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.

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.

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.

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%

Testing show different CPU type(micro architectures and NUMA mode) has
different balance points between the TLB flush all and multiple invlpg.
And there also has cases the tlb flush change has no any help.
This patch give a interface to let x86 vendor developers have a chance
to set different shift for different CPU type.
like some machine in my hands, balance points is 16 entries on
Romely-EP; while it is at 8 entries on Bloomfield NHM-EP; and is 256 on
IVB mobile CPU. but on model 15 core2 Xeon using invlpg has nothing
help.
For untested machine, do a conservative optimization, same as NHM CPU.

We don't need to flush large pages by PAGE_SIZE step, that just waste
time. and actually, large page don't need 'invlpg' optimizing according
to our micro benchmark. So, just flush whole TLB is enough for them.

with THP 'always' setting.

x86 has no flush_tlb_range support in instruction level. Currently the
flush_tlb_range just implemented by flushing all page table. That is not
the best solution for all scenarios. In fact, if we just use 'invlpg' to
flush few lines from TLB, we can get the performance gain from later
remain TLB lines accessing.
But the 'invlpg' instruction costs much of time. Its execution time can
compete with cr3 rewriting, and even a bit more on SNB CPU.
So, on a 512 4KB TLB entries CPU, the balance points is at:
(512 - X) * 100ns(assumed TLB refill cost) =
X(TLB flush entries) * 100ns(assumed invlpg cost)
Here, X is 256, that is 1/2 of 512 entries.
But with the mysterious CPU pre-fetcher and page miss handler Unit, the
assumed TLB refill cost is far lower then 100ns in sequential access. And
2 HT siblings in one core makes the memory access more faster if they are
accessing the same memory. So, in the patch, I just do the change when
the target entries is less than 1/16 of whole active tlb entries.
Actually, I have no data support for the percentage '1/16', so any
suggestions are welcomed.
As to hugetlb, guess due to smaller page table, and smaller active TLB
entries, I didn't see benefit via my benchmark, so no optimizing now.
My micro benchmark show in ideal scenarios, the performance improves 70
percent in reading. And in worst scenario, the reading/writing
performance is similar with unpatched 3.4-rc4 kernel.
Here is the reading data on my 2P * 4cores *HT NHM EP machine, with THP
'always':

pre-allocation early page table space

git bisect commit 722bc6b16771ed80871e1fd81c86d3627dda2ac8.
A git revert of that commit does boot past that point on the 8TB
configuration.
That commit will add up extra pages for all memory range even
above 4g.
Try to limit that extra page count adding to first entry only.

The reason is that the bit of node 2 was not set at
numa_nodes_parsed. numa_nodes_parsed is set by only
acpi_numa_processor_affinity_init /
acpi_numa_x2apic_affinity_init. Thus even if hot-added memory
which is same PXM as hot-added CPU is written in ACPI SRAT
Table, if the hot-added CPU is not written in ACPI SRAT table,
numa_nodes_parsed is not set.
But according to ACPI Spec Rev 5.0, it says about ACPI SRAT
table as follows: This optional table provides information that
allows OSPM to associate processors and memory ranges, including
ranges of memory provided by hot-added memory devices, with
system localities / proximity domains and clock domains.
It means that ACPI SRAT table only provides information for CPUs
present at boot time and for memory including hot-added memory.
So hot-added memory is written in ACPI SRAT table, but hot-added
CPU is not written in it. Thus numa_nodes_parsed should be set
by not only acpi_numa_processor_affinity_init /
acpi_numa_x2apic_affinity_init but also
acpi_numa_memory_affinity_init for the case.
Additionally, if system has cpuless memory node,
acpi_numa_processor_affinity_init /
acpi_numa_x2apic_affinity_init cannot set numa_nodes_parseds
since these functions cannot find cpu description for the node.
In this case, numa_nodes_parsed needs to be set by
acpi_numa_memory_affinity_init.

Other than ix86, x86-64 on EFI so far didn't set the
{g,s}et_wallclock accessors to the EFI routines, thus
incorrectly using raw RTC accesses instead.
Simply removing the #ifdef around the respective code isn't
enough, however: While so far early get-time calls were done in
physical mode, this doesn't work properly for x86-64, as virtual
addresses would still need to be set up for all runtime regions
(which wasn't the case on the system I have access to), so
instead the patch moves the call to efi_enter_virtual_mode()
ahead (which in turn allows to drop all code related to calling
efi-get-time in physical mode).
Additionally the earlier calling of efi_set_executable()
requires the CPA code to cope, i.e. during early boot it must be
avoided to call cpa_flush_array(), as the first thing this
function does is a BUG_ON(irqs_disabled()).
Also make the two EFI functions in question here static -
they're not being referenced elsewhere.

Function pat_pagerange_is_ram() scales poorly to large address
ranges, because it probes the resource tree for each page.
On a 2.6 GHz Opteron, this function consumes 34 ms for a 1 GB range.
It is called twice during untrack_pfn_vma(), slowing process
cleanup and handicapping the OOM killer.
This replacement consumes less than 1ms, under the same conditions.

code that has not been converted to be user namespace safe.
- Use of the new kuid_t type ensures the if you somehow get past the
config guards the kernel will encounter type errors if you enable
user namespaces and attempt to compile in code whose permission
checks have not been updated to be user namespace safe.
- All uids from child user namespaces are mapped into the initial
user namespace before they are processed. Removing the need to add
an additional check to see if the user namespace of the compared
uids remains the same.
- With the user namespaces compiled out the performance is as good or
better than it is today.
- For most operations absolutely nothing changes performance or
operationally with the user namespace enabled.
- The worst case performance I could come up with was timing 1
billion cache cold stat operations with the user namespace code
enabled. This went from 156s to 164s on my laptop (or 156ns to
164ns per stat operation).
- (uid_t)-1 and (gid_t)-1 are reserved as an internal error value.
Most uid/gid setting system calls treat these value specially
anyway so attempting to use -1 as a uid would likely cause
entertaining failures in userspace.
- If setuid is called with a uid that can not be mapped setuid fails.
I have looked at sendmail, login, ssh and every other program I
could think of that would call setuid and they all check for and
handle the case where setuid fails.
- If stat or a similar system call is called from a context in which
we can not map a uid we lie and return overflowuid. The LFS
experience suggests not lying and returning an error code might be
better, but the historical precedent with uids is different and I
can not think of anything that would break by lying about a uid we
can't map.
- Capabilities are localized to the current user namespace making it
safe to give the initial user in a user namespace all capabilities.
My git tree covers all of the modifications needed to convert the core
kernel and enough changes to make a system bootable to runlevel 1."

Pull exception table generation updates from Ingo Molnar:
"The biggest change here is to allow the build-time sorting of the
exception table, to speed up booting. This is achieved by the
architecture enabling BUILDTIME_EXTABLE_SORT. This option is enabled
for x86 and MIPS currently.
On x86 a number of fixes and changes were needed to allow build-time
sorting of the exception table, in particular a relocation invariant
exception table format was needed. This required the abstracting out
of exception table protocol and the removal of 20 years of accumulated
assumptions about the x86 exception table format.
While at it, this tree also cleans up various other aspects of
exception handling, such as early(er) exception handling for
rdmsr_safe() et al.
All in one, as the result of these changes the x86 exception code is
now pretty nice and modern. As an added bonus any regressions in this
code will be early and violent crashes, so if you see any of those,
you'll know whom to blame!"

When finding a present and acceptable 2M/1G mapping, the number
of pages mapped this way shouldn't be incremented (as it was
already incremented when the earlier part of the mapping was
established). Instead, last_map_addr needs to be updated in this
case.
Further, address increments were wrong in one place each in both
phys_pmd_init() and phys_pud_init() (lacking the aligning down
to the respective page boundary).
As we're now doing the same calculation several times, fold it
into a single instance using a local variable (matching how
kernel_physical_mapping_init() itself does it at the PGD level).
Observed during code inspection, not because of an actual
problem.

Switch to using relative exception table entries on x86. On i386,
this has the advantage that the exception table entries don't need to
be relocated; on x86-64 this means the exception table entries take up
only half the space.
In either case, a 32-bit delta is sufficient, as the range of kernel
code addresses is limited.
Since part of the goal is to avoid needing to adjust the entries when
the kernel is relocated, the old trick of using addresses in the NULL
pointer range to indicate uaccess_err no longer works (and unlike RISC
architectures we can't use a flag bit); instead use an delta just
below +2G to indicate these special entries. The reach is still
limited to a single instruction.

Add a restricted version of fixup_exception() to be used during early

since we may not have a thread_info set up yet.

"The biggest textual change is the cleanup to use symbolic constants
for x86 trap values.
The only *functional* change and the reason for the x86/x32 dependency
is the move of is_ia32_task() into <asm/thread_info.h> so that it can
be used in other code that needs to understand if a system call comes
from the compat entry point (and therefore uses i386 system call
numbers) or not. One intended user for that is the BPF system call
filter. Moving it out of <asm/compat.h> means we can define it
unconditionally, returning always true on i386."

Pull "Disintegrate and delete asm/system.h" from David Howells:
"Here are a bunch of patches to disintegrate asm/system.h into a set of
separate bits to relieve the problem of circular inclusion
dependencies.
I've built all the working defconfigs from all the arches that I can
and made sure that they don't break.
The reason for these patches is that I recently encountered a circular
dependency problem that came about when I produced some patches to
optimise get_order() by rewriting it to use ilog2().
This uses bitops - and on the SH arch asm/bitops.h drags in
asm-generic/get_order.h by a circuituous route involving asm/system.h.
The main difficulty seems to be asm/system.h. It holds a number of
low level bits with no/few dependencies that are commonly used (eg.
memory barriers) and a number of bits with more dependencies that
aren't used in many places (eg. switch_to()).
These patches break asm/system.h up into the following core pieces:
(1) asm/barrier.h
Move memory barriers here. This already done for MIPS and Alpha.
(2) asm/switch_to.h
Move switch_to() and related stuff here.
(3) asm/exec.h
Move arch_align_stack() here. Other process execution related bits
could perhaps go here from asm/processor.h.
(4) asm/cmpxchg.h
Move xchg() and cmpxchg() here as they're full word atomic ops and
frequently used by atomic_xchg() and atomic_cmpxchg().
(5) asm/bug.h
Move die() and related bits.
(6) asm/auxvec.h
Move AT_VECTOR_SIZE_ARCH here.
Other arch headers are created as needed on a per-arch basis."
Fixed up some conflicts from other header file cleanups and moving code
around that has happened in the meantime, so David's testing is somewhat
weakened by that. We'll find out anything that got broken and fix it..

Pull <linux/bug.h> cleanup from Paul Gortmaker:
"The changes shown here are to unify linux's BUG support under the one
<linux/bug.h> file. Due to historical reasons, we have some BUG code
in bug.h and some in kernel.h -- i.e. the support for BUILD_BUG in
linux/kernel.h predates the addition of linux/bug.h, but old code in
kernel.h wasn't moved to bug.h at that time. As a band-aid, kernel.h
was including <asm/bug.h> to pseudo link them.
This has caused confusion[1] and general yuck/WTF[2] reactions. Here
is an example that violates the principle of least surprise:
CC lib/string.o
lib/string.c: In function 'strlcat':
lib/string.c:225:2: error: implicit declaration of function 'BUILD_BUG_ON'
make[2]: *** [lib/string.o] Error 1

#include <linux/bug.h>
$
We've included <linux/bug.h> for the BUG infrastructure and yet we
still get a compile fail! [We've not kernel.h for BUILD_BUG_ON.] Ugh -
very confusing for someone who is new to kernel development.
With the above in mind, the goals of this changeset are:
1) find and fix any include/*.h files that were relying on the
implicit presence of BUG code.
2) find and fix any C files that were consuming kernel.h and hence
relying on implicitly getting some/all BUG code.
3) Move the BUG related code living in kernel.h to <linux/bug.h>
4) remove the asm/bug.h from kernel.h to finally break the chain.
During development, the order was more like 3-4, build-test, 1-2. But
to ensure that git history for bisect doesn't get needless build
failures introduced, the commits have been reorderd to fix the problem

As suggested by Suresh Siddha and Yinghai Lu:
For x2apic pre-enabled systems, apic driver is set already early
through early_acpi_boot_init()/early_acpi_process_madt()/
acpi_parse_madt()/default_acpi_madt_oem_check() path so that
apic_id_valid() checking will be sufficient during MADT and SRAT
parsing.
For non-x2apic pre-enabled systems, all apic ids should be less
than 255.
This allows us to substitute the checks in
arch/x86/kernel/acpi/boot.c::acpi_parse_x2apic() and
arch/x86/mm/srat.c::acpi_numa_x2apic_affinity_init() with
apic->apic_id_valid().
In addition we can avoid feigning the x2apic cpu feature in the
NumaChip apic code.
The following apic drivers have separate apic_id_valid()
functions which will accept x2apic type IDs :
x2apic_phys
x2apic_cluster
x2apic_uv_x
apic_numachip

Currently leave_mm() unconditionally switches the cr3 to swapper_pg_dir.
But there is no need to change the cr3, if we already left that mm.
intel_idle() for example calls leave_mm() on every deep c-state entry where
the CPU flushes the TLB for us. Similarly flush_tlb_all() was also calling
leave_mm() whenever the TLB is in LAZY state. Both these paths will be
improved with this change.

trap_nr. However thread struct refers trap number as trap_no.
Change it to trap_nr.
Also use enum instead of left-over literals for trap values.
This is pure cleanup, no functional change intended.

It turns out that test-compiling this file on x86-64 doesn't really
help, because much of it is x86-32-specific. And so I hadn't noticed
the slightly over-eager removal of the 'r' from 'addr' variable despite
thinking I had tested it.

Several users of "find_vma_prev()" were not in fact interested in the
previous vma if there was no primary vma to be found either. And in
those cases, we're much better off just using the regular "find_vma()",
and then "prev" can be looked up by just checking vma->vm_prev.
The find_vma_prev() semantics are fairly subtle (see Mikulas' recent
commit 83cd904d271b: "mm: fix find_vma_prev"), and the whole "return
prev by reference" means that it generates worse code too.
Thus this "let's avoid using this inconvenient and clearly too subtle
interface when we don't really have to" patch.

For machines that enable PSE, the first 2/4M memory region still uses
4K pages, so needs more PTEs in this case, but
find_early_table_space() doesn't count this.
This patch fixes it.
The bug was found via code review, no misbehavior of the kernel
was observed.

mem_hole_size() is being called only from __init-marked functions, and as
such should be moved to .init section as well. Fixes this warning:
WARNING: vmlinux.o(.text+0x35511): Section mismatch in reference from the function mem_hole_size() to the function .init.text:absent_pages_in_range()

With bug.h currently living right in linux/kernel.h there
are files that use BUG_ON and friends but are not including
the header explicitly. Fix them up so we can remove the
presence in kernel.h file.

rsyslog will display KERN_EMERG messages on a connected
terminal. However, these messages are useless/undecipherable
for a general user.
For example, after a softlockup we get:
Message from syslogd@intel-s3e37-04 at Jan 25 14:18:06 ...
kernel:Stack:
Message from syslogd@intel-s3e37-04 at Jan 25 14:18:06 ...
kernel:Call Trace:
Message from syslogd@intel-s3e37-04 at Jan 25 14:18:06 ...
kernel:Code: ff ff a8 08 75 25 31 d2 48 8d 86 38 e0 ff ff 48 89
d1 0f 01 c8 0f ae f0 48 8b 86 38 e0 ff ff a8 08 75 08 b1 01 4c 89 e0 0f 01 c9 <e8> ea 69 dd ff 4c 29 e8 48 89 c7 e8 0f bc da ff 49 89 c4 49 89
This happens because the printk levels for these messages are
incorrect. Only an informational message should be displayed on
a terminal.
I modified the printk levels for various messages in the kernel
and tested the output by using the drivers/misc/lkdtm.c kernel
modules (ie, softlockups, panics, hard lockups, etc.) and
confirmed that the console output was still the same and that
the output to the terminals was correct.
For example, in the case of a softlockup we now see the much
more informative:
Message from syslogd@intel-s3e37-04 at Jan 25 10:18:06 ...
BUG: soft lockup - CPU4 stuck for 60s!
instead of the above confusing messages.
AFAICT, the messages no longer have to be KERN_EMERG. In the
most important case of a panic we set console_verbose(). As for
the other less severe cases the correct data is output to the
console and /var/log/messages.
Successfully tested by me using the drivers/misc/lkdtm.c module.
