Increase the number of lws locks to 256 entries (instead of 16) and choose lock entry based on bits 3-11 (instead of 4-7) of the relevant address. With this change we archieve more fine-grained locking in futex syscalls and thus reduce the number of possible stalls.

This reverts commit 9e5c602186a692a7e848c0da17aed40f49d30519. No need to use the ldcw instruction as SMP spinlock release barrier. Revert it to gain back speed again. Signed-off-by: Helge Deller <deller@gmx.de> Cc: <stable@vger.kernel.org> # v5.2+
This reverts commit e6eb5fe9123f05dcbf339ae5c0b6d32fcc0685d5. We need to optimize it differently. A follow up patch will correct it. Signed-off-by: Helge Deller <deller@gmx.de> Cc: <stable@vger.kernel.org> # v5.2+
The __SYSCALL macro's arguments are system call number, system call entry name and number of arguments for the system call. Argument- nargs in __SYSCALL(nr, entry, nargs) is neither calculated nor used anywhere. So it would be better to keep the implementaion as __SYSCALL(nr, entry). This will unifies the implementation with some other architetures too. Signed-off-by: Firoz Khan <firoz.khan@linaro.org> Signed-off-by: Helge Deller <deller@gmx.de>
When running an SMP kernel on a single-CPU machine, we can speed up the CAS code by replacing the LDCW sync barrier with NOP. Signed-off-by: Helge Deller <deller@gmx.de>
LEVEL is a very common word, and now after many years it suddenly clashed with another LEVEL define in the DRBD code. Rename it to PA_ASM_LEVEL instead. Reported-by: kbuild test robot <lkp@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Helge Deller <deller@gmx.de> Cc: <stable@vger.kernel.org>
There are only a couple of instructions that can function as a memory barrier on parisc. Currently, we use the sync instruction as a memory barrier when releasing a spinlock. However, the ldcw instruction is a better barrier when we have a handy memory location since it operates in the cache on coherent machines. This patch updates the spinlock release code to use ldcw. I also changed the "stw,ma" instructions to "stw" instructions as it is not an adequate barrier. Signed-off-by: John David Anglin <dave.anglin@bell.net> Signed-off-by: Helge Deller <deller@gmx.de>
System call table generation script must be run to gener- ate unistd_32/64.h and syscall_table_32/64/c32.h files. This patch will have changes which will invokes the script. This patch will generate unistd_32/64.h and syscall_table- _32/64/c32.h files by the syscall table generation script invoked by parisc/Makefile and the generated files against the removed files must be identical. The generated uapi header file will be included in uapi/- asm/unistd.h and generated system call table header file will be included by kernel/syscall.S file.

This reverts commit d27dfa13b9f77ae7e6ed09d70a0426ed26c1a8f9. Unfortunately, this patch needs to be reverted. We need the full sync barrier and not the limited barrier provided by using an ordered store. The sync ensures that all accesses and cache purge instructions that follow the sync are performed after all such instructions prior the sync instruction have completed executing. The patch breaks the rwlock implementation in glibc. This caused the test-lock application in the libprelude testsuite to hang. With the change reverted, the test runs correctly and the libprelude package builds successfully. Signed-off-by: John David Anglin <dave.anglin@bell.net> Signed-off-by: Helge Deller <deller@gmx.de>
