Broadcast IPI's provide un-expected behaviour for cpu hotplug. CPU's in
offline state also end up receiving the IPI. Once the cpus become online they
receive these stale IPI's which are bad and introduce unexpected behaviour.
This is easily avoided by not sending a broadcast and addressing just the
CPU's in online map. Doing prelim cycle counts it appears there is no big
overhead and numbers seem around 0x3000-0x3900 on an average on x86 and x86_64
systems with CPUS running 3G, both for broadcast and mask version of the
API's.
The shortcuts are useful only for flat mode (where the perf shows no
degradation), and in cluster mode, its unicast anyway. Its simpler to just
not use broadcast anymore.

Experimental CPU hotplug patch for x86_64
-----------------------------------------
This supports logical CPU online and offline.
- Test with maxcpus=1, and then kick other cpu's off to test if init code
is all cleaned up. CONFIG_SCHED_SMT works as well.
- idle threads are forked on demand from keventd threads for clean startup
TBD:
1. Not tested on a real NUMA machine (tested with numa=fake=2)
2. Handle ACPI pieces for physical hotplug support.

This patch adds __cpuinit and __cpuinitdata sections that need to exist past
boot to support cpu hotplug.
Caveat: This is done *only* for EM64T CPU Hotplug support, on request from
Andi Kleen. Much of the generic hotplug code in kernel, and none of the other
archs that support CPU hotplug today, i386, ia64, ppc64, s390 and parisc dont
mark sections with __cpuinit, but only mark them as __devinit, and
__devinitdata.
If someone is motivated to change generic code, we need to make sure all
existing hotplug code does not break, on other arch's that dont use __cpuinit,
and __cpudevinit.

This patch introduces a startup parameter no_broadcast. When we enable
CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU, we dont want to use broadcast shortcut as it has ill
effects on a offline cpu. If we issue broadcast, the IPI is also delivered
to offline cpus, or partially up cpu causing stale IPI's to be handled,
which is a problem and can cause undesirable effects.
Introduces a new startup cmdline option no_ipi_broadcast, that can be
switched at cmdline if necessary.

(The i386 CPU hotplug patch provides infrastructure for some work which Pavel
is doing as well as for ACPI S3 (suspend-to-RAM) work which Li Shaohua
<shaohua.li@intel.com> is doing)
The following provides i386 architecture support for safely unregistering and
registering processors during runtime, updated for the current -mm tree. In
order to avoid dumping cpu hotplug code into kernel/irq/* i dropped the
cpu_online check in do_IRQ() by modifying fixup_irqs(). The difference being
that on cpu offline, fixup_irqs() is called before we clear the cpu from
cpu_online_map and a long delay in order to ensure that we never have any
queued external interrupts on the APICs. There are additional changes to s390
and ppc64 to account for this change.
1) Add CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU
2) disable local APIC timer on dead cpus.
3) Disable preempt around irq balancing to prevent CPUs going down.
4) Print irq stats for all possible cpus.
5) Debugging check for interrupts on offline cpus.
6) Hacky fixup_irqs() to redirect irqs when cpus go off/online.
7) play_dead() for offline cpus to spin inside.
8) Handle offline cpus set in flush_tlb_others().
9) Grab lock earlier in smp_call_function() to prevent CPUs going down.
10) Implement __cpu_disable() and __cpu_die().
11) Enable local interrupts in cpu_enable() after fixup_irqs()
12) Don't fiddle with NMI on dead cpu, but leave intact on other cpus.
13) Program IRQ affinity whilst cpu is still in cpu_online_map on offline.

This patch adds support for Dynamic Tick Timer for ARM. Dynamic Tick is
also known as VST (Variable Scheduling Timeouts).
Dynamic Tick has been in use in the OMAP tree since last October. The
patch is not intrusive, and does not do anything unless CONFIG_NO_IDLE_HZ
is defined. This patch has the following fixed based on comments from
RMK:
- Time is updated before calling interrupt handlers.
- Added new interrupt flag SA_TIMER to avoid duplicate timer interrupts
- Moved struct dyn_tick_timer to time.h until we at some point probably
have an arch independent dyn-tick.h
- Cleaned up testing for DYN_TICK_ENABLED in irq.c
I've cleaned up this patch to fix some remaining issues:
- Call the timer tick handler with irqs disabled, as it would be from
a normal interrupt
- if we have a dyn_tick, we better implement all methods.
- generic timer_dyn_reprogram() call, to be called before sleeping
- added command line option - "dyntick=" to allow boot-time control
of this feature

following this mail are a port of Kprobes and Jprobes for IA64.

I have also tested this patch using the tool

2) Support Kprobes and Jprobes to exist on the same address
3) Support Return probes
3) Architecture independent cleanup of kprobes

The architecture independent code of the current kprobes implementation is
arming and disarming kprobes at registration time. The problem is that the
code is assuming that arming and disarming is a just done by a simple write
of some magic value to an address. This is problematic for ia64 where our
instructions look more like structures, and we can not insert break points
by just doing something like:
*p->addr = BREAKPOINT_INSTRUCTION;
The following patch to 2.6.12-rc4-mm2 adds two new architecture dependent
functions:
* void arch_arm_kprobe(struct kprobe *p)
* void arch_disarm_kprobe(struct kprobe *p)
and then adds the new functions for each of the architectures that already
implement kprobes (spar64/ppc64/i386/x86_64).
I thought arch_[dis]arm_kprobe was the most descriptive of what was really
happening, but each of the architectures already had a disarm_kprobe()
function that was really a "disarm and do some other clean-up items as
needed when you stumble across a recursive kprobe." So... I took the
liberty of changing the code that was calling disarm_kprobe() to call
arch_disarm_kprobe(), and then do the cleanup in the block of code dealing
with the recursive kprobe case.
So far this patch as been tested on i386, x86_64, and ppc64, but still
needs to be tested in sparc64.

The following patch adds the x86_64 architecture specific implementation
for function return probes.
Function return probes is a mechanism built on top of kprobes that allows
a caller to register a handler to be called when a given function exits.
For example, to instrument the return path of sys_mkdir:
static int sys_mkdir_exit(struct kretprobe_instance *i, struct pt_regs *regs)
{
printk("sys_mkdir exited\n");
return 0;
}
static struct kretprobe return_probe = {
.handler = sys_mkdir_exit,
};
<inside setup function>
return_probe.kp.addr = (kprobe_opcode_t *) kallsyms_lookup_name("sys_mkdir");
if (register_kretprobe(&return_probe)) {
printk(KERN_DEBUG "Unable to register return probe!\n");
/* do error path */
}
<inside cleanup function>
unregister_kretprobe(&return_probe);
The way this works is that:
* At system initialization time, kernel/kprobes.c installs a kprobe
on a function called kretprobe_trampoline() that is implemented in
the arch/x86_64/kernel/kprobes.c (More on this later)
* When a return probe is registered using register_kretprobe(),
kernel/kprobes.c will install a kprobe on the first instruction of the
targeted function with the pre handler set to arch_prepare_kretprobe()
which is implemented in arch/x86_64/kernel/kprobes.c.
* arch_prepare_kretprobe() will prepare a kretprobe instance that stores:
- nodes for hanging this instance in an empty or free list
- a pointer to the return probe
- the original return address
- a pointer to the stack address
With all this stowed away, arch_prepare_kretprobe() then sets the return
address for the targeted function to a special trampoline function called
kretprobe_trampoline() implemented in arch/x86_64/kernel/kprobes.c
* The kprobe completes as normal, with control passing back to the target
function that executes as normal, and eventually returns to our trampoline
function.
* Since a kprobe was installed on kretprobe_trampoline() during system
initialization, control passes back to kprobes via the architecture
specific function trampoline_probe_handler() which will lookup the
instance in an hlist maintained by kernel/kprobes.c, and then call
the handler function.
* When trampoline_probe_handler() is done, the kprobes infrastructure
single steps the original instruction (in this case just a top), and
then calls trampoline_post_handler(). trampoline_post_handler() then
looks up the instance again, puts the instance back on the free list,
and then makes a long jump back to the original return instruction.
So to recap, to instrument the exit path of a function this implementation
will cause four interruptions:
- A breakpoint at the very beginning of the function allowing us to
switch out the return address
- A single step interruption to execute the original instruction that
we replaced with the break instruction (normal kprobe flow)
- A breakpoint in the trampoline function where our instrumented function
returned to
- A single step interruption to execute the original instruction that
we replaced with the break instruction (normal kprobe flow)

This patch adds function-return probes to kprobes for the i386
architecture. This enables you to establish a handler to be run when a
function returns.
1. API
Two new functions are added to kprobes:
int register_kretprobe(struct kretprobe *rp);
void unregister_kretprobe(struct kretprobe *rp);
2. Registration and unregistration
2.1 Register
To register a function-return probe, the user populates the following
fields in a kretprobe object and calls register_kretprobe() with the
kretprobe address as an argument:
kp.addr - the function's address
handler - this function is run after the ret instruction executes, but
before control returns to the return address in the caller.
maxactive - The maximum number of instances of the probed function that
can be active concurrently. For example, if the function is non-
recursive and is called with a spinlock or mutex held, maxactive = 1
should be enough. If the function is non-recursive and can never
relinquish the CPU (e.g., via a semaphore or preemption), NR_CPUS should
be enough. maxactive is used to determine how many kretprobe_instance
objects to allocate for this particular probed function. If maxactive <=
0, it is set to a default value (if CONFIG_PREEMPT maxactive=max(10, 2 *
NR_CPUS) else maxactive=NR_CPUS)
For example:
struct kretprobe rp;
rp.kp.addr = /* entrypoint address */
rp.handler = /*return probe handler */
rp.maxactive = /* e.g., 1 or NR_CPUS or 0, see the above explanation */
register_kretprobe(&rp);
The following field may also be of interest:
nmissed - Initialized to zero when the function-return probe is
registered, and incremented every time the probed function is entered but
there is no kretprobe_instance object available for establishing the
function-return probe (i.e., because maxactive was set too low).
2.2 Unregister
To unregiter a function-return probe, the user calls
unregister_kretprobe() with the same kretprobe object as registered
previously. If a probed function is running when the return probe is
unregistered, the function will return as expected, but the handler won't
be run.
3. Limitations
3.1 This patch supports only the i386 architecture, but patches for
x86_64 and ppc64 are anticipated soon.
3.2 Return probes operates by replacing the return address in the stack
(or in a known register, such as the lr register for ppc). This may
cause __builtin_return_address(0), when invoked from the return-probed
function, to return the address of the return-probes trampoline.
3.3 This implementation uses the "Multiprobes at an address" feature in
2.6.12-rc3-mm3.
3.4 Due to a limitation in multi-probes, you cannot currently establish
a return probe and a jprobe on the same function. A patch to remove
this limitation is being tested.
This feature is required by SystemTap (http://sourceware.org/systemtap),
and reflects ideas contributed by several SystemTap developers, including
Will Cohen and Ananth Mavinakayanahalli.

I suggest to change the way IRQs are handed out to PCI devices.
Currently, each I/O APIC pin gets associated with an IRQ, no matter if the
pin is used or not. It is expected that each pin can potentually be
engaged by a device inserted into the corresponding PCI slot. However,
this imposes severe limitation on systems that have designs that employ
many I/O APICs, only utilizing couple lines of each, such as P64H2 chipset.
It is used in ES7000, and currently, there is no way to boot the system
with more that 9 I/O APICs.
The simple change below allows to boot a system with say 64 (or more) I/O
APICs, each providing 1 slot, which otherwise impossible because of the IRQ
gaps created for unused lines on each I/O APIC. It does not resolve the
problem with number of devices that exceeds number of possible IRQs, but
eases up a tension for IRQs on any large system with potentually large
number of devices.
I only implemented this for the ACPI boot, since if the system is this big
and using newer chipsets it is probably (better be!) an ACPI based system
:). The change is completely "mechanical" and does not alter any internal
structures or interrupt model/implementation. The patch works for both
i386 and x86_64 archs. It works with MSIs just fine, and should not
intervene with implementations like shared vectors, when they get worked
out and incorporated.
To illustrate, below is the interrupt distribution for 2-cell ES7000 with
20 I/O APICs, and an Ethernet card in the last slot, which should be eth1
and which was not configured because its IRQ exceeded allowable number (it
actially turned out huge - 480!):

This is the x86_64 version of the signal fix I just posted for i386.
This problem was first noticed on PPC and has already been fixed there.
But the exact same issue applies to other platforms in the same way. The
signal blocking for sa_mask and the handled signal takes place after the
handler setup. When the stack is bogus, the handler setup forces a
SIGSEGV. But then this will be blocked, and returning to user mode will
fault again and iterate. This patch fixes the problem by checking whether
signal handler setup failed, and not doing the signal-blocking if so. This
copies what was done in the ppc code. I think all architectures' signal
handler setup code follows this pattern and needs the change.

Issue:
Current tsc based delay_calibration can result in significant errors in
loops_per_jiffy count when the platform events like SMIs
(System Management Interrupts that are non-maskable) are present. This could
lead to potential kernel panic(). This issue is becoming more visible with 2.6
kernel (as default HZ is 1000) and on platforms with higher SMI handling
latencies. During the boot time, SMIs are mostly used by BIOS (for things
like legacy keyboard emulation).
Description:
The psuedocode for current delay calibration with tsc based delay looks like
(0) Estimate a value for loops_per_jiffy
(1) While (loops_per_jiffy estimate is accurate enough)
(2) wait for jiffy transition (jiffy1)
(3) Note down current tsc (tsc1)
(4) loop until tsc becomes tsc1 + loops_per_jiffy
(5) check whether jiffy changed since jiffy1 or not and refine
loops_per_jiffy estimate
Consider the following cases
Case 1:
If SMIs happen between (2) and (3) above, we can end up with a
loops_per_jiffy value that is too low. This results in shorted delays and
kernel can panic () during boot (Mostly at IOAPIC timer initialization
timer_irq_works() as we don't have enough timer interrupts in a specified
interval).
Case 2:
If SMIs happen between (3) and (4) above, then we can end up with a
loops_per_jiffy value that is too high. And with current i386 code, too
high lpj value (greater than 17M) can result in a overflow in
delay.c:__const_udelay() again resulting in shorter delay and panic().
Solution:
The patch below makes the calibration routine aware of asynchronous events
like SMIs. We increase the delay calibration time and also identify any
significant errors (greater than 12.5%) in the calibration and notify it to
user.
Patch below changes both i386 and x86-64 architectures to use this
new and improved calibrate_delay_direct() routine.

The attached patch causes the various arch specific install.sh scripts to
look for ${CROSS_COMPILE}installkernel rather than just installkernel (in
both /sbin/ and ~/bin/ where the script already did this). This allows you
to have e.g. arm-linux-installkernel as a handy way to install on your
cross target. It also prevents the script picking up on the host
/sbin/installkernel which causes the script to fall through and do the
install itself (which is what I actually use myself, with $INSTALL_PATH
set).
I don't believe it causes back-compatibility problems since calling the
host installkernel was never likely to work or be what you wanted when
cross compiling anyway. If $CROSS_COMPILE isn't set then nothing changes.

This patch adds in the necessary support for sparsemem such that x86-64
kernels may use sparsemem as an alternative to discontigmem for NUMA
kernels. Note that this does no preclude one from continuing to build NUMA
kernels using discontigmem, but merely allows the option to build NUMA
kernels with sparsemem.
Interestingly, the use of sparsemem in lieu of discontigmem in NUMA kernels
results in reduced text size for otherwise equivalent kernels as shown in
the example builds below:

The part of the sparsemem patch which modifies memmap_init_zone() has recently
become a problem. It changes behavior so that there is a call to
pfn_to_page() for each individual page inside of a node's range:
node_start_pfn through node_end_pfn. It used to simply do this once, at the
beginning of the node, but having sparsemem's non-contiguous mem_map[]s inside
of a node made it necessary to change.
Mike Kravetz recently wrote a patch which made the NUMA code accept some new
kinds of layouts. The system's memory was laid out like this, with node 0's
memory in two pieces: one before and one after node 1's memory:
Node 0: +++++ +++++
Node 1: +++++
Previous behavior before Mike's patch was to assign nodes like this:
Node 0: 00000 XXXXX
Node 1: 11111
Where the 'X' areas were simply thrown away. The new behavior was to make the
pg_data_t span node 0 across all of its areas, including areas that are really
node 1's: Node 0: 000000000000000 Node 1: 11111
This wastes a little bit of mem_map space, but ends up being OK, and more
fully utilizes the system's memory. memmap_init_zone() initializes all of the
"struct page"s for node 0, even for the "hole", but those never get used,
because there is no pfn_to_page() that resolves to those pages. However, only
calling pfn_to_page() once, memmap_init_zone() always uses the pages that were
allocated for node0->node_mem_map because:
struct page *start = pfn_to_page(start_pfn);
// effectively start = &node->node_mem_map[0]
for (page = start; page < (start + size); page++) {
init_page_here();...
page++;
}
Slow, and wasteful, but generally harmless.
But, modify that to call pfn_to_page() for each loop iteration (like sparsemem
does):
for (pfn = start_pfn; pfn < < (start_pfn + size); pfn++++) {
page = pfn_to_page(pfn);
}
And you end up trying to initialize node 1's pages too early, along with bogus
data from node 0. This patch checks for those weird layouts and declines to
touch the pages, making the more frequent pfn_to_page() calls OK to do.

Sparsemem abstracts the use of discontiguous mem_maps[]. This kind of
mem_map[] is needed by discontiguous memory machines (like in the old
CONFIG_DISCONTIGMEM case) as well as memory hotplug systems. Sparsemem
replaces DISCONTIGMEM when enabled, and it is hoped that it can eventually
become a complete replacement.
A significant advantage over DISCONTIGMEM is that it's completely separated
from CONFIG_NUMA. When producing this patch, it became apparent in that NUMA
and DISCONTIG are often confused.
Another advantage is that sparse doesn't require each NUMA node's ranges to be
contiguous. It can handle overlapping ranges between nodes with no problems,
where DISCONTIGMEM currently throws away that memory.
Sparsemem uses an array to provide different pfn_to_page() translations for
each SECTION_SIZE area of physical memory. This is what allows the mem_map[]
to be chopped up.
In order to do quick pfn_to_page() operations, the section number of the page
is encoded in page->flags. Part of the sparsemem infrastructure enables
sharing of these bits more dynamically (at compile-time) between the
page_zone() and sparsemem operations. However, on 32-bit architectures, the
number of bits is quite limited, and may require growing the size of the
page->flags type in certain conditions. Several things might force this to
occur: a decrease in the SECTION_SIZE (if you want to hotplug smaller areas of
memory), an increase in the physical address space, or an increase in the
number of used page->flags.
One thing to note is that, once sparsemem is present, the NUMA node
information no longer needs to be stored in the page->flags. It might provide
speed increases on certain platforms and will be stored there if there is
room. But, if out of room, an alternate (theoretically slower) mechanism is
used.
This patch introduces CONFIG_FLATMEM. It is used in almost all cases where
there used to be an #ifndef DISCONTIG, because SPARSEMEM and DISCONTIGMEM
often have to compile out the same areas of code.

o alloc_remap takes a node_id where we might expect a pgdat which was intended

This patch effectively eliminates direct use of pgdat->node_mem_map outside
of the DISCONTIG code. On a flat memory system, these fields aren't
currently used, neither are they on a sparsemem system.
There was also a node_mem_map(nid) macro on many architectures. Its use
along with the use of ->node_mem_map itself was not consistent. It has
been removed in favor of two new, more explicit, arch-independent macros:
pgdat_page_nr(pgdat, pagenr)
nid_page_nr(nid, pagenr)
I called them "pgdat" and "nid" because we overload the term "node" to mean
"NUMA node", "DISCONTIG node" or "pg_data_t" in very confusing ways. I
believe the newer names are much clearer.
These macros can be overridden in the sparsemem case with a theoretically
slower operation using node_start_pfn and pfn_to_page(), instead. We could
make this the only behavior if people want, but I don't want to change too
much at once. One thing at a time.
This patch removes more code than it adds.

For I/O DLPAR to work properly, the kernel needs to allow for dynamic
assignment of the irq field of the pci_dev structure upon dynamic bus
addition. This patch moves the assignment of that field from
pSeries_final_fixup() to pcibios_fixup_bus(), which enables dynamic
assignment for the children of a newly added bus.
Currently, pci_devs receive their irq numbers in one of two ways. The
irq line is either read at boot for all pci_devs, or read by the rpaphp
module at slot enable time. The latter is no longer sufficient for
DLPAR addition of slots that don't qualify as PCI-hotplug capable.
This solution handles the cases of boot and dynamic add.

This patch corrects the printing of progress indicators to the op
panel on p/iSeries ppc64 systems. Each discrete reference code should
begin with a form feed char to clear the op panel, and the first and
second lines should be separated with a CR/LF sequence. Padding with
spaces is not necessary.
Also, capitalize the hex value printed on the first line, to be
consistent with the values printed by firmware, service processor,
etc.
It turns out that there's an ibm,form-feed property; this patch uses
it in the pSeries-specific progress routine. This patch also checks
the number of rows and the specific width of each row (the second row
on power5 systems can actually hold 80 characters). If the displayed
text is too wide for the physical display, it can be viewed in the ASM
menus, or by selecting option 14 on the op panel.

Implementation of software load support for the BE iommu. This is very
different from other iommu code on ppc64, since we only do a static mapping.
The mapping is currently hardcoded but should really be read from the
firmware, but they don't set up the device nodes yet. There is a single
512MB DMA window for PCI, USB and ethernet at 0x20000000 for our RAM.
The Cell processor can put the I/O page table either in memory like
the hashed page table (hardware load) or have the operating system
write the entries into memory mapped CPU registers (software load).
I use the software load mechanism because I know that all I/O page
table entries for the amount of installed physical memory fit into
the IO TLB cache. At the point when we get machines with more than
4GB of installed memory, we can either use hardware I/O page table
access like the other platforms do or dynamically update the I/O
TLB entries when a page fault occurs in the I/O subsystem.
The software load can then use the macros that I have implemented
for the static mapping in order to do the TLB cache updates.

The kernel takes a very long time to boot if the memory size is bigger then
32767 MB. The memory size is contained in a structure created by an sclp
call. The kernel accesses the field with a LH instrution which performs a
sign extension of a 16 bit word. In the case of a memory size with bit 2^15
set this results in a very large value and the memory detection just loops for
a long time. In addition if more then 64 GB are used on a 64 bit system the
memory size is read from an incorrect storage location.
Use zero-extention to read the 16 bit memory size and the correct offset to

shared), for each dev_id some setup is done, which must be cleared on the
release of that fd. For instance, for each open console a new instance
(i.e. new dev_id) of the same IRQ is requested().
Exactly, a fd is stored in an array (pollfds), which is after read by a
host thread and passed to poll(). Each event registered by poll() triggers
an interrupt. So, for each free_irq() we must remove the corresponding
host fd from the table, which we do via this -release() method.
In this patch we add an appropriate hook for this, and remove all uses of
it by pointing the hook to the said procedure; this is safe to do since the
said procedure.
Also some cosmetic improvements are included.
This is heavily based on some work by Chris Wedgwood, which however didn't
get the patch merged for something I'd call a "misunderstanding" (the need
for this patch wasn't cleanly explained, thus adding the generic hook was
felt as undesirable).

This patch contains the ia64 uncached page allocator and the generic
allocator (genalloc). The uncached allocator was formerly part of the SN2
mspec driver but there are several other users of it so it has been split
off from the driver.
The generic allocator can be used by device driver to manage special memory
etc. The generic allocator is based on the allocator from the sym53c8xx_2
driver.
Various users on ia64 needs uncached memory. The SGI SN architecture requires
it for inter-partition communication between partitions within a large NUMA
cluster. The specific user for this is the XPC code. Another application is
large MPI style applications which use it for synchronization, on SN this can
be done using special 'fetchop' operations but it also benefits non SN
hardware which may use regular uncached memory for this purpose. Performance
of doing this through uncached vs cached memory is pretty substantial. This
is handled by the mspec driver which I will push out in a seperate patch.
Rather than creating a specific allocator for just uncached memory I came up
with genalloc which is a generic purpose allocator that can be used by device
drivers and other subsystems as they please. For instance to handle onboard
device memory. It was derived from the sym53c7xx_2 driver's allocator which
is also an example of a potential user (I am refraining from modifying sym2
right now as it seems to have been under fairly heavy development recently).
On ia64 memory has various properties within a granule, ie. it isn't safe to
access memory as uncached within the same granule as currently has memory
accessed in cached mode. The regular system therefore doesn't utilize memory
in the lower granules which is mixed in with device PAL code etc. The
uncached driver walks the EFI memmap and pulls out the spill uncached pages
and sticks them into the uncached pool. Only after these chunks have been
utilized, will it start converting regular cached memory into uncached memory.
Hence the reason for the EFI related code additions.

Ingo recently introduced a great speedup for allocating new mmaps using the
free_area_cache pointer which boosts the specweb SSL benchmark by 4-5% and
causes huge performance increases in thread creation.
The downside of this patch is that it does lead to fragmentation in the
mmap-ed areas (visible via /proc/self/maps), such that some applications
that work fine under 2.4 kernels quickly run out of memory on any 2.6
kernel.
The problem is twofold:
1) the free_area_cache is used to continue a search for memory where
the last search ended. Before the change new areas were always
searched from the base address on.
So now new small areas are cluttering holes of all sizes
throughout the whole mmap-able region whereas before small holes
tended to close holes near the base leaving holes far from the base
large and available for larger requests.
2) the free_area_cache also is set to the location of the last
munmap-ed area so in scenarios where we allocate e.g. five regions of
1K each, then free regions 4 2 3 in this order the next request for 1K
will be placed in the position of the old region 3, whereas before we
appended it to the still active region 1, placing it at the location
of the old region 2. Before we had 1 free region of 2K, now we only
get two free regions of 1K -> fragmentation.
The patch addresses thes issues by introducing yet another cache descriptor
cached_hole_size that contains the largest known hole size below the
current free_area_cache. If a new request comes in the size is compared
against the cached_hole_size and if the request can be filled with a hole
below free_area_cache the search is started from the base instead.
The results look promising: Whereas 2.6.12-rc4 fragments quickly and my
(earlier posted) leakme.c test program terminates after 50000+ iterations
with 96 distinct and fragmented maps in /proc/self/maps it performs nicely
(as expected) with thread creation, Ingo's test_str02 with 20000 threads
requires 0.7s system time.
Taking out Ingo's patch (un-patch available per request) by basically
deleting all mentions of free_area_cache from the kernel and starting the
search for new memory always at the respective bases we observe: leakme
terminates successfully with 11 distinctive hardly fragmented areas in
/proc/self/maps but thread creating is gringdingly slow: 30+s(!) system
time for Ingo's test_str02 with 20000 threads.
Now - drumroll ;-) the appended patch works fine with leakme: it ends with
only 7 distinct areas in /proc/self/maps and also thread creation seems
sufficiently fast with 0.71s for 20000 threads.

A lot of the code in arch/*/mm/hugetlbpage.c is quite similar. This patch
attempts to consolidate a lot of the code across the arch's, putting the
combined version in mm/hugetlb.c. There are a couple of uglyish hacks in
order to covert all the hugepage archs, but the result is a very large
reduction in the total amount of code. It also means things like hugepage
lazy allocation could be implemented in one place, instead of six.
Tested, at least a little, on ppc64, i386 and x86_64.

This is the core of the (much simplified) early reclaim. The goal of this
patch is to reclaim some easily-freed pages from a zone before falling back
onto another zone.
One of the major uses of this is NUMA machines. With the default allocator
behavior the allocator would look for memory in another zone, which might be
off-node, before trying to reclaim from the current zone.
This adds a zone tuneable to enable early zone reclaim. It is selected on a
per-zone basis and is turned on/off via syscall.
Adding some extra throttling on the reclaim was also required (patch
4/4). Without the machine would grind to a crawl when doing a "make -j"
kernel build. Even with this patch the System Time is higher on
average, but it seems tolerable. Here are some numbers for kernbench
runs on a 2-node, 4cpu, 8Gig RAM Altix in the "make -j" run:
wall user sys %cpu ctx sw. sleeps
---- ---- --- ---- ------ ------
No patch 1009 1384 847 258 298170 504402
w/patch, no reclaim 880 1376 667 288 254064 396745
w/patch & reclaim 1079 1385 926 252 291625 548873
These numbers are the average of 2 runs of 3 "make -j" runs done right
after system boot. Run-to-run variability for "make -j" is huge, so
these numbers aren't terribly useful except to seee that with reclaim
the benchmark still finishes in a reasonable amount of time.
I also looked at the NUMA hit/miss stats for the "make -j" runs and the
reclaim doesn't make any difference when the machine is thrashing away.
Doing a "make -j8" on a single node that is filled with page cache pages
takes 700 seconds with reclaim turned on and 735 seconds without reclaim
(due to remote memory accesses).

This patch implements a number of smp_processor_id() cleanup ideas that
Arjan van de Ven and I came up with.
The previous __smp_processor_id/_smp_processor_id/smp_processor_id API
spaghetti was hard to follow both on the implementational and on the
usage side.
Some of the complexity arose from picking wrong names, some of the
complexity comes from the fact that not all architectures defined
__smp_processor_id.
In the new code, there are two externally visible symbols:
- smp_processor_id(): debug variant.
- raw_smp_processor_id(): nondebug variant. Replaces all existing
uses of _smp_processor_id() and __smp_processor_id(). Defined
by every SMP architecture in include/asm-*/smp.h.
There is one new internal symbol, dependent on DEBUG_PREEMPT:
- debug_smp_processor_id(): internal debug variant, mapped to
smp_processor_id().
Also, i moved debug_smp_processor_id() from lib/kernel_lock.c into a new

I have build/boot tested the following 8 .config combinations on x86:
{SMP,UP} x {PREEMPT,!PREEMPT} x {DEBUG_PREEMPT,!DEBUG_PREEMPT}
I have also build/boot tested x64 on UP/PREEMPT/DEBUG_PREEMPT. (Other
architectures are untested, but should work just fine.)

Appended patch will setup compatibility mode TASK_SIZE properly. This will
fix atleast three known bugs that can be encountered while running
compatibility mode apps.
a) A malicious 32bit app can have an elf section at 0xffffe000. During
exec of this app, we will have a memory leak as insert_vm_struct() is
not checking for return value in syscall32_setup_pages() and thus not
freeing the vma allocated for the vsyscall page. And instead of exec
failing (as it has addresses > TASK_SIZE), we were allowing it to
succeed previously.
b) With a 32bit app, hugetlb_get_unmapped_area/arch_get_unmapped_area
may return addresses beyond 32bits, ultimately causing corruption
because of wrap-around and resulting in SEGFAULT, instead of returning
ENOMEM.
c) 32bit app doing this below mmap will now fail.
mmap((void *)(0xFFFFE000UL), 0x10000UL, PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE,
MAP_FIXED|MAP_PRIVATE|MAP_ANON, 0, 0);

Remove "pci=routeirq" option for ia64. This was a workaround
after ACPI IRQ routing was changed from "all at boot for everything
in _PRT" to "do it when the device is enabled" in case there were
drivers that didn't use pci_enable_device().

The nested_dtlb_miss handler currently does not handle fault from
hugetlb address correctly. It walks the page table assuming PAGE_SIZE.
Thus when taking a fault triggered from hugetlb address, it would not
calculate the pgd/pmd/pte address correctly and thus result an incorrect
invocation of ia64_do_page_fault(). In there, kernel will signal SIGBUS
and application dies (The faulting address is perfectly legal and we
have a valid pte for the corresponding user hugetlb address as well).
This patch fix the described kernel bug. Since nested_dtlb_miss is a
rare event and a slow path anyway, I'm making the change without #ifdef
CONFIG_HUGETLB_PAGE for code readability. Tony, please apply.

Allow the SGI simulator (medusa) to work on generic kernels. There is
no inherent dependency on an sn2-specific kernel.
