Commit 2a98dc028f91 ("include/linux/bitmap.h: turn bitmap_set and
bitmap_clear into memset when possible") introduced an optimization to
bitmap_{set,clear}() which uses memset() when the start and length are
constants aligned to a byte.
This is wrong on big-endian systems; our bitmaps are arrays of unsigned
long, so bit n is not at byte n / 8 in memory. This was caught by the
Btrfs selftests, but the bitmap selftests also fail when run on a
big-endian machine.
We can still use memset if the start and length are aligned to an
unsigned long, so do that on big-endian. The same problem applies to
the memcmp in bitmap_equal(), so fix it there, too.
Fixes: 2a98dc028f91 ("include/linux/bitmap.h: turn bitmap_set and bitmap_clear into memset when possible")
Fixes: 2c6deb01525a ("bitmap: use memcmp optimisation in more situations")

We've measured that we spend ~0.6% of sys cpu time in cpumask_next_and().
It's essentially a joined iteration in search for a non-zero bit, which is
currently implemented as a lookup join (find a nonzero bit on the lhs,
lookup the rhs to see if it's set there).
Implement a direct join (find a nonzero bit on the incrementally built
join). Also add generic bitmap benchmarks in the new `test_find_bit`
module for new function (see `find_next_and_bit` in [2] and [3] below).
For cpumask_next_and, direct benchmarking shows that it's 1.17x to 14x
faster with a geometric mean of 2.1 on 32 CPUs [1]. No impact on memory
usage. Note that on Arm, the new pure-C implementation still outperforms
the old one that uses a mix of C and asm (`find_next_bit`) [3].
[1] Approximate benchmark code:
```
unsigned long src1p[nr_cpumask_longs] = {pattern1};
unsigned long src2p[nr_cpumask_longs] = {pattern2};
for (/*a bunch of repetitions*/) {
for (int n = -1; n <= nr_cpu_ids; ++n) {
asm volatile("" : "+rm"(src1p)); // prevent any optimization
asm volatile("" : "+rm"(src2p));
unsigned long result = cpumask_next_and(n, src1p, src2p);
asm volatile("" : "+rm"(result));
}
}
```

Behaviour of bitmap_fill() differs from bitmap_zero() in a way how bits
behind bitmap are handed. bitmap_zero() clears entire bitmap by unsigned
long boundary, while bitmap_fill() mimics bitmap_set().
Here we change bitmap_fill() behaviour to be consistent with bitmap_zero()
and add a note to documentation.
The change might reveal some bugs in the code where unused bits are
handled differently and in such cases bitmap_set() has to be used.

with bitmap_{from,to}_arr32 over the kernel. Additionally to it:
* __check_eq_bitmap() now takes single nbits argument.
* __check_eq_u32_array is not used in new test but may be used in
future. So I don't remove it here, but annotate as __used.
Tested on arm64 and 32-bit BE mips.

This patchset replaces bitmap_{to,from}_u32array with more simple and
standard looking copy-like functions.
bitmap_from_u32array() takes 4 arguments (bitmap_to_u32array is similar):
- unsigned long *bitmap, which is destination;
- unsigned int nbits, the length of destination bitmap, in bits;
- const u32 *buf, the source; and
- unsigned int nwords, the length of source buffer in ints.
In description to the function it is detailed like:
* copy min(nbits, 32*nwords) bits from @buf to @bitmap, remaining
* bits between nword and nbits in @bitmap (if any) are cleared.
Having two size arguments looks unneeded and potentially dangerous.
It is unneeded because normally user of copy-like function should take
care of the size of destination and make it big enough to fit source
data.
And it is dangerous because function may hide possible error if user
doesn't provide big enough bitmap, and data becomes silently dropped.
That's why all copy-like functions have 1 argument for size of copying
data, and I don't see any reason to make bitmap_from_u32array()
different.
One exception that comes in mind is strncpy() which also provides size
of destination in arguments, but it's strongly argued by the possibility
of taking broken strings in source. This is not the case of
bitmap_{from,to}_u32array().
There is no many real users of bitmap_{from,to}_u32array(), and they all
very clearly provide size of destination matched with the size of
source, so additional functionality is not used in fact. Like this:
bitmap_from_u32array(to->link_modes.supported,
__ETHTOOL_LINK_MODE_MASK_NBITS,
link_usettings.link_modes.supported,
__ETHTOOL_LINK_MODE_MASK_NU32);
Where:
#define __ETHTOOL_LINK_MODE_MASK_NU32 \
DIV_ROUND_UP(__ETHTOOL_LINK_MODE_MASK_NBITS, 32)
In this patch, bitmap_copy_safe and bitmap_{from,to}_arr32 are introduced.
'Safe' in bitmap_copy_safe() stands for clearing unused bits in bitmap
beyond last bit till the end of last word. It is useful for hardening
API when bitmap is assumed to be exposed to userspace.
bitmap_{from,to}_arr32 functions are replacements for
bitmap_{from,to}_u32array. They don't take unneeded nwords argument, and
so simpler in implementation and understanding.
This patch suggests optimization for 32-bit systems - aliasing
bitmap_{from,to}_arr32 to bitmap_copy_safe.
Other possible optimization is aliasing 64-bit LE bitmap_{from,to}_arr32 to
more generic function(s). But I didn't end up with the function that would
be helpful by itself, and can be used to alias 64-bit LE
bitmap_{from,to}_arr32, like bitmap_copy_safe() does. So I preferred to
leave things as is.
The following patch switches kernel to new API and introduces test for it.
Discussion is here: https://lkml.org/lkml/2017/11/15/592

- A new ftrace document from Steve Rostedt.
- Vinod Koul converted the dmaengine docs to RST
Beyond that, it's mostly simple fixes.

Many source files in the tree are missing licensing information, which
makes it harder for compliance tools to determine the correct license.
By default all files without license information are under the default
license of the kernel, which is GPL version 2.
Update the files which contain no license information with the 'GPL-2.0'
SPDX license identifier. The SPDX identifier is a legally binding
shorthand, which can be used instead of the full boiler plate text.
This patch is based on work done by Thomas Gleixner and Kate Stewart and
Philippe Ombredanne.
How this work was done:
Patches were generated and checked against linux-4.14-rc6 for a subset of
the use cases:
- file had no licensing information it it.
- file was a */uapi/* one with no licensing information in it,
- file was a */uapi/* one with existing licensing information,
Further patches will be generated in subsequent months to fix up cases
where non-standard license headers were used, and references to license
had to be inferred by heuristics based on keywords.
The analysis to determine which SPDX License Identifier to be applied to
a file was done in a spreadsheet of side by side results from of the
output of two independent scanners (ScanCode & Windriver) producing SPDX
tag:value files created by Philippe Ombredanne. Philippe prepared the
base worksheet, and did an initial spot review of a few 1000 files.
The 4.13 kernel was the starting point of the analysis with 60,537 files
assessed. Kate Stewart did a file by file comparison of the scanner
results in the spreadsheet to determine which SPDX license identifier(s)
to be applied to the file. She confirmed any determination that was not
immediately clear with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.
Criteria used to select files for SPDX license identifier tagging was:
- Files considered eligible had to be source code files.
- Make and config files were included as candidates if they contained >5
lines of source
- File already had some variant of a license header in it (even if <5
lines).
All documentation files were explicitly excluded.
The following heuristics were used to determine which SPDX license
identifiers to apply.
- when both scanners couldn't find any license traces, file was
considered to have no license information in it, and the top level
COPYING file license applied.
For non */uapi/* files that summary was:
SPDX license identifier # files
---------------------------------------------------|-------
GPL-2.0 11139
and resulted in the first patch in this series.
If that file was a */uapi/* path one, it was "GPL-2.0 WITH
Linux-syscall-note" otherwise it was "GPL-2.0". Results of that was:
SPDX license identifier # files
---------------------------------------------------|-------
GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note 930
and resulted in the second patch in this series.
- if a file had some form of licensing information in it, and was one
of the */uapi/* ones, it was denoted with the Linux-syscall-note if
any GPL family license was found in the file or had no licensing in
it (per prior point). Results summary:
SPDX license identifier # files
---------------------------------------------------|------
GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note 270
GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 169
((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-2-Clause) 21
((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause) 17
LGPL-2.1+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 15
GPL-1.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 14
((GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause) 5
LGPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 4
LGPL-2.1 WITH Linux-syscall-note 3
((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR MIT) 3
((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) AND MIT) 1
and that resulted in the third patch in this series.
- when the two scanners agreed on the detected license(s), that became
the concluded license(s).
- when there was disagreement between the two scanners (one detected a
license but the other didn't, or they both detected different
licenses) a manual inspection of the file occurred.
- In most cases a manual inspection of the information in the file
resulted in a clear resolution of the license that should apply (and
which scanner probably needed to revisit its heuristics).
- When it was not immediately clear, the license identifier was
confirmed with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.
- If there was any question as to the appropriate license identifier,
the file was flagged for further research and to be revisited later
in time.
In total, over 70 hours of logged manual review was done on the
spreadsheet to determine the SPDX license identifiers to apply to the
source files by Kate, Philippe, Thomas and, in some cases, confirmation
by lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.
Kate also obtained a third independent scan of the 4.13 code base from
FOSSology, and compared selected files where the other two scanners
disagreed against that SPDX file, to see if there was new insights. The
Windriver scanner is based on an older version of FOSSology in part, so
they are related.
Thomas did random spot checks in about 500 files from the spreadsheets
for the uapi headers and agreed with SPDX license identifier in the
files he inspected. For the non-uapi files Thomas did random spot checks
in about 15000 files.
In initial set of patches against 4.14-rc6, 3 files were found to have
copy/paste license identifier errors, and have been fixed to reflect the
correct identifier.
Additionally Philippe spent 10 hours this week doing a detailed manual
inspection and review of the 12,461 patched files from the initial patch
version early this week with:
- a full scancode scan run, collecting the matched texts, detected
license ids and scores
- reviewing anything where there was a license detected (about 500+
files) to ensure that the applied SPDX license was correct
- reviewing anything where there was no detection but the patch license
was not GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note to ensure that the applied
SPDX license was correct
This produced a worksheet with 20 files needing minor correction. This
worksheet was then exported into 3 different .csv files for the
different types of files to be modified.
These .csv files were then reviewed by Greg. Thomas wrote a script to
parse the csv files and add the proper SPDX tag to the file, in the
format that the file expected. This script was further refined by Greg
based on the output to detect more types of files automatically and to
distinguish between header and source .c files (which need different
comment types.) Finally Greg ran the script using the .csv files to
generate the patches.

The macro is the compile-time analogue of bitmap_from_u64() with the same
purpose: convert the 64-bit number to the properly ordered pair of 32-bit
parts, suitable for filling the bitmap in 32-bit BE environment.
Use it to make test_bitmap_parselist() correct for 32-bit BE ABIs.
Tested on BE mips/qemu.

Commit 7dd968163f7c ("bitmap: bitmap_equal memcmp optimization") was
rather more restrictive than necessary; we can use memcmp() to implement
bitmap_equal() as long as the number of bits can be proved to be a
multiple of 8. And architectures other than s390 may be able to make
good use of this optimisation.

Several callers have constant 'start' and an 'nbits' that is a multiple
of 8, so we can turn them into calls to memset. We don't need the
entirety of 'start' and 'nbits' to be constant, we just need to know
whether they're divisible by 8.

inline functions and make this special case efficient.

While the exisiting code works fine in most of the case, the logic
is broken for big-endian 32-bit kernels.
When reading a u64 mask using (u32 *)(&val)[0], find_*_bit() assumes
that it gets the lower 32 bits of u64, but instead it gets the upper
32 bits - which is wrong.
The fix is to swap the words of the u64 to handle this case.
This is _not_ a regular endianness swap.

The bitmap_equal function has optimized code for small bitmaps with less
than BITS_PER_LONG bits. For larger bitmaps the out-of-line function
__bitmap_equal is called.
For a constant number of bits divisible by BITS_PER_LONG the memcmp
function can be used. For s390 gcc knows how to optimize this function,
memcmp calls with up to 256 bytes / 2048 bits are translated into a
single instruction.

The macro BITMAP_LAST_WORD_MASK can be implemented without a conditional,
which will generally lead to slightly better generated code (221 bytes
saved for allmodconfig-GCOV_KERNEL, ~2k with GCOV_KERNEL). As a small
bonus, this also ensures that the nbits parameter is expanded exactly
once.
In BITMAP_FIRST_WORD_MASK, if start is signed gcc is technically allowed
to assume it is positive (or divisible by BITS_PER_LONG), and hence just
do the simple mask. It doesn't seem to use this, and even on an
architecture like x86 where the shift only depends on the lower 5 or 6
bits, and these bits are not affected by the signedness of the expression,
gcc still generates code to compute the C99 mandated value of start %
BITS_PER_LONG. So just use a mask explicitly, also for consistency with
BITMAP_LAST_WORD_MASK.

gcc can generate slightly better code for stuff like "nbits %
BITS_PER_LONG" when it knows nbits is not negative. Since negative size
bitmaps or shift amounts don't make sense, change these parameters of
bitmap_shift_right to unsigned.
If off >= lim (which requires shift >= nbits), k is initialized with a
large positive value, but since I've let k continue to be signed, the loop
will never run and dst will be zeroed as expected. Inside the loop, k is
guaranteed to be non-negative, so the fact that it is promoted to unsigned
in the various expressions it appears in is harmless.
Also use "shift" and "nbits" consistently for the parameter names.

I've previously changed the nbits parameter of most bitmap_* functions to
unsigned; now it is bitmap_shift_{left,right}'s turn. This alone saves
some .text, but while at it I found that there were a few other things one
could do. The end result of these seven patches is
$ scripts/bloat-o-meter /tmp/bitmap.o.{old,new}
add/remove: 0/0 grow/shrink: 0/2 up/down: 0/-328 (-328)
function old new delta
__bitmap_shift_right 384 226 -158
__bitmap_shift_left 306 136 -170
and less importantly also a smaller stack footprint
$ stack-o-meter.pl master bitmap
file function old new delta
lib/bitmap.o __bitmap_shift_right 24 8 -16
lib/bitmap.o __bitmap_shift_left 24 0 -24
For each pair of 0 <= shift <= nbits <= 256 I've tested the end result
with a few randomly filled src buffers (including garbage beyond nbits),
in each case verifying that the shift {left,right}-most bits of dst are
zero and the remaining nbits-shift bits correspond to src, so I'm fairly
confident I didn't screw up. That hasn't stopped me from being wrong
before, though.
This patch (of 7):
gcc can generate slightly better code for stuff like "nbits %
BITS_PER_LONG" when it knows nbits is not negative. Since negative size
bitmaps or shift amounts don't make sense, change these parameters of
bitmap_shift_right to unsigned.
The expressions involving "lim - 1" are still ok, since if lim is 0 the
loop is never executed.
Also use "shift" and "nbits" consistently for the parameter names.

bitmap_* functions take unsigned long* parameters; there's no reason this
should be special.
The only current user is the static inline uwb_mas_bm_copy_le, which
already does the void* laundering, so the end users can pass their u8 or
__le32 buffers without a cast.
Furthermore, this allows us to simply let bitmap_copy_le be an alias for

Many functions in lib/bitmap.c start with an expression such as lim =
bits/BITS_PER_LONG. Since bits has type (signed) int, and since gcc
cannot know that it is in fact non-negative, it generates worse code
than it could. These patches, mostly consisting of changing various
parameters to unsigned, gives a slight overall code reduction:

[The increases in __bitmap_and{,not} are due to bug fixes 17/18,18/18.
No idea why bitmap_weight suddenly appears.] While 163 bytes treewide is
insignificant, I believe the bitmap functions are often called with
locks held, so saving even a few cycles might be worth it.
While making these changes, I found a few other things that might be
worth including. 16,17,18 are actual bug fixes. The rest shouldn't
change the behaviour of any of the functions, provided no-one passed
negative nbits values. If something should come up, it should be fairly
bisectable.
A few issues I thought about, but didn't know what to do with:
* Many of the functions misbehave if nbits is compile-time 0; the
out-of-line functions generally handle 0 correctly. bitmap_fill() is
particularly bad, whether the 0 is known at compile time or not. It
would probably be nice to add detection of at least compile-time 0 and
handle that appropriately.
* I didn't change __bitmap_shift_{left,right} to use unsigned because I
want to fully understand why the algorithm works before making that
change. However, AFAICT, they behave correctly for all (positive) shift
amounts. This is not the case for the small_const_nbits versions. If
for example nbits = n = BITS_PER_LONG, the shift operators turn into
no-ops (at least on x86), so one get *dst = *src, whereas one would
expect to get *dst=0. That difference in behaviour is somewhat
annoying.
This patch (of 18):
The compiler can generate slightly smaller and simpler code when it
knows that "nbits" is non-negative. Since no-one passes a negative
bit-count, this shouldn't affect the semantics.

This version of the gen_pool memory allocator supports lockless
operation.
This makes it safe to use in NMI handlers and other special
unblockable contexts that could otherwise deadlock on locks. This is
implemented by using atomic operations and retries on any conflicts.
The disadvantage is that there may be livelocks in extreme cases. For
better scalability, one gen_pool allocator can be used for each CPU.
The lockless operation only works if there is enough memory available.
If new memory is added to the pool a lock has to be still taken. So
any user relying on locklessness has to ensure that sufficient memory
is preallocated.
The basic atomic operation of this allocator is cmpxchg on long. On
architectures that don't have NMI-safe cmpxchg implementation, the
allocator can NOT be used in NMI handler. So code uses the allocator
in NMI handler should depend on CONFIG_ARCH_HAVE_NMI_SAFE_CMPXCHG.
