This patch enabled the tlb flush range support in generic mmu layer. Most of arch has self tlb flush range support, like ARM/IA64 etc. X86 arch has no this support in hardware yet. But another instruction 'invlpg' can implement this function in some degree. So, enable this feather in generic layer for x86 now. and maybe useful for other archs in further. Generic mmu_gather struct is protected by micro HAVE_GENERIC_MMU_GATHER. Other archs that has flush range supported own self mmu_gather struct. So, now this change is safe for them. In future we may unify this struct and related functions on multiple archs. Thanks for Peter Zijlstra time and time reminder for multiple architecture code safe!

Testing show different CPU type(micro architectures and NUMA mode) has different balance points between the TLB flush all and multiple invlpg. And there also has cases the tlb flush change has no any help. This patch give a interface to let x86 vendor developers have a chance to set different shift for different CPU type. like some machine in my hands, balance points is 16 entries on Romely-EP; while it is at 8 entries on Bloomfield NHM-EP; and is 256 on IVB mobile CPU. but on model 15 core2 Xeon using invlpg has nothing help. For untested machine, do a conservative optimization, same as NHM CPU.

We don't need to flush large pages by PAGE_SIZE step, that just waste time. and actually, large page don't need 'invlpg' optimizing according to our micro benchmark. So, just flush whole TLB is enough for them. The following result is tested on a 2CPU * 4cores * 2HT NHM EP machine, with THP 'always' setting. Multi-thread testing, '-t' paramter is thread number: without this patch with this patch ./mprotect -t 1 14ns 13ns ./mprotect -t 2 13ns 13ns ./mprotect -t 4 12ns 11ns ./mprotect -t 8 14ns 10ns ./mprotect -t 16 28ns 28ns ./mprotect -t 32 54ns 52ns ./mprotect -t 128 200ns 200ns Signed-off-by: NAlex Shi <alex.shi@intel.com> Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1340845344-27557-4-git-send-email-alex.shi@intel.comSigned-off-by: NH.

x86 has no flush_tlb_range support in instruction level. Currently the flush_tlb_range just implemented by flushing all page table. That is not the best solution for all scenarios. In fact, if we just use 'invlpg' to flush few lines from TLB, we can get the performance gain from later remain TLB lines accessing. But the 'invlpg' instruction costs much of time. Its execution time can compete with cr3 rewriting, and even a bit more on SNB CPU. So, on a 512 4KB TLB entries CPU, the balance points is at: (512 - X) * 100ns(assumed TLB refill cost) = X(TLB flush entries) * 100ns(assumed invlpg cost) Here, X is 256, that is 1/2 of 512 entries. But with the mysterious CPU pre-fetcher and page miss handler Unit, the assumed TLB refill cost is far lower then 100ns in sequential access. And 2 HT siblings in one core makes the memory access more faster if they are accessing the same memory. So, in the patch, I just do the change when the target entries is less than 1/16 of whole active tlb entries. Actually, I have no data support for the percentage '1/16', so any suggestions are welcomed. As to hugetlb, guess due to smaller page table, and smaller active TLB entries, I didn't see benefit via my benchmark, so no optimizing now. My micro benchmark show in ideal scenarios, the performance improves 70 percent in reading. And in worst scenario, the reading/writing performance is similar with unpatched 3.4-rc4 kernel. Here is the reading data on my 2P * 4cores *HT NHM EP machine, with THP 'always': multi thread testing, '-t' paramter is thread number: with patch unpatched 3.4-rc4 ./mprotect -t 1 14ns 24ns ./mprotect -t 2 13ns 22ns ./mprotect -t 4 12ns 19ns ./mprotect -t 8 14ns 16ns ./mprotect -t 16 28ns 26ns ./mprotect -t 32 54ns 51ns ./mprotect -t 128 200ns 199ns Single process with sequencial flushing and memory accessing: with patch unpatched 3.4-rc4 ./mprotect 7ns 11ns ./mprotect -p 4096 -l 8 -n 10240 21ns 21ns [ hpa: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1B4B44D9196EFF41AE41FDA404FC0A100BFF94@SHSMSX101.ccr.corp.intel.com has additional performance numbers. ] Signed-off-by: NAlex Shi <alex.shi@intel.com> Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1340845344-27557-3-git-send-email-alex.shi@intel.comSigned-off-by: NH.

For 4KB pages, x86 CPU has 2 or 1 level TLB, first level is data TLB and instruction TLB, second level is shared TLB for both data and instructions. For hupe page TLB, usually there is just one level and seperated by 2MB/4MB and 1GB. Although each levels TLB size is important for performance tuning, but for genernal and rude optimizing, last level TLB entry number is suitable. And in fact, last level TLB always has the biggest entry number. This patch will get the biggest TLB entry number and use it in furture TLB optimizing. Accroding Borislav's suggestion, except tlb_ll[i/d]_* array, other function and data will be released after system boot up. For all kinds of x86 vendor friendly, vendor specific code was moved to its specific files.

Add "read-mostly" qualifier to the following variables in smp.h: - cpu_sibling_map - cpu_core_map - cpu_llc_shared_map - cpu_llc_id - cpu_number - x86_cpu_to_apicid - x86_bios_cpu_apicid - x86_cpu_to_logical_apicid As long as all the variables above are only written during the initialization, this change is meant to prevent the false sharing. More specifically, on vSMP Foundation platform x86_cpu_to_apicid shared the same internode_cache_line with frequently written lapic_events. From the analysis of the first 33 per_cpu variables out of 219 (memories they describe, to be more specific) the 8 have read_mostly nature (tlb_vector_offset, cpu_loops_per_jiffy, xen_debug_irq, etc.) and 25 are frequently written (irq_stack_union, gdt_page, exception_stacks, idt_desc, etc.). Assuming that the spread of the rest of the per_cpu variables is similar, identifying the read mostly memories will make more sense in terms of long-term code maintenance comparing to identifying frequently written memories.

This reverts commit 9e612a00. It incorrectly finds VGA connectors where none are attached, apparently not noticing that nothing replied to the EDID queries, and happily using the default EDID modes that have nothing to do with actual hardware. That in turn then causes X to fall down to the lowest common denominator, which is usually the default 1024x768 mode that is in the default EDID and pretty much anything supports). I'd suggest that if not relying on the HDP pin, the code should at least check whether it gets valid EDID data back, rather than just assume there's something on the VGA connector.

This reverts commit 7732a557 (and commit 3f50fff4, which was a follow-up cleanup). We're chasing an elusive bug that Dave Jones can apparently reproduce using his system call fuzzer tool, and that looks like some kind of locking ordering problem on the directory i_mutex chain. Our i_mutex locking is rather complex, and depends on the topological ordering of the directories, which is why we have been very wary of splicing directory entries around. Of course, we really don't want to ever see aliased unconnected directories anyway, so none of this should ever happen, but this revert aims to basically get us back to a known older state. Bruce points to some of the previous discussion at http://marc.info/?i=<20110310105821.GE22723@ZenIV.linux.org.uk> and in particular a long post from Neil: http://marc.info/?i=<20110311150749.2fa2be66@notabene.brown> It should be noted that it's possible that Dave's problems come from other changes altohgether, including possibly just the fact that Dave constantly is teachning his fuzzer new tricks. So what appears to be a new bug could in fact be an old one that just gets newly triggered, but reverting these patches as "still under heavy discussion" is the right thing regardless.

This fixes a problem which can causes kernel oopses while loading a kernel module. According to the PowerPC EABI specification, GPR r11 is assigned the dedicated function to point to the previous stack frame. In the powerpc-specific kernel module loader, do_plt_call() (in arch/powerpc/kernel/module_32.c), GPR r11 is also used to generate trampoline code. This combination crashes the kernel, in the case where the compiler chooses to use a helper function for saving GPRs on entry, and the module loader has placed the .init.text section far away from the .text section, meaning that it has to generate a trampoline for functions in the .init.text section to call the GPR save helper. Because the trampoline trashes r11, references to the stack frame using r11 can cause an oops. The fix just uses GPR r12 instead of GPR r11 for generating the trampoline code. According to the statements from Freescale, this is safe from an EABI perspective. I've tested the fix for kernel 2.6.33 on MPC8541.

There is no need to clear the 'legacy' (UV1) mode, because the hardware always uses UV2 mode for selective broadcast. But the BIOS uses general broadcast and legacy mode, and the hardware pays attention to the legacy mode bit for general broadcast. So the kernel must not clear that mode bit.

9fb48c74 ("params: add 3rd arg to option handler callback signature") added similar lines to dmesg: initlevel:0=early, 4 registered initcalls initlevel:1=core, 31 registered initcalls initlevel:2=postcore, 11 registered initcalls initlevel:3=arch, 7 registered initcalls initlevel:4=subsys, 40 registered initcalls initlevel:5=fs, 30 registered initcalls initlevel:6=device, 250 registered initcalls initlevel:7=late, 35 registered initcalls but they don't contain any info for the general user staring at dmesg. I'm very doubtful the count of initcalls registered per level helps anyone so drop that output completely.

Commit 026cee00 "params: <level>_initcall-like kernel parameters" set old-style module parameters to level 0. And we call those level 0 calls where we used to, early in start_kernel(). We also loop through the initcall levels and call the levelled module_params before the corresponding initcall. Unfortunately level 0 is early_init(), so we call the standard module_param calls twice. (Turns out most things don't care, but at least ubi.mtd does). Change the level to -1 for standard module_param calls. Reported-by: NBenoît Thébaudeau <benoit.thebaudeau@advansee.com> Signed-off-by: NRusty Russell <rusty@rustcorp.com.au> Cc: stable@kernel.org

This reverts 68568add ("powerpc/time: Remove unnecessary sanity check of decrementer expiration"). We do need to check whether we have reached the expiration time of the next event, because we sometimes get an early decrementer interrupt, most notably when we set the decrementer to 1 in arch_irq_work_raise(). The effect of not having the sanity check is that if timer_interrupt() gets called early, we leave the decrementer set to its maximum value, which means we then don't get any more decrementer interrupts for about 4 seconds (or longer, depending on timebase frequency). I saw these pauses as a consequence of getting a stray hypervisor decrementer interrupt left over from exiting a KVM guest. This isn't quite a straight revert because of changes to the surrounding code, but it restores the same algorithm as was previously used.

This reverts commit 40af1bbd. It's horribly and utterly broken for at least the following reasons: - calling sync_mm_rss() from mmput() is fundamentally wrong, because there's absolutely no reason to believe that the task that does the mmput() always does it on its own VM. Example: fork, ptrace, /proc - you name it. - calling it *after* having done mmdrop() on it is doubly insane, since the mm struct may well be gone now. - testing mm against NULL before you call it is insane too, since a NULL mm there would have caused oopses long before. .. and those are just the three bugs I found before I decided to give up looking for me and revert it asap. I should have caught it before I even took it, but I trusted Andrew too much.

Commit 79906964 uses the ext4_{set,clear}_inode_flags() functions to change the i_flags automatically but fails to remove the error setting of i_flags. So we still have the problem of trashing state flags. Fix this by removing the assignment.

Ext3 filesystems that are converted to use as many ext4 file system features as possible will enable uninit_bg to speed up e2fsck times. These file systems will have a native ext3 layout of inode tables and block allocation bitmaps (as opposed to ext4's flex_bg layout). Unfortunately, in these cases, when first allocating a block in an uninitialized block group, ext4 would incorrectly calculate the number of free blocks in that block group, and then errorneously report that the file system was corrupt: EXT4-fs error (device vdd): ext4_mb_generate_buddy:741: group 30, 32254 clusters in bitmap, 32258 in gd This problem can be reproduced via: mke2fs -q -t ext4 -O ^flex_bg /dev/vdd 5g mount -t ext4 /dev/vdd /mnt fallocate -l 4600m /mnt/test The problem was caused by a bone headed mistake in the check to see if a particular metadata block was part of the block group.

mm->rss_stat counters have per-task delta: task->rss_stat. Before changing task->mm pointer the kernel must flush this delta with sync_mm_rss(). do_exit() already calls sync_mm_rss() to flush the rss-counters before committing the rss statistics into task->signal->maxrss, taskstats, audit and other stuff. Unfortunately the kernel does this before calling mm_release(), which can call put_user() for processing task->clear_child_tid. So at this point we can trigger page-faults and task->rss_stat becomes non-zero again. As a result mm->rss_stat becomes inconsistent and check_mm() will print something like this: | BUG: Bad rss-counter state mm:ffff88020813c380 idx:1 val:-1 | BUG: Bad rss-counter state mm:ffff88020813c380 idx:2 val:1 This patch moves sync_mm_rss() into mm_release(), and moves mm_release() out of do_exit() and calls it earlier. After mm_release() there should be no pagefaults.
