ab130f9108 mm: rename page_order() to buddy_order()
The current page_order() can only be called on pages in the buddy
allocator.  For compound pages, you have to use compound_order().  This is
confusing and led to a bug, so rename page_order() to buddy_order().

8fb156c9ee mm/page_owner: change split_page_owner to take a count
The implementation of split_page_owner() prefers a count rather than the
old order of the page.  When we support a variable size THP, we won't
have the order at this point, but we will have the number of pages.
So change the interface to what the caller and callee would prefer.

01c0bfe061 mm: rename gfpflags_to_migratetype to gfp_migratetype for same convention
Pageblock migrate type is encoded in GFP flags, just as zone_type and
zonelist.

Currently we use gfp_zone() and gfp_zonelist() to extract related
information, it would be proper to use the same naming convention for
migrate type.

a26ee565b6 mm/page_owner: don't access uninitialized memmaps when reading /proc/pagetypeinfo
Uninitialized memmaps contain garbage and in the worst case trigger
kernel BUGs, especially with CONFIG_PAGE_POISONING.  They should not get
touched.

For example, when not onlining a memory block that is spanned by a zone
and reading /proc/pagetypeinfo with CONFIG_DEBUG_VM_PGFLAGS and
CONFIG_PAGE_POISONING, we can trigger a kernel BUG:

  :/# echo 1 > /sys/devices/system/memory/memory40/online
  :/# echo 1 > /sys/devices/system/memory/memory42/online
  :/# cat /proc/pagetypeinfo > test.file
   page:fffff2c585200000 is uninitialized and poisoned
   raw: ffffffffffffffff ffffffffffffffff ffffffffffffffff ffffffffffffffff
   raw: ffffffffffffffff ffffffffffffffff ffffffffffffffff ffffffffffffffff
   page dumped because: VM_BUG_ON_PAGE(PagePoisoned(p))
   There is not page extension available.
   ------------[ cut here ]------------
   kernel BUG at include/linux/mm.h:1107!
   invalid opcode: 0000 [#1] SMP NOPTI

Please note that this change does not affect ZONE_DEVICE, because
pagetypeinfo_showmixedcount_print() is called from
mm/vmstat.c:pagetypeinfo_showmixedcount() only for populated zones, and
ZONE_DEVICE is never populated (zone->present_pages always 0).

fdf3bf8091 mm, page_owner: rename flag indicating that page is allocated
Commit 37389167a2 ("mm, page_owner: keep owner info when freeing the
page") has introduced a flag PAGE_EXT_OWNER_ACTIVE to indicate that page
is tracked as being allocated.  Kirril suggested naming it
PAGE_EXT_OWNER_ALLOCATED to make it more clear, as "active is somewhat
loaded term for a page".

0fe9a448a0 mm, page_owner: decouple freeing stack trace from debug_pagealloc
Commit 8974558f49 ("mm, page_owner, debug_pagealloc: save and dump
freeing stack trace") enhanced page_owner to also store freeing stack
trace, when debug_pagealloc is also enabled.  KASAN would also like to
do this [1] to improve error reports to debug e.g. UAF issues.

Kirill has suggested that the freeing stack trace saving should be also
possible to be enabled separately from KASAN or debug_pagealloc, i.e.
with an extra boot option.  Qian argued that we have enough options
already, and avoiding the extra overhead is not worth the complications
in the case of a debugging option.  Kirill noted that the extra stack
handle in struct page_owner requires 0.1% of memory.

This patch therefore enables free stack saving whenever page_owner is
enabled, regardless of whether debug_pagealloc or KASAN is also enabled.
KASAN kernels booted with page_owner=on will thus benefit from the
improved error reports.

5556cfe8d9 mm, page_owner: fix off-by-one error in __set_page_owner_handle()
Patch series "followups to debug_pagealloc improvements through
page_owner", v3.

These are followups to [1] which made it to Linus meanwhile.  Patches 1
and 3 are based on Kirill's review, patch 2 on KASAN request [2].  It
would be nice if all of this made it to 5.4 with [1] already there (or
at least Patch 1).

This patch (of 3):

As noted by Kirill, commit 7e2f2a0cd1 ("mm, page_owner: record page
owner for each subpage") has introduced an off-by-one error in
__set_page_owner_handle() when looking up page_ext for subpages.  As a
result, the head page page_owner info is set twice, while for the last
tail page, it's not set at all.

Fix this and also make the code more efficient by advancing the page_ext
pointer we already have, instead of calling lookup_page_ext() for each
subpage.  Since the full size of struct page_ext is not known at compile
time, we can't use a simple page_ext++ statement, so introduce a
page_ext_next() inline function for that.

8974558f49 mm, page_owner, debug_pagealloc: save and dump freeing stack trace
The debug_pagealloc functionality is useful to catch buggy page allocator
users that cause e.g.  use after free or double free.  When page
inconsistency is detected, debugging is often simpler by knowing the call
stack of process that last allocated and freed the page.  When page_owner
is also enabled, we record the allocation stack trace, but not freeing.

This patch therefore adds recording of freeing process stack trace to page
owner info, if both page_owner and debug_pagealloc are configured and
enabled.  With only page_owner enabled, this info is not useful for the
memory leak debugging use case.  dump_page() is adjusted to print the
info.  An example result of calling __free_pages() twice may look like
this (note the page last free stack trace):

37389167a2 mm, page_owner: keep owner info when freeing the page
For debugging purposes it might be useful to keep the owner info even
after page has been freed, and include it in e.g.  dump_page() when
detecting a bad page state.  For that, change the PAGE_EXT_OWNER flag
meaning to "page owner info has been set at least once" and add new
PAGE_EXT_OWNER_ACTIVE for tracking whether page is supposed to be
currently tracked allocated or free.  Adjust dump_page() accordingly,
distinguishing free and allocated pages.  In the page_owner debugfs file,
keep printing only allocated pages so that existing scripts are not
confused, and also because free pages are irrelevant for the memory
statistics or leak detection that's the typical use case of the file,
anyway.

7e2f2a0cd1 mm, page_owner: record page owner for each subpage
Patch series "debug_pagealloc improvements through page_owner", v2.

The debug_pagealloc functionality serves a similar purpose on the page
allocator level that slub_debug does on the kmalloc level, which is to
detect bad users.  One notable feature that slub_debug has is storing
stack traces of who last allocated and freed the object.  On page level we
track allocations via page_owner, but that info is discarded when freeing,
and we don't track freeing at all.  This series improves those aspects.
With both debug_pagealloc and page_owner enabled, we can then get bug
reports such as the example in Patch 4.

SLUB debug tracking additionally stores cpu, pid and timestamp.  This could
be added later, if deemed useful enough to justify the additional page_ext
structure size.

This patch (of 3):

Currently, page owner info is only recorded for the first page of a
high-order allocation, and copied to tail pages in the event of a split
page.  With the plan to keep previous owner info after freeing the page,
it would be benefical to record page owner for each subpage upon
allocation.  This increases the overhead for high orders, but that should
be acceptable for a debugging option.

The order stored for each subpage is the order of the whole allocation.
This makes it possible to calculate the "head" pfn and to recognize "tail"
pages (quoted because not all high-order allocations are compound pages
with true head and tail pages).  When reading the page_owner debugfs file,
keep skipping the "tail" pages so that stats gathered by existing scripts
don't get inflated.

af52bf6b92 mm/page_owner: Simplify stack trace handling
Replace the indirection through struct stack_trace by using the storage
array based interfaces.

The original code in all printing functions is really wrong. It allocates a
storage array on stack which is unused because depot_fetch_stack() does not
store anything in it. It overwrites the entries pointer in the stack_trace
struct so it points to the depot storage.

The early_param() is only called during kernel initialization, So Linux
marks the functions of it with __init macro to save memory.

But it forgot to mark the early_page_owner_param().  So, Make it __init

299815a4fb mm/page_owner: fix recursion bug after changing skip entries
This patch fixes commit 5f48f0bd4e ("mm, page_owner: skip unnecessary
stack_trace entries").

Because if we skip first two entries then logic of checking count value
as 2 for recursion is broken and code will go in one depth recursion.

so we need to check only one call of _RET_IP(__set_page_owner) while
checking for recursion.

Current Backtrace while checking for recursion:-

  (save_stack)             from (__set_page_owner)  // (But recursion returns true here)
  (__set_page_owner)       from (get_page_from_freelist)
  (get_page_from_freelist) from (__alloc_pages_nodemask)
  (__alloc_pages_nodemask) from (depot_save_stack)
  (depot_save_stack)       from (save_stack)       // recursion should return true here
  (save_stack)             from (__set_page_owner)
  (__set_page_owner)       from (get_page_from_freelist)
  (get_page_from_freelist) from (__alloc_pages_nodemask+)
  (__alloc_pages_nodemask) from (depot_save_stack)
  (depot_save_stack)       from (save_stack)
  (save_stack)             from (__set_page_owner)
  (__set_page_owner)       from (get_page_from_freelist)

Correct Backtrace with fix:

  (save_stack)             from (__set_page_owner) // recursion returned true here
  (__set_page_owner)       from (get_page_from_freelist)

b24413180f License cleanup: add SPDX GPL-2.0 license identifier to files with no license
Many source files in the tree are missing licensing information, which
makes it harder for compliance tools to determine the correct license.

By default all files without license information are under the default
license of the kernel, which is GPL version 2.

Update the files which contain no license information with the 'GPL-2.0'
SPDX license identifier.  The SPDX identifier is a legally binding
shorthand, which can be used instead of the full boiler plate text.

This patch is based on work done by Thomas Gleixner and Kate Stewart and
Philippe Ombredanne.

How this work was done:

Patches were generated and checked against linux-4.14-rc6 for a subset of
the use cases:
 - file had no licensing information it it.
 - file was a */uapi/* one with no licensing information in it,
 - file was a */uapi/* one with existing licensing information,

Further patches will be generated in subsequent months to fix up cases
where non-standard license headers were used, and references to license
had to be inferred by heuristics based on keywords.

The analysis to determine which SPDX License Identifier to be applied to
a file was done in a spreadsheet of side by side results from of the
output of two independent scanners (ScanCode & Windriver) producing SPDX
tag:value files created by Philippe Ombredanne.  Philippe prepared the
base worksheet, and did an initial spot review of a few 1000 files.

The 4.13 kernel was the starting point of the analysis with 60,537 files
assessed.  Kate Stewart did a file by file comparison of the scanner
results in the spreadsheet to determine which SPDX license identifier(s)
to be applied to the file. She confirmed any determination that was not
immediately clear with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.

Criteria used to select files for SPDX license identifier tagging was:
 - Files considered eligible had to be source code files.
 - Make and config files were included as candidates if they contained >5
   lines of source
 - File already had some variant of a license header in it (even if <5
   lines).

All documentation files were explicitly excluded.

The following heuristics were used to determine which SPDX license
identifiers to apply.

 - when both scanners couldn't find any license traces, file was
   considered to have no license information in it, and the top level
   COPYING file license applied.

   For non */uapi/* files that summary was:

   SPDX license identifier                            # files
   ---------------------------------------------------|-------
   GPL-2.0                                              11139

   and resulted in the first patch in this series.

   If that file was a */uapi/* path one, it was "GPL-2.0 WITH
   Linux-syscall-note" otherwise it was "GPL-2.0".  Results of that was:

   SPDX license identifier                            # files
   ---------------------------------------------------|-------
   GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note                        930

   and resulted in the second patch in this series.

 - if a file had some form of licensing information in it, and was one
   of the */uapi/* ones, it was denoted with the Linux-syscall-note if
   any GPL family license was found in the file or had no licensing in
   it (per prior point).  Results summary:

   SPDX license identifier                            # files
   ---------------------------------------------------|------
   GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note                       270
   GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note                      169
   ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-2-Clause)    21
   ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause)    17
   LGPL-2.1+ WITH Linux-syscall-note                      15
   GPL-1.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note                       14
   ((GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause)    5
   LGPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note                       4
   LGPL-2.1 WITH Linux-syscall-note                        3
   ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR MIT)              3
   ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) AND MIT)             1

   and that resulted in the third patch in this series.

 - when the two scanners agreed on the detected license(s), that became
   the concluded license(s).

 - when there was disagreement between the two scanners (one detected a
   license but the other didn't, or they both detected different
   licenses) a manual inspection of the file occurred.

 - In most cases a manual inspection of the information in the file
   resulted in a clear resolution of the license that should apply (and
   which scanner probably needed to revisit its heuristics).

 - When it was not immediately clear, the license identifier was
   confirmed with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.

 - If there was any question as to the appropriate license identifier,
   the file was flagged for further research and to be revisited later
   in time.

In total, over 70 hours of logged manual review was done on the
spreadsheet to determine the SPDX license identifiers to apply to the
source files by Kate, Philippe, Thomas and, in some cases, confirmation
by lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.

Kate also obtained a third independent scan of the 4.13 code base from
FOSSology, and compared selected files where the other two scanners
disagreed against that SPDX file, to see if there was new insights.  The
Windriver scanner is based on an older version of FOSSology in part, so
they are related.

Thomas did random spot checks in about 500 files from the spreadsheets
for the uapi headers and agreed with SPDX license identifier in the
files he inspected. For the non-uapi files Thomas did random spot checks
in about 15000 files.

In initial set of patches against 4.14-rc6, 3 files were found to have
copy/paste license identifier errors, and have been fixed to reflect the
correct identifier.

Additionally Philippe spent 10 hours this week doing a detailed manual
inspection and review of the 12,461 patched files from the initial patch
version early this week with:
 - a full scancode scan run, collecting the matched texts, detected
   license ids and scores
 - reviewing anything where there was a license detected (about 500+
   files) to ensure that the applied SPDX license was correct
 - reviewing anything where there was no detection but the patch license
   was not GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note to ensure that the applied
   SPDX license was correct

This produced a worksheet with 20 files needing minor correction.  This
worksheet was then exported into 3 different .csv files for the
different types of files to be modified.

These .csv files were then reviewed by Greg.  Thomas wrote a script to
parse the csv files and add the proper SPDX tag to the file, in the
format that the file expected.  This script was further refined by Greg
based on the output to detect more types of files automatically and to
distinguish between header and source .c files (which need different
comment types.)  Finally Greg ran the script using the .csv files to
generate the patches.

1090302794 mm, page_owner: don't grab zone->lock for init_pages_in_zone()
init_pages_in_zone() is run under zone->lock, which means a long lock
time and disabled interrupts on large machines.  This is currently not
an issue since it runs early in boot, but a later patch will change
that.

However, like other pfn scanners, we don't actually need zone->lock even
when other cpus are running.  The only potentially dangerous operation
here is reading bogus buddy page owner due to race, and we already know
how to handle that.  The worst that can happen is that we skip some
early allocated pages, which should not affect the debugging power of
page_owner noticeably.

dab4ead1a9 mm, page_owner: make init_pages_in_zone() faster
In init_pages_in_zone() we currently use the generic set_page_owner()
function to initialize page_owner info for early allocated pages.  This
means we needlessly do lookup_page_ext() twice for each page, and more
importantly save_stack(), which has to unwind the stack and find the
corresponding stack depot handle.  Because the stack is always the same
for the initialization, unwind it once in init_pages_in_zone() and reuse
the handle.  Also avoid the repeated lookup_page_ext().

This can significantly reduce boot times with page_owner=on on large
machines, especially for kernels built without frame pointer, where the
stack unwinding is noticeably slower.

complete and it does this holding the zone lock and disabling
interrupts.  In some cases it is found to take more than a second (On a

Avoid taking the zone lock similar to what is done by read_page_owner,
which means possibility of inaccurate results.

There is a memory waste problem if we define field on struct page_ext by
hard-coding.  Entry size of struct page_ext includes the size of those
fields even if it is disabled at runtime.  Now, extra memory request at
runtime is possible so page_owner don't need to define it's own fields
by hard-coding.

This patch removes hard-coded define and uses extra memory for storing
page_owner information in page_owner.  Most of code are just mechanical
changes.

f2ca0b5571 mm/page_owner: use stackdepot to store stacktrace
Currently, we store each page's allocation stacktrace on corresponding
page_ext structure and it requires a lot of memory.  This causes the
problem that memory tight system doesn't work well if page_owner is
enabled.  Moreover, even with this large memory consumption, we cannot
get full stacktrace because we allocate memory at boot time and just
maintain 8 stacktrace slots to balance memory consumption.  We could
increase it to more but it would make system unusable or change system
behaviour.

To solve the problem, this patch uses stackdepot to store stacktrace.
It obviously provides memory saving but there is a drawback that
stackdepot could fail.

stackdepot allocates memory at runtime so it could fail if system has
not enough memory.  But, most of allocation stack are generated at very
early time and there are much memory at this time.  So, failure would
not happen easily.  And, one failure means that we miss just one page's
allocation stacktrace so it would not be a big problem.  In this patch,
when memory allocation failure happens, we store special stracktrace
handle to the page that is failed to save stacktrace.  With it, user can
guess memory usage properly even if failure happens.

Memory saving looks as following.  (4GB memory system with page_owner)
(before the patch -> after the patch)

static allocation:
92274688 bytes -> 25165824 bytes

dynamic allocation after boot + kernel build:
0 bytes -> 327680 bytes

total:
92274688 bytes -> 25493504 bytes

72% reduction in total.

Note that implementation looks complex than someone would imagine
because there is recursion issue.  stackdepot uses page allocator and
page_owner is called at page allocation.  Using stackdepot in page_owner
could re-call page allcator and then page_owner.  That is a recursion.
To detect and avoid it, whenever we obtain stacktrace, recursion is
checked and page_owner is set to dummy information if found.  Dummy
information means that this page is allocated for page_owner feature
itself (such as stackdepot) and it's understandable behavior for user.

a9627bc5e3 mm/page_owner: introduce split_page_owner and replace manual handling
split_page() calls set_page_owner() to set up page_owner to each pages.
But, it has a drawback that head page and the others have different
stacktrace because callsite of set_page_owner() is slightly differnt.
To avoid this problem, this patch copies head page's page_owner to the
others.  It needs to introduce new function, split_page_owner() but it
also remove the other function, get_page_owner_gfp() so looks good to
do.

Without this patch, above system could over count early allocated page

4e462112e9 mm, page_owner: dump page owner info from dump_page()
The page_owner mechanism is useful for dealing with memory leaks.  By
reading /sys/kernel/debug/page_owner one can determine the stack traces
leading to allocations of all pages, and find e.g.  a buggy driver.

This information might be also potentially useful for debugging, such as
the VM_BUG_ON_PAGE() calls to dump_page().  So let's print the stored

7cd12b4abf mm, page_owner: track and print last migrate reason
During migration, page_owner info is now copied with the rest of the
page, so the stacktrace leading to free page allocation during migration
is overwritten.  For debugging purposes, it might be however useful to
know that the page has been migrated since its initial allocation.  This
might happen many times during the lifetime for different reasons and
fully tracking this, especially with stacktraces would incur extra
memory costs.  As a compromise, store and print the migrate_reason of
the last migration that occurred to the page.  This is enough to
distinguish compaction, numa balancing etc.

Example page_owner entry after the patch:

  Page allocated via order 0, mask 0x24200ca(GFP_HIGHUSER_MOVABLE)

d435edca92 mm, page_owner: copy page owner info during migration
The page_owner mechanism stores gfp_flags of an allocation and stack
trace that lead to it.  During page migration, the original information
is practically replaced by the allocation of free page as the migration
target.  Arguably this is less useful and might lead to all the
page_owner info for migratable pages gradually converge towards
compaction or numa balancing migrations.  It has also lead to
inaccuracies such as one fixed by commit e2cfc91120 ("mm/page_owner:
set correct gfp_mask on page_owner").

This patch thus introduces copying the page_owner info during migration.
However, since the fact that the page has been migrated from its
original place might be useful for debugging, the next patch will
introduce a way to track that information as well.

60f30350fd mm, page_owner: print migratetype of page and pageblock, symbolic flags
The information in /sys/kernel/debug/page_owner includes the migratetype
of the pageblock the page belongs to.  This is also checked against the
page's migratetype (as declared by gfp_flags during its allocation), and
the page is reported as Fallback if its migratetype differs from the
pageblock's one.  t This is somewhat misleading because in fact fallback
allocation is not the only reason why these two can differ.  It also
doesn't direcly provide the page's migratetype, although it's possible
to derive that from the gfp_flags.

It's arguably better to print both page and pageblock's migratetype and
leave the interpretation to the consumer than to suggest fallback
allocation as the only possible reason.  While at it, we can print the
migratetypes as string the same way as /proc/pagetypeinfo does, as some
of the numeric values depend on kernel configuration.  For that, this
patch moves the migratetype_names array from #ifdef CONFIG_PROC_FS part
of mm/vmstat.c to mm/page_alloc.c and exports it.

With the new format strings for flags, we can now also provide symbolic
page and gfp flags in the /sys/kernel/debug/page_owner file.  This
replaces the positional printing of page flags as single letters, which
might have looked nicer, but was limited to a subset of flags, and
required the user to remember the letters.

Example page_owner entry after the patch:

e2cfc91120 mm/page_owner: set correct gfp_mask on page_owner
Currently, we set wrong gfp_mask to page_owner info in case of isolated
freepage by compaction and split page.  It causes incorrect mixed
pageblock report that we can get from '/proc/pagetypeinfo'.  This metric
is really useful to measure fragmentation effect so should be accurate.
This patch fixes it by setting correct information.

Without this patch, after kernel build workload is finished, number of
mixed pageblock is 112 among roughly 210 movable pageblocks.

But, with this fix, output shows that mixed pageblock is just 57.

44c5af96de mm/page_owner.c: use late_initcall to hook in enabling
This was using module_init, but there is no way this code can
be modular.  In the non-modular case, a module_init becomes a
device_initcall, but this really isn't a device.   So we should
choose a more appropriate initcall bucket to put it in.

In order of execution, our close choices are:

 fs_initcall(fn)
 rootfs_initcall(fn)
 device_initcall(fn)
 late_initcall(fn)

..and since the initcall here goes after debugfs, we really
should be post-rootfs, which means late_initcall makes the
most sense here.

94f759d62b mm/page_owner.c: remove unnecessary stack_trace field
Page owner uses the page_ext structure to keep meta-information for every
page in the system.  The structure also contains a field of type 'struct
stack_trace', page owner uses this field during invocation of the function
save_stack_trace.  It is easy to notice that keeping a copy of this
structure for every page in the system is very inefficiently in terms of
memory.

The patch removes this unnecessary field of page_ext and forces page owner
to use a stack_trace structure allocated on the stack.

61cf5febdf mm/page_owner: correct owner information for early allocated pages
Extended memory to store page owner information is initialized some time
later than that page allocator starts.  Until initialization, many pages
can be allocated and they have no owner information.  This make debugging
using page owner harder, so some fixup will be helpful.

This patch fixes up this situation by setting fake owner information
immediately after page extension is initialized.  Information doesn't tell
the right owner, but, at least, it can tell whether page is allocated or
not, more correctly.

On my testing, this patch catches 13343 early allocated pages, although
they are mostly allocated from page extension feature.  Anyway, after
then, there is no page left that it is allocated and has no page owner
flag.

48c96a3685 mm/page_owner: keep track of page owners
This is the page owner tracking code which is introduced so far ago.  It
is resident on Andrew's tree, though, nobody tried to upstream so it
remain as is.  Our company uses this feature actively to debug memory leak
or to find a memory hogger so I decide to upstream this feature.

This functionality help us to know who allocates the page.  When
allocating a page, we store some information about allocation in extra
memory.  Later, if we need to know status of all pages, we can get and
analyze it from this stored information.

In previous version of this feature, extra memory is statically defined in
struct page, but, in this version, extra memory is allocated outside of
struct page.  It enables us to turn on/off this feature at boottime
without considerable memory waste.

Although we already have tracepoint for tracing page allocation/free,
using it to analyze page owner is rather complex.  We need to enlarge the
trace buffer for preventing overlapping until userspace program launched.
And, launched program continually dump out the trace buffer for later
analysis and it would change system behaviour with more possibility rather
than just keeping it in memory, so bad for debug.

Moreover, we can use page_owner feature further for various purposes.  For
example, we can use it for fragmentation statistics implemented in this
patch.  And, I also plan to implement some CMA failure debugging feature
using this interface.

I'd like to give the credit for all developers contributed this feature,
but, it's not easy because I don't know exact history.  Sorry about that.
