      i2c-bfin-twi: integrate timeout timer with completion interface · dd7319a5
      Sonic Zhang authored 
      

There isn't much point in managing our own custom timeout timer when the
completion interface already includes support for it.  This makes the
resulting code much simpler and robust.

      i2c-s3c2410: Remove unconditional 1ms delay on each transfer · 1bc2962e
      Mark Brown authored 
      

The S3C I2C controller indicates completion of I2C transfers before
the bus has a stop condition on it. In order to ensure that we do not
attempt to start a new transfer before the bus is idle the driver
currently inserts a 1ms delay. This is vastly larger than is generally
required and has a visible effect on performance under load, such as
when bringing up audio CODECs or reading back status information with
non-bulk I2C reads.

Replace the sleep with a spin on the IIC status register for up to 1ms.
This will busy wait but testing on my SMDK6410 system indicates that
the overwhelming majority of transactions complete on the first spin,
with maximum latencies of less than 10 spins so the absolute overhead
of busy waiting should be at worst comprable to msleep(), and the
overall system performance is dramatically improved.

The main risk is poor interaction with multimaster systems where
we may miss the bus going idle before the next transaction. Defend
against this by falling back to the original 1ms delay after 20 spins.

The overall effect in my testing is an approximately 20% improvement
in kernel startup time.

      cpumask: fix compat getaffinity · fa9dc265
      KOSAKI Motohiro authored 
      Commit a45185d2

 "cpumask: convert kernel/compat.c" broke libnuma, which
abuses sched_getaffinity to find out NR_CPUS in order to parse
/sys/devices/system/node/node*/cpumap.

On NUMA systems with less than 32 possibly CPUs, the current
compat_sys_sched_getaffinity now returns '4' instead of the actual
NR_CPUS/8, which makes libnuma bail out when parsing the cpumap.

The libnuma call sched_getaffinity(0, bitmap, 4096) at first.  It mean
the libnuma expect the return value of sched_getaffinity() is either len
argument or NR_CPUS.  But it doesn't expect to return nr_cpu_ids.

Strictly speaking, userland requirement are

1) Glibc assume the return value mean the lengh of initialized
   of mask argument. E.g. if sched_getaffinity(1024) return 128,
   glibc make zero fill rest 896 byte.
2) Libnuma assume the return value can be used to guess NR_CPUS
   in kernel. It assume len-arg<NR_CPUS makes -EINVAL. But
   it try len=4096 at first and 4096 is always bigger than
   NR_CPUS. Then, if we remove strange min_length normalization,
   we never hit -EINVAL case.

sched_getaffinity() already solved this issue.  This patch adapts
compat_sys_sched_getaffinity() to match the non-compat case.
