During 32/64 NUMA init unification, commit 797390d855 ("x86-32,
NUMA: use sparse_memory_present_with_active_regions()") made
32bit mm init call memory_present() automatically from
active_regions instead of leaving it to each NUMA init path.
This commit description is inaccurate - memory_present() calls
aren't the same for flat and numaq. After the commit,
memory_present() is only called for the intersection of e820 and
NUMA layout. Before, on flatmem, memory_present() would be
called from 0 to max_pfn. After, it would be called only on the
areas that e820 indicates to be populated.
This is how x86_64 works and should be okay as memmap is allowed
to contain holes; however, x86_32 DISCONTIGMEM is missing
early_pfn_valid(), which makes memmap_init_zone() assume that
memmap doesn't contain any hole. This leads to the following
oops if e820 map contains holes as it often does on machine with
near or more 4GiB of memory by calling pfn_to_page() on a pfn
which isn't mapped to a NUMA node, a reported by Conny Seidel:

commit 21a3c96 uses node_start/end_pfn(nid) for detection start/end
of nodes. But, it's not defined in linux/mmzone.h but defined in
/arch/???/include/mmzone.h which is included only under
CONFIG_NEED_MULTIPLE_NODES=y.
Then, we see
mm/page_cgroup.c: In function 'page_cgroup_init':
mm/page_cgroup.c:308: error: implicit declaration of function 'node_start_pfn'
mm/page_cgroup.c:309: error: implicit declaration of function 'node_end_pfn'
So, fixiing page_cgroup.c is an idea...
But node_start_pfn()/node_end_pfn() is a very generic macro and
should be implemented in the same manner for all archs.
(m32r has different implementation...)
This patch removes definitions of node_start/end_pfn() in each archs
and defines a unified one in linux/mmzone.h. It's not under
CONFIG_NEED_MULTIPLE_NODES, now.
A result of macro expansion is here (mm/page_cgroup.c)
for !NUMA
start_pfn = ((&contig_page_data)->node_start_pfn);
end_pfn = ({ pg_data_t *__pgdat = (&contig_page_data); __pgdat->node_start_pfn + __pgdat->node_spanned_pages;});
for NUMA (x86-64)
start_pfn = ((node_data[nid])->node_start_pfn);
end_pfn = ({ pg_data_t *__pgdat = (node_data[nid]); __pgdat->node_start_pfn + __pgdat->node_spanned_pages;});
Changelog:
- fixed to avoid using "nid" twice in node_end_pfn() macro.

Commit 916f676f8dc started reserving boot service code since some systems
require you to keep that code around until SetVirtualAddressMap is called.
However, in some cases those areas will overlap with reserved regions.
The proper medium-term fix is to fix the bootloader to prevent the
conflicts from occurring by moving the kernel to a better position,
but the kernel should check for this possibility, and only reserve regions
which can be reserved.

The workaround for AMD erratum 400 uses the term "c1e" falsely suggesting:
1. Intel C1E is somehow involved
2. All AMD processors with C1E are involved
Use the string "amd_c1e" instead of simply "c1e" to clarify that
this workaround is specific to AMD's version of C1E.
Use the string "e400" to clarify that the workaround is specific
to AMD processors with Erratum 400.
This patch is text-substitution only, with no functional change.

* setns:
ns: Wire up the setns system call
Done as a merge to make it easier to fix up conflicts in arm due to
addition of sendmmsg system call
|
|
32bit and 64bit on x86 are tested and working. The rest I have looked
at closely and I can't find any problems.
setns is an easy system call to wire up. It just takes two ints so I
don't expect any weird architecture porting problems.
While doing this I have noticed that we have some architectures that are
very slow to get new system calls. cris seems to be the slowest where
the last system calls wired up were preadv and pwritev. avr32 is weird
in that recvmmsg was wired up but never declared in unistd.h. frv is
behind with perf_event_open being the last syscall wired up. On h8300
the last system call wired up was epoll_wait. On m32r the last system
call wired up was fallocate. mn10300 has recvmmsg as the last system
call wired up. The rest seem to at least have syncfs wired up which was
new in the 2.6.39.
v2: Most of the architecture support added by Daniel Lezcano <dlezcano@fr.ibm.com>
v3: ported to v2.6.36-rc4 by: Eric W. Biederman <ebiederm@xmission.com>
v4: Moved wiring up of the system call to another patch
v5: ported to v2.6.39-rc6
v6: rebased onto parisc-next and net-next to avoid syscall conflicts.
v7: ported to Linus's latest post 2.6.39 tree.

The Blackfin arch, like the x86 arch, needs to adjust the PC manually
after a breakpoint is hit as normally this is handled by the remote gdb.
However, rather than starting another arch ifdef mess, create a common
GDB_ADJUSTS_BREAK_OFFSET define for any arch to opt-in via their kgdb.h.

This patch provides a shim between the kernel-internal cleancache
API (see Documentation/mm/cleancache.txt) and the Xen Transcendent
Memory ABI (see http://oss.oracle.com/projects/tmem).
Xen tmem provides "hypervisor RAM" as an ephemeral page-oriented
pseudo-RAM store for cleancache pages, shared cleancache pages,
and frontswap pages. Tmem provides enterprise-quality concurrency,
full save/restore and live migration support, compression
and deduplication.
A presentation showing up to 8% faster performance and up to 52%
reduction in sectors read on a kernel compile workload, despite
aggressive in-kernel page reclamation ("self-ballooning") can be

The presense of a writeq() implementation on 32-bit x86 that splits the
64-bit write into two 32-bit writes turns out to break the mpt2sas driver
(and in general is risky for drivers as was discussed in
<http://lkml.kernel.org/r/adaab6c1h7c.fsf@cisco.com>). To fix this,
revert 2c5643b1c5c7 ("x86: provide readq()/writeq() on 32-bit too") and
follow-on cleanups.
This unfortunately leads to pushing non-atomic definitions of readq() and
write() to various x86-only drivers that in the meantime started using the
definitions in the x86 version of <asm/io.h>. However as discussed
exhaustively, this is actually the right thing to do, because the right
way to split a 64-bit transaction is hardware dependent and therefore
belongs in the hardware driver (eg mpt2sas needs a spinlock to make sure
no other accesses occur in between the two halves of the access).
Build tested on 32- and 64-bit x86 allmodconfig.

SGI UV's uv_tlb.c driver has become rather hard to read, with overly large
functions, non-standard coding style and (way) too long variable, constant
and function names and non-obvious code flow sequences.
This patch improves the readability and maintainability of the driver
significantly, by doing the following strict code cleanups with no side
effects:
- Split long functions into shorter logical functions.
- Shortened some variable and structure member names.
- Added special functions for reads and writes of MMR regs with
very long names.
- Added the 'tunables' table to shortened tunables_write().
- Added the 'stat_description' table to shorten uv_ptc_proc_write().
- Pass fewer 'stat' arguments where it can be derived from the 'bcp'
argument.
- Function definitions consistent on one line, and inline in few (short) cases.
- Moved some small structures and an atomic inline function to the header file.
- Moved some local variables to the blocks where they are used.
- Updated the copyright date.
- Shortened uv_write_global_mmr64() etc. using some aliasing; no
line breaks. Renamed many uv_.. functions that are not exported.
- Aligned structure fields.
[ note that not all structures are aligned the same way though; I'd like
to keep the extensive commenting in some of them. ]
- Shortened some long structure names.
- Standard pass/fail exit from init_per_cpu()
- Vertical alignment for mass initializations.
- More separation between blocks of code.
Tested on a 16-processor Altix UV.

This patch adds support for a new version of the SGI UV hub
chip. The hub chip is the node controller that connects multiple
blades into a larger coherent SSI.
For the most part, UV2 is compatible with UV1. The majority of
the changes are in the addresses of MMRs and in a few cases, the
contents of MMRs. These changes are the result in changes in the
system topology such as node configuration, processor types,
maximum nodes, physical address sizes, etc.

magic, they are accessed differently in the kernel, the vsyscall page,
and the vdso, and one of them (vsyscall_clock) doesn't even really
exist.
This changes them all to use a common mechanism. All of them are
delcared in vvar.h with a fixed address (validated by the linker
script). In the kernel (as before), they look like ordinary
read-write variables. In the vsyscall page and the vdso, they are
accessed through a new macro VVAR, which gives read-only access.
The vdso is now loaded verbatim into memory without any fixups. As a
side bonus, access from the vdso is faster because a level of
indirection is removed.
While we're at it, pack jiffies and vgetcpu_mode into the same
cacheline.

Since the emulator now checks segment limits and access rights, it
generates a lot more accesses to the vmcs segment fields. Undo some
of the performance hit by cacheing those fields in a read-only cache
(the entire cache is invalidated on any write, or on guest exit).

Instead of separate accessors for the segment selector and cached descriptor,
use one accessor for both. This simplifies the code somewhat.

This will pave the way for each apic driver to be self-contained
and eliminate the need for apic_probe[].
Order in which apic drivers are listed in the .apicdrivers
section is important, as this determines the apic probe order.
And this is enforced by the ordering of apic driver files in the
Makefile and the macros apic_driver()/apic_drivers().
