Timofey Titovets 440c840cb4 Btrfs: compression heuristic: replace heap sort with radix sort
Slowest part of heuristic for now is kernel heap sort()
It's can take up to 55% of runtime on sorting bucket items.

As sorting will always call on most data sets to get correctly
byte_core_set_size, the only way to speed up heuristic, is to
speed up sort on bucket.

Add a general radix_sort function.
Radix sort require 2 buffers, one full size of input array
and one for store counters (jump addresses).

That increase usage per heuristic workspace +1KiB
8KiB + 1KiB -> 8KiB + 2KiB

That is LSD Radix, i use 4 bit as a base for calculating,
to make counters array acceptable small (16 elements * 8 byte).

That Radix sort implementation have several points to adjust,
I added him to make radix sort general usable in kernel,
like heap sort, if needed.

Performance tested in userspace copy of heuristic code,
throughput:
    - average <-> random data: ~3500 MiB/s - heap  sort
    - average <-> random data: ~6000 MiB/s - radix sort

README

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
