2006-12-12[IA64] fix arch/ia64/mm/contig.c:235: warning: unused variable `nid'Tony Luck
This warning only shows up with CONFIG_VIRTUAL_MEM_MAP=y and CONFIG_FLATMEM=y. There is only one caller left for register_active_ranges() from the contig.c code ... so it doesn't need to pick up the node number, the node number is always zero. Signed-off-by: Tony Luck <tony.luck@intel.com>
2006-12-12[IA64] CONFIG_KEXEC/CONFIG_CRASH_DUMP permutationsHorms
Actually, on reflection I think that there is a good case for keeping the options separate. I am thinking particularly of people who want a very small crashdump kernel and thus don't want to compile in kexec. The patch below should fix things up so that all valid combinations of KEXEC, CRASH_DUMP and VMCORE compile cleanly - VMCORE depends on CRASH_DUMP which is why I said valid combinations. In a nutshell it just untangles unrelated code and switches around a few defines. Please note that it creats a new file, arch/ia64/kernel/crash_dump.c This is in keeping with the i386 implementation.

2006-12-07[PATCH] shared page table for hugetlb pageChen, Kenneth W
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.

2006-11-14[PATCH] hugetlb: prepare_hugepage_range check offset tooHugh Dickins
(David:) If hugetlbfs_file_mmap() returns a failure to do_mmap_pgoff() - for example, because the given file offset is not hugepage aligned - then do_mmap_pgoff will go to the unmap_and_free_vma backout path. But at this stage the vma hasn't been marked as hugepage, and the backout path will call unmap_region() on it. That will eventually call down to the non-hugepage version of unmap_page_range(). On ppc64, at least, that will cause serious problems if there are any existing hugepage pagetable entries in the vicinity - for example if there are any other hugepage mappings under the same PUD. unmap_page_range() will trigger a bad_pud() on the hugepage pud entries. I suspect this will also cause bad problems on ia64, though I don't have a machine to test it on. (Hugh:) prepare_hugepage_range() should check file offset alignment when it checks virtual address and length, to stop MAP_FIXED with a bad huge offset from unmapping before it fails further down. PowerPC should apply the same prepare_hugepage_range alignment checks as ia64 and all the others do. Then none of the alignment checks in hugetlbfs_file_mmap are required (nor is the check for too small a mapping); but even so, move up setting of VM_HUGETLB and add a comment to warn of what David Gibson discovered - if hugetlbfs_file_mmap fails before setting it, do_mmap_pgoff's unmap_region when unwinding from error will go the non-huge way, which may cause bad behaviour on architectures (powerpc and ia64) which segregate their huge mappings into a separate region of the address space.

2006-10-11[PATCH] mm: use symbolic names instead of indices for zone initialisationMel Gorman
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.

2006-10-01[PATCH] hot-add-mem x86_64: memory_add_physaddr_to_nid node fixupKeith Mannthey
In cases where the acpi memory-add event does not containe the pxm (node) infomation allow the driver to look up node info based on the address. The acpi_get_node call returns -1 if it can't decode the pxm info, this causes add_memory to panic. acpi_get_node would have to decode the resource from the handle (a lenghty proposition). This seems to be the cleanist point to interject the hook.

2006-09-29[PATCH] pidspace: is_init()Sukadev Bhattiprolu
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.

2006-09-29[PATCH] make PROT_WRITE imply PROT_READJason Baron
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...

2006-07-04[PATCH] Fix copying of pgdat array on each node for ia64 memory hotplugYasunori Goto
I found a bug in memory hot-add code for ia64. IA64's code has copies of pgdat's array on each node to reduce memory access over crossing node. This array is used by NODE_DATA() macro. When new node is hot-added, this pgdat's array should be updated and copied on new node too. However, I used for_each_online_node() in scatter_node_data() to copy it. This meant its array is not copied on new node. Because initialization of structures for new node was halfway, so online_node_map couldn't be set at this time. To copy arrays on new node, I changed it to check value of pgdat_list[] which is source array of copies. I tested this patch with my Memory Hotadd emulation on Tiger4. This patch is for 2.6.17-git20.

At v2 of node_add, this function used stop_machine_run() to update them. (I wished that they were copied safety as much as possible.) But, in this patch, this arrays are just copied simply, and set node_online_map bit after completion of pgdat initialization. So, kernel must touch NODE_DATA() macro after checking node_online_map(). (Current code has already done it.) This is more simple way for just hot-add.....

2006-05-08[IA64] rework memory attribute aliasingBjorn Helgaas
This closes a couple holes in our attribute aliasing avoidance scheme: - The current kernel fails mmaps of some /dev/mem MMIO regions because they don't appear in the EFI memory map. This keeps X from working on the Intel Tiger box. - The current kernel allows UC mmap of the 0-1MB region of /sys/.../legacy_mem even when the chipset doesn't support UC access. This causes an MCA when starting X on HP rx7620 and rx8620 boxes in the default configuration. There's more detail in the Documentation/ia64/aliasing.txt file this adds, but the general idea is that if a region might be covered by a granule-sized kernel identity mapping, any access via /dev/mem or mmap must use the same attribute as the identity mapping. Otherwise, we fall back to using an attribute that is supported according to the EFI memory map, or to using UC if the EFI memory map doesn't mention the region.

2006-03-27[IA64] optimize flush_tlb_range on large numa boxChen, Kenneth W
It was reported from a field customer that global spin lock ptcg_lock is giving a lot of grief on munmap performance running on a large numa machine. What appears to be a problem coming from flush_tlb_range(), which currently unconditionally calls platform_global_tlb_purge(). For some of the numa machines in existence today, this function is mapped into ia64_global_tlb_purge(), which holds ptcg_lock spin lock while executing ptc.ga instruction. Here is a patch that attempt to avoid global tlb purge whenever possible. It will use local tlb purge as much as possible. Though the conditions to use local tlb purge is pretty restrictive. One of the side effect of having flush tlb range instruction on ia64 is that kernel don't get a chance to clear out cpu_vm_mask. On ia64, this mask is sticky and it will accumulate if process bounces around. Thus diminishing the possible use of ptc.l. Thoughts?

2006-03-22[PATCH] hugepage: is_aligned_hugepage_range() cleanupDavid Gibson
Quite a long time back, prepare_hugepage_range() replaced is_aligned_hugepage_range() as the callback from mm/mmap.c to arch code to verify if an address range is suitable for a hugepage mapping. is_aligned_hugepage_range() stuck around, but only to implement prepare_hugepage_range() on archs which didn't implement their own. Most archs (everything except ia64 and powerpc) used the same implementation of is_aligned_hugepage_range(). On powerpc, which implements its own prepare_hugepage_range(), the custom version was never used. In addition, "is_aligned_hugepage_range()" was a bad name, because it suggests it returns true iff the given range is a good hugepage range, whereas in fact it returns 0-or-error (so the sense is reversed). This patch cleans up by abolishing is_aligned_hugepage_range(). Instead prepare_hugepage_range() is defined directly. Most archs use the default version, which simply checks the given region is aligned to the size of a hugepage. ia64 and powerpc define custom versions. The ia64 one simply checks that the range is in the correct address space region in addition to being suitably aligned. The powerpc version (just as previously) checks for suitable addresses, and if necessary performs low-level MMU frobbing to set up new areas for use by hugepages.

2006-03-22[PATCH] remove set_page_count() outside mm/Nick Piggin
set_page_count usage outside mm/ is limited to setting the refcount to 1. Remove set_page_count from outside mm/, and replace those users with init_page_count() and set_page_refcounted(). This allows more debug checking, and tighter control on how code is allowed to play around with page->_count.

2006-01-13[IA64] Hole in IA64 TLB flushing from system threadsJack Steiner
I originally thought this was an bug only in the SN code, but I think I also see a hole in the generic IA64 tlb code. (Separate patch was sent for the SN problem). It looks like there is a bug in the TLB flushing code. During context switch, kernel threads (kswapd, for example) inherit the mm of the task that was previously running on the cpu. Normally, this is ok because the previous context is still loaded into the RR registers. However, if the owner of the mm migrates to another cpu, changes it's context number, and references a page before kswapd issues a tlb_purge for that same page, the purge will be done with a stale context number (& RR registers).

2005-12-06[IA64] Limit the maximum NODEDATA_ALIGN() offsetJack Steiner
The per-node data structures are allocated with strided offsets that are a function of the node number. This prevents excessive cache-aliasing from occurring. On systems with a large number of nodes, the strided offset becomes too large. This patch restricts the maximum offset to 32MB. This is far larger than the size of any current L3 cache.

2005-11-08[IA64] fix memory less node allocationBob Picco
The original memory less node allocation attempted to use NODEDATA_ALIGN for alignment. The bootmem allocator only allows a power of two alignments. This causes a BUG_ON for some nodes. For cpu only nodes just allocate with a PERCPU_PAGE_SIZE alignment. Some older firmware reports SLIT distances of 0xff and results in bestnode not being computed. This is now treated correctly. The failed allocation check was removed because it's redundant. The bootmem allocator already makes this check. This fix has been boot tested on 4 node machine which has 4 cpu only nodes and 1 memory node. Thanks to Pete Keilty for reporting this and helping me test it.

wrap_mmu_context(), delayed_tlb_flush(), get_mmu_context() all have an extra { } block which cause one extra indentation. get_mmu_context() is particularly bad with 5 indentations to the most inner "if".
