      vfs: define struct filename and have getname() return it · 91a27b2a
      Jeff Layton 提交于
      getname() is intended to copy pathname strings from userspace into a
      kernel buffer. The result is just a string in kernel space. It would
      however be quite helpful to be able to attach some ancillary info to
      the string.
      
      For instance, we could attach some audit-related info to reduce the
      amount of audit-related processing needed. When auditing is enabled,
      we could also call getname() on the string more than once and not
      need to recopy it from userspace.
      
      This patchset converts the getname()/putname() interfaces to return
      a struct instead of a string. For now, the struct just tracks the
      string in kernel space and the original userland pointer for it.
      
      Later, we'll add other information to the struct as it becomes
      convenient.

      mm: fix-up zone present pages · 7f1290f2
      Jianguo Wu 提交于
      I think zone->present_pages indicates pages that buddy system can management,
      it should be:
      
      	zone->present_pages = spanned pages - absent pages - bootmem pages,
      
      but is now:
      	zone->present_pages = spanned pages - absent pages - memmap pages.
      
      spanned pages: total size, including holes.
      absent pages: holes.
      bootmem pages: pages used in system boot, managed by bootmem allocator.
      memmap pages: pages used by page structs.
      
      This may cause zone->present_pages less than it should be.  For example,
      numa node 1 has ZONE_NORMAL and ZONE_MOVABLE, it's memmap and other
      bootmem will be allocated from ZONE_MOVABLE, so ZONE_NORMAL's
      present_pages should be spanned pages - absent pages, but now it also
      minus memmap pages(free_area_init_core), which are actually allocated from
      ZONE_MOVABLE.  When offlining all memory of a zone, this will cause
      zone->present_pages less than 0, because present_pages is unsigned long
      type, it is actually a very large integer, it indirectly caused
      zone->watermark[WMARK_MIN] becomes a large
      integer(setup_per_zone_wmarks()), than cause totalreserve_pages become a
      large integer(calculate_totalreserve_pages()), and finally cause memory
      allocating failure when fork process(__vm_enough_memory()).
      
      [root@localhost ~]# dmesg
      -bash: fork: Cannot allocate memory
      
      I think the bug described in
      
        http://marc.info/?l=linux-mm&m=134502182714186&w=2
      
      is also caused by wrong zone present pages.
      
      This patch intends to fix-up zone->present_pages when memory are freed to
      buddy system on x86_64 and IA64 platforms.

      readahead: fault retry breaks mmap file read random detection · 45cac65b
      Shaohua Li 提交于
      .fault now can retry.  The retry can break state machine of .fault.  In
      filemap_fault, if page is miss, ra->mmap_miss is increased.  In the second
      try, since the page is in page cache now, ra->mmap_miss is decreased.  And
      these are done in one fault, so we can't detect random mmap file access.
      
      Add a new flag to indicate .fault is tried once.  In the second try, skip
      ra->mmap_miss decreasing.  The filemap_fault state machine is ok with it.
      
      I only tested x86, didn't test other archs, but looks the change for other
      archs is obvious, but who knows :)

      mm: hugetlb: add arch hook for clearing page flags before entering pool · 5d3a551c
      Will Deacon 提交于
      The core page allocator ensures that page flags are zeroed when freeing
      pages via free_pages_check.  A number of architectures (ARM, PPC, MIPS)
      rely on this property to treat new pages as dirty with respect to the data
      cache and perform the appropriate flushing before mapping the pages into
      userspace.
      
      This can lead to cache synchronisation problems when using hugepages,
      since the allocator keeps its own pool of pages above the usual page
      allocator and does not reset the page flags when freeing a page into the
      pool.
      
      This patch adds a new architecture hook, arch_clear_hugepage_flags, so
      that architectures which rely on the page flags being in a particular
      state for fresh allocations can adjust the flags accordingly when a page
      is freed into the pool.

      mm: kill vma flag VM_RESERVED and mm->reserved_vm counter · 314e51b9
      Konstantin Khlebnikov 提交于
      A long time ago, in v2.4, VM_RESERVED kept swapout process off VMA,
      currently it lost original meaning but still has some effects:
      
       | effect                 | alternative flags
      -+------------------------+---------------------------------------------
      1| account as reserved_vm | VM_IO
      2| skip in core dump      | VM_IO, VM_DONTDUMP
      3| do not merge or expand | VM_IO, VM_DONTEXPAND, VM_HUGETLB, VM_PFNMAP
      4| do not mlock           | VM_IO, VM_DONTEXPAND, VM_HUGETLB, VM_PFNMAP
      
      This patch removes reserved_vm counter from mm_struct.  Seems like nobody
      cares about it, it does not exported into userspace directly, it only
      reduces total_vm showed in proc.
      
      Thus VM_RESERVED can be replaced with VM_IO or pair VM_DONTEXPAND | VM_DONTDUMP.
      
      remap_pfn_range() and io_remap_pfn_range() set VM_IO|VM_DONTEXPAND|VM_DONTDUMP.
      remap_vmalloc_range() set VM_DONTEXPAND | VM_DONTDUMP.

      Make most arch asm/module.h files use asm-generic/module.h · 786d35d4
      David Howells 提交于
      Use the mapping of Elf_[SPE]hdr, Elf_Addr, Elf_Sym, Elf_Dyn, Elf_Rel/Rela,
      ELF_R_TYPE() and ELF_R_SYM() to either the 32-bit version or the 64-bit version
      into asm-generic/module.h for all arches bar MIPS.
      
      Also, use the generic definition mod_arch_specific where possible.
      
      To this end, I've defined three new config bools:
      
       (*) HAVE_MOD_ARCH_SPECIFIC
      
           Arches define this if they don't want to use the empty generic
           mod_arch_specific struct.
      
       (*) MODULES_USE_ELF_RELA
      
           Arches define this if their modules can contain RELA records.  This causes
           the Elf_Rela mapping to be emitted and allows apply_relocate_add() to be
           defined by the arch rather than have the core emit an error message.
      
       (*) MODULES_USE_ELF_REL
      
           Arches define this if their modules can contain REL records.  This causes
           the Elf_Rel mapping to be emitted and allows apply_relocate() to be
           defined by the arch rather than have the core emit an error message.
      
      Note that it is possible to allow both REL and RELA records: m68k and mips are
      two arches that do this.
      
      With this, some arch asm/module.h files can be deleted entirely and replaced
      with a generic-y marker in the arch Kbuild file.
      
      Additionally, I have removed the bits from m32r and score that handle the
      unsupported type of relocation record as that's now handled centrally.

      cputime: Consolidate vtime handling on context switch · baa36046
      Frederic Weisbecker 提交于
      The archs that implement virtual cputime accounting all
      flush the cputime of a task when it gets descheduled
      and sometimes set up some ground initialization for the
      next task to account its cputime.
      
      These archs all put their own hooks in their context
      switch callbacks and handle the off-case themselves.
      
      Consolidate this by creating a new account_switch_vtime()
      callback called in generic code right after a context switch
      and that these archs must implement to flush the prev task
      cputime and initialize the next task cputime related state.
