| * m68k: rename global variable vmalloc_end to m68k_vmalloc_endTejun Heo2009-12-09
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | On SUN3, m68k defines macro VMALLOC_END as unsigned long variable vmalloc_end which is adjusted from mmu_emu_init(). This becomes problematic if a local variables vmalloc_end is defined in some function (not very unlikely) and VMALLOC_END is used in the function - the function thinks its referencing the global VMALLOC_END value but would be referencing its own local vmalloc_end variable. Rename the global variable to m68k_vmlloc_end which is much less likely to be used as local variable name.

| | * percpu: Fix kdump failure if booted with percpu_alloc=pageVivek Goyal2009-11-25
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | o kdump functionality reserves a per cpu area at boot time and exports the physical address of that area to user space through sys interface. This area stores some dump related information like cpu register states etc at the time of crash. o We were assuming that per cpu area always come from linearly mapped meory region and using __pa() to determine physical address. With percpu_alloc=page, per cpu area can come from vmalloc region also and __pa() breaks. o This patch implments a new function to convert per cpu address to physical address. Before the patch, crash_notes addresses looked as follows. cpu0 60fffff49800 cpu1 60fffff60800 cpu2 60fffff77800 These are bogus phsyical addresses. After the patch, address are following. cpu0 13eb44000 cpu1 13eb43000 cpu2 13eb42000 cpu3 13eb41000 These look fine. I got 4G of memory and /proc/iomem tell me following. 100000000-13fffffff : System RAM tj: * added missing asm/io.h include reported by Stephen Rothwell * repositioned per_cpu_ptr_phys() in percpu.c and added comment.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch introduces two things: First this_cpu_ptr and then per cpu atomic operations. this_cpu_ptr ------------ A common operation when dealing with cpu data is to get the instance of the cpu data associated with the currently executing processor. This can be optimized by this_cpu_ptr(xx) = per_cpu_ptr(xx, smp_processor_id). The problem with per_cpu_ptr(x, smp_processor_id) is that it requires an array lookup to find the offset for the cpu. Processors typically have the offset for the current cpu area in some kind of (arch dependent) efficiently accessible register or memory location. We can use that instead of doing the array lookup to speed up the determination of the address of the percpu variable. This is particularly significant because these lookups occur in performance critical paths of the core kernel. this_cpu_ptr() can avoid memory accesses and this_cpu_ptr comes in two flavors. The preemption context matters since we are referring the the currently executing processor. In many cases we must insure that the processor does not change while a code segment is executed. __this_cpu_ptr -> Do not check for preemption context this_cpu_ptr -> Check preemption context The parameter to these operations is a per cpu pointer. This can be the address of a statically defined per cpu variable (&per_cpu_var(xxx)) or the address of a per cpu variable allocated with the per cpu allocator. per cpu atomic operations: this_cpu_*(var, val) ----------------------------------------------- this_cpu_* operations (like this_cpu_add(struct->y, value) operate on abitrary scalars that are members of structures allocated with the new per cpu allocator. They can also operate on static per_cpu variables if they are passed to per_cpu_var() (See patch to use this_cpu_* operations for vm statistics). These operations are guaranteed to be atomic vs preemption when modifying the scalar. The calculation of the per cpu offset is also guaranteed to be atomic at the same time. This means that a this_cpu_* operation can be safely used to modify a per cpu variable in a context where interrupts are enabled and preemption is allowed. Many architectures can perform such a per cpu atomic operation with a single instruction. Note that the atomicity here is different from regular atomic operations. Atomicity is only guaranteed for data accessed from the currently executing processor. Modifications from other processors are still possible. There must be other guarantees that the per cpu data is not modified from another processor when using these instruction. The per cpu atomicity is created by the fact that the processor either executes and instruction or not. Embedded in the instruction is the relocation of the per cpu address to the are reserved for the current processor and the RMW action. Therefore interrupts or preemption cannot occur in the mids of this processing. Generic fallback functions are used if an arch does not define optimized this_cpu operations. The functions come also come in the two flavors used for this_cpu_ptr(). The firstparameter is a scalar that is a member of a structure allocated through allocpercpu or a per cpu variable (use per_cpu_var(xxx)). The operations are similar to what percpu_add() and friends do. this_cpu_read(scalar) this_cpu_write(scalar, value) this_cpu_add(scale, value) this_cpu_sub(scalar, value) this_cpu_inc(scalar) this_cpu_dec(scalar) this_cpu_and(scalar, value) this_cpu_or(scalar, value) this_cpu_xor(scalar, value) Arch code can override the generic functions and provide optimized atomic per cpu operations. These atomic operations must provide both the relocation (x86 does it through a segment override) and the operation on the data in a single instruction. Otherwise preempt needs to be disabled and there is no gain from providing arch implementations. A third variant is provided prefixed by irqsafe_. These variants are safe against hardware interrupts on the *same* processor (all per cpu atomic primitives are *always* *only* providing safety for code running on the *same* processor!). The increment needs to be implemented by the hardware in such a way that it is a single RMW instruction that is either processed before or after an interrupt. cc: David Howells <dhowells@redhat.com> cc: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu> cc: Rusty Russell <rusty@rustcorp.com.au> cc: Eric Dumazet <dada1@cosmosbay.com> Signed-off-by: Christoph Lameter <cl@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org>

| * | | ia64: convert to dynamic percpu allocatorTejun Heo2009-10-02
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Unlike other archs, ia64 reserves space for percpu areas during early memory initialization. These areas occupy a contiguous region indexed by cpu number on contiguous memory model or are grouped by node on discontiguous memory model. As allocation and initialization are done by the arch code, all that setup_per_cpu_areas() needs to do is communicating the determined layout to the percpu allocator. This patch implements setup_per_cpu_areas() for both contig and discontig memory models and drops HAVE_LEGACY_PER_CPU_AREA. Please note that for contig model, the allocation itself is modified only to allocate for possible cpus instead of NR_CPUS. As dynamic percpu allocator can handle non-direct mapping, there's no reason to allocate memory for cpus which aren't possible.

| * | | ia64: allocate percpu area for cpu0 like percpu areas for other cpusTejun Heo2009-10-02

However, this doesn't guarantee that the area will be on the same node as cpu0 and the percpu area for cpu0 ends up very far away from percpu areas for other cpus which cause problems for congruent percpu allocator. This patch makes percpu area initialization allocate percpu area for cpu0 like any other cpus and copy it from __cpu0_per_cpu which now resides in the __init area. This means that for cpu0, percpu area is first setup at __cpu0_per_cpu early by head.S and then moved to an area in the linear mapping during memory initialization and it's not allowed to take a pointer to percpu variables between head.S and memory initialization.

Reorganize setup_arch() and acpi init functions such that, * CPU information is printed after LAPIC entries are parsed in early_acpi_boot_init(). * smp_build_cpu_map() is called by setup_arch() instead of acpi functions. * smp_build_cpu_map() is called once all CPU related information is available before memory is initialized. This is primarily to allow find_memory() to use cpu maps but is also a general cleanup. Please note that with this change, the somewhat ad-hoc early_cpu_possible_map defined and used for NUMA configurations is probably unnecessary. Something to clean up another day.

| * | | ia64: don't alias VMALLOC_END to vmalloc_endTejun Heo2009-10-02

This becomes probnlematic if a local variables vmalloc_end is defined in some function (not very unlikely) and VMALLOC_END is used in the function - the function thinks its referencing the global VMALLOC_END value but would be referencing its own local vmalloc_end variable. There's no reason VMALLOC_END should be a macro. Just define it as an unsigned long variable if CONFIG_VIRTUAL_MEM_MAP is set to avoid nasty surprises.
