kbuild: remove redundant target cleaning on failure

2019-01-06T00:46:51+00:00

Since commit 9c2af1c7377a ("kbuild: add .DELETE_ON_ERROR special target"), the target file is automatically deleted on failure. The boilerplate code ... || { rm -f $@; false; } is unneeded. Signed-off-by: Masahiro Yamada

jump_label: move 'asm goto' support test to Kconfig

2019-01-06T00:46:51+00:00

Currently, CONFIG_JUMP_LABEL just means "I _want_ to use jump label". The jump label is controlled by HAVE_JUMP_LABEL, which is defined like this: #if defined(CC_HAVE_ASM_GOTO) && defined(CONFIG_JUMP_LABEL) # define HAVE_JUMP_LABEL #endif We can improve this by testing 'asm goto' support in Kconfig, then make JUMP_LABEL depend on CC_HAS_ASM_GOTO. Ugly #ifdef HAVE_JUMP_LABEL will go away, and CONFIG_JUMP_LABEL will match to the real kernel capability. Signed-off-by: Masahiro Yamada Acked-by: Michael Ellerman (powerpc) Tested-by: Sedat Dilek

lib/genalloc.c: use vzalloc_node() to allocate the bitmap

2019-01-04T21:13:46+00:00

Some devices may have big memory on chip, such as over 1G. In some cases, the nbytes maybe bigger then 4M which is the bounday of the memory buddy system (4K default). So use vzalloc_node() to allocate the bitmap. Also use vfree to free it.

lib/find_bit_benchmark.c: align test_find_next_and_bit with others

2019-01-04T21:13:46+00:00

Contrary to other tests, test_find_next_and_bit() test uses tab formatting in output and get_cycles() instead of ktime_get(). get_cycles() is not supported by some arches, so ktime_get() fits better in generic code. Fix it and minor style issues, so the output looks like this: Start testing find_bit() with random-filled bitmap find_next_bit: 7142816 ns, 163282 iterations find_next_zero_bit: 8545712 ns, 164399 iterations find_last_bit: 6332032 ns, 163282 iterations find_first_bit: 20509424 ns, 16606 iterations find_next_and_bit: 4060016 ns, 73424 iterations Start testing find_bit() with sparse bitmap find_next_bit: 55984 ns, 656 iterations find_next_zero_bit: 19197536 ns, 327025 iterations find_last_bit: 65088 ns, 656 iterations find_first_bit: 5923712 ns, 656 iterations find_next_and_bit: 29088 ns, 1 iterations Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20181123174803.10916-1-ynorov@caviumnetworks.com Signed-off-by: Yury Norov Reviewed-by: Andrew Morton Cc: "Norov, Yuri" Cc: Clement Courbet Cc: Geert Uytterhoeven Cc: Alexey Dobriyan Cc: Matthew Wilcox Cc: Rasmus Villemoes Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

lib/genalloc.c: fix allocation of aligned buffer from non-aligned chunk

2019-01-04T21:13:46+00:00

gen_pool_alloc_algo() uses different allocation functions implementing different allocation algorithms. With gen_pool_first_fit_align() allocation function, the returned address should be aligned on the requested boundary. If chunk start address isn't aligned on the requested boundary, the returned address isn't aligned too. The only way to get properly aligned address is to initialize the pool with chunks aligned on the requested boundary. If want to have an ability to allocate buffers aligned on different boundaries (for example, 4K, 1MB, ...), the chunk start address should be aligned on the max possible alignment. This happens because gen_pool_first_fit_align() looks for properly aligned memory block without taking into account the chunk start address alignment. To fix this, we provide chunk start address to gen_pool_first_fit_align() and change its implementation such that it starts looking for properly aligned block with appropriate offset (exactly as is done in CMA).
