Impact: cleanup Move the symbols delimiting a section part of the section (section relative) rather than absolute. This avoids any unexpected gaps between the section-start symbol and the first data in the section, which could be caused by implicit alignment of the section data. It also makes the general form of vmlinux_64.lds.S consistent with vmlinux_32.lds.S.

Impact: obsolete feature removal The zImage kernel format has been functionally unused for a very long time. It is just barely possible to build a modern kernel that still fits within the zImage size limit, but it is highly unlikely that anyone ever uses it. Furthermore, although it is still supported by most bootloaders, it has been at best poorly tested (or not tested at all); some bootloaders are even known to not support zImage at all and not having even noticed. Also remove some really obsolete constants that no longer have any meaning. LKML-Reference: <49B703D4.1000008@zytor.com> Signed-off-by: NH. Peter Anvin <hpa@zytor.com>

Impact: cleanup, more flexibility for first chunk init Non-negative @dyn_size used to be allowed iff @unit_size wasn't auto. This restriction stemmed from implementation detail and made things a bit less intuitive. This patch allows @dyn_size to be specified regardless of @unit_size and swaps the positions of @dyn_size and @unit_size so that the parameter order makes more sense (static, reserved and dyn sizes followed by enclosing unit_size).

This reverts commit e088e4c9. Removing the sysfs interface for p4-clockmod was flagged as a regression in bug 12826. Course of action: - Find out the remaining causes of overheating, and fix them if possible. ACPI should be doing the right thing automatically. If it isn't, we need to fix that. - mark p4-clockmod ui as deprecated - try again with the removal in six months. It's not really feasible to printk about the deprecation, because it needs to happen at all the sysfs entry points, which means adding a lot of strcmp("p4-clockmod".. calls to the core, which.. bleuch.

We can get around this by mugging the family ID part of the cpuid. 5 seems like a good number. Of course, this is a hack (how very lguest!). We could just indicate that we don't support MSRs, or implement lguest_rdmst.

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.

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.

In uv_flush_tlb_others() (arch/x86/kernel/tlb_uv.c), the "WARN_ON(!in_atomic())" fails if CONFIG_PREEMPT is not enabled. And CONFIG_PREEMPT is not enabled by default in the distribution that most UV owners will use. We could #ifdef CONFIG_PREEMPT the warning, but that is not good form. And there seems to be no suitable fix to in_atomic() when CONFIG_PREMPT is not on. As Ingo commented: > and we have no proper primitive to test for atomicity. (mainly > because we dont know about atomicity on a non-preempt kernel) So we drop the WARN_ON.

Impact: fix relocation overflow during module load x86_64 uses 32bit relocations for symbol access and static percpu symbols whether in core or modules must be inside 2GB of the percpu segement base which the dynamic percpu allocator doesn't guarantee. This patch makes x86_64 reserve PERCPU_MODULE_RESERVE bytes in the first chunk so that module percpu areas are always allocated from the first chunk which is always inside the relocatable range. This problem exists for any percpu allocator but is easily triggered when using the embedding allocator because the second chunk is located beyond 2GB on it. This patch also changes the meaning of PERCPU_DYNAMIC_RESERVE such that it only indicates the size of the area to reserve for dynamic allocation as static and dynamic areas can be separate. New PERCPU_DYNAMIC_RESERVED is increased by 4k for both 32 and 64bits as the reserved area separation eats away some allocatable space and having slightly more headroom (currently between 4 and 8k after minimal boot sans module area) makes sense for common case performance. x86_32 can address anywhere from anywhere and doesn't need reserving. Mike Galbraith first reported the problem first and bisected it to the embedding percpu allocator commit.

Impact: add reserved allocation functionality and use it for module percpu variables This patch implements reserved allocation from the first chunk. When setting up the first chunk, arch can ask to set aside certain number of bytes right after the core static area which is available only through a separate reserved allocator. This will be used primarily for module static percpu variables on architectures with limited relocation range to ensure that the module perpcu symbols are inside the relocatable range. If reserved area is requested, the first chunk becomes reserved and isn't available for regular allocation. If the first chunk also includes piggy-back dynamic allocation area, a separate chunk mapping the same region is created to serve dynamic allocation. The first one is called static first chunk and the second dynamic first chunk. Although they share the page map, their different area map initializations guarantee they serve disjoint areas according to their purposes. If arch doesn't setup reserved area, reserved allocation is handled like any other allocation. Signed-off-by: NTejun Heo <tj@kernel.org>

Impact: reduce unnecessary memory usage on certain configurations Embedding percpu allocator allocates unit_size * smp_num_possible_cpus() bytes consecutively and use it for the first chunk. However, if the static area is small, this can result in excessive prellocated free space in the first chunk due to PCPU_MIN_UNIT_SIZE restriction. This patch makes embedding percpu allocator preallocate only what's necessary as described by PERPCU_DYNAMIC_RESERVE and return the leftover to the bootmem allocator.
