| * | | x86, mm: Add alloc_low_pages(num)Yinghai Lu2012-11-172-13/+26
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 32bit kmap mapping needs pages to be used for low to high. At this point those pages are still from pgt_buf_* from BRK, so it is ok now. But we want to move early_ioremap_page_table_range_init() out of init_memory_mapping() and only call it one time later, that will make page_table_range_init/page_table_kmap_check/alloc_low_page to use memblock to get page. memblock allocation for pages are from high to low. So will get panic from page_table_kmap_check() that has BUG_ON to do ordering checking. This patch add alloc_low_pages to make it possible to allocate serveral pages at first, and hand out pages one by one from low to high.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Now all page table buf are pre-mapped, and could use virtual address directly.

Then use mapped pages to map more ranges below, and keep looping until all pages get mapped. alloc_low_page will use page from BRK at first, after that buffer is used up, will use memblock to find and reserve pages for page table usage. Introduce min_pfn_mapped to make sure find new pages from mapped ranges, that will be updated when lower pages get mapped. Also add step_size to make sure that don't try to map too big range with limited mapped pages initially, and increase the step_size when we have more mapped pages on hand. We don't need to call pagetable_reserve anymore, reserve work is done in alloc_low_page() directly. At last we can get rid of calculation and find early pgt related code. -v2: update to after fix_xen change, also use MACRO for initial pgt_buf size and add comments with it. -v3: skip big reserved range in memblock.reserved near end. -v4: don't need fix_xen change now. -v5: add changelog about moving about reserving pagetable to alloc_low_page.

Instead we get panic with that. It turns out that we clear the initial page table wrongly for next range that is separated by holes. And it only happens when we are trying to map ram range one by one. We need to check if the range is ram before clearing page table. We change the loop structure to remove the extra little loop and use one loop only, and in that loop will caculate next at first, and check if [addr,next) is covered by E820_RAM. -v2: E820_RESERVED_KERN is treated as E820_RAM.

| * | | x86, mm: Only direct map addresses that are marked as E820_RAMJacob Shin2012-11-172-15/+111

This is fine for holes under 4GB which are covered by fixed and variable range MTRRs to be UC. However, we run into trouble on higher memory addresses which cannot be covered by MTRRs. Our system with 1TB of RAM has an e820 that looks like this: BIOS-e820: [mem 0x0000000000000000-0x00000000000983ff] usable BIOS-e820: [mem 0x0000000000098400-0x000000000009ffff] reserved BIOS-e820: [mem 0x00000000000d0000-0x00000000000fffff] reserved BIOS-e820: [mem 0x0000000000100000-0x00000000c7ebffff] usable BIOS-e820: [mem 0x00000000c7ec0000-0x00000000c7ed7fff] ACPI data BIOS-e820: [mem 0x00000000c7ed8000-0x00000000c7ed9fff] ACPI NVS BIOS-e820: [mem 0x00000000c7eda000-0x00000000c7ffffff] reserved BIOS-e820: [mem 0x00000000fec00000-0x00000000fec0ffff] reserved BIOS-e820: [mem 0x00000000fee00000-0x00000000fee00fff] reserved BIOS-e820: [mem 0x00000000fff00000-0x00000000ffffffff] reserved BIOS-e820: [mem 0x0000000100000000-0x000000e037ffffff] usable BIOS-e820: [mem 0x000000e038000000-0x000000fcffffffff] reserved BIOS-e820: [mem 0x0000010000000000-0x0000011ffeffffff] usable and so direct mappings are created for huge memory hole between 0x000000e038000000 to 0x0000010000000000. Even though the kernel never generates memory accesses in that region, since the page tables mark them incorrectly as being WB, our (AMD) processor ends up causing a MCE while doing some memory bookkeeping/optimizations around that area. This patch iterates through e820 and only direct maps ranges that are marked as E820_RAM, and keeps track of those pfn ranges. Depending on the alignment of E820 ranges, this may possibly result in using smaller size (i.e. 4K instead of 2M or 1G) page tables. -v2: move changes from setup.c to mm/init.c, also use for_each_mem_pfn_range instead. - Yinghai Lu -v3: add calculate_all_table_space_size() to get correct needed page table size. - Yinghai Lu -v4: fix add_pfn_range_mapped() to get correct max_low_pfn_mapped when mem map does have hole under 4g that is found by Konard on xen domU with 8g ram. - Yinghai Signed-off-by: Jacob Shin <jacob.shin@amd.com> Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1353123563-3103-16-git-send-email-yinghai@kernel.org Signed-off-by: Yinghai Lu <yinghai@kernel.org> Reviewed-by: Pekka Enberg <penberg@kernel.org> Signed-off-by: H.

On this system, that was the first address using 1G pages for the virt->phys direct mapping so the PUD is pointing to a physical address, not a PMD page. The problem is that the page table walker in kern_addr_valid() is not checking pud_large() and treats the physical address as if it was a PMD. If it happens to look like pmd_none then it'll silently fail, probably returning zeros instead of real data. If the data happens to look like a present PMD though, it will be walked resulting in the oops above. This patch adds the necessary pud_large() check. Unfortunately the problem was not readily reproducible and now they are running the backup program without accessing /proc/kcore so the patch has not been validated but I think it makes sense.

In almost all respects balancenuma is the dumbest of the three because its main impact is on the VM side with no attempt to be smart about scheduling. In the interest of getting the ball rolling, it would be desirable to see this much merged for 3.8 with the view to building scheduler smarts on top and adapting the VM where required for 3.9. The most recent set of comparisons available from different people are mel: https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/12/9/108 mingo: https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/12/7/331 tglx: https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/12/10/437 srikar: https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/12/10/397 The results are a mixed bag. In my own tests, balancenuma does reasonably well. It's dumb as rocks and does not regress against mainline. On the other hand, Ingo's tests shows that balancenuma is incapable of converging for this workloads driven by perf which is bad but is potentially explained by the lack of scheduler smarts. Thomas' results show balancenuma improves on mainline but falls far short of numacore or autonuma. Srikar's results indicate we all suffer on a large machine with imbalanced node sizes. My own testing showed that recent numacore results have improved dramatically, particularly in the last week but not universally. We've butted heads heavily on system CPU usage and high levels of migration even when it shows that overall performance is better. There are also cases where it regresses. Of interest is that for specjbb in some configurations it will regress for lower numbers of warehouses and show gains for higher numbers which is not reported by the tool by default and sometimes missed in treports. Recently I reported for numacore that the JVM was crashing with NullPointerExceptions but currently it's unclear what the source of this problem is. Initially I thought it was in how numacore batch handles PTEs but I'm no longer think this is the case. It's possible numacore is just able to trigger it due to higher rates of migration. These reports were quite late in the cycle so I/we would like to start with this tree as it contains much of the code we can agree on and has not changed significantly over the last 2-3 weeks." * tag 'balancenuma-v11' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/mel/linux-balancenuma: (50 commits) mm/rmap, migration: Make rmap_walk_anon() and try_to_unmap_anon() more scalable mm/rmap: Convert the struct anon_vma::mutex to an rwsem mm: migrate: Account a transhuge page properly when rate limiting mm: numa: Account for failed allocations and isolations as migration failures mm: numa: Add THP migration for the NUMA working set scanning fault case build fix mm: numa: Add THP migration for the NUMA working set scanning fault case. mm: sched: numa: Delay PTE scanning until a task is scheduled on a new node mm: sched: numa: Control enabling and disabling of NUMA balancing if !SCHED_DEBUG mm: sched: numa: Control enabling and disabling of NUMA balancing mm: sched: Adapt the scanning rate if a NUMA hinting fault does not migrate mm: numa: Use a two-stage filter to restrict pages being migrated for unlikely task<->node relationships mm: numa: migrate: Set last_nid on newly allocated page mm: numa: split_huge_page: Transfer last_nid on tail page mm: numa: Introduce last_nid to the page frame sched: numa: Slowly increase the scanning period as NUMA faults are handled mm: numa: Rate limit setting of pte_numa if node is saturated mm: numa: Rate limit the amount of memory that is migrated between nodes mm: numa: Structures for Migrate On Fault per NUMA migration rate limiting mm: numa: Migrate pages handled during a pmd_numa hinting fault mm: numa: Migrate on reference policy ...

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Intel has an architectural guarantee that the TLB entry causing a page fault gets invalidated automatically. This means we should be able to drop the local TLB invalidation. Because of the way other areas of the page fault code work, chances are good that all x86 CPUs do this. However, if someone somewhere has an x86 CPU that does not invalidate the TLB entry causing a page fault, this one-liner should be easy to revert.

| |/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The function ptep_set_access_flags() is only ever invoked to set access flags or add write permission on a PTE. The write bit is only ever set together with the dirty bit. Because we only ever upgrade a PTE, it is safe to skip flushing entries on remote TLBs. The worst that can happen is a spurious page fault on other CPUs, which would flush that TLB entry. Lazily letting another CPU incur a spurious page fault occasionally is (much!) cheaper than aggressively flushing everybody else's TLB.

Simply removing the #ifdef around the respective code isn't enough, however: While so far early get-time calls were done in physical mode, this doesn't work properly for x86-64, as virtual addresses would still need to be set up for all runtime regions (which wasn't the case on the system I have access to), so instead the patch moves the call to efi_enter_virtual_mode() ahead (which in turn allows to drop all code related to calling efi-get-time in physical mode). Additionally the earlier calling of efi_set_executable() requires the CPA code to cope, i.e. during early boot it must be avoided to call cpa_flush_array(), as the first thing this function does is a BUG_ON(irqs_disabled()). Also make the two EFI functions in question here static - they're not being referenced elsewhere. History: This commit was originally merged as bacef661acdb ("x86-64/efi: Use EFI to deal with platform wall clock") but it resulted in some ASUS machines no longer booting due to a firmware bug, and so was reverted in f026cfa82f62. A pre-emptive fix for the buggy ASUS firmware was merged in 03a1c254975e ("x86, efi: 1:1 pagetable mapping for virtual EFI calls") so now this patch can be reapplied.

One new feature of trampoline_pgd is that it now has mappings for the physical I/O device addresses, which are inserted at ioremap() time.

This is an abstraction of some RCU code that use such tracking to implement its userspace extended quiescent state. We need to pull this up from RCU into this new level of indirection because this tracking is also going to be used to implement an "on demand" generic virtual cputime accounting.
