Use cmpxchg_u32 and cmpxchg_u64 for cmpxchg_local and cmpxchg64_local. For other type sizes, use the new generic cmpxchg_local (disables interrupt). Change: Since the header depends on local_irqsave/local_irqrestore, it must be included after their declaration. Actually, being below the #include <linux/irqflags.h> should be enough, and on sparc64 it is included at the beginning of system.h. So it makes sense to move it up for sparc64.

2008-02-07Add cmpxchg_local, cmpxchg64 and cmpxchg64_local to ia64Mathieu Desnoyers
Add the primitives cmpxchg_local, cmpxchg64 and cmpxchg64_local to ia64. They use cmpxchg_acq as underlying macro, just like the already existing ia64 cmpxchg(). Changelog: ia64 cmpxchg_local coding style fix Quoting Keith Owens: As a matter of coding style, I prefer #define cmpxchg_local cmpxchg #define cmpxchg64_local cmpxchg64 Which makes it absolutely clear that they are the same code. With your patch, humans have to do a string compare of two defines to see if they are the same. Note cmpxchg is *not* a performance win vs interrupt disable / enable on IA64.

2008-02-07Add cmpxchg_local to asm-generic for per cpu atomic operationsMathieu Desnoyers
Emulates the cmpxchg_local by disabling interrupts around variable modification. This is not reentrant wrt NMIs and MCEs. It is only protected against normal interrupts, but this is enough for architectures without such interrupt sources or if used in a context where the data is not shared with such handlers. It can be used as a fallback for architectures lacking a real cmpxchg instruction. For architectures that have a real cmpxchg but does not have NMIs or MCE, testing which of the generic vs architecture specific cmpxchg is the fastest should be done. asm-generic/cmpxchg.h defines a cmpxchg that uses cmpxchg_local. It is meant to be used as a cmpxchg fallback for architectures that do not support SMP. * Patch series comments Using cmpxchg_local shows a performance improvements of the fast path goes from a 66% speedup on a Pentium 4 to a 14% speedup on AMD64.

2008-02-07Sanitize the type of struct user.u_ar0H. Peter Anvin
struct user.u_ar0 is defined to contain a pointer offset on all architectures in which it is defined (all architectures which define an a.out format except SPARC.) However, it has a pointer type in the headers, which is pointless -- <asm/user.h> is not exported to userspace, and it just makes the code messy. Redefine the field as "unsigned long" (which is the same size as a pointer on all Linux architectures) and change the setting code to user offsetof() instead of hand-coded arithmetic.

2008-02-07iget: remove iget() and the read_inode() super op as being obsoleteDavid Howells
Remove the old iget() call and the read_inode() superblock operation it uses as these are really obsolete, and the use of read_inode() does not produce proper error handling (no distinction between ENOMEM and EIO when marking an inode bad). Furthermore, this removes the temptation to use iget() to find an inode by number in a filesystem from code outside that filesystem. iget_locked() should be used instead. A new function is added in an earlier patch (iget_failed) that is to be called to mark an inode as bad, unlock it and release it should the get routine fail. Mark iget() and read_inode() as being obsolete and remove references to them from the documentation. Typically a filesystem will be modified such that the read_inode function becomes an internal iget function, for example the following: void thingyfs_read_inode(struct inode *inode) { ... } would be changed into something like: struct inode *thingyfs_iget(struct super_block *sp, unsigned long ino) { struct inode *inode; int ret; inode = iget_locked(sb, ino); if (!inode) return ERR_PTR(-ENOMEM); if (!(inode->i_state & I_NEW)) return inode; ... unlock_new_inode(inode); return inode; error: iget_failed(inode); return ERR_PTR(ret); } and then thingyfs_iget() would be called rather than iget(), for example: ret = -EINVAL; inode = iget(sb, ino); if (!inode || is_bad_inode(inode)) goto error; becomes: inode = thingyfs_iget(sb, ino); if (IS_ERR(inode)) { ret = PTR_ERR(inode); goto error; } Note that is_bad_inode() does not need to be called. The error returned by thingyfs_iget() should render it unnecessary.
