Subject: [PATCH v3 0/8] powerpc/vdso32 enhancement and optimisation

This series:
- adds getcpu() on non SMP ppc32
- adds coarse clocks in clock_gettime
- fixes and adds all clocks in clock_getres
- optimises the retrieval of the datapage address
- optimises the cache functions

v3:
- Dropped the 'fast syscall' hack for getcpu() on SMP.
- Moved get_datapage macro into asm/vdso_datapage.h so that it can be used on PPC64 as well.

v2:
- Used named labels in patch 2
- Added patch from Vincenzo to fix clock_getres() (patch 3)
- Removed unnecessary label in patch 4 as suggested by Segher
- Added patches 5 to 8

Christophe Leroy (8):
powerpc/32: Add VDSO version of getcpu on non SMP
powerpc/vdso32: Add support for CLOCK_{REALTIME/MONOTONIC}_COARSE
powerpc: Fix vDSO clock_getres()
powerpc/vdso32: inline __get_datapage()
powerpc/vdso32: Don't read cache line size from the datapage on PPC32.
powerpc/vdso32: use LOAD_REG_IMMEDIATE()
powerpc/vdso32: implement clock_getres entirely
powerpc/vdso32: miscellaneous optimisations

Subject: [PATCH v3 4/8] powerpc/vdso32: inline __get_datapage()

__get_datapage() is only a few instructions to retrieve the
address of the page where the kernel stores data to the VDSO.

By inlining this function into its users, a bl/blr pair and
a mflr/mtlr pair is avoided, plus a few reg moves.

The improvement is noticeable (about 55 nsec/call on an 8xx)

vdsotest before the patch:
gettimeofday: vdso: 731 nsec/call
clock-gettime-realtime-coarse: vdso: 668 nsec/call
clock-gettime-monotonic-coarse: vdso: 745 nsec/call

vdsotest after the patch:
gettimeofday: vdso: 677 nsec/call
clock-gettime-realtime-coarse: vdso: 613 nsec/call
clock-gettime-monotonic-coarse: vdso: 690 nsec/call

Subject: [PATCH v3 1/8] powerpc/32: Add VDSO version of getcpu on non SMP

Commit 18ad51dd342a ("powerpc: Add VDSO version of getcpu") added
getcpu() for PPC64 only, by making use of a user readable general
purpose SPR.

PPC32 doesn't have any such SPR.

For non SMP, just return CPU id 0 from the VDSO directly.
PPC32 doesn't support CONFIG_NUMA so NUMA node is always 0.

Before the patch, vdsotest reported:
getcpu: syscall: 1572 nsec/call
getcpu: libc: 1787 nsec/call
getcpu: vdso: not tested

Now, vdsotest reports:
getcpu: syscall: 1582 nsec/call
getcpu: libc: 502 nsec/call
getcpu: vdso: 187 nsec/call

Signed-off-by: Christophe Leroy <[email protected]>

v2: fixed build error in getcpu.S
v3: dropped the fast system call, only support non SMP for now.

Subject: [PATCH v3 7/8] powerpc/vdso32: implement clock_getres entirely

clock_getres returns hrtimer_res for all clocks but coarse ones
for which it returns KTIME_LOW_RES.

return EINVAL for unknown clocks.

Subject: [PATCH v3 3/8] powerpc: Fix vDSO clock_getres()

From: Vincenzo Frascino <[email protected]>

clock_getres in the vDSO library has to preserve the same behaviour
of posix_get_hrtimer_res().

In particular, posix_get_hrtimer_res() does:
sec = 0;
ns = hrtimer_resolution;
and hrtimer_resolution depends on the enablement of the high
resolution timers that can happen either at compile or at run time.

Fix the powerpc vdso implementation of clock_getres keeping a copy of
hrtimer_resolution in vdso data and using that directly.

Fixes: a7f290dad32e ("[PATCH] powerpc: Merge vdso's and add vdso support
to 32 bits kernel")

This broke on 64-bit big endian, which uses the 32-bit VDSO, with errors

The diff below seems to fix it, but I'm not sure it's correct. ie. we
just ignore the top part of the values, how does that work?

Your change makes sense, it is consistent with other functions using
STAMP_XTIME.

It works because nanoseconds are max 999999999, it fits 32 bits regs.

Yeah, but for seconds? I guess this is the whole Y2038 problem, though
I'm not clear how it's going to work for compat.

Anyway I'll squash that in and get this merged.

This doesn't build with gcc 4.6.3:

Actually I guess it's binutils, which is v2.22 in this case.

Needed this:

Are you still planning to getting this series merged ? Do you need any
help / rebase / re-spin ?

v3 conflicts with 2038 cleanup series from Arnd merged yesterday by
Linus (ceb307474506 ("Merge tag 'y2038-cleanups-5.5' of
git://git.kernel.org:/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/arnd/playground"))

Not seen your Ack in that series.

I sent out v4 of my series, rebased on top of 2038 cleanup series.
