<content type='text'>
printk and friends can now format bitmaps using '%*pb[l]'.  cpumask
and nodemask also provide cpumask_pr_args() and nodemask_pr_args()
respectively which can be used to generate the two printf arguments
necessary to format the specified cpu/nodemask.

<title>tile: Replace __get_cpu_var uses</title>
<updated>2014-08-26T17:45:54Z</updated>

<link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='https://git.shady.money/linux/commit/?id=b4f501916ce2ae80c28017814d71d1bf83679271'/>
<id>urn:sha1:b4f501916ce2ae80c28017814d71d1bf83679271</id>
<content type='text'>
__get_cpu_var() is used for multiple purposes in the kernel source. One of
them is address calculation via the form &amp;__get_cpu_var(x).  This calculates
the address for the instance of the percpu variable of the current processor
based on an offset.

Other use cases are for storing and retrieving data from the current
processors percpu area.  __get_cpu_var() can be used as an lvalue when
writing data or on the right side of an assignment.

__get_cpu_var() is defined as :

#define __get_cpu_var(var) (*this_cpu_ptr(&amp;(var)))

__get_cpu_var() always only does an address determination. However, store
and retrieve operations could use a segment prefix (or global register on
other platforms) to avoid the address calculation.

this_cpu_write() and this_cpu_read() can directly take an offset into a
percpu area and use optimized assembly code to read and write per cpu
variables.

This patch converts __get_cpu_var into either an explicit address
calculation using this_cpu_ptr() or into a use of this_cpu operations that
use the offset.  Thereby address calculations are avoided and less registers
are used when code is generated.

At the end of the patch set all uses of __get_cpu_var have been removed so
the macro is removed too.

The patch set includes passes over all arches as well. Once these operations
are used throughout then specialized macros can be defined in non -x86
arches as well in order to optimize per cpu access by f.e.  using a global
register that may be set to the per cpu base.

Transformations done to __get_cpu_var()

1. Determine the address of the percpu instance of the current processor.

	DEFINE_PER_CPU(int, y);
	int *x = &amp;__get_cpu_var(y);

    Converts to

	int *x = this_cpu_ptr(&amp;y);

2. Same as #1 but this time an array structure is involved.

	DEFINE_PER_CPU(int, y[20]);
	int *x = __get_cpu_var(y);

    Converts to

	int *x = this_cpu_ptr(y);

3. Retrieve the content of the current processors instance of a per cpu
variable.

	DEFINE_PER_CPU(int, y);
	int x = __get_cpu_var(y)

   Converts to

	int x = __this_cpu_read(y);

4. Retrieve the content of a percpu struct

	DEFINE_PER_CPU(struct mystruct, y);
	struct mystruct x = __get_cpu_var(y);

   Converts to

	memcpy(&amp;x, this_cpu_ptr(&amp;y), sizeof(x));

5. Assignment to a per cpu variable

	DEFINE_PER_CPU(int, y)
	__get_cpu_var(y) = x;

   Converts to

	__this_cpu_write(y, x);

6. Increment/Decrement etc of a per cpu variable

	DEFINE_PER_CPU(int, y);
	__get_cpu_var(y)++

   Converts to

	__this_cpu_inc(y)

A config option to allow a variant vmap() using huge pages that was never
upstreamed had some bits of code related to it scattered around the tile
architecture; the config option was removed downstream and this commit
cleans up the scattered evidence of it from the upstream as well.

Pull Tile arch updates from Chris Metcalf:
 "These changes bring in a bunch of new functionality that has been
  maintained internally at Tilera over the last year, plus other stray
  bits of work that I've taken into the tile tree from other folks.

  The changes include some PCI root complex work, interrupt-driven
  console support, support for performing fast-path unaligned data
  fixups by kernel-based JIT code generation, CONFIG_PREEMPT support,
  vDSO support for gettimeofday(), a serial driver for the tilegx
  on-chip UART, KGDB support, more optimized string routines, support
  for ftrace and kprobes, improved ASLR, and many bug fixes.

  We also remove support for the old TILE64 chip, which is no longer
  buildable"
