This moves the definition of struct page from mm.h to its own header file
page-struct.h. This is a prereq to fix SetPageUptodate which is broken on
s390:
#define SetPageUptodate(_page)
do {
struct page *__page = (_page);
if (!test_and_set_bit(PG_uptodate, &__page->flags))
page_test_and_clear_dirty(_page);
} while (0)
_page gets used twice in this macro which can cause subtle bugs. Using
__page for the page_test_and_clear_dirty call doesn't work since it causes
yet another problem with the page_test_and_clear_dirty macro as well.
In order to avoid all these problems caused by macros it seems to be a good
idea to get rid of them and convert them to static inline functions.
Because of header file include order it's necessary to have a seperate
header file for the struct page definition.

The VM is supposed to minimise the number of pages which get written off the
LRU (for IO scheduling efficiency, and for high reclaim-success rates). But
we don't actually have a clear way of showing how true this is.
So add `nr_vmscan_write' to /proc/vmstat and /proc/zoneinfo - the number of
pages which have been written by the vm scanner in this zone and globally.

Arch-independent zone-sizing determines the size of a node
(pgdat->node_spanned_pages) based on the physical memory that was
registered by the architecture. However, when
CONFIG_MEMORY_HOTPLUG_RESERVE is set, the architecture expects that the
spanned_pages will be much larger and that mem_map will be allocated that
is used lated on memory hot-add.
This patch allows an architecture that sets CONFIG_MEMORY_HOTPLUG_RESERVE
to call push_node_boundaries() which will set the node beginning and end to
at *least* the requested boundary.

The x86_64 code accounted for memmap and some portions of the the DMA zone as
holes. This was because those areas would never be reclaimed and accounting
for them as memory affects min watermarks. This patch will account for the

if they wish to account for a portion of memory in ZONE_DMA as a hole.

At a basic level, architectures define structures to record where active
ranges of page frames are located. Once located, the code to calculate zone
sizes and holes in each architecture is very similar. Some of this zone and
hole sizing code is difficult to read for no good reason. This set of patches
eliminates the similar-looking architecture-specific code.
The patches introduce a mechanism where architectures register where the
active ranges of page frames are with add_active_range(). When all areas have
been discovered, free_area_init_nodes() is called to initialise the pgdat and
zones. The zone sizes and holes are then calculated in an architecture
independent manner.
Patch 1 introduces the mechanism for registering and initialising PFN ranges
Patch 2 changes ppc to use the mechanism - 139 arch-specific LOC removed
Patch 3 changes x86 to use the mechanism - 136 arch-specific LOC removed
Patch 4 changes x86_64 to use the mechanism - 74 arch-specific LOC removed
Patch 5 changes ia64 to use the mechanism - 52 arch-specific LOC removed
Patch 6 accounts for mem_map as a memory hole as the pages are not reclaimable.
It adjusts the watermarks slightly
Tony Luck has successfully tested for ia64 on Itanium with tiger_defconfig,
gensparse_defconfig and defconfig. Bob Picco has also tested and debugged on
IA64. Jack Steiner successfully boot tested on a mammoth SGI IA64-based
machine. These were on patches against 2.6.17-rc1 and release 3 of these
patches but there have been no ia64-changes since release 3.
There are differences in the zone sizes for x86_64 as the arch-specific code
for x86_64 accounts the kernel image and the starting mem_maps as memory holes
but the architecture-independent code accounts the memory as present.
The big benefit of this set of patches is a sizable reduction of
architecture-specific code, some of which is very hairy. There should be a
greater reduction when other architectures use the same mechanisms for zone
and hole sizing but I lack the hardware to test on.

Define the structure to represent an active range of page frames within a node

These are a few places I've found in jbd that look like they may not be

journal blocks past the 8T boundary, which would not be terribly common.
Still, should fix.
(some of these have come from the ext4 work on jbd as well).
I think there's one more possibility that the wrap() function may not be

There are numerous drivers that can use multithreaded probing but having
some kind of global flag as the way to control this makes migration to
threaded probing hard and since it enables it everywhere and is almost
as likely to cause serious pain as holding a clog dance in a minefield.
If we have a pci_driver multithread_probe flag to inherit you can turn
it on for one driver at a time.
From playing so far however I think we need a different model at the
device layer which serializes until the called probe function says "ok
you can start another one now". That would need some kind of flag and
semaphore plus a helper function.
Anyway in the absence of that this is a starting point to usefully play
with this stuff

Patch 3 implements the core part of PCI-Express AER and aerdrv
port service driver.
When a root port service device is probed, the aerdrv will call
request_irq to register irq handler for AER error interrupt.
When a device sends an PCI-Express error message to the root port,
the root port will trigger an interrupt, by either MSI or IO-APIC,
then kernel would run the irq handler. The handler collects root
error status register and schedules a work. The work will call
the core part to process the error based on its type
(Correctable/non-fatal/fatal).
As for Correctable errors, the patch chooses to just clear the correctable
error status register of the device.
As for the non-fatal error, the patch follows generic PCI error handler
rules to call the error callback functions of the endpoint's driver. If
the device is a bridge, the patch chooses to broadcast the error to
downstream devices.
As for the fatal error, the patch resets the pci-express link and

Make swsusp use memory bitmaps to store its internal information during the
resume phase of the suspend-resume cycle.
If the pfns of saveable pages are saved during the suspend phase instead of
the kernel virtual addresses of these pages, we can use them during the resume
phase directly to set the corresponding bits in a memory bitmap. Then, this
bitmap is used to mark the page frames corresponding to the pages that were
saveable before the suspend (aka "unsafe" page frames).
Next, we allocate as many page frames as needed to store the entire suspend
image and make sure that there will be some extra free "safe" page frames for
the list of PBEs constructed later. Subsequently, the image is loaded and, if
possible, the data loaded from it are written into their "original" page
frames (ie. the ones they had occupied before the suspend).
The image data that cannot be written into their "original" page frames are
loaded into "safe" page frames and their "original" kernel virtual addresses,
as well as the addresses of the "safe" pages containing their copies, are
stored in a list of PBEs. Finally, the list of PBEs is used to copy the
remaining image data into their "original" page frames (this is done
atomically, by the architecture-dependent parts of swsusp).

The current suspend code has to be run on one CPU, so we use the CPU
hotplug to take the non-boot CPUs offline on SMP machines. However, we
should also make sure that these CPUs will not be enabled by someone else
after we have disabled them.
The functions disable_nonboot_cpus() and enable_nonboot_cpus() are moved to
kernel/cpu.c, because they now refer to some stuff in there that should
better be static. Also it's better if disable_nonboot_cpus() returns an
error instead of panicking if something goes wrong, and
enable_nonboot_cpus() has no reason to panic(), because the CPUs may have
been enabled by the userland before it tries to take them online.

I've come across some problems with the assembly version of the ELFNOTE
macro currently in -mm. (in
x86-put-note-sections-into-a-pt_note-segment-in-vmlinux.patch)
The first is that older gas does not support :varargs in .macro
definitions (in my testing 2.17 does while 2.15 does not, I don't know
when it became supported). The Changes file says binutils >= 2.12 so I
think we need to avoid using it. There are no other uses in mainline or
-mm. Old gas appears to just ignore it so you get "too many arguments"
type errors.
Secondly it seems that passing strings as arguments to assembler macros
is broken without varargs. It looks like they get unquoted or each
character is treated as a separate argument or something and this causes
all manner of grief. I think this is because of the use of -traditional
when compiling assembly files.
Therefore I have translated the assembler macro into a pre-processor
macro.
I added the desctype as a separate argument instead of including it with
the descdata as the previous version did since -traditional means the
ELFNOTE definition after the #else needs to have the same number of
arguments (I think so anyway, the -traditional CPP semantics are pretty
fscking strange!).
With this patch I am able to define elfnotes in assembly like this with
both old and new assemblers.
ELFNOTE(Xen, XEN_ELFNOTE_GUEST_OS, .asciz, "linux")
ELFNOTE(Xen, XEN_ELFNOTE_GUEST_VERSION, .asciz, "2.6")
ELFNOTE(Xen, XEN_ELFNOTE_XEN_VERSION, .asciz, "xen-3.0")
ELFNOTE(Xen, XEN_ELFNOTE_VIRT_BASE, .long, __PAGE_OFFSET)

This patch will pack any .note.* section into a PT_NOTE segment in the output
file.
To do this, we tell ld that we need a PT_NOTE segment. This requires us to
start explicitly mapping sections to segments, so we also need to explicitly
create PT_LOAD segments for text and data, and map the sections to them
appropriately. Fortunately, each section will default to its previous
section's segment, so it doesn't take many changes to vmlinux.lds.S.
This only changes i386 for now, but I presume the corresponding changes for
other architectures will be as simple.
This change also adds <linux/elfnote.h>, which defines C and Assembler macros
for actually creating ELF notes.

This adds support for the Atmel AVR32 architecture as well as the AT32AP7000
CPU and the AT32STK1000 development board.
AVR32 is a new high-performance 32-bit RISC microprocessor core, designed for
cost-sensitive embedded applications, with particular emphasis on low power
consumption and high code density. The AVR32 architecture is not binary
compatible with earlier 8-bit AVR architectures.
The AVR32 architecture, including the instruction set, is described by the
AVR32 Architecture Manual, available from
http://www.atmel.com/dyn/resources/prod_documents/doc32000.pdf
The Atmel AT32AP7000 is the first CPU implementing the AVR32 architecture. It
features a 7-stage pipeline, 16KB instruction and data caches and a full
Memory Management Unit. It also comes with a large set of integrated
peripherals, many of which are shared with the AT91 ARM-based controllers from
Atmel.
Full data sheet is available from
http://www.atmel.com/dyn/resources/prod_documents/doc32003.pdf
while the CPU core implementation including caches and MMU is documented by
the AVR32 AP Technical Reference, available from
http://www.atmel.com/dyn/resources/prod_documents/doc32001.pdf
Information about the AT32STK1000 development board can be found at
http://www.atmel.com/dyn/products/tools_card.asp?tool_id=3918
including a BSP CD image with an earlier version of this patch, development
tools (binaries and source/patches) and a root filesystem image suitable for
booting from SD card.
Alternatively, there's a preliminary "getting started" guide available at
http://avr32linux.org/twiki/bin/view/Main/GettingStarted which provides links
to the sources and patches you will need in order to set up a cross-compiling
environment for avr32-linux.
This patch, as well as the other patches included with the BSP and the
toolchain patches, is actively supported by Atmel Corporation.

There are many places where we need to determine the node of a zone.
Currently we use a difficult to read sequence of pointer dereferencing.
Put that into an inline function and use throughout VM. Maybe we can find
a way to optimize the lookup in the future.

Currently one can enable slab reclaim by setting an explicit option in
/proc/sys/vm/zone_reclaim_mode. Slab reclaim is then used as a final
option if the freeing of unmapped file backed pages is not enough to free
enough pages to allow a local allocation.
However, that means that the slab can grow excessively and that most memory
of a node may be used by slabs. We have had a case where a machine with
46GB of memory was using 40-42GB for slab. Zone reclaim was effective in
dealing with pagecache pages. However, slab reclaim was only done during
global reclaim (which is a bit rare on NUMA systems).
This patch implements slab reclaim during zone reclaim. Zone reclaim
occurs if there is a danger of an off node allocation. At that point we
1. Shrink the per node page cache if the number of pagecache
pages is more than min_unmapped_ratio percent of pages in a zone.
2. Shrink the slab cache if the number of the nodes reclaimable slab pages
(patch depends on earlier one that implements that counter)
are more than min_slab_ratio (a new /proc/sys/vm tunable).
The shrinking of the slab cache is a bit problematic since it is not node
specific. So we simply calculate what point in the slab we want to reach
(current per node slab use minus the number of pages that neeed to be
allocated) and then repeately run the global reclaim until that is
unsuccessful or we have reached the limit. I hope we will have zone based
slab reclaim at some point which will make that easier.
The default for the min_slab_ratio is 5%
Also remove the slab option from /proc/sys/vm/zone_reclaim_mode.

Remove the atomic counter for slab_reclaim_pages and replace the counter
and NR_SLAB with two ZVC counter that account for unreclaimable and
reclaimable slab pages: NR_SLAB_RECLAIMABLE and NR_SLAB_UNRECLAIMABLE.
Change the check in vmscan.c to refer to to NR_SLAB_RECLAIMABLE. The
intend seems to be to check for slab pages that could be freed.

Add a new gfp flag __GFP_THISNODE to avoid fallback to other nodes. This
flag is essential if a kernel component requires memory to be located on a
certain node. It will be needed for alloc_pages_node() to force allocation
on the indicated node and for alloc_pages() to force allocation on the
current node.
