pcpu_nr_empty_pop_pages counts the number of empty populated pages
across all chunks and chunk->nr_populated counts the number of
populated pages in a chunk. Both will be used to implement pre/async
population for atomic allocations.
pcpu_chunk_[de]populated() are added to update chunk->populated,
chunk->nr_populated and pcpu_nr_empty_pop_pages together. All
successful chunk [de]populations should be followed by the
corresponding pcpu_chunk_[de]populated() calls.

An allocation attempt may require extending chunk->map array which
requires GFP_KERNEL context which isn't available for atomic
allocations. This patch ensures that chunk->map array usually keeps
some amount of available space by directly allocating buffer space
during GFP_KERNEL allocations and scheduling async extension during
atomic ones. This should make atomic allocation failures from map
space exhaustion rare.

Now that pcpu_alloc_area() can allocate only from populated areas,
it's easy to add atomic allocation support to [__]alloc_percpu().
Update pcpu_alloc() so that it accepts @gfp and skips all the blocking
operations and allocates only from the populated areas if @gfp doesn't
contain GFP_KERNEL. New interface functions [__]alloc_percpu_gfp()
are added.
While this means that atomic allocations are possible, this isn't
complete yet as there's no mechanism to ensure that certain amount of
populated areas is kept available and atomic allocations may keep
failing under certain conditions.

The next patch will conditionalize the population block in
pcpu_alloc() which will end up making a rather large indentation
change obfuscating the actual logic change. This patch puts the block
under "if (true)" so that the next patch can avoid indentation
changes. The defintions of the local variables which are used only in
the block are moved into the block.
This patch is purely cosmetic.

Update pcpu_alloc_area() so that it can skip unpopulated areas if the
new parameter @pop_only is true. This is implemented by a new
function, pcpu_fit_in_area(), which determines the amount of head
padding considering the alignment and populated state.
@pop_only is currently always false but this will be used to implement
atomic allocation.

At first, the percpu allocator required a sleepable context for both
alloc and free paths and used pcpu_alloc_mutex to protect everything.
Later, pcpu_lock was introduced to protect the index data structure so
that the free path can be invoked from atomic contexts. The
conversion only updated what's necessary and left most of the
allocation path under pcpu_alloc_mutex.
The percpu allocator is planned to add support for atomic allocation
and this patch restructures locking so that the coverage of
pcpu_alloc_mutex is further reduced.
* pcpu_alloc() now grab pcpu_alloc_mutex only while creating a new
chunk and populating the allocated area. Everything else is now
protected soley by pcpu_lock.
After this change, multiple instances of pcpu_extend_area_map() may
race but the function already implements sufficient synchronization
using pcpu_lock.
This also allows multiple allocators to arrive at new chunk
creation. To avoid creating multiple empty chunks back-to-back, a
new chunk is created iff there is no other empty chunk after
grabbing pcpu_alloc_mutex.
* pcpu_lock is now held while modifying chunk->populated bitmap.
After this, all data structures are protected by pcpu_lock.

Previously, pcpu_[de]populate_chunk() were called with the range which
may contain multiple target regions in it and
pcpu_[de]populate_chunk() iterated over the regions. This has the
benefit of batching up cache flushes for all the regions; however,
we're planning to add more bookkeeping logic around [de]population to
support atomic allocations and this delegation of iterations gets in
the way.
This patch moves the region iterations out of
pcpu_[de]populate_chunk() into its callers - pcpu_alloc() and
pcpu_reclaim() - so that we can later add logic to track more states
around them. This change may make cache and tlb flushes more frequent
but multi-region [de]populations are rare anyway and if this actually
becomes a problem, it's not difficult to factor out cache flushes as
separate callbacks which are directly invoked from percpu.c.

percpu-vm and percpu-km implement separate versions of

are currently in the specific implementations. Make the following
changes.
* Allocate area clearing is moved from the pcpu_populate_chunk()
implementations to pcpu_alloc(). This makes percpu-km's version
noop.
* Quick exit tests in pcpu_[de]populate_chunk() of percpu-vm are moved
to their respective callers so that they are applied to percpu-km
too. This doesn't make any meaningful difference as both functions
are noop for percpu-km; however, this is more consistent and will

Current code keeps +-length for each area in chunk->map[]. It has
several unpleasant consequences:
* even if we know that first 50 areas are all in use, allocation
still needs to go through all those areas just to sum their sizes, just
to get the offset of free one.
* freeing needs to find the array entry refering to the area
in question; again, the need to sum the sizes until we reach the offset
we are interested in. Note that offsets are monotonous, so simple
binary search would do here.
New data representation: array of <offset,in-use flag> pairs.
Each pair is represented by one int - we use offset|1 for <offset, in use>
and offset for <offset, free> (we make sure that all offsets are even).
In the end we put a sentry entry - <total size, in use>. The first
entry is <0, flag>; it would be possible to store together the flag
for Nth area and offset for N+1st, but that leads to much hairier code.
In other words, where the old variant would have
4, -8, -4, 4, -12, 100
(4 bytes free, 8 in use, 4 in use, 4 free, 12 in use, 100 free) we store
<0,0>, <4,1>, <12,1>, <16,0>, <20,1>, <32,0>, <132,1>
i.e.
0, 5, 13, 16, 21, 32, 133
This commit switches to new data representation and takes care of a couple
of low-hanging fruits in free_pcpu_area() - one is the switch to binary
search, another is not doing two memmove() when one would do. Speeding
the alloc side up (by keeping track of how many areas in the beginning are
known to be all in use) also becomes possible - that'll be done in the next

pcpu_embed_first_chunk() allocates memory for each node, copies percpu
data and frees unused portions of it before proceeding to the next
group. This assumes that allocations for different nodes doesn't
overlap; however, depending on memory topology, the bootmem allocator
may end up allocating memory from a different node than the requested
one which may overlap with the portion freed from one of the previous
percpu areas. This leads to percpu groups for different nodes
overlapping which is a serious bug.
This patch separates out copy & partial free from the allocation loop
such that all allocations are complete before partial frees happen.
This also fixes overlapping frees which could happen on allocation
failure path - out_free_areas path frees whole groups but the groups
could have portions freed at that point.

per_cpu_ptr_to_phys() incorrectly rounds up its result for non-kmalloc
case to the page boundary, which is bogus for any non-page-aligned
address.
This affects the only in-tree user of this function - sysfs handler
for per-cpu 'crash_notes' physical address. The trouble is that the
crash_notes per-cpu variable is not page-aligned:
crash_notes = 0xc08e8ed4
PER-CPU OFFSET VALUES:
CPU 0: 3711f000
CPU 1: 37129000
CPU 2: 37133000
CPU 3: 3713d000
So, the per-cpu addresses are:
crash_notes on CPU 0: f7a07ed4 => phys 36b57ed4
crash_notes on CPU 1: f7a11ed4 => phys 36b4ded4
crash_notes on CPU 2: f7a1bed4 => phys 36b43ed4
crash_notes on CPU 3: f7a25ed4 => phys 36b39ed4
However, /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu*/crash_notes says:
/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/crash_notes: 36b57000
/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu1/crash_notes: 36b4d000
/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu2/crash_notes: 36b43000
/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu3/crash_notes: 36b39000
As you can see, all values are rounded down to a page
boundary. Consequently, this is where kexec sets up the NOTE segments,
and thus where the secondary kernel is looking for them. However, when
the first kernel crashes, it saves the notes to the unaligned
addresses, where they are not found.
Fix it by adding offset_in_page() to the translated page address.

Percpu allocator recorded the cpus which map to the first and last
units in pcpu_first/last_unit_cpu respectively and used them to
determine the address range of a chunk - e.g. it assumed that the
first unit has the lowest address in a chunk while the last unit has
the highest address.
This simply isn't true. Groups in a chunk can have arbitrary positive
or negative offsets from the previous one and there is no guarantee
that the first unit occupies the lowest offset while the last one the
highest.
Fix it by actually comparing unit offsets to determine cpus occupying
the lowest and highest offsets. Also, rename pcu_first/last_unit_cpu
to pcpu_low/high_unit_cpu to avoid confusion.
The chunk address range is used to flush cache on vmalloc area
map/unmap and decide whether a given address is in the first chunk by
per_cpu_ptr_to_phys() and the bug was discovered by invalid
per_cpu_ptr_to_phys() translation for crash_note.

Percpu allocator honors alignment request upto PAGE_SIZE and both the
percpu addresses in the percpu address space and the translated kernel
addresses should be aligned accordingly. The calculation of the
former depends on the alignment of percpu output section in the kernel
image.
The linker script macros PERCPU_VADDR() and PERCPU() are used to
define this output section and the latter takes @align parameter.
Several architectures are using @align smaller than PAGE_SIZE breaking
percpu memory alignment.
This patch removes @align parameter from PERCPU(), renames it to
PERCPU_SECTION() and makes it always align to PAGE_SIZE. While at it,
add PCPU_SETUP_BUG_ON() checks such that alignment problems are
reliably detected and remove percpu alignment comment recently added
in workqueue.c as the condition would trigger BUG way before reaching

pcpu_first/last_unit_cpu are used to track which cpu has the first and
last units assigned. This in turn is used to determine the span of a
chunk for man/unmap cache flushes and whether an address belongs to
the first chunk or not in per_cpu_ptr_to_phys().
When the number of possible CPUs isn't power of two, a chunk may
contain unassigned units towards the end of a chunk. The logic to
determine pcpu_last_unit_cpu was incorrect when there was an unused
unit at the end of a chunk. It failed to ignore the unused unit and
assigned the unused marker NR_CPUS to pcpu_last_unit_cpu.
This was discovered through kdump failure which was caused by
malfunctioning per_cpu_ptr_to_phys() on a kvm setup with 50 possible
CPUs by CAI Qian.

On UP, percpu allocations were redirected to kmalloc. This has the
following problems.
* For certain amount of allocations (determined by
PERCPU_DYNAMIC_EARLY_SLOTS and PERCPU_DYNAMIC_EARLY_SIZE), percpu
allocator can be used before the usual kernel memory allocator is
brought online. On SMP, this is used to initialize the kernel
memory allocator.
* percpu allocator honors alignment upto PAGE_SIZE but kmalloc()
doesn't. For example, workqueue makes use of larger alignments for
cpu_workqueues.
Currently, users of percpu allocators need to handle UP differently,
which is somewhat fragile and ugly. Other than small amount of
memory, there isn't much to lose by enabling percpu allocator on UP.
It can simply use kernel memory based chunk allocation which was added
for SMP archs w/o MMUs.
This patch removes mm/percpu_up.c, builds mm/percpu.c on UP too and
makes UP build use percpu-km. As percpu addresses and kernel
addresses are always identity mapped and static percpu variables don't
need any special treatment, nothing is arch dependent and mm/percpu.c
implements generic setup_per_cpu_areas() for UP.

This patch updates percpu allocator such that it can serve limited
amount of allocation before slab comes online. This is primarily to
allow slab to depend on working percpu allocator.
Two parameters, PERCPU_DYNAMIC_EARLY_SIZE and SLOTS, determine how
much memory space and allocation map slots are reserved. If this
reserved area is exhausted, WARN_ON_ONCE() will trigger and allocation
will fail till slab comes online.
The following changes are made to implement early alloc.
* pcpu_mem_alloc() now checks slab_is_available()
* Chunks are allocated using pcpu_mem_alloc()
* Init paths make sure ai->dyn_size is at least as large as
PERCPU_DYNAMIC_EARLY_SIZE.
* Initial alloc maps are allocated in __initdata and copied to
kmalloc'd areas once slab is online.

per_cpu_ptr_to_phys() determines whether the passed in @addr belongs
to the first_chunk or not by just matching the address against the
address range of the base unit (unit0, used by cpu0). When an adress
from another cpu was passed in, it will always determine that the
address doesn't belong to the first chunk even when it does. This

Implement an alternate percpu chunk management based on kernel memeory
for nommu SMP architectures. Instead of mapping into vmalloc area,
chunks are allocated as a contiguous kernel memory using
alloc_pages(). As such, percpu allocator on nommu will have the
following restrictions.
* It can't fill chunks on-demand page-by-page. It has to allocate
each chunk fully upfront.
* It can't support sparse chunk for NUMA configurations. SMP w/o mmu
is crazy enough. Let's hope no one does NUMA w/o mmu. :-P
* If chunk size isn't power-of-two multiple of PAGE_SIZE, the
unaligned amount will be wasted on each chunk. So, archs which use
this better align chunk size.

Embedding first chunk allocator maintains the distances between units
in the vmalloc area and thus needs vmalloc space to be larger than the
maximum distances between units; otherwise, it wouldn't be able to

allocator check vmalloc space size and if the maximum distance between
units is larger than 75% of it, print warning and, if page mapping
allocator is available, fail initialization so that the system falls

Now that percpu core can handle very sparse units, given that vmalloc
space is large enough, embedding first chunk allocator can use any
memory to build the first chunk. This patch teaches
pcpu_embed_first_chunk() about distances between cpus and to use
alloc/free callbacks to allocate node specific areas for each group
and use them for the first chunk.
This brings the benefits of embedding allocator to NUMA configurations
- no extra TLB pressure with the flexibility of unified dynamic
allocator and no need to restructure arch code to build memory layout
suitable for percpu. With units put into atom_size aligned groups
according to cpu distances, using large page for dynamic chunks is
also easily possible with falling back to reuglar pages if large
allocation fails.
Embedding allocator users are converted to specify NULL
cpu_distance_fn, so this patch doesn't cause any visible behavior
difference. Following patches will convert them.

Currently units are mapped sequentially into address space. This
patch adds pcpu_unit_offsets[] which allows units to be mapped to
arbitrary offsets from the chunk base address. This is necessary to
allow sparse embedding which might would need to allocate address
ranges and memory areas which aren't aligned to unit size but
allocation atom size (page or large page size). This also simplifies
things a bit by removing the need to calculate offset from unit
number.
With this change, there's no need for the arch code to know
pcpu_unit_size. Update pcpu_setup_first_chunk() and first chunk
allocators to return regular 0 or -errno return code instead of unit
size or -errno.

Till now, non-linear cpu->unit map was expressed using an integer
array which maps each cpu to a unit and used only by lpage allocator.
Although how many units have been placed in a single contiguos area
(group) is known while building unit_map, the information is lost when
the result is recorded into the unit_map array. For lpage allocator,
as all allocations are done by lpages and whether two adjacent lpages
are in the same group or not is irrelevant, this didn't cause any
problem. Non-linear cpu->unit mapping will be used for sparse
embedding and this grouping information is necessary for that.
This patch introduces pcpu_alloc_info which contains all the
information necessary for initializing percpu allocator.
pcpu_alloc_info contains array of pcpu_group_info which describes how
units are grouped and mapped to cpus. pcpu_group_info also has
base_offset field to specify its offset from the chunk's base address.
pcpu_build_alloc_info() initializes this field as if all groups are
allocated back-to-back as is currently done but this will be used to
sparsely place groups.
pcpu_alloc_info is a rather complex data structure which contains a
flexible array which in turn points to nested cpu_map arrays.
* pcpu_alloc_alloc_info() and pcpu_free_alloc_info() are provided to
help dealing with pcpu_alloc_info.
* pcpu_lpage_build_unit_map() is updated to build pcpu_alloc_info,
generalized and renamed to pcpu_build_alloc_info().
@cpu_distance_fn may be NULL indicating that all cpus are of
LOCAL_DISTANCE.
* pcpul_lpage_dump_cfg() is updated to process pcpu_alloc_info,
generalized and renamed to pcpu_dump_alloc_info(). It now also
prints which group each alloc unit belongs to.
* pcpu_setup_first_chunk() now takes pcpu_alloc_info instead of the
separate parameters. All first chunk allocators are updated to use
pcpu_build_alloc_info() to build alloc_info and call
pcpu_setup_first_chunk() with it. This has the side effect of
packing units for sparse possible cpus. ie. if cpus 0, 2 and 4 are
possible, they'll be assigned unit 0, 1 and 2 instead of 0, 2 and 4.
* x86 setup_pcpu_lpage() is updated to deal with alloc_info.
* sparc64 setup_per_cpu_areas() is updated to build alloc_info.
Although the changes made by this patch are pretty pervasive, it
doesn't cause any behavior difference other than packing of sparse
cpus. It mostly changes how information is passed among
initialization functions and makes room for more flexibility.

First chunk allocators assume percpu areas have been linked using one
of PERCPU_*() macros and depend on __per_cpu_load symbol defined by

Large page first chunk allocator is primarily used for NUMA machines;
however, its NUMA handling is extremely simplistic. Regardless of
their proximity, each cpu is put into separate large page just to
return most of the allocated space back wasting large amount of
vmalloc space and increasing cache footprint.
This patch teachs NUMA details to large page allocator. Given
processor proximity information, pcpu_lpage_build_unit_map() will find
fitting cpu -> unit mapping in which cpus in LOCAL_DISTANCE share the
same large page and not too much virtual address space is wasted.
This greatly reduces the unit and thus chunk size and wastes much less
address space for the first chunk. For example, on 4/4 NUMA machine,
the original code occupied 16MB of virtual space for the first chunk
while the new code only uses 4MB - one 2MB page for each node.

Currently cpu and unit are always identity mapped. To allow more
efficient large page support on NUMA and lazy allocation for possible
but offline cpus, cpu -> unit mapping needs to be non-linear and/or
sparse. This can be easily implemented by adding a cpu -> unit
mapping array and using it whenever looking up the matching unit for a
cpu.
The only unusal conversion is in pcpu_chunk_addr_search(). The passed
in address is unit0 based and unit0 might not be in use so it needs to
be converted to address of an in-use unit. This is easily done by
adding the unit offset for the current processor.

percpu core doesn't need to tack all the allocated pages. It needs to
know whether certain pages are populated and a way to reverse map
address to page when freeing. This patch drops pcpu_chunk->page[] and
use populated bitmap and vmalloc_to_page() lookup instead. Using
vmalloc_to_page() exclusively is also possible but complicates first
chunk handling, inflates cache footprint and prevents non-standard
memory allocation for percpu memory.
pcpu_chunk->page[] was used to track each page's allocation and
allowed asymmetric population which happens during failure path;
however, with single bitmap for all units, this is no longer possible.
Bite the bullet and rewrite (de)populate functions so that things are
done in clearly separated steps such that asymmetric population
doesn't happen. This makes the (de)population process much more
modular and will also ease implementing non-standard memory usage in
the future (e.g. large pages).
This makes @get_page_fn parameter to pcpu_setup_first_chunk()
unnecessary. The parameter is dropped and all first chunk helpers are
updated accordingly. Please note that despite the volume most changes
to first chunk helpers are symbol renames for variables which don't
need to be referenced outside of the helper anymore.
This change reduces memory usage and cache footprint of pcpu_chunk.
Now only #unit_pages bits are necessary per chunk.

At first, percpu first chunk was always setup page-by-page by the
generic code. To add other allocators, different parts of the generic
initialization was made optional. Now we have three allocators -
embed, remap and 4k. embed and remap fully handle allocation and
mapping of the first chunk while 4k still depends on generic code for
those. This makes the generic alloc/map paths specifci to 4k and
makes the code unnecessary complicated with optional generic
behaviors.
This patch makes the 4k allocator to allocate and map memory directly
instead of depending on the generic code. The only outside visible
change is that now dynamic area in the first chunk is allocated
up-front instead of on-demand. This doesn't make any meaningful
difference as the area is minimal (usually less than a page, just
enough to fill the alignment) on 4k allocator. Plus, dynamic area in
the first chunk usually gets fully used anyway.
This will allow simplification of pcpu_setpu_first_chunk() and removal
of chunk->page array.

This patch makes most !CONFIG_HAVE_SETUP_PER_CPU_AREA archs use
dynamic percpu allocator. The first chunk is allocated using
embedding helper and 8k is reserved for modules. This ensures that
the new allocator behaves almost identically to the original allocator
as long as static percpu variables are concerned, so it shouldn't
introduce much breakage.
s390 and alpha use custom SHIFT_PERCPU_PTR() to work around addressing
range limit the addressing model imposes. Unfortunately, this breaks
if the address is specified using a variable, so for now, the two
archs aren't converted.
The following architectures are affected by this change.
* sh
* arm
* cris
* mips
* sparc(32)
* blackfin
* avr32
* parisc (broken, under investigation)

CONFIG_HAVE_DYNAMIC_PER_CPU_AREA is replaced with its invert -

According to Andi, it isn't clear whether lpage allocator is worth the
trouble as there are many processors where PMD TLB is far scarcer than
PTE TLB. The advantage or disadvantage probably depends on the actual
size of percpu area and specific processor. As performance
degradation due to TLB pressure tends to be highly workload specific
and subtle, it is difficult to decide which way to go without more
data.

Impact: fix deadlock and allow atomic free
Percpu allocation always uses GFP_KERNEL and whole alloc/free paths
were protected by single mutex. All percpu allocations have been from
GFP_KERNEL-safe context and the original allocator had this assumption
too. However, by protecting both alloc and free paths with the same
mutex, the new allocator creates free -> alloc -> GFP_KERNEL
dependency which the original allocator didn't have. This can lead to
deadlock if free is called from FS or IO paths. Also, in general,
allocators are expected to allow free to be called from atomic
context.
This patch implements finer grained locking to break the deadlock and
allow atomic free. For details, please read the "Synchronization
rules" comment.

Impact: add reserved allocation functionality and use it for module
percpu variables
This patch implements reserved allocation from the first chunk. When
setting up the first chunk, arch can ask to set aside certain number
of bytes right after the core static area which is available only
through a separate reserved allocator. This will be used primarily
for module static percpu variables on architectures with limited
relocation range to ensure that the module perpcu symbols are inside
the relocatable range.
If reserved area is requested, the first chunk becomes reserved and
isn't available for regular allocation. If the first chunk also
includes piggy-back dynamic allocation area, a separate chunk mapping
the same region is created to serve dynamic allocation. The first one
is called static first chunk and the second dynamic first chunk.
Although they share the page map, their different area map
initializations guarantee they serve disjoint areas according to their
purposes.
If arch doesn't setup reserved area, reserved allocation is handled
like any other allocation.

This patch makes the first chunk initialize and use minimal statically

As non-power-of-two unit size means that empty chunks fall into the
same slot index as lightly occupied chunks which is bad for reclaming.
Reserve an extra slot for empty chunks.

Impact: allow larger alignment for early vmalloc area allocation
Some early vmalloc users might want larger alignment, for example, for
custom large page mapping. Add @align to vm_area_register_early().
While at it, drop docbook comment on non-existent @size.

Impact: fix short allocation leading to memory corruption
While dropping rvalue wrapping macros around global parameters,
pcpu_chunk_struct_size was set incorrectly resulting in shorter page
pointer array. Fix it.

Andrew was concerned about the unit of variables named or have suffix
size. Every usage in percpu allocator is in bytes but make it super
clear by adding comments.
While at it, make pcpu_depopulate_chunk() take int @off and @size like
everyone else.

Impact: new scalable dynamic percpu allocator which allows dynamic
percpu areas to be accessed the same way as static ones
Implement scalable dynamic percpu allocator which can be used for both
static and dynamic percpu areas. This will allow static and dynamic
areas to share faster direct access methods. This feature is optional
and enabled only when CONFIG_HAVE_DYNAMIC_PER_CPU_AREA is defined by
arch. Please read comment on top of mm/percpu.c for details.
