Linus Torvalds 31950eb66f mm/init: cpu_hotplug_init() must be initialized before SLAB
SLAB uses get/put_online_cpus() which use a mutex which is itself only
initialized when cpu_hotplug_init() is called.  Currently we hang suring
boot in SLAB due to doing that too late.

Reported by James Bottomley and Sachin Sant (and possibly others).
Debugged by Benjamin Herrenschmidt.

This just removes the dynamic initialization of the data structures, and
replaces it with a static one, avoiding this dependency entirely, and
removing one unnecessary special initcall.

Benjamin Herrenschmidt dcce284a25 mm: Extend gfp masking to the page allocator
The page allocator also needs the masking of gfp flags during boot,
so this moves it out of slab/slub and uses it with the page allocator
as well.

Miao Xie 58568d2a82 cpuset,mm: update tasks' mems_allowed in time
Fix allocating page cache/slab object on the unallowed node when memory
spread is set by updating tasks' mems_allowed after its cpuset's mems is
changed.

In order to update tasks' mems_allowed in time, we must modify the code of
memory policy.  Because the memory policy is applied in the process's
context originally.  After applying this patch, one task directly
manipulates anothers mems_allowed, and we use alloc_lock in the
task_struct to protect mems_allowed and memory policy of the task.

But in the fast path, we didn't use lock to protect them, because adding a
lock may lead to performance regression.  But if we don't add a lock,the
task might see no nodes when changing cpuset's mems_allowed to some
non-overlapping set.  In order to avoid it, we set all new allowed nodes,
then clear newly disallowed ones.

[lee.schermerhorn@hp.com:
  The rework of mpol_new() to extract the adjusting of the node mask to
  apply cpuset and mpol flags "context" breaks set_mempolicy() and mbind()
  with MPOL_PREFERRED and a NULL nodemask--i.e., explicit local
  allocation.  Fix this by adding the check for MPOL_PREFERRED and empty
  node mask to mpol_new_mpolicy().

  Remove the now unneeded 'nodes = NULL' from mpol_new().

  Note that mpol_new_mempolicy() is always called with a non-NULL
  'nodes' parameter now that it has been removed from mpol_new().
  Therefore, we don't need to test nodes for NULL before testing it for
  'empty'.  However, just to be extra paranoid, add a VM_BUG_ON() to
  verify this assumption.]
[lee.schermerhorn@hp.com:

  I don't think the function name 'mpol_new_mempolicy' is descriptive
  enough to differentiate it from mpol_new().

  This function applies cpuset set context, usually constraining nodes
  to those allowed by the cpuset.  However, when the 'RELATIVE_NODES flag
  is set, it also translates the nodes.  So I settled on
  'mpol_set_nodemask()', because the comment block for mpol_new() mentions
  that we need to call this function to "set nodes".

  Some additional minor line length, whitespace and typo cleanup.]

Vegard Nossum dfec072ecd kmemcheck: add the kmemcheck core
General description: kmemcheck is a patch to the linux kernel that
detects use of uninitialized memory. It does this by trapping every
read and write to memory that was allocated dynamically (e.g. using
kmalloc()). If a memory address is read that has not previously been
written to, a message is printed to the kernel log.

Thanks to Andi Kleen for the set_memory_4k() solution.

Andrew Morton suggested documenting the shadow member of struct page.

Pekka Enberg 7e85ee0c1d slab,slub: don't enable interrupts during early boot
As explained by Benjamin Herrenschmidt:

  Oh and btw, your patch alone doesn't fix powerpc, because it's missing
  a whole bunch of GFP_KERNEL's in the arch code... You would have to
  grep the entire kernel for things that check slab_is_available() and
  even then you'll be missing some.

  For example, slab_is_available() didn't always exist, and so in the
  early days on powerpc, we used a mem_init_done global that is set form
  mem_init() (not perfect but works in practice). And we still have code
  using that to do the test.

Therefore, mask out __GFP_WAIT, __GFP_IO, and __GFP_FS in the slab allocators
in early boot code to avoid enabling interrupts.

KAMEZAWA Hiroyuki ca371c0d7e memcg: fix page_cgroup fatal error in FLATMEM
Now, SLAB is configured in very early stage and it can be used in
init routine now.

But replacing alloc_bootmem() in FLAT/DISCONTIGMEM's page_cgroup()
initialization breaks the allocation, now.
(Works well in SPARSEMEM case...it supports MEMORY_HOTPLUG and
 size of page_cgroup is in reasonable size (< 1 << MAX_ORDER.)

This patch revive FLATMEM+memory cgroup by using alloc_bootmem.

In future,
We stop to support FLATMEM (if no users) or rewrite codes for flatmem
completely.But this will adds more messy codes and overheads.

Pekka Enberg 83b519e8b9 slab: setup allocators earlier in the boot sequence
This patch makes kmalloc() available earlier in the boot sequence so we can get
rid of some bootmem allocations. The bulk of the changes are due to
kmem_cache_init() being called with interrupts disabled which requires some
changes to allocator boostrap code.

Note: 32-bit x86 does WP protect test in mem_init() so we must setup traps
before we call mem_init() during boot as reported by Ingo Molnar:

  We have a hard crash in the WP-protect code:

Catalin Marinas 3c7b4e6b8b kmemleak: Add the base support
This patch adds the base support for the kernel memory leak
detector. It traces the memory allocation/freeing in a way similar to
the Boehm's conservative garbage collector, the difference being that
the unreferenced objects are not freed but only shown in
/sys/kernel/debug/kmemleak. Enabling this feature introduces an
overhead to memory allocations.

Magnus Damm 13977091a9 Driver Core: early platform driver
V3 of the early platform driver implementation.

Platform drivers are great for embedded platforms because we can separate
driver configuration from the actual driver.  So base addresses,
interrupts and other configuration can be kept with the processor or board
code, and the platform driver can be reused by many different platforms.

For early devices we have nothing today.  For instance, to configure early
timers and early serial ports we cannot use platform devices.  This
because the setup order during boot.  Timers are needed before the
platform driver core code is available.  The same goes for early printk
support.  Early in this case means before initcalls.

These early drivers today have their configuration either hard coded or
they receive it using some special configuration method.  This is working
quite well, but if we want to support both regular kernel modules and
early devices then we need to have two ways of configuring the same
driver.  A single way would be better.

The early platform driver patch is basically a set of functions that allow
drivers to register themselves and architecture code to locate them and
probe.  Registration happens through early_param().  The time for the
probe is decided by the architecture code.

See Documentation/driver-model/platform.txt for more details.

Rusty Russell 1a2142afa5 cpumask: remove dangerous CPU_MASK_ALL_PTR, &CPU_MASK_ALL
Impact: cleanup

(Thanks to Al Viro for reminding me of this, via Ingo)

CPU_MASK_ALL is the (deprecated) "all bits set" cpumask, defined as so:

	#define CPU_MASK_ALL (cpumask_t) { { ... } }

Taking the address of such a temporary is questionable at best,
unfortunately 321a8e9d (cpumask: add CPU_MASK_ALL_PTR macro) added
CPU_MASK_ALL_PTR:

	#define CPU_MASK_ALL_PTR (&CPU_MASK_ALL)

Which formalizes this practice.  One day gcc could bite us over this
usage (though we seem to have gotten away with it so far).

So replace everywhere which used &CPU_MASK_ALL or CPU_MASK_ALL_PTR
with the modern "cpu_all_mask" (a real const struct cpumask *).

I found "cpuset" is at the earliest.

I found a create_singlethread_workqueue() is earlier than
init_workqueues():

kernel_init()
->cpuset_init_smp()
  ->create_singlethread_workqueue()
->do_basic_setup()
  ->init_workqueues()

I think it's better that create_singlethread_workqueue() is called
after workqueue subsystem has been initialized.

Paul E. McKenney a682604838 rcu: Teach RCU that idle task is not quiscent state at boot
This patch fixes a bug located by Vegard Nossum with the aid of
kmemcheck, updated based on review comments from Nick Piggin,
Ingo Molnar, and Andrew Morton.  And cleans up the variable-name
and function-name language.  ;-)

The boot CPU runs in the context of its idle thread during boot-up.
During this time, idle_cpu(0) will always return nonzero, which will
fool Classic and Hierarchical RCU into deciding that a large chunk of
the boot-up sequence is a big long quiescent state.  This in turn causes
RCU to prematurely end grace periods during this time.

This patch changes the rcutree.c and rcuclassic.c rcu_check_callbacks()
function to ignore the idle task as a quiescent state until the
system has started up the scheduler in rest_init(), introducing a
new non-API function rcu_idle_now_means_idle() to inform RCU of this
transition.  RCU maintains an internal rcu_idle_cpu_truthful variable
to track this state, which is then used by rcu_check_callback() to
determine if it should believe idle_cpu().

Because this patch has the effect of disallowing RCU grace periods
during long stretches of the boot-up sequence, this patch also introduces
Josh Triplett's UP-only optimization that makes synchronize_rcu() be a
no-op if num_online_cpus() returns 1.  This allows boot-time code that
calls synchronize_rcu() to proceed normally.  Note, however, that RCU
callbacks registered by call_rcu() will likely queue up until later in
the boot sequence.  Although rcuclassic and rcutree can also use this
same optimization after boot completes, rcupreempt must restrict its
use of this optimization to the portion of the boot sequence before the
scheduler starts up, given that an rcupreempt RCU read-side critical
section may be preeempted.

In addition, this patch takes Nick Piggin's suggestion to make the
system_state global variable be __read_mostly.

Changes since v4:

o	Changes the name of the introduced function and variable to
	be less emotional.  ;-)

Changes since v3:

o	WARN_ON(nr_context_switches() > 0) to verify that RCU
	switches out of boot-time mode before the first context
	switch, as suggested by Nick Piggin.

Changes since v2:

o	Created rcu_blocking_is_gp() internal-to-RCU API that
	determines whether a call to synchronize_rcu() is itself
	a grace period.

o	The definition of rcu_blocking_is_gp() for rcuclassic and
	rcutree checks to see if but a single CPU is online.

o	The definition of rcu_blocking_is_gp() for rcupreempt
	checks to see both if but a single CPU is online and if
	the system is still in early boot.

	This allows rcupreempt to again work correctly if running
	on a single CPU after booting is complete.

o	Added check to rcupreempt's synchronize_sched() for there
	being but one online CPU.

Tested all three variants both SMP and !SMP, booted fine, passed a short
rcutorture test on both x86 and Power.

Ingo Molnar 65a4e574d2 smp, generic: introduce arch_disable_smp_support() instead of disable_ioapic_setup()
Impact: cleanup

disable_ioapic_setup() in init/main.c is ugly as the function is
x86-specific. The #ifdef inline prototype there is ugly too.

Replace it with a generic arch_disable_smp_support() function - which
has a weak alias for non-x86 architectures and for non-ioapic x86 builds.

Arjan van de Ven 22a9d64567 async: Asynchronous function calls to speed up kernel boot
Right now, most of the kernel boot is strictly synchronous, such that
various hardware delays are done sequentially.

In order to make the kernel boot faster, this patch introduces
infrastructure to allow doing some of the initialization steps
asynchronously, which will hide significant portions of the hardware delays
in practice.

In order to not change device order and other similar observables, this
patch does NOT do full parallel initialization.

Rather, it operates more in the way an out of order CPU does; the work may
be done out of order and asynchronous, but the observable effects
(instruction retiring for the CPU) are still done in the original sequence.

Both are permissible, but the kernel consistently uses `static inline' and

checkpatch warning and fix up this code site.

Yeah I shall confess kmem_minimalistic should be: kmem_alternative.

Whatever, I find it more readable but this a personal opinion of course.
We can drop it if you want.

On the ALLOC/FREE column, + means an allocation and - a free.

On the type column, you have K = kmalloc, C = cache, P = page

I would like the flags to be GFP_* strings but that would not be easy to not
break the column with strings....

About the node...it seems to always be -1. I don't know why but that shouldn't
be difficult to find.

I moved linux/tracepoint.h to trace/tracepoint.h as well. I think that would
be more easy to find the tracer headers if they are all in their common
directory.

Yinghai Lu 43a256322a sparseirq: move __weak symbols into separate compilation unit
GCC has a bug with __weak alias functions: if the functions are in
the same compilation unit as their call site, GCC can decide to
inline them - and thus rob the linker of the opportunity to override
the weak alias with the real thing.

So move all the IRQ handling related __weak symbols to kernel/irq/chip.c.

Yinghai Lu 0b8f1efad3 sparse irq_desc[] array: core kernel and x86 changes
Impact: new feature

Problem on distro kernels: irq_desc[NR_IRQS] takes megabytes of RAM with
NR_CPUS set to large values. The goal is to be able to scale up to much
larger NR_IRQS value without impacting the (important) common case.

To solve this, we generalize irq_desc[NR_IRQS] to an (optional) array of
irq_desc pointers.

When CONFIG_SPARSE_IRQ=y is used, we use kzalloc_node to get irq_desc,
this also makes the IRQ descriptors NUMA-local (to the site that calls
request_irq()).

This gets rid of the irq_cfg[] static array on x86 as well: irq_cfg now
uses desc->chip_data for x86 to store irq_cfg.

David Howells d84f4f992c CRED: Inaugurate COW credentials
Inaugurate copy-on-write credentials management.  This uses RCU to manage the
credentials pointer in the task_struct with respect to accesses by other tasks.
A process may only modify its own credentials, and so does not need locking to
access or modify its own credentials.

A mutex (cred_replace_mutex) is added to the task_struct to control the effect
of PTRACE_ATTACHED on credential calculations, particularly with respect to
execve().

With this patch, the contents of an active credentials struct may not be
changed directly; rather a new set of credentials must be prepared, modified
and committed using something like the following sequence of events:

	struct cred *new = prepare_creds();
	int ret = blah(new);
	if (ret < 0) {
		abort_creds(new);
		return ret;
	}
	return commit_creds(new);

There are some exceptions to this rule: the keyrings pointed to by the active
credentials may be instantiated - keyrings violate the COW rule as managing
COW keyrings is tricky, given that it is possible for a task to directly alter
the keys in a keyring in use by another task.

To help enforce this, various pointers to sets of credentials, such as those in
the task_struct, are declared const.  The purpose of this is compile-time
discouragement of altering credentials through those pointers.  Once a set of
credentials has been made public through one of these pointers, it may not be
modified, except under special circumstances:

  (1) Its reference count may incremented and decremented.

  (2) The keyrings to which it points may be modified, but not replaced.

The only safe way to modify anything else is to create a replacement and commit
using the functions described in Documentation/credentials.txt (which will be
added by a later patch).

This patch and the preceding patches have been tested with the LTP SELinux
testsuite.

This patch makes several logical sets of alteration:

 (1) execve().

     This now prepares and commits credentials in various places in the
     security code rather than altering the current creds directly.

 (2) Temporary credential overrides.

     do_coredump() and sys_faccessat() now prepare their own credentials and
     temporarily override the ones currently on the acting thread, whilst
     preventing interference from other threads by holding cred_replace_mutex
     on the thread being dumped.

     This will be replaced in a future patch by something that hands down the
     credentials directly to the functions being called, rather than altering
     the task's objective credentials.

 (3) LSM interface.

     A number of functions have been changed, added or removed:

     (*) security_capset_check(), ->capset_check()
     (*) security_capset_set(), ->capset_set()

     	 Removed in favour of security_capset().

     (*) security_capset(), ->capset()

     	 New.  This is passed a pointer to the new creds, a pointer to the old
     	 creds and the proposed capability sets.  It should fill in the new
     	 creds or return an error.  All pointers, barring the pointer to the
     	 new creds, are now const.

     (*) security_bprm_apply_creds(), ->bprm_apply_creds()

     	 Changed; now returns a value, which will cause the process to be
     	 killed if it's an error.

     (*) security_task_alloc(), ->task_alloc_security()

     	 Removed in favour of security_prepare_creds().

     (*) security_cred_free(), ->cred_free()

     	 New.  Free security data attached to cred->security.

     (*) security_prepare_creds(), ->cred_prepare()

     	 New. Duplicate any security data attached to cred->security.

     (*) security_commit_creds(), ->cred_commit()

     	 New. Apply any security effects for the upcoming installation of new
     	 security by commit_creds().

     (*) security_task_post_setuid(), ->task_post_setuid()

     	 Removed in favour of security_task_fix_setuid().

     (*) security_task_fix_setuid(), ->task_fix_setuid()

     	 Fix up the proposed new credentials for setuid().  This is used by
     	 cap_set_fix_setuid() to implicitly adjust capabilities in line with
     	 setuid() changes.  Changes are made to the new credentials, rather
     	 than the task itself as in security_task_post_setuid().

     (*) security_task_reparent_to_init(), ->task_reparent_to_init()

     	 Removed.  Instead the task being reparented to init is referred
     	 directly to init's credentials.

	 NOTE!  This results in the loss of some state: SELinux's osid no
	 longer records the sid of the thread that forked it.

     (*) security_key_alloc(), ->key_alloc()
     (*) security_key_permission(), ->key_permission()

     	 Changed.  These now take cred pointers rather than task pointers to
     	 refer to the security context.

 (4) sys_capset().

     This has been simplified and uses less locking.  The LSM functions it
     calls have been merged.

 (5) reparent_to_kthreadd().

     This gives the current thread the same credentials as init by simply using
     commit_thread() to point that way.

 (6) __sigqueue_alloc() and switch_uid()

     __sigqueue_alloc() can't stop the target task from changing its creds
     beneath it, so this function gets a reference to the currently applicable
     user_struct which it then passes into the sigqueue struct it returns if
     successful.

     switch_uid() is now called from commit_creds(), and possibly should be
     folded into that.  commit_creds() should take care of protecting
     __sigqueue_alloc().

 (7) [sg]et[ug]id() and co and [sg]et_current_groups.

     The set functions now all use prepare_creds(), commit_creds() and
     abort_creds() to build and check a new set of credentials before applying
     it.

     security_task_set[ug]id() is called inside the prepared section.  This
     guarantees that nothing else will affect the creds until we've finished.

     The calling of set_dumpable() has been moved into commit_creds().

     Much of the functionality of set_user() has been moved into
     commit_creds().

     The get functions all simply access the data directly.

 (8) security_task_prctl() and cap_task_prctl().

     security_task_prctl() has been modified to return -ENOSYS if it doesn't
     want to handle a function, or otherwise return the return value directly
     rather than through an argument.

     Additionally, cap_task_prctl() now prepares a new set of credentials, even
     if it doesn't end up using it.

 (9) Keyrings.

     A number of changes have been made to the keyrings code:

     (a) switch_uid_keyring(), copy_keys(), exit_keys() and suid_keys() have
     	 all been dropped and built in to the credentials functions directly.
     	 They may want separating out again later.

     (b) key_alloc() and search_process_keyrings() now take a cred pointer
     	 rather than a task pointer to specify the security context.

     (c) copy_creds() gives a new thread within the same thread group a new
     	 thread keyring if its parent had one, otherwise it discards the thread
     	 keyring.

     (d) The authorisation key now points directly to the credentials to extend
     	 the search into rather pointing to the task that carries them.

     (e) Installing thread, process or session keyrings causes a new set of
     	 credentials to be created, even though it's not strictly necessary for
     	 process or session keyrings (they're shared).

(10) Usermode helper.

     The usermode helper code now carries a cred struct pointer in its
     subprocess_info struct instead of a new session keyring pointer.  This set
     of credentials is derived from init_cred and installed on the new process
     after it has been cloned.

     call_usermodehelper_setup() allocates the new credentials and
     call_usermodehelper_freeinfo() discards them if they haven't been used.  A
     special cred function (prepare_usermodeinfo_creds()) is provided
     specifically for call_usermodehelper_setup() to call.

     call_usermodehelper_setkeys() adjusts the credentials to sport the
     supplied keyring as the new session keyring.

(11) SELinux.

     SELinux has a number of changes, in addition to those to support the LSM
     interface changes mentioned above:

     (a) selinux_setprocattr() no longer does its check for whether the
     	 current ptracer can access processes with the new SID inside the lock
     	 that covers getting the ptracer's SID.  Whilst this lock ensures that
     	 the check is done with the ptracer pinned, the result is only valid
     	 until the lock is released, so there's no point doing it inside the
     	 lock.

(12) is_single_threaded().

     This function has been extracted from selinux_setprocattr() and put into
     a file of its own in the lib/ directory as join_session_keyring() now
     wants to use it too.

     The code in SELinux just checked to see whether a task shared mm_structs
     with other tasks (CLONE_VM), but that isn't good enough.  We really want
     to know if they're part of the same thread group (CLONE_THREAD).

(13) nfsd.

     The NFS server daemon now has to use the COW credentials to set the
     credentials it is going to use.  It really needs to pass the credentials
     down to the functions it calls, but it can't do that until other patches
     in this series have been applied.

Frederic Weisbecker 7423907283 tracing/fastboot: Use the ring-buffer timestamp for initcall entries
Impact: Split the boot tracer entries in two parts: call and return

Now that we are using the sched tracer from the boot tracer, we want
to use the same timestamp than the ring-buffer to have consistent time
captures between sched events and initcall events.

So we get rid of the old time capture by the boot tracer and split the
initcall events in two parts: call and return. This way we have the
ring buffer timestamp of both.

Frederic Weisbecker 71566a0d16 tracing/fastboot: Enable boot tracing only during initcalls
Impact: modify boot tracer

We used to disable the initcall tracing at a specified time (IE: end
of builtin initcalls). But we don't need it anymore. It will be
stopped when initcalls are finished.

However we want two things:

_Start this tracing only after pre-smp initcalls are finished.

_Since we are planning to trace sched_switches at the same time, we
want to enable them only during the initcall execution.

For this purpose, this patch introduce two functions to enable/disable
the sched_switch tracing during boot.

Linus Torvalds 4403b406d4 Revert "Call init_workqueues before pre smp initcalls."
This reverts commit a802dd0eb5 by moving
the call to init_workqueues() back where it belongs - after SMP has been
initialized.

It also moves stop_machine_init() - which needs workqueues - to a later
phase using a core_initcall() instead of early_initcall().  That should
satisfy all ordering requirements, and was apparently the reason why
init_workqueues() was moved to be too early.

KAMEZAWA Hiroyuki 94b6da5ab8 memcg: fix page_cgroup allocation
page_cgroup_init() is called from mem_cgroup_init(). But at this
point, we cannot call alloc_bootmem().
(and this caused panic at boot.)

This patch moves page_cgroup_init() to init/main.c.

Time table is following:
==
  parse_args(). # we can trust mem_cgroup_subsys.disabled bit after this.
  ....
  cgroup_init_early()  # "early" init of cgroup.
  ....
  setup_arch()         # memmap is allocated.
  ...
  page_cgroup_init();
  mem_init();   # we cannot call alloc_bootmem after this.
  ....
  cgroup_init() # mem_cgroup is initialized.
==

Before page_cgroup_init(), mem_map must be initialized. So,
I added page_cgroup_init() to init/main.c directly.

(*) maybe this is not very clean but
    - cgroup_init_early() is too early
    - in cgroup_init(), we have to use vmalloc instead of alloc_bootmem().
    use of vmalloc area in x86-32 is important and we should avoid very large
    vmalloc() in x86-32. So, we want to use alloc_bootmem() and added page_cgroup_init()
    directly to init/main.c

Nick Piggin db64fe0225 mm: rewrite vmap layer
Rewrite the vmap allocator to use rbtrees and lazy tlb flushing, and
provide a fast, scalable percpu frontend for small vmaps (requires a
slightly different API, though).

The biggest problem with vmap is actually vunmap.  Presently this requires
a global kernel TLB flush, which on most architectures is a broadcast IPI
to all CPUs to flush the cache.  This is all done under a global lock.  As
the number of CPUs increases, so will the number of vunmaps a scaled
workload will want to perform, and so will the cost of a global TLB flush.
 This gives terrible quadratic scalability characteristics.

Another problem is that the entire vmap subsystem works under a single
lock.  It is a rwlock, but it is actually taken for write in all the fast
paths, and the read locking would likely never be run concurrently anyway,
so it's just pointless.

This is a rewrite of vmap subsystem to solve those problems.  The existing
vmalloc API is implemented on top of the rewritten subsystem.

The TLB flushing problem is solved by using lazy TLB unmapping.  vmap
addresses do not have to be flushed immediately when they are vunmapped,
because the kernel will not reuse them again (would be a use-after-free)
until they are reallocated.  So the addresses aren't allocated again until
a subsequent TLB flush.  A single TLB flush then can flush multiple
vunmaps from each CPU.

XEN and PAT and such do not like deferred TLB flushing because they can't
always handle multiple aliasing virtual addresses to a physical address.
They now call vm_unmap_aliases() in order to flush any deferred mappings.
That call is very expensive (well, actually not a lot more expensive than
a single vunmap under the old scheme), however it should be OK if not
called too often.

The virtual memory extent information is stored in an rbtree rather than a
linked list to improve the algorithmic scalability.

There is a per-CPU allocator for small vmaps, which amortizes or avoids
global locking.

To use the per-CPU interface, the vm_map_ram / vm_unmap_ram interfaces
must be used in place of vmap and vunmap.  Vmalloc does not use these
interfaces at the moment, so it will not be quite so scalable (although it
will use lazy TLB flushing).

As a quick test of performance, I ran a test that loops in the kernel,
linearly mapping then touching then unmapping 4 pages.  Different numbers
of tests were run in parallel on an 4 core, 2 socket opteron.  Results are
in nanoseconds per map+touch+unmap.

threads           vanilla         vmap rewrite
1                 14700           2900
2                 33600           3000
4                 49500           2800
8                 70631           2900

So with a 8 cores, the rewritten version is already 25x faster.

In a slightly more realistic test (although with an older and less
scalable version of the patch), I ripped the not-very-good vunmap batching
code out of XFS, and implemented the large buffer mapping with vm_map_ram
and vm_unmap_ram...  along with a couple of other tricks, I was able to
speed up a large directory workload by 20x on a 64 CPU system.  I believe
vmap/vunmap is actually sped up a lot more than 20x on such a system, but
I'm running into other locks now.  vmap is pretty well blown off the
profiles.

Tim Bird ca538f6bbe tracing/fastboot: add better resolution to initcall debug/tracing
Change the time resolution for initcall_debug to microseconds, from
milliseconds.  This is handy to determine which initcalls you want to work
on for faster booting.

One one of my test machines, over 90% of the initcalls are less than a
millisecond and (without this patch) these are all reported as 0 msecs.
Working on the 900 us ones is more important than the 4 us ones.

With 'quiet' on the kernel command line, this adds no significant overhead
to kernel boot time.

Frederic Weisbecker 5601020feb tracing/fastboot: get the initcall name before it disappears
After some initcall traces, some initcall names may be inconsistent.
That's because these functions will disappear from the .init section
and also their name from the symbols table.

So we have to copy the name of the function in a buffer large enough
during the trace appending. It is not costly for the ring_buffer because
the number of initcall entries is commonly not really large.

Steven Rostedt 68bf21aa15 ftrace: mcount call site on boot nops core
This is the infrastructure to the converting the mcount call sites
recorded by the __mcount_loc section into nops on boot. It also allows
for using these sites to enable tracing as normal. When the __mcount_loc
section is used, the "ftraced" kernel thread is disabled.

This uses the current infrastructure to record the mcount call sites
as well as convert them to nops. The mcount function is kept as a stub
on boot up and not converted to the ftrace_record_ip function. We use the
ftrace_record_ip to only record from the table.

This patch does not handle modules. That comes with a later patch.

Arjan van de Ven 59f9415ffb modules: extend initcall_debug functionality to the module loader
The kernel has this really nice facility where if you put "initcall_debug"
on the kernel commandline, it'll print which function it's going to
execute just before calling an initcall, and then after the call completes
it will

1) print if it had an error code

2) checks for a few simple bugs (like leaving irqs off)
and

3) print how long the init call took in milliseconds.

While trying to optimize the boot speed of my laptop, I have been loving
number 3 to figure out what to optimize...  ...  and then I wished that
the same thing was done for module loading.

This patch makes the module loader use this exact same functionality; it's
a logical extension in my view (since modules are just sort of late
binding initcalls anyway) and so far I've found it quite useful in finding
where things are too slow in my boot.

init/main.c:636: warning: passing argument 1 of `virt_to_phys' makes pointer from integer without a cast

For now, kill the warning by explicitly casting initrd_start to `void *', as
that's the type it should really be.

Added early initcall (pre-SMP) support, using an identical interface to
that of regular initcalls.  Functions called from do_pre_smp_initcalls()
could be converted to use this cleaner interface.

This is required by CPU hotplug, because early users have to register
notifiers before going SMP.  One such CPU hotplug user is the relay
interface with buffer-only channels, which needs to register such a
notifier, to be usable in early code.  This in turn is used by kmemtrace.

Geert Uytterhoeven fb6624ebd9 initrd: Fix virtual/physical mix-up in overwrite test
On recent kernels, I get the following error when using an initrd:

| initrd overwritten (0x00b78000 < 0x07668000) - disabling it.

My Amiga 4000 has 12 MiB of RAM at physical address 0x07400000 (virtual
0x00000000).
The initrd is located at the end of RAM: 0x00b78000 - 0x00c00000 (virtual).
The overwrite test compares the (virtual) initrd location to the (physical)
first available memory location, which fails.

This patch converts initrd_start to a page frame number, so it can safely be
compared with min_low_pfn.

Before the introduction of discontiguous memory support on m68k
(12d810c1b8), min_low_pfn was just left
untouched by the m68k-specific code (zero, I guess), and everything worked
fine.

Max Krasnyansky e761b77252 cpu hotplug, sched: Introduce cpu_active_map and redo sched domain managment (take 2)
This is based on Linus' idea of creating cpu_active_map that prevents
scheduler load balancer from migrating tasks to the cpu that is going
down.

It allows us to simplify domain management code and avoid unecessary
domain rebuilds during cpu hotplug event handling.

Please ignore the cpusets part for now. It needs some more work in order
to avoid crazy lock nesting. Although I did simplfy and unify domain
reinitialization logic. We now simply call partition_sched_domains() in
all the cases. This means that we're using exact same code paths as in
cpusets case and hence the test below cover cpusets too.
Cpuset changes to make rebuild_sched_domains() callable from various
contexts are in the separate patch (right next after this one).

This not only boots but also easily handles
	while true; do make clean; make -j 8; done
and
	while true; do on-off-cpu 1; done
at the same time.
(on-off-cpu 1 simple does echo 0/1 > /sys/.../cpu1/online thing).

Suprisingly the box (dual-core Core2) is quite usable. In fact I'm typing
this on right now in gnome-terminal and things are moving just fine.

Also this is running with most of the debug features enabled (lockdep,
mutex, etc) no BUG_ONs or lockdep complaints so far.

I believe I addressed all of the Dmitry's comments for original Linus'
version. I changed both fair and rt balancer to mask out non-active cpus.
And replaced cpu_is_offline() with !cpu_active() in the main scheduler
code where it made sense (to me).

Paul E. McKenney 4446a36ff8 rcu: add call_rcu_sched()
Fourth cut of patch to provide the call_rcu_sched().  This is again to
synchronize_sched() as call_rcu() is to synchronize_rcu().

Should be fine for experimental and -rt use, but not ready for inclusion.
With some luck, I will be able to tell Andrew to come out of hiding on
the next round.

Passes multi-day rcutorture sessions with concurrent CPU hotplugging.

Fixes since the first version include a bug that could result in
indefinite blocking (spotted by Gautham Shenoy), better resiliency
against CPU-hotplug operations, and other minor fixes.

Fixes since the second version include reworking grace-period detection
to avoid deadlocks that could happen when running concurrently with
CPU hotplug, adding Mathieu's fix to avoid the softlockup messages,
as well as Mathieu's fix to allow use earlier in boot.

Fixes since the third version include a wrong-CPU bug spotted by
Andrew, getting rid of the obsolete synchronize_kernel API that somehow
snuck back in, merging spin_unlock() and local_irq_restore() in a
few places, commenting the code that checks for quiescent states based
on interrupting from user-mode execution or the idle loop, removing
some inline attributes, and some code-style changes.

Known/suspected shortcomings:

o	I still do not entirely trust the sleep/wakeup logic.  Next step
	will be to use a private snapshot of the CPU online mask in
	rcu_sched_grace_period() -- if the CPU wasn't there at the start
	of the grace period, we don't need to hear from it.  And the
	bit about accounting for changes in online CPUs inside of
	rcu_sched_grace_period() is ugly anyway.

o	It might be good for rcu_sched_grace_period() to invoke
	resched_cpu() when a given CPU wasn't responding quickly,
	but resched_cpu() is declared static...

This patch also fixes a long-standing bug in the earlier preemptable-RCU
implementation of synchronize_rcu() that could result in loss of
concurrent external changes to a task's CPU affinity mask.  I still cannot
remember who reported this...

ppc64 use descriptors for function pointers and fetches the actual
address from there).

So don't make the argument be a 'unsigned long' and force everybody to
add a cast.

Peter Zijlstra 3e51f33fcc sched: add optional support for CONFIG_HAVE_UNSTABLE_SCHED_CLOCK
this replaces the rq->clock stuff (and possibly cpu_clock()).

 - architectures that have an 'imperfect' hardware clock can set
   CONFIG_HAVE_UNSTABLE_SCHED_CLOCK

 - the 'jiffie' window might be superfulous when we update tick_gtod
   before the __update_sched_clock() call in sched_clock_tick()

 - cpu_clock() might be implemented as:

     sched_clock_cpu(smp_processor_id())

   if the accuracy proves good enough - how far can TSC drift in a
   single jiffie when considering the filtering and idle hooks?

Thomas Gleixner 3ac7fe5a4a infrastructure to debug (dynamic) objects
We can see an ever repeating problem pattern with objects of any kind in the
kernel:

1) freeing of active objects
2) reinitialization of active objects

Both problems can be hard to debug because the crash happens at a point where
we have no chance to decode the root cause anymore.  One problem spot are
kernel timers, where the detection of the problem often happens in interrupt
context and usually causes the machine to panic.

While working on a timer related bug report I had to hack specialized code
into the timer subsystem to get a reasonable hint for the root cause.  This
debug hack was fine for temporary use, but far from a mergeable solution due
to the intrusiveness into the timer code.

The code further lacked the ability to detect and report the root cause
instantly and keep the system operational.

Keeping the system operational is important to get hold of the debug
information without special debugging aids like serial consoles and special
knowledge of the bug reporter.

The problems described above are not restricted to timers, but timers tend to
expose it usually in a full system crash.  Other objects are less explosive,
but the symptoms caused by such mistakes can be even harder to debug.

Instead of creating specialized debugging code for the timer subsystem a
generic infrastructure is created which allows developers to verify their code
and provides an easy to enable debug facility for users in case of trouble.

The debugobjects core code keeps track of operations on static and dynamic
objects by inserting them into a hashed list and sanity checking them on
object operations and provides additional checks whenever kernel memory is
freed.

The tracked object operations are:
- initializing an object
- adding an object to a subsystem list
- deleting an object from a subsystem list

Each operation is sanity checked before the operation is executed and the
subsystem specific code can provide a fixup function which allows to prevent
the damage of the operation.  When the sanity check triggers a warning message
and a stack trace is printed.

The list of operations can be extended if the need arises.  For now it's
limited to the requirements of the first user (timers).

The core code enqueues the objects into hash buckets.  The hash index is
generated from the address of the object to simplify the lookup for the check
on kfree/vfree.  Each bucket has it's own spinlock to avoid contention on a
global lock.

The debug code can be compiled in without being active.  The runtime overhead
is minimal and could be optimized by asm alternatives.  A kernel command line
option enables the debugging code.

Thanks to Ingo Molnar for review, suggestions and cleanup patches.

Oleg Nesterov fae5fa44f1 signals: fix /sbin/init protection from unwanted signals
The global init has a lot of long standing problems with the unhandled fatal
signals.

	- The "is_global_init(current)" check in get_signal_to_deliver()
	  protects only the main thread. Sub-thread can dequee the fatal
	  signal and shutdown the whole thread group except the main thread.
	  If it dequeues SIGSTOP /sbin/init will be stopped, this is not
	  right too. Note that we can't use is_global_init(->group_leader),
	  this breaks exec and this can't solve other problems we have.

	- Even if afterwards ignored, the fatal signals sets SIGNAL_GROUP_EXIT
	  on delivery. This breaks exec, has other bad implications, and this
	  is just wrong.

Introduce the new SIGNAL_UNKILLABLE flag to fix these problems.  It also helps
to solve some other problems addressed by the subsequent patches.

Currently we use this flag for the global init only, but it could also be used
by kthreads and (perhaps) by the sub-namespace inits.

Balbir Singh cf475ad28a cgroups: add an owner to the mm_struct
Remove the mem_cgroup member from mm_struct and instead adds an owner.

This approach was suggested by Paul Menage.  The advantage of this approach
is that, once the mm->owner is known, using the subsystem id, the cgroup
can be determined.  It also allows several control groups that are
virtually grouped by mm_struct, to exist independent of the memory
controller i.e., without adding mem_cgroup's for each controller, to
mm_struct.

A new config option CONFIG_MM_OWNER is added and the memory resource
controller selects this config option.

This patch also adds cgroup callbacks to notify subsystems when mm->owner
changes.  The mm_cgroup_changed callback is called with the task_lock() of
the new task held and is called just prior to changing the mm->owner.

I am indebted to Paul Menage for the several reviews of this patchset and
helping me make it lighter and simpler.

This patch was tested on a powerpc box, it was compiled with both the
MM_OWNER config turned on and off.

After the thread group leader exits, it's moved to init_css_state by
cgroup_exit(), thus all future charges from runnings threads would be
redirected to the init_css_set's subsystem.

This essentially reverts commit 71fc47a9ad
("ACPI: basic initramfs DSDT override support"), because the code simply

It did ugly things to the init sequence to populate the rootfs image
early, but that just ended up showing other problems with the whole
approach.  The fact is, the VFS layer simply isn't initialized this
early, and the relevant ACPI code should either run much later, or this
shouldn't be done at all.

For 2.6.25, we'll just pick the latter option.  We can revisit this
concept later if necessary.

On VMs implemented using JITs that cache translated code changing the lock
prefixes is a quite costly operation that forces the JIT to throw away and
retranslate a lot of code.

Previously a SMP kernel would rewrite the locks once for each CPU which
is quite unnecessary. This patch changes the code to never switch at boot in
 the normal case (SMP kernel booting with >1 CPU) or only once for SMP kernel
on UP.

This makes a significant difference in boot up performance on AMD SimNow!
Also I expect it to be a little faster on native systems too because a smp
switch does a lot of text_poke()s which each synchronize the pipeline.

Paul Menage ddbcc7e8e5 Task Control Groups: basic task cgroup framework
Generic Process Control Groups
--------------------------

There have recently been various proposals floating around for
resource management/accounting and other task grouping subsystems in
the kernel, including ResGroups, User BeanCounters, NSProxy
cgroups, and others.  These all need the basic abstraction of being
able to group together multiple processes in an aggregate, in order to
track/limit the resources permitted to those processes, or control
other behaviour of the processes, and all implement this grouping in
different ways.

This patchset provides a framework for tracking and grouping processes
into arbitrary "cgroups" and assigning arbitrary state to those
groupings, in order to control the behaviour of the cgroup as an
aggregate.

The intention is that the various resource management and
virtualization/cgroup efforts can also become task cgroup
clients, with the result that:

- the userspace APIs are (somewhat) normalised

- it's easier to test e.g. the ResGroups CPU controller in
 conjunction with the BeanCounters memory controller, or use either of
them as the resource-control portion of a virtual server system.

- the additional kernel footprint of any of the competing resource
 management systems is substantially reduced, since it doesn't need
 to provide process grouping/containment, hence improving their
 chances of getting into the kernel

This patch:

Add the main task cgroups framework - the cgroup filesystem, and the

Hugh Dickins 62e6f1e8bb fix maxcpus=1 oops in show_stat()
Alexey Dobriyan reports that maxcpus=1 is still broken in 2.6.23-rc4:
if CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU is not set, x86_64 bootup oopses in show_stat() -
for_each_possible_cpu accesses a per-cpu area which was never set up.

Alexey identified commit 61ec7567db
(ACPI: boot correctly with "nosmp" or "maxcpus=0") as the origin;
but it's not really to blame, just exposes a bug in 2.6.23-rc1's commit
8b3b295502 (Especially when !CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU,
avoid needlessy allocating resources for CPUs that can never become available).

rc1's test for max_cpus < 2 in start_kernel() wasn't working because
max_cpus was still NR_CPUS at that point: until rc4 moved the maxcpus
parsing earlier.  Now it sets cpu_possible_map to 1 before allocating
all possible per-cpu areas; then smp_init() expands cpu_possible_map
to cpu_present_map (0xf in my case) later on.

rc1's commit has good intentions, but expects cpu_present_map to be
limited by maxcpus, which is only the case on i386.  cpus_and(possible,
possible,present) might be good, but needs an audit of cpu_present_map
uses - there may well be assumptions that any cpu present is possible.

So stay safe for now and just revert those #ifndef CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU
optimizations in rc1's commit.

Hugh Dickins 8134097717 fix maxcpus=N parsing
Commit 61ec7567db ('ACPI: boot correctly
with "nosmp" or "maxcpus=0"') broke 'maxcpus=' handling on x86[-64].

maxcpus=N is now having no effect on x86_64, and freezing bootup on i386
(because of inconsistency with the separate maxcpus parsing down in
arch/i386, I guess).  That's because early_param parsing is a little
different from __setup parsing, and needs the "=" omitted: then it seems
to work as the original commit intended (no mention of IO-APIC in
/proc/interrupts when maxcpus=0).

Len Brown 61ec7567db ACPI: boot correctly with "nosmp" or "maxcpus=0"
In MPS mode, "nosmp" and "maxcpus=0" boot a UP kernel with IOAPIC disabled.
However, in ACPI mode, these parameters didn't completely disable
the IO APIC initialization code and boot failed.

init/main.c:
	Disable the IO_APIC if "nosmp" or "maxcpus=0"
	undefine disable_ioapic_setup() when it doesn't apply.

i386:
	delete ioapic_setup(), it was a duplicate of parse_noapic()
	delete undefinition of disable_ioapic_setup()

x86_64:
	rename disable_ioapic_setup() to parse_noapic() to match i386
	define disable_ioapic_setup() in header to match i386

Yinghai Lu 18a8bd949d serial: convert early_uart to earlycon for 8250
Beacuse SERIAL_PORT_DFNS is removed from include/asm-i386/serial.h and
include/asm-x86_64/serial.h.  the serial8250_ports need to be probed late in
serial initializing stage.  the console_init=>serial8250_console_init=>
register_console=>serial8250_console_setup will return -ENDEV, and console
ttyS0 can not be enabled at that time.  need to wait till uart_add_one_port in
drivers/serial/serial_core.c to call register_console to get console ttyS0.
that is too late.

Make early_uart to use early_param, so uart console can be used earlier.  Make
it to be bootconsole with CON_BOOT flag, so can use console handover feature.
and it will switch to corresponding normal serial console automatically.

new command line will be:
	console=uart8250,io,0x3f8,9600n8
	console=uart8250,mmio,0xff5e0000,115200n8
or
	earlycon=uart8250,io,0x3f8,9600n8
	earlycon=uart8250,mmio,0xff5e0000,115200n8

it will print in very early stage:
	Early serial console at I/O port 0x3f8 (options '9600n8')
	console [uart0] enabled
later for console it will print:
	console handover: boot [uart0] -> real [ttyS0]

Eric W. Biederman 73c279927f kthread: don't depend on work queues
Currently there is a circular reference between work queue initialization
and kthread initialization.  This prevents the kthread infrastructure from
initializing until after work queues have been initialized.

We want the properties of tasks created with kthread_create to be as close
as possible to the init_task and to not be contaminated by user processes.
The later we start our kthreadd that creates these tasks the harder it is
to avoid contamination from user processes and the more of a mess we have
to clean up because the defaults have changed on us.

So this patch modifies the kthread support to not use work queues but to
instead use a simple list of structures, and to have kthreadd start from
init_task immediately after our kernel thread that execs /sbin/init.

By being a true child of init_task we only have to change those process
settings that we want to have different from init_task, such as our process
name, the cpus that are allowed, blocking all signals and setting SIGCHLD
to SIG_IGN so that all of our children are reaped automatically.

By being a true child of init_task we also naturally get our ppid set to 0
and do not wind up as a child of PID == 1.  Ensuring that tasks generated
by kthread_create will not slow down the functioning of the wait family of
functions.

Christoph Lameter 476f35348e Safer nr_node_ids and nr_node_ids determination and initial values
The nr_cpu_ids value is currently only calculated in smp_init.  However, it
may be needed before (SLUB needs it on kmem_cache_init!) and other kernel
components may also want to allocate dynamically sized per cpu array before
smp_init.  So move the determination of possible cpus into sched_init()
where we already loop over all possible cpus early in boot.

Also initialize both nr_node_ids and nr_cpu_ids with the highest value they
could take.  If we have accidental users before these values are determined
then the current valud of 0 may cause too small per cpu and per node arrays
to be allocated.  If it is set to the maximum possible then we only waste
some memory for early boot users.

We frequently need the maximum number of possible processors in order to
allocate arrays for all processors.  So far this was done using
highest_possible_processor_id().  However, we do need the number of
processors not the highest id.  Moreover the number was so far dynamically
calculated on each invokation.  The number of possible processors does not
change when the system is running.  We can therefore calculate that number
once.

Eric W. Biederman 77b14db502 [PATCH] sysctl: reimplement the sysctl proc support
With this change the sysctl inodes can be cached and nothing needs to be done
when removing a sysctl table.

For a cost of 2K code we will save about 4K of static tables (when we remove
de from ctl_table) and 70K in proc_dir_entries that we will not allocate, or
about half that on a 32bit arch.

The speed feels about the same, even though we can now cache the sysctl
dentries :(

We get the core advantage that we don't need to have a 1 to 1 mapping between
ctl table entries and proc files.  Making it possible to have /proc/sys vary
depending on the namespace you are in.  The currently merged namespaces don't
have an issue here but the network namespace under /proc/sys/net needs to have
different directories depending on which network adapters are visible.  By
simply being a cache different directories being visible depending on who you
are is trivial to implement.
