locking: remove spin_lock_prefetch

2023-08-12T16:18:47+00:00

The only remaining consumer is new_inode, where it showed up in 2001 as
commit c37fa164f793 ("v2.4.9.9 -> v2.4.9.10") in a historical repo [1]
with a changelog which does not mention it.

Since then the line got only touched up to keep compiling.

While it may have been of benefit back in the day, it is guaranteed to
at best not get in the way in the multicore setting -- as the code
performs *a lot* of work between the prefetch and actual lock acquire,
any contention means the cacheline is already invalid by the time the
routine calls spin_lock().  It adds spurious traffic, for short.

On top of it prefetch is notoriously tricky to use for single-threaded
purposes, making it questionable from the get go.

As such, remove it.

I admit upfront I did not see value in benchmarking this change, but I
can do it if that is deemed appropriate.

Removal from new_inode and of the entire thing are in the same patch as
requested by Linus, so whatever weird looks can be directed at that guy.

arch//configs/defconfig: Replace AUTOFS4_FS by AUTOFS_FS

2023-07-29T21:08:22+00:00

Commit a2225d931f75 ("autofs: remove left-over autofs4 stubs")
promised the removal of the fs/autofs/Kconfig fragment for AUTOFS4_FS
within a couple of releases, but five years later this still has not
happened yet, and AUTOFS4_FS is still enabled in 63 defconfigs.

Get rid of it mechanically:

   git grep -l CONFIG_AUTOFS4_FS -- '*defconfig' |
       xargs sed -i 's/AUTOFS4_FS/AUTOFS_FS/'

Also just remove the AUTOFS4_FS config option stub.  Anybody who hasn't
regenerated their config file in the last five years will need to just
get the new name right when they do.

MIPS: Loongson: Fix build error when make modules_install

2023-07-03T14:06:36+00:00

After commit 0e96ea5c3eb5904e5dc2f ("MIPS: Loongson64: Clean up use of
cc-ifversion") we get a build error when make modules_install:

cc1: error: '-mloongson-mmi' must be used with '-mhard-float'

The reason is when make modules_install, 'call cc-option' doesn't work
in $(KBUILD_CFLAGS) of 'CHECKFLAGS'. Then there is no -mno-loongson-mmi
applied and -march=loongson3a enable MMI instructions.

To be detail, the error message comes from the CHECKFLAGS invocation of
$(CC) but it has no impact on the final result of make modules_install,
it is purely a cosmetic issue. The error occurs because cc-option is
defined in scripts/Makefile.compiler, which is not included in Makefile
when running 'make modules_install', as install targets are not supposed
to require the compiler; see commit 805b2e1d427aab4b ("kbuild: include
Makefile.compiler only when compiler is needed"). As a result, the call
to check for '-mno-loongson-mmi' just never happens.

Fix this by partially reverting to the old logic, use 'call cc-option'
to conditionally apply -march=loongson3a and -march=mips64r2.

By the way, Loongson-2E/2F is also broken in commit 13ceb48bc19c563e05f4
("MIPS: Loongson2ef: Remove unnecessary {as,cc}-option calls") so fix it
together.

MIPS: Loongson: Fix cpu_probe_loongson() again

2023-07-03T14:05:51+00:00

Commit 7db5e9e9e5e6c10d7d ("MIPS: loongson64: fix FTLB configuration")
move decode_configs() from the beginning of cpu_probe_loongson() to the
end in order to fix FTLB configuration. However, it breaks the CPUCFG
decoding because decode_configs() use "c->options = xxxx" rather than
"c->options |= xxxx", all information get from CPUCFG by decode_cpucfg()
is lost.

This causes error when creating a KVM guest on Loongson-3A4000:
Exception Code: 4 not handled @ PC: 0000000087ad5981, inst: 0xcb7a1898 BadVaddr: 0x0 Status: 0x0

Fix this by moving the c->cputype setting to the beginning and moving
decode_configs() after that.
