Distros generally (I looked at Debian, RHEL5 and SLES11) seem to
enable CONFIG_HIGHPTE for any x86 configuration which has highmem
enabled. This means that the overhead applies even to machines which
have a fairly modest amount of high memory and which therefore do not
really benefit from allocating PTEs in high memory but still pay the
price of the additional mapping operations.
Running kernbench on a 4G box I found that with CONFIG_HIGHPTE=y but
no actual highptes being allocated there was a reduction in system
time used from 59.737s to 55.9s.
With CONFIG_HIGHPTE=y and highmem PTEs being allocated:
Average Optimal load -j 4 Run (std deviation):
Elapsed Time 175.396 (0.238914)
User Time 515.983 (5.85019)
System Time 59.737 (1.26727)
Percent CPU 263.8 (71.6796)
Context Switches 39989.7 (4672.64)
Sleeps 42617.7 (246.307)
With CONFIG_HIGHPTE=y but with no highmem PTEs being allocated:
Average Optimal load -j 4 Run (std deviation):
Elapsed Time 174.278 (0.831968)
User Time 515.659 (6.07012)
System Time 55.9 (1.07799)
Percent CPU 263.8 (71.266)
Context Switches 39929.6 (4485.13)
Sleeps 42583.7 (373.039)
This patch allows the user to control the allocation of PTEs in
highmem from the command line ("userpte=nohigh") but retains the
status-quo as the default.
It is possible that some simple heuristic could be developed which
allows auto-tuning of this option however I don't have a sufficiently
large machine available to me to perform any particularly meaningful
experiments. We could probably handwave up an argument for a threshold
at 16G of total RAM.
Assuming 768M of lowmem we have 196608 potential lowmem PTE
pages. Each page can map 2M of RAM in a PAE-enabled configuration,
meaning a maximum of 384G of RAM could potentially be mapped using
lowmem PTEs.
Even allowing generous factor of 10 to account for other required
lowmem allocations, generous slop to account for page sharing (which
reduces the total amount of RAM mappable by a given number of PT
pages) and other innacuracies in the estimations it would seem that
even a 32G machine would not have a particularly pressing need for
highmem PTEs. I think 32G could be considered to be at the upper bound
of what might be sensible on a 32 bit machine (although I think in
practice 64G is still supported).
It's seems questionable if HIGHPTE is even a win for any amount of RAM
you would sensibly run a 32 bit kernel on rather than going 64 bit.

The main benefit of using ACPI host bridge window information is that
we can do better resource allocation in systems with multiple host bridges,
e.g., http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=14183
Sometimes we need _CRS information even if we only have one host bridge,
e.g., https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/341681
Most of these systems are relatively new, so this patch turns on
"pci=use_crs" only on machines with a BIOS date of 2008 or newer.

Apparently, some machines may have problems with PCI run-time power
management if MSIs are used for the native PCIe PME signaling. In
particular, on the MSI Wind U-100 PCIe PME interrupts are not
generated by a PCIe root port after a resume from suspend to RAM, if
the system wake-up was triggered by a PME from the device attached to
this port. [It doesn't help to free the interrupt on suspend and
request it back on resume, even if that is done along with disabling
the MSI and re-enabling it, respectively.] However, if INTx
interrupts are used for this purpose on the same machine, everything
works just fine.
For this reason, add a kernel command line switch allowing one to
request that MSIs be not used for the native PCIe PME signaling,
introduce a DMI table allowing us to blacklist machines that need
this switch to be set by default and put the MSI Wind U-100 into this
table.

PCIe native PME detection mechanism is based on interrupts generated
by root ports or event collectors every time a PCIe device sends a
PME message upstream.
Once a PME message has been sent by an endpoint device and received
by its root port (or event collector in the case of root complex
integrated endpoints), the Requester ID from the message header is
registered in the root port's Root Status register. At the same
time, the PME Status bit of the Root Status register is set to
indicate that there's a PME to handle. If PCIe PME interrupt is
enabled for the root port, it generates an interrupt once the PME
Status has been set. After receiving the interrupt, the kernel can
identify the PCIe device that generated the PME using the Requester
ID from the root port's Root Status register. [For details, see PCI
Express Base Specification, Rev. 2.0.]
Implement a driver for the PCIe PME root port service working in
accordance with the above description.
Based on a patch from Shaohua Li <shaohua.li@intel.com>.

Add a model quirk for the NVIDIA based Macmini hardware, aka Macmini 3,1. The
pinout is almost identical to the mb5 quirk, except for no microphone and
the line-in mixer controls being on a different index. Everything works in
2ch mode, but as I am not sure what needs to be changed for 6ch mode, or
whether the Mac Mini's chip supports 6ch mode, I have simply duplicated
the code from the mb5 quirk for the mac mini chmode management. The new
model parameter for this quirk is "macmini3".

On VIVT ARM, when we have multiple shared mappings of the same file
in the same MM, we need to ensure that we have coherency across all
copies. We do this via make_coherent() by making the pages
uncacheable.
This used to work fine, until we allowed highmem with highpte - we
now have a page table which is mapped as required, and is not available
for modification via update_mmu_cache().
Ralf Beache suggested getting rid of the PTE value passed to
update_mmu_cache():
On MIPS update_mmu_cache() calls __update_tlb() which walks pagetables
to construct a pointer to the pte again. Passing a pte_t * is much
more elegant. Maybe we might even replace the pte argument with the
pte_t?
Ben Herrenschmidt would also like the pte pointer for PowerPC:
Passing the ptep in there is exactly what I want. I want that
-instead- of the PTE value, because I have issue on some ppc cases,
for I$/D$ coherency, where set_pte_at() may decide to mask out the
_PAGE_EXEC.
So, pass in the mapped page table pointer into update_mmu_cache(), and
remove the PTE value, updating all implementations and call sites to
suit.

Some glibc versions intentionally create lots of alignment faults in
their gconv code, which if not fixed up, results in segfaults during
boot. This can prevent systems booting properly.
There is no clear hard-configurable default for this; the desired
default depends on the nature of the userspace which is going to be
booted.
So, provide a way for the alignment fault handler to be configured via
the kernel command line.

numa=fake=N specifies the number of fake nodes, N, to partition the
system into and then allocates them by interleaving over physical nodes.
This requires knowledge of the system capacity when attempting to
allocate nodes of a certain size: either very large nodes to benchmark
scalability of code that operates on individual nodes, or very small
nodes to find bugs in the VM.
This patch introduces numa=fake=<size>[MG] so it is possible to specify
the size of each node to allocate. When used, nodes of the size
specified will be allocated and interleaved over the set of physical
nodes.
FAKE_NODE_MIN_SIZE was also moved to the more-appropriate
include/asm/numa_64.h.

On Virtually Indexed architectures (which don't do automatic alias
resolution in their caches), we have to flush via the correct
virtual address to prepare pages for DMA. On some architectures
(like arm) we cannot prevent the CPU from doing data movein along
the alias (and thus giving stale read data), so we not only have to
introduce a flush API to push dirty cache lines out, but also an invalidate
API to kill inconsistent cache lines that may have moved in before
DMA changed the data

Thus, this patch revert it. Fortunately /proc/{pid}/task/{tid}/smaps
provide almost same information. we can use it.
Commit d899bf7b introduced two features:
1) Add the annotattion of [thread stack: xxxx] mark to
/proc/{pid}/task/{tid}/maps.
2) Add StackUsage field to /proc/{pid}/status.
I only revert (2), because I haven't seen (1) cause regression.

The latest version of the Revision Guide for AMD Family 10h Processors
lists two more processor revisions which may be affected by erratum 319.
Change the blacklisting code to correctly detect those processors, by
implementing AMD's recommended algorithm.

some laptop requires SCI_EN being set directly on resume,
or else they hung somewhere in the resume code path.
We already have a blacklist for these laptops but we still need
this option, especially when debugging some suspend/resume problems,
in case there are systems that need this workaround and are not yet
in the blacklist.
