<id>urn:sha1:fff7fb0b2d908dec779783d8eaf3d7725230f75e</id>

The binary GCD algorithm is based on the following facts:
	1. If a and b are all evens, then gcd(a,b) = 2 * gcd(a/2, b/2)
	2. If a is even and b is odd, then gcd(a,b) = gcd(a/2, b)
	3. If a and b are all odds, then gcd(a,b) = gcd((a-b)/2, b) = gcd((a+b)/2, b)

Even on x86 machines with reasonable division hardware, the binary
algorithm runs about 25% faster (80% the execution time) than the
division-based Euclidian algorithm.

On platforms like Alpha and ARMv6 where division is a function call to
emulation code, it's even more significant.

There are two variants of the code here, depending on whether a fast
__ffs (find least significant set bit) instruction is available.  This
allows the unpredictable branches in the bit-at-a-time shifting loop to
be eliminated.

If fast __ffs is not available, the "even/odd" GCD variant is used.

I use the following code to benchmark:

	#include &lt;stdio.h&gt;
	#include &lt;stdlib.h&gt;
	#include &lt;stdint.h&gt;

<title>printk/nmi: generic solution for safe printk in NMI</title>
<updated>2016-05-21T00:58:30Z</updated>
<author>
<name>Petr Mladek</name>

<link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='https://git.0xinfinity.dev/distro/kernel.git/commit/?id=42a0bb3f71383b457a7db362f1c69e7afb96732b'/>
<id>urn:sha1:42a0bb3f71383b457a7db362f1c69e7afb96732b</id>
<content type='text'>
printk() takes some locks and could not be used a safe way in NMI
context.

The chance of a deadlock is real especially when printing stacks from
all CPUs.  This particular problem has been addressed on x86 by the
commit a9edc8809328 ("x86/nmi: Perform a safe NMI stack trace on all
CPUs").

The patchset brings two big advantages.  First, it makes the NMI
backtraces safe on all architectures for free.  Second, it makes all NMI
messages almost safe on all architectures (the temporary buffer is
limited.  We still should keep the number of messages in NMI context at
minimum).

Note that there already are several messages printed in NMI context:
WARN_ON(in_nmi()), BUG_ON(in_nmi()), anything being printed out from MCE
handlers.  These are not easy to avoid.

This patch reuses most of the code and makes it generic.  It is useful
for all messages and architectures that support NMI.

The alternative printk_func is set when entering and is reseted when
leaving NMI context.  It queues IRQ work to copy the messages into the
main ring buffer in a safe context.

__printk_nmi_flush() copies all available messages and reset the buffer.
Then we could use a simple cmpxchg operations to get synchronized with
writers.  There is also used a spinlock to get synchronized with other
flushers.

We do not longer use seq_buf because it depends on external lock.  It
would be hard to make all supported operations safe for a lockless use.
It would be confusing and error prone to make only some operations safe.

The code is put into separate printk/nmi.c as suggested by Steven
Rostedt.  It needs a per-CPU buffer and is compiled only on
architectures that call nmi_enter().  This is achieved by the new
HAVE_NMI Kconfig flag.

The are MN10300 and Xtensa architectures.  We need to clean up NMI
handling there first.  Let's do it separately.

The patch is heavily based on the draft from Peter Zijlstra, see

Define HAVE_EXIT_THREAD for archs which want to do something in
exit_thread. For others, let's define exit_thread as an empty inline.

This is a cleanup before we change the prototype of exit_thread to
accept a task parameter.

Pull GPIO updates from Linus Walleij:
 "This is the bulk of GPIO changes for kernel cycle v4.7:

  Core infrastructural changes:

   - Support for natively single-ended GPIO driver stages.

     This means that if the hardware has registers to configure open
     drain or open source configuration, we use that rather than (as we
     did before) try to emulate it by switching the line to an input to
     get high impedance.

     This is also documented throughly in Documentation/gpio/driver.txt
     for those of you who did not understand one word of what I just
     wrote.

   - Start to do away with the unnecessarily complex and unitelligible
     ARCH_REQUIRE_GPIOLIB and ARCH_WANT_OPTIONAL_GPIOLIB, another
     evolutional artifact from the time when the GPIO subsystem was
     unmaintained.

     Archs can now just select GPIOLIB and be done with it, cleanups to
     arches will trickle in for the next kernel.  Some minor archs ACKed
     the changes immediately so these are included in this pull request.

   - Advancing the use of the data pointer inside the GPIO device for
     storing driver data by switching the PowerPC, Super-H Unicore and
     a few other subarches or subsystem drivers in ALSA SoC, Input,
     serial, SSB, staging etc to use it.

   - The initialization now reads the input/output state of the GPIO
     lines, so that each GPIO descriptor knows - if this callback is
     implemented - whether the line is input or output.  This also
     reflects nicely in userspace "lsgpio".

   - It is now possible to name GPIO producer names, line names, from
     the device tree.  (Platform data has been supported for a while).
     I bet we will get a similar mechanism for ACPI one of those days.
     This makes is possible to get sensible producer names for e.g.
     GPIO rails in "lsgpio" in userspace.

  New drivers:

   - New driver for the Loongson1.

   - The XLP driver now supports Broadcom Vulcan ARM64.

   - The IT87 driver now supports IT8620 and IT8628.

   - The PCA953X driver now supports Galileo Gen2.

  Driver improvements:

   - MCP23S08 was switched to use the gpiolib irqchip helpers and now
     also suppors level-triggered interrupts.

   - 74x164 and RCAR now supports the .set_multiple() callback

   - AMDPT was converted to use generic GPIO.

   - TC3589x, TPS65218, SX150X, F7188X, MENZ127, VX855, WM831X, WM8994
     support the new single ended callback for open drain and in some
     cases open source.

   - Implement the .get_direction() callback for a few more drivers like
     PL061, Xgene.

  Cleanups:

   - Paul Gortmaker combed through the drivers and de-modularized those
     who are not really modules.

   - Move the GPIO poweroff DT bindings to the power subdir where they
     belong.

   - Rename gpio-generic.c to gpio-mmio.c, which is much more to the
     point.  That's what it is handling, nothing more, nothing less"

<content type='text'>
Split the HAVE_BPF_JIT into two for distinguishing cBPF and eBPF JITs.

Current cBPF ones:

  # git grep -n HAVE_CBPF_JIT arch/
  arch/arm/Kconfig:44:    select HAVE_CBPF_JIT
  arch/mips/Kconfig:18:   select HAVE_CBPF_JIT if !CPU_MICROMIPS
  arch/powerpc/Kconfig:129:       select HAVE_CBPF_JIT
  arch/sparc/Kconfig:35:  select HAVE_CBPF_JIT

Current eBPF ones:

  # git grep -n HAVE_EBPF_JIT arch/
  arch/arm64/Kconfig:61:  select HAVE_EBPF_JIT
  arch/s390/Kconfig:126:  select HAVE_EBPF_JIT if PACK_STACK &amp;&amp; HAVE_MARCH_Z196_FEATURES
  arch/x86/Kconfig:94:    select HAVE_EBPF_JIT                    if X86_64

Later code also needs this facility to check for eBPF JITs.

This symbols is not needed to get access to selecting the
GPIOLIB anymore: any arch can select GPIOLIB.

Move the generic implementation to &lt;linux/dma-mapping.h&gt; now that all
architectures support it and remove the HAVE_DMA_ATTR Kconfig symbol now
that everyone supports them.

<title>Kconfig: remove HAVE_LATENCYTOP_SUPPORT</title>

<id>urn:sha1:da48d094ce5d7c7dcdad9011648a81c42fd1c2ef</id>
<content type='text'>
As illustrated by commit a3afe70b83fd ("[S390] latencytop s390
support."), HAVE_LATENCYTOP_SUPPORT is defined by an architecture to
advertise an implementation of save_stack_trace_tsk.

However, as of 9212ddb5eada ("stacktrace: provide save_stack_trace_tsk()
weak alias") a dummy implementation is provided if STACKTRACE=y.  Given
that LATENCYTOP already depends on STACKTRACE_SUPPORT and selects
STACKTRACE, we can remove HAVE_LATENCYTOP_SUPPORT altogether.

<title>sparc: time: Replace update_persistent_clock() with CONFIG_RTC_SYSTOHC</title>

<id>urn:sha1:460ea8d70db1ffd9a5d6996c240c34458473334f</id>
<content type='text'>
On Sparc systems, update_persistent_clock() uses RTC drivers to do
the job, it makes more sense to hand it over to CONFIG_RTC_SYSTOHC.

In the long run, all the update_persistent_clock() should migrate to
proper class RTC drivers if any and use CONFIG_RTC_SYSTOHC instead.

We would want to use number of page table level to define mm_struct.
Let's expose it as CONFIG_PGTABLE_LEVELS.
