      x86-64: align RODATA kernel section to 2MB with CONFIG_DEBUG_RODATA · 74e08179
      Suresh Siddha 提交于
      CONFIG_DEBUG_RODATA chops the large pages spanning boundaries of kernel
      text/rodata/data to small 4KB pages as they are mapped with different
      attributes (text as RO, RODATA as RO and NX etc).
      
      On x86_64, preserve the large page mappings for kernel text/rodata/data
      boundaries when CONFIG_DEBUG_RODATA is enabled. This is done by allowing the
      RODATA section to be hugepage aligned and having same RWX attributes
      for the 2MB page boundaries
      
      Extra Memory pages padding the sections will be freed during the end of the boot
      and the kernel identity mappings will have different RWX permissions compared to
      the kernel text mappings.
      
      Kernel identity mappings to these physical pages will be mapped with smaller
      pages but large page mappings are still retained for kernel text,rodata,data
      mappings.

      x86-64: preserve large page mapping for 1st 2MB kernel txt with CONFIG_DEBUG_RODATA · b9af7c0d
      Suresh Siddha 提交于
      In the first 2MB, kernel text is co-located with kernel static
      page tables setup by head_64.S.  CONFIG_DEBUG_RODATA chops this
      2MB large page mapping to small 4KB pages as we mark the kernel text as RO,
      leaving the static page tables as RW.
      
      With CONFIG_DEBUG_RODATA disabled, OLTP run on NHM-EP shows 1% improvement
      with 2% reduction in system time and 1% improvement in iowait idle time.
      
      To recover this, move the kernel static page tables to .data section, so that
      we don't have to break the first 2MB of kernel text to small pages with
      CONFIG_DEBUG_RODATA.

      x86: Export k8 physical topology · 8ee2debc
      David Rientjes 提交于
      To eventually interleave emulated nodes over physical nodes, we
      need to know the physical topology of the machine without actually
      registering it.  This does the k8 node setup in two parts:
      detection and registration.  NUMA emulation can then used the
      physical topology detected to setup the address ranges of emulated
      nodes accordingly.  If emulation isn't used, the k8 nodes are
      registered as normal.
      
      Two formals are added to the x86 NUMA setup functions: `acpi' and
      `k8'. These represent whether ACPI or K8 NUMA has been detected;
      both cannot be true at the same time.  This specifies to the NUMA
      emulation code whether an underlying physical NUMA topology exists
      and which interface to use.
      
      This patch deals solely with separating the k8 setup path into
      Northbridge detection and registration steps and leaves the ACPI
      changes for a subsequent patch.  The `acpi' formal is added here,
      however, to avoid touching all the header files again in the next
      patch.
      
      This approach also ensures emulated nodes will not span physical
      nodes so the true memory latency is not misrepresented.
      
      k8_get_nodes() may now be used to export the k8 physical topology
      of the machine for NUMA emulation.

      |    page-allocator: clear N_HIGH_MEMORY map before we set it again
      |
      |    SRAT tables may contains nodes of very small size.  The arch code may
      |    decide to not activate such a node.  However, currently the early boot
      |    code sets N_HIGH_MEMORY for such nodes.  These nodes therefore seem to be
      |    active although these nodes have no present pages.
      |
      |    For 64bit N_HIGH_MEMORY == N_NORMAL_MEMORY, so that works for 64 bit too
      
      unintentionally and incorrectly clears the cpuset.mems cgroup attribute on
      an i386 kvm guest, meaning that cpuset.mems can not be used.
      
      Fix this by only clearing node_states[N_NORMAL_MEMORY] for 64bit only.
      and need to do save/restore for that in find_zone_movable_pfn
