The virtually mapped percpu space causes us two problems: - for hypercalls which take an mfn, we need to do a full pagetable walk to convert the percpu va into an mfn, and - when a hypercall requires a page to be mapped RO via all its aliases, we need to make sure its RO in both the percpu mapping and in the linear mapping This primarily affects the gdt and the vcpu info structure.

Impact: fix new breakages introduced by previous fix Commit c1329375 tried to clean up bootmem arch wrapper but it wasn't quite correct. Before the commit, the followings were broken. * Low level interface functions prefixed with __ ignored arch preference. * reserve_bootmem(...) can't be mapped into reserve_bootmem_node(NODE_DATA(0)->bdata, ...) because the node is not preference here. The region specified MUST fall into the specified region; otherwise, it will panic. After the commit, * If allocation fails for the arch preferred node, it should fallback to whatever is available. Instead, it simply failed allocation. There are too many internal details to allow generic wrapping and still keep things simple for archs. Plus, all that arch wants is a way to prefer certain node over another. This patch drops the generic wrapping around alloc_bootmem_core() and add alloc_bootmem_core() instead. If necessary, arch can define bootmem_arch_referred_node() macro or function which takes all allocation information and returns the preferred node. bootmem generic code will always try the preferred node first and then fallback to other nodes as usual. Breakages noted and changes reviewed by Johannes Weiner. Signed-off-by: NTejun Heo <tj@kernel.org> Acked-by: NJohannes Weiner <hannes@cmpxchg.org>

While the introduction of __copy_from_user_nocache (see commit: 0812a579) may have been an improvement for sufficiently large writes, there is evidence to show that it is deterimental for small writes. Unixbench's fstime test gives the following results for 256 byte writes with MAX_BLOCK of 2000: 2.6.29-rc6 ( 5 samples, each in KB/sec ): 283750, 295200, 294500, 293000, 293300 2.6.29-rc6 + this patch (5 samples, each in KB/sec): 313050, 3106750, 293350, 306300, 307900 2.6.18 395700, 342000, 399100, 366050, 359850 See w_test() in src/fstime.c in unixbench version 4.1.0. Basically, the above test consists of counting how much we can write in this manner: alarm(10); while (!sigalarm) { for (f_blocks = 0; f_blocks < 2000; ++f_blocks) { write(f, buf, 256); } lseek(f, 0L, 0); } Note, there are other components to the write syscall regression that are not addressed here.

Impact: add better first percpu allocation for NUMA On NUMA, embedding allocator can't be used as different units can't be made to fall in the correct NUMA nodes. To use large page mapping, each unit needs to be remapped. However, percpu areas are usually much smaller than large page size and unused space hurts a lot as the number of cpus grow. This allocator remaps large pages for each chunk but gives back unused part to the bootmem allocator making the large pages mapped twice. This adds slightly to the TLB pressure but is much better than using 4k mappings while still being NUMA-friendly. Ingo suggested that this would be the correct approach for NUMA.

Impact: add better first percpu allocation for !NUMA On !NUMA, we can simply allocate contiguous memory and use it for the first chunk without mapping it into vmalloc area. As the memory area is covered by the large page physical memory mapping, it allows the dynamic perpcu allocator to not add any TLB overhead for the static percpu area and whatever falls into the first chunk and the implementation is very simple too.

Impact: more latitude for first percpu chunk allocation The first percpu chunk serves the kernel static percpu area and may or may not contain extra room for further dynamic allocation. Initialization of the first chunk needs to be done before normal memory allocation service is up, so it has its own init path - pcpu_setup_static(). It seems archs need more latitude while initializing the first chunk for example to take advantage of large page mapping. This patch makes the following changes to allow this. * Define PERCPU_DYNAMIC_RESERVE to give arch hint about how much space to reserve in the first chunk for further dynamic allocation. * Rename pcpu_setup_static() to pcpu_setup_first_chunk(). * Make pcpu_setup_first_chunk() much more flexible by fetching page pointer by callback and adding optional @unit_size, @free_size and @base_addr arguments which allow archs to selectively part of chunk initialization to their likings.

Impact: allow unit_size to be arbitrary multiple of PAGE_SIZE In dynamic percpu allocator, there is no reason the unit size should be power of two. Remove the restriction. As non-power-of-two unit size means that empty chunks fall into the same slot index as lightly occupied chunks which is bad for reclaming. Reserve an extra slot for empty chunks.

Impact: cleaner and consistent bootmem wrapping By setting CONFIG_HAVE_ARCH_BOOTMEM_NODE, archs can define arch-specific wrappers for bootmem allocation. However, this is done a bit strangely in that only the high level convenience macros can be changed while lower level, but still exported, interface functions can't be wrapped. This not only is messy but also leads to strange situation where alloc_bootmem() does what the arch wants it to do but the equivalent __alloc_bootmem() call doesn't although they should be able to be used interchangeably. This patch updates bootmem such that archs can override / wrap the backend function - alloc_bootmem_core() instead of the highlevel interface functions to allow simpler and consistent wrapping. Also, HAVE_ARCH_BOOTMEM_NODE is renamed to HAVE_ARCH_BOOTMEM. Signed-off-by: NTejun Heo <tj@kernel.org> Cc: Johannes Weiner <hannes@saeurebad.de>

Impact: Cleanup Checkin be44d2aa eliminates the use of a 16-bit stack for espfix. However, at least one instruction remained that only operated on the low 16 bits of %esp. This is not a bug per se because the kernel stack is always an aligned 4K or 8K block. Therefore it cannot cross 64K boundaries; this code, in fact, relies strictly on that fact. However, it's a lot cleaner (and, for that matter, smaller) to operate on the entire 32-bit register.

The BIOS will probably be changed to be compatible with older Linus versions, but nevertheless the MP-spec does not forbid an MP-table in arbitrary system RAM, so make sure it all works even if the table is in an unexpected place.
