In linux-next there is a commit ("x86: Add performance variants of cpumask
operators") which, as part of the 4096 cpu support work adds some new APIs
for dealing with cpu masks. Add trivial versions of these now so that
subsystems can update in a timely manner and avoid conflicts in linux-next
and the next merge window.

They aren't used. They were briefly used as part of some other patches to
provide an alternative format for displaying some /proc and /sys cpumasks.
They probably should have been removed when those other patches were dropped,
in favor of a different solution.

The following adds two more bitmap operators, bitmap_onto() and bitmap_fold(),
with the usual cpumask and nodemask wrappers.
The bitmap_onto() operator computes one bitmap relative to another. If the
n-th bit in the origin mask is set, then the m-th bit of the destination mask
will be set, where m is the position of the n-th set bit in the relative mask.
The bitmap_fold() operator folds a bitmap into a second that has bit m set iff
the input bitmap has some bit n set, where m == n mod sz, for the specified sz
value.
There are two substantive changes between this patch and its
predecessor bitmap_relative:
1) Renamed bitmap_relative() to be bitmap_onto().
2) Added bitmap_fold().
The essential motivation for bitmap_onto() is to provide a mechanism for
converting a cpuset-relative CPU or Node mask to an absolute mask. Cpuset
relative masks are written as if the current task were in a cpuset whose CPUs
or Nodes were just the consecutive ones numbered 0..N-1, for some N. The
bitmap_onto() operator is provided in anticipation of adding support for the
first such cpuset relative mask, by the mbind() and set_mempolicy() system
calls, using a planned flag of MPOL_F_RELATIVE_NODES. These bitmap operators
(and their nodemask wrappers, in particular) will be used in code that
converts the user specified cpuset relative memory policy to a specific system
node numbered policy, given the current mems_allowed of the tasks cpuset.
Such cpuset relative mempolicies will address two deficiencies
of the existing interface between cpusets and mempolicies:
1) A task cannot at present reliably establish a cpuset
relative mempolicy because there is an essential race
condition, in that the tasks cpuset may be changed in
between the time the task can query its cpuset placement,
and the time the task can issue the applicable mbind or
set_memplicy system call.
2) A task cannot at present establish what cpuset relative
mempolicy it would like to have, if it is in a smaller
cpuset than it might have mempolicy preferences for,
because the existing interface only allows specifying
mempolicies for nodes currently allowed by the cpuset.
Cpuset relative mempolicies are useful for tasks that don't distinguish
particularly between one CPU or Node and another, but only between how many of
each are allowed, and the proper placement of threads and memory pages on the
various CPUs and Nodes available.
The motivation for the added bitmap_fold() can be seen in the following
example.
Let's say an application has specified some mempolicies that presume 16 memory
nodes, including say a mempolicy that specified MPOL_F_RELATIVE_NODES (cpuset
relative) nodes 12-15. Then lets say that application is crammed into a
cpuset that only has 8 memory nodes, 0-7. If one just uses bitmap_onto(),
this mempolicy, mapped to that cpuset, would ignore the requested relative
nodes above 7, leaving it empty of nodes. That's not good; better to fold the
higher nodes down, so that some nodes are included in the resulting mapped
mempolicy. In this case, the mempolicy nodes 12-15 are taken modulo 8 (the
weight of the mems_allowed of the confining cpuset), resulting in a mempolicy
specifying nodes 4-7.

It's based on the Kconfig option "HAVE_CPUMASK_OF_CPU_MAP" which is
currently only set for x86_64 SMP. Otherwise the the existing
cpumask_of_cpu() is used but has been changed to produce an lvalue
so a pointer to it can be used.

the bug was caused by maxcpus=1 bootup, which brought up the
secondary core as !cpu_online() but !cpu_is_offline() either,
which on on !CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU is always 0 (include/linux/cpu.h):
/* CPUs don't go offline once they're online w/o CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU */
static inline int cpu_is_offline(int cpu) { return 0; }
but the cpufreq code uses cpu_online() and cpu_is_offline() in
a mixed way - the low-level drivers use cpu_online(), while
the cpufreq core uses cpu_is_offline(). This opened up the
possibility to add the non-initialized sysdev device of the
secondary core:
cpufreq-core: trying to register driver powernow-k8
cpufreq-core: adding CPU 0
powernow-k8: BIOS error - no PSB or ACPI _PSS objects
cpufreq-core: initialization failed
cpufreq-core: adding CPU 1
cpufreq-core: initialization failed
which then blew up. The fix is to make cpu_is_offline() always
the negation of cpu_online(). With that fix applied the kernel
boots up fine without crashing:
Calling initcall 0xffffffff80cc0510: powernowk8_init+0x0/0x94()
powernow-k8: Found 1 AMD Athlon(tm) 64 X2 Dual Core Processor 3800+ processors (1 cpu cores) (version 2.20.00)
powernow-k8: BIOS error - no PSB or ACPI _PSS objects
initcall 0xffffffff80cc0510: powernowk8_init+0x0/0x94() returned -19.
initcall 0xffffffff80cc0510 ran for 19 msecs: powernowk8_init+0x0/0x94()
Calling initcall 0xffffffff80cc328f: init_lapic_nmi_sysfs+0x0/0x39()
We could fix this by making CPU enumeration aware of max_cpus, but that
would be more fragile IMO, and the cpu_online(cpu) != cpu_is_offline(cpu)
possibility was quite confusing and a continuous source of bugs too.
Most distributions have kernels with CPU hotplug enabled, so this bug
remained hidden for a long time.
Bug forensics:
The broken cpu_is_offline() API variant was introduced via:
commit a59d2e4e6977e7b94e003c96a41f07e96cddc340
Author: Rusty Russell <rusty@rustcorp.com.au>
Date: Mon Mar 8 06:06:03 2004 -0800
[PATCH] minor cleanups for hotplug CPUs
( this predates linux-2.6.git, this commit is available from Thomas's
historic git tree. )
Then 1.5 years later the cpufreq code made use of it:
commit c32b6b8e52
Author: Ashok Raj <ashok.raj@intel.com>
Date: Sun Oct 30 14:59:54 2005 -0800
[PATCH] create and destroy cpufreq sysfs entries based on cpu notifiers
+ if (cpu_is_offline(cpu))
+ return 0;
which is a correct use of the subtly broken new API. v2.6.15 then
shipped with this bug included.
then it took two more years for random-kernel qa to hit it.

We frequently need the maximum number of possible processors in order to
allocate arrays for all processors. So far this was done using
highest_possible_processor_id(). However, we do need the number of
processors not the highest id. Moreover the number was so far dynamically
calculated on each invokation. The number of possible processors does not
change when the system is running. We can therefore calculate that number
once.

lib/bitmap.c:bitmap_parse() is a library function that received as input a
user buffer. This seemed to have originated from the way the write_proc
function of the /proc filesystem operates.
This has been reworked to not use kmalloc and eliminates a lot of
get_user() overhead by performing one access_ok before using __get_user().
We need to test if we are in kernel or user space (is_user) and access the
buffer differently. We cannot use __get_user() to access kernel addresses
in all cases, for example in architectures with separate address space for
kernel and user.
This function will be useful for other uses as well; for example, taking
input for /sysfs instead of /proc, so it was changed to accept kernel
buffers. We have this use for the Linux UWB project, as part as the
upcoming bandwidth allocator code.
Only a few routines used this function and they were changed too.

Initialising cpu_possible_map to all-ones with CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU means that
a) All for_each_cpu() loops will iterate across all NR_CPUS CPUs, rather
than over possible ones. That can be quite expensive.
b) Soon we'll be allocating per-cpu areas only for possible CPUs. So with
CPU_MASK_ALL, we'll be wasting memory.
I also switched voyager over to not use CPU_MASK_ALL in the non-CPU-hotplug
case. Should be OK..
I note that parisc is also using CPU_MASK_ALL. Suggest that it stop doing
that.

In the forthcoming task migration support, a key calculation will be
mapping cpu and node numbers from the old set to the new set while
preserving cpuset-relative offset.
For example, if a task and its pages on nodes 8-11 are being migrated to
nodes 24-27, then pages on node 9 (the 2nd node in the old set) should be
moved to node 25 (the 2nd node in the new set.)
As with other bitmap operations, the proper way to code this is to provide
the underlying calculation in lib/bitmap.c, and then to provide the usual
cpumask and nodemask wrappers.
This patch provides that. These operations are termed 'remap' operations.
Both remapping a single bit and a set of bits is supported.

... otherwise, things like alpha and sparc64 break and break
badly. They define cpu_possible_map to something else in smp.h
*AFTER* having included cpumask.h.
If that puppy is a macro, expansion will happen at the actual
caller, when we'd already seen #define cpu_possible_map ... and we will
get the right thing used.
As an inline helper it will be tokenized before we get to that
define and that's it; no matter what we define later, it won't affect
