helper.c to have functions in the same order as in drm_atomic_helper.h Signed-off-by:Jyri Sarha <jsarha@ti.com> Link: http://patchwork.freedesktop.org/patch/msgid/1448633641-6486-1-git-send-email-jsarha@ti.comSigned-off-by:

The previous patch reintroduced a race condition whereby a failure in one reader may allow a second reader to see out-of-order events. Introduce a mutex to serialise readers so that an event is completed in its entirety before another reader may process an event. The two readers may race against each other, but the events each retrieves are in the correct order. Signed-off-by:

In commit cdd1cf79 Author: Chris Wilson <chris@chris-wilson.co.uk> Date: Thu Dec 4 21:03:25 2014 +0000 drm: Make drm_read() more robust against multithreaded races I fixed the races by serialising the use of the event by extending the dev->event_lock. However, as Thomas pointed out, the copy_to_user() may fault (even the __copy_to_user_inatomic() variant used here) and calling into the driver backend with the spinlock held is bad news. Therefore we have to drop the spinlock before the copy, but that exposes us to the old race whereby a second reader could see an out-of-order event (as the first reader may claim the first request but fail to copy it back to userspace and so on returning it to the event list it will be behind the current event being copied by the second reader).

We have serious dangling else bugs waiting to happen in our for_each_ style macros with ifs. Consider, for example, #define for_each_power_domain(domain, mask) \ for ((domain) = 0; (domain) < POWER_DOMAIN_NUM; (domain)++) \ if ((1 << (domain)) & (mask)) If this is used in context: if (condition) for_each_power_domain(domain, mask); else foo(); foo() will be called for each domain *not* in mask, if condition holds, and not at all if condition doesn't hold. Fix this by reversing the conditions in the macros, and adding an else branch for the "for each" block, so that other if/else blocks can't interfere. Provide a "for_each_if" helper macro to make it easier to get this right. v2: move for_each_if to drmP.h in a separate patch.

To avoid even more code duplication punt this all to the probe worker, which needs some slight adjustment to also generate a uevent when the status has changed to due connector->force. v2: Instead of running the output_poll_work (which is kinda the wrong thing and a layering violation since it's an internal of the probe helpers), or calling ->detect (which is again a layering violation since it's used only by probe helpers) just call the official ->fill_modes function, like a GET_CONNECTOR ioctl call. v3: Restore the accidentally removed forced-probe for echo "detect" > force.

Adjust kmem_cache_alloc_bulk API before we have any real users. Adjust API to return type 'int' instead of previously type 'bool'. This is done to allow future extension of the bulk alloc API. A future extension could be to allow SLUB to stop at a page boundary, when specified by a flag, and then return the number of objects. The advantage of this approach, would make it easier to make bulk alloc run without local IRQs disabled. With an approach of cmpxchg "stealing" the entire c->freelist or page->freelist. To avoid overshooting we would stop processing at a slab-page boundary. Else we always end up returning some objects at the cost of another cmpxchg. To keep compatible with future users of this API linking against an older kernel when using the new flag, we need to return the number of allocated objects with this API change. Signed-off-by:

Initial implementation missed support for kmem cgroup support in kmem_cache_free_bulk() call, add this. If CONFIG_MEMCG_KMEM is not enabled, the compiler should be smart enough to not add any asm code. Incoming bulk free objects can belong to different kmem cgroups, and object free call can happen at a later point outside memcg context. Thus, we need to keep the orig kmem_cache, to correctly verify if a memcg object match against its "root_cache" (s->memcg_params.root_cache). Signed-off-by:

The call slab_pre_alloc_hook() interacts with kmemgc and is not allowed to be called several times inside the bulk alloc for loop, due to the call to memcg_kmem_get_cache(). This would result in hitting the VM_BUG_ON in __memcg_kmem_get_cache. As suggested by Vladimir Davydov, change slab_post_alloc_hook() to be able to handle an array of objects. A subtle detail is, loop iterator "i" in slab_post_alloc_hook() must have same type (size_t) as size argument. This helps the compiler to easier realize that it can remove the loop, when all debug statements inside loop evaluates to nothing. Note, this is only an issue because the kernel is compiled with GCC option: -fno-strict-overflow In slab_alloc_node() the compiler inlines and optimizes the invocation of slab_post_alloc_hook(s, flags, 1, &object) by removing the loop and access object directly.

This change focus on improving the speed of object freeing in the "slowpath" of kmem_cache_free_bulk. The calls slab_free (fastpath) and __slab_free (slowpath) have been extended with support for bulk free, which amortize the overhead of the (locked) cmpxchg_double. To use the new bulking feature, we build what I call a detached freelist. The detached freelist takes advantage of three properties: 1) the free function call owns the object that is about to be freed, thus writing into this memory is synchronization-free. 2) many freelist's can co-exist side-by-side in the same slab-page each with a separate head pointer. 3) it is the visibility of the head pointer that needs synchronization. Given these properties, the brilliant part is that the detached freelist can be constructed without any need for synchronization. The freelist is constructed directly in the page objects, without any synchronization needed. The detached freelist is allocated on the stack of the function call kmem_cache_free_bulk. Thus, the freelist head pointer is not visible to other CPUs. All objects in a SLUB freelist must belong to the same slab-page. Thus, constructing the detached freelist is about matching objects that belong to the same slab-page. The bulk free array is scanned is a progressive manor with a limited look-ahead facility. Kmem debug support is handled in call of slab_free(). Notice kmem_cache_free_bulk no longer need to disable IRQs. This only slowed down single free bulk with approx 3 cycles.

This is believed to (primarily) be an effect of not having to share the per-CPU data-structures, as tuning per-CPU size can achieve similar performance. bulk - slab_nomerge - normal SLUB merge 1 - 49 cycles(tsc) - 49 cycles(tsc) - merge slower with cycles:0 2 - 30 cycles(tsc) - 30 cycles(tsc) - merge slower with cycles:0 3 - 23 cycles(tsc) - 23 cycles(tsc) - merge slower with cycles:0 4 - 20 cycles(tsc) - 20 cycles(tsc) - merge slower with cycles:0 8 - 18 cycles(tsc) - 18 cycles(tsc) - merge slower with cycles:0 16 - 17 cycles(tsc) - 17 cycles(tsc) - merge slower with cycles:0 30 - 18 cycles(tsc) - 23 cycles(tsc) - merge slower with cycles:5 32 - 18 cycles(tsc) - 22 cycles(tsc) - merge slower with cycles:4 34 - 23 cycles(tsc) - 22 cycles(tsc) - merge slower with cycles:-1 48 - 21 cycles(tsc) - 22 cycles(tsc) - merge slower with cycles:1 64 - 20 cycles(tsc) - 48 cycles(tsc) - merge slower with cycles:28 128 - 27 cycles(tsc) - 57 cycles(tsc) - merge slower with cycles:30 158 - 30 cycles(tsc) - 59 cycles(tsc) - merge slower with cycles:29 250 - 37 cycles(tsc) - 56 cycles(tsc) - merge slower with cycles:19 Joint work with Alexander Duyck.

Make it possible to free a freelist with several objects by adjusting API of slab_free() and __slab_free() to have head, tail and an objects counter (cnt). Tail being NULL indicate single object free of head object. This allow compiler inline constant propagation in slab_free() and slab_free_freelist_hook() to avoid adding any overhead in case of single object free. This allows a freelist with several objects (all within the same slab-page) to be free'ed using a single locked cmpxchg_double in __slab_free() and with an unlocked cmpxchg_double in slab_free(). Object debugging on the free path is also extended to handle these freelists. When CONFIG_SLUB_DEBUG is enabled it will also detect if objects don't belong to the same slab-page. These changes are needed for the next patch to bulk free the detached freelists it introduces and constructs. Micro benchmarking showed no performance reduction due to this change, when debugging is turned off (compiled with CONFIG_SLUB_DEBUG). Signed-off-by:

This patch adds huge page support to allow userspace to allocate huge pages and to use hugetlbfs filesystem on 32- and 64-bit Linux kernels. A later patch will add kernel support to map kernel text and data on huge pages. The only requirement is, that the kernel needs to be compiled for a PA8X00 CPU (PA2.0 architecture). Older PA1.X CPUs do not support variable page sizes. 64bit Kernels are compiled for PA2.0 by default. Technically on parisc multiple physical huge pages may be needed to emulate standard 2MB huge pages. Signed-off-by: -

Use the 22bit instead of the 17bit branch instruction on a 64bit kernel to reach the do_syscall_trace_exit function from the gateway page. A huge page enabled kernel may need the additional branch distance bits. Signed-off-by:
