2006-12-07[PATCH] silence unused pgdat warning from alloc_bootmem_node and friendsAndy Whitcroft
x86 NUMA systems only define bootmem for node 0. alloc_bootmem_node() and friends therefore ignore the passed pgdat and use NODE_DATA(0) in all cases. This leads to the following warnings as we are not using the passed parameter: .../mm/page_alloc.c: In function 'zone_wait_table_init': .../mm/page_alloc.c:2259: warning: unused variable 'pgdat' One option would be to define all variables used with these macros __attribute__ ((unused)), but this would leave us exposed should these become genuinely unused. The key here is that we _are_ using the value, we ignore it but that is a deliberate action. This patch adds a nested local variable within the alloc_bootmem_node helper to which the pgdat parameter is assigned making it 'used'. The nested local is marked __attribute__ ((unused)) to silence this same warning for it.

2006-12-07[PATCH] numa node ids are int, page_to_nid and zone_to_nid should return intAndy Whitcroft
NUMA node ids are passed as either int or unsigned int almost exclusivly page_to_nid and zone_to_nid both return unsigned long. This is a throw back to when page_to_nid was a #define and was thus exposing the real type of the page flags field. In addition to fixing up the definitions of page_to_nid and zone_to_nid I audited the users of these functions identifying the following incorrect uses: 1) mm/page_alloc.c show_node() -- printk dumping the node id, 2) include/asm-ia64/pgalloc.h pgtable_quicklist_free() -- comparison against numa_node_id() which returns an int from cpu_to_node(), and 3) mm/mpolicy.c check_pte_range -- used as an index in node_isset which uses bit_set which in generic code takes an int.

2006-12-07[PATCH] add numa node information to struct deviceChristoph Hellwig
For node-aware skb allocations we need information about the node in struct net_device or struct device. Davem suggested to put it into struct device which this patch does. In particular: - struct device gets a new int numa_node member if CONFIG_NUMA is set - there are two new helpers, dev_to_node and set_dev_node to transparently deal with the non-numa case - for pci devices the node-info is set to the value we get from pcibus_to_node. Note that for some architectures pcibus_to_node doesn't work yet at the time we call it currently. This is harmless and will just mean skb allocations aren't node-local on this architectures until the implementation of pcibus_to_node on these architectures have been updated (There are patches for x86 and x86_64 floating around) [akpm@osdl.org: cleanup] Signed-off-by: Christoph Hellwig <hch@lst.de> Cc: Christoph Lameter <clameter@engr.sgi.com> Cc: Greg KH <greg@kroah.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>

2006-12-07[PATCH] shared page table for hugetlb pageChen, Kenneth W
Following up with the work on shared page table done by Dave McCracken. This set of patch target shared page table for hugetlb memory only. The shared page table is particular useful in the situation of large number of independent processes sharing large shared memory segments. In the normal page case, the amount of memory saved from process' page table is quite significant. For hugetlb, the saving on page table memory is not the primary objective (as hugetlb itself already cuts down page table overhead significantly), instead, the purpose of using shared page table on hugetlb is to allow faster TLB refill and smaller cache pollution upon TLB miss. With PT sharing, pte entries are shared among hundreds of processes, the cache consumption used by all the page table is smaller and in return, application gets much higher cache hit ratio. One other effect is that cache hit ratio with hardware page walker hitting on pte in cache will be higher and this helps to reduce tlb miss latency. These two effects contribute to higher application performance.

2006-12-07[PATCH] new scheme to preempt swap tokenAshwin Chaugule
The new swap token patches replace the current token traversal algo. The old algo had a crude timeout parameter that was used to handover the token from one task to another. This algo, transfers the token to the tasks that are in need of the token. The urgency for the token is based on the number of times a task is required to swap-in pages. Accordingly, the priority of a task is incremented if it has been badly affected due to swap-outs. To ensure that the token doesnt bounce around rapidly, the token holders are given a priority boost. The priority of tasks is also decremented, if their rate of swap-in's keeps reducing. This way, the condition to check whether to pre-empt the swap token, is a matter of comparing two task's priority fields.

2006-12-07[PATCH] memory page_alloc zonelist caching reorder structurePaul Jackson
Rearrange the struct members in the 'struct zonelist_cache' structure, so as to put the readonly (once initialized) z_to_n[] array first, where it will come right after the zones[] array in struct zonelist. This pretty much eliminates the chance that the two frequently written elements of 'struct zonelist_cache', the fullzones bitmap and last_full_zap times, will end up on the same cache line as the performance sensitive, frequently read, never (after init) written zones[] array. Keeping frequently written data off frequently read cache lines is good for performance. Thanks to Rohit Seth for the suggestion.

2006-12-07[PATCH] memory page_alloc zonelist caching speedupPaul Jackson
Optimize the critical zonelist scanning for free pages in the kernel memory allocator by caching the zones that were found to be full recently, and skipping them. Remembers the zones in a zonelist that were short of free memory in the last second. And it stashes a zone-to-node table in the zonelist struct, to optimize that conversion (minimize its cache footprint.) Recent changes: This differs in a significant way from a similar patch that I posted a week ago. Now, instead of having a nodemask_t of recently full nodes, I have a bitmask of recently full zones. This solves a problem that last weeks patch had, which on systems with multiple zones per node (such as DMA zone) would take seeing any of these zones full as meaning that all zones on that node were full. Also I changed names - from "zonelist faster" to "zonelist cache", as that seemed to better convey what we're doing here - caching some of the key zonelist state (for faster access.) See below for some performance benchmark results. After all that discussion with David on why I didn't need them, I went and got some ;). I wanted to verify that I had not hurt the normal case of memory allocation noticeably. At least for my one little microbenchmark, I found (1) the normal case wasn't affected, and (2) workloads that forced scanning across multiple nodes for memory improved up to 10% fewer System CPU cycles and lower elapsed clock time ('sys' and 'real'). Good. See details, below. I didn't have the logic in get_page_from_freelist() for various full nodes and zone reclaim failures correct. That should be fixed up now - notice the new goto labels zonelist_scan, this_zone_full, and try_next_zone, in get_page_from_freelist(). There are two reasons I persued this alternative, over some earlier proposals that would have focused on optimizing the fake numa emulation case by caching the last useful zone: 1) Contrary to what I said before, we (SGI, on large ia64 sn2 systems) have seen real customer loads where the cost to scan the zonelist was a problem, due to many nodes being full of memory before we got to a node we could use. Or at least, I think we have. This was related to me by another engineer, based on experiences from some time past. So this is not guaranteed. Most likely, though. The following approach should help such real numa systems just as much as it helps fake numa systems, or any combination thereof. 2) The effort to distinguish fake from real numa, using node_distance, so that we could cache a fake numa node and optimize choosing it over equivalent distance fake nodes, while continuing to properly scan all real nodes in distance order, was going to require a nasty blob of zonelist and node distance munging. The following approach has no new dependency on node distances or zone sorting. See comment in the patch below for a description of what it actually does. Technical details of note (or controversy): - See the use of "zlc_active" and "did_zlc_setup" below, to delay adding any work for this new mechanism until we've looked at the first zone in zonelist. I figured the odds of the first zone having the memory we needed were high enough that we should just look there, first, then get fancy only if we need to keep looking. - Some odd hackery was needed to add items to struct zonelist, while not tripping up the custom zonelists built by the mm/mempolicy.c code for MPOL_BIND. My usual wordy comments below explain this. Search for "MPOL_BIND". - Some per-node data in the struct zonelist is now modified frequently, with no locking. Multiple CPU cores on a node could hit and mangle this data. The theory is that this is just performance hint data, and the memory allocator will work just fine despite any such mangling. The fields at risk are the struct 'zonelist_cache' fields 'fullzones' (a bitmask) and 'last_full_zap' (unsigned long jiffies). It should all be self correcting after at most a one second delay. - This still does a linear scan of the same lengths as before. All I've optimized is making the scan faster, not algorithmically shorter. It is now able to scan a compact array of 'unsigned short' in the case of many full nodes, so one cache line should cover quite a few nodes, rather than each node hitting another one or two new and distinct cache lines. - If both Andi and Nick don't find this too complicated, I will be (pleasantly) flabbergasted. - I removed the comment claiming we only use one cachline's worth of zonelist. We seem, at least in the fake numa case, to have put the lie to that claim. - I pay no attention to the various watermarks and such in this performance hint. A node could be marked full for one watermark, and then skipped over when searching for a page using a different watermark. I think that's actually quite ok, as it will tend to slightly increase the spreading of memory over other nodes, away from a memory stressed node. =============== Performance - some benchmark results and analysis: This benchmark runs a memory hog program that uses multiple threads to touch alot of memory as quickly as it can. Multiple runs were made, touching 12, 38, 64 or 90 GBytes out of the total 96 GBytes on the system, and using 1, 19, 37, or 55 threads (on a 56 CPU system.) System, user and real (elapsed) timings were recorded for each run, shown in units of seconds, in the table below. Two kernels were tested - 2.6.18-mm3 and the same kernel with this zonelist caching patch added. The table also shows the percentage improvement the zonelist caching sys time is over (lower than) the stock *-mm kernel. number 2.6.18-mm3 zonelist-cache delta (< 0 good) percent GBs N ------------ -------------- ---------------- systime mem threads sys user real sys user real sys user real better 12 1 153 24 177 151 24 176 -2 0 -1 1% 12 19 99 22 8 99 22 8 0 0 0 0% 12 37 111 25 6 112 25 6 1 0 0 -0% 12 55 115 25 5 110 23 5 -5 -2 0 4% 38 1 502 74 576 497 73 570 -5 -1 -6 0% 38 19 426 78 48 373 76 39 -53 -2 -9 12% 38 37 544 83 36 547 82 36 3 -1 0 -0% 38 55 501 77 23 511 80 24 10 3 1 -1% 64 1 917 125 1042 890 124 1014 -27 -1 -28 2% 64 19 1118 138 119 965 141 103 -153 3 -16 13% 64 37 1202 151 94 1136 150 81 -66 -1 -13 5% 64 55 1118 141 61 1072 140 58 -46 -1 -3 4% 90 1 1342 177 1519 1275 174 1450 -67 -3 -69 4% 90 19 2392 199 192 2116 189 176 -276 -10 -16 11% 90 37 3313 238 175 2972 225 145 -341 -13 -30 10% 90 55 1948 210 104 1843 213 100 -105 3 -4 5% Notes: 1) This test ran a memory hog program that started a specified number N of threads, and had each thread allocate and touch 1/N'th of the total memory to be used in the test run in a single loop, writing a constant word to memory, one store every 4096 bytes. Watching this test during some earlier trial runs, I would see each of these threads sit down on one CPU and stay there, for the remainder of the pass, a different CPU for each thread. 2) The 'real' column is not comparable to the 'sys' or 'user' columns. The 'real' column is seconds wall clock time elapsed, from beginning to end of that test pass. The 'sys' and 'user' columns are total CPU seconds spent on that test pass. For a 19 thread test run, for example, the sum of 'sys' and 'user' could be up to 19 times the number of 'real' elapsed wall clock seconds. 3) Tests were run on a fresh, single-user boot, to minimize the amount of memory already in use at the start of the test, and to minimize the amount of background activity that might interfere. 4) Tests were done on a 56 CPU, 28 Node system with 96 GBytes of RAM. 5) Notice that the 'real' time gets large for the single thread runs, even though the measured 'sys' and 'user' times are modest. I'm not sure what that means - probably something to do with it being slow for one thread to be accessing memory along ways away. Perhaps the fake numa system, running ostensibly the same workload, would not show this substantial degradation of 'real' time for one thread on many nodes -- lets hope not. 6) The high thread count passes (one thread per CPU - on 55 of 56 CPUs) ran quite efficiently, as one might expect. Each pair of threads needed to allocate and touch the memory on the node the two threads shared, a pleasantly parallizable workload. 7) The intermediate thread count passes, when asking for alot of memory forcing them to go to a few neighboring nodes, improved the most with this zonelist caching patch. Conclusions: * This zonelist cache patch probably makes little difference one way or the other for most workloads on real numa hardware, if those workloads avoid heavy off node allocations. * For memory intensive workloads requiring substantial off-node allocations on real numa hardware, this patch improves both kernel and elapsed timings up to ten per-cent. * For fake numa systems, I'm optimistic, but will have to leave that up to Rohit Seth to actually test (once I get him a 2.6.18 backport.)

2006-12-07[PATCH] Get rid of zone_table[]Christoph Lameter
The zone table is mostly not needed. If we have a node in the page flags then we can get to the zone via NODE_DATA() which is much more likely to be already in the cpu cache. In case of SMP and UP NODE_DATA() is a constant pointer which allows us to access an exact replica of zonetable in the node_zones field. In all of the above cases there will be no need at all for the zone table. The only remaining case is if in a NUMA system the node numbers do not fit into the page flags. In that case we make sparse generate a table that maps sections to nodes and use that table to to figure out the node number. This table is sized to fit in a single cache line for the known 32 bit NUMA platform which makes it very likely that the information can be obtained without a cache miss. For sparsemem the zone table seems to be have been fairly large based on the maximum possible number of sections and the number of zones per node. There is some memory saving by removing zone_table. The main benefit is to reduce the cache foootprint of the VM from the frequent lookups of zones. Plus it simplifies the page allocator.

But interrupt.h includes sched.h which will need spinlock.h. So the patch breaks the _bh declarations out into a separate header and includes it in both interrupt.h and spinlock.h.

2006-12-06x86[-64]:Remove 'volatile' from atomic_tLinus Torvalds
Any code that relies on the volatile would be a bug waiting to happen anyway. Don't encourage people to think that putting 'volatile' on data structures somehow fixes problems. We should always use proper locking (and other serialization) techniques. Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>

This is a resubmission of patches originally created by Ingo Molnar. The link below is the initial (?) posting of the patch. http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-kernel&m=115217423929806&w=2 Remove 'volatile' from spinlock_types as it causes GCC to generate bad code (see link) and locking should be used on kernel data.

2006-12-06[PATCH] m68knommu: remove FP conditionals in ucontext structGavin Lambert

2006-12-06sh: sh775x/titan fixes for irq header changes.Jamie Lenehan
The following moves the creation of IPR interupts into setup-7750.c and updates a few other things to make it all work after the "Drop CPU subtype IRQ headers" commit. It boots and runs fine on my titan board. - adds an ipr_idx to the ipr_data and uses a function in the subtype code to calculate the address of the IPR registers - adds a function to enable individual interrupt mode for externals in the subtype code and calls that from the titan board code instead of doing it directly. - I changed the shift in the ipr_data to be the actual # of bits to shift, instead of the numnber / 4 - made it easier to match with the manual.

2006-12-06sh: Fixup various PAGE_SIZE == 4096 assumptions.Paul Mundt
There were a number of places that made evil PAGE_SIZE == 4k assumptions that ended up breaking when trying to play with 8k and 64k page sizes, this fixes those up. The most significant change is the way we load THREAD_SIZE, previously this was done via: mov #(THREAD_SIZE >> 8), reg shll8 reg to avoid a memory access and allow the immediate load. With a 64k PAGE_SIZE, we're out of range for the immediate load size without resorting to special instructions available in later ISAs (movi20s and so on). The "workaround" for this is to bump up the shift to 10 and insert a shll2, which gives a bit more flexibility while still being much cheaper than a memory access.
