x86, crc32-pclmul: Fix build with older binutils

2013-05-30T23:36:23+00:00

binutils prior to 2.18 (e.g. the ones found on SLE10) don't support assembling PEXTRD, so a macro based approach like the one for PCLMULQDQ in the same file should be used. This requires making the helper macros capable of recognizing 32-bit general purpose register operands.

Merge branch 'rwsem-optimizations'

2013-05-07T16:22:03+00:00

Merge rwsem optimizations from Michel Lespinasse: "These patches extend Alex Shi's work (which added write lock stealing on the rwsem slow path) in order to provide rwsem write lock stealing on the fast path (that is, without taking the rwsem's wait_lock). I have unfortunately been unable to push this through -next before due to Ingo Molnar / David Howells / Peter Zijlstra being busy with other things. However, this has gotten some attention from Rik van Riel and Davidlohr Bueso who both commented that they felt this was ready for v3.10, and Ingo Molnar has said that he was OK with me pushing directly to you.

x86 rwsem: avoid taking slow path when stealing write lock

2013-05-07T14:20:17+00:00

modify __down_write[_nested] and __down_write_trylock to grab the write lock whenever the active count is 0, even if there are queued waiters (they must be writers pending wakeup, since the active count is 0). Note that this is an optimization only; architectures without this optimization will still work fine: - __down_write() would take the slow path which would take the wait_lock and then try stealing the lock (as in the spinlocked rwsem implementation) - __down_write_trylock() would fail, but callers must be ready to deal with that - since there are some writers pending wakeup, they could have raced with us and obtained the lock before we steal it.

Pull IOMMU updates from Joerg Roedel: "The updates are mostly about the x86 IOMMUs this time.
