73b44ff43c mm/pgtable: don't accumulate addr during pgd prepopulate pmd
The old codes accumulate addr to get right pmd, however, currently pmds
are preallocated and transfered as a parameter, there is unnecessary to
accumulate addr variable any more, this patch remove it.

1de14c3c5c x86-32: Fix possible incomplete TLB invalidate with PAE pagetables
This patch attempts to fix:

	https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=56461

The symptom is a crash and messages like this:

	chrome: Corrupted page table at address 34a03000
	*pdpt = 0000000000000000 *pde = 0000000000000000
	Bad pagetable: 000f [#1] PREEMPT SMP

Ingo guesses this got introduced by commit 611ae8e3f5 ("x86/tlb:
enable tlb flush range support for x86") since that code started to free
unused pagetables.

On x86-32 PAE kernels, that new code has the potential to free an entire
PMD page and will clear one of the four page-directory-pointer-table
(aka pgd_t entries).

The hardware aggressively "caches" these top-level entries and invlpg
does not actually affect the CPU's copy.  If we clear one we *HAVE* to
do a full TLB flush, otherwise we might continue using a freed pmd page.
(note, we do this properly on the population side in pud_populate()).

This patch tracks whenever we clear one of these entries in the 'struct
mmu_gather', and ensures that we follow up with a full tlb flush.

BTW, I disassembled and checked that:

	if (tlb->fullmm == 0)
and
	if (!tlb->fullmm && !tlb->need_flush_all)

generate essentially the same code, so there should be zero impact there
to the !PAE case.

Merge tag 'balancenuma-v11' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/mel/linux-balancenuma

Pull Automatic NUMA Balancing bare-bones from Mel Gorman:
 "There are three implementations for NUMA balancing, this tree
  (balancenuma), numacore which has been developed in tip/master and
  autonuma which is in aa.git.

  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."

e4a1cc56e4 x86: mm: drop TLB flush from ptep_set_access_flags
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.

0f9a921cf9 x86: mm: only do a local tlb flush in ptep_set_access_flags()
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.

5e4bf1a55d x86/mm: Don't flush the TLB on #WP pmd fixups
If we have a write protection #PF and fix up the pmd then the
hugetlb code [the only user of pmdp_set_access_flags], in its
do_huge_pmd_wp_page() page fault resolution function calls
pmdp_set_access_flags() to mark the pmd permissive again,
and flushes the TLB.

This TLB flush is unnecessary: a flush on #PF is guaranteed on
most (all?) x86 CPUs, and even in the worst-case we'll generate
a spurious fault.

So remove it.

4981d01ead x86: Flush TLB if PGD entry is changed in i386 PAE mode
According to intel CPU manual, every time PGD entry is changed in i386 PAE
mode, we need do a full TLB flush. Current code follows this and there is
comment for this too in the code.

But current code misses the multi-threaded case. A changed page table
might be used by several CPUs, every such CPU should flush TLB. Usually
this isn't a problem, because we prepopulate all PGD entries at process
fork. But when the process does munmap and follows new mmap, this issue
will be triggered.

When it happens, some CPUs keep doing page faults:

methods and it's needed to serialize the VM against split_huge_page.  It
simply atomically sets the splitting bit in a similar way
pmdp_clear_flush_young atomically clears the accessed bit.
pmdp_splitting_flush() also has to flush the tlb to make it effective
against gup_fast, but it wouldn't really require to flush the tlb too.
Just the tlb flush is the simplest operation we can invoke to serialize
pmdp_splitting_flush() against gup_fast.

617d34d9e5 x86, mm: Hold mm->page_table_lock while doing vmalloc_sync
Take mm->page_table_lock while syncing the vmalloc region.  This prevents
a race with the Xen pagetable pin/unpin code, which expects that the
page_table_lock is already held.  If this race occurs, then Xen can see
an inconsistent page type (a page can either be read/write or a pagetable
page, and pin/unpin converts it between them), which will cause either
the pin or the set_p[gm]d to fail; either will crash the kernel.

vmalloc_sync_all() should be called rarely, so this extra use of
page_table_lock should not interfere with its normal users.

The mm pointer is stashed in the pgd page's index field, as that won't
be otherwise used for pgds.

5a0e3ad6af include cleanup: Update gfp.h and slab.h includes to prepare for breaking implicit slab.h inclusion from percpu.h
percpu.h is included by sched.h and module.h and thus ends up being
included when building most .c files.  percpu.h includes slab.h which
in turn includes gfp.h making everything defined by the two files
universally available and complicating inclusion dependencies.

percpu.h -> slab.h dependency is about to be removed.  Prepare for
this change by updating users of gfp and slab facilities include those
headers directly instead of assuming availability.  As this conversion
needs to touch large number of source files, the following script is
used as the basis of conversion.

  http://userweb.kernel.org/~tj/misc/slabh-sweep.py

The script does the followings.

* Scan files for gfp and slab usages and update includes such that
  only the necessary includes are there.  ie. if only gfp is used,
  gfp.h, if slab is used, slab.h.

* When the script inserts a new include, it looks at the include
  blocks and try to put the new include such that its order conforms
  to its surrounding.  It's put in the include block which contains
  core kernel includes, in the same order that the rest are ordered -
  alphabetical, Christmas tree, rev-Xmas-tree or at the end if there
  doesn't seem to be any matching order.

* If the script can't find a place to put a new include (mostly
  because the file doesn't have fitting include block), it prints out
  an error message indicating which .h file needs to be added to the
  file.

The conversion was done in the following steps.

1. The initial automatic conversion of all .c files updated slightly
   over 4000 files, deleting around 700 includes and adding ~480 gfp.h
   and ~3000 slab.h inclusions.  The script emitted errors for ~400
   files.

2. Each error was manually checked.  Some didn't need the inclusion,
   some needed manual addition while adding it to implementation .h or
   embedding .c file was more appropriate for others.  This step added
   inclusions to around 150 files.

3. The script was run again and the output was compared to the edits
   from #2 to make sure no file was left behind.

4. Several build tests were done and a couple of problems were fixed.
   e.g. lib/decompress_*.c used malloc/free() wrappers around slab
   APIs requiring slab.h to be added manually.

5. The script was run on all .h files but without automatically
   editing them as sprinkling gfp.h and slab.h inclusions around .h
   files could easily lead to inclusion dependency hell.  Most gfp.h
   inclusion directives were ignored as stuff from gfp.h was usually
   wildly available and often used in preprocessor macros.  Each
   slab.h inclusion directive was examined and added manually as
   necessary.

6. percpu.h was updated not to include slab.h.

7. Build test were done on the following configurations and failures
   were fixed.  CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL was turned off for all tests (as my
   distributed build env didn't work with gcov compiles) and a few
   more options had to be turned off depending on archs to make things
   build (like ipr on powerpc/64 which failed due to missing writeq).

   * x86 and x86_64 UP and SMP allmodconfig and a custom test config.
   * powerpc and powerpc64 SMP allmodconfig
   * sparc and sparc64 SMP allmodconfig
   * ia64 SMP allmodconfig
   * s390 SMP allmodconfig
   * alpha SMP allmodconfig
   * um on x86_64 SMP allmodconfig

8. percpu.h modifications were reverted so that it could be applied as
   a separate patch and serve as bisection point.

Given the fact that I had only a couple of failures from tests on step
6, I'm fairly confident about the coverage of this conversion patch.
If there is a breakage, it's likely to be something in one of the arch
headers which should be easily discoverable easily on most builds of
the specific arch.

1431559200 x86, mm: Allow highmem user page tables to be disabled at boot time
Distros generally (I looked at Debian, RHEL5 and SLES11) seem to
enable CONFIG_HIGHPTE for any x86 configuration which has highmem
enabled. This means that the overhead applies even to machines which
have a fairly modest amount of high memory and which therefore do not
really benefit from allocating PTEs in high memory but still pay the
price of the additional mapping operations.

Running kernbench on a 4G box I found that with CONFIG_HIGHPTE=y but
no actual highptes being allocated there was a reduction in system
time used from 59.737s to 55.9s.

With CONFIG_HIGHPTE=y and highmem PTEs being allocated:
  Average Optimal load -j 4 Run (std deviation):
  Elapsed Time 175.396 (0.238914)
  User Time 515.983 (5.85019)
  System Time 59.737 (1.26727)
  Percent CPU 263.8 (71.6796)
  Context Switches 39989.7 (4672.64)
  Sleeps 42617.7 (246.307)

With CONFIG_HIGHPTE=y but with no highmem PTEs being allocated:
  Average Optimal load -j 4 Run (std deviation):
  Elapsed Time 174.278 (0.831968)
  User Time 515.659 (6.07012)
  System Time 55.9 (1.07799)
  Percent CPU 263.8 (71.266)
  Context Switches 39929.6 (4485.13)
  Sleeps 42583.7 (373.039)

This patch allows the user to control the allocation of PTEs in
highmem from the command line ("userpte=nohigh") but retains the
status-quo as the default.

It is possible that some simple heuristic could be developed which
allows auto-tuning of this option however I don't have a sufficiently
large machine available to me to perform any particularly meaningful
experiments. We could probably handwave up an argument for a threshold
at 16G of total RAM.

Assuming 768M of lowmem we have 196608 potential lowmem PTE
pages. Each page can map 2M of RAM in a PAE-enabled configuration,
meaning a maximum of 384G of RAM could potentially be mapped using
lowmem PTEs.

Even allowing generous factor of 10 to account for other required
lowmem allocations, generous slop to account for page sharing (which
reduces the total amount of RAM mappable by a given number of PT
pages) and other innacuracies in the estimations it would seem that
even a 32G machine would not have a particularly pressing need for
highmem PTEs. I think 32G could be considered to be at the upper bound
of what might be sensible on a 32 bit machine (although I think in
practice 64G is still supported).

It's seems questionable if HIGHPTE is even a win for any amount of RAM
you would sensibly run a 32 bit kernel on rather than going 64 bit.

6abf655109 x86, 32-bit: Fix double accounting in reserve_top_address()
With VMALLOC_END included in the calculation of MAXMEM (as of
2.6.28) it is no longer correct to also bump __VMALLOC_RESERVE
in reserve_top_address(). Doing so results in needlessly small
lowmem.

9e1b32caa5 mm: Pass virtual address to [__]p{te,ud,md}_free_tlb()
mm: Pass virtual address to [__]p{te,ud,md}_free_tlb()

Upcoming paches to support the new 64-bit "BookE" powerpc architecture
will need to have the virtual address corresponding to PTE page when
freeing it, due to the way the HW table walker works.

Basically, the TLB can be loaded with "large" pages that cover the whole
virtual space (well, sort-of, half of it actually) represented by a PTE
page, and which contain an "indirect" bit indicating that this TLB entry
RPN points to an array of PTEs from which the TLB can then create direct
entries. Thus, in order to invalidate those when PTE pages are deleted,
we need the virtual address to pass to tlbilx or tlbivax instructions.

The old trick of sticking it somewhere in the PTE page struct page sucks
too much, the address is almost readily available in all call sites and
almost everybody implemets these as macros, so we may as well add the
argument everywhere. I added it to the pmd and pud variants for consistency.

cf3e505012 x86: work around gcc 3.4.x bug
Simon Horman reported that gcc-3.4.x crashes when compiling
pgd_prepopulate_pmd() when PREALLOCATED_PMDS == 0 and CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO
is enabled.

Adding an extra check for PREALLOCATED_PMDS == 0 [which is compiled out
by gcc] seems to avoid the problem.

d8d5900ef8 x86: preallocate and prepopulate separately
Jan Beulich points out that vmalloc_sync_all() assumes that the
kernel's pmd is always expected to be present in the pgd.  The current
pgd construction code will add the pgd to the pgd_list before its pmds
have been pre-populated, thereby making it visible to
vmalloc_sync_all().

However, because pgd_prepopulate_pmd also does the allocation, it may
block and cannot be done under spinlock.

The solution is to preallocate the pmds out of the spinlock, then
populate them while holding the pgd_list lock.

This patch also pulls the pmd preallocation and mop-up functions out
to be common, assuming that the compiler will generate no code for
them when PREALLOCTED_PMDS is 0.  Also, there's no need for pgd_ctor
to clear the pgd again, since it's allocated as a zeroed page.

68db065c84 x86: unify KERNEL_PGD_PTRS
Make KERNEL_PGD_PTRS common, as previously it was only being defined
for 32-bit.

There are a couple of follow-on changes from this:
 - KERNEL_PGD_PTRS was being defined in terms of USER_PGD_PTRS.  The
   definition of USER_PGD_PTRS doesn't really make much sense on x86-64,
   since it can have two different user address-space configurations.
   I renamed USER_PGD_PTRS to KERNEL_PGD_BOUNDARY, which is meaningful
   for all of 32/32, 32/64 and 64/64 process configurations.

 - USER_PTRS_PER_PGD was also defined and was being used for similar
   purposes.  Converting its users to KERNEL_PGD_BOUNDARY left it
   completely unused, and so I removed it.
