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. Credit to Benjamin Herrenschmidt for identifying the bug and rolling the first fix. Additional credit to Johannes Berg and Andreas Schwab for reporting the problem and testing on powerpc.

2006-10-01[PATCH] paravirt: update pte hookZachary Amsden
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.

2006-10-01[PATCH] paravirt: kpte flushZachary Amsden
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.

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...

2006-09-26[PATCH] reduce MAX_NR_ZONES: remove two strange uses of MAX_NR_ZONESChristoph Lameter
I keep seeing zones on various platforms that are never used and wonder why we compile support for them into the kernel. 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.

2006-09-26[PATCH] convert i386 NUMA KVA space to bootmemkeith mannthey
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.

2006-09-26[PATCH] i386: Allow a kernel not to be in ring 0Rusty Russell
We allow for the fact that the guest kernel may not run in ring 0. This requires some abstraction in a few places when setting %cs or checking privilege level (user vs kernel). 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.

2006-09-26[PATCH] i386: Replace i386 open-coded cmdline parsing withRusty Russell
This patch replaces the open-coded early commandline parsing throughout the i386 boot code with the generic mechanism (already used by ppc, powerpc, ia64 and s390). 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.

2006-06-30[PATCH] zoned vm counters: convert nr_mapped to per zone counterChristoph Lameter
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).

2006-06-23[PATCH] i386: let usermode execute the "enter" instructionChuck Ebbert
The i386 page fault handler does not allow enough slack when checking for userspace access below the current stack pointer. This prevents use of the enter instruction by user code. Fix this by allowing enough slack for "enter $65535,$31" to execute.

2006-03-27[PATCH] unify PFN_* macrosDave Hansen
Just about every architecture defines some macros to do operations on pfns. They're all virtually identical. This patch consolidates all of them. One minor glitch is that at least i386 uses them in a very skeletal header file. To keep away from #include dependency hell, I stuck the new definitions in a new, isolated header. Of all of the implementations, sh64 is the only one that varied by a bit. It used some masks to ensure that any sign-extension got ripped away before the arithmetic is done. This has been posted to that sh64 maintainers and the development list. Compiles on x86, x86_64, ia64 and ppc64.

2006-03-23[PATCH] pause_on_oops command line optionAndrew Morton
Attempt to fix the problem wherein people's oops reports scroll off the screen due to repeated oopsing or to oopses on other CPUs. If this happens the user can reboot with the `pause_on_oops=<seconds>' option. It will allow the first oopsing CPU to print an oops record just a single time. Second oopsing attempts, or oopses on other CPUs will cause those CPUs to enter a tight loop until the specified number of seconds have elapsed. The patch implements the infrastructure generically in the expectation that architectures other than x86 will find it useful.

2006-03-23[PATCH] i386: actively synchronize vmalloc area when registering certain ↵Jan Beulich
callbacks Registering a callback handler through register_die_notifier() is obviously primarily intended for use by modules. However, the way these currently get called it is basically impossible for them to actually be used by modules, as there is, on non-PAE configurationes, a good chance (the larger the module, the better) for the system to crash as a result. This is because the callback gets invoked (a) in the page fault path before the top level page table propagation gets carried out (hence a fault to propagate the top level page table entry/entries mapping to module's code/data would nest infinitly) and (b) in the NMI path, where nested faults must absolutely not happen, since otherwise the IRET from the nested fault re-enables NMIs, potentially resulting in nested NMI occurences. Besides the modular aspect, similar problems would even arise for in- kernel consumers of the API if they touched ioremap()ed or vmalloc()ed memory inside their handlers.

2006-03-23[PATCH] x86: SMP alternativesGerd Hoffmann
Implement SMP alternatives, i.e. switching at runtime between different code versions for UP and SMP. The code can patch both SMP->UP and UP->SMP. The UP->SMP case is useful for CPU hotplug. With CONFIG_CPU_HOTPLUG enabled the code switches to UP at boot time and when the number of CPUs goes down to 1, and switches to SMP when the number of CPUs goes up to 2. Without CONFIG_CPU_HOTPLUG or on non-SMP-capable systems the code is patched once at boot time (if needed) and the tables are released afterwards. The changes in detail: * The current alternatives bits are moved to a separate file, the SMP alternatives code is added there. * The patch adds some new elf sections to the kernel: .smp_altinstructions like .altinstructions, also contains a list of alt_instr structs. .smp_altinstr_replacement like .altinstr_replacement, but also has some space to save original instruction before replaving it. .smp_locks list of pointers to lock prefixes which can be nop'ed out on UP. The first two are used to replace more complex instruction sequences such as spinlocks and semaphores. It would be possible to deal with the lock prefixes with that as well, but by handling them as special case the table sizes become much smaller. * The sections are page-aligned and padded up to page size, so they can be free if they are not needed. * Splitted the code to release init pages to a separate function and use it to release the elf sections if they are unused.

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.
