[Needed for HSDK] Currently the first page of system (hence RAM base) is assumed to be @ CONFIG_LINUX_LINK_BASE, where kernel itself is linked. However is case of HSDK platform, for reasons explained in that patch, this is not true. kernel needs to be linked @ 0x9000_0000 while DDR is still wired at 0x8000_0000. To properly account for this 256M of RAM, we need to introduce a new option and base page frame accountiing off of it.

[Needed for HSDK] - Currently IOC base is hardcoded to 0x8000_0000 which is default value of LINUX_LINK_BASE, but may not always be the case - IOC programming model imposes the constraint that IOC aperture size needs to be aligned to IOC base address, which we were not checking so far.

Current implementation relies on L1 line length which might easily be smaller than L2 line (which is usually the case BTW). Imagine this typical case: L2 line is 128 bytes while L1 line is 64-bytes. Now we want to allocate small buffer and later use it for DMA (consider IOC is not available). kmalloc() allocates small KMALLOC_MIN_SIZE-sized, KMALLOC_MIN_SIZE-aligned That way if buffer happens to be aligned to L1 line and not L2 line we'll be flushing and invalidating extra portions of data from L2 which will cause cache coherency issues. And since KMALLOC_MIN_SIZE is bound to ARCH_DMA_MINALIGN the fix could be simple - set ARCH_DMA_MINALIGN to the largest cache line we may ever get. As of today neither L1 of ARC700 and ARC HS38 nor SLC might not be longer than 128 bytes. Signed-off-by: Alexey Brodkin <abrodkin@synopsys.com> Signed-off-by: Vineet Gupta <vgupta@synopsys.com>

This commit add new configuration that enables us to distinguish between building the kernel for platforms that have a different set of auxiliary registers for each cpu and platforms that have a shared set of auxiliary registers across every thread in each core. On platforms that implement a different set of auxiliary registers disabling this configuration insures that we initialize registers on every cpu and not just for the first thread of the core.

On ARC700 (and nSIM), user mode memory error triggers an L2 interrupt which is handled gracefully by kernel (or it tries to despite this being imprecise, and error could get charged to kernel itself). The offending task is killed and kernel moves on. NPS hardware however raises a Machine Check exception for same error which is NOT recoverable by kernel. This patch aligns kernel handling for nSIM case, to same as hardware by overriding the default user space bus error handler.

In the conversion from the old iommu sysfs-code to the iommu_device_register interface, I missed to update the release path for the struct device associated with an IOMMU. It freed the 'struct device', which was a pointer before, but is now embedded in another struct. Freeing from the middle of allocated memory had all kinds of nasty side effects when an IOMMU was unplugged. Unfortunatly nobody unplugged and IOMMU until now, so this was not discovered earlier.

The "lock_page_killable()" function waits for exclusive access to the page lock bit using the WQ_FLAG_EXCLUSIVE bit in the waitqueue entry set. That means that if it gets woken up, other waiters may have been skipped. That, in turn, means that if it sees the page being unlocked, it *must* take that lock and return success, even if a lethal signal is also pending. So instead of checking for lethal signals first, we need to check for them after we've checked the actual bit that we were waiting for. Even if that might then delay the killing of the process. This matches the order of the old "wait_on_bit_lock()" infrastructure that the page locking used to use (and is still used in a few other areas). Note that if we still return an error after having unsuccessfully tried to acquire the page lock, that is ok: that means that some other thread was able to get ahead of us and lock the page, and when that other thread then unlocks the page, the wakeup event will be repeated. So any other pending waiters will now get properly woken up.

Tim Chen and Kan Liang have been battling a customer load that shows extremely long page wakeup lists. The cause seems to be constant NUMA migration of a hot page that is shared across a lot of threads, but the actual root cause for the exact behavior has not been found. Tim has a patch that batches the wait list traversal at wakeup time, so that we at least don't get long uninterruptible cases where we traverse and wake up thousands of processes and get nasty latency spikes. That is likely 4.14 material, but we're still discussing the page waitqueue specific parts of it. In the meantime, I've tried to look at making the page wait queues less expensive, and failing miserably. If you have thousands of threads waiting for the same page, it will be painful. We'll need to try to figure out the NUMA balancing issue some day, in addition to avoiding the excessive spinlock hold times. That said, having tried to rewrite the page wait queues, I can at least fix up some of the braindamage in the current situation. In particular: (a) we don't want to continue walking the page wait list if the bit we're waiting for already got set again (which seems to be one of the patterns of the bad load). That makes no progress and just causes pointless cache pollution chasing the pointers. (b) we don't want to put the non-locking waiters always on the front of the queue, and the locking waiters always on the back. Not only is that unfair, it means that we wake up thousands of reading threads that will just end up being blocked by the writer later anyway. Also add a comment about the layout of 'struct wait_page_key' - there is an external user of it in the cachefiles code that means that it has to match the layout of 'struct wait_bit_key' in the two first members. It so happens to match, because 'struct page *' and 'unsigned long *' end up having the same values simply because the page flags are the first member in struct page.

We have a MAX_LFS_FILESIZE macro that is meant to be filled in by filesystems (and other IO targets) that know they are 64-bit clean and don't have any 32-bit limits in their IO path. It turns out that our 32-bit value for that limit was bogus. On 32-bit, the VM layer is limited by the page cache to only 32-bit index values, but our logic for that was confusing and actually wrong. We used to define that value to (((loff_t)PAGE_SIZE << (BITS_PER_LONG-1))-1) which is actually odd in several ways: it limits the index to 31 bits, and then it limits files so that they can't have data in that last byte of a page that has the highest 31-bit index (ie page index 0x7fffffff). Neither of those limitations make sense. The index is actually the full 32 bit unsigned value, and we can use that whole full page. So the maximum size of the file would logically be "PAGE_SIZE << BITS_PER_LONG". However, we do wan tto avoid the maximum index, because we have code that iterates over the page indexes, and we don't want that code to overflow. So the maximum size of a file on a 32-bit host should actually be one page less than the full 32-bit index. So the actual limit is ULONG_MAX << PAGE_SHIFT. That means that we will not actually be using the page of that last index (ULONG_MAX), but we can grow a file up to that limit. The wrong value of MAX_LFS_FILESIZE actually caused problems for Doug Nazar, who was still using a 32-bit host, but with a 9.7TB 2 x RAID5 volume. It turns out that our old MAX_LFS_FILESIZE was 8TiB (well, one byte less), but the actual true VM limit is one page less than 16TiB. This was invisible until commit c2a9737f ("vfs,mm: fix a dead loop in truncate_inode_pages_range()"), which started applying that MAX_LFS_FILESIZE limit to block devices too. NOTE! On 64-bit, the page index isn't a limiter at all, and the limit is actually just the offset type itself (loff_t), which is signed. But for clarity, on 64-bit, just use the maximum signed value, and don't make people have to count the number of 'f' characters in the hex constant. So just use LLONG_MAX for the 64-bit case. That was what the value had been before too, just written out as a hex constant.
