      mm: show node to memory section relationship with symlinks in sysfs · c04fc586
      由 Gary Hade 提交于 
      Show node to memory section relationship with symlinks in sysfs

Add /sys/devices/system/node/nodeX/memoryY symlinks for all
the memory sections located on nodeX.  For example:
/sys/devices/system/node/node1/memory135 -> ../../memory/memory135
indicates that memory section 135 resides on node1.

Also revises documentation to cover this change as well as updating
Documentation/ABI/testing/sysfs-devices-memory to include descriptions
of memory hotremove files 'phys_device', 'phys_index', and 'state'
that were previously not described there.

In addition to it always being a good policy to provide users with
the maximum possible amount of physical location information for
resources that can be hot-added and/or hot-removed, the following
are some (but likely not all) of the user benefits provided by
this change.
Immediate:
  - Provides information needed to determine the specific node
    on which a defective DIMM is located.  This will reduce system
    downtime when the node or defective DIMM is swapped out.
  - Prevents unintended onlining of a memory section that was
    previously offlined due to a defective DIMM.  This could happen
    during node hot-add when the user or node hot-add assist script
    onlines _all_ offlined sections due to user or script inability
    to identify the specific memory sections located on the hot-added
    node.  The consequences of reintroducing the defective memory
    could be ugly.
  - Provides information needed to vary the amount and distribution
    of memory on specific nodes for testing or debugging purposes.
Future:
  - Will provide information needed to identify the memory
    sections that need to be offlined prior to physical removal
    of a specific node.

Symlink creation during boot was tested on 2-node x86_64, 2-node
ppc64, and 2-node ia64 systems.  Symlink creation during physical
memory hot-add tested on a 2-node x86_64 system.

      There is nothing architecture specific about remove_memory().
remove_memory() function is common for all architectures which support
hotplug memory remove.  Instead of duplicating it in every architecture,
collapse them into arch neutral function.

      [IA64] fix personality(PER_LINUX32) performance issue · 839052d2
      由 Huang, Xiaolan 提交于 
      The patch aims to fix a performance issue for the syscall
personality(PER_LINUX32).

On IA-64 box, the syscall personality (PER_LINUX32) has poor performance
because it failed to find the Linux/x86 execution domain. Then it tried
to load the kernel module however it failed always and it used the default
execution domain PER_LINUX instead. Requesting kernel modules is very
expensive. It caused the performance issue. (see the function
lookup_exec_domain in kernel/exec_domain.c).

To resolve the issue, execution domain Linux/x86 is always registered in
initialization time for IA-64 architecture.

      [IA64] Fix NUMA configuration issue · 98075d24
      由 Zoltan Menyhart 提交于 
      There is a NUMA memory configuration issue in 2.6.24:

A 2-node machine of ours has got the following memory layout:

Node 0:	0 - 2 Gbytes
Node 0:	4 - 8 Gbytes
Node 1:	8 - 16 Gbytes
Node 0:	16 - 18 Gbytes

"efi_memmap_init()" merges the three last ranges into one.

"register_active_ranges()" is called as follows:

efi_memmap_walk(register_active_ranges, NULL);

i.e. once for the 4 - 18 Gbytes range. It picks up the node
number from the start address, and registers all the memory for
the node #0.

"register_active_ranges()" should be called as follows to
make sure there is no merged address range at its entry:

efi_memmap_walk(filter_memory, register_active_ranges);

"filter_memory()" is similar to "filter_rsvd_memory()",
but the reserved memory ranges are not filtered out.

      Make page->private usable in compound pages · d85f3385
      由 Christoph Lameter 提交于 
      If we add a new flag so that we can distinguish between the first page and the
tail pages then we can avoid to use page->private in the first page.
page->private == page for the first page, so there is no real information in
there.

Freeing up page->private makes the use of compound pages more transparent.
They become more usable like real pages.  Right now we have to be careful f.e.
 if we are going beyond PAGE_SIZE allocations in the slab on i386 because we
can then no longer use the private field.  This is one of the issues that
cause us not to support debugging for page size slabs in SLAB.

Having page->private available for SLUB would allow more meta information in
the page struct.  I can probably avoid the 16 bit ints that I have in there
right now.

Also if page->private is available then a compound page may be equipped with
buffer heads.  This may free up the way for filesystems to support larger
blocks than page size.

We add PageTail as an alias of PageReclaim.  Compound pages cannot currently
be reclaimed.  Because of the alias one needs to check PageCompound first.

The RFC for the this approach was discussed at
http://marc.info/?t=117574302800001&r=1&w=2

      [IA64] bugfix stack layout upside-down · 83d2cd3d
      由 KAMEZAWA Hiroyuki 提交于 
      ia64 expects following vm layout:

== low memory
[register-stack grows up]
[memory-stack grows down]
== high memory

But the code assigns the base of the register stack at the
maximum stack size offset from the fixed address where the
stack *might* start.  Stack randomization will result in the
memory stack starting at a lower address than this, and if the
user has set a low stack limit with "ulimit -s", then you can
end up with the register stack above the memory stack (or if
you were very unlucky right on top of it!).

Fix: Calculate the base address for the register stack starting
from the actual address of the memory stack.

      [IA64] min_low_pfn and max_low_pfn calculation fix · a3f5c338
      由 Zou Nan hai 提交于 
      We have seen bad_pte_print when testing crashdump on an SN machine in
recent 2.6.20 kernel.  There are tons of bad pte print (pfn < max_low_pfn)
reports when the crash kernel boots up, all those reported bad pages
are inside initmem range; That is because if the crash kernel code and
data happens to be at the beginning of the 1st node. build_node_maps in
discontig.c will bypass reserved regions with filter_rsvd_memory. Since
min_low_pfn is calculated in build_node_map, so in this case, min_low_pfn
will be greater than kernel code and data.

Because pages inside initmem are freed and reused later, we saw
pfn_valid check fail on those pages.

I think this theoretically happen on a normal kernel. When I check
min_low_pfn and max_low_pfn calculation in contig.c and discontig.c.
I found more issues than this.

1. min_low_pfn and max_low_pfn calculation is inconsistent between
contig.c and discontig.c,
min_low_pfn is calculated as the first page number of boot memmap in
contig.c (Why? Though this may work at the most of the time, I don't
think it is the right logic). It is calculated as the lowest physical
memory page number bypass reserved regions in discontig.c.
max_low_pfn is calculated include reserved regions in contig.c. It is
calculated exclude reserved regions in discontig.c.

2. If kernel code and data region is happen to be at the begin or the
end of physical memory, when min_low_pfn and max_low_pfn calculation is
bypassed kernel code and data, pages in initmem will report bad.

3. initrd is also in reserved regions, if it is at the begin or at the
end of physical memory, kernel will refuse to reuse the memory. Because
the virt_addr_valid check in free_initrd_mem.

So it is better to fix and clean up those issues.
Calculate min_low_pfn and max_low_pfn in a consistent way.

      [IA64] relax per-cpu TLB requirement to DTC · 00b65985
      由 Chen, Kenneth W 提交于 
      Instead of pinning per-cpu TLB into a DTR, use DTC.  This will free up
one TLB entry for application, or even kernel if access pattern to
per-cpu data area has high temporal locality.

Since per-cpu is mapped at the top of region 7 address, we just need to
add special case in alt_dtlb_miss.  The physical address of per-cpu data
is already conveniently stored in IA64_KR(PER_CPU_DATA).  Latency for
alt_dtlb_miss is not affected as we can hide all the latency.  It was
measured that alt_dtlb_miss handler has 23 cycles latency before and
after the patch.

The performance effect is massive for applications that put lots of tlb
pressure on CPU.  Workload environment like database online transaction
processing or application uses tera-byte of memory would benefit the most.
Measurement with industry standard database benchmark shown an upward
of 1.6% gain.  While smaller workloads like cpu, java also showing small
improvement.

      [IA64] register memory ranges in a consistent manner · 139b8304
      由 Bob Picco 提交于 
      While pursuing and unrelated issue with 64Mb granules I noticed a problem
related to inconsistent use of add_active_range.  There doesn't appear any
reason to me why FLATMEM versus DISCONTIG_MEM should register memory to
add_active_range with different code.  So I've changed the code into a
common implementation.

The other subtle issue fixed by this patch was calling add_active_range in
count_node_pages before granule aligning is performed.  We were lucky with
16MB granules but not so with 64MB granules.  count_node_pages has reserved
regions filtered out and as a consequence linked kernel text and data
aren't covered by calls to count_node_pages.  So linked kernel regions
wasn't reported to add_active_regions.  This resulted in free_initmem
causing numerous bad_page reports.  This won't occur with this patch
because now all known memory regions are reported by
register_active_ranges.

      [PATCH] mm: init_mm without ptlock · 872fec16
      由 Hugh Dickins 提交于 
      First step in pushing down the page_table_lock.  init_mm.page_table_lock has
been used throughout the architectures (usually for ioremap): not to serialize
kernel address space allocation (that's usually vmlist_lock), but because
pud_alloc,pmd_alloc,pte_alloc_kernel expect caller holds it.

Reverse that: don't lock or unlock init_mm.page_table_lock in any of the
architectures; instead rely on pud_alloc,pmd_alloc,pte_alloc_kernel to take
and drop it when allocating a new one, to check lest a racing task already
did.  Similarly no page_table_lock in vmalloc's map_vm_area.

Some temporary ugliness in __pud_alloc and __pmd_alloc: since they also handle
user mms, which are converted only by a later patch, for now they have to lock
differently according to whether or not it's init_mm.

If sources get muddled, there's a danger that an arch source taking
init_mm.page_table_lock will be mixed with common source also taking it (or
neither take it).  So break the rules and make another change, which should
break the build for such a mismatch: remove the redundant mm arg from
pte_alloc_kernel (ppc64 scrapped its distinct ioremap_mm in 2.6.13).

Exceptions: arm26 used pte_alloc_kernel on user mm, now pte_alloc_map; ia64
used pte_alloc_map on init_mm, now pte_alloc_kernel; parisc had bad args to
pmd_alloc and pte_alloc_kernel in unused USE_HPPA_IOREMAP code; ppc64
map_io_page forgot to unlock on failure; ppc mmu_mapin_ram and ppc64 im_free
took page_table_lock for no good reason.
