      x86-64: preserve large page mapping for 1st 2MB kernel txt with CONFIG_DEBUG_RODATA · b9af7c0d
      由 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: Interleave emulated nodes over physical nodes · adc19389
      由 David Rientjes 提交于 
      Add interleaved NUMA emulation support

This patch interleaves emulated nodes over the system's physical
nodes. This is required for interleave optimizations since
mempolicies, for example, operate by iterating over a nodemask and
act without knowledge of node distances.  It can also be used for
testing memory latencies and NUMA bugs in the kernel.

There're a couple of ways to do this:

 - divide the number of emulated nodes by the number of physical
   nodes and allocate the result on each physical node, or

 - allocate each successive emulated node on a different physical
   node until all memory is exhausted.

The disadvantage of the first option is, depending on the asymmetry
in node capacities of each physical node, emulated nodes may
substantially differ in size on a particular physical node compared
to another.

The disadvantage of the second option is, also depending on the
asymmetry in node capacities of each physical node, there may be
more emulated nodes allocated on a single physical node as another.

This patch implements the second option; we sacrifice the
possibility that we may have slightly more emulated nodes on a
particular physical node compared to another in lieu of node size
asymmetry.

 [ Note that "node capacity" of a physical node is not only a
   function of its addressable range, but also is affected by
   subtracting out the amount of reserved memory over that range.
   NUMA emulation only deals with available, non-reserved memory
   quantities. ]

We ensure there is at least a minimal amount of available memory
allocated to each node.  We also make sure that at least this
amount of available memory is available in ZONE_DMA32 for any node
that includes both ZONE_DMA32 and ZONE_NORMAL.

This patch also cleans the emulation code up by no longer passing
the statically allocated struct bootnode array among the various
functions. This init.data array is not allocated on the stack since
it may be very large and thus it may be accessed at file scope.

The WARN_ON() for nodes_cover_memory() when faking proximity
domains is removed since it relies on successive nodes always
having greater start addresses than previous nodes; with
interleaving this is no longer always true.

      x86: Export srat physical topology · 8716273c
      由 David Rientjes 提交于 
      This is the counterpart to "x86: export k8 physical topology" for
SRAT. It is not as invasive because the acpi code already seperates
node setup into detection and registration steps, with the
exception of registering e820 active regions in
acpi_numa_memory_affinity_init().  This is now moved to
acpi_scan_nodes() if NUMA emulation is disabled or deferred.

acpi_numa_init() now returns a value which specifies whether an
underlying SRAT was located.  If so, that topology can be used by
the emulation code to interleave emulated nodes over physical nodes
or to register the nodes for ACPI.

acpi_get_nodes() may now be used to export the srat physical
topology of the machine for NUMA emulation.

      x86: Export k8 physical topology · 8ee2debc
      由 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.
