Joe Perches 283c0972d5 xen: Convert printks to pr_<level>
Convert printks to pr_<level> (excludes printk(KERN_DEBUG...)
to be more consistent throughout the xen subsystem.

Add pr_fmt with KBUILD_MODNAME or "xen:" KBUILD_MODNAME
Coalesce formats and add missing word spaces
Add missing newlines
Align arguments and reflow to 80 columns
Remove DRV_NAME from formats as pr_fmt adds the same content

This does change some of the prefixes of these messages
but it also does make them more consistent.

Konrad Rzeszutek Wilk 37d46e152e xen/tmem: Don't use self[ballooning|shrinking] if frontswap is off.
There is no point. We would just squeeze the guest to put more and
more pages in the swap disk without any purpose.

The only time it makes sense to use the selfballooning and shrinking
is when frontswap is being utilized.

Konrad Rzeszutek Wilk ed4f346a00 xen/tmem: Remove the usage of '[no|]selfballoon' and use 'tmem.selfballooning' bool instead.
As the 'tmem' driver is the one that actually sets whether
it will use it (or not) so might as well make tmem responsible
for this knob.

Dan Magenheimer 10a7a07713 xen: tmem: enable Xen tmem shim to be built/loaded as a module
Allow Xen tmem shim to be built/loaded as a module.  Xen self-ballooning
and frontswap-selfshrinking are now also "lazily" initialized when the
Xen tmem shim is loaded as a module, unless explicitly disabled by
module parameters.

Note runtime dependency disallows loading if cleancache/frontswap lazy
initialization patches are not present.

If built-in (not built as a module), the original mechanism of enabling
via a kernel boot parameter is retained, but this should be considered
deprecated.

Note that module unload is explicitly not yet supported.

K. Y. Srinivasan 997071bcb3 mm: export a function to get vm committed memory
It will be useful to be able to access global memory commitment from
device drivers.  On the Hyper-V platform, the host has a policy engine to
balance the available physical memory amongst all competing virtual
machines hosted on a given node.  This policy engine is driven by a number
of metrics including the memory commitment reported by the guests.  The
balloon driver for Linux on Hyper-V will use this function to retrieve
guest memory commitment.  This function is also used in Xen self
ballooning code.

Jana Saout d79d5959a0 xen: Add selfballoning memory reservation tunable.
Currently, the memory target in the Xen selfballooning driver is mainly
driven by the value of "Committed_AS".  However, there are cases in
which it is desirable to assign additional memory to be available for
the kernel, e.g. for local caches (which are not covered by cleancache),
e.g. dcache and inode caches.

This adds an additional tunable in the selfballooning driver (accessible
via sysfs) which allows the user to specify an additional constant
amount of memory to be reserved by the selfballoning driver for the
local domain.

Dan Magenheimer 38a1ed4f03 xen: Fix selfballooning and ensure it doesn't go too far
The balloon driver's "current_pages" is very different from
totalram_pages.  Self-ballooning needs to be driven by
the latter.  Also, Committed_AS doesn't account for pages
used by the kernel so:
1) Add totalreserve_pages to Committed_AS for the normal target.
2) Enforce a floor for when there are little or no user-space threads
   using memory (e.g. single-user mode) to avoid OOMs.  The floor
   function includes a "min_usable_mb" tuneable in case we discover
   later that the floor function is still too aggressive in some
   workloads, though likely it will not be needed.

Changes since version 4:
- change floor calculation so that it is not as aggressive; this version
  uses a piecewise linear function similar to minimum_target in the 2.6.18
  balloon driver, but modified to add to totalreserve_pages instead of
  subtract from max_pfn, the 2.6.18 version causes OOMs on recent kernels
  because the kernel has expanded over time
- change safety_margin to min_usable_mb and comment on its use
- since committed_as does NOT include kernel space (and other reserved
  pages), totalreserve_pages is now added to committed_as.  The result is
  less aggressive self-ballooning, but theoretically more appropriate.
Changes since version 3:
- missing include causes compile problem when CONFIG_FRONTSWAP is disabled
- add comments after includes
Changes since version 2:
- missing include causes compile problem only on 32-bit
Changes since version 1:
- tuneable safety margin added

Dan Magenheimer a50777c791 xen: tmem: self-ballooning and frontswap-selfshrinking
This patch introduces two in-kernel drivers for Xen transcendent memory
("tmem") functionality that complement cleancache and frontswap.  Both
use control theory to dynamically adjust and optimize memory utilization.
Selfballooning controls the in-kernel Xen balloon driver, targeting a goal
value (vm_committed_as), thus pushing less frequently used clean
page cache pages (through the cleancache code) into Xen tmem where
Xen can balance needs across all VMs residing on the physical machine.
Frontswap-selfshrinking controls the number of pages in frontswap,
driving it towards zero (effectively doing a partial swapoff) when
in-kernel memory pressure subsides, freeing up RAM for other VMs.

More detail is provided in the header comment of xen-selfballooning.c.
