Instead of taking the spinlock, the lockless versions atomically check
that the lock is not taken, and do the reference count update using a
cmpxchg() loop. This is semantically identical to doing the reference
count update protected by the lock, but avoids the "wait for lock"
contention that you get when accesses to the reference count are
contended.
Note that a "lockref" is absolutely _not_ equivalent to an atomic_t.
Even when the lockref reference counts are updated atomically with
cmpxchg, the fact that they also verify the state of the spinlock means
that the lockless updates can never happen while somebody else holds the
spinlock.
So while "lockref_put_or_lock()" looks a lot like just another name for
"atomic_dec_and_lock()", and both optimize to lockless updates, they are
fundamentally different: the decrement done by atomic_dec_and_lock() is
truly independent of any lock (as long as it doesn't decrement to zero),
so a locked region can still see the count change.
The lockref structure, in contrast, really is a *locked* reference
count. If you hold the spinlock, the reference count will be stable and
you can modify the reference count without using atomics, because even
the lockless updates will see and respect the state of the lock.
In order to enable the cmpxchg lockless code, the architecture needs to
do three things:
(1) Make sure that the "arch_spinlock_t" and an "unsigned int" can fit
in an aligned u64, and have a "cmpxchg()" implementation that works
on such a u64 data type.
(2) define a helper function to test for a spinlock being unlocked
("arch_spin_value_unlocked()")
(3) select the "ARCH_USE_CMPXCHG_LOCKREF" config variable in its
Kconfig file.
This enables it for x86-64 (but not 32-bit, we'd need to make sure
cmpxchg() turns into the proper cmpxchg8b in order to enable it for
32-bit mode).

They aren't very good to inline, since they already call external

In order to better respond to things like duplicate invocations
of call_rcu(), RCU needs to see the status of a call to
debug_object_activate(). This would allow RCU to leak the callback in
order to avoid adding freelist-reuse mischief to the duplicate invoations.
This commit therefore makes debug_object_activate() return status,
zero for success and -EINVAL for failure.

The comments of find_cpio_data() says:
* @offset: When a matching file is found, this is the offset to the
* beginning of the cpio. ......
But according to the code,
dptr = PTR_ALIGN(p + ch[C_NAMESIZE], 4);
nptr = PTR_ALIGN(dptr + ch[C_FILESIZE], 4);
....
*offset = (long)nptr - (long)data; /* data is the cpio file */
@offset is the offset of the next file, not the matching file itself.
This is confused and may cause unnecessary waste of time to debug.
So fix it.
As Tejun Heo suggested, rename @offset to @nextoff which is more clear
to users. And also adjust the new comments.

Implement debugging for kobject release functions. kobjects are
reference counted, so the drop of the last reference to them is not
predictable. However, the common case is for the last reference to be
the kobject's removal from a subsystem, which results in the release
function being immediately called.
This can hide subtle bugs, which can occur when another thread holds a
reference to the kobject at the same time that a kobject is removed.
This results in the release method being delayed.
In order to make these kinds of problems more visible, the following
patch implements a delayed release; this has the effect that the
release function will be out of order with respect to the removal of
the kobject in the same manner that it would be if a reference was
being held.
This provides us with an easy way to allow driver writers to debug
their drivers and fix otherwise hidden problems.

Comments from Ard Biesheuvel:
I have included two use cases that I have been using, XOR and RAID-6
checksumming. The former gets a 60% performance boost on the NEON, the
latter over 400%.
ARM: add support for kernel mode NEON
Adds kernel_neon_begin/end (renamed from kernel_vfp_begin/end in the
previous version to de-emphasize the VFP part as VFP code that needs
software assistance is not supported currently.)
Introduces <asm/neon.h> and the Kconfig symbol KERNEL_MODE_NEON. This
has been aligned with Catalin for arm64, so any NEON code that does
not use assembly but intrinsics or the GCC vectorizer (such as my
examples) can potentially be shared between arm and arm64 archs.
ARM: move VFP init to an earlier boot stage
This is needed so the NEON is enabled when the XOR and RAID-6 algo
boot time benchmarks are run.
ARM: be strict about FP exceptions in kernel mode
This adds a check to vfp_support_entry() to flag unsupported uses of
the NEON/VFP in kernel mode. FP exceptions (bounces) are flagged as
a bug, this is because of their potentially intermittent nature.
Exceptions caused by the fact that kernel_neon_begin has not been
called are just routed through the undef handler.
ARM: crypto: add NEON accelerated XOR implementation
This is the xor_blocks() implementation built with -ftree-vectorize,
60% faster than optimized ARM code. It calls in_interrupt() to check
whether the NEON flavor can be used: this should really not be
necessary, but due to xor_blocks'squite generic nature, there is no
telling how exactly people may be using it in the real world.
lib/raid6: add ARM-NEON accelerated syndrome calculation
This is a port of the RAID-6 checksumming code in altivec.uc ported
to use NEON intrinsics. It is about 4x faster than the sequential
code.
Remove the compile warning for __udiv_qrnnd not having a prototype.
Use the __builtin_alpha_umulh introduced in gcc 4.0.

The __cpuinit type of throwaway sections might have made sense
some time ago when RAM was more constrained, but now the savings
do not offset the cost and complications. For example, the fix in
commit 5e427ec2d0 ("x86: Fix bit corruption at CPU resume time")
is a good example of the nasty type of bugs that can be created
with improper use of the various __init prefixes.
After a discussion on LKML[1] it was decided that cpuinit should go
the way of devinit and be phased out. Once all the users are gone,
we can then finally remove the macros themselves from linux/init.h.
This removes all the uses of the __cpuinit macros from C files in
the core kernel directories (kernel, init, lib, mm, and include)
that don't really have a specific maintainer.

1. This is mostly theoretical, but llist_add*() need ACCESS_ONCE().
Otherwise it is not guaranteed that the first cmpxchg() uses the
same value for old_entry and new_last->next.
2. These helpers cache the result of cmpxchg() and read the initial
value of head->first before the main loop. I do not think this
makes sense. In the likely case cmpxchg() succeeds, otherwise
it doesn't hurt to reload head->first.
I think it would be better to simplify the code and simply read
->first before cmpxchg().

- Latest patch set for LZO applied
This patch set is for adding support for LZ4-compressed Kernel. LZ4 is a
very fast lossless compression algorithm and it also features an extremely
fast decoder [1].
But we have five of decompressors already and one question which does
arise, however, is that of where do we stop adding new ones? This issue
had been discussed and came to the conclusion [2].
Russell King said that we should have:
- one decompressor which is the fastest
- one decompressor for the highest compression ratio
- one popular decompressor (eg conventional gzip)
If we have a replacement one for one of these, then it should do exactly
that: replace it.
The benchmark shows that an 8% increase in image size vs a 66% increase
in decompression speed compared to LZO(which has been known as the
fastest decompressor in the Kernel). Therefore the "fast but may not be
small" compression title has clearly been taken by LZ4 [3].

lguest: fix CONFIG_PAE -> CONFIG_x86_PAE in comment
...
Merge Kconfig menu diet patches from Dave Hansen:
"I think the "Kernel Hacking" menu has gotten a bit out of hand. It is
over 120 lines long on my system with everything enabled and options
are scattered around it haphazardly.
http://sr71.net/~dave/linux/kconfig-horror.png
Let's try to introduce some sanity. This set takes that 120 lines
down to 55 and makes it vastly easier to find some things. It's a
start.
This set stands on its own, but there is plenty of room for follow-up
patches. The arch-specific debug options still end up getting stuck
in the top-level "kernel hacking" menu. OPTIMIZE_INLINING, for
instance, could obviously go in to the "compiler options" menu, but
the fact that it is defined in arch/ in a separate Kconfig file keeps
it on its own for the moment.
The Signed-off-by's in here look funky. I changed employers while
working on this set, so I have signoffs from both email addresses"
* emailed patches from Dave Hansen <dave@sr71.net>:
hang and lockup detection menu
kconfig: consolidate printk options
group locking debugging options
consolidate compilation option configs
consolidate runtime testing configs
order memory debugging Kconfig options
consolidate per-arch stack overflow debugging options
The hard/softlockup and hung-task entries take up 6 lines
of screen real-estate when enabled. I bet folks don't
mess with these _that_ often, so move them in a group
down a level.

Same deal, take the printk-related things and hide them in a menu.
This takes another 4 items out of the top-level menu.

There are quite a few of these, and we want to make sure that
there is one-stop-shopping for lock debugging.

Again, trying to come up with some common themes of the stuff in
the kernel hacking menu... There are quite a few options to
tweak compilation in some way, or perform extra compile-time
checks. Give them their own menu.
The diff here looks a bit funny... makes it look like I'm
moving debugfs even though I'm actually moving the options on
either side of it.

These runtime tests are great, except that there are a lot of them,
and they are very rarely needed. Give them their own menu so that
only the folks who need them will have to go looking for them.
Note that there are some other runtime tests that are not in here,
like for RCU or locking. This menu should only be used for tests
that do not have a more appropriate home.
