[PATCH] swsusp: use less memory during resume

Make swsusp allocate only as much memory as needed to store the image data
and metadata during resume.

Without this patch swsusp additionally allocates many page frames that will
conflict with the "original" locations of the image data and are considered
as "unsafe", treating them as "eaten" pages (ie.  allocated but unusable).

The patch makes swsusp allocate as many pages as it'll need to store the
data read from the image in one shot, creating a list of allocated "safe"
pages, and use the observation that all pages allocated by it are marked
with the PG_nosave and PG_nosave_free flags set.   Namely, when it's about
to load an image page, swsusp can check whether the page frame
corresponding to the "original" location of this page has been allocated
(ie.  if the page frame has the PG_nosave and PG_nosave_free flags set) and
if so, it can load the page directly into this page frame.   Otherwise it
uses an allocated "safe" page from the list to store the data that will be
copied to their "original" location later on.

This allows us to save many page copyings and page allocations during
resume and in the future it may allow us to load images greater than 50% of
the normal zone.

[PATCH] x86: kernel irq balance doesn't work

On i386, kernel irq balance doesn't work.

1) In function do_irq_balance, after kernel finds the min_loaded cpu but
   before calling set_pending_irq to really pin the selected_irq to the
   target cpu, kernel does a cpus_and with irq_affinity[selected_irq].
   Later on, when the irq is acked, kernel would calls
   move_native_irq=>desc->handler->set_affinity to change the irq affinity.
    However, every function pointed by
   hw_interrupt_type->set_affinity(unsigned int irq, cpumask_t cpumask)
   always changes irq_affinity[irq] to cpumask.  Next time when recalling
   do_irq_balance, it has to do cpu_ands again with
   irq_affinity[selected_irq], but irq_affinity[selected_irq] already
   becomes one cpu selected by the first irq balance.

2) Function balance_irq in file arch/i386/kernel/io_apic.c has the same
   issue.

[PATCH] fix x86 microcode driver handling of multiple matching revisions

When multiple updates matching a given CPU are found in the update file, the
action taken by the microcode update driver was inappropriate:

- when lower revision microcode was found before matching or higher revision
  one, the driver would needlessly complain that it would not downgrade the
  CPU
- when microcode matching the currently installed revision was found before
  newer revision code, no update would actually take place

To change this behavior, the driver now concludes about possibly updates and
issues messages only when the entire input was parsed.

Additionally, this adds back (in different places, and conditionalized upon
a new module option) some messages removed by a previous patch.

I now use the correct type "compat_uptr_t __user *" in the definition of

However, I used __u32 in syscalls.h.  Would have to include compat.h there

[PATCH] page migration: sys_move_pages(): support moving of individual pages

move_pages() is used to move individual pages of a process. The function can
be used to determine the location of pages and to move them onto the desired
node. move_pages() returns status information for each page.

long move_pages(pid, number_of_pages_to_move,
addresses_of_pages[],
nodes[] or NULL,
status[],
flags);

The addresses of pages is an array of void * pointing to the
pages to be moved.

The nodes array contains the node numbers that the pages should be moved
to. If a NULL is passed instead of an array then no pages are moved but
the status array is updated. The status request may be used to determine
the page state before issuing another move_pages() to move pages.

The status array will contain the state of all individual page migration
attempts when the function terminates. The status array is only valid if
move_pages() completed successfullly.

Possible page states in status[]:

0..MAX_NUMNODES The page is now on the indicated node.

-ENOENT Page is not present

-EACCES Page is mapped by multiple processes and can only
be moved if MPOL_MF_MOVE_ALL is specified.

-EPERM The page has been mlocked by a process/driver and
cannot be moved.

-EBUSY Page is busy and cannot be moved. Try again later.

-EFAULT Invalid address (no VMA or zero page).

-ENOMEM Unable to allocate memory on target node.

-EIO Unable to write back page. The page must be written
back in order to move it since the page is dirty and the
filesystem does not provide a migration function that
would allow the moving of dirty pages.

-EINVAL A dirty page cannot be moved. The filesystem does not provide
a migration function and has no ability to write back pages.

The flags parameter indicates what types of pages to move:

MPOL_MF_MOVE Move pages that are only mapped by the process.

MPOL_MF_MOVE_ALL Also move pages that are mapped by multiple processes.
Requires sufficient capabilities.

Possible return codes from move_pages()

-ENOENT No pages found that would require moving. All pages
are either already on the target node, not present, had an
invalid address or could not be moved because they were
mapped by multiple processes.

-EINVAL Flags other than MPOL_MF_MOVE(_ALL) specified or an attempt
to migrate pages in a kernel thread.

-EPERM MPOL_MF_MOVE_ALL specified without sufficient priviledges.
or an attempt to move a process belonging to another user.

-EACCES One of the target nodes is not allowed by the current cpuset.

-ENODEV One of the target nodes is not online.

-ESRCH Process does not exist.

-E2BIG Too many pages to move.

-ENOMEM Not enough memory to allocate control array.

  Pass a pointer to an integer to get_new_page() that may be used to
  indicate where the completion status of a migration operation should be
  placed.  This allows sys_move_pags() to report back exactly what happened to
  each page.

[PATCH] mm/slab.c: fix early init assumption

The SLAB bootstrap code assumes that the first two kmalloc caches created
(the INDEX_AC and INDEX_L3 kmalloc caches) wont be off-slab.  But due to AC
and L3 structure size increase in lockdep, one of them ended up being
off-slab, and subsequently crashing with:

Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at 0000000000000000 RIP:
 [<ffffffff80267478>] kmem_cache_alloc+0x26/0x7d

The fix is to introduce a bootstrap flag and to use it to prevent off-slab
caches being created so early during bootup.

(The calculation for off-slab caches is quite complex so i didnt want to
complicate things with introducing yet another INDEX_ calculation, the flag
approach is simpler and smaller.)

     It permits the filesystem to have some guarantee about the state of the

[PATCH] slab: verify pointers before free

Passing an invalid pointer to kfree() and kmem_cache_free() is likely to
cause bad memory corruption or even take down the whole system because the
bad pointer is likely reused immediately due to the per-CPU caches.  Until
now, we don't do any verification for this if CONFIG_DEBUG_SLAB is
disabled.

As suggested by Linus, add PageSlab check to page_to_cache() and
page_to_slab() to verify pointers passed to kfree().  Also, move the
stronger check from cache_free_debugcheck() to kmem_cache_free() to ensure
the passed pointer actually belongs to the cache we're about to free the
object.

For page_to_cache() and page_to_slab(), the assertions should have
virtually no extra cost (two instructions, no data cache pressure) and for
kmem_cache_free() the overhead should be minimal.

a series of macros in swapops.h.

The VM is modified to handle the migration entries.  migration entries can
only be encountered when the page they are pointing to is locked.  This limits
the number of places one has to fix.  We also check in copy_pte_range and in
mprotect_pte_range() for migration ptes.

We check for migration ptes in do_swap_cache and call a function that will
then wait on the page lock.  This allows us to effectively stop all accesses
to apge.

Migration entries are created by try_to_unmap if called for migration and
removed by local functions in migrate.c

From: Hugh Dickins <hugh@veritas.com>

  Several times while testing swapless page migration (I've no NUMA, just
  hacking it up to migrate recklessly while running load), I've hit the
  BUG_ON(!PageLocked(p)) in migration_entry_to_page.

  This comes from an orphaned migration entry, unrelated to the current
  correctly locked migration, but hit by remove_anon_migration_ptes as it
  checks an address in each vma of the anon_vma list.

  Such an orphan may be left behind if an earlier migration raced with fork:
  copy_one_pte can duplicate a migration entry from parent to child, after
  remove_anon_migration_ptes has checked the child vma, but before it has
  removed it from the parent vma.  (If the process were later to fault on this
  orphaned entry, it would hit the same BUG from migration_entry_wait.)

  This could be fixed by locking anon_vma in copy_one_pte, but we'd rather
  not.  There's no such problem with file pages, because vma_prio_tree_add
  adds child vma after parent vma, and the page table locking at each end is
  enough to serialize.  Follow that example with anon_vma: add new vmas to the
  tail instead of the head.

  (There's no corresponding problem when inserting migration entries,
  because a missed pte will leave the page count and mapcount high, which is
  allowed for.  And there's no corresponding problem when migrating via swap,
  because a leftover swap entry will be correctly faulted.  But the swapless
  method has no refcounting of its entries.)

  pte_unmap_unlock() takes the pte pointer as an argument.

From: Hugh Dickins <hugh@veritas.com>

  Several times while testing swapless page migration, gcc has tried to exec
  a pointer instead of a string: smells like COW mappings are not being
  properly write-protected on fork.

  The protection in copy_one_pte looks very convincing, until at last you
  realize that the second arg to make_migration_entry is a boolean "write",
  and SWP_MIGRATION_READ is 30.

  Anyway, it's better done like in change_pte_range, using
  is_write_migration_entry and make_migration_entry_read.
