include cleanup: Update gfp.h and slab.h includes to prepare for breaking implicit slab.h inclusion from percpu.h

2010-03-30T13:02:32+00:00

percpu.h is included by sched.h and module.h and thus ends up being
included when building most .c files.  percpu.h includes slab.h which
in turn includes gfp.h making everything defined by the two files
universally available and complicating inclusion dependencies.

percpu.h -> slab.h dependency is about to be removed.  Prepare for
this change by updating users of gfp and slab facilities include those
headers directly instead of assuming availability.  As this conversion
needs to touch large number of source files, the following script is
used as the basis of conversion.

  http://userweb.kernel.org/~tj/misc/slabh-sweep.py

The script does the followings.

* Scan files for gfp and slab usages and update includes such that
  only the necessary includes are there.  ie. if only gfp is used,
  gfp.h, if slab is used, slab.h.

* When the script inserts a new include, it looks at the include
  blocks and try to put the new include such that its order conforms
  to its surrounding.  It's put in the include block which contains
  core kernel includes, in the same order that the rest are ordered -
  alphabetical, Christmas tree, rev-Xmas-tree or at the end if there
  doesn't seem to be any matching order.

* If the script can't find a place to put a new include (mostly
  because the file doesn't have fitting include block), it prints out
  an error message indicating which .h file needs to be added to the
  file.

The conversion was done in the following steps.

1. The initial automatic conversion of all .c files updated slightly
   over 4000 files, deleting around 700 includes and adding ~480 gfp.h
   and ~3000 slab.h inclusions.  The script emitted errors for ~400
   files.

2. Each error was manually checked.  Some didn't need the inclusion,
   some needed manual addition while adding it to implementation .h or
   embedding .c file was more appropriate for others.  This step added
   inclusions to around 150 files.

3. The script was run again and the output was compared to the edits
   from #2 to make sure no file was left behind.

4. Several build tests were done and a couple of problems were fixed.
   e.g. lib/decompress_*.c used malloc/free() wrappers around slab
   APIs requiring slab.h to be added manually.

5. The script was run on all .h files but without automatically
   editing them as sprinkling gfp.h and slab.h inclusions around .h
   files could easily lead to inclusion dependency hell.  Most gfp.h
   inclusion directives were ignored as stuff from gfp.h was usually
   wildly available and often used in preprocessor macros.  Each
   slab.h inclusion directive was examined and added manually as
   necessary.

6. percpu.h was updated not to include slab.h.

7. Build test were done on the following configurations and failures
   were fixed.  CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL was turned off for all tests (as my
   distributed build env didn't work with gcov compiles) and a few
   more options had to be turned off depending on archs to make things
   build (like ipr on powerpc/64 which failed due to missing writeq).

   * x86 and x86_64 UP and SMP allmodconfig and a custom test config.
   * powerpc and powerpc64 SMP allmodconfig
   * sparc and sparc64 SMP allmodconfig
   * ia64 SMP allmodconfig
   * s390 SMP allmodconfig
   * alpha SMP allmodconfig
   * um on x86_64 SMP allmodconfig

8. percpu.h modifications were reverted so that it could be applied as
   a separate patch and serve as bisection point.

Given the fact that I had only a couple of failures from tests on step
6, I'm fairly confident about the coverage of this conversion patch.
If there is a breakage, it's likely to be something in one of the arch
headers which should be easily discoverable easily on most builds of
the specific arch.

/proc/kcore: update stat.st_size after memory hotplug

2009-09-23T14:39:42+00:00

After memory hotplug (or other events in future), kcore size can be
modified.

To update inode->i_size, we have to know inode/dentry but we can't get it
from inside /proc directly.  But considerinyg memory hotplug, kcore image
is updated only when it's opened.  Then, updating inode->i_size at open()
is enough.

/proc/kcore: fix stat.st_size

2009-09-23T14:39:42+00:00

Presently the size of /proc/kcore which can be read by 'ls -l' is 0.  But
it's not the correct value.

On x86-64, ls -l shows
 ... root root 140737486266368 2009-09-17 10:29 /proc/kcore
Then, 7FFFFFFE02000. This comes from vmalloc area's size.
(*) This shows "core" size, not  memory size.

This patch shows the size by updating "size" field in struct
proc_dir_entry.  Later, lookup routine will create inode and fill
inode->i_size based on this value.  Then, this has a problem.

 - Once inode is cached, inode->i_size will never be updated.

Then, this patch is not memory-hotplug-aware.

To update inode->i_size, we have to know dentry or inode.
But there is no way to lookup them by inside kernel. Hmmm....
Next patch will try it.

kcore: register module area in generic way

2009-09-23T14:39:42+00:00

Some archs define MODULED_VADDR/MODULES_END which is not in VMALLOC area.
This is handled only in x86-64.  This patch make it more generic.  And we
can use vread/vwrite to access the area.  Fix it.

kcore: register vmemmap range

2009-09-23T14:39:41+00:00

Benjamin Herrenschmidt  pointed out that vmemmap
range is not included in KCORE_RAM, KCORE_VMALLOC ....

This adds KCORE_VMEMMAP if SPARSEMEM_VMEMMAP is used.  By this, vmemmap
can be readable via /proc/kcore

Because it's not vmalloc area, vread/vwrite cannot be used.  But the range
is static against the memory layout, this patch handles vmemmap area by
the same scheme with physical memory.

This patch assumes SPARSEMEM_VMEMMAP range is not in VMALLOC range.  It's
correct now.

kcore: use registerd physmem information

2009-09-23T14:39:41+00:00

For /proc/kcore, each arch registers its memory range by kclist_add().
In usual,

	- range of physical memory
	- range of vmalloc area
	- text, etc...

are registered but "range of physical memory" has some troubles.  It
doesn't updated at memory hotplug and it tend to include unnecessary
memory holes.  Now, /proc/iomem (kernel/resource.c) includes required
physical memory range information and it's properly updated at memory
hotplug.  Then, it's good to avoid using its own code(duplicating
information) and to rebuild kclist for physical memory based on
/proc/iomem.

kcore: register text area in generic way

2009-09-23T14:39:41+00:00

Some 64bit arch has special segment for mapping kernel text.  It should be
entried to /proc/kcore in addtion to direct-linear-map, vmalloc area.
This patch unifies KCORE_TEXT entry scattered under x86 and ia64.

I'm not familiar with other archs (mips has its own even after this patch)
but range of [_stext ..._end) is a valid area of text and it's not in
direct-map area, defining CONFIG_ARCH_PROC_KCORE_TEXT is only a necessary
thing to do.

Note: I left mips as it is now.
