bitmap and its derivatives such as cpumask and nodemask currently only provide formatting functions which put the output string into the provided buffer; however, how long this buffer should be isn't defined anywhere and given that some of these bitmaps can be too large to be formatted into an on-stack buffer it users sometimes are unnecessarily forced to come up with creative solutions and compromises for the buffer just to printk these bitmaps. There have been a couple different attempts at making this easier. 1. Way back, PeterZ tried printk '%pb' extension with the precision for bit width - '%.*pb'. This was intuitive and made sense but unfortunately triggered a compile warning about using precision for a pointer. http://lkml.kernel.org/g/1336577562.2527.58.camel@twins 2. I implemented bitmap_pr_cont[_list]() and its wrappers for cpumask and nodemask. This works but PeterZ pointed out that pr_cont's tendency to produce broken lines when multiple CPUs are printing is bothering considering the usages. http://lkml.kernel.org/g/1418226774-30215-3-git-send-email-tj@kernel.org So, this patch is another attempt at teaching printk and friends how to print bitmaps. It's almost identical to what PeterZ tried with precision but it uses the field width for the number of bits instead of precision. The format used is '%*pb[l]', with the optional trailing 'l' specifying list format instead of hex masks. This is a valid format string and doesn't trigger compiler warnings; however, it does make it impossible to specify output field width when printing bitmaps. I think this is an acceptable trade-off given how much easier it makes printing bitmaps and that we don't have any in-kernel user which is using the field width specification. If any future user wants to use field width with a bitmap, it'd have to format the bitmap into a string buffer and then print that buffer with width spec, which isn't different from how it should be done now. This patch implements bitmap[_list]_string() which are called from the vsprintf pointer() formatting function. The implementation is mostly identical to bitmap_scn[list]printf() except that the output is performed in the vsprintf way. These functions handle formatting into too small buffers and sprintf() family of functions report the correct overrun output length. bitmap_scn[list]printf() are now thin wrappers around scnprintf().

bitmap implements two variants of scnprintf functions to format a bitmap into a string and cpumask and nodemask wrap them to provide equivalent interfaces. The scnprintf family of functions require a string buffer as an output target which complicates code paths which just want to print out the mask through printk for informational or debug purposes as they have to worry about how large the buffer should be and whether it's too large to allocate on stack. Neither cpumask or nodemask provides a guildeline on how large the target buffer should be forcing users come up with their own solutions - some allocate an arbitrarily sized buffer which is small enough to allocate on stack but may be too short in corner cases, other come up with a custom upper limit calculation considering the output format, some allocate the buffer dynamically while one resorted to using lock to synchronize access to a static buffer. This is an artificial problem which is being solved repeatedly for no benefit. In a lot of cases, the output area already exists and can be targeted directly making the intermediate buffer unnecessary. This patchset teaches printf family of functions how to format bitmaps and replace the dedicated formatting functions with it. Pointer formatting is extended to cover bitmap formatting. It uses the field width for the number of bits instead of precision. The format used is '%*pb[l]', with the optional trailing 'l' specifying list format instead of hex masks. For more details, please see 0002. This patch (of 31): Currently, the formatting and parsing functions in cpumask.h use nr_cpumask_bits like other cpumask functions; however, nr_cpumask_bits is either NR_CPUS or nr_cpu_ids depending on CONFIG_CPUMASK_OFFSTACK. This leads to inconsistent behaviors. With CONFIG_NR_CPUS=512 and !CONFIG_CPUMASK_OFFSTACK # cat /sys/devices/virtual/net/lo/queues/rx-0/rps_cpus 00000000,00000000,00000000,00000000,00000000,00000000,00000000,00000000,00000000,00000000,00000000,00000000,00000000,00000000,00000000,00000000 # cat /proc/self/status | grep Cpus_allowed: Cpus_allowed: f With CONFIG_NR_CPUS=1024 and CONFIG_CPUMASK_OFFSTACK (fedora default) # cat /sys/devices/virtual/net/lo/queues/rx-0/rps_cpus 0 # cat /proc/self/status | grep Cpus_allowed: Cpus_allowed: f Note that /proc/self/status is always using nr_cpu_ids regardless of config. This is because seq cpumask formattings functions always use nr_cpu_ids. Given that the same output fields may switch between the two forms, converging on nr_cpu_ids always isn't too likely to surprise userland. This patch updates the formatting and parsing functions in cpumask.h to always use nr_cpu_ids. There's no point in dealing with CPUs which aren't even possible on the machine.

Instead of potentially passing over the string twice in case c is not found, just keep track of the last occurrence.

When a new kernfs node is created, KERNFS_STATIC_NAME is used to avoid making a separate copy of its name. It's currently only used for sysfs attributes whose filenames are required to stay accessible and unchanged. There are rare exceptions where these names are allocated and formatted dynamically but for the vast majority of cases they're consts in the rodata section. Now that kernfs is converted to use kstrdup_const() and kfree_const(), there's little point in keeping KERNFS_STATIC_NAME around. Remove it.

kstrdup() is often used to duplicate strings where neither source neither destination will be ever modified. In such case we can just reuse the source instead of duplicating it. The problem is that we must be sure that the source is non-modifiable and its life-time is long enough. I suspect the good candidates for such strings are strings located in kernel .rodata section, they cannot be modifed because the section is read-only and their life-time is equal to kernel life-time. This small patchset proposes alternative version of kstrdup - kstrdup_const, which returns source string if it is located in .rodata otherwise it fallbacks to kstrdup. To verify if the source is in .rodata function checks if the address is between sentinels __start_rodata, __end_rodata. I guess it should work with all architectures. The main patch is accompanied by four patches constifying kstrdup for cases where situtation described above happens frequently. I have tested the patchset on mobile platform (exynos4210-trats) and it saves 3272 string allocations. Since minimal allocation is 32 or 64 bytes depending on Kconfig options the patchset saves respectively about 100KB or 200KB of memory. Stats from tested platform show that the main offender is sysfs: By caller: 2260 __kernfs_new_node 631 clk_register+0xc8/0x1b8 318 clk_register+0x34/0x1b8 51 kmem_cache_create 12 alloc_vfsmnt By string (with count >= 5): 883 power 876 subsystem 135 parameters 132 device 61 iommu_group ... This patch (of 5): Add an alternative version of kstrdup which returns pointer to constant char array. The function checks if input string is in persistent and read-only memory section, if yes it returns the input string, otherwise it fallbacks to kstrdup. kstrdup_const is accompanied by kfree_const performing conditional memory deallocation of the string.

Commit 8f243af4 ("sections: fix const sections for crc32 table") removed the compile-time generated crc32 tables from the RO sections, because it conflicts with the definition of __cacheline_aligned which puts all such aligned data into .data..cacheline_aligned section optimized for wasting less space, and can cause alignment issues when used in combination with const with some gcc versions like 4.7.0 due to a gcc bug [1]. Given that most gcc versions should have the fix by now, we can just use ____cacheline_aligned, which only aligns the data but doesn't move it into specific sections as opposed to __cacheline_aligned. In case of gcc versions having the mentioned bug, the alignment attribute will have no effect, but the data will still be made RO. After patch tables are in RO: $ nm -v lib/crc32.o | grep -1 -E "crc32c?table" 0000000000000000 t arch_local_irq_enable 0000000000000000 r crc32ctable_le 0000000000000000 t crc32_exit -- 0000000000000960 t test_buf 0000000000002000 r crc32table_be 0000000000004000 r crc32table_le 000000001d1056e5 A __crc_crc32_be [1] https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=52181Signed-off-by: Daniel Borkmann <dborkman@redhat.com> Cc: Joe Mario <jmario@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

The first of these conditionals is completely redundant: If k == lim-1, we must have off==0, so the second conditional will also trigger and then it wouldn't matter if upper had some high bits set. But the second conditional is in fact also redundant, since it only serves to clear out some high-order "don't care" bits of dst, about which no guarantee is made.

We can shift the bits from lower and upper into place before assembling dst[k + off]; moving the shift of lower into the branch where we already know that rem is non-zero allows us to remove a conditional.

gcc can generate slightly better code for stuff like "nbits % BITS_PER_LONG" when it knows nbits is not negative. Since negative size bitmaps or shift amounts don't make sense, change these parameters of bitmap_shift_right to unsigned. If off >= lim (which requires shift >= nbits), k is initialized with a large positive value, but since I've let k continue to be signed, the loop will never run and dst will be zeroed as expected. Inside the loop, k is guaranteed to be non-negative, so the fact that it is promoted to unsigned in the various expressions it appears in is harmless. Also use "shift" and "nbits" consistently for the parameter names.

If left is 0, we can just let mask be ~0UL, so that anding with it is a no-op. Conveniently, BITMAP_LAST_WORD_MASK provides precisely what we need, and we can eliminate left.

If the condition k==lim-1 is true, we must have off == 0 (otherwise, k could never become that big). But in that case we have upper == 0 and hence dst[k] == (src[k] & mask) >> rem. Since mask consists of a consecutive range of bits starting from the LSB, anding dst[k] with mask is a no-op.

I've previously changed the nbits parameter of most bitmap_* functions to unsigned; now it is bitmap_shift_{left,right}'s turn. This alone saves some .text, but while at it I found that there were a few other things one could do. The end result of these seven patches is $ scripts/bloat-o-meter /tmp/bitmap.o.{old,new} add/remove: 0/0 grow/shrink: 0/2 up/down: 0/-328 (-328) function old new delta __bitmap_shift_right 384 226 -158 __bitmap_shift_left 306 136 -170 and less importantly also a smaller stack footprint $ stack-o-meter.pl master bitmap file function old new delta lib/bitmap.o __bitmap_shift_right 24 8 -16 lib/bitmap.o __bitmap_shift_left 24 0 -24 For each pair of 0 <= shift <= nbits <= 256 I've tested the end result with a few randomly filled src buffers (including garbage beyond nbits), in each case verifying that the shift {left,right}-most bits of dst are zero and the remaining nbits-shift bits correspond to src, so I'm fairly confident I didn't screw up. That hasn't stopped me from being wrong before, though. This patch (of 7): gcc can generate slightly better code for stuff like "nbits % BITS_PER_LONG" when it knows nbits is not negative. Since negative size bitmaps or shift amounts don't make sense, change these parameters of bitmap_shift_right to unsigned. The expressions involving "lim - 1" are still ok, since if lim is 0 the loop is never executed. Also use "shift" and "nbits" consistently for the parameter names.

Make the prototype of bitmap_copy_le the same as bitmap_copy's. All other bitmap_* functions take unsigned long* parameters; there's no reason this should be special. The only current user is the static inline uwb_mas_bm_copy_le, which already does the void* laundering, so the end users can pass their u8 or __le32 buffers without a cast. Furthermore, this allows us to simply let bitmap_copy_le be an alias for bitmap_copy on little-endian; see next patch.
