It is generally agreed that it would be beneficial for u64 to be an
unsigned long long on all architectures. ia64 (in common with several
other 64-bit architectures) currently uses unsigned long. Migrating
piecemeal is too painful; this giant patch fixes all compilation warnings
and errors that come as a result of switching to use int-ll64.h.
Note that userspace will still see __u64 defined as unsigned long. This
is important as it affects C++ name mangling.
[Updated by Tony Luck to change efi.h:efi_freemem_callback_t to use
u64 for start/end rather than unsigned long]

It's theoretically possible that there are exception table entries
which point into the (freed) init text of modules. These could cause
future problems if other modules get loaded into that memory and cause
an exception as we'd see the wrong fixup. The only case I know of is
kvm-intel.ko (when CONFIG_CC_OPTIMIZE_FOR_SIZE=n).
Amerigo fixed this long-standing FIXME in the x86 version, but this
patch is more general.
This implements trim_init_extable(); most archs are simple since they
use the standard lib/extable.c sort code. Alpha and IA64 use relative
addresses in their fixups, so thier trimming is a slight variation.
Sparc32 is unique; it doesn't seem to define ARCH_HAS_SORT_EXTABLE,
yet it defines its own sort_extable() which overrides the one in lib.
It doesn't sort, so we have to mark deleted entries instead of
actually trimming them.

What's happening is that the assertion in mm/page_alloc.c:move_freepages()
is triggering:
BUG_ON(page_zone(start_page) != page_zone(end_page));
Once I knew this is what was happening, I added some annotations:
if (unlikely(page_zone(start_page) != page_zone(end_page))) {
printk(KERN_ERR "move_freepages: Bogus zones: "
"start_page[%p] end_page[%p] zone[%p]\n",
start_page, end_page, zone);
printk(KERN_ERR "move_freepages: "
"start_zone[%p] end_zone[%p]\n",
page_zone(start_page), page_zone(end_page));
printk(KERN_ERR "move_freepages: "
"start_pfn[0x%lx] end_pfn[0x%lx]\n",
page_to_pfn(start_page), page_to_pfn(end_page));
printk(KERN_ERR "move_freepages: "
"start_nid[%d] end_nid[%d]\n",
page_to_nid(start_page), page_to_nid(end_page));
...
And here's what I got:
move_freepages: Bogus zones: start_page[2207d0000] end_page[2207dffc0] zone[fffff8103effcb00]
move_freepages: start_zone[fffff8103effcb00] end_zone[fffff8003fffeb00]
move_freepages: start_pfn[0x81f600] end_pfn[0x81f7ff]
move_freepages: start_nid[1] end_nid[0]
My memory layout on this box is:
[ 0.000000] Zone PFN ranges:
[ 0.000000] Normal 0x00000000 -> 0x0081ff5d
[ 0.000000] Movable zone start PFN for each node
[ 0.000000] early_node_map[8] active PFN ranges
[ 0.000000] 0: 0x00000000 -> 0x00020000
[ 0.000000] 1: 0x00800000 -> 0x0081f7ff
[ 0.000000] 1: 0x0081f800 -> 0x0081fe50
[ 0.000000] 1: 0x0081fed1 -> 0x0081fed8
[ 0.000000] 1: 0x0081feda -> 0x0081fedb
[ 0.000000] 1: 0x0081fedd -> 0x0081fee5
[ 0.000000] 1: 0x0081fee7 -> 0x0081ff51
[ 0.000000] 1: 0x0081ff59 -> 0x0081ff5d
So it's a block move in that 0x81f600-->0x81f7ff region which triggers
the problem.
This patch:
Declaration of early_pfn_to_nid() is scattered over per-arch include
files, and it seems it's complicated to know when the declaration is used.
I think it makes fix-for-memmap-init not easy.
This patch moves all declaration to include/linux/mm.h
After this,
if !CONFIG_NODES_POPULATES_NODE_MAP && !CONFIG_HAVE_ARCH_EARLY_PFN_TO_NID
-> Use static definition in include/linux/mm.h
else if !CONFIG_HAVE_ARCH_EARLY_PFN_TO_NID
-> Use generic definition in mm/page_alloc.c
else
-> per-arch back end function will be called.

Show node to memory section relationship with symlinks in sysfs
Add /sys/devices/system/node/nodeX/memoryY symlinks for all
the memory sections located on nodeX. For example:
/sys/devices/system/node/node1/memory135 -> ../../memory/memory135
indicates that memory section 135 resides on node1.
Also revises documentation to cover this change as well as updating
Documentation/ABI/testing/sysfs-devices-memory to include descriptions
of memory hotremove files 'phys_device', 'phys_index', and 'state'
that were previously not described there.
In addition to it always being a good policy to provide users with
the maximum possible amount of physical location information for
resources that can be hot-added and/or hot-removed, the following
are some (but likely not all) of the user benefits provided by
this change.
Immediate:
- Provides information needed to determine the specific node
on which a defective DIMM is located. This will reduce system
downtime when the node or defective DIMM is swapped out.
- Prevents unintended onlining of a memory section that was
previously offlined due to a defective DIMM. This could happen
during node hot-add when the user or node hot-add assist script
onlines _all_ offlined sections due to user or script inability
to identify the specific memory sections located on the hot-added
node. The consequences of reintroducing the defective memory
could be ugly.
- Provides information needed to vary the amount and distribution
of memory on specific nodes for testing or debugging purposes.
Future:
- Will provide information needed to identify the memory
sections that need to be offlined prior to physical removal
of a specific node.
Symlink creation during boot was tested on 2-node x86_64, 2-node
ppc64, and 2-node ia64 systems. Symlink creation during physical
memory hot-add tested on a 2-node x86_64 system.

makedumpfile[1] cannot run on ia64 discontigmem kernel, because the member
node_mem_map of struct pgdat_list has invalid value. This patch fixes it.
node_start_pfn shows the start pfn of each node, and node_mem_map should
point 'struct page' of each node's node_start_pfn. On my machine, node0's
node_start_pfn shows 0x400 and its node_mem_map points 0xa0007fffbf000000.
This address is the same as vmem_map, so the node_mem_map points 'struct
page' of pfn 0, even if its node_start_pfn shows 0x400.
The cause is due to the round down of min_pfn in count_node_pages() and
node0's node_mem_map points 'struct page' of inactive pfn (0x0). This
patch fixes it.

ia64 handles per-cpu variables a litle differently from other architectures
in that it maps the physical memory allocated for each cpu at a constant
virtual address (0xffffffffffff0000). This mapping is not enabled until
the architecture specific cpu_init() function is run, which causes problems
since some generic code is run before this point. In particular when
CONFIG_PRINTK_TIME is enabled, the boot cpu will trap on the access to
per-cpu memory at the first printk() call so the boot will fail without
the kernel printing anything to the console.
Fix this by allocating percpu memory for cpu0 in the kernel data section
and doing all initialization to enable percpu access in head.S before
calling any generic code.
Other cpus must take care not to access per-cpu variables too early, but
their code path from start_secondary() to cpu_init() is all in arch/ia64

This series of patches adds a driver for the SGI UV GRU. The driver is
still in development but it currently compiles for both x86_64 & IA64.
All simple regression tests pass on IA64. Although features remain to be
added, I'd like to start the process of getting the driver into the
kernel. Additional kernel drivers will depend on services provide by the
GRU driver.
The GRU is a hardware resource located in the system chipset. The GRU
contains memory that is mmaped into the user address space. This memory
is used to communicate with the GRU to perform functions such as
load/store, scatter/gather, bcopy, AMOs, etc. The GRU is directly
accessed by user instructions using user virtual addresses. GRU
instructions (ex., bcopy) use user virtual addresses for operands.
The GRU contains a large TLB that is functionally very similar to
processor TLBs. Because the external contains a TLB with user virtual
address, it requires callouts from the core VM system when certain types
of changes are made to the process page tables. There are several MMUOPS
patches currently being discussed but none has been accepted into the
kernel. The GRU driver is built using version V18 from Andrea Arcangeli.
This patch:
Contains the definitions of the hardware GRU data structures that are used
by the driver to manage the GRU.

The goal of this patchset is to support multiple hugetlb page sizes. This
is achieved by introducing a new struct hstate structure, which
encapsulates the important hugetlb state and constants (eg. huge page
size, number of huge pages currently allocated, etc).
The hstate structure is then passed around the code which requires these
fields, they will do the right thing regardless of the exact hstate they
are operating on.
This patch adds the hstate structure, with a single global instance of it
(default_hstate), and does the basic work of converting hugetlb to use the
hstate.
Future patches will add more hstate structures to allow for different
hugetlbfs mounts to have different page sizes.

The patch aims to fix a performance issue for the syscall
personality(PER_LINUX32).
On IA-64 box, the syscall personality (PER_LINUX32) has poor performance
because it failed to find the Linux/x86 execution domain. Then it tried
to load the kernel module however it failed always and it used the default
execution domain PER_LINUX instead. Requesting kernel modules is very
expensive. It caused the performance issue. (see the function
lookup_exec_domain in kernel/exec_domain.c).
To resolve the issue, execution domain Linux/x86 is always registered in
initialization time for IA-64 architecture.

All architectures use an effectively identical definition of online_page(), so
just make it common code. x86-64, ia64, powerpc and sh are actually
identical; x86-32 is slightly different.
x86-32's differences arise because it puts its hotplug pages in the highmem
zone. We can handle this in the generic code by inspecting the page to see if
its in highmem, and update the totalhigh_pages count appropriately. This
leaves init_32.c:free_new_highpage with a single caller, so I folded it into
add_one_highpage_init.
I also removed an incorrect comment referring to the NUMA case; any NUMA
details have already been dealt with by the time online_page() is called.

There is a NUMA memory configuration issue in 2.6.24:
A 2-node machine of ours has got the following memory layout:
Node 0: 0 - 2 Gbytes
Node 0: 4 - 8 Gbytes
Node 1: 8 - 16 Gbytes
Node 0: 16 - 18 Gbytes
"efi_memmap_init()" merges the three last ranges into one.
"register_active_ranges()" is called as follows:
efi_memmap_walk(register_active_ranges, NULL);
i.e. once for the 4 - 18 Gbytes range. It picks up the node
number from the start address, and registers all the memory for
the node #0.
"register_active_ranges()" should be called as follows to
make sure there is no merged address range at its entry:
efi_memmap_walk(filter_memory, register_active_ranges);
"filter_memory()" is similar to "filter_rsvd_memory()",
but the reserved memory ranges are not filtered out.

The patch defines kernel parameter "nptcg=". The parameter overrides max number
of concurrent global TLB purges which is reported from either PAL_VM_SUMMARY or
SAL PALO.

According to SDM2.2, Itanium supports multiple outstanding ptc.g instructions.
But current kernel function ia64_global_tlb_purge() uses a spinlock to serialize
ptc.g instructions issued by multiple processors. This serialization might have
scalability issue on a big SMP machine where many processors could purge TLB
in parallel.
The patch fixes this problem by issuing multiple ptc.g instructions in
ia64_global_tlb_purge(). It also adds support for the "PALO" table to get
a platform view of the max number of outstanding ptc.g instructions (which
may be different from the processor view found from PAL_VM_SUMMARY).
PALO specification can be found at: http://www.dig64.org/home/DIG64_PALO_R1_0.pdf

This patchset adds a flags variable to reserve_bootmem() and uses the
BOOTMEM_EXCLUSIVE flag in crashkernel reservation code to detect collisions
between crashkernel area and already used memory.
This patch:
Change the reserve_bootmem() function to accept a new flag BOOTMEM_EXCLUSIVE.
If that flag is set, the function returns with -EBUSY if the memory already
has been reserved in the past. This is to avoid conflicts.
Because that code runs before SMP initialisation, there's no race condition
inside reserve_bootmem_core().

Improve performance of memory allocations on ia64 by avoiding a global TLB
purge to purge a single page from the file cache. This happens whenever we
evict a page from the buffer cache to make room for some other allocation.
Test case: Run 'find /usr -type f | xargs cat > /dev/null' in the
background to fill the buffer cache, then run something that uses memory,
e.g. 'gmake -j50 install'. Instrumentation showed that the number of
global TLB purges went from a few millions down to about 170 over a 12
hours run of the above.
The performance impact is particularly noticeable under virtualization,
because a virtual TLB is generally both larger and slower to purge than
a physical one.

There is a section mismatch when building CONFIG_FLATMEM=y kernels
that also have CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU=y
WARNING: vmlinux.o(.text+0x5a902): Section mismatch: reference to \
.init.text:__alloc_bootmem (between 'per_cpu_init' and 'count_pages')
The issue occurs because per_cpu_init() in mm/contig.c is
marked __cpuinit (which is #define'd to nothing on a hot
plug cpu configuration) call __alloc_bootmem() (which is
an __init function). The usage is actually safe because
the __alloc_bootmem() is inside an "if (first_time)" test
so that the call is only made while it is still legal to
do so.
But the warning is irritating. Move the allocation to
find_memory().

is_init() is an ambiguous name for the pid==1 check. Split it into
is_global_init() and is_container_init().
A cgroup init has it's tsk->pid == 1.
A global init also has it's tsk->pid == 1 and it's active pid namespace
is the init_pid_ns. But rather than check the active pid namespace,
compare the task structure with 'init_pid_ns.child_reaper', which is
initialized during boot to the /sbin/init process and never changes.
Changelog:
2.6.22-rc4-mm2-pidns1:
- Use 'init_pid_ns.child_reaper' to determine if a given task is the
global init (/sbin/init) process. This would improve performance
and remove dependence on the task_pid().
2.6.21-mm2-pidns2:
- [Sukadev Bhattiprolu] Changed is_container_init() calls in {powerpc,
ppc,avr32}/traps.c for the _exception() call to is_global_init().
This way, we kill only the cgroup if the cgroup's init has a
bug rather than force a kernel panic.

This patch uses vm_get_page_prot() to setup vma->vm_page_prot.
Though inside vm_get_page_prot() the protection flags is AND with
(VM_READ|VM_WRITE|VM_EXEC|VM_SHARED), it does not hurt correct code.

This patch set frees the restriction that makedumpfile users should install a
vmlinux file (including the debugging information) into each system.
makedumpfile command is the dump filtering feature for kdump. It creates a
small dumpfile by filtering unnecessary pages for the analysis. To
distinguish unnecessary pages, it needs a vmlinux file including the debugging
information. These days, the debugging package becomes a huge file, and it is
hard to install it into each system.
To solve the problem, kdump developers discussed it at lkml and kexec-ml. As
the result, we reached the conclusion that necessary information for dump
filtering (called "vmcoreinfo") should be embedded into the first kernel file
and it should be accessed through /proc/vmcore during the second kernel.
