2015-02-13lib: crc32: constify crc32 lookup tableDaniel Borkmann
Commit 8f243af42ade ("sections: fix const sections for crc32 table") removed the compile-time generated crc32 tables from the RO sections, because it conflicts with the definition of __cacheline_aligned which puts all such aligned data into .data..cacheline_aligned section optimized for wasting less space, and can cause alignment issues when used in combination with const with some gcc versions like 4.7.0 due to a gcc bug [1]. Given that most gcc versions should have the fix by now, we can just use ____cacheline_aligned, which only aligns the data but doesn't move it into specific sections as opposed to __cacheline_aligned. In case of gcc versions having the mentioned bug, the alignment attribute will have no effect, but the data will still be made RO. After patch tables are in RO: $ nm -v lib/crc32.o | grep -1 -E "crc32c?table" 0000000000000000 t arch_local_irq_enable 0000000000000000 r crc32ctable_le 0000000000000000 t crc32_exit -- 0000000000000960 t test_buf 0000000000002000 r crc32table_be 0000000000004000 r crc32table_le 000000001d1056e5 A __crc_crc32_be [1] https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=52181 Signed-off-by: Daniel Borkmann <dborkman@redhat.com> Cc: Joe Mario <jmario@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
2012-10-06sections: fix const sections for crc32 tableJoe Mario
Fix the const sections for the code generated by crc32 table. There's no ro version of the cacheline aligned section, so we cannot put in const data without a conflict Just don't make the crc tables const for now.

2012-03-23crc32: add slice-by-8 algorithm to existing codeBob Pearson
Add slicing-by-8 algorithm to the existing slicing-by-4 algorithm. This consists of: - extend largest BITS size from 32 to 64 - extend tables from tab[4][256] to up to tab[8][256] - Add code for inner loop.

2012-03-23crc32: make CRC_*_BITS definition correspond to actual bit countsBob Pearson
crc32.c provides a choice of one of several algorithms for computing the LSB and LSB versions of the CRC32 checksum based on the parameters CRC_LE_BITS and CRC_BE_BITS. In the original version the values 1, 2, 4 and 8 respectively selected versions of the alrogithm that computed the crc 1, 2, 4 and 32 bits as a time. This patch series adds a new version that computes the CRC 64 bits at a time. To make things easier to understand the parameter has been reinterpreted to actually stand for the number of bits processed in each step of the algorithm so that the old value 8 has been replaced with the value 32. This also allows us to add in a widely used crc algorithm that computes the crc 8 bits at a time called the Sarwate algorithm.

2012-03-23crc32: miscellaneous cleanupsBob Pearson
Misc cleanup of lib/crc32.c and related files. - remove unnecessary header files. - straighten out some convoluted ifdef's - rewrite some references to 2 dimensional arrays as 1 dimensional arrays to make them correct. I.e. replace tab[i] with tab[0][i]. - a few trivial whitespace changes - fix a warning in gen_crc32tables.c caused by a mismatch in the type of the pointer passed to output table. Since the table is only used at kernel compile time, it is simpler to make the table big enough to hold the largest column size used. One cannot make the column size smaller in output_table because it has to be used by both the le and be tables and they can have different column sizes.

2010-05-25crc32: major optimizationJoakim Tjernlund
Precompute more crc32 values(0xcc00, 0xcc0000 and 0xcc000000) into tables. This increases the table size from 1KB to 4KB but the performance benfit makes it worth it: 28% faster on MPC8321, 266 MHz 2x faster on Core 2 Duo, 3.1GHz [akpm@linux-foundation.org: coding-style fixes] Signed-off-by: Joakim Tjernlund <Joakim.Tjernlund@transmode.se> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
2005-04-16Linux-2.6.12-rc2Linus Torvalds
Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history, even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about 3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good infrastructure for it. Let it rip!
