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.

* There is no point in having full "0...9a...z" constant vector,

* 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).

isapnp: remove pointless check of 'type' against 0 in isapnp_read_tag()
In drivers/pnp/isapnp/core.c::isapnp_read_tag() there is a test of 'type'
being == 0 a bit down in the function. That test doesn't make any sense.
If 'type' could indeed be NULL, then the test happens way too late as we'd
already have tried to dereference the pointer earlier and looking at the
callers it also turns out that there is no way type can ever actually be
NULL.
So the test is completely pointless and should just be removed.

kernel/printk.c: document possible deadlock against scheduler
The printk's comment states that it can be called from every context,
which might lead to false illusion that it could be called from everywhere
without any restrictions.
This is however not true - a call to printk() could deadlock if called from
scheduler code (namely from schedule(), wake_up(), etc) on runqueue lock
when it tries to wake up klogd. Document this.

Change cancel_work_sync() and cancel_delayed_work_sync() to return a boolean
indicating whether the work was actually cancelled. A zero return value means
that the work was not pending/queued.
Without that kind of change it is not possible to avoid flush_workqueue()
sometimes, see the next patch as an example.
Also, this patch unifies both functions and kills the (unlikely) busy-wait
loop.
This looks as if the first 2 functions differ in "type" of their argument
which is not true any longer, nowadays the difference is the behaviour.
The semantics of cancel_rearming_delayed_work(dwork) was changed
significantly, it doesn't require that dwork rearms itself, and cancels dwork
synchronously.
Rename it to cancel_delayed_work_sync(). This matches cancel_delayed_work()
and cancel_work_sync(). Re-create cancel_rearming_delayed_work() as a simple
inline obsolete wrapper, like cancel_rearming_delayed_workqueue().
The UMSDOS filesystem was removed back in 2.6.11, but some tiny bits stuck
around. This patch removes the few remaining leftovers. The only things
left behind after this are the entries in the CREDITS file and the ioctl
number in Documentation/ioctl-number.txt as documentation.
This third (hopefully final) version of the patch doesn't edit the
arch/um/config.release file, since Jeff Dike pointed out to me that it
should die completely, and asked me to remove it from my patch as he'll
send in a seperate patch removing the file completely.

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():

This makes builds fail sooner if something is implicitly defined instead
of having to wait half an hour for it to fail at the linking stage.

parport_pc: it887x fix
The IO port range requested by parport_pc.c:sio_ite_8872_probe is too small.
The IO-ports of ttyS1 (0x2f8) will be missconfigured by the ITE-chip. The ITE
starts looking for the chip a 0x2a0. An IO-portrange of 32 will not overwrite
the ports of ttyS1. Therefore register 0x60 should be written with
0xe5000000, enabling the ITE and setting IO-portsize to 32 bytes.

make seccomp zerocost in schedule
This follows a suggestion from Chuck Ebbert on how to make seccomp
absolutely zerocost in schedule too. The only remaining footprint of
seccomp is in terms of the bzImage size that becomes a few bytes (perhaps
even a few kbytes) larger, measure it if you care in the embedded.

move seccomp from /proc to a prctl
This reduces the memory footprint and it enforces that only the current
task can enable seccomp on itself (this is a requirement for a
strightforward [modulo preempt ;) ] TIF_NOTSC implementation).

HFS+: add custom dentry hash and comparison operations
Add custom dentry hash and comparison operations for HFS+ filesystems that are
case-insensitive and/or do automatic unicode decomposition. The new
operations reuse the existing HFS+ ASCII to unicode conversion, unicode
decomposition and case folding functionality.

HFS+: refactor ASCII to unicode conversion routine for later reuse
The HFS+ filesystem is case-insensitive and does automatic unicode
decomposition by default, but does not provide custom dentry operations. This
can lead to multiple dentries being cached for lookups on a filename with
varying case and/or character (de)composition.
These patches add custom dentry hash and comparison operations for
case-sensitive and/or automatically decomposing HFS+ filesystems. Unicode
decomposition and case-folding are performed as required to ensure equivalent
filenames are hashed to the same values and compare as equal.
This patch:
Refactor existing HFS+ ASCII to unicode string conversion routine to split out
character conversion functionality. This will be reused by the custom dentry
hash and comparison routines. This approach avoids unnecessary memory
allocation compared to using the string conversion routine directly in the new
functions.

In ext4_new_blocks(), one of two ext4_block_bitmap() calls should be
ext4_inode_bitmap() call. It is not harmful in normal processing, but it
should be fixed.
