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: text data bss dec hex filename 2371036 765884 1237108 4374028 42be0c vmlinux.discontig 2366549 776484 1302772 4445805 43d66d vmlinux.sparse Signed-off-by: NMatt Tolentino <matthew.e.tolentino@intel.com> Signed-off-by: NDave Hansen <haveblue@us.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: NAndrew Morton <akpm@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: NLinus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>

In order to use the alternative sparsemem implmentation for NUMA kernels, we need to reorganize the config options. This patch effectively abstracts out the CONFIG_DISCONTIGMEM options to CONFIG_NUMA in most cases. Thus, the discontigmem implementation may be employed as always, but the sparsemem implementation may be used alternatively.

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.

For all architectures, this just means that you'll see a "Memory Model" choice in your architecture menu. For those that implement DISCONTIGMEM, you may eventually want to make your ARCH_DISCONTIGMEM_ENABLE a "def_bool y" and make your users select DISCONTIGMEM right out of the new choice menu.

Introduce a simple allocator for the NUMA remap space. This space is very scarce, used for structures which are best allocated node local. This mechanism is also used on non-NUMA ia64 systems with a vmem_map to keep the pgdat->node_mem_map initialized in a consistent place for all architectures. Issues: o alloc_remap takes a node_id where we might expect a pgdat which was intended to allow us to allocate the pgdat's using this mechanism; which we do not yet do. Could have alloc_remap_node() and alloc_remap_nid() for this purpose.

The following four patches provide the last needed changes before the introduction of sparsemem. For a more complete description of what this will do, please see this patch: http://www.sr71.net/patches/2.6.11/2.6.11-bk7-mhp1/broken-out/B-sparse-150-sparsemem.patch or previous posts on the subject: http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?t=110868540700001&r=1&w=2 http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-mm&m=109897373315016&w=2 Three of these are i386-only, but one of them reorganizes the macros used to manage the space in page->flags, and will affect all platforms. There are analogous patches to the i386 ones for ppc64, ia64, and x86_64, but those will be submitted by the normal arch maintainers. The combination of the four patches has been test-booted on a variety of i386 hardware, and compiled for ppc64, i386, and x86-64 with about 17 different .configs. It's also been runtime-tested on ia64 configs (with more patches on top). This patch: We _know_ which node pages in general belong to, at least at a very gross level in node_{start,end}_pfn[]. Use those to target the allocations of pages.

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. Compile tested on alpha, alpha discontig, arm, arm-discontig, i386, i386 generic, NUMAQ, Summit, ppc64, ppc64 discontig, and x86_64.

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 read the 4 byte memory size on 64 bit.

With Chris Wedgwood <cw@f00f.org> Currently UML must explicitly call the UML-specific free_irq_by_irq_and_dev() for each free_irq call it's done. This is needed because ->shutdown and/or ->disable are only called when the last "action" for that irq is removed. Instead, for UML shared IRQs (UML IRQs are very often, if not always, 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).
