Add a NODE level to the generic cache events which is used to measure local vs remote memory accesses. Like all other cache events, an ACCESS is HIT+MISS, if there is no way to distinguish between reads and writes do reads only etc.. The below needs filling out for !x86 (which I filled out with unsupported events). I'm fairly sure ARM can leave it like that since it doesn't strike me as an architecture that even has NUMA support. SH might have something since it does appear to have some NUMA bits. Sparc64, PowerPC and MIPS certainly want a good look there since they clearly are NUMA capable. Signed-off-by:

This patch adds Intel Sandy Bridge offcore_response support by providing the low-level constraint table for those events. On Sandy Bridge, there are two offcore_response events. Each uses its own dedictated extra register. But those registers are NOT shared between sibling CPUs when HT is on unlike Nehalem/Westmere. They are always private to each CPU. But they still need to be controlled within an event group. All events within an event group must use the same value for the extra MSR. That's not controlled by the second patch in this series. Furthermore on Sandy Bridge, the offcore_response events have NO counter constraints contrary to what the official documentation indicates, so drop the events from the contraint table. Signed-off-by:

The validate_group() function needs to validate events with extra shared regs. Within an event group, only events with the same value for the extra reg can co-exist. This was not checked by validate_group() because it was missing the shared_regs logic. This patch changes the allocation of the fake cpuc used for validation to also point to a fake shared_regs structure such that group events be properly testing. It modifies __intel_shared_reg_get_constraints() to use spin_lock_irqsave() to avoid lockdep issues. Signed-off-by:

This patch improves the code managing the extra shared registers used for offcore_response events on Intel Nehalem/Westmere. The idea is to use static allocation instead of dynamic allocation. This simplifies greatly the get and put constraint routines for those events. The patch also renames per_core to shared_regs because the same data structure gets used whether or not HT is on. When HT is off, those events still need to coordination because they use a extra MSR that has to be shared within an event group. Signed-off-by:

Since only samples call perf_output_sample() its much saner (and more correct) to put the sample logic in there than in the perf_output_begin()/perf_output_end() pair. Saves a useless argument, reduces conditionals and shrinks struct perf_output_handle, win! Signed-off-by:

The nmi parameter indicated if we could do wakeups from the current context, if not, we would set some state and self-IPI and let the resulting interrupt do the wakeup. For the various event classes: - hardware: nmi=0; PMI is in fact an NMI or we run irq_work_run from the PMI-tail (ARM etc.) - tracepoint: nmi=0; since tracepoint could be from NMI context. - software: nmi=[0,1]; some, like the schedule thing cannot perform wakeups, and hence need 0. As one can see, there is very little nmi=1 usage, and the down-side of not using it is that on some platforms some software events can have a jiffy delay in wakeup (when arch_irq_work_raise isn't implemented). The up-side however is that we can remove the nmi parameter and save a bunch of conditionals in fast paths. Signed-off-by: -

Due to restriction and specifics of Netburst PMU we need a separated event for NMI watchdog. In particular every Netburst event consumes not just a counter and a config register, but also an additional ESCR register. Since ESCR registers are grouped upon counters (i.e. if ESCR is occupied for some event there is no room for another event to enter until its released) we need to pick up the "least" used ESCR (or the most available one) for nmi-watchdog purposes -- so MSR_P4_CRU_ESCR2/3 was chosen. With this patch nmi-watchdog and perf top should be able to run simultaneously. Signed-off-by:

The event tracing infrastructure exposes two timers which should be updated each time the value of the counter is updated. Currently, these counters are only updated when userspace calls read() on the fd associated with an event. This means that counters which are read via the mmap'd page exclusively never have their timers updated. This patch adds ensures that the timers are updated each time the values in the mmap'd page are updated. Signed-off-by:

Since 2.6.36 (specifically commit d57e34fd ("perf: Simplify the ring-buffer logic: make perf_buffer_alloc() do everything needed"), the perf_buffer_init_code() has been mis-setting the buffer watermark if perf_event_attr.wakeup_events has a non-zero value. This is because perf_event_attr.wakeup_events is a union with perf_event_attr.wakeup_watermark. This commit re-enables the check for perf_event_attr.watermark being set before continuing with setting a non-default watermark. This bug is most noticable when you are trying to use PERF_IOC_REFRESH with a value larger than one and perf_event_attr.wakeup_events is set to one. In this case the buffer watermark will be set to 1 and you will get extraneous POLL_IN overflows rather than POLL_HUP as expected. [ avoid using attr.wakeup_events when attr.watermark is set ] Signed-off-by:

When auditing the locking in i915_gem.c (for a prospective change which I then abandoned), I noticed two places where struct_mutex is not held across GEM object manipulations that would usually require it. Since one is in initial setup and the other in driver unload, I'm guessing the mutex is not required for either; but post a patch in case it is. Signed-off-by:

The interface to ->truncate_range is changing very slightly: once "tmpfs: take control of its truncate_range" has been applied, this can be applied. For now there is only a slight inefficiency while this remains unapplied, but it will soon become essential for managing shmem's use of swap. Change i915_gem_object_truncate() to use shmem_truncate_range() directly: which should also spare i915 later change if we switch from inode_operations->truncate_range to file_operations->fallocate.

Soon tmpfs will stop supporting ->readpage and read_cache_page_gfp(): once "tmpfs: add shmem_read_mapping_page_gfp" has been applied, this patch can be applied to ease the transition. Make i915_gem_object_get_pages_gtt() use shmem_read_mapping_page_gfp() in the one place it's needed; elsewhere use shmem_read_mapping_page(), with the mapping's gfp_mask properly initialized. Forget about __GFP_COLD: since tmpfs initializes its pages with memset, asking for a cold page is counter-productive. Include linux/shmem_fs.h also in drm_gem.c: with shmem_file_setup() now declared there too, we shall remove the prototype from linux/mm.h later. Signed-off-by:

Commit d149e3b2 ("memcg: add the soft_limit reclaim in global direct reclaim") adds a softlimit hook to shrink_zones(). By this, soft limit is called as try_to_free_pages() do_try_to_free_pages() shrink_zones() mem_cgroup_soft_limit_reclaim() Then, direct reclaim is memcg softlimit hint aware, now. But, the memory cgroup's "limit" path can call softlimit shrinker. try_to_free_mem_cgroup_pages() do_try_to_free_pages() shrink_zones() mem_cgroup_soft_limit_reclaim() This will cause a global reclaim when a memcg hits limit. This is bug. soft_limit_reclaim() should be called when scanning_global_lru(sc) == true. And the commit adds a variable "total_scanned" for counting softlimit scanned pages....it's not "total". This patch removes the variable and update sc->nr_scanned instead of it. This will affect shrink_slab()'s scan condition but, global LRU is scanned by softlimit and I think this change makes sense. TODO: avoid too much scanning of a zone when softlimit did enough work. Signed-off-by:

Currently a single process may register exit handlers unlimited times. It may lead to a bloated listeners chain and very slow process terminations. Eg after 10KK sent TASKSTATS_CMD_ATTR_REGISTER_CPUMASKs ~300 Mb of kernel memory is stolen for the handlers chain and "time id" shows 2-7 seconds instead of normal 0.003. It makes it possible to exhaust all kernel memory and to eat much of CPU time by triggerring numerous exits on a single CPU. The patch limits the number of times a single process may register itself on a single CPU to one. One little issue is kept unfixed - as taskstats_exit() is called before exit_files() in do_exit(), the orphaned listener entry (if it was not explicitly deregistered) is kept until the next someone's exit() and implicit deregistration in send_cpu_listeners(). So, if a process registered itself as a listener exits and the next spawned process gets the same pid, it would inherit taskstats attributes. Signed-off-by:

Under heavy memory and filesystem load, users observe the assertion mapping->nrpages == 0 in end_writeback() trigger. This can be caused by page reclaim reclaiming the last page from a mapping in the following race: CPU0 CPU1 ... shrink_page_list() __remove_mapping() __delete_from_page_cache() radix_tree_delete() evict_inode() truncate_inode_pages() truncate_inode_pages_range() pagevec_lookup() - finds nothing end_writeback() mapping->nrpages != 0 -> BUG page->mapping = NULL mapping->nrpages-- Fix the problem by doing a reliable check of mapping->nrpages under mapping->tree_lock in end_writeback().

Although it is used (by i915) on nothing but tmpfs, read_cache_page_gfp() is unsuited to tmpfs, because it inserts a page into pagecache before calling the filesystem's ->readpage: tmpfs may have pages in swapcache which only it knows how to locate and switch to filecache. At present tmpfs provides a ->readpage method, and copes with this by copying pages; but soon we can simplify it by removing its ->readpage. Provide shmem_read_mapping_page_gfp() now, ready for that transition, Export shmem_read_mapping_page_gfp() and add it to list in shmem_fs.h, with shmem_read_mapping_page() inline for the common mapping_gfp case. (shmem_read_mapping_page_gfp or shmem_read_cache_page_gfp? Generally the read_mapping_page functions use the mapping's ->readpage, and the read_cache_page functions use the supplied filler, so I think read_cache_page_gfp was slightly misnamed.)

2.6.35's new truncate convention gave tmpfs the opportunity to control its file truncation, no longer enforced from outside by vmtruncate(). We shall want to build upon that, to handle pagecache and swap together. Slightly redefine the ->truncate_range interface: let it now be called between the unmap_mapping_range()s, with the filesystem responsible for doing the truncate_inode_pages_range() from it - just as the filesystem is nowadays responsible for doing that from its ->setattr. Let's rename shmem_notify_change() to shmem_setattr(). Instead of calling the generic truncate_setsize(), bring that code in so we can call shmem_truncate_range() - which will later be updated to perform its own variant of truncate_inode_pages_range(). Remove the punch_hole unmap_mapping_range() from shmem_truncate_range(): now that the COW's unmap_mapping_range() comes after ->truncate_range, there is no need to call it a third time. Export shmem_truncate_range() and add it to the list in shmem_fs.h, so that i915_gem_object_truncate() can call it explicitly in future; get this patch in first, then update drm/i915 once this is available (until then, i915 will just be doing the truncate_inode_pages() twice). Though introduced five years ago, no other filesystem is implementing ->truncate_range, and its only other user is madvise(,,MADV_REMOVE): we expect to convert it to fallocate(,FALLOC_FL_PUNCH_HOLE,,) shortly, whereupon ->truncate_range can be removed from inode_operations - shmem_truncate_range() will help i915 across that transition too.

Before adding any more global entry points into shmem.c, gather such prototypes into shmem_fs.h. Remove mm's own declarations from swap.h, but for now leave the ones in mm.h: because shmem_file_setup() and shmem_zero_setup() are called from various places, and we should not force other subsystems to update immediately.
