2020-12-16kernel.h: split out mathematical helpersAndy Shevchenko4-6/+12
kernel.h is being used as a dump for all kinds of stuff for a long time. Here is the attempt to start cleaning it up by splitting out mathematical helpers. At the same time convert users in header and lib folder to use new header. Though for time being include new header back to kernel.h to avoid twisted indirected includes for existing users.

2020-06-15sched/cputime: Improve cputime_adjust()Oleg Nesterov1-0/+41
People report that utime and stime from /proc/<pid>/stat become very wrong when the numbers are big enough, especially if you watch these counters incrementally. Specifically, the current implementation of: stime*rtime/total, results in a saw-tooth function on top of the desired line, where the teeth grow in size the larger the values become. IOW, it has a relative error. The result is that, when watching incrementally as time progresses (for large values), we'll see periods of pure stime or utime increase, irrespective of the actual ratio we're striving for. Replace scale_stime() with a math64.h helper: mul_u64_u64_div_u64() that is far more accurate. This also allows architectures to override the implementation -- for instance they can opt for the old algorithm if this new one turns out to be too expensive for them.

2020-06-05lib/math: avoid trailing newline hidden in pr_fmt()Christophe JAILLET1-5/+5
pr_xxx() functions usually have a newline at the end of the logging message. Here, this newline is added via the 'pr_fmt' macro. In order to be more consistent with other files, use a more standard convention and put these newlines back in the messages themselves and remove it from the pr_fmt macro. While at it, use __func__ instead of hardcoding a function name in the last message.

2019-12-05lib/math/rational.c: fix possible incorrect result from rational fractions ↵Trent Piepho1-13/+50
helper In some cases the previous algorithm would not return the closest approximation. This would happen when a semi-convergent was the closest, as the previous algorithm would only consider convergents. As an example, consider an initial value of 5/4, and trying to find the closest approximation with a maximum of 4 for numerator and denominator. The previous algorithm would return 1/1 as the closest approximation, while this version will return the correct answer of 4/3. To do this, the main loop performs effectively the same operations as it did before. It must now keep track of the last three approximations, n2/d2 .. n0/d0, while before it only needed the last two. If an exact answer is not found, the algorithm will now calculate the best semi-convergent term, t, which is a single expression with two divisions: min((max_numerator - n0) / n1, (max_denominator - d0) / d1) This will be used if it is better than previous convergent. The test for this is generally a simple comparison, 2*t > a. But in an edge case, where the convergent's final term is even and the best allowable semi-convergent has a final term of exactly half the convergent's final term, the more complex comparison (d0*dp > d1*d) is used. I also wrote some comments explaining the code. While one still needs to look up the math elsewhere, they should help a lot to follow how the code relates to that math. This routine is used in two places in the video4linux code, but in those cases it is only used to reduce a fraction to lowest terms, which the existing code will do correctly. This could be done more efficiently with a different library routine but it would still be the Euclidean alogrithm at its heart. So no change. The remain users are places where a fractional PLL divider is programmed. What would happen is something asked for a clock of X MHz but instead gets Y MHz, where Y is close to X but not exactly due to the hardware limitations. After this change they might, in some cases, get Y' MHz, where Y' is a little closer to X then Y was. Users like this are: Three UARTs, in 8250_mid, 8250_lpss, and imx. One GPU in vp4_hdmi. And three clock drivers, clk-cdce706, clk-si5351, and clk-fractional-divider. The last is a generic clock driver and so would have more users referenced via device tree entries. I think there's a bug in that one, it's limiting an N bit field that is offset-by-1 to the range 0 .. (1<<N)-2, when it should be (1<<N)-1 as the upper limit. I have an IMX system, one of the UARTs using this, so I can provide a real example. If I request a custom baud rate of 1499978, the driver will program the PLL to produce a baud rate of 1500000. After this change, the fractional divider in the UART is programmed to a ratio of 65535/65536, which produces a baud rate of 1499977.0625. Closer to the requested value.
