Most LM75-compatible chips can either sample much faster or with a much better resolution than the original LM75 chip. So far the lm75 driver did not let the user take benefit of these improvements. Do it now. I decided to almost always configure the chip to use the best resolution possible, which also means the longest sample time. The only chips for which I didn't are the DS75, DS1775 and STDS75, because they are really too slow in 12-bit mode (1.2 to 1.5 second worst case) so I went for 11-bit mode as a more reasonable tradeoff. This choice is dictated by the fact that the hwmon subsystem is meant for system monitoring, it has never been supposed to be ultra-fast, and as a matter of fact we do cache the sampled values in almost all drivers. If anyone isn't pleased with these default settings, they can always introduce a platform data structure or DT support for the lm75. That being said, it seems nobody ever complained that the driver wouldn't refresh the value faster than every 1.5 second, and the change made it faster for all chips even in 12-bit mode, so I don't expect any complaint.

For debugging purposes, it is useful to have a name-string added while exporting buffers. Hence, dma_buf_export() is replaced with dma_buf_export_named(), which additionally takes 'exp_name' as a parameter. For backward compatibility, and for lazy exporters who don't wish to name themselves, a #define dma_buf_export() is also made available, which adds a __FILE__ instead of 'exp_name'.

print_symbol takes a long and converts it to a function name and offset. %pS does something similar, but doesn't translate the address via __builtin_extract_return_addr. %pSR does the translation.

This mode was selected through the platform data, but it can be chosen by the driver internally without platform data configuration. How to decide the control mode: If the PWM period has specific value, the mode is PWM input. On the other hand, the mode is register-based. This mode selection is done on the _probe().

This driver requests and remaps a memory region as configured in the device tree. It serves memory from this region via the genalloc API. It optionally enables the SRAM clock. Other drivers can retrieve the genalloc pool from a phandle pointing to this drivers' device node in the device tree. The allocation granularity is hard-coded to 32 bytes for now, to make the SRAM driver useful for the 6502 remoteproc driver. There is overhead for bigger SRAMs, where only a much coarser allocation granularity is needed: At 32 bytes minimum allocation size, a 256 KiB SRAM needs a 1 KiB bitmap to track allocations.

由 Anton Vorontsov 提交于
With this patch userland applications that want to maintain the interactivity/memory allocation cost can use the pressure level notifications. The levels are defined like this: The "low" level means that the system is reclaiming memory for new allocations. Monitoring this reclaiming activity might be useful for maintaining cache level. Upon notification, the program (typically "Activity Manager") might analyze vmstat and act in advance (i.e. prematurely shutdown unimportant services). The "medium" level means that the system is experiencing medium memory pressure, the system might be making swap, paging out active file caches, etc. Upon this event applications may decide to further analyze vmstat/zoneinfo/memcg or internal memory usage statistics and free any resources that can be easily reconstructed or re-read from a disk. The "critical" level means that the system is actively thrashing, it is about to out of memory (OOM) or even the in-kernel OOM killer is on its way to trigger. Applications should do whatever they can to help the system. It might be too late to consult with vmstat or any other statistics, so it's advisable to take an immediate action. The events are propagated upward until the event is handled, i.e. the events are not pass-through. Here is what this means: for example you have three cgroups: A->B->C. Now you set up an event listener on cgroups A, B and C, and suppose group C experiences some pressure. In this situation, only group C will receive the notification, i.e. groups A and B will not receive it. This is done to avoid excessive "broadcasting" of messages, which disturbs the system and which is especially bad if we are low on memory or thrashing. So, organize the cgroups wisely, or propagate the events manually (or, ask us to implement the pass-through events, explaining why would you need them.) Performance wise, the memory pressure notifications feature itself is lightweight and does not require much of bookkeeping, in contrast to the rest of memcg features. Unfortunately, as of current memcg implementation, pages accounting is an inseparable part and cannot be turned off. The good news is that there are some efforts[1] to improve the situation; plus, implementing the same, fully API-compatible[2] interface for CONFIG_MEMCG=n case (e.g. embedded) is also a viable option, so it will not require any changes on the userland side.

Add an admin_reserve_kbytes knob to allow admins to change the hardcoded memory reserve to something other than 3%, which may be multiple gigabytes on large memory systems. Only about 8MB is necessary to enable recovery in the default mode, and only a few hundred MB are required even when overcommit is disabled. This affects OVERCOMMIT_GUESS and OVERCOMMIT_NEVER. admin_reserve_kbytes is initialized to min(3% free pages, 8MB) I arrived at 8MB by summing the RSS of sshd or login, bash, and top.

Add user_reserve_kbytes knob. Limit the growth of the memory reserved for other user processes to min(3% current process size, user_reserve_pages). Only about 8MB is necessary to enable recovery in the default mode, and only a few hundred MB are required even when overcommit is disabled. user_reserve_pages defaults to min(3% free pages, 128MB) I arrived at 128MB by taking the max VSZ of sshd, login, bash, and top ... then adding the RSS of each. This only affects OVERCOMMIT_NEVER mode. Background 1. user reserve __vm_enough_memory reserves a hardcoded 3% of the current process size for other applications when overcommit is disabled. This was done so that a user could recover if they launched a memory hogging process. Without the reserve, a user would easily run into a message such as: bash: fork: Cannot allocate memory 2. admin reserve Additionally, a hardcoded 3% of free memory is reserved for root in both overcommit 'guess' and 'never' modes. This was intended to prevent a scenario where root-cant-log-in and perform recovery operations. Note that this reserve shrinks, and doesn't guarantee a useful reserve. Motivation The two hardcoded memory reserves should be updated to account for current memory sizes. Also, the admin reserve would be more useful if it didn't shrink too much. When the current code was originally written, 1GB was considered "enterprise". Now the 3% reserve can grow to multiple GB on large memory systems, and it only needs to be a few hundred MB at most to enable a user or admin to recover a system with an unwanted memory hogging process. I've found that reducing these reserves is especially beneficial for a specific type of application load: * single application system * one or few processes (e.g. one per core) * allocating all available memory * not initializing every page immediately * long running I've run scientific clusters with this sort of load. A long running job sometimes failed many hours (weeks of CPU time) into a calculation. They weren't initializing all of their memory immediately, and they weren't using calloc, so I put systems into overcommit 'never' mode. These clusters run diskless and have no swap. However, with the current reserves, a user wishing to allocate as much memory as possible to one process may be prevented from using, for example, almost 2GB out of 32GB. The effect is less, but still significant when a user starts a job with one process per core. I have repeatedly seen a set of processes requesting the same amount of memory fail because one of them could not allocate the amount of memory a user would expect to be able to allocate. For example, Message Passing Interfce (MPI) processes, one per core. And it is similar for other parallel programming frameworks. Changing this reserve code will make the overcommit never mode more useful by allowing applications to allocate nearly all of the available memory. Also, the new admin_reserve_kbytes will be safer than the current behavior since the hardcoded 3% of available memory reserve can shrink to something useless in the case where applications have grabbed all available memory. Risks * "bash: fork: Cannot allocate memory" The downside of the first patch-- which creates a tunable user reserve that is only used in overcommit 'never' mode--is that an admin can set it so low that a user may not be able to kill their process, even if they already have a shell prompt. Of course, a user can get in the same predicament with the current 3% reserve--they just have to launch processes until 3% becomes negligible. * root-cant-log-in problem The second patch, adding the tunable rootuser_reserve_pages, allows the admin to shoot themselves in the foot by setting it too small. They can easily get the system into a state where root-can't-log-in. However, the new admin_reserve_kbytes will be safer than the current behavior since the hardcoded 3% of available memory reserve can shrink to something useless in the case where applications have grabbed all available memory. Alternatives * Memory cgroups provide a more flexible way to limit application memory. Not everyone wants to set up cgroups or deal with their overhead. * We could create a fourth overcommit mode which provides smaller reserves. The size of useful reserves may be drastically different depending on the whether the system is embedded or enterprise. * Force users to initialize all of their memory or use calloc. Some users don't want/expect the system to overcommit when they malloc. Overcommit 'never' mode is for this scenario, and it should work well. The new user and admin reserve tunables are simple to use, with low overhead compared to cgroups. The patches preserve current behavior where 3% of memory is less than 128MB, except that the admin reserve doesn't shrink to an unusable size under pressure. The code allows admins to tune for embedded and enterprise usage. FAQ * How is the root-cant-login problem addressed? What happens if admin_reserve_pages is set to 0? Root is free to shoot themselves in the foot by setting admin_reserve_kbytes too low. On x86_64, the minimum useful reserve is: 8MB for overcommit 'guess' 128MB for overcommit 'never' admin_reserve_pages defaults to min(3% free memory, 8MB) So, anyone switching to 'never' mode needs to adjust admin_reserve_pages. * How do you calculate a minimum useful reserve? A user or the admin needs enough memory to login and perform recovery operations, which includes, at a minimum: sshd or login + bash (or some other shell) + top (or ps, kill, etc.) For overcommit 'guess', we can sum resident set sizes (RSS) because we only need enough memory to handle what the recovery programs will typically use. On x86_64 this is about 8MB. For overcommit 'never', we can take the max of their virtual sizes (VSZ) and add the sum of their RSS. We use VSZ instead of RSS because mode forces us to ensure we can fulfill all of the requested memory allocations-- even if the programs only use a fraction of what they ask for. On x86_64 this is about 128MB. When swap is enabled, reserves are useful even when they are as small as 10MB, regardless of overcommit mode. When both swap and overcommit are disabled, then the admin should tune the reserves higher to be absolutley safe. Over 230MB each was safest in my testing. * What happens if user_reserve_pages is set to 0? Note, this only affects overcomitt 'never' mode. Then a user will be able to allocate all available memory minus admin_reserve_kbytes. However, they will easily see a message such as: "bash: fork: Cannot allocate memory" And they won't be able to recover/kill their application. The admin should be able to recover the system if admin_reserve_kbytes is set appropriately. * What's the difference between overcommit 'guess' and 'never'? "Guess" allows an allocation if there are enough free + reclaimable pages. It has a hardcoded 3% of free pages reserved for root. "Never" allows an allocation if there is enough swap + a configurable percentage (default is 50) of physical RAM. It has a hardcoded 3% of free pages reserved for root, like "Guess" mode. It also has a hardcoded 3% of the current process size reserved for additional applications. * Why is overcommit 'guess' not suitable even when an app eventually writes to every page? It takes free pages, file pages, available swap pages, reclaimable slab pages into consideration. In other words, these are all pages available, then why isn't overcommit suitable? Because it only looks at the present state of the system. It does not take into account the memory that other applications have malloced, but haven't initialized yet. It overcommits the system. Test Summary There was little change in behavior in the default overcommit 'guess' mode with swap enabled before and after the patch. This was expected. Systems run most predictably (i.e. no oom kills) in overcommit 'never' mode with swap enabled. This also allowed the most memory to be allocated to a user application. Overcommit 'guess' mode without swap is a bad idea. It is easy to crash the system. None of the other tested combinations crashed. This matches my experience on the Roadrunner supercomputer. Without the tunable user reserve, a system in overcommit 'never' mode and without swap does not allow the admin to recover, although the admin can. With the new tunable reserves, a system in overcommit 'never' mode and without swap can be configured to: 1. maximize user-allocatable memory, running close to the edge of recoverability 2. maximize recoverability, sacrificing allocatable memory to ensure that a user cannot take down a system Test Description Fedora 18 VM - 4 x86_64 cores, 5725MB RAM, 4GB Swap System is booted into multiuser console mode, with unnecessary services turned off.

The Gssproxy program is used to perform the accept_sec_context call on the kernel's behalf. The code is changed to also pass the input buffer straight to upcall mechanism to avoid allocating and copying many pages as tokens can be as big (potentially more in future) as 64KiB.

This patch adds a simple low-level voting mutex implementation to be used to arbitrate during first man selection when no load/store exclusive instructions are usable. For want of a better name, these are called "vlocks". (I was tempted to call them ballot locks, but "block" is way too confusing an abbreviation...) There is no function to wait for the lock to be released, and no vlock_lock() function since we don't need these at the moment. These could straightforwardly be added if vlocks get used for other purposes. For architectural correctness even Strongly-Ordered memory accesses require barriers in order to guarantee that multiple CPUs have a coherent view of the ordering of memory accesses. Whether or not this matters depends on hardware implementation details of the memory system. Since the purpose of this code is to provide a clean, generic locking mechanism with no platform-specific dependencies the barriers should be present to avoid unpleasant surprises on future platforms. Note: * When taking the lock, we don't care about implicit background memory operations and other signalling which may be pending, because those are not part of the critical section anyway. A DMB is sufficient to ensure correctly observed ordering if the explicit memory accesses in vlock_trylock. * No barrier is required after checking the election result, because the result is determined by the store to VLOCK_OWNER_OFFSET and is already globally observed due to the barriers in voting_end. This means that global agreement on the winner is guaranteed, even before the winner is known locally.

This provides helper methods to coordinate between CPUs coming down and CPUs going up, as well as documentation on the used algorithms, so that cluster teardown and setup operations are not done for a cluster simultaneously. For use in the power_down() implementation: * __mcpm_cpu_going_down(unsigned int cluster, unsigned int cpu) * __mcpm_outbound_enter_critical(unsigned int cluster) * __mcpm_outbound_leave_critical(unsigned int cluster) * __mcpm_cpu_down(unsigned int cluster, unsigned int cpu) The power_up_setup() helper should do platform-specific setup in preparation for turning the CPU on, such as invalidating local caches or entering coherency. It must be assembler for now, since it must run before the MMU can be switched on. It is passed the affinity level for which initialization should be performed. Because the mcpm_sync_struct content is looked-up and modified with the cache enabled or disabled depending on the code path, it is crucial to always ensure proper cache maintenance to update main memory right away. The sync_cache_*() helpers are used to that end. Also, in order to prevent a cached writer from interfering with an adjacent non-cached writer, we ensure each state variable is located to a separate cache line. Thanks to Nicolas Pitre and Achin Gupta for the help with this patch.

DM RAID: Add message/status support for changing sync action This patch adds a message interface to dm-raid to allow the user to more finely control the sync actions being performed by the MD driver. This gives the user the ability to initiate "check" and "repair" (i.e. scrubbing). Two additional fields have been appended to the status output to provide more information about the type of sync action occurring and the results of those actions, specifically: <sync_action> and <mismatch_cnt>. These new fields will always be populated. This is essentially the device-mapper way of doing what MD controls through the 'sync_action' sysfs file and shows through the 'mismatch_cnt' sysfs file.

The usual scheme to initialize a cpuidle driver on a SMP is: cpuidle_register_driver(drv); for_each_possible_cpu(cpu) { device = &per_cpu(cpuidle_dev, cpu); cpuidle_register_device(device); } This code is duplicated in each cpuidle driver. On UP systems, it is done this way: cpuidle_register_driver(drv); device = &per_cpu(cpuidle_dev, cpu); cpuidle_register_device(device); On UP, the macro 'for_each_cpu' does one iteration: #define for_each_cpu(cpu, mask) \ for ((cpu) = 0; (cpu) < 1; (cpu)++, (void)mask) Hence, the initialization loop is the same for UP than SMP. Beside, we saw different bugs / mis-initialization / return code unchecked in the different drivers, the code is duplicated including bugs. After fixing all these ones, it appears the initialization pattern is the same for everyone. Please note, some drivers are doing dev->state_count = drv->state_count. This is not necessary because it is done by the cpuidle_enable_device function in the cpuidle framework. This is true, until you have the same states for all your devices. Otherwise, the 'low level' API should be used instead with the specific initialization for the driver. Let's add a wrapper function doing this initialization with a cpumask parameter for the coupled idle states and use it for all the drivers. That will save a lot of LOC, consolidate the code, and the modifications in the future could be done in a single place. Another benefit is the consolidation of the cpuidle_device variable which is now in the cpuidle framework and no longer spread accross the different arch specific drivers.

This adds new debug feature information so that the DAWR can be identified by userspace tools like GDB. Unfortunately the DAWR doesn't sit nicely into the current description that ptrace provides to userspace via struct ppc_debug_info. It doesn't allow for specifying that only some ranges are possible or even the end alignment constraints (DAWR only allows 512 byte wide ranges which can't cross a 512 byte boundary). After talking to Edjunior Machado (GDB ppc developer), it was decided this was the best approach. Just mark it as debug feature DAWR and tools like GDB can internally decide the constraints.
