uml: fix stub address calculations

The calculation of CONFIG_STUB_CODE and CONFIG_STUB_DATA didn't take into
account anything but 3G/1G and 2G/2G, leaving the other vmsplits out in the
cold.

I'd rather not duplicate the four known host vmsplit cases for each of these
symbols.  I'd also like to calculate them based on the highest userspace
address.

The Kconfig language seems not to allow calculation of hex constants, so I
moved this to as-layout.h.  CONFIG_STUB_CODE, CONFIG_STUB_DATA, and
CONFIG_STUB_START are now gone.  In their place are STUB_CODE, STUB_DATA, and
STUB_START in as-layout.h.

i386 and x86_64 seem to differ as to whether an unadorned constant is an int
or a long, so I cast them to unsigned long so they can be printed
consistently.  However, they are also used in stub.S, where C types don't work
so well.  So, there are ASM_ versions of these constants for use in stub.S.  I
also ifdef-ed the non-asm-friendly portion of as-layout.h.

With this in place, most of the rest of this patch is changing CONFIG_STUB_*
to STUB_*, except in stub.S, where they are changed to ASM_STUB_*.

defconfig has the old symbols deleted.

I also print these addresses out in case there is any problem mapping them on
the host.

The two stub.S files had some trailing whitespace, so that is cleaned up here.

uml: network driver MTU cleanups

A bunch of MTU-related cleanups in the network code.

First, there is the addition of the notion of a maximally-sized packet, which
is the MTU plus headers.  This is used to size the skb that will receive a
packet.  This allows ether_adjust_skb to go away, as it was used to resize the
skb after it was allocated.

Since the skb passed into the low-level read routine is no longer resized, and
possibly reallocated, there, they (and the write routines) don't need to get
an sk_buff **.  They just need the sk_buff * now.  The callers of
ether_adjust_skb still need to do the skb_put, so that's now inlined.

The MAX_PACKET definitions in most of the drivers are gone.

The set_mtu methods were all the same and did nothing, so they can be
removed.

The ethertap driver had a typo which doubled the size of the packet rather
than adding two bytes to it.  It also wasn't defining its setup_size, causing
a zero-byte kmalloc and crash when the invalid pointer returned from kmalloc
was dereferenced.

know whether the host does PTRACE_[GS]ETFPXREGS, so an arch_init_registers

UML doesn't save and restore floating point registers on kernel entry and

uml: fix console writing bugs

The previous console cleanup patch switched generic_read and generic_write
from calling os_{read,write}_file to calling read and write directly.  Because
the calling convention is different, they now need to get any error from errno
rather than the return value.  I did this for generic_read, but forgot about
generic_write.

While chasing some output corruption, I noticed that line_write was
unnecessarily calling flush_buffer, and deleted it.  I don't understand why,
but the corruption disappeared.  This is unneeded because there already is a
perfectly good mechanism for finding out when the host output device has some
room to write data - there is an interrupt that comes in when writes can
happen again.  line_write calling flush_buffer seemed to just be an attempt to
opportunistically get some data out to the host.

I also made write_chan short-circuit calling into the host-level code for
zero-length writes.  Calling libc write with a length of zero conflated write
not being able to write anything with asking it not to write anything.  Better
to just cut it off as soon as possible.

hugetlb: fix hugepage allocation with memoryless nodes

Anton found a problem with the hugetlb pool allocation when some nodes have
no memory (http://marc.info/?l=linux-mm&m=118133042025995&w=2).  Lee worked
on versions that tried to fix it, but none were accepted.  Christoph has
created a set of patches which allow for GFP_THISNODE allocations to fail
if the node has no memory.

Currently, alloc_fresh_huge_page() returns NULL when it is not able to
allocate a huge page on the current node, as specified by its custom
interleave variable.  The callers of this function, though, assume that a
failure in alloc_fresh_huge_page() indicates no hugepages can be allocated
on the system period.  This might not be the case, for instance, if we have
an uneven NUMA system, and we happen to try to allocate a hugepage on a
node with less memory and fail, while there is still plenty of free memory
on the other nodes.

To correct this, make alloc_fresh_huge_page() search through all online
nodes before deciding no hugepages can be allocated.  Add a helper function
for actually allocating the hugepage.  Use a new global nid iterator to
control which nid to allocate on.

Note: we expect particular semantics for __GFP_THISNODE, which are now
enforced even for memoryless nodes.  That is, there is should be no
fallback to other nodes.  Therefore, we rely on the nid passed into
alloc_pages_node() to be the nid the page comes from.  If this is
incorrect, accounting will break.

Tested on x86 !NUMA, x86 NUMA, x86_64 NUMA and ppc64 NUMA (with 2
memoryless nodes).

calculation is flawed for the following scenario:

Action                          Pool Counters (Total, Free, Resv)
======                          =============
Set pool to 1 page              1 1 0
Map 1 page MAP_PRIVATE          1 1 0
Touch the page to fault it in   1 0 0
Set pool to 3 pages             3 2 0
Map 2 pages MAP_SHARED          3 2 2
Set pool to 2 pages             2 1 2 <-- Mistake, should be 3 2 2
Touch the 2 shared pages        2 0 1 <-- Program crashes here

The last touch above will terminate the process due to lack of huge pages.

This patch corrects the calculation so that it factors in pages being used
for private mappings.  Andrew, this is a standalone fix suitable for
mainline.  It is also now corrected in my latest dynamic pool resizing
patchset which I will send out soon.

17 years agohugetlb: Move update_and_free_page
Adam Litke [Tue, 16 Oct 2007 08:26:16 +0000 (01:26 -0700)]
hugetlb: Move update_and_free_page

Dynamic huge page pool resizing.

In most real-world scenarios, configuring the size of the hugetlb pool
correctly is a difficult task.  If too few pages are allocated to the pool,
applications using MAP_SHARED may fail to mmap() a hugepage region and
applications using MAP_PRIVATE may receive SIGBUS.  Isolating too much memory
in the hugetlb pool means it is not available for other uses, especially those
programs not using huge pages.

The obvious answer is to let the hugetlb pool grow and shrink in response to
the runtime demand for huge pages.  The work Mel Gorman has been doing to
establish a memory zone for movable memory allocations makes dynamically
resizing the hugetlb pool reliable within the limits of that zone.  This patch
series implements dynamic pool resizing for private and shared mappings while
being careful to maintain existing semantics.  Please reply with your comments
and feedback; even just to say whether it would be a useful feature to you.
Thanks.

How it works
============

Upon depletion of the hugetlb pool, rather than reporting an error immediately,
first try and allocate the needed huge pages directly from the buddy allocator.
Care must be taken to avoid unbounded growth of the hugetlb pool, so the
hugetlb filesystem quota is used to limit overall pool size.

The real work begins when we decide there is a shortage of huge pages.  What
happens next depends on whether the pages are for a private or shared mapping.
Private mappings are straightforward.  At fault time, if alloc_huge_page()
fails, we allocate a page from the buddy allocator and increment the source
node's surplus_huge_pages counter.  When free_huge_page() is called for a page
on a node with a surplus, the page is freed directly to the buddy allocator
instead of the hugetlb pool.

Because shared mappings require all of the pages to be reserved up front, some
additional work must be done at mmap() to support them.  We determine the
reservation shortage and allocate the required number of pages all at once.
These pages are then added to the hugetlb pool and marked reserved.  Where that
is not possible the mmap() will fail.  As with private mappings, the
appropriate surplus counters are updated.  Since reserved huge pages won't
necessarily be used by the process, we can't be sure that free_huge_page() will
always be called to return surplus pages to the buddy allocator.  To prevent
the huge page pool from bloating, we must free unused surplus pages when their
reservation has ended.

Controlling it
==============

With the entire patch series applied, pool resizing is off by default so unless
specific action is taken, the semantics are unchanged.

To take advantage of the flexibility afforded by this patch series one must
tolerate a change in semantics.  To control hugetlb pool growth, the following
techniques can be employed:

 * A sysctl tunable to enable/disable the feature entirely
 * The size= mount option for hugetlbfs filesystems to limit pool size

Performance
===========

When contiguous memory is readily available, it is expected that the cost of
dynamicly resizing the pool will be small.  This series has been performance
tested with 'stream' to measure this cost.

Stream (http://www.cs.virginia.edu/stream/) was linked with libhugetlbfs to
enable remapping of the text and data/bss segments into huge pages.

any other fields in kmem_cache, so we may have to just bring in the
cacheline for this one access.

Add a new field to kmem_cache_cpu that contains the object size. That
cacheline must already be used in the hotpaths. So we save one cacheline
on every slab_alloc if we zero.

We need to update the kmem_cache_cpu object size if an aliasing operation
changes the objsize of an non debug slab.
