This is needed during the transition to the new byteorder headers as the swabb.h functionality will be provided from asm/byteorder.h in the new version. To avoid breakage on arches still using the old implementation, provide swabb.h from asm/byteorder.h as well. Signed-off-by:

This makes the new implementation of the byteorder helpers match the old in how it degraded when an arch-defined version was not available: 1) swab() - look for arch defined - if not, use generic c version 2) swabp() - look for arch-defined - if not, deref pointer and use swab() 3) swabs() - look for arch defined - if not, use swabp Signed-off-by:

Increase the range of various posix message queue limits. Posix gives the message queue user the ability to 'trade off' the maximum size of messages with the number of possible messages that can be 'in flight'. Linux currently makes this trade off more restrictive than it needs to be. In particular, the maximum message size today can be made no smaller than 8192. This greatly restricts those applications that would like to have the ability to post large numbers of very small messages. So this task lowers the limit that the maximum message size can be set to, from 8192 to 128. It also lowers the limit that the maximum #number of messages in flight can be set to, from 10 to 1. With these changes the message queue user can make better trade offs between #messages and message size, in order to get everything to fit within the setrlimit(RLIMIT_MSGQUEUE) limit for that particular user. This patch also applies the values in /proc/sys/fs/mqueue/msg_max /proc/sys/fs/mqueue/msgsize_max as the defaults for the max #messages allowed and the max message size allowed, respectively, for those applications that do not supply these. Previously, the defaults were hardwired to 10 and 8192, respectively. [akpm@linux-foundation.org: coding-style fixes] Signed-off-by:

Add the symbols 'vmlist' and offset 'vm_struct.addr' to the vmcoreinfo[1] data for i386 vmalloc translation. makedumpfile[2] needs VMALLOC_START value for distinguishing a vmalloc address or not, because it should choose suitable translation method. If applying this patch, makedumpfile will be able to take VMALLOC_START value from 'vmlist.addr'. vmcoreinfo[1]: The vmcoreinfo data has the minimum debugging information only for dump filtering. makedumpfile[2] uses it to distinguish unnecessary pages and creates a small dumpfile. makedumpfile[2]: dump filtering command https://sourceforge.net/projects/makedumpfile/Signed-off-by:

elfcore header memory needs to be reserved in a crash kernel. This means that the relevant code should be protected by CONFIG_CRASH_DUMP rather than CONFIG_PROC_VMCORE. Signed-off-by:

Simon Horman authored
The usage of elfcorehdr_addr has changed recently such that being set to ELFCORE_ADDR_MAX is used by is_kdump_kernel() to indicate if the code is executing in a kernel executed as a crash kernel. However, arch/ia64/kernel/setup.c:reserve_elfcorehdr will rest elfcorehdr_addr to ELFCORE_ADDR_MAX on error, which means any subsequent calls to is_kdump_kernel() will return 0, even though they should return 1. Ok, at this point in time there are no subsequent calls, but I think its fair to say that there is ample scope for error or at the very least confusion. This patch add an extra state, ELFCORE_ADDR_ERR, which indicates that elfcorehdr_addr was passed on the command line, and thus execution is taking place in a crashdump kernel, but vmcore can't be used for some reason. This is tested for using is_vmcore_usable() and set using vmcore_unusable(). A subsequent patch makes use of this new code. To summarise, the states that elfcorehdr_addr can now be in are as follows: ELFCORE_ADDR_MAX: not a crashdump kernel ELFCORE_ADDR_ERR: crashdump kernel but vmcore is unusable any other value: crash dump kernel and vmcore is usable Signed-off-by:

o Make use of is_kdump_kernel() rather than checking elfcorehdr_addr directly. o Remove CONFIG_CRASH_DUMP as is_kdump_kernel() is safe to call anywhere o Remove CONFIG_PROC_FS as it is bogus, the check should occur regardless of if CONFIG_PROC_FS is set or not. Signed-off-by:

IA64, PPC and SH also support the elfcorehdr command line. Signed-off-by:

Vivek Goyal authored
o elfcorehdr_addr is used by not only the code under CONFIG_PROC_VMCORE but also by the code which is not inside CONFIG_PROC_VMCORE. For example, is_kdump_kernel() is used by powerpc code to determine if kernel is booting after a panic then use previous kernel's TCE table. So even if CONFIG_PROC_VMCORE is not set in second kernel, one should be able to correctly determine that we are booting after a panic and setup calgary iommu accordingly. o So remove the assumption that elfcorehdr_addr is under CONFIG_PROC_VMCORE. o Move definition of elfcorehdr_addr to arch dependent crash files. (Unfortunately crash dump does not have an arch independent file otherwise that would have been the best place). o kexec.c is not the right place as one can Have CRASH_DUMP enabled in second kernel without KEXEC being enabled. o I don't see sh setup code parsing the command line for elfcorehdr_addr. I am wondering how does vmcore interface work on sh. Anyway, I am atleast defining elfcoredhr_addr so that compilation is not broken on sh. Signed-off-by:

This adds a kconfig option to change the /proc/PID/coredump_filter default. Fedora has been carrying a trivial patch to change the hard-wired value for this default, since Fedora 8. The default default can't change safely because there are old GDB versions out there (all before 6.7) that are confused by the core dump files created by the MMF_DUMP_ELF_HEADERS setting.

If the coredumping is multi-threaded, format_corename() appends .%pid to the corename. This was needed before the proper multi-thread core dump support, now all the threads in the mm go into a single unified core file. Remove this special case, it is not even documented and we have "%p" and core_uses_pid. Signed-off-by:

Allocate all page_cgroup at boot and remove page_cgroup poitner from struct page. This patch adds an interface as struct page_cgroup *lookup_page_cgroup(struct page*) All FLATMEM/DISCONTIGMEM/SPARSEMEM and MEMORY_HOTPLUG is supported. Remove page_cgroup pointer reduces the amount of memory by - 4 bytes per PAGE_SIZE. - 8 bytes per PAGE_SIZE if memory controller is disabled. (even if configured.) On usual 8GB x86-32 server, this saves 8MB of NORMAL_ZONE memory. On my x86-64 server with 48GB of memory, this saves 96MB of memory. I think this reduction makes sense. By pre-allocation, kmalloc/kfree in charge/uncharge are removed. This means - we're not necessary to be afraid of kmalloc faiulre. (this can happen because of gfp_mask type.) - we can avoid calling kmalloc/kfree. - we can avoid allocating tons of small objects which can be fragmented. - we can know what amount of memory will be used for this extra-lru handling. I added printk message as "allocated %ld bytes of page_cgroup" "please try cgroup_disable=memory option if you don't want" maybe enough informative for users.

This patch makes page_cgroup->flags to be atomic_ops and define functions (and macros) to access it. Before trying to modify memory resource controller, this atomic operation on flags is necessary. Most of flags in this patch is for LRU and modfied under mz->lru_lock but we'll add another flags which is not for LRU soon. For example, we'll place LOCK bit on flags field. We need atomic operation to modify LRU bit without LOCK. Signed-off-by:

Some obvious optimization to memcg. I found mem_cgroup_charge_statistics() is a little big (in object) and does unnecessary address calclation. This patch is for optimization to reduce the size of this function. And res_counter_charge() is 'likely' to succeed. Signed-off-by:

There are not-on-LRU pages which can be mapped and they are not worth to be accounted. (becasue we can't shrink them and need dirty codes to handle specical case) We'd like to make use of usual objrmap/radix-tree's protcol and don't want to account out-of-vm's control pages. When special_mapping_fault() is called, page->mapping is tend to be NULL and it's charged as Anonymous page. insert_page() also handles some special pages from drivers. This patch is for avoiding to account special pages. Signed-off-by:

This patch tries to make page->mapping to be NULL before mem_cgroup_uncharge_cache_page() is called. "page->mapping == NULL" is a good check for "whether the page is still radix-tree or not". This patch also adds BUG_ON() to mem_cgroup_uncharge_cache_page(); Signed-off-by:

While page-cache's charge/uncharge is done under page_lock(), swap-cache isn't. (anonymous page is charged when it's newly allocated.) This patch moves do_swap_page()'s charge() call under lock. I don't see any bad problem *now* but this fix will be good for future for avoiding unnecessary racy state. Signed-off-by:

Rather than pre-generating the entire text for the "tasks" file each time the file is opened, we instead just generate/update the array of process ids and use a seq_file to report these to userspace. All open file handles on the same "tasks" file can share a pid array, which may be updated any time that no thread is actively reading the array. By sharing the array, the potential for userspace to DoS the system by opening many handles on the same "tasks" file is removed.
