Bhaktipriya Shridhar authored
The workqueue is being used to run deferred work for the android binder. The "binder_deferred_workqueue" queues only a single work item and hence does not require ordering. Also, this workqueue is not being used on a memory recliam path. Hence, the singlethreaded workqueue has been replaced with the use of system_wq. System workqueues have been able to handle high level of concurrency for a long time now and hence it's not required to have a singlethreaded workqueue just to gain concurrency. Unlike a dedicated per-cpu workqueue created with create_singlethread_workqueue(), system_wq allows multiple work items to overlap executions even on the same CPU; however, a per-cpu workqueue doesn't have any CPU locality or global ordering guarantee unless the target CPU is explicitly specified and thus the increase of local concurrency shouldn't make any difference.

SW_SYNC allows to run tests on the sync_file framework via debugfs on <debugfs>/sync/sw_sync Opening and closing the file triggers creation and release of a sync timeline. To create fences on this timeline the SW_SYNC_IOC_CREATE_FENCE ioctl should be used. To increment the timeline value use SW_SYNC_IOC_INC. Also it exports Sync information on <debugfs>/sync/info Signed-off-by: Gustavo Padovan <gustavo.padovan@collabora.co.uk> Reviewed-by: Eric Engestrom <eric.engestrom@imgtec.com> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org>

This interface is hidden from kernel headers and it is intended for use only for testing. So testers would have to add the ioctl information internally.

The map_dma API interface was designed to generate an sg_table. Currently, every client just creates the table at allocation time and then returns the one table. Nothing happens on unmap_dma either.

Restore the processor state before calling any other functions to ensure per-CPU variables can be used with KASLR memory randomization. Tracing functions use per-CPU variables (GS based on x86) and one was called just before restoring the processor state fully. It resulted in a double fault when both the tracing & the exception handler functions tried to use a per-CPU variable.
