misc devices: do not enable by default

Do not enable this Kconfig menu by default since it contains devices not
present on the majority of systems.

This is becoming a pain and a waste of time especially when doing a bunch
of kernel builds on different systems daily and have to answer "make
oldconfig" prompts for strange devices.

fs: allow for more than 2^31 files

Robin Holt tried to boot a 16TB system and found af_unix was overflowing
a 32bit value :

<quote>

We were seeing a failure which prevented boot.  The kernel was incapable
of creating either a named pipe or unix domain socket.  This comes down
to a common kernel function called unix_create1() which does:

        atomic_inc(&unix_nr_socks);
        if (atomic_read(&unix_nr_socks) > 2 * get_max_files())
                goto out;

The function get_max_files() is a simple return of files_stat.max_files.
files_stat.max_files is a signed integer and is computed in
fs/file_table.c's files_init().

        n = (mempages * (PAGE_SIZE / 1024)) / 10;
        files_stat.max_files = n;

In our case, mempages (total_ram_pages) is approx 3,758,096,384
(0xe0000000).  That leaves max_files at approximately 1,503,238,553.
This causes 2 * get_max_files() to integer overflow.

</quote>

Fix is to let /proc/sys/fs/file-nr & /proc/sys/fs/file-max use long
integers, and change af_unix to use an atomic_long_t instead of atomic_t.

get_max_files() is changed to return an unsigned long.  get_nr_files() is
changed to return a long.

unix_nr_socks is changed from atomic_t to atomic_long_t, while not
strictly needed to address Robin problem.

Before patch (on a 64bit kernel) :
# echo 2147483648 >/proc/sys/fs/file-max
# cat /proc/sys/fs/file-max
-18446744071562067968

After patch:
# echo 2147483648 >/proc/sys/fs/file-max
# cat /proc/sys/fs/file-max
2147483648
# cat /proc/sys/fs/file-nr

procfs: fix numbering in /proc/locks

The lock number in /proc/locks (first field) is implemented by a counter
(private field of struct seq_file) which is incremented at each call of
locks_show() and reset to 1 in locks_start() whatever the offset is.  It
should be reset according to the actual position in the list.  Because of
this, the numbering erratically restarts at 1 several times when reading a
long /proc/locks file.

Moreover, locks_show() can be called twice to print a single line thus
skipping a number.  The counter should be incremented in locks_next().

And last, pos is a loff_t, which can be bigger than a pointer, so we don't
use the pointer as an integer anymore, and allocate a loff_t instead.

vmlinux.lds.h: lower init ramfs alignment to 4

The new init ramfs format (cpio based) requires an alignment of 4 (per the
documentation and per the source files themselves).  As for compressed
sources, the decompressors can all deal with unaligned buffers.

The cpio source is also found in the __init sections of the kernel, so
once they are read and expanded into a tmpfs, the source is freed.  That
means there is no need to force page alignment here either.

This has been used on Blackfin systems for many releases without issue.

vmlinux.lds.h: gather .data..shared_aligned sections in DATA_DATA

With the recent change "net: remove time limit in process_backlog()", the
softnet_data variable changed from "DEFINE_PER_CPU()" to
"DEFINE_PER_CPU_ALIGNED()" which moved it from the .data section to the
.data.shared_align section.  I'm not saying this patch is wrong, just that
is what caused me to notice this larger problem.  No one else in the
kernel is using this aligned macro variant, so I imagine that's why no one
has noticed yet.

Since .data..shared_align isn't declared in any vmlinux files that I can
see, the linker just places it last.  This "just works" for most people,
but when building a ROM kernel on Blackfin systems, it causes section
overlap errors:

bfin-uclinux-ld.real:
section .init.data [00000000202e06b8 -> 00000000202e48b7] overlaps
section .data.shared_aligned [00000000202e06b8 -> 00000000202e0723]

I imagine other arches which support the ROM config option and thus do
funky placement would see similar issues ...

On x86, it is stuck in a dedicated section at the end:
 [8] .data             PROGBITS ffffffff810ec000 2ec0000303a8 00 WA 0 0 4096
 [9] .data.shared_alig PROGBITS ffffffff8111c3c0 31c3c00000c8 00 WA 0 0 64

So make sure we include this section in the DATA_DATA macro so that it is
placed in the right location.

This format is chosen because it most closely follows the original ihex

m68k{nommu}/blackfin : remove old assembler-only flags bit definitions

Long ago, PT_TRACESYS_OFF and friends were introduced as hard defines to
avoid straight constants in assembler parts of linux m68k.  They are not
used anymore, and were not updated to follow changes in linux kernel.
Remove them.  When similar constants are needed, they are now generated
using asm-offsets.c.

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.

alpha: use single HAE window on T2 core logic (gamma, sable)

T2 are the only alpha SMP systems that do HAE switching at runtime, which
is fundamentally racy on SMP.  This patch limits MMIO space on T2 to HAE0
only, like we did on MCPCIA (rawhide) long ago.  This leaves us with only
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()
if MCPCIA_ONE_HAE_WINDOW is defined.  It's more for correctness, as

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.

page_order() is called by memory hotplug's user interface to check the
section is removable or not.  (is_mem_section_removable())

It calls page_order() withoug holding zone->lock.
So, even if the caller does

if (PageBuddy(page))
ret = page_order(page) ...
The caller may hit BUG_ON().

For fixing this, there are 2 choices.
  1. add zone->lock.
  2. remove BUG_ON().

is_mem_section_removable() is used for some "advice" and doesn't need to
be 100% accurate.  This is_removable() can be called via user program..
We don't want to take this important lock for long by user's request.  So,

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.

mm: stack based kmap_atomic()

Keep the current interface but ignore the KM_type and use a stack based
approach.

The advantage is that we get rid of crappy code like:

#define __KM_PTE \
(in_nmi() ? KM_NMI_PTE :  \
 in_irq() ? KM_IRQ_PTE : \
 KM_PTE0)

and in general can stop worrying about what context we're in and what kmap
slots might be appropriate for that.

The downside is that FRV kmap_atomic() gets more expensive.

For now we use a CPP trick suggested by Andrew:

  #define kmap_atomic(page, args...) __kmap_atomic(page)

to avoid having to touch all kmap_atomic() users in a single patch.

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: remove the internal 5% low bound on dirty_ratio

This is not a user expected behavior.  And it's inconsistent with

Let's remove the internal bound.

At the same time, fix balance_dirty_pages() to work with the

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.

  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.

vmscan: synchronous lumpy reclaim should not call congestion_wait()

congestion_wait() means "wait until queue congestion is cleared".
However, synchronous lumpy reclaim does not need this congestion_wait() as
shrink_page_list(PAGEOUT_IO_SYNC) uses wait_on_page_writeback() and it
provides the necessary waiting.

writeback: account for time spent congestion_waited

There is strong evidence to indicate a lot of time is being spent in
congestion_wait(), some of it unnecessarily.  This patch adds a tracepoint
for congestion_wait to record when congestion_wait() was called, how long
the timeout was for and how long it actually slept.

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.

more work and as direct reclaim and kswapd is awake for less time, it
would appear to be doing less work.

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.

mm: add account_page_writeback()

To help developers and applications gain visibility into writeback
behaviour this patch adds two counters to /proc/vmstat.

  # grep nr_dirtied /proc/vmstat
  nr_dirtied 3747
  # grep nr_written /proc/vmstat
  nr_written 3618

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.

The output is as below:

 # grep threshold /proc/vmstat
 nr_pages_dirty_threshold 409111
 nr_pages_dirty_background_threshold 818223

This patch:

This allows code outside of the mm core to safely manipulate page
writeback state and not worry about the other accounting.  Not using these
routines means that some code will lose track of the accounting and we get
bugs.

Modify nilfs2 to use interface.

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).

memory hotplug: unify is_removable and offline detection code

Now, sysfs interface of memory hotplug shows whether the section is
removable or not.  But it checks only migrateype of pages and doesn't
check details of cluster of pages.

Next, memory hotplug's set_migratetype_isolate() has the same kind of
check, too.

This patch adds the function __count_unmovable_pages() and makes above 2
checks to use the same logic.  Then, is_removable and hotremove code uses
the same logic.  No changes in the hotremove logic itself.

TODO: need to find a way to check RECLAMABLE. But, considering bit,
      calling shrink_slab() against a range before starting memory hotremove
      sounds better. If so, this patch's logic doesn't need to be changed.

memory hotplug: fix notifier's return value check

Even if notifier cannot find any pages, it doesn't mean no pages are
available...And, if there are no notifiers registered, this condition will
be always true and memory hotplug will show -EBUSY.

This is a bug but not critical.

In most case, a pageblock which will be offlined is MIGRATE_MOVABLE This
"notifier" is called only when the pageblock is _not_ MIGRATE_MOVABLE.
But if not MIGRATE_MOVABLE, it's common case that memory hotplug will
fail.  So, no one notice this bug.

mm: compaction: fix COMPACTPAGEFAILED counting

Presently update_nr_listpages() doesn't have a role.  That's because lists
passed is always empty just after calling migrate_pages.  The
migrate_pages cleans up page list which have failed to migrate before
returning by aaa994b3.

 [PATCH] page migration: handle freeing of pages in migrate_pages()

 Do not leave pages on the lists passed to migrate_pages().  Seems that we will
 not need any postprocessing of pages.  This will simplify the handling of
 pages by the callers of migrate_pages().

At that time, we thought we don't need any postprocessing of pages.  But
the situation is changed.  The compaction need to know the number of
failed to migrate for COMPACTPAGEFAILED stat

This patch makes new rule for caller of migrate_pages to call
putback_lru_pages.  So caller need to clean up the lists so it has a
chance to postprocess the pages.  [suggested by Christoph Lameter]
