kernel: delete __cpuinit usage from all core kernel files

2013-07-14T23:36:59+00:00

The __cpuinit type of throwaway sections might have made sense
some time ago when RAM was more constrained, but now the savings
do not offset the cost and complications.  For example, the fix in
commit 5e427ec2d0 ("x86: Fix bit corruption at CPU resume time")
is a good example of the nasty type of bugs that can be created
with improper use of the various __init prefixes.

After a discussion on LKML[1] it was decided that cpuinit should go
the way of devinit and be phased out.  Once all the users are gone,
we can then finally remove the macros themselves from linux/init.h.

This removes all the uses of the __cpuinit macros from C files in
the core kernel directories (kernel, init, lib, mm, and include)
that don't really have a specific maintainer.

Pull slab update from Pekka Enberg:
 "Highlights:

  - Fix for boot-time problems on some architectures due to
    init_lock_keys() not respecting kmalloc_caches boundaries
    (Christoph Lameter)

  - CONFIG_SLUB_CPU_PARTIAL requested by RT folks (Joonsoo Kim)

  - Fix for excessive slab freelist draining (Wanpeng Li)

  - SLUB and SLOB cleanups and fixes (various people)"

I ended up editing the branch, and this avoids two commits at the end
that were immediately reverted, and I instead just applied the oneliner
fix in between myself.

mm/slab: Give s_next and s_stop slab-specific names

Give s_next and s_stop slab-specific names instead of exporting
"s_next" and "s_stop".

slab: fix init_lock_keys

2013-07-07T15:58:31+00:00

Some architectures (e.g. powerpc built with CONFIG_PPC_256K_PAGES=y
CONFIG_FORCE_MAX_ZONEORDER=11) get PAGE_SHIFT + MAX_ORDER > 26.

In 3.10 kernels, CONFIG_LOCKDEP=y with PAGE_SHIFT + MAX_ORDER > 26 makes
init_lock_keys() dereference beyond kmalloc_caches[26].
This leads to an unbootable system (kernel panic at initializing SLAB)
if one of kmalloc_caches[26...PAGE_SHIFT+MAX_ORDER-1] is not NULL.

Fix this by making sure that init_lock_keys() does not dereference beyond
kmalloc_caches[26] arrays.

mm/slab: Fix drain freelist excessively

2013-07-07T15:37:46+00:00

The drain_freelist is called to drain slabs_free lists for cache reap,
cache shrink, memory hotplug callback etc. The tofree parameter should
be the number of slab to free instead of the number of slab objects to
free.

This patch fix the callers that pass # of objects. Make sure they pass #
of slabs.

mm: slab: Verify the nodeid passed to ____cache_alloc_node

2013-05-01T07:57:43+00:00

If the nodeid is > num_online_nodes() this can cause an Oops and a
panic(). The purpose of this patch is to assert if this condition is
true to aid debugging efforts rather than some random NULL pointer
dereference or page fault.

This patch is in response to BZ#42967 [1].  Using VM_BUG_ON so it's used
only when CONFIG_DEBUG_VM is set, given that ____cache_alloc_node() is a
hot code path.
