      mm: fix GFP_THISNODE callers and clarify · e97ca8e5
      Johannes Weiner 提交于
      GFP_THISNODE is for callers that implement their own clever fallback to
      remote nodes.  It restricts the allocation to the specified node and
      does not invoke reclaim, assuming that the caller will take care of it
      when the fallback fails, e.g.  through a subsequent allocation request
      without GFP_THISNODE set.
      
      However, many current GFP_THISNODE users only want the node exclusive
      aspect of the flag, without actually implementing their own fallback or
      triggering reclaim if necessary.  This results in things like page
      migration failing prematurely even when there is easily reclaimable
      memory available, unless kswapd happens to be running already or a
      concurrent allocation attempt triggers the necessary reclaim.
      
      Convert all callsites that don't implement their own fallback strategy
      to __GFP_THISNODE.  This restricts the allocation a single node too, but
      at the same time allows the allocator to enter the slowpath, wake
      kswapd, and invoke direct reclaim if necessary, to make the allocation
      happen when memory is full.

      include cleanup: Update gfp.h and slab.h includes to prepare for breaking... · 5a0e3ad6
      Tejun Heo 提交于
      include cleanup: Update gfp.h and slab.h includes to prepare for breaking implicit slab.h inclusion from percpu.h
      
      percpu.h is included by sched.h and module.h and thus ends up being
      included when building most .c files.  percpu.h includes slab.h which
      in turn includes gfp.h making everything defined by the two files
      universally available and complicating inclusion dependencies.
      
      percpu.h -> slab.h dependency is about to be removed.  Prepare for
      this change by updating users of gfp and slab facilities include those
      headers directly instead of assuming availability.  As this conversion
      needs to touch large number of source files, the following script is
      used as the basis of conversion.
      
        http://userweb.kernel.org/~tj/misc/slabh-sweep.py
      
      The script does the followings.
      
      * Scan files for gfp and slab usages and update includes such that
        only the necessary includes are there.  ie. if only gfp is used,
        gfp.h, if slab is used, slab.h.
      
      * When the script inserts a new include, it looks at the include
        blocks and try to put the new include such that its order conforms
        to its surrounding.  It's put in the include block which contains
        core kernel includes, in the same order that the rest are ordered -
        alphabetical, Christmas tree, rev-Xmas-tree or at the end if there
        doesn't seem to be any matching order.
      
      * If the script can't find a place to put a new include (mostly
        because the file doesn't have fitting include block), it prints out
        an error message indicating which .h file needs to be added to the
        file.
      
      The conversion was done in the following steps.
      
      1. The initial automatic conversion of all .c files updated slightly
         over 4000 files, deleting around 700 includes and adding ~480 gfp.h
         and ~3000 slab.h inclusions.  The script emitted errors for ~400
         files.
      
      2. Each error was manually checked.  Some didn't need the inclusion,
         some needed manual addition while adding it to implementation .h or
         embedding .c file was more appropriate for others.  This step added
         inclusions to around 150 files.
      
      3. The script was run again and the output was compared to the edits
         from #2 to make sure no file was left behind.
      
      4. Several build tests were done and a couple of problems were fixed.
         e.g. lib/decompress_*.c used malloc/free() wrappers around slab
         APIs requiring slab.h to be added manually.
      
      5. The script was run on all .h files but without automatically
         editing them as sprinkling gfp.h and slab.h inclusions around .h
         files could easily lead to inclusion dependency hell.  Most gfp.h
         inclusion directives were ignored as stuff from gfp.h was usually
         wildly available and often used in preprocessor macros.  Each
         slab.h inclusion directive was examined and added manually as
         necessary.
      
      6. percpu.h was updated not to include slab.h.
      
      7. Build test were done on the following configurations and failures
         were fixed.  CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL was turned off for all tests (as my
         distributed build env didn't work with gcov compiles) and a few
         more options had to be turned off depending on archs to make things
         build (like ipr on powerpc/64 which failed due to missing writeq).
      
         * x86 and x86_64 UP and SMP allmodconfig and a custom test config.
         * powerpc and powerpc64 SMP allmodconfig
         * sparc and sparc64 SMP allmodconfig
         * ia64 SMP allmodconfig
         * s390 SMP allmodconfig
         * alpha SMP allmodconfig
         * um on x86_64 SMP allmodconfig
      
      8. percpu.h modifications were reverted so that it could be applied as
         a separate patch and serve as bisection point.
      
      Given the fact that I had only a couple of failures from tests on step
      6, I'm fairly confident about the coverage of this conversion patch.
      If there is a breakage, it's likely to be something in one of the arch
      headers which should be easily discoverable easily on most builds of
      the specific arch.

      powerpc/cell: Make ptcal more reliable · 37cd8ed9
      Gerhard Stenzel 提交于
      There have been a series of checkstops on QS21 related to
      ptcal being set up incorrectly. On systems that only
      have memory on a single node, ptcal fails when it gets
      a pointer to memory on the remote node.
      
      Moreover, agressive prefetching in memcpy and other
      functions may accidentally touch the first cache line
      of the page that we reserve for ptcal, which causes
      an ECC checkstop.
      
      We now allocate pages only from the specified node, moves the
      ptcal area into the middle of the allocated page to avoid
      potential prefetch problems and prints the address of the
      ptcal area to facilitate diagnostics.

      powerpc: Support for relocatable kdump kernel · 54622f10
      Mohan Kumar M 提交于
      This adds relocatable kernel support for kdump. With this one can
      use the same regular kernel to capture the kdump. A signature (0xfeed1234)
      is passed in r6 from panic code to the next kernel through kexec_sequence
      and purgatory code. The signature is used to differentiate between
      kdump kernel and non-kdump kernels.
      
      The purgatory code compares the signature and sets the __kdump_flag in
      head_64.S.  During the boot up, kernel code checks __kdump_flag and if it
      is set, the kernel will behave as relocatable kdump kernel. This kernel
      will boot at the address where it was loaded by kexec-tools ie. at the
      address reserved through crashkernel boot parameter.
      
      CONFIG_CRASH_DUMP depends on CONFIG_RELOCATABLE option to build kdump
      kernel as relocatable. So the same kernel can be used as production and
      kdump kernel.
      
      This patch incorporates the changes suggested by Paul Mackerras to avoid
      GOT use and to avoid two copies of the code.

      [POWERPC] cell: add RAS support · acf7d768
      Benjamin Herrenschmidt 提交于
      This is a first version of support for the Cell BE "Reliability,
      Availability and Serviceability" features.
      
      It doesn't yet handle some of the RAS interrupts (the ones described in
      iic_is/iic_irr), I'm still working on a proper way to expose these. They
      are essentially a cascaded controller by themselves (sic !) though I may
      just handle them locally to the iic driver. I need also to sync with
      David Erb on the way he hooked in the performance monitor interrupt.
      
      So that's all for 2.6.17 and I'll do more work on that with my rework of
      the powerpc interrupt layer that I'm hacking on at the moment.
