      We can use a gcc extension to ensure that ARRAY_SIZE() is handed an array,
not a pointer.  This is especially important when code is changed from a
fixed array to a pointer.  I assume the Intel compiler doesn't support
__builtin_types_compatible_p.

SPARE_PAGES representing the number of pages that should be freed by the
swsusp's memory shrinker in addition to PAGES_FOR_IO so that device drivers

      swsusp: do not use page flags · 74dfd666
      由 Rafael J. Wysocki 提交于 
      Make swsusp use memory bitmaps instead of page flags for marking 'nosave' and
free pages.  This allows us to 'recycle' two page flags that can be used for
other purposes.  Also, the memory needed to store the bitmaps is allocated
when necessary (ie.  before the suspend) and freed after the resume which is
more reasonable.

The patch is designed to minimize the amount of changes and there are some
nice simplifications and optimizations possible on top of it.  I am going to
implement them separately in the future.

      blackfin architecture · 1394f032
      由 Bryan Wu 提交于 
      This adds support for the Analog Devices Blackfin processor architecture, and
currently supports the BF533, BF532, BF531, BF537, BF536, BF534, and BF561
(Dual Core) devices, with a variety of development platforms including those
avaliable from Analog Devices (BF533-EZKit, BF533-STAMP, BF537-STAMP,
BF561-EZKIT), and Bluetechnix!  Tinyboards.

The Blackfin architecture was jointly developed by Intel and Analog Devices
Inc.  (ADI) as the Micro Signal Architecture (MSA) core and introduced it in
December of 2000.  Since then ADI has put this core into its Blackfin
processor family of devices.  The Blackfin core has the advantages of a clean,
orthogonal,RISC-like microprocessor instruction set.  It combines a dual-MAC
(Multiply/Accumulate), state-of-the-art signal processing engine and
single-instruction, multiple-data (SIMD) multimedia capabilities into a single
instruction-set architecture.

The Blackfin architecture, including the instruction set, is described by the
ADSP-BF53x/BF56x Blackfin Processor Programming Reference
http://blackfin.uclinux.org/gf/download/frsrelease/29/2549/Blackfin_PRM.pdf

The Blackfin processor is already supported by major releases of gcc, and
there are binary and source rpms/tarballs for many architectures at:
http://blackfin.uclinux.org/gf/project/toolchain/frs There is complete
documentation, including "getting started" guides available at:
http://docs.blackfin.uclinux.org/ which provides links to the sources and
patches you will need in order to set up a cross-compiling environment for
bfin-linux-uclibc

This patch, as well as the other patches (toolchain, distribution,
uClibc) are actively supported by Analog Devices Inc, at:
http://blackfin.uclinux.org/

We have tested this on LTP, and our test plan (including pass/fails) can
be found at:

      page migration: Only migrate pages if allocation in the highest zone is possible · 906e0be1
      由 Christoph Lameter 提交于 
      Address spaces contain an allocation flag that specifies restriction on the
zone for pages placed in the mapping.  I.e.  some device may require pages
to be allocated from a DMA zone.  Block devices may not be able to use
pages from HIGHMEM.

Memory policies and the common use of page migration works only on the
highest zone.  If the address space does not allow allocation from the
highest zone then the pages in the address space are not migratable simply
because we can only allocate memory for a specified node if we allow
allocation for the highest zone on each node.

      slab allocators: Remove SLAB_CTOR_ATOMIC · 4f104934
      由 Christoph Lameter 提交于 
      SLAB_CTOR atomic is never used which is no surprise since I cannot imagine
that one would want to do something serious in a constructor or destructor.
 In particular given that the slab allocators run with interrupts disabled.
 Actions in constructors and destructors are by their nature very limited
and usually do not go beyond initializing variables and list operations.

(The i386 pgd ctor and dtors do take a spinlock in constructor and
destructor.....  I think that is the furthest we go at this point.)

There is no flag passed to the destructor so removing SLAB_CTOR_ATOMIC also
establishes a certain symmetry.

      slab allocators: Remove SLAB_DEBUG_INITIAL flag · 50953fe9
      由 Christoph Lameter 提交于 
      I have never seen a use of SLAB_DEBUG_INITIAL.  It is only supported by
SLAB.

I think its purpose was to have a callback after an object has been freed
to verify that the state is the constructor state again?  The callback is
performed before each freeing of an object.

I would think that it is much easier to check the object state manually
before the free.  That also places the check near the code object
manipulation of the object.

Also the SLAB_DEBUG_INITIAL callback is only performed if the kernel was
compiled with SLAB debugging on.  If there would be code in a constructor
handling SLAB_DEBUG_INITIAL then it would have to be conditional on
SLAB_DEBUG otherwise it would just be dead code.  But there is no such code
in the kernel.  I think SLUB_DEBUG_INITIAL is too problematic to make real
use of, difficult to understand and there are easier ways to accomplish the
same effect (i.e.  add debug code before kfree).

There is a related flag SLAB_CTOR_VERIFY that is frequently checked to be
clear in fs inode caches.  Remove the pointless checks (they would even be
pointless without removeal of SLAB_DEBUG_INITIAL) from the fs constructors.

This is the last slab flag that SLUB did not support.  Remove the check for
unimplemented flags from SLUB.

      KMEM_CACHE(): simplify slab cache creation · 0a31bd5f
      由 Christoph Lameter 提交于 
      This patch provides a new macro

KMEM_CACHE(<struct>, <flags>)

to simplify slab creation. KMEM_CACHE creates a slab with the name of the
struct, with the size of the struct and with the alignment of the struct.
Additional slab flags may be specified if necessary.

Example

struct test_slab {
	int a,b,c;
	struct list_head;
} __cacheline_aligned_in_smp;

test_slab_cache = KMEM_CACHE(test_slab, SLAB_PANIC)

will create a new slab named "test_slab" of the size sizeof(struct
test_slab) and aligned to the alignment of test slab.  If it fails then we
panic.

      slab allocators: Remove obsolete SLAB_MUST_HWCACHE_ALIGN · 5af60839
      由 Christoph Lameter 提交于 
      This patch was recently posted to lkml and acked by Pekka.

The flag SLAB_MUST_HWCACHE_ALIGN is

1. Never checked by SLAB at all.

2. A duplicate of SLAB_HWCACHE_ALIGN for SLUB

3. Fulfills the role of SLAB_HWCACHE_ALIGN for SLOB.

The only remaining use is in sparc64 and ppc64 and their use there
reflects some earlier role that the slab flag once may have had. If
its specified then SLAB_HWCACHE_ALIGN is also specified.

The flag is confusing, inconsistent and has no purpose.

Remove it.

      mm: optimize kill_bdev() · f9a14399
      由 Peter Zijlstra 提交于 
      Remove duplicate work in kill_bdev().

It currently invalidates and then truncates the bdev's mapping.
invalidate_mapping_pages() will opportunistically remove pages from the
mapping.  And truncate_inode_pages() will forcefully remove all pages.

The only thing truncate doesn't do is flush the bh lrus.  So do that
explicitly.  This avoids (very unlikely) but possible invalid lookup
results if the same bdev is quickly re-issued.

It also will prevent extreme kernel latencies which are observed when
blockdevs which have a large amount of pagecache are unmounted, by avoiding
invalidate_mapping_pages() on that path.  invalidate_mapping_pages() has no
cond_resched (it can be called under spinlock), whereas truncate_inode_pages()
has one.

      Quicklists for page table pages · 6225e937
      由 Christoph Lameter 提交于 
      On x86_64 this cuts allocation overhead for page table pages down to a
fraction (kernel compile / editing load.  TSC based measurement of times spend
in each function):

no quicklist

pte_alloc               1569048 4.3s(401ns/2.7us/179.7us)
pmd_alloc                780988 2.1s(337ns/2.7us/86.1us)
pud_alloc                780072 2.2s(424ns/2.8us/300.6us)
pgd_alloc                260022 1s(920ns/4us/263.1us)

quicklist:

pte_alloc                452436 573.4ms(8ns/1.3us/121.1us)
pmd_alloc                196204 174.5ms(7ns/889ns/46.1us)
pud_alloc                195688 172.4ms(7ns/881ns/151.3us)
pgd_alloc                 65228 9.8ms(8ns/150ns/6.1us)

pgd allocations are the most complex and there we see the most dramatic
improvement (may be we can cut down the amount of pgds cached somewhat?).  But
even the pte allocations still see a doubling of performance.

1. Proven code from the IA64 arch.

	The method used here has been fine tuned for years and
	is NUMA aware. It is based on the knowledge that accesses
	to page table pages are sparse in nature. Taking a page
	off the freelists instead of allocating a zeroed pages
	allows a reduction of number of cachelines touched
	in addition to getting rid of the slab overhead. So
	performance improves. This is particularly useful if pgds
	contain standard mappings. We can save on the teardown
	and setup of such a page if we have some on the quicklists.
	This includes avoiding lists operations that are otherwise
	necessary on alloc and free to track pgds.

2. Light weight alternative to use slab to manage page size pages

	Slab overhead is significant and even page allocator use
	is pretty heavy weight. The use of a per cpu quicklist
	means that we touch only two cachelines for an allocation.
	There is no need to access the page_struct (unless arch code
	needs to fiddle around with it). So the fast past just
	means bringing in one cacheline at the beginning of the
	page. That same cacheline may then be used to store the
	page table entry. Or a second cacheline may be used
	if the page table entry is not in the first cacheline of
	the page. The current code will zero the page which means
	touching 32 cachelines (assuming 128 byte). We get down
	from 32 to 2 cachelines in the fast path.

3. x86_64 gets lightweight page table page management.

	This will allow x86_64 arch code to faster repopulate pgds
	and other page table entries. The list operations for pgds
	are reduced in the same way as for i386 to the point where
	a pgd is allocated from the page allocator and when it is
	freed back to the page allocator. A pgd can pass through
	the quicklists without having to be reinitialized.

64 Consolidation of code from multiple arches

	So far arches have their own implementation of quicklist
	management. This patch moves that feature into the core allowing
	an easier maintenance and consistent management of quicklists.

Page table pages have the characteristics that they are typically zero or in a
known state when they are freed.  This is usually the exactly same state as
needed after allocation.  So it makes sense to build a list of freed page
table pages and then consume the pages already in use first.  Those pages have
already been initialized correctly (thus no need to zero them) and are likely
already cached in such a way that the MMU can use them most effectively.  Page
table pages are used in a sparse way so zeroing them on allocation is not too
useful.

Such an implementation already exits for ia64.  Howver, that implementation
did not support constructors and destructors as needed by i386 / x86_64.  It
also only supported a single quicklist.  The implementation here has
constructor and destructor support as well as the ability for an arch to
specify how many quicklists are needed.

Quicklists are defined by an arch defining CONFIG_QUICKLIST.  If more than one
quicklist is necessary then we can define NR_QUICK for additional lists.  F.e.
 i386 needs two and thus has

config NR_QUICK
	int
	default 2

If an arch has requested quicklist support then pages can be allocated
from the quicklist (or from the page allocator if the quicklist is
empty) via:

quicklist_alloc(<quicklist-nr>, <gfpflags>, <constructor>)

Page table pages can be freed using:

quicklist_free(<quicklist-nr>, <destructor>, <page>)

Pages must have a definite state after allocation and before
they are freed. If no constructor is specified then pages
will be zeroed on allocation and must be zeroed before they are
freed.

If a constructor is used then the constructor will establish
a definite page state. F.e. the i386 and x86_64 pgd constructors
establish certain mappings.

Constructors and destructors can also be used to track the pages.
i386 and x86_64 use a list of pgds in order to be able to dynamically
update standard mappings.
