      Rusty Russell 提交于
      Impact: cleanup, reduce memory usage for CONFIG_CPUMASK_OFFSTACK=y
      
      Part of the "getting rid of obsolete cpumask_t" patch:
      
       1) Use cpumask_var_t: this is a pointer if CONFIG_CPUMASK_OFFSTACK=y
       2) Call alloc_cpumask_var() on first entry into enter_uniprocessor()
       3) Use modern cpumask_* functions.

      x86: add x2apic_wrmsr_fence() to x2apic flush tlb paths · ce4e240c
      Suresh Siddha 提交于
      Impact: optimize APIC IPI related barriers
      
      Uncached MMIO accesses for xapic are inherently serializing and hence
      we don't need explicit barriers for xapic IPI paths.
      
      x2apic MSR writes/reads don't have serializing semantics and hence need
      a serializing instruction or mfence, to make all the previous memory
      stores globally visisble before the x2apic msr write for IPI.
      
      Add x2apic_wrmsr_fence() in flush tlb path to x2apic specific paths.

      x86: add brk allocation for very, very early allocations · 93dbda7c
      Jeremy Fitzhardinge 提交于
      Impact: new interface
      
      Add a brk()-like allocator which effectively extends the bss in order
      to allow very early code to do dynamic allocations.  This is better than
      using statically allocated arrays for data in subsystems which may never
      get used.
      
      The space for brk allocations is in the bss ELF segment, so that the
      space is mapped properly by the code which maps the kernel, and so
      that bootloaders keep the space free rather than putting a ramdisk or
      something into it.
      
      The bss itself, delimited by __bss_stop, ends before the brk area
      (__brk_base to __brk_limit).  The kernel text, data and bss is reserved
      up to __bss_stop.
      
      Any brk-allocated data is reserved separately just before the kernel
      pagetable is built, as that code allocates from unreserved spaces
      in the e820 map, potentially allocating from any unused brk memory.
      Ultimately any unused memory in the brk area is used in the general
      kernel memory pool.
      
      Initially the brk space is set to 1MB, which is probably much larger
      than any user needs (the largest current user is i386 head_32.S's code
      to build the pagetables to map the kernel, which can get fairly large
      with a big kernel image and no PSE support).  So long as the system
      has sufficient memory for the bootloader to reserve the kernel+1MB brk,
      there are no bad effects resulting from an over-large brk.

      x86-32: make sure virt_addr_valid() returns false for fixmap addresses · 0feca851
      Jeremy Fitzhardinge 提交于
      I found that virt_addr_valid() was returning true for fixmap addresses.
      
      I'm not sure whether pfn_valid() is supposed to include this test,
      but there's no harm in being explicit.

      x86 mmiotrace: fix remove_kmmio_fault_pages() · d0fc63f7
      Stuart Bennett 提交于
      Impact: fix race+crash in mmiotrace
      
      The list manipulation in remove_kmmio_fault_pages() was broken. If more
      than one consecutive kmmio_fault_page was re-added during the grace
      period between unregister_kmmio_probe() and remove_kmmio_fault_pages(),
      the list manipulation failed to remove pages from the release list.
      
      After a second grace period the pages get into rcu_free_kmmio_fault_pages()
      and raise a BUG_ON() kernel crash.
      
      The list manipulation is fixed to properly remove pages from the release
      list.
      
      This bug has been present from the very beginning of mmiotrace in the
      mainline kernel. It was introduced in 0fd0e3da ("x86: mmiotrace full
      patch, preview 1");
      
      An urgent fix for Linus. Tested by Stuart (on 32-bit) and Pekka
      (on amd and intel 64-bit systems, nouveau and nvidia proprietary).

      Ingo found there warning about nodeid with some configs.
      
      try to use for_each_online_node for non numa too. in that case
      nodeid will be 0.
      
      also move out boundary checking from setup_node_bootmem(), so
      non-numa config will not check it.

      x86: don't define __this_fixmap_does_not_exist() · 8827247f
      Wang Chen 提交于
      Impact: improve out-of-range fixmap index debugging
      
      Commit "1b42f516"
      defined the __this_fixmap_does_not_exist() function
      with a WARN_ON(1) in it.
      
      This causes the linker to not report an error when
      __this_fixmap_does_not_exist() is called with a
      non-constant parameter.
      
      Ingo defined __this_fixmap_does_not_exist() because he
      wanted to get virt addresses of fix memory of nest level
      by non-constant index.
      
      But we can fix this and still keep the link-time check:
      
      We can get the four slot virt addresses on link time and
      store them to array slot_virt[].
      
      Then we can then refer the slot_virt with non-constant index,
      in the ioremap-leak detection code.
