vsprintf.c: optimizing, part 2: base 10 conversion speedup, v2
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
Original decimal conv: .......... 151 ns per iteration
Patched decimal conv: .......... 62 ns per iteration

vsprintf.c: optimizing, part 1 (easy and obvious stuff)
* There is no point in having full "0...9a...z" constant vector,
if we use only "0...9a...f" (and "x" for "0x").
* Post-decrement usually needs a few more instructions, so use
pre decrement instead where makes sense:
- Â Â Â while (i < precision--) {
+ Â Â Â while (i <= --precision) {
* if base != 10 (=> base 8 or 16), we can avoid using division
in a loop and use mask/shift, obtaining much faster conversion.

isapnp: remove pointless check of 'type' against 0 in isapnp_read_tag()
In drivers/pnp/isapnp/core.c::isapnp_read_tag() there is a test of 'type'
being == 0 a bit down in the function. That test doesn't make any sense.
If 'type' could indeed be NULL, then the test happens way too late as we'd
already have tried to dereference the pointer earlier and looking at the
callers it also turns out that there is no way type can ever actually be
NULL.
So the test is completely pointless and should just be removed.

cancel_delayed_work()
cancel_rearming_delayed_work()
cancel_rearming_delayed_workqueue() // obsolete
cancel_work_sync()
This looks as if the first 2 functions differ in "type" of their argument
which is not true any longer, nowadays the difference is the behaviour.
The semantics of cancel_rearming_delayed_work(dwork) was changed
significantly, it doesn't require that dwork rearms itself, and cancels dwork
synchronously.
Rename it to cancel_delayed_work_sync(). This matches cancel_delayed_work()
and cancel_work_sync(). Re-create cancel_rearming_delayed_work() as a simple

generic bug: use show_regs() instead of dump_stack()
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():

HFS+: refactor ASCII to unicode conversion routine for later reuse
The HFS+ filesystem is case-insensitive and does automatic unicode
decomposition by default, but does not provide custom dentry operations. This
can lead to multiple dentries being cached for lookups on a filename with
varying case and/or character (de)composition.
These patches add custom dentry hash and comparison operations for
case-sensitive and/or automatically decomposing HFS+ filesystems. Unicode
decomposition and case-folding are performed as required to ensure equivalent
filenames are hashed to the same values and compare as equal.
This patch:
Refactor existing HFS+ ASCII to unicode string conversion routine to split out
character conversion functionality. This will be reused by the custom dentry
hash and comparison routines. This approach avoids unnecessary memory
allocation compared to using the string conversion routine directly in the new
functions.

sys_time() speedup
Improve performance of sys_time(). sys_time() returns time in seconds, but
it does so by calling do_gettimeofday() and then returning the tv_sec
portion of the GTOD time. But the data structure "xtime", which is updated
by every timer/scheduler tick, already offers HZ granularity time.
The patch improves the sysbench OLTP macrobenchmark significantly:
2.6.22-rc6:

Mixed API uses of gettimeofday() and time() are guaranteed to be coherent
via the use of a at-most-once-per-second slowpath that updates xtime.

namespace: ensure clone_flags are always stored in an unsigned long

diskquota: 32bit quota tools on 64bit architectures
OpenVZ Linux kernel team has discovered the problem with 32bit quota tools
working on 64bit architectures. In 2.6.10 kernel sys32_quotactl() function
was replaced by sys_quotactl() with the comment "sys_quotactl seems to be
32/64bit clean, enable it for 32bit" However this isn't right. Look at
if_dqblk structure:
struct if_dqblk {
__u64 dqb_bhardlimit;
__u64 dqb_bsoftlimit;
__u64 dqb_curspace;
__u64 dqb_ihardlimit;
__u64 dqb_isoftlimit;
__u64 dqb_curinodes;
__u64 dqb_btime;
__u64 dqb_itime;
__u32 dqb_valid;
};
For 32 bit quota tools sizeof(if_dqblk) == 0x44.
But for 64 bit kernel its size is 0x48, 'cause of alignment!
Thus we got a problem. Attached patch reintroduce sys32_quotactl() function,
that handles this and related situations.

Introduce compat_u64 and compat_s64 types
One common problem with 32 bit system call and ioctl emulation is the
different alignment rules between i386 and 64 bit machines. A number of
drivers work around this by marking the compat structures as
'attribute((packed))', which is not the right solution because it breaks
all the non-x86 architectures that want to use the same compat code.
Hopefully, this patch improves the situation, it introduces two new types,
compat_u64 and compat_s64. These are defined on all architectures to have
the same size and alignment as the 32 bit version of u64 and s64.
