      x86, amd: Avoid cache aliasing penalties on AMD family 15h · dfb09f9b
      Borislav Petkov 提交于
      This patch provides performance tuning for the "Bulldozer" CPU. With its
      shared instruction cache there is a chance of generating an excessive
      number of cache cross-invalidates when running specific workloads on the
      cores of a compute module.
      
      This excessive amount of cross-invalidations can be observed if cache
      lines backed by shared physical memory alias in bits [14:12] of their
      virtual addresses, as those bits are used for the index generation.
      
      This patch addresses the issue by clearing all the bits in the [14:12]
      slice of the file mapping's virtual address at generation time, thus
      forcing those bits the same for all mappings of a single shared library
      across processes and, in doing so, avoids instruction cache aliases.
      
      It also adds the command line option "align_va_addr=(32|64|on|off)" with
      which virtual address alignment can be enabled for 32-bit or 64-bit x86
      individually, or both, or be completely disabled.
      
      This change leaves virtual region address allocation on other families
      and/or vendors unaffected.

      improve sys_newuname() for compat architectures · e28cbf22
      Christoph Hellwig 提交于
      On an architecture that supports 32-bit compat we need to override the
      reported machine in uname with the 32-bit value.  Instead of doing this
      separately in every architecture introduce a COMPAT_UTS_MACHINE define in
      <asm/compat.h> and apply it directly in sys_newuname().

      unified (weak) sys_pipe implementation · d35c7b0e
      Ulrich Drepper 提交于
      This replaces the duplicated arch-specific versions of "sys_pipe()" with
      one unified implementation.  This removes almost 250 lines of duplicated
      code.
      
      It's marked __weak, so that *if* an architecture wants to override the
      default implementation it can do so by simply having its own replacement
      version, since many architectures use alternate calling conventions for
      the 'pipe()' system call for legacy reasons (ie traditional UNIX
      implementations often return the two file descriptors in registers)
      
      I still haven't changed the cris version even though Linus says the BKL
      isn't needed.  The arch maintainer can easily do it if there are really
      no obstacles.

      Since the x86 merge, lots of files that referenced their own filenames
      are no longer correct.  Rather than keep them up to date, just delete
      them, as they add no real value.
      
      Additionally:
      - fix up comment formatting in scx200_32.c
      - Remove a credit from myself in setup_64.c from a time when we had no SCM

      [PATCH] Avoiding mmap fragmentation · 1363c3cd
      Wolfgang Wander 提交于
      Ingo recently introduced a great speedup for allocating new mmaps using the
      free_area_cache pointer which boosts the specweb SSL benchmark by 4-5% and
      causes huge performance increases in thread creation.
      
      The downside of this patch is that it does lead to fragmentation in the
      mmap-ed areas (visible via /proc/self/maps), such that some applications
      that work fine under 2.4 kernels quickly run out of memory on any 2.6
      kernel.
      
      The problem is twofold:
      
        1) the free_area_cache is used to continue a search for memory where
           the last search ended.  Before the change new areas were always
           searched from the base address on.
      
           So now new small areas are cluttering holes of all sizes
           throughout the whole mmap-able region whereas before small holes
           tended to close holes near the base leaving holes far from the base
           large and available for larger requests.
      
        2) the free_area_cache also is set to the location of the last
           munmap-ed area so in scenarios where we allocate e.g.  five regions of
           1K each, then free regions 4 2 3 in this order the next request for 1K
           will be placed in the position of the old region 3, whereas before we
           appended it to the still active region 1, placing it at the location
           of the old region 2.  Before we had 1 free region of 2K, now we only
           get two free regions of 1K -> fragmentation.
      
      The patch addresses thes issues by introducing yet another cache descriptor
      cached_hole_size that contains the largest known hole size below the
      current free_area_cache.  If a new request comes in the size is compared
      against the cached_hole_size and if the request can be filled with a hole
      below free_area_cache the search is started from the base instead.
      
      The results look promising: Whereas 2.6.12-rc4 fragments quickly and my
      (earlier posted) leakme.c test program terminates after 50000+ iterations
      with 96 distinct and fragmented maps in /proc/self/maps it performs nicely
      (as expected) with thread creation, Ingo's test_str02 with 20000 threads
      requires 0.7s system time.
      
      Taking out Ingo's patch (un-patch available per request) by basically
      deleting all mentions of free_area_cache from the kernel and starting the
      search for new memory always at the respective bases we observe: leakme
      terminates successfully with 11 distinctive hardly fragmented areas in
      /proc/self/maps but thread creating is gringdingly slow: 30+s(!) system
      time for Ingo's test_str02 with 20000 threads.
      
      Now - drumroll ;-) the appended patch works fine with leakme: it ends with
      only 7 distinct areas in /proc/self/maps and also thread creation seems
      sufficiently fast with 0.71s for 20000 threads.

      [PATCH] x86_64: TASK_SIZE fixes for compatibility mode processes · 84929801
      Suresh Siddha 提交于
      Appended patch will setup compatibility mode TASK_SIZE properly.  This will
      fix atleast three known bugs that can be encountered while running
      compatibility mode apps.
      
      a) A malicious 32bit app can have an elf section at 0xffffe000.  During
         exec of this app, we will have a memory leak as insert_vm_struct() is
         not checking for return value in syscall32_setup_pages() and thus not
         freeing the vma allocated for the vsyscall page.  And instead of exec
         failing (as it has addresses > TASK_SIZE), we were allowing it to
         succeed previously.
      
      b) With a 32bit app, hugetlb_get_unmapped_area/arch_get_unmapped_area
         may return addresses beyond 32bits, ultimately causing corruption
         because of wrap-around and resulting in SEGFAULT, instead of returning
         ENOMEM.
      
      c) 32bit app doing this below mmap will now fail.
      
        mmap((void *)(0xFFFFE000UL), 0x10000UL, PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE,
      	MAP_FIXED|MAP_PRIVATE|MAP_ANON, 0, 0);

      Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
      even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
      archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
      3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
      git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
      infrastructure for it.
      
      Let it rip!
