      cpumask: change cpumask_scnprintf, cpumask_parse_user, cpulist_parse, and... · 29c0177e
      由 Rusty Russell 提交于 
      cpumask: change cpumask_scnprintf, cpumask_parse_user, cpulist_parse, and cpulist_scnprintf to take pointers.

Impact: change calling convention of existing cpumask APIs

Most cpumask functions started with cpus_: these have been replaced by
cpumask_ ones which take struct cpumask pointers as expected.

These four functions don't have good replacement names; fortunately
they're rarely used, so we just change them over.

      memcg: memory hotplug fix for notifier callback · dc19f9db
      由 KAMEZAWA Hiroyuki 提交于 
      Fixes for memcg/memory hotplug.

While memory hotplug allocate/free memmap, page_cgroup doesn't free
page_cgroup at OFFLINE when page_cgroup is allocated via bootomem.
(Because freeing bootmem requires special care.)

Then, if page_cgroup is allocated by bootmem and memmap is freed/allocated
by memory hotplug, page_cgroup->page == page is no longer true.

But current MEM_ONLINE handler doesn't check it and update
page_cgroup->page if it's not necessary to allocate page_cgroup.  (This
was not found because memmap is not freed if SPARSEMEM_VMEMMAP is y.)

And I noticed that MEM_ONLINE can be called against "part of section".
So, freeing page_cgroup at CANCEL_ONLINE will cause trouble.  (freeing
used page_cgroup) Don't rollback at CANCEL.

One more, current memory hotplug notifier is stopped by slub because it
sets NOTIFY_STOP_MASK to return vaule.  So, page_cgroup's callback never
be called.  (low priority than slub now.)

I think this slub's behavior is not intentional(BUG). and fixes it.

Another way to be considered about page_cgroup allocation:
  - free page_cgroup at OFFLINE even if it's from bootmem
    and remove specieal handler. But it requires more changes.

      SLUB: dynamic per-cache MIN_PARTIAL · 5595cffc
      由 Pekka Enberg 提交于 
      This patch changes the static MIN_PARTIAL to a dynamic per-cache ->min_partial
value that is calculated from object size. The bigger the object size, the more
pages we keep on the partial list.

I tested SLAB, SLUB, and SLUB with this patch on Jens Axboe's 'netio' example
script of the fio benchmarking tool. The script stresses the networking
subsystem which should also give a fairly good beating of kmalloc() et al.

To run the test yourself, first clone the fio repository:

  git clone git://git.kernel.dk/fio.git

and then run the following command n times on your machine:

  time ./fio examples/netio

The results on my 2-way 64-bit x86 machine are as follows:

  [ the minimum, maximum, and average are captured from 50 individual runs ]

                 real time (seconds)
                 min      max      avg      sd
  SLAB           22.76    23.38    22.98    0.17
  SLUB           22.80    25.78    23.46    0.72
  SLUB (dynamic) 22.74    23.54    23.00    0.20

                 sys time (seconds)
                 min      max      avg      sd
  SLAB           6.90     8.28     7.70     0.28
  SLUB           7.42     16.95    8.89     2.28
  SLUB (dynamic) 7.17     8.64     7.73     0.29

                 user time (seconds)
                 min      max      avg      sd
  SLAB           36.89    38.11    37.50    0.29
  SLUB           30.85    37.99    37.06    1.67
  SLUB (dynamic) 36.75    38.07    37.59    0.32

As you can see from the above numbers, this patch brings SLUB to the same level
as SLAB for this particular workload fixing a ~2% regression. I'd expect this
change to help similar workloads that allocate a lot of objects that are close
to the size of a page.

      slub: Fix use-after-preempt of per-CPU data structure · bdb21928

      Vegard Nossum reported a crash in kmem_cache_alloc():

	DS: 007b ES: 007b FS: 00d8 GS: 0033 SS: 0068

and analyzed it:

  "The register %ecx looks innocent but is very important here. The disassembly:

       mov    %edx,%ecx
       shr    $0x2,%ecx
       rep stos %eax,%es:(%edi) <-- the fault

   So %ecx has been loaded from %edx... which is 0x6b6b6b6b/POISON_FREE.
   (0x6b6b6b6b >> 2 == 0x1adadada.)

   %ecx is the counter for the memset, from here:

       memset(object, 0, c->objsize);

  i.e. %ecx was loaded from c->objsize, so "c" must have been freed.
  Where did "c" come from? Uh-oh...

       c = get_cpu_slab(s, smp_processor_id());

  This looks like it has very much to do with CPU hotplug/unplug. Is
  there a race between SLUB/hotplug since the CPU slab is used after it
  has been freed?"

Good analysis.

Yeah, it's possible that a caller of kmem_cache_alloc() -> slab_alloc()
can be migrated on another CPU right after local_irq_restore() and
before memset().  The inital cpu can become offline in the mean time (or
a migration is a consequence of the CPU going offline) so its
'kmem_cache_cpu' structure gets freed ( slab_cpuup_callback).

At some point of time the caller continues on another CPU having an
obsolete pointer...

      remove div_long_long_rem · f8bd2258
      由 Roman Zippel 提交于 
      x86 is the only arch right now, which provides an optimized for
div_long_long_rem and it has the downside that one has to be very careful that
the divide doesn't overflow.

The API is a little akward, as the arguments for the unsigned divide are
signed.  The signed version also doesn't handle a negative divisor and
produces worse code on 64bit archs.

There is little incentive to keep this API alive, so this converts the few
users to the new API.

      infrastructure to debug (dynamic) objects · 3ac7fe5a
      由 Thomas Gleixner 提交于 
      We can see an ever repeating problem pattern with objects of any kind in the
kernel:

1) freeing of active objects
2) reinitialization of active objects

Both problems can be hard to debug because the crash happens at a point where
we have no chance to decode the root cause anymore.  One problem spot are
kernel timers, where the detection of the problem often happens in interrupt
context and usually causes the machine to panic.

While working on a timer related bug report I had to hack specialized code
into the timer subsystem to get a reasonable hint for the root cause.  This
debug hack was fine for temporary use, but far from a mergeable solution due
to the intrusiveness into the timer code.

The code further lacked the ability to detect and report the root cause
instantly and keep the system operational.

Keeping the system operational is important to get hold of the debug
information without special debugging aids like serial consoles and special
knowledge of the bug reporter.

The problems described above are not restricted to timers, but timers tend to
expose it usually in a full system crash.  Other objects are less explosive,
but the symptoms caused by such mistakes can be even harder to debug.

Instead of creating specialized debugging code for the timer subsystem a
generic infrastructure is created which allows developers to verify their code
and provides an easy to enable debug facility for users in case of trouble.

The debugobjects core code keeps track of operations on static and dynamic
objects by inserting them into a hashed list and sanity checking them on
object operations and provides additional checks whenever kernel memory is
freed.

The tracked object operations are:
- initializing an object
- adding an object to a subsystem list
- deleting an object from a subsystem list

Each operation is sanity checked before the operation is executed and the
subsystem specific code can provide a fixup function which allows to prevent
the damage of the operation.  When the sanity check triggers a warning message
and a stack trace is printed.

The list of operations can be extended if the need arises.  For now it's
limited to the requirements of the first user (timers).

The core code enqueues the objects into hash buckets.  The hash index is
generated from the address of the object to simplify the lookup for the check
on kfree/vfree.  Each bucket has it's own spinlock to avoid contention on a
global lock.

The debug code can be compiled in without being active.  The runtime overhead
is minimal and could be optimized by asm alternatives.  A kernel command line
option enables the debugging code.

Thanks to Ingo Molnar for review, suggestions and cleanup patches.
