      hpfs: implement the show_options method · 037369b8
      Mikulas Patocka authored 
      The HPFS filesystem used generic_show_options to produce string that is
displayed in /proc/mounts.  However, there is a problem that the options
may disappear after remount.  If we mount the filesystem with option1
and then remount it with option2, /proc/mounts should show both option1
and option2, however it only shows option2 because the whole option
string is replaced with replace_mount_options in hpfs_remount_fs.

To fix this bug, implement the hpfs_show_options function that prints
options that are currently selected.

      affs: fix remount failure when there are no options changed · 01d6e087
      Mikulas Patocka authored 
      Commit c8f33d0b ("affs: kstrdup() memory handling") checks if the
kstrdup function returns NULL due to out-of-memory condition.

However, if we are remounting a filesystem with no change to
filesystem-specific options, the parameter data is NULL.  In this case,
kstrdup returns NULL (because it was passed NULL parameter), although no
out of memory condition exists.  The mount syscall then fails with
ENOMEM.

This patch fixes the bug.  We fail with ENOMEM only if data is non-NULL.

The patch also changes the call to replace_mount_options - if we didn't
pass any filesystem-specific options, we don't call
replace_mount_options (thus we don't erase existing reported options).

      Pull string hash improvements from George Spelvin:
 "This series does several related things:

   - Makes the dcache hash (fs/namei.c) useful for general kernel use.

     (Thanks to Bruce for noticing the zero-length corner case)

   - Converts the string hashes in <linux/sunrpc/svcauth.h> to use the
     above.

   - Avoids 64-bit multiplies in hash_64() on 32-bit platforms.  Two
     32-bit multiplies will do well enough.

   - Rids the world of the bad hash multipliers in hash_32.

     This finishes the job started in commit 689de1d6 ("Minimal
     fix-up of bad hashing behavior of hash_64()")

     The vast majority of Linux architectures have hardware support for
     32x32-bit multiply and so derive no benefit from "simplified"
     multipliers.

     The few processors that do not (68000, h8/300 and some models of
     Microblaze) have arch-specific implementations added.  Those
     patches are last in the series.

   - Overhauls the dcache hash mixing.

     The patch in commit 0fed3ac8 ("namei: Improve hash mixing if
     CONFIG_DCACHE_WORD_ACCESS") was an off-the-cuff suggestion.
     Replaced with a much more careful design that's simultaneously
     faster and better.  (My own invention, as there was noting suitable
     in the literature I could find.  Comments welcome!)

   - Modify the hash_name() loop to skip the initial HASH_MIX().  This
     would let us salt the hash if we ever wanted to.

   - Sort out partial_name_hash().

     The hash function is declared as using a long state, even though
     it's truncated to 32 bits at the end and the extra internal state
     contributes nothing to the result.  And some callers do odd things:

      - fs/hfs/string.c only allocates 32 bits of state
      - fs/hfsplus/unicode.c uses it to hash 16-bit unicode symbols not bytes

   - Modify bytemask_from_count to handle inputs of 1..sizeof(long)
     rather than 0..sizeof(long)-1.  This would simplify users other
     than full_name_hash"

  Special thanks to Bruce Fields for testing and finding bugs in v1.  (I
  learned some humbling lessons about "obviously correct" code.)

  On the arch-specific front, the m68k assembly has been tested in a
  standalone test harness, I've been in contact with the Microblaze
  maintainers who mostly don't care, as the hardware multiplier is never
  omitted in real-world applications, and I haven't heard anything from
  the H8/300 world"

      This will improve the performance of hash_32() and hash_64(), but due
to complete lack of multi-bit shift instructions on H8, performance will
still be bad in surrounding code.

Designing H8-specific hash algorithms to work around that is a separate
project.  (But if the maintainers would like to get in touch...)

      Microblaze is an FPGA soft core that can be configured various ways.

If it is configured without a multiplier, the standard __hash_32()
will require a call to __mulsi3, which is a slow software loop.

Instead, use a shift-and-add sequence for the constant multiply.
GCC knows how to do this, but it's not as clever as some.

      George Spelvin authored 
      This is just the infrastructure; there are no users yet.

This is modelled on CONFIG_ARCH_RANDOM; a CONFIG_ symbol declares
the existence of <asm/hash.h>.

That file may define its own versions of various functions, and define
HAVE_* symbols (no CONFIG_ prefix!) to suppress the generic ones.

Included is a self-test (in lib/test_hash.c) that verifies the basics.
It is NOT in general required that the arch-specific functions compute
the same thing as the generic, but if a HAVE_* symbol is defined with
the value 1, then equality is tested.

      fs/namei.c: Improve dcache hash function · 2a18da7a
      George Spelvin authored 
      Patch 0fed3ac8 improved the hash mixing, but the function is slower
than necessary; there's a 7-instruction dependency chain (10 on x86)
each loop iteration.

Word-at-a-time access is a very tight loop (which is good, because
link_path_walk() is one of the hottest code paths in the entire kernel),
and the hash mixing function must not have a longer latency to avoid
slowing it down.

There do not appear to be any published fast hash functions that:
1) Operate on the input a word at a time, and
2) Don't need to know the length of the input beforehand, and
3) Have a single iterated mixing function, not needing conditional
   branches or unrolling to distinguish different loop iterations.

One of the algorithms which comes closest is Yann Collet's xxHash, but
that's two dependent multiplies per word, which is too much.

The key insights in this design are:

1) Barring expensive ops like multiplies, to diffuse one input bit
   across 64 bits of hash state takes at least log2(64) = 6 sequentially
   dependent instructions.  That is more cycles than we'd like.
2) An operation like "hash ^= hash << 13" requires a second temporary
   register anyway, and on a 2-operand machine like x86, it's three
   instructions.
3) A better use of a second register is to hold a two-word hash state.
   With careful design, no temporaries are needed at all, so it doesn't
   increase register pressure.  And this gets rid of register copying
   on 2-operand machines, so the code is smaller and faster.
4) Using two words of state weakens the requirement for one-round mixing;
   we now have two rounds of mixing before cancellation is possible.
5) A two-word hash state also allows operations on both halves to be
   done in parallel, so on a superscalar processor we get more mixing
   in fewer cycles.

I ended up using a mixing function inspired by the ChaCha and Speck
round functions.  It is 6 simple instructions and 3 cycles per iteration
(assuming multiply by 9 can be done by an "lea" instruction):

		x ^= *input++;
	y ^= x;	x = ROL(x, K1);
	x += y;	y = ROL(y, K2);
	y *= 9;

Not only is this reversible, two consecutive rounds are reversible:
if you are given the initial and final states, but not the intermediate
state, it is possible to compute both input words.  This means that at
least 3 words of input are required to create a collision.

(It also has the property, used by hash_name() to avoid a branch, that
it hashes all-zero to all-zero.)

The rotate constants K1 and K2 were found by experiment.  The search took
a sample of random initial states (I used 1023) and considered the effect
of flipping each of the 64 input bits on each of the 128 output bits two
rounds later.  Each of the 8192 pairs can be considered a biased coin, and
adding up the Shannon entropy of all of them produces a score.

The best-scoring shifts also did well in other tests (flipping bits in y,
trying 3 or 4 rounds of mixing, flipping all 64*63/2 pairs of input bits),
so the choice was made with the additional constraint that the sum of the
shifts is odd and not too close to the word size.

The final state is then folded into a 32-bit hash value by a less carefully
optimized multiply-based scheme.  This also has to be fast, as pathname
components tend to be short (the most common case is one iteration!), but
there's some room for latency, as there is a fair bit of intervening logic
before the hash value is used for anything.

(Performance verified with "bonnie++ -s 0 -n 1536:-2" on tmpfs.  I need
a better benchmark; the numbers seem to show a slight dip in performance
between 4.6.0 and this patch, but they're too noisy to quote.)

Special thanks to Bruce fields for diligent testing which uncovered a
nasty fencepost error in an earlier version of this patch.

      Eliminate bad hash multipliers from hash_32() and hash_64() · ef703f49
      George Spelvin authored 
      The "simplified" prime multipliers made very bad hash functions, so get rid
of them.  This completes the work of 689de1d6.

To avoid the inefficiency which was the motivation for the "simplified"
multipliers, hash_64() on 32-bit systems is changed to use a different
algorithm.  It makes two calls to hash_32() instead.

drivers/media/usb/dvb-usb-v2/af9015.c uses the old GOLDEN_RATIO_PRIME_32
for some horrible reason, so it inherits a copy of the old definition.

      That's all that's ever asked for, and it makes the return
type of hash_long() consistent.

It also allows (upcoming patch) an optimized implementation
of hash_64 on 32-bit machines.

I tried adding a BUILD_BUG_ON to ensure the number of bits requested
was never more than 32 (most callers use a compile-time constant), but
adding <linux/bug.h> to <linux/hash.h> breaks the tools/perf compiler
unless tools/perf/MANIFEST is updated, and understanding that code base
well enough to update it is too much trouble.  I did the rest of an
allyesconfig build with such a check, and nothing tripped.

      <linux/sunrpc/svcauth.h>: Define hash_str() in terms of hashlen_string() · 917ea166
      George Spelvin authored 
      Finally, the first use of previous two patches: eliminate the
separate ad-hoc string hash functions in the sunrpc code.

Now hash_str() is a wrapper around hash_string(), and hash_mem() is
likewise a wrapper around full_name_hash().

Note that sunrpc code *does* call hash_mem() with a zero length, which
is why the previous patch needed to handle that in full_name_hash().
(Thanks, Bruce, for finding that!)

This also eliminates the only caller of hash_long which asks for
more than 32 bits of output.

The comment about the quality of hashlen_string() and full_name_hash()
is jumping the gun by a few patches; they aren't very impressive now,
but will be improved greatly later in the series.

      fs/namei.c: Add hashlen_string() function · fcfd2fbf
      George Spelvin authored 
      We'd like to make more use of the highly-optimized dcache hash functions
throughout the kernel, rather than have every subsystem create its own,
and a function that hashes basic null-terminated strings is required
for that.

(The name is to emphasize that it returns both hash and length.)

It's actually useful in the dcache itself, specifically d_alloc_name().
Other uses in the next patch.

full_name_hash() is also tweaked to make it more generally useful:
1) Take a "char *" rather than "unsigned char *" argument, to
   be consistent with hash_name().
2) Handle zero-length inputs.  If we want more callers, we don't want
   to make them worry about corner cases.
