  • Since the NV24 framebuffer has a CbCr plane that is twice as wide
    as the Y plane, it needs to be handled as a special case.

  • Based on the patch by Takanari Hayama

    Adds support framework necessary to use Media RAM (MERAM)
    caching functionality with the LCDC. The MERAM is accessed
    through up to 4 Interconnect Buffers (ICBs).

    ICB numbers and MERAM address ranges to use are specified in
    by filling in the .meram_cfg member of the LCDC platform data

  • Commit e66eed651fd1 ("list: remove prefetching from regular list
    iterators") removed the include of prefetch.h from list.h and this was a
    path to including asm/processor.h. We need to include it excplicitly
    now.

    Fixes this build error on sparc32 (at least):

  • Commit e66eed651fd1 ("list: remove prefetching from regular list
    iterators") removed the include of prefetch.h from list.h, which
    uncovered several cases that had apparently relied on that rather
    obscure header file dependency.

    So this fixes things up a bit, using

    grep -L linux/prefetch.h $(git grep -l '[^a-z_]prefetchw*(' -- '*.[ch]')
    grep -L 'prefetchw*(' $(git grep -l 'linux/prefetch.h' -- '*.[ch]')

    to guide us in finding files that either need
    inclusion, or have it despite not needing it.

    There are more of them around (mostly network drivers), but this gets
    many core ones.

  • When one macvlan device is dismantled, we can avoid one
    synchronize_rcu() call done after deletion from hash list, since caller
    will perform a synchronize_net() call after its ndo_stop() call.

    Add a new netdev->dismantle field to signal this dismantle intent.

    Reduces RTNL hold time.

  • This fixes these build errors on powerpc:

    In file included from arch/powerpc/mm/fault.c:18:
    include/linux/signal.h:239: error: 'struct task_struct' declared inside parameter list
    include/linux/signal.h:239: error: its scope is only this definition or declaration, which is probably not what you want
    include/linux/signal.h:240: error: 'struct task_struct' declared inside parameter list
    ..

    Exposed by commit e66eed651fd1 ("list: remove prefetching from regular
    list iterators"), which removed the include of from
    .

    Without that, linux/signal.h no longer accidentally got the declaration
    of 'struct task_struct'.

    Fix by properly declaring the struct, rather than introducing any new
    header file dependency.

  • This is removes the use of software prefetching from the regular list
    iterators. We don't want it. If you do want to prefetch in some
    iterator of yours, go right ahead. Just don't expect the iterator to do
    it, since normally the downsides are bigger than the upsides.

    It also replaces with , because the
    use of LIST_POISON ends up needing it. is sadly not
    self-contained, and including prefetch.h just happened to hide that.

    Suggested by David Miller (networking has a lot of regular lists that
    are often empty or a single entry, and prefetching is not going to do
    anything but add useless instructions).

  • They not only increase the code footprint, they actually make things
    slower rather than faster. On internationally acclaimed benchmarks
    ("make -j16" on an already fully built kernel source tree) the hlist
    prefetching slows down the build by up to 1%.

    (Almost all of it comes from hlist_for_each_entry_rcu() as used by
    avc_has_perm_noaudit(), which is very hot due to all the pathname
    lookups to see if there is anything to do).

    The cause seems to be two-fold:

    - on at least some Intel cores, prefetch(NULL) ends up with some
    microarchitectural stall due to the TLB miss that it incurs. The
    hlist case triggers this very commonly, since the NULL pointer is the
    last entry in the list.

    - the prefetch appears to cause more D$ activity, probably because it
    prefetches hash list entries that are never actually used (because we
    ended the search early due to a hit).

    Regardless, the numbers clearly say that the implicit prefetching is
    simply a bad idea. If some _particular_ user of the hlist iterators
    wants to prefetch the next list entry, they can do so themselves
    explicitly, rather than depend on all list iterators doing so
    implicitly.

  • ipv6 has per device ICMP SNMP counters, taking too much space because
    they use percpu storage.

    needed size per device is :
    (512+4)*sizeof(long)*number_of_possible_cpus*2

    On a 32bit kernel, 16 possible cpus, this wastes more than 64kbytes of
    memory per ipv6 enabled network device, taken in vmalloc pool.

    Since ICMP messages are rare, just use shared counters (atomic_long_t)

    Per network space ICMP counters are still using percpu memory, we might
    also convert them to shared counters in a future patch.
