2010-12-06	lib: Improve EWMA efficiency by using bitshifts	Bruno Randolf
	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! Signed-off-by: Bruno Randolf <br1@einfach.org> -- v2: use log2.h functions Signed-off-by: John W. Linville <linville@tuxdriver.com>
2010-11-18	lib: Add generic exponentially weighted moving average (EWMA) function	Bruno Randolf
	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.
