      x86: mm: support ARCH_MMAP_RND_BITS · 9e08f57d
      由 Daniel Cashman 提交于 
      x86: arch_mmap_rnd() uses hard-coded values, 8 for 32-bit and 28 for
64-bit, to generate the random offset for the mmap base address.  This
value represents a compromise between increased ASLR effectiveness and
avoiding address-space fragmentation.  Replace it with a Kconfig option,
which is sensibly bounded, so that platform developers may choose where
to place this compromise.  Keep default values as new minimums.

      locking/pvqspinlock: Collect slowpath lock statistics · 45e898b7
      由 Waiman Long 提交于 
      This patch enables the accumulation of kicking and waiting related
PV qspinlock statistics when the new QUEUED_LOCK_STAT configuration
option is selected. It also enables the collection of data which
enable us to calculate the kicking and wakeup latencies which have
a heavy dependency on the CPUs being used.

The statistical counters are per-cpu variables to minimize the
performance overhead in their updates. These counters are exported
via the debugfs filesystem under the qlockstat directory.  When the
corresponding debugfs files are read, summation and computing of the
required data are then performed.

The measured latencies for different CPUs are:

	CPU		Wakeup		Kicking
	---		------		-------
	Haswell-EX	63.6us		 7.4us
	Westmere-EX	67.6us		 9.3us

The measured latencies varied a bit from run-to-run. The wakeup
latency is much higher than the kicking latency.

A sample of statistical counters after system bootup (with vCPU
overcommit) was:

	pv_hash_hops=1.00
	pv_kick_unlock=1148
	pv_kick_wake=1146
	pv_latency_kick=11040
	pv_latency_wake=194840
	pv_spurious_wakeup=7
	pv_wait_again=4
	pv_wait_head=23

      swiotlb: Enable it under x86 PAE · 9d99c712
      由 Christian Melki 提交于 
      Most distributions end up enabling SWIOTLB already with 32-bit
kernels due to the combination of CONFIG_HYPERVISOR_GUEST|CONFIG_XEN=y
as those end up requiring the SWIOTLB.

However for those that are not interested in virtualization and
run in 32-bit they will discover that: "32-bit PAE 4.2.0 kernel
(no IOMMU code) would hang when writing to my USB disk. The kernel
spews million(-ish messages per sec) to syslog, effectively
"hanging" userspace with my kernel.

... etc ..."

Enabling it makes the problem go away.

N.B. With a6dfa128
"config: Enable NEED_DMA_MAP_STATE by default when SWIOTLB is selected"
we also have the important part of the SG macros enabled to make this
work properly - in case anybody wants to backport this patch.

      kexec: split kexec_load syscall from kexec core code · 2965faa5
      由 Dave Young 提交于 
      There are two kexec load syscalls, kexec_load another and kexec_file_load.
 kexec_file_load has been splited as kernel/kexec_file.c.  In this patch I
split kexec_load syscall code to kernel/kexec.c.

And add a new kconfig option KEXEC_CORE, so we can disable kexec_load and
use kexec_file_load only, or vice verse.

The original requirement is from Ted Ts'o, he want kexec kernel signature
being checked with CONFIG_KEXEC_VERIFY_SIG enabled.  But kexec-tools use
kexec_load syscall can bypass the checking.

Vivek Goyal proposed to create a common kconfig option so user can compile
in only one syscall for loading kexec kernel.  KEXEC/KEXEC_FILE selects
KEXEC_CORE so that old config files still work.

Because there's general code need CONFIG_KEXEC_CORE, so I updated all the
architecture Kconfig with a new option KEXEC_CORE, and let KEXEC selects
KEXEC_CORE in arch Kconfig.  Also updated general kernel code with to
kexec_load syscall.

      mm: send one IPI per CPU to TLB flush all entries after unmapping pages · 72b252ae
      由 Mel Gorman 提交于 
      An IPI is sent to flush remote TLBs when a page is unmapped that was
potentially accesssed by other CPUs.  There are many circumstances where
this happens but the obvious one is kswapd reclaiming pages belonging to a
running process as kswapd and the task are likely running on separate
CPUs.

On small machines, this is not a significant problem but as machine gets
larger with more cores and more memory, the cost of these IPIs can be
high.  This patch uses a simple structure that tracks CPUs that
potentially have TLB entries for pages being unmapped.  When the unmapping
is complete, the full TLB is flushed on the assumption that a refill cost
is lower than flushing individual entries.

Architectures wishing to do this must give the following guarantee.

        If a clean page is unmapped and not immediately flushed, the
        architecture must guarantee that a write to that linear address
        from a CPU with a cached TLB entry will trap a page fault.

This is essentially what the kernel already depends on but the window is
much larger with this patch applied and is worth highlighting.  The
architecture should consider whether the cost of the full TLB flush is
higher than sending an IPI to flush each individual entry.  An additional
architecture helper called flush_tlb_local is required.  It's a trivial
wrapper with some accounting in the x86 case.

The impact of this patch depends on the workload as measuring any benefit
requires both mapped pages co-located on the LRU and memory pressure.  The
case with the biggest impact is multiple processes reading mapped pages
taken from the vm-scalability test suite.  The test case uses NR_CPU
readers of mapped files that consume 10*RAM.

This is showing that the readers completed 24.40% faster with 29% less
system CPU time.  From vmstats, it is known that the vanilla kernel was
interrupted roughly 900K times per second during the steady phase of the
test and the patched kernel was interrupts 180K times per second.

The impact is lower on a single socket machine.

System        111.82        76.56

It's still a noticeable improvement with vmstat showing interrupts went
from roughly 500K per second to 45K per second.

The patch will have no impact on workloads with no memory pressure or have
relatively few mapped pages.  It will have an unpredictable impact on the
workload running on the CPU being flushed as it'll depend on how many TLB
entries need to be refilled and how long that takes.  Worst case, the TLB
will be completely cleared of active entries when the target PFNs were not
resident at all.

      x86, pmem: clarify that ARCH_HAS_PMEM_API implies PMEM mapped WB · 96601adb
      由 Dan Williams 提交于 
      Given that a write-back (WB) mapping plus non-temporal stores is
expected to be the most efficient way to access PMEM, update the
definition of ARCH_HAS_PMEM_API to imply arch support for
WB-mapped-PMEM.  This is needed as a pre-requisite for adding PMEM to
the direct map and mapping it with struct page.

The above clarification for X86_64 means that memcpy_to_pmem() is
permitted to use the non-temporal arch_memcpy_to_pmem() rather than
needlessly fall back to default_memcpy_to_pmem() when the pcommit
instruction is not available.  When arch_memcpy_to_pmem() is not
guaranteed to flush writes out of cache, i.e. on older X86_32
implementations where non-temporal stores may just dirty cache,
ARCH_HAS_PMEM_API is simply disabled.

The default fall back for persistent memory handling remains.  Namely,
map it with the WT (write-through) cache-type and hope for the best.

arch_has_pmem_api() is updated to only indicate whether the arch
provides the proper helpers to meet the minimum "writes are visible
outside the cache hierarchy after memcpy_to_pmem() + wmb_pmem()".  Code
that cares whether wmb_pmem() actually flushes writes to pmem must now
call arch_has_wmb_pmem() directly.

      nd_blk: change aperture mapping from WC to WB · 67a3e8fe
      由 Ross Zwisler 提交于 
      This should result in a pretty sizeable performance gain for reads.  For
rough comparison I did some simple read testing using PMEM to compare
reads of write combining (WC) mappings vs write-back (WB).  This was
done on a random lab machine.

PMEM reads from a write combining mapping:
	# dd of=/dev/null if=/dev/pmem0 bs=4096 count=100000
	100000+0 records in
	100000+0 records out
	409600000 bytes (410 MB) copied, 9.2855 s, 44.1 MB/s

PMEM reads from a write-back mapping:
	# dd of=/dev/null if=/dev/pmem0 bs=4096 count=1000000
	1000000+0 records in
	1000000+0 records out
	4096000000 bytes (4.1 GB) copied, 3.44034 s, 1.2 GB/s

To be able to safely support a write-back aperture I needed to add
support for the "read flush" _DSM flag, as outlined in the DSM spec:

http://pmem.io/documents/NVDIMM_DSM_Interface_Example.pdf

This flag tells the ND BLK driver that it needs to flush the cache lines
associated with the aperture after the aperture is moved but before any
new data is read.  This ensures that any stale cache lines from the
previous contents of the aperture will be discarded from the processor
cache, and the new data will be read properly from the DIMM.  We know
that the cache lines are clean and will be discarded without any
writeback because either a) the previous aperture operation was a read,
and we never modified the contents of the aperture, or b) the previous
aperture operation was a write and we must have written back the dirtied
contents of the aperture to the DIMM before the I/O was completed.

In order to add support for the "read flush" flag I needed to add a
generic routine to invalidate cache lines, mmio_flush_range().  This is
protected by the ARCH_HAS_MMIO_FLUSH Kconfig variable, and is currently
only supported on x86.

      libnvdimm, e820: make CONFIG_X86_PMEM_LEGACY a tristate option · 7a67832c
      由 Dan Williams 提交于 
      We currently register a platform device for e820 type-12 memory and
register a nvdimm bus beneath it.  Registering the platform device
triggers the device-core machinery to probe for a driver, but that
search currently comes up empty.  Building the nvdimm-bus registration
into the e820_pmem platform device registration in this way forces
libnvdimm to be built-in.  Instead, convert the built-in portion of
CONFIG_X86_PMEM_LEGACY to simply register a platform device and move the
rest of the logic to the driver for e820_pmem, for the following
reasons:

1/ Letting e820_pmem support be a module allows building and testing
   libnvdimm.ko changes without rebooting

2/ All the normal policy around modules can be applied to e820_pmem
   (unbind to disable and/or blacklisting the module from loading by
   default)

3/ Moving the driver to a generic location and converting it to scan
   "iomem_resource" rather than "e820.map" means any other architecture can
   take advantage of this simple nvdimm resource discovery mechanism by
   registering a resource named "Persistent Memory (legacy)"

      x86/kconfig/32: Rename CONFIG_VM86 and default it to 'n' · 5aef51c3
      由 Andy Lutomirski 提交于 
      VM86 is entirely broken if ptrace, syscall auditing, or
NOHZ_FULL is in use.  The code is a big undocumented mess, it's
a real PITA to test, and it looks like a big chunk of vm86_32.c
is dead code.  It also plays awful games with the entry asm.

No one should be using it anyway. Use DOSBOX or KVM instead.

Let's accelerate its slow death.  Remove it from EXPERT and
default it to n.  Distros should not enable it.  In the unlikely
event that some user needs it, they can easily re-enable it.

While we're at it, rename it to CONFIG_X86_LEGACY_VM86 so that 'make
oldconfig' users will be prompted again.  I left CONFIG_VM86 as
an alias to avoid a treewide replacement of the names.  We can
clean that up once the current asm and vm86 code churn settles
down.

      libnvdimm, pmem: add libnvdimm support to the pmem driver · 9f53f9fa
      由 Dan Williams 提交于 
      nd_pmem attaches to persistent memory regions and namespaces emitted by
the libnvdimm subsystem, and, same as the original pmem driver, presents
the system-physical-address range as a block device.

The existing e820-type-12 to pmem setup is converted to an nvdimm_bus
that emits an nd_namespace_io device.

Note that the X in 'pmemX' is now derived from the parent region.  This
provides some stability to the pmem devices names from boot-to-boot.
The minor numbers are also more predictable by passing 0 to
alloc_disk().

      x86: Kill CONFIG_X86_HT · c8e56d20
      由 Borislav Petkov 提交于 
      In talking to Aravind recently about making certain AMD topology
attributes available to the MCE injection module, it seemed like
that CONFIG_X86_HT thing is more or less superfluous. It is
def_bool y, depends on SMP and gets enabled in the majority of
.configs - distro and otherwise - out there.

So let's kill it and make code behind it depend directly on SMP.

      x86/kconfig: Reorganize arch feature Kconfig select's · 6471b825
      由 Ingo Molnar 提交于 
      Peter Zijstra noticed that in arch/x86/Kconfig there are a lot
of X86_{32,64} clauses in the X86 symbol, plus there are a number
of similar selects in the X86_32 and X86_64 config definitions
as well - which all overlap in an inconsistent mess.

So:

  - move all select's from X86_32 and X86_64 to the X64 config
    option

  - sort their names, so that duplications are easier to spot

  - align their if clauses, so that they are easier to identify
    at a glance - and so that weirdnesses stand out more

No change in functionality:

      EDAC: Cleanup atomic_scrub mess · b01aec9b
      由 Borislav Petkov 提交于 
      So first of all, this atomic_scrub() function's naming is bad. It looks
like an atomic_t helper. Change it to edac_atomic_scrub().

The bigger problem is that this function is arch-specific and every new
arch which doesn't necessarily need that functionality still needs to
define it, otherwise EDAC doesn't compile.

So instead of doing that and including arch-specific headers, have each
arch define an EDAC_ATOMIC_SCRUB symbol which can be used in edac_mc.c
for ifdeffery. Much cleaner.

And we already are doing this with another symbol - EDAC_SUPPORT. This
is also much cleaner than having CONFIG_EDAC enumerate all the arches
which need/have EDAC support and drivers.

This way I can kill the useless edac.h header in tile too.

      hwmon: Allow to compile dell-smm-hwmon driver without /proc/i8k · 039ae585
      由 Pali Rohár 提交于 
      This patch splits CONFIG_I8K compile option to SENSORS_DELL_SMM and CONFIG_I8K.
Option SENSORS_DELL_SMM is now used to enable compilation of dell-smm-hwmon
driver and old CONFIG_I8K option to enable /proc/i8k interface in driver.

So this change allows to compile dell-smm-hwmon driver without legacy /proc/i8k
interface which is needed only for old Dell Inspirion models or for userspace
i8kutils package.

For backward compatibility when CONFIG_I8K is enabled then also SENSORS_DELL_SMM
is enabled and so driver dell-smm-hwmon (with /proc/i8k) is compiled.

called CONFIG_QUEUED_SPINLOCK. (Note the extra 'S')

But the typo was natural: the proper English term for such
a generic object would be 'queued spinlocks' - so rename
this and related symbols accordingly to the plural form.

      x86/kconfig: Bump default NR_CPUS from 8 to 64 for 64-bit configuration · c5c19941
      由 Kirill A. Shutemov 提交于 
      Default NR_CPUS==8 is not enough to cover high-end desktop
configuration: Haswell-E has upto 16 threads.

Let's increase default NR_CPUS to 64 on 64-bit configuration.
With this value CPU bitmask will still fit into one unsigned long.

Default for 32-bit configuration is still 8: it's unlikely
anybody will run 32-bit kernels on modern hardware.

As an alternative we could bump NR_CPUS to 128 to cover all
dual-processor servers with some margin.

For reference: Debian and Suse build their kernels with
NR_CPUS==512, Fedora -- 1024.

      locking/pvqspinlock, x86: Implement the paravirt qspinlock call patching · f233f7f1
      由 Peter Zijlstra (Intel) 提交于 
      We use the regular paravirt call patching to switch between:

  native_queued_spin_lock_slowpath()	__pv_queued_spin_lock_slowpath()
  native_queued_spin_unlock()		__pv_queued_spin_unlock()

We use a callee saved call for the unlock function which reduces the
i-cache footprint and allows 'inlining' of SPIN_UNLOCK functions
again.

We further optimize the unlock path by patching the direct call with a
"movb $0,%arg1" if we are indeed using the native unlock code. This
makes the unlock code almost as fast as the !PARAVIRT case.

This significantly lowers the overhead of having
CONFIG_PARAVIRT_SPINLOCKS enabled, even for native code.

      locking/qspinlock, x86: Enable x86-64 to use queued spinlocks · d73a3397
      由 Waiman Long 提交于 
      This patch makes the necessary changes at the x86 architecture
specific layer to enable the use of queued spinlocks for x86-64. As
x86-32 machines are typically not multi-socket. The benefit of queue
spinlock may not be apparent. So queued spinlocks are not enabled.

Currently, there is some incompatibilities between the para-virtualized
spinlock code (which hard-codes the use of ticket spinlock) and the
queued spinlocks. Therefore, the use of queued spinlocks is disabled
when the para-virtualized spinlock is enabled.

The arch/x86/include/asm/qspinlock.h header file includes some x86
specific optimization which will make the queueds spinlock code
perform better than the generic implementation.
