2009-06-12slab,slub: don't enable interrupts during early bootPekka Enberg
As explained by Benjamin Herrenschmidt: Oh and btw, your patch alone doesn't fix powerpc, because it's missing a whole bunch of GFP_KERNEL's in the arch code... You would have to grep the entire kernel for things that check slab_is_available() and even then you'll be missing some. For example, slab_is_available() didn't always exist, and so in the early days on powerpc, we used a mem_init_done global that is set form mem_init() (not perfect but works in practice). And we still have code using that to do the test. Therefore, mask out __GFP_WAIT, __GFP_IO, and __GFP_FS in the slab allocators in early boot code to avoid enabling interrupts.

2008-12-29kmemtrace: SLOB hooks.Eduard - Gabriel Munteanu
This adds hooks for the SLOB allocator, to allow tracing with kmemtrace. We also convert some inline functions to __always_inline to make sure _RET_IP_, which expands to __builtin_return_address(0), always works as expected.

2007-07-17slob: Kill off duplicate kzalloc() definition.Paul Mundt
With the slab zeroing allocations cleanups Christoph stubbed in a generic kzalloc(), which was missed on SLOB. Follow the SLAB/SLUB changes and kill off the __kzalloc() wrapper that SLOB was using.

2007-07-16slob: initial NUMA supportPaul Mundt
This adds preliminary NUMA support to SLOB, primarily aimed at systems with small nodes (tested all the way down to a 128kB SRAM block), whether asymmetric or otherwise. We follow the same conventions as SLAB/SLUB, preferring current node placement for new pages, or with explicit placement, if a node has been specified. Presently on UP NUMA this has the side-effect of preferring node#0 allocations (since numa_node_id() == 0, though this could be reworked if we could hand off a pfn to determine node placement), so single-CPU NUMA systems will want to place smaller nodes further out in terms of node id. Once a page has been bound to a node (via explicit node id typing), we only do block allocations from partial free pages that have a matching node id in the page flags. The current implementation does have some scalability problems, in that all partial free pages are tracked in the global freelist (with contention due to the single spinlock). However, these are things that are being reworked for SMP scalability first, while things like per-node freelists can easily be built on top of this sort of functionality once it's been added.
