Device trees allow specification of hardware topology and device parameters at runtime instead of hard-coding them in platform setup code. This allows running single binary kernel on a range of compatible boards. New boot parameters tag BP_TAG_FDT is allocated and a pointer to flat device tree is passed in it. Note that current interrupt mapping scheme uses single cell for interrupt identification. That means that IRQ numbers used in DTS must be CPU internal IRQ numbers, not external. It is possible to extend interrupt identification to two cells, and use second cell to tell external IRQ numbers form internal. That would allow to use single DTS on multiple boards with different mapping of external IRQ numbers. Signed-off-by:

Add a brief sanity test of S32C1I functionality. This instruction is needed by the kernel and userland as part of the base ABI (including GCC atomic builtins, certain threading packages, future atomic support in the C++ standard, etc). However, correct operation of this instruction requires some cooperation by hardware external to the processor (such as bus bridge, bus fabric, or memory controller). Minimally exercising this mechanism and reporting explicit status early in the boot process is helpful to chip vendors using the Linux kernel as a benchmark of correctness of hardware. As it turns out, S32C1I is not exercised by the kernel and by uClibc based userland as of early June 2008. This is expected to change soon as both incorporate more recent open source developments.

Neil found that if too_many_isolated() returns true while performing direct reclaim we can end up waiting for other threads to complete their direct reclaim. If those threads are allowed to enter the FS or IO to free memory, but this thread is not, then it is possible that those threads will be waiting on this thread and so we get a circular deadlock. some task enters direct reclaim with GFP_KERNEL => too_many_isolated() false => vmscan and run into dirty pages => pageout() => take some FS lock => fs/block code does GFP_NOIO allocation => enter direct reclaim again => too_many_isolated() true => waiting for others to progress, however the other tasks may be circular waiting for the FS lock.. The fix is to let !__GFP_IO and !__GFP_FS direct reclaims enjoy higher priority than normal ones, by lowering the throttle threshold for the latter. Allowing ~1/8 isolated pages in normal is large enough. For example, for a 1GB LRU list, that's ~128MB isolated pages, or 1k blocked tasks (each isolates 32 4KB pages), or 64 blocked tasks per logical CPU (assuming 16 logical CPUs per NUMA node). So it's not likely some CPU goes idle waiting (when it could make progress) because of this limit: there are much more sleeping reclaim tasks than the number of CPU, so the task may well be blocked by some low level queue/lock anyway. Now !GFP_IOFS reclaims won't be waiting for GFP_IOFS reclaims to progress. They will be blocked only when there are too many concurrent !GFP_IOFS reclaims, however that's very unlikely because the IO-less direct reclaims is able to progress much more faster, and they won't deadlock each other. The threshold is raised high enough for them, so that there can be sufficient parallel progress of !GFP_IOFS reclaims.

Build kernel with CONFIG_HUGETLBFS=y,CONFIG_HUGETLB_PAGE=y and CONFIG_CGROUP_HUGETLB=y, then specify hugepagesz=xx boot option, system will fail to boot. This failure is caused by following code path: setup_hugepagesz hugetlb_add_hstate hugetlb_cgroup_file_init cgroup_add_cftypes kzalloc <--slab is *not available* yet For this path, slab is not available yet, so memory allocated will be failed, and cause WARN_ON() in hugetlb_cgroup_file_init(). So I move hugetlb_cgroup_file_init() into hugetlb_init().

Sasha Levin recently reported a lockdep problem resulting from the new attribute propagation introduced by kmemcg series. In short, slab_mutex will be called from within the sysfs attribute store function. This will create a dependency, that will later be held backwards when a cache is destroyed - since destruction occurs with the slab_mutex held, and then calls in to the sysfs directory removal function. In this patch, I propose to adopt a strategy close to what __kmem_cache_create does before calling sysfs_slab_add, and release the lock before the call to sysfs_slab_remove. This is pretty much the last operation in the kmem_cache_shutdown() path, so we could do better by splitting this and moving this call alone to later on. This will fit nicely when sysfs handling is consistent between all caches, but will look weird now.

This patch clarifies two aspects of cache attribute propagation. First, the expected context for the for_each_memcg_cache macro in memcontrol.h. The usages already in the codebase are safe. In mm/slub.c, it is trivially safe because the lock is acquired right before the loop. In mm/slab.c, it is less so: the lock is acquired by an outer function a few steps back in the stack, so a VM_BUG_ON() is added to make sure it is indeed safe. A comment is also added to detail why we are returning the value of the parent cache and ignoring the children's when we propagate the attributes. Signed-off-by:

SLUB allows us to tune a particular cache behavior with sysfs-based tunables. When creating a new memcg cache copy, we'd like to preserve any tunables the parent cache already had. This can be done by tapping into the store attribute function provided by the allocator. We of course don't need to mess with read-only fields. Since the attributes can have multiple types and are stored internally by sysfs, the best strategy is to issue a ->show() in the root cache, and then ->store() in the memcg cache. The drawback of that, is that sysfs can allocate up to a page in buffering for show(), that we are likely not to need, but also can't guarantee. To avoid always allocating a page for that, we can update the caches at store time with the maximum attribute size ever stored to the root cache. We will then get a buffer big enough to hold it. The corolary to this, is that if no stores happened, nothing will be propagated. It can also happen that a root cache has its tunables updated during normal system operation. In this case, we will propagate the change to all caches that are already active. [akpm@linux-foundation.org: tweak code to avoid __maybe_unused] Signed-off-by:

SLAB allows us to tune a particular cache behavior with tunables. When creating a new memcg cache copy, we'd like to preserve any tunables the parent cache already had. This could be done by an explicit call to do_tune_cpucache() after the cache is created. But this is not very convenient now that the caches are created from common code, since this function is SLAB-specific. Another method of doing that is taking advantage of the fact that do_tune_cpucache() is always called from enable_cpucache(), which is called at cache initialization. We can just preset the values, and then things work as expected. It can also happen that a root cache has its tunables updated during normal system operation. In this case, we will propagate the change to all caches that are already active. This change will require us to move the assignment of root_cache in memcg_params a bit earlier. We need this to be already set - which memcg_kmem_register_cache will do - when we reach __kmem_cache_create() Signed-off-by:

When we create caches in memcgs, we need to display their usage information somewhere. We'll adopt a scheme similar to /proc/meminfo, with aggregate totals shown in the global file, and per-group information stored in the group itself. For the time being, only reads are allowed in the per-group cache. Signed-off-by:
