eb9a3c62a0 mempool: add unlikely and likely hints
Add unlikely and likely hints to the function mempool_free.  It lays out
the code in such a way that the common path is executed straighforward and
saves a cache line.

da1c67a76f mm, compaction: determine isolation mode only once
The conditions that control the isolation mode in
isolate_migratepages_range() do not change during the iteration, so
extract them out and only define the value once.

This actually does have an effect, gcc doesn't optimize it itself because
of cc->sync.

f0432d1596 mm, mempolicy: remove per-process flag
PF_MEMPOLICY is an unnecessary optimization for CONFIG_SLAB users.
There's no significant performance degradation to checking
current->mempolicy rather than current->flags & PF_MEMPOLICY in the
allocation path, especially since this is considered unlikely().

Running TCP_RR with netperf-2.4.5 through localhost on 16 cpu machine with
64GB of memory and without a mempolicy:

	threads		before		after
	16		1249409		1244487
	32		1281786		1246783
	48		1239175		1239138

	112		1307398		1312135
	128		1327607		1326502

Per-process flags are a scarce resource so we should free them up whenever
possible and make them available.  We'll be using it shortly for memcg oom
reserves.

2a389610a7 mm, mempolicy: rename slab_node for clarity
slab_node() is actually a mempolicy function, so rename it to
mempolicy_slab_node() to make it clearer that it used for processes with
mempolicies.

At the same time, cleanup its code by saving numa_mem_id() in a local
variable (since we require a node with memory, not just any node) and
remove an obsolete comment that assumes the mempolicy is actually passed
into the function.

3b32123d73 mm: use macros from compiler.h instead of __attribute__((...))
To increase compiler portability there is <linux/compiler.h> which
provides convenience macros for various gcc constructs.  Eg: __weak for
__attribute__((weak)).  I've replaced all instances of gcc attributes with
the right macro in the memory management (/mm) subsystem.

615d6e8756 mm: per-thread vma caching
This patch is a continuation of efforts trying to optimize find_vma(),
avoiding potentially expensive rbtree walks to locate a vma upon faults.
The original approach (https://lkml.org/lkml/2013/11/1/410), where the
largest vma was also cached, ended up being too specific and random,
thus further comparison with other approaches were needed.  There are
two things to consider when dealing with this, the cache hit rate and
the latency of find_vma().  Improving the hit-rate does not necessarily
translate in finding the vma any faster, as the overhead of any fancy
caching schemes can be too high to consider.

We currently cache the last used vma for the whole address space, which
provides a nice optimization, reducing the total cycles in find_vma() by
up to 250%, for workloads with good locality.  On the other hand, this
simple scheme is pretty much useless for workloads with poor locality.
Analyzing ebizzy runs shows that, no matter how many threads are
running, the mmap_cache hit rate is less than 2%, and in many situations
below 1%.

The proposed approach is to replace this scheme with a small per-thread
cache, maximizing hit rates at a very low maintenance cost.
Invalidations are performed by simply bumping up a 32-bit sequence
number.  The only expensive operation is in the rare case of a seq
number overflow, where all caches that share the same address space are
flushed.  Upon a miss, the proposed replacement policy is based on the
page number that contains the virtual address in question.  Concretely,
the following results are seen on an 80 core, 8 socket x86-64 box:

1) System bootup: Most programs are single threaded, so the per-thread
   scheme does improve ~50% hit rate by just adding a few more slots to
   the cache.

+----------------+----------+------------------+
| caching scheme | hit-rate | cycles (billion) |
+----------------+----------+------------------+
| baseline       | 50.61%   | 19.90            |
| patched        | 73.45%   | 13.58            |
+----------------+----------+------------------+

2) Kernel build: This one is already pretty good with the current
   approach as we're dealing with good locality.

+----------------+----------+------------------+
| caching scheme | hit-rate | cycles (billion) |
+----------------+----------+------------------+
| baseline       | 75.28%   | 11.03            |
| patched        | 88.09%   | 9.31             |
+----------------+----------+------------------+

3) Oracle 11g Data Mining (4k pages): Similar to the kernel build workload.

+----------------+----------+------------------+
| caching scheme | hit-rate | cycles (billion) |
+----------------+----------+------------------+
| baseline       | 70.66%   | 17.14            |
| patched        | 91.15%   | 12.57            |
+----------------+----------+------------------+

4) Ebizzy: There's a fair amount of variation from run to run, but this
   approach always shows nearly perfect hit rates, while baseline is just
   about non-existent.  The amounts of cycles can fluctuate between
   anywhere from ~60 to ~116 for the baseline scheme, but this approach
   reduces it considerably.  For instance, with 80 threads:

+----------------+----------+------------------+
| caching scheme | hit-rate | cycles (billion) |
+----------------+----------+------------------+
| baseline       | 1.06%    | 91.54            |
| patched        | 99.97%   | 14.18            |
+----------------+----------+------------------+

f1820361f8 mm: implement ->map_pages for page cache
filemap_map_pages() is generic implementation of ->map_pages() for
filesystems who uses page cache.

It should be safe to use filemap_map_pages() for ->map_pages() if
filesystem use filemap_fault() for ->fault().

8c6e50b029 mm: introduce vm_ops->map_pages()
Here's new version of faultaround patchset.  It took a while to tune it
and collect performance data.

First patch adds new callback ->map_pages to vm_operations_struct.

->map_pages() is called when VM asks to map easy accessible pages.
Filesystem should find and map pages associated with offsets from
"pgoff" till "max_pgoff".  ->map_pages() is called with page table
locked and must not block.  If it's not possible to reach a page without
blocking, filesystem should skip it.  Filesystem should use do_set_pte()
to setup page table entry.  Pointer to entry associated with offset
"pgoff" is passed in "pte" field in vm_fault structure.  Pointers to
entries for other offsets should be calculated relative to "pte".

Currently VM use ->map_pages only on read page fault path.  We try to
map FAULT_AROUND_PAGES a time.  FAULT_AROUND_PAGES is 16 for now.
Performance data for different FAULT_AROUND_ORDER is below.

TODO:
 - implement ->map_pages() for shmem/tmpfs;
 - modify get_user_pages() to be able to use ->map_pages() and implement
   mmap(MAP_POPULATE|MAP_NONBLOCK) on top.

=========================================================================
Tested on 4-socket machine (120 threads) with 128GiB of RAM.

Few real-world workloads. The sweet spot for FAULT_AROUND_ORDER here is
somewhere between 3 and 5. Let's say 4 :)

This patch (of 2):

Introduce new vm_ops callback ->map_pages() and uses it for mapping easy
accessible pages around fault address.

On read page fault, if filesystem provides ->map_pages(), we try to map up
to FAULT_AROUND_PAGES pages around page fault address in hope to reduce
number of minor page faults.

We call ->map_pages first and use ->fault() as fallback if page by the
offset is not ready to be mapped (cold page cache or something).

1e1836e84f mm: revert "thp: make MADV_HUGEPAGE check for mm->def_flags"
The main motivation behind this patch is to provide a way to disable THP
for jobs where the code cannot be modified, and using a malloc hook with
madvise is not an option (i.e.  statically allocated data).  This patch
allows us to do just that, without affecting other jobs running on the
system.

We need to do this sort of thing for jobs where THP hurts performance,
due to the possibility of increased remote memory accesses that can be
created by situations such as the following:

When you touch 1 byte of an untouched, contiguous 2MB chunk, a THP will
be handed out, and the THP will be stuck on whatever node the chunk was
originally referenced from.  If many remote nodes need to do work on
that same chunk, they'll be making remote accesses.

With THP disabled, 4K pages can be handed out to separate nodes as
they're needed, greatly reducing the amount of remote accesses to
memory.

This patch is based on some of my work combined with some
suggestions/patches given by Oleg Nesterov.  The main goal here is to
add a prctl switch to allow us to disable to THP on a per mm_struct
basis.

Here's a bit of test data with the new patch in place...

As with previous versions of the patch, We're getting about a 2x
performance increase here.  Here's a link to the test case I used, along
with the little wrapper to activate the flag:

  http://oss.sgi.com/projects/memtests/thp_pthread_mmprctlv3.tar.gz

This patch (of 3):

Revert commit 8e72033f2a and add in code to fix up any issues caused
by the revert.

The revert is necessary because hugepage_madvise would return -EINVAL
when VM_NOHUGEPAGE is set, which will break subsequent chunks of this
patch set.

Here's a snip of an e-mail from Gerald detailing the original purpose of
this code, and providing justification for the revert:

  "The intent of commit 8e72033f2a was to guard against any future
   programming errors that may result in an madvice(MADV_HUGEPAGE) on
   guest mappings, which would crash the kernel.

   Martin suggested adding the bit to arch/s390/mm/pgtable.c, if
   8e72033f2a was to be reverted, because that check will also prevent
   a kernel crash in the case described above, it will now send a
   SIGSEGV instead.

   This would now also allow to do the madvise on other parts, if
   needed, so it is a more flexible approach.  One could also say that
   it would have been better to do it this way right from the
   beginning..."

c122b2087a mm/compaction: check pageblock suitability once per pageblock
isolation_suitable() and migrate_async_suitable() is used to be sure
that this pageblock range is fine to be migragted.  It isn't needed to
call it on every page.  Current code do well if not suitable, but, don't
do well when suitable.

1) It re-checks isolation_suitable() on each page of a pageblock that was
   already estabilished as suitable.
2) It re-checks migrate_async_suitable() on each page of a pageblock that
   was not entered through the next_pageblock: label, because
   last_pageblock_nr is not otherwise updated.

This patch fixes situation by 1) calling isolation_suitable() only once
per pageblock and 2) always updating last_pageblock_nr to the pageblock
that was just checked.

Additionally, move PageBuddy() check after pageblock unit check, since
pageblock check is the first thing we should do and makes things more
simple.

be1aa03b97 mm/compaction: change the timing to check to drop the spinlock
It is odd to drop the spinlock when we scan (SWAP_CLUSTER_MAX - 1) th
pfn page.  This may results in below situation while isolating
migratepage.

1. try isolate 0x0 ~ 0x200 pfn pages.
2. When low_pfn is 0x1ff, ((low_pfn+1) % SWAP_CLUSTER_MAX) == 0, so drop
   the spinlock.
3. Then, to complete isolating, retry to aquire the lock.

I think that it is better to use SWAP_CLUSTER_MAX th pfn for checking the
criteria about dropping the lock.  This has no harm 0x0 pfn, because, at
this time, locked variable would be false.

01ead5340b mm/compaction: do not call suitable_migration_target() on every page
suitable_migration_target() checks that pageblock is suitable for
migration target.  In isolate_freepages_block(), it is called on every
page and this is inefficient.  So make it called once per pageblock.

suitable_migration_target() also checks if page is highorder or not, but
it's criteria for highorder is pageblock order.  So calling it once
within pageblock range has no problem.

7d348b9ea6 mm/compaction: disallow high-order page for migration target
Purpose of compaction is to get a high order page.  Currently, if we
find high-order page while searching migration target page, we break it
to order-0 pages and use them as migration target.  It is contrary to
purpose of compaction, so disallow high-order page to be used for
migration target.

Additionally, clean-up logic in suitable_migration_target() to simplify
the code.  There is no functional changes from this clean-up.

70ef57e6c2 mm: exclude memoryless nodes from zone_reclaim
We had a report about strange OOM killer strikes on a PPC machine
although there was a lot of swap free and a tons of anonymous memory
which could be swapped out.  In the end it turned out that the OOM was a
side effect of zone reclaim which wasn't unmapping and swapping out and
so the system was pushed to the OOM.  Although this sounds like a bug
somewhere in the kswapd vs.  zone reclaim vs.  direct reclaim
interaction numactl on the said hardware suggests that the zone reclaim
should not have been set in the first place:

  node 0 cpus: 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15
  node 0 size: 0 MB
  node 0 free: 0 MB
  node 2 cpus:
  node 2 size: 7168 MB
  node 2 free: 6019 MB
  node distances:
  node   0   2
  0:  10  40
  2:  40  10

So all the CPUs are associated with Node0 which doesn't have any memory
while Node2 contains all the available memory.  Node distances cause an
automatic zone_reclaim_mode enabling.

Zone reclaim is intended to keep the allocations local but this doesn't
make any sense on the memoryless nodes.  So let's exclude such nodes for
init_zone_allows_reclaim which evaluates zone reclaim behavior and
suitable reclaim_nodes.

9bbc04eeb0 mm/vmscan: do not check compaction_ready on promoted zones
We abort direct reclaim if we find the zone is ready for compaction.
Sometimes the zone is just a promoted highmem zone to force a scan of
highmem, which is not the intended zone the caller want to allocate a
page from.  In this situation, setting aborted_reclaim to indicate the
caller turned back to retry the allocation is waste of time and could
cause a loop in __alloc_pages_slowpath().

This patch does not check compaction_ready() on promoted zones to avoid
the above situation.  Only set aborted_reclaim if the caller intended
zone is ready for compaction.

a5338093bf mm: move mmu notifier call from change_protection to change_pmd_range
The NUMA scanning code can end up iterating over many gigabytes of
unpopulated memory, especially in the case of a freshly started KVM
guest with lots of memory.

This results in the mmu notifier code being called even when there are
no mapped pages in a virtual address range.  The amount of time wasted
can be enough to trigger soft lockup warnings with very large KVM
guests.

This patch moves the mmu notifier call to the pmd level, which
represents 1GB areas of memory on x86-64.  Furthermore, the mmu notifier
code is only called from the address in the PMD where present mappings
are first encountered.

The hugetlbfs code is left alone for now; hugetlb mappings are not
relocatable, and as such are left alone by the NUMA code, and should
never trigger this problem to begin with.

1ad9f620c3 mm: numa: recheck for transhuge pages under lock during protection changes

The VM_BUG_ON was added in -mm by the patch "mm,numa: reorganize
change_pmd_range".  The race existed without the patch but was just
harder to hit.

The problem is that a transhuge check is made without holding the PTL.
It's possible at the time of the check that a parallel fault clears the
pmd and inserts a new one which then triggers the VM_BUG_ON check.  This
patch removes the VM_BUG_ON but fixes the race by rechecking transhuge
under the PTL when marking page tables for NUMA hinting and bailing if a
race occurred.  It is not a problem for calls to mprotect() as they hold
mmap_sem for write.

Pull ARM changes from Russell King:

 - Perf updates from Will Deacon:
   - Support for Qualcomm Krait processors (run perf on your phone!)
   - Support for Cortex-A12 (run perf stat on your FPGA!)
   - Support for perf_sample_event_took, allowing us to automatically decrease
     the sample rate if we can't handle the PMU interrupts quickly enough
     (run perf record on your FPGA!).

 - Basic uprobes support from David Long:
     This patch series adds basic uprobes support to ARM. It is based on
     patches developed earlier by Rabin Vincent. That approach of adding
     hooks into the kprobes instruction parsing code was not well received.
     This approach separates the ARM instruction parsing code in kprobes out
     into a separate set of functions which can be used by both kprobes and
     uprobes. Both kprobes and uprobes then provide their own semantic action
     tables to process the results of the parsing.

 - ARMv7M (microcontroller) updates from Uwe Kleine-König

 - OMAP DMA updates (recently added Vinod's Ack even though they've been
   sitting in linux-next for a few months) to reduce the reliance of
   omap-dma on the code in arch/arm.

 - SA11x0 changes from Dmitry Eremin-Solenikov and Alexander Shiyan

 - Support for Cortex-A12 CPU

 - Align support for ARMv6 with ARMv7 so they can cooperate better in a
   single zImage.

 - Addition of first AT_HWCAP2 feature bits for ARMv8 crypto support.

 - Removal of IRQ_DISABLED from various ARM files

 - Improved efficiency of virt_to_page() for single zImage

 - Patch from Ulf Hansson to permit runtime PM callbacks to be available for
   AMBA devices for suspend/resume as well.

 - Finally kill asm/system.h on ARM.

cda540ace6 mm: get_user_pages(write,force) refuse to COW in shared areas
get_user_pages(write=1, force=1) has always had odd behaviour on write-
protected shared mappings: although it demands FMODE_WRITE-access to the
underlying object (do_mmap_pgoff sets neither VM_SHARED nor VM_MAYWRITE
without that), it ends up with do_wp_page substituting private anonymous
Copied-On-Write pages for the shared file pages in the area.

That was long ago intentional, as a safety measure to prevent ptrace
setting a breakpoint (or POKETEXT or POKEDATA) from inadvertently
corrupting the underlying executable.  Yet exec and dynamic loaders open
the file read-only, and use MAP_PRIVATE rather than MAP_SHARED.

The traditional odd behaviour still causes surprises and bugs in mm, and
is probably not what any caller wants - even the comment on the flag
says "You do not want this" (although it's undoubtedly necessary for
overriding userspace protections in some contexts, and good when !write).

Let's stop doing that.  But it would be dangerous to remove the long-
standing safety at this stage, so just make get_user_pages(write,force)
fail with EFAULT when applied to a write-protected shared area.
Infiniband may in future want to force write through to underlying
object: we can add another FOLL_flag later to enable that if required.

Odd though the old behaviour was, there is no doubt that we may turn out
to break userspace with this change, and have to revert it quickly.
Issue a WARN_ON_ONCE to help debug the changed case (easily triggered by
userspace, so only once to prevent spamming the logs); and delay a few
associated cleanups until this change is proved.

get_user_pages callers who might see trouble from this change:
  ptrace poking, or writing to /proc/<pid>/mem
  drivers/infiniband/
  drivers/media/v4l2-core/
  drivers/gpu/drm/exynos/exynos_drm_gem.c
  drivers/staging/tidspbridge/core/tiomap3430.c
if they ever apply get_user_pages to write-protected shared mappings
of an object which was opened for writing.

I went to apply the same change to mm/nommu.c, but retreated.  NOMMU has
no place for COW, and its VM_flags conventions are not the same: I'd be
more likely to screw up NOMMU than make an improvement there.

6d2be915e5 mm/readahead.c: fix readahead failure for memoryless NUMA nodes and limit readahead pages
Currently max_sane_readahead() returns zero on the cpu whose NUMA node
has no local memory which leads to readahead failure.  Fix this
readahead failure by returning minimum of (requested pages, 512).  Users
running applications on a memory-less cpu which needs readahead such as
streaming application see considerable boost in the performance.

Result:

fadvise experiment with FADV_WILLNEED on a PPC machine having memoryless
CPU with 1GB testfile (12 iterations) yielded around 46.66% improvement.

421af243b1 slub: do not drop slab_mutex for sysfs_slab_add
We release the slab_mutex while calling sysfs_slab_add from
__kmem_cache_create since commit 66c4c35c6b ("slub: Do not hold
slub_lock when calling sysfs_slab_add()"), because kobject_uevent called
by sysfs_slab_add might block waiting for the usermode helper to exec,
which would result in a deadlock if we took the slab_mutex while
executing it.

However, apart from complicating synchronization rules, releasing the
slab_mutex on kmem cache creation can result in a kmemcg-related race.
The point is that we check if the memcg cache exists before going to
__kmem_cache_create, but register the new cache in memcg subsys after
it.  Since we can drop the mutex there, several threads can see that the
memcg cache does not exist and proceed to creating it, which is wrong.

Fortunately, recently kobject_uevent was patched to call the usermode
helper with the UMH_NO_WAIT flag, making the deadlock impossible.
Therefore there is no point in releasing the slab_mutex while calling
sysfs_slab_add, so let's simplify kmem_cache_create synchronization and
fix the kmemcg-race mentioned above by holding the slab_mutex during the
whole cache creation path.

5509a5d27b drop_caches: add some documentation and info message
There is plenty of anecdotal evidence and a load of blog posts
suggesting that using "drop_caches" periodically keeps your system
running in "tip top shape".  Perhaps adding some kernel documentation
will increase the amount of accurate data on its use.

If we are not shrinking caches effectively, then we have real bugs.
Using drop_caches will simply mask the bugs and make them harder to
find, but certainly does not fix them, nor is it an appropriate
"workaround" to limit the size of the caches.  On the contrary, there
have been bug reports on issues that turned out to be misguided use of
cache dropping.

Dropping caches is a very drastic and disruptive operation that is good
for debugging and running tests, but if it creates bug reports from
production use, kernel developers should be aware of its use.

Add a bit more documentation about it, a syslog message to track down
abusers, and vmstat drop counters to help analyze problem reports.

67f9fd91f9 mm: remove read_cache_page_async()
This patch removes read_cache_page_async() which wasn't really needed
anywhere and simplifies the code around it a bit.

read_cache_page_async() is useful when we want to read a page into the
cache without waiting for it to complete.  This happens when the
appropriate callback 'filler' doesn't complete its read operation and
releases the page lock immediately, and instead queues a different
completion routine to do that.  This never actually happened anywhere in
the code.

read_cache_page_async() had 3 different callers:

- read_cache_page() which is the sync version, it would just wait for
  the requested read to complete using wait_on_page_read().

- JFFS2 would call it from jffs2_gc_fetch_page(), but the filler
  function it supplied doesn't do any async reads, and would complete
  before the filler function returns - making it actually a sync read.

- CRAMFS would call it using the read_mapping_page_async() wrapper, with
  a similar story to JFFS2 - the filler function doesn't do anything that
  reminds async reads and would always complete before the filler function
  returns.

To sum it up, the code in mm/filemap.c never took advantage of having
read_cache_page_async().  While there are filler callbacks that do async
reads (such as the block one), we always called it with the
read_cache_page().

This patch adds a mandatory wait for read to complete when adding a new
page to the cache, and removes read_cache_page_async() and its wrappers.
