      sh: Apply the sleazy FPU changes for SH-2A FPU as well. · 0f09e197
      Paul Mundt authored 
      This plugs in the fpu_counter manipulation for the SH-2A side also.

      sh: Minor optimisations to FPU handling · d3ea9fa0
      Stuart Menefy authored 
      A number of small optimisations to FPU handling, in particular:

 - move the task USEDFPU flag from the thread_info flags field (which
   is accessed asynchronously to the thread) to a new status field,
   which is only accessed by the thread itself. This allows locking to
   be removed in most cases, or can be reduced to a preempt_lock().
   This mimics the i386 behaviour.

 - move the modification of regs->sr and thread_info->status flags out
   of save_fpu() to __unlazy_fpu(). This gives the compiler a better
   chance to optimise things, as well as making save_fpu() symmetrical
   with restore_fpu() and init_fpu().

 - implement prepare_to_copy(), so that when creating a thread, we can
   unlazy the FPU prior to copying the thread data structures.

Also make sure that the FPU is disabled while in the kernel, in
particular while booting, and for newly created kernel threads,

In a very artificial benchmark, the execution time for 2500000
context switches was reduced from 50 to 45 seconds.

      sh: Improve performance of SH4 versions of copy/clear_user_highpage · 39ac11c1
      Stuart Menefy authored 
      The previous implementation of clear_user_highpage and copy_user_highpage
checked to see if there was a D-cache aliasing issue between the user
and kernel mappings of a page, but if there was they always did a
flush with writeback on the dirtied kernel alias.

However as we now have the ability to map a page into kernel space
with the same cache colour as the user mapping, there is no need to
write back this data.

Currently we also invalidate the kernel alias as a precaution, however
I'm not sure if this is actually required.

Also correct the definition of FIX_CMAP_END so that the mappings created
by kmap_coherent() are actually at the correct colour.

      sh: add sleazy FPU optimization · a0458b07
      Giuseppe CAVALLARO authored 
      sh port of the sLeAZY-fpu feature currently implemented for some architectures
such us i386.

Right now the SH kernel has a 100% lazy fpu behaviour.
This is of course great for applications that have very sporadic or no FPU use.
However for very frequent FPU users...  you take an extra trap every context
switch.
The patch below adds a simple heuristic to this code: after 5 consecutive
context switches of FPU use, the lazy behavior is disabled and the context
gets restored every context switch.
After 256 switches, this is reset and the 100% lazy behavior is returned.

Tests with LMbench showed no regression.
I saw a little improvement due to the prefetching (~2%).

The tests below also show that, with this sLeazy patch, indeed,
the number of FPU exceptions is reduced.
To test this. I hacked the lat_ctx LMBench to use the FPU a little more.

      ima: replace GFP_KERNEL with GFP_NOFS · c09c59e6
      Mimi Zohar authored 
      While running fsstress tests on the NFSv4 mounted ext3 and ext4
filesystem, the following call trace was generated on the nfs
server machine.

Replace GFP_KERNEL with GFP_NOFS in ima_iint_insert() to avoid a
potential deadlock.
