This patch hooks Calgary into the build, the x86-64 IOMMU
initialization paths, and introduces the Calgary specific bits. The
implementation draws inspiration from both PPC (which has support for
the same chip but requires firmware support which we don't have on
x86-64) and gart. Calgary is different from gart in that it support a
translation table per PHB, as opposed to the single gart aperture.
Changes from previous version:
* Addition of boot-time disablement for bus-level translation/isolation
(e.g, enable userspace DMA for things like X)
* Usage of newer IOMMU abstraction functions

This patch creates a new interface for IOMMUs by adding a centralized
location for IOMMU allocation (for translation tables/apertures) and
IOMMU initialization. In creating these, code was moved around for
abstraction, uniformity, and consiceness.
Take note of the move of the iommu_setup bootarg parsing code to
__setup. This is enabled by moving back the location of the aperture
allocation/detection to mem init (which while ugly, was already the
location of the swiotlb_init).
While a slight departure from the previous patch, I belive this provides
the true intention of the previous versions of the patch which changed
this code. It also makes the addition of the upcoming calgary code much
cleaner than previous patches.

Changes are largely identical to the i386 version:
* alternative #define are moved to the new alternative.h file.
* one new elf section with pointers to the lock prefixes which can be
nop'ed out for non-smp.
* two new elf sections simliar to the "classic" alternatives to
replace SMP code with simpler UP code.
* fixup headers to use alternative.h instead of defining their own
LOCK / LOCK_PREFIX macros.
The patch reuses the i386 version of the alternatives code to avoid code
duplication. The code in alternatives.c was shuffled around a bit to
reduce the number of #ifdefs needed. It also got some tweaks needed for
x86_64 (vsyscall page handling) and new features (noreplacement option
which was x86_64 only up to now). Debug printk's are changed from

Currently in the do_page_fault() code path, we call notify_die(DIE_PAGE_FAULT,
...) to notify the page fault. Since notify_die() is highly overloaded, this
page fault notification is currently being sent to all the components
registered with register_die_notification() which uses the same die_chain to
loop for all the registered components which is unnecessary.
In order to optimize the do_page_fault() code path, this critical page fault
notification is now moved to different call chain and the test results showed
great improvements.
And the kprobes which is interested in this notifications, now registers onto
this new call chain only when it need to, i.e Kprobes now registers for page
fault notification only when their are an active probes and unregisters from
this page fault notification when no probes are active.
I have incorporated all the feedback given by Ananth and Keith and everyone,
and thanks for all the review feedback.
This patch:
Overloading of page fault notification with the notify_die() has performance
issues(since the only interested components for page fault is kprobes and/or
kdb) and hence this patch introduces the new notifier call chain exclusively
for page fault notifications their by avoiding notifying unnecessary
components in the do_page_fault() code path.

There are several instances of per_cpu(foo, raw_smp_processor_id()), which
is semantically equivalent to __get_cpu_var(foo) but without the warning
that smp_processor_id() can give if CONFIG_DEBUG_PREEMPT is enabled. For
those architectures with optimized per-cpu implementations, namely ia64,
powerpc, s390, sparc64 and x86_64, per_cpu() turns into more and slower
code than __get_cpu_var(), so it would be preferable to use __get_cpu_var
on those platforms.
This defines a __raw_get_cpu_var(x) macro which turns into per_cpu(x,
raw_smp_processor_id()) on architectures that use the generic per-cpu
implementation, and turns into __get_cpu_var(x) on the architectures that
have an optimized per-cpu implementation.

VGA_MAP_MEM translates to ioremap() on some architectures. It makes sense
to do this to vga_vram_base, because we're going to access memory between
vga_vram_base and vga_vram_end.
But it doesn't really make sense to map starting at vga_vram_end, because
we aren't going to access memory starting there. On ia64, which always has
to be different, ioremapping vga_vram_end gives you something completely
incompatible with ioremapped vga_vram_start, so vga_vram_size ends up being
nonsense.
As a bonus, we often know the size up front, so we can use ioremap()
correctly, rather than giving it a zero size.

Based on analysis&patch from Robert Hentosch
Observed on a Dell PE6850 with 16GB
The problem occurs very early on, when the kernel allocates space for the
temporary memory map called bootmap. The bootmap overlaps the EBDA region.
EBDA region is not historically reserved in the e820 mapping. When the
bootmap is freed it marks the EBDA region as usable.
If you notice in setup.c there is already code to work around the EBDA
in reserve_ebda_region(), this check however occurs after the bootmap
is allocated and doesn't prevent the bootmap from using this range.

The patch addresses a problem with ACPI SCI interrupt entry, which gets

corrects the code such that SCI IRQ is skipped and duplicate entry is
avoided. Second issue came up with VIA chipset, the problem was caused by
original patch assigning IRQs starting 16 and up. The VIA chipset uses
4-bit IRQ register for internal interrupt routing, and therefore cannot
handle IRQ numbers assigned to its devices. The patch corrects this
problem by allowing PCI IRQs below 16.

AMD K7/K8 CPUs only save/restore the FOP/FIP/FDP x87 registers in FXSAVE
when an exception is pending. This means the value leak through
context switches and allow processes to observe some x87 instruction
state of other processes.
This was actually documented by AMD, but nobody recognized it as
being different from Intel before.
The fix first adds an optimization: instead of unconditionally
calling FNCLEX after each FXSAVE test if ES is pending and skip
it when not needed. Then do a x87 load from a kernel variable to
clear FOP/FIP/FDP.
This means other processes always will only see a constant value
defined by the kernel in their FP state.
I took some pain to make sure to chose a variable that's already
in L1 during context switch to make the overhead of this low.
Also alternative() is used to patch away the new code on CPUs
who don't need it.
Patch for both i386/x86-64.
The problem was discovered originally by Jan Beulich. Richard

Current implementations define NODES_SHIFT in include/asm-xxx/numnodes.h for
each arch. Its definition is sometimes configurable. Indeed, ia64 defines 5
NODES_SHIFT values in the current git tree. But it looks a bit messy.
SGI-SN2(ia64) system requires 1024 nodes, and the number of nodes already has
been changeable by config. Suitable node's number may be changed in the
future even if it is other architecture. So, I wrote configurable node's
number.
This patch set defines just default value for each arch which needs multi
nodes except ia64. But, it is easy to change to configurable if necessary.
On ia64 the number of nodes can be already configured in generic ia64 and SN2
config. But, NODES_SHIFT is defined for DIG64 and HP'S machine too. So, I
changed it so that all platforms can be configured via CONFIG_NODES_SHIFT. It
would be simpler.

Implement memory hotadd without sparsemem. The memory in the SRAT
hotadd area is just preserved instead and can be activated later.
There are a few restrictions:
- Only one continuous hotadd area allowed per node
The main problem is dealing with the many buggy SRAT tables
that are out there. The strategy here is to reject anything
suspicious.

[ TBD: Problems pointed out by KAMEZAWA Hiroyuki <kamezawa.hiroyu@jp.fujitsu.com>:
1) Goto's rebuild_zonelist patch will not work if CONFIG_MEMORY_HOTPLUG=n.
Rebuilding zonelist is necessary when the system has just memory <
4G at boot, and hot add memory > 4G. because x86_64 has DMA32,
ZONE_NORAML is not included into zonelist at boot time if system
doesn't have memory >4G at boot.
[AK: should just force the higher zones at boot time when SRAT tells us]
2) zone and node's spanned_pages and present_pages are not incremented.
They should be.
For example, our server (ia64/Fujitsu PrimeQuest) can equip memory
from 4G to 1T(maybe 2T in future), and SRAT will *always* say we have
possible 1T +memory. (Microsoft requires "write all possible memory
in SRAT") When we reserve memmap for possible 1T memory, Linux will
not work well in +minimum 4G configuraion ;)

The kernel's implementation of notifier chains is unsafe. There is no
protection against entries being added to or removed from a chain while the
chain is in use. The issues were discussed in this thread:
http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-kernel&m=113018709002036&w=2
We noticed that notifier chains in the kernel fall into two basic usage
classes:
"Blocking" chains are always called from a process context
and the callout routines are allowed to sleep;
"Atomic" chains can be called from an atomic context and
the callout routines are not allowed to sleep.
We decided to codify this distinction and make it part of the API. Therefore
this set of patches introduces three new, parallel APIs: one for blocking
notifiers, one for atomic notifiers, and one for "raw" notifiers (which is
really just the old API under a new name). New kinds of data structures are
used for the heads of the chains, and new routines are defined for
registration, unregistration, and calling a chain. The three APIs are
explained in include/linux/notifier.h and their implementation is in
kernel/sys.c.
With atomic and blocking chains, the implementation guarantees that the chain
links will not be corrupted and that chain callers will not get messed up by
entries being added or removed. For raw chains the implementation provides no
guarantees at all; users of this API must provide their own protections. (The
idea was that situations may come up where the assumptions of the atomic and
blocking APIs are not appropriate, so it should be possible for users to
handle these things in their own way.)
There are some limitations, which should not be too hard to live with. For
atomic/blocking chains, registration and unregistration must always be done in
a process context since the chain is protected by a mutex/rwsem. Also, a
callout routine for a non-raw chain must not try to register or unregister
entries on its own chain. (This did happen in a couple of places and the code
had to be changed to avoid it.)
Since atomic chains may be called from within an NMI handler, they cannot use
spinlocks for synchronization. Instead we use RCU. The overhead falls almost
entirely in the unregister routine, which is okay since unregistration is much
less frequent that calling a chain.
Here is the list of chains that we adjusted and their classifications. None
of them use the raw API, so for the moment it is only a placeholder.

please let us know or submit a patch to fix them. Note that any chain that
gets called very frequently should be atomic, because the rwsem read-locking
used for blocking chains is very likely to incur cache misses on SMP systems.
(However, if the chain's callout routines may sleep then the chain cannot be
atomic.)

This patchset provides a new (written from scratch) implementation of robust
futexes, called "lightweight robust futexes". We believe this new
implementation is faster and simpler than the vma-based robust futex solutions
presented before, and we'd like this patchset to be adopted in the upstream
kernel. This is version 1 of the patchset.
Background
----------
What are robust futexes? To answer that, we first need to understand what
futexes are: normal futexes are special types of locks that in the
noncontended case can be acquired/released from userspace without having to
enter the kernel.
A futex is in essence a user-space address, e.g. a 32-bit lock variable
field. If userspace notices contention (the lock is already owned and someone
else wants to grab it too) then the lock is marked with a value that says
"there's a waiter pending", and the sys_futex(FUTEX_WAIT) syscall is used to
wait for the other guy to release it. The kernel creates a 'futex queue'
internally, so that it can later on match up the waiter with the waker -
without them having to know about each other. When the owner thread releases
the futex, it notices (via the variable value) that there were waiter(s)
pending, and does the sys_futex(FUTEX_WAKE) syscall to wake them up. Once all
waiters have taken and released the lock, the futex is again back to
'uncontended' state, and there's no in-kernel state associated with it. The
kernel completely forgets that there ever was a futex at that address. This
method makes futexes very lightweight and scalable.
"Robustness" is about dealing with crashes while holding a lock: if a process
exits prematurely while holding a pthread_mutex_t lock that is also shared
with some other process (e.g. yum segfaults while holding a pthread_mutex_t,
or yum is kill -9-ed), then waiters for that lock need to be notified that the
last owner of the lock exited in some irregular way.
To solve such types of problems, "robust mutex" userspace APIs were created:
pthread_mutex_lock() returns an error value if the owner exits prematurely -
and the new owner can decide whether the data protected by the lock can be
recovered safely.
There is a big conceptual problem with futex based mutexes though: it is the
kernel that destroys the owner task (e.g. due to a SEGFAULT), but the kernel
cannot help with the cleanup: if there is no 'futex queue' (and in most cases
there is none, futexes being fast lightweight locks) then the kernel has no
information to clean up after the held lock! Userspace has no chance to clean
up after the lock either - userspace is the one that crashes, so it has no
opportunity to clean up. Catch-22.
In practice, when e.g. yum is kill -9-ed (or segfaults), a system reboot is
needed to release that futex based lock. This is one of the leading
bugreports against yum.
To solve this problem, 'Robust Futex' patches were created and presented on
lkml: the one written by Todd Kneisel and David Singleton is the most advanced
at the moment. These patches all tried to extend the futex abstraction by
registering futex-based locks in the kernel - and thus give the kernel a
chance to clean up.
E.g. in David Singleton's robust-futex-6.patch, there are 3 new syscall
variants to sys_futex(): FUTEX_REGISTER, FUTEX_DEREGISTER and FUTEX_RECOVER.
The kernel attaches such robust futexes to vmas (via
vma->vm_file->f_mapping->robust_head), and at do_exit() time, all vmas are
searched to see whether they have a robust_head set.
Lots of work went into the vma-based robust-futex patch, and recently it has
improved significantly, but unfortunately it still has two fundamental
problems left:
- they have quite complex locking and race scenarios. The vma-based
patches had been pending for years, but they are still not completely
reliable.
- they have to scan _every_ vma at sys_exit() time, per thread!
The second disadvantage is a real killer: pthread_exit() takes around 1
microsecond on Linux, but with thousands (or tens of thousands) of vmas every
pthread_exit() takes a millisecond or more, also totally destroying the CPU's
L1 and L2 caches!
This is very much noticeable even for normal process sys_exit_group() calls:
the kernel has to do the vma scanning unconditionally! (this is because the
kernel has no knowledge about how many robust futexes there are to be cleaned
up, because a robust futex might have been registered in another task, and the
futex variable might have been simply mmap()-ed into this process's address
space).
This huge overhead forced the creation of CONFIG_FUTEX_ROBUST, but worse than
that: the overhead makes robust futexes impractical for any type of generic
Linux distribution.
So it became clear to us, something had to be done. Last week, when Thomas
Gleixner tried to fix up the vma-based robust futex patch in the -rt tree, he
found a handful of new races and we were talking about it and were analyzing
the situation. At that point a fundamentally different solution occured to
me. This patchset (written in the past couple of days) implements that new
solution. Be warned though - the patchset does things we normally dont do in
Linux, so some might find the approach disturbing. Parental advice
recommended ;-)
New approach to robust futexes
------------------------------
At the heart of this new approach there is a per-thread private list of robust
locks that userspace is holding (maintained by glibc) - which userspace list
is registered with the kernel via a new syscall [this registration happens at
most once per thread lifetime]. At do_exit() time, the kernel checks this
user-space list: are there any robust futex locks to be cleaned up?
In the common case, at do_exit() time, there is no list registered, so the
cost of robust futexes is just a simple current->robust_list != NULL
comparison. If the thread has registered a list, then normally the list is
empty. If the thread/process crashed or terminated in some incorrect way then
the list might be non-empty: in this case the kernel carefully walks the list
[not trusting it], and marks all locks that are owned by this thread with the
FUTEX_OWNER_DEAD bit, and wakes up one waiter (if any).
The list is guaranteed to be private and per-thread, so it's lockless. There
is one race possible though: since adding to and removing from the list is
done after the futex is acquired by glibc, there is a few instructions window
for the thread (or process) to die there, leaving the futex hung. To protect
against this possibility, userspace (glibc) also maintains a simple per-thread
'list_op_pending' field, to allow the kernel to clean up if the thread dies
after acquiring the lock, but just before it could have added itself to the
list. Glibc sets this list_op_pending field before it tries to acquire the
futex, and clears it after the list-add (or list-remove) has finished.
That's all that is needed - all the rest of robust-futex cleanup is done in
userspace [just like with the previous patches].
Ulrich Drepper has implemented the necessary glibc support for this new
mechanism, which fully enables robust mutexes. (Ulrich plans to commit these
changes to glibc-HEAD later today.)
Key differences of this userspace-list based approach, compared to the vma
based method:
- it's much, much faster: at thread exit time, there's no need to loop
over every vma (!), which the VM-based method has to do. Only a very
simple 'is the list empty' op is done.
- no VM changes are needed - 'struct address_space' is left alone.
- no registration of individual locks is needed: robust mutexes dont need
any extra per-lock syscalls. Robust mutexes thus become a very lightweight
primitive - so they dont force the application designer to do a hard choice
between performance and robustness - robust mutexes are just as fast.
- no per-lock kernel allocation happens.
- no resource limits are needed.
- no kernel-space recovery call (FUTEX_RECOVER) is needed.
- the implementation and the locking is "obvious", and there are no
interactions with the VM.
Performance
-----------
I have benchmarked the time needed for the kernel to process a list of 1
million (!) held locks, using the new method [on a 2GHz CPU]:
- with FUTEX_WAIT set [contended mutex]: 130 msecs
- without FUTEX_WAIT set [uncontended mutex]: 30 msecs
I have also measured an approach where glibc does the lock notification [which
it currently does for !pshared robust mutexes], and that took 256 msecs -
clearly slower, due to the 1 million FUTEX_WAKE syscalls userspace had to do.
(1 million held locks are unheard of - we expect at most a handful of locks to
be held at a time. Nevertheless it's nice to know that this approach scales
nicely.)
Implementation details
----------------------
The patch adds two new syscalls: one to register the userspace list, and one
to query the registered list pointer:
asmlinkage long
sys_set_robust_list(struct robust_list_head __user *head,
size_t len);
asmlinkage long
sys_get_robust_list(int pid, struct robust_list_head __user **head_ptr,
size_t __user *len_ptr);
List registration is very fast: the pointer is simply stored in
current->robust_list. [Note that in the future, if robust futexes become
widespread, we could extend sys_clone() to register a robust-list head for new
threads, without the need of another syscall.]
So there is virtually zero overhead for tasks not using robust futexes, and
even for robust futex users, there is only one extra syscall per thread
lifetime, and the cleanup operation, if it happens, is fast and
straightforward. The kernel doesnt have any internal distinction between
robust and normal futexes.
If a futex is found to be held at exit time, the kernel sets the highest bit
of the futex word:
#define FUTEX_OWNER_DIED 0x40000000
and wakes up the next futex waiter (if any). User-space does the rest of
the cleanup.
Otherwise, robust futexes are acquired by glibc by putting the TID into the
futex field atomically. Waiters set the FUTEX_WAITERS bit:
#define FUTEX_WAITERS 0x80000000
and the remaining bits are for the TID.
Testing, architecture support
-----------------------------
I've tested the new syscalls on x86 and x86_64, and have made sure the parsing
of the userspace list is robust [ ;-) ] even if the list is deliberately
corrupted.
i386 and x86_64 syscalls are wired up at the moment, and Ulrich has tested the
new glibc code (on x86_64 and i386), and it works for his robust-mutex
testcases.
All other architectures should build just fine too - but they wont have the
new syscalls yet.
Architectures need to implement the new futex_atomic_cmpxchg_inuser() inline
function before writing up the syscalls (that function returns -ENOSYS right
now).
This patch:
Add placeholder futex_atomic_cmpxchg_inuser() implementations to every
architecture that supports futexes. It returns -ENOSYS.

This new domain will come into play only on multi-core systems with shared

degeneration code. This new domain can be also used for implementing power

o check_timer() routine fails while second kernel is booting after a crash
on an opetron box. Problem happens because timer vector (0x31) seems to be
locked.
o After a system crash, it is not safe to service interrupts any more, hence
interrupts are disabled. This leads to pending interrupts at LAPIC. LAPIC
sends these interrupts to the CPU during early boot of second kernel. Other
pending interrupts are discarded saying unexpected trap but timer interrupt
is serviced and CPU does not issue an LAPIC EOI because it think this
interrupt came from i8259 and sends ack to 8259. This leads to vector 0x31
locking as LAPIC does not clear respective ISR and keeps on waiting for
EOI.
o This patch issues extra EOI for the pending interrupts who have ISR set.
o Though today only timer seems to be the special case because in early
boot it thinks interrupts are coming from i8259 and uses
mask_and_ack_8259A() as ack handler and does not issue LAPIC EOI. But
probably doing it in generic manner for all vectors makes sense.

While the modular aspect of the respective i386 patch doesn't apply to
x86-64 (as the top level page directory entry is shared between modules
and the base kernel), handlers registered with register_die_notifier()
are still under similar constraints for touching ioremap()ed or
vmalloc()ed memory. The likelihood of this problem becoming visible is
of course significantly lower, as the assigned virtual addresses would
have to cross a 2**39 byte boundary. This is because the callback gets
invoked
(a) in the page fault path before the top level page table propagation
gets carried out (hence a fault to propagate the top level page table
entry/entries mapping to module's code/data would nest infinitly) and
(b) in the NMI path, where nested faults must absolutely not happen,
since otherwise the IRET from the nested fault re-enables NMIs,
potentially resulting in nested NMI occurences.

Implement the half-closed devices notifiation, by adding a new POLLRDHUP
(and its alias EPOLLRDHUP) bit to the existing poll/select sets. Since the
existing POLLHUP handling, that does not report correctly half-closed
devices, was feared to be changed, this implementation leaves the current
POLLHUP reporting unchanged and simply add a new bit that is set in the few
places where it makes sense. The same thing was discussed and conceptually
agreed quite some time ago:
http://lkml.org/lkml/2003/7/12/116
Since this new event bit is added to the existing Linux poll infrastruture,
even the existing poll/select system calls will be able to use it. As far
as the existing POLLHUP handling, the patch leaves it as is. The
pollrdhup-2.6.16.rc5-0.10.diff defines the POLLRDHUP for all the existing
archs and sets the bit in the six relevant files. The other attached diff
is the simple change required to sys/epoll.h to add the EPOLLRDHUP
definition.
There is "a stupid program" to test POLLRDHUP delivery here:
http://www.xmailserver.org/pollrdhup-test.c
It tests poll(2), but since the delivery is same epoll(2) will work equally.

While working on these patch set, I found several possible cleanup on x86-64
and ia64.
akpm: I stole this from Andi's queue.
Not only does it clean up bitops. It also unrelatedly changes the prototype
of pci_mmcfg_init() and removes its arch_initcall(). It seems that the wrong
two patches got joined together, but this is the one which has been tested.
This patch fixes the current x86_64 build error (the pci_mmcfg_init()
declaration in arch/i386/pci/pci.h disagrees with the definition in
arch/x86_64/pci/mmconfig.c)
This also means that x86_64's pci_mmcfg_init() gets called in the same (new)
manner as x86's: from arch/i386/pci/init.c:pci_access_init(), rather than via
initcall.
The bitops cleanups came along for free.
All this worked OK in -mm testing (since 2.6.16-rc4-mm1) because x86_64 was
tested with both patches applied.

When we stop allocating percpu memory for not-possible CPUs we must not touch

2.6.16-rc3 uses hugetlb on-demand paging, but it doesn_t support hugetlb

From: David Gibson <david@gibson.dropbear.id.au>
Remove a test from the mprotect() path which checks that the mprotect()ed
range on a hugepage VMA is hugepage aligned (yes, really, the sense of
is_aligned_hugepage_range() is the opposite of what you'd guess :-/).
In fact, we don't need this test. If the given addresses match the
beginning/end of a hugepage VMA they must already be suitably aligned. If
they don't, then mprotect_fixup() will attempt to split the VMA. The very
first test in split_vma() will check for a badly aligned address on a
hugepage VMA and return -EINVAL if necessary.
From: "Chen, Kenneth W" <kenneth.w.chen@intel.com>
On i386 and x86-64, pte flag _PAGE_PSE collides with _PAGE_PROTNONE. The
identify of hugetlb pte is lost when changing page protection via mprotect.
A page fault occurs later will trigger a bug check in huge_pte_alloc().
The fix is to always make new pte a hugetlb pte and also to clean up
legacy code where _PAGE_PRESENT is forced on in the pre-faulting day.

Currently, copy-on-write may change the physical address of a page even if the
user requested that the page is pinned in memory (either by mlock or by
get_user_pages). This happens if the process forks meanwhile, and the parent
writes to that page. As a result, the page is orphaned: in case of
get_user_pages, the application will never see any data hardware DMA's into
this page after the COW. In case of mlock'd memory, the parent is not getting
the realtime/security benefits of mlock.
In particular, this affects the Infiniband modules which do DMA from and into
user pages all the time.
This patch adds madvise options to control whether memory range is inherited
across fork. Useful e.g. for when hardware is doing DMA from/into these
pages. Could also be useful to an application wanting to speed up its forks
by cutting large areas out of consideration.

[description from AK]
The IBM Summit 3 chipset doesn't implement the HPET timer replacement
option. Since the current Linux code relies on it use a mixed mode with
both PIT for the interrupt and HPET counters for the time keeping. That
was already implemented, but didn't work properly because it was still
using the last interrupt offset in HPET. This resulted in x460 not
booting. Fix this up by using the free running HPET counter.
Shouldn't affect any other machine because they either use full HPET mode
or no HPET at all.
TBD needs a similar 32bit fix.

The *at patches introduced fstatat and, due to inusfficient research, I
used the newfstat functions generally as the guideline. The result is that
on 32-bit platforms we don't have all the information needed to implement
fstatat64.
This patch modifies the code to pass up 64-bit information if
__ARCH_WANT_STAT64 is defined. I renamed the syscall entry point to make
this clear. Other archs will continue to use the existing code. On x86-64
the compat code is implemented using a new sys32_ function. this is what
is done for the other stat syscalls as well.
This patch might break some other archs (those which define
__ARCH_WANT_STAT64 and which already wired up the syscall). Yet others
might need changes to accomodate the compatibility mode. I really don't
want to do that work because all this stat handling is a mess (more so in
glibc, but the kernel is also affected). It should be done by the arch
maintainers. I'll provide some stand-alone test shortly. Those who are
eager could compile glibc and run 'make check' (no installation needed).

the PIT timer runs at a incorrect frequency. This patch adds a new

using the PMTimer. It requires the earlier patch that allows to run the

Specifying apicpmtimer implies apicmaintimer.
The option defaults to off for now.
I tested it on a few systems and the resulting APIC timer frequencies

Another piece from the no-idle-tick patch.
This can be enabled with the "apicmaintimer" option.
This is mainly useful when the PIT/HPET interrupt is unreliable.
Note there are some systems that are known to stop the APIC
timer in C3. For those it will never work, but this case
should be automatically detected.
It also only works with PM timer right now. When HPET is used
the way the main timer handler computes the delay doesn't work.
It should be a bit more efficient because there is one less
regular interrupt to process on the boot processor.

The patch implements cpu topology exportation by sysfs.
Items (attributes) are similar to /proc/cpuinfo.
1) /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpuX/topology/physical_package_id:
represent the physical package id of cpu X;
2) /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpuX/topology/core_id:
represent the cpu core id to cpu X;
3) /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpuX/topology/thread_siblings:
represent the thread siblings to cpu X in the same core;
4) /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpuX/topology/core_siblings:
represent the thread siblings to cpu X in the same physical package;
To implement it in an architecture-neutral way, a new source file,
driver/base/topology.c, is to export the 5 attributes.
If one architecture wants to support this feature, it just needs to
implement 4 defines, typically in file include/asm-XXX/topology.h.
The 4 defines are:
#define topology_physical_package_id(cpu)
#define topology_core_id(cpu)
#define topology_thread_siblings(cpu)
#define topology_core_siblings(cpu)
The type of **_id is int.
The type of siblings is cpumask_t.
To be consistent on all architectures, the 4 attributes should have
deafult values if their values are unavailable. Below is the rule.
1) physical_package_id: If cpu has no physical package id, -1 is the
default value.
2) core_id: If cpu doesn't support multi-core, its core id is 0.
3) thread_siblings: Just include itself, if the cpu doesn't support
HT/multi-thread.
4) core_siblings: Just include itself, if the cpu doesn't support
multi-core and HT/Multi-thread.
So be careful when declaring the 4 defines in include/asm-XXX/topology.h.
If an attribute isn't defined on an architecture, it won't be exported.

EDAC requires a way to scrub memory if an ECC error is found and the chipset
does not do the work automatically. That means rewriting memory locations
atomically with respect to all CPUs _and_ bus masters. That means we can't
use atomic_add(foo, 0) as it gets optimised for non-SMP
This adds a function to include/asm-foo/atomic.h for the platforms currently
supported which implements a scrub of a mapped block.
It also adjusts a few other files include order where atomic.h is included

Mark a number of functions as 'must inline'. The functions affected by this
patch need to be inlined because they use knowledge that their arguments are
constant so that most of the function optimizes away. At this point this

From: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>
This is the latest version of the scheduler cache-hot-auto-tune patch.
The first problem was that detection time scaled with O(N^2), which is
unacceptable on larger SMP and NUMA systems. To solve this:
- I've added a 'domain distance' function, which is used to cache
measurement results. Each distance is only measured once. This means
that e.g. on NUMA distances of 0, 1 and 2 might be measured, on HT
distances 0 and 1, and on SMP distance 0 is measured. The code walks
the domain tree to determine the distance, so it automatically follows
whatever hierarchy an architecture sets up. This cuts down on the boot
time significantly and removes the O(N^2) limit. The only assumption
is that migration costs can be expressed as a function of domain
distance - this covers the overwhelming majority of existing systems,
and is a good guess even for more assymetric systems.
[ People hacking systems that have assymetries that break this
assumption (e.g. different CPU speeds) should experiment a bit with
the cpu_distance() function. Adding a ->migration_distance factor to
the domain structure would be one possible solution - but lets first
see the problem systems, if they exist at all. Lets not overdesign. ]
Another problem was that only a single cache-size was used for measuring
the cost of migration, and most architectures didnt set that variable
up. Furthermore, a single cache-size does not fit NUMA hierarchies with
L3 caches and does not fit HT setups, where different CPUs will often
have different 'effective cache sizes'. To solve this problem:
- Instead of relying on a single cache-size provided by the platform and
sticking to it, the code now auto-detects the 'effective migration
cost' between two measured CPUs, via iterating through a wide range of
cachesizes. The code searches for the maximum migration cost, which
occurs when the working set of the test-workload falls just below the
'effective cache size'. I.e. real-life optimized search is done for
the maximum migration cost, between two real CPUs.
This, amongst other things, has the positive effect hat if e.g. two
CPUs share a L2/L3 cache, a different (and accurate) migration cost
will be found than between two CPUs on the same system that dont share
any caches.
(The reliable measurement of migration costs is tricky - see the source
for details.)
Furthermore i've added various boot-time options to override/tune
migration behavior.
Firstly, there's a blanket override for autodetection:
migration_cost=1000,2000,3000
will override the depth 0/1/2 values with 1msec/2msec/3msec values.
Secondly, there's a global factor that can be used to increase (or
decrease) the autodetected values:
migration_factor=120
will increase the autodetected values by 20%. This option is useful to
tune things in a workload-dependent way - e.g. if a workload is
cache-insensitive then CPU utilization can be maximized by specifying
migration_factor=0.
I've tested the autodetection code quite extensively on x86, on 3
P3/Xeon/2MB, and the autodetected values look pretty good:
Dual Celeron (128K L2 cache):
---------------------
migration cost matrix (max_cache_size: 131072, cpu: 467 MHz):
---------------------
[00] [01]
[00]: - 1.7(1)
[01]: 1.7(1) -
---------------------
cacheflush times [2]: 0.0 (0) 1.7 (1784008)
---------------------
Here the slow memory subsystem dominates system performance, and even
though caches are small, the migration cost is 1.7 msecs.
Dual HT P4 (512K L2 cache):
---------------------
migration cost matrix (max_cache_size: 524288, cpu: 2379 MHz):
---------------------
[00] [01] [02] [03]
[00]: - 0.4(1) 0.0(0) 0.4(1)
[01]: 0.4(1) - 0.4(1) 0.0(0)
[02]: 0.0(0) 0.4(1) - 0.4(1)
[03]: 0.4(1) 0.0(0) 0.4(1) -
---------------------
cacheflush times [2]: 0.0 (33900) 0.4 (448514)
---------------------
Here it can be seen that there is no migration cost between two HT
siblings (CPU#0/2 and CPU#1/3 are separate physical CPUs). A fast memory
system makes inter-physical-CPU migration pretty cheap: 0.4 msecs.
8-way P3/Xeon [2MB L2 cache]:

migration cost matrix (max_cache_size: 2097152, cpu: 700 MHz):

---------------------
cacheflush times [2]: 0.0 (0) 19.2 (19281756)
---------------------
This one has huge caches and a relatively slow memory subsystem - so the
migration cost is 19 msecs.

x86_cpu_to_apicid is built by parsing the ACPI MADT table, from acpi_boot_init.
We combine these two tables and setup cpu_to_node.
Early intialization helps the static per_cpu_areas in getting pages from

AK: I hacked Muli's original patch a lot and there were a lot
of changes - all bugs are probably to blame on me now.
There were also some changes in the fall back behaviour
for swiotlb - in particular it doesn't try to use GFP_DMA
now anymore. Also all DMA mapping operations use the
same core dma_alloc_coherent code with proper fallbacks now.
And various other changes and cleanups.
Known problems: iommu=force swiotlb=force together breaks
needs more testing.
This patch cleans up x86_64's DMA mapping dispatching code. Right now
we have three possible IOMMU types: AGP GART, swiotlb and nommu, and
in the future we will also have Xen's x86_64 swiotlb and other HW
IOMMUs for x86_64. In order to support all of them cleanly, this
patch:
- introduces a struct dma_mapping_ops with function pointers for each
of the DMA mapping operations of gart (AMD HW IOMMU), swiotlb
(software IOMMU) and nommu (no IOMMU).
- gets rid of:
if (swiotlb)
return swiotlb_xxx();
- PCI_DMA_BUS_IS_PHYS is now checked against the dma_ops being set
This makes swiotlb faster by avoiding double copying in some cases.

This adds a new notifier chain that is called with IDLE_START
when a CPU goes idle and IDLE_END when it goes out of idle.
The context can be idle thread or interrupt context.
Since we cannot rely on MONITOR/MWAIT existing the idle
end check currently has to be done in all interrupt
handlers.
They were originally inspired by the similar s390 implementation.
They have a variety of applications:
- They will be needed for CONFIG_NO_IDLE_HZ
- They can be used for oprofile to fix up the missing time
in idle when performance counters don't tick.
- They can be used for better C state management in ACPI
- They could be used for microstate accounting.

- Saving the cpu registers of all cpus before booting in to the crash
kernel.
- crash_setup_regs will save the registers of the cpu on which panic has
occured. One of the concerns ppc64 folks raised is that after capturing the
register states, one should not pop the current call frame and push new one.
Hence it has been inlined. More call frames later get pushed on to stack
(machine_crash_shutdown() and machine_kexec()), but one will not want to
backtrace those.
- Not very sure about the CFI annotations. With this patch I am getting
decent backtrace with gdb. Assuming, compiler has generated enough
debugging information for crash_kexec(). Coding crash_setup_regs() in pure
assembly makes it tricky because then it can not be inlined and we don't
want to return back after capturing register states we don't want to pop
this call frame.
- Saving the non-panicing cpus registers will be done in the NMI handler
while shooting down them in machine_crash_shutdown.

- In case of system crash, current state of cpu registers is saved in memory
in elf note format. So far memory for storing elf notes was being allocated
statically for NR_CPUS.
- This patch introduces dynamic allocation of memory for storing elf notes.
It uses alloc_percpu() interface. This should lead to better memory usage.
- Introduced based on Andi Kleen's and Eric W. Biederman's suggestions.
- This patch also moves memory allocation for elf notes from architecture
dependent portion to architecture independent portion. Now crash_notes is
architecture independent. The whole idea is that size of memory to be
allocated per cpu (MAX_NOTE_BYTES) can be architecture dependent and
allocation of this memory can be architecture independent.

sys_migrate_pages implementation using swap based page migration
This is the original API proposed by Ray Bryant in his posts during the first
half of 2005 on linux-mm@kvack.org and linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org.
The intent of sys_migrate is to migrate memory of a process. A process may
have migrated to another node. Memory was allocated optimally for the prior
context. sys_migrate_pages allows to shift the memory to the new node.
sys_migrate_pages is also useful if the processes available memory nodes have
changed through cpuset operations to manually move the processes memory. Paul
Jackson is working on an automated mechanism that will allow an automatic
migration if the cpuset of a process is changed. However, a user may decide
to manually control the migration.
This implementation is put into the policy layer since it uses concepts and
functions that are also needed for mbind and friends. The patch also provides
a do_migrate_pages function that may be useful for cpusets to automatically
move memory. sys_migrate_pages does not modify policies in contrast to Ray's
implementation.
The current code here is based on the swap based page migration capability and
thus is not able to preserve the physical layout relative to it containing
nodeset (which may be a cpuset). When direct page migration becomes available
then the implementation needs to be changed to do a isomorphic move of pages
between different nodesets. The current implementation simply evicts all
pages in source nodeset that are not in the target nodeset.
Patch supports ia64, i386 and x86_64.

Bug fix required for the .rodata work on x86-64:
when change_page_attr() and friends need to break up a 2Mb page into 4Kb
pages, it always set the NX bit on the PMD, which causes the cpu to consider
the entire 2Mb region to be NX regardless of the actual PTE perms. This is
fine in general, with one big exception: the 2Mb page that covers the last
part of the kernel .text! The fix is to not invent a new permission for the
new PMD entry, but to just inherit the existing one minus the PSE bit.

Here is the patch to implement madvise(MADV_REMOVE) - which frees up a
given range of pages & its associated backing store. Current
implementation supports only shmfs/tmpfs and other filesystems return
-ENOSYS.
"Some app allocates large tmpfs files, then when some task quits and some
client disconnect, some memory can be released. However the only way to
release tmpfs-swap is to MADV_REMOVE". - Andrea Arcangeli
Databases want to use this feature to drop a section of their bufferpool
(shared memory segments) - without writing back to disk/swap space.
This feature is also useful for supporting hot-plug memory on UML.
Concerns raised by Andrew Morton:
- "We have no plan for holepunching! If we _do_ have such a plan (or
might in the future) then what would the API look like? I think
sys_holepunch(fd, start, len), so we should start out with that."
- Using madvise is very weird, because people will ask "why do I need to
mmap my file before I can stick a hole in it?"
- None of the other madvise operations call into the filesystem in this
manner. A broad question is: is this capability an MM operation or a
filesytem operation? truncate, for example, is a filesystem operation
which sometimes has MM side-effects. madvise is an mm operation and with
this patch, it gains FS side-effects, only they're really, really
significant ones."
Comments:
- Andrea suggested the fs operation too but then it's more efficient to
have it as a mm operation with fs side effects, because they don't
immediatly know fd and physical offset of the range. It's possible to
fixup in userland and to use the fs operation but it's more expensive,
the vmas are already in the kernel and we can use them.
Short term plan & Future Direction:
- We seem to need this interface only for shmfs/tmpfs files in the short
term. We have to add hooks into the filesystem for correctness and
completeness. This is what this patch does.
- In the future, plan is to support both fs and mmap apis also. This
also involves (other) filesystem specific functions to be implemented.
- Current patch doesn't support VM_NONLINEAR - which can be addressed in
the future.

Completed a major overhaul of the Resource Manager code -
specifically, optimizations in the area of the AML/internal
resource conversion code. The code has been optimized to
simplify and eliminate duplicated code, CPU stack use has
been decreased by optimizing function parameters and local
variables, and naming conventions across the manager have
been standardized for clarity and ease of maintenance (this
includes function, parameter, variable, and struct/typedef
names.)
All Resource Manager dispatch and information tables have
been moved to a single location for clarity and ease of
maintenance. One new file was created, named "rsinfo.c".
The ACPI return macros (return_ACPI_STATUS, etc.) have
been modified to guarantee that the argument is
not evaluated twice, making them less prone to macro
side-effects. However, since there exists the possibility
of additional stack use if a particular compiler cannot
optimize them (such as in the debug generation case),
the original macros are optionally available. Note that
some invocations of the return_VALUE macro may now cause
size mismatch warnings; the return_UINT8 and return_UINT32
macros are provided to eliminate these. (From Randy Dunlap)
Implemented a new mechanism to enable debug tracing for
individual control methods. A new external interface,
acpi_debug_trace(), is provided to enable this mechanism. The
intent is to allow the host OS to easily enable and disable
tracing for problematic control methods. This interface
can be easily exposed to a user or debugger interface if
desired. See the file psxface.c for details.
acpi_ut_callocate() will now return a valid pointer if a
length of zero is specified - a length of one is used
and a warning is issued. This matches the behavior of
acpi_ut_allocate().

Keeping this function does not makes sense because it's a copied (and
buggy) copy of sys_time. The only difference is that now.tv_sec (which is
a time_t, i.e. a 64-bit long) is copied (and truncated) into a int
(32-bit).
The prototype is the same (they both take a long __user *), so let's drop
this and redirect it to sys_time (and make sure it exists by defining
__ARCH_WANT_SYS_TIME).
Only disadvantage is that the sys_stime definition is also compiled (may be
fixed if needed by adding a separate __ARCH_WANT_SYS_STIME macro, and
defining it for all arch's defining __ARCH_WANT_SYS_TIME except x86_64).

With a NR_CPUS==128 kernel with CPU hotplug enabled we would waste 4MB
on per CPU data of all possible CPUs. The reason was that HOTPLUG
always set up possible map to NR_CPUS cpus and then we need to allocate
that much (each per CPU data is roughly ~32k now)
The underlying problem is that ACPI didn't tell us how many hotplug CPUs
the platform supports. So the old code just assumed all, which would
lead to this memory wastage.
This implements some new heuristics:
- If the BIOS specified disabled CPUs in the ACPI/mptables assume they
can be enabled later (this is bending the ACPI specification a bit,
but seems like a obvious extension)
- The user can overwrite it with a new additionals_cpus=NUM option
- Otherwise use half of the available CPUs or 2, whatever is more.

Here's a patch that builds on Natalie Protasevich's IRQ compression
patch and tries to work for MPS boots as well as ACPI. It is meant for
a 4-node IBM x460 NUMA box, which was dying because it had interrupt
pins with GSI numbers > NR_IRQS and thus overflowed irq_desc.
The problem is that this system has 270 GSIs (which are 1:1 mapped with
I/O APIC RTEs) and an 8-node box would have 540. This is much bigger
than NR_IRQS (224 for both i386 and x86_64). Also, there aren't enough
vectors to go around. There are about 190 usable vectors, not counting
the reserved ones and the unused vectors at 0x20 to 0x2F. So, my patch
attempts to compress the GSI range and share vectors by sharing IRQs.

Add a new 4GB GFP_DMA32 zone between the GFP_DMA and GFP_NORMAL zones.
As a bit of historical background: when the x86-64 port
was originally designed we had some discussion if we should
use a 16MB DMA zone like i386 or a 4GB DMA zone like IA64 or
both. Both was ruled out at this point because it was in early
2.4 when VM is still quite shakey and had bad troubles even
dealing with one DMA zone. We settled on the 16MB DMA zone mainly
because we worried about older soundcards and the floppy.
But this has always caused problems since then because
device drivers had trouble getting enough DMA able memory. These days
the VM works much better and the wide use of NUMA has proven
it can deal with many zones successfully.
So this patch adds both zones.
This helps drivers who need a lot of memory below 4GB because
their hardware is not accessing more (graphic drivers - proprietary
and free ones, video frame buffer drivers, sound drivers etc.).
Previously they could only use IOMMU+16MB GFP_DMA, which
was not enough memory.
Another common problem is that hardware who has full memory
addressing for >4GB misses it for some control structures in memory
(like transmit rings or other metadata). They tended to allocate memory
in the 16MB GFP_DMA or the IOMMU/swiotlb then using pci_alloc_consistent,
but that can tie up a lot of precious 16MB GFPDMA/IOMMU/swiotlb memory
(even on AMD systems the IOMMU tends to be quite small) especially if you have
many devices. With the new zone pci_alloc_consistent can just put
this stuff into memory below 4GB which works better.
One argument was still if the zone should be 4GB or 2GB. The main
motivation for 2GB would be an unnamed not so unpopular hardware
raid controller (mostly found in older machines from a particular four letter
company) who has a strange 2GB restriction in firmware. But
that one works ok with swiotlb/IOMMU anyways, so it doesn't really
need GFP_DMA32. I chose 4GB to be compatible with IA64 and because
it seems to be the most common restriction.
The new zone is so far added only for x86-64.
For other architectures who don't set up this
new zone nothing changes. Architectures can set a compatibility
define in Kconfig CONFIG_DMA_IS_DMA32 that will define GFP_DMA32
as GFP_DMA. Otherwise it's a nop because on 32bit architectures
it's normally not needed because GFP_NORMAL (=0) is DMA able
enough.
One problem is still that GFP_DMA means different things on different
architectures. e.g. some drivers used to have #ifdef ia64 use GFP_DMA
(trusting it to be 4GB) #elif __x86_64__ (use other hacks like
the swiotlb because 16MB is not enough) ... . This was quite
ugly and is now obsolete.
These should be now converted to use GFP_DMA32 unconditionally. I haven't done
this yet. Or best only use pci_alloc_consistent/dma_alloc_coherent
which will use GFP_DMA32 transparently.

same lines of the *_is_locked spinlock functions. The swap token tuning patch
uses sem_is_read_locked; sem_is_write_locked is added for completeness.

CPU hotplug fills up the possible map to NR_CPUs, but it did that after
setting up per CPU data. This lead to CPU data not getting allocated
for all possible CPUs, which lead to various side effects.

I checked with AMD and they requested to only disable it for family 15.
Also disable it for i386 too. And some style fixes.

While only cosmetic for x86-64, this adjusts the cmpxchg code appearantly
inherited from i386 to use more generic constraints.
