o kdump functionality reserves a per cpu area at boot time and exports the
physical address of that area to user space through sys interface. This
area stores some dump related information like cpu register states etc
at the time of crash.
o We were assuming that per cpu area always come from linearly mapped meory
region and using __pa() to determine physical address.
With percpu_alloc=page, per cpu area can come from vmalloc region also and
__pa() breaks.
o This patch implments a new function to convert per cpu address to

This patch introduces two things: First this_cpu_ptr and then per cpu
atomic operations.
this_cpu_ptr
------------
A common operation when dealing with cpu data is to get the instance of the
cpu data associated with the currently executing processor. This can be
optimized by
this_cpu_ptr(xx) = per_cpu_ptr(xx, smp_processor_id).
The problem with per_cpu_ptr(x, smp_processor_id) is that it requires
an array lookup to find the offset for the cpu. Processors typically
have the offset for the current cpu area in some kind of (arch dependent)
efficiently accessible register or memory location.
We can use that instead of doing the array lookup to speed up the
determination of the address of the percpu variable. This is particularly
significant because these lookups occur in performance critical paths
of the core kernel. this_cpu_ptr() can avoid memory accesses and
this_cpu_ptr comes in two flavors. The preemption context matters since we
are referring the the currently executing processor. In many cases we must
insure that the processor does not change while a code segment is executed.
__this_cpu_ptr -> Do not check for preemption context
this_cpu_ptr -> Check preemption context
The parameter to these operations is a per cpu pointer. This can be the
address of a statically defined per cpu variable (&per_cpu_var(xxx)) or
the address of a per cpu variable allocated with the per cpu allocator.
per cpu atomic operations: this_cpu_*(var, val)
-----------------------------------------------
this_cpu_* operations (like this_cpu_add(struct->y, value) operate on
abitrary scalars that are members of structures allocated with the new
per cpu allocator. They can also operate on static per_cpu variables
if they are passed to per_cpu_var() (See patch to use this_cpu_*
operations for vm statistics).
These operations are guaranteed to be atomic vs preemption when modifying
the scalar. The calculation of the per cpu offset is also guaranteed to
be atomic at the same time. This means that a this_cpu_* operation can be
safely used to modify a per cpu variable in a context where interrupts are
enabled and preemption is allowed. Many architectures can perform such
a per cpu atomic operation with a single instruction.
Note that the atomicity here is different from regular atomic operations.
Atomicity is only guaranteed for data accessed from the currently executing
processor. Modifications from other processors are still possible. There
must be other guarantees that the per cpu data is not modified from another
processor when using these instruction. The per cpu atomicity is created
by the fact that the processor either executes and instruction or not.
Embedded in the instruction is the relocation of the per cpu address to
the are reserved for the current processor and the RMW action. Therefore
interrupts or preemption cannot occur in the mids of this processing.
Generic fallback functions are used if an arch does not define optimized
this_cpu operations. The functions come also come in the two flavors used
for this_cpu_ptr().
The firstparameter is a scalar that is a member of a structure allocated
through allocpercpu or a per cpu variable (use per_cpu_var(xxx)). The
operations are similar to what percpu_add() and friends do.
this_cpu_read(scalar)
this_cpu_write(scalar, value)
this_cpu_add(scale, value)
this_cpu_sub(scalar, value)
this_cpu_inc(scalar)
this_cpu_dec(scalar)
this_cpu_and(scalar, value)
this_cpu_or(scalar, value)
this_cpu_xor(scalar, value)
Arch code can override the generic functions and provide optimized atomic
per cpu operations. These atomic operations must provide both the relocation
(x86 does it through a segment override) and the operation on the data in a
single instruction. Otherwise preempt needs to be disabled and there is no
gain from providing arch implementations.
A third variant is provided prefixed by irqsafe_. These variants are safe
against hardware interrupts on the *same* processor (all per cpu atomic
primitives are *always* *only* providing safety for code running on the
*same* processor!). The increment needs to be implemented by the hardware
in such a way that it is a single RMW instruction that is either processed
before or after an interrupt.

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.

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.

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

In non-SMP mode, the variable section attribute specified by DECLARE_PER_CPU()
does not agree with that specified by DEFINE_PER_CPU(). This means that
architectures that have a small data section references relative to a base
register may throw up linkage errors due to too great a displacement between
where the base register points and the per-CPU variable.
On FRV, the .h declaration says that the variable is in the .sdata section, but
the .c definition says it's actually in the .data section. The linker throws
up the following errors:
kernel/built-in.o: In function `release_task':
kernel/exit.c:78: relocation truncated to fit: R_FRV_GPREL12 against symbol `per_cpu__process_counts' defined in .data section in kernel/built-in.o

To fix this, DECLARE_PER_CPU() should simply apply the same section attribute
as does DEFINE_PER_CPU(). However, this is made slightly more complex by
virtue of the fact that there are several variants on DEFINE, so these need to

x86_64 uses 32bit relocations for symbol access and static percpu

This patch makes x86_64 reserve PERCPU_MODULE_RESERVE bytes in the

first chunk which is always inside the relocatable range.
This problem exists for any percpu allocator but is easily triggered
when using the embedding allocator because the second chunk is located
beyond 2GB on it.
This patch also changes the meaning of PERCPU_DYNAMIC_RESERVE such
that it only indicates the size of the area to reserve for dynamic
allocation as static and dynamic areas can be separate. New
PERCPU_DYNAMIC_RESERVED is increased by 4k for both 32 and 64bits as
the reserved area separation eats away some allocatable space and
having slightly more headroom (currently between 4 and 8k after
minimal boot sans module area) makes sense for common case
performance.

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.

the !SMP branch had a 'gfp' leftover:
include/linux/percpu.h: In function '__alloc_percpu':
include/linux/percpu.h:160: error: 'gfp' undeclared (first use in this function)
include/linux/percpu.h:160: error: (Each undeclared identifier is reported only once
include/linux/percpu.h:160: error: for each function it appears in.)
Use GFP_KERNEL like the SMP version does.

Impact: more latitude for first percpu chunk allocation
The first percpu chunk serves the kernel static percpu area and may or
may not contain extra room for further dynamic allocation.
Initialization of the first chunk needs to be done before normal
memory allocation service is up, so it has its own init path -
pcpu_setup_static().
It seems archs need more latitude while initializing the first chunk
for example to take advantage of large page mapping. This patch makes
the following changes to allow this.
* Define PERCPU_DYNAMIC_RESERVE to give arch hint about how much space
to reserve in the first chunk for further dynamic allocation.
* Rename pcpu_setup_static() to pcpu_setup_first_chunk().
* Make pcpu_setup_first_chunk() much more flexible by fetching page
pointer by callback and adding optional @unit_size, @free_size and
@base_addr arguments which allow archs to selectively part of chunk
initialization to their likings.

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.

Impact: kill unused functions
percpu_alloc() and its friends never saw much action. It was supposed
to replace the cpu-mask unaware __alloc_percpu() but it never happened
and in fact __percpu_alloc_mask() itself never really grew proper
up/down handling interface either (no exported interface for
populate/depopulate).
percpu allocation is about to go through major reimplementation and
there's no reason to carry this unused interface around. Replace it
with __alloc_percpu() and free_percpu().

This prepares for a real __alloc_percpu, by adding an alignment argument.
Only one place uses __alloc_percpu directly, and that's for a string.
tj: af_inet also uses __alloc_percpu(), update it.

Impact: cleanup
There are two allocated per-cpu accessor macros with almost identical
spelling. The original and far more popular is per_cpu_ptr (44
files), so change over the other 4 files.
tj: kill percpu_ptr() and update UP too

While examining holes in percpu section I found this :
c05f5000 D per_cpu__current_task
c05f5000 D __per_cpu_start
c05f5004 D per_cpu__cpu_number
c05f5008 D per_cpu__irq_regs
c05f500c d per_cpu__cpu_devices
c05f5040 D per_cpu__cyc2ns
<Big Hole of about 4000 bytes>
c05f6000 d per_cpu__cpuid4_info
c05f6004 d per_cpu__cache_kobject
c05f6008 d per_cpu__index_kobject
<Big Hole of about 4000 bytes>
c05f7000 D per_cpu__gdt_page
This is because gdt_page is a percpu variable, defined with
a page alignement, and linker is doing its job, two times because of .o
nesting in the build process.
I introduced a new macro DEFINE_PER_CPU_PAGE_ALIGNED() to avoid
wasting this space. All page aligned variables (only one at this time)
are put in a separate
subsection .data.percpu.page_aligned, at the very begining of percpu zone.
Before patch , on a x86_32 machine :
.data.percpu 30232 3227471872
.data.percpu 22168 3227471872
Thats 8064 bytes saved for each CPU.
