2009-02-18mm: fix memmap init for handling memory holeKAMEZAWA Hiroyuki
Now, early_pfn_in_nid(PFN, NID) may returns false if PFN is a hole. and memmap initialization was not done. This was a trouble for sparc boot.

2009-02-18mm: clean up for early_pfn_to_nid()KAMEZAWA Hiroyuki
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.

2009-01-06mm: show node to memory section relationship with symlinks in sysfsGary Hade
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.

2008-11-04[IA64] fix the difference between node_mem_map and node_start_pfnKen'ichi Ohmichi
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).

2008-08-12[IA64] Ensure cpu0 can access per-cpu variables in early boot codeTony Luck
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 Signed-off-by: Tony Luck <tony.luck@intel.com>
2008-07-30GRU Driver: hardware data structuresJack Steiner
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.

2008-07-24hugetlb: modular state for hugetlb page sizeAndi Kleen
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).

2008-04-28hotplug-memory: make online_page() commonJeremy Fitzhardinge
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.

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).

2008-02-07Introduce flags for reserve_bootmem()Bernhard Walle
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().

2007-12-18[IA64] Avoid unnecessary TLB flushes when allocating memoryde Dinechin, Christophe (Integrity VM)
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.

2007-11-06[IA64] Fix section mismatch in contig.c version of per_cpu_init()Tony Luck
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(). Signed-off-by: Tony Luck <tony.luck@intel.com>

2007-10-19pid namespaces: define is_global_init() and is_container_init()Serge E. Hallyn
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.

2007-10-17Add vmcoreinfoKen'ichi Ohmichi
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. (http://www.uwsg.iu.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/0707.0/1806.html) Dan Aloni created the patch set for the above implementation. (http://www.uwsg.iu.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/0707.1/1053.html) And I updated it for multi architectures and memory models.

Now, arch dependent code around CONFIG_MEMORY_HOTREMOVE is a mess. This patch cleans up them. This is against 2.6.23-rc6-mm1. - fix compile failure on ia64/ CONFIG_MEMORY_HOTPLUG && !CONFIG_MEMORY_HOTREMOVE case. - For !CONFIG_MEMORY_HOTREMOVE, add generic no-op remove_memory(), which returns -EINVAL. - removed remove_pages() only used in powerpc. - removed no-op remove_memory() in i386, sh, sparc64, x86_64. - only powerpc returns -ENOSYS at memory hot remove(no-op). changes it to return -EINVAL. Note: Currently, only ia64 supports CONFIG_MEMORY_HOTREMOVE. I welcome other archs if there are requirements and testers.

2007-10-16Do not depend on MAX_ORDER when grouping pages by mobilityMel Gorman
Currently mobility grouping works at the MAX_ORDER_NR_PAGES level. This makes sense for the majority of users where this is also the huge page size. However, on platforms like ia64 where the huge page size is runtime configurable it is desirable to group at a lower order. On x86_64 and occasionally on x86, the hugepage size may not always be MAX_ORDER_NR_PAGES. This patch groups pages together based on the value of HUGETLB_PAGE_ORDER. It uses a compile-time constant if possible and a variable where the huge page size is runtime configurable. It is assumed that grouping should be done at the lowest sensible order and that the user would not want to override this. If this is not true, page_block order could be forced to a variable initialised via a boot-time kernel parameter. One potential issue with this patch is that IA64 now parses hugepagesz with early_param() instead of __setup(). __setup() is called after the memory allocator has been initialised and the pageblock bitmaps already setup. In tests on one IA64 there did not seem to be any problem with using early_param() and in fact may be more correct as it guarantees the parameter is handled before the parsing of hugepages=.
