The hot-Pluggable field in SRAT specifies which memory is hotpluggable.
As we mentioned before, if hotpluggable memory is used by the kernel, it
cannot be hot-removed. So memory hotplug users may want to set all
hotpluggable memory in ZONE_MOVABLE so that the kernel won't use it.
Memory hotplug users may also set a node as movable node, which has
ZONE_MOVABLE only, so that the whole node can be hot-removed.
But the kernel cannot use memory in ZONE_MOVABLE. By doing this, the
kernel cannot use memory in movable nodes. This will cause NUMA
performance down. And other users may be unhappy.
So we need a way to allow users to enable and disable this functionality.
In this patch, we introduce movable_node boot option to allow users to
choose to not to consume hotpluggable memory at early boot time and later
we can set it as ZONE_MOVABLE.
To achieve this, the movable_node boot option will control the memblock
allocation direction. That said, after memblock is ready, before SRAT is
parsed, we should allocate memory near the kernel image as we explained in
the previous patches. So if movable_node boot option is set, the kernel
does the following:
1. After memblock is ready, make memblock allocate memory bottom up.
2. After SRAT is parsed, make memblock behave as default, allocate memory
top down.
Users can specify "movable_node" in kernel commandline to enable this
functionality. For those who don't use memory hotplug or who don't want
to lose their NUMA performance, just don't specify anything. The kernel
will work as before.

Memory reserved for crashkernel could be large. So we should not allocate
this memory bottom up from the end of kernel image.
When SRAT is parsed, we will be able to know which memory is hotpluggable,
and we can avoid allocating this memory for the kernel. So reorder
reserve_crashkernel() after SRAT is parsed.

The Linux kernel cannot migrate pages used by the kernel. As a result,
kernel pages cannot be hot-removed. So we cannot allocate hotpluggable
memory for the kernel.
In a memory hotplug system, any numa node the kernel resides in should be
unhotpluggable. And for a modern server, each node could have at least
16GB memory. So memory around the kernel image is highly likely
unhotpluggable.
ACPI SRAT (System Resource Affinity Table) contains the memory hotplug
info. But before SRAT is parsed, memblock has already started to allocate
memory for the kernel. So we need to prevent memblock from doing this.
So direct memory mapping page tables setup is the case.
init_mem_mapping() is called before SRAT is parsed. To prevent page
tables being allocated within hotpluggable memory, we will use bottom-up
direction to allocate page tables from the end of kernel image to the
higher memory.
Note:
As for allocating page tables in lower memory, TJ said:
: This is an optional behavior which is triggered by a very specific kernel
: boot param, which I suspect is gonna need to stick around to support
: memory hotplug in the current setup unless we add another layer of address
: translation to support memory hotplug.
As for page tables may occupy too much lower memory if using 4K mapping
(CONFIG_DEBUG_PAGEALLOC and CONFIG_KMEMCHECK both disable using >4k
pages), TJ said:
: But as I said in the same paragraph, parsing SRAT earlier doesn't solve
: the problem in itself either. Ignoring the option if 4k mapping is
: required and memory consumption would be prohibitive should work, no?
: Something like that would be necessary if we're gonna worry about cases
: like this no matter how we implement it, but, frankly, I'm not sure this
: is something worth worrying about.

Create a new function memory_map_top_down to factor out of the top-down
direct memory mapping pagetable setup. This is also a preparation for the
following patch, which will introduce the bottom-up memory mapping. That
said, we will put the two ways of pagetable setup into separate functions,
and choose to use which way in init_mem_mapping, which makes the code more
clear.

This reverts commit 8eba18428ac926f436064ac281e76d36d51bd631.
uv_trace() is not used by anything, nor is uv_trace_nmi_func, nor
uv_trace_func.
That's not how we do instrumentation code in the kernel: we add
tracepoints, printk()s, etc. so that everyone not just those with
magic kernel modules can debug a system.
So remove this unused (and misguied) piece of code.

Currently xol_get_insn_slot() assumes that we should simply copy
arch_uprobe->insn[] which is (ignoring arch_uprobe_analyze_insn)
just the copy of the original insn.
This is not true for arm which needs to create another insn to
execute it out-of-line.
So this patch simply adds the new member, ->ixol into the union.
This doesn't make any difference for x86 and powerpc, but arm
can divorce insn/ixol and initialize the correct xol insn in
arch_uprobe_analyze_insn().

The arch_perf_output_copy_user() default of
__copy_from_user_inatomic() returns bytes not copied, while all other
argument functions given DEFINE_OUTPUT_COPY() return bytes copied.
Since copy_from_user_nmi() is the odd duck out by returning bytes
copied where all other *copy_{to,from}* functions return bytes not
copied, change it over and ammend DEFINE_OUTPUT_COPY() to expect bytes
not copied.
Oddly enough DEFINE_OUTPUT_COPY() already returned bytes not copied
while expecting its worker functions to return bytes copied.

The MAXSMP option is intended to enable silly large numbers of
CPUs for testing purposes. The current value of 4096 isn't very

The current range for SMP configs is 2 - 512 CPUs, or a full
4096 in the case of MAXSMP. There are machines that have 1024
CPUs in them today and configuring a kernel for that means you
are forced to set MAXSMP. This adds additional unnecessary
overhead. While that overhead might be considered tiny for
large machines, it isn't necessarily so if you are building a
kernel that runs across a wide variety of machines.
To cover the range of more common machines today, we allow
NR_CPUS to be up to 4096 when CPUMASK_OFFSTACK is enabled.

Currently show_cpuinfo_core() displays cpu core information only if
the number of threads per a whole cores is 2 or larger.
However, this condition doesn't care about the number of
sockets. For example, this condition doesn't hold on systems
with two logical cpus consisting of two sockets and a single
core on each socket - yet the topology information would be
interesting to see in that case as well.
I don't know whether or not there are processors in real world
by which such configurations are possible, but at least on
vitual machine environments, such configuration can occur,
typically when no explicit SMP information is provided in
advance.
For example, on qemu/KVM, SMP information is specified via -smp
command-line option, more specifically, its syntax is:
-smp n[,cores=cores][,threads=threads][,sockets=sockets][,maxcpus=maxcpus]
If this is not specified, qemu tells configuration with
n-sockets, 1-core and 1-thread to the guest machine, on which
guest, MP information is not displayed in /proc/cpuinfo.
I saw this situation on VMWare guest environment, too.
To fix this issue, this patch simply removes the condition
because this information is useful even if there's only 1
thread.

Merge three fixes from Andrew Morton.
* emailed patches from Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org>:
memcg: use __this_cpu_sub() to dec stats to avoid incorrect subtrahend casting
percpu: fix this_cpu_sub() subtrahend casting for unsigneds
mm/pagewalk.c: fix walk_page_range() access of wrong PTEs
|
|
this_cpu_sub() is implemented as negation and addition.
This patch casts the adjustment to the counter type before negation to
sign extend the adjustment. This helps in cases where the counter type
is wider than an unsigned adjustment. An alternative to this patch is
to declare such operations unsupported, but it seemed useful to avoid
surprises.
This patch specifically helps the following example:
unsigned int delta = 1
preempt_disable()
this_cpu_write(long_counter, 0)
this_cpu_sub(long_counter, delta)
preempt_enable()
Before this change long_counter on a 64 bit machine ends with value
0xffffffff, rather than 0xffffffffffffffff. This is because
this_cpu_sub(pcp, delta) boils down to this_cpu_add(pcp, -delta),
which is basically:
long_counter = 0 + 0xffffffff
Also apply the same cast to:
__this_cpu_sub()
__this_cpu_sub_return()
this_cpu_sub_return()
All percpu_test.ko passes, especially the following cases which
previously failed:
l -= ui_one;
__this_cpu_sub(long_counter, ui_one);
CHECK(l, long_counter, -1);
l -= ui_one;
this_cpu_sub(long_counter, ui_one);
CHECK(l, long_counter, -1);
CHECK(l, long_counter, 0xffffffffffffffff);
ul -= ui_one;
__this_cpu_sub(ulong_counter, ui_one);
CHECK(ul, ulong_counter, -1);
CHECK(ul, ulong_counter, 0xffffffffffffffff);
ul = this_cpu_sub_return(ulong_counter, ui_one);
CHECK(ul, ulong_counter, 2);
ul = __this_cpu_sub_return(ulong_counter, ui_one);
CHECK(ul, ulong_counter, 1);

Now that we can deal with nested NMI due to IRET re-enabling NMIs and
can deal with faults from NMI by making sure we preserve CR2 over NMIs
we can in fact simply access user-space memory from NMI context.
So rewrite copy_from_user_nmi() to use __copy_from_user_inatomic() and
rework the fault path to do the minimal required work before taking
the in_atomic() fault handler.
In particular avoid perf_sw_event() which would make perf recurse on
itself (it should be harmless as our recursion protections should be
able to deal with this -- but why tempt fate).
Also rename notify_page_fault() to kprobes_fault() as that is a much
better name; there is no notifier in it and its specific to kprobes.
Don measured that his worst case NMI path shrunk from ~300K cycles to
~150K cycles.

[ 0.004000] tsc: Marking TSC unstable due to check_tsc_sync_source failed
For some reason it consistently detects TSC skew, even though NHM+
should have a single clock domain for 'reasonable' systems.
This marks sched_clock_stable=0, which means that we do fancy stuff to
try and get a 'sane' clock. Part of this fancy stuff relies on the tick,
clearly that's gone when NOHZ=y. So for idle cpus time gets stuck, until
it either wakes up or gets kicked by another cpu.
While this is perfectly fine for the scheduler -- it only cares about
actually running stuff, and when we're running stuff we're obviously not
idle. This does somewhat break down for perf which can trigger events
just fine on an otherwise idle cpu.
So I've got NMIs get get 'measured' as taking ~1ms, which actually
don't last nearly that long:
<idle>-0 [013] d.h. 886.311970: rcu_nmi_enter <-do_nmi
...
<idle>-0 [013] d.h. 886.311997: perf_sample_event_took: HERE!!! : 1040990
So ftrace (which uses sched_clock(), not the fancy bits) only sees
~27us, but we measure ~1ms !!
Now since all this measurement stuff lives in x86 code, we can actually
fix it.
