Denys Vlasenko 1a1d48a4a8 linux/bitmap: Force inlining of bitmap weight functions
With this config:

  http://busybox.net/~vda/kernel_config_OPTIMIZE_INLINING_and_Os

gcc-4.7.2 generates many copies of these tiny functions:

	bitmap_weight (55 copies):
	55                      push   %rbp
	48 89 e5                mov    %rsp,%rbp
	e8 3f 3a 8b 00          callq  __bitmap_weight
	5d                      pop    %rbp
	c3                      retq

	hweight_long (23 copies):
	55                      push   %rbp
	e8 b5 65 8e 00          callq  __sw_hweight64
	48 89 e5                mov    %rsp,%rbp
	5d                      pop    %rbp
	c3                      retq

See https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=66122

This patch fixes this via s/inline/__always_inline/

While at it, replaced two "__inline__" with usual "inline"
(the rest of the source file uses the latter).

Yury Norov 2afe27c718 lib/bitmap.c: bitmap_[empty,full]: remove code duplication
bitmap_empty() has its own implementation.  But it's clearly as simple as:

	find_first_bit(src, nbits) == nbits

The same is true for 'bitmap_full'.

Rasmus Villemoes 89c1e79eb3 linux/bitmap.h: improve BITMAP_{LAST,FIRST}_WORD_MASK
The macro BITMAP_LAST_WORD_MASK can be implemented without a conditional,
which will generally lead to slightly better generated code (221 bytes
saved for allmodconfig-GCOV_KERNEL, ~2k with GCOV_KERNEL).  As a small
bonus, this also ensures that the nbits parameter is expanded exactly
once.

In BITMAP_FIRST_WORD_MASK, if start is signed gcc is technically allowed
to assume it is positive (or divisible by BITS_PER_LONG), and hence just
do the simple mask.  It doesn't seem to use this, and even on an
architecture like x86 where the shift only depends on the lower 5 or 6
bits, and these bits are not affected by the signedness of the expression,
gcc still generates code to compute the C99 mandated value of start %
BITS_PER_LONG.  So just use a mask explicitly, also for consistency with
BITMAP_LAST_WORD_MASK.

Rasmus Villemoes dba94c2553 lib: bitmap: change bitmap_shift_left to take unsigned parameters
gcc can generate slightly better code for stuff like "nbits %
BITS_PER_LONG" when it knows nbits is not negative.  Since negative size
bitmaps or shift amounts don't make sense, change these parameters of
bitmap_shift_right to unsigned.

If off >= lim (which requires shift >= nbits), k is initialized with a
large positive value, but since I've let k continue to be signed, the loop
will never run and dst will be zeroed as expected.  Inside the loop, k is
guaranteed to be non-negative, so the fact that it is promoted to unsigned
in the various expressions it appears in is harmless.

Also use "shift" and "nbits" consistently for the parameter names.

Rasmus Villemoes 2fbad29917 lib: bitmap: change bitmap_shift_right to take unsigned parameters
I've previously changed the nbits parameter of most bitmap_* functions to
unsigned; now it is bitmap_shift_{left,right}'s turn.  This alone saves
some .text, but while at it I found that there were a few other things one
could do.  The end result of these seven patches is

  $ scripts/bloat-o-meter /tmp/bitmap.o.{old,new}
  add/remove: 0/0 grow/shrink: 0/2 up/down: 0/-328 (-328)
  function                                     old     new   delta
  __bitmap_shift_right                         384     226    -158
  __bitmap_shift_left                          306     136    -170

and less importantly also a smaller stack footprint

  $ stack-o-meter.pl master bitmap
  file                 function                       old  new  delta
  lib/bitmap.o         __bitmap_shift_right             24    8  -16
  lib/bitmap.o         __bitmap_shift_left              24    0  -24

For each pair of 0 <= shift <= nbits <= 256 I've tested the end result
with a few randomly filled src buffers (including garbage beyond nbits),
in each case verifying that the shift {left,right}-most bits of dst are
zero and the remaining nbits-shift bits correspond to src, so I'm fairly
confident I didn't screw up.  That hasn't stopped me from being wrong
before, though.

This patch (of 7):

gcc can generate slightly better code for stuff like "nbits %
BITS_PER_LONG" when it knows nbits is not negative.  Since negative size
bitmaps or shift amounts don't make sense, change these parameters of
bitmap_shift_right to unsigned.

The expressions involving "lim - 1" are still ok, since if lim is 0 the
loop is never executed.

Also use "shift" and "nbits" consistently for the parameter names.

Rasmus Villemoes 9b6c2d2e2b lib/bitmap.c: change prototype of bitmap_copy_le
Make the prototype of bitmap_copy_le the same as bitmap_copy's.  All other
bitmap_* functions take unsigned long* parameters; there's no reason this
should be special.

The only current user is the static inline uwb_mas_bm_copy_le, which
already does the void* laundering, so the end users can pass their u8 or
__le32 buffers without a cast.

Furthermore, this allows us to simply let bitmap_copy_le be an alias for
bitmap_copy on little-endian; see next patch.

Rasmus Villemoes 0679cc4836 lib: bitmap: make nbits parameter of bitmap_empty unsigned
Many functions in lib/bitmap.c start with an expression such as lim =
bits/BITS_PER_LONG.  Since bits has type (signed) int, and since gcc
cannot know that it is in fact non-negative, it generates worse code
than it could.  These patches, mostly consisting of changing various
parameters to unsigned, gives a slight overall code reduction:

[The increases in __bitmap_and{,not} are due to bug fixes 17/18,18/18.
No idea why bitmap_weight suddenly appears.] While 163 bytes treewide is
insignificant, I believe the bitmap functions are often called with
locks held, so saving even a few cycles might be worth it.

While making these changes, I found a few other things that might be
worth including.  16,17,18 are actual bug fixes.  The rest shouldn't
change the behaviour of any of the functions, provided no-one passed
negative nbits values.  If something should come up, it should be fairly
bisectable.

A few issues I thought about, but didn't know what to do with:

* Many of the functions misbehave if nbits is compile-time 0; the
  out-of-line functions generally handle 0 correctly.  bitmap_fill() is
  particularly bad, whether the 0 is known at compile time or not.  It
  would probably be nice to add detection of at least compile-time 0 and
  handle that appropriately.

* I didn't change __bitmap_shift_{left,right} to use unsigned because I
  want to fully understand why the algorithm works before making that
  change.  However, AFAICT, they behave correctly for all (positive) shift
  amounts.  This is not the case for the small_const_nbits versions.  If
  for example nbits = n = BITS_PER_LONG, the shift operators turn into
  no-ops (at least on x86), so one get *dst = *src, whereas one would
  expect to get *dst=0.  That difference in behaviour is somewhat
  annoying.

This patch (of 18):

The compiler can generate slightly smaller and simpler code when it
knows that "nbits" is non-negative.  Since no-one passes a negative
bit-count, this shouldn't affect the semantics.

Huang Ying 7f184275aa lib, Make gen_pool memory allocator lockless
This version of the gen_pool memory allocator supports lockless
operation.

This makes it safe to use in NMI handlers and other special
unblockable contexts that could otherwise deadlock on locks.  This is
implemented by using atomic operations and retries on any conflicts.
The disadvantage is that there may be livelocks in extreme cases.  For
better scalability, one gen_pool allocator can be used for each CPU.

The lockless operation only works if there is enough memory available.
If new memory is added to the pool a lock has to be still taken.  So
any user relying on locklessness has to ensure that sufficient memory
is preallocated.

The basic atomic operation of this allocator is cmpxchg on long.  On
architectures that don't have NMI-safe cmpxchg implementation, the
allocator can NOT be used in NMI handler.  So code uses the allocator
in NMI handler should depend on CONFIG_ARCH_HAVE_NMI_SAFE_CMPXCHG.

Michal Hocko 778d3b0ff0 cpusets: randomize node rotor used in cpuset_mem_spread_node()
[ This patch has already been accepted as commit 0ac0c0d0f8 but later
  reverted (commit 35926ff5fb) because it itroduced arch specific
  __node_random which was defined only for x86 code so it broke other
  archs.  This is a followup without any arch specific code.  Other than
  that there are no functional changes.]

Some workloads that create a large number of small files tend to assign
too many pages to node 0 (multi-node systems).  Part of the reason is
that the rotor (in cpuset_mem_spread_node()) used to assign nodes starts
at node 0 for newly created tasks.

This patch changes the rotor to be initialized to a random node number
of the cpuset.

Mike Travis 4b060420a5 bitmap, irq: add smp_affinity_list interface to /proc/irq
Manually adjusting the smp_affinity for IRQ's becomes unwieldy when the
cpu count is large.

Setting smp affinity to cpus 256 to 263 would be:

	echo 000000ff,00000000,00000000,00000000,00000000,00000000,00000000,00000000 > smp_affinity

instead of:

	echo 256-263 > smp_affinity_list

Think about what it looks like for cpus around say, 4088 to 4095.

We already have many alternate "list" interfaces:

/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpuX/indexY/shared_cpu_list
/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpuX/topology/thread_siblings_list
/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpuX/topology/core_siblings_list
/sys/devices/system/node/nodeX/cpulist
/sys/devices/pci***/***/local_cpulist

Add a companion interface, smp_affinity_list to use cpu lists instead of
cpu maps.  This conforms to other companion interfaces where both a map
and a list interface exists.

This required adding a bitmap_parselist_user() function in a manner
similar to the bitmap_parse_user() function.

This introduces new bitmap functions:

bitmap_set: Set specified bit area
bitmap_clear: Clear specified bit area
bitmap_find_next_zero_area: Find free bit area

These are mostly stolen from iommu helper. The differences are:

- Use find_next_bit instead of doing test_bit for each bit

- Rewrite bitmap_set and bitmap_clear

  Instead of setting or clearing for each bit.

- Check the last bit of the limit

  iommu-helper doesn't want to find such area

- The return value if there is no zero area

  find_next_zero_area in iommu helper: returns -1
  bitmap_find_next_zero_area: return >= bitmap size

Linus Torvalds f4b0373b26 Make bitmask 'and' operators return a result code
When 'and'ing two bitmasks (where 'andnot' is a variation on it), some
cases want to know whether the result is the empty set or not.  In
particular, the TLB IPI sending code wants to do cpumask operations and
determine if there are any CPU's left in the final set.

So this just makes the bitmask (and cpumask) functions return a boolean
for whether the result has any bits set.

1023, check returns -EINVAL.

Fix it by switching to seq_file, so handler will just fill buffer and

Paul Jackson 7ea931c9fc mempolicy: add bitmap_onto() and bitmap_fold() operations
The following adds two more bitmap operators, bitmap_onto() and bitmap_fold(),
with the usual cpumask and nodemask wrappers.

The bitmap_onto() operator computes one bitmap relative to another.  If the
n-th bit in the origin mask is set, then the m-th bit of the destination mask
will be set, where m is the position of the n-th set bit in the relative mask.

The bitmap_fold() operator folds a bitmap into a second that has bit m set iff
the input bitmap has some bit n set, where m == n mod sz, for the specified sz
value.

There are two substantive changes between this patch and its
predecessor bitmap_relative:
 1) Renamed bitmap_relative() to be bitmap_onto().
 2) Added bitmap_fold().

The essential motivation for bitmap_onto() is to provide a mechanism for
converting a cpuset-relative CPU or Node mask to an absolute mask.  Cpuset
relative masks are written as if the current task were in a cpuset whose CPUs
or Nodes were just the consecutive ones numbered 0..N-1, for some N.  The
bitmap_onto() operator is provided in anticipation of adding support for the
first such cpuset relative mask, by the mbind() and set_mempolicy() system
calls, using a planned flag of MPOL_F_RELATIVE_NODES.  These bitmap operators
(and their nodemask wrappers, in particular) will be used in code that
converts the user specified cpuset relative memory policy to a specific system
node numbered policy, given the current mems_allowed of the tasks cpuset.

Such cpuset relative mempolicies will address two deficiencies
of the existing interface between cpusets and mempolicies:
 1) A task cannot at present reliably establish a cpuset
    relative mempolicy because there is an essential race
    condition, in that the tasks cpuset may be changed in
    between the time the task can query its cpuset placement,
    and the time the task can issue the applicable mbind or
    set_memplicy system call.
 2) A task cannot at present establish what cpuset relative
    mempolicy it would like to have, if it is in a smaller
    cpuset than it might have mempolicy preferences for,
    because the existing interface only allows specifying
    mempolicies for nodes currently allowed by the cpuset.

Cpuset relative mempolicies are useful for tasks that don't distinguish
particularly between one CPU or Node and another, but only between how many of
each are allowed, and the proper placement of threads and memory pages on the
various CPUs and Nodes available.

The motivation for the added bitmap_fold() can be seen in the following
example.

Let's say an application has specified some mempolicies that presume 16 memory
nodes, including say a mempolicy that specified MPOL_F_RELATIVE_NODES (cpuset
relative) nodes 12-15.  Then lets say that application is crammed into a
cpuset that only has 8 memory nodes, 0-7.  If one just uses bitmap_onto(),
this mempolicy, mapped to that cpuset, would ignore the requested relative
nodes above 7, leaving it empty of nodes.  That's not good; better to fold the
higher nodes down, so that some nodes are included in the resulting mapped
mempolicy.  In this case, the mempolicy nodes 12-15 are taken modulo 8 (the
weight of the mems_allowed of the confining cpuset), resulting in a mempolicy
specifying nodes 4-7.

Mike Travis 30ca60c15a cpumask: add cpumask_scnprintf_len function
Add a new function cpumask_scnprintf_len() to return the number of
characters needed to display "len" cpumask bits.  The current method
of allocating NR_CPUS bytes is incorrect as what's really needed is
9 characters per 32-bit word of cpumask bits (8 hex digits plus the
seperator [','] or the terminating NULL.)  This function provides the
caller the means to allocate the correct string length.

remove BITS_TO_TYPE macro

I realized, that it is actually the same as DIV_ROUND_UP, use it instead.

Reinette Chatre 01a3ee2b20 [PATCH] bitmap: parse input from kernel and user buffers
lib/bitmap.c:bitmap_parse() is a library function that received as input a
user buffer.  This seemed to have originated from the way the write_proc
function of the /proc filesystem operates.

This has been reworked to not use kmalloc and eliminates a lot of
get_user() overhead by performing one access_ok before using __get_user().

We need to test if we are in kernel or user space (is_user) and access the
buffer differently.  We cannot use __get_user() to access kernel addresses
in all cases, for example in architectures with separate address space for
kernel and user.

This function will be useful for other uses as well; for example, taking
input for /sysfs instead of /proc, so it was changed to accept kernel
buffers.  We have this use for the Linux UWB project, as part as the
upcoming bandwidth allocator code.

Only a few routines used this function and they were changed too.
