To avoid include hell, the per_cpu variable printk_func was declared
in percpu.h. But it is only defined if printk is defined.
As users of printk may also use the printk_func variable, it needs to
be defined even if CONFIG_PRINTK is not.
Also add a printk.h include in percpu.h just to be safe.

Being able to divert printk to call another function besides the normal
logging is useful for such things like NMI handling. If some functions
are to be called from NMI that does printk() it is possible to lock up
the box if the nmi handler triggers when another printk is happening.
One example of this use is to perform a stack trace on all CPUs via NMI.
But if the NMI is to do the printk() it can cause the system to lock up.
By allowing the printk to be diverted to another function that can safely
record the printk output and then print it when it in a safe context
then NMIs will be safe to call these functions like show_regs().

The percpu allocator now supports atomic allocations by only
allocating from already populated areas but the mechanism to ensure
that there's adequate amount of populated areas was missing.
This patch expands pcpu_balance_work so that in addition to freeing
excess free chunks it also populates chunks to maintain an adequate
level of populated areas. pcpu_alloc() schedules pcpu_balance_work if
the amount of free populated areas is too low or after an atomic
allocation failure.
* PERPCU_DYNAMIC_RESERVE is increased by two pages to account for
PCPU_EMPTY_POP_PAGES_LOW.
* pcpu_async_enabled is added to gate both async jobs -
chunk->map_extend_work and pcpu_balance_work - so that we don't end
up scheduling them while the needed subsystems aren't up yet.

Now that pcpu_alloc_area() can allocate only from populated areas,
it's easy to add atomic allocation support to [__]alloc_percpu().
Update pcpu_alloc() so that it accepts @gfp and skips all the blocking
operations and allocates only from the populated areas if @gfp doesn't
contain GFP_KERNEL. New interface functions [__]alloc_percpu_gfp()
are added.
While this means that atomic allocations are possible, this isn't
complete yet as there's no mechanism to ensure that certain amount of
populated areas is kept available and atomic allocations may keep
failing under certain conditions.

We're in the process of moving all percpu accessors and operations to
include/linux/percpu-defs.h so that they're available to arch headers
without having to include full include/linux/percpu.h which may cause
cyclic inclusion dependency.
This patch moves {raw|this}_cpu_*() definitions from
include/linux/percpu.h to include/linux/percpu-defs.h. The code is
moved mostly verbatim; however, raw_cpu_*() are placed above
this_cpu_*() which is more conventional as the raw operations may be
used to defined other variants.
This is pure reorganization.

{raw|this}_cpu_*_N() operations are expected to be provided by archs
and the generic definitions are provided as fallbacks. As such, these
firmly belong to include/asm-generic/percpu.h.

Currently, percpu allows two separate methods for overriding
{raw|this}_cpu_*() ops - for a given operation, an arch can provide
whole replacement or sized sub operations to override specific parts
of it. e.g. arch either can provide this_cpu_add() or
this_cpu_add_4() to override only the 4 byte operation.
While quite flexible on a glance, the dual-overriding scheme
complicates the code path for no actual gain. It compilcates the
already complex operation definitions and if an arch wants to override
all sizes, it can easily provide all variants anyway. In fact, no
arch is actually making use of whole operation override.
Another oddity is that __this_cpu_*() operations are defined in the
same way as raw_cpu_*() but ignores full overrides of the raw_cpu_*()
and doesn't allow full operation override, so if an arch provides
whole overrides for raw_cpu_*() operations __this_cpu_*() ends up
using the generic implementations.
More importantly, it takes away the layering between arch-specific and
generic parts making it impossible for the generic part to implement
arch-independent features on top of arch-specific overrides.
This patch removes the support for whole operation overrides. As no
arch is using it, this doesn't cause any actual difference.

include/linux/percpu-defs.h is gonna host all accessors and operations
so that arch headers can make use of them too without worrying about
circular dependency through include/linux/percpu.h.
This patch moves the following accessors from include/linux/percpu.h
to include/linux/percpu-defs.h.
* get/put_cpu_var()
* get/put_cpu_ptr()
* per_cpu_ptr()
This is pure reorgniazation.

The kernel has never been audited to ensure that this_cpu operations are
consistently used throughout the kernel. The code generated in many
places can be improved through the use of this_cpu operations (which
uses a segment register for relocation of per cpu offsets instead of
performing address calculations).
The patch set also addresses various consistency issues in general with
the per cpu macros.
A. The semantics of __this_cpu_ptr() differs from this_cpu_ptr only
because checks are skipped. This is typically shown through a raw_
prefix. So this patch set changes the places where __this_cpu_ptr()
is used to raw_cpu_ptr().
B. There has been the long term wish by some that __this_cpu operations
would check for preemption. However, there are cases where preemption
checks need to be skipped. This patch set adds raw_cpu operations that
do not check for preemption and then adds preemption checks to the
__this_cpu operations.
C. The use of __get_cpu_var is always a reference to a percpu variable
that can also be handled via a this_cpu operation. This patch set
replaces all uses of __get_cpu_var with this_cpu operations.
D. We can then use this_cpu RMW operations in various places replacing
sequences of instructions by a single one.
E. The use of this_cpu operations throughout will allow other arches than
x86 to implement optimized references and RMV operations to work with
per cpu local data.
F. The use of this_cpu operations opens up the possibility to
further optimize code that relies on synchronization through
per cpu data.
The patch set works in a couple of stages:
I. Patch 1 adds the additional raw_cpu operations and raw_cpu_ptr().
Also converts the existing __this_cpu_xx_# primitive in the x86
code to raw_cpu_xx_#.
II. Patch 2-4 use the raw_cpu operations in places that would give
us false positives once they are enabled.
III. Patch 5 adds preemption checks to __this_cpu operations to allow
checking if preemption is properly disabled when these functions
are used.
IV. Patches 6-20 are patches that simply replace uses of __get_cpu_var
with this_cpu_ptr. They do not depend on any changes to the percpu
code. No preemption tests are skipped if they are applied.
V. Patches 21-46 are conversion patches that use this_cpu operations
in various kernel subsystems/drivers or arch code.
VI. Patches 47/48 (not included in this series) remove no longer used
functions (__this_cpu_ptr and __get_cpu_var). These should only be
applied after all the conversion patches have made it and after we
have done additional passes through the kernel to ensure that none of
the uses of these functions remain.
This patch (of 46):
The patches following this one will add preemption checks to __this_cpu
ops so we need to have an alternative way to use this_cpu operations
without preemption checks.
raw_cpu_ops will be the basis for all other ops since these will be the
operations that do not implement any checks.
Primitive operations are renamed by this patch from __this_cpu_xxx to
raw_cpu_xxxx.
Also change the uses of the x86 percpu primitives in preempt.h.
These depend directly on asm/percpu.h (header #include nesting issue).

Most of the VM_BUG_ON assertions are performed on a page. Usually, when
one of these assertions fails we'll get a BUG_ON with a call stack and
the registers.
I've recently noticed based on the requests to add a small piece of code
that dumps the page to various VM_BUG_ON sites that the page dump is
quite useful to people debugging issues in mm.
This patch adds a VM_BUG_ON_PAGE(cond, page) which beyond doing what
VM_BUG_ON() does, also dumps the page before executing the actual
BUG_ON.

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);

There is not a single user in the whole kernel.
Besides that this_cpu_xor() is broken anyway since it gets
translated to this_cpu_or() (see __pcpu_size_call() line).

It doesn't make sense to trace irq off or do irq flags
lock proving inside 'this_cpu' operations, so replace local_irq_*
with raw_local_irq_* in 'this_cpu' op.
Also the patch fixes onelockdep warning[1] by the replacement, see
below:
In commit: 933393f58fef9963eac61db8093689544e29a600(percpu:
Remove irqsafe_cpu_xxx variants), local_irq_save/restore(flags) are
added inside this_cpu_inc operation, so that trace_hardirqs_off_caller
will be called by trace_hardirqs_on_caller directly because
__debug_atomic_inc is implemented as this_cpu_inc, which may trigger
the lockdep warning[1], for example in the below ARM scenary:
kernel_thread_helper /*irq disabled*/
->trace_hardirqs_on_caller /*hardirqs_enabled was set*/
->trace_hardirqs_off_caller /*hardirqs_enabled cleared*/
__this_cpu_add(redundant_hardirqs_on)
->trace_hardirqs_off_caller /*irq disabled, so call here*/
The 'unannotated irqs-on' warning will be triggered somewhere because
irq is just enabled after the irq trace in kernel_thread_helper.

We simply say that regular this_cpu use must be safe regardless of
preemption and interrupt state. That has no material change for x86
and s390 implementations of this_cpu operations. However, arches that
do not provide their own implementation for this_cpu operations will
now get code generated that disables interrupts instead of preemption.

On an architecture without CMPXCHG_LOCAL but with DEBUG_VM enabled,
the VM_BUG_ON() in __pcpu_double_call_return_bool() will cause an early
panic during boot unless we always align cpu_slab properly.
In principle we could remove the alignment-testing VM_BUG_ON() for
architectures that don't have CMPXCHG_LOCAL, but leaving it in means
that new code will tend not to break x86 even if it is introduced
on another platform, and it's low cost to require alignment.

The SLUB allocator use of the cmpxchg_double logic was wrong: it
actually needs the irq-safe one.
That happens automatically when we use the native unlocked 'cmpxchg8b'
instruction, but when compiling the kernel for older x86 CPUs that do
not support that instruction, we fall back to the generic emulation
code.
And if you don't specify that you want the irq-safe version, the generic
code ends up just open-coding the cmpxchg8b equivalent without any
protection against interrupts or preemption. Which definitely doesn't
work for SLUB.
This was reported by Werner Landgraf <w.landgraf@ru.ru>, who saw
instability with his distro-kernel that was compiled to support pretty
much everything under the sun. Most big Linux distributions tend to
compile for PPro and later, and would never have noticed this problem.
This also fixes the prototypes for the irqsafe cmpxchg_double functions
to use 'bool' like they should.
[ Btw, that whole "generic code defaults to no protection" design just
sounds stupid - if the code needs no protection, there is no reason to
use "cmpxchg_double" to begin with. So we should probably just remove
the unprotected version entirely as pointless. - Linus ]

Introduce this_cpu_cmpxchg_double(). this_cpu_cmpxchg_double() allows
the comparison between two consecutive words and replaces them if
there is a match.
bool this_cpu_cmpxchg_double(pcp1, pcp2,
old_word1, old_word2, new_word1, new_word2)
this_cpu_cmpxchg_double does not return the old value (difficult since
there are two words) but a boolean indicating if the operation was
successful.
The first percpu variable must be double word aligned!

Generic code to provide new per cpu atomic features
this_cpu_cmpxchg
this_cpu_xchg
Fallback occurs to functions using interrupts disable/enable
to ensure correct per cpu atomicity.
Fallback to regular cmpxchg and xchg is not possible since per cpu atomic
semantics include the guarantee that the current cpus per cpu data is
accessed atomically. Use of regular cmpxchg and xchg requires the
determination of the address of the per cpu data before regular cmpxchg
or xchg which therefore cannot be atomically included in an xchg or
cmpxchg without segment override.

On UP, percpu allocations were redirected to kmalloc. This has the
following problems.
* For certain amount of allocations (determined by
PERCPU_DYNAMIC_EARLY_SLOTS and PERCPU_DYNAMIC_EARLY_SIZE), percpu
allocator can be used before the usual kernel memory allocator is
brought online. On SMP, this is used to initialize the kernel
memory allocator.
* percpu allocator honors alignment upto PAGE_SIZE but kmalloc()
doesn't. For example, workqueue makes use of larger alignments for
cpu_workqueues.
Currently, users of percpu allocators need to handle UP differently,
which is somewhat fragile and ugly. Other than small amount of
memory, there isn't much to lose by enabling percpu allocator on UP.
It can simply use kernel memory based chunk allocation which was added
for SMP archs w/o MMUs.
This patch removes mm/percpu_up.c, builds mm/percpu.c on UP too and
makes UP build use percpu-km. As percpu addresses and kernel
addresses are always identity mapped and static percpu variables don't
need any special treatment, nothing is arch dependent and mm/percpu.c
implements generic setup_per_cpu_areas() for UP.

In preparation of enabling percpu allocator for UP, reduce
PCPU_MIN_UNIT_SIZE to 32k. On UP, the first chunk doesn't have to
include static percpu variables and chunk size can be smaller which is
important as UP percpu allocator will use contiguous kernel memory to
populate chunks.
PCPU_MIN_UNIT_SIZE also determines the maximum supported allocation
size but 32k should still be enough.

This patch updates percpu allocator such that it can serve limited
amount of allocation before slab comes online. This is primarily to
allow slab to depend on working percpu allocator.
Two parameters, PERCPU_DYNAMIC_EARLY_SIZE and SLOTS, determine how
much memory space and allocation map slots are reserved. If this
reserved area is exhausted, WARN_ON_ONCE() will trigger and allocation
will fail till slab comes online.
The following changes are made to implement early alloc.
* pcpu_mem_alloc() now checks slab_is_available()
* Chunks are allocated using pcpu_mem_alloc()
* Init paths make sure ai->dyn_size is at least as large as
PERCPU_DYNAMIC_EARLY_SIZE.
* Initial alloc maps are allocated in __initdata and copied to
kmalloc'd areas once slab is online.

percpu.h has always been including slab.h to get k[mz]alloc/free() for
UP inline implementation. percpu.h being used by very low level
headers including module.h and sched.h, this meant that a lot files
unintentionally got slab.h inclusion.
Lee Schermerhorn was trying to make topology.h use percpu.h and got
bitten by this implicit inclusion. The right thing to do is break
this ultimately unnecessary dependency. The previous patch added
explicit inclusion of either gfp.h or slab.h to the source files using
them. This patch updates percpu.h such that slab.h is no longer
included from percpu.h.

o kdump functionality reserves a per cpu area at boot time and exports the

area stores some dump related information like cpu register states etc
at the time of crash.
o We were assuming that per cpu area always come from linearly mapped meory

This patch introduces two things: First this_cpu_ptr and then per cpu
atomic operations.
this_cpu_ptr
------------
A common operation when dealing with cpu data is to get the instance of the
cpu data associated with the currently executing processor. This can be
optimized by
this_cpu_ptr(xx) = per_cpu_ptr(xx, smp_processor_id).
The problem with per_cpu_ptr(x, smp_processor_id) is that it requires
an array lookup to find the offset for the cpu. Processors typically
have the offset for the current cpu area in some kind of (arch dependent)
efficiently accessible register or memory location.
We can use that instead of doing the array lookup to speed up the
determination of the address of the percpu variable. This is particularly
significant because these lookups occur in performance critical paths
of the core kernel. this_cpu_ptr() can avoid memory accesses and
this_cpu_ptr comes in two flavors. The preemption context matters since we
are referring the the currently executing processor. In many cases we must
insure that the processor does not change while a code segment is executed.
__this_cpu_ptr -> Do not check for preemption context
this_cpu_ptr -> Check preemption context
The parameter to these operations is a per cpu pointer. This can be the
address of a statically defined per cpu variable (&per_cpu_var(xxx)) or
the address of a per cpu variable allocated with the per cpu allocator.
per cpu atomic operations: this_cpu_*(var, val)
-----------------------------------------------
this_cpu_* operations (like this_cpu_add(struct->y, value) operate on
abitrary scalars that are members of structures allocated with the new
per cpu allocator. They can also operate on static per_cpu variables
if they are passed to per_cpu_var() (See patch to use this_cpu_*
operations for vm statistics).
These operations are guaranteed to be atomic vs preemption when modifying
the scalar. The calculation of the per cpu offset is also guaranteed to
be atomic at the same time. This means that a this_cpu_* operation can be
safely used to modify a per cpu variable in a context where interrupts are
enabled and preemption is allowed. Many architectures can perform such
a per cpu atomic operation with a single instruction.
Note that the atomicity here is different from regular atomic operations.
Atomicity is only guaranteed for data accessed from the currently executing
processor. Modifications from other processors are still possible. There
must be other guarantees that the per cpu data is not modified from another
processor when using these instruction. The per cpu atomicity is created
by the fact that the processor either executes and instruction or not.
Embedded in the instruction is the relocation of the per cpu address to
the are reserved for the current processor and the RMW action. Therefore
interrupts or preemption cannot occur in the mids of this processing.
Generic fallback functions are used if an arch does not define optimized
this_cpu operations. The functions come also come in the two flavors used
for this_cpu_ptr().
The firstparameter is a scalar that is a member of a structure allocated
through allocpercpu or a per cpu variable (use per_cpu_var(xxx)). The
operations are similar to what percpu_add() and friends do.
this_cpu_read(scalar)
this_cpu_write(scalar, value)
this_cpu_add(scale, value)
this_cpu_sub(scalar, value)
this_cpu_inc(scalar)
this_cpu_dec(scalar)
this_cpu_and(scalar, value)
this_cpu_or(scalar, value)
this_cpu_xor(scalar, value)
Arch code can override the generic functions and provide optimized atomic
per cpu operations. These atomic operations must provide both the relocation
(x86 does it through a segment override) and the operation on the data in a
single instruction. Otherwise preempt needs to be disabled and there is no
gain from providing arch implementations.
A third variant is provided prefixed by irqsafe_. These variants are safe
against hardware interrupts on the *same* processor (all per cpu atomic
primitives are *always* *only* providing safety for code running on the
*same* processor!). The increment needs to be implemented by the hardware
in such a way that it is a single RMW instruction that is either processed
before or after an interrupt.
