riscv: Check that vdso does not contain any dynamic relocations #785

When the cpus in the same cluster are all in the idle state, the kernel might put the cluster into a deeper low power state. Call the cluster_pm_enter() before entering the low power state and call the cluster_pm_exit() after the cluster woken up.

…USH_CTX prctl" Charlie Jenkins <charlie@rivosinc.com> says: Improve the performance of icache flushing by creating a new prctl flag PR_RISCV_SET_ICACHE_FLUSH_CTX. The interface is left generic to allow for future expansions such as with the proposed J extension [1]. Documentation is also provided to explain the use case. Patch sent to add PR_RISCV_SET_ICACHE_FLUSH_CTX to man-pages [2].

…ired After commit f51f7a0 ("riscv: enable DMA_BOUNCE_UNALIGNED_KMALLOC for !dma_coherent"), for non-coherent platforms with less than 4GB memory, we rely on users to pass "swiotlb=mmnn,force" kernel parameters to enable DMA bouncing for unaligned kmalloc() buffers. Now let's go further: If no bouncing needed for ZONE_DMA, let kernel automatically allocate 1MB swiotlb buffer per 1GB of RAM for kmalloc() bouncing on non-coherent platforms, so that no need to pass "swiotlb=mmnn,force" any more. The math of "1MB swiotlb buffer per 1GB of RAM for kmalloc() bouncing" is taken from arm64. Users can still force smaller swiotlb buffer by passing "swiotlb=mmnn".

Jisheng Zhang <jszhang@kernel.org> says: This series selects ARCH_USE_CMPXCHG_LOCKREF to enable the cmpxchg-based lockless lockref implementation for riscv. Then, implement arch_cmpxchg64_{relaxed|acquire|release}. After patch1: Using Linus' test case[1] on TH1520 platform, I see a 11.2% improvement. On JH7110 platform, I see 12.0% improvement. After patch2: on both TH1520 and JH7110 platforms, I didn't see obvious performance improvement with Linus' test case [1]. IMHO, this may be related with the fence and lr.d/sc.d hw implementations. In theory, lr/sc without fence could give performance improvement over lr/sc plus fence, so add the code here to leave performance improvement room on newer HW platforms. * b4-shazam-merge: riscv: cmpxchg: implement arch_cmpxchg64_{relaxed|acquire|release} riscv: select ARCH_USE_CMPXCHG_LOCKREF Link: http://marc.info/?l=linux-fsdevel&m=137782380714721&w=4 [1] Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20240325111038.1700-1-jszhang@kernel.org Signed-off-by: Palmer Dabbelt <palmer@rivosinc.com>

Currently, riscv linux requires at least IMA, so all platforms have a multiplier. And I assume the 'mul' efficiency is comparable or better than a sequence of five or so register-dependent arithmetic instructions. Select ARCH_HAS_FAST_MULTIPLIER to get slightly nicer codegen. Refer to commit f9b4192 ("[PATCH] bitops: hweight() speedup") for more details. In a simple benchmark test calling hweight64() in a loop, it got: about 14% performance improvement on JH7110, tested on Milkv Mars. about 23% performance improvement on TH1520 and SG2042, tested on Sipeed LPI4A and SG2042 platform. a slight performance drop on CV1800B, tested on milkv duo. Among all riscv platforms in my hands, this is the only one which sees a slight performance drop. It means the 'mul' isn't quick enough. However, the situation exists on x86 too, for example, P4 doesn't have fast integer multiplies as said in the above commit, x86 also selects ARCH_HAS_FAST_MULTIPLIER. So let's select ARCH_HAS_FAST_MULTIPLIER which can benefit almost riscv platforms. Samuel also provided some performance numbers: On Unmatched: 20% speedup for __sw_hweight32 and 30% speedup for __sw_hweight64. On D1: 8% speedup for __sw_hweight32 and 8% slowdown for __sw_hweight64.
