atomic: cleanup asm-generic atomic*.h inclusion

2011-07-26T23:49:47+00:00

After changing all consumers of atomics to include , we
ran into some compile time errors due to this dependency chain:

linux/atomic.h
  -> asm/atomic.h
    -> asm-generic/atomic-long.h

where atomic-long.h could use funcs defined later in linux/atomic.h
without a prototype.  This patches moves the code that includes
asm-generic/atomic*.h to linux/atomic.h.

Archs that need  need to select
CONFIG_GENERIC_ATOMIC64 from now on (some of them used to include it
unconditionally).

Compile tested on i386 and x86_64 with allnoconfig.

atomic: move atomic_add_unless to generic code

2011-07-26T23:49:47+00:00

This is in preparation for more generic atomic primitives based on
__atomic_add_unless.

MIPS: Get rid of branches to .subsections.

2010-10-29T18:08:24+00:00

It was a nice optimization - on paper at least.  In practice it results in
branches that may exceed the maximum legal range for a branch.  We can
fight that problem with -ffunction-sections but -ffunction-sections again
is incompatible with -pg used by the function tracer.

By rewriting the loop around all simple LL/SC blocks to C we reduce the
amount of inline assembler and at the same time allow GCC to often fill
the branch delay slots with something sensible or whatever else clever
optimization it may have up in its sleeve.

With this optimization gone we also no longer need -ffunction-sections,
so drop it.

This optimization was originally introduced in 2.6.21, commit
5999eca25c1fd4b9b9aca7833b04d10fe4bc877d (linux-mips.org) rsp.
f65e4fa8e0c6022ad58dc88d1b11b12589ed7f9f (kernel.org).

Original fix for the issues which caused me to pull this optimization by
Paul Gortmaker .

MIPS: Use generic atomic64 for 32-bit kernels

2010-10-04T17:33:54+00:00

The 64-bit kernel has already had its atomic64 functions. Except for that,
we use the generic spinlocked version. The atomic64 types and related
functions are needed for the Linux performance counter subsystem.

For 64-bit, we must use DADDU and DSUBU.

MIPS: New macro smp_mb__before_llsc.

2010-02-27T11:53:06+00:00

Replace some instances of smp_llsc_mb() with a new macro
smp_mb__before_llsc().  It is used before ll/sc sequences that are
documented as needing write barrier semantics.

The default implementation of smp_mb__before_llsc() is just smp_llsc_mb(),
so there are no changes in semantics.

Also simplify definition of smp_mb(), smp_rmb(), and smp_wmb() to be just
barrier() in the non-SMP case.
