* hugetlb: clean up and update huge pages documentationLee Schermerhorn2009-09-22
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Attempt to clarify huge page administration and usage, and updates the doucmentation to mention the balancing of huge pages across nodes when allocating and freeing.

* hugetlb: use free_pool_huge_page() to return unused surplus pagesLee Schermerhorn2009-09-22
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Use the [modified] free_pool_huge_page() function to return unused surplus pages. This will help keep huge pages balanced across nodes between freeing of unused surplus pages and freeing of persistent huge pages [from set_max_huge_pages] by using the same node id "cursor". It also eliminates some code duplication.

* hugetlb: balance freeing of huge pages across nodesLee Schermerhorn2009-09-22
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Free huges pages from nodes in round robin fashion in an attempt to keep [persistent a.k.a static] hugepages balanced across nodes New function free_pool_huge_page() is modeled on and performs roughly the inverse of alloc_fresh_huge_page(). Replaces dequeue_huge_page() which now has no callers, so this patch removes it. Helper function hstate_next_node_to_free() uses new hstate member next_to_free_nid to distribute "frees" across all nodes with huge pages.

* memory hotplug: migrate swap cache pageShaohua Li2009-09-22
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | In test, some pages in swap-cache can't be migrated, as they aren't rmap. unmap_and_move() ignores swap-cache page which is just read in and hasn't rmap (see the comments in the code), but swap_aops provides .migratepage. Better to migrate such pages instead of ignore them.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | Pages on movable zone have two types, MIGRATE_MOVABLE and MIGRATE_RESERVE, both them can be movable, because only movable memory allocation can get pages from movable zone.

* memory hotplug: exclude isolated page from pco page allocShaohua Li2009-09-22
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Pages marked as isolated should not be allocated again. If such pages reside in pcp list, they can be allocated too, so there is a ping-pong memory offline frees some pages to pcp list and the pages get allocated and then memory offline frees them again, this loop will happen again and again. This should have no impact in normal code path, because in normal code path, pages in pcp list aren't isolated, and below loop will break in the first entry.

| * perf: Do the big rename: Performance Counters -> Performance EventsIngo Molnar2009-09-21
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Bye-bye Performance Counters, welcome Performance Events! In the past few months the perfcounters subsystem has grown out its initial role of counting hardware events, and has become (and is becoming) a much broader generic event enumeration, reporting, logging, monitoring, analysis facility. Naming its core object 'perf_counter' and naming the subsystem 'perfcounters' has become more and more of a misnomer. With pending code like hw-breakpoints support the 'counter' name is less and less appropriate. All in one, we've decided to rename the subsystem to 'performance events' and to propagate this rename through all fields, variables and API names. (in an ABI compatible fashion) The word 'event' is also a bit shorter than 'counter' - which makes it slightly more convenient to write/handle as well. Thanks goes to Stephane Eranian who first observed this misnomer and suggested a rename. User-space tooling and ABI compatibility is not affected - this patch should be function-invariant. (Also, defconfigs were not touched to keep the size down.) This patch has been generated via the following script: FILES=$(find * -type f | grep -vE 'oprofile|[^K]config') sed -i \ -e 's/PERF_EVENT_/PERF_RECORD_/g' \ -e 's/PERF_COUNTER/PERF_EVENT/g' \ -e 's/perf_counter/perf_event/g' \ -e 's/nb_counters/nb_events/g' \ -e 's/swcounter/swevent/g' \ -e 's/tpcounter_event/tp_event/g' \ $FILES for N in $(find . -name perf_counter.[ch]); do M=$(echo $N | sed 's/perf_counter/perf_event/g') mv $N $M done FILES=$(find . -name perf_event.*) sed -i \ -e 's/COUNTER_MASK/REG_MASK/g' \ -e 's/COUNTER/EVENT/g' \ -e 's/\<event\>/event_id/g' \ -e 's/counter/event/g' \ -e 's/Counter/Event/g' \ $FILES ... to keep it as correct as possible. This script can also be used by anyone who has pending perfcounters patches - it converts a Linux kernel tree over to the new naming. We tried to time this change to the point in time where the amount of pending patches is the smallest: the end of the merge window. Namespace clashes were fixed up in a preparatory patch - and some stylistic fallout will be fixed up in a subsequent patch. ( NOTE: 'counters' are still the proper terminology when we deal with hardware registers - and these sed scripts are a bit over-eager in renaming them. I've undone some of that, but in case there's something left where 'counter' would be better than 'event' we can undo that on an individual basis instead of touching an otherwise nicely automated patch. ) Suggested-by: Stephane Eranian <eranian@google.com> Acked-by: Peter Zijlstra <a.p.zijlstra@chello.nl> Acked-by: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org> Reviewed-by: Arjan van de Ven <arjan@linux.intel.com> Cc: Mike Galbraith <efault@gmx.de> Cc: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com> Cc: Frederic Weisbecker <fweisbec@gmail.com> Cc: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org> Cc: Benjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org> Cc: David Howells <dhowells@redhat.com> Cc: Kyle McMartin <kyle@mcmartin.ca> Cc: Martin Schwidefsky <schwidefsky@de.ibm.com> Cc: "David S.

| * | | rcu: Fix synchronize_rcu() for TREE_PREEMPT_RCUPaul E. McKenney2009-09-17

Fix this by creating an underlying synchronize_sched(). TREE_RCU then redirects synchronize_rcu() to synchronize_sched(), while TREE_PREEMPT_RCU has its own version of synchronize_rcu().

With this change, the quiescent state is instead noted by the outermost rcu_read_unlock() immediately following the first scheduling-clock tick, or, alternatively, by the first subsequent context switch. Therefore, this change also speeds up grace periods. Suggested-by: Josh Triplett <josh@joshtriplett.org> Signed-off-by: Paul E.
