git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/mason/linux-btrfs
Pull btrfs updates from Chris Mason:
"The largest set of changes here come from Miao Xie. He's cleaning up
and improving read recovery/repair for raid, and has a number of
related fixes.
I've merged another set of fsync fixes from Filipe, and he's also
improved the way we handle metadata write errors to make sure we force
the FS readonly if things go wrong.
Otherwise we have a collection of fixes and cleanups. Dave Sterba
gets a cookie for removing the most lines (thanks Dave)"

Pull devicetree changes from Grant Likely:
"This branch contains bug fixes and new features for the devicetree
code.
Most of the changes are either new testcases for the selftest code or
documentation changes. The most notable change is the addition of a
phandle resolver for use when grafting in a second device tree blob
into the core tree. The resolver isn't currently used by anything
other than the selftest module, but it will be used to support device
tree overlays; probably in the v3.19 timeframe.
Also note that I've moved my normal tree from git.secretlab.ca to
git.kernel.org"

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tiwai/sound
Pull sound updates from Takashi Iwai:
"This time it's a relatively calm update batch, but the amount isn't
too small in the end. Here we go over some highlights:
ALSA core:
- One major change is the support of nonatomic PCM operations. This
allows the trigger and other callbacks to call schedule(), which
would be useful for mailbox type communications. Already some
drivers (Digigram ones) have been converted to use together with
threaded irqs as an example.
- Improvement / fixes of DSD PCM format support
HD-audio:
- Large volume of rewrites are found in Realtek codec driver for
converting Dell and HP quirks to generic forms.
- Inverted dmic code cleanup from David.
- Realtek COEF access has been optimized.
- Now HD-audio jack infrastructure allows multiple callbacks, which
fixes / simplifies the jack-dependent power controls on STAC/IDT
and VIA codecs.
- Many additional device-specific fixups as usual
- A few deadcode cleanups, CA0132 code cleanup, etc.
ASoC:
- More componentization work from Lars-Peter, this time mainly
cleaning up the suspend and bias level transition callbacks.
- Real system support for the Intel drivers and a bunch of fixes and
enhancements for the associated CODEC drivers, this is going to
need a lot quirks over time due to the lack of any firmware
description of the boards.
- Jack detect support for simple card from Dylan Reid.
- A bunch of small fixes and enhancements for the Freescale drivers.
- New drivers for Analog Devices SSM4567, Cirrus Logic CS35L32,
Everest Semiconductor ES8328 and Freescale cards using the ASRC in
newer i.MX processors.
- A few simple-card fixes, mostly cleanups but also a fix for
interaction between GPIO 0 and simple-card.
Misc:
- Virtuoso / Oxygen updates by Clemens
- USB-audio: Yamaha MOTIF XF MIDI port name fixes
- Conversion of kernel messages to standard dev_*() in ctxfi driver"

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tj/percpu
Pull percpu updates from Tejun Heo:
"A lot of activities on percpu front. Notable changes are...
- percpu allocator now can take @gfp. If @gfp doesn't contain
GFP_KERNEL, it tries to allocate from what's already available to
the allocator and a work item tries to keep the reserve around
certain level so that these atomic allocations usually succeed.
This will replace the ad-hoc percpu memory pool used by
blk-throttle and also be used by the planned blkcg support for
writeback IOs.
Please note that I noticed a bug in how @gfp is interpreted while
preparing this pull request and applied the fix 6ae833c7fe0c
("percpu: fix how @gfp is interpreted by the percpu allocator")
just now.
- percpu_ref now uses longs for percpu and global counters instead of
ints. It leads to more sparse packing of the percpu counters on
64bit machines but the overhead should be negligible and this
allows using percpu_ref for refcnting pages and in-memory objects
directly.
- The switching between percpu and single counter modes of a
percpu_ref is made independent of putting the base ref and a
percpu_ref can now optionally be initialized in single or killed
mode. This allows avoiding percpu shutdown latency for cases where
the refcounted objects may be synchronously created and destroyed
in rapid succession with only a fraction of them reaching fully
operational status (SCSI probing does this when combined with
blk-mq support). It's also planned to be used to implement forced
single mode to detect underflow more timely for debugging.
There's a separate branch percpu/for-3.18-consistent-ops which cleans
up the duplicate percpu accessors. That branch causes a number of
conflicts with s390 and other trees. I'll send a separate pull
request w/ resolutions once other branches are merged"

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tj/libata
Pull libata update from Tejun Heo:
"AHCI is getting per-port irq handling and locks for better
scalability. The gain is not huge but measureable with multiple high
iops devices connected to the same host; however, the value of
threaded IRQ handling seems negligible for AHCI and it likely will
revert to non-threaded handling soon.
Another noteworthy change is George Spelvin's "libata: Un-break ATA
blacklist". During 3.17 devel cycle, the libata blacklist glob
matching got generalized and rewritten; unfortunately, the patch
forgot to swap arguments to match the new match function and ended up
breaking blacklist matching completely. It got noticed only a couple
days ago so it couldn't make for-3.17-fixes either. :(
Other than the above two, nothing too interesting - the usual cleanup
churns and device-specific changes"

("Remove magic macros for screen_info structure members"), but (only) the
definitions reappeared a few days later in commit ee8e7cfe9d330d6f ("Make

Remove them for good. Amen.

It appears that gcc is better at optimising a double call to min and max
rather than open coded min3 and max3. This can be observed here:
$ cat min-max.c
#define min(x, y) ({ \
typeof(x) _min1 = (x); \
typeof(y) _min2 = (y); \
(void) (&_min1 == &_min2); \
_min1 < _min2 ? _min1 : _min2; })
#define min3(x, y, z) ({ \
typeof(x) _min1 = (x); \
typeof(y) _min2 = (y); \
typeof(z) _min3 = (z); \
(void) (&_min1 == &_min2); \
(void) (&_min1 == &_min3); \
_min1 < _min2 ? (_min1 < _min3 ? _min1 : _min3) : \
(_min2 < _min3 ? _min2 : _min3); })
int fmin3(int x, int y, int z) { return min3(x, y, z); }
int fmin2(int x, int y, int z) { return min(min(x, y), z); }

fmin3 function, which uses open-coded min3 macro, is compiled into total
of ten instructions including a conditional branch, whereas fmin2
function, which uses two calls to min2 macro, is compiled into six
instructions with no branches.
Similarly, open-coded clamp produces the same code as clamp using min and
max macros, but the latter is much shorter:
$ cat clamp.c
#define clamp(val, min, max) ({ \
typeof(val) __val = (val); \
typeof(min) __min = (min); \
typeof(max) __max = (max); \

zs_get_total_size_bytes returns a amount of memory zsmalloc consumed with
*byte unit* but zsmalloc operates *page unit* rather than byte unit so
let's change the API so benefit we could get is that reduce unnecessary
overhead (ie, change page unit with byte unit) in zsmalloc.
Since return type is pages, "zs_get_total_pages" is better than
"zs_get_total_size_bytes".

Always mark pages with PageBalloon even if balloon compaction is disabled
and expose this mark in /proc/kpageflags as KPF_BALLOON.
Also this patch adds three counters into /proc/vmstat: "balloon_inflate",
"balloon_deflate" and "balloon_migrate". They accumulate balloon
activity. Current size of balloon is (balloon_inflate - balloon_deflate)
pages.
All generic balloon code now gathered under option CONFIG_MEMORY_BALLOON.
It should be selected by ballooning driver which wants use this feature.
Currently virtio-balloon is the only user.

Sasha Levin reported KASAN splash inside isolate_migratepages_range().
Problem is in the function __is_movable_balloon_page() which tests
AS_BALLOON_MAP in page->mapping->flags. This function has no protection
against anonymous pages. As result it tried to check address space flags
inside struct anon_vma.
Further investigation shows more problems in current implementation:
* Special branch in __unmap_and_move() never works:
balloon_page_movable() checks page flags and page_count. In
__unmap_and_move() page is locked, reference counter is elevated, thus
balloon_page_movable() always fails. As a result execution goes to the
normal migration path. virtballoon_migratepage() returns
MIGRATEPAGE_BALLOON_SUCCESS instead of MIGRATEPAGE_SUCCESS,
move_to_new_page() thinks this is an error code and assigns
newpage->mapping to NULL. Newly migrated page lose connectivity with
balloon an all ability for further migration.
* lru_lock erroneously required in isolate_migratepages_range() for
isolation ballooned page. This function releases lru_lock periodically,
this makes migration mostly impossible for some pages.
* balloon_page_dequeue have a tight race with balloon_page_isolate:
balloon_page_isolate could be executed in parallel with dequeue between
picking page from list and locking page_lock. Race is rare because they
use trylock_page() for locking.
This patch fixes all of them.
Instead of fake mapping with special flag this patch uses special state of
page->_mapcount: PAGE_BALLOON_MAPCOUNT_VALUE = -256. Buddy allocator uses
PAGE_BUDDY_MAPCOUNT_VALUE = -128 for similar purpose. Storing mark
directly in struct page makes everything safer and easier.
PagePrivate is used to mark pages present in page list (i.e. not
isolated, like PageLRU for normal pages). It replaces special rules for
reference counter and makes balloon migration similar to migration of
normal pages. This flag is protected by page_lock together with link to
the balloon device.

In a memcg with even just moderate cache pressure, success rates for
transparent huge page allocations drop to zero, wasting a lot of effort
that the allocator puts into assembling these pages.
The reason for this is that the memcg reclaim code was never designed for
higher-order charges. It reclaims in small batches until there is room
for at least one page. Huge page charges only succeed when these batches
add up over a series of huge faults, which is unlikely under any
significant load involving order-0 allocations in the group.
Remove that loop on the memcg side in favor of passing the actual reclaim
goal to direct reclaim, which is already set up and optimized to meet
higher-order goals efficiently.
This brings memcg's THP policy in line with the system policy: if the
allocator painstakingly assembles a hugepage, memcg will at least make an
honest effort to charge it. As a result, transparent hugepage allocation
rates amid cache activity are drastically improved:
vanilla patched
pgalloc 4717530.80 ( +0.00%) 4451376.40 ( -5.64%)
pgfault 491370.60 ( +0.00%) 225477.40 ( -54.11%)
pgmajfault 2.00 ( +0.00%) 1.80 ( -6.67%)
thp_fault_alloc 0.00 ( +0.00%) 531.60 (+100.00%)
thp_fault_fallback 749.00 ( +0.00%) 217.40 ( -70.88%)
[ Note: this may in turn increase memory consumption from internal
fragmentation, which is an inherent risk of transparent hugepages.
Some setups may have to adjust the memcg limits accordingly to
accomodate this - or, if the machine is already packed to capacity,
disable the transparent huge page feature. ]

`While growing per memcg caches arrays, we jump between memcontrol.c and
slab_common.c in a weird way:
memcg_alloc_cache_id - memcontrol.c
memcg_update_all_caches - slab_common.c
memcg_update_cache_size - memcontrol.c
There's absolutely no reason why memcg_update_cache_size can't live on the
slab's side though. So let's move it there and settle it comfortably amid
per-memcg cache allocation functions.
Besides, this patch cleans this function up a bit, removing all the
useless comments from it, and renames it to memcg_update_cache_params to
conform to memcg_alloc/free_cache_params, which we already have in
slab_common.c.

The only reason why they live in memcontrol.c is that we get/put css
reference to the owner memory cgroup in them. However, we can do that in
memcg_{un,}register_cache. OTOH, there are several reasons to move them
to slab_common.c.
First, I think that the less public interface functions we have in
memcontrol.h the better. Since the functions I move don't depend on
memcontrol, I think it's worth making them private to slab, especially
taking into account that the arrays are defined on the slab's side too.
Second, the way how per-memcg arrays are updated looks rather awkward: it
proceeds from memcontrol.c (__memcg_activate_kmem) to slab_common.c
(memcg_update_all_caches) and back to memcontrol.c again
(memcg_update_array_size). In the following patches I move the function
relocating the arrays (memcg_update_array_size) to slab_common.c and
therefore get rid this circular call path. I think we should have the
cache allocation stuff in the same place where we have relocation, because
it's easier to follow the code then. So I move arrays alloc/free
functions to slab_common.c too.
The third point isn't obvious. I'm going to make the list_lru structure
per-memcg to allow targeted kmem reclaim. That means we will have
per-memcg arrays in list_lrus too. It turns out that it's much easier to
update these arrays in list_lru.c rather than in memcontrol.c, because all
the stuff we need is defined there. This patch makes memcg caches arrays
allocation path conform that of the upcoming list_lru.
So let's move these functions to slab_common.c and make them static.

commit 21caf2fc1931 ("mm: teach mm by current context info to not do I/O
during memory allocation") introduces PF_MEMALLOC_NOIO flag to avoid doing
I/O inside memory allocation, __GFP_IO is cleared when this flag is set,
but __GFP_FS implies __GFP_IO, it should also be cleared. Or it may still
run into I/O, like in superblock shrinker. And this will make the kernel
run into the deadlock case described in that commit.
See Dave Chinner's comment about io in superblock shrinker:
Filesystem shrinkers do indeed perform IO from the superblock shrinker and
have for years. Even clean inodes can require IO before they can be freed
- e.g. on an orphan list, need truncation of post-eof blocks, need to
wait for ordered operations to complete before it can be freed, etc.
IOWs, Ext4, btrfs and XFS all can issue and/or block on arbitrary amounts
of IO in the superblock shrinker context. XFS, in particular, has been
doing transactions and IO from the VFS inode cache shrinker since it was
first introduced....
Fix this by clearing __GFP_FS in memalloc_noio_flags(), this function has
masked all the gfp_mask that will be passed into fs for the processes
setting PF_MEMALLOC_NOIO in the direct reclaim path.

Page reclaim tests zone_is_reclaim_dirty(), but the site that actually
sets this state does zone_set_flag(zone, ZONE_TAIL_LRU_DIRTY), sending the
reader through layers indirection just to track down a simple bit.
Remove all zone flag wrappers and just use bitops against zone->flags
directly. It's just as readable and the lines are barely any longer.
Also rename ZONE_TAIL_LRU_DIRTY to ZONE_DIRTY to match ZONE_WRITEBACK, and
remove the zone_flags_t typedef.

The deprecation warnings for the scan_unevictable interface triggers by
scripts doing `sysctl -a | grep something else'. This is annoying and not
helpful.
The interface has been defunct since 264e56d8247e ("mm: disable user
interface to manually rescue unevictable pages"), which was in 2011, and
there haven't been any reports of usecases for it, only reports that the
deprecation warnings are annying. It's unlikely that anybody is using
this interface specifically at this point, so remove it.

During development of c/r we've noticed that in case if we need to support
user namespaces we face a problem with capabilities in prctl(PR_SET_MM,
...) call, in particular once new user namespace is created
capable(CAP_SYS_RESOURCE) no longer passes.
A approach is to eliminate CAP_SYS_RESOURCE check but pass all new values
in one bundle, which would allow the kernel to make more intensive test
for sanity of values and same time allow us to support checkpoint/restore
of user namespaces.
Thus a new command PR_SET_MM_MAP introduced. It takes a pointer of
prctl_mm_map structure which carries all the members to be updated.
prctl(PR_SET_MM, PR_SET_MM_MAP, struct prctl_mm_map *, size)
struct prctl_mm_map {
__u64 start_code;
__u64 end_code;
__u64 start_data;
__u64 end_data;
__u64 start_brk;
__u64 brk;
__u64 start_stack;
__u64 arg_start;
__u64 arg_end;
__u64 env_start;
__u64 env_end;
__u64 *auxv;
__u32 auxv_size;
__u32 exe_fd;
};
All members except @exe_fd correspond ones of struct mm_struct. To figure
out which available values these members may take here are meanings of the
members.
- start_code, end_code: represent bounds of executable code area
- start_data, end_data: represent bounds of data area
- start_brk, brk: used to calculate bounds for brk() syscall
- start_stack: used when accounting space needed for command
line arguments, environment and shmat() syscall
- arg_start, arg_end, env_start, env_end: represent memory area
supplied for command line arguments and environment variables
- auxv, auxv_size: carries auxiliary vector, Elf format specifics
- exe_fd: file descriptor number for executable link (/proc/self/exe)
Thus we apply the following requirements to the values
1) Any member except @auxv, @auxv_size, @exe_fd is rather an address
in user space thus it must be laying inside [mmap_min_addr, mmap_max_addr)
interval.
2) While @[start|end]_code and @[start|end]_data may point to an nonexisting
VMAs (say a program maps own new .text and .data segments during execution)
the rest of members should belong to VMA which must exist.
3) Addresses must be ordered, ie @start_ member must not be greater or
equal to appropriate @end_ member.
4) As in regular Elf loading procedure we require that @start_brk and
@brk be greater than @end_data.
5) If RLIMIT_DATA rlimit is set to non-infinity new values should not
exceed existing limit. Same applies to RLIMIT_STACK.
6) Auxiliary vector size must not exceed existing one (which is
predefined as AT_VECTOR_SIZE and depends on architecture).
7) File descriptor passed in @exe_file should be pointing
to executable file (because we use existing prctl_set_mm_exe_file_locked
helper it ensures that the file we are going to use as exe link has all
required permission granted).
Now about where these members are involved inside kernel code:
- @start_code and @end_code are used in /proc/$pid/[stat|statm] output;
- @start_data and @end_data are used in /proc/$pid/[stat|statm] output,
also they are considered if there enough space for brk() syscall
result if RLIMIT_DATA is set;
- @start_brk shown in /proc/$pid/stat output and accounted in brk()
syscall if RLIMIT_DATA is set; also this member is tested to
find a symbolic name of mmap event for perf system (we choose
if event is generated for "heap" area); one more aplication is
selinux -- we test if a process has PROCESS__EXECHEAP permission
if trying to make heap area being executable with mprotect() syscall;
- @brk is a current value for brk() syscall which lays inside heap
area, it's shown in /proc/$pid/stat. When syscall brk() succesfully
provides new memory area to a user space upon brk() completion the
mm::brk is updated to carry new value;
Both @start_brk and @brk are actively used in /proc/$pid/maps
and /proc/$pid/smaps output to find a symbolic name "heap" for
VMA being scanned;
- @start_stack is printed out in /proc/$pid/stat and used to
find a symbolic name "stack" for task and threads in
/proc/$pid/maps and /proc/$pid/smaps output, and as the same
as with @start_brk -- perf system uses it for event naming.
Also kernel treat this member as a start address of where
to map vDSO pages and to check if there is enough space
for shmat() syscall;
- @arg_start, @arg_end, @env_start and @env_end are printed out
in /proc/$pid/stat. Another access to the data these members
represent is to read /proc/$pid/environ or /proc/$pid/cmdline.
Any attempt to read these areas kernel tests with access_process_vm
helper so a user must have enough rights for this action;
- @auxv and @auxv_size may be read from /proc/$pid/auxv. Strictly
speaking kernel doesn't care much about which exactly data is
sitting there because it is solely for userspace;
- @exe_fd is referred from /proc/$pid/exe and when generating
coredump. We uses prctl_set_mm_exe_file_locked helper to update
this member, so exe-file link modification remains one-shot
action.
Still note that updating exe-file link now doesn't require sys-resource
capability anymore, after all there is no much profit in preventing setup
own file link (there are a number of ways to execute own code -- ptrace,
ld-preload, so that the only reliable way to find which exactly code is
executed is to inspect running program memory). Still we require the
caller to be at least user-namespace root user.
I believe the old interface should be deprecated and ripped off in a
couple of kernel releases if no one against.
To test if new interface is implemented in the kernel one can pass
PR_SET_MM_MAP_SIZE opcode and the kernel returns the size of currently
supported struct prctl_mm_map.

Async compaction aborts when it detects zone lock contention or
need_resched() is true. David Rientjes has reported that in practice,
most direct async compactions for THP allocation abort due to
need_resched(). This means that a second direct compaction is never
attempted, which might be OK for a page fault, but khugepaged is intended
to attempt a sync compaction in such case and in these cases it won't.
This patch replaces "bool contended" in compact_control with an int that
distinguishes between aborting due to need_resched() and aborting due to
lock contention. This allows propagating the abort through all compaction
functions as before, but passing the abort reason up to
__alloc_pages_slowpath() which decides when to continue with direct
reclaim and another compaction attempt.
Another problem is that try_to_compact_pages() did not act upon the
reported contention (both need_resched() or lock contention) immediately
and would proceed with another zone from the zonelist. When
need_resched() is true, that means initializing another zone compaction,
only to check again need_resched() in isolate_migratepages() and aborting.
For zone lock contention, the unintended consequence is that the lock
contended status reported back to the allocator is detrmined from the last
zone where compaction was attempted, which is rather arbitrary.
This patch fixes the problem in the following way:
- async compaction of a zone aborting due to need_resched() or fatal signal
pending means that further zones should not be tried. We report
COMPACT_CONTENDED_SCHED to the allocator.
- aborting zone compaction due to lock contention means we can still try
another zone, since it has different set of locks. We report back
COMPACT_CONTENDED_LOCK only if *all* zones where compaction was attempted,
it was aborted due to lock contention.
As a result of these fixes, khugepaged will proceed with second sync
compaction as intended, when the preceding async compaction aborted due to
need_resched(). Page fault compactions aborting due to need_resched()
will spare some cycles previously wasted by initializing another zone
compaction only to abort again. Lock contention will be reported only
when compaction in all zones aborted due to lock contention, and therefore
it's not a good idea to try again after reclaim.
In stress-highalloc from mmtests configured to use __GFP_NO_KSWAPD, this
has improved number of THP collapse allocations by 10%, which shows
positive effect on khugepaged. The benchmark's success rates are
unchanged as it is not recognized as khugepaged. Numbers of compact_stall
and compact_fail events have however decreased by 20%, with
compact_success still a bit improved, which is good. With benchmark
configured not to use __GFP_NO_KSWAPD, there is 6% improvement in THP
collapse allocations, and only slight improvement in stalls and failures.

When direct sync compaction is often unsuccessful, it may become deferred
for some time to avoid further useless attempts, both sync and async.
Successful high-order allocations un-defer compaction, while further
unsuccessful compaction attempts prolong the compaction deferred period.
Currently the checking and setting deferred status is performed only on
the preferred zone of the allocation that invoked direct compaction. But
compaction itself is attempted on all eligible zones in the zonelist, so
the behavior is suboptimal and may lead both to scenarios where 1)
compaction is attempted uselessly, or 2) where it's not attempted despite
good chances of succeeding, as shown on the examples below:
1) A direct compaction with Normal preferred zone failed and set
deferred compaction for the Normal zone. Another unrelated direct
compaction with DMA32 as preferred zone will attempt to compact DMA32
zone even though the first compaction attempt also included DMA32 zone.
In another scenario, compaction with Normal preferred zone failed to
compact Normal zone, but succeeded in the DMA32 zone, so it will not
defer compaction. In the next attempt, it will try Normal zone which
will fail again, instead of skipping Normal zone and trying DMA32
directly.
2) Kswapd will balance DMA32 zone and reset defer status based on
watermarks looking good. A direct compaction with preferred Normal
zone will skip compaction of all zones including DMA32 because Normal
was still deferred. The allocation might have succeeded in DMA32, but
won't.
This patch makes compaction deferring work on individual zone basis
instead of preferred zone. For each zone, it checks compaction_deferred()
to decide if the zone should be skipped. If watermarks fail after
compacting the zone, defer_compaction() is called. The zone where
watermarks passed can still be deferred when the allocation attempt is
unsuccessful. When allocation is successful, compaction_defer_reset() is
called for the zone containing the allocated page. This approach should
approximate calling defer_compaction() only on zones where compaction was
attempted and did not yield allocated page. There might be corner cases
but that is inevitable as long as the decision to stop compacting dues not
guarantee that a page will be allocated.
Due to a new COMPACT_DEFERRED return value, some functions relying
implicitly on COMPACT_SKIPPED = 0 had to be updated, with comments made
more accurate. The did_some_progress output parameter of
__alloc_pages_direct_compact() is removed completely, as the caller
actually does not use it after compaction sets it - it is only considered
when direct reclaim sets it.
During testing on a two-node machine with a single very small Normal zone
on node 1, this patch has improved success rates in stress-highalloc
mmtests benchmark. The success here were previously made worse by commit
3a025760fc15 ("mm: page_alloc: spill to remote nodes before waking
kswapd") as kswapd was no longer resetting often enough the deferred
compaction for the Normal zone, and DMA32 zones on both nodes were thus
not considered for compaction. On different machine, success rates were
improved with __GFP_NO_KSWAPD allocations.

For architectures without coherent DMA, memory for DMA may need to be
remapped with coherent attributes. Factor out the the remapping code from
arm and put it in a common location to reduce code duplication.
As part of this, the arm APIs are now migrated away from
ioremap_page_range to the common APIs which use map_vm_area for remapping.
This should be an equivalent change and using map_vm_area is more correct
as ioremap_page_range is intended to bring in io addresses into the cpu
space and not regular kernel managed memory.

ARCH_USES_NUMA_PROT_NONE was defined for architectures that implemented
_PAGE_NUMA using _PROT_NONE. This saved using an additional PTE bit and
relied on the fact that PROT_NONE vmas were skipped by the NUMA hinting
fault scanner. This was found to be conceptually confusing with a lot of
implicit assumptions and it was asked that an alternative be found.
Commit c46a7c81 "x86: define _PAGE_NUMA by reusing software bits on the
PMD and PTE levels" redefined _PAGE_NUMA on x86 to be one of the swap PTE
bits and shrunk the maximum possible swap size but it did not go far
enough. There are no architectures that reuse _PROT_NONE as _PROT_NUMA
but the relics still exist.
This patch removes ARCH_USES_NUMA_PROT_NONE and removes some unnecessary
duplication in powerpc vs the generic implementation by defining the types
the core NUMA helpers expected to exist from x86 with their ppc64
equivalent. This necessitated that a PTE bit mask be created that
identified the bits that distinguish present from NUMA pte entries but it
is expected this will only differ between arches based on _PAGE_PROTNONE.
The naming for the generic helpers was taken from x86 originally but ppc64
has types that are equivalent for the purposes of the helper so they are
mapped instead of duplicating code.

Currently memory-hotplug has two limits:
1. If the memory block is in ZONE_NORMAL, you can change it to
ZONE_MOVABLE, but this memory block must be adjacent to ZONE_MOVABLE.
2. If the memory block is in ZONE_MOVABLE, you can change it to
ZONE_NORMAL, but this memory block must be adjacent to ZONE_NORMAL.
With this patch, we can easy to know a memory block can be onlined to
which zone, and don't need to know the above two limits.

Because of chicken and egg problem, initialization of SLAB is really
complicated. We need to allocate cpu cache through SLAB to make the
kmem_cache work, but before initialization of kmem_cache, allocation
through SLAB is impossible.
On the other hand, SLUB does initialization in a more simple way. It uses
percpu allocator to allocate cpu cache so there is no chicken and egg
problem.
So, this patch try to use percpu allocator in SLAB. This simplifies the
initialization step in SLAB so that we could maintain SLAB code more
easily.
In my testing there is no performance difference.
This implementation relies on percpu allocator. Because percpu allocator
uses vmalloc address space, vmalloc address space could be exhausted by
this change on many cpu system with *32 bit* kernel. This implementation
can cover 1024 cpus in worst case by following calculation.
Worst: 1024 cpus * 4 bytes for pointer * 300 kmem_caches *
120 objects per cpu_cache = 140 MB
Normal: 1024 cpus * 4 bytes for pointer * 150 kmem_caches(slab merge) *
80 objects per cpu_cache = 46 MB

Anton noticed (http://www.spinics.net/lists/linux-mm/msg67489.html) that
on ppc LPARs with memoryless nodes, a large amount of memory was consumed
by slabs and was marked unreclaimable. He tracked it down to slab
deactivations in the SLUB core when we allocate remotely, leading to poor
efficiency always when memoryless nodes are present.
After much discussion, Joonsoo provided a few patches that help
significantly. They don't resolve the problem altogether:
- memory hotplug still needs testing, that is when a memoryless node
becomes memory-ful, we want to dtrt
- there are other reasons for going off-node than memoryless nodes,
e.g., fully exhausted local nodes
Neither case is resolved with this series, but I don't think that should
block their acceptance, as they can be explored/resolved with follow-on
patches.
The series consists of:
[1/3] topology: add support for node_to_mem_node() to determine the
fallback node
[2/3] slub: fallback to node_to_mem_node() node if allocating on
memoryless node
- Joonsoo's patches to cache the nearest node with memory for each
NUMA node
[3/3] Partial revert of 81c98869faa5 (""kthread: ensure locality of
task_struct allocations")
- At Tejun's request, keep the knowledge of memoryless node fallback
to the allocator core.
This patch (of 3):
We need to determine the fallback node in slub allocator if the allocation
target node is memoryless node. Without it, the SLUB wrongly select the
node which has no memory and can't use a partial slab, because of node
mismatch. Introduced function, node_to_mem_node(X), will return a node Y
with memory that has the nearest distance. If X is memoryless node, it
will return nearest distance node, but, if X is normal node, it will
return itself.
We will use this function in following patch to determine the fallback
node.

Now, we track caller if tracing or slab debugging is enabled. If they are
disabled, we could save one argument passing overhead by calling
__kmalloc(_node)(). But, I think that it would be marginal. Furthermore,
default slab allocator, SLUB, doesn't use this technique so I think that
it's okay to change this situation.
After this change, we can turn on/off CONFIG_DEBUG_SLAB without full
kernel build and remove some complicated '#if' defintion. It looks more
benefitial to me.

We don't need to keep kmem_cache definition in include/linux/slab.h if we
don't need to inline kmem_cache_size(). According to my code inspection,
this function is only called at lc_create() in lib/lru_cache.c which may
be called at initialization phase of something, so we don't need to inline
it. Therfore, move it to slab_common.c and move kmem_cache definition to
internal header.
After this change, we can change kmem_cache definition easily without full
kernel build. For instance, we can turn on/off CONFIG_SLUB_STATS without
full kernel build.
