81107188f1 slub: Fix partial count comparison confusion
deactivate_slab() has the comparison if more than the minimum number of
partial pages are in the partial list wrong. An effect of this may be that
empty pages are not freed from deactivate_slab(). The result could be an
OOM due to growth of the partial slabs per node. Frees mostly occur from
__slab_free which is okay so this would only affect use cases where a lot
of switching around of per cpu slabs occur.

Switching per cpu slabs occurs with high frequency if debugging options are
enabled.

ef62fb32b7 slub: fix check_bytes() for slub debugging
The check_bytes() function is used by slub debugging.  It returns a pointer
to the first unmatching byte for a character in the given memory area.

If the character for matching byte is greater than 0x80, check_bytes()
doesn't work.  Becuase 64-bit pattern is generated as below.

	value64 = value | value << 8 | value << 16 | value << 24;
	value64 = value64 | value64 << 32;

The integer promotions are performed and sign-extended as the type of value
is u8.  The upper 32 bits of value64 is 0xffffffff in the first line, and
the second line has no effect.

This fixes the 64-bit pattern generation.

6fbabb20fa slub: Fix full list corruption if debugging is on
When a slab is freed by __slab_free() and the slab can only contain a
single object ever then it was full (and therefore not on the partial
lists but on the full list in the debug case) before we reached
slab_empty.

This caused the following full list corruption when SLUB debugging was enabled:

497888cf69 treewide: fix potentially dangerous trailing ';' in #defined values/expressions
All these are instances of
  #define NAME value;
or
  #define NAME(params_opt) value;

These of course fail to build when used in contexts like
  if(foo $OP NAME)
  while(bar $OP NAME)
and may silently generate the wrong code in contexts such as
  foo = NAME + 1;    /* foo = value; + 1; */
  bar = NAME - 1;    /* bar = value; - 1; */
  baz = NAME & quux; /* baz = value; & quux; */

Message-ID: <ab0d55fe-25e5-482b-811e-c475aa6065c3@c29g2000yqd.googlegroups.com>
Initial analysis of the dangers provided by Keith Thompson in that thread.

There are many more instances of more complicated macros having unnecessary
trailing semicolons, but this pile seems to be all of the cases of simple
values suffering from the problem. (Thus things that are likely to be found
in one of the contexts above, more complicated ones aren't.)

1d07171c5e slub: disable interrupts in cmpxchg_double_slab when falling back to pagelock
Split cmpxchg_double_slab into two functions. One for the case where we know that
interrupts are disabled (and therefore the fallback does not need to disable
interrupts) and one for the other cases where fallback will also disable interrupts.

This fixes the issue that __slab_free called cmpxchg_double_slab in some scenarios
without disabling interrupts.

c4089f98e9 slub: reduce overhead of slub_debug
slub checks for poison one byte by one, which is highly inefficient
and shows up frequently as a highest cpu-eater in perf top.

Joining reads gives nice speedup:

(Compiling some project with different options)
                                 make -j12    make clean
slub_debug disabled:             1m 27s       1.2 s
slub_debug enabled:              1m 46s       7.6 s
slub_debug enabled + this patch: 1m 33s       3.2 s

check_bytes still shows up high, but not always at the top.

80f08c191f slub: Avoid disabling interrupts in free slowpath
Disabling interrupts can be avoided now. However, list operation still require
disabling interrupts since allocations can occur from interrupt
contexts and there is no way to perform atomic list operations.

The acquition of the list_lock therefore has to disable interrupts as well.

Dropping interrupt handling significantly simplifies the slowpath.

881db7fb03 slub: Invert locking and avoid slab lock
Locking slabs is no longer necesary if the arch supports cmpxchg operations
and if no debuggin features are used on a slab. If the arch does not support
cmpxchg then we fallback to use the slab lock to do a cmpxchg like operation.

The patch also changes the lock order. Slab locks are subsumed to the node lock
now. With that approach slab_trylocking is no longer necessary.

5cc6eee8a8 slub: explicit list_lock taking
The allocator fastpath rework does change the usage of the list_lock.
Remove the list_lock processing from the functions that hide them from the
critical sections and move them into those critical sections.

This in turn simplifies the support functions (no __ variant needed anymore)
and simplifies the lock handling on bootstrap.

Inline add_partial since it becomes pretty simple.

d4d84fef6d slub: always align cpu_slab to honor cmpxchg_double requirement
On an architecture without CMPXCHG_LOCAL but with DEBUG_VM enabled,
the VM_BUG_ON() in __pcpu_double_call_return_bool() will cause an early
panic during boot unless we always align cpu_slab properly.

In principle we could remove the alignment-testing VM_BUG_ON() for
architectures that don't have CMPXCHG_LOCAL, but leaving it in means
that new code will tend not to break x86 even if it is introduced
on another platform, and it's low cost to require alignment.

a71ae47a2c slub: Fix double bit unlock in debug mode
Commit 442b06bcea ("slub: Remove node check in slab_free") added a
call to deactivate_slab() in the debug case in __slab_alloc(), which
unlocks the current slab used for allocation.  Going to the label
'unlock_out' then does it again.

Also, in the debug case we do not need all the other processing that the
'unlock_out' path does.  We always fall back to the slow path in the
debug case.  So the tid update is useless.

Similarly, ALLOC_SLOWPATH would just be incremented for all allocations.
Also a pretty useless thing.

So simply restore irq flags and return the object.

Gets rid of one check in slab_free() that was only used for

slab_alloc() fastpath to the slowpath in case of debugging.

bd07d87fd4 slub: avoid label inside conditional
Jumping to a label inside a conditional is considered poor style,
especially considering the current organization of __slab_alloc().

This removes the 'load_from_page' label and just duplicates the three
lines of code that it uses:

	c->node = page_to_nid(page);
	c->page = page;
	goto load_freelist;

since it's probably not worth making this a separate helper function.

Remove the #ifdefs. This means that the irqsafe_cpu_cmpxchg_double() is used
everywhere.

There may be performance implications since:

A. We now have to manage a transaction ID for all arches

B. The interrupt holdoff for arches not supporting CONFIG_CMPXCHG_LOCAL is reduced
to a very short irqoff section.

There are no multiple irqoff/irqon sequences as a result of this change. Even in the fallback
case we only have to do one disable and enable like before.

30106b8ce2 slub: Fix the lockless code on 32-bit platforms with no 64-bit cmpxchg
The SLUB allocator use of the cmpxchg_double logic was wrong: it
actually needs the irq-safe one.

That happens automatically when we use the native unlocked 'cmpxchg8b'
instruction, but when compiling the kernel for older x86 CPUs that do
not support that instruction, we fall back to the generic emulation
code.

And if you don't specify that you want the irq-safe version, the generic
code ends up just open-coding the cmpxchg8b equivalent without any
protection against interrupts or preemption.  Which definitely doesn't
work for SLUB.

This was reported by Werner Landgraf <w.landgraf@ru.ru>, who saw
instability with his distro-kernel that was compiled to support pretty
much everything under the sun.  Most big Linux distributions tend to
compile for PPro and later, and would never have noticed this problem.

This also fixes the prototypes for the irqsafe cmpxchg_double functions
to use 'bool' like they should.

[ Btw, that whole "generic code defaults to no protection" design just
  sounds stupid - if the code needs no protection, there is no reason to
  use "cmpxchg_double" to begin with.  So we should probably just remove
  the unprotected version entirely as pointless.   - Linus ]

b8c4c96ed4 SLUB: Write to per cpu data when allocating it
It turns out that the cmpxchg16b emulation has to access vmalloced
percpu memory with interrupts disabled. If the memory has never
been touched before then the fault necessary to establish the
mapping will not to occur and the kernel will fail on boot.

Fix that by reusing the CONFIG_PREEMPT code that writes the
cpu number into a field on every cpu. Writing to the per cpu
area before causes the mapping to be established before we get
to a cmpxchg16b emulation.
