tile: properly use node_isset() on a nodemask_t

2015-04-28T14:36:45+00:00

The code accidentally used cpu_isset() previously in one place
(though properly node_isset() elsewhere).

Pull final removal of deprecated cpus_* cpumask functions from Rusty Russell:
 "This is the final removal (after several years!) of the obsolete
  cpus_* functions, prompted by their mis-use in staging.

  With these function removed, all cpu functions should only iterate to
  nr_cpu_ids, so we finally only allocate that many bits when cpumasks
  are allocated offstack"

tile: nohz: warn if nohz_full uses hypervisor shared cores

2015-04-17T18:01:41+00:00

The "hypervisor shared" cores are ones that the Tilera hypervisor
uses to receive interrupts to manage hypervisor-owned devices.
It's a bad idea to try to use those cores with nohz_full, since
they will get interrupted unpredictably -- and invisibly to Linux
tracing tools, since the interrupts are delivered at a higher
privilege level to the Tilera hypervisor.

Generate a clear warning at boot up that this doesn't end well
for the nohz_full cores in question.

tile: use %*pb[l] to print bitmaps including cpumasks and nodemasks

2015-02-14T05:21:37+00:00

printk and friends can now format bitmaps using '%*pb[l]'.  cpumask
and nodemask also provide cpumask_pr_args() and nodemask_pr_args()
respectively which can be used to generate the two printf arguments
necessary to format the specified cpu/nodemask.

tile: Replace __get_cpu_var uses

2014-08-26T17:45:54+00:00

__get_cpu_var() is used for multiple purposes in the kernel source. One of
them is address calculation via the form &__get_cpu_var(x).  This calculates
the address for the instance of the percpu variable of the current processor
based on an offset.

Other use cases are for storing and retrieving data from the current
processors percpu area.  __get_cpu_var() can be used as an lvalue when
writing data or on the right side of an assignment.

__get_cpu_var() is defined as :

#define __get_cpu_var(var) (*this_cpu_ptr(&(var)))

__get_cpu_var() always only does an address determination. However, store
and retrieve operations could use a segment prefix (or global register on
other platforms) to avoid the address calculation.

this_cpu_write() and this_cpu_read() can directly take an offset into a
percpu area and use optimized assembly code to read and write per cpu
variables.

This patch converts __get_cpu_var into either an explicit address
calculation using this_cpu_ptr() or into a use of this_cpu operations that
use the offset.  Thereby address calculations are avoided and less registers
are used when code is generated.

At the end of the patch set all uses of __get_cpu_var have been removed so
the macro is removed too.

The patch set includes passes over all arches as well. Once these operations
are used throughout then specialized macros can be defined in non -x86
arches as well in order to optimize per cpu access by f.e.  using a global
register that may be set to the per cpu base.

Transformations done to __get_cpu_var()

1. Determine the address of the percpu instance of the current processor.

	DEFINE_PER_CPU(int, y);
	int *x = &__get_cpu_var(y);

    Converts to

	int *x = this_cpu_ptr(&y);

2. Same as #1 but this time an array structure is involved.

	DEFINE_PER_CPU(int, y[20]);
	int *x = __get_cpu_var(y);

    Converts to

	int *x = this_cpu_ptr(y);

3. Retrieve the content of the current processors instance of a per cpu
variable.

	DEFINE_PER_CPU(int, y);
	int x = __get_cpu_var(y)

   Converts to

	int x = __this_cpu_read(y);

4. Retrieve the content of a percpu struct

	DEFINE_PER_CPU(struct mystruct, y);
	struct mystruct x = __get_cpu_var(y);

   Converts to

	memcpy(&x, this_cpu_ptr(&y), sizeof(x));

5. Assignment to a per cpu variable

	DEFINE_PER_CPU(int, y)
	__get_cpu_var(y) = x;

   Converts to

	__this_cpu_write(y, x);

6. Increment/Decrement etc of a per cpu variable

	DEFINE_PER_CPU(int, y);
	__get_cpu_var(y)++

   Converts to

	__this_cpu_inc(y)
