<title>powerpc/fadump: rename cpu_online_mask member of struct fadump_crash_info_header</title>

<link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='https://git.tavy.me/linux.git/commit/?id=a0512164278b11deb3b07bf14e72f8b979b07aa6'/>
<id>a0512164278b11deb3b07bf14e72f8b979b07aa6</id>
<content type='text'>
The four cpumasks cpu_{possible,online,present,active}_bits are exposed
readonly via the corresponding const variables cpu_xyz_mask.  But they are
also accessible for arbitrary writing via the exposed functions
set_cpu_xyz.  There's quite a bit of code throughout the kernel which
iterates over or otherwise accesses these bitmaps, and having the access
go via the cpu_xyz_mask variables is nowadays [1] simply a useless
indirection.

It may be that any problem in CS can be solved by an extra level of
indirection, but that doesn't mean every extra indirection solves a
problem.  In this case, it even necessitates some minor ugliness (see
4/6).

Patch 1/6 is new in v2, and fixes a build failure on ppc by renaming a
struct member, to avoid problems when the identifier cpu_online_mask
becomes a macro later in the series.  The next four patches eliminate the
cpu_xyz_mask variables by simply exposing the actual bitmaps, after
renaming them to discourage direct access - that still happens through
cpu_xyz_mask, which are now simply macros with the same type and value as
they used to have.

After that, there's no longer any reason to have the setter functions be
out-of-line: The boolean parameter is almost always a literal true or
false, so by making them static inlines they will usually compile to one
or two instructions.

For a defconfig build on x86_64, bloat-o-meter says we save ~3000 bytes.
We also save a little stack (stackdelta says 127 functions have a 16 byte
smaller stack frame, while two grow by that amount).  Mostly because, when
iterating over the mask, gcc typically loads the value of cpu_xyz_mask
into a callee-saved register and from there into %rdi before each
find_next_bit call - now it can just load the appropriate immediate
address into %rdi before each call.

[1] See Rusty's kind explanation
http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel/2047078/focus=2047722 for
some historic context.

This patch (of 6):

As preparation for eliminating the indirect access to the various global
cpu_*_bits bitmaps via the pointer variables cpu_*_mask, rename the
cpu_online_mask member of struct fadump_crash_info_header to simply
online_mask, thus allowing cpu_online_mask to become a macro.

To date, we have implemented two I/O usage models for persistent memory,
PMEM (a persistent "ram disk") and DAX (mmap persistent memory into
userspace).  This series adds a third, DAX-GUP, that allows DAX mappings
to be the target of direct-i/o.  It allows userspace to coordinate
DMA/RDMA from/to persistent memory.

The implementation leverages the ZONE_DEVICE mm-zone that went into
4.3-rc1 (also discussed at kernel summit) to flag pages that are owned
and dynamically mapped by a device driver.  The pmem driver, after
mapping a persistent memory range into the system memmap via
devm_memremap_pages(), arranges for DAX to distinguish pfn-only versus
page-backed pmem-pfns via flags in the new pfn_t type.

The DAX code, upon seeing a PFN_DEV+PFN_MAP flagged pfn, flags the
resulting pte(s) inserted into the process page tables with a new
_PAGE_DEVMAP flag.  Later, when get_user_pages() is walking ptes it keys
off _PAGE_DEVMAP to pin the device hosting the page range active.
Finally, get_page() and put_page() are modified to take references
against the device driver established page mapping.

Finally, this need for "struct page" for persistent memory requires
memory capacity to store the memmap array.  Given the memmap array for a
large pool of persistent may exhaust available DRAM introduce a
mechanism to allocate the memmap from persistent memory.  The new
"struct vmem_altmap *" parameter to devm_memremap_pages() enables
arch_add_memory() to use reserved pmem capacity rather than the page
allocator.

This patch (of 18):

The core has developed a need for a "pfn_t" type [1].  Move the existing
pfn_t in KVM to kvm_pfn_t [2].
