Change the perf user stack walking to use the new __copy_from_user_nmi(), and split each access into word sized transfer sizes. This allows to inline the complete access and optimize it all into a single load. The main advantage is that this avoids the overhead of double page faults. When normal copy_from_user() fails it reexecutes the copy to compute an accurate number of non copied bytes. This leads to executing the expensive page fault twice. While walking stacks having a fault at some point is relatively common (typically when some part of the program isn't compiled with frame pointers), so this is a large overhead. With the optimized copies we avoid this problem because they only do all accesses once. And of course they're much faster too when the access does not fault because they're just single instructions instead of complex function calls. While profiling a kernel build with -g, the patch brings down the average time of the PMI handler from 966ns to 552ns (-43%). Signed-off-by:

Add a inlined __ variant of copy_from_user_nmi. The inlined variant allows the user to: - batch the access_ok() check for multiple accesses - avoid having a pagefault_disable/enable() on every access if the caller already ensures disabled page faults due to its context. - get all the optimizations in copy_*_user() for small constant sized transfers It is just a define to __copy_from_user_inatomic().

This fixes a bug I added in the following commit: 90405aa0 ("perf/x86/intel/lbr: Limit LBR accesses to TOS in callstack mode") The bug could lead to lost LBR call stacks. When restoring the LBR state we need to use the TOS of the previous context, not the current context. To do that we need to save/restore the TOS. Signed-off-by:

This patch reinforces the lockdep checks performed by perf_cgroup_from_tsk() by passing the perf_event_context whenever possible. It is okay to not hold the RCU read lock when we know we hold the ctx->lock. This patch makes sure this property holds. In some functions, such as perf_cgroup_sched_in(), we do not pass the context because we are sure we are holding the RCU read lock. Signed-off-by:

The RCU checker detected RCU violation in the cgroup switching routines perf_cgroup_sched_in() and perf_cgroup_sched_out(). We were dereferencing cgroup from task without holding the RCU lock. Fix this by holding the RCU read lock. We move the locking from perf_cgroup_switch() to avoid double locking. Signed-off-by:

Merge slub bulk allocator updates from Andrew Morton: "This missed the merge window because I was waiting for some repairs to come in. Nothing actually uses the bulk allocator yet and the changes to other code paths are pretty small. And the net guys are waiting for this so they can start merging the client code" More comments from Jesper Dangaard Brouer: "The kmem_cache_alloc_bulk() call, in mm/slub.c, were included in previous kernel. The present version contains a bug. Vladimir Davydov noticed it contained a bug, when kernel is compiled with CONFIG_MEMCG_KMEM (see commit 03ec0ed5: "slub: fix kmem cgroup bug in kmem_cache_alloc_bulk"). Plus the mem cgroup counterpart in kmem_cache_free_bulk() were missing (see commit 03374518 "slub: add missing kmem cgroup support to kmem_cache_free_bulk"). I don't consider the fix stable-material because there are no in-tree users of the API. But with known bugs (for memcg) I cannot start using the API in the net-tree" * emailed patches from Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org>: slab/slub: adjust kmem_cache_alloc_bulk API slub: add missing kmem cgroup support to kmem_cache_free_bulk slub: fix kmem cgroup bug in kmem_cache_alloc_bulk slub: optimize bulk slowpath free by detached freelist slub: support for bulk free with SLUB freelists

Adjust kmem_cache_alloc_bulk API before we have any real users. Adjust API to return type 'int' instead of previously type 'bool'. This is done to allow future extension of the bulk alloc API. A future extension could be to allow SLUB to stop at a page boundary, when specified by a flag, and then return the number of objects. The advantage of this approach, would make it easier to make bulk alloc run without local IRQs disabled. With an approach of cmpxchg "stealing" the entire c->freelist or page->freelist. To avoid overshooting we would stop processing at a slab-page boundary. Else we always end up returning some objects at the cost of another cmpxchg. To keep compatible with future users of this API linking against an older kernel when using the new flag, we need to return the number of allocated objects with this API change. Signed-off-by:

Initial implementation missed support for kmem cgroup support in kmem_cache_free_bulk() call, add this. If CONFIG_MEMCG_KMEM is not enabled, the compiler should be smart enough to not add any asm code. Incoming bulk free objects can belong to different kmem cgroups, and object free call can happen at a later point outside memcg context. Thus, we need to keep the orig kmem_cache, to correctly verify if a memcg object match against its "root_cache" (s->memcg_params.root_cache). Signed-off-by:

The call slab_pre_alloc_hook() interacts with kmemgc and is not allowed to be called several times inside the bulk alloc for loop, due to the call to memcg_kmem_get_cache(). This would result in hitting the VM_BUG_ON in __memcg_kmem_get_cache. As suggested by Vladimir Davydov, change slab_post_alloc_hook() to be able to handle an array of objects. A subtle detail is, loop iterator "i" in slab_post_alloc_hook() must have same type (size_t) as size argument. This helps the compiler to easier realize that it can remove the loop, when all debug statements inside loop evaluates to nothing. Note, this is only an issue because the kernel is compiled with GCC option: -fno-strict-overflow In slab_alloc_node() the compiler inlines and optimizes the invocation of slab_post_alloc_hook(s, flags, 1, &object) by removing the loop and access object directly.

This change focus on improving the speed of object freeing in the "slowpath" of kmem_cache_free_bulk. The calls slab_free (fastpath) and __slab_free (slowpath) have been extended with support for bulk free, which amortize the overhead of the (locked) cmpxchg_double. To use the new bulking feature, we build what I call a detached freelist. The detached freelist takes advantage of three properties: 1) the free function call owns the object that is about to be freed, thus writing into this memory is synchronization-free. 2) many freelist's can co-exist side-by-side in the same slab-page each with a separate head pointer. 3) it is the visibility of the head pointer that needs synchronization. Given these properties, the brilliant part is that the detached freelist can be constructed without any need for synchronization. The freelist is constructed directly in the page objects, without any synchronization needed. The detached freelist is allocated on the stack of the function call kmem_cache_free_bulk. Thus, the freelist head pointer is not visible to other CPUs. All objects in a SLUB freelist must belong to the same slab-page. Thus, constructing the detached freelist is about matching objects that belong to the same slab-page. The bulk free array is scanned is a progressive manor with a limited look-ahead facility. Kmem debug support is handled in call of slab_free(). Notice kmem_cache_free_bulk no longer need to disable IRQs. This only slowed down single free bulk with approx 3 cycles.

Make it possible to free a freelist with several objects by adjusting API of slab_free() and __slab_free() to have head, tail and an objects counter (cnt). Tail being NULL indicate single object free of head object. This allow compiler inline constant propagation in slab_free() and slab_free_freelist_hook() to avoid adding any overhead in case of single object free. This allows a freelist with several objects (all within the same slab-page) to be free'ed using a single locked cmpxchg_double in __slab_free() and with an unlocked cmpxchg_double in slab_free(). Object debugging on the free path is also extended to handle these freelists. When CONFIG_SLUB_DEBUG is enabled it will also detect if objects don't belong to the same slab-page. These changes are needed for the next patch to bulk free the detached freelists it introduces and constructs. Micro benchmarking showed no performance reduction due to this change, when debugging is turned off (compiled with CONFIG_SLUB_DEBUG). Signed-off-by:

This patch adds huge page support to allow userspace to allocate huge pages and to use hugetlbfs filesystem on 32- and 64-bit Linux kernels. A later patch will add kernel support to map kernel text and data on huge pages. The only requirement is, that the kernel needs to be compiled for a PA8X00 CPU (PA2.0 architecture). Older PA1.X CPUs do not support variable page sizes. 64bit Kernels are compiled for PA2.0 by default. Technically on parisc multiple physical huge pages may be needed to emulate standard 2MB huge pages. Signed-off-by: -

Use the 22bit instead of the 17bit branch instruction on a 64bit kernel to reach the do_syscall_trace_exit function from the gateway page. A huge page enabled kernel may need the additional branch distance bits. Signed-off-by: -

For the 64bit kernel the initially 16 MB kernel memory might become too small if you build a kernel with many modules built-in and with kernel text and data areas mapped on huge pages. This patch increases the initial mapping to 32MB for 64bit kernels and keeps 16MB for 32bit kernels. Signed-off-by: -

A fault vector on parisc needs to be 2K aligned. Furthermore the checksum of the fault vector needs to sum up to 0 which is being calculated and written at runtime. Up to now we aligned both PA20 and PA11 fault vectors on the same 4K page in order to easily write the checksum after having mapped the kernel read-only (by mapping this page only as read-write). But when we want to map the kernel text and data on huge pages this makes things harder. So, simplify it by aligning both fault vectors on 2K boundries and write the checksum before we map the page read-only. Signed-off-by: -

Huge pages on parisc will have the same size as one pmd table, which is on a 64bit kernel 2MB on a kernel with 4K kernel page sizes, and on a 32bit kernel 4MB when used with 4K kernel pages. Since parisc does not physically supports 2MB huge page sizes, emulate it with two consecutive 1MB page sizes instead. Keeping the same huge page size as one pmd will allow us to add transparent huge page support later on. Bit 21 in the pte flags was unused and will now be used to mark a page as huge page (_PAGE_HPAGE_BIT). Signed-off-by: -
