Introduce CONFIG_GENERIC_IO

2012-03-24T23:29:56Z

There are situations where CONFIG_HAS_IOMEM is too restrictive. For example CONFIG_MTD_NAND_NANDSIM depends on CONFIG_HAS_IOMEM but it works perfectly fine if an architecture without io memory just includes asm-generic/io.h or implements everything defined in it. UML is such a corner case. Signed-off-by: Richard Weinberger

crc32: simplify unit test code

2012-03-23T23:58:37Z

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.

arch: fix ioport mapping on mips,sh Kevin Cernekee reported that recent cleanup that replaced pci_iomap with a generic function failed to take into account the differences in io port handling on mips and sh architectures. Rather than revert the changes reintroducing the code duplication, this patchset fixes this by adding ability for architectures to override ioport mapping for pci devices. Signed-off-by: Michael S. Tsirkin * tag 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/mst/vhost: sh: use the the PCI channels's io_map_base mips: use the the PCI controller's io_map_base lib: add NO_GENERIC_PCI_IOPORT_MAP

lib: add NO_GENERIC_PCI_IOPORT_MAP

Some architectures need to override the way IO port mapping is done on PCI devices. Supply a generic macro that calls ioport_map, and make it possible for architectures to override. Signed-off-by: Michael S. Tsirkin Acked-by: Arnd Bergmann
