x86, boot: Carve out early cmdline parsing function

2014-05-21T03:21:24Z

Carve out early cmdline parsing function into .../lib/cmdline.c so it can be used by early code in the kernel proper as well. Adapted from arch/x86/boot/cmdline.c.

lib: introduce arch optimized hash library

2013-12-17T19:27:17Z

We introduce a new hashing library that is meant to be used in the contexts where speed is more important than uniformity of the hashed values. The hash library leverages architecture specific implementation to achieve high performance and fall backs to jhash() for the generic case. On Intel-based x86 architectures, the library can exploit the crc32l instruction, part of the Intel SSE4.2 instruction set, if the instruction is supported by the processor. This implementation is twice as fast as the jhash() implementation on an i7 processor. Additional architectures, such as Arm64 provide instructions for accelerating the computation of CRC, so they could be added as well in follow-up work.

x86: Improve the printout of the SMP bootup CPU table

2013-09-28T08:10:26Z

As the new x86 CPU bootup printout format code maintainer, I am taking immediate action to improve and clean (and thus indulge my OCD) the reporting of the cores when coming up online. Fix padding to a right-hand alignment, cleanup code and bind reporting width to the max number of supported CPUs on the system, like this: [ 0.074509] smpboot: Booting Node 0, Processors: #1 #2 #3 #4 #5 #6 #7 OK [ 0.644008] smpboot: Booting Node 1, Processors: #8 #9 #10 #11 #12 #13 #14 #15 OK [ 1.245006] smpboot: Booting Node 2, Processors: #16 #17 #18 #19 #20 #21 #22 #23 OK [ 1.864005] smpboot: Booting Node 3, Processors: #24 #25 #26 #27 #28 #29 #30 #31 OK [ 2.489005] smpboot: Booting Node 4, Processors: #32 #33 #34 #35 #36 #37 #38 #39 OK [ 3.093005] smpboot: Booting Node 5, Processors: #40 #41 #42 #43 #44 #45 #46 #47 OK [ 3.698005] smpboot: Booting Node 6, Processors: #48 #49 #50 #51 #52 #53 #54 #55 OK [ 4.304005] smpboot: Booting Node 7, Processors: #56 #57 #58 #59 #60 #61 #62 #63 OK [ 4.961413] Brought up 64 CPUs and this: [ 0.072367] smpboot: Booting Node 0, Processors: #1 #2 #3 #4 #5 #6 #7 OK [ 0.686329] Brought up 8 CPUs Signed-off-by: Borislav Petkov Cc: Libin Cc: wangyijing@huawei.com Cc: fenghua.yu@intel.com Cc: guohanjun@huawei.com Cc: paul.gortmaker@windriver.com Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20130927143554.GF4422@pd.tnic Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar

x86: Unify rwsem assembly implementation
