Once a structure goes over PAGE_SIZE*2, we see occasional allocation failures. Some people have chosen to switch over to things like vmalloc() that will let them keep array-like access to such a large structures. But, vmalloc() has plenty of downsides. Here's an alternative. I think it's what Andrew was suggesting here: http://lkml.org/lkml/2009/7/2/518 I call it a flexible array. It does all of its work in PAGE_SIZE bits, so never does an order>0 allocation. The base level has PAGE_SIZE-2*sizeof(int) bytes of storage for pointers to the second level. So, with a 32-bit arch, you get about 4MB (4183112 bytes) of total storage when the objects pack nicely into a page. It is half that on 64-bit because the pointers are twice the size. There's a table detailing this in the code. There are kerneldocs for the functions, but here's an overview: flex_array_alloc() - dynamically allocate a base structure flex_array_free() - free the array and all of the second-level pages flex_array_free_parts() - free the second-level pages, but not the base (for static bases) flex_array_put() - copy into the array at the given index flex_array_get() - copy out of the array at the given index flex_array_prealloc() - preallocate the second-level pages between the given indexes to guarantee no allocs will occur at put() time. We could also potentially just pass the "element_size" into each of the API functions instead of storing it internally. That would get us one more base pointer on 32-bit. I've been testing this by running it in userspace. The header and patch that I've been using are here, as well as the little script I'm using to generate the size table which goes in the kerneldocs. http://sr71.net/~dave/linux/flexarray/ [akpm@linux-foundation.org: coding-style fixes] Signed-off-by: NDave Hansen <dave@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Reviewed-by: NKAMEZAWA Hiroyuki <kamezawa.hiroyu@jp.fujitsu.com> Signed-off-by: NAndrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: NLinus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

The generic atomic64_t implementation in lib/ did not export the functions it defined, which means that modules that use atomic64_t would not link on platforms (such as 32-bit powerpc). For example, trying to build a kernel with CONFIG_NET_RDS on such a platform would fail with: ERROR: "atomic64_read" [net/rds/rds.ko] undefined! ERROR: "atomic64_set" [net/rds/rds.ko] undefined! Fix this by exporting the atomic64_t functions to modules. (I export the entire API even if it's not all currently used by in-tree modules to avoid having to continue fixing this in dribs and drabs) Signed-off-by: NRoland Dreier <rolandd@cisco.com> Acked-by: NPaul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org> Signed-off-by: NAndrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: NLinus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

Linus noticed how unclean and buggy the overlap() function is: - It uses convoluted (and bug-causing) positive checks for range overlap - instead of using a more natural negative check. - Even the positive checks are buggy: a positive intersection check has four natural cases while we checked only for three, missing the (addr < start && addr2 == end) case for example. - The variables are mis-named, making it non-obvious how the check was done. - It needlessly uses u64 instead of unsigned long. Since these are kernel memory pointers and we explicitly exclude highmem ranges anyway we cannot ever overflow 32 bits, even if we could. (and on 64-bit it doesnt matter anyway) All in one, this function needs a total revamp. I used Linus's suggestions minus the paranoid checks (we cannot overflow really because if we get totally bad DMA ranges passed far more things break in the systems than just DMA debugging). I also fixed a few other small details i noticed. Reported-by: NLinus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org> Cc: Joerg Roedel <joerg.roedel@amd.com> Signed-off-by: NIngo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>

(feature suggested by Sergey Senozhatsky) Kmemleak needs to track all the memory allocations but some of these happen before kmemleak is initialised. These are stored in an internal buffer which may be exceeded in some kernel configurations. This patch adds a configuration option with a default value of 400 and also removes the stack dump when the early log buffer is exceeded.

The new generic checksum code has a small dependency on endianess and worked only on big-endian systems. I could not find a nice efficient way to express this, so I added an #ifdef. Using 'result += le16_to_cpu(*buff);' would have worked as well, but would be slightly less efficient on big-endian systems and IMHO would not be clearer. Also fix a bug that prevents this from working on 64-bit machines. If you have a 64-bit CPU and want to use the generic checksum code, you should probably do some more optimizations anyway, but at least the code should not break.

Alan Cox reported that lockdep runs out of its stack-trace entries with certain configs: BUG: MAX_STACK_TRACE_ENTRIES too low This happens because there are 1024 hash buckets, each with a separate lock. Lockdep puts each lock into a separate lock class and tracks them independently. But in reality we never take more than one of the buckets, so they really belong into a single lock-class.

Many processor architectures have no 64-bit atomic instructions, but we need atomic64_t in order to support the perf_counter subsystem. This adds an implementation of 64-bit atomic operations using hashed spinlocks to provide atomicity. For each atomic operation, the address of the atomic64_t variable is hashed to an index into an array of 16 spinlocks. That spinlock is taken (with interrupts disabled) around the operation, which can then be coded non-atomically within the lock. On UP, all the spinlock manipulation goes away and we simply disable interrupts around each operation. In fact gcc eliminates the whole atomic64_lock variable as well.

It's theoretically possible that there are exception table entries which point into the (freed) init text of modules. These could cause future problems if other modules get loaded into that memory and cause an exception as we'd see the wrong fixup. The only case I know of is kvm-intel.ko (when CONFIG_CC_OPTIMIZE_FOR_SIZE=n). Amerigo fixed this long-standing FIXME in the x86 version, but this patch is more general. This implements trim_init_extable(); most archs are simple since they use the standard lib/extable.c sort code. Alpha and IA64 use relative addresses in their fixups, so thier trimming is a slight variation. Sparc32 is unique; it doesn't seem to define ARCH_HAS_SORT_EXTABLE, yet it defines its own sort_extable() which overrides the one in lib. It doesn't sort, so we have to mark deleted entries instead of actually trimming them.
