      x86-32: Fix sparse warning for the __PHYSICAL_MASK calculation · a416e9e1
      Namhyung Kim 提交于
      On 32-bit non-PAE system, cast to 'phys_addr_t' truncates value
      before subtraction. Subtracting before cast produce same result
      but remove following warnings from sparse:
      
       arch/x86/include/asm/pgtable_types.h:255:38: warning: cast truncates bits from constant value (100000000 becomes 0)
       arch/x86/include/asm/pgtable_types.h:270:38: warning: cast truncates bits from constant value (100000000 becomes 0)
       arch/x86/include/asm/pgtable.h:127:32: warning: cast truncates bits from constant value (100000000 becomes 0)
       arch/x86/include/asm/pgtable.h:132:32: warning: cast truncates bits from constant value (100000000 becomes 0)
       arch/x86/include/asm/pgtable.h:344:31: warning: cast truncates bits from constant value (100000000 becomes 0)
      
      64-bit or PAE machines will not be affected by this change.

      mm, x86: Saving vmcore with non-lazy freeing of vmas · 3ee48b6a
      Cliff Wickman 提交于
      During the reading of /proc/vmcore the kernel is doing
      ioremap()/iounmap() repeatedly. And the buildup of un-flushed
      vm_area_struct's is causing a great deal of overhead. (rb_next()
      is chewing up most of that time).
      
      This solution is to provide function set_iounmap_nonlazy(). It
      causes a subsequent call to iounmap() to immediately purge the
      vma area (with try_purge_vmap_area_lazy()).
      
      With this patch we have seen the time for writing a 250MB
      compressed dump drop from 71 seconds to 44 seconds.

      Haicheng Li 提交于
      When memory hotplug-adding happens for a large enough area
      that a new PGD entry is needed for the direct mapping, the PGDs
      of other processes would not get updated. This leads to some CPUs
      oopsing like below when they have to access the unmapped areas.

      This patch makes sure to always replicate new direct mapping PGD entries
      to the PGDs of all processes, as well as ensures corresponding vmemmap
      mapping gets synced.
      
      V1: initial code by Andi Kleen.
      V2: fix several issues found in testing.
      V3: as suggested by Wu Fengguang, reuse common code of vmalloc_sync_all().

      x86, mm: Avoid unnecessary TLB flush · 61c77326
      Shaohua Li 提交于
      In x86, access and dirty bits are set automatically by CPU when CPU accesses
      memory. When we go into the code path of below flush_tlb_fix_spurious_fault(),
      we already set dirty bit for pte and don't need flush tlb. This might mean
      tlb entry in some CPUs hasn't dirty bit set, but this doesn't matter. When
      the CPUs do page write, they will automatically check the bit and no software
      involved.
      
      On the other hand, flush tlb in below position is harmful. Test creates CPU
      number of threads, each thread writes to a same but random address in same vma
      range and we measure the total time. Under a 4 socket system, original time is
      1.96s, while with the patch, the time is 0.8s. Under a 2 socket system, there is
      20% time cut too. perf shows a lot of time are taking to send ipi/handle ipi for
      tlb flush.
