      mm: allow compaction of unevictable pages · 5bbe3547
      Eric B Munson authored
      Currently, pages which are marked as unevictable are protected from
      compaction, but not from other types of migration.  The POSIX real time
      extension explicitly states that mlock() will prevent a major page
      fault, but the spirit of this is that mlock() should give a process the
      ability to control sources of latency, including minor page faults.
      However, the mlock manpage only explicitly says that a locked page will
      not be written to swap and this can cause some confusion.  The
      compaction code today does not give a developer who wants to avoid swap
      but wants to have large contiguous areas available any method to achieve
      this state.  This patch introduces a sysctl for controlling compaction
      behavior with respect to the unevictable lru.  Users who demand no page
      faults after a page is present can set compact_unevictable_allowed to 0
      and users who need the large contiguous areas can enable compaction on
      locked memory by leaving the default value of 1.
      
      To illustrate this problem I wrote a quick test program that mmaps a
      large number of 1MB files filled with random data.  These maps are
      created locked and read only.  Then every other mmap is unmapped and I
      attempt to allocate huge pages to the static huge page pool.  When the
      compact_unevictable_allowed sysctl is 0, I cannot allocate hugepages
      after fragmenting memory.  When the value is set to 1, allocations
      succeed.

      mm: avoid tail page refcounting on non-THP compound pages · 8d63d99a
      Kirill A. Shutemov authored
      THP uses tail page refcounting to be able to split huge pages at any time.
       Tail page refcounting is not needed for other users of compound pages and
      it's harmful because of overhead.
      
      We try to exclude non-THP pages from tail page refcounting using
      __compound_tail_refcounted() check.  It excludes most common non-THP
      compound pages: SL*B and hugetlb, but it doesn't catch rest of __GFP_COMP
      users -- drivers.
      
      And it's not only about overhead.
      
      Drivers might want to use compound pages to get refcounting semantics
      suitable for mapping high-order pages to userspace.  But tail page
      refcounting breaks it.
      
      Tail page refcounting uses ->_mapcount in tail pages to store GUP pins on
      them.  It means GUP pins would affect page_mapcount() for tail pages.
      It's not a problem for THP, because it never maps tail pages.  But unlike
      THP, drivers map parts of compound pages with PTEs and it makes
      page_mapcount() be called for tail pages.
      
      In particular, GUP pins would shift PSS up and affect /proc/kpagecount for
      such pages.  But, I'm not aware about anything which can lead to crash or
      other serious misbehaviour.
      
      Since currently all THP pages are anonymous and all drivers pages are not,
      we can fix the __compound_tail_refcounted() check by requiring PageAnon()
      to enable tail page refcounting.

      mm: consolidate all page-flags helpers in <linux/page-flags.h> · e8c6158f
      Kirill A. Shutemov authored
      Currently we take a naive approach to page flags on compound pages - we
      set the flag on the page without consideration if the flag makes sense
      for tail page or for compound page in general.  This patchset try to
      sort this out by defining per-flag policy on what need to be done if
      page-flag helper operate on compound page.
      
      The last patch in the patchset also sanitizes usege of page->mapping for
      tail pages.  We don't define the meaning of page->mapping for tail
      pages.  Currently it's always NULL, which can be inconsistent with head
      page and potentially lead to problems.
      
      For now I caught one case of illegal usage of page flags or ->mapping:
      sound subsystem allocates pages with __GFP_COMP and maps them with PTEs.
      It leads to setting dirty bit on tail pages and access to tail_page's
      ->mapping.  I don't see any bad behaviour caused by this, but worth
      fixing anyway.
      
      This patchset makes more sense if you take my THP refcounting into
      account: we will see more compound pages mapped with PTEs and we need to
      define behaviour of flags on compound pages to avoid bugs.
      
      This patch (of 16):
      
      We have page-flags helper function declarations/definitions spread over
      several header files.  Let's consolidate them in <linux/page-flags.h>.

      memcg: zap mem_cgroup_lookup() · adbe427b
      Vladimir Davydov authored
      mem_cgroup_lookup() is a wrapper around mem_cgroup_from_id(), which
      checks that id != 0 before issuing the function call.  Today, there is
      no point in this additional check apart from optimization, because there
      is no css with id <= 0, so that css_from_id, called by
      mem_cgroup_from_id, will return NULL for any id <= 0.
      
      Since mem_cgroup_from_id is only called from mem_cgroup_lookup, let us
      zap mem_cgroup_lookup, substituting calls to it with mem_cgroup_from_id
      and moving the check if id > 0 to css_from_id.

          can support hw switch offloading.  From Floria Fainelli.
      
       3) Allow 'ip address' commands to initiate multicast group join/leave,
          from Madhu Challa.

       5) Support EBPF in cls_bpf classifier and act_bpf action, from Daniel
          Borkmann.
      
       6) Remove the ugly compat support in ARP for ugly layers like ax25,
          rose, etc.  And use this to clean up the neigh layer, then use it to
          implement MPLS support.  All from Eric Biederman.
      
       7) Support L3 forwarding offloading in switches, from Scott Feldman.
      
       8) Collapse the LOCAL and MAIN ipv4 FIB tables when possible, to speed
          up route lookups even further.  From Alexander Duyck.
      
       9) Many improvements and bug fixes to the rhashtable implementation,
          from Herbert Xu and Thomas Graf.  In particular, in the case where
          an rhashtable user bulk adds a large number of items into an empty
          table, we expand the table much more sanely.
      
      10) Don't make the tcp_metrics hash table per-namespace, from Eric
          Biederman.
      
      11) Extend EBPF to access SKB fields, from Alexei Starovoitov.
      
      12) Split out new connection request sockets so that they can be
          established in the main hash table.  Much less false sharing since
          hash lookups go direct to the request sockets instead of having to
          go first to the listener then to the request socks hashed
          underneath.  From Eric Dumazet.
      
      13) Add async I/O support for crytpo AF_ALG sockets, from Tadeusz Struk.
      
      14) Support stable privacy address generation for RFC7217 in IPV6.  From
          Hannes Frederic Sowa.

      Pull ARM updates from Russell King:
       "Included in this update are both some long term fixes and some new
        features.
      
        Fixes:
      
         - An integer overflow in the calculation of ELF_ET_DYN_BASE.
      
         - Avoiding OOMs for high-order IOMMU allocations
      
         - SMP requires the data cache to be enabled for synchronisation
           primitives to work, so prevent the CPU_DCACHE_DISABLE option being
           visible on SMP builds.
      
         - A bug going back 10+ years in the noMMU ARM94* CPU support code,
           where it corrupts registers.  Found by folk getting Linux running
           on their cameras.
      
         - Versatile Express needs an errata workaround enabled for CPU
           hot-unplug to work.
      
        Features:
      
         - Clean up module linker by handling out of range relocations
           separately from relocation cases we don't handle.
      
         - Fix a long term bug in the pci_mmap_page_range() code, which we
           hope won't impact userspace (we hope there's no users of the
           existing broken interface.)
      
         - Don't map DMA coherent allocations when we don't have a MMU.
      
         - Drop experimental status for SMP_ON_UP.
      
         - Warn when DT doesn't specify ePAPR mandatory cache properties.
      
         - Add documentation concerning how we find the start of physical
           memory for AUTO_ZRELADDR kernels, detailing why we have chosen the
           mask and the implications of changing it.
      
         - Updates from Ard Biesheuvel to address some issues with large
           kernels (such as allyesconfig) failing to link.
      
         - Allow hibernation to work on modern (ARMv7) CPUs - this appears to
           have never worked in the past on these CPUs.
      
         - Enable IRQ_SHOW_LEVEL, which changes the /proc/interrupts output
           format (hopefully without userspace breaking...  let's hope that if
           it causes someone a problem, they tell us.)
      
         - Fix tegra-ahb DT offsets.
      
         - Rework ARM errata 643719 code (and ARMv7 flush_cache_louis()/
           flush_dcache_all()) code to be more efficient, and enable this
           errata workaround by default for ARMv7+SMP CPUs.  This complements
           the Versatile Express fix above.
      
         - Rework ARMv7 context code for errata 430973, so that only Cortex A8
           CPUs are impacted by the branch target buffer flush when this
           errata is enabled.  Also update the help text to indicate that all
           r1p* A8 CPUs are impacted.
      
         - Switch ARM to the generic show_mem() implementation, it conveys all
           the information which we were already reporting.
      
         - Prevent slow timer sources being used for udelay() - timers running
           at less than 1MHz are not useful for this, and can cause udelay()
           to return immediately, without any wait.  Using such a slow timer
           is silly.
      
         - VDSO support for 32-bit ARM, mainly for gettimeofday() using the
           ARM architected timer.
      
         - Perf support for Scorpion performance monitoring units"

      Pull power management and ACPI updates from Rafael Wysocki:
       "These are mostly fixes and cleanups all over, although there are a few
        items that sort of fall into the new feature category.
      
        First off, we have new callbacks for PM domains that should help us to
        handle some issues related to device initialization in a better way.
      
        There also is some consolidation in the unified device properties API
        area allowing us to use that inferface for accessing data coming from
        platform initialization code in addition to firmware-provided data.
      
        We have some new device/CPU IDs in a few drivers, support for new
        chips and a new cpufreq driver too.
      
        Specifics:
      
         - Generic PM domains support update including new PM domain callbacks
           to handle device initialization better (Russell King, Rafael J
           Wysocki, Kevin Hilman)
      
         - Unified device properties API update including a new mechanism for
           accessing data provided by platform initialization code (Rafael J

           (Daniel Lezcano)
      
         - intel_idle update including support for the Silvermont Core in the
           Baytrail SOC and for the Airmont Core in the Cherrytrail and
           Braswell SOCs (Len Brown, Mathias Krause)
      
         - New cpufreq driver for Hisilicon ACPU (Leo Yan)
      
         - intel_pstate update including support for the Knights Landing chip
           (Dasaratharaman Chandramouli, Kristen Carlson Accardi)

         - powernv cpufreq driver update (Shilpasri G Bhat)
      
         - devfreq update including Tegra support changes (Tomeu Vizoso,
           MyungJoo Ham, Chanwoo Choi)
      
         - powercap RAPL (Running-Average Power Limit) driver update including
           support for Intel Broadwell server chips (Jacob Pan, Mathias Krause)
      
         - ACPI device enumeration update related to the handling of the
           special PRP0001 device ID allowing DT-style 'compatible' property
           to be used for ACPI device identification (Rafael J Wysocki)
      
         - ACPI EC driver update including limited _DEP support (Lan Tianyu,
           Lv Zheng)
      
         - ACPI backlight driver update including a new mechanism to allow
           native backlight handling to be forced on non-Windows 8 systems and
           a new quirk for Lenovo Ideapad Z570 (Aaron Lu, Hans de Goede)
      
         - New Windows Vista compatibility quirk for Sony VGN-SR19XN (Chen Yu)
      
         - Assorted ACPI fixes and cleanups (Aaron Lu, Martin Kepplinger,
           Masanari Iida, Mika Westerberg, Nan Li, Rafael J Wysocki)
      
         - Fixes related to suspend-to-idle for the iTCO watchdog driver and
           the ACPI core system suspend/resume code (Rafael J Wysocki, Chen Yu)

      ====================
      Intel Wired LAN Driver Updates 2015-04-14
      
      This series contains updates to fm10k only.
      
      Fixed transmit statistics which was actually using values from the
      receive ring, instead of the transmit ring.  Fixed up spelling mistakes
      in code comments and resolved unused argument warnings.  Added support
      for netconsole.  Fixed up statistic reporting so that we are only
      reporting from actual queues as well as display PF only stats for
      just the PF and not the VF.  Also fixed an issue that when returning
      virtualization queues from the VF back to the PF, we were retaining
      the VF rate limiter.
      
      Fixed up the driver to use a separate workqueue, which helps reduce
      and stabilize latency between scheduling the work in our interrupt and
      actually performing the work.
      
      Fixed a bug where the VF tried to set a multicast address before
      requesting the required xcast mode.
      
      Fix VF multicast update since VFs were being improperly added to the
      switch's mutlicast group.  The error stems from the fact that incorrect
      arguments were passed to the update_mc_addr().
      
      Thanks to Alex Duyck for the extensive review.
