The per node counters are used mainly for showing data through the sysfs API.
If that API is not compiled in then there is no point in keeping track of this
data. Disable counters for the number of slabs and the number of total slabs
if !SLUB_DEBUG. Incrementing the per node counters is also accessing a
potentially contended cacheline so this could actually be a performance
benefit to embedded systems.
SLABINFO support is also affected. It now must depends on SLUB_DEBUG (which
is on by default).
Patch also avoids a check for a NULL kmem_cache_node pointer in new_slab()
if the system is not compiled with NUMA support.

count_partial() is used by both slabinfo and the sysfs proc support. Move
the function directly before the beginning of the sysfs code so that it can
be easily found. Rework the preprocessor conditional to take into account
that slub sysfs support depends on CONFIG_SYSFS *and* CONFIG_SLUB_DEBUG.
Make CONFIG_SLUB_STATS depend on CONFIG_SLUB_DEBUG and CONFIG_SYSFS. There
is no point of keeping statistics if no one can restrive them.

As spotted by kmemcheck, we need to initialize the per-CPU ->stat array before

[kmem_cache_cpu structures are usually allocated from arrays defined via
DEFINE_PER_CPU that are zeroed so we have not noticed this so far --cl].

This reverts commit 3811dbf67162bd08412f1b0e02e554f353e93bdb.
The masking was not at all useless, and it was sensible. We handle
GFP_ZERO in the caller, and passing it down to any page allocator logic

Avoid warnings about unused functions if neither SLUB_DEBUG nor CONFIG_SLABINFO

The fallback path needs to enable interrupts like done for
the other page allocator calls. This was not necessary with
the alternate fast path since we handled irq enable/disable in
the slow path. The regular fastpath handles irq enable/disable
around calls to the slow path so we need to restore the proper
status before calling the page allocator from the slowpath.

SLUB should pack even small objects nicely into cachelines if that is what
has been asked for. Use the same algorithm as SLAB for this.
The effect of this patch for a system with a cacheline size of 64
bytes is that the 24 byte sized slab caches will now put exactly
2 objects into a cacheline instead of 3 with some overlap into
the next cacheline. This reduces the object density in a 4k slab
from 170 to 128 objects (same as SLAB).

This reverts commit 1f84260c8ce3b1ce26d4c1d6dedc2f33a3a29c0c, which is
suspected to be the reason for some very occasional and hard-to-trigger
crashes that usually look related to memory allocation (mostly reported
in networking, but since that's generally the most common source of
shortlived allocations - and allocations in interrupt contexts - that in
itself is not a big clue).
See for example
http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=9973
http://lkml.org/lkml/2008/2/19/278
etc.
One promising suspicion for what the root cause of bug is (which also
explains why it's so hard to trigger in practice) came from Eric
Dumazet:
"I wonder how SLUB_FASTPATH is supposed to work, since it is affected
by a classical ABA problem of lockless algo.
cmpxchg_local(&c->freelist, object, object[c->offset]) can succeed,
while an interrupt came (on this cpu), and several allocations were
done, and one free was performed at the end of this interruption, so
'object' was recycled.
c->freelist can then contain the previous value (object), but
object[c->offset] was changed by IRQ.
We then put back in freelist an already allocated object."
but another reason for the revert is simply that everybody agrees that
this code was the main suspect just by virtue of the pattern of oopses.

Currently we hand off PAGE_SIZEd kmallocs to the page allocator in the
mistaken belief that the page allocator can handle these allocations
effectively. However, measurements indicate a minimum slowdown by the
factor of 8 (and that is only SMP, NUMA is much worse) vs the slub fastpath
which causes regressions in tbench.
Increase the number of kmalloc caches by one so that we again handle 4k
kmallocs directly from slub. 4k page buffering for the page allocator
will be performed by slub like done by slab.
At some point the page allocator fastpath should be fixed. A lot of the kernel
would benefit from a faster ability to allocate a single page. If that is
done then the 4k allocs may again be forwarded to the page allocator and this
patch could be reverted.

Slub already has two ways of allocating an object. One is via its own
logic and the other is via the call to kmalloc_large to hand off object
allocation to the page allocator. kmalloc_large is typically used
for objects >= PAGE_SIZE.
We can use that handoff to avoid failing if a higher order kmalloc slab
allocation cannot be satisfied by the page allocator. If we reach the
out of memory path then simply try a kmalloc_large(). kfree() can
already handle the case of an object that was allocated via the page
allocator and so this will work just fine (apart from object
accounting...).
For any kmalloc slab that already requires higher order allocs (which
makes it impossible to use the page allocator fastpath!)
we just use PAGE_ALLOC_COSTLY_ORDER to get the largest number of
objects in one go from the page allocator slowpath.
On a 4k platform this patch will lead to the following use of higher
order pages for the following kmalloc slabs:
8 ... 1024 order 0
2048 .. 4096 order 3 (4k slab only after the next patch)
We may waste some space if fallback occurs on a 2k slab but we
are always able to fallback to an order 0 alloc.

The statistics provided here allow the monitoring of allocator behavior but
at the cost of some (minimal) loss of performance. Counters are placed in
SLUB's per cpu data structure. The per cpu structure may be extended by the
statistics to grow larger than one cacheline which will increase the cache
footprint of SLUB.
There is a compile option to enable/disable the inclusion of the runtime
statistics and its off by default.
The slabinfo tool is enhanced to support these statistics via two options:
-D Switches the line of information displayed for a slab from size
mode to activity mode.
-A Sorts the slabs displayed by activity. This allows the display of
the slabs most important to the performance of a certain load.
-r Report option will report detailed statistics on
Example (tbench load):

free able to skip list processing because the slab was in use
as the cpuslab of another processor.
Flushes: Number of times the cpuslab was flushed on request

Deactivate: Statistics how slabs were deactivated. Shows how they were

In general fastpath is very good. Slowpath without partial list processing is
also desirable. Any touching of partial list uses node specific locks which
may potentially cause list lock contention.

Provide an alternate implementation of the SLUB fast paths for alloc
and free using cmpxchg_local. The cmpxchg_local fast path is selected
for arches that have CONFIG_FAST_CMPXCHG_LOCAL set. An arch should only
set CONFIG_FAST_CMPXCHG_LOCAL if the cmpxchg_local is faster than an
interrupt enable/disable sequence. This is known to be true for both
x86 platforms so set FAST_CMPXCHG_LOCAL for both arches.
Currently another requirement for the fastpath is that the kernel is
compiled without preemption. The restriction will go away with the
introduction of a new per cpu allocator and new per cpu operations.
The advantages of a cmpxchg_local based fast path are:
1. Potentially lower cycle count (30%-60% faster)
2. There is no need to disable and enable interrupts on the fast path.
Currently interrupts have to be disabled and enabled on every
slab operation. This is likely avoiding a significant percentage
of interrupt off / on sequences in the kernel.
3. The disposal of freed slabs can occur with interrupts enabled.
The alternate path is realized using #ifdef's. Several attempts to do the
same with macros and inline functions resulted in a mess (in particular due
to the strange way that local_interrupt_save() handles its argument and due
to the need to define macros/functions that sometimes disable interrupts
and sometimes do something else).

We use a NULL pointer on freelists to signal that there are no more objects.
However the NULL pointers of all slabs match in contrast to the pointers to
the real objects which are in different ranges for different slab pages.
Change the end pointer to be a pointer to the first object and set bit 0.
Every slab will then have a different end pointer. This is necessary to ensure
that end markers can be matched to the source slab during cmpxchg_local.
Bring back the use of the mapping field by SLUB since we would otherwise have
to call a relatively expensive function page_address() in __slab_alloc(). Use
of the mapping field allows avoiding a call to page_address() in various other
functions as well.
There is no need to change the page_mapping() function since bit 0 is set on
the mapping as also for anonymous pages. page_mapping(slab_page) will
therefore still return NULL although the mapping field is overloaded.

Add a parameter to add_partial instead of having separate functions. The
parameter allows a more detailed control of where the slab pages is placed in
the partial queues.
If we put slabs back to the front then they are likely immediately used for
allocations. If they are put at the end then we can maximize the time that
the partial slabs spent without being subject to allocations.
When deactivating slab we can put the slabs that had remote objects freed (we
can see that because objects were put on the freelist that requires locks) to
them at the end of the list so that the cachelines of remote processors can
cool down. Slabs that had objects from the local cpu freed to them (objects
exist in the lockless freelist) are put in the front of the list to be reused
ASAP in order to exploit the cache hot state of the local cpu.
Patch seems to slightly improve tbench speed (1-2%).

This converts the code to use the new kobject functions, cleaning up the
logic in doing so.

kernel_kset does not need to be a kset, but a much simpler kobject now
that we have kobj_attributes.
We also rename kernel_kset to kernel_kobj to catch all users of this
symbol with a build error instead of an easy-to-ignore build warning.

/sys/kernel is where these things should go.
Also updated the documentation and tool that used this directory.

Dynamically create the kset instead of declaring it statically.

We don't need a "default" ktype for a kset. We should set this
explicitly every time for each kset. This change is needed so that we
can make ksets dynamic, and cleans up one of the odd, undocumented
assumption that the kset/kobject/ktype model has.
This patch is based on a lot of help from Kay Sievers.
Nasty bug in the block code was found by Dave Young

Both SLUB and SLAB really did almost exactly the same thing for
/proc/slabinfo setup, using duplicate code and per-allocator #ifdef's.
This just creates a common CONFIG_SLABINFO that is enabled by both SLUB
and SLAB, and shares all the setup code. Maybe SLOB will want this some
day too.

This adds a read-only /proc/slabinfo file on SLUB, that makes slabtop work.
