MIPS: Add custom serial.h with BASE_BAUD override for generic kernel

2017-11-28T15:53:24Z

Add a custom serial.h header for MIPS, allowing platforms to override the asm-generic version if required. The generic platform uses this header to set BASE_BAUD to 0. The generic platform supports multiple boards, which may have different UART clocks. Also one of the boards supported is the Boston FPGA board, where the UART clock depends on the loaded FPGA bitfile. As such there is no way that the generic kernel can set a compile time default BASE_BAUD. Commit 31cb9a8575ca ("earlycon: initialise baud field of earlycon device structure") changed the behavior of of_setup_earlycon such that any baud rate set in the device tree is now set in the earlycon structure. The UART driver will then calculate a divisor based on BASE_BAUD and set it. With MIPS generic kernels this resulted in garbage output due to the incorrect uart clock rate being used to calculate a divisor. This commit, combined with "serial: 8250_early: Only set divisor if valid clk & baud" prevents the earlycon code setting a bad divisor and restores earlycon output.

MIPS: Use queued spinlocks (qspinlock)

2017-06-29T00:42:26Z

This patch switches MIPS to make use of generically implemented queued spinlocks, rather than the ticket spinlocks used previously. This allows us to drop a whole load of inline assembly, share more generic code, and is also a performance win. Results from running the AIM7 short workload on a MIPS Creator Ci40 (ie. 2 core 2 thread interAptiv CPU clocked at 546MHz) with v4.12-rc4 pistachio_defconfig, with ftrace disabled due to a current bug, and both with & without use of queued rwlocks & spinlocks: Forks | v4.12-rc4 | +qlocks | Change -------|-----------|----------|-------- 10 | 52630.32 | 53316.31 | +1.01% 20 | 51777.80 | 52623.15 | +1.02% 30 | 51645.92 | 52517.26 | +1.02% 40 | 51634.88 | 52419.89 | +1.02% 50 | 51506.75 | 52307.81 | +1.02% 60 | 51500.74 | 52322.72 | +1.02% 70 | 51434.81 | 52288.60 | +1.02% 80 | 51423.22 | 52434.85 | +1.02% 90 | 51428.65 | 52410.10 | +1.02% The kernels used for these tests also had my "MIPS: Hardcode cpu_has_* where known at compile time due to ISA" patch applied, which allows the kernel_uses_llsc checks in cmpxchg() & xchg() to be optimised away at compile time.

sched/cputime: Remove generic asm headers

2017-02-01T08:14:07Z

cputime_t is now only used by two architectures: * powerpc (when CONFIG_VIRT_CPU_ACCOUNTING_NATIVE=y) * s390 And since the core doesn't use it anymore, we don't need any arch support from the others. So we can remove their stub implementations. A final cleanup would be to provide an efficient pure arch implementation of cputime_to_nsec() for s390 and powerpc and finally remove include/linux/cputime.h .

Merge branch 'strscpy' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/cmetcalf/linux-tile

2015-10-04T15:31:13Z

Pull strscpy string copy function implementation from Chris Metcalf. Chris sent this during the merge window, but I waffled back and forth on the pull request, which is why it's going in only now. The new "strscpy()" function is definitely easier to use and more secure than either strncpy() or strlcpy(), both of which are horrible nasty interfaces that have serious and irredeemable problems. strncpy() has a useless return value, and doesn't NUL-terminate an overlong result. To make matters worse, it pads a short result with zeroes, which is a performance disaster if you have big buffers. strlcpy(), by contrast, is a mis-designed "fix" for strlcpy(), lacking the insane NUL padding, but having a differently broken return value which returns the original length of the source string. Which means that it will read characters past the count from the source buffer, and you have to trust the source to be properly terminated. It also makes error handling fragile, since the test for overflow is unnecessarily subtle. strscpy() avoids both these problems, guaranteeing the NUL termination (but not excessive padding) if the destination size wasn't zero, and making the overflow condition very obvious by returning -E2BIG. It also doesn't read past the size of the source, and can thus be used for untrusted source data too. So why did I waffle about this for so long? Every time we introduce a new-and-improved interface, people start doing these interminable series of trivial conversion patches. And every time that happens, somebody does some silly mistake, and the conversion patch to the improved interface actually makes things worse. Because the patch is mindnumbing and trivial, nobody has the attention span to look at it carefully, and it's usually done over large swatches of source code which means that not every conversion gets tested. So I'm pulling the strscpy() support because it *is* a better interface. But I will refuse to pull mindless conversion patches. Use this in places where it makes sense, but don't do trivial patches to fix things that aren't actually known to be broken. * 'strscpy' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/cmetcalf/linux-tile: tile: use global strscpy() rather than private copy string: provide strscpy() Make asm/word-at-a-time.h available on all architectures
