Only the acpi backlight seems to work. Using the

Add a module parameter to disable the radeon GPU backlight
controller to override the automatic detection. Some
laptops seems to indicate that they use the integrated
controller, but appear to actually use an external
controller.

Commit d6bb3e9075bb ("vfs: simplify and shrink stack frame of
link_path_walk()") introduced build problems with GCC versions older
than 4.6 due to the initialisation of a member of an anonymous union in
struct qstr without enclosing braces.
This hits GCC bug 10676 [1] (which was fixed in GCC 4.6 by [2]), and
causes the following build error:
fs/namei.c: In function 'link_path_walk':
fs/namei.c:1778: error: unknown field 'hash_len' specified in initializer
This is worked around by adding explicit braces.

Commit 9226b5b440f2 ("vfs: avoid non-forwarding large load after small
store in path lookup") made link_path_walk() always access the
"hash_len" field as a single 64-bit entity, in order to avoid mixed size
accesses to the members.
However, what I didn't notice was that that effectively means that the
whole "struct qstr this" is now basically redundant. We already
explicitly track the "const char *name", and if we just use "u64
hash_len" instead of "long len", there is nothing else left of the
"struct qstr".
We do end up wanting the "struct qstr" if we have a filesystem with a
"d_hash()" function, but that's a rare case, and we might as well then
just squirrell away the name and hash_len at that point.
End result: fewer live variables in the loop, a smaller stack frame, and
better code generation. And we don't need to pass in pointers variables
to helper functions any more, because the return value contains all the
relevant information. So this removes more lines than it adds, and the
source code is clearer too.

Pull vfs fixes from Al Viro:
"double iput() on failure exit in lustre, racy removal of spliced
dentries from ->s_anon in __d_materialise_dentry() plus a bunch of
assorted RCU pathwalk fixes"
The RCU pathwalk fixes end up fixing a couple of cases where we
incorrectly dropped out of RCU walking, due to incorrect initialization
and testing of the sequence locks in some corner cases. Since dropping
out of RCU walk mode forces the slow locked accesses, those corner cases
slowed down quite dramatically.

|

The performance regression that Josef Bacik reported in the pathname
lookup (see commit 99d263d4c5b2 "vfs: fix bad hashing of dentries") made
me look at performance stability of the dcache code, just to verify that
the problem was actually fixed. That turned up a few other problems in
this area.
There are a few cases where we exit RCU lookup mode and go to the slow
serializing case when we shouldn't, Al has fixed those and they'll come
in with the next VFS pull.
But my performance verification also shows that link_path_walk() turns
out to have a very unfortunate 32-bit store of the length and hash of
the name we look up, followed by a 64-bit read of the combined hash_len
field. That screws up the processor store to load forwarding, causing
an unnecessary hickup in this critical routine.
It's caused by the ugly calling convention for the "hash_name()"
function, and easily fixed by just making hash_name() fill in the whole
'struct qstr' rather than passing it a pointer to just the hash value.
With that, the profile for this function looks much smoother.

To avoid dummy value returned in case when root is already set (it would do
no harm, actually, since the only caller that doesn't ignore the return value
is guaranteed to have nd->root *not* set, but it's more obvious that way),
lift the check into callers. And do the same to set_root(), to keep them

Josef Bacik found a performance regression between 3.2 and 3.10 and
narrowed it down to commit bfcfaa77bdf0 ("vfs: use 'unsigned long'
accesses for dcache name comparison and hashing"). He reports:
"The test case is essentially
for (i = 0; i < 1000000; i++)
mkdir("a$i");
On xfs on a fio card this goes at about 20k dir/sec with 3.2, and 12k
dir/sec with 3.10. This is because we spend waaaaay more time in
__d_lookup on 3.10 than in 3.2.
The new hashing function for strings is suboptimal for <
sizeof(unsigned long) string names (and hell even > sizeof(unsigned
long) string names that I've tested). I broke out the old hashing
function and the new one into a userspace helper to get real numbers
and this is what I'm getting:
Old hash table had 1000000 entries, 0 dupes, 0 max dupes
New hash table had 12628 entries, 987372 dupes, 900 max dupes
We had 11400 buckets with a p50 of 30 dupes, p90 of 240 dupes, p99 of 567 dupes for the new hash
My test does the hash, and then does the d_hash into a integer pointer
array the same size as the dentry hash table on my system, and then
just increments the value at the address we got to see how many
entries we overlap with.
As you can see the old hash function ended up with all 1 million
entries in their own bucket, whereas the new one they are only
distributed among ~12.5k buckets, which is why we're using so much
more CPU in __d_lookup".
The reason for this hash regression is two-fold:
- On 64-bit architectures the down-mixing of the original 64-bit
word-at-a-time hash into the final 32-bit hash value is very
simplistic and suboptimal, and just adds the two 32-bit parts
together.
In particular, because there is no bit shuffling and the mixing
boundary is also a byte boundary, similar character patterns in the
low and high word easily end up just canceling each other out.
- the old byte-at-a-time hash mixed each byte into the final hash as it
hashed the path component name, resulting in the low bits of the hash
generally being a good source of hash data. That is not true for the
word-at-a-time case, and the hash data is distributed among all the
bits.
The fix is the same in both cases: do a better job of mixing the bits up
and using as much of the hash data as possible. We already have the
"hash_32|64()" functions to do that.
