[PATCH] bitops: hweight() speedup

<linux@horizon.com> wrote:

This is an extremely well-known technique.  You can see a similar version that
uses a multiply for the last few steps at
http://graphics.stanford.edu/~seander/bithacks.html#CountBitsSetParallel whch
refers to "Software Optimization Guide for AMD Athlon 64 and Opteron
Processors"
http://www.amd.com/us-en/assets/content_type/white_papers_and_tech_docs/25112.PDF

It's section 8.6, "Efficient Implementation of Population-Count Function in
32-bit Mode", pages 179-180.

It uses the name that I am more familiar with, "popcount" (population count),
although "Hamming weight" also makes sense.

Anyway, the proof of correctness proceeds as follows:

b = a - ((a >> 1) & 0x55555555);
c = (b & 0x33333333) + ((b >> 2) & 0x33333333);
d = (c + (c >> 4)) & 0x0f0f0f0f;
#if SLOW_MULTIPLY
e = d + (d >> 8)
f = e + (e >> 16);
return f & 63;
#else
/* Useful if multiply takes at most 4 cycles */
return (d * 0x01010101) >> 24;
#endif

The input value a can be thought of as 32 1-bit fields each holding their own
hamming weight.  Now look at it as 16 2-bit fields.  Each 2-bit field a1..a0
has the value 2*a1 + a0.  This can be converted into the hamming weight of the
2-bit field a1+a0 by subtracting a1.

That's what the (a >> 1) & mask subtraction does.  Since there can be no
borrows, you can just do it all at once.

Enumerating the 4 possible cases:

0b00 = 0  ->  0 - 0 = 0
0b01 = 1  ->  1 - 0 = 1
0b10 = 2  ->  2 - 1 = 1
0b11 = 3  ->  3 - 1 = 2

The next step consists of breaking up b (made of 16 2-bir fields) into
even and odd halves and adding them into 4-bit fields.  Since the largest
possible sum is 2+2 = 4, which will not fit into a 4-bit field, the 2-bit
                           ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
                          "which will not fit into a 2-bit field"

fields have to be masked before they are added.

After this point, the masking can be delayed.  Each 4-bit field holds a
population count from 0..4, taking at most 3 bits.  These numbers can be added
without overflowing a 4-bit field, so we can compute c + (c >> 4), and only
then mask off the unwanted bits.

This produces d, a number of 4 8-bit fields, each in the range 0..8.  From
this point, we can shift and add d multiple times without overflowing an 8-bit
field, and only do a final mask at the end.

The number to mask with has to be at least 63 (so that 32 on't be truncated),
but can also be 128 or 255.  The x86 has a special encoding for signed
immediate byte values -128..127, so the value of 255 is slower.  On other
processors, a special "sign extend byte" instruction might be faster.

On a processor with fast integer multiplies (Athlon but not P4), you can
reduce the final few serially dependent instructions to a single integer
multiply.  Consider d to be 3 8-bit values d3, d2, d1 and d0, each in the
range 0..8.  The multiply forms the partial products:

           d3 d2 d1 d0
        d3 d2 d1 d0
     d3 d2 d1 d0
+ d3 d2 d1 d0
----------------------
           e3 e2 e1 e0

Where e3 = d3 + d2 + d1 + d0.   e2, e1 and e0 obviously cannot generate
any carries.

[PATCH] EDAC: kobject/sysfs fixes

- After we unregister a kobject, wait for our kobject release method
  to call complete().  This causes us to wait until the kobject
  reference count reaches 0.  Otherwise, a task accessing the EDAC
  sysfs interface can hold the reference count above 0 until after the
  EDAC module has been unloaded.  When the reference count finally
  drops to 0, this will result in an attempt to call our release
  method inside the EDAC module after the module has already been
  unloaded.

  This isn't the best fix, since a process can get stuck sleeping forever
  uninterruptibly if the user does the following:

      rmmod my_module < /sys/my_sysfs/file

  I'll go back and implement a better fix later.  However this should
  be ok for now.

- Call edac_remove_sysfs_mci_device() from edac_mc_del_mc() rather
  than from edac_mc_free().  Since edac_mc_add_mc() calls
  edac_create_sysfs_mci_device(), edac_mc_del_mc() should call

[PATCH] isdn4linux: Siemens Gigaset drivers - Kconfigs and Makefiles

And: Tilman Schmidt <tilman@imap.cc>

The following patches add drivers for the Siemens Gigaset 3070 family of ISDN
DECT PABXes connected via USB, either directly or over a DECT link using a
Gigaset M105 or compatible DECT data adapter.  The devices are integrated as
ISDN adapters within the isdn4linux framework, supporting incoming and
outgoing voice and data connections, and also as tty devices providing access
to device specific AT commands.

Supported devices include models 3070, 3075, 4170, 4175, SX205, SX255, and
SX353 from the Siemens Gigaset product family, as well as the technically
identical models 45isdn and 721X from the Deutsche Telekom Sinus series.
Supported DECT adapters are the Gigaset M105 data and the technically
identical Gigaset USB Adapter DECT, Sinus 45 data 2, and Sinus 721 data (but
not the Gigaset M34 and Sinus 702 data which advertise themselves as CDC-ACM
devices).

These drivers have been developed over the last four years within the
SourceForge project http://sourceforge.net/projects/gigaset307x/.  They are
being used successfully in several installations for dial-in Internet access
and for voice call switching with Asterisk.

This is our second attempt at submitting these drivers, taking into account
the comments we received to our first submission on 2005-12-11.

The patch set adds three kernel modules:

- a common module "gigaset" encapsulating the common logic for
  controlling the PABX and the interfaces to userspace and the
  isdn4linux subsystem.

- a connection-specific module "bas_gigaset" which handles
  communication with the PABX over a direct USB connection.

- a connection-specific module "usb_gigaset" which does the same
  for a DECT connection using the Gigaset M105 USB DECT adapter.

We also have a module "ser_gigaset" which supports the Gigaset M101 RS232 DECT
adapter, but we didn't judge it fit for inclusion in the kernel, as it does
direct programming of a i8250 serial port.  It should probably be rewritten as
a serial line discipline but so far we lack the neccessary knowledge about
writing a line discipline for that.

The drivers have been working with kernel releases 2.2 and 2.4 as well as 2.6,
and although we took efforts to remove the compatibility code for this
submission, it probably still shows in places.  Please make allowances.

This patch:

Prepare the kernel build infrastructure for addition of the Gigaset ISDN
drivers.  It creates a Makefile and Kconfig file for the Gigaset driver and
hooks them into those of the isdn4linux subsystem.  It also adds a MAINTAINERS
entry for the driver.

This patch depends on patches 2 to 9 of the present set, as without the actual
source files, activating the options added here will cause the kernel build to
fail.

[PATCH] x86: kprobes-booster

Current kprobe copies the original instruction at the probe point and replaces
it with a breakpoint instruction (int3).  When the kernel hits the probe
point, kprobe handler is invoked.  And the copied instruction is single-step
executed on the copied buffer (not on the original address) by kprobe.  After
that, the kprobe checks registers and modify it (if need) as if the
instructions was executed on the original address.

My proposal is based on the fact there are many instructions which do NOT
require the register modification after the single-step execution.  When the
copied instruction is a kind of them, kprobe just jumps back to the next
instruction after single-step execution.  If so, why don't we execute those
instructions directly?

With kprobe-booster patch, kprobes will execute a copied instruction directly
and (if need) jump back to original code.  This direct execution is executed
when the kprobe don't have both post_handler and break_handler, and the copied
instruction can be executed directly.

I sorted instructions which can be executed directly or not;

- Call instructions are NG(can not be executed directly).
  We should correct the return address pushed into top of stack.
- Indirect instructions except for absolute indirect-jumps
  are NG. Those instructions changes EIP randomly. We should
  check EIP and correct it.
- Instructions that change EIP beyond the range of the
  instruction buffer are NG.
- Instructions that change EIP to tail 5 bytes of the
  instruction buffer (it is the size of a jump instruction).
  We must write a jump instruction which backs to original
  kernel code in the instruction buffer.
- Break point instruction is NG. We should not touch EIP and
  pass to other handlers.
- Absolute direct/indirect jumps are OK.- Conditional Jumps are NG.
- Halt and software-interruptions are NG. Because it will stay on
  the instruction buffer of kprobes.
- Prefixes are NG.
- Unknown/reserved opcode is NG.
- Other 1 byte instructions are OK. But those instructions need a
  jump back code.
- 2 bytes instructions are mapped sparsely. So, in this release,
  this patch don't boost those instructions.

>From Intel's IA-32 opcode map described in IA-32 Intel Architecture Software
Developer's Manual Vol.2 B, I determined that following opcodes are not
boostable.

- 0FH (2byte escape)
- 70H - 7FH (Jump on condition)
- 9AH (Call) and 9CH (Pushf)
- C0H-C1H (Grp 2: includes reserved opcode)

- F4H (Halt)
- F6H-F7H (Grp3: includes reserved opcode)
- FEH-FFH(Grp4,5: includes reserved opcode)

Kprobe-booster checks whether target instruction can be boosted (can be
executed directly) at arch_copy_kprobe() function.  If the target instruction
can be boosted, it clears "boostable" flag.  If not, it sets "boostable" flag
-1.  This is disabled status.  In resume_execution() function, If "boostable"
flag is cleared, kprobe-booster measures the size of the target instruction
and sets "boostable" flag 1.

In kprobe_handler(), kprobe checks the "boostable" flag.  If the flag is 1, it
resets current kprobe and executes instruction buffer directly instead of
single stepping.

When unregistering a boosted kprobe, it calls synchronize_sched()
after "int3" is removed. So we can ensure followings after
the synchronize_sched() called.
- interrupt handlers are finished on all CPUs.
- instruction buffer is not executed on all CPUs.
And we can release the boosted kprobe safely.

And also, on preemptible kernel, the booster is not enabled where the kernel
preemption is enabled.  So, there are no preempted threads on the instruction
buffer.

The description of kretprobe-booster:
====================================

In the normal operation, kretprobe make a target function return to trampoline
code.  And a kprobe (called trampoline_probe) have been inserted at the
trampoline code.  When the kernel hits this kprobe, it calls kretprobe's
handler and it returns to original return address.

Kretprobe-booster patch removes the trampoline_probe.  It allows the
tram\18poline code to call kretprobe's handler directly instead of invoking
kprobe.  And tranpoline code returns to original return address.

This new trampoline code stores and restores registers, so the kretprobe
handler is still able to access those registers.

Current kprobe has about 1.3 usec/probe(*) overhead, and kprobe-booster patch
reduces it to 0.6 usec/probe(*).  Also current kretprobe has about 2.0
usec/probe(*) overhead.  Kprobe-booster patch reduces it to 1.3 usec/probe(*),
and the combination of both kprobe-booster patch and kretprobe-booster patch
reduces it to 0.9 usec/probe(*).

I expect the combination of both patches can reduce half of a probing
overhead.

Performance numbers strongly depend on the processor model.

The problem is how to remove the copied instructions of the
kprobe *safely* on the preemptable kernel (CONFIG_PREEMPT=y).

Kprobes basically executes the following actions;

(1)int3
(2)preempt_disable()
(3)kprobe_prehandler()
(4)copied instructioin(single step)
(5)kprobe_posthandler()
(6)preempt_enable()
(7)return to the original code

During the execution of copied instruction, preemption is
disabled (from step (2) to (6)).
When unregistering the probes, Kprobe waits for RCU
quiescent state by using synchronize_sched() after removing
int3 instruction.
Thus we can ensure the copied instruction is not executed.

On the other hand, kprobe-booster executes the following actions;

(1)int3
(2)preempt_disable()
(3)kprobe_prehandler()
(4)preempt_enable()             <-- this one is added by my patch
(5)copied instruction(direct execution)
(6)jmp back to the original code

The problem is that we have no way to prevent preemption on
step (5) or (6). We cannot call preempt_disable() after step (6),
because there are no rooms to do that. Thus, some other
processes may be preempted at step(5) or (6) on preemptable kernel.
And I couldn't find the easy way to ensure that other processes'
stack do *not* have the address of them. (I thought some way
to do that, but those are very costly.)

So currently, I simply boost the kprobe only when the probe
point is already preemption disabled.

It is corresponding to the preempt_disable() in the top of
kprobe_handler().
I copied the code of kprobe_handler() here:

static int __kprobes kprobe_handler(struct pt_regs *regs)
{
        struct kprobe *p;
        int ret = 0;
        kprobe_opcode_t *addr = NULL;
        unsigned long *lp;
        struct kprobe_ctlblk *kcb;

        /*
         * We don't want to be preempted for the entire
         * duration of kprobe processing
         */
        preempt_disable();             <-- HERE
        kcb = get_kprobe_ctlblk();

[PATCH] hrtimers: remove data field

The nanosleep cleanup allows to remove the data field of hrtimer.  The
callback function can use container_of() to get it's own data.  Since the
hrtimer structure is anyway embedded in other structures, this adds no
overhead.

nsec_t predates ktime_t and has mostly been superseded by it.  In the few
