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 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.

Different CPUs will have different starting vectors, with varying
amounts of reserved or unusable vector space prior to the first slot.
This introduces a legacy vector reservation system that inserts itself in
between the CPU vector map registration and the platform specific IRQ
setup. This works fine in practice as the only new vectors that boards
need to establish on their own should be dynamically allocated rather
than arbitrarily assigned. As a plus, this also makes all of the

When CONFIG_FUNCTION_GRAPH_TRACER is enabled the function graph tracer
may patch return addresses on the stack with the address of
return_to_handler(). This really confuses the DWARF unwinder because it
will try find the caller of return_to_handler(), not the caller of the
real return address.
So teach the DWARF unwinder how to find the real return address whenever
it encounters return_to_handler().
This patch does not cope very well when multiple return addresses on the
stack have been patched. To make it work properly it would require state
to track how many return_to_handler()'s have been seen so that we'd know
where to look in current->curr_ret_stack[]. So for now, instead of

This does a bit of chainsawing of the idle loop code to get light sleep
working on SMP. Previously this was forcing secondary CPUs in to sleep
mode with them not coming back if they didn't have their own local
timers. Given that we use clockevents broadcasting by default, the CPU
managing the clockevents can't have IRQs disabled before entering its
sleep state.
This unfortunately leaves us with the age-old need_resched() race in
between local_irq_enable() and cpu_sleep(), but at present this is
unavoidable. After some more experimentation it may be possible to layer
on SR.BL bit manipulation over top of this scheme to inhibit the race
condition, but given the current potential for missing wakeups, this is

Meaning receive multiple messages, reducing the number of syscalls and
net stack entry/exit operations.
Next patches will introduce mechanisms where protocols that want to
optimize this operation will provide an unlocked_recvmsg operation.
This takes into account comments made by:
. Paul Moore: sock_recvmsg is called only for the first datagram,
sock_recvmsg_nosec is used for the rest.
. Caitlin Bestler: recvmmsg now has a struct timespec timeout, that
works in the same fashion as the ppoll one.
If the underlying protocol returns a datagram with MSG_OOB set, this
will make recvmmsg return right away with as many datagrams (+ the OOB
one) it has received so far.
. Rémi Denis-Courmont & Steven Whitehouse: If we receive N < vlen
datagrams and then recvmsg returns an error, recvmmsg will return
the successfully received datagrams, store the error and return it
in the next call.
This paves the way for a subsequent optimization, sk_prot->unlocked_recvmsg,
where we will be able to acquire the lock only at batch start and end, not at
every underlying recvmsg call.

Bye-bye Performance Counters, welcome Performance Events!
In the past few months the perfcounters subsystem has grown out its
initial role of counting hardware events, and has become (and is
becoming) a much broader generic event enumeration, reporting, logging,
monitoring, analysis facility.
Naming its core object 'perf_counter' and naming the subsystem
'perfcounters' has become more and more of a misnomer. With pending
code like hw-breakpoints support the 'counter' name is less and
less appropriate.
All in one, we've decided to rename the subsystem to 'performance
events' and to propagate this rename through all fields, variables
and API names. (in an ABI compatible fashion)
The word 'event' is also a bit shorter than 'counter' - which makes
it slightly more convenient to write/handle as well.
Thanks goes to Stephane Eranian who first observed this misnomer and
suggested a rename.
User-space tooling and ABI compatibility is not affected - this patch
should be function-invariant. (Also, defconfigs were not touched to
keep the size down.)

... to keep it as correct as possible. This script can also be
used by anyone who has pending perfcounters patches - it converts
a Linux kernel tree over to the new naming. We tried to time this
change to the point in time where the amount of pending patches
is the smallest: the end of the merge window.
Namespace clashes were fixed up in a preparatory patch - and some
stylistic fallout will be fixed up in a subsequent patch.
( NOTE: 'counters' are still the proper terminology when we deal
with hardware registers - and these sed scripts are a bit
over-eager in renaming them. I've undone some of that, but
in case there's something left where 'counter' would be
better than 'event' we can undo that on an individual basis
instead of touching an otherwise nicely automated patch. )
