      parisc: fix usage of 32bit PTE page table entries on 32bit kernels · 48d27cb2
      Helge Deller 提交于
      This patch fixes a long outstanding bug on 32bit parisc linux kernels
      which prevented us from using 32bit PTE table entries (instead of 64bit
      entries of which 32bit were unused).
      
      The problem was caused by this assembler statement in the L2_ptep
      macro in arch/parisc/kernel/entry.S:447:
      	EXTR \va,31-ASM_PGDIR_SHIFT,ASM_BITS_PER_PGD,\index
      which expanded to
      	extrw,u r8,9,11,r1
      and which has undefined behavior since the length value (11) extends
      beyond the leftmost bit (11-1 > 9).
      Interestingly PA2.0 processors seem to don't care and just zero-extend
      the value, while PA1.1 processors don't.
      
      Fix this problem by detecting an address space overflow with ASM_BITS_PER_PGD
      and adjusting it accordingly. To prevent such problems in the future,
      some compile time sanity checks in arch/parisc/mm/init.c were added.
      
      Since the page table now only consumes half of it's old size, we can
      use the freed memory to harmonize 32- and 64bit kernels and let both
      map 16MB for the initial page table.

      parisc: fix kernel crash (protection id trap) when compiling ruby1.9 · c61c25eb

      Honestly, I can't decide whether to apply this. It really should never
      happen in the kernel, since the kernel can guarantee it won't get the
      access rights failure (highest privilege level, and can set %sr and
      %protid to whatever it wants.)
      
      It really genuinely is a bug that probably should panic the kernel. The
      only precedent I can easily see is x86 fixing up a bad iret with a
      general protection fault, which is more or less analogous to code 27
      here.
      
      On the other hand, taking the exception on a userspace access really
      isn't all that critical, and there's fundamentally little reason for the
      kernel not to SIGSEGV the process, and continue...
      
      Argh.
      
      (btw, I've instrumented my do_sys_poll with a pile of assertions that
       %cr8 << 1 == %sr3 == current->mm.context... let's see if where we're
       getting corrupted is deterministic, though, I would guess that it won't
       be.)

      mm: have zonelist contains structs with both a zone pointer and zone_idx · dd1a239f
      Mel Gorman 提交于
      Filtering zonelists requires very frequent use of zone_idx().  This is costly
      as it involves a lookup of another structure and a substraction operation.  As
      the zone_idx is often required, it should be quickly accessible.  The node idx
      could also be stored here if it was found that accessing zone->node is
      significant which may be the case on workloads where nodemasks are heavily
      used.
      
      This patch introduces a struct zoneref to store a zone pointer and a zone
      index.  The zonelist then consists of an array of these struct zonerefs which
      are looked up as necessary.  Helpers are given for accessing the zone index as
      well as the node index.

      mm: use two zonelist that are filtered by GFP mask · 54a6eb5c
      Mel Gorman 提交于
      Currently a node has two sets of zonelists, one for each zone type in the
      system and a second set for GFP_THISNODE allocations.  Based on the zones
      allowed by a gfp mask, one of these zonelists is selected.  All of these
      zonelists consume memory and occupy cache lines.
      
      This patch replaces the multiple zonelists per-node with two zonelists.  The
      first contains all populated zones in the system, ordered by distance, for
      fallback allocations when the target/preferred node has no free pages.  The
      second contains all populated zones in the node suitable for GFP_THISNODE
      allocations.
      
      An iterator macro is introduced called for_each_zone_zonelist() that interates
      through each zone allowed by the GFP flags in the selected zonelist.

      Introduce flags for reserve_bootmem() · 72a7fe39
      Bernhard Walle 提交于
      This patchset adds a flags variable to reserve_bootmem() and uses the
      BOOTMEM_EXCLUSIVE flag in crashkernel reservation code to detect collisions
      between crashkernel area and already used memory.
      
      This patch:
      
      Change the reserve_bootmem() function to accept a new flag BOOTMEM_EXCLUSIVE.
      If that flag is set, the function returns with -EBUSY if the memory already
      has been reserved in the past.  This is to avoid conflicts.
      
      Because that code runs before SMP initialisation, there's no race condition
      inside reserve_bootmem_core().

      During VM oom condition, kill all threads in process group · dcca2bde
      Will Schmidt 提交于
      We have had complaints where a threaded application is left in a bad state
      after one of it's threads is killed when we hit a VM: out_of_memory
      condition.
      
      Killing just one of the process threads can leave the application in a bad
      state, whereas killing the entire process group would allow for the
      application to restart, or be otherwise handled, and makes it very obvious
      that something has gone wrong.
      
      This change allows the entire process group to be taken down, rather
      than just the one thread.

      This patch completes Linus's wish that the fault return codes be made into
      bit flags, which I agree makes everything nicer.  This requires requires
      all handle_mm_fault callers to be modified (possibly the modifications
      should go further and do things like fault accounting in handle_mm_fault --
      however that would be for another patch).
