This series is being sent to both my work and upstream addresses -
please don't do that, send it to just one (normally my upstream one for
upstream work).

The file of-serial.txt was only for 8250 compatible UART implementations,
so renamed it to 8250.txt to avoid confusing other persons.
This is recommended by Arnd, see:

In-Reply-To: <Sharkl64-v3>

Spreadtrum is a rapid growing chip vendor providing smart phone total solutions.

Sharkl64 Platform is nominated as a SoC infrastructure that supports 4G/3G/2G
standards based on ARMv8 multiple core architecture.Now we have only one
SoC(SC9836) based on this Platform in developing.

This patchset adds Sharkl64 support in arm64 device tree and the serial driver
of SC9836-UART.

This patchset also has patches which address "sprd" prefix and DT compatible
strings for nodes which appear un-documented.

This version code was tesed on Fast Mode.
We use boot-wrapper-aarch64 as the bootloader.

Changes from v2:
* Addressed review comments:
	- Added a specific compitible string 'sc9836-uart' for the serial
	- Added a full serial driver
	- Added the property 'clock-frequency' for timer node in dtsi.
	- Replaceed the old macro prefix 'UART_' with 'SPRD_' in the 
	  Spreadtrum serial driver code.
* Revised the name of SoC and board from 'sharkl3' to 'sc9836'
* Used dual-license for DTS files
* Added a menuconfig 'ARCH_SPRD' in arch/arm64/Kconfig

Changes from v1:
* Addressed review comments:
        - Added "sprd" prefix to vendor-prefixes.txt
        - Created serial/sprd-serial.txt and remove the properties for serial-sprd
          from of-serial.txt to it.
        - Renamed of-serial.txt to 8250.txt according to Arnd's review comments
        - Splited and revised .dts for Sharkl64 Platform
        - Changed to PSCI method for cpu power management
        - Revised Kconfig Makefile to match the alphabetical ordering
        - Renamed serial-sprd-earlycon.c to serial-sprd.c

For some reason I had a stale copy of
arch/x86/include/generated/asm/unistd_32.h and it was using that in
preference to the arch/x86/include/generated/uapi/asm/unistd_32.h file.
Once I did ran:

	arch/x86/include/generated/ -rf

Then it builds now.

I'm not sure what that's all about but it's fixed now.

Is there a way for us to identify if the lock is contended?
Because it may not be prudent to allow a task to borrow timeslice for a
lock which isnt contended.

Entirely compile out splice translation unit when the system is configured
without splice family of syscalls (i.e. CONFIG_SYSCALL_SPLICE is undefined).

Exported fs/splice functions are transparently mocked out with static inlines.
Because userspace support for splice has already been removed by this
patch-set, the exported functions cannot be called anyway. Mocking them out
prevents a maintenance burden on file system drivers.

The bloat score resulting from this patch given a tinyconfig is:

* [PATCH v5 6/7] fs/nfsd: support compiling out splice

The goal of the larger patch set is to completely compile out fs/splice, and
as a result, splice support for all file-systems. This patch ensures that
fs/nfsd falls back to non-splice fs support when CONFIG_SYSCALL_SPLICE is
undefined.

In-Reply-To: <1416899996-21315-1-git-send-email-pieter-qeJ+1H9vRZbz+pZb47iToQ@public.gmane.org>

To implement splice support, net/core makes use of nosteal_pipe_buf_ops. This
struct is exported by fs/splice. The goal of the larger patch set is to
completely compile out fs/splice, so uses of the exported struct need to be
compiled out along with fs/splice.

This patch therefore compiles out splice support in net/core when
CONFIG_SYSCALL_SPLICE is undefined. The compiled out function skb_splice_bits
is transparently mocked out with a static inline. The greater patch set removes
userspace splice support so it cannot be called anyway.

* [PATCH v5 4/7] fs/fuse: support compiling out splice

To implement splice support, fs/fuse makes use of nosteal_pipe_buf_ops. This
struct is exported by fs/splice. The goal of the larger patch set is to
completely compile out fs/splice, so uses of the exported struct need to be
compiled out along with fs/splice.

This patch therefore compiles out splice support in fs/fuse when
CONFIG_SYSCALL_SPLICE is undefined.

* [PATCH v5 3/7] fs/splice: support compiling out splice-family syscalls

Many embedded systems will not need the splice-family syscalls (splice,
vmsplice, tee and sendfile). Omitting them saves space.  This adds a new EXPERT
config option CONFIG_SYSCALL_SPLICE (default y) to support compiling them out.

The goal is to completely compile out fs/splice along with the syscalls. To
achieve this, the remaining patch-set will deal with fs/splice exports. As far
as possible, the impact on other device drivers will be minimized so as to
reduce the overal maintenance burden of CONFIG_SYSCALL_SPLICE.

The use of exported functions will be solved by transparently mocking them out
with static inlines. Uses of the exported pipe_buf_operations struct however
require direct modification in fs/fuse and net/core. The next two patches will
deal with this.

The last change required before fs/splice can be comipled out is making fs/nfsd
aware of the lacking splice support in file-systems when CONFIG_SYSCALL_SPLICE
is undefined.

The bloat benefit of this patch given a tinyconfig is:

kernel_write shares infrastructure with the read_write translation unit but not
with the splice translation unit. Grouping kernel_write with the read_write
translation unit is more logical. It also paves the way to compiling out the
splice group of syscalls for embedded systems that do not need them.

* [PATCH v5 0/7] kernel tinification: optionally compile out splice family of syscalls (splice, vmsplice, tee and sendfile)

REPO: https://github.com/smipi1/linux-tinification.git

BRANCH: tiny/config-syscall-splice

BACKGROUND: This patch-set forms part of the Linux Kernel Tinification effort (
  https://tiny.wiki.kernel.org/).

GOAL: Support compiling out the splice family of syscalls (splice, vmsplice,
  tee and sendfile) along with all supporting infrastructure if not needed.
  Many embedded systems will not need the splice-family syscalls. Omitting them
  saves space.

HISTORY:
  PATCH v5:
    - Fix up commit log still refering to dropped __splice_p()

  PATCH v4:
    - Drops __splice_p()
    - Let nfsd fall back to non-splice support when splice is compiled out
    - Style fixes
  
  PATCH v3:
    - Fixup commit logs so that they are consistent with patch strategy
    - Style fixes
  
  PATCH v2:
    - Avoid the ifdef mess introduced in PATCH v1 by mocking out exported splice
      functions.

STRATEGY:
a. With the goal of eventually compiling out fs/splice.c, several functions
   that are only used in support of the the splice family of syscalls are moved
   into fs/splice.c from fs/read_write.c. The kernel_write function that is not
   used to support the splice syscalls is moved to fs/read_write.c.

b. Introduce an EXPERT kernel configuration option; CONFIG_SYSCALL_SPLICE; to
   compile out the splice family of syscalls. This removes all userspace uses
   of the splice infrastructure.

c. Splice exports an operations struct, nosteal_pipe_buf_ops. Eliminate the 
   uses of this struct when CONFIG_SYSCALL_SPLICE is undefined, so that splice
   can later be compiled out.

d. Let nfsd fall back to non-splice support when splice is compiled out.

e. Compile out fs/splice.c. Functions exported by fs/splice are mocked out with
   failing static inlines. This is done so as to all but eliminate the
   maintenance burden on file-system drivers.

RESULTS: A tinyconfig bloat-o-meter score for the entire patch-set:

No, not really. Spinlocks are still very useful on bare metal.
Virtualization is not the only thing out there.

It culminates in a lumbering pseudo RT class of task disguised as a fair
class task.  I'd expect more gain by twiddling knobs to let last buddy
do its job than the 3% mentioned.

You could perhaps create a SUPER_BATCH class that is not wakeup
preempted by any fair class task of <= priority, not only BATCH and
IDLE, but that's as nasty as this patch, though loads prettier.  The
tick time thing doesn't feel right at all... if you're hurt badly by the
tick, you're likely holding the lock too long methinks.

Probably, or perhaps userspace fair locks. If the task that is next in
line to acquire the lock is preempted and the lock is released, fairness
prevents anyone else from taking it instead.

Why don't the other tasks that want the lock sleep on the
lock?

I can see this "solution" help mostly with userspace spinlocks,
which are relics of a past era that need to die. There is no
way userspace spinlocks will not fail miserably on virtual
machines, and it is time to get rid of them.

I replied to one patch with a minor nit in the commit message.  Other
than that, I don't see any obvious issues with this.

While you are niftily avoiding to talk about the nature of the lock, I
can take it for granted that you are talking about user space
spinlocks, right?

Simply if you would talk about futexes and pthread_mutexes then it
would have occured to you while implementing that feature, that the
kernel already has a mechanism to record a reference to a user space
data structure (robust_list_head) which is updated when a futex is
acquired in user space, i.e. when a critical section is entered. It's
not the same as you need, but it would be relatively simple to convey
that information there.

So what are the actual lock types and use cases and why can't you
combine that with the existing robust list mechanism?

No. First of all this wants to be a proper struct declaration outside
of task_struct.

Aside of that your user space side is actually a structure and not a
opaque u32 pointer, so this should be an explicit data type and not
something randomly defined in the guts of task_struct.

Can you please get rid of the leftovers of your previous patches

Sigh. We do not sprinkle that kind of #ifdef crap all over the

So what happens if:

   kernel.preempt_delay_available = 1;
   
   prctl(PR_SET_PREEMPT_DELAY, ...);

   kernel.preempt_delay_available = 0;

Nothing happens at all because you fail to give the sysop control over
the feature once you unleashed it.

The proper solution for this is to use a static key to control the
feature itself. That also reduces the overhead for those who are not
interested in that.

check_preempt_tick() clearly does not care about that, but you inflict
a smp_processor_id() on every caller. I can see that you really care
about performance.

Why on earth do we need two flags here? Just because we can create
more code in the guts of the scheduler hot pathes that way?

And surely we want to put them into two adjacent u8 to make life
easier for all architectures.

This is the completely wrong argument. We know that the task was
asking for an extra time slice because the copy from user above
succeeded. So we are better of to let the task actually handle its
pagefault than scheduling it out.

Sigh.

And all of this needs to be in kernel/sys.c just because...

So 4 bytes is a perfect boundary for everyone, right? Pulled that
number out of thin air or what?

Brilliant comment. I can see what the code is doing. What's way more
interesting and of course undocumented is why you are ignoring the
return value of put_user() ..

Aside of the general issues I have with this (see the inline replies
to your changelog) the overall impression of this patch is that it is
a half baken and carelessly cobbled together extract of some data base
specific kernel hackery, which I prefer not to see at all.

Thanks,
