| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This outer cache allows to control active ways independently for each CPU, but currently nothing is done for secondary CPUs. In other words, all the ways are locked for secondary CPUs by default. This commit fixes it to fully bring out the performance of this outer cache. There would be two possible ways to achieve this: [1] Each CPU initializes active ways for itself. This can be done via the SSCLPDAWCR register. This is a banked register, so each CPU sees a different instance of the register for its own. [2] The master CPU initializes active ways for all the CPUs. This is available via SSCDAWCARMR(N) registers, where all instances of SSCLPDAWCR are mirrored. They are mapped at the address SSCDAWCARMR + 4 * N, where N is the CPU number. The outer cache frame work does not support a per-CPU init callback. So this commit adopts [2]; the master CPU iterates over possible CPUs setting up SSCDAWCARMR(N) registers.

Since the second kallsyms pass results in an increase of the kernel size, it may result in additional veneers to be emitted, potentially affecting the output of kallsyms itself if these symbols are visible to it, and for that reason, symbols whose names end in '_veneer' are ignored explicitly. However, when building Thumb2 kernels, such veneers are named differently if they also incur a mode switch, and since they are not filtered by kallsyms, they may cause the build to fail. So filter symbols whose names end in '_from_arm' or '_from_thumb' as well.

Since the IXP2000 ARM platforms support has been removed from the kernel in commit: commit c65f2abf54a6 ("ARM: remove ixp23xx and ixp2000 platforms") its platforms specific kernel parameters should be removed too from the kernel documentation along with the kernel code currently handling them in that they have just become obsolete. This patch removes the pci=firmware command line parameter handling from ARM code and the related kernel parameters documentation section.

However, ARM merely reserves physical address zero with no checking that there is even RAM there. Fix this by lifting similar code from x86, importing it to ARM with the ARM specific parameters added. In the absence of any platform specific information, we allocate the crashkernel region from the first 512MB of physical memory. Update the kdump documentation to reflect this change.

However, the semantics of ioremap_cache() are not unambiguously defined, and on ARM, it will actually result in a mapping type that differs from the attributes used for the linear mapping, and for this reason, the ioremap_cache() call fails if the region is part of the memory managed by the kernel. So instead, implement an optional hook 'arch_memremap_wb' whose default implementation calls ioremap_cache() as before, but which can be overridden by the architecture to do what is appropriate for it.

For that reason, there is currently an effort underway to deprecate ioremap_cache, whose semantics are poorly defined, and which is typed with an __iomem annotation that is inappropriate for mappings of ordinary memory. However, original users of ioremap_cached() used it in a context where the I/O connotation is appropriate, and replacing those instances with memremap() does not make sense. So let's revive ioremap_cached(), so that we can change back those original users before we drop ioremap_cache entirely in favor of memremap.

However in some cases power domain (or clocks) might not be yet available. Returning -EPROBE_DEFER is not a solution in such case, because callers don't handle this special error code. Instead such devices are added to the special list and their registration is retried from periodic worker until all resources are available.

We should be able to achieve the same effect (skipping free_pages_check() from !DEBUG_VM configs) by adding a parameter to free_pages_prepare() and making it inline, so the checks (and the order != 0 parts) are eliminated from the call from free_pcp_prepare(). !DEBUG_VM: bloat-o-meter reports no difference, as my gcc was already inlining free_pages_prepare() and the elimination seems to work as expected DEBUG_VM bloat-o-meter: add/remove: 0/1 grow/shrink: 2/0 up/down: 1035/-778 (257) function old new delta __free_pages_ok 297 1060 +763 free_hot_cold_page 480 752 +272 free_pages_prepare 778 - -778 Here inlining didn't occur before, and added some code, but it's ok for a debug option.

This catches corruption bugs of pages that are already freed but it is expensive. This patch weakens the debugging check by checking PCP pages only when the PCP lists are being refilled. All compound pages are checked. This potentially avoids debugging checks entirely if the PCP lists are never emptied and refilled so some corruption issues may be missed.

But the check "nr_cpusets() <= 1" doesn't use the cpusets_enabled_key static key the right way where static keys eliminate branching overhead with jump labels. This patch converts it so that static key is used properly. It's also switched to the new static key API and the checking functions are converted to return bool instead of int. We also provide a new variant __cpuset_zone_allowed() which expects that the static key check was already done and they key was enabled. This is needed for get_page_from_freelist() where we want to also avoid the relatively slower check when ALLOC_CPUSET is not set in alloc_flags. The impact on the page allocator microbenchmark is less than expected but the cleanup in itself is worthwhile. 4.6.0-rc2 4.6.0-rc2 multcheck-v1r20 cpuset-v1r20 Min alloc-odr0-1 348.00 ( 0.00%) 348.00 ( 0.00%) Min alloc-odr0-2 254.00 ( 0.00%) 254.00 ( 0.00%) Min alloc-odr0-4 213.00 ( 0.00%) 213.00 ( 0.00%) Min alloc-odr0-8 186.00 ( 0.00%) 183.00 ( 1.61%) Min alloc-odr0-16 173.00 ( 0.00%) 171.00 ( 1.16%) Min alloc-odr0-32 166.00 ( 0.00%) 163.00 ( 1.81%) Min alloc-odr0-64 162.00 ( 0.00%) 159.00 ( 1.85%) Min alloc-odr0-128 160.00 ( 0.00%) 157.00 ( 1.88%) Min alloc-odr0-256 169.00 ( 0.00%) 166.00 ( 1.78%) Min alloc-odr0-512 180.00 ( 0.00%) 180.00 ( 0.00%) Min alloc-odr0-1024 188.00 ( 0.00%) 187.00 ( 0.53%) Min alloc-odr0-2048 194.00 ( 0.00%) 193.00 ( 0.52%) Min alloc-odr0-4096 199.00 ( 0.00%) 198.00 ( 0.50%) Min alloc-odr0-8192 202.00 ( 0.00%) 201.00 ( 0.50%) Min alloc-odr0-16384 203.00 ( 0.00%) 202.00 ( 0.49%) Signed-off-by: Vlastimil Babka <vbabka@suse.cz> Signed-off-by: Mel Gorman <mgorman@techsingularity.net> Acked-by: Zefan Li <lizefan@huawei.com> Cc: Jesper Dangaard Brouer <brouer@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

The reserves only matter if memory is limited and the free_pages adjustment only applies to high-order pages. This patch adds a shortcut for order-0 pages that avoids numerous calculations if there is plenty of free memory yielding the following performance difference in a page allocator microbenchmark; 4.6.0-rc2 4.6.0-rc2 optfair-v1r20 fastmark-v1r20 Min alloc-odr0-1 380.00 ( 0.00%) 364.00 ( 4.21%) Min alloc-odr0-2 273.00 ( 0.00%) 262.00 ( 4.03%) Min alloc-odr0-4 227.00 ( 0.00%) 214.00 ( 5.73%) Min alloc-odr0-8 196.00 ( 0.00%) 186.00 ( 5.10%) Min alloc-odr0-16 183.00 ( 0.00%) 173.00 ( 5.46%) Min alloc-odr0-32 173.00 ( 0.00%) 165.00 ( 4.62%) Min alloc-odr0-64 169.00 ( 0.00%) 161.00 ( 4.73%) Min alloc-odr0-128 169.00 ( 0.00%) 159.00 ( 5.92%) Min alloc-odr0-256 180.00 ( 0.00%) 168.00 ( 6.67%) Min alloc-odr0-512 190.00 ( 0.00%) 180.00 ( 5.26%) Min alloc-odr0-1024 198.00 ( 0.00%) 190.00 ( 4.04%) Min alloc-odr0-2048 204.00 ( 0.00%) 196.00 ( 3.92%) Min alloc-odr0-4096 209.00 ( 0.00%) 202.00 ( 3.35%) Min alloc-odr0-8192 213.00 ( 0.00%) 206.00 ( 3.29%) Min alloc-odr0-16384 214.00 ( 0.00%) 206.00 ( 3.74%) Signed-off-by: Mel Gorman <mgorman@techsingularity.net> Acked-by: Vlastimil Babka <vbabka@suse.cz> Cc: Jesper Dangaard Brouer <brouer@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

This patch removes an unnecessary local variable, checks the likely conditions of the fair zone policy first, uses a bool instead of a flags check and falls through when a remote node is encountered instead of doing a full restart.
