This patch removes the non-required spinlock acquire/release calls on

This routine is called from 'video->encode' function (which translates to either
'uvc_video_encode_bulk' or 'uvc_video_encode_isoc') in 'uvc_video.c'.
As, the 'video->encode' routines are called with 'queue_irqlock' already held,

a spin lock recursion.

poll: add poll_requested_events() and poll_does_not_wait() functions
In some cases the poll() implementation in a driver has to do different
things depending on the events the caller wants to poll for. An example
is when a driver needs to start a DMA engine if the caller polls for
POLLIN, but doesn't want to do that if POLLIN is not requested but instead
only POLLOUT or POLLPRI is requested. This is something that can happen
in the video4linux subsystem among others.
Unfortunately, the current epoll/poll/select implementation doesn't
provide that information reliably. The poll_table_struct does have it: it
has a key field with the event mask. But once a poll() call matches one
or more bits of that mask any following poll() calls are passed a NULL
poll_table pointer.
Also, the eventpoll implementation always left the key field at ~0 instead
of using the requested events mask.
This was changed in eventpoll.c so the key field now contains the actual
events that should be polled for as set by the caller.
The solution to the NULL poll_table pointer is to set the qproc field to
NULL in poll_table once poll() matches the events, not the poll_table
pointer itself. That way drivers can obtain the mask through a new
poll_requested_events inline.
The poll_table_struct can still be NULL since some kernel code calls it
internally (netfs_state_poll() in ./drivers/staging/pohmelfs/netfs.h). In
that case poll_requested_events() returns ~0 (i.e. all events).
Very rarely drivers might want to know whether poll_wait will actually
wait. If another earlier file descriptor in the set already matched the
events the caller wanted to wait for, then the kernel will return from the
select() call without waiting. This might be useful information in order
to avoid doing expensive work.
A new helper function poll_does_not_wait() is added that drivers can use
to detect this situation. This is now used in sock_poll_wait() in
include/net/sock.h. This was the only place in the kernel that needed
this information.
Drivers should no longer access any of the poll_table internals, but use
the poll_requested_events() and poll_does_not_wait() access functions
instead. In order to enforce that the poll_table fields are now prepended
with an underscore and a comment was added warning against using them
directly.
This required a change in unix_dgram_poll() in unix/af_unix.c which used
the key field to get the requested events. It's been replaced by a call
to poll_requested_events().
For qproc it was especially important to change its name since the
behavior of that field changes with this patch since this function pointer
can now be NULL when that wasn't possible in the past.
Any driver accessing the qproc or key fields directly will now fail to compile.
Some notes regarding the correctness of this patch: the driver's poll()
function is called with a 'struct poll_table_struct *wait' argument. This
pointer may or may not be NULL, drivers can never rely on it being one or
the other as that depends on whether or not an earlier file descriptor in
the select()'s fdset matched the requested events.
There are only three things a driver can do with the wait argument:
1) obtain the key field:
events = wait ? wait->key : ~0;
This will still work although it should be replaced with the new
poll_requested_events() function (which does exactly the same).
This will now even work better, since wait is no longer set to NULL
unnecessarily.
2) use the qproc callback. This could be deadly since qproc can now be
NULL. Renaming qproc should prevent this from happening. There are no
kernel drivers that actually access this callback directly, BTW.
3) test whether wait == NULL to determine whether poll would return without
waiting. This is no longer sufficient as the correct test is now
wait == NULL || wait->_qproc == NULL.
However, the worst that can happen here is a slight performance hit in
the case where wait != NULL and wait->_qproc == NULL. In that case the
driver will assume that poll_wait() will actually add the fd to the set
of waiting file descriptors. Of course, poll_wait() will not do that
since it tests for wait->_qproc. This will not break anything, though.
There is only one place in the whole kernel where this happens
(sock_poll_wait() in include/net/sock.h) and that code will be replaced
by a call to poll_does_not_wait() in the next patch.
Note that even if wait->_qproc != NULL drivers cannot rely on poll_wait()
actually waiting. The next file descriptor from the set might match the
event mask and thus any possible waits will never happen.

crc32: simplify unit test code
Replace the unit test provided in crc32.c, which doesn't have a makefile
and doesn't compile with current headers, with a simpler self test
routine that also gives a measure of performance and runs at module init
time. The self test option can be enabled through a configuration
option CONFIG_CRC32_SELFTEST.
The test stresses the pre and post loops and is thus not very realistic
since actual uses will likely have addresses and lengths that are at
least 4 byte aligned. However, the main loop is long enough so that the
performance is dominated by that loop.
The expected values for crc32_le and crc32_be were generated with the
original version of crc32.c using CRC_BITS_LE = 8 and CRC_BITS_BE = 8.
These values were then used to check all the values of the BITS
parameters in both the original and new versions.
The performance results show some variability from run to run in spite
of attempts to both warm the cache and reduce the amount of OS noise by
limiting interrutps during the test. To get comparable results and to
analyse options wrt performance the best time reported over a small
sample of runs has been taken.

crc32: remove two instances of trailing whitespaces
This patchset (re)uses Bob Pearson's crc32 slice-by-8 code to stamp out
a software crc32c implementation. It removes the crc32c implementation
in crypto/ in favor of using the stamped-out one in lib/. There is also
a change to Kconfig so that the kernel builder can pick an
implementation best suited for the hardware.
The motivation for this patchset is that I am working on adding full
metadata checksumming to ext4. As far as performance impact of adding
checksumming goes, I see nearly no change with a standard mail server
ffsb simulation. On a test that involves only file creation and
deletion and extent tree writes, I see a drop of about 50 pcercent with
the current kernel crc32c implementation; this improves to a drop of
about 20 percent with the enclosed crc32c code.
When metadata is usually a small fraction of total IO, this new
implementation doesn't help much because metadata is usually a small
fraction of total IO. However, when we are doing IO that is almost all
metadata (such as rm -rf'ing a tree), then this patch speeds up the
operation substantially.
Incidentally, given that iscsi, sctp, and btrfs also use crc32c, this
patchset should improve their speed as well. I have not yet quantified
that, however. This latest submission combines Bob's patches from late
August 2011 with mine so that they can be one coherent patch set.
Please excuse my inability to combine some of the patches; I've been
advised to leave Bob's patches alone and build atop them instead. :/
Since the last posting, I've also collected some crc32c test results on
a bunch of different x86/powerpc/sparc platforms. The results can be
viewed here: http://goo.gl/sgt3i ; the "crc32-kern-le" and "crc32c"
columns describe the performance of the kernel's current crc32 and
crc32c software implementations. The "crc32c-by8-le" column shows
crc32c performance with this patchset applied. I expect crc32
performance to be roughly the same.
The two _boost columns at the right side of the spreadsheet shows how much
faster the new implementation is over the old one. As you can see, crc32
rises substantially, and crc32c experiences a huge increase.
This patch:
- remove trailing whitespace from lib/crc32.c
- remove trailing whitespace from lib/crc32defs.h

checkpatch: check for quoted strings broken across lines
checkpatch already makes an exception to the 80-column rule for quoted
strings, and Documentation/CodingStyle recommends not splitting quoted
strings across lines, because it breaks the ability to grep for the
string. Rather than just permitting this, actively warn about quoted
strings split across lines.
Test case:
void context(void)
{
struct { unsigned magic; const char *strdata; } foo[] = {
{ 42, "these strings"
"do not produce warnings" },
{ 256, "though perhaps"
"they should" },
};
pr_err("this string"
" should produce a warning\n");
pr_err("this multi-line string\n"
"should not produce a warning\n");
asm ("this asm\n\t"
"should not produce a warning");
}
Results of checkpatch on that test case:
WARNING: quoted string split across lines
+ " should produce a warning\n");
total: 0 errors, 1 warnings, 15 lines checked

checkpatch: add --strict tests for braces, comments and casts
Add some more subjective --strict tests.
Add a test for block comments that start with a blank line followed only
by a line with just the comment block initiator. Prefer a blank line
followed by /* comment...
Add a test for unnecessary spaces after a cast.
Add a test for symmetric uses of braces in if/else blocks.
If one branch needs braces, then all branches should use braces.

checkpatch: high precedence operators do not require additional parentheses in #defines
With any very high precedence operator it is not necessary to enforce
additional parentheses around simple negated expressions. This prevents
us requesting further perentheses around the following:

checkpatch: handle string concatenation in simple #defines
Adjacent strings indicate concatentation, therefore look at identifiers
directly adjacent to literal strings as strings too. This allows us to
better detect the form below and accept it as a simple constant:
