Pull ARM updates from Russell King:
- Major clean-up of the L2 cache support code. The existing mess was
becoming rather unmaintainable through all the additions that others
have done over time. This turns it into a much nicer structure, and
implements a few performance improvements as well.
- Clean up some of the CP15 control register tweaks for alignment
support, moving some code and data into alignment.c
- DMA properties for ARM, from Santosh and reviewed by DT people. This
adds DT properties to specify bus translations we can't discover
automatically, and to indicate whether devices are coherent.
- Hibernation support for ARM
- Make ftrace work with read-only text in modules
- add suspend support for PJ4B CPUs
- rework interrupt masking for undefined instruction handling, which
allows us to enable interrupts earlier in the handling of these
exceptions.
- support for big endian page tables
- fix stacktrace support to exclude stacktrace functions from the
trace, and add save_stack_trace_regs() implementation so that kprobes
can record stack traces.
- Add support for the Cortex-A17 CPU.
- Remove last vestiges of ARM710 support.
- Removal of ARM "meminfo" structure, finally converting us solely to
memblock to handle the early memory initialisation.

CLONE_SIGHAND
1. Remove CLONE_KERNEL, it has no users and it is dangerous.
The (old) comment says "List of flags we want to share for kernel
threads" but this is not true, we do not want to share ->sighand by
default. This flag can only be used if the caller is sure that both
parent/child will never play with signals (say, allow_signal/etc).
2. Change rest_init() to clone kernel_init() without CLONE_SIGHAND.
In this case CLONE_SIGHAND does not really hurt, and it looks like
optimization because copy_sighand() can avoid kmem_cache_alloc().
But in fact this only adds the minor pessimization. kernel_init()
is going to exec the init process, and de_thread() will need to
unshare ->sighand and do kmem_cache_alloc(sighand_cachep) anyway,
but it needs to do more work and take tasklist_lock and siglock.

... instead of naked numbers.
Stuff in sysrq.c used to set it to 8 which is supposed to mean above
default level so set it to DEBUG instead as we're terminating/killing all
tasks and we want to be verbose there.
Also, correct the check in x86_64_start_kernel which should be >= as
we're clearly issuing the string there for all debug levels, not only
the magical 10.

The pr_debug() and related debug print macros all differ from the normal
pr_XXX() macros, in that the normal ones print unconditionally, while
the debug macros are compiled out unless DEBUG is defined or
CONFIG_DYNAMIC_DEBUG is set. This isn't obvious, and the only way to
find this out is either to review the actual printk.h code or to read
CodingStyle, and the message there doesn't highlight the fact.
Change Documentation/CodingStyle to clearly indicate that pr_debug() and
related debug printing macros behave differently than all other pr_XXX()
macros, and attempt to clarify when and where the different debug
printing methods might be used.
Add short comment to printk.h above the pr_XXX() macros indicating that
while these macros print unconditionally, pr_debug() does not.

Usually, BUG_ON and friends aren't even evaluated in sparse, but recently
compiletime_assert_atomic_type() was added, and that now results in a
sparse warning every time it is used.
The reason turns out to be the temporary variable, after it sparse no
longer considers the value to be a constant, and results in a warning and
an error. The error is the more annoying part of this as it suppresses
any further warnings in the same file, hiding other problems.
Unfortunately the condition cannot be simply expanded out to avoid the
temporary variable since it breaks compiletime_assert on old versions of
GCC such as GCC 4.2.4 which the latest metag compiler is based on.
Therefore #ifndef __CHECKER__ out the __compiletime_error_fallback which
uses the potentially negative size array to trigger a conditional compiler
error, so that sparse doesn't see it.

correct comments.
Currently, we use (zone->managed_pages + KSWAPD_ZONE_BALANCE_GAP_RATIO-1)
/ KSWAPD_ZONE_BALANCE_GAP_RATIO to avoid a zero gap value. It's better to
use DIV_ROUND_UP macro for neater code and clear meaning.
Besides, the gap value is calculated against the per-zone "managed pages",
not "present pages". This patch also corrects the comment and do some
rephrasing.

possible
aops->write_begin may allocate a new page and make it visible only to have
mark_page_accessed called almost immediately after. Once the page is
visible the atomic operations are necessary which is noticable overhead
when writing to an in-memory filesystem like tmpfs but should also be
noticable with fast storage. The objective of the patch is to initialse
the accessed information with non-atomic operations before the page is
visible.
The bulk of filesystems directly or indirectly use
grab_cache_page_write_begin or find_or_create_page for the initial
allocation of a page cache page. This patch adds an init_page_accessed()
helper which behaves like the first call to mark_page_accessed() but may
called before the page is visible and can be done non-atomically.
The primary APIs of concern in this care are the following and are used
by most filesystems.
find_get_page
find_lock_page
find_or_create_page
grab_cache_page_nowait
grab_cache_page_write_begin
All of them are very similar in detail to the patch creates a core helper
pagecache_get_page() which takes a flags parameter that affects its
behavior such as whether the page should be marked accessed or not. Then
old API is preserved but is basically a thin wrapper around this core
function.
Each of the filesystems are then updated to avoid calling
mark_page_accessed when it is known that the VM interfaces have already
done the job. There is a slight snag in that the timing of the
mark_page_accessed() has now changed so in rare cases it's possible a page
gets to the end of the LRU as PageReferenced where as previously it might
have been repromoted. This is expected to be rare but it's worth the
filesystem people thinking about it in case they see a problem with the
timing change. It is also the case that some filesystems may be marking
pages accessed that previously did not but it makes sense that filesystems
have consistent behaviour in this regard.
The test case used to evaulate this is a simple dd of a large file done
multiple times with the file deleted on each iterations. The size of the
file is 1/10th physical memory to avoid dirty page balancing. In the
async case it will be possible that the workload completes without even
hitting the disk and will have variable results but highlight the impact
of mark_page_accessed for async IO. The sync results are expected to be
more stable. The exception is tmpfs where the normal case is for the "IO"
to not hit the disk.
The test machine was single socket and UMA to avoid any scheduling or NUMA
artifacts. Throughput and wall times are presented for sync IO, only wall
times are shown for async as the granularity reported by dd and the
variability is unsuitable for comparison. As async results were variable
do to writback timings, I'm only reporting the maximum figures. The sync
results were stable enough to make the mean and stddev uninteresting.
The performance results are reported based on a run with no profiling.
Profile data is based on a separate run with oprofile running.

X86 prefers the use of unsigned types for iterators and there is a
tendency to mix whether a signed or unsigned type if used for page order.

The test_bit operations in get/set pageblock flags are expensive. This
patch reads the bitmap on a word basis and use shifts and masks to isolate
the bits of interest. Similarly masks are used to set a local copy of the
bitmap and then use cmpxchg to update the bitmap if there have been no
other changes made in parallel.
In a test running dd onto tmpfs the overhead of the pageblock-related
functions went from 1.27% in profiles to 0.5%.
In addition to the performance benefits, this patch closes races that are
possible between:
a) get_ and set_pageblock_migratetype(), where get_pageblock_migratetype()
reads part of the bits before and other part of the bits after
set_pageblock_migratetype() has updated them.
b) set_pageblock_migratetype() and set_pageblock_skip(), where the non-atomic
read-modify-update set bit operation in set_pageblock_skip() will cause
lost updates to some bits changed in the set_pageblock_migratetype().
Joonsoo Kim first reported the case a) via code inspection. Vlastimil
Babka's testing with a debug patch showed that either a) or b) occurs
roughly once per mmtests' stress-highalloc benchmark (although not
necessarily in the same pageblock). Furthermore during development of
unrelated compaction patches, it was observed that frequent calls to
{start,undo}_isolate_page_range() the race occurs several thousands of
times and has resulted in NULL pointer dereferences in move_freepages()
and free_one_page() in places where free_list[migratetype] is
manipulated by e.g. list_move(). Further debugging confirmed that
migratetype had invalid value of 6, causing out of bounds access to the
free_list array.
That confirmed that the race exist, although it may be extremely rare,
and currently only fatal where page isolation is performed due to
memory hot remove. Races on pageblocks being updated by
set_pageblock_migratetype(), where both old and new migratetype are
lower MIGRATE_RESERVE, currently cannot result in an invalid value
being observed, although theoretically they may still lead to
unexpected creation or destruction of MIGRATE_RESERVE pageblocks.
Furthermore, things could get suddenly worse when memory isolation is
used more, or when new migratetypes are added.
After this patch, the race has no longer been observed in testing.

Originally get_swap_page() started iterating through the singly-linked
list of swap_info_structs using swap_list.next or highest_priority_index,
which both were intended to point to the highest priority active swap
target that was not full. The first patch in this series changed the
singly-linked list to a doubly-linked list, and removed the logic to start
at the highest priority non-full entry; it starts scanning at the highest
priority entry each time, even if the entry is full.
Replace the manually ordered swap_list_head with a plist, swap_active_head.
Add a new plist, swap_avail_head. The original swap_active_head plist
contains all active swap_info_structs, as before, while the new
swap_avail_head plist contains only swap_info_structs that are active and
available, i.e. not full. Add a new spinlock, swap_avail_lock, to protect
the swap_avail_head list.
Mel Gorman suggested using plists since they internally handle ordering
the list entries based on priority, which is exactly what swap was doing
manually. All the ordering code is now removed, and swap_info_struct
entries and simply added to their corresponding plist and automatically
ordered correctly.
Using a new plist for available swap_info_structs simplifies and
optimizes get_swap_page(), which no longer has to iterate over full
swap_info_structs. Using a new spinlock for swap_avail_head plist
allows each swap_info_struct to add or remove themselves from the
plist when they become full or not-full; previously they could not
do so because the swap_info_struct->lock is held when they change
from full<->not-full, and the swap_lock protecting the main
swap_active_head must be ordered before any swap_info_struct->lock.

Add plist_requeue(), which moves the specified plist_node after all other
same-priority plist_nodes in the list. This is essentially an optimized
plist_del() followed by plist_add().
This is needed by swap, which (with the next patch in this set) uses a
plist of available swap devices. When a swap device (either a swap
partition or swap file) are added to the system with swapon(), the device
is added to a plist, ordered by the swap device's priority. When swap
needs to allocate a page from one of the swap devices, it takes the page
from the first swap device on the plist, which is the highest priority
swap device. The swap device is left in the plist until all its pages are
used, and then removed from the plist when it becomes full.
However, as described in man 2 swapon, swap must allocate pages from swap
devices with the same priority in round-robin order; to do this, on each
swap page allocation, swap uses a page from the first swap device in the
plist, and then calls plist_requeue() to move that swap device entry to
after any other same-priority swap devices. The next swap page allocation
will again use a page from the first swap device in the plist and requeue
it, and so on, resulting in round-robin usage of equal-priority swap
devices.
Also add plist_test_requeue() test function, for use by plist_test() to
test plist_requeue() function.

Add PLIST_HEAD() to plist.h, equivalent to LIST_HEAD() from list.h, to
define and initialize a struct plist_head.
Add plist_for_each_continue() and plist_for_each_entry_continue(),
equivalent to list_for_each_continue() and list_for_each_entry_continue(),
to iterate over a plist continuing after the current position.
Add plist_prev() and plist_next(), equivalent to (struct list_head*)->prev
and ->next, implemented by list_prev_entry() and list_next_entry(), to
access the prev/next struct plist_node entry. These are needed because
unlike struct list_head, direct access of the prev/next struct plist_node
isn't possible; the list must be navigated via the contained struct
list_head. e.g. instead of accessing the prev by list_prev_entry(node,
node_list) it can be accessed by plist_prev(node).

The logic controlling the singly-linked list of swap_info_struct entries
for all active, i.e. swapon'ed, swap targets is rather complex, because:
- it stores the entries in priority order
- there is a pointer to the highest priority entry
- there is a pointer to the highest priority not-full entry
- there is a highest_priority_index variable set outside the swap_lock
- swap entries of equal priority should be used equally
this complexity leads to bugs such as: https://lkml.org/lkml/2014/2/13/181
where different priority swap targets are incorrectly used equally.
That bug probably could be solved with the existing singly-linked lists,
but I think it would only add more complexity to the already difficult to
understand get_swap_page() swap_list iteration logic.
The first patch changes from a singly-linked list to a doubly-linked list
using list_heads; the highest_priority_index and related code are removed
and get_swap_page() starts each iteration at the highest priority
swap_info entry, even if it's full. While this does introduce unnecessary
list iteration (i.e. Schlemiel the painter's algorithm) in the case where
one or more of the highest priority entries are full, the iteration and
manipulation code is much simpler and behaves correctly re: the above bug;
and the fourth patch removes the unnecessary iteration.
The second patch adds some minor plist helper functions; nothing new
really, just functions to match existing regular list functions. These
are used by the next two patches.
The third patch adds plist_requeue(), which is used by get_swap_page() in
the next patch - it performs the requeueing of same-priority entries
(which moves the entry to the end of its priority in the plist), so that
all equal-priority swap_info_structs get used equally.
The fourth patch converts the main list into a plist, and adds a new plist
that contains only swap_info entries that are both active and not full.
As Mel suggested using plists allows removing all the ordering code from
swap - plists handle ordering automatically. The list naming is also
clarified now that there are two lists, with the original list changed
from swap_list_head to swap_active_head and the new list named
swap_avail_head. A new spinlock is also added for the new list, so
swap_info entries can be added or removed from the new list immediately as
they become full or not full.
This patch (of 4):
Replace the singly-linked list tracking active, i.e. swapon'ed,
swap_info_struct entries with a doubly-linked list using struct
list_heads. Simplify the logic iterating and manipulating the list of
entries, especially get_swap_page(), by using standard list_head
functions, and removing the highest priority iteration logic.
The change fixes the bug:
https://lkml.org/lkml/2014/2/13/181
in which different priority swap entries after the highest priority entry
are incorrectly used equally in pairs. The swap behavior is now as
advertised, i.e. different priority swap entries are used in order, and
equal priority swap targets are used concurrently.

During compaction, update_nr_listpages() has been used to count remaining
non-migrated and free pages after a call to migrage_pages(). The
freepages counting has become unneccessary, and it turns out that
migratepages counting is also unnecessary in most cases.
The only situation when it's needed to count cc->migratepages is when
migrate_pages() returns with a negative error code. Otherwise, the
non-negative return value is the number of pages that were not migrated,
which is exactly the count of remaining pages in the cc->migratepages
list.
Furthermore, any non-zero count is only interesting for the tracepoint of
mm_compaction_migratepages events, because after that all remaining
unmigrated pages are put back and their count is set to 0.
This patch therefore removes update_nr_listpages() completely, and changes
the tracepoint definition so that the manual counting is done only when
the tracepoint is enabled, and only when migrate_pages() returns a
negative error code.
Furthermore, migrate_pages() and the tracepoints won't be called when
there's nothing to migrate. This potentially avoids some wasted cycles
and reduces the volume of uninteresting mm_compaction_migratepages events
where "nr_migrated=0 nr_failed=0". In the stress-highalloc mmtest, this
was about 75% of the events. The mm_compaction_isolate_migratepages event
is better for determining that nothing was isolated for migration, and
this one was just duplicating the info.

We're going to want to manipulate the migration mode for compaction in the
page allocator, and currently compact_control's sync field is only a bool.
Currently, we only do MIGRATE_ASYNC or MIGRATE_SYNC_LIGHT compaction
depending on the value of this bool. Convert the bool to enum
migrate_mode and pass the migration mode in directly. Later, we'll want
to avoid MIGRATE_SYNC_LIGHT for thp allocations in the pagefault patch to
avoid unnecessary latency.
This also alters compaction triggered from sysfs, either for the entire
system or for a node, to force MIGRATE_SYNC.

Each zone has a cached migration scanner pfn for memory compaction so that
subsequent calls to memory compaction can start where the previous call
left off.
Currently, the compaction migration scanner only updates the per-zone
cached pfn when pageblocks were not skipped for async compaction. This
creates a dependency on calling sync compaction to avoid having subsequent
calls to async compaction from scanning an enormous amount of non-MOVABLE
pageblocks each time it is called. On large machines, this could be
potentially very expensive.
This patch adds a per-zone cached migration scanner pfn only for async
compaction. It is updated everytime a pageblock has been scanned in its
entirety and when no pages from it were successfully isolated. The cached
migration scanner pfn for sync compaction is updated only when called for
sync compaction.

Memory migration uses a callback defined by the caller to determine how to
allocate destination pages. When migration fails for a source page,
however, it frees the destination page back to the system.
This patch adds a memory migration callback defined by the caller to
determine how to free destination pages. If a caller, such as memory
compaction, builds its own freelist for migration targets, this can reuse
already freed memory instead of scanning additional memory.
If the caller provides a function to handle freeing of destination pages,
it is called when page migration fails. If the caller passes NULL then
freeing back to the system will be handled as usual. This patch
introduces no functional change.

I was looking at a trace of the slab shrinkers (attachment in this comment):
https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=72742#c67
and noticed that "total_scan" can go negative in some cases. We
used to dump out the "total_scan" variable directly, but some of
the shrinker modifications along the way changed that.
This patch just dumps it out directly, again. It doesn't make
any sense to derive it from new_nr and nr any more since there
are now other shrinkers that can be running in parallel and
mucking with those values.
Here's an example of the negative numbers in the output:

Currently, in put_compound_page(), we have
======
if (likely(!PageTail(page))) { <------ (1)
if (put_page_testzero(page)) {
/*
¦* By the time all refcounts have been released
¦* split_huge_page cannot run anymore from under us.
¦*/
if (PageHead(page))
__put_compound_page(page);
else
__put_single_page(page);
}
return;
}
/* __split_huge_page_refcount can run under us */
page_head = compound_head(page); <------------ (2)
======
if at (1) , we fail the check, this means page is *likely* a tail page.
Then at (2), as compoud_head(page) is inlined, it is :
======
static inline struct page *compound_head(struct page *page)
{
if (unlikely(PageTail(page))) { <----------- (3)
struct page *head = page->first_page;
smp_rmb();
if (likely(PageTail(page)))
return head;
}
return page;
}
======
here, the (3) unlikely in the case is a negative hint, because it is
*likely* a tail page. So the check (3) in this case is not good, so I
introduce a helper for this case.
So this patch introduces compound_head_by_tail() which deals with a
possible tail page(though it could be spilt by a racy thread), and make
compound_head() a wrapper on it.
This patch has no functional change, and it reduces the object
size slightly:
text data bss dec hex filename
11003 1328 16 12347 303b mm/swap.o.orig
10971 1328 16 12315 301b mm/swap.o.patched
I've ran "perf top -e branch-miss" to observe branch-miss in this case.
As Michael points out, it's a slow path, so only very few times this case
happens. But I grep'ed the code base, and found there still are some
other call sites could be benifited from this helper. And given that it
only bloating up the source by only 5 lines, but with a reduced object
size. I still believe this helper deserves to exsit.

The nmask argument to set_mempolicy() is const according to the user-space
header numaif.h, and since the kernel does indeed not modify it, it might
as well be declared const in the kernel.

A block device driver may choose to provide a rw_page operation. These
will be called when the filesystem is attempting to do page sized I/O to
page cache pages (ie not for direct I/O). This does preclude I/Os that
are larger than page size, so this may only be a performance gain for
some devices.

page_endio() takes care of updating all the appropriate page flags once
I/O has finished to a page. Switch to using mapping_set_error() instead
of setting AS_EIO directly; this will handle thin-provisioned devices
correctly.

The last in-tree caller of block_write_full_page_endio() was removed in
January 2013. It's time to remove the EXPORT_SYMBOL, which leaves
block_write_full_page() as the only caller of
block_write_full_page_endio(), so inline block_write_full_page_endio()
into block_write_full_page().

At present, we have the following mutexes protecting data related to per
memcg kmem caches:
- slab_mutex. This one is held during the whole kmem cache creation
and destruction paths. We also take it when updating per root cache
memcg_caches arrays (see memcg_update_all_caches). As a result, taking
it guarantees there will be no changes to any kmem cache (including per
memcg). Why do we need something else then? The point is it is
private to slab implementation and has some internal dependencies with
other mutexes (get_online_cpus). So we just don't want to rely upon it
and prefer to introduce additional mutexes instead.
- activate_kmem_mutex. Initially it was added to synchronize
initializing kmem limit (memcg_activate_kmem). However, since we can
grow per root cache memcg_caches arrays only on kmem limit
initialization (see memcg_update_all_caches), we also employ it to
protect against memcg_caches arrays relocation (e.g. see
__kmem_cache_destroy_memcg_children).
- We have a convention not to take slab_mutex in memcontrol.c, but we
want to walk over per memcg memcg_slab_caches lists there (e.g. for
destroying all memcg caches on offline). So we have per memcg
slab_caches_mutex's protecting those lists.
The mutexes are taken in the following order:
activate_kmem_mutex -> slab_mutex -> memcg::slab_caches_mutex
Such a syncrhonization scheme has a number of flaws, for instance:
- We can't call kmem_cache_{destroy,shrink} while walking over a
memcg::memcg_slab_caches list due to locking order. As a result, in
mem_cgroup_destroy_all_caches we schedule the
memcg_cache_params::destroy work shrinking and destroying the cache.
- We don't have a mutex to synchronize per memcg caches destruction
between memcg offline (mem_cgroup_destroy_all_caches) and root cache
destruction (__kmem_cache_destroy_memcg_children). Currently we just
don't bother about it.
This patch simplifies it by substituting per memcg slab_caches_mutex's
with the global memcg_slab_mutex. It will be held whenever a new per
memcg cache is created or destroyed, so it protects per root cache
memcg_caches arrays and per memcg memcg_slab_caches lists. The locking
order is following:
activate_kmem_mutex -> memcg_slab_mutex -> slab_mutex
This allows us to call kmem_cache_{create,shrink,destroy} under the
memcg_slab_mutex. As a result, we don't need memcg_cache_params::destroy
work any more - we can simply destroy caches while iterating over a per
memcg slab caches list.
Also using the global mutex simplifies synchronization between concurrent
per memcg caches creation/destruction, e.g. mem_cgroup_destroy_all_caches
vs __kmem_cache_destroy_memcg_children.
The downside of this is that we substitute per-memcg slab_caches_mutex's
with a hummer-like global mutex, but since we already take either the
slab_mutex or the cgroup_mutex along with a memcg::slab_caches_mutex, it
shouldn't hurt concurrency a lot.
