This patch converts the x86_cpu_to_apicid array to be a per cpu variable. This saves sizeof(apicid) * NR unused cpus. Access is mostly from startup and CPU HOTPLUG functions. MP_processor_info() is one of the functions that require access to the x86_cpu_to_apicid array before the per_cpu data area is setup. For this case, a pointer to the __initdata array is initialized in setup_arch() and removed in smp_prepare_cpus() after the per_cpu data area is initialized. A second change is included to change the initial array value of ARCH i386 from 0xff to BAD_APICID to be consistent with ARCH x86_64.

While we were reviewing pageattr_32/64.c for unification, Thomas Gleixner noticed the following serious SMP bug in global_flush_tlb(): down_read(&init_mm.mmap_sem); list_replace_init(&deferred_pages, &l); up_read(&init_mm.mmap_sem); this is SMP-unsafe because list_replace_init() done on two CPUs in parallel can corrupt the list. This bug has been introduced about a year ago in the 64-bit tree: commit ea7322de Author: Andi Kleen <ak@suse.de> Date: Thu Dec 7 02:14:05 2006 +0100 [PATCH] x86-64: Speed and clean up cache flushing in change_page_attr down_read(&init_mm.mmap_sem); - dpage = xchg(&deferred_pages, NULL); + list_replace_init(&deferred_pages, &l); up_read(&init_mm.mmap_sem); the xchg() based version was SMP-safe, but list_replace_init() is not. So this "cleanup" introduced a nasty bug. why this bug never become prominent is a mystery - it can probably be explained with the (still) relative obscurity of the x86_64 architecture. the safe fix for now is to write-lock init_mm.mmap_sem.

In x86_64 and i386 architectures most arrays that are sized using NR_CPUS lay in local memory on node 0. Not only will most (99%?) of the systems not use all the slots in these arrays, particularly when NR_CPUS is increased to accommodate future very high cpu count systems, but a number of cache lines are passed unnecessarily on the system bus when these arrays are referenced by cpus on other nodes. Typically, the values in these arrays are referenced by the cpu accessing it's own values, though when passing IPI interrupts, the cpu does access the data relevant to the targeted cpu/node. Of course, if the referencing cpu is not on node 0, then the reference will still require cross node exchanges of cache lines. A common use of this is for an interrupt service routine to pass the interrupt to other cpus local to that node. Ideally, all the elements in these arrays should be moved to the per_cpu data area. In some cases (such as x86_cpu_to_apicid) the array is referenced before the per_cpu data areas are setup. In this case, a static array is declared in the __initdata area and initialized by the booting cpu (BSP). The values are then moved to the per_cpu area after it is initialized and the original static array is freed with the rest of the __initdata. This patch: Fix four instances where cpu_to_node is referenced by array instead of via the cpu_to_node macro. This is preparation to moving it to the per_cpu data area.

This patch fixes a bug of change_page_attr/change_page_attr_addr on Intel x86_64 CPUs. After changing page attribute to be executable with these functions, the page remains un-executable on Intel x86_64 CPU. Because on Intel x86_64 CPU, only if the "NX" bits of all four level page tables are cleared, the corresponding page is executable (refer to section 4.13.2 of Intel 64 and IA-32 Architectures Software Developer's Manual). So, the bug is fixed through clearing the "NX" bit of PMD when splitting the huge PMD.

if CONFIG_PAGEALLOC is enabled then X86_FEATURE_PSE is disabled and all the kernel physical RAM pagetables are set up as 4K pages. This is needed so that CONFIG_PAGEALLOC can do finegrained mapping and unmapping of pages. as a side-effect though, the total size of memory allocated as kernel pagetables increases significantly. All these pagetables are allocated via alloc_bootmem_low_pages(), straight out of the lowmem DMA pool. If the system has enough RAM and a large kernel image then almost all of the 16 MB lowmem DMA pool is allocated to the image and to pagetables - leaving no space for __GFP_DMA allocations. this results in drivers failing and the bootup hanging: swapper invoked oom-killer: gfp_mask=0x80d1, order=0, oomkilladj=0 [<4015059f>] out_of_memory+0x17f/0x1c0 [<40151f3c>] __alloc_pages+0x37c/0x3a0 [<40168cd7>] slob_new_page+0x37/0x50 [<40168dff>] slob_alloc+0x10f/0x190 [<40169010>] __kmalloc_node+0x80/0x90 [<405a17e3>] scsi_host_alloc+0x33/0x2c0 [<405a1a82>] scsi_register+0x12/0x60 [<40d5889e>] aha1542_detect+0x9e/0x940 [<405c5ba5>] ultrastor_detect+0x265/0x5f0 [<401352f5>] getnstimeofday+0x35/0xf0 [<40d58751>] init_this_scsi_driver+0x41/0xf0 [<40d0b856>] kernel_init+0x136/0x310 [<40d58710>] init_this_scsi_driver+0x0/0xf0 [<40d0b720>] kernel_init+0x0/0x310 [<40105547>] kernel_thread_helper+0x7/0x10 ======================= the fix is to first allocate from above the DMA pool, and if that fails (for example due to it being a machine with less than 16 MB of RAM), allocate from the DMA pool as a fallback.

One more of these issues (which were considered fixed a few releases back): other than on x86-64, i386 allows set_fixmap() to replace already present mappings. Consequently, on PAE, care must be taken to not update the high half of a pte while the low half is still holding the old value.

We have had complaints where a threaded application is left in a bad state after one of it's threads is killed when we hit a VM: out_of_memory condition. Killing just one of the process threads can leave the application in a bad state, whereas killing the entire process group would allow for the application to restart, or be otherwise handled, and makes it very obvious that something has gone wrong. This change allows the entire process group to be taken down, rather than just the one thread.

x86_64 uses 2M page table entries to map its 1-1 kernel space. We also implement the virtual memmap using 2M page table entries. So there is no additional runtime overhead over FLATMEM, initialisation is slightly more complex. As FLATMEM still references memory to obtain the mem_map pointer and SPARSEMEM_VMEMMAP uses a compile time constant, SPARSEMEM_VMEMMAP should be superior. With this SPARSEMEM becomes the most efficient way of handling virt_to_page, pfn_to_page and friends for UP, SMP and NUMA on x86_64.

x86(-64) are the last architectures still using the page fault notifier cruft for the kprobes page fault hook. This patch converts them to the proper direct calls, and removes the now unused pagefault notifier bits aswell as the cruft in kprobes.c that was related to this mess. I know Andi didn't really like this, but all other architecture maintainers agreed the direct calls are much better and besides the obvious cruft removal a common way of dealing with kprobes across architectures is important aswell.
