2011-05-25lib: consolidate DEBUG_STACK_USAGE optionStephen Boyd13-105/+9
Most arches define CONFIG_DEBUG_STACK_USAGE exactly the same way. Move it to lib/Kconfig.debug so each arch doesn't have to define it. This obviously makes the option generic, but that's fine because the config is already used in generic code. It's not obvious to me that sysrq-P actually does anything caution by keeping the most inclusive wording.

2011-05-25lib: add kstrto*_from_user()Alexey Dobriyan2-0/+57
There is quite a lot of code which does copy_from_user() + strict_strto*() or simple_strto*() combo in slightly different ways. Before doing conversions all over tree, let's get final API correct. Enter kstrtoull_from_user() and friends. Typical code which uses them looks very simple: TYPE val; int rv; rv = kstrtoTYPE_from_user(buf, count, 0, &val); if (rv < 0) return rv; [use val] return count; There is a tiny semantic difference from the plain kstrto*() API -- the latter allows any amount of leading zeroes, while the former copies data into buffer on stack and thus allows leading zeroes as long as it fits into buffer. This shouldn't be a problem for typical usecase "echo 42 > /proc/x". The point is to make reading one integer from userspace _very_ simple and very bug free.

2011-05-25leds: provide helper to register "leds-gpio" devicesUwe Kleine-König5-1/+53
This function makes a deep copy of the platform data to allow it to live in init memory. For a kernel that supports several machines and so includes the definition for several leds-gpio devices this saves quite some memory because all but one definition can be free'd after boot. As the function is used by arch code it must be builtin and so cannot go into leds-gpio.c.

2011-05-25leds: support automatic start of blinking with ledtrig-timerEsben Haabendal3-1/+12
By setting initial values blink_delay_on and blink_delay_off in a led_classdev struct, this change starts the blinking when the led is initialized. With this patch, you can initialize blink_delay_on and blink_delay_off in led_classdev with default_trigger set to "timer", and the led will start up blinking. The current ledtrig-timer implementation ignores any initial blink_delay_on/blink_delay_off settings, and requires setting blink_delay_on/blink_delay_off (typically from userspace) before the led blinks.

Minimize the overflow by allocating the new log buffer as soon as possible. On kernels without memblock, a later call to setup_log_buf from kernel/init.c is the fallback.

2011-05-25memblock: add error return when CONFIG_HAVE_MEMBLOCK is not setYinghai Lu1-1/+8
On larger systems, information in the kernel log is lost because there is so much early text printed, that it overflows the static log buffer before the log_buf_len kernel parameter can be processed, and a bigger log buffer allocated. Distros are relunctant to increase memory usage by increasing the size of the static log buffer, so minimize the problem by allocating the new log buffer as early as possible.

2011-05-25init/calibrate.c: fix for critical bogoMIPS intermittent calculation failureAndrew Worsley1-6/+69
A fix to the TSC (Time Stamp Counter) based bogoMIPS calculation used on secondary CPUs which has two faults: 1: Not handling wrapping of the lower 32 bits of the TSC counter on 32bit kernel - perhaps TSC is not reset by a warm reset? 2: TSC and Jiffies are no incrementing together properly. Either jiffies increment too quickly or Time Stamp Counter isn't incremented in during an SMI but the real time clock is and jiffies are incremented. Case 1 can result in a factor of 16 too large a value which makes udelay() values too small and can cause mysterious driver errors. Case 2 appears to give smaller 10-15% errors after averaging but enough to cause occasional failures on my own board I have tested this code on my own branch and attach patch suitable for current kernel code. See below for examples of the failures and how the fix handles these situations now. I reported this issue earlier here: Intermittent problem with BogoMIPs calculation on Intel AP CPUs - http://marc.info/?l=linux-kernel&m=129947246316875&w=4 I suspect this issue has been seen by others but as it is intermittent and bogoMIPS for secondary CPUs are no longer printed out it might have been difficult to identify this as the cause. Perhaps these unresolved issues, although quite old, might be relevant as possibly this fault has been around for a while. In particular Case 1 may only be relevant to 32bit kernels on newer HW (most people run 64bit kernels?). Case 2 is less dramatic since the earlier fix in this area and also intermittent. Re: bogomips discrepancy on Intel Core2 Quad CPU - http://marc.info/?l=linux-kernel&m=118929277524298&w=4 slow system and bogus bogomips - http://marc.info/?l=linux-kernel&m=116791286716107&w=4 Re: Re: [RFC-PATCH] clocksource: update lpj if clocksource has - http://marc.info/?l=linux-kernel&m=128952775819467&w=4 This issue is masked a little by commit feae3203d711db0a ("timers, init: Limit the number of per cpu calibration bootup messages") which only prints out the first bogoMIPS value making it much harder to notice other values differing. Perhaps it should be changed to only suppress them when they are similar values? Here are some outputs showing faults occurring and the new code handling them properly.

Manually adjusting the smp_affinity for IRQ's becomes unwieldy when the cpu count is large.

We already have many alternate "list" interfaces: /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpuX/indexY/shared_cpu_list /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpuX/topology/thread_siblings_list /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpuX/topology/core_siblings_list /sys/devices/system/node/nodeX/cpulist /sys/devices/pci***/***/local_cpulist Add a companion interface, smp_affinity_list to use cpu lists instead of cpu maps. This conforms to other companion interfaces where both a map and a list interface exists.

2011-05-25x86: remove 32-bit versions of readq()/writeq()Roland Dreier8-24/+74
The presense of a writeq() implementation on 32-bit x86 that splits the 64-bit write into two 32-bit writes turns out to break the mpt2sas driver (and in general is risky for drivers as was discussed in <http://lkml.kernel.org/r/[email protected]>). To fix this, revert 2c5643b1c5c7 ("x86: provide readq()/writeq() on 32-bit too") and follow-on cleanups. This unfortunately leads to pushing non-atomic definitions of readq() and write() to various x86-only drivers that in the meantime started using the definitions in the x86 version of <asm/io.h>. However as discussed exhaustively, this is actually the right thing to do, because the right way to split a 64-bit transaction is hardware dependent and therefore belongs in the hardware driver (eg mpt2sas needs a spinlock to make sure no other accesses occur in between the two halves of the access). Build tested on 32- and 64-bit x86 allmodconfig.

See discussion in several distro bug trackers, e.g. BugLink: http://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/663090 https://issues.rpath.com/browse/RPL-2054 You don't want to raise the default soft limit, since that might break apps that use select(), but it's safe to raise the default hard limit; that way, apps that know they need lots of file descriptors can raise their soft limit without needing root, and without user intervention. Ubuntu is doing this with a kernel change because they have a policy of not changing kernel defaults in userland. While 4096 might not be enough for *all* apps, it seems to be plenty for the apps I've seen lately that are unhappy with 1024.

2011-05-25nommu: add page alignment to mmapBob Liu1-9/+14
Currently on nommu arch mmap(),mremap() and munmap() doesn't do page_align() which isn't consist with mmu arch and cause some issues. First, some drivers' mmap() function depends on vma->vm_end - vma->start is page aligned which is true on mmu arch but not on nommu. eg: uvc camera driver. Second munmap() may return -EINVAL[split file] error in cases when end is not page aligned(passed into from userspace) but vma->vm_end is aligned dure to split or driver's mmap() ops. Add page alignment to fix those issues.

2011-05-25mm: batch activate_page() to reduce lock contentionShaohua Li1-5/+40
The zone->lru_lock is heavily contented in workload where activate_page() is frequently used. We could do batch activate_page() to reduce the lock contention. The batched pages will be added into zone list when the pool is full or page reclaim is trying to drain them. For example, in a 4 socket 64 CPU system, create a sparse file and 64 processes, processes shared map to the file. Each process read access the whole file and then exit. The process exit will do unmap_vmas() and cause a lot of activate_page() call. In such workload, we saw about 58% total time reduction with below patch. Other workloads with a lot of activate_page also benefits a lot too. Andrew Morton suggested activate_page() and putback_lru_pages() should follow the same path to active pages, but this is hard to implement (see commit 7a608572a282a ("Revert "mm: batch activate_page() to reduce lock contention")). On the other hand, do we really need putback_lru_pages() to follow the same path? I tested several FIO/FFSB benchmark (about 20 scripts for each benchmark) in 3 machines here from 2 sockets to 4 sockets. My test doesn't show anything significant with/without below patch (there is slight difference but mostly some noise which we found even without below patch before). Below patch basically returns to the same as my first post. I tested some microbenchmarks: case-anon-cow-rand-mt 0.58% case-anon-cow-rand -3.30% case-anon-cow-seq-mt -0.51% case-anon-cow-seq -5.68% case-anon-r-rand-mt 0.23% case-anon-r-rand 0.81% case-anon-r-seq-mt -0.71% case-anon-r-seq -1.99% case-anon-rx-rand-mt 2.11% case-anon-rx-seq-mt 3.46% case-anon-w-rand-mt -0.03% case-anon-w-rand -0.50% case-anon-w-seq-mt -1.08% case-anon-w-seq -0.12% case-anon-wx-rand-mt -5.02% case-anon-wx-seq-mt -1.43% case-fork 1.65% case-fork-sleep -0.07% case-fork-withmem 1.39% case-hugetlb -0.59% case-lru-file-mmap-read-mt -0.54% case-lru-file-mmap-read 0.61% case-lru-file-mmap-read-rand -2.24% case-lru-file-readonce -0.64% case-lru-file-readtwice -11.69% case-lru-memcg -1.35% case-mmap-pread-rand-mt 1.88% case-mmap-pread-rand -15.26% case-mmap-pread-seq-mt 0.89% case-mmap-pread-seq -69.72% case-mmap-xread-rand-mt 0.71% case-mmap-xread-seq-mt 0.38% The most significent are: case-lru-file-readtwice -11.69% case-mmap-pread-rand -15.26% case-mmap-pread-seq -69.72% which use activate_page a lot. others are basically variations because each run has slightly difference.

The copy_to_user_page() function is supposed to flush the icache on the memory that was written, but the current asm-generic version lacks that logic. While normally it isn't a big deal as the asm-generic version of icache flushing is a stub, it is a deal for ports that want to use the asm-generic version as a baseline and then overlay its own specific parts (like icache flushing).

2011-05-25mm/page_alloc.c: prevent unending loop in __alloc_pages_slowpath()Andrew Barry1-1/+1
I believe I found a problem in __alloc_pages_slowpath, which allows a process to get stuck endlessly looping, even when lots of memory is available. Running an I/O and memory intensive stress-test I see a 0-order page allocation with __GFP_IO and __GFP_WAIT, running on a system with very little free memory. Right about the same time that the stress-test gets killed by the OOM-killer, the utility trying to allocate memory gets stuck in __alloc_pages_slowpath even though most of the systems memory was freed by the oom-kill of the stress-test. The utility ends up looping from the rebalance label down through the wait_iff_congested continiously. Because order=0, __alloc_pages_direct_compact skips the call to get_page_from_freelist. Because all of the reclaimable memory on the system has already been reclaimed, __alloc_pages_direct_reclaim skips the call to get_page_from_freelist. Since there is no __GFP_FS flag, the block with __alloc_pages_may_oom is skipped. The loop hits the wait_iff_congested, then jumps back to rebalance without ever trying to get_page_from_freelist. This loop repeats infinitely. The test case is pretty pathological. Running a mix of I/O stress-tests that do a lot of fork() and consume all of the system memory, I can pretty reliably hit this on 600 nodes, in about 12 hours. 32GB/node.

2011-05-25proc: allocate storage for numa_maps statistics onceStephen Wilson1-9/+27
In show_numa_map() we collect statistics into a numa_maps structure. Since the number of NUMA nodes can be very large, this structure is not a candidate for stack allocation. Instead of going thru a kmalloc()+kfree() cycle each time show_numa_map() is invoked, perform the allocation just once when /proc/pid/numa_maps is opened. Performing the allocation when numa_maps is opened, and thus before a reference to the target tasks mm is taken, eliminates a potential stalemate condition in the oom-killer as originally described by Hugh Dickins: ... imagine what happens if the system is out of memory, and the mm we're looking at is selected for killing by the OOM killer: while we wait in __get_free_page for more memory, no memory is freed from the selected mm because it cannot reach exit_mmap while we hold that reference.

Moving show_numa_map() from mempolicy.c to task_mmu.c solves several issues. - Having the show() operation "miles away" from the corresponding seq_file iteration operations is a maintenance burden. - The need to export ad hoc info like struct proc_maps_private is eliminated. - The implementation of show_numa_map() can be improved in a simple manner by cooperating with the other seq_file operations (start, stop, etc) -- something that would be messy to do without this change.

When CONFIG_TMPFS=n mpol_to_str() is not declared in mempolicy.h. However, in the NUMA case, the definition is always compiled. Since it is not strictly true that tmpfs is the only client, and since the symbol was always lurking around anyways, export mpol_to_str() unconditionally. Furthermore, this will allow us to move show_numa_map() out of mempolicy.c and into the procfs subsystem.
