      mm: numa: Add fault driven placement and migration · cbee9f88
      Peter Zijlstra 提交于
      NOTE: This patch is based on "sched, numa, mm: Add fault driven
      	placement and migration policy" but as it throws away all the policy
      	to just leave a basic foundation I had to drop the signed-offs-by.
      
      This patch creates a bare-bones method for setting PTEs pte_numa in the
      context of the scheduler that when faulted later will be faulted onto the
      node the CPU is running on.  In itself this does nothing useful but any
      placement policy will fundamentally depend on receiving hints on placement
      from fault context and doing something intelligent about it.

      context_tracking: New context tracking susbsystem · 91d1aa43
      Frederic Weisbecker 提交于
      Create a new subsystem that probes on kernel boundaries
      to keep track of the transitions between level contexts
      with two basic initial contexts: user or kernel.
      
      This is an abstraction of some RCU code that use such tracking
      to implement its userspace extended quiescent state.
      
      We need to pull this up from RCU into this new level of indirection
      because this tracking is also going to be used to implement an "on
      demand" generic virtual cputime accounting. A necessary step to
      shutdown the tick while still accounting the cputime.

      x86, topology: Debug CPU0 hotplug · a71c8bc5
      Fenghua Yu 提交于
      CONFIG_DEBUG_HOTPLUG_CPU0 is for debugging the CPU0 hotplug feature. The switch
      offlines CPU0 as soon as possible and boots userspace up with CPU0 offlined.
      User can online CPU0 back after boot time. The default value of the switch is
      off.
      
      To debug CPU0 hotplug, you need to enable CPU0 offline/online feature by either
      turning on CONFIG_BOOTPARAM_HOTPLUG_CPU0 during compilation or giving
      cpu0_hotplug kernel parameter at boot.
      
      It's safe and early place to take down CPU0 after all hotplug notifiers
      are installed and SMP is booted.
      
      Please note that some applications or drivers, e.g. some versions of udevd,
      during boot time may put CPU0 online again in this CPU0 hotplug debug mode.
      
      In this debug mode, setup_local_APIC() may report a warning on max_loops<=0
      when CPU0 is onlined back after boot time. This is because pending interrupt in
      IRR can not move to ISR. The warning is not CPU0 specfic and it can happen on
      other CPUs as well. It is harmless except the first CPU0 online takes a bit
      longer time. And so this debug mode is useful to expose this issue. I'll send
      a seperate patch to fix this generic warning issue.

      x86, Kconfig: Add config switch for CPU0 hotplug · 80aa1dff
      Fenghua Yu 提交于
      New config switch CONFIG_BOOTPARAM_HOTPLUG_CPU0 sets default state of whether
      the CPU0 hotplug is on or off.
      
      If the switch is off, CPU0 is not hotpluggable by default. But the CPU0 hotplug
      feature can still be turned on by kernel parameter cpu0_hotplug at boot.
      
      If the switch is on, CPU0 is always hotpluggable.

      Make most arch asm/module.h files use asm-generic/module.h · 786d35d4
      David Howells 提交于
      Use the mapping of Elf_[SPE]hdr, Elf_Addr, Elf_Sym, Elf_Dyn, Elf_Rel/Rela,
      ELF_R_TYPE() and ELF_R_SYM() to either the 32-bit version or the 64-bit version
      into asm-generic/module.h for all arches bar MIPS.
      
      Also, use the generic definition mod_arch_specific where possible.
      
      To this end, I've defined three new config bools:
      
       (*) HAVE_MOD_ARCH_SPECIFIC
      
           Arches define this if they don't want to use the empty generic
           mod_arch_specific struct.
      
       (*) MODULES_USE_ELF_RELA
      
           Arches define this if their modules can contain RELA records.  This causes
           the Elf_Rela mapping to be emitted and allows apply_relocate_add() to be
           defined by the arch rather than have the core emit an error message.
      
       (*) MODULES_USE_ELF_REL
      
           Arches define this if their modules can contain REL records.  This causes
           the Elf_Rel mapping to be emitted and allows apply_relocate() to be
           defined by the arch rather than have the core emit an error message.
      
      Note that it is possible to allow both REL and RELA records: m68k and mips are
      two arches that do this.
      
      With this, some arch asm/module.h files can be deleted entirely and replaced
      with a generic-y marker in the arch Kbuild file.
      
      Additionally, I have removed the bits from m32r and score that handle the
      unsupported type of relocation record as that's now handled centrally.

      x86: Exit RCU extended QS on notify resume · edf55fda
      Frederic Weisbecker 提交于
      do_notify_resume() may be called on irq or exception
      exit. But at that time the exception has already called
      rcu_user_enter() and the irq has already called rcu_irq_exit().
      
      Since it can use RCU read side critical section, we must call
      rcu_user_exit() before doing anything there. Then we must call
      back rcu_user_enter() after this function because we know we are
      going to userspace from there.
      
      This complete support for userspace RCU extended quiescent state
      in x86-64.

      cputime: Make finegrained irqtime accounting generally available · fdf9c356
      Frederic Weisbecker 提交于
      There is no known reason for this option to be unavailable on other
      archs than x86. They just need to call enable_sched_clock_irqtime()
      if they have a sufficiently finegrained clock to make it working.
      
      Move it to the general option and let the user choose between
      it and pure tick based or virtual cputime accounting.
      
      Note that virtual cputime accounting already performs a finegrained
      irqtime accounting. CONFIG_IRQ_TIME_ACCOUNTING is a kind of middle ground
      between tick and virtual based accounting. So CONFIG_IRQ_TIME_ACCOUNTING
      and CONFIG_VIRT_CPU_ACCOUNTING are mutually exclusive choices.

      perf: Add ability to attach user stack dump to sample · c5ebcedb
      Jiri Olsa 提交于
      Introducing PERF_SAMPLE_STACK_USER sample type bit to trigger the dump
      of the user level stack on sample. The size of the dump is specified by
      sample_stack_user value.
      
      Being able to dump parts of the user stack, starting from the stack
      pointer, will be useful to make a post mortem dwarf CFI based stack
      unwinding.
      
      Added HAVE_PERF_USER_STACK_DUMP config option to determine if the
      architecture provides user stack dump on perf event samples.  This needs
      access to the user stack pointer which is not unified across
      architectures. Enabling this for x86 architecture.

      x86: use generic strncpy_from_user routine · 4ae73f2d
      Linus Torvalds 提交于
      The generic strncpy_from_user() is not really optimal, since it is
      designed to work on both little-endian and big-endian.  And on
      little-endian you can simplify much of the logic to find the first zero
      byte, since little-endian arithmetic doesn't have to worry about the
      carry bit propagating into earlier bytes (only later bytes, which we
      don't care about).
      
      But I have patches to make the generic routines use the architecture-
      specific <asm/word-at-a-time.h> infrastructure, so that we can regain
      the little-endian optimizations.  But before we do that, switch over to
      the generic routines to make the patches each do just one well-defined
      thing.
