The current ELF dumper implementation can produce broken corefiles if
program headers exceed 65535. This number is determined by the number of
vmas which the process have. In particular, some extreme programs may use
more than 65535 vmas. (If you google max_map_count, you can find some
users facing this problem.) This kind of program never be able to generate
correct coredumps.
This patch implements ``extended numbering'' that uses sh_info field of
the first section header instead of e_phnum field in order to represent
upto 4294967295 vmas.
This is supported by
AMD64-ABI(http://www.x86-64.org/documentation.html) and
Solaris(http://docs.sun.com/app/docs/doc/817-1984/).
Of course, we are preparing patches for gdb and binutils.

elf_core_dump() and elf_fdpic_core_dump() use #ifdef and the corresponding
macro for hiding _multiline_ logics in functions. This patch removes
#ifdef and replaces ELF_CORE_EXTRA_* by corresponding functions. For
architectures not implemeonting ELF_CORE_EXTRA_*, we use weak functions in
order to reduce a range of modification.
This cleanup is for my next patches, but I think this cleanup itself is
worth doing regardless of my firnal purpose.

tasklist_lock does protect the task and its pid, it can't go away. The
problem is that find_pid_ns() itself is unsafe without rcu lock, it can
race with copy_process()->free_pid(any_pid).
Protecting copy_process()->free_pid(any_pid) with tasklist_lock would make
it possible to call find_task_by_pid_ns() under tasklist safely, but we
don't do so because we are trying to get rid of the read_lock sites of
tasklist_lock.

I've had some complaints about panic_timeout being wildly innacurate on
shared processor PowerPC partitions (a 3 minute panic_timeout taking 30
minutes).
The problem is we loop on mdelay(1) and with a 1ms in 10ms hypervisor
timeslice each of these will take 10ms (ie 10x) longer. I expect other
platforms with shared processor hypervisors will see the same issue.
This patch keeps the old behaviour if we have a panic_blink (only keyboard
LEDs right now) and does 1 second mdelays if we don't.

There are quite a few GFP_KERNEL memory allocations made during
suspend/hibernation and resume that may cause the system to hang, because
the I/O operations they depend on cannot be completed due to the
underlying devices being suspended.
Avoid this problem by clearing the __GFP_IO and __GFP_FS bits in
gfp_allowed_mask before suspend/hibernation and restoring the original
values of these bits in gfp_allowed_mask durig the subsequent resume.

The old anon_vma code can lead to scalability issues with heavily forking
workloads. Specifically, each anon_vma will be shared between the parent
process and all its child processes.
In a workload with 1000 child processes and a VMA with 1000 anonymous
pages per process that get COWed, this leads to a system with a million
anonymous pages in the same anon_vma, each of which is mapped in just one
of the 1000 processes. However, the current rmap code needs to walk them
all, leading to O(N) scanning complexity for each page.
This can result in systems where one CPU is walking the page tables of
1000 processes in page_referenced_one, while all other CPUs are stuck on
the anon_vma lock. This leads to catastrophic failure for a benchmark
like AIM7, where the total number of processes can reach in the tens of
thousands. Real workloads are still a factor 10 less process intensive
than AIM7, but they are catching up.
This patch changes the way anon_vmas and VMAs are linked, which allows us
to associate multiple anon_vmas with a VMA. At fork time, each child
process gets its own anon_vmas, in which its COWed pages will be
instantiated. The parents' anon_vma is also linked to the VMA, because
non-COWed pages could be present in any of the children.
This reduces rmap scanning complexity to O(1) for the pages of the 1000
child processes, with O(N) complexity for at most 1/N pages in the system.
This reduces the average scanning cost in heavily forking workloads from
O(N) to 2.
The only real complexity in this patch stems from the fact that linking a
VMA to anon_vmas now involves memory allocations. This means vma_adjust
can fail, if it needs to attach a VMA to anon_vma structures. This in
turn means error handling needs to be added to the calling functions.
A second source of complexity is that, because there can be multiple
anon_vmas, the anon_vma linking in vma_adjust can no longer be done under
"the" anon_vma lock. To prevent the rmap code from walking up an
incomplete VMA, this patch introduces the VM_LOCK_RMAP VMA flag. This bit
flag uses the same slot as the NOMMU VM_MAPPED_COPY, with an ifdef in mm.h
to make sure it is impossible to compile a kernel that needs both symbolic
values for the same bitflag.
Some test results:
Without the anon_vma changes, when AIM7 hits around 9.7k users (on a test
box with 16GB RAM and not quite enough IO), the system ends up running
>99% in system time, with every CPU on the same anon_vma lock in the
pageout code.
With these changes, AIM7 hits the cross-over point around 29.7k users.
This happens with ~99% IO wait time, there never seems to be any spike in
system time. The anon_vma lock contention appears to be resolved.

Considering the nature of per mm stats, it's the shared object among
threads and can be a cache-miss point in the page fault path.
This patch adds per-thread cache for mm_counter. RSS value will be
counted into a struct in task_struct and synchronized with mm's one at
events.
Now, in this patch, the event is the number of calls to handle_mm_fault.
Per-thread value is added to mm at each 64 calls.
rough estimation with small benchmark on parallel thread (2threads) shows
[before]
4.5 cache-miss/faults
[after]
4.0 cache-miss/faults
Anyway, the most contended object is mmap_sem if the number of threads grows.

This makes sure that we pick the synchronous signals caused by a
processor fault over any pending regular asynchronous signals sent to
use by [t]kill().
This is not strictly required semantics, but it makes it _much_ easier
for programs like Wine that expect to find the fault information in the
signal stack.
Without this, if a non-synchronous signal gets picked first, the delayed
asynchronous signal will have its signal context pointing to the new
signal invocation, rather than the instruction that caused the SIGSEGV
or SIGBUS in the first place.
This is not all that pretty, and we're discussing making the synchronous
signals more explicit rather than have these kinds of implicit
preferences of SIGSEGV and friends. See for example
http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=15395
for some of the discussion. But in the meantime this is a simple and
fairly straightforward work-around, and the whole
if (x & Y)
x &= Y;
thing can be compiled into (and gcc does do it) just three instructions:
movq %rdx, %rax
andl $Y, %eax
cmovne %rax, %rdx
so it is at least a simple solution to a subtle issue.

The ACPI data is not starting on a page boundary and neither does the
usable RAM area end on a page boundary. Very useful !
> ACPI: DSDT 00000000cffa3900 036CE (v01 IBM SERLEWIS 00001000 INTL 20060912)
ACPI is trying to map DSDT at cffa3900, which results in a check
vs. cffa3000 which is the relevant page boundary. The generic is_ram
check correctly identifies that as RAM because it's in the usable
resource area. The old e820 based is_ram check does not take
overlapping resource areas into account. That's why it works.
