2008-01-15x86: fix boot crash on HIGHMEM4G && SPARSEMEMIngo Molnar
Denys Fedoryshchenko reported a bootup crash when he upgraded his system from 3GB to 4GB RAM: http://lkml.org/lkml/2008/1/7/9 the bug is due to HIGHMEM4G && SPARSEMEM kernels making pfn_to_page() to return an invalid pointer when the pfn is in a memory hole. The 256 MB PCI aperture at the end of RAM was not mapped by sparsemem, and hence the pfn was not valid. But set_highmem_pages_init() iterated this range without checking the pfn's validity first. this bug was probably present in the sparsemem code ever since sparsemem has been introduced in v2.6.13. It was masked due to HIGHMEM64G using larger memory regions in sparsemem_32.h: #ifdef CONFIG_X86_PAE #define SECTION_SIZE_BITS 30 #define MAX_PHYSADDR_BITS 36 #define MAX_PHYSMEM_BITS 36 #else #define SECTION_SIZE_BITS 26 #define MAX_PHYSADDR_BITS 32 #define MAX_PHYSMEM_BITS 32 #endif which creates 1GB sparsemem regions instead of 64MB sparsemem regions. So in practice we only ever created true sparsemem holes on x86 with HIGHMEM4G - but that was rarely used by distros. ( btw., we could probably save 2MB of mem_map[]s on X86_PAE if we reduced the sparsemem region size to 256 MB. ) Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu> Acked-by: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de>

2007-10-29Revert "x86_64: allocate sparsemem memmap above 4G"Linus Torvalds
This reverts commit 2e1c49db4c640b35df13889b86b9d62215ade4b6. First off, testing in Fedora has shown it to cause boot failures, bisected down by Martin Ebourne, and reported by Dave Jobes. So the commit will likely be reverted in the 2.6.23 stable kernels. Secondly, in the 2.6.24 model, x86-64 has now grown support for SPARSEMEM_VMEMMAP, which disables the relevant code anyway, so while the bug is not visible any more, it's become invisible due to the code just being irrelevant and no longer enabled on the only architecture that this ever affected.

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.

2007-10-19x86: convert cpu_to_apicid to be a per cpu variableMike Travis
This patch converts the x86_cpu_to_apicid array to be a per cpu variable. This saves sizeof(apicid) * NR unused cpus. Access is mostly from startup and CPU HOTPLUG functions. MP_processor_info() is one of the functions that require access to the x86_cpu_to_apicid array before the per_cpu data area is setup. For this case, a pointer to the __initdata array is initialized in setup_arch() and removed in smp_prepare_cpus() after the per_cpu data area is initialized. A second change is included to change the initial array value of ARCH i386 from 0xff to BAD_APICID to be consistent with ARCH x86_64.

2007-10-19x86: fix global_flush_tlb() bugIngo Molnar
While we were reviewing pageattr_32/64.c for unification, Thomas Gleixner noticed the following serious SMP bug in global_flush_tlb(): down_read(&init_mm.mmap_sem); list_replace_init(&deferred_pages, &l); up_read(&init_mm.mmap_sem); this is SMP-unsafe because list_replace_init() done on two CPUs in parallel can corrupt the list. This bug has been introduced about a year ago in the 64-bit tree: commit ea7322decb974a4a3e804f96a0201e893ff88ce3 Author: Andi Kleen <ak@suse.de> Date: Thu Dec 7 02:14:05 2006 +0100 [PATCH] x86-64: Speed and clean up cache flushing in change_page_attr down_read(&init_mm.mmap_sem); - dpage = xchg(&deferred_pages, NULL); + list_replace_init(&deferred_pages, &l); up_read(&init_mm.mmap_sem); the xchg() based version was SMP-safe, but list_replace_init() is not. So this "cleanup" introduced a nasty bug. why this bug never become prominent is a mystery - it can probably be explained with the (still) relative obscurity of the x86_64 architecture. the safe fix for now is to write-lock init_mm.mmap_sem.

2007-10-17x86: fix cpu_to_node referencesMike Travis
In x86_64 and i386 architectures most arrays that are sized using NR_CPUS lay in local memory on node 0. Not only will most (99%?) of the systems not use all the slots in these arrays, particularly when NR_CPUS is increased to accommodate future very high cpu count systems, but a number of cache lines are passed unnecessarily on the system bus when these arrays are referenced by cpus on other nodes. Typically, the values in these arrays are referenced by the cpu accessing it's own values, though when passing IPI interrupts, the cpu does access the data relevant to the targeted cpu/node. Of course, if the referencing cpu is not on node 0, then the reference will still require cross node exchanges of cache lines. A common use of this is for an interrupt service routine to pass the interrupt to other cpus local to that node. Ideally, all the elements in these arrays should be moved to the per_cpu data area. In some cases (such as x86_cpu_to_apicid) the array is referenced before the per_cpu data areas are setup. In this case, a static array is declared in the __initdata area and initialized by the booting cpu (BSP). The values are then moved to the per_cpu area after it is initialized and the original static array is freed with the rest of the __initdata. This patch: Fix four instances where cpu_to_node is referenced by array instead of via the cpu_to_node macro. This is preparation to moving it to the per_cpu data area.

Because on Intel x86_64 CPU, only if the "NX" bits of all four level page tables are cleared, the corresponding page is executable (refer to section 4.13.2 of Intel 64 and IA-32 Architectures Software Developer's Manual).

2007-10-17x86: fix CONFIG_PAGEALLOC related boot hangs/OOMsIngo Molnar
if CONFIG_PAGEALLOC is enabled then X86_FEATURE_PSE is disabled and all the kernel physical RAM pagetables are set up as 4K pages. This is needed so that CONFIG_PAGEALLOC can do finegrained mapping and unmapping of pages. as a side-effect though, the total size of memory allocated as kernel pagetables increases significantly. All these pagetables are allocated via alloc_bootmem_low_pages(), straight out of the lowmem DMA pool. If the system has enough RAM and a large kernel image then almost all of the 16 MB lowmem DMA pool is allocated to the image and to pagetables - leaving no space for __GFP_DMA allocations. this results in drivers failing and the bootup hanging: swapper invoked oom-killer: gfp_mask=0x80d1, order=0, oomkilladj=0 [<4015059f>] out_of_memory+0x17f/0x1c0 [<40151f3c>] __alloc_pages+0x37c/0x3a0 [<40168cd7>] slob_new_page+0x37/0x50 [<40168dff>] slob_alloc+0x10f/0x190 [<40169010>] __kmalloc_node+0x80/0x90 [<405a17e3>] scsi_host_alloc+0x33/0x2c0 [<405a1a82>] scsi_register+0x12/0x60 [<40d5889e>] aha1542_detect+0x9e/0x940 [<405c5ba5>] ultrastor_detect+0x265/0x5f0 [<401352f5>] getnstimeofday+0x35/0xf0 [<40d58751>] init_this_scsi_driver+0x41/0xf0 [<40d0b856>] kernel_init+0x136/0x310 [<40d58710>] init_this_scsi_driver+0x0/0xf0 [<40d0b720>] kernel_init+0x0/0x310 [<40105547>] kernel_thread_helper+0x7/0x10 ======================= the fix is to first allocate from above the DMA pool, and if that fails (for example due to it being a machine with less than 16 MB of RAM), allocate from the DMA pool as a fallback.

Slab constructors currently have a flags parameter that is never used. And the order of the arguments is opposite to other slab functions. The object pointer is placed before the kmem_cache pointer.

2007-10-16remove dead code in pgtable_cache_initJeremy Fitzhardinge
The conversion from using a slab cache to quicklist left some residual dead code. I note that in the conversion it now always allocates a whole page for the pgd, rather than the 32 bytes needed for a PAE pgd. Was this intended?

2007-10-16fix memory hot remove not configured case.KAMEZAWA Hiroyuki
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.

2007-10-16During VM oom condition, kill all threads in process groupWill Schmidt
We have had complaints where a threaded application is left in a bad state after one of it's threads is killed when we hit a VM: out_of_memory condition. Killing just one of the process threads can leave the application in a bad state, whereas killing the entire process group would allow for the application to restart, or be otherwise handled, and makes it very obvious that something has gone wrong. This change allows the entire process group to be taken down, rather than just the one thread.

2007-10-16x86_64: SPARSEMEM_VMEMMAP 2M page size supportChristoph Lameter
x86_64 uses 2M page table entries to map its 1-1 kernel space. We also implement the virtual memmap using 2M page table entries. So there is no additional runtime overhead over FLATMEM, initialisation is slightly more complex. As FLATMEM still references memory to obtain the mem_map pointer and SPARSEMEM_VMEMMAP uses a compile time constant, SPARSEMEM_VMEMMAP should be superior. With this SPARSEMEM becomes the most efficient way of handling virt_to_page, pfn_to_page and friends for UP, SMP and NUMA on x86_64.

2007-10-16x86: optimize page faults like all other achitectures and kill notifier cruftChristoph Hellwig
x86(-64) are the last architectures still using the page fault notifier cruft for the kprobes page fault hook. This patch converts them to the proper direct calls, and removes the now unused pagefault notifier bits aswell as the cruft in kprobes.c that was related to this mess. I know Andi didn't really like this, but all other architecture maintainers agreed the direct calls are much better and besides the obvious cruft removal a common way of dealing with kprobes across architectures is important aswell.
