      security: remove unused parameter from security_task_setscheduler() · b0ae1981
      由 KOSAKI Motohiro 提交于 
      All security modules shouldn't change sched_param parameter of
security_task_setscheduler().  This is not only meaningless, but also
make a harmful result if caller pass a static variable.

This patch remove policy and sched_param parameter from
security_task_setscheduler() becuase none of security module is
using it.

      x86, mm: Enable ARCH_DMA_ADDR_T_64BIT with X86_64 || HIGHMEM64G · 66f2b061
      由 FUJITA Tomonori 提交于 
      Set CONFIG_ARCH_DMA_ADDR_T_64BIT when we set dma_addr_t to 64 bits in
<asm/types.h>; this allows Kconfig decisions based on this property.

      x86: Spread tlb flush vector between nodes · 93296720
      由 Shaohua Li 提交于 
      Currently flush tlb vector allocation is based on below equation:
	sender = smp_processor_id() % 8
This isn't optimal, CPUs from different node can have the same vector, this
causes a lot of lock contention. Instead, we can assign the same vectors to
CPUs from the same node, while different node has different vectors. This has
below advantages:
a. if there is lock contention, the lock contention is between CPUs from one
node. This should be much cheaper than the contention between nodes.
b. completely avoid lock contention between nodes. This especially benefits
kswapd, which is the biggest user of tlb flush, since kswapd sets its affinity
to specific node.

In my test, this could reduce > 20% CPU overhead in extreme case.The test
machine has 4 nodes and each node has 16 CPUs. I then bind each node's kswapd
to the first CPU of the node. I run a workload with 4 sequential mmap file
read thread. The files are empty sparse file. This workload will trigger a
lot of page reclaim and tlbflush. The kswapd bind is to easy trigger the
extreme tlb flush lock contention because otherwise kswapd keeps migrating
between CPUs of a node and I can't get stable result. Sure in real workload,
we can't always see so big tlb flush lock contention, but it's possible.
