973dc4f3fa x86, mm: Remove early_memremap workaround for page table accessing on 64bit
We try to put page table high to make room for kdump, and at that time
those ranges are not mapped yet, and have to use ioremap to access it.

Now after patch that pre-map page table top down.
	x86, mm: setup page table in top-down
We do not need that workaround anymore.

Just use __va to return directly mapping address.

8d57470d8f x86, mm: setup page table in top-down
Get pgt_buf early from BRK, and use it to map PMD_SIZE from top at first.
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.

eceb3632ac x86, mm: Don't clear page table if range is ram
After we add code use buffer in BRK to pre-map buf for page table in
following patch:
	x86, mm: setup page table in top-down
it should be safe to remove early_memmap for page table accessing.
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. EFI one change some E820_RAM
     to that, so next kernel by kexec will know that range is used already.

aeebe84cc9 x86, mm: Use big page size for small memory range
We could map small range in the middle of big range at first, so should use
big page size at first to avoid using small page size to break down page table.

Only can set big page bit when that range has ram area around it.

-v2: fix 32bit boundary checking. We can not count ram above max_low_pfn
	for 32 bit.

960ddb4fe7 x86, mm: Align start address to correct big page size
We are going to use buffer in BRK to map small range just under memory top,
and use those new mapped ram to map ram range under it.

The ram range that will be mapped at first could be only page aligned,
but ranges around it are ram too, we could use bigger page to map it to
avoid small page size.

We will adjust page_size_mask in following patch:
	x86, mm: Use big page size for small memory range
to use big page size for small ram range.

Before that patch, this patch will make sure start address to be
aligned down according to bigger page size, otherwise entry in page
page will not have correct value.

66520ebc2d x86, mm: Only direct map addresses that are marked as E820_RAM
Currently direct mappings are created for [ 0 to max_low_pfn<<PAGE_SHIFT )
and [ 4GB to max_pfn<<PAGE_SHIFT ), which may include regions that are not
backed by actual DRAM. 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

|    x86: Fix S4 regression
|
|    Commit 4b239f458 ("x86-64, mm: Put early page table high") causes a S4
|    regression since 2.6.39, namely the machine reboots occasionally at S4
|    resume.  It doesn't happen always, overall rate is about 1/20.  But,
|    like other bugs, once when this happens, it continues to happen.
|
|    This patch fixes the problem by essentially reverting the memory
|    assignment in the older way.

Have some page table around 512M again, that will prevent kdump to find 512M
under 768M.

We need revert that reverting, so we could put page table high again for 64bit.

Takashi agreed that S4 regression could be something else.

876ee61aad x86-64: Fix page table accounting
Commit 20167d3421 ("x86-64: Fix
accounting in kernel_physical_mapping_init()") went a little too
far by entirely removing the counting of pre-populated page
tables: this should be done at boot time (to cover the page
tables set up in early boot code), but shouldn't be done during
memory hot add.

Hence, re-add the removed increments of "pages", but make them
and the one in phys_pte_init() conditional upon !after_bootmem.

Commit:

   722bc6b167 x86/mm: Fix the size calculation of mapping tables

Tried to address the issue that the first 2/4M should use 4k pages
if PSE enabled, but extra counts should only be valid for x86_32.

This commit caused a kdump regression: the kdump kernel hangs.

Work is in progress to fundamentally fix the various page table
initialization issues that we have, via the design suggested
by H. Peter Anvin, but it's not ready yet to be merged.

So, to get a working kdump revert to the last known working version,
which is the revert of this commit and of a followup fix (which was
incomplete):

   bd2753b2dd x86/mm: Only add extra pages count for the first memory range during pre-allocation

45cac65b0f readahead: fault retry breaks mmap file read random detection
.fault now can retry.  The retry can break state machine of .fault.  In
filemap_fault, if page is miss, ra->mmap_miss is increased.  In the second
try, since the page is in page cache now, ra->mmap_miss is decreased.  And
these are done in one fault, so we can't detect random mmap file access.

Add a new flag to indicate .fault is tried once.  In the second try, skip
ra->mmap_miss decreasing.  The filemap_fault state machine is ok with it.

I only tested x86, didn't test other archs, but looks the change for other
archs is obvious, but who knows :)

6b2dbba8b6 mm: replace vma prio_tree with an interval tree
Implement an interval tree as a replacement for the VMA prio_tree.  The
algorithms are similar to lib/interval_tree.c; however that code can't be
directly reused as the interval endpoints are not explicitly stored in the
VMA.  So instead, the common algorithm is moved into a template and the
details (node type, how to get interval endpoints from the node, etc) are
filled in using the C preprocessor.

Once the interval tree functions are available, using them as a
replacement to the VMA prio tree is a relatively simple, mechanical job.

b3b9c2932c mm, x86, pat: rework linear pfn-mmap tracking
Replace the generic vma-flag VM_PFN_AT_MMAP with x86-only VM_PAT.

We can toss mapping address from remap_pfn_range() into
track_pfn_vma_new(), and collect all PAT-related logic together in
arch/x86/.

This patch also restores orignal frustration-free is_cow_mapping() check
in remap_pfn_range(), as it was before commit v2.6.28-rc8-88-g3c8bb73
("x86: PAT: store vm_pgoff for all linear_over_vma_region mappings - v3")

is_linear_pfn_mapping() checks can be removed from mm/huge_memory.c,
because it already handled by VM_PFNMAP in VM_NO_THP bit-mask.

5180da410d x86, pat: separate the pfn attribute tracking for remap_pfn_range and vm_insert_pfn
With PAT enabled, vm_insert_pfn() looks up the existing pfn memory
attribute and uses it.  Expectation is that the driver reserves the
memory attributes for the pfn before calling vm_insert_pfn().

remap_pfn_range() (when called for the whole vma) will setup a new
attribute (based on the prot argument) for the specified pfn range.
This addresses the legacy usage which typically calls remap_pfn_range()
with a desired memory attribute.  For ranges smaller than the vma size
(which is typically not the case), remap_pfn_range() will use the
existing memory attribute for the pfn range.

Expose two different API's for these different behaviors.
track_pfn_insert() for tracking the pfn attribute set by vm_insert_pfn()
and track_pfn_remap() for the remap_pfn_range().

This cleanup also prepares the ground for the track/untrack pfn vma
routines to take over the ownership of setting PAT specific vm_flag in
the 'vma'.

b1a86e15dc x86, pat: remove the dependency on 'vm_pgoff' in track/untrack pfn vma routines
'pfn' argument for track_pfn_vma_new() can be used for reserving the
attribute for the pfn range.  No need to depend on 'vm_pgoff'

Similarly, untrack_pfn_vma() can depend on the 'pfn' argument if it is
non-zero or can use follow_phys() to get the starting value of the pfn
range.

Also the non zero 'size' argument can be used instead of recomputing it
from vma.

This cleanup also prepares the ground for the track/untrack pfn vma
routines to take over the ownership of setting PAT specific vm_flag in the
'vma'.

eb48c07146 mm: hugetlbfs: correctly populate shared pmd
Each page mapped in a process's address space must be correctly
accounted for in _mapcount.  Normally the rules for this are
straightforward but hugetlbfs page table sharing is different.  The page
table pages at the PMD level are reference counted while the mapcount
remains the same.

If this accounting is wrong, it causes bugs like this one reported by
Larry Woodman:

During fork(), copy_hugetlb_page_range() detects if huge_pte_alloc()
shared page tables with the check dst_pte == src_pte.  The logic is if
the PMD page is the same, they must be shared.  This assumes that the
sharing is between the parent and child.  However, if the sharing is
with a different process entirely then this check fails as in this
diagram:

  parent
    |
    ------------>pmd
                 src_pte----------> data page
                                        ^
  other--------->pmd--------------------|
                  ^
  child-----------|
                 dst_pte

For this situation to occur, it must be possible for Parent and Other to
have faulted and failed to share page tables with each other.  This is
possible due to the following style of race.

  PROC A                                          PROC B
  copy_hugetlb_page_range                         copy_hugetlb_page_range
    src_pte == huge_pte_offset                      src_pte == huge_pte_offset
    !src_pte so no sharing                          !src_pte so no sharing

  (time passes)

  hugetlb_fault                                   hugetlb_fault
    huge_pte_alloc                                  huge_pte_alloc
      huge_pmd_share                                 huge_pmd_share
        LOCK(i_mmap_mutex)
        find nothing, no sharing
        UNLOCK(i_mmap_mutex)
                                                      LOCK(i_mmap_mutex)
                                                      find nothing, no sharing
                                                      UNLOCK(i_mmap_mutex)
      pmd_alloc                                       pmd_alloc
      LOCK(instantiation_mutex)
      fault
      UNLOCK(instantiation_mutex)
                                                  LOCK(instantiation_mutex)
                                                  fault
                                                  UNLOCK(instantiation_mutex)

These two processes are not poing to the same data page but are not
sharing page tables because the opportunity was missed.  When either
process later forks, the src_pte == dst pte is potentially insufficient.
As the check falls through, the wrong PTE information is copied in
(harmless but wrong) and the mapcount is bumped for a page mapped by a
shared page table leading to the BUG_ON.

This patch addresses the issue by moving pmd_alloc into huge_pmd_share
which guarantees that the shared pud is populated in the same critical
section as pmd.  This also means that huge_pte_offset test in
huge_pmd_share is serialized correctly now which in turn means that the
success of the sharing will be higher as the racing tasks see the pud
and pmd populated together.

Race identified and changelog written mostly by Mel Gorman.

f026cfa82f Revert "x86-64/efi: Use EFI to deal with platform wall clock"
This reverts commit bacef661ac.

This commit has been found to cause serious regressions on a number of
ASUS machines at the least.  We probably need to provide a 1:1 map in
addition to the EFI virtual memory map in order for this to work.

095adbb644 ACPI: Only count valid srat memory structures
Otherwise you could run into:
WARN_ON in numa_register_memblks(), because node_possible_map is zero

References: https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=757888

On this machine (ProLiant ML570 G3) the SRAT table contains:
  - No processor affinities
  - One memory affinity structure (which is set disabled)

Pull x86/mm changes from Peter Anvin:
 "The big change here is the patchset by Alex Shi to use INVLPG to flush
  only the affected pages when we only need to flush a small page range.

  It also removes the special INVALIDATE_TLB_VECTOR interrupts (32
  vectors!) and replace it with an ordinary IPI function call."

Fix up trivial conflicts in arch/x86/include/asm/apic.h (added code next
to changed line)

effee4b9b3 x86/tlb: do flush_tlb_kernel_range by 'invlpg'
This patch do flush_tlb_kernel_range by 'invlpg'. The performance pay
and gain was analyzed in previous patch
(x86/flush_tlb: try flush_tlb_single one by one in flush_tlb_range).

In the testing: http://lkml.org/lkml/2012/6/21/10

The pay is mostly covered by long kernel path, but the gain is still
quite clear, memory access in user APP can increase 30+% when kernel
execute this funtion.

52aec3308d x86/tlb: replace INVALIDATE_TLB_VECTOR by CALL_FUNCTION_VECTOR
There are 32 INVALIDATE_TLB_VECTOR now in kernel. That is quite big
amount of vector in IDT. But it is still not enough, since modern x86
sever has more cpu number. That still causes heavy lock contention
in TLB flushing.

The patch using generic smp call function to replace it. That saved 32
vector number in IDT, and resolved the lock contention in TLB
flushing on large system.

In the NHM EX machine 4P * 8cores * HT = 64 CPUs, hackbench pthread
has 3% performance increase.

611ae8e3f5 x86/tlb: enable tlb flush range support for x86
Not every tlb_flush execution moment is really need to evacuate all
TLB entries, like in munmap, just few 'invlpg' is better for whole
process performance, since it leaves most of TLB entries for later
accessing.

This patch also rewrite flush_tlb_range for 2 purposes:
1, split it out to get flush_blt_mm_range function.
2, clean up to reduce line breaking, thanks for Borislav's input.

My micro benchmark 'mummap' http://lkml.org/lkml/2012/5/17/59
show that the random memory access on other CPU has 0~50% speed up
on a 2P * 4cores * HT NHM EP while do 'munmap'.

Thanks Yongjie's testing on this patch:
-------------
I used Linux 3.4-RC6 w/ and w/o his patches as Xen dom0 and guest
kernel.
After running two benchmarks in Xen HVM guest, I found his patches
brought about 1%~3% performance gain in 'kernel build' and 'netperf'
testing, though the performance gain was not very stable in 'kernel
build' testing.

Some detailed testing results are below.

Testing Environment:
	Hardware: Romley-EP platform
	Xen version: latest upstream
	Linux kernel: 3.4-RC6
	Guest vCPU number: 8
	NIC: Intel 82599 (10GB bandwidth)

In 'kernel build' testing in guest:
	Command line  |  performance gain
    make -j 4      |    3.81%
    make -j 8      |    0.37%
    make -j 16     |    -0.52%

In 'netperf' testing, we tested TCP_STREAM with default socket size
16384 byte as large packet and 64 byte as small packet.
I used several clients to add networking pressure, then 'netperf' server
automatically generated several threads to response them.
I also used large-size packet and small-size packet in the testing.
	Packet size  |  Thread number | performance gain
	16384 bytes  |      4       |   0.02%
	16384 bytes  |      8       |   2.21%
	16384 bytes  |      16      |   2.04%
	64 bytes     |      4       |   1.07%
	64 bytes     |      8       |   3.31%
	64 bytes     |      16      |   0.71%

3df3212f97 x86/tlb: add tlb_flushall_shift knob into debugfs
kernel will replace cr3 rewrite with invlpg when
  tlb_flush_entries <= active_tlb_entries / 2^tlb_flushall_factor
if tlb_flushall_factor is -1, kernel won't do this replacement.

User can modify its value according to specific CPU/applications.

Thanks for Borislav providing the help message of
CONFIG_DEBUG_TLBFLUSH.
