Make the VPA, SLB shadow and DTL registration and deregistration functions print consistent messages on error. I needed the firmware error code while chasing a kexec bug but we weren't printing it. Signed-off-by:

Anton Blanchard authored
Recent versions of firmware will fail to unmap the virtual processor area if we have a dispatch trace log registered. This causes kexec to fail. If a trace log is registered this patch unregisters it before the SLB shadow and virtual processor areas, fixing the problem. The address argument is ignored by firmware on unregister so we may as well remove it. Signed-off-by:

KVM_GUEST adds a 1 MB array to the kernel (kvm_tmp) which grew my kernel enough to cause it to fail to boot. Dynamically allocating or reducing the size of this array is a good idea, but in the meantime I think it makes sense to make KVM_GUEST default to n in order to minimise surprises. Signed-off-by:

We are seeing boot failures on some very large boxes even with commit b5416ca9 (powerpc: Move kdump default base address to 64MB on 64bit). This patch halves the RMO so both kernels get about the same amount of RMO memory. On large machines this region will be at least 256MB, so each kernel will get 128MB. We cap it at 256MB (small SLB size) since some early allocations need to be in the bolted SLB region. We could relax this on machines with 1TB SLBs in a future patch. Signed-off-by:

To handle the page fault the mmap_sem is needed, but it is currently held by setup_arg_pages. (setup_arg_pages calls shift_arg_pages with the mmap_sem held. shift_arg_pages then calls move_page_tables which has a cond_resched at the top of its for loop - hitting that cond_resched is what caused the context switch.) This is an extension of Anton's proposed patch: https://lkml.org/lkml/2011/7/24/151 adding case for 32-bit ppc. Tested on the system that first generated the panic and then again with latest kernel using a PPC VM. I am not able to test the 64-bit path - I do not have H/W for it and 64-bit PPC VMs (qemu on Intel) is horribly slow. Signed-off-by:

I hit an oops at boot on the first instruction of timer_cpu_notify: NIP [c000000000722f88] .timer_cpu_notify+0x0/0x388 The code should look like: c000000000722f78: eb e9 00 30 ld r31,48(r9) c000000000722f7c: 2f bf 00 00 cmpdi cr7,r31,0 c000000000722f80: 40 9e ff 44 bne+ cr7,c000000000722ec4 c000000000722f84: 4b ff ff 74 b c000000000722ef8 c000000000722f88 <.timer_cpu_notify>: c000000000722f88: 7c 08 02 a6 mflr r0 c000000000722f8c: 2f a4 00 07 cmpdi cr7,r4,7 c000000000722f90: fb c1 ff f0 std r30,-16(r1) c000000000722f94: fb 61 ff d8 std r27,-40(r1) But the oops output shows: eb61ffd8 eb81ffe0 eba1ffe8 ebc1fff0 7c0803a6 ebe1fff8 4e800020 00000000 ebe90030 c0000000 00ad0a28 00000000 2fa40007 fbc1fff0 fb61ffd8 So we scribbled over our instructions with c000000000ad0a28, which is an address inside the jump_table ELF section. It turns out the jump_table section is only aligned to 8 bytes but we are aligning our entries within the section to 16 bytes. This means our entries are offset from the table: c000000000acd4a8 <__start___jump_table>: ... c000000000ad0a10: c0 00 00 00 lfs f0,0(0) c000000000ad0a14: 00 70 cd 5c .long 0x70cd5c c000000000ad0a18: c0 00 00 00 lfs f0,0(0) c000000000ad0a1c: 00 70 cd 90 .long 0x70cd90 c000000000ad0a20: c0 00 00 00 lfs f0,0(0) c000000000ad0a24: 00 ac a4 20 .long 0xaca420 And the jump table sort code gets very confused and writes into the wrong spot. Remove the alignment, and also remove the padding since we it saves some space and we shouldn't need it. Signed-off-by: -

I have a box that fails in OF during boot with: DEFAULT CATCH!, exception-handler=fff00400 at %SRR0: 49424d2c4c6f6768 %SRR1: 800000004000b002 ie "IBM,Logh". OF got corrupted with a device tree string. Looking at make_room and alloc_up, we claim the first chunk (1 MB) but we never claim any more. mem_end is always set to alloc_top which is the top of our available address space, guaranteeing we will never call alloc_up and claim more memory. Also alloc_up wasn't setting alloc_bottom to the bottom of the available address space. This doesn't help the box to boot, but we at least fail with an obvious error. We could relocate the device tree in a future patch. Signed-off-by:

Commit af9eef3c caused cpu_setup to see the_cpu_spec, rather than the source struct. However, on 32-bit, the return value of identify_cpu was being used for feature fixups, and identify_cpu was returning the source struct. So if cpu_setup patches the feature bits, the update won't affect the fixups. Signed-off-by:

Add a cast in case the caller passes in a different type, as it would if mtspr/mtmsr were functions. Previously, if a 64-bit type was passed in on 32-bit, GCC would bind the constraint to a pair of registers, and would substitute the first register in the pair in the asm code. This corresponds to the upper half of the 64-bit register, which is generally not the desired behavior. Signed-off-by:

While `pci_eisa_driver' still refer `pci_eisa_init', the .probe() function should not be called after init memory release, as pointed out by commit 74b9a297. The structure is still referenced in the drivers subsystem, and can be accesseed through sysfs, so the modpost warning is a false positive. Mark it as such. In the same time, the warning referenced in 005bdad7 did only mention `pci_eisa_driver', not `pci_eisa_pci_tbl', so remove its marking.

of_alias_get_id() is broken and being reverted. Remove the reference to it and replace with a single incrementing id number. There is no risk of regression here on the imx driver since the imx change to use of_alias_get_id() is commit 22698aa2, "serial/imx: add device tree probe support" which is new for v3.1, and it won't get used unless CONFIG_OF is enabled and the board is booted using a device tree. A single incrementing integer is sufficient for now. Signed-off-by:

The core device layer sends tons of uevent notifications for each device it finds, and if the kernel has been built with a non-empty CONFIG_UEVENT_HELPER_PATH that will make us try to execute the usermode helper binary for all these events very early in the boot. Not only won't the root filesystem even be mounted at that point, we literally won't have necessarily even initialized all the process handling data structures at that point, which causes no end of silly problems even when the usermode helper doesn't actually succeed in executing. So just use our existing infrastructure to disable the usermodehelpers to make the kernel start out with them disabled. We enable them when we've at least initialized stuff a bit. Problems related to an uninitialized init_ipc_ns.ids[IPC_SHM_IDS].rw_mutex reported by various people. Reported-by:

We may optimistically check .in_use == 0 without holding the rw_mutex: it's the common case, and if it's zero, there certainly won't be any segments associated with us. After taking the lock, the idr_for_each() will do the right thing, so we could now drop the re-check inside the lock without any real cost. But it won't hurt. Signed-off-by:

Make the radix_tree exceptional cases, mostly in filemap.c, clearer. It's hard to devise a suitable snappy name that illuminates the use by shmem/tmpfs for swap, while keeping filemap/pagecache/radix_tree generality. And akpm points out that /* radix_tree_deref_retry(page) */ comments look like calls that have been commented out for unknown reason. Skirt the naming difficulty by rearranging these blocks to handle the transient radix_tree_deref_retry(page) case first; then just explain the remaining shmem/tmpfs swap case in a comment.

We have already acknowledged that swapoff of a tmpfs file is slower than it was before conversion to the generic radix_tree: a little slower there will be acceptable, if the hotter paths are faster. But it was a shock to find swapoff of a 500MB file 20 times slower on my laptop, taking 10 minutes; and at that rate it significantly slows down my testing. Now, most of that turned out to be overhead from PROVE_LOCKING and PROVE_RCU: without those it was only 4 times slower than before; and more realistic tests on other machines don't fare as badly. I've tried a number of things to improve it, including tagging the swap entries, then doing lookup by tag: I'd expected that to halve the time, but in practice it's erratic, and often counter-productive. The only change I've so far found to make a consistent improvement, is to short-circuit the way we go back and forth, gang lookup packing entries into the array supplied, then shmem scanning that array for the target entry. Scanning in place doubles the speed, so it's now only twice as slow as before (or three times slower when the PROVEs are on). So, add radix_tree_locate_item() as an expedient, once-off, single-caller hack to do the lookup directly in place. #ifdef it on CONFIG_SHMEM and CONFIG_SWAP, as much to document its limited applicability as save space in other configurations. And, sadly, #include sched.h for cond_resched(). Signed-off-by:

And mincore_page() uses find_get_page() on what might be shmem or a tmpfs file: allow for a radix_tree_exceptional_entry(), and proceed to find_get_page() on swapper_space if so (oh, swapper_space needs #ifdef).

But we've not yet removed the old swp_entry_t i_direct[16] from shmem_inode_info. That's because it was still being shared with the inline symlink. Remove it now (saving 64 or 128 bytes from shmem inode size), and use kmemdup() for short symlinks, say, those up to 128 bytes. I wonder why mpol_free_shared_policy() is done in shmem_destroy_inode() rather than shmem_evict_inode(), where we usually do such freeing? I guess it doesn't matter, and I'm not into NUMA mpol testing right now. Signed-off-by:

Convert shmem_writepage() to use shmem_delete_from_page_cache() to use shmem_radix_tree_replace() to substitute swap entry for page pointer atomically in the radix tree. As with shmem_add_to_page_cache(), it's not entirely satisfactory to be copying such code from delete_from_swap_cache, but again judged easier to sell than making its other callers go through the extras. Remove the toy implementation's shmem_put_swap() and shmem_get_swap(), now unreferenced, and the hack to disable swap: it's now good to go. The way things have worked out, info->lock no longer helps to guard the shmem_swaplist: we increment swapped under shmem_swaplist_mutex only. That global mutex exclusion between shmem_writepage() and shmem_unuse() is not pretty, and we ought to find another way; but it's been forced on us by recent race discoveries, not a consequence of this patchset. And what has become of the WARN_ON_ONCE(1) free_swap_and_cache() if a swap entry was found already present? That's no longer possible, the (unknown) one inserting this page into filecache would hit the swap entry occupying that slot. Signed-off-by:

Remove mem_cgroup_shmem_charge_fallback(): it was only required when we had to move swappage to filecache with GFP_NOWAIT. Remove the GFP_NOWAIT special case from mem_cgroup_cache_charge(), by moving its call out from shmem_add_to_page_cache() to two of thats three callers. But leave it doing mem_cgroup_uncharge_cache_page() on error: although asymmetrical, it's easier for all 3 callers to handle. These two changes would also be appropriate if anyone were to start using shmem_read_mapping_page_gfp() with GFP_NOWAIT. Remove mem_cgroup_get_shmem_target(): mc_handle_file_pte() can test radix_tree_exceptional_entry() to get what it needs for itself. Signed-off-by:
