x86: fix performance regression in write() syscall
While the introduction of __copy_from_user_nocache (see commit: 0812a579c92fefa57506821fa08e90f47cb6dbdd) may have been an improvement
for sufficiently large writes, there is evidence to show that it is
deterimental for small writes. Unixbench's fstime test gives the
following results for 256 byte writes with MAX_BLOCK of 2000:
2.6.29-rc6 ( 5 samples, each in KB/sec ):
283750, 295200, 294500, 293000, 293300
2.6.29-rc6 + this patch (5 samples, each in KB/sec):
313050, 3106750, 293350, 306300, 307900
2.6.18
395700, 342000, 399100, 366050, 359850
See w_test() in src/fstime.c in unixbench version 4.1.0. Basically, the above test
consists of counting how much we can write in this manner:

x86: linkage - get rid of _X86 macros
Impact: cleanup
There was an attempt to bring build-time checking for
missed ENTRY_X86/END_X86 and KPROBE... pairs. Using
them will add messy in code. Get just rid of them.
This commit could be easily restored if the need appear
in future.
When testing for a dom0/initial/privileged domain, make sure the
predicate evaluates to a compile-time 0 if CONFIG_XEN_DOM0 isn't
enabled. This will make most of the dom0 code evaporate without
much more effort.

For a single digital output (e.g. in patch_conexant.c), this call isn't

However on LS21s with HPET enabled in the BIOS, the HPET_T0_CFG register

Secondly, if CONFIG_PREEMPT=y, this bug solves itself because networking
will instead use GFP_ATOMIC from this callsite. Hence we won't get the

Solve both these problems by switching to in_interrupt(). Now, if someone

Fix page writeback thinko, causing Berkeley DB slowdown
A bug was introduced into write_cache_pages cyclic writeout by commit 31a12666d8f0c22235297e1c1575f82061480029 ("mm: write_cache_pages cyclic
fix"). The intention (and comments) is that we should cycle back and
look for more dirty pages at the beginning of the file if there is no
more work to be done.
But the !done condition was dropped from the test. This means that any
time the page writeout loop breaks (eg. due to nr_to_write == 0), we
will set index to 0, then goto again. This will set done_index to
index, then find done is set, so will proceed to the end of the
function. When updating mapping->writeback_index for cyclic writeout,
we now use done_index == 0, so we're always cycling back to 0.
This seemed to be causing random mmap writes (slapadd and iozone) to
start writing more pages from the LRU and writeout would slowdown, and
caused bugzilla entry
http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=12604
about Berkeley DB slowing down dramatically.
With this patch, iozone random write performance is increased nearly
5x on my system (iozone -B -r 4k -s 64k -s 512m -s 1200m on ext2).
