      x86, mm: Enable ARCH_DMA_ADDR_T_64BIT with X86_64 || HIGHMEM64G · 66f2b061
      FUJITA Tomonori 提交于
      Set CONFIG_ARCH_DMA_ADDR_T_64BIT when we set dma_addr_t to 64 bits in
      <asm/types.h>; this allows Kconfig decisions based on this property.

      x86: Spread tlb flush vector between nodes · 93296720
      Shaohua Li 提交于
      Currently flush tlb vector allocation is based on below equation:
      	sender = smp_processor_id() % 8
      This isn't optimal, CPUs from different node can have the same vector, this
      causes a lot of lock contention. Instead, we can assign the same vectors to
      CPUs from the same node, while different node has different vectors. This has
      below advantages:
      a. if there is lock contention, the lock contention is between CPUs from one
      node. This should be much cheaper than the contention between nodes.
      b. completely avoid lock contention between nodes. This especially benefits
      kswapd, which is the biggest user of tlb flush, since kswapd sets its affinity
      to specific node.
      
      In my test, this could reduce > 20% CPU overhead in extreme case.The test
      machine has 4 nodes and each node has 16 CPUs. I then bind each node's kswapd
      to the first CPU of the node. I run a workload with 4 sequential mmap file
      read thread. The files are empty sparse file. This workload will trigger a
      lot of page reclaim and tlbflush. The kswapd bind is to easy trigger the
      extreme tlb flush lock contention because otherwise kswapd keeps migrating
      between CPUs of a node and I can't get stable result. Sure in real workload,
      we can't always see so big tlb flush lock contention, but it's possible.

      ftrace: Rename config option HAVE_C_MCOUNT_RECORD to HAVE_C_RECORDMCOUNT · cf4db259
      Steven Rostedt 提交于
      The config option used by archs to let the build system know that
      the C version of the recordmcount works for said arch is currently
      called HAVE_C_MCOUNT_RECORD which enables BUILD_C_RECORDMCOUNT. To
      be more consistent with the name that all archs may use, it has been
      renamed to HAVE_C_RECORDMCOUNT. This will be less confusing since
      we are building a C recordmcount and not a mcount_record.

      ftrace/x86: Add support for C version of recordmcount · 72441cb1
      Steven Rostedt 提交于
      This patch adds the support for the C version of recordmcount and
      compile times show ~ 12% improvement.
      
      After verifying this works, other archs can add:
      
       HAVE_C_MCOUNT_RECORD
      
      in its Kconfig and it will use the C version of recordmcount
      instead of the perl version.

      x86: Barf when vmalloc and kmemcheck faults happen in NMI · ebc8827f
      Frederic Weisbecker 提交于
      In x86, faults exit by executing the iret instruction, which then
      reenables NMIs if we faulted in NMI context. Then if a fault
      happens in NMI, another NMI can nest after the fault exits.
      
      But we don't yet support nested NMIs because we have only one NMI
      stack. To prevent from that, check that vmalloc and kmemcheck
      faults don't happen in this context. Most of the other kernel faults
      in NMIs can be more easily spotted by finding explicit
      copy_from,to_user() calls on review.

      Don't dump task struct in a.out core-dumps · 0eead9ab
      Linus Torvalds 提交于
      akiphie points out that a.out core-dumps have that odd task struct
      dumping that was never used and was never really a good idea (it goes
      back into the mists of history, probably the original core-dumping
      code).  Just remove it.
      
      Also do the access_ok() check on dump_write().  It probably doesn't
      matter (since normal filesystems all seem to do it anyway), but he
      points out that it's normally done by the VFS layer, so ...
      
      [ I suspect that we should possibly do "vfs_write()" instead of
        calling ->write directly.  That also does the whole fsnotify and write
        statistics thing, which may or may not be a good idea. ]
      
      And just to be anal, do this all for the x86-64 32-bit a.out emulation
      code too, even though it's not enabled (and won't currently even
      compile)
