Prior to commit fe35004f ("mm: avoid swapping out with swappiness==0") setting swappiness to 0, reclaim code could still evict recently used user anonymous memory to swap even though there is a significant amount of RAM used for page cache. The behaviour of setting swappiness to 0 has since changed. When set, the reclaim code does not initiate swap until the amount of free pages and file-backed pages, is less than the high water mark in a zone. Let's update the documentation to reflect this.

There are two ways to run a pattern in LP5523. One is using legacy sysfs files such as 'enginex_mode','enginex_load' and 'enginex_leds'. ('x' is from 1 to 3). Among them, 'enginex_leds' are used for selecting specific LED channel MUX. (MUX means which LEDs are used for running a pattern from LED 1 to 9.) The other way is using the firmware interface. In this mode, the default LED MUX strings are used. In other words, LED MUX is not configurable on the fly. This patch enables dynamic LED MUX configuration when the firmware is loaded. By accessing the sysfs file 'enginex_leds', the LED channels can be configured. To synchronize the operation mode, each engine mode should be set to 'LOAD'. The documentation is updated as well.

The 7 lines driven by the TCA6507 can either drive LEDs or act as output-only GPIOs. To make this distinction in devicetree we use the "compatible" property. If the device attached to a line is "compatible" with "gpio", we treat it like a GPIO. If it is "compatible" with "led" (or if no "compatible" value is set) we treat it like an LED.

For general-purpose (i.e. distro) kernel builds it makes sense to build with CONFIG_KEXEC to allow end users to choose what kind of things they want to do with kexec. However, in the face of trying to lock down a system with such a kernel, there needs to be a way to disable kexec_load (much like module loading can be disabled). Without this, it is too easy for the root user to modify kernel memory even when CONFIG_STRICT_DEVMEM and modules_disabled are set. With this change, it is still possible to load an image for use later, then disable kexec_load so the image (or lack of image) can't be altered. The intention is for using this in environments where "perfect" enforcement is hard. Without a verified boot, along with verified modules, and along with verified kexec, this is trying to give a system a better chance to defend itself (or at least grow the window of discoverability) against attack in the face of a privilege escalation. In my mind, I consider several boot scenarios: 1) Verified boot of read-only verified root fs loading fd-based verification of kexec images. 2) Secure boot of writable root fs loading signed kexec images. 3) Regular boot loading kexec (e.g. kcrash) image early and locking it. 4) Regular boot with no control of kexec image at all. 1 and 2 don't exist yet, but will soon once the verified kexec series has landed. 4 is the state of things now. The gap between 2 and 4 is too large, so this change creates scenario 3, a middle-ground above 4 when 2 and 1 are not possible for a system.

Documentation/vm/locking is a blast from the past. In the entire git history, it has had precisely Three modifications. Two of those look to be pure renames, and the third was from 2005. The doc contains such gems as: > The page_table_lock is grabbed while holding the > kernel_lock spinning monitor. > Page stealers hold kernel_lock to protect against a bunch of > races. Or this which talks about mmap_sem: > 4. The exception to this rule is expand_stack, which just > takes the read lock and the page_table_lock, this is ok > because it doesn't really modify fields anybody relies on. expand_stack() doesn't take any locks any more directly, and the mmap_sem acquisition was long ago moved up in to the page fault code itself.

Some applications that run on HPC clusters are designed around the availability of RAM and the overcommit ratio is fine tuned to get the maximum usage of memory without swapping. With growing memory, the 1%-of-all-RAM grain provided by overcommit_ratio has become too coarse for these workload (on a 2TB machine it represents no less than 20GB). This patch adds the new overcommit_kbytes sysctl variable that allow a much finer grain.

由 Rik van Riel 提交于
Many load balancing and workload placing programs check /proc/meminfo to estimate how much free memory is available. They generally do this by adding up "free" and "cached", which was fine ten years ago, but is pretty much guaranteed to be wrong today. It is wrong because Cached includes memory that is not freeable as page cache, for example shared memory segments, tmpfs, and ramfs, and it does not include reclaimable slab memory, which can take up a large fraction of system memory on mostly idle systems with lots of files. Currently, the amount of memory that is available for a new workload, without pushing the system into swap, can be estimated from MemFree, Active(file), Inactive(file), and SReclaimable, as well as the "low" watermarks from /proc/zoneinfo. However, this may change in the future, and user space really should not be expected to know kernel internals to come up with an estimate for the amount of free memory. It is more convenient to provide such an estimate in /proc/meminfo. If things change in the future, we only have to change it in one place.

This makes all of a machine's memory accessible to remote debugging via FireWire, using the physical response unit (i.e. RDMA) of OHCI-1394 link layer controllers. This requires actual support by the controller. The only ones currently known to support it are Agere/LSI FW643. Most if not all other OHCI-1394 controllers do not implement the optional Physical Upper Bound register. With them, RDMA will continue to be limited to the lowermost 4 GB. firewire-ohci's startup message in the kernel log is augmented to tell whether the controller does expose more than 4 GB to RDMA. While OHCI-1394 allows for a maximum Physical Upper Bound of 0xffff'0000'0000 (near 256 TB), this implementation sets it to 0x8000'0000'0000 (128 TB) in order to avoid interference with applications that require interrupt-served asynchronous request reception at respectively low addresses. Note, this change does not switch remote DMA on. It only increases the range of remote access to all memory (instead of just 4 GB) whenever remote DMA was switched on by other means. The latter is achieved by setting firewire-ohci's remote_dma parameter, or if the physical DMA filter is opened through firewire-sbp2. Derived from patch "firewire: Enable physical DMA above 4GB" by Peter Hurley <peter@hurleysoftware.com> from March 27, 2013. Signed-off-by: NStefan Richter <stefanr@s5r6.in-berlin.de>
