2008-04-29idr: create idr_layer_cache at boot timeAkinobu Mita
Avoid a possible kmem_cache_create() failure by creating idr_layer_cache unconditionary at boot time rather than creating it on-demand when idr_init() is called the first time. This change also enables us to eliminate the check every time idr_init() is called.

2008-04-29iomap: fix 64 bits resources on 32 bitsBenjamin Herrenschmidt
Almost all implementations of pci_iomap() in the kernel, including the generic lib/iomap.c one, copies the content of a struct resource into unsigned long's which will break on 32 bits platforms with 64 bits resources. This fixes all definitions of pci_iomap() to use resource_size_t. I also "fixed" the 64bits arch for consistency.

2008-04-28mempolicy: add bitmap_onto() and bitmap_fold() operationsPaul Jackson
The following adds two more bitmap operators, bitmap_onto() and bitmap_fold(), with the usual cpumask and nodemask wrappers. The bitmap_onto() operator computes one bitmap relative to another. If the n-th bit in the origin mask is set, then the m-th bit of the destination mask will be set, where m is the position of the n-th set bit in the relative mask. The bitmap_fold() operator folds a bitmap into a second that has bit m set iff the input bitmap has some bit n set, where m == n mod sz, for the specified sz value. There are two substantive changes between this patch and its predecessor bitmap_relative: 1) Renamed bitmap_relative() to be bitmap_onto(). 2) Added bitmap_fold(). The essential motivation for bitmap_onto() is to provide a mechanism for converting a cpuset-relative CPU or Node mask to an absolute mask. Cpuset relative masks are written as if the current task were in a cpuset whose CPUs or Nodes were just the consecutive ones numbered 0..N-1, for some N. The bitmap_onto() operator is provided in anticipation of adding support for the first such cpuset relative mask, by the mbind() and set_mempolicy() system calls, using a planned flag of MPOL_F_RELATIVE_NODES. These bitmap operators (and their nodemask wrappers, in particular) will be used in code that converts the user specified cpuset relative memory policy to a specific system node numbered policy, given the current mems_allowed of the tasks cpuset. Such cpuset relative mempolicies will address two deficiencies of the existing interface between cpusets and mempolicies: 1) A task cannot at present reliably establish a cpuset relative mempolicy because there is an essential race condition, in that the tasks cpuset may be changed in between the time the task can query its cpuset placement, and the time the task can issue the applicable mbind or set_memplicy system call. 2) A task cannot at present establish what cpuset relative mempolicy it would like to have, if it is in a smaller cpuset than it might have mempolicy preferences for, because the existing interface only allows specifying mempolicies for nodes currently allowed by the cpuset. Cpuset relative mempolicies are useful for tasks that don't distinguish particularly between one CPU or Node and another, but only between how many of each are allowed, and the proper placement of threads and memory pages on the various CPUs and Nodes available. The motivation for the added bitmap_fold() can be seen in the following example. Let's say an application has specified some mempolicies that presume 16 memory nodes, including say a mempolicy that specified MPOL_F_RELATIVE_NODES (cpuset relative) nodes 12-15. Then lets say that application is crammed into a cpuset that only has 8 memory nodes, 0-7. If one just uses bitmap_onto(), this mempolicy, mapped to that cpuset, would ignore the requested relative nodes above 7, leaving it empty of nodes. That's not good; better to fold the higher nodes down, so that some nodes are included in the resulting mapped mempolicy. In this case, the mempolicy nodes 12-15 are taken modulo 8 (the weight of the mems_allowed of the confining cpuset), resulting in a mempolicy specifying nodes 4-7.

2008-04-28Remove set_migrateflags()Christoph Lameter
Migrate flags must be set on slab creation as agreed upon when the antifrag logic was reviewed. Otherwise some slabs of a slabcache will end up in the unmovable and others in the reclaimable section depending on which flag was active when a new slab page was allocated. This likely slid in somehow when antifrag was merged. Remove it. The buffer_heads are always allocated with __GFP_RECLAIMABLE because the SLAB_RECLAIM_ACCOUNT option is set. The set_migrateflags() never had any effect there. Radix tree allocations are not directly reclaimable but they are allocated with __GFP_RECLAIMABLE set on each allocation. We now set SLAB_RECLAIM_ACCOUNT on radix tree slab creation making sure that radix tree slabs are consistently placed in the reclaimable section. Radix tree slabs will also be accounted as such. There is then no user left of set_migratepages. So remove it.

2008-04-26x86, bitops: select the generic bitmap search functionsAlexander van Heukelum
Introduce GENERIC_FIND_FIRST_BIT and GENERIC_FIND_NEXT_BIT in lib/Kconfig, defaulting to off. An arch that wants to use the generic implementation now only has to use a select statement to include them. I added an always-y option (X86_CPU) to arch/x86/Kconfig.cpu and used that to select the generic search functions. This way ARCH=um SUBARCH=i386 automatically picks up the change too, and arch/um/Kconfig.i386 can therefore be simplified a bit. ARCH=um SUBARCH=x86_64 does things differently, but still compiles fine. It seems that a "def_bool y" always wins over a "def_bool n"?

2008-04-26x86: generic versions of find_first_(zero_)bit, convert i386Alexander van Heukelum
Generic versions of __find_first_bit and __find_first_zero_bit are introduced as simplified versions of __find_next_bit and __find_next_zero_bit. Their compilation and use are guarded by a new config variable GENERIC_FIND_FIRST_BIT. The generic versions of find_first_bit and find_first_zero_bit are implemented in terms of the newly introduced __find_first_bit and __find_first_zero_bit. This patch does not remove the i386-specific implementation, but it does switch i386 to use the generic functions by setting GENERIC_FIND_FIRST_BIT=y for X86_32.

2008-04-26x86, generic: optimize find_next_(zero_)bit for small constant-size bitmapsAlexander van Heukelum
This moves an optimization for searching constant-sized small bitmaps form x86_64-specific to generic code. On an i386 defconfig (the x86#testing one), the size of vmlinux hardly changes with this applied. I have observed only four places where this optimization avoids a call into find_next_bit: In the functions return_unused_surplus_pages, alloc_fresh_huge_page, and adjust_pool_surplus, this patch avoids a call for a 1-bit bitmap. In __next_cpu a call is avoided for a 32-bit bitmap. That's it. On x86_64, 52 locations are optimized with a minimal increase in code size: Current #testing defconfig: 146 x bsf, 27 x find_next_*bit text data bss dec hex filename 5392637 846592 724424 6963653 6a41c5 vmlinux After removing the x86_64 specific optimization for find_next_*bit: 94 x bsf, 79 x find_next_*bit text data bss dec hex filename 5392358 846592 724424 6963374 6a40ae vmlinux After this patch (making the optimization generic): 146 x bsf, 27 x find_next_*bit text data bss dec hex filename 5392396 846592 724424 6963412 6a40d4 vmlinux [ tglx@linutronix.de: build fixes ] Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>
2008-04-26x86: change x86 to use generic find_next_bitAlexander van Heukelum
The versions with inline assembly are in fact slower on the machines I tested them on (in userspace) (Athlon XP 2800+, p4-like Xeon 2.8GHz, AMD Opteron 270). The i386-version needed a fix similar to 06024f21 to avoid crashing the benchmark. Benchmark using: gcc -fomit-frame-pointer -Os. For each bitmap size 1...512, for each possible bitmap with one bit set, for each possible offset: find the position of the first bit starting at offset. If you follow ;). Times include setup of the bitmap and checking of the results. Athlon Xeon Opteron 32/64bit x86-specific: 0m3.692s 0m2.820s 0m3.196s / 0m2.480s generic: 0m2.622s 0m1.662s 0m2.100s / 0m1.572s If the bitmap size is not a multiple of BITS_PER_LONG, and no set (cleared) bit is found, find_next_bit (find_next_zero_bit) returns a value outside of the range [0, size]. The generic version always returns exactly size. The generic version also uses unsigned long everywhere, while the x86 versions use a mishmash of int, unsigned (int), long and unsigned long. Using the generic version does give a slightly bigger kernel, though. defconfig: text data bss dec hex filename x86-specific: 4738555 481232 626688 5846475 5935cb vmlinux (32 bit) generic: 4738621 481232 626688 5846541 59360d vmlinux (32 bit) x86-specific: 5392395 846568 724424 6963387 6a40bb vmlinux (64 bit) generic: 5392458 846568 724424 6963450 6a40fa vmlinux (64 bit) Signed-off-by: Alexander van Heukelum <heukelum@fastmail.fm> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>
2008-04-25Add option to enable -Wframe-larger-than= on gcc 4.4Andi Kleen
Add option to enable -Wframe-larger-than= on gcc 4.4 gcc mainline (upcoming 4.4) added a new -Wframe-larger-than=... option to warn at build time about too large stack frames. Add a config option to enable this warning, since this very useful for the kernel. I choose (somewhat arbitarily) 2048 as default warning threshold for 64bit and 1024 as default for 32bit architectures. With some research and fixing all the code for smaller values these defaults should be probably lowered. With the default allyesconfigs have some new warnings, but I think that is all code that should be just fixed.

This patch adds in the ability to compile the kgdb internal test string into the kernel so as to run the tests at boot without changing the kernel boot arguments. This patch also changes all the error paths to invoke WARN_ON(1) which will emit the line number of the file and dump the kernel stack when an error occurs.

2008-04-17kgdb: add kgdb internal test suiteJason Wessel
This patch adds regression tests for testing the kgdb core and arch specific implementation. The kgdb test suite is designed to be built into the kernel and not as a module because it uses a number of low level kernel and kgdb primitives which should not be exported externally. The kgdb test suite is designed as a KGDB I/O module which simulates the communications that a debugger would have with kgdb. The tests are broken up in to a line by line and referenced here as a "get" which is kgdb requesting input and "put" which is kgdb sending a response. The kgdb suite can be invoked from the kernel command line arguments system or executed dynamically at run time. The test suite uses the variable "kgdbts" to obtain the information about which tests to run and to configure the verbosity level. The following are the various characters you can use with the kgdbts= line: When using the "kgdbts=" you only choose one of the following core test types: A = Run all the core tests silently V1 = Run all the core tests with minimal output V2 = Run all the core tests in debug mode You can also specify optional tests: N## = Go to sleep with interrupts of for ## seconds to test the HW NMI watchdog F## = Break at do_fork for ## iterations S## = Break at sys_open for ## iterations NOTE: that the do_fork and sys_open tests are mutually exclusive. To invoke the kgdb test suite from boot you use a kernel start argument as follows: kgdbts=V1 kgdbwait Or if you wanted to perform the NMI test for 6 seconds and do_fork test for 100 forks, you could use: kgdbts=V1N6F100 kgdbwait The test suite can also be invoked at run time with: echo kgdbts=V1N6F100 > /sys/module/kgdbts/parameters/kgdbts Or as another example: echo kgdbts=V2 > /sys/module/kgdbts/parameters/kgdbts When developing a new kgdb arch specific implementation or using these tests for the purpose of regression testing, several invocations are required. 1) Boot with the test suite enabled by using the kernel arguments "kgdbts=V1F100 kgdbwait" ## If kgdb arch specific implementation has NMI use "kgdbts=V1N6F100 2) After the system boot run the basic test. echo kgdbts=V1 > /sys/module/kgdbts/parameters/kgdbts 3) Run the concurrency tests. It is best to use n+1 while loops where n is the number of cpus you have in your system. The example below uses only two loops. ## This tests break points on sys_open while [ 1 ] ; do find / > /dev/null 2>&1 ; done & while [ 1 ] ; do find / > /dev/null 2>&1 ; done & echo kgdbts=V1S10000 > /sys/module/kgdbts/parameters/kgdbts fg # and hit control-c fg # and hit control-c ## This tests break points on do_fork while [ 1 ] ; do date > /dev/null ; done & while [ 1 ] ; do date > /dev/null ; done & echo kgdbts=V1F1000 > /sys/module/kgdbts/parameters/kgdbts fg # and hit control-c Signed-off-by: Jason Wessel <jason.wessel@windriver.com> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>

2008-04-15[LMB] Restructure allocation loops to avoid unsigned underflowPaul Mackerras
There is a potential bug in __lmb_alloc_base where we subtract `size' from the base address of a reserved region without checking whether the subtraction could wrap around and produce a very large unsigned value. In fact it probably isn't possible to hit the bug in practice since it would only occur in the situation where we can't satisfy the allocation request and there is a reserved region starting at 0. This fixes the potential bug by breaking out of the loop when we get to the point where the base of the reserved region is less than the size requested. This also restructures the loop to be a bit easier to follow. The same logic got copied into lmb_alloc_nid_unreserved, so this makes a similar change there. Here the bug is more likely to be hit because the outer loop (in lmb_alloc_nid) goes through the memory regions in increasing order rather than decreasing order as __lmb_alloc_base does, and we are therefore more likely to hit the case where we are testing against a reserved region with a base address of 0.

2008-04-15[LMB] Fix some whitespace and other formatting issues, use pr_debugPaul Mackerras
This makes no semantic changes. It fixes the whitespace and formatting a bit, gets rid of a local DBG macro and uses the equivalent pr_debug instead, and restructures one while loop that had a function call and assignment in the condition to be a bit more readable. Some comments about functions being called with relocation disabled were also removed as they would just be confusing to most readers now that the code is in lib/.

2008-04-15[LMB] Add lmb_alloc_nid()David S. Miller
A variant of lmb_alloc() that tries to allocate memory on a specified NUMA node 'nid' but falls back to normal lmb_alloc() if that fails. The caller provides a 'nid_range' function pointer which assists the allocator. It is given args 'start', 'end', and pointer to integer 'this_nid'. It places at 'this_nid' the NUMA node id that corresponds to 'start', and returns the end address within 'start' to 'end' at which memory assosciated with 'nid' ends. This callback allows a platform to use lmb_alloc_nid() in just about any context, even ones in which early_pfn_to_nid() might not be working yet. This function will be used by the NUMA setup code on sparc64, and also it can be used by powerpc, replacing it's hand crafted "careful_allocation()" function in arch/powerpc/mm/numa.c If x86 ever converts it's NUMA support over to using the LMB helpers, it can use this too as it has something entirely similar.

This patch adds new three helper functions to copy data between an SG list and a linear buffer. - sg_copy_from_buffer copies data from linear buffer to an SG list - sg_copy_to_buffer copies data from an SG list to a linear buffer When the APIs copy data from a linear buffer to an SG list, flush_kernel_dcache_page is called. It's not necessary for everyone but it's a no-op on most architectures and in general the API is not used in performance critical path.

These messages are a regression compared with 2.6.24, which did not flood the syslog with them. The actual underlying problem was introduced in 2.6.23, when somebody made the string parsing no longer accept nul-terminated strings as a valid input to store_uevent(). Eg. "add\0" was valid prior to 2.6.23, where the code regressed to require "add" without the '\0'. This patch fixes the 2.6.23 / 2.6.24 regressions, by having the code once again tolerate the trailing '\0', if present. According to GregKH, this mainly affects older Ubuntu systems, such as the one I have here that requires this fix.
