Steven Rostedt reported that we are unconditionally making the kernel text mapping as read-only. i.e., if someone does cpa() to the kernel text area for setting/clearing any page table attribute, we unconditionally clear the read-write attribute for the kernel text mapping that is set at compile time. We should delay (to forbid the write attribute) and enforce only after the kernel has mapped the text as read-only.

The commit 74e08179 x86-64: align RODATA kernel section to 2MB with CONFIG_DEBUG_RODATA prevents text sections from becoming read/write using set_memory_rw. The dynamic ftrace changes all text pages to read/write just before converting the calls to tracing to nops, and vice versa. I orginally just added a flag to allow this transaction when ftrace did the change, but I also found that when the CPA testing was running it would remove the read/write as well, and ftrace does not do the text conversion on boot up, and the CPA changes caused the dynamic tracer to fail on self tests. The current solution I have is to simply not to prevent change_page_attr from setting the RW bit for kernel text pages.

CONFIG_DEBUG_RODATA chops the large pages spanning boundaries of kernel text/rodata/data to small 4KB pages as they are mapped with different attributes (text as RO, RODATA as RO and NX etc). On x86_64, preserve the large page mappings for kernel text/rodata/data boundaries when CONFIG_DEBUG_RODATA is enabled. This is done by allowing the RODATA section to be hugepage aligned and having same RWX attributes for the 2MB page boundaries Extra Memory pages padding the sections will be freed during the end of the boot and the kernel identity mappings will have different RWX permissions compared to the kernel text mappings. Kernel identity mappings to these physical pages will be mapped with smaller pages but large page mappings are still retained for kernel text,rodata,data mappings.

In the first 2MB, kernel text is co-located with kernel static page tables setup by head_64.S. CONFIG_DEBUG_RODATA chops this 2MB large page mapping to small 4KB pages as we mark the kernel text as RO, leaving the static page tables as RW. With CONFIG_DEBUG_RODATA disabled, OLTP run on NHM-EP shows 1% improvement with 2% reduction in system time and 1% improvement in iowait idle time. To recover this, move the kernel static page tables to .data section, so that we don't have to break the first 2MB of kernel text to small pages with CONFIG_DEBUG_RODATA.

Add interleaved NUMA emulation support This patch interleaves emulated nodes over the system's physical nodes. This is required for interleave optimizations since mempolicies, for example, operate by iterating over a nodemask and act without knowledge of node distances. It can also be used for testing memory latencies and NUMA bugs in the kernel. There're a couple of ways to do this: - divide the number of emulated nodes by the number of physical nodes and allocate the result on each physical node, or - allocate each successive emulated node on a different physical node until all memory is exhausted. The disadvantage of the first option is, depending on the asymmetry in node capacities of each physical node, emulated nodes may substantially differ in size on a particular physical node compared to another. The disadvantage of the second option is, also depending on the asymmetry in node capacities of each physical node, there may be more emulated nodes allocated on a single physical node as another. This patch implements the second option; we sacrifice the possibility that we may have slightly more emulated nodes on a particular physical node compared to another in lieu of node size asymmetry. [ Note that "node capacity" of a physical node is not only a function of its addressable range, but also is affected by subtracting out the amount of reserved memory over that range. NUMA emulation only deals with available, non-reserved memory quantities. ] We ensure there is at least a minimal amount of available memory allocated to each node. We also make sure that at least this amount of available memory is available in ZONE_DMA32 for any node that includes both ZONE_DMA32 and ZONE_NORMAL. This patch also cleans the emulation code up by no longer passing the statically allocated struct bootnode array among the various functions. This init.data array is not allocated on the stack since it may be very large and thus it may be accessed at file scope. The WARN_ON() for nodes_cover_memory() when faking proximity domains is removed since it relies on successive nodes always having greater start addresses than previous nodes; with interleaving this is no longer always true.

This is the counterpart to "x86: export k8 physical topology" for SRAT. It is not as invasive because the acpi code already seperates node setup into detection and registration steps, with the exception of registering e820 active regions in acpi_numa_memory_affinity_init(). This is now moved to acpi_scan_nodes() if NUMA emulation is disabled or deferred. acpi_numa_init() now returns a value which specifies whether an underlying SRAT was located. If so, that topology can be used by the emulation code to interleave emulated nodes over physical nodes or to register the nodes for ACPI. acpi_get_nodes() may now be used to export the srat physical topology of the machine for NUMA emulation.

To eventually interleave emulated nodes over physical nodes, we need to know the physical topology of the machine without actually registering it. This does the k8 node setup in two parts: detection and registration. NUMA emulation can then used the physical topology detected to setup the address ranges of emulated nodes accordingly. If emulation isn't used, the k8 nodes are registered as normal. Two formals are added to the x86 NUMA setup functions: `acpi' and `k8'. These represent whether ACPI or K8 NUMA has been detected; both cannot be true at the same time. This specifies to the NUMA emulation code whether an underlying physical NUMA topology exists and which interface to use. This patch deals solely with separating the k8 setup path into Northbridge detection and registration steps and leaves the ACPI changes for a subsequent patch. The `acpi' formal is added here, however, to avoid touching all the header files again in the next patch. This approach also ensures emulated nodes will not span physical nodes so the true memory latency is not misrepresented. k8_get_nodes() may now be used to export the k8 physical topology of the machine for NUMA emulation.

Currently, we've got the less than ideal situation where if we need to allocate a 256MB mapping we'll allocate four entries like so, entry 1: 128MB entry 2: 64MB entry 3: 16MB entry 4: 16MB This is because as we execute the loop in pmb_remap() we will progressively try mapping the remaining address space with smaller and smaller sizes. This isn't good because the size we use on one iteration may be the perfect size to use on the next iteration, for instance when the initial size is divisible by one of the PMB mapping sizes. With this patch, we now only need two entries in the PMB to map 256MB of address space, entry 1: 128MB entry 2: 128MB Signed-off-by: NMatt Fleming <matt@console-pimps.org> Signed-off-by: NPaul Mundt <lethal@linux-sh.org>

Now that range timers and deferred timers are common, I found a problem with these using the "perf timechart" tool. Frans Pop also reported high scheduler latencies via LatencyTop, when using iwlagn. It turns out that on x86, these two 'opportunistic' timers only get checked when another "real" timer happens. These opportunistic timers have the objective to save power by hitchhiking on other wakeups, as to avoid CPU wakeups by themselves as much as possible. The change in this patch runs this check not only at timer interrupts, but at all (device) interrupts. The effect is that: 1) the deferred timers/range timers get delayed less 2) the range timers cause less wakeups by themselves because the percentage of hitchhiking on existing wakeup events goes up. I've verified the working of the patch using "perf timechart", the original exposed bug is gone with this patch. Frans also reported success - the latencies are now down in the expected ~10 msec range.

The patch added a special get_unmapped_area for framebuffer which was hooked to the file ops in drivers/video/fbmem.c. This is needed since v2.6.29-rc1 where nommu vma management was updated, and mmap of framebuffer caused kernel BUG panic. You may turn on "Debug the global anon/private NOMMU mapping region tree" config to such message. As Documentation/nommu-mmap.txt said, "To provide shareable character device support, a driver must provide a file->f_op->get_unmapped_area() operation. The mmap() routines will call this to get a proposed address for the mapping." With this change, user space should call mmap for framebuffer using shared map. Or it can try shared map first, then private map if failed. This shared map usage is now consistent between mmu and nommu. The sys_ file may not be a good place for this patch. But there is a similar one for sparc. I tested a similar patch on nios2nommu, though I don't have a blackfin board to test.
