Use cmpxchg instead of xchg to realize this_cpu_xchg. xchg will cause LOCK overhead since LOCK is always implied but cmpxchg will not. Baselines: xchg() = 18 cycles (no segment prefix, LOCK semantics) __this_cpu_xchg = 1 cycle (simulated using this_cpu_read/write, two prefixes. Looks like the cpu can use loop optimization to get rid of most of the overhead) Cycles before: this_cpu_xchg = 37 cycles (segment prefix and LOCK (implied by xchg)) After: this_cpu_xchg = 11 cycle (using cmpxchg without lock semantics) Signed-off-by: Christoph Lameter <cl@linux.com> Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org>

Provide support as far as the hardware capabilities of the x86 cpus allow. Define CONFIG_CMPXCHG_LOCAL in Kconfig.cpu to allow core code to test for fast cpuops implementations. V1->V2: - Take out the definition for this_cpu_cmpxchg_8 and move it into a separate patch. tj: - Reordered ops to better follow this_cpu_* organization. - Renamed macro temp variables similar to their existing neighbours.

Generic code to provide new per cpu atomic features this_cpu_cmpxchg this_cpu_xchg Fallback occurs to functions using interrupts disable/enable to ensure correct per cpu atomicity. Fallback to regular cmpxchg and xchg is not possible since per cpu atomic semantics include the guarantee that the current cpus per cpu data is accessed atomically. Use of regular cmpxchg and xchg requires the determination of the address of the per cpu data before regular cmpxchg or xchg which therefore cannot be atomically included in an xchg or cmpxchg without segment override. tj: - Relocated new ops to conform better to the general organization. - This patch contains a trivial comment fix.

I am about to commit: http://sourceware.org/ml/binutils/2010-10/msg00033.html that fixes a problem with the LD/SD macro currently implemented by GAS for the o32 ABI in an inconsistent way. This is best illustrated with a simple program, which I'm copying here from the message above for easier reference: $ cat ld.s ld $5,32767($4) ld $5,32768($4) This gets assebled into the following output: $ mips-linux-as -32 -mips3 -o ld.o ld.s $ mips-linux-objdump -d ld.o ld.o: file format elf32-tradbigmips Disassembly of section .text: 00000000 <.text>: 0: dc857fff ld a1,32767(a0) 4: 3c010001 lui at,0x1 8: 00810821 addu at,a0,at c: 8c258000 lw a1,-32768(at) 10: 8c268004 lw a2,-32764(at) ... Oops! The GAS fix makes the macro behave in a consistent way and pairs of LW/SW instructions to be output as appropriate regardless of the size of the offset associated with the address used. The machine instruction is still available, but to reach it macros have to be disabled first. This has a side effect of requiring the use of a machine-addressable memory operand. As some platforms require 64-bit operations for accesses to some I/O registers LD/SD instructions are used in a couple of places in Linux regardless of the ABI selected. Here's a fix for some pieces of code affected I've been able to track down. The fix should be backwards compatible with all supported binutils releases in existence and can be used as a reference for any other places or off-tree code. The use of the "R" constraint guarantees a machine-addressable operand. Signed-off-by: Maciej W.

The nvram_get function was never in the mainline kernel, it only existed in an external OpenWrt patch. Use nvram_getenv function, which is in mainline and use an include instead of an extra function declaration. et0macaddr contains the mac address in text from like 00:11:22:33:44:55. We have to parse it before adding it into macaddr. nvram_parse_macaddr will be merged into asm/mach-bcm47xx/nvram.h through the MIPS git tree and will be available soon. It will not build now without nvram_parse_macaddr, but it hasn't before either.

Consider the following test case: write_c0_compare(read_c0_count()); Even if the counter doesn't increment during execution, this might not generate an interrupt until the counter wraps around. The CPU may perform the comparison each time CP0 COUNT increments, not when CP0 COMPARE is written. If mips_next_event() is called with a very small delta, and CP0 COUNT increments during the calculation of "cnt += delta", it is possible that CP0 COMPARE will be written with the current value of CP0 COUNT. If this is detected, the function should return -ETIME, to indicate that the interrupt might not have actually gotten scheduled.

partial_fixup is used in noreorder block. Separating two consecutive loads can save one cycle on processors with GPR intrelock and can fix load-use on processors that need a load delay slot.

TNETD7200 run their CPU clock faster than the default CPU clock we assume. In order to have the correct loops per jiffies settings, initialize clocks right before setting mips_hpt_frequency.

We never needed that (->regs[2] is overwritten on return from syscall paths with return value of syscall, so storing it there early made no sense) and with new restart logics since d27240bf7e61d2656de18e158ec910a902030847 it has become really bad - we lose the original syscall number before the place where we decide that we might need a syscall restart.

Two x86 patches broke lguest: 1) v2.6.35-492-g72d7c3b3, which changed x86 to use the memblock allocator. In lguest, the host places linear page tables at the top of mem, which used to be enough to get us up to the swapper_pg_dir page tables. With the first patch, the direct mapping tables used that memory: Before: kernel direct mapping tables up to 4000000 @ 7000-1a000 After: kernel direct mapping tables up to 4000000 @ 3fed000-4000000 I initially fixed this by lying about the amount of memory we had, so the kernel wouldn't blatt the lguest boot pagetables (yuk!), but then... 2) v2.6.36-rc8-54-gb40827f, which made x86 boot use initial_page_table. This was initialized in a part of head_32.S which isn't executed by lguest; it is then copied into swapper_pg_dir. So we have to initialize it; and anyway we switch to it before we blatt the old tables, so that fixes the previous damage as well. For the moment, I cut & pasted the code into lguest's boot code, but next merge window I will merge them.
