7835e98b2e [PATCH] remove set_page_count() outside mm/
set_page_count usage outside mm/ is limited to setting the refcount to 1.
Remove set_page_count from outside mm/, and replace those users with
init_page_count() and set_page_refcounted().

This allows more debug checking, and tighter control on how code is allowed
to play around with page->_count.

d1db4ec86c [PATCH] x86_64: early initialization of cpu_to_node
The early initialization of cpu_to_node code as it is now only updates the
cpu_to_node array, and does not update cpu_pda()->nodemember.  This will
cause numa_node_id() to return 0 on systems where CPU 0 is not on Node 0.
This leads to a kernel panic in slab.c.

I've tested the patch below on a 16 processor x86_64 ES7000-600 server, and
no longer see the panic I saw with the original 2.6.16-rc3.

For 32bit follow the 32bit implementation from Ingo -
mappings are growing down from the end of stack now

Randomized mappings for 64bit just vary the normal mmap break
by 1TB. I didn't bother implementing full flex mmap for 64bit
because it shouldn't be needed there.

05b3cbd8bb [PATCH] x86_64: Early initialization of cpu_to_node
Patch enables early intialization of cpu_to_node.
apicid_to_node is built by reading the SRAT table, from acpi_numa_init with
ACPI_NUMA and k8_scan_nodes with K8_NUMA.
x86_cpu_to_apicid is built by parsing the ACPI MADT table, from acpi_boot_init.
We combine these two tables and setup cpu_to_node.

Early intialization helps the static per_cpu_areas in getting pages from
correct node.

Change since last release:
Do not initialize early init_cpu_to_node for faking node cases.

Patch tested on TYAN dual core 4P board with K8 only, ACPI_NUMA.
Tested on EM64T NUMA. Also tested with numa=off, numa=fake, and  running
a kernel compiled with NUMA on a regular EM64 2 way SMP.

17a941d854 [PATCH] x86_64: Use function pointers to call DMA mapping functions
AK: I hacked Muli's original patch a lot and there were a lot
of changes - all bugs are probably to blame on me now.
There were also some changes in the fall back behaviour
for swiotlb - in particular it doesn't try to use GFP_DMA
now anymore. Also all DMA mapping operations use the
same core dma_alloc_coherent code with proper fallbacks now.
And various other changes and cleanups.

Known problems: iommu=force swiotlb=force together breaks
                needs more testing.

This patch cleans up x86_64's DMA mapping dispatching code. Right now
we have three possible IOMMU types: AGP GART, swiotlb and nommu, and
in the future we will also have Xen's x86_64 swiotlb and other HW
IOMMUs for x86_64. In order to support all of them cleanly, this
patch:

- introduces a struct dma_mapping_ops with function pointers for each
  of the DMA mapping operations of gart (AMD HW IOMMU), swiotlb
  (software IOMMU) and nommu (no IOMMU).

- gets rid of:

  if (swiotlb)
      return swiotlb_xxx();

- PCI_DMA_BUS_IS_PHYS is now checked against the dma_ops being set
This makes swiotlb faster by avoiding double copying in some cases.

1584b89c92 [PATCH] x86_64: Validate SLIT table
A lot of Opteron BIOS just pass 10 in all SLIT entries (10 is the
normalized unit). This is actually worse than the default heuristic
because it leads to pci_distance not knowing the difference between
local and remote nodes anymore. This messes up some NUMA
heuristics in generic code.

In this case it's better to fall back to the default heuristic
which just does nodea == nodeb ? 10 : 20.

This patch does some basic sanity checking on the SLIT and only accepts
the SLIT when it passes.

Invariants enforced are:
- Node to itself shall be 10
- Any other distance shouldn't be 10
- Distances smaller than 10 are illegal

Bug fix required for the .rodata work on x86-64:

when change_page_attr() and friends need to break up a 2Mb page into 4Kb
pages, it always set the NX bit on the PMD, which causes the cpu to consider
the entire 2Mb region to be NX regardless of the actual PTE perms.  This is
fine in general, with one big exception: the 2Mb page that covers the last
part of the kernel .text!  The fix is to not invent a new permission for the
new PMD entry, but to just inherit the existing one minus the PSE bit.

ffd10a2b77 [PATCH] x86_64: Make node boundaries consistent
The current x86_64 NUMA memory code is inconsequent when it comes to node
memory ranges. The exact behaviour varies depending on which config option
that is used.

setup_node_bootmem() has start and end as arguments and these are used to
calculate the size of the node like this: (end - start). This is all fine
if end is pointing to the first non-available byte. The problem is that the
current x86_64 code sometimes treats it as the last present byte and sometimes
as the first non-available byte. The result is that some configurations might
lose a page at the end of the range.

This patch tries to fix CONFIG_ACPI_NUMA, CONFIG_K8_NUMA and CONFIG_NUMA_EMU
so they all treat the end variable as the first non-available byte. This is
the same way as the single node code.

The patch is boot tested on dual x86_64 hardware with the above configurations,
but maybe the removed code is needed as some workaround?

 Node 1 MemBase 0000000200000000 Limit 00000003ffffffff
 Using 23 for the hash shift. Max adder is 3ffffffff

After the patch :

 Node 0 MemBase 0000000000000000 Limit 00000001ffffffff
 Node 1 MemBase 0000000200000000 Limit 00000003ffffffff
 Using 33 for the hash shift.

In this case, only 2 bytes of memnodemap[] are used, instead of 2048

f6c2e3330d [PATCH] x86_64: Unmap NULL during early bootup
We should zap the low mappings, as soon as possible, so that we can catch
kernel bugs more effectively. Previously early boot had NULL mapped
and didn't trap on NULL references.

This patch introduces boot_level4_pgt, which will always have low identity
addresses mapped.  Druing boot, all the processors will use this as their
level4 pgt.  On BP, we will switch to init_level4_pgt as soon as we enter C
code and zap the low mappings as soon as we are done with the usage of
identity low mapped addresses.  On AP's we will zap the low mappings as
soon as we jump to C code.

69d81fcde7 [PATCH] x86_64: Speed up numa_node_id by putting it directly into the PDA
Not go from the CPU number to an mapping array.
Mode number is often used now in fast paths.

This also adds a generic numa_node_id to all the topology includes

e18c6874a5 [PATCH] x86_64: Account mem_map in VM holes accounting
The VM needs to know about lost memory in zones to accurately
balance dirty pages. This patch accounts mem_map in there too,
which fixes a constant errror of a few percent. Also some
other misc mappings and the kernel text itself are accounted
too.

a2f1b42490 [PATCH] x86_64: Add 4GB DMA32 zone
Add a new 4GB GFP_DMA32 zone between the GFP_DMA and GFP_NORMAL zones.

As a bit of historical background: when the x86-64 port
was originally designed we had some discussion if we should
use a 16MB DMA zone like i386 or a 4GB DMA zone like IA64 or
both. Both was ruled out at this point because it was in early
2.4 when VM is still quite shakey and had bad troubles even
dealing with one DMA zone.  We settled on the 16MB DMA zone mainly
because we worried about older soundcards and the floppy.

But this has always caused problems since then because
device drivers had trouble getting enough DMA able memory. These days
the VM works much better and the wide use of NUMA has proven
it can deal with many zones successfully.

So this patch adds both zones.

This helps drivers who need a lot of memory below 4GB because
their hardware is not accessing more (graphic drivers - proprietary
and free ones, video frame buffer drivers, sound drivers etc.).
Previously they could only use IOMMU+16MB GFP_DMA, which
was not enough memory.

Another common problem is that hardware who has full memory
addressing for >4GB misses it for some control structures in memory
(like transmit rings or other metadata).  They tended to allocate memory
in the 16MB GFP_DMA or the IOMMU/swiotlb then using pci_alloc_consistent,
but that can tie up a lot of precious 16MB GFPDMA/IOMMU/swiotlb memory
(even on AMD systems the IOMMU tends to be quite small) especially if you have
many devices.  With the new zone pci_alloc_consistent can just put
this stuff into memory below 4GB which works better.

One argument was still if the zone should be 4GB or 2GB. The main
motivation for 2GB would be an unnamed not so unpopular hardware
raid controller (mostly found in older machines from a particular four letter
company) who has a strange 2GB restriction in firmware. But
that one works ok with swiotlb/IOMMU anyways, so it doesn't really
need GFP_DMA32. I chose 4GB to be compatible with IA64 and because
it seems to be the most common restriction.

The new zone is so far added only for x86-64.

For other architectures who don't set up this
new zone nothing changes. Architectures can set a compatibility
define in Kconfig CONFIG_DMA_IS_DMA32 that will define GFP_DMA32
as GFP_DMA. Otherwise it's a nop because on 32bit architectures
it's normally not needed because GFP_NORMAL (=0) is DMA able
enough.

One problem is still that GFP_DMA means different things on different
architectures. e.g. some drivers used to have #ifdef ia64  use GFP_DMA
(trusting it to be 4GB) #elif __x86_64__ (use other hacks like
the swiotlb because 16MB is not enough) ... . This was quite
ugly and is now obsolete.

These should be now converted to use GFP_DMA32 unconditionally. I haven't done
this yet. Or best only use pci_alloc_consistent/dma_alloc_coherent
which will use GFP_DMA32 transparently.

872fec16d9 [PATCH] mm: init_mm without ptlock
First step in pushing down the page_table_lock.  init_mm.page_table_lock has
been used throughout the architectures (usually for ioremap): not to serialize
kernel address space allocation (that's usually vmlist_lock), but because
pud_alloc,pmd_alloc,pte_alloc_kernel expect caller holds it.

Reverse that: don't lock or unlock init_mm.page_table_lock in any of the
architectures; instead rely on pud_alloc,pmd_alloc,pte_alloc_kernel to take
and drop it when allocating a new one, to check lest a racing task already
did.  Similarly no page_table_lock in vmalloc's map_vm_area.

Some temporary ugliness in __pud_alloc and __pmd_alloc: since they also handle
user mms, which are converted only by a later patch, for now they have to lock
differently according to whether or not it's init_mm.

If sources get muddled, there's a danger that an arch source taking
init_mm.page_table_lock will be mixed with common source also taking it (or
neither take it).  So break the rules and make another change, which should
break the build for such a mismatch: remove the redundant mm arg from
pte_alloc_kernel (ppc64 scrapped its distinct ioremap_mm in 2.6.13).

Exceptions: arm26 used pte_alloc_kernel on user mm, now pte_alloc_map; ia64
used pte_alloc_map on init_mm, now pte_alloc_kernel; parisc had bad args to
pmd_alloc and pte_alloc_kernel in unused USE_HPPA_IOREMAP code; ppc64
map_io_page forgot to unlock on failure; ppc mmu_mapin_ram and ppc64 im_free
took page_table_lock for no good reason.

85cc5135ac [PATCH] x86_64 early numa init fix
The tests Alok carried out on Petr's box confirmed that cpu_to_node[BP] is
not setup early enough by numa_init_array due to the x86_64 changes in
2.6.14-rc*, and unfortunately set wrongly by the work around code in
numa_init_array().  cpu_to_node[0] gets set with 1 early and later gets set
properly to 0 during identify_cpu() when all cpus are brought up, but
confusing the numa slab in the process.

Here is a quick fix for this.  The right fix obviously is to have
cpu_to_node[bsp] setup early for numa_init_array().  The following patch
will fix the problem now, and the code can stay on even when
cpu_to_node{BP] gets fixed early correctly.

Thanks to Petr for access to his box.

e6a045a5b8 [PATCH] x86_64: fix the BP node_to_cpumask
Fix the BP node_to_cpumask.  2.6.14-rc* broke the boot cpu bit as the
cpu_to_node(0) is now not setup early enough for numa_init_array.
cpu_to_node[] is setup much later at srat_detect_node on acpi srat based
em64t machines.  This seems like a problem on amd machines too, Tested on
em64t though.  /sys/devices/system/node/node0/cpumap shows up sanely after
this patch.
