Merge branch 'next' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/benh/powerpc

2014-01-28T05:11:26+00:00

Pull powerpc updates from Ben Herrenschmidt:
 "So here's my next branch for powerpc.  A bit late as I was on vacation
  last week.  It's mostly the same stuff that was in next already, I
  just added two patches today which are the wiring up of lockref for
  powerpc, which for some reason fell through the cracks last time and
  is trivial.

  The highlights are, in addition to a bunch of bug fixes:

   - Reworked Machine Check handling on kernels running without a
     hypervisor (or acting as a hypervisor).  Provides hooks to handle
     some errors in real mode such as TLB errors, handle SLB errors,
     etc...

   - Support for retrieving memory error information from the service
     processor on IBM servers running without a hypervisor and routing
     them to the memory poison infrastructure.

   - _PAGE_NUMA support on server processors

   - 32-bit BookE relocatable kernel support

   - FSL e6500 hardware tablewalk support

   - A bunch of new/revived board support

   - FSL e6500 deeper idle states and altivec powerdown support

  You'll notice a generic mm change here, it has been acked by the
  relevant authorities and is a pre-req for our _PAGE_NUMA support"

mm: dump page when hitting a VM_BUG_ON using VM_BUG_ON_PAGE

2014-01-24T00:36:50+00:00

Most of the VM_BUG_ON assertions are performed on a page.  Usually, when
one of these assertions fails we'll get a BUG_ON with a call stack and
the registers.

I've recently noticed based on the requests to add a small piece of code
that dumps the page to various VM_BUG_ON sites that the page dump is
quite useful to people debugging issues in mm.

This patch adds a VM_BUG_ON_PAGE(cond, page) which beyond doing what
VM_BUG_ON() does, also dumps the page before executing the actual
BUG_ON.

mm: print more details for bad_page()

2014-01-24T00:36:50+00:00

bad_page() is cool in that it prints out a bunch of data about the page.
But, I can never remember which page flags are good and which are bad,
or whether ->index or ->mapping is required to be NULL.

This patch allows bad/dump_page() callers to specify a string about why
they are dumping the page and adds explanation strings to a number of
places.  It also adds a 'bad_flags' argument to bad_page(), which it
then dumps out separately from the flags which are actually set.

This way, the messages will show specifically why the page was bad,
*specifically* which flags it is complaining about, if it was a page
flag combination which was the problem.

mm: add overcommit_kbytes sysctl variable

2014-01-22T00:19:44+00:00

Some applications that run on HPC clusters are designed around the
availability of RAM and the overcommit ratio is fine tuned to get the
maximum usage of memory without swapping.  With growing memory, the
1%-of-all-RAM grain provided by overcommit_ratio has become too coarse
for these workload (on a 2TB machine it represents no less than 20GB).

This patch adds the new overcommit_kbytes sysctl variable that allow a
much finer grain.

mm, show_mem: remove SHOW_MEM_FILTER_PAGE_COUNT

2014-01-22T00:19:44+00:00

Commit 4b59e6c47309 ("mm, show_mem: suppress page counts in
non-blockable contexts") introduced SHOW_MEM_FILTER_PAGE_COUNT to
suppress PFN walks on large memory machines.  Commit c78e93630d15 ("mm:
do not walk all of system memory during show_mem") avoided a PFN walk in
the generic show_mem helper which removes the requirement for
SHOW_MEM_FILTER_PAGE_COUNT in that case.

This patch removes PFN walkers from the arch-specific implementations
that report on a per-node or per-zone granularity.  ARM and unicore32
still do a PFN walk as they report memory usage on each bank which is a
much finer granularity where the debugging information may still be of
use.  As the remaining arches doing PFN walks have relatively small
amounts of memory, this patch simply removes SHOW_MEM_FILTER_PAGE_COUNT.

mm: create a separate slab for page->ptl allocation

2014-01-22T00:19:44+00:00

If DEBUG_SPINLOCK and DEBUG_LOCK_ALLOC are enabled spinlock_t on x86_64
is 72 bytes.  For page->ptl they will be allocated from kmalloc-96 slab,
so we loose 24 on each.  An average system can easily allocate few tens
thousands of page->ptl and overhead is significant.

Let's create a separate slab for page->ptl allocation to solve this.

To make sure that it really works this time, some numbers from my test
machine (just booted, no load):

Before:
  # grep '^\(kmalloc-96\|page->ptl\)' /proc/slabinfo
  kmalloc-96         31987  32190    128   30    1 : tunables  120   60    8 : slabdata   1073   1073     92
After:
  # grep '^\(kmalloc-96\|page->ptl\)' /proc/slabinfo
  page->ptl          27516  28143     72   53    1 : tunables  120   60    8 : slabdata    531    531      9
  kmalloc-96          3853   5280    128   30    1 : tunables  120   60    8 : slabdata    176    176      0

Note that the patch is useful not only for debug case, but also for
PREEMPT_RT, where spinlock_t is always bloated.

mm: thp: turn compound_head() into BUG_ON(!PageTail) in get_huge_page_tail()

2014-01-22T00:19:43+00:00

get_huge_page_tail()->compound_head() looks confusing.  Every caller
must check PageTail(page), otherwise atomic_inc(&page->_mapcount) is
simply wrong if this page is compound-trans-head.

mm: tail page refcounting optimization for slab and hugetlbfs

2014-01-22T00:19:43+00:00

This skips the _mapcount mangling for slab and hugetlbfs pages.

The main trouble in doing this is to guarantee that PageSlab and
PageHeadHuge remains constant for all get_page/put_page run on the tail
of slab or hugetlbfs compound pages.  Otherwise if they're set during
get_page but not set during put_page, the _mapcount of the tail page
would underflow.

PageHeadHuge will remain true until the compound page is released and
enters the buddy allocator so it won't risk to change even if the tail
page is the last reference left on the page.

PG_slab instead is cleared before the slab frees the head page with
put_page, so if the tail pin is released after the slab freed the page,
we would have a problem.  But in the slab case the tail pin cannot be
the last reference left on the page.  This is because the slab code is
free to reuse the compound page after a kfree/kmem_cache_free without
having to check if there's any tail pin left.  In turn all tail pins
must be always released while the head is still pinned by the slab code
and so we know PG_slab will be still set too.

mm: Make {,set}page_address() static inline if WANT_PAGE_VIRTUAL

2014-01-22T00:19:43+00:00

{,set}page_address() are macros if WANT_PAGE_VIRTUAL.  If
!WANT_PAGE_VIRTUAL, they're plain C functions.

If someone calls them with a void *, this pointer is auto-converted to
struct page * if !WANT_PAGE_VIRTUAL, but causes a build failure on
architectures using WANT_PAGE_VIRTUAL (arc, m68k and sparc64):

  drivers/md/bcache/bset.c: In function `__btree_sort':
  drivers/md/bcache/bset.c:1190: warning: dereferencing `void *' pointer
  drivers/md/bcache/bset.c:1190: error: request for member `virtual' in something not a structure or union

Convert them to static inline functions to fix this.  There are already
plenty of users of struct page members inside , so there's
no reason to keep them as macros.

mm: do not allocate page->ptl dynamically, if spinlock_t fits to long

2013-12-20T20:25:45+00:00

In struct page we have enough space to fit long-size page->ptl there,
but we use dynamically-allocated page->ptl if size(spinlock_t) is larger
than sizeof(int).

It hurts 64-bit architectures with CONFIG_GENERIC_LOCKBREAK, where
sizeof(spinlock_t) == 8, but it easily fits into struct page.
