      x86, mirror: x86 enabling - find mirrored memory ranges · b05b9f5f
      Tony Luck 提交于
      UEFI GetMemoryMap() uses a new attribute bit to mark mirrored memory
      address ranges.  See UEFI 2.5 spec pages 157-158:
      
        http://www.uefi.org/sites/default/files/resources/UEFI%202_5.pdf
      
      On EFI enabled systems scan the memory map and tell memblock about any
      mirrored ranges.

      mm/memblock: add extra "flags" to memblock to allow selection of memory based on attribute · fc6daaf9
      Tony Luck 提交于
      Some high end Intel Xeon systems report uncorrectable memory errors as a
      recoverable machine check.  Linux has included code for some time to
      process these and just signal the affected processes (or even recover
      completely if the error was in a read only page that can be replaced by
      reading from disk).
      
      But we have no recovery path for errors encountered during kernel code
      execution.  Except for some very specific cases were are unlikely to ever
      be able to recover.
      
      Enter memory mirroring. Actually 3rd generation of memory mirroing.
      
      Gen1: All memory is mirrored
      	Pro: No s/w enabling - h/w just gets good data from other side of the
      	     mirror
      	Con: Halves effective memory capacity available to OS/applications
      
      Gen2: Partial memory mirror - just mirror memory begind some memory controllers
      	Pro: Keep more of the capacity
      	Con: Nightmare to enable. Have to choose between allocating from
      	     mirrored memory for safety vs. NUMA local memory for performance
      
      Gen3: Address range partial memory mirror - some mirror on each memory
            controller
      	Pro: Can tune the amount of mirror and keep NUMA performance
      	Con: I have to write memory management code to implement
      
      The current plan is just to use mirrored memory for kernel allocations.
      This has been broken into two phases:
      
      1) This patch series - find the mirrored memory, use it for boot time
         allocations
      
      2) Wade into mm/page_alloc.c and define a ZONE_MIRROR to pick up the
         unused mirrored memory from mm/memblock.c and only give it out to
         select kernel allocations (this is still being scoped because
         page_alloc.c is scary).
      
      This patch (of 3):
      
      Add extra "flags" to memblock to allow selection of memory based on
      attribute.  No functional changes

      mm: clarify that the function operates on hugepage pte · 8809aa2d
      Aneesh Kumar K.V 提交于
      We have confusing functions to clear pmd, pmd_clear_* and pmd_clear.  Add
      _huge_ to pmdp_clear functions so that we are clear that they operate on
      hugepage pte.
      
      We don't bother about other functions like pmdp_set_wrprotect,
      pmdp_clear_flush_young, because they operate on PTE bits and hence
      indicate they are operating on hugepage ptes

      mm: new mm hook framework · 2ae416b1
      Laurent Dufour 提交于
      CRIU is recreating the process memory layout by remapping the checkpointee
      memory area on top of the current process (criu).  This includes remapping
      the vDSO to the place it has at checkpoint time.
      
      However some architectures like powerpc are keeping a reference to the
      vDSO base address to build the signal return stack frame by calling the
      vDSO sigreturn service.  So once the vDSO has been moved, this reference
      is no more valid and the signal frame built later are not usable.
      
      This patch serie is introducing a new mm hook framework, and a new
      arch_remap hook which is called when mremap is done and the mm lock still
      hold.  The next patch is adding the vDSO remap and unmap tracking to the
      powerpc architecture.
      
      This patch (of 3):
      
      This patch introduces a new set of header file to manage mm hooks:
      - per architecture empty header file (arch/x/include/asm/mm-arch-hooks.h)
      - a generic header (include/linux/mm-arch-hooks.h)
      
      The architecture which need to overwrite a hook as to redefine it in its
      header file, while architecture which doesn't need have nothing to do.
      
      The default hooks are defined in the generic header and are used in the
      case the architecture is not defining it.
      
      In a next step, mm hooks defined in include/asm-generic/mm_hooks.h should
      be moved here.
