While pursuing and unrelated issue with 64Mb granules I noticed a problem
related to inconsistent use of add_active_range. There doesn't appear any
reason to me why FLATMEM versus DISCONTIG_MEM should register memory to
add_active_range with different code. So I've changed the code into a
common implementation.
The other subtle issue fixed by this patch was calling add_active_range in
count_node_pages before granule aligning is performed. We were lucky with
16MB granules but not so with 64MB granules. count_node_pages has reserved
regions filtered out and as a consequence linked kernel text and data
aren't covered by calls to count_node_pages. So linked kernel regions
wasn't reported to add_active_regions. This resulted in free_initmem
causing numerous bad_page reports. This won't occur with this patch
because now all known memory regions are reported by
register_active_ranges.

Actually, on reflection I think that there is a good case for

who want a very small crashdump kernel and thus don't want to compile

The patch below should fix things up so that all valid combinations of
KEXEC, CRASH_DUMP and VMCORE compile cleanly - VMCORE depends on
CRASH_DUMP which is why I said valid combinations. In a nutshell
it just untangles unrelated code and switches around a few defines.

Following up with the work on shared page table done by Dave McCracken. This
set of patch target shared page table for hugetlb memory only.
The shared page table is particular useful in the situation of large number of
independent processes sharing large shared memory segments. In the normal
page case, the amount of memory saved from process' page table is quite
significant. For hugetlb, the saving on page table memory is not the primary
objective (as hugetlb itself already cuts down page table overhead
significantly), instead, the purpose of using shared page table on hugetlb is
to allow faster TLB refill and smaller cache pollution upon TLB miss.
With PT sharing, pte entries are shared among hundreds of processes, the cache
consumption used by all the page table is smaller and in return, application
gets much higher cache hit ratio. One other effect is that cache hit ratio
with hardware page walker hitting on pte in cache will be higher and this
helps to reduce tlb miss latency. These two effects contribute to higher
application performance.

(David:)
If hugetlbfs_file_mmap() returns a failure to do_mmap_pgoff() - for example,
because the given file offset is not hugepage aligned - then do_mmap_pgoff
will go to the unmap_and_free_vma backout path.
But at this stage the vma hasn't been marked as hugepage, and the backout path
will call unmap_region() on it. That will eventually call down to the
non-hugepage version of unmap_page_range(). On ppc64, at least, that will
cause serious problems if there are any existing hugepage pagetable entries in
the vicinity - for example if there are any other hugepage mappings under the
same PUD. unmap_page_range() will trigger a bad_pud() on the hugepage pud
entries. I suspect this will also cause bad problems on ia64, though I don't
have a machine to test it on.
(Hugh:)
prepare_hugepage_range() should check file offset alignment when it checks
virtual address and length, to stop MAP_FIXED with a bad huge offset from
unmapping before it fails further down. PowerPC should apply the same
prepare_hugepage_range alignment checks as ia64 and all the others do.
Then none of the alignment checks in hugetlbfs_file_mmap are required (nor
is the check for too small a mapping); but even so, move up setting of
VM_HUGETLB and add a comment to warn of what David Gibson discovered - if
hugetlbfs_file_mmap fails before setting it, do_mmap_pgoff's unmap_region
when unwinding from error will go the non-huge way, which may cause bad
behaviour on architectures (powerpc and ia64) which segregate their huge
mappings into a separate region of the address space.

Arch-independent zone-sizing is using indices instead of symbolic names to
offset within an array related to zones (max_zone_pfns). The unintended
impact is that ZONE_DMA and ZONE_NORMAL is initialised on powerpc instead
of ZONE_DMA and ZONE_HIGHMEM when CONFIG_HIGHMEM is set. As a result, the
the machine fails to boot but will boot with CONFIG_HIGHMEM turned off.
The following patch properly initialises the max_zone_pfns[] array and uses
symbolic names instead of indices in each architecture using
arch-independent zone-sizing. Two users have successfully booted their
powerpcs with it (one an ibook G4). It has also been boot tested on x86,
x86_64, ppc64 and ia64. Please merge for 2.6.19-rc2.

This is an updated version of Eric Biederman's is_init() patch.
(http://lkml.org/lkml/2006/2/6/280). It applies cleanly to 2.6.18-rc3 and
replaces a few more instances of ->pid == 1 with is_init().
Further, is_init() checks pid and thus removes dependency on Eric's other
patches for now.
Eric's original description:
There are a lot of places in the kernel where we test for init
because we give it special properties. Most significantly init
must not die. This results in code all over the kernel test
->pid == 1.
Introduce is_init to capture this case.
With multiple pid spaces for all of the cases affected we are
looking for only the first process on the system, not some other
process that has pid == 1.

Make PROT_WRITE imply PROT_READ for a number of architectures which don't
support write only in hardware.
While looking at this, I noticed that some architectures which do not
support write only mappings already take the exact same approach. For
example, in arch/alpha/mm/fault.c:
"
if (cause < 0) {
if (!(vma->vm_flags & VM_EXEC))
goto bad_area;
} else if (!cause) {
/* Allow reads even for write-only mappings */
if (!(vma->vm_flags & (VM_READ | VM_WRITE)))
goto bad_area;
} else {
if (!(vma->vm_flags & VM_WRITE))
goto bad_area;
}
"
Thus, this patch brings other architectures which do not support write only
mappings in-line and consistent with the rest. I've verified the patch on
ia64, x86_64 and x86.
Additional discussion:
Several architectures, including x86, can not support write-only mappings.
The pte for x86 reserves a single bit for protection and its two states are
read only or read/write. Thus, write only is not supported in h/w.
Currently, if i 'mmap' a page write-only, the first read attempt on that page
creates a page fault and will SEGV. That check is enforced in
arch/blah/mm/fault.c. However, if i first write that page it will fault in
and the pte will be set to read/write. Thus, any subsequent reads to the page
will succeed. It is this inconsistency in behavior that this patch is
attempting to address. Furthermore, if the page is swapped out, and then
brought back the first read will also cause a SEGV. Thus, any arbitrary read
on a page can potentially result in a SEGV.
According to the SuSv3 spec, "if the application requests only PROT_WRITE, the
implementation may also allow read access." Also as mentioned, some
archtectures, such as alpha, shown above already take the approach that i am
suggesting.
The counter-argument to this raised by Arjan, is that the kernel is enforcing
the write only mapping the best it can given the h/w limitations. This is
true, however Alan Cox, and myself would argue that the inconsitency in
behavior, that is applications can sometimes work/sometimes fails is highly
undesireable. If you read through the thread, i think people, came to an
agreement on the last patch i posted, as nobody has objected to it...

I found a bug in memory hot-add code for ia64.
IA64's code has copies of pgdat's array on each node to reduce memory
access over crossing node. This array is used by NODE_DATA() macro. When
new node is hot-added, this pgdat's array should be updated and copied on
new node too.
However, I used for_each_online_node() in scatter_node_data() to copy
it. This meant its array is not copied on new node.
Because initialization of structures for new node was halfway,
so online_node_map couldn't be set at this time.
To copy arrays on new node, I changed it to check value of pgdat_list[]
which is source array of copies. I tested this patch with my Memory Hotadd
emulation on Tiger4. This patch is for 2.6.17-git20.

At v2 of node_add, this function used stop_machine_run() to update them. (I
wished that they were copied safety as much as possible.) But, in this patch,
this arrays are just copied simply, and set node_online_map bit after
completion of pgdat initialization.
So, kernel must touch NODE_DATA() macro after checking node_online_map().
(Current code has already done it.) This is more simple way for just
hot-add.....
Note : It will be problem when hot-remove will occur,
because, even if online_map bit is set, kernel may

This closes a couple holes in our attribute aliasing avoidance scheme:
- The current kernel fails mmaps of some /dev/mem MMIO regions because
they don't appear in the EFI memory map. This keeps X from working
on the Intel Tiger box.
- The current kernel allows UC mmap of the 0-1MB region of
/sys/.../legacy_mem even when the chipset doesn't support UC
access. This causes an MCA when starting X on HP rx7620 and rx8620
boxes in the default configuration.
There's more detail in the Documentation/ia64/aliasing.txt file this
adds, but the general idea is that if a region might be covered by
a granule-sized kernel identity mapping, any access via /dev/mem or
mmap must use the same attribute as the identity mapping.
Otherwise, we fall back to using an attribute that is supported
according to the EFI memory map, or to using UC if the EFI memory
map doesn't mention the region.

efi_memmap_init() collects full granules of WB memory, without
regard for whether they also support UC. So in order for ioremap()
to work for main memory, it must prefer WB mappings when possible.

It was reported from a field customer that global spin lock ptcg_lock
is giving a lot of grief on munmap performance running on a large numa
machine. What appears to be a problem coming from flush_tlb_range(),
which currently unconditionally calls platform_global_tlb_purge().
For some of the numa machines in existence today, this function is
mapped into ia64_global_tlb_purge(), which holds ptcg_lock spin lock
while executing ptc.ga instruction.
Here is a patch that attempt to avoid global tlb purge whenever
possible. It will use local tlb purge as much as possible. Though the
conditions to use local tlb purge is pretty restrictive. One of the
side effect of having flush tlb range instruction on ia64 is that
kernel don't get a chance to clear out cpu_vm_mask. On ia64, this mask
is sticky and it will accumulate if process bounces around. Thus
diminishing the possible use of ptc.l. Thoughts?

Function lazy_mmu_prot_update is also used on huge pages when it is called
by set_huge_ptep_writable, but it isn't aware of huge pages.

Because pgdat_list was linked to pgdat_list in *reverse* order, (By default)
some of arch has to sort it by themselves.
for_each_pgdat has gone..for_each_online_pgdat() uses node_online_map, which
doesn't need to be sorted.
This patch removes codes for sorting pgdat.

Check the EFI memory map so we can use the correct memory attributes for
ioremap(). Previously, we always used uncacheable access, which blows up on
some machines for regular system memory.

Add init declaration to variables/functions used for memory
initialization. I don't think they would clash with memory
hotplug. If they do, please yell.

fix is_hugepage_only_range() definition to be "overlaps"
instead of "within architectural restricted hugetlb address
range". Simplify the ia64 specific code that used to use
is_hugepage_only_range() to just check which region the
address is in.
