include/asm-powerpc/elf.h has 6 entries in ARCH_DLINFO. fs/binfmt_elf.c

The saved_auxv array must be terminated with an AT_NULL entry. Make the

This adds three new functions (or in one case to be more exact makes it
always available)
tty_termios_copy_hw
Copies all the hardware settings from one termios structure to the other.
This is intended for drivers that support little or no hardware setting
tty_termios_encode_baud_rate
Allows you to set the input and output baud rate in a termios structure. A
driver is supposed to set the resulting baud rate from a request so most
will want to use this function to set the resulting input and output rates
to match the hardware values. Internally it knows about keeping Bxxx
encoding when possible to maximise compatibility.
tty_encode_baud_rate
As above but for the tty's own current termios structure
I suspect this will initially need some tweaking as it gets enabled by
driver patches over the next few mm cycles so consider this lot -mm only
for the moment so it can stabilize and end up neat before it goes to base.
I've tried not to break any obscure architectures - if you get a speed you
can't represent the code will print warnings on non updated termios systems
but not break.
Once this is merged and seems sane I've got a growing pile of driver
updates to use it - notably for USB serial drivers.

This patch makes shrink_dcache_sb consistent with dentry pruning policy.
On the first pass we iterate over dentry unused list and prepare some
dentries for removal.
However, since the existing code moves evicted dentries to the beginning of
the LRU it can happen that fresh dentries from other superblocks will be
inserted *before* our dentries.
This can result in significant slowdown of shrink_dcache_sb(). Moreover,
for virtual filesystems like unionfs which can call dput() during dentries
kill existing code results in O(n^2) complexity.
We observed 2 minutes shrink_dcache_sb() with only 35000 dentries.
To avoid this effects we propose to isolate sb dentries at the end
of LRU list.

Make request_key() and co fundamentally asynchronous to make it easier for
NFS to make use of them. There are now accessor functions that do
asynchronous constructions, a wait function to wait for construction to
complete, and a completion function for the key type to indicate completion
of construction.
Note that the construction queue is now gone. Instead, keys under
construction are linked in to the appropriate keyring in advance, and that
anyone encountering one must wait for it to be complete before they can use
it. This is done automatically for userspace.
The following auxiliary changes are also made:
(1) Key type implementation stuff is split from linux/key.h into
linux/key-type.h.
(2) AF_RXRPC provides a way to allocate null rxrpc-type keys so that AFS does
not need to call key_instantiate_and_link() directly.
(3) Adjust the debugging macros so that they're -Wformat checked even if
they are disabled, and make it so they can be enabled simply by defining
__KDEBUG to be consistent with other code of mine.
(3) Documentation.

Allow NBD I/O to be cancelled when a network outage occurs. Previously, I/O
would just hang, and if enough I/O was hung in nbd, the system (at least
user-level) would completely hang until a TCP timeout (default, 15 minutes)
occurred.
The patch introduces a new ioctl NBD_SET_TIMEOUT that allows a transmit
timeout value (in seconds) to be specified. Any network send that exceeds the
timeout will be cancelled and the nbd connection will be shut down. I've
tested with various timeout values and 6 seconds seems to be a good choice for
the timeout. If the NBD_SET_TIMEOUT ioctl is not called, you get the old (I/O

This patch set frees the restriction that makedumpfile users should install a
vmlinux file (including the debugging information) into each system.
makedumpfile command is the dump filtering feature for kdump. It creates a
small dumpfile by filtering unnecessary pages for the analysis. To
distinguish unnecessary pages, it needs a vmlinux file including the debugging
information. These days, the debugging package becomes a huge file, and it is
hard to install it into each system.
To solve the problem, kdump developers discussed it at lkml and kexec-ml. As
the result, we reached the conclusion that necessary information for dump
filtering (called "vmcoreinfo") should be embedded into the first kernel file
and it should be accessed through /proc/vmcore during the second kernel.

Fix f_version type: should be u64 instead of long
There is a type inconsistency between struct inode i_version and struct file
f_version.
fs.h:
struct inode
u64 i_version;
and
struct file
unsigned long f_version;
Users do:
fs/ext3/dir.c:
if (filp->f_version != inode->i_version) {
So why isn't f_version a u64 ? It becomes a problem if versions gets
higher than 2^32 and we are on an architecture where longs are 32 bits.
This patch changes the f_version type to u64, and updates the users accordingly.
It applies to 2.6.23-rc2-mm2.

This adds the MMF_DUMP_ELF_HEADERS option to /proc/pid/coredump_filter.
This dumps the first page (only) of a private file mapping if it appears to
be a mapping of an ELF file. Including these pages in the core dump may
give sufficient identifying information to associate the original DSO and
executable file images and their debugging information with a core file in
a generic way just from its contents (e.g. when those binaries were built
with ld --build-id). I expect this to become the default behavior
eventually. Existing versions of gdb can be confused by the core dumps it
creates, so it won't enabled by default for some time to come. Soon many
people will have systems with a gdb that handle these dumps, so they can
arrange to set the bit at boot and have it inherited system-wide.
This also cleans up the checking of the MMF_DUMP_* flag bits, which did not
need to be using atomic macros.

This adds the linux/elfcore-compat.h header file, which is the CONFIG_COMPAT
analog of the linux/elfcore.h header. Each arch that needs to fake out
fs/binfmt_elf.c for its compat code can use this header to replace the
hand-copied definitions of the compat variants of struct elf_prstatus et al.
Only the pr_reg field varies by arch, so asm/{compat,elf}.h must define
compat_elf_gregset_t before linux/elfcore-compat.h can be used.
It's a clean-up that every arch with compat core dumping code can benefit
from. I only touched the ones I have handy to test at home. Doing the same
for each other arch should be straightforward, and I'm happy to offer tips.

For some time /proc/sys/kernel/core_pattern has been able to set its output
destination as a pipe, allowing a user space helper to receive and
intellegently process a core. This infrastructure however has some
shortcommings which can be enhanced. Specifically:
1) The coredump code in the kernel should ignore RLIMIT_CORE limitation
when core_pattern is a pipe, since file system resources are not being
consumed in this case, unless the user application wishes to save the core,
at which point the app is restricted by usual file system limits and
restrictions.
2) The core_pattern code should be able to parse and pass options to the
user space helper as an argv array. The real core limit of the uid of the
crashing proces should also be passable to the user space helper (since it
is overridden to zero when called).
3) Some miscellaneous bugs need to be cleaned up (specifically the
recognition of a recursive core dump, should the user mode helper itself
crash. Also, the core dump code in the kernel should not wait for the user
mode helper to exit, since the same context is responsible for writing to
the pipe, and a read of the pipe by the user mode helper will result in a
deadlock.
This patch:
Remove the check of RLIMIT_CORE if core_pattern is a pipe. In the event that
core_pattern is a pipe, the entire core will be fed to the user mode helper.

Add in support for SunOS 4.1.x flavor of BSD 4.2 UFS filing system Macros have
been put in to alow suport for the old static table Cylinder Groups but this
implementation does not use them yet.
This also fixes Solaris UFS filing system access by disabling fast symbolic
links as Sun's version of UFS does not support on-disk fast symbolic links.
Tested by:
Ppartitioning a new disk using SunOS 4.1.1, creating a UFS filing system on
one of the partitions and writing some files to the filing system.
Using Linux-2.6.22 (patched) to read the files and then write a shed load of
files to the UFS partition.
Using SunOS 4.1.1 to verify the filing system is OK and to check the files.
The test host is a sun4c SS1 Clone.

Using mtab is problematic for various reasons, one of them is that
unprivileged mounts won't turn up in there. So we want to get rid of it, and
use /proc/mounts instead.
But most filesystems are lazy, and are not showing all mount options. Which
means, that without mtab, the user won't be able to see some or all of the
options.
It would be nice if the generic code could remember the mount options, and
show them without the need to add extra code to filesystems. But this is not
easy, because different filesystems handle mount options given options, and
not tough the rest. This is not taken into account by mount(8) either, so
/etc/mtab will be broken in this case.

Introduces new zone flag interface for testing and setting flags:
int zone_test_and_set_flag(struct zone *zone, zone_flags_t flag)
Instead of setting and clearing ZONE_RECLAIM_LOCKED each time shrink_zone() is
called, this flag is test and set before starting zone reclaim. Zone reclaim
starts in __alloc_pages() when a zone's watermark fails and the system is in
zone_reclaim_mode. If it's already in reclaim, there's no need to start again
so it is simply considered full for that allocation attempt.
There is a change of behavior with regard to concurrent zone shrinking. It is
now possible for try_to_free_pages() or kswapd to already be shrinking a
particular zone when __alloc_pages() starts zone reclaim. In this case, it is
possible for two concurrent threads to invoke shrink_zone() for a single zone.
This change forbids a zone to be in zone reclaim twice, which was always the
behavior, but allows for concurrent try_to_free_pages() or kswapd shrinking
when starting zone reclaim.

Instead of testing for overlap in the memory nodes of the the nearest
exclusive ancestor of both current and the candidate task, it is better to
simply test for intersection between the task's mems_allowed in their task
descriptors. This does not require taking callback_mutex since it is only
used as a hint in the badness scoring.
Tasks that do not have an intersection in their mems_allowed with the current
task are not explicitly restricted from being OOM killed because it is quite
possible that the candidate task has allocated memory there before and has
since changed its mems_allowed.

OOM killer synchronization should be done with zone granularity so that memory
policy and cpuset allocations may have their corresponding zones locked and
allow parallel kills for other OOM conditions that may exist elsewhere in the
system. DMA allocations can be targeted at the zone level, which would not be
possible if locking was done in nodes or globally.
Synchronization shall be done with a variation of "trylocks." The goal is to
put the current task to sleep and restart the failed allocation attempt later
if the trylock fails. Otherwise, the OOM killer is invoked.
Each zone in the zonelist that __alloc_pages() was called with is checked for
the newly-introduced ZONE_OOM_LOCKED flag. If any zone has this flag present,
the "trylock" to serialize the OOM killer fails and returns zero. Otherwise,
all the zones have ZONE_OOM_LOCKED set and the try_set_zone_oom() function
returns non-zero.

Convert the int all_unreclaimable member of struct zone to unsigned long
flags. This can now be used to specify several different zone flags such as
all_unreclaimable and reclaim_in_progress, which can now be removed and
converted to a per-zone flag.
Flags are set and cleared as follows:
zone_set_flag(struct zone *zone, zone_flags_t flag)
zone_clear_flag(struct zone *zone, zone_flags_t flag)
Defines the first zone flags, ZONE_ALL_UNRECLAIMABLE and ZONE_RECLAIM_LOCKED,
which have the same semantics as the old zone->all_unreclaimable and
zone->reclaim_in_progress, respectively. Also converts all current users that
set or clear either flag to use the new interface.
Helper functions are defined to test the flags:
int zone_is_all_unreclaimable(const struct zone *zone)
int zone_is_reclaim_locked(const struct zone *zone)
All flag operators are of the atomic variety because there are currently
readers that are implemented that do not take zone->lock.

Scale writeback cache per backing device, proportional to its writeout speed.
By decoupling the BDI dirty thresholds a number of problems we currently have
will go away, namely:
- mutual interference starvation (for any number of BDIs);
- deadlocks with stacked BDIs (loop, FUSE and local NFS mounts).
It might be that all dirty pages are for a single BDI while other BDIs are
idling. By giving each BDI a 'fair' share of the dirty limit, each one can have
dirty pages outstanding and make progress.
A global threshold also creates a deadlock for stacked BDIs; when A writes to
B, and A generates enough dirty pages to get throttled, B will never start
writeback until the dirty pages go away. Again, by giving each BDI its own
'independent' dirty limit, this problem is avoided.
So the problem is to determine how to distribute the total dirty limit across
the BDIs fairly and efficiently. A DBI that has a large dirty limit but does
not have any dirty pages outstanding is a waste.
What is done is to keep a floating proportion between the DBIs based on
writeback completions. This way faster/more active devices get a larger share
than slower/idle devices.

These patches aim to improve balance_dirty_pages() and directly address three
issues:
1) inter device starvation
2) stacked device deadlocks
3) inter process starvation
1 and 2 are a direct result from removing the global dirty limit and using
per device dirty limits. By giving each device its own dirty limit is will
no longer starve another device, and the cyclic dependancy on the dirty limit
is broken.
In order to efficiently distribute the dirty limit across the independant
devices a floating proportion is used, this will allocate a share of the total
limit proportional to the device's recent activity.
3 is done by also scaling the dirty limit proportional to the current task's
recent dirty rate.

it dumps the Altivec/VMX registers (VR[0] - VR[31], VSCR and VRSAVE) in the
same format as the ptrace get_vrregs(), and add the appropriate glue
typedef and #defines to make it work.
A new note type of NT_PPC_VMX was chosen to be 0x100 (arbitrarily) because
it allows the low range values to be used for more generic purposes and
0x100 seems an adequate starting point for PowerPC extensions.

Replace NT_PRXFPREG with ELF_CORE_XFPREG_TYPE in the coredump code which
allows for more flexibility in the note type for the state of 'extended
floating point' implementations in coredumps. New note types can now be
added with an appropriate #define.
This does #define ELF_CORE_XFPREG_TYPE to be NT_PRXFPREG in all
current users so there's are no change in behaviour.
This will let us use different note types on powerpc for the Altivec/VMX
state that some PowerPC cpus have (G4, PPC970, POWER6) and for the SPE
(signal processing extension) state that some embedded PowerPC cpus from
Freescale have.

Try to fix the mess created by sysfs braindamage.
- refactor code internal to fs/namei.c a little to avoid too much
duplication:
o __lookup_hash_kern is renamed back to __lookup_hash
o the old __lookup_hash goes away, permission checks moves to
the two callers
o useless inline qualifiers on above functions go away
- lookup_one_len_kern loses it's last argument and is renamed to
lookup_one_noperm to make it's useage a little more clear
- added kerneldoc comments to describe lookup_one_len aswell as
lookup_one_noperm and make it very clear that no one should use
the latter ever.

PA6T has a bug where the slbie instruction does not honor the large
segment bit. As a result, we have to always use slbia when switching
context.
We don't have to worry about changing the slbie's during fault processing,
since they should never be replacing one VSID with another using the
same ESID. I.e. there's no risk for inserting duplicate entries due to a
failed slbie of the old entry. So as long as we clear it out on context
switch we should be fine.

Currently, the set_lazy_mode pv_op is overloaded with 5 functions:
1. enter lazy cpu mode
2. leave lazy cpu mode
3. enter lazy mmu mode
4. leave lazy mmu mode
5. flush pending batched operations
This complicates each paravirt backend, since it needs to deal with
all the possible state transitions, handling flushing, etc. In
particular, flushing is quite distinct from the other 4 functions, and
seems to just cause complication.
This patch removes the set_lazy_mode operation, and adds "enter" and
"leave" lazy mode operations on mmu_ops and cpu_ops. All the logic
associated with enter and leaving lazy states is now in common code
(basically BUG_ONs to make sure that no mode is current when entering
a lazy mode, and make sure that the mode is current when leaving).
Also, flush is handled in a common way, by simply leaving and
re-entering the lazy mode.
The result is that the Xen, lguest and VMI lazy mode implementations
are much simpler.

This patch refactors the paravirt_ops structure into groups of
functionally related ops:
pv_info - random info, rather than function entrypoints
pv_init_ops - functions used at boot time (some for module_init too)
pv_misc_ops - lazy mode, which didn't fit well anywhere else
pv_time_ops - time-related functions
pv_cpu_ops - various privileged instruction ops
pv_irq_ops - operations for managing interrupt state
pv_apic_ops - APIC operations
pv_mmu_ops - operations for managing pagetables
There are several motivations for this:
1. Some of these ops will be general to all x86, and some will be
i386/x86-64 specific. This makes it easier to share common stuff
while allowing separate implementations where needed.
2. At the moment we must export all of paravirt_ops, but modules only
need selected parts of it. This allows us to export on a case by case
basis (and also choose which export license we want to apply).
3. Functional groupings make things a bit more readable.
Struct paravirt_ops is now only used as a template to generate
patch-site identifiers, and to extract function pointers for inserting
into jmp/calls when patching. It is only instantiated when needed.

The i.MX frame-buffer read operation should be faster for all configurations
then drawing each individual character again in response to scroll events.
The nonstandard fields allows to configure frame-buffer special options flags
for different display configurations by board specific initialization code.
One of such specific options is reversed order of pixels in each individual
byte. i.MX frame-buffer seems to be designed for big-endian use first. The
byte order is correctly configured for little-endian ordering, but if 1, 2 or
4 bits per pixel are used, pixels ordering is incompatible to Linux generic
frame-buffer drawing functions.
The patch "Allow generic BitBLT functions to work with swapped pixel order in
bytes" introduces required functionality into FBDEV core. The pixels ordering
selection has to be enabled at compile time CONFIG_FB_CFB_REV_PIXELS_IN_BYTE
and for each display configuration which requires it by flag
FB_NONSTD_REV_PIX_IN_B in "nonstd" field of info structure.
This patch provides way for board specific code to select this option.

Various console drivers are able to resize the screen via the con_resize()
hook. This hook is also visible in userspace via the TIOCWINSZ, VT_RESIZE and
VT_RESIZEX ioctl's. One particular utility, SVGATextMode, expects that
con_resize() of the VGA console will always return success even if the
resulting screen is not compatible with the hardware. However, this
particular behavior of the VGA console, as reported in Kernel Bugzilla Bug
7513, can cause undefined behavior if the user starts with a console size
larger than 80x25.
To work around this problem, add an extra parameter to con_resize(). This
parameter is ignored by drivers except for vgacon. If this parameter is
non-zero, then the resize request came from a VT_RESIZE or VT_RESIZEX ioctl
and vgacon will always return success. If this parameter is zero, vgacon will
return -EINVAL if the requested size is not compatible with the hardware. The
latter is the more correct behavior.
With this change, SVGATextMode should still work correctly while in-kernel and
stty resize calls can expect correct behavior from vgacon.

This patch adds support for the other three palette formats possible with
the PXA LCD controller. This is required on boards where an LCD is connected
with all its 18 bits. With this patch, it's possible to use an 8-bit mode
with 18-bit palette entries. This used to be possible in 2.4 kernels but
disappeared in 2.6. With current kernels, you can only get wrong colours
out of an LCD connected this way.
Users can choose the palette format by doing something like this
in their board definition:
static struct pxafb_mach_info my_fb_info = {
[...]
.lccr3 = LCCR3_OutEnH | LCCR3_PixFlEdg | LCCR3_PDFOR_3,

uvesafb is an enhanced version of vesafb. It uses a userspace helper (v86d)
to execute calls to the x86 Video BIOS functions. The driver is not limited
to any specific arch and whether it works on a given arch or not depends on
that arch being supported by the userspace daemon. It has been tested on
x86_32 and x86_64.
A single BIOS call is represented by an instance of the uvesafb_ktask
structure. This structure contains a buffer, a completion struct and a
uvesafb_task substructure, containing the values of the x86 registers, a flags
field and a field indicating the length of the buffer. Whenever a BIOS call
is made in the driver, uvesafb_exec() builds a message using the uvesafb_task
substructure and the contents of the buffer. This message is then assigned a
random ack number and sent to the userspace daemon using the connector
interface.
The message's sequence number is used as an index for the uvfb_tasks array,
which provides a mapping from the messages coming from userspace to the
in-kernel uvesafb_ktask structs.
The userspace daemon performs the requested operation and sends a reply in the
form of a uvesafb_task struct and, optionally, a buffer. The seq and ack
numbers in the reply should be exactly the same as those in the request.
Each message from userspace is processed by uvesafb_cn_callback() and after
passing a few sanity checks leads to the completion of a BIOS call request.

Remove the cpuset hooks that defined sched domains depending on the setting
of the 'cpu_exclusive' flag.
The cpu_exclusive flag can only be set on a child if it is set on the
parent.
This made that flag painfully unsuitable for use as a flag defining a
partitioning of a system.
It was entirely unobvious to a cpuset user what partitioning of sched
domains they would be causing when they set that one cpu_exclusive bit on
one cpuset, because it depended on what CPUs were in the remainder of that
cpusets siblings and child cpusets, after subtracting out other
cpu_exclusive cpusets.
Furthermore, there was no way on production systems to query the
result.
Using the cpu_exclusive flag for this was simply wrong from the get go.
Fortunately, it was sufficiently borked that so far as I know, almost no
successful use has been made of this. One real time group did use it to
affectively isolate CPUs from any load balancing efforts. They are willing
to adapt to alternative mechanisms for this, such as someway to manipulate
the list of isolated CPUs on a running system. They can do without this
present cpu_exclusive based mechanism while we develop an alternative.
There is a real risk, to the best of my understanding, of users
accidentally setting up a partitioned scheduler domains, inhibiting desired
load balancing across all their CPUs, due to the nonobvious (from the
cpuset perspective) side affects of the cpu_exclusive flag.
Furthermore, since there was no way on a running system to see what one was
doing with sched domains, this change will be invisible to any using code.
Unless they have real insight to the scheduler load balancing choices, they
will be unable to detect that this change has been made in the kernel's
behaviour.
Initial discussion on lkml of this patch has generated much comment. My
(probably controversial) take on that discussion is that it has reached a
rough concensus that the current cpuset cpu_exclusive mechanism for
defining sched domains is borked. There is no concensus on the
replacement. But since we can remove this mechanism, and since its
continued presence risks causing unwanted partitioning of the schedulers
load balancing, we should remove it while we can, as we proceed to work the
replacement scheduler domain mechanisms.

Direct Cache Access (DCA) is a method for warming the CPU cache before data
is used, with the intent of lessening the impact of cache misses. This
patch adds a manager and interface for matching up client requests for DCA
services with devices that offer DCA services.
In order to use DCA, a module must do bus writes with the appropriate tag
bits set to trigger a cache read for a specific CPU. However, different
CPUs and chipsets can require different sets of tag bits, and the methods
for determining the correct bits may be simple hardcoding or may be a
hardware specific magic incantation. This interface is a way for DCA
clients to find the correct tag bits for the targeted CPU without needing
to know the specifics.

}
The bodies of foo_skas are now folded into foo, and their declarations (and
sometimes entire header files) are deleted.
In addition, the union uml_pt_regs, which was a union between the tt and skas
register formats, is now a struct, with the tt-mode arm of the union being

This patchset throws out tt mode, which has been non-functional for a while.
This is done in phases, interspersed with code cleanups on the affected files.
The removal is done as follows:
remove all code, config options, and files which depend on
CONFIG_MODE_TT
get rid of the CHOOSE_MODE macro, which decided whether to
call tt-mode or skas-mode code, and replace invocations with their
skas portions
replace all now-trivial procedures with their skas equivalents
There are now a bunch of now-redundant pieces of data structures, including
mode-specific pieces of the thread structure, pt_regs, and mm_context. These
are all replaced with their skas-specific contents.
As part of the ongoing style compliance project, I made a style pass over all
files that were changed. There are three such patches, one for each phase,
covering the files affected by that phase but no later ones.
I noticed that we weren't freeing the LDT state associated with a process when
it exited, so that's fixed in one of the later patches.
The last patch is a tidying patch which I've had for a while, but which caused
inexplicable crashes under tt mode. Since that is no longer a problem, this
can now go in.
This patch:
Start getting rid of tt mode support.
This patch throws out CONFIG_MODE_TT and all config options, code, and files
which depend on it.
CONFIG_MODE_SKAS is gone and everything that depends on it is included
unconditionally.
The few changed lines are in re-written Kconfig help, lines which needed
something skas-related removed from them, and a few more which weren't
strictly deletions.

The maximum size of the huge page pool can be controlled using the overall
size of the hugetlb filesystem (via its 'size' mount option). However in the
common case the this will not be set as the pool is traditionally fixed in
size at boot time. In order to maintain the expected semantics, we need to
prevent the pool expanding by default.
This patch introduces a new sysctl controlling dynamic pool resizing. When
this is enabled the pool will expand beyond its base size up to the size of
the hugetlb filesystem. It is disabled by default.

We touch a cacheline in the kmem_cache structure for zeroing to get the
size. However, the hot paths in slab_alloc and slab_free do not reference
any other fields in kmem_cache, so we may have to just bring in the
cacheline for this one access.
Add a new field to kmem_cache_cpu that contains the object size. That
cacheline must already be used in the hotpaths. So we save one cacheline
on every slab_alloc if we zero.
We need to update the kmem_cache_cpu object size if an aliasing operation
changes the objsize of an non debug slab.

The kmem_cache_cpu structures introduced are currently an array placed in the
kmem_cache struct. Meaning the kmem_cache_cpu structures are overwhelmingly
on the wrong node for systems with a higher amount of nodes. These are
performance critical structures since the per node information has
to be touched for every alloc and free in a slab.
In order to place the kmem_cache_cpu structure optimally we put an array
of pointers to kmem_cache_cpu structs in kmem_cache (similar to SLAB).
However, the kmem_cache_cpu structures can now be allocated in a more
intelligent way.
We would like to put per cpu structures for the same cpu but different
slab caches in cachelines together to save space and decrease the cache
footprint. However, the slab allocators itself control only allocations
per node. We set up a simple per cpu array for every processor with
100 per cpu structures which is usually enough to get them all set up right.
If we run out then we fall back to kmalloc_node. This also solves the
bootstrap problem since we do not have to use slab allocator functions
early in boot to get memory for the small per cpu structures.
Pro:
- NUMA aware placement improves memory performance
- All global structures in struct kmem_cache become readonly
- Dense packing of per cpu structures reduces cacheline
footprint in SMP and NUMA.
- Potential avoidance of exclusive cacheline fetches
on the free and alloc hotpath since multiple kmem_cache_cpu
structures are in one cacheline. This is particularly important
for the kmalloc array.
Cons:
- Additional reference to one read only cacheline (per cpu
array of pointers to kmem_cache_cpu) in both slab_alloc()
and slab_free().

We need the offset from the page struct during slab_alloc and slab_free. In
both cases we also reference the cacheline of the kmem_cache_cpu structure.
We can therefore move the offset field into the kmem_cache_cpu structure
freeing up 16 bits in the page struct.
Moving the offset allows an allocation from slab_alloc() without touching the
page struct in the hot path.
The only thing left in slab_free() that touches the page struct cacheline for
per cpu freeing is the checking of SlabDebug(page). The next patch deals with
that.
Use the available 16 bits to broaden page->inuse. More than 64k objects per
slab become possible and we can get rid of the checks for that limitation.
No need anymore to shrink the order of slabs if we boot with 2M sized slabs
(slub_min_order=9).
No need anymore to switch off the offset calculation for very large slabs
since the field in the kmem_cache_cpu structure is 32 bits and so the offset
field can now handle slab sizes of up to 8GB.

A remote free may access the same page struct that also contains the lockless
freelist for the cpu slab. If objects have a short lifetime and are freed by
a different processor then remote frees back to the slab from which we are
currently allocating are frequent. The cacheline with the page struct needs
to be repeately acquired in exclusive mode by both the allocating thread and
the freeing thread. If this is frequent enough then performance will suffer
because of cacheline bouncing.
This patchset puts the lockless_freelist pointer in its own cacheline. In
order to make that happen we introduce a per cpu structure called
kmem_cache_cpu.
Instead of keeping an array of pointers to page structs we now keep an array
to a per cpu structure that--among other things--contains the pointer to the
lockless freelist. The freeing thread can then keep possession of exclusive
access to the page struct cacheline while the allocating thread keeps its
exclusive access to the cacheline containing the per cpu structure.
This works as long as the allocating cpu is able to service its request
from the lockless freelist. If the lockless freelist runs empty then the
allocating thread needs to acquire exclusive access to the cacheline with
the page struct lock the slab.
The allocating thread will then check if new objects were freed to the per
cpu slab. If so it will keep the slab as the cpu slab and continue with the
recently remote freed objects. So the allocating thread can take a series
of just freed remote pages and dish them out again. Ideally allocations
could be just recycling objects in the same slab this way which will lead
to an ideal allocation / remote free pattern.
The number of objects that can be handled in this way is limited by the
capacity of one slab. Increasing slab size via slub_min_objects/
slub_max_order may increase the number of objects and therefore performance.
If the allocating thread runs out of objects and finds that no objects were
put back by the remote processor then it will retrieve a new slab (from the
partial lists or from the page allocator) and start with a whole
new set of objects while the remote thread may still be freeing objects to
the old cpu slab. This may then repeat until the new slab is also exhausted.
If remote freeing has freed objects in the earlier slab then that earlier
slab will now be on the partial freelist and the allocating thread will
pick that slab next for allocation. So the loop is extended. However,
both threads need to take the list_lock to make the swizzling via
the partial list happen.
It is likely that this kind of scheme will keep the objects being passed
around to a small set that can be kept in the cpu caches leading to increased
performance.
More code cleanups become possible:
- Instead of passing a cpu we can now pass a kmem_cache_cpu structure around.
Allows reducing the number of parameters to various functions.
- Can define a new node_match() function for NUMA to encapsulate locality
checks.
Effect on allocations:
Cachelines touched before this patch:
Write: page cache struct and first cacheline of object
Cachelines touched after this patch:
Write: kmem_cache_cpu cacheline and first cacheline of object
Read: page cache struct (but see later patch that avoids touching
that cacheline)
The handling when the lockless alloc list runs empty gets to be a bit more
complicated since another cacheline has now to be written to. But that is
halfway out of the hot path.
Effect on freeing:
Cachelines touched before this patch:
Write: page_struct and first cacheline of object
Cachelines touched after this patch depending on how we free:
Write(to cpu_slab): kmem_cache_cpu struct and first cacheline of object
Write(to other): page struct and first cacheline of object
Read(to cpu_slab): page struct to id slab etc. (but see later patch that
avoids touching the page struct on free)
Read(to other): cpu local kmem_cache_cpu struct to verify its not
the cpu slab.
Summary:
Pro:
- Distinct cachelines so that concurrent remote frees and local
allocs on a cpuslab can occur without cacheline bouncing.
- Avoids potential bouncing cachelines because of neighboring
per cpu pointer updates in kmem_cache's cpu_slab structure since
it now grows to a cacheline (Therefore remove the comment
that talks about that concern).
Cons:
- Freeing objects now requires the reading of one additional
cacheline. That can be mitigated for some cases by the following
patches but its not possible to completely eliminate these
references.
- Memory usage grows slightly.
The size of each per cpu object is blown up from one word
(pointing to the page_struct) to one cacheline with various data.
So this is NR_CPUS*NR_SLABS*L1_BYTES more memory use. Lets say
NR_SLABS is 100 and a cache line size of 128 then we have just
increased SLAB metadata requirements by 12.8k per cpu.

The second part is a more detailed version of /proc/buddyinfo and looks like

The third part looks like
Number of blocks type Unmovable Reclaimable Movable Reserve
Node 0, zone DMA 0 1 2 1

To walk the zones within a node with interrupts disabled, walk_zones_in_node()
is introduced and shared between /proc/buddyinfo, /proc/zoneinfo and
/proc/pagetypeinfo to reduce code duplication. It seems specific to what
vmstat.c requires but could be broken out as a general utility function in
mmzone.c if there were other other potential users.

Currently mobility grouping works at the MAX_ORDER_NR_PAGES level. This makes
sense for the majority of users where this is also the huge page size.
However, on platforms like ia64 where the huge page size is runtime
configurable it is desirable to group at a lower order. On x86_64 and
occasionally on x86, the hugepage size may not always be MAX_ORDER_NR_PAGES.
This patch groups pages together based on the value of HUGETLB_PAGE_ORDER. It
uses a compile-time constant if possible and a variable where the huge page
size is runtime configurable.
It is assumed that grouping should be done at the lowest sensible order and
that the user would not want to override this. If this is not true,
page_block order could be forced to a variable initialised via a boot-time
kernel parameter.
One potential issue with this patch is that IA64 now parses hugepagesz with
early_param() instead of __setup(). __setup() is called after the memory
allocator has been initialised and the pageblock bitmaps already setup. In
tests on one IA64 there did not seem to be any problem with using
early_param() and in fact may be more correct as it guarantees the parameter
is handled before the parsing of hugepages=.

Grouping high-order atomic allocations together was intended to allow
bursty users of atomic allocations to work such as e1000 in situations
where their preallocated buffers were depleted. This did not work in at
least one case with a wireless network adapter needing order-1 allocations
frequently. To resolve that, the free pages used for min_free_kbytes were
moved to separate contiguous blocks with the patch
bias-the-location-of-pages-freed-for-min_free_kbytes-in-the-same-max_order_nr_pages-blocks.
It is felt that keeping the free pages in the same contiguous blocks should
be sufficient for bursty short-lived high-order atomic allocations to
succeed, maybe even with the e1000. Even if there is a failure, increasing
the value of min_free_kbytes will free pages as contiguous bloks in
contrast to the standard buddy allocator which makes no attempt to keep the
minimum number of free pages contiguous.
This patch backs out grouping high order atomic allocations together to
determine if it is really needed or not. If a new report comes in about
high-order atomic allocations failing, the feature can be reintroduced to
determine if it fixes the problem or not. As a side-effect, this patch
reduces by 1 the number of bits required to track the mobility type of
pages within a MAX_ORDER_NR_PAGES block.

The standard buddy allocator always favours the smallest block of pages.
The effect of this is that the pages free to satisfy min_free_kbytes tends
to be preserved since boot time at the same location of memory ffor a very
long time and as a contiguous block. When an administrator sets the
reserve at 16384 at boot time, it tends to be the same MAX_ORDER blocks
that remain free. This allows the occasional high atomic allocation to
succeed up until the point the blocks are split. In practice, it is
difficult to split these blocks but when they do split, the benefit of
having min_free_kbytes for contiguous blocks disappears. Additionally,
increasing min_free_kbytes once the system has been running for some time
has no guarantee of creating contiguous blocks.
On the other hand, CONFIG_PAGE_GROUP_BY_MOBILITY favours splitting large
blocks when there are no free pages of the appropriate type available. A
side-effect of this is that all blocks in memory tends to be used up and
the contiguous free blocks from boot time are not preserved like in the
vanilla allocator. This can cause a problem if a new caller is unwilling
to reclaim or does not reclaim for long enough.
A failure scenario was found for a wireless network device allocating
order-1 atomic allocations but the allocations were not intense or frequent
enough for a whole block of pages to be preserved for MIGRATE_HIGHALLOC.
This was reproduced on a desktop by booting with mem=256mb, forcing the
driver to allocate at order-1, running a bittorrent client (downloading a
debian ISO) and building a kernel with -j2.
This patch addresses the problem on the desktop machine booted with
mem=256mb. It works by setting aside a reserve of MAX_ORDER_NR_PAGES
blocks, the number of which depends on the value of min_free_kbytes. These
blocks are only fallen back to when there is no other free pages. Then the
smallest possible page is used just like the normal buddy allocator instead
of the largest possible page to preserve contiguous pages The pages in free
lists in the reserve blocks are never taken for another migrate type. The
results is that even if min_free_kbytes is set to a low value, contiguous
blocks will be preserved in the MIGRATE_RESERVE blocks.
This works better than the vanilla allocator because if min_free_kbytes is
increased, a new reserve block will be chosen based on the location of
reclaimable pages and the block will free up as contiguous pages. In the
vanilla allocator, no effort is made to target a block of pages to free as
contiguous pages and min_free_kbytes pages are scattered randomly.
This effect has been observed on the test machine. min_free_kbytes was set
initially low but it was kept as a contiguous free block within
MIGRATE_RESERVE. min_free_kbytes was then set to a higher value and over a
period of time, the free blocks were within the reserve and coalescing.
How long it takes to free up depends on how quickly LRU is rotating.
Amusingly, this means that more activity will free the blocks faster.
This mechanism potentially replaces MIGRATE_HIGHALLOC as it may be more
effective than grouping contiguous free pages together. It all depends on
whether the number of active atomic high allocations exceeds
min_free_kbytes or not. If the number of active allocations exceeds
min_free_kbytes, it's worth it but maybe in that situation, min_free_kbytes
should be set higher. Once there are no more reports of allocation
failures, a patch will be submitted that backs out MIGRATE_HIGHALLOC and
see if the reports stay missing.

failure scenario and testing patches and scenarios.

There are problems in the use of SPARSEMEM and pageblock flags that causes
problems on ia64.
The first part of the problem is that units are incorrect in
SECTION_BLOCKFLAGS_BITS computation. This results in a map_section's
section_mem_map being treated as part of a bitmap which isn't good. This
was evident with an invalid virtual address when mem_init attempted to free
bootmem pages while relinquishing control from the bootmem allocator.
The second part of the problem occurs because the pageblock flags bitmap is
be located with the mem_section. The SECTIONS_PER_ROOT computation using
sizeof (mem_section) may not be a power of 2 depending on the size of the
bitmap. This renders masks and other such things not power of 2 base.
This issue was seen with SPARSEMEM_EXTREME on ia64. This patch moves the
bitmap outside of mem_section and uses a pointer instead in the
mem_section. The bitmaps are allocated when the section is being
initialised.
Note that sparse_early_usemap_alloc() does not use alloc_remap() like
sparse_early_mem_map_alloc(). The allocation required for the bitmap on
x86, the only architecture that uses alloc_remap is typically smaller than
a cache line. alloc_remap() pads out allocations to the cache size which
would be a needless waste.
Credit to Bob Picco for identifying the original problem and effecting a
fix for the SECTION_BLOCKFLAGS_BITS calculation. Credit to Andy Whitcroft
for devising the best way of allocating the bitmaps only when required for
the section.

Here is the latest revision of the anti-fragmentation patches. Of particular
note in this version is special treatment of high-order atomic allocations.
Care is taken to group them together and avoid grouping pages of other types
near them. Artifical tests imply that it works. I'm trying to get the
hardware together that would allow setting up of a "real" test. If anyone
already has a setup and test that can trigger the atomic-allocation problem,
I'd appreciate a test of these patches and a report. The second major change
is that these patches will apply cleanly with patches that implement
anti-fragmentation through zones.
kernbench shows effectively no performance difference varying between -0.2%
and +2% on a variety of test machines. Success rates for huge page allocation
are dramatically increased. For example, on a ppc64 machine, the vanilla
kernel was only able to allocate 1% of memory as a hugepage and this was due
to a single hugepage reserved as min_free_kbytes. With these patches applied,
17% was allocatable as superpages. With reclaim-related fixes from Andy
Whitcroft, it was 40% and further reclaim-related improvements should increase
this further.
Changelog Since V28
o Group high-order atomic allocations together
o It is no longer required to set min_free_kbytes to 10% of memory. A value
of 16384 in most cases will be sufficient
o Now applied with zone-based anti-fragmentation
o Fix incorrect VM_BUG_ON within buffered_rmqueue()
o Reorder the stack so later patches do not back out work from earlier patches
o Fix bug were journal pages were being treated as movable
o Bias placement of non-movable pages to lower PFNs
o More agressive clustering of reclaimable pages in reactions to workloads
like updatedb that flood the size of inode caches
Changelog Since V27
o Renamed anti-fragmentation to Page Clustering. Anti-fragmentation was giving
the mistaken impression that it was the 100% solution for high order
allocations. Instead, it greatly increases the chances high-order
allocations will succeed and lays the foundation for defragmentation and
memory hot-remove to work properly
o Redefine page groupings based on ability to migrate or reclaim instead of
basing on reclaimability alone
o Get rid of spurious inits
o Per-cpu lists are no longer split up per-type. Instead the per-cpu list is
searched for a page of the appropriate type
o Added more explanation commentary
o Fix up bug in pageblock code where bitmap was used before being initalised
Changelog Since V26
o Fix double init of lists in setup_pageset
Changelog Since V25
o Fix loop order of for_each_rclmtype_order so that order of loop matches args
o gfpflags_to_rclmtype uses gfp_t instead of unsigned long
o Rename get_pageblock_type() to get_page_rclmtype()
o Fix alignment problem in move_freepages()
o Add mechanism for assigning flags to blocks of pages instead of page->flags
o On fallback, do not examine the preferred list of free pages a second time
The purpose of these patches is to reduce external fragmentation by grouping
pages of related types together. When pages are migrated (or reclaimed under
memory pressure), large contiguous pages will be freed.
This patch works by categorising allocations by their ability to migrate;
Movable - The pages may be moved with the page migration mechanism. These are
generally userspace pages.
Reclaimable - These are allocations for some kernel caches that are
reclaimable or allocations that are known to be very short-lived.
Unmovable - These are pages that are allocated by the kernel that
are not trivially reclaimed. For example, the memory allocated for a
loaded module would be in this category. By default, allocations are
considered to be of this type
HighAtomic - These are high-order allocations belonging to callers that
cannot sleep or perform any IO. In practice, this is restricted to
jumbo frame allocation for network receive. It is assumed that the
allocations are short-lived
Instead of having one MAX_ORDER-sized array of free lists in struct free_area,
there is one for each type of reclaimability. Once a 2^MAX_ORDER block of
pages is split for a type of allocation, it is added to the free-lists for
that type, in effect reserving it. Hence, over time, pages of the different
types can be clustered together.
When the preferred freelists are expired, the largest possible block is taken
from an alternative list. Buddies that are split from that large block are
placed on the preferred allocation-type freelists to mitigate fragmentation.
This implementation gives best-effort for low fragmentation in all zones.
Ideally, min_free_kbytes needs to be set to a value equal to 4 * (1 <<
(MAX_ORDER-1)) pages in most cases. This would be 16384 on x86 and x86_64 for
example.
Our tests show that about 60-70% of physical memory can be allocated on a
desktop after a few days uptime. In benchmarks and stress tests, we are
finding that 80% of memory is available as contiguous blocks at the end of the
test. To compare, a standard kernel was getting < 1% of memory as large pages
on a desktop and about 8-12% of memory as large pages at the end of stress
tests.
Following this email are 12 patches that implement thie page grouping feature.
The first patch introduces a mechanism for storing flags related to a whole
block of pages. Then allocations are split between movable and all other
allocations. Following that are patches to deal with per-cpu pages and make
the mechanism configurable. The next patch moves free pages between lists
when partially allocated blocks are used for pages of another migrate type.
The second last patch groups reclaimable kernel allocations such as inode
caches together. The final patch related to groupings keeps high-order atomic
allocations.
The last two patches are more concerned with control of fragmentation. The
second last patch biases placement of non-movable allocations towards the
start of memory. This is with a view of supporting memory hot-remove of DIMMs
with higher PFNs in the future. The biasing could be enforced a lot heavier
but it would cost. The last patch agressively clusters reclaimable pages like
inode caches together.
The fragmentation reduction strategy needs to track if pages within a block
can be moved or reclaimed so that pages are freed to the appropriate list.
This patch adds a bitmap for flags affecting a whole a MAX_ORDER block of
pages.
In non-SPARSEMEM configurations, the bitmap is stored in the struct zone and
allocated during initialisation. SPARSEMEM statically allocates the bitmap in
a struct mem_section so that bitmaps do not have to be resized during memory
hotadd. This wastes a small amount of memory per unused section (usually
sizeof(unsigned long)) but the complexity of dynamically allocating the memory
is quite high.
Additional credit to Andy Whitcroft who reviewed up an earlier implementation
of the mechanism an suggested how to make it a *lot* cleaner.

Current ia64 kernel flushes icache by lazy_mmu_prot_update() *after*
set_pte(). This is too late. This patch removes lazy_mmu_prot_update and
add modfied set_pte() for flushing if necessary.
This patch flush icache of a page when
new pte has exec bit.
&& new pte has present bit
&& new pte is user's page.
&& (old *ptep is not present
|| new pte's pfn is not same to old *ptep's ptn)
&& new pte's page has no Pg_arch_1 bit.
Pg_arch_1 is set when a page is cache consistent.
I think this condition checks are much easier to understand than considering
"Where sync_icache_dcache() should be inserted ?".
pte_user() for ia64 was removed by http://lkml.org/lkml/2007/6/12/67 as
clean-up. So, I added it again.

The function of GFP_LEVEL_MASK seems to be unclear. In order to clear up
the mystery we get rid of it and replace GFP_LEVEL_MASK with 3 sets of GFP
flags:
GFP_RECLAIM_MASK Flags used to control page allocator reclaim behavior.
GFP_CONSTRAINT_MASK Flags used to limit where allocations can occur.
GFP_SLAB_BUG_MASK Flags that the slab allocator BUG()s on.
These replace the uses of GFP_LEVEL mask in the slab allocators and in
vmalloc.c.
The use of the flags not included in these sets may occur as a result of a
slab allocation standing in for a page allocation when constructing scatter
gather lists. Extraneous flags are cleared and not passed through to the
page allocator. __GFP_MOVABLE/RECLAIMABLE, __GFP_COLD and __GFP_COMP will
now be ignored if passed to a slab allocator.
Change the allocation of allocator meta data in SLAB and vmalloc to not
pass through flags listed in GFP_CONSTRAINT_MASK. SLAB already removes the
__GFP_THISNODE flag for such allocations. Generalize that to also cover
vmalloc. The use of GFP_CONSTRAINT_MASK also includes __GFP_HARDWALL.
The impact of allocator metadata placement on access latency to the
cachelines of the object itself is minimal since metadata is only
referenced on alloc and free. The attempt is still made to place the meta
data optimally but we consistently allow fallback both in SLAB and vmalloc
(SLUB does not need to allocate metadata like that).
Allocator metadata may serve multiple in kernel users and thus should not
be subject to the limitations arising from a single allocation context.

cpusets try to ensure that any node added to a cpuset's mems_allowed is
on-line and contains memory. The assumption was that online nodes contained
memory. Thus, it is possible to add memoryless nodes to a cpuset and then add
tasks to this cpuset. This results in continuous series of oom-kill and
apparent system hang.
Change cpusets to use node_states[N_HIGH_MEMORY] [a.k.a. node_memory_map] in
place of node_online_map when vetting memories. Return error if admin
attempts to write a non-empty mems_allowed node mask containing only

GFP_THISNODE checks that the zone selected is within the pgdat (node) of the
first zone of a nodelist. That only works if the node has memory. A
memoryless node will have its first node on another pgdat (node).
GFP_THISNODE currently will return simply memory on the first pgdat. Thus it
is returning memory on other nodes. GFP_THISNODE should fail if there is no
local memory on a node.
Add a new set of zonelists for each node that only contain the nodes that
belong to the zones itself so that no fallback is possible.
Then modify gfp_type to pickup the right zone based on the presence of
__GFP_THISNODE.
Drop the existing GFP_THISNODE checks from the page_allocators hot path.

It is necessary to know if nodes have memory since we have recently begun to
add support for memoryless nodes. For that purpose we introduce a two new
node states: N_HIGH_MEMORY and N_NORMAL_MEMORY.
A node has its bit in N_HIGH_MEMORY set if it has any memory regardless of the
type of mmemory. If a node has memory then it has at least one zone defined
in its pgdat structure that is located in the pgdat itself.
A node has its bit in N_NORMAL_MEMORY set if it has a lower zone than
ZONE_HIGHMEM. This means it is possible to allocate memory that is not
subject to kmap.
N_HIGH_MEMORY and N_NORMAL_MEMORY can then be used in various places to insure
that we do the right thing when we encounter a memoryless node.

Modify the core write() code so that it won't take a pagefault while holding a
lock on the pagecache page. There are a number of different deadlocks possible
if we try to do such a thing:
1. generic_buffered_write
2. lock_page
3. prepare_write
4. unlock_page+vmtruncate
5. copy_from_user
6. mmap_sem(r)
7. handle_mm_fault
8. lock_page (filemap_nopage)
9. commit_write
10. unlock_page
a. sys_munmap / sys_mlock / others
b. mmap_sem(w)
c. make_pages_present
d. get_user_pages
e. handle_mm_fault
f. lock_page (filemap_nopage)
2,8 - recursive deadlock if page is same
2,8;2,8 - ABBA deadlock is page is different
2,6;b,f - ABBA deadlock if page is same
The solution is as follows:
1. If we find the destination page is uptodate, continue as normal, but use
atomic usercopies which do not take pagefaults and do not zero the uncopied
tail of the destination. The destination is already uptodate, so we can
commit_write the full length even if there was a partial copy: it does not
matter that the tail was not modified, because if it is dirtied and written
back to disk it will not cause any problems (uptodate *means* that the
destination page is as new or newer than the copy on disk).
1a. The above requires that fault_in_pages_readable correctly returns access
information, because atomic usercopies cannot distinguish between
non-present pages in a readable mapping, from lack of a readable mapping.
2. If we find the destination page is non uptodate, unlock it (this could be
made slightly more optimal), then allocate a temporary page to copy the
source data into. Relock the destination page and continue with the copy.
However, instead of a usercopy (which might take a fault), copy the data
from the pinned temporary page via the kernel address space.
(also, rename maxlen to seglen, because it was confusing)
This increases the CPU/memory copy cost by almost 50% on the affected
workloads. That will be solved by introducing a new set of pagecache write
aops in a subsequent patch.

Rather than sign direct radix-tree pointers with a special bit, sign the
indirect one that hangs off the root. This means that, given a lookup_slot
operation, the invalid result will be differentiated from the valid
(previously, valid results could have the bit either set or clear).
This does not affect slot lookups which occur under lock -- they can never
return an invalid result. Is needed in future for lockless pagecache.

The commit b5810039a5 contains the note
A last caveat: the ZERO_PAGE is now refcounted and managed with rmap
(and thus mapcounted and count towards shared rss). These writes to
the struct page could cause excessive cacheline bouncing on big
systems. There are a number of ways this could be addressed if it is
an issue.
And indeed this cacheline bouncing has shown up on large SGI systems.
There was a situation where an Altix system was essentially livelocked
tearing down ZERO_PAGE pagetables when an HPC app aborted during startup.
This situation can be avoided in userspace, but it does highlight the
potential scalability problem with refcounting ZERO_PAGE, and corner
cases where it can really hurt (we don't want the system to livelock!).
There are several broad ways to fix this problem:
1. add back some special casing to avoid refcounting ZERO_PAGE
2. per-node or per-cpu ZERO_PAGES
3. remove the ZERO_PAGE completely
I will argue for 3. The others should also fix the problem, but they
result in more complex code than does 3, with little or no real benefit
that I can see.
Why? Inserting a ZERO_PAGE for anonymous read faults appears to be a
false optimisation: if an application is performance critical, it would
not be doing many read faults of new memory, or at least it could be
expected to write to that memory soon afterwards. If cache or memory use
is critical, it should not be working with a significant number of
ZERO_PAGEs anyway (a more compact representation of zeroes should be
used).
As a sanity check -- mesuring on my desktop system, there are never many
mappings to the ZERO_PAGE (eg. 2 or 3), thus memory usage here should not
increase much without it.
When running a make -j4 kernel compile on my dual core system, there are
about 1,000 mappings to the ZERO_PAGE created per second, but about 1,000
ZERO_PAGE COW faults per second (less than 1 ZERO_PAGE mapping per second
is torn down without being COWed). So removing ZERO_PAGE will save 1,000
page faults per second when running kbuild, while keeping it only saves
less than 1 page clearing operation per second. 1 page clear is cheaper
than a thousand faults, presumably, so there isn't an obvious loss.
Neither the logical argument nor these basic tests give a guarantee of no
regressions. However, this is a reasonable opportunity to try to remove
the ZERO_PAGE from the pagefault path. If it is found to cause regressions,
we can reintroduce it and just avoid refcounting it.
The /dev/zero ZERO_PAGE usage and TLB tricks also get nuked. I don't see
much use to them except on benchmarks. All other users of ZERO_PAGE are
converted just to use ZERO_PAGE(0) for simplicity. We can look at
replacing them all and maybe ripping out ZERO_PAGE completely when we are
more satisfied with this solution.

kfree is modified to check if the object is in a slab page. If not then
the page is freed via the page allocator instead. Roughly similar to what
SLOB does.
Advantages:
- Reduces memory overhead for kmalloc array
- Large kmalloc operations are faster since they do not
need to pass through the slab allocator to get to the
page allocator.
- Performance increase of 10%-20% on alloc and 50% on free for
PAGE_SIZEd allocations.
SLUB must call page allocator for each alloc anyways since
the higher order pages which that allowed avoiding the page alloc calls
are not available in a reliable way anymore. So we are basically removing
useless slab allocator overhead.
- Large kmallocs yields page aligned object which is what
SLAB did. Bad things like using page sized kmalloc allocations to
stand in for page allocate allocs can be transparently handled and are not
distinguishable from page allocator uses.
- Checking for too large objects can be removed since
it is done by the page allocator.
Drawbacks:
- No accounting for large kmalloc slab allocations anymore
- No debugging of large kmalloc slab allocations.

This is provided as a minimally intrusive solution. We split the 128TB

This should replace CONFIG_VIRTUAL_MEM_MAP long term.

x86_64 uses 2M page table entries to map its 1-1 kernel space. We also
implement the virtual memmap using 2M page table entries. So there is no
additional runtime overhead over FLATMEM, initialisation is slightly more
complex. As FLATMEM still references memory to obtain the mem_map pointer and
SPARSEMEM_VMEMMAP uses a compile time constant, SPARSEMEM_VMEMMAP should be
superior.
With this SPARSEMEM becomes the most efficient way of handling virt_to_page,
pfn_to_page and friends for UP, SMP and NUMA on x86_64.

SPARSEMEM is a pretty nice framework that unifies quite a bit of code over all
the arches. It would be great if it could be the default so that we can get
rid of various forms of DISCONTIG and other variations on memory maps. So far
what has hindered this are the additional lookups that SPARSEMEM introduces
for virt_to_page and page_address. This goes so far that the code to do this
has to be kept in a separate function and cannot be used inline.
This patch introduces a virtual memmap mode for SPARSEMEM, in which the memmap
is mapped into a virtually contigious area, only the active sections are
physically backed. This allows virt_to_page page_address and cohorts become
simple shift/add operations. No page flag fields, no table lookups, nothing
involving memory is required.
The two key operations pfn_to_page and page_to_page become:
#define __pfn_to_page(pfn) (vmemmap + (pfn))
#define __page_to_pfn(page) ((page) - vmemmap)
By having a virtual mapping for the memmap we allow simple access without
wasting physical memory. As kernel memory is typically already mapped 1:1
this introduces no additional overhead. The virtual mapping must be big
enough to allow a struct page to be allocated and mapped for all valid
physical pages. This vill make a virtual memmap difficult to use on 32 bit
platforms that support 36 address bits.
However, if there is enough virtual space available and the arch already maps
its 1-1 kernel space using TLBs (f.e. true of IA64 and x86_64) then this
technique makes SPARSEMEM lookups even more efficient than CONFIG_FLATMEM.
FLATMEM needs to read the contents of the mem_map variable to get the start of
the memmap and then add the offset to the required entry. vmemmap is a
constant to which we can simply add the offset.
This patch has the potential to allow us to make SPARSMEM the default (and
even the only) option for most systems. It should be optimal on UP, SMP and
NUMA on most platforms. Then we may even be able to remove the other memory
models: FLATMEM, DISCONTIG etc.

We have flags to indicate whether a section actually has a valid mem_map
associated with it. This is never set and we rely solely on the present bit
to indicate a section is valid. By definition a section is not valid if it
has no mem_map and there is a window during init where the present bit is set
but there is no mem_map, during which pfn_valid() will return true
incorrectly.
Use the existing SECTION_HAS_MEM_MAP flag to indicate the presence of a valid
mem_map. Switch valid_section{,_nr} and pfn_valid() to this bit. Add a new
present_section{,_nr} and pfn_present() interfaces for those users who care to
know that a section is going to be valid.

This is from an earlier message from 'Christoph Lameter':
cpu_core_map is currently an array defined using NR_CPUS. This means that
we overallocate since we will rarely really use maximum configured cpu.
If we put the cpu_core_map into the per cpu area then it will be allocated
for each processor as it comes online.
This means that the core map cannot be accessed until the per cpu area
has been allocated. Xen does a weird thing here looping over all processors
and zeroing the masks that are not yet allocated and that will be zeroed
when they are allocated. I commented the code out.

management codes.
I don't place them in the existing inet_frags object,

There are some objects that are common in all the places
which are used to keep track of frag queues, they are:
* hash table
* LRU list
* rw lock
* rnd number for hash function
* the number of queues
* the amount of memory occupied by queues
* secret timer
Move all this stuff into one structure (struct inet_frags)
to make it possible use them uniformly in the future. Like
with the previous patch this mostly consists of hunks like
- write_lock(&ipfrag_lock);
+ write_lock(&ip4_frags.lock);

the amount of memory occupied by queues outside the .c file

Now that all users of dcr_read()/dcr_write() add the dcr_host_t.base, we

As some background to why we just went through all this jiggery-pokery,
benh sayeth:
Initially the goal of the dcr_read/dcr_write routines was to operate like
mfdcr/mtdcr which take absolute DCR numbers. The reason is that on 4xx
hardware, indirect DCR access is a pain (goes through a table of
instructions) and it's useful to have the compiler resolve an absolute DCR
inline.
We decided that wasn't worth the API bastardisation since most places
where absolute DCR values are used are low level 4xx-only code which may
as well continue using mfdcr/mtdcr, while the new API is designed for
device "instances" that can exist on 4xx and Axon type platforms and may
be located at variable DCR offsets.

pxa_gpio_mode() is a universal call that fiddles with the GAFR
(gpio alternate function register.) GAFR does not exist on PXA3
CPUs, but instead the alternate functions are controlled via the
MFP support code.
Platforms are expected to configure the MFP according to their
needs in their platform support code rather than drivers. We
extend this idea to the GAFR, and make the gpio_direction_*()
functions purely operate on the GPIO level.
This means platform support code is entirely responsible for
configuring the GPIOs alternate functions on all PXA CPU types.

The 64bit SMP bootup is slightly different to the 32bit one. It enables
the boot CPU local APIC timer before all CPUs are brought up. Some AMD C1E
systems have the C1E feature flag only set in the secondary CPU. Due to
the early enable of the boot CPU local APIC timer the APIC timer is
registered as a fully functional device. When we detect the wreckage during
the bringup of the secondary CPU, we need to force the boot CPU into
broadcast mode.
Add a new notifier reason and implement the force broadcast in the clock
events layer.

hidraw is an interface that is going to obsolete hiddev one
day.
Many userland applications are using libusb instead of using
kernel-provided hiddev interface. This is caused by various
reasons - the HID parser in kernel doesn't handle all the
HID hardware on the planet properly, some devices might require
its own specific quirks/drivers, etc.
hiddev interface tries to do its best to parse all the received
reports properly, and presents only parsed usages into userspace.
This is however often not enough, and that's the reason why
many userland applications just don't use hiddev at all, and
rather use libusb to read raw USB events and process them on
their own.
Another drawback of hiddev is that it is USB-specific.
hidraw interface provides userspace readers with really raw HID
reports, no matter what the low-level transport layer is (USB/BT),
and gives the userland applications all the freedom to process
the HID reports in a way they wish to.

The infrared remote receiver found in the SantaRosa MacBookPro
laptops (MacBookPro3,1) need to be forced to expose a HIDDEV
interface (instead of HIDINPUT) so that lirc can access it using
the 'macmini' driver.
The patch below adds the required quirk for forcing the HIDDEV
interface to be activated (HID_QUIRK_HIDDEV) and introduces a new
quirk which forces the HIDINPUT interface to be ignored
(HID_QUIRK_IGNORE_HIDINPUT).
Note that Apple calls this receiver 'IRController4' (info taken
from Apple's driver Info.plist). Older Mac{Book,Mini,Pro}s seem
to all use the 'IRController1' device (USB id 05ac:8240) which
doesn't need those quirks.

Currently we chain IVEC entries using 32-bit "pointers"
because we know that the ivector_table is in the main
kernel image, thus below 4GB.
This uses proper 64-bit pointers instead.
Whilst this bloats up the kernel image size, this sets
the infrastructure necessary to significantly shrink the
kernel size by using physical addresses and dynamically
allocating the ivector table.

This also makes us use the MSI queues correctly.
Each MSI queue is serviced by a normal sun4u/sun4v INO interrupt
handler. This handler runs the MSI queue and dispatches the
virtual interrupts indicated by arriving MSIs in that MSI queue.
All of the common logic is placed in pci_msi.c, with callbacks to
handle the PCI controller specific aspects of the operations.
This common infrastructure will make it much easier to add MSG

Added TRACE_IRQFLAGS_SUPPORT to Kconfig.debug.
This is the first step in adding IRQ-flags state tracing as outlined in

because they just move things around and rename them.

Use ide_config_drive_speed() instead of pmac_ide_do_setfeature() and remove

Since for IDE PMAC host driver IDE_CONTROL_REG is always true, device's
->quirk_list is always zero and ->ide_dma_host_{on,off} are nops than
the only changes in behavior are:
* if PIO mode is set then ->dma_off_queitly is called to disable DMA
* if setting transfer mode fails ide_dump_status() is called to dump status
v2:
* IDE PMAC controllers allow separate PIO and DMA timings and PPC userland
depends on this fact, and calls "hdparm -p" without calling "hdparm -d".
Therefore to compensate for DMA being disabled by ide_config_drive_speed()
for PIO modes:
- add IDE_HFLAG_SET_PIO_MODE_KEEP_DMA flag and set it in PMAC host driver
- add handling of the new flag to ide-io.c::do_special()

* Use the new helper in ide_config_drive_speed(). The only change in the
functionality is that the function now fails if after 20 sec (WAIT_CMD)
device is still busy (BUSY_STAT bit is set) while previously instead of
failing the function continued with checking for the correct device status
(which would give the device additional 10 usec to clear BUSY_STAT bit).
* Remove stale comment for ide_config_drive_speed().
* Remove duplicate comment for ide_wait_stat() from <linux/ide.h>.

When we press ctrl-alt-del,kernel_restart_prepare will invoke
cfi_intelext_reboot which will set flash to read array mode, but later
when device_shutdown is invoked which may put current work queue to
sleep and other process may be scheduled to running and programming
flash in not FL_READY mode again. So we can't boot up if this flash is
used for bootloader.

This patch adds a new vcpu-based IOCTL to save and restore the local
apic registers for a single vcpu. The kernel only copies the apic page as
a whole, extraction of registers is left to userspace side. On restore, the
APIC timer is restarted from the initial count, this introduces a little
delay, but works fine.

Because lightweight exits (exits which don't involve userspace) are many
times faster than heavyweight exits, it makes sense to emulate high usage
devices in the kernel. The local APIC is one such device, especially for
Windows and for SMP, so we add an APIC model to kvm.
It also allows in-kernel host-side drivers to inject interrupts without
going through userspace.

According to latest memory ordering specification documents from Intel
and AMD, both manufacturers are committed to in-order loads from
cacheable memory for the x86 architecture. Hence, smp_rmb() may be a
simple barrier.
Also according to those documents, and according to existing practice in
Linux (eg. spin_unlock doesn't enforce ordering), stores to cacheable
memory are visible in program order too. Special string stores are safe
-- their constituent stores may be out of order, but they must complete
in order WRT surrounding stores. Nontemporal stores to WB memory can go
out of order, and so they should be fenced explicitly to make them
appear in-order WRT other stores. Hence, smp_wmb() may be a simple
barrier.
http://developer.intel.com/products/processor/manuals/318147.pdfhttp://www.amd.com/us-en/assets/content_type/white_papers_and_tech_docs/24593.pdf
In userspace microbenchmarks on a core2 system, fence instructions range
anywhere from around 15 cycles to 50, which may not be totally
insignificant in performance critical paths (code size will go down
too).
However the primary motivation for this is to have the canonical barrier
implementation for x86 architecture.
smp_rmb on buggy pentium pros remains a locked op, which is apparently
required.

This patch resolves a kexec boot failure that can occur because
no ATAGs are passed in to the kexec'd kernel. Currently the
newly-kexec'd kernel may fail if it requires specific ATAGs, or
it may fail because the fixed memory location at which it expects
to find the ATAGs may contain random data instead of ATAGs.
The patch ensures that any ATAGs passed to the current kernel
at boot time are copied to a static buffer, and are copied back
when kexec copies the new kernel into place. Thus the new
kernel sees the same ATAGs from kexec and the boot loader.
The boot parameters are copied without regard to type, content,
or length -- this patch's scope is limited soley to saving and
restoring a fixed-size block of memory containing the kernel's
boot parameters. Additional functionality to examine, alter, or
replace the ATAGs (using kexec, for example) can be implemented
by manipulating the static buffer containing the preserved ATAGs.
Note: the size of the buffer (1.5KB) is selected to comfortably
hold one of each ATAG type, including a maximum-length command
line and the maximum number of ATAG_MEM structures currently
supported by the kernel. Should an ATAG list exceed that limit,
the list will be silently truncated to that limit (to do other-
wise at that point in the boot process would make a simple
problem exceedingly complicated).
[Note: this is the same patch as 4579, modified to accomodate
the ATAG changes introduced in 2.6.23]
