* [PATCH] MM: page allocation hooks for VMI backendZachary Amsden2007-02-133-4/+26
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The VMI backend uses explicit page type notification to track shadow page tables. The allocation of page table roots is especially tricky. We need to clone the root for non-PAE mode while it is protected under the pgd lock to correctly copy the shadow. We don't need to allocate pgds in PAE mode, (PDPs in Intel terminology) as they only have 4 entries, and are cached entirely by the processor, which makes shadowing them rather simple. For base page table level allocation, pmd_populate provides the exact hook point we need. Also, we need to allocate pages when splitting a large page, and we must release pages before returning the page to any free pool. Despite being required with these slightly odd semantics for VMI, Xen also uses these hooks to determine the exact moment when page tables are created or released.

Most amusingly, flush_tlb is redefined on SMP, so I can't call the paravirt op flush_tlb. Instead, I chose to indicate the actual flush type, kernel (global) vs. user (non-global). Global in this sense means using the global bit in the page table entry, which makes TLB entries persistent across CR3 reloads, not global as in the SMP sense of invoking remote shootdowns, so the term is confusingly overloaded.

* | [PATCH] shared page table for hugetlb pageChen, Kenneth W2006-12-071-1/+111
|/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.

* [PATCH] mm: use symbolic names instead of indices for zone initialisationMel Gorman2006-10-111-5/+6
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Arch-independent zone-sizing is using indices instead of symbolic names to offset within an array related to zones (max_zone_pfns). The unintended impact is that ZONE_DMA and ZONE_NORMAL is initialised on powerpc instead of ZONE_DMA and ZONE_HIGHMEM when CONFIG_HIGHMEM is set. As a result, the the machine fails to boot but will boot with CONFIG_HIGHMEM turned off. The following patch properly initialises the max_zone_pfns[] array and uses symbolic names instead of indices in each architecture using arch-independent zone-sizing. Two users have successfully booted their powerpcs with it (one an ibook G4). It has also been boot tested on x86, x86_64, ppc64 and ia64. Please merge for 2.6.19-rc2.

* [PATCH] paravirt: update pte hookZachary Amsden2006-10-011-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Add a pte_update_hook which notifies about pte changes that have been made without using the set_pte / clear_pte interfaces. This allows shadow mode hypervisors which do not trap on page table access to maintain synchronized shadows. It also turns out, there was one pte update in PAE mode that wasn't using any accessor interface at all for setting NX protection. Considering it is PAE specific, and the accessor is i386 specific, I didn't want to add a generic encapsulation of this behavior yet.

* [PATCH] paravirt: kpte flushZachary Amsden2006-10-011-11/+7
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Create a new PTE function which combines clearing a kernel PTE with the subsequent flush. This allows the two to be easily combined into a single hypercall or paravirt-op. More subtly, reverse the order of the flush for kmap_atomic. Instead of flushing on establishing a mapping, flush on clearing a mapping. This eliminates the possibility of leaving stale kmap entries which may still have valid TLB mappings. This is required for direct mode hypervisors, which need to reprotect all mappings of a given page when changing the page type from a normal page to a protected page (such as a page table or descriptor table page). But it also provides some nicer semantics for real hardware, by providing extra debug-proofing against using stale mappings, as well as ensuring that no stale mappings exist when changing the cacheability attributes of a page, which could lead to cache conflicts when two different types of mappings exist for the same page.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This is an updated version of Eric Biederman's is_init() patch. (http://lkml.org/lkml/2006/2/6/280). It applies cleanly to 2.6.18-rc3 and replaces a few more instances of ->pid == 1 with is_init(). Further, is_init() checks pid and thus removes dependency on Eric's other patches for now. Eric's original description: There are a lot of places in the kernel where we test for init because we give it special properties. Most significantly init must not die. This results in code all over the kernel test ->pid == 1. Introduce is_init to capture this case. With multiple pid spaces for all of the cases affected we are looking for only the first process on the system, not some other process that has pid == 1. Signed-off-by: Eric W.

* [PATCH] make PROT_WRITE imply PROT_READJason Baron2006-09-291-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Make PROT_WRITE imply PROT_READ for a number of architectures which don't support write only in hardware. While looking at this, I noticed that some architectures which do not support write only mappings already take the exact same approach. For example, in arch/alpha/mm/fault.c: " if (cause < 0) { if (!(vma->vm_flags & VM_EXEC)) goto bad_area; } else if (!cause) { /* Allow reads even for write-only mappings */ if (!(vma->vm_flags & (VM_READ | VM_WRITE))) goto bad_area; } else { if (!(vma->vm_flags & VM_WRITE)) goto bad_area; } " Thus, this patch brings other architectures which do not support write only mappings in-line and consistent with the rest. I've verified the patch on ia64, x86_64 and x86. Additional discussion: Several architectures, including x86, can not support write-only mappings. The pte for x86 reserves a single bit for protection and its two states are read only or read/write. Thus, write only is not supported in h/w. Currently, if i 'mmap' a page write-only, the first read attempt on that page creates a page fault and will SEGV. That check is enforced in arch/blah/mm/fault.c. However, if i first write that page it will fault in and the pte will be set to read/write. Thus, any subsequent reads to the page will succeed. It is this inconsistency in behavior that this patch is attempting to address. Furthermore, if the page is swapped out, and then brought back the first read will also cause a SEGV. Thus, any arbitrary read on a page can potentially result in a SEGV. According to the SuSv3 spec, "if the application requests only PROT_WRITE, the implementation may also allow read access." Also as mentioned, some archtectures, such as alpha, shown above already take the approach that i am suggesting. The counter-argument to this raised by Arjan, is that the kernel is enforcing the write only mapping the best it can given the h/w limitations. This is true, however Alan Cox, and myself would argue that the inconsitency in behavior, that is applications can sometimes work/sometimes fails is highly undesireable. If you read through the thread, i think people, came to an agreement on the last patch i posted, as nobody has objected to it...

This is Chris' [RFC PATCH 15/33] move segment checks to subarch, except rather than using #define USER_MODE_MASK which depends on a config option, we use Zach's more flexible approach of assuming ring 3 == userspace. I also used "get_kernel_rpl()" over "get_kernel_cs()" because I think it reads better in the code... 1) Remove the hardcoded 3 and introduce #define SEGMENT_RPL_MASK 3 2) Add a get_kernel_rpl() macro, and don't assume it's zero. And: Clean up of patch for letting kernel run other than ring 0: a. Add some comments about the SEGMENT_IS_*_CODE() macros. b. Add a USER_RPL macro. (Code was comparing a value to a mask in some places and to the magic number 3 in other places.) c. Add macros for table indicator field and use them. d.

The code was inconsistent with whether it deletes the option from the cmdline or not, meaning some of these will get passed through the environment into init. This transformation is mainly mechanical, but there are some notable parts: 1) Grammar: s/linux never set's it up/linux never sets it up/ 2) Remove hacked-in earlyprintk= option scanning. When someone actually implements CONFIG_EARLY_PRINTK, then they can use early_param(). [AK: actually it is implemented, but I'm adding the early_param it in the next x86-64 patch] 3) Move declaration of generic_apic_probe() from setup.c into asm/apic.h 4) Various parameters now moved into their appropriate files (thanks Andi). 5) All parse functions which examine arg need to check for NULL, except one where it has subtle humor value.

* | [PATCH] reduce MAX_NR_ZONES: remove two strange uses of MAX_NR_ZONESChristoph Lameter2006-09-261-1/+1

Counters show up for HIGHMEM and DMA32 that are alway zero. This patch allows the removal of ZONE_DMA32 for non x86_64 architectures and it will get rid of ZONE_HIGHMEM for arches not using highmem (like 64 bit architectures). If an arch does not define CONFIG_HIGHMEM then ZONE_HIGHMEM will not be defined. Similarly if an arch does not define CONFIG_ZONE_DMA32 then ZONE_DMA32 will not be defined. No current architecture uses all the 4 zones (DMA,DMA32,NORMAL,HIGH) that we have now. The patchset will reduce the number of zones for all platforms. On many platforms that do not have DMA32 or HIGHMEM this will reduce the number of zones by 50%. F.e. ia64 only uses DMA and NORMAL. Large amounts of memory can be saved for larger systemss that may have a few hundred NUMA nodes. With ZONE_DMA32 and ZONE_HIGHMEM support optional MAX_NR_ZONES will be 2 for many non i386 platforms and even for i386 without CONFIG_HIGHMEM set. Tested on ia64, x86_64 and on i386 with and without highmem. The patchset consists of 11 patches that are following this message. One could go even further than this patchset and also make ZONE_DMA optional because some platforms do not need a separate DMA zone and can do DMA to all of memory. This could reduce MAX_NR_ZONES to 1. Such a patchset will hopefully follow soon. This patch: Fix strange uses of MAX_NR_ZONES Sometimes we use MAX_NR_ZONES - x to refer to a zone. Make that explicit.

* | [PATCH] convert i386 NUMA KVA space to bootmemkeith mannthey2006-09-261-8/+21
|/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Address a long standing issue of booting with an initrd on an i386 numa system. Currently (and always) the numa kva area is mapped into low memory by finding the end of low memory and moving that mark down (thus creating space for the kva). The issue with this is that Grub loads initrds into this similar space so when the kernel check the initrd it finds it outside max_low_pfn and disables it (it thinks the initrd is not mapped into usable memory) thus initrd enabled kernels can't boot i386 numa :( My solution to the problem just converts the numa kva area to use the bootmem allocator to save it's area (instead of moving the end of low memory). Using bootmem allows the kva area to be mapped into more diverse addresses (not just the end of low memory) and enables the kva area to be mapped below the initrd if present. I have tested this patch on numaq(no initrd) and summit(initrd) i386 numa based systems.

|/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | nr_mapped is important because it allows a determination of how many pages of a zone are not mapped, which would allow a more efficient means of determining when we need to reclaim memory in a zone. We take the nr_mapped field out of the page state structure and define a new per zone counter named NR_FILE_MAPPED (the anonymous pages will be split off from NR_MAPPED in the next patch). We replace the use of nr_mapped in various kernel locations. This avoids the looping over all processors in try_to_free_pages(), writeback, reclaim (swap + zone reclaim).
