Linus Torvalds 7e0fb73c52 Merge branch 'hash' of git://ftp.sciencehorizons.net/linux
Pull string hash improvements from George Spelvin:
 "This series does several related things:

   - Makes the dcache hash (fs/namei.c) useful for general kernel use.

     (Thanks to Bruce for noticing the zero-length corner case)

   - Converts the string hashes in <linux/sunrpc/svcauth.h> to use the
     above.

   - Avoids 64-bit multiplies in hash_64() on 32-bit platforms.  Two
     32-bit multiplies will do well enough.

   - Rids the world of the bad hash multipliers in hash_32.

     This finishes the job started in commit 689de1d6ca ("Minimal
     fix-up of bad hashing behavior of hash_64()")

     The vast majority of Linux architectures have hardware support for
     32x32-bit multiply and so derive no benefit from "simplified"
     multipliers.

     The few processors that do not (68000, h8/300 and some models of
     Microblaze) have arch-specific implementations added.  Those
     patches are last in the series.

   - Overhauls the dcache hash mixing.

     The patch in commit 0fed3ac866 ("namei: Improve hash mixing if
     CONFIG_DCACHE_WORD_ACCESS") was an off-the-cuff suggestion.
     Replaced with a much more careful design that's simultaneously
     faster and better.  (My own invention, as there was noting suitable
     in the literature I could find.  Comments welcome!)

   - Modify the hash_name() loop to skip the initial HASH_MIX().  This
     would let us salt the hash if we ever wanted to.

   - Sort out partial_name_hash().

     The hash function is declared as using a long state, even though
     it's truncated to 32 bits at the end and the extra internal state
     contributes nothing to the result.  And some callers do odd things:

      - fs/hfs/string.c only allocates 32 bits of state
      - fs/hfsplus/unicode.c uses it to hash 16-bit unicode symbols not bytes

   - Modify bytemask_from_count to handle inputs of 1..sizeof(long)
     rather than 0..sizeof(long)-1.  This would simplify users other
     than full_name_hash"

  Special thanks to Bruce Fields for testing and finding bugs in v1.  (I
  learned some humbling lessons about "obviously correct" code.)

  On the arch-specific front, the m68k assembly has been tested in a
  standalone test harness, I've been in contact with the Microblaze
  maintainers who mostly don't care, as the hardware multiplier is never
  omitted in real-world applications, and I haven't heard anything from
  the H8/300 world"

George Spelvin 4684fe9530 h8300: Add <asm/hash.h>
This will improve the performance of hash_32() and hash_64(), but due
to complete lack of multi-bit shift instructions on H8, performance will
still be bad in surrounding code.

Designing H8-specific hash algorithms to work around that is a separate
project.  (But if the maintainers would like to get in touch...)

Zhaoxiu Zeng fff7fb0b2d lib/GCD.c: use binary GCD algorithm instead of Euclidean
The binary GCD algorithm is based on the following facts:
	1. If a and b are all evens, then gcd(a,b) = 2 * gcd(a/2, b/2)
	2. If a is even and b is odd, then gcd(a,b) = gcd(a/2, b)
	3. If a and b are all odds, then gcd(a,b) = gcd((a-b)/2, b) = gcd((a+b)/2, b)

Even on x86 machines with reasonable division hardware, the binary
algorithm runs about 25% faster (80% the execution time) than the
division-based Euclidian algorithm.

On platforms like Alpha and ARMv6 where division is a function call to
emulation code, it's even more significant.

There are two variants of the code here, depending on whether a fast
__ffs (find least significant set bit) instruction is available.  This
allows the unpredictable branches in the bit-at-a-time shifting loop to
be eliminated.

If fast __ffs is not available, the "even/odd" GCD variant is used.

I use the following code to benchmark:

	#include <stdio.h>
	#include <stdlib.h>
	#include <stdint.h>
	#include <string.h>
	#include <time.h>

Rusty Russell b92021b09d CONFIG_SYMBOL_PREFIX: cleanup.
We have CONFIG_SYMBOL_PREFIX, which three archs define to the string
"_".  But Al Viro broke this in "consolidate cond_syscall and
SYSCALL_ALIAS declarations" (in linux-next), and he's not the first to
do so.

Using CONFIG_SYMBOL_PREFIX is awkward, since we usually just want to
prefix it so something.  So various places define helpers which are
defined to nothing if CONFIG_SYMBOL_PREFIX isn't set:

1) include/asm-generic/unistd.h defines __SYMBOL_PREFIX.
2) include/asm-generic/vmlinux.lds.h defines VMLINUX_SYMBOL(sym)
3) include/linux/export.h defines MODULE_SYMBOL_PREFIX.
4) include/linux/kernel.h defines SYMBOL_PREFIX (which differs from #7)
5) kernel/modsign_certificate.S defines ASM_SYMBOL(sym)
6) scripts/modpost.c defines MODULE_SYMBOL_PREFIX
7) scripts/Makefile.lib defines SYMBOL_PREFIX on the commandline if
   CONFIG_SYMBOL_PREFIX is set, so that we have a non-string version
   for pasting.

(arch/h8300/include/asm/linkage.h defines SYMBOL_NAME(), too).

Let's solve this properly:
1) No more generic prefix, just CONFIG_HAVE_UNDERSCORE_SYMBOL_PREFIX.
2) Make linux/export.h usable from asm.
3) Define VMLINUX_SYMBOL() and VMLINUX_SYMBOL_STR().
4) Make everyone use them.

Linus Torvalds 54d46ea993 Merge branch 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/viro/signal
Pull signal handling cleanups from Al Viro:
 "sigaltstack infrastructure + conversion for x86, alpha and um,
  COMPAT_SYSCALL_DEFINE infrastructure.

  Note that there are several conflicts between "unify
  SS_ONSTACK/SS_DISABLE definitions" and UAPI patches in mainline;
  resolution is trivial - just remove definitions of SS_ONSTACK and
  SS_DISABLED from arch/*/uapi/asm/signal.h; they are all identical and
  include/uapi/linux/signal.h contains the unified variant."

Fixed up conflicts as per Al.

* 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/viro/signal:
  alpha: switch to generic sigaltstack
  new helpers: __save_altstack/__compat_save_altstack, switch x86 and um to those
  generic compat_sys_sigaltstack()
  introduce generic sys_sigaltstack(), switch x86 and um to it
  new helper: compat_user_stack_pointer()
  new helper: restore_altstack()
  unify SS_ONSTACK/SS_DISABLE definitions
  new helper: current_user_stack_pointer()
  missing user_stack_pointer() instances
  Bury the conditionals from kernel_thread/kernel_execve series

Al Viro ae903caae2 Bury the conditionals from kernel_thread/kernel_execve series
All architectures have
	CONFIG_GENERIC_KERNEL_THREAD
	CONFIG_GENERIC_KERNEL_EXECVE
	__ARCH_WANT_SYS_EXECVE
None of them have __ARCH_WANT_KERNEL_EXECVE and there are only two callers
of kernel_execve() (which is a trivial wrapper for do_execve() now) left.
Kill the conditionals and make both callers use do_execve().

Fengguang Wu d95bfe464b h8300: select generic atomic64_t support
Rationales from Eric:

So I just looked a little deeper and it appears architectures that do
not support atomic64_t are broken.

The generic atomic64 support came in 2009 to support the perf subsystem
with the expectation that all architectures would implement atomic64
support.

Furthermore upon inspection of the kernel atomic64_t is used in a fair
number of places beyond the performance counters:

block/blk-cgroup.c
drivers/acpi/apei/
drivers/block/rbd.c
drivers/crypto/nx/nx.h
drivers/gpu/drm/radeon/radeon.h
drivers/infiniband/hw/ipath/
drivers/infiniband/hw/qib/
drivers/staging/octeon/
fs/xfs/
include/linux/perf_event.h
include/net/netfilter/nf_conntrack_acct.h
kernel/events/
kernel/trace/
net/mac80211/key.h
net/rds/

The block control group, infiniband, xfs, crypto, 802.11, netfilter.
Nothing quite so fundamental as fs/namespace.c but definitely in
multiplatform-code that should work, and is already broken on those
architecutres.

Looking at the implementation of atomic64_add_return in lib/atomic64.c the
code looks as efficient as these kinds of things get.

Which leads me to the conclusion that we need atomic64 support on all
architectures.
