Now that we're using "preferred local" policy for system default, we need to
make this as fast as possible.  Because of the variable size of the mempolicy
structure [based on size of nodemasks], the preferred_node may be in a
different cacheline from the mode.  This can result in accessing an extra
cacheline in the normal case of system default policy.  Suspect this is the
cause of an observed 2-3% slowdown in page fault testing relative to kernel
without this patch series.

To alleviate this, use an internal mode flag, MPOL_F_LOCAL in the mempolicy
flags member which is guaranteed [?] to be in the same cacheline as the mode
itself.

Verified that reworked mempolicy now performs slightly better on 25-rc8-mm1
for both anon and shmem segments with system default and vma [preferred local]
policy.

Here are a couple of "cleanups" for MPOL_PREFERRED behavior when
v.preferred_node < 0 -- i.e., "local allocation":

1)  [do_]get_mempolicy() calls the now renamed get_policy_nodemask()
    to fetch the nodemask associated with a policy.  Currently,
    get_policy_nodemask() returns the set of nodes with memory, when
    the policy 'mode' is 'PREFERRED, and the preferred_node is < 0.
    Change to return an empty nodemask, as this is what was specified
    to achieve "local allocation".

2)  When a task is moved into a [new] cpuset, mpol_rebind_policy() is
    called to adjust any task and vma policy nodes to be valid in the
    new cpuset.  However, when the policy is MPOL_PREFERRED, and the
    preferred_node is <0, no rebind is necessary.  The "local allocation"
    indication is valid in any cpuset.  Existing code will "do the right
    thing" because node_remap() will just return the argument node when
    it is outside of the valid range of node ids.  However, I think it is
    clearer and cleaner to skip the remap explicitly in this case.

3)  mpol_to_str() produces a printable, "human readable" string from a
    struct mempolicy.  For MPOL_PREFERRED with preferred_node <0,  show
    "local", as this indicates local allocation, as the task migrates
    among nodes.  Note that this matches the usage of "local allocation"
    in libnuma() and numactl.  Without this change, I believe that node_set()
    [via set_bit()] will set bit 31, resulting in a misleading display.

Currently, when one specifies MPOL_DEFAULT via a NUMA memory policy API
[set_mempolicy(), mbind() and internal versions], the kernel simply installs a
NULL struct mempolicy pointer in the appropriate context: task policy, vma
policy, or shared policy.  This causes any use of that policy to "fall back"
to the next most specific policy scope.

The only use of MPOL_DEFAULT to mean "local allocation" is in the system
default policy.  This requires extra checks/cases for MPOL_DEFAULT in many
mempolicy.c functions.

There is another, "preferred" way to specify local allocation via the APIs.
That is using the MPOL_PREFERRED policy mode with an empty nodemask.
Internally, the empty nodemask gets converted to a preferred_node id of '-1'.
All internal usage of MPOL_PREFERRED will convert the '-1' to the id of the
node local to the cpu where the allocation occurs.

System default policy, except during boot, is hard-coded to "local
allocation".  By using the MPOL_PREFERRED mode with a negative value of
preferred node for system default policy, MPOL_DEFAULT will never occur in the
'policy' member of a struct mempolicy.  Thus, we can remove all checks for
MPOL_DEFAULT when converting policy to a node id/zonelist in the allocation
paths.

In slab_node() return local node id when policy pointer is NULL.  No need to
set a pol value to take the switch default.  Replace switch default with
BUG()--i.e., shouldn't happen.

With this patch MPOL_DEFAULT is only used in the APIs, including internal
calls to do_set_mempolicy() and in the display of policy in
/proc/<pid>/numa_maps.  It always means "fall back" to the the next most
specific policy scope.  This simplifies the description of memory policies
quite a bit, with no visible change in behavior.

get_mempolicy() continues to return MPOL_DEFAULT and an empty nodemask when
the requested policy [task or vma/shared] is NULL.  These are the values one
would supply via set_mempolicy() or mbind() to achieve that condition--default
behavior.

This patch updates Documentation to reflect this change.

After further discussion with Christoph Lameter, it has become clear that my
earlier attempts to clean up the mempolicy reference counting were a bit of
overkill in some areas, resulting in superflous ref/unref in what are usually
fast paths.  In other areas, further inspection reveals that I botched the
unref for interleave policies.

A separate patch, suitable for upstream/stable trees, fixes up the known
errors in the previous attempt to fix reference counting.

This patch reworks the memory policy referencing counting and, one hopes,
simplifies the code.  Maybe I'll get it right this time.

See the update to the numa_memory_policy.txt document for a discussion of
memory policy reference counting that motivates this patch.

Summary:

Lookup of mempolicy, based on (vma, address) need only add a reference for
shared policy, and we need only unref the policy when finished for shared
policies.  So, this patch backs out all of the unneeded extra reference
counting added by my previous attempt.  It then unrefs only shared policies
when we're finished with them, using the mpol_cond_put() [conditional put]
helper function introduced by this patch.

Note that shmem_swapin() calls read_swap_cache_async() with a dummy vma
containing just the policy.  read_swap_cache_async() can call alloc_page_vma()
multiple times, so we can't let alloc_page_vma() unref the shared policy in
this case.  To avoid this, we make a copy of any non-null shared policy and
remove the MPOL_F_SHARED flag from the copy.  This copy occurs before reading
a page [or multiple pages] from swap, so the overhead should not be an issue
here.

I introduced a new static inline function "mpol_cond_copy()" to copy the
shared policy to an on-stack policy and remove the flags that would require a
conditional free.  The current implementation of mpol_cond_copy() assumes that
the struct mempolicy contains no pointers to dynamically allocated structures
that must be duplicated or reference counted during copy.

As part of yet another rework of mempolicy reference counting, we want to be
able to identify shared policies efficiently, because they have an extra ref
taken on lookup that needs to be removed when we're finished using the policy.

  Note:  the extra ref is required because the policies are
  shared between tasks/processes and can be changed/freed
  by one task while another task is using them--e.g., for
  page allocation.

Building on David Rientjes mempolicy "mode flags" enhancement, this patch
indicates a "shared" policy by setting a new MPOL_F_SHARED flag in the flags
member of the struct mempolicy added by David.  MPOL_F_SHARED, and any future
"internal mode flags" are reserved from bit zero up, as they will never be
passed in the upper bits of the mode argument of a mempolicy API.

I set the MPOL_F_SHARED flag when the policy is installed in the shared policy
rb-tree.  Don't need/want to clear the flag when removing from the tree as the
mempolicy is freed [unref'd] internally to the sp_delete() function.  However,
a task could hold another reference on this mempolicy from a prior lookup.  We
need the MPOL_F_SHARED flag to stay put so that any tasks holding a ref will
unref, eventually freeing, the mempolicy.

A later patch in this series will introduce a function to conditionally unref
[mpol_free] a policy.  The MPOL_F_SHARED flag is one reason [currently the
only reason] to unref/free a policy via the conditional free.

The terms 'policy' and 'mode' are both used in various places to describe the
semantics of the value stored in the 'policy' member of struct mempolicy.
Furthermore, the term 'policy' is used to refer to that member, to the entire
struct mempolicy and to the more abstract concept of the tuple consisting of a
"mode" and an optional node or set of nodes.  Recently, we have added "mode
flags" that are passed in the upper bits of the 'mode' [or sometimes,
'policy'] member of the numa APIs.

I'd like to resolve this confusion, which perhaps only exists in my mind, by
renaming the 'policy' member to 'mode' throughout, and fixing up the
Documentation.  Man pages will be updated separately.

get_vma_policy() is not handling fallback to task policy correctly when the
get_policy() vm_op returns NULL.  The NULL overwrites the 'pol' variable that
was holding the fallback task mempolicy.  So, it was falling back directly to
system default policy.

Fix get_vma_policy() to use only non-NULL policy returned from the vma
get_policy op.

shm_get_policy() was falling back to current task's mempolicy if the "backing
file system" [tmpfs vs hugetlbfs] does not support the get_policy vm_op and
the vma policy is null.  This is incorrect for show_numa_maps() which is
likely querying the numa_maps of some task other than current.  Remove this
fallback.

A read of /proc/<pid>/numa_maps holds the target task's mmap_sem for read
while examining each vma's mempolicy.  A vma's mempolicy can fall back to the
task's policy.  However, the task could be changing it's task policy and free
the one that the show_numa_maps() is examining.

To prevent this, grab the mmap_sem for write when updating task mempolicy.
Pointed out to me by Christoph Lameter and extracted and reworked from
Christoph's alternative mempol reference counting patch.

This is analogous to the way that do_mbind() and do_get_mempolicy() prevent
races between task's sharing an mm_struct [a.k.a.  threads] setting and
querying a mempolicy for a particular address.

Note: this is necessary, but not sufficient, to allow us to stop taking an
extra reference on "other task's mempolicy" in get_vma_policy.  Subsequent
patches will complete this update, allowing us to simplify the tests for
whether we need to unref a mempolicy at various points in the code.

This is a change that was requested some time ago by Mel Gorman.  Makes sense
to me, so here it is.

Note: I retain the name "mpol_free_shared_policy()" because it actually does
free the shared_policy, which is NOT a reference counted object.  However, ...

The mempolicy object[s] referenced by the shared_policy are reference counted,
so mpol_put() is used to release the reference held by the shared_policy.  The
mempolicy might not be freed at this time, because some task attached to the
shared object associated with the shared policy may be in the process of
allocating a page based on the mempolicy.  In that case, the task performing
the allocation will hold a reference on the mempolicy, obtained via
mpol_shared_policy_lookup().  The mempolicy will be freed when all tasks
holding such a reference have called mpol_put() for the mempolicy.

Allocating huge pages directly from the buddy allocator is not guaranteed to
succeed.  Success depends on several factors (such as the amount of physical
memory available and the level of fragmentation).  With the addition of
dynamic hugetlb pool resizing, allocations can occur much more frequently.
For these reasons it is desirable to keep track of huge page allocation
successes and failures.

Add two new vmstat entries to track huge page allocations that succeed and
fail.  The presence of the two entries is contingent upon CONFIG_HUGETLB_PAGE
being enabled.

Add some values of page flags to the vmcoreinfo data.

The vmcoreinfo data has the minimum debugging information only for dump
filtering.  makedumpfile (dump filtering command) gets it to distinguish
unnecessary pages, and makedumpfile creates a small dumpfile.

An old makedumpfile (v1.2.4 or before) had assumed some values of page flags
internally, and this implementation could not follow the change of these
values.  For example, Christoph Lameter is changing these values by the
follwing patch: http://lkml.org/lkml/2008/2/29/463

So a new makedumpfile (v1.2.5) came to need these values and I created this

Some architectures will not do the right thing in their virt_to_page() for use

However, we can't switch it to just return the pfn and not the kaddr, because

s390 for one, cannot implement VM_MIXEDMAP with pfn_valid, due to their memory
model (which is more dynamic than most).  Instead, they had proposed to
implement it with an additional path through vm_normal_page(), using a bit in
the pte to determine whether or not the page should be refcounted:

vm_normal_page()
{
	...
        if (unlikely(vma->vm_flags & (VM_PFNMAP|VM_MIXEDMAP))) {
                if (vma->vm_flags & VM_MIXEDMAP) {
#ifdef s390
			if (!mixedmap_refcount_pte(pte))
				return NULL;
#else
                        if (!pfn_valid(pfn))
                                return NULL;
#endif
                        goto out;
                }
	...
}

This is fine, however if we are allowed to use a bit in the pte to determine
refcountedness, we can use that to _completely_ replace all the vma based
schemes.  So instead of adding more cases to the already complex vma-based
scheme, we can have a clearly seperate and simple pte-based scheme (and get
slightly better code generation in the process):

vm_normal_page()
{
#ifdef s390
	if (!mixedmap_refcount_pte(pte))
		return NULL;
	return pte_page(pte);
#else
	...
#endif
}

And finally, we may rather make this concept usable by any architecture rather
than making it s390 only, so implement a new type of pte state for this.
Unfortunately the old vma based code must stay, because some architectures may
not be able to spare pte bits.  This makes vm_normal_page a little bit more
ugly than we would like, but the 2 cases are clearly seperate.

So introduce a pte_special pte state, and use it in mm/memory.c.  It is
currently a noop for all architectures, so this doesn't actually result in any
compiled code changes to mm/memory.o.

BTW:
I haven't put vm_normal_page() into arch code as-per an earlier suggestion.
The reason is that, regardless of where vm_normal_page is actually
implemented, the *abstraction* is still exactly the same. Also, while it
depends on whether the architecture has pte_special or not, that is the
only two possible cases, and it really isn't an arch specific function --
the role of the arch code should be to provide primitive functions and
accessors with which to build the core code; pte_special does that. We do
not want architectures to know or care about vm_normal_page itself, and
we definitely don't want them being able to invent something new there
out of sight of mm/ code. If we made vm_normal_page an arch function, then
we have to make vm_insert_mixed (next patch) an arch function too. So I
don't think moving it to arch code fundamentally improves any abstractions,
while it does practically make the code more difficult to follow, for both
mm and arch developers, and easier to misuse.

This series introduces some important infrastructure work.  The overall result
is that:

1. We now support XIP backed filesystems using memory that have no
   struct page allocated to them. And patches 6 and 7 actually implement
   this for s390.

   This is pretty important in a number of cases. As far as I understand,
   in the case of virtualisation (eg. s390), each guest may mount a
   readonly copy of the same filesystem (eg. the distro). Currently,
   guests need to allocate struct pages for this image. So if you have
   100 guests, you already need to allocate more memory for the struct
   pages than the size of the image. I think. (Carsten?)

   For other (eg. embedded) systems, you may have a very large non-
   volatile filesystem. If you have to have struct pages for this, then
   your RAM consumption will go up proportionally to fs size. Even
   though it is just a small proportion, the RAM can be much more costly
   eg in terms of power, so every KB less that Linux uses makes it more
   attractive to a lot of these guys.

2. VM_MIXEDMAP allows us to support mappings where you actually do want
   to refcount _some_ pages in the mapping, but not others, and support
   COW on arbitrary (non-linear) mappings. Jared needs this for his NVRAM
   filesystem in progress. Future iterations of this filesystem will
   most likely want to migrate pages between pagecache and XIP backing,
   which is where the requirement for mixed (some refcounted, some not)
   comes from.

3. pte_special also has a peripheral usage that I need for my lockless
   get_user_pages patch. That was shown to speed up "oltp" on db2 by
   10% on a 2 socket system, which is kind of significant because they
   scrounge for months to try to find 0.1% improvement on these
   workloads. I'm hoping we might finally be faster than AIX on
   pSeries with this :). My reference to lockless get_user_pages is not
   meant to justify this patchset (which doesn't include lockless gup),
   but just to show that pte_special is not some s390 specific thing that
   should be hidden in arch code or xip code: I definitely want to use it
   on at least x86 and powerpc as well.

This patch:

Introduce a new type of mapping, VM_MIXEDMAP.  This is unlike VM_PFNMAP in
that it can support COW mappings of arbitrary ranges including ranges without
struct page *and* ranges with a struct page that we actually want to refcount
(PFNMAP can only support COW in those cases where the un-COW-ed translations
are mapped linearly in the virtual address, and can only support non
refcounted ranges).

VM_MIXEDMAP achieves this by refcounting all pfn_valid pages, and not
refcounting !pfn_valid pages (which is not an option for VM_PFNMAP, because it
needs to avoid refcounting pfn_valid pages eg.  for /dev/mem mappings).

Having separate page flags for the head and the tail of a compound page allows
the compiler to use bitops instead of operations on a word to check for a tail
page.  That is f.e.  important for virt_to_head_page() which is used in
various critical code paths (kfree for example):

Code for PageTail(page)

Before:

 mov    (%rdi),%rdx		page->flags
 mov    %rdx,%rax		3 bytes
 and    $0x12000,%eax		5 bytes
 cmp    $0x12000,%rax		6 bytes
 je     897 <kfree+0xa7>

After:

 mov    (%rdi),%rax
 test   $0x40,%ah			(3 bytes)
 jne    887 <kfree+0x97>

So we go from 14 bytes to 3 bytes and from 3 instructions to one.  From the
use of 2 registers we go to none.

We can only use page flags for this if we have page flags available.  This
patch introduces CONFIG_PAGEFLAGS_EXTENDED that is set if pageflags are not
scarce due to SPARSEMEM using page flags for its sectionid on 32 bit NUMA
platforms.

Additional page flag definitions can be added to the CONFIG_PAGEFLAGS_EXTENDED
section in page-flags.h if the functionality depends on PAGEFLAGS_EXTENDED or
if more page flag overlapping tricks are used for the !PAGEFLAGS_EXTENDED
fallback (the upcoming virtual compound patch may hook in here and Rik's/Lee's
additional page flags to solve the reclaim issues could also be added there
[hint...  hint...  where are these patchsets?]).

Avoiding the overlaying of Pg_reclaim also clears the way for possible use of
compound pages for the pagecache or on the LRU.

Introduce a set of macros that generate functions to handle page flags.

A page flag function group typically starts with either

	SETPAGEFLAG(<part of function name>,<part of PG_ flagname>)

to create a set of page flag operations that are atomic. Or

	__SETPAGEFLAG(<part of function name>,<part of PG_ flagname)

to create a set of page flag operations that are not atomic.

Then additional operations can be added using the following macros

TESTSCFLAG		Create additional atomic test-and-set and
			test-and-clear functions

TESTSETFLAG		Create additional test and set function
TESTCLEARFLAG		Create additional test and clear function
SETPAGEFLAG		Create additional atomic set function
CLEARPAGEFLAG		Create additional atomic clear function
__TESTPAGEFLAG		Create additional non atomic set function
__SETPAGEFLAG		Create additional non atomic clear function

NR_PAGEFLAGS specifies the number of page flags we are using.  From that we
can calculate the number of bits leftover that can be used for zone, node (and
maybe the sections id).  There is no need anymore for FLAGS_RESERVED if we use
NR_PAGEFLAGS.

Use the new methods to make NR_PAGEFLAGS available via the preprocessor.
NR_PAGEFLAGS is used to calculate field boundaries in the page flags fields.
These field widths have to be available to the preprocessor.

A set of patches that attempts to improve page flag handling.  First of all a
method is introduced to generate the page flag functions using macros.  Then
the number of page flags used by sparsemem is reduced.  All page flag
operations will no longer be macros.  All flags will use inline function.

Then we add a way to export enum constants to the preprocessor which allows us
to get rid of __ZONE_COUNT and use the NR_PAGEFLAGS for the dynamic
calculation of actually available page flags for fields.

This patch:

Sparsemem vmemmap does not need any section bits.  This patch has the effect
of reducing the number of bits used in page->flags by at least 6.

Implement a new proc file that allows the display of the currently allocated
vmalloc memory.

It allows to see the users of vmalloc.  That is important if vmalloc space is
scarce (i386 for example).

And it's going to be important for the compound page fallback to vmalloc.
Many of the current users can be switched to use compound pages with fallback.
 This means that the number of users of vmalloc is reduced and page tables no
longer necessary to access the memory.  /proc/vmallocinfo allows to review how
that reduction occurs.

If memory becomes fragmented and larger order allocations are no longer
possible then /proc/vmallocinfo allows to see which compound page allocations
fell back to virtual compound pages.  That is important for new users of
virtual compound pages.  Such as order 1 stack allocation etc that may
fallback to virtual compound pages in the future.

/proc/vmallocinfo permissions are made readable-only-by-root to avoid possible
information leakage.
