94f6030ca7 Slab allocators: Replace explicit zeroing with __GFP_ZERO
kmalloc_node() and kmem_cache_alloc_node() were not available in a zeroing
variant in the past.  But with __GFP_ZERO it is possible now to do zeroing
while allocating.

Use __GFP_ZERO to remove the explicit clearing of memory via memset whereever
we can.

4277eedd79 vsprintf.c: optimizing, part 2: base 10 conversion speedup, v2
Optimize integer-to-string conversion in vsprintf.c for base 10.  This is
by far the most used conversion, and in some use cases it impacts
performance.  For example, top reads /proc/$PID/stat for every process, and
with 4000 processes decimal conversion alone takes noticeable time.

Using code from

http://www.cs.uiowa.edu/~jones/bcd/decimal.html
(with permission from the author, Douglas W. Jones)

binary-to-decimal-string conversion is done in groups of five digits at
once, using only additions/subtractions/shifts (with -O2; -Os throws in
some multiply instructions).

On i386 arch gcc 4.1.2 -O2 generates ~500 bytes of code.

This patch is run tested. Userspace benchmark/test is also attached.
I tested it on PIII and AMD64 and new code is generally ~2.5 times
faster. On AMD64:

# ./vsprintf_verify-O2
Original decimal conv: .......... 151 ns per iteration
Patched decimal conv:  .......... 62 ns per iteration
Testing correctness
12895992590592 ok...        [Ctrl-C]
# ./vsprintf_verify-O2
Original decimal conv: .......... 151 ns per iteration
Patched decimal conv:  .......... 62 ns per iteration
Testing correctness
26025406464 ok...        [Ctrl-C]

More realistic test: top from busybox project was modified to
report how many us it took to scan /proc (this does not account
any processing done after that, like sorting process list),
and then I test it with 4000 processes:

#!/bin/sh
i=4000
while test $i != 0; do
    sleep 30 &
    let i--
done
busybox top -b -n3 >/dev/null

on unpatched kernel:

top: 4120 processes took 102864 microseconds to scan
top: 4120 processes took 91757 microseconds to scan
top: 4120 processes took 92517 microseconds to scan
top: 4120 processes took 92581 microseconds to scan

on patched kernel:

top: 4120 processes took 75460 microseconds to scan
top: 4120 processes took 66451 microseconds to scan
top: 4120 processes took 67267 microseconds to scan
top: 4120 processes took 67618 microseconds to scan

The speedup comes from much faster generation of /proc/PID/stat
by sprintf() calls inside the kernel.

b39a734097 vsprintf.c: optimizing, part 1 (easy and obvious stuff)
* There is no point in having full "0...9a...z" constant vector,
  if we use only "0...9a...f" (and "x" for "0x").

* Post-decrement usually needs a few more instructions, so use
  pre decrement instead where makes sense:
-       while (i < precision--) {
+       while (i <= --precision) {

* if base != 10 (=> base 8 or 16), we can avoid using division
  in a loop and use mask/shift, obtaining much faster conversion.
  (More complex optimization for base 10 case is in the second patch).

Overall, size vsprintf.o shows ~80 bytes smaller text section
with this patch applied.

608e261968 generic bug: use show_regs() instead of dump_stack()
The current generic bug implementation has a call to dump_stack() in case a
WARN_ON(whatever) gets hit.  Since report_bug(), which calls dump_stack(),
gets called from an exception handler we can do better: just pass the
pt_regs structure to report_bug() and pass it to show_regs() in case of a
warning.  This will give more debug informations like register contents,
etc...  In addition this avoids some pointless lines that dump_stack()
emits, since it includes a stack backtrace of the exception handler which
is of no interest in case of a warning.  E.g.  on s390 the following lines
are currently always present in a stack backtrace if dump_stack() gets
called from report_bug():

 [<000000000001517a>] show_trace+0x92/0xe8)
 [<0000000000015270>] show_stack+0xa0/0xd0

c67ad917cb percpu_counters(): use cpu notifiers
per-cpu counters presently must iterate over all possible CPUs in the
exhaustive percpu_counter_sum().

But it can be much better to only iterate over the presently-online CPUs.  To
do this, we must arrange for an offlined CPU's count to be spilled into the
counter's central count.

We can do this for all percpu_counters in the machine by linking them into a
single global list and walking that list at CPU_DEAD time.

(I hope.  Might have race windows in which the percpu_counter_sum() count is
inaccurate?)

f0630fff54 SLUB: support slub_debug on by default
Add a new configuration variable

CONFIG_SLUB_DEBUG_ON

If set then the kernel will be booted by default with slab debugging
switched on. Similar to CONFIG_SLAB_DEBUG. By default slab debugging
is available but must be enabled by specifying "slub_debug" as a
kernel parameter.

Also add support to switch off slab debugging for a kernel that was
built with CONFIG_SLUB_DEBUG_ON. This works by specifying

slub_debug=-

as a kernel parameter.

Dave Jones wanted this feature.

23936cc0b5 lib: add idr_remove_all
Remove all ids from the given idr tree.  idr_destroy() only frees up
unused, cached idp_layers, but this function will remove all id mappings
and leave all idp_layers unused.

A typical clean-up sequence for objects stored in an idr tree, will use
idr_for_each() to free all objects, if necessay, then idr_remove_all() to
remove all ids, and idr_destroy() to free up the cached idr_layers.

96d7fa421e lib: add idr_for_each()
This patch adds an iterator function for the idr data structure.  Compared
to just iterating through the idr with an integer and idr_find, this
iterator is (almost, but not quite) linear in the number of elements, as
opposed to the number of integers in the range covered by the idr.  This
makes a difference for sparse idrs, but more importantly, it's a nicer way
to iterate through the elements.

The drm subsystem is moving to idr for tracking contexts and drawables, and
with this change, we can use the idr exclusively for tracking these
resources.

72dba584b6 ida: implement idr based id allocator
Implement idr based id allocator.  ida is used the same way idr is
used but lacks id -> ptr translation and thus consumes much less
memory.  struct ida_bitmap is attached as leaf nodes to idr tree which
is managed by the idr code.  Each ida_bitmap is 128bytes long and
contains slightly less than a thousand slots.

ida is more aggressive with releasing extra resources acquired using
ida_pre_get().  After every successful id allocation, ida frees one
reserved idr_layer if possible.  Reserved ida_bitmap is not freed
automatically but only one ida_bitmap is reserved and it's almost
always used right away.  Under most circumstances, ida won't hold on
to memory for too long which isn't actively used.

e33ac8bdb0 idr: separate out idr_mark_full()
Separate out idr_mark_full() from sub_alloc() and make marking the
allocated slot full the responsibility of idr_get_new_above_int().

Allocation part of idr_get_new_above_int() is renamed to
idr_get_empty_slot().  New idr_get_new_above_int() allocates a slot
using the function, install the user pointer and marks it full using
idr_mark_full().

This change doesn't introduce any behavior change.  This will be
used by ida.

7aae6dd80e idr: fix obscure bug in allocation path
In sub_alloc(), when bitmap search fails, it goes up one level to
continue search.  This is done by updating the id cursor and searching
the upper level again.  If the cursor was at the end of the upper
level, we need to go further than that.

This wasn't implemented and when that happens the part of the cursor
which indexes into the upper level wraps and sub_alloc() ends up
searching the wrong bitmap.  It allocates id which doesn't match the
actual slot.

This patch fixes this by restarting from the top if the search needs
to go higher than one level.

This is a hybrid version of the patch to add the LZO1X compression
algorithm to the kernel.  Nitin and myself have merged the best parts of
the various patches to form this version which we're both happy with (and

The performance of this version is equivalent to the original minilzo code
it was based on.  Bytecode comparisons have also been made on ARM, i386 and
x86_64 with favourable results.

There are several users of LZO lined up including jffs2, crypto and reiser4
since its much faster than zlib.

c790923499 hexdump: more output formatting
Add a prefix string parameter.  Callers are responsible for any string
length/alignment that they want to see in the output.  I.e., callers should
pad strings to achieve alignment if they want that.

Add rowsize parameter.  This is the number of raw data bytes to be printed
per line.  Must be 16 or 32.

Add a groupsize parameter.  This allows callers to dump values as 1-byte,
2-byte, 4-byte, or 8-byte numbers.  Default is 1-byte numbers.  If the
total length is not an even multiple of groupsize, 1-byte numbers are
printed.

Add an "ascii" output parameter.  This causes ASCII data output following
the hex data output.

Clean up some doc examples.

Align the ASCII output on all lines that are produced by one call.

Add a new interface, print_hex_dump_bytes(), that is a shortcut to
print_hex_dump(), using default parameter values to print 16 bytes in
byte-size chunks of hex + ASCII output, using printk level KERN_DEBUG.
