s390 for one, cannot implement VM_MIXEDMAP with pfn_valid, due to their memory
model (which is more dynamic than most). Instead, they had proposed to
implement it with an additional path through vm_normal_page(), using a bit in
the pte to determine whether or not the page should be refcounted:
vm_normal_page()
{
...
if (unlikely(vma->vm_flags & (VM_PFNMAP|VM_MIXEDMAP))) {
if (vma->vm_flags & VM_MIXEDMAP) {
#ifdef s390
if (!mixedmap_refcount_pte(pte))
return NULL;
#else
if (!pfn_valid(pfn))
return NULL;
#endif
goto out;
}
...
}
This is fine, however if we are allowed to use a bit in the pte to determine
refcountedness, we can use that to _completely_ replace all the vma based
schemes. So instead of adding more cases to the already complex vma-based
scheme, we can have a clearly seperate and simple pte-based scheme (and get
slightly better code generation in the process):
vm_normal_page()
{
#ifdef s390
if (!mixedmap_refcount_pte(pte))
return NULL;
return pte_page(pte);
#else
...
#endif
}
And finally, we may rather make this concept usable by any architecture rather
than making it s390 only, so implement a new type of pte state for this.
Unfortunately the old vma based code must stay, because some architectures may
not be able to spare pte bits. This makes vm_normal_page a little bit more
ugly than we would like, but the 2 cases are clearly seperate.
So introduce a pte_special pte state, and use it in mm/memory.c. It is
currently a noop for all architectures, so this doesn't actually result in any
compiled code changes to mm/memory.o.
BTW:
I haven't put vm_normal_page() into arch code as-per an earlier suggestion.
The reason is that, regardless of where vm_normal_page is actually
implemented, the *abstraction* is still exactly the same. Also, while it
depends on whether the architecture has pte_special or not, that is the
only two possible cases, and it really isn't an arch specific function --
the role of the arch code should be to provide primitive functions and
accessors with which to build the core code; pte_special does that. We do
not want architectures to know or care about vm_normal_page itself, and
we definitely don't want them being able to invent something new there
out of sight of mm/ code. If we made vm_normal_page an arch function, then
we have to make vm_insert_mixed (next patch) an arch function too. So I
don't think moving it to arch code fundamentally improves any abstractions,
while it does practically make the code more difficult to follow, for both
mm and arch developers, and easier to misuse.

Create a simple macro to always return a pointer to the node_to_cpumask(node)
value. This relies on compiler optimization to remove the extra indirection:
#define node_to_cpumask_ptr(v, node) \
cpumask_t _##v = node_to_cpumask(node), *v = &_##v
For those systems with a large cpumask size, then a true pointer
to the array element can be used:
#define node_to_cpumask_ptr(v, node) \
cpumask_t *v = &(node_to_cpumask_map[node])
A node_to_cpumask_ptr_next() macro is provided to access another
node_to_cpumask value.
The other change is to always include asm-generic/topology.h moving the
ifdef CONFIG_NUMA to this same file.
Note: there are no references to either of these new macros in this patch,
only the definition.

There is a NUMA memory configuration issue in 2.6.24:
A 2-node machine of ours has got the following memory layout:
Node 0: 0 - 2 Gbytes
Node 0: 4 - 8 Gbytes
Node 1: 8 - 16 Gbytes
Node 0: 16 - 18 Gbytes
"efi_memmap_init()" merges the three last ranges into one.
"register_active_ranges()" is called as follows:
efi_memmap_walk(register_active_ranges, NULL);
i.e. once for the 4 - 18 Gbytes range. It picks up the node
number from the start address, and registers all the memory for
the node #0.
"register_active_ranges()" should be called as follows to
make sure there is no merged address range at its entry:
efi_memmap_walk(filter_memory, register_active_ranges);
"filter_memory()" is similar to "filter_rsvd_memory()",
but the reserved memory ranges are not filtered out.

Add kprobe-booster support on ia64.
Kprobe-booster improves the performance of kprobes by eliminating single-step,
where possible. Currently, kprobe-booster is implemented on x86 and x86-64.
This is an ia64 port.
On ia64, kprobe-booster executes a copied bundle directly, instead of single
stepping. Bundles which have B or X unit and which may cause an exception
(including break) are not executed directly. And also, to prevent hitting
break exceptions on the copied bundle, only the hindmost kprobe is executed
directly if several kprobes share a bundle and are placed in different slots.
Note: set_brl_inst() is used for preparing an instruction buffer(it does not
modify any active code), so it does not need any atomic operation.

According to SDM2.2, Itanium supports multiple outstanding ptc.g instructions.
But current kernel function ia64_global_tlb_purge() uses a spinlock to serialize
ptc.g instructions issued by multiple processors. This serialization might have
scalability issue on a big SMP machine where many processors could purge TLB
in parallel.
The patch fixes this problem by issuing multiple ptc.g instructions in
ia64_global_tlb_purge(). It also adds support for the "PALO" table to get
a platform view of the max number of outstanding ptc.g instructions (which
may be different from the processor view found from PAL_VM_SUMMARY).

Fix the problem that the following error message is sometimes displayed
at irq migration when vector domain is enabled.
"Unexpected interrupt vector %d on CPU %d is not mapped to any IRQ!"
The cause of this problem is an interrupt is sent to the previous
target CPU after cleaning up vector to irq mapping table. To clean up
vector to irq map on the previous target CPU safty, change the irq
migration in multiple vector domain as follows. The original idea is
from x86 interrupt management code.
- Delay vector to irq table cleanup until the interrupts are sent
to new target CPUs. By this, it is ensured that target CPU is
completely changed on the interrupt controller side.
- Even after the interrupts are sent to new target CPUs, there can
be pended interrupts remaining on the previous target CPU. So we
need to delay clearning up vector to irq table until the pended
interrupt is handled. For this, send IPI to the previous target
CPU with lower priority vector and clean up vector to irq table
in its handler.
This patch affects only to irq migration code with multiple vector
domain is enabled.

This patch implements VIRT_CPU_ACCOUNTING for ia64,
which enable us to use more accurate cpu time accounting.
The VIRT_CPU_ACCOUNTING is an item of kernel config, which s390
and powerpc arch have. By turning this config on, these archs
change the mechanism of cpu time accounting from tick-sampling
based one to state-transition based one.
The state-transition based accounting is done by checking time
(cycle counter in processor) at every state-transition point,
such as entrance/exit of kernel, interrupt, softirq etc.
The difference between point to point is the actual time consumed
during in the state. There is no doubt about that this value is
more accurate than that of tick-sampling based accounting.

This is base kernel patch for ptrace RSE bug. It's basically a backport
from the utrace RSE patch I sent out several weeks ago. please review.
when a thread is stopped (ptraced), debugger might change thread's user
stack (change memory directly), and we must avoid the RSE stored in
kernel to override user stack (user space's RSE is newer than kernel's
in the case). To workaround the issue, we copy kernel RSE to user RSE
before the task is stopped, so user RSE has updated data. we then copy
user RSE to kernel after the task is resummed from traced stop and
kernel will use the newer RSE to return to user.
