Patch series "Add support for fast mremap".
This series speeds up the mremap(2) syscall by copying page tables at
the PMD level even for non-THP systems. There is concern that the extra
'address' argument that mremap passes to pte_alloc may do something
subtle architecture related in the future that may make the scheme not
work. Also we find that there is no point in passing the 'address' to
pte_alloc since its unused. This patch therefore removes this argument
tree-wide resulting in a nice negative diff as well. Also ensuring
along the way that the enabled architectures do not do anything funky
with the 'address' argument that goes unnoticed by the optimization.
Build and boot tested on x86-64. Build tested on arm64. The config
enablement patch for arm64 will be posted in the future after more
testing.
The changes were obtained by applying the following Coccinelle script.
(thanks Julia for answering all Coccinelle questions!).
Following fix ups were done manually:
* Removal of address argument from pte_fragment_alloc
* Removal of pte_alloc_one_fast definitions from m68k and microblaze.

as well. Use the memblock-based page_is_ram function, which returns
false for such MMIO holes.

Keep the check for p < virt_to_phys(high_memory). On 32-bit systems
with high memory (memory above physical address 4GiB), the high memory
is expected to be available though ioremap. The high_memory variable
marks the end of low memory; comparing against it means that only
ioremap requests for low RAM will be denied.

Today powerpc64 uses a set of pgtable_caches while powerpc32 uses
standard pages when using 4k pages and a single pgtable_cache
if using other size pages.
In preparation of implementing huge pages on the 8xx, this patch
replaces the specific powerpc32 handling by the 64 bits approach.
This is done by:
* moving 64 bits pgtable_cache_add() and pgtable_cache_init()
in a new file called init-common.c
* modifying pgtable_cache_init() to also handle the case
without PMD
* removing the 32 bits version of pgtable_cache_add() and
pgtable_cache_init()
* copying related header contents from 64 bits into both the
book3s/32 and nohash/32 header files
On the 8xx, the following cache sizes will be used:
* 4k pages mode:
- PGT_CACHE(10) for PGD
- PGT_CACHE(3) for 512k hugepage tables
* 16k pages mode:
- PGT_CACHE(6) for PGD
- PGT_CACHE(7) for 512k hugepage tables
- PGT_CACHE(3) for 8M hugepage tables

This is the third version of the patchset previously sent [1]. I have
basically only rebased it on top of 4.7-rc1 tree and dropped "dm: get
rid of superfluous gfp flags" which went through dm tree. I am sending
it now because it is tree wide and chances for conflicts are reduced
considerably when we want to target rc2. I plan to send the next step
and rename the flag and move to a better semantic later during this
release cycle so we will have a new semantic ready for 4.8 merge window
hopefully.
Motivation:
While working on something unrelated I've checked the current usage of
__GFP_REPEAT in the tree. It seems that a majority of the usage is and
always has been bogus because __GFP_REPEAT has always been about costly
high order allocations while we are using it for order-0 or very small
orders very often. It seems that a big pile of them is just a
copy&paste when a code has been adopted from one arch to another.
I think it makes some sense to get rid of them because they are just
making the semantic more unclear. Please note that GFP_REPEAT is
documented as
* __GFP_REPEAT: Try hard to allocate the memory, but the allocation attempt
* _might_ fail. This depends upon the particular VM implementation.
while !costly requests have basically nofail semantic. So one could
reasonably expect that order-0 request with __GFP_REPEAT will not loop
for ever. This is not implemented right now though.
I would like to move on with __GFP_REPEAT and define a better semantic
for it.
$ git grep __GFP_REPEAT origin/master | wc -l
111
$ git grep __GFP_REPEAT | wc -l
36
So we are down to the third after this patch series. The remaining
places really seem to be relying on __GFP_REPEAT due to large allocation
requests. This still needs some double checking which I will do later
after all the simple ones are sorted out.
I am touching a lot of arch specific code here and I hope I got it right
but as a matter of fact I even didn't compile test for some archs as I
do not have cross compiler for them. Patches should be quite trivial to
review for stupid compile mistakes though. The tricky parts are usually
hidden by macro definitions and thats where I would appreciate help from
arch maintainers.
[1] http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1461849846-27209-1-git-send-email-mhocko@kernel.org
This patch (of 19):
__GFP_REPEAT has a rather weak semantic but since it has been introduced
around 2.6.12 it has been ignored for low order allocations. Yet we
have the full kernel tree with its usage for apparently order-0
allocations. This is really confusing because __GFP_REPEAT is
explicitly documented to allow allocation failures which is a weaker
semantic than the current order-0 has (basically nofail).
Let's simply drop __GFP_REPEAT from those places. This would allow to
identify place which really need allocator to retry harder and formulate
a more specific semantic for what the flag is supposed to do actually.

There is no barrier between something like ioremap() writing to
a PTE, and returning the value to a caller that may then store the
pointer in a place that is visible to other CPUs. Such callers
generally don't perform barriers of their own.
Even if callers of ioremap() and similar things did use barriers,
the most logical choise would be smp_wmb(), which is not
architecturally sufficient when BookE hardware tablewalk is used. A
full sync is specified by the architecture.
For userspace mappings, OTOH, we generally already have an lwsync due
to locking, and if we occasionally take a spurious fault due to not
having a full sync with hardware tablewalk, it will not be fatal
because we will retry rather than oops.

We have a confusing number of ioremap functions. Make things just a
bit simpler by merging ioremap_flags and ioremap_prot.

Add ioremap_wc so drivers can request write combining on kernel

Hi,
The [vk][cmz]alloc(_node) family of functions return void pointers which
it's completely unnecessary/pointless to cast to other pointer types since
that happens implicitly.
This patch removes such casts from arch/powerpc/

The vmalloc code can track the physical address of a vma, when the
vma is used for ioremap, if set it is displayed in /proc/vmallocinfo.
Because get_vm_area_caller() doesn't know it's being called for
ioremap() it's up to the arch code to set the phys_addr. A bunch
of other arch's do this, I'm not sure why powerpc doesn't?

via following scripts
FILES=$(find * -type f | grep -vE 'oprofile|[^K]config')
sed -i \
-e 's/lmb/memblock/g' \
-e 's/LMB/MEMBLOCK/g' \
$FILES
for N in $(find . -name lmb.[ch]); do
M=$(echo $N | sed 's/lmb/memblock/g')
mv $N $M
done
and remove some wrong change like lmbench and dlmb etc.
also move memblock.c from lib/ to mm/

CONFIG_HIGHPTE doesn't exist in Kconfig, therefore removing all
references for it from the source code.

So we tried to speed things up a bit using flush_hash_pages() directly
but that falls over on 603 of course meaning we fail to flush the TLB
properly and we may even end up having it corrupt memory randomly by
accessing a hash table that doesn't exist.
This removes the "optimization" by always going through flush_tlb_page()
for now at least.

We can't just clear the user read permission in book3e pte, because
that will also clear supervisor read permission. This surely isn't
desired. Fix the problem by adding the supervisor read back.
BenH: Slightly simplified the ifdef and applied to ppc64 too
