initramfs: provide a generic free_initrd_mem implementation

2019-05-14T16:47:47+00:00

For most architectures free_initrd_mem just expands to the same
free_reserved_area call.  Provide that as a generic implementation marked
__weak.

treewide: add checks for the return value of memblock_alloc*()

2019-03-12T17:04:02+00:00

Add check for the return value of memblock_alloc*() functions and call
panic() in case of error.  The panic message repeats the one used by
panicing memblock allocators with adjustment of parameters to include
only relevant ones.

The replacement was mostly automated with semantic patches like the one
below with manual massaging of format strings.

  @@
  expression ptr, size, align;
  @@
  ptr = memblock_alloc(size, align);
  + if (!ptr)
  + 	panic("%s: Failed to allocate %lu bytes align=0x%lx\n", __func__, size, align);

mm: treewide: remove unused address argument from pte_alloc functions

2019-01-04T21:13:47+00:00

Patch series "Add support for fast mremap".

This series speeds up the mremap(2) syscall by copying page tables at
the PMD level even for non-THP systems.  There is concern that the extra
'address' argument that mremap passes to pte_alloc may do something
subtle architecture related in the future that may make the scheme not
work.  Also we find that there is no point in passing the 'address' to
pte_alloc since its unused.  This patch therefore removes this argument
tree-wide resulting in a nice negative diff as well.  Also ensuring
along the way that the enabled architectures do not do anything funky
with the 'address' argument that goes unnoticed by the optimization.

Build and boot tested on x86-64.  Build tested on arm64.  The config
enablement patch for arm64 will be posted in the future after more
testing.

The changes were obtained by applying the following Coccinelle script.
(thanks Julia for answering all Coccinelle questions!).
Following fix ups were done manually:
* Removal of address argument from  pte_fragment_alloc
* Removal of pte_alloc_one_fast definitions from m68k and microblaze.

// Options: --include-headers --no-includes
// Note: I split the 'identifier fn' line, so if you are manually
// running it, please unsplit it so it runs for you.

mm: convert totalram_pages and totalhigh_pages variables to atomic

2018-12-28T20:11:47+00:00

totalram_pages and totalhigh_pages are made static inline function.

Main motivation was that managed_page_count_lock handling was complicating
things.  It was discussed in length here,
https://lore.kernel.org/patchwork/patch/995739/#1181785 So it seemes
better to remove the lock and convert variables to atomic, with preventing
poteintial store-to-read tearing as a bonus.

mm: reference totalram_pages and managed_pages once per function

2018-12-28T20:11:47+00:00

Patch series "mm: convert totalram_pages, totalhigh_pages and managed
pages to atomic", v5.

This series converts totalram_pages, totalhigh_pages and
zone->managed_pages to atomic variables.

totalram_pages, zone->managed_pages and totalhigh_pages updates are
protected by managed_page_count_lock, but readers never care about it.
Convert these variables to atomic to avoid readers potentially seeing a
store tear.

This patch (of 4):

This is in preparation to a later patch which converts totalram_pages and
zone->managed_pages to atomic variables.  Please note that re-reading the
value might lead to a different value and as such it could lead to
unexpected behavior.  There are no known bugs as a result of the current
code but it is better to prevent from them in principle.

mm, arch: remove empty_bad_page*

2017-11-16T02:21:03+00:00

empty_bad_page() and empty_bad_pte_table() seem to be relics from old
days which is not used by any code for a long time.  I have tried to
find when exactly but this is not really all that straightforward due to
many code movements - traces disappear around 2.4 times.

Anyway no code really references neither empty_bad_page nor
empty_bad_pte_table.  We only allocate the storage which is not used by
anybody so remove them.
