      bootmem/sparsemem: remove limit constraint in alloc_bootmem_section · f5bf18fa
      Nishanth Aravamudan 提交于
      While testing AMS (Active Memory Sharing) / CMO (Cooperative Memory
      Overcommit) on powerpc, we tripped the following:
      
        kernel BUG at mm/bootmem.c:483!

      This is
      
              BUG_ON(limit && goal + size > limit);
      
      and after some debugging, it seems that
      
      	goal = 0x7ffff000000
      	limit = 0x80000000000
      
      and sparse_early_usemaps_alloc_node ->
      sparse_early_usemaps_alloc_pgdat_section calls
      
      	return alloc_bootmem_section(usemap_size() * count, section_nr);
      
      This is on a system with 8TB available via the AMS pool, and as a quirk
      of AMS in firmware, all of that memory shows up in node 0.  So, we end
      up with an allocation that will fail the goal/limit constraints.
      
      In theory, we could "fall-back" to alloc_bootmem_node() in
      sparse_early_usemaps_alloc_node(), but since we actually have HOTREMOVE
      defined, we'll BUG_ON() instead.  A simple solution appears to be to
      unconditionally remove the limit condition in alloc_bootmem_section,
      meaning allocations are allowed to cross section boundaries (necessary
      for systems of this size).
      
      Johannes Weiner pointed out that if alloc_bootmem_section() no longer
      guarantees section-locality, we need check_usemap_section_nr() to print
      possible cross-dependencies between node descriptors and the usemaps
      allocated through it.  That makes the two loops in
      sparse_early_usemaps_alloc_node() identical, so re-factor the code a
      bit.

      crash_dump: export is_kdump_kernel to modules, consolidate elfcorehdr_addr,... · 93a72052
      Olaf Hering 提交于
      crash_dump: export is_kdump_kernel to modules, consolidate elfcorehdr_addr, setup_elfcorehdr and saved_max_pfn
      
      The Xen PV drivers in a crashed HVM guest can not connect to the dom0
      backend drivers because both frontend and backend drivers are still in
      connected state.  To run the connection reset function only in case of a
      crashdump, the is_kdump_kernel() function needs to be available for the PV
      driver modules.
      
      Consolidate elfcorehdr_addr, setup_elfcorehdr and saved_max_pfn into
      kernel/crash_dump.c Also export elfcorehdr_addr to make is_kdump_kernel()
      usable for modules.
      
      Leave 'elfcorehdr' as early_param().  This changes powerpc from __setup()
      to early_param().  It adds an address range check from x86 also on ia64
      and powerpc.

      bootmem: Move contig_page_data definition to bootmem.c/nobootmem.c · e782ab42
      Yinghai Lu 提交于
      Now that bootmem.c and nobootmem.c are separate, it's cleaner to
      define contig_page_data in each file than in page_alloc.c with #ifdef.
      Move it.
      
      This patch doesn't introduce any behavior change.

      bootmem: Separate out CONFIG_NO_BOOTMEM code into nobootmem.c · 09325873
      Yinghai Lu 提交于
      mm/bootmem.c contained code paths for both bootmem and no bootmem
      configurations.  They implement about the same set of APIs in
      different ways and as a result bootmem.c contains massive amount of
      #ifdef CONFIG_NO_BOOTMEM.
      
      Separate out CONFIG_NO_BOOTMEM code into mm/nobootmem.c.  As the
      common part is relatively small, duplicate them in nobootmem.c instead
      of creating a common file or ifdef'ing in bootmem.c.
      
      The followings are duplicated.
      
      * {min|max}_low_pfn, max_pfn, saved_max_pfn
      * free_bootmem_late()
      * ___alloc_bootmem()
      * __alloc_bootmem_low()
      
      The followings are applicable only to nobootmem and moved verbatim.
      
      * __free_pages_memory()
      * free_all_memory_core_early()
      
      The followings are not applicable to nobootmem and omitted in
      nobootmem.c.
      
      * reserve_bootmem_node()
      * reserve_bootmem()
      
      The rest split function bodies according to CONFIG_NO_BOOTMEM.
      
      Makefile is updated so that only either bootmem.c or nobootmem.c is
      built according to CONFIG_NO_BOOTMEM.
      
      This patch doesn't introduce any behavior change.

      1. replace find_e820_area with memblock_find_in_range
      2. replace reserve_early with memblock_x86_reserve_range
      3. replace free_early with memblock_x86_free_range.
      4. NO_BOOTMEM will switch to use memblock too.
      5. use _e820, _early wrap in the patch, in following patch, will
         replace them all
      6. because memblock_x86_free_range support partial free, we can remove some special care
      7. Need to make sure that memblock_find_in_range() is called after memblock_x86_fill()
         so adjust some calling later in setup.c::setup_arch()
         -- corruption_check and mptable_update
      
      -v2: Move reserve_brk() early
          Before fill_memblock_area, to avoid overlap between brk and memblock_find_in_range()
          that could happen We have more then 128 RAM entry in E820 tables, and
          memblock_x86_fill() could use memblock_find_in_range() to find a new place for
          memblock.memory.region array.
          and We don't need to use extend_brk() after fill_memblock_area()
          So move reserve_brk() early before fill_memblock_area().
      -v3: Move find_smp_config early
          To make sure memblock_find_in_range not find wrong place, if BIOS doesn't put mptable
          in right place.
      -v4: Treat RESERVED_KERN as RAM in memblock.memory. and they are already in
          memblock.reserved already..
          use __NOT_KEEP_MEMBLOCK to make sure memblock related code could be freed later.
      -v5: Generic version __memblock_find_in_range() is going from high to low, and for 32bit
          active_region for 32bit does include high pages
          need to replace the limit with memblock.default_alloc_limit, aka get_max_mapped()

      include cleanup: Update gfp.h and slab.h includes to prepare for breaking implicit slab.h inclusion from percpu.h
      
      percpu.h is included by sched.h and module.h and thus ends up being
      included when building most .c files.  percpu.h includes slab.h which
      in turn includes gfp.h making everything defined by the two files
      universally available and complicating inclusion dependencies.
      
      percpu.h -> slab.h dependency is about to be removed.  Prepare for
      this change by updating users of gfp and slab facilities include those
      headers directly instead of assuming availability.  As this conversion
      needs to touch large number of source files, the following script is
      used as the basis of conversion.
      
        http://userweb.kernel.org/~tj/misc/slabh-sweep.py
      
      The script does the followings.
      
      * Scan files for gfp and slab usages and update includes such that
        only the necessary includes are there.  ie. if only gfp is used,
        gfp.h, if slab is used, slab.h.
      
      * When the script inserts a new include, it looks at the include
        blocks and try to put the new include such that its order conforms
        to its surrounding.  It's put in the include block which contains
        core kernel includes, in the same order that the rest are ordered -
        alphabetical, Christmas tree, rev-Xmas-tree or at the end if there
        doesn't seem to be any matching order.
      
      * If the script can't find a place to put a new include (mostly
        because the file doesn't have fitting include block), it prints out
        an error message indicating which .h file needs to be added to the
        file.
      
      The conversion was done in the following steps.
      
      1. The initial automatic conversion of all .c files updated slightly
         over 4000 files, deleting around 700 includes and adding ~480 gfp.h
         and ~3000 slab.h inclusions.  The script emitted errors for ~400
         files.
      
      2. Each error was manually checked.  Some didn't need the inclusion,
         some needed manual addition while adding it to implementation .h or
         embedding .c file was more appropriate for others.  This step added
         inclusions to around 150 files.
      
      3. The script was run again and the output was compared to the edits
         from #2 to make sure no file was left behind.
      
      4. Several build tests were done and a couple of problems were fixed.
         e.g. lib/decompress_*.c used malloc/free() wrappers around slab
         APIs requiring slab.h to be added manually.
      
      5. The script was run on all .h files but without automatically
         editing them as sprinkling gfp.h and slab.h inclusions around .h
         files could easily lead to inclusion dependency hell.  Most gfp.h
         inclusion directives were ignored as stuff from gfp.h was usually
         wildly available and often used in preprocessor macros.  Each
         slab.h inclusion directive was examined and added manually as
         necessary.
      
      6. percpu.h was updated not to include slab.h.
      
      7. Build test were done on the following configurations and failures
         were fixed.  CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL was turned off for all tests (as my
         distributed build env didn't work with gcov compiles) and a few
         more options had to be turned off depending on archs to make things
         build (like ipr on powerpc/64 which failed due to missing writeq).
      
         * x86 and x86_64 UP and SMP allmodconfig and a custom test config.
         * powerpc and powerpc64 SMP allmodconfig
         * sparc and sparc64 SMP allmodconfig
         * ia64 SMP allmodconfig
         * s390 SMP allmodconfig
         * alpha SMP allmodconfig
         * um on x86_64 SMP allmodconfig
      
      8. percpu.h modifications were reverted so that it could be applied as
         a separate patch and serve as bisection point.
      
      Given the fact that I had only a couple of failures from tests on step
      6, I'm fairly confident about the coverage of this conversion patch.
      If there is a breakage, it's likely to be something in one of the arch
      headers which should be easily discoverable easily on most builds of
      the specific arch.

      x86: Remove excessive early_res debug output · c26f91a3
      Jiri Kosina 提交于
      Commit 08677214 ("x86: Make 64 bit use early_res instead
      of bootmem  before slab") introduced early_res replacement for
      bootmem, but left code  in __free_pages_memory() which dumps all
      the ranges that are beeing freed,  without any additional
      information, causing some noise in dmesg during  bootup.
      
      Just remove printing of the ranges, that doesn't provide
      anything useful  anyway.
      
      While at it, remove other commented-out KERN_DEBUG messages in
      the NO_BOOTMEM code as well.

      bootmem: Add free_bootmem_late() · 9f993ac3
      FUJITA Tomonori 提交于
      Add a new function for freeing bootmem after the bootmem
      allocator has been released and the unreserved pages given to
      the page allocator.
      
      This allows us to reserve bootmem and then release it if we
      later discover it was not needed.
      
      ( This new API will be used by the swiotlb code to recover
        a significant amount of RAM (64MB). )

      bootmem, x86: further fixes for arch-specific bootmem wrapping · d0c4f570
      Tejun Heo 提交于
      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.

      bootmem: clean up arch-specific bootmem wrapping · c1329375
      Tejun Heo 提交于
      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.

      bootmem allocator: alloc_bootmem_core(): page-align the end offset · 627240aa
      Mikulas Patocka 提交于
      This is the minimal sequence that jams the allocator:
      
      void *p, *q, *r;
      p = alloc_bootmem(PAGE_SIZE);
      q = alloc_bootmem(64);
      free_bootmem(p, PAGE_SIZE);
      p = alloc_bootmem(PAGE_SIZE);
      r = alloc_bootmem(64);
      
      after this sequence (assuming that the allocator was empty or page-aligned
      before), pointer "q" will be equal to pointer "r".
      
      What's hapenning inside the allocator:
      p = alloc_bootmem(PAGE_SIZE);
      in allocator: last_end_off == PAGE_SIZE, bitmap contains bits 10000...
      q = alloc_bootmem(64);
      in allocator: last_end_off == PAGE_SIZE + 64, bitmap contains 11000...
      free_bootmem(p, PAGE_SIZE);
      in allocator: last_end_off == PAGE_SIZE + 64, bitmap contains 01000...
      p = alloc_bootmem(PAGE_SIZE);
      in allocator: last_end_off == PAGE_SIZE, bitmap contains 11000...
      r = alloc_bootmem(64);
      
      and now:
      
      it finds bit "2", as a place where to allocate (sidx)
      
      it hits the condition
      
      if (bdata->last_end_off && PFN_DOWN(bdata->last_end_off) + 1 == sidx))
      start_off = ALIGN(bdata->last_end_off, align);
      
      -you can see that the condition is true, so it assigns start_off =
      ALIGN(bdata->last_end_off, align); (that is PAGE_SIZE) and allocates
      over already allocated block.
      
      With the patch it tries to continue at the end of previous allocation only
      if the previous allocation ended in the middle of the page.
