      arm64: Fix DMA range invalidation for cache line unaligned buffers · ebf81a93
      Catalin Marinas authored 
      If the buffer needing cache invalidation for inbound DMA does start or
end on a cache line aligned address, we need to use the non-destructive
clean&invalidate operation. This issue was introduced by commit
7363590d

 (arm64: Implement coherent DMA API based on swiotlb).

      arm64: add early_ioremap support · bf4b558e
      Mark Salter authored 
      

Add support for early IO or memory mappings which are needed before the
normal ioremap() is usable.  This also adds fixmap support for permanent
fixed mappings such as that used by the earlyprintk device register
region.

      arm64: initialize pgprot info earlier in boot · 0bf757c7
      Mark Salter authored 
      

Presently, paging_init() calls init_mem_pgprot() to initialize pgprot
values used by macros such as PAGE_KERNEL, PAGE_KERNEL_EXEC, etc.

The new fixmap and early_ioremap support also needs to use these macros
before paging_init() is called.  This patch moves the init_mem_pgprot()
call out of paging_init() and into setup_arch() so that pgprot_default
gets initialized in time for fixmap and early_ioremap.

      x86/mm: sparse warning fix for early_memremap · 6b550f6f
      Dave Young authored 
      

This patch series takes the common bits from the x86 early ioremap
implementation and creates a generic implementation which may be used by
other architectures.  The early ioremap interfaces are intended for
situations where boot code needs to make temporary virtual mappings
before the normal ioremap interfaces are available.  Typically, this
means before paging_init() has run.

This patch (of 6):

There's a lot of sparse warnings for code like below: void *a =
early_memremap(phys_addr, size);

early_memremap intend to map kernel memory with ioremap facility, the
return pointer should be a kernel ram pointer instead of iomem one.

For making the function clearer and supressing sparse warnings this patch
do below two things:
1. cast to (__force void *) for the return value of early_memremap
2. add early_memunmap function and pass (__force void __iomem *) to iounmap

From Boris:
  "Ingo told me yesterday, it makes sense too.  I'd guess we can try it.
   FWIW, all callers of early_memremap use the memory they get remapped
   as normal memory so we should be safe"

      percpu: add raw_cpu_ops · b3ca1c10
      Christoph Lameter authored 
      

The kernel has never been audited to ensure that this_cpu operations are
consistently used throughout the kernel.  The code generated in many
places can be improved through the use of this_cpu operations (which
uses a segment register for relocation of per cpu offsets instead of
performing address calculations).

The patch set also addresses various consistency issues in general with
the per cpu macros.

A. The semantics of __this_cpu_ptr() differs from this_cpu_ptr only
   because checks are skipped. This is typically shown through a raw_
   prefix. So this patch set changes the places where __this_cpu_ptr()
   is used to raw_cpu_ptr().

B. There has been the long term wish by some that __this_cpu operations
   would check for preemption. However, there are cases where preemption
   checks need to be skipped. This patch set adds raw_cpu operations that
   do not check for preemption and then adds preemption checks to the
   __this_cpu operations.

C. The use of __get_cpu_var is always a reference to a percpu variable
   that can also be handled via a this_cpu operation. This patch set
   replaces all uses of __get_cpu_var with this_cpu operations.

D. We can then use this_cpu RMW operations in various places replacing
   sequences of instructions by a single one.

E. The use of this_cpu operations throughout will allow other arches than
   x86 to implement optimized references and RMV operations to work with
   per cpu local data.

F. The use of this_cpu operations opens up the possibility to
   further optimize code that relies on synchronization through
   per cpu data.

The patch set works in a couple of stages:

I. Patch 1 adds the additional raw_cpu operations and raw_cpu_ptr().
    Also converts the existing __this_cpu_xx_# primitive in the x86
    code to raw_cpu_xx_#.

II. Patch 2-4 use the raw_cpu operations in places that would give
     us false positives once they are enabled.

III. Patch 5 adds preemption checks to __this_cpu operations to allow
    checking if preemption is properly disabled when these functions
    are used.

IV. Patches 6-20 are patches that simply replace uses of __get_cpu_var
   with this_cpu_ptr. They do not depend on any changes to the percpu
   code. No preemption tests are skipped if they are applied.

V. Patches 21-46 are conversion patches that use this_cpu operations
   in various kernel subsystems/drivers or arch code.

VI.  Patches 47/48 (not included in this series) remove no longer used
    functions (__this_cpu_ptr and __get_cpu_var).  These should only be
    applied after all the conversion patches have made it and after we
    have done additional passes through the kernel to ensure that none of
    the uses of these functions remain.

This patch (of 46):

The patches following this one will add preemption checks to __this_cpu
ops so we need to have an alternative way to use this_cpu operations
without preemption checks.

raw_cpu_ops will be the basis for all other ops since these will be the
operations that do not implement any checks.

Primitive operations are renamed by this patch from __this_cpu_xxx to
raw_cpu_xxxx.

Also change the uses of the x86 percpu primitives in preempt.h.
These depend directly on asm/percpu.h (header #include nesting issue).

      Kconfig: rename HAS_IOPORT to HAS_IOPORT_MAP · ce816fa8
      Uwe Kleine-König authored 
      

If the renamed symbol is defined lib/iomap.c implements ioport_map and
ioport_unmap and currently (nearly) all platforms define the port
accessor functions outb/inb and friend unconditionally.  So
HAS_IOPORT_MAP is the better name for this.

Consequently NO_IOPORT is renamed to NO_IOPORT_MAP.

The motivation for this change is to reintroduce a symbol HAS_IOPORT
that signals if outb/int et al are available.  I will address that at
least one merge window later though to keep surprises to a minimum and
catch new introductions of (HAS|NO)_IOPORT.

The changes in this commit were done using:

	$ git grep -l -E '(NO|HAS)_IOPORT' | xargs perl -p -i -e 's/\b((?:CONFIG_)?(?:NO|HAS)_IOPORT)\b/$1_MAP/'

      x86: always define BUG() and HAVE_ARCH_BUG, even with !CONFIG_BUG · b06dd879
      Josh Triplett authored 
      

This ensures that BUG() always has a definition that causes a trap (via
an undefined instruction), and that the compiler still recognizes the
code following BUG() as unreachable, avoiding warnings that would
otherwise appear (such as on non-void functions that don't return a
value after BUG()).

In addition to saving a few bytes over the generic infinite-loop
implementation, this implementation traps rather than looping, which
potentially allows for better error-recovery behavior (such as by
rebooting).

      ia64: select CONFIG_TTY for use of tty_write_message in unaligned · 6035d9db
      Josh Triplett authored 
      

Fix breakage which will be exposed by the patch "kconfig: make allnoconfig

arch/ia64/kernel/unaligned.c uses tty_write_message to print an
unaligned access exception to the TTY of the current user process.
Enable TTY to prevent a build error.

Minimal fix, on the basis that few people on ia64 will care deeply about
kernel size enough to turn off TTY.  Ideally, I'd instead suggest
dropping the tty_write_message entirely, and just leaving the printk.
Bonus: no need to sprintf first.

      rapidio: rework device hierarchy and introduce mport class of devices · 2aaf308b
      Alexandre Bounine authored 
      

This patch removes an artificial RapidIO bus root device and establishes
actual device hierarchy by providing reference to real parent devices.
It also introduces device class for RapidIO controller devices (on-chip
or an eternal bridge, known as "mport").

Existing implementation was sufficient for SoC-based platforms that have
a single RapidIO controller.  With introduction of devices using
multiple RapidIO controllers and PCIe-to-RapidIO bridges the old scheme
is very limiting or does not work at all.  The implemented changes allow
to properly reference platform's local RapidIO mport devices and provide
device details needed for upper layers.

This change to RapidIO device hierarchy does not break any known
existing kernel or user space interfaces.

      mm: per-thread vma caching · 615d6e87
      Davidlohr Bueso authored 
      This patch is a continuation of efforts trying to optimize find_vma(),
avoiding potentially expensive rbtree walks to locate a vma upon faults.
The original approach (https://lkml.org/lkml/2013/11/1/410

), where the
largest vma was also cached, ended up being too specific and random,
thus further comparison with other approaches were needed.  There are
two things to consider when dealing with this, the cache hit rate and
the latency of find_vma().  Improving the hit-rate does not necessarily
translate in finding the vma any faster, as the overhead of any fancy
caching schemes can be too high to consider.

We currently cache the last used vma for the whole address space, which
provides a nice optimization, reducing the total cycles in find_vma() by
up to 250%, for workloads with good locality.  On the other hand, this
simple scheme is pretty much useless for workloads with poor locality.
Analyzing ebizzy runs shows that, no matter how many threads are
running, the mmap_cache hit rate is less than 2%, and in many situations
below 1%.

The proposed approach is to replace this scheme with a small per-thread
cache, maximizing hit rates at a very low maintenance cost.
Invalidations are performed by simply bumping up a 32-bit sequence
number.  The only expensive operation is in the rare case of a seq
number overflow, where all caches that share the same address space are
flushed.  Upon a miss, the proposed replacement policy is based on the
page number that contains the virtual address in question.  Concretely,
the following results are seen on an 80 core, 8 socket x86-64 box:

1) System bootup: Most programs are single threaded, so the per-thread
   scheme does improve ~50% hit rate by just adding a few more slots to
   the cache.

+----------------+----------+------------------+
| caching scheme | hit-rate | cycles (billion) |
+----------------+----------+------------------+
| baseline       | 50.61%   | 19.90            |
| patched        | 73.45%   | 13.58            |
+----------------+----------+------------------+

2) Kernel build: This one is already pretty good with the current
   approach as we're dealing with good locality.

+----------------+----------+------------------+
| caching scheme | hit-rate | cycles (billion) |
+----------------+----------+------------------+
| baseline       | 75.28%   | 11.03            |
| patched        | 88.09%   | 9.31             |
+----------------+----------+------------------+

3) Oracle 11g Data Mining (4k pages): Similar to the kernel build workload.

+----------------+----------+------------------+
| caching scheme | hit-rate | cycles (billion) |
+----------------+----------+------------------+
| baseline       | 70.66%   | 17.14            |
| patched        | 91.15%   | 12.57            |
+----------------+----------+------------------+

4) Ebizzy: There's a fair amount of variation from run to run, but this
   approach always shows nearly perfect hit rates, while baseline is just
   about non-existent.  The amounts of cycles can fluctuate between
   anywhere from ~60 to ~116 for the baseline scheme, but this approach
   reduces it considerably.  For instance, with 80 threads:

+----------------+----------+------------------+
| caching scheme | hit-rate | cycles (billion) |
+----------------+----------+------------------+
| baseline       | 1.06%    | 91.54            |
| patched        | 99.97%   | 14.18            |

      mm: revert "thp: make MADV_HUGEPAGE check for mm->def_flags" · 1e1836e8
      Alex Thorlton authored 
      The main motivation behind this patch is to provide a way to disable THP
for jobs where the code cannot be modified, and using a malloc hook with
madvise is not an option (i.e.  statically allocated data).  This patch
allows us to do just that, without affecting other jobs running on the
system.

We need to do this sort of thing for jobs where THP hurts performance,
due to the possibility of increased remote memory accesses that can be
created by situations such as the following:

When you touch 1 byte of an untouched, contiguous 2MB chunk, a THP will
be handed out, and the THP will be stuck on whatever node the chunk was
originally referenced from.  If many remote nodes need to do work on
that same chunk, they'll be making remote accesses.

With THP disabled, 4K pages can be handed out to separate nodes as
they're needed, greatly reducing the amount of remote accesses to
memory.

This patch is based on some of my work combined with some
suggestions/patches given by Oleg Nesterov.  The main goal here is to
add a prctl switch to allow us to disable to THP on a per mm_struct
basis.

Here's a bit of test data with the new patch in place...

First with the flag unset:

  # perf stat -a ./prctl_wrapper_mmv3 0 ./thp_pthread -C 0 -m 0 -c 512 -b 256g
  Setting thp_disabled for this task...
  thp_disable: 0
  Set thp_disabled state to 0
  Process pid = 18027

As with previous versions of the patch, We're getting about a 2x
performance increase here.  Here's a link to the test case I used, along
with the little wrapper to activate the flag:

  http://oss.sgi.com/projects/memtests/thp_pthread_mmprctlv3.tar.gz

This patch (of 3):

Revert commit 8e72033f and add in code to fix up any issues caused
by the revert.

The revert is necessary because hugepage_madvise would return -EINVAL
when VM_NOHUGEPAGE is set, which will break subsequent chunks of this
patch set.

Here's a snip of an e-mail from Gerald detailing the original purpose of
this code, and providing justification for the revert:

  "The intent of commit 8e72033f was to guard against any future
   programming errors that may result in an madvice(MADV_HUGEPAGE) on
   guest mappings, which would crash the kernel.

   Martin suggested adding the bit to arch/s390/mm/pgtable.c, if
   8e72033f

 was to be reverted, because that check will also prevent
   a kernel crash in the case described above, it will now send a
   SIGSEGV instead.

   This would now also allow to do the madvise on other parts, if
   needed, so it is a more flexible approach.  One could also say that
   it would have been better to do it this way right from the
   beginning..."
