Slab destructors were no longer supported after Christoph's
c59def9f222d44bb7e2f0a559f2906191a0862d7 change. They've been
BUGs for both slab and slub, and slob never supported them
either.This rips out support for the dtor pointer from kmem_cache_create()
completely and fixes up every single callsite in the kernel (there were
about 224, not including the slab allocator definitions themselves,
or the documentation references).Signed-off-by: Paul Mundt

Introduce the core lock statistics code.
Lock statistics provides lock wait-time and hold-time (as well as the count
of corresponding contention and acquisitions events). Also, the first few
call-sites that encounter contention are tracked.Lock wait-time is the time spent waiting on the lock. This provides insight
into the locking scheme, that is, a heavily contended lock is indicative of
a too coarse locking scheme.Lock hold-time is the duration the lock was held, this provides a reference for
the wait-time numbers, so they can be put into perspective.1)
lock
2)
... do stuff ..
unlock
3)The time between 1 and 2 is the wait-time. The time between 2 and 3 is the
hold-time.The lockdep held-lock tracking code is reused, because it already collects locks
into meaningful groups (classes), and because it is an existing infrastructure
for lock instrumentation.Currently lockdep tracks lock acquisition with two hooks:
lock()
lock_acquire()
_lock()... code protected by lock ...
unlock()
lock_release()
_unlock()We need to extend this with two more hooks, in order to measure contention.
lock_contended() - used to measure contention events
lock_acquired() - completion of the contentionThese are then placed the following way:
lock()
lock_acquire()
if (!_try_lock())
lock_contended()
_lock()
lock_acquired()... do locked stuff ...
unlock()
lock_release()
_unlock()(Note: the try_lock() 'trick' is used to avoid instrumenting all platform
dependent lock primitive implementations.)It is also possible to toggle the two lockdep features at runtime using:
/proc/sys/kernel/prove_locking
/proc/sys/kernel/lock_stat(esp. turning off the O(n^2) prove_locking functionaliy can help)

argv_split() is a helper function which takes a string, splits it at
whitespace, and returns a NULL-terminated argv vector. This is
deliberately simple - it does no quote processing of any kind.[ Seems to me that this is something which is already being done in

Optimize integer-to-string conversion in vsprintf.c for base 10. This is
by far the most used conversion, and in some use cases it impacts
performance. For example, top reads /proc/$PID/stat for every process, and
with 4000 processes decimal conversion alone takes noticeable time.Using code from
http://www.cs.uiowa.edu/~jones/bcd/decimal.html
(with permission from the author, Douglas W. Jones)binary-to-decimal-string conversion is done in groups of five digits at
once, using only additions/subtractions/shifts (with -O2; -Os throws in
some multiply instructions).On i386 arch gcc 4.1.2 -O2 generates ~500 bytes of code.
This patch is run tested. Userspace benchmark/test is also attached.
I tested it on PIII and AMD64 and new code is generally ~2.5 times
faster. On AMD64:# ./vsprintf_verify-O2

The current generic bug implementation has a call to dump_stack() in case a
WARN_ON(whatever) gets hit. Since report_bug(), which calls dump_stack(),
gets called from an exception handler we can do better: just pass the
pt_regs structure to report_bug() and pass it to show_regs() in case of a
warning. This will give more debug informations like register contents,
etc... In addition this avoids some pointless lines that dump_stack()
emits, since it includes a stack backtrace of the exception handler which
is of no interest in case of a warning. E.g. on s390 the following lines
are currently always present in a stack backtrace if dump_stack() gets
called from report_bug():[] show_trace+0x92/0xe8)
[] show_stack+0xa0/0xd0
[] dump_stack+0x2e/0x3c
[] report_bug+0x98/0xf8

per-cpu counters presently must iterate over all possible CPUs in the
exhaustive percpu_counter_sum().But it can be much better to only iterate over the presently-online CPUs. To
do this, we must arrange for an offlined CPU's count to be spilled into the
counter's central count.We can do this for all percpu_counters in the machine by linking them into a
single global list and walking that list at CPU_DEAD time.(I hope. Might have race windows in which the percpu_counter_sum() count is
inaccurate?)Cc: Gautham R Shenoy

Add a new configuration variable
CONFIG_SLUB_DEBUG_ON
If set then the kernel will be booted by default with slab debugging
switched on. Similar to CONFIG_SLAB_DEBUG. By default slab debugging
is available but must be enabled by specifying "slub_debug" as a
kernel parameter.Also add support to switch off slab debugging for a kernel that was
built with CONFIG_SLUB_DEBUG_ON. This works by specifyingslub_debug=-
as a kernel parameter.

and leave all idp_layers unused.A typical clean-up sequence for objects stored in an idr tree, will use

This patch adds an iterator function for the idr data structure. Compared
to just iterating through the idr with an integer and idr_find, this
iterator is (almost, but not quite) linear in the number of elements, as
opposed to the number of integers in the range covered by the idr. This
makes a difference for sparse idrs, but more importantly, it's a nicer way
to iterate through the elements.The drm subsystem is moving to idr for tracking contexts and drawables, and
with this change, we can use the idr exclusively for tracking these
resources.[akpm@linux-foundation.org: fix comment]

Implement idr based id allocator. ida is used the same way idr is
used but lacks id -> ptr translation and thus consumes much less
memory. struct ida_bitmap is attached as leaf nodes to idr tree which
is managed by the idr code. Each ida_bitmap is 128bytes long and
contains slightly less than a thousand slots.ida is more aggressive with releasing extra resources acquired using
ida_pre_get(). After every successful id allocation, ida frees one
reserved idr_layer if possible. Reserved ida_bitmap is not freed
automatically but only one ida_bitmap is reserved and it's almost
always used right away. Under most circumstances, ida won't hold on
to memory for too long which isn't actively used.Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo

In sub_alloc(), when bitmap search fails, it goes up one level to
continue search. This is done by updating the id cursor and searching
the upper level again. If the cursor was at the end of the upper
level, we need to go further than that.This wasn't implemented and when that happens the part of the cursor
which indexes into the upper level wraps and sub_alloc() ends up
searching the wrong bitmap. It allocates id which doesn't match the
actual slot.This patch fixes this by restarting from the top if the search needs
to go higher than one level.Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo

First thing mm.h does is including sched.h solely for can_do_mlock() inline
function which has "current" dereference inside. By dealing with can_do_mlock()
mm.h can be detached from sched.h which is good. See below, why.This patch
a) removes unconditional inclusion of sched.h from mm.h
b) makes can_do_mlock() normal function in mm/mlock.c
c) exports can_do_mlock() to not break compilation
d) adds sched.h inclusions back to files that were getting it indirectly.
e) adds less bloated headers to some files (asm/signal.h, jiffies.h) that were
getting them indirectlyNet result is:
a) mm.h users would get less code to open, read, preprocess, parse, ... if
they don't need sched.h
b) sched.h stops being dependency for significant number of files:
on x86_64 allmodconfig touching sched.h results in recompile of 4083 files,
after patch it's only 3744 (-8.3%).Cross-compile tested on

Based on ace_dump_mem() from Grant Likely for the Xilinx SystemACE
CompactFlash interface.Add print_hex_dump() & hex_dumper() to lib/hexdump.c and linux/kernel.h.
This patch adds the functions print_hex_dump() & hex_dumper().
print_hex_dump() can be used to perform a hex + ASCII dump of data to
syslog, in an easily viewable format, thus providing a common text hex dump
format.hex_dumper() provides a dump-to-memory function. It converts one "line" of
output (16 bytes of input) at a time.Example usages:
print_hex_dump(KERN_DEBUG, DUMP_PREFIX_ADDRESS, frame->data, frame->len);
hex_dumper(frame->data, frame->len, linebuf, sizeof(linebuf));Example output using %DUMP_PREFIX_OFFSET:
