2cb0ebeeb6 x86: memtest fix use of reserve_early()
Hi all,

Wrong usage of 2nd parameter in reserve_early call.
66/75: reserve_early(start_bad, last_bad - start_bad, "BAD RAM");
                                ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

The correct way is to use 'end' address and not 'size'.
As a bonus a fix to the printk format.

db64fe0225 mm: rewrite vmap layer
Rewrite the vmap allocator to use rbtrees and lazy tlb flushing, and
provide a fast, scalable percpu frontend for small vmaps (requires a
slightly different API, though).

The biggest problem with vmap is actually vunmap.  Presently this requires
a global kernel TLB flush, which on most architectures is a broadcast IPI
to all CPUs to flush the cache.  This is all done under a global lock.  As
the number of CPUs increases, so will the number of vunmaps a scaled
workload will want to perform, and so will the cost of a global TLB flush.
 This gives terrible quadratic scalability characteristics.

Another problem is that the entire vmap subsystem works under a single
lock.  It is a rwlock, but it is actually taken for write in all the fast
paths, and the read locking would likely never be run concurrently anyway,
so it's just pointless.

This is a rewrite of vmap subsystem to solve those problems.  The existing
vmalloc API is implemented on top of the rewritten subsystem.

The TLB flushing problem is solved by using lazy TLB unmapping.  vmap
addresses do not have to be flushed immediately when they are vunmapped,
because the kernel will not reuse them again (would be a use-after-free)
until they are reallocated.  So the addresses aren't allocated again until
a subsequent TLB flush.  A single TLB flush then can flush multiple
vunmaps from each CPU.

XEN and PAT and such do not like deferred TLB flushing because they can't
always handle multiple aliasing virtual addresses to a physical address.
They now call vm_unmap_aliases() in order to flush any deferred mappings.
That call is very expensive (well, actually not a lot more expensive than
a single vunmap under the old scheme), however it should be OK if not
called too often.

The virtual memory extent information is stored in an rbtree rather than a
linked list to improve the algorithmic scalability.

There is a per-CPU allocator for small vmaps, which amortizes or avoids
global locking.

To use the per-CPU interface, the vm_map_ram / vm_unmap_ram interfaces
must be used in place of vmap and vunmap.  Vmalloc does not use these
interfaces at the moment, so it will not be quite so scalable (although it
will use lazy TLB flushing).

As a quick test of performance, I ran a test that loops in the kernel,
linearly mapping then touching then unmapping 4 pages.  Different numbers
of tests were run in parallel on an 4 core, 2 socket opteron.  Results are
in nanoseconds per map+touch+unmap.

threads           vanilla         vmap rewrite
1                 14700           2900
2                 33600           3000
4                 49500           2800
8                 70631           2900

So with a 8 cores, the rewritten version is already 25x faster.

In a slightly more realistic test (although with an older and less
scalable version of the patch), I ripped the not-very-good vunmap batching
code out of XFS, and implemented the large buffer mapping with vm_map_ram
and vm_unmap_ram...  along with a couple of other tricks, I was able to
speed up a large directory workload by 20x on a 64 CPU system.  I believe
vmap/vunmap is actually sped up a lot more than 20x on such a system, but
I'm running into other locks now.  vmap is pretty well blown off the
profiles.

out of all TLBs, to using less than 1% of kernel time.

891cffbd6b x86/mm: do not trigger a kernel warning if user-space disables interrupts and generates a page fault
Arjan reported a spike in the following bug pattern in v2.6.27:

   http://www.kerneloops.org/searchweek.php?search=lock_page

which happens because hwclock started triggering warnings due to
a (correct) might_sleep() check in the MM code.

The warning occurs because hwclock uses this dubious sequence of
code to run "atomic" code:

  static unsigned long
  atomic(const char *name, unsigned long (*op)(unsigned long),
         unsigned long arg)
  {
    unsigned long v;
    __asm__ volatile ("cli");
    v = (*op)(arg);
    __asm__ volatile ("sti");
    return v;
  }

Then it pagefaults in that "atomic" section, triggering the warning.

There is no way the kernel could provide "atomicity" in this path,
a page fault is a cannot-continue machine event so the kernel has to
wait for the page to be filled in.

Even if it was just a minor fault we'd have to take locks and might have
to spend quite a bit of time with interrupts disabled - not nice to irq
latencies in general.

So instead just enable interrupts in the pagefault path unconditionally
if we come from user-space, and handle the fault.

Also, while touching this code, unify some trivial parts of the x86
VM paths at the same time.

Portions of the ACPI code needs to know if a system is a UV system prior
to genapic initialization. This patch adds a call early_acpi_boot_init()
so that the apic type is discovered earlier.

V2 of the patch adding fixes from Yinghai Lu.

5e72d9e485 x86-64: fix combining of regions in init_memory_mapping()
When nr_range gets decremented, the same slot must be considered for

The issue is apparently pretty benign to native code, but surfaces as a
boot time crash in our forward ported Xen tree (where the page table
setup overall works differently than in native).

1494177942 x86: add early_memremap()
early_ioremap() is also used to map normal memory when constructing
the linear memory mapping.  However, since we sometimes need to be able
to distinguish between actual IO mappings and normal memory mappings,
add a early_memremap() call, which maps with PAGE_KERNEL (as opposed
to PAGE_KERNEL_IO for early_ioremap()), and use it when constructing
pagetables.

be43d72835 x86: add _PAGE_IOMAP pte flag for IO mappings
Use one of the software-defined PTE bits to indicate that a mapping is
intended for an IO address.  On native hardware this is irrelevent,
since a physical address is a physical address.  But in a virtual
environment, physical addresses are also virtualized, so there needs
to be some way to distinguish between pseudo-physical addresses and
actual hardware addresses; _PAGE_IOMAP indicates this intent.

By default, __supported_pte_mask masks out _PAGE_IOMAP, so it doesn't
even appear in the final pagetable.

c613ec1a7f x86, early_ioremap: fix fencepost error
The x86 implementation of early_ioremap has an off by one error. If we get
an object which ends on the first byte of a page we undermap by one page and
this causes a crash on boot with the ASUS P5QL whose DMI table happens to fit
this alignment.

The size computation is currently

	last_addr = phys_addr + size - 1;
	npages = (PAGE_ALIGN(last_addr) - phys_addr)

(Consider a request for 1 byte at alignment 0...)

Instead of making init a two pass sequence, to satisfy the Intel's TLB
Application note (developer.intel.com/design/processor/applnots/317080.pdf
Section 6 page 26), we preserve the original page permissions
when fragmenting the large mappings and don't touch the existing memory
mapping (which satisfies Xen's requirements).

Only open issue is: on a native linux kernel, we will go back to mapping
the first 0-1GB kernel identity mapping as executable (because of the
static mapping setup in head_64.S). We can fix this in a different
patch if needed.

ad5ca55f6b x86, cpa: srlz cpa(), global flush tlb after splitting big page and before doing cpa
Do a global flush tlb after splitting the large page and before we do the
actual change page attribute in the PTE.

With out this, we violate the TLB application note, which says
    "The TLBs may contain both ordinary and large-page translations for
     a 4-KByte range of linear addresses. This may occur if software
     modifies the paging structures so that the page size used for the
     address range changes. If the two translations differ with respect
     to page frame or attributes (e.g., permissions), processor behavior
     is undefined and may be implementation-specific."

And also serialize cpa() (for !DEBUG_PAGEALLOC which uses large identity
mappings) using cpa_lock. So that we don't allow any other cpu, with stale
large tlb entries change the page attribute in parallel to some other cpu
splitting a large page entry along with changing the attribute.

a2699e477b x86, cpa: make the kernel physical mapping initialization a two pass sequence
In the first pass, kernel physical mapping will be setup using large or
small pages but uses the same PTE attributes as that of the early
PTE attributes setup by early boot code in head_[32|64].S

After flushing TLB's, we go through the second pass, which setups the
direct mapped PTE's with the appropriate attributes (like NX, GLOBAL etc)
which are runtime detectable.

This two pass mechanism conforms to the TLB app note which says:

"Software should not write to a paging-structure entry in a way that would
 change, for any linear address, both the page size and either the page frame
 or attributes."
