| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Commit e67a807 ("x86: Fix 'reservetop=' functionality") added a fixup_early_ioremap() call to parse_reservetop() and declared it in io.h.

* x86: Fix 'reservetop=' functionalityLiang Li2010-04-301-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When specifying the 'reservetop=0xbadc0de' kernel parameter, the kernel will stop booting due to a early_ioremap bug that relates to commit 8827247ff. The root cause of boot failure problem is the value of 'slot_virt[i]' was initialized in setup_arch->early_ioremap_init(). But later in setup_arch, the function 'parse_early_param' will modify 'FIXADDR_TOP' when 'reservetop=0xbadc0de' being specified. The simplest fix might be use __fix_to_virt(idx0) to get updated value of 'FIXADDR_TOP' in '__early_ioremap' instead of reference old value from slot_virt[slot] directly. Changelog since v0: -v1: When reservetop being handled then FIXADDR_TOP get adjusted, Hence check prev_map then re-initialize slot_virt and PMD based on new FIXADDR_TOP. -v2: place fixup_early_ioremap hence call early_ioremap_init in reserve_top_address to re-initialize slot_virt and corresponding PMD when parse_reservertop -v3: move fixup_early_ioremap out of reserve_top_address to make sure other clients of reserve_top_address like xen/lguest won't broken Signed-off-by: Liang Li <liang.li@windriver.com> Tested-by: Konrad Rzeszutek Wilk <konrad.wilk@oracle.com> Acked-by: Yinghai Lu <yinghai@kernel.org> Acked-by: Jeremy Fitzhardinge <jeremy.fitzhardinge@citrix.com> Cc: Wang Chen <wangchen@cn.fujitsu.com> Cc: "H.

* include cleanup: Update gfp.h and slab.h includes to prepare for breaking ↵Tejun Heo2010-03-301-1/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | implicit slab.h inclusion from percpu.h percpu.h is included by sched.h and module.h and thus ends up being included when building most .c files. percpu.h includes slab.h which in turn includes gfp.h making everything defined by the two files universally available and complicating inclusion dependencies. percpu.h -> slab.h dependency is about to be removed. Prepare for this change by updating users of gfp and slab facilities include those headers directly instead of assuming availability. As this conversion needs to touch large number of source files, the following script is used as the basis of conversion. http://userweb.kernel.org/~tj/misc/slabh-sweep.py The script does the followings. * Scan files for gfp and slab usages and update includes such that only the necessary includes are there. ie. if only gfp is used, gfp.h, if slab is used, slab.h. * When the script inserts a new include, it looks at the include blocks and try to put the new include such that its order conforms to its surrounding. It's put in the include block which contains core kernel includes, in the same order that the rest are ordered - alphabetical, Christmas tree, rev-Xmas-tree or at the end if there doesn't seem to be any matching order. * If the script can't find a place to put a new include (mostly because the file doesn't have fitting include block), it prints out an error message indicating which .h file needs to be added to the file. The conversion was done in the following steps. 1. The initial automatic conversion of all .c files updated slightly over 4000 files, deleting around 700 includes and adding ~480 gfp.h and ~3000 slab.h inclusions. The script emitted errors for ~400 files. 2. Each error was manually checked. Some didn't need the inclusion, some needed manual addition while adding it to implementation .h or embedding .c file was more appropriate for others. This step added inclusions to around 150 files. 3. The script was run again and the output was compared to the edits from #2 to make sure no file was left behind. 4. Several build tests were done and a couple of problems were fixed. e.g. lib/decompress_*.c used malloc/free() wrappers around slab APIs requiring slab.h to be added manually. 5. The script was run on all .h files but without automatically editing them as sprinkling gfp.h and slab.h inclusions around .h files could easily lead to inclusion dependency hell. Most gfp.h inclusion directives were ignored as stuff from gfp.h was usually wildly available and often used in preprocessor macros. Each slab.h inclusion directive was examined and added manually as necessary. 6. percpu.h was updated not to include slab.h. 7. Build test were done on the following configurations and failures were fixed. CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL was turned off for all tests (as my distributed build env didn't work with gcov compiles) and a few more options had to be turned off depending on archs to make things build (like ipr on powerpc/64 which failed due to missing writeq). * x86 and x86_64 UP and SMP allmodconfig and a custom test config. * powerpc and powerpc64 SMP allmodconfig * sparc and sparc64 SMP allmodconfig * ia64 SMP allmodconfig * s390 SMP allmodconfig * alpha SMP allmodconfig * um on x86_64 SMP allmodconfig 8. percpu.h modifications were reverted so that it could be applied as a separate patch and serve as bisection point. Given the fact that I had only a couple of failures from tests on step 6, I'm fairly confident about the coverage of this conversion patch. If there is a breakage, it's likely to be something in one of the arch headers which should be easily discoverable easily on most builds of the specific arch.

* i386: vmalloc size fixDave Young2008-08-211-1/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Booting kernel with vmalloc=[any size<=16m] will oops on my pc (i386/1G memory). BUG_ON in arch/x86/mm/init_32.c triggered: BUG_ON((unsigned long)high_memory > VMALLOC_START); It's due to the vm area hole. In include/asm-x86/pgtable_32.h: #define VMALLOC_OFFSET (8 * 1024 * 1024) #define VMALLOC_START (((unsigned long)high_memory + 2 * VMALLOC_OFFSET - 1) \ & ~(VMALLOC_OFFSET - 1)) There's several related point: 1. MAXMEM : (-__PAGE_OFFSET - __VMALLOC_RESERVE). The space after VMALLOC_END is included as well, I set it to (VMALLOC_END - PAGE_OFFSET - __VMALLOC_RESERVE) 2. VMALLOC_OFFSET is not considered in __VMALLOC_RESERVE fixed by adding VMALLOC_OFFSET to it. 3. VMALLOC_START : (((unsigned long)high_memory + 2 * VMALLOC_OFFSET - 1) & ~(VMALLOC_OFFSET - 1)) So it's not always 8M, bigger than 8M possible. I set it to ((unsigned long)high_memory + VMALLOC_OFFSET) 4. the VMALLOC_RESERVE is an unused macro, so remove it here.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Fix warning from pmd_bad() at bootup on a HIGHMEM64G HIGHPTE x86_32. That came from 9fc34113f6880b215cbea4e7017fc818700384c2 x86: debug pmd_bad(); but we understand now that the typecasting was wrong for PAE in the previous version: pagetable pages above 4GB looked bad and stopped Arjan from booting. And revert that cded932b75ab0a5f9181ee3da34a0a488d1a14fd x86: fix pmd_bad and pud_bad to support huge pages. It was the wrong way round: we shouldn't weaken every pmd_bad and pud_bad check to let huge pages slip through - in part they check that we _don't_ have a huge page where it's not expected. Put the x86 pmd_bad() and pud_bad() definitions back to what they have long been: they can be improved (x86_32 should use PTE_MASK, to stop PAE thinking junk in the upper word is good; and x86_64 should follow x86_32's stricter comparison, to stop thinking any subset of required bits is good); but that should be a later patch. Fix Hans' good observation that follow_page() will never find pmd_huge() because that would have already failed the pmd_bad test: test pmd_huge in between the pmd_none and pmd_bad tests. Tighten x86's pmd_huge() check? No, once it's a hugepage entry, it can get quite far from a good pmd: for example, PROT_NONE leaves it with only ACCESSED of the KERN_PGTABLE bits. However... though follow_page() contains this and another test for huge pages, so it's nice to keep it working on them, where does it actually get called on a huge page? get_user_pages() checks is_vm_hugetlb_page(vma) to to call alternative hugetlb processing, as does unmap_vmas() and others.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | quicklists cause a serious memory leak on 32-bit x86, as documented at: http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=9991 the reason is that the quicklist pool is a special-purpose cache that grows out of proportion. It is not accounted for anywhere and users have no way to even realize that it's the quicklists that are causing RAM usage spikes. It was supposed to be a relatively small pool, but as demonstrated by KOSAKI Motohiro, they can grow as large as: Quicklists: 1194304 kB given how much trouble this code has caused historically, and given that Andrew objected to its introduction on x86 (years ago), the best option at this point is to remove them.

* CONFIG_HIGHPTE vs. sub-page page tables.Martin Schwidefsky2008-02-081-1/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Background: I've implemented 1K/2K page tables for s390. These sub-page page tables are required to properly support the s390 virtualization instruction with KVM. The SIE instruction requires that the page tables have 256 page table entries (pte) followed by 256 page status table entries (pgste). The pgstes are only required if the process is using the SIE instruction. The pgstes are updated by the hardware and by the hypervisor for a number of reasons, one of them is dirty and reference bit tracking. To avoid wasting memory the standard pte table allocation should return 1K/2K (31/64 bit) and 2K/4K if the process is using SIE. Problem: Page size on s390 is 4K, page table size is 1K or 2K. That means the s390 version for pte_alloc_one cannot return a pointer to a struct page. Trouble is that with the CONFIG_HIGHPTE feature on x86 pte_alloc_one cannot return a pointer to a pte either, since that would require more than 32 bit for the return value of pte_alloc_one (and the pte * would not be accessible since its not kmapped). Solution: The only solution I found to this dilemma is a new typedef: a pgtable_t. For s390 pgtable_t will be a (pte *) - to be introduced with a later patch. For everybody else it will be a (struct page *). The additional problem with the initialization of the ptl lock and the NR_PAGETABLE accounting is solved with a constructor pgtable_page_ctor and a destructor pgtable_page_dtor. The page table allocation and free functions need to call these two whenever a page table page is allocated or freed. pmd_populate will get a pgtable_t instead of a struct page pointer. To get the pgtable_t back from a pmd entry that has been installed with pmd_populate a new function pmd_pgtable is added. It replaces the pmd_page call in free_pte_range and apply_to_pte_range.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | In x86 PAE mode, stop treating pmds as a special case. Previously they were always allocated and freed with the pgd. The modifies the code to be the same as 64-bit mode, where they are allocated on demand. This is a step on the way to unifying 32/64-bit pagetable allocation as much as possible. There is a complicating wart, however. When you install a new reference to a pmd in the pgd, the processor isn't guaranteed to see it unless you reload cr3. Since reloading cr3 also has the side-effect of flushing the tlb, this is an expense that we want to avoid whereever possible. This patch simply avoids reloading cr3 unless the update is to the current pagetable. Later patches will optimise this further.

* x86: preallocate pmds at pgd creation timeJeremy Fitzhardinge2008-01-301-0/+70
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | In PAE mode, an update to the pgd requires a cr3 reload to make sure the processor notices the changes. Since this also has the side-effect of flushing the tlb, its an expensive operation which we want to avoid where possible. This patch mitigates the cost of installing the initial set of pmds on process creation by preallocating them when the pgd is allocated. This avoids up to three tlb flushes during exec, as it creates the new process address space while the pagetable is in active use. The pmds will be freed as part of the normal pagetable teardown in free_pgtables, which is called in munmap and process exit. However, free_pgtables will only free parts of the pagetable which actually contain mappings, so stray pmds may still be attached to the pgd at pgd_free time. We must mop them up to prevent a memory leak. Signed-off-by: Jeremy Fitzhardinge <jeremy@xensource.com> Cc: Andi Kleen <ak@suse.de> Cc: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org> Cc: H.

Occasionally tickle the watchdog when doing the dump. Signed-off-by: Prarit Bhargava <prarit@redhat.com> Cc: Andi Kleen <ak@suse.de> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org>
* i386: avoid temporarily inconsistent pte-sJan Beulich2007-10-171-2/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | One more of these issues (which were considered fixed a few releases back): other than on x86-64, i386 allows set_fixmap() to replace already present mappings. Consequently, on PAE, care must be taken to not update the high half of a pte while the low half is still holding the old value.

* Slab API: remove useless ctor parameter and reorder parametersChristoph Lameter2007-10-171-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Slab constructors currently have a flags parameter that is never used. And the order of the arguments is opposite to other slab functions. The object pointer is placed before the kmem_cache pointer.
