uml: define CONFIG_NO_DMA
I think that it's better to detect DMA misuse at build time rather than
calling BUG_ON. Architectures that can't do DMA need to define
CONFIG_NO_DMA.
Thanks to Sam Ravnborg for explaining how CONFIG_NO_DMA and CONFIG_HAS_DMA
work:
http://marc.info/?l=linux-kernel&m=
128359913825550&w=2
HAS_DMA is defined like this:
config HAS_DMA
boolean
depends on !NO_DMA
default y
So to set HAS_DMA to true an arch should do:
1) Do not define NO_DMA
2) Define NO_DMA abd set it to 'n'
Must archs - including um - used principle 1).
In the um case we want to say that we do NOT have any DMA.
This can be done in two ways.
a) define NO_DMA and set it to 'y'
b) redefine HAS_DMA and set it to 'n'.
The patch you provided used principle b) where other archs use principle a).
So I suggest you should use principle a) for um too.

T2 are the only alpha SMP systems that do HAE switching at runtime, which

112 Mb of PCI MMIO (128 Mb HAE aperture minus 16 Mb reserved for EISA),
but since linux PCI allocations are reasonably tight, it should be enough
for sane hardware configurations.
Also, fix a typo in MCPCIA_FROB_MMIO macro which shouldn't call set_hae()

Clearing the HPET interrupt enable bit disables interrupt generation
but does not disable the timer, so the interrupt status bit will still
be set when the timer elapses. If another interrupt arrives before
the timer has been correctly programmed (due to some other device on
the same interrupt line, or CONFIG_DEBUG_SHIRQ), this results in an
extra unwanted interrupt event because the status bit is likely to be
set from comparator matches that happened before the device was opened.
Therefore, we have to ensure that the interrupt status bit is and
stays cleared until we actually program the timer.

hpet: unmap unused I/O space
When the initialization code in hpet finds a memory resource and does not
find an IRQ, it does not unmap the memory resource previously mapped.
There are buggy BIOSes which report resources exactly like this and what
is worse the memory region bases point to normal RAM. This normally would
not matter since the space is not touched. But when PAT is turned on,
ioremap causes the page to be uncached and sets this bit in page->flags.
Then when the page is about to be used by the allocator, it is reported
as:
BUG: Bad page state in process md5sum pfn:3ed00
page:
ffffea0000dbd800 count:0 mapcount:0 mapping:(null) index:0x0
page flags: 0x20000001000000(uncached)
Pid: 7956, comm: md5sum Not tainted 2.6.34-12-desktop #1
Call Trace:
[<
ffffffff810df851>] bad_page+0xb1/0x100
[<
ffffffff810dfa45>] prep_new_page+0x1a5/0x1c0
[<
ffffffff810dfe01>] get_page_from_freelist+0x3a1/0x640
[<
ffffffff810e01af>] __alloc_pages_nodemask+0x10f/0x6b0
...
In this particular case:
1) HPET returns
3ed00000 as memory region base, but it is not in
reserved ranges reported by the BIOS (excerpt):
BIOS-e820:
0000000000100000 -
00000000af6cf000 (usable)
BIOS-e820:
00000000af6cf000 -
00000000afdcf000 (reserved)
2) there is no IRQ resource reported by HPET method. On the other
hand, the Intel HPET specs (1.0a) says (3.2.5.1):
_CRS (
// Report 1K of memory consumed by this Timer Block
memory range consumed
// Optional: only used if BIOS allocates Interrupts [1]
IRQs consumed
)
[1] For case where Timer Block is configured to consume IRQ0/IRQ8 AND
Legacy 8254/Legacy RTC hardware still exists, the device objects
associated with 8254 & RTC devices should not report IRQ0/IRQ8 as
"consumed resources".
So in theory we should check whether if it is the case and use those
interrupts instead.
Anyway the address reported by the BIOS here is bogus, so non-presence
of IRQ doesn't mean the "optional" part in point 2).
Since I got no reply previously, fix this by simply unmapping the space
when IRQ is not found and memory region was mapped previously. It would
be probably more safe to walk the resources again and unmap appropriately
depending on type. But as we now use only ioremap for both 2 memory
resource types, it is not necessarily needed right now.

mm: retry page fault when blocking on disk transfer
This change reduces mmap_sem hold times that are caused by waiting for
disk transfers when accessing file mapped VMAs.
It introduces the VM_FAULT_ALLOW_RETRY flag, which indicates that the call
site wants mmap_sem to be released if blocking on a pending disk transfer.
In that case, filemap_fault() returns the VM_FAULT_RETRY status bit and
do_page_fault() will then re-acquire mmap_sem and retry the page fault.
It is expected that the retry will hit the same page which will now be
cached, and thus it will complete with a low mmap_sem hold time.
Tests:
- microbenchmark: thread A mmaps a large file and does random read accesses
to the mmaped area - achieves about 55 iterations/s. Thread B does
mmap/munmap in a loop at a separate location - achieves 55 iterations/s
before, 15000 iterations/s after.
- We are seeing related effects in some applications in house, which show
significant performance regressions when running without this change.

vmscan,tmpfs: treat used once pages on tmpfs as used once
When a page has PG_referenced, shrink_page_list() discards it only if it
is not dirty. This rule works fine if the backing filesystem is a regular
one. PG_dirty is a good signal that the page was used recently because
the flusher threads clean pages periodically. In addition, page writeback
is costlier than simple page discard.
However, when a page is on tmpfs this heuristic doesn't work because
flusher threads don't write back tmpfs pages. Consequently tmpfs pages
always rotate around the lru twice at least and adds unnecessary lru
churn. Simple tmpfs streaming io shouldn't cause large anonymous page
swap-out.
Remove this unncessary reclaim bonus of tmpfs pages.

writeback: do not sleep on the congestion queue if there are no congested BDIs or if significant congestion is not being encountered in the current zone
If congestion_wait() is called with no BDI congested, the caller will
sleep for the full timeout and this may be an unnecessary sleep. This
patch adds a wait_iff_congested() that checks congestion and only sleeps
if a BDI is congested else, it calls cond_resched() to ensure the caller
is not hogging the CPU longer than its quota but otherwise will not sleep.
This is aimed at reducing some of the major desktop stalls reported during
IO. For example, while kswapd is operating, it calls congestion_wait()
but it could just have been reclaiming clean page cache pages with no
congestion. Without this patch, it would sleep for a full timeout but
after this patch, it'll just call schedule() if it has been on the CPU too
long. Similar logic applies to direct reclaimers that are not making
enough progress.

but this can be unnecessary. In cases (2), (3), (5), (6), (7) and (8),
there is no point retrying. This patch causes lumpy reclaim to abort when
it is known it will fail.
Case (9) is more interesting. current behavior is,
1. start shrink_page_list(async)
2. found queue_congested()
3. skip pageout write
4. still start shrink_page_list(sync)
5. wait on a lot of pages
6. again, found queue_congested()
7. give up pageout write again
So, it's useless time wasting. However, just skipping page reclaim is
also notgood as x86 allocating a huge page needs 512 pages for example.
It can have more dirty pages than queue congestion threshold (~=128).
After this patch, pageout() behaves as follows;
- If order > PAGE_ALLOC_COSTLY_ORDER
Ignore queue congestion always.
- If order <= PAGE_ALLOC_COSTLY_ORDER
skip write page and disable lumpy reclaim.

tracing, vmscan: add trace events for LRU list shrinking
There have been numerous reports of stalls that pointed at the problem
being somewhere in the VM. There are multiple roots to the problems which
means dealing with any of the root problems in isolation is tricky to
justify on their own and they would still need integration testing. This
patch series puts together two different patch sets which in combination
should tackle some of the root causes of latency problems being reported.
Patch 1 adds a tracepoint for shrink_inactive_list. For this series, the
most important results is being able to calculate the scanning/reclaim
ratio as a measure of the amount of work being done by page reclaim.
Patch 2 accounts for time spent in congestion_wait.
Patches 3-6 were originally developed by Kosaki Motohiro but reworked for
this series. It has been noted that lumpy reclaim is far too aggressive
and trashes the system somewhat. As SLUB uses high-order allocations, a
large cost incurred by lumpy reclaim will be noticeable. It was also
reported during transparent hugepage support testing that lumpy reclaim
was trashing the system and these patches should mitigate that problem
without disabling lumpy reclaim.
Patch 7 adds wait_iff_congested() and replaces some callers of
congestion_wait(). wait_iff_congested() only sleeps if there is a BDI
that is currently congested. Patch 8 notes that any BDI being congested
is not necessarily a problem because there could be multiple BDIs of
varying speeds and numberous zones. It attempts to track when a zone
being reclaimed contains many pages backed by a congested BDI and if so,
reclaimers wait on the congestion queue.
I ran a number of tests with monitoring on X86, X86-64 and PPC64. Each
machine had 3G of RAM and the CPUs were
X86: Intel P4 2-core
X86-64: AMD Phenom 4-core
PPC64: PPC970MP
Each used a single disk and the onboard IO controller. Dirty ratio was
left at 20. I'm just going to report for X86-64 and PPC64 in a vague
attempt to keep this report short. Four kernels were tested each based on
v2.6.36-rc4
traceonly-v2r2: Patches 1 and 2 to instrument vmscan reclaims and congestion_wait
lowlumpy-v2r3: Patches 1-6 to test if lumpy reclaim is better
waitcongest-v2r3: Patches 1-7 to only wait on congestion
waitwriteback-v2r4: Patches 1-8 to detect when a zone is congested
nocongest-v1r5: Patches 1-3 for testing wait_iff_congestion
nodirect-v1r5: Patches 1-10 to disable filesystem writeback for better IO
The tests run were as follows
kernbench
compile-based benchmark. Smoke test performance
sysbench
OLTP read-only benchmark. Will be re-run in the future as read-write
micro-mapped-file-stream
This is a micro-benchmark from Johannes Weiner that accesses a
large sparse-file through mmap(). It was configured to run in only
single-CPU mode but can be indicative of how well page reclaim
identifies suitable pages.
stress-highalloc
Tries to allocate huge pages under heavy load.
kernbench, iozone and sysbench did not report any performance regression
on any machine. sysbench did pressure the system lightly and there was
reclaim activity but there were no difference of major interest between
the kernels.

These are based on the raw figures taken from /proc/vmstat. It's a rough
measure of reclaim activity. Note that allocstall counts are higher
because we are entering direct reclaim more often as a result of not
sleeping in congestion. In itself, it's not necessarily a bad thing.
It's easier to get a view of what happened from the vmscan tracepoint
report.

What is interesting here for nocongest in particular is that while direct
reclaim scans more pages, the overall number of pages scanned remains the
same and the ratio of pages scanned to pages reclaimed is more or less the
same. In other words, while we are sleeping less, reclaim is not doing
more work and as direct reclaim and kswapd is awake for less time, it
would appear to be doing less work.

Overall, the tests completed faster. It is interesting to note that backing off further
when a zone is congested and not just a BDI was more efficient overall.

Again, a similar trend that the congestion_wait changes mean that direct
reclaim scans more pages but the overall number of pages scanned while
slightly reduced, are very similar. The ratio of scanning/reclaimed
remains roughly similar. The downside is that kswapd and direct reclaim
was awake longer and for a larger percentage of the overall workload.
It's possible there were big differences in the amount of time spent
reclaiming slab pages between the different kernels which is plausible
considering that the micro tests runs after fsmark and sysbench.

Scanned/reclaimed ratios again look good with big improvements in
efficiency. The Scanned/written ratios also look much improved. With a
better scanned/written ration, there is an expectation that IO would be
more efficient and indeed, the time spent in direct reclaim is much
reduced by the full series and kswapd spends a little less time awake.
Overall, indications here are that allocations were happening much faster
and this can be seen with a graph of the latency figures as the
allocations were taking place

Overall, the time spent speeping is reduced. kswapd is still hitting
congestion_wait() but that is because there are callers remaining where it
wasn't clear in advance if they should be changed to wait_iff_congested()
or not. Overall the sleep imes are reduced though - from 79ish seconds to
about 19.

# grep nr_written /proc/vmstat

These entries allow user apps to understand writeback behaviour over time
and learn how it is impacting their performance. Currently there is no
way to inspect dirty and writeback speed over time. It's not possible for
nr_dirty/nr_writeback.
These entries are necessary to give visibility into writeback behaviour.
We have /proc/diskstats which lets us understand the io in the block
layer. We have blktrace for more in depth understanding. We have
e2fsprogs and debugsfs to give insight into the file systems behaviour,
but we don't offer our users the ability understand what writeback is
doing. There is no way to know how active it is over the whole system, if
it's falling behind or to quantify it's efforts. With these values
exported users can easily see how much data applications are sending
through writeback and also at what rates writeback is processing this
data. Comparing the rates of change between the two allow developers to
see when writeback is not able to keep up with incoming traffic and the
rate of dirty memory being sent to the IO back end. This allows folks to
understand their io workloads and track kernel issues. Non kernel
engineers at Google often use these counters to solve puzzling performance
problems.
Patch #4 adds a pernode vmstat file with nr_dirtied and nr_written
Patch #5 add writeback thresholds to /proc/vmstat
Currently these values are in debugfs. But they should be promoted to
/proc since they are useful for developers who are writing databases
and file servers and are not debugging the kernel.

nr_pages_dirty_background_threshold 818223

This allows code outside of the mm core to safely manipulate page

vmscan: prevent background aging of anon page in no swap system
Ying Han reported that backing aging of anon pages in no swap system
causes unnecessary TLB flush.
When I sent a patch(
69c8548175), I wanted this patch but Rik pointed out
and allowed aging of anon pages to give a chance to promote from inactive
to active LRU.
It has a two problem.
1) non-swap system
Never make sense to age anon pages.
2) swap configured but still doesn't swapon
It doesn't make sense to age anon pages until swap-on time. But it's
arguable. If we have aged anon pages by swapon, VM have moved anon pages
from active to inactive. And in the time swapon by admin, the VM can't
reclaim hot pages so we can protect hot pages swapout.
But let's think about it. When does swap-on happen? It depends on admin.
we can't expect it. Nonetheless, we have done aging of anon pages to
protect hot pages swapout. It means we lost run time overhead when below
high watermark but gain hot page swap-[in/out] overhead when VM decide
swapout. Is it true? Let's think more detail. We don't promote anon
pages in case of non-swap system. So even though VM does aging of anon
pages, the pages would be in inactive LRU for a long time. It means many
of pages in there would mark access bit again. So access bit hot/code
separation would be pointless.
This patch prevents unnecessary anon pages demotion in not-yet-swapon and
non-configured swap system. Even, in non-configuared swap system
inactive_anon_is_low can be compiled out.
It could make side effect that hot anon pages could swap out when admin
does swap on. But I think sooner or later it would be steady state. So
it's not a big problem.
We could lose someting but gain more thing(TLB flush and unnecessary
function call to demote anon pages).

oom: kill all threads sharing oom killed task's mm
It's necessary to kill all threads that share an oom killed task's mm if
the goal is to lead to future memory freeing.
This patch reintroduces the code removed in
8c5cd6f3 (oom: oom_kill
doesn't kill vfork parent (or child)) since it is obsoleted.
It's now guaranteed that any task passed to oom_kill_task() does not share
an mm with any thread that is unkillable. Thus, we're safe to issue a
SIGKILL to any thread sharing the same mm.
This is especially necessary to solve an mm->mmap_sem livelock issue
whereas an oom killed thread must acquire the lock in the exit path while
another thread is holding it in the page allocator while trying to
allocate memory itself (and will preempt the oom killer since a task was
already killed). Since tasks with pending fatal signals are now granted
access to memory reserves, the thread holding the lock may quickly
allocate and release the lock so that the oom killed task may exit.
This mainly is for threads that are cloned with CLONE_VM but not
CLONE_THREAD, so they are in a different thread group. Non-NPTL threads
exist in the wild and this change is necessary to prevent the livelock in
such cases. We care more about preventing the livelock than incurring the
additional tasklist in the oom killer when a task has been killed.
Systems that are sufficiently large to not want the tasklist scan in the
oom killer in the first place already have the option of enabling
/proc/sys/vm/oom_kill_allocating_task, which was designed specifically for
that purpose.
This code had existed in the oom killer for over eight years dating back
to the 2.4 kernel.

oom: avoid killing a task if a thread sharing its mm cannot be killed
The oom killer's goal is to kill a memory-hogging task so that it may

pointless if other threads sharing its mm cannot be killed because of its
/proc/pid/oom_adj or /proc/pid/oom_score_adj value.
This patch checks whether any other thread sharing p->mm has an
oom_score_adj of OOM_SCORE_ADJ_MIN. If so, the thread cannot be killed

It's pointless to kill a task if another thread sharing its mm cannot be

kills in such cases, but first it's necessary to have a way to flag a task
that shares memory with an OOM_DISABLE task that doesn't incur an
additional tasklist scan, which would make select_bad_process() an O(n^2)
function.
This patch adds an atomic counter to struct mm_struct that follows how
many threads attached to it have an oom_score_adj of OOM_SCORE_ADJ_MIN.
They cannot be killed by the kernel, so their memory cannot be freed in
oom conditions.
This only requires task_lock() on the task that we're operating on, it
does not require mm->mmap_sem since task_lock() pins the mm and the
operation is atomic.

when block device drivers calling blk_alloc_queue() are used. In case of
me, I got them by using aoe.

um: remove PAGE_SIZE alignment in linker script causing kernel segfault.
The linker script cleanup that I did in commit
5d150a97f93 ("um: Clean up
linker script using standard macros.") (2.6.32) accidentally introduced an
ALIGN(PAGE_SIZE) when converting to use INIT_TEXT_SECTION; Richard
Weinberger reported that this causes the kernel to segfault with
CONFIG_STATIC_LINK=y.
I'm not certain why this extra alignment is a problem, but it seems likely
it is because previously
__init_begin = _stext = _text = _sinittext
and with the extra ALIGN(PAGE_SIZE), _sinittext becomes different from the
rest. So there is likely a bug here where something is assuming that
_sinittext is the same as one of those other symbols. But reverting the
accidental change fixes the regression, so it seems worth committing that
now.

sgi-xp: incoming XPC channel messages can come in after the channel's partition structures have been torn down
Under some workloads, some channel messages have been observed being
delayed on the sending side past the point where the receiving side has
been able to tear down its partition structures.
This condition is already detected in xpc_handle_activate_IRQ_uv(), but
that information is not given to xpc_handle_activate_mq_msg_uv(). As a
result, xpc_handle_activate_mq_msg_uv() assumes the structures still exist

mm, page-allocator: do not check the state of a non-existant buddy during free
There is a bug in commit
6dda9d55 ("page allocator: reduce fragmentation
in buddy allocator by adding buddies that are merging to the tail of the
free lists") that means a buddy at order MAX_ORDER is checked for merging.
A page of this order never exists so at times, an effectively random
piece of memory is being checked.
Alan Curry has reported that this is causing memory corruption in
userspace data on a PPC32 platform (http://lkml.org/lkml/2010/10/9/32).
It is not clear why this is happening. It could be a cache coherency
problem where pages mapped in both user and kernel space are getting
different cache lines due to the bad read from kernel space
(http://lkml.org/lkml/2010/10/13/179). It could also be that there are
some special registers being io-remapped at the end of the memmap array
and that a read has special meaning on them. Compiler bugs have been
ruled out because the assembly before and after the patch looks relatively
harmless.
This patch fixes the problem by ensuring we are not reading a possibly
invalid location of memory. It's not clear why the read causes corruption
but one way or the other it is a buggy read.

For power management at91_pm_enter() routine, use the cpu_do_idle() for a
rock solid "wait for interrupt" implementation.
For AT91SAM9 ARM 926 based chips, we can exceed the cache line length as
we can access RAM even while in self-refresh mode.
We keep plain access to CP15 for at91rm9200 as this feature is not
available: instructions have to be in a single cache line.

AT91: reset: extend alternate reset procedure to several chips
Several at91sam9 chips need the alternate reset procedure to be sure to halt
SDRAM smoothly before resetting the chip.
This is an extension of previous patch "Fix AT91SAM9G20 reset" to all chips
affected.
