removing memory
We remove the memory like this:
1. lock memory hotplug
2. offline a memory block
3. unlock memory hotplug
4. repeat 1-3 to offline all memory blocks
5. lock memory hotplug
6. remove memory(TODO)
7. unlock memory hotplug
All memory blocks must be offlined before removing memory. But we don't
hold the lock in the whole operation. So we should check whether all
memory blocks are offlined before step6. Otherwise, kernel maybe
panicked.
Offlining a memory block and removing a memory device can be two
different operations. Users can just offline some memory blocks without
removing the memory device. For this purpose, the kernel has held
lock_memory_hotplug() in __offline_pages(). To reuse the code for
memory hot-remove, we repeat step 1-3 to offline all the memory blocks,
repeatedly lock and unlock memory hotplug, but not hold the memory
hotplug lock in the whole operation.

do_mmap_pgoff() rounds up the desired size to the next PAGE_SIZE
multiple, however there was no equivalent code in mm_populate(), which
caused issues.
This could be fixed by introduced the same rounding in mm_populate(),
however I think it's preferable to make do_mmap_pgoff() return populate
as a size rather than as a boolean, so we don't have to duplicate the
size rounding logic in mm_populate().

The vm_populate() code populates user mappings without constantly
holding the mmap_sem. This makes it susceptible to racy userspace
programs: the user mappings may change while vm_populate() is running,
and in this case vm_populate() may end up populating the new mapping
instead of the old one.
In order to reduce the possibility of userspace getting surprised by
this behavior, this change introduces the VM_POPULATE vma flag which
gets set on vmas we want vm_populate() to work on. This way
vm_populate() may still end up populating the new mapping after such a
race, but only if the new mapping is also one that the user has
requested (using MAP_SHARED, MAP_LOCKED or mlock) to be populated.

In find_extend_vma(), we don't need mlock_vma_pages_range() to verify
the vma type - we know we're working with a stack. So, we can call
directly into __mlock_vma_pages_range(), and remove the last
make_pages_present() call site.
Note that we don't use mm_populate() here, so we can't release the
mmap_sem while allocating new stack pages. This is deemed acceptable,
because the stack vmas grow by a bounded number of pages at a time, and
these are anon pages so we don't have to read from disk to populate
them.

After the MAP_POPULATE handling has been moved to mmap_region() call
sites, the only remaining use of the flags argument is to pass the
MAP_NORESERVE flag. This can be just as easily handled by
do_mmap_pgoff(), so do that and remove the mmap_region() flags
parameter.

When creating new mappings using the MAP_POPULATE / MAP_LOCKED flags (or
with MCL_FUTURE in effect), we want to populate the pages within the
newly created vmas. This may take a while as we may have to read pages
from disk, so ideally we want to do this outside of the write-locked
mmap_sem region.
This change introduces mm_populate(), which is used to defer populating
such mappings until after the mmap_sem write lock has been released.
This is implemented as a generalization of the former do_mlock_pages(),
which accomplished the same task but was using during mlock() /
mlockall().

In certain cases (kswapd reclaim, memcg target reclaim), a fixed minimum
amount of pages is scanned from the LRU lists on each iteration, to make
progress.
Do not make this minimum bigger than the respective LRU list size,
however, and save some busy work trying to isolate and reclaim pages
that are not there.
Empty LRU lists are quite common with memory cgroups in NUMA
environments because there exists a set of LRU lists for each zone for
each memory cgroup, while the memory of a single cgroup is expected to
stay on just one node. The number of expected empty LRU lists is thus
memcgs * (nodes - 1) * lru types
Each attempt to reclaim from an empty LRU list does expensive size
comparisons between lists, acquires the zone's lru lock etc. Avoid
that.

Pull x86 mm changes from Peter Anvin:
"This is a huge set of several partly interrelated (and concurrently
developed) changes, which is why the branch history is messier than
one would like.
The *really* big items are two humonguous patchsets mostly developed
by Yinghai Lu at my request, which completely revamps the way we
create initial page tables. In particular, rather than estimating how
much memory we will need for page tables and then build them into that
memory -- a calculation that has shown to be incredibly fragile -- we
now build them (on 64 bits) with the aid of a "pseudo-linear mode" --
a #PF handler which creates temporary page tables on demand.
This has several advantages:
1. It makes it much easier to support things that need access to data
very early (a followon patchset uses this to load microcode way
early in the kernel startup).
2. It allows the kernel and all the kernel data objects to be invoked
from above the 4 GB limit. This allows kdump to work on very large
systems.
3. It greatly reduces the difference between Xen and native (Xen's
equivalent of the #PF handler are the temporary page tables created
by the domain builder), eliminating a bunch of fragile hooks.
The patch series also gets us a bit closer to W^X.
Additional work in this pull is the 64-bit get_user() work which you
were also involved with, and a bunch of cleanups/speedups to
__phys_addr()/__pa()."

smp_call_function_single()
I'm testing swapout workload in a two-socket Xeon machine. The workload
has 10 threads, each thread sequentially accesses separate memory
region. TLB flush overhead is very big in the workload. For each page,
page reclaim need move it from active lru list and then unmap it. Both
need a TLB flush. And this is a multthread workload, TLB flush happens
in 10 CPUs. In X86, TLB flush uses generic smp_call)function. So this
workload stress smp_call_function_many heavily.
Without patch, perf shows:
+ 24.49% [k] generic_smp_call_function_interrupt
- 21.72% [k] _raw_spin_lock
- _raw_spin_lock
+ 79.80% __page_check_address
+ 6.42% generic_smp_call_function_interrupt
+ 3.31% get_swap_page
+ 2.37% free_pcppages_bulk
+ 1.75% handle_pte_fault
+ 1.54% put_super
+ 1.41% grab_super_passive
+ 1.36% __swap_duplicate
+ 0.68% blk_flush_plug_list
+ 0.62% swap_info_get
+ 6.55% [k] flush_tlb_func
+ 6.46% [k] smp_call_function_many
+ 5.09% [k] call_function_interrupt
+ 4.75% [k] default_send_IPI_mask_sequence_phys
+ 2.18% [k] find_next_bit
swapout throughput is around 1300M/s.
With the patch, perf shows:
- 27.23% [k] _raw_spin_lock
- _raw_spin_lock
+ 80.53% __page_check_address
+ 8.39% generic_smp_call_function_single_interrupt
+ 2.44% get_swap_page
+ 1.76% free_pcppages_bulk
+ 1.40% handle_pte_fault
+ 1.15% __swap_duplicate
+ 1.05% put_super
+ 0.98% grab_super_passive
+ 0.86% blk_flush_plug_list
+ 0.57% swap_info_get
+ 8.25% [k] default_send_IPI_mask_sequence_phys
+ 7.55% [k] call_function_interrupt
+ 7.47% [k] smp_call_function_many
+ 7.25% [k] flush_tlb_func
+ 3.81% [k] _raw_spin_lock_irqsave
+ 3.78% [k] generic_smp_call_function_single_interrupt
swapout throughput is around 1400M/s. So there is around a 7%
improvement, and total cpu utilization doesn't change.
Without the patch, cfd_data is shared by all CPUs.
generic_smp_call_function_interrupt does read/write cfd_data several times
which will create a lot of cache ping-pong. With the patch, the data
becomes per-cpu. The ping-pong is avoided. And from the perf data, this
doesn't make call_single_queue lock contend.
Next step is to remove generic_smp_call_function_interrupt() from arch
code.

This provides a band-aid to provide stable page writes on jbd without
needing to backport the fixed locking and page writeback bit handling
schemes of jbd2. The band-aid works by using bounce buffers to snapshot
page contents instead of waiting.
For those wondering about the ext3 bandage -- fixing the jbd locking
(which was done as part of ext4dev years ago) is a lot of surgery, and
setting PG_writeback on data pages when we actually hold the page lock
dropped ext3 performance by nearly an order of magnitude. If we're
going to migrate iscsi and raid to use stable page writes, the
complaints about high latency will likely return. We might as well
centralize their page snapshotting thing to one place.

Create a helper function to check if a backing device requires stable
page writes and, if so, performs the necessary wait. Then, make it so
that all points in the memory manager that handle making pages writable
use the helper function. This should provide stable page write support
to most filesystems, while eliminating unnecessary waiting for devices
that don't require the feature.
Before this patchset, all filesystems would block, regardless of whether
or not it was necessary. ext3 would wait, but still generate occasional
checksum errors. The network filesystems were left to do their own
thing, so they'd wait too.
After this patchset, all the disk filesystems except ext3 and btrfs will
wait only if the hardware requires it. ext3 (if necessary) snapshots
pages instead of blocking, and btrfs provides its own bdi so the mm will
never wait. Network filesystems haven't been touched, so either they
provide their own stable page guarantees or they don't block at all.
The blocking behavior is back to what it was before 3.0 if you don't
have a disk requiring stable page writes.
Here's the result of using dbench to test latency on ext2:
3.8.0-rc3:
Operation Count AvgLat MaxLat
----------------------------------------
WriteX 109347 0.028 59.817
ReadX 347180 0.004 3.391
Flush 15514 29.828 287.283
Throughput 57.429 MB/sec 4 clients 4 procs max_latency=287.290 ms
3.8.0-rc3 + patches:
WriteX 105556 0.029 4.273
ReadX 335004 0.005 4.112
Flush 14982 30.540 298.634
Throughput 55.4496 MB/sec 4 clients 4 procs max_latency=298.650 ms
As you can see, the maximum write latency drops considerably with this
patch enabled. The other filesystems (ext3/ext4/xfs/btrfs) behave
similarly, but see the cover letter for those results.

This patchset ("stable page writes, part 2") makes some key
modifications to the original 'stable page writes' patchset. First, it
provides creators (devices and filesystems) of a backing_dev_info a flag
that declares whether or not it is necessary to ensure that page
contents cannot change during writeout. It is no longer assumed that
this is true of all devices (which was never true anyway). Second, the
flag is used to relaxed the wait_on_page_writeback calls so that wait
only occurs if the device needs it. Third, it fixes up the remaining
disk-backed filesystems to use this improved conditional-wait logic to
provide stable page writes on those filesystems.
It is hoped that (for people not using checksumming devices, anyway)
this patchset will give back unnecessary performance decreases since the
original stable page write patchset went into 3.0. Sorry about not
fixing it sooner.
Complaints were registered by several people about the long write
latencies introduced by the original stable page write patchset.
Generally speaking, the kernel ought to allocate as little extra memory
as possible to facilitate writeout, but for people who simply cannot
wait, a second page stability strategy is (re)introduced: snapshotting
page contents. The waiting behavior is still the default strategy; to
enable page snapshotting, a superblock flag (MS_SNAP_STABLE) must be
set. This flag is used to bandaid^Henable stable page writeback on
ext3[1], and is not used anywhere else.
Given that there are already a few storage devices and network FSes that
have rolled their own page stability wait/page snapshot code, it would
be nice to move towards consolidating all of these. It seems possible
that iscsi and raid5 may wish to use the new stable page write support
to enable zero-copy writeout.
Thank you to Jan Kara for helping fix a couple more filesystems.
Per Andrew Morton's request, here are the result of using dbench to measure
latencies on ext2:
3.8.0-rc3:
Operation Count AvgLat MaxLat
----------------------------------------
WriteX 109347 0.028 59.817
ReadX 347180 0.004 3.391
Flush 15514 29.828 287.283
Throughput 57.429 MB/sec 4 clients 4 procs max_latency=287.290 ms
3.8.0-rc3 + patches:
WriteX 105556 0.029 4.273
ReadX 335004 0.005 4.112
Flush 14982 30.540 298.634
Throughput 55.4496 MB/sec 4 clients 4 procs max_latency=298.650 ms
As you can see, for ext2 the maximum write latency decreases from ~60ms
on a laptop hard disk to ~4ms. I'm not sure why the flush latencies
increase, though I suspect that being able to dirty pages faster gives
the flusher more work to do.
On ext4, the average write latency decreases as well as all the maximum
latencies:
3.8.0-rc3:
WriteX 85624 0.152 33.078
ReadX 272090 0.010 61.210
Flush 12129 36.219 168.260
Throughput 44.8618 MB/sec 4 clients 4 procs max_latency=168.276 ms
3.8.0-rc3 + patches:
WriteX 86082 0.141 30.928
ReadX 273358 0.010 36.124
Flush 12214 34.800 165.689
Throughput 44.9941 MB/sec 4 clients 4 procs max_latency=165.722 ms
XFS seems to exhibit similar latency improvements as ext2:
3.8.0-rc3:
WriteX 125739 0.028 104.343
ReadX 399070 0.005 4.115
Flush 17851 25.004 131.390
Throughput 66.0024 MB/sec 4 clients 4 procs max_latency=131.406 ms
3.8.0-rc3 + patches:
WriteX 123529 0.028 6.299
ReadX 392434 0.005 4.287
Flush 17549 25.120 188.687
Throughput 64.9113 MB/sec 4 clients 4 procs max_latency=188.704 ms
...and btrfs, just to round things out, also shows some latency
decreases:
3.8.0-rc3:
WriteX 67122 0.083 82.355
ReadX 212719 0.005 2.828
Flush 9547 47.561 147.418
Throughput 35.3391 MB/sec 4 clients 4 procs max_latency=147.433 ms
3.8.0-rc3 + patches:
WriteX 64898 0.101 71.631
ReadX 206673 0.005 7.123
Flush 9190 47.963 219.034
Throughput 34.0795 MB/sec 4 clients 4 procs max_latency=219.044 ms
Before this patchset, all filesystems would block, regardless of whether
or not it was necessary. ext3 would wait, but still generate occasional
checksum errors. The network filesystems were left to do their own
thing, so they'd wait too.
After this patchset, all the disk filesystems except ext3 and btrfs will
wait only if the hardware requires it. ext3 (if necessary) snapshots
pages instead of blocking, and btrfs provides its own bdi so the mm will
never wait. Network filesystems haven't been touched, so either they
provide their own wait code, or they don't block at all. The blocking
behavior is back to what it was before 3.0 if you don't have a disk
requiring stable page writes.
This patchset has been tested on 3.8.0-rc3 on x64 with ext3, ext4, and
xfs. I've spot-checked 3.8.0-rc4 and seem to be getting the same
results as -rc3.
[1] The alternative fixes to ext3 include fixing the locking order and
page bit handling like we did for ext4 (but then why not just use
ext4?), or setting PG_writeback so early that ext3 becomes extremely
slow. I tried that, but the number of write()s I could initiate dropped
by nearly an order of magnitude. That was a bit much even for the
author of the stable page series! :)
This patch:
Creates a per-backing-device flag that tracks whether or not pages must
be held immutable during writeout. Eventually it will be used to waive
wait_for_page_writeback() if nothing requires stable pages.

I recently made the mistake of writing:
foo = lockdep_dereference_protected(..., lockdep_assert_held(...));
which is clearly bogus. If lockdep is disabled in the config this would
cause a compile failure, if it is enabled then it compiles and causes a
puzzling warning about dereferencing without the correct protection.
Wrap the macro in "do { ... } while (0)" to also fail compile for this
when lockdep is enabled.

Add mmp display subsystem to support Marvell MMP display controllers.
This subsystem contains 4 parts:
--fb folder
--core.c
--hw folder
--panel folder
1. fb folder contains implementation of fb. fb get path and overlay
from common interface and operates on these structures.
2. core.c provides common interface for a hardware abstraction. Major
parts of this interface are:
a) Path: path is a output device connected to a panel or HDMI TV. Main
operations of the path is set/get timing/output color. fb operates
output device through path structure.
b) Ovly: Ovly is a buffer shown on the path.
Ovly describes frame buffer and its source/destination size, offset,
input color, buffer address, z-order, and so on. Each fb device maps
to one overlay.
3. hw folder contains implementation of hardware operations defined by
core.c. It registers paths for fb use.
4. panel folder contains implementation of panels. It's connected to
path. Panel drivers would also regiester panels and linked to path
when probe.

Introduce compiletime_assert to compiler.h, which moves the details of
how to break a build and emit an error message for a specific compiler
to the headers where these details should be. Following in the
tradition of the POSIX assert macro, compiletime_assert creates a
build-time error when the supplied condition is *false*.
Next, we add BUILD_BUG_ON_MSG to bug.h which simply wraps
compiletime_assert, inverting the logic, so that it fails when the
condition is *true*, consistent with the language "build bug on." This
macro allows you to specify the error message you want emitted when the
supplied condition is true.
Finally, we remove all other code from bug.h that mucks with these
details (BUILD_BUG & BUILD_BUG_ON), and have them all call
BUILD_BUG_ON_MSG. This not only reduces source code bloat, but also
prevents the possibility of code being changed for one macro and not for
the other (which was previously the case for BUILD_BUG and
BUILD_BUG_ON).
Since __compiletime_error_fallback is now only used in compiler.h, I'm
considering it a private macro and removing the double negation that's
now extraneous.

Prior to the introduction of __attribute__((error("msg"))) in gcc 4.3,
creating compile-time errors required a little trickery.
BUILD_BUG{,_ON} uses this attribute when available to generate
compile-time errors, but also uses the negative-sized array trick for
older compilers, resulting in two error messages in some cases. The
reason it's "some" cases is that as of gcc 4.4, the negative-sized array
will not create an error in some situations, like inline functions.
This patch replaces the negative-sized array code with the new
__compiletime_error_fallback() macro which expands to the same thing
unless the the error attribute is available, in which case it expands to
do{}while(0), resulting in exactly one compile-time error on all
versions of gcc.
Note that we are not changing the negative-sized array code for the
unoptimized version of BUILD_BUG_ON, since it has the potential to catch
problems that would be disabled in later versions of gcc were
__compiletime_error_fallback used. The reason is that that an
unoptimized build can't always remove calls to an error-attributed
function call (like we are using) that should effectively become dead
code if it were optimized. However, using a negative-sized array with a
similar value will not result in an false-positive (error). The only
caveat being that it will also fail to catch valid conditions, which we
should be expecting in an unoptimized build anyway.

Negative sized arrays wont create a compile-time error in some cases
starting with gcc 4.4 (e.g., inlined functions), but gcc 4.3 introduced
the error function attribute that will.
This patch modifies BUILD_BUG_ON to behave like BUILD_BUG already does,
using the error function attribute so that you don't have to build the
entire kernel to discover that you have a problem, and then enjoy trying
to track it down from a link-time error.
Also, we are only including asm/bug.h and then expecting that
linux/compiler.h will eventually be included to define __linktime_error
(used in BUILD_BUG_ON). This patch includes it directly for clarity and
to avoid the possibility of changes in <arch>/*/include/asm/bug.h being
changed or not including linux/compiler.h for some reason.

__linktime_error() does the same thing as __compiletime_error() and is
only used in bug.h. Since the macro defines a function attribute that
will cause a failure at compile-time (not link-time), it makes more sense
to keep __compiletime_error(), which is also neatly mated with
__compiletime_warning().

Using GCC_VERSION reduces complexity, is easier to read and is GCC's

they didn't define it in the first place.) This also makes it easy to

Throughout compiler*.h, many version checks are made. These can be
simplified by using the macro that gcc's documentation recommends.
However, my primary reason for adding this is that I need bug-check
macros that are enabled at certain gcc versions and it's cleaner to use
this macro than the tradition method:
#if __GNUC__ > 4 || (__GNUC__ == 4 && __GNUC_MINOR__ => 2)
If you add patch level, it gets this ugly:
#if __GNUC__ > 4 || (__GNUC__ == 4 && (__GNUC_MINOR__ > 2 || \
__GNUC_MINOR__ == 2 __GNUC_PATCHLEVEL__ >= 1))
As opposed to:
#if GCC_VERSION >= 40201
While having separate headers for gcc 3 & 4 eliminates some of this
verbosity, they can still be cleaned up by this.

Pull sh-mobile pinctrl conversion from Arnd Bergmann:
"This is another cleanup series, containing the move of the Renesas
SH-Mobile pin controller code from arch/arm/mach-shmobile over to the
generic pinctrl subsystem, changing it over to the common interfaces
in the process.
Based on agreement between Olof, Paul Mundt, Linus Walleij and Simon,
we're merging this large branch of pinctrl conversion through arm-soc,
even though it contains the corresponding conversions for arch/sh.
Main reason for this is tight dependencies (that will now mostly be
broken) between the arch/sh and mach-shmobile implementations.
There will be more of this in 3.10 to do device-tree bindings, but
this is the initial conversion."

Pull ARM SoC cleanups from Arnd Bergmann:
"A large number of cleanups, all over the platforms. This is dominated
largely by the Samsung platforms (s3c, s5p, exynos) and a few of the
others moving code out of arch/arm into more appropriate subsystems.
The clocksource and irqchip drivers are now abstracted to the point
where platforms that are already cleaned up do not need to even
specify the driver they use, it can all get configured from the device
tree as we do for normal device drivers. The clocksource changes
basically touch every single platform in the process.
We further clean up the use of platform specific header files here,
with the goal of turning more of the platforms over to being
"multiplatform" enabled, which implies that they cannot expose their
headers to architecture independent code any more.
It is expected that no functional changes are part of the cleanup.
The overall reduction in total code lines is mostly the result of
removing broken and obsolete code."

Pull sound updates from Takashi Iwai:
"The biggest change in this update is the unification of HD-audio codec
parsers. Now the HD-audio codec is parsed in a generic parser code
which is invoked by each HD-audio codec driver.
Some background information is found in David Henningsson's blog
entry:
http://voices.canonical.com/david.henningsson/2013/01/18/upcoming-changes-to-the-intel-hda-drivers/
Other than that, some random updates/fixes like USB-audio and a bunch
of small AoC updates as usual.
Highlights:
- Unification of HD-audio parser code (aka generic parser)
- Support of new Intel HD-audio controller, new IDT codecs
- Fixes for HD-audio HDMI audio hotplug
- Haswell HDMI audio fixup
- Support of Creative CA0132 DSP code
- A few fixes of HDSP driver
- USB-audio fix for Roland A-PRO, M-Audio FT C600
- Support PM for aloop driver (and fixes Oops)
- Compress API updates for gapless playback support
For ASoC part:
- Support for a wider range of hardware in the compressed stream code
- The ability to mute capture streams as well as playback streams
while inactive
- DT support for AK4642, FSI, Samsung I2S and WM8962
- AC'97 support for Tegra
- New driver for max98090, replacing the stub which was there
- A new driver from Dialog
Note that due to dependencies, DTification of DMA support for Samsung
platforms (used only by the and I2S driver and SPI) is merged here as
well."
