* lib: fix implicit users of kernel.h for TAINT_WARNPaul Gortmaker2012-02-281-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | A pending header cleanup will cause this to show up as: lib/average.c:38: error: 'TAINT_WARN' undeclared (first use in this function) lib/list_debug.c:24: error: 'TAINT_WARN' undeclared (first use in this function) and TAINT_WARN comes from include/linux/kernel.h file.

* lib: Improve EWMA efficiency by using bitshiftsBruno Randolf2010-12-061-8/+12
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Using bitshifts instead of division and multiplication should improve performance. That requires weight and factor to be powers of two, but i think this is something we can live with. Thanks to Peter Zijlstra for the improved formula!

* lib: Add generic exponentially weighted moving average (EWMA) functionBruno Randolf2010-11-181-0/+57
This adds generic functions for calculating Exponentially Weighted Moving Averages (EWMA). This implementation makes use of a structure which keeps the EWMA parameters and a scaled up internal representation to reduce rounding errors. The original idea for this implementation came from the rt2x00 driver (rt2x00link.c). I would like to use it in several places in the mac80211 and ath5k code and I hope it can be useful in many other places in the kernel code.
