      MIPS: Fix octeon FP context switch handling · 0fa24340
      Paul Burton authored
      Commit 1a3d5957 ("MIPS: Tidy up FPU context switching") removed FP
      context saving from the asm-written resume function in favour of reusing
      existing code to perform the same task. However it only removed the FP
      context saving code from the r4k_switch.S implementation of resume.
      Octeon uses its own implementation in octeon_switch.S, so remove FP
      context saving there too in order to prevent attempting to save context
      twice. That formerly led to an exception from the second save as follows
      because the FPU had already been disabled by the first save:

      MIPS: BPF: Fix load delay slots. · 0c5d1878
      Ralf Baechle authored
      
      
      The entire bpf_jit_asm.S is written in noreorder mode because "we know
      better" according to a comment.  This also prevented the assembler from
      throwing in the required NOPs for MIPS I processors which have no
      load-use interlock, thus the load's consumer might end up using the
      old value of the register from prior to the load.
      
      Fixed by putting the assembler in reorder mode for just the affected
      load instructions.  This is not enough for gas to actually try to be
      clever by looking at the next instruction and inserting a nop only
      when needed but as the comment said "we know better", so getting gas
      to unconditionally emit a NOP is just right in this case and prevents
      adding further ifdefery.

      fs-writeback: unplug before cond_resched in writeback_sb_inodes · 590dca3a
      Chris Mason authored
      Commit 505a666e ("writeback: plug writeback in wb_writeback() and
      writeback_inodes_wb()") has us holding a plug during writeback_sb_inodes,
      which increases the merge rate when relatively contiguous small files
      are written by the filesystem.  It helps both on flash and spindles.
      
      For an fs_mark workload creating 4K files in parallel across 8 drives,
      this commit improves performance ~9% more by unplugging before calling
      cond_resched().  cond_resched() doesn't trigger an implicit unplug, so
      explicitly getting the IO down to the device before scheduling reduces
      latencies for anyone waiting on clean pages.
      
      It also cuts down on how often we use kblockd to unplug, which means
      less work bouncing from one workqueue to another.
      
      Many more details about how we got here:

      use a generic macro in include/asm-generic/memory_model.h. This hit
      mainline in the form of 012dcef3
      
       "mm: move __phys_to_pfn and
      __pfn_to_phys to asm/generic/memory_model.h". When the generic macro
      was implemented the type cast to phys_addr_t was dropped which caused
      boot regressions on ARM platforms with more than 4GB of memory and
      LPAE enabled.
      
      It was suggested to use PFN_PHYS() defined in include/linux/pfn.h
      as provides the correct logic and avoids further duplication.
