      Tejun Heo 提交于
      include cleanup: Update gfp.h and slab.h includes to prepare for breaking implicit slab.h inclusion from percpu.h
      
      percpu.h is included by sched.h and module.h and thus ends up being
      included when building most .c files.  percpu.h includes slab.h which
      in turn includes gfp.h making everything defined by the two files
      universally available and complicating inclusion dependencies.
      
      percpu.h -> slab.h dependency is about to be removed.  Prepare for
      this change by updating users of gfp and slab facilities include those
      headers directly instead of assuming availability.  As this conversion
      needs to touch large number of source files, the following script is
      used as the basis of conversion.
      
        http://userweb.kernel.org/~tj/misc/slabh-sweep.py
      
      The script does the followings.
      
      * Scan files for gfp and slab usages and update includes such that
        only the necessary includes are there.  ie. if only gfp is used,
        gfp.h, if slab is used, slab.h.
      
      * When the script inserts a new include, it looks at the include
        blocks and try to put the new include such that its order conforms
        to its surrounding.  It's put in the include block which contains
        core kernel includes, in the same order that the rest are ordered -
        alphabetical, Christmas tree, rev-Xmas-tree or at the end if there
        doesn't seem to be any matching order.
      
      * If the script can't find a place to put a new include (mostly
        because the file doesn't have fitting include block), it prints out
        an error message indicating which .h file needs to be added to the
        file.
      
      The conversion was done in the following steps.
      
      1. The initial automatic conversion of all .c files updated slightly
         over 4000 files, deleting around 700 includes and adding ~480 gfp.h
         and ~3000 slab.h inclusions.  The script emitted errors for ~400
         files.
      
      2. Each error was manually checked.  Some didn't need the inclusion,
         some needed manual addition while adding it to implementation .h or
         embedding .c file was more appropriate for others.  This step added
         inclusions to around 150 files.
      
      3. The script was run again and the output was compared to the edits
         from #2 to make sure no file was left behind.
      
      4. Several build tests were done and a couple of problems were fixed.
         e.g. lib/decompress_*.c used malloc/free() wrappers around slab
         APIs requiring slab.h to be added manually.
      
      5. The script was run on all .h files but without automatically
         editing them as sprinkling gfp.h and slab.h inclusions around .h
         files could easily lead to inclusion dependency hell.  Most gfp.h
         inclusion directives were ignored as stuff from gfp.h was usually
         wildly available and often used in preprocessor macros.  Each
         slab.h inclusion directive was examined and added manually as
         necessary.
      
      6. percpu.h was updated not to include slab.h.
      
      7. Build test were done on the following configurations and failures
         were fixed.  CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL was turned off for all tests (as my
         distributed build env didn't work with gcov compiles) and a few
         more options had to be turned off depending on archs to make things
         build (like ipr on powerpc/64 which failed due to missing writeq).
      
         * x86 and x86_64 UP and SMP allmodconfig and a custom test config.
         * powerpc and powerpc64 SMP allmodconfig
         * sparc and sparc64 SMP allmodconfig
         * ia64 SMP allmodconfig
         * s390 SMP allmodconfig
         * alpha SMP allmodconfig
         * um on x86_64 SMP allmodconfig
      
      8. percpu.h modifications were reverted so that it could be applied as
         a separate patch and serve as bisection point.
      
      Given the fact that I had only a couple of failures from tests on step
      6, I'm fairly confident about the coverage of this conversion patch.
      If there is a breakage, it's likely to be something in one of the arch
      headers which should be easily discoverable easily on most builds of
      the specific arch.

      [ARM] remove memzero() · 59f0cb0f
      Russell King 提交于
      As suggested by Andrew Morton, remove memzero() - it's not supported
      on other architectures so use of it is a potential build breaking bug.
      Since the compiler optimizes memset(x,0,n) to __memzero() perfectly
      well, we don't miss out on the underlying benefits of memzero().

      [ARM] Set bit 4 on section mappings correctly depending on CPU · 8799ee9f
      Russell King 提交于
      On some CPUs, bit 4 of section mappings means "update the
      cache when written to".  On others, this bit is required to
      be one, and others it's required to be zero.  Finally, on
      ARMv6 and above, setting it turns on "no execute" and prevents
      speculative prefetches.
      
      With all these combinations, no one value fits all CPUs, so we
      have to pick a value depending on the CPU type, and the area
      we're mapping.

      [ARM] 3439/2: xsc3: add I/O coherency support · 23759dc6
      Lennert Buytenhek 提交于
      Patch from Lennert Buytenhek
      
      This patch adds support for the I/O coherent cache available on the
      xsc3.  The approach is to provide a simple API to determine whether the
      chipset supports coherency by calling arch_is_coherent() and then
      setting the appropriate system memory PTE and PMD bits.  In addition,
      we call this API on dma_alloc_coherent() and dma_map_single() calls.
      A generic version exists that will compile out all the coherency-related
      code that is not needed on the majority of ARM systems.
      
      Note that we do not check for coherency in the dma_alloc_writecombine()
      function as that still requires a special PTE setting.  We also don't
      touch dma_mmap_coherent() as that is a special ARM-only API that is by
      definition only used on non-coherent system.

      [ARM] 3377/2: add support for intel xsc3 core · 23bdf86a
      Lennert Buytenhek 提交于
      Patch from Lennert Buytenhek
      
      This patch adds support for the new XScale v3 core.  This is an
      ARMv5 ISA core with the following additions:
      
      - L2 cache
      - I/O coherency support (on select chipsets)
      - Low-Locality Reference cache attributes (replaces mini-cache)
      - Supersections (v6 compatible)
      - 36-bit addressing (v6 compatible)
      - Single instruction cache line clean/invalidate
      - LRU cache replacement (vs round-robin)
      
      I attempted to merge the XSC3 support into proc-xscale.S, but XSC3
      cores have separate errata and have to handle things like L2, so it
      is simpler to keep it separate.
      
      L2 cache support is currently a build option because the L2 enable
      bit must be set before we enable the MMU and there is no easy way to
      capture command line parameters at this point.
      
      There are still optimizations that can be done such as using LLR for
      copypage (in theory using the exisiting mini-cache code) but those
      can be addressed down the road.

      [PATCH] mm: split page table lock · 4c21e2f2
      Hugh Dickins 提交于
      Christoph Lameter demonstrated very poor scalability on the SGI 512-way, with
      a many-threaded application which concurrently initializes different parts of
      a large anonymous area.
      
      This patch corrects that, by using a separate spinlock per page table page, to
      guard the page table entries in that page, instead of using the mm's single
      page_table_lock.  (But even then, page_table_lock is still used to guard page
      table allocation, and anon_vma allocation.)
      
      In this implementation, the spinlock is tucked inside the struct page of the
      page table page: with a BUILD_BUG_ON in case it overflows - which it would in
      the case of 32-bit PA-RISC with spinlock debugging enabled.
      
      Splitting the lock is not quite for free: another cacheline access.  Ideally,
      I suppose we would use split ptlock only for multi-threaded processes on
      multi-cpu machines; but deciding that dynamically would have its own costs.
      So for now enable it by config, at some number of cpus - since the Kconfig
      language doesn't support inequalities, let preprocessor compare that with
      NR_CPUS.  But I don't think it's worth being user-configurable: for good
      testing of both split and unsplit configs, split now at 4 cpus, and perhaps
      change that to 8 later.
      
      There is a benefit even for singly threaded processes: kswapd can be attacking
      one part of the mm while another part is busy faulting.

      [PATCH] mm: arches skip ptlock · b462705a
      Hugh Dickins 提交于
      Convert those few architectures which are calling pud_alloc, pmd_alloc,
      pte_alloc_map on a user mm, not to take the page_table_lock first, nor drop it
      after.  Each of these can continue to use pte_alloc_map, no need to change
      over to pte_alloc_map_lock, they're neither racy nor swappable.
      
      In the sparc64 io_remap_pfn_range, flush_tlb_range then falls outside of the
      page_table_lock: that's okay, on sparc64 it's like flush_tlb_mm, and that has
      always been called from outside of page_table_lock in dup_mmap.

      [ARM] 2853/1: Make alloc_init_supersection() work with 36-bit mappings · 083bc6b3
      Deepak Saxena 提交于
      Patch from Deepak Saxena
      
      Working on adding support for 36-bit static mappings for ARMv6 and
      Intel's XSC3 core and noticed that alloc_init_supersection currently
      increments the phys addr by 1MB on each of the 16 iterations and then
      forces alignment to supersection size (16MB).  This is really uneeded
      b/c we have already forced the phys address to be 16MB aligned in
      create_mapping(). Furthermore, this breaks 36-bit addressing b/c bits
      [23:20] of the PMD contain bits [35:32] of the physical address and
      the masking causes us to loose those bits thus ending up with an
      incorrect virt -> phys translation.  The other option is to have an
      alloc_init_supersection36.
      Tested on Intel IXP2350 CPU with 36-bit static I/O mappings.
