The next stage after removing code which depends on CONFIG_MODE_TT is removing the CHOOSE_MODE abstraction, which provided both compile-time and run-time branching to either tt-mode or skas-mode code. This patch removes choose-mode.h and all inclusions of it, and replaces all CHOOSE_MODE invocations with the skas branch. This leaves a number of trivial functions which will be dealt with in a later patch. There are some changes in the uaccess and tls support which go somewhat beyond this and eliminate some of the now-redundant functions. Signed-off-by:

Formatting changes in the files which have been changed in the tt-removal patchset so far. These include: copyright updates header file trimming style fixes adding severity to printks indenting Kconfig help according to the predominant kernel style These changes should be entirely non-functional.

This patchset throws out tt mode, which has been non-functional for a while. This is done in phases, interspersed with code cleanups on the affected files. The removal is done as follows: remove all code, config options, and files which depend on CONFIG_MODE_TT get rid of the CHOOSE_MODE macro, which decided whether to call tt-mode or skas-mode code, and replace invocations with their skas portions replace all now-trivial procedures with their skas equivalents There are now a bunch of now-redundant pieces of data structures, including mode-specific pieces of the thread structure, pt_regs, and mm_context. These are all replaced with their skas-specific contents. As part of the ongoing style compliance project, I made a style pass over all files that were changed. There are three such patches, one for each phase, covering the files affected by that phase but no later ones. I noticed that we weren't freeing the LDT state associated with a process when it exited, so that's fixed in one of the later patches. The last patch is a tidying patch which I've had for a while, but which caused inexplicable crashes under tt mode. Since that is no longer a problem, this can now go in. This patch: Start getting rid of tt mode support. This patch throws out CONFIG_MODE_TT and all config options, code, and files which depend on it. CONFIG_MODE_SKAS is gone and everything that depends on it is included unconditionally. The few changed lines are in re-written Kconfig help, lines which needed something skas-related removed from them, and a few more which weren't strictly deletions. Signed-off-by:

Tidying of the UML physical memory system. These are mostly style fixes, however the includes were cleaned as well. This uncovered a need for mem_user.h to be included in mode_kern_skas.h. Signed-off-by:

Throw out a lot of code dealing with saving and restoring floating-point state. In skas mode, where processes run in a restoring floating-point state on kernel entry and exit is pointless. This eliminates most of arch/um/os-Linux/sys-{i386,x86_64}/registers.c. Most of what remained is now arch-indpendent, and can be moved up to arch/um/os-Linux/registers.c. Both arches need the jmp_buf accessor get_thread_reg, and i386 needs {save,restore}_fp_regs because it cheats during sigreturn by getting the fp state using ptrace rather than copying it out of the process sigcontext. After this, it turns out that arch/um/include/skas/mode-skas.h is almost completely unneeded. The declarations in it are variables which either don't exist or which don't have global scope. The one exception is kill_off_processes_skas. If that's removed, this header can be deleted. This uncovered a bug in user.h, which wasn't correctly making sure that a size_t definition was available to both userspace and kernelspace files. Signed-off-by: -

On some systems, with IPV6 configured, there is a clash between the kernel's in6addr_any and the one in libc. This is handled in the usual (gross) way of defining the kernel symbol out of the way on the gcc command line. Signed-off-by:

Remove includes of asm/page.h from libc code. This header seems to be disappearing, and UML doesn't make much use of it anyway. The one use, PAGE_SHIFT in stub.h, is handled by copying the constant from the kernel side of the house in common_offsets.h. Signed-off-by:

The previous console cleanup patch switched generic_read and generic_write from calling os_{read,write}_file to calling read and write directly. Because the calling convention is different, they now need to get any error from errno rather than the return value. I did this for generic_read, but forgot about generic_write. While chasing some output corruption, I noticed that line_write was unnecessarily calling flush_buffer, and deleted it. I don't understand why, but the corruption disappeared. This is unneeded because there already is a perfectly good mechanism for finding out when the host output device has some room to write data - there is an interrupt that comes in when writes can happen again. line_write calling flush_buffer seemed to just be an attempt to opportunistically get some data out to the host. I also made write_chan short-circuit calling into the host-level code for zero-length writes. Calling libc write with a length of zero conflated write not being able to write anything with asking it not to write anything. Better to just cut it off as soon as possible. Signed-off-by: -

This does a lot of cleanup on the UML console system. This patch should be entirely non-functional. The tidying is as follows: header cleanups - the includes should be closer to minimal and complete all printks now have a severity lots of style fixes fd_close is restructured a little in order to reduce the nesting some functions were calling the os_* wrappers when they can call libc directly port_accept had a unnecessary variable it also tested a pid unecessarily before killing it some functions were made static xterm_free is gone, as it was identical to generic_free Signed-off-by:

Convert m32r to the generic sys_ptrace. The conversion requires an architecture hook after ptrace_attach which this patch adds.

Introduced a consistent style in vmlinux.lds and it now matches the soon-to-be common style for all arch's vmlinux.lds files. In addition: - Replaced hardcoded constant with PAGE_SIZE - Fix page.h so PAGE_SIZE can be used from assembler and in lds files - Move a few labels inside brackets so linker alignment will not make label point ot a too low address - Replaced DWARF and STABS sections with definitions from asm-generic Signed-off-by:

This patch converts alpha to the generic sys_ptrace. We use force_successful_syscall_return to avoid having to pass the pt_regs pointer down to the function. I think the removal of the assemly stub is correct, but I could only compile-test this patch, so please give it a spin before commiting :) Signed-off-by:

frv is the last user in the tree of that dubious hook, and it's my understanding that it's not even needed. It's only called by memory.c free_pgd_range() which is always called within an mmu_gather, and tlb_flush() on frv will do a flush_tlb_mm(), which from my reading of the code, seems to do what flush_tlb_ptables() does, which is to clear the cached PGE.

Add a per node state sysfs class attribute file to /sys/devices/system/node to display node state masks. E.g., on a 4-cell HP ia64 NUMA platform, we have 5 nodes: 4 representing the actual hardware cells and one memory-only pseudo-node representing a small amount [512MB] of "hardware interleaved" memory. With this patch, in /sys/devices/system/node we see: #ls -1F /sys/devices/system/node has_cpu has_normal_memory node0/ node1/ node2/ node3/ node4/ online possible #cat /sys/devices/system/node/possible 0-255 #cat /sys/devices/system/node/online 0-4 #cat /sys/devices/system/node/has_normal_memory 0-4 #cat /sys/devices/system/node/has_cpu 0-3 Signed-off-by:

When gather_surplus_pages() fails to allocate enough huge pages to satisfy the requested reservation, it frees what it did allocate back to the buddy allocator. put_page() should be called instead of update_and_free_page() to ensure that pool counters are updated as appropriate and the page's refcount is decremented.

Anton found a problem with the hugetlb pool allocation when some nodes have no memory (http://marc.info/?l=linux-mm&m=118133042025995&w=2). Lee worked on versions that tried to fix it, but none were accepted. Christoph has created a set of patches which allow for GFP_THISNODE allocations to fail if the node has no memory. Currently, alloc_fresh_huge_page() returns NULL when it is not able to allocate a huge page on the current node, as specified by its custom interleave variable. The callers of this function, though, assume that a failure in alloc_fresh_huge_page() indicates no hugepages can be allocated on the system period. This might not be the case, for instance, if we have an uneven NUMA system, and we happen to try to allocate a hugepage on a node with less memory and fail, while there is still plenty of free memory on the other nodes. To correct this, make alloc_fresh_huge_page() search through all online nodes before deciding no hugepages can be allocated. Add a helper function for actually allocating the hugepage. Use a new global nid iterator to control which nid to allocate on. Note: we expect particular semantics for __GFP_THISNODE, which are now enforced even for memoryless nodes. That is, there is should be no fallback to other nodes. Therefore, we rely on the nid passed into alloc_pages_node() to be the nid the page comes from. If this is incorrect, accounting will break. Tested on x86 !NUMA, x86 NUMA, x86_64 NUMA and ppc64 NUMA (with 2 memoryless nodes).

When shrinking the size of the hugetlb pool via the nr_hugepages sysctl, we are careful to keep enough pages around to satisfy reservations. But the calculation is flawed for the following scenario: Action Pool Counters (Total, Free, Resv) ====== ============= Set pool to 1 page 1 1 0 Map 1 page MAP_PRIVATE 1 1 0 Touch the page to fault it in 1 0 0 Set pool to 3 pages 3 2 0 Map 2 pages MAP_SHARED 3 2 2 Set pool to 2 pages 2 1 2 <-- Mistake, should be 3 2 2 Touch the 2 shared pages 2 0 1 <-- Program crashes here The last touch above will terminate the process due to lack of huge pages. This patch corrects the calculation so that it factors in pages being used for private mappings. Andrew, this is a standalone fix suitable for mainline. It is also now corrected in my latest dynamic pool resizing patchset which I will send out soon. Signed-off-by:

Support for reading from hugetlbfs files. libhugetlbfs lets application text/data to be placed in large pages. When we do that, oprofile doesn't work - since libbfd tries to read from it. This code is very similar to what do_generic_mapping_read() does, but I can't use it since it has PAGE_CACHE_SIZE assumptions.

For historical reason, expanding ftruncate that increases file size on hugetlbfs is not allowed due to pages were pre-faulted and lack of fault handler. Now that we have demand faulting on hugetlb since 2.6.15, there is no reason to hold back that limitation. This will make hugetlbfs behave more like a normal fs. I'm writing a user level code that uses hugetlbfs but will fall back to tmpfs if there are no hugetlb page available in the system. Having hugetlbfs specific ftruncate behavior is a bit quirky and I would like to remove that artificial limitation. Signed-off-by: <kenchen@google.com> Acked-by:
