On larger systems, because of the numerous ACPI, Bootmem and EFI messages,
the static log buffer overflows before the larger one specified by the
log_buf_len param is allocated.  Minimize the overflow by allocating the
new log buffer as soon as possible.

On kernels without memblock, a later call to setup_log_buf from
kernel/init.c is the fallback.

On larger systems, information in the kernel log is lost because there is
so much early text printed, that it overflows the static log buffer before
the log_buf_len kernel parameter can be processed, and a bigger log buffer
allocated.

Distros are relunctant to increase memory usage by increasing the size of
the static log buffer, so minimize the problem by allocating the new log
buffer as early as possible.

This patch:

Add an error return if CONFIG_HAVE_MEMBLOCK is not set instead of having
to add #ifdef CONFIG_HAVE_MEMBLOCK around blocks of code calling that
function.

A fix to the TSC (Time Stamp Counter) based bogoMIPS calculation used on
secondary CPUs which has two faults:

1: Not handling wrapping of the lower 32 bits of the TSC counter on
   32bit kernel - perhaps TSC is not reset by a warm reset?

2: TSC and Jiffies are no incrementing together properly.  Either
   jiffies increment too quickly or Time Stamp Counter isn't incremented
   in during an SMI but the real time clock is and jiffies are
   incremented.

Case 1 can result in a factor of 16 too large a value which makes udelay()
values too small and can cause mysterious driver errors.  Case 2 appears
to give smaller 10-15% errors after averaging but enough to cause
occasional failures on my own board

I have tested this code on my own branch and attach patch suitable for
current kernel code.  See below for examples of the failures and how the
fix handles these situations now.

I reported this issue earlier here:
     Intermittent problem with BogoMIPs calculation on Intel AP CPUs -
http://marc.info/?l=linux-kernel&m=129947246316875&w=4

I suspect this issue has been seen by others but as it is intermittent and
bogoMIPS for secondary CPUs are no longer printed out it might have been
difficult to identify this as the cause.  Perhaps these unresolved issues,
although quite old, might be relevant as possibly this fault has been
around for a while.  In particular Case 1 may only be relevant to 32bit
kernels on newer HW (most people run 64bit kernels?).  Case 2 is less
dramatic since the earlier fix in this area and also intermittent.

This issue is masked a little by commit feae3203 ("timers, init:
Limit the number of per cpu calibration bootup messages") which only
prints out the first bogoMIPS value making it much harder to notice other
values differing.  Perhaps it should be changed to only suppress them when
they are similar values?

Here are some outputs showing faults occurring and the new code handling
them properly.  See my earlier message for examples of the original
failure.

Manually adjusting the smp_affinity for IRQ's becomes unwieldy when the
cpu count is large.

Setting smp affinity to cpus 256 to 263 would be:

	echo 000000ff,00000000,00000000,00000000,00000000,00000000,00000000,00000000 > smp_affinity

instead of:

	echo 256-263 > smp_affinity_list

Think about what it looks like for cpus around say, 4088 to 4095.

We already have many alternate "list" interfaces:

/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpuX/indexY/shared_cpu_list
/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpuX/topology/thread_siblings_list
/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpuX/topology/core_siblings_list
/sys/devices/system/node/nodeX/cpulist
/sys/devices/pci***/***/local_cpulist

Add a companion interface, smp_affinity_list to use cpu lists instead of
cpu maps.  This conforms to other companion interfaces where both a map
and a list interface exists.

This required adding a bitmap_parselist_user() function in a manner
similar to the bitmap_parse_user() function.

The presense of a writeq() implementation on 32-bit x86 that splits the
64-bit write into two 32-bit writes turns out to break the mpt2sas driver
(and in general is risky for drivers as was discussed in
<http://lkml.kernel.org/r/adaab6c1h7c.fsf@cisco.com>).  To fix this,
revert 2c5643b1 ("x86: provide readq()/writeq() on 32-bit too") and
follow-on cleanups.

This unfortunately leads to pushing non-atomic definitions of readq() and
write() to various x86-only drivers that in the meantime started using the
definitions in the x86 version of <asm/io.h>.  However as discussed
exhaustively, this is actually the right thing to do, because the right
way to split a 64-bit transaction is hardware dependent and therefore
belongs in the hardware driver (eg mpt2sas needs a spinlock to make sure
no other accesses occur in between the two halves of the access).

Build tested on 32- and 64-bit x86 allmodconfig.

Apps are increasingly using more than 1024 file descriptors.  See
discussion in several distro bug trackers, e.g.  BugLink:
http://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/663090
https://issues.rpath.com/browse/RPL-2054

You don't want to raise the default soft limit, since that might break
apps that use select(), but it's safe to raise the default hard limit;
that way, apps that know they need lots of file descriptors can raise
their soft limit without needing root, and without user intervention.

Ubuntu is doing this with a kernel change because they have a policy of
not changing kernel defaults in userland.

While 4096 might not be enough for *all* apps, it seems to be plenty for
the apps I've seen lately that are unhappy with 1024.

Currently on nommu arch mmap(),mremap() and munmap() doesn't do
page_align() which isn't consist with mmu arch and cause some issues.

First, some drivers' mmap() function depends on vma->vm_end - vma->start
is page aligned which is true on mmu arch but not on nommu.  eg: uvc
camera driver.

Second munmap() may return -EINVAL[split file] error in cases when end is
not page aligned(passed into from userspace) but vma->vm_end is aligned
dure to split or driver's mmap() ops.

Add page alignment to fix those issues.

The zone->lru_lock is heavily contented in workload where activate_page()
is frequently used.  We could do batch activate_page() to reduce the lock
contention.  The batched pages will be added into zone list when the pool
is full or page reclaim is trying to drain them.

For example, in a 4 socket 64 CPU system, create a sparse file and 64
processes, processes shared map to the file.  Each process read access the
whole file and then exit.  The process exit will do unmap_vmas() and cause
a lot of activate_page() call.  In such workload, we saw about 58% total
time reduction with below patch.  Other workloads with a lot of
activate_page also benefits a lot too.

Andrew Morton suggested activate_page() and putback_lru_pages() should
follow the same path to active pages, but this is hard to implement (see
commit 7a608572 ("Revert "mm: batch activate_page() to reduce lock
contention")).  On the other hand, do we really need putback_lru_pages()
to follow the same path?  I tested several FIO/FFSB benchmark (about 20
scripts for each benchmark) in 3 machines here from 2 sockets to 4
sockets.  My test doesn't show anything significant with/without below
patch (there is slight difference but mostly some noise which we found
even without below patch before).  Below patch basically returns to the
same as my first post.

The copy_to_user_page() function is supposed to flush the icache on the
memory that was written, but the current asm-generic version lacks that
logic.  While normally it isn't a big deal as the asm-generic version of
icache flushing is a stub, it is a deal for ports that want to use the
asm-generic version as a baseline and then overlay its own specific parts
(like icache flushing).

I believe I found a problem in __alloc_pages_slowpath, which allows a
process to get stuck endlessly looping, even when lots of memory is
available.

Running an I/O and memory intensive stress-test I see a 0-order page
allocation with __GFP_IO and __GFP_WAIT, running on a system with very
little free memory.  Right about the same time that the stress-test gets
killed by the OOM-killer, the utility trying to allocate memory gets stuck
in __alloc_pages_slowpath even though most of the systems memory was freed
by the oom-kill of the stress-test.

The utility ends up looping from the rebalance label down through the
wait_iff_congested continiously.  Because order=0,
__alloc_pages_direct_compact skips the call to get_page_from_freelist.
Because all of the reclaimable memory on the system has already been
reclaimed, __alloc_pages_direct_reclaim skips the call to
get_page_from_freelist.  Since there is no __GFP_FS flag, the block with
__alloc_pages_may_oom is skipped.  The loop hits the wait_iff_congested,
then jumps back to rebalance without ever trying to
get_page_from_freelist.  This loop repeats infinitely.

The test case is pretty pathological.  Running a mix of I/O stress-tests
that do a lot of fork() and consume all of the system memory, I can pretty
reliably hit this on 600 nodes, in about 12 hours.  32GB/node.

The noswapaccount parameter has been deprecated since 2.6.38 without any
complaints from users so we can remove it.  swapaccount=0|1 can be used
instead.

As we are removing the parameter we can also clean up swapaccount because
it doesn't have to accept an empty string anymore (to match noswapaccount)
and so we can push = into __setup macro rather than checking "=1" resp.

In show_numa_map() we collect statistics into a numa_maps structure.
Since the number of NUMA nodes can be very large, this structure is not a
candidate for stack allocation.

Instead of going thru a kmalloc()+kfree() cycle each time show_numa_map()
is invoked, perform the allocation just once when /proc/pid/numa_maps is
opened.

Performing the allocation when numa_maps is opened, and thus before a
reference to the target tasks mm is taken, eliminates a potential
stalemate condition in the oom-killer as originally described by Hugh
Dickins:

  ... imagine what happens if the system is out of memory, and the mm
  we're looking at is selected for killing by the OOM killer: while
  we wait in __get_free_page for more memory, no memory is freed
  from the selected mm because it cannot reach exit_mmap while we hold
  that reference.

Moving show_numa_map() from mempolicy.c to task_mmu.c solves several
issues.

  - Having the show() operation "miles away" from the corresponding
    seq_file iteration operations is a maintenance burden.

  - The need to export ad hoc info like struct proc_maps_private is
    eliminated.

  - The implementation of show_numa_map() can be improved in a simple
    manner by cooperating with the other seq_file operations (start,
    stop, etc) -- something that would be messy to do without this
    change.

When CONFIG_TMPFS=n mpol_to_str() is not declared in mempolicy.h.
However, in the NUMA case, the definition is always compiled.

Since it is not strictly true that tmpfs is the only client, and since the
symbol was always lurking around anyways, export mpol_to_str()
unconditionally.  Furthermore, this will allow us to move show_numa_map()
out of mempolicy.c and into the procfs subsystem.

In commit 48fce342 ("mempolicies: unexport get_vma_policy()")
get_vma_policy() was marked static as all clients were local to
mempolicy.c.

However, the decision to generate /proc/pid/numa_maps in the numa memory
policy code and outside the procfs subsystem introduces an artificial
interdependency between the two systems.  Exporting get_vma_policy() once
again is the first step to clean up this interdependency.
