2011-01-13mm: unify module_alloc code for vmallocDavid Rientjes
Four architectures (arm, mips, sparc, x86) use __vmalloc_area() for module_init(). Much of the code is duplicated and can be generalized in a globally accessible function, __vmalloc_node_range(). __vmalloc_node() now calls into __vmalloc_node_range() with a range of [VMALLOC_START, VMALLOC_END) for functionally equivalent behavior. Each architecture may then use __vmalloc_node_range() directly to remove the duplication of code.

2011-01-12ACPI, APEI, Generic Hardware Error Source POLL/IRQ/NMI notification type supportHuang Ying
Generic Hardware Error Source provides a way to report platform hardware errors (such as that from chipset). It works in so called "Firmware First" mode, that is, hardware errors are reported to firmware firstly, then reported to Linux by firmware. This way, some non-standard hardware error registers or non-standard hardware link can be checked by firmware to produce more valuable hardware error information for Linux. This patch adds POLL/IRQ/NMI notification types support. Because the memory area used to transfer hardware error information from BIOS to Linux can be determined only in NMI, IRQ or timer handler, but general ioremap can not be used in atomic context, so a special version of atomic ioremap is implemented for that. Known issue: - Error information can not be printed for recoverable errors notified via NMI, because printk is not NMI-safe. Will fix this via delay printing to IRQ context via irq_work or make printk NMI-safe. v2: - adjust printk format per comments.

2010-12-02vmalloc: eagerly clear ptes on vunmapJeremy Fitzhardinge
On stock 2.6.37-rc4, running: # mount lilith:/export /mnt/lilith # find /mnt/lilith/ -type f -print0 | xargs -0 file crashes the machine fairly quickly under Xen. Often it results in oops messages, but the couple of times I tried just now, it just hung quietly and made Xen print some rude messages: (XEN) mm.c:2389:d80 Bad type (saw 7400000000000001 != exp 3000000000000000) for mfn 1d7058 (pfn 18fa7) (XEN) mm.c:964:d80 Attempt to create linear p.t. with write perms (XEN) mm.c:2389:d80 Bad type (saw 7400000000000010 != exp 1000000000000000) for mfn 1d2e04 (pfn 1d1fb) (XEN) mm.c:2965:d80 Error while pinning mfn 1d2e04 Which means the domain tried to map a pagetable page RW, which would allow it to map arbitrary memory, so Xen stopped it. This is because vm_unmap_ram() left some pages mapped in the vmalloc area after NFS had finished with them, and those pages got recycled as pagetable pages while still having these RW aliases. Removing those mappings immediately removes the Xen-visible aliases, and so it has no problem with those pages being reused as pagetable pages. Deferring the TLB flush doesn't upset Xen because it can flush the TLB itself as needed to maintain its invariants. When unmapping a region in the vmalloc space, clear the ptes immediately. There's no point in deferring this because there's no amortization benefit. The TLBs are left dirty, and they are flushed lazily to amortize the cost of the IPIs. This specific motivation for this patch is an oops-causing regression since 2.6.36 when using NFS under Xen, triggered by the NFS client's use of vm_map_ram() introduced in 56e4ebf877b60 ("NFS: readdir with vmapped pages") . XFS also uses vm_map_ram() and could cause similar problems.

2010-09-17mm, x86: Saving vmcore with non-lazy freeing of vmasCliff Wickman
During the reading of /proc/vmcore the kernel is doing ioremap()/iounmap() repeatedly. And the buildup of un-flushed vm_area_struct's is causing a great deal of overhead. (rb_next() is chewing up most of that time). This solution is to provide function set_iounmap_nonlazy(). It causes a subsequent call to iounmap() to immediately purge the vma area (with try_purge_vmap_area_lazy()). With this patch we have seen the time for writing a 250MB compressed dump drop from 71 seconds to 44 seconds.

2010-07-09x86, ioremap: Fix incorrect physical address handling in PAE modeKenji Kaneshige
Current x86 ioremap() doesn't handle physical address higher than 32-bit properly in X86_32 PAE mode. When physical address higher than 32-bit is passed to ioremap(), higher 32-bits in physical address is cleared wrongly. Due to this bug, ioremap() can map wrong address to linear address space. In my case, 64-bit MMIO region was assigned to a PCI device (ioat device) on my system. Because of the ioremap()'s bug, wrong physical address (instead of MMIO region) was mapped to linear address space. Because of this, loading ioatdma driver caused unexpected behavior (kernel panic, kernel hangup, ...).

2010-02-02mm: purge fragmented percpu vmap blocksNick Piggin
Improve handling of fragmented per-CPU vmaps. We previously don't free up per-CPU maps until all its addresses have been used and freed. So fragmented blocks could fill up vmalloc space even if they actually had no active vmap regions within them. Add some logic to allow all CPUs to have these blocks purged in the case of failure to allocate a new vm area, and also put some logic to trim such blocks of a current CPU if we hit them in the allocation path (so as to avoid a large build up of them). Christoph reported some vmap allocation failures when using the per CPU vmap APIs in XFS, which cannot be reproduced after this patch and the previous bug fix.

2010-02-02mm: percpu-vmap fix RCU list walkingNick Piggin
RCU list walking of the per-cpu vmap cache was broken. It did not use RCU primitives, and also the union of free_list and rcu_head is obviously wrong (because free_list is indeed the list we are RCU walking). While we are there, remove a couple of unused fields from an earlier iteration. These APIs aren't actually used anywhere, because of problems with the XFS conversion. Christoph has now verified that the problems are solved with these patches. Also it is an exported interface, so I think it will be good to be merged now (and Christoph wants to get the XFS changes into their local tree).

2010-01-21vmalloc: remove BUG_ON due to racy counting of VM_LAZY_FREEYongseok Koh
In free_unmap_area_noflush(), va->flags is marked as VM_LAZY_FREE first, and then vmap_lazy_nr is increased atomically. But, in __purge_vmap_area_lazy(), while traversing of vmap_are_list, nr is counted by checking VM_LAZY_FREE is set to va->flags. After counting the variable nr, kernel reads vmap_lazy_nr atomically and checks a BUG_ON condition whether nr is greater than vmap_lazy_nr to prevent vmap_lazy_nr from being negative. The problem is that, if interrupted right after marking VM_LAZY_FREE, increment of vmap_lazy_nr can be delayed. Consequently, BUG_ON condition can be met because nr is counted more than vmap_lazy_nr. It is highly probable when vmalloc/vfree are called frequently. This scenario have been verified by adding delay between marking VM_LAZY_FREE and increasing vmap_lazy_nr in free_unmap_area_noflush(). Even the vmap_lazy_nr is for checking high watermark, it never be the strict watermark. Although the BUG_ON condition is to prevent vmap_lazy_nr from being negative, vmap_lazy_nr is signed variable. So, it could go down to negative value temporarily. Consequently, removing the BUG_ON condition is proper. A possible BUG_ON message is like the below. kernel BUG at mm/vmalloc.c:517! invalid opcode: 0000 [#1] SMP EIP: 0060:[<c04824a4>] EFLAGS: 00010297 CPU: 3 EIP is at __purge_vmap_area_lazy+0x144/0x150 EAX: ee8a8818 EBX: c08e77d4 ECX: e7c7ae40 EDX: c08e77ec ESI: 000081fe EDI: e7c7ae60 EBP: e7c7ae64 ESP: e7c7ae3c DS: 007b ES: 007b FS: 00d8 GS: 0033 SS: 0068 Call Trace: [<c0482ad9>] free_unmap_vmap_area_noflush+0x69/0x70 [<c0482b02>] remove_vm_area+0x22/0x70 [<c0482c15>] __vunmap+0x45/0xe0 [<c04831ec>] vmalloc+0x2c/0x30 Code: 8d 59 e0 eb 04 66 90 89 cb 89 d0 e8 87 fe ff ff 8b 43 20 89 da 8d 48 e0 8d 43 20 3b 04 24 75 e7 fe 05 a8 a5 a3 c0 e9 78 ff ff ff <0f> 0b eb fe 90 8d b4 26 00 00 00 00 56 89 c6 b8 ac a5 a3 c0 31 EIP: [<c04824a4>] __purge_vmap_area_lazy+0x144/0x150 SS:ESP 0068:e7c7ae3c [ See also http://marc.info/?l=linux-kernel&m=126335856228090&w=2 ] Signed-off-by: Yongseok Koh <yongseok.koh@samsung.com> Reviewed-by: Minchan Kim <minchan.kim@gmail.com> Cc: Nick Piggin <npiggin@suse.de> Cc: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

2009-10-08mm, perf_event: Make vmalloc_user() align base kernel virtual address to SHMLBADavid Miller
When a vmalloc'd area is mmap'd into userspace, some kind of co-ordination is necessary for this to work on platforms with cpu D-caches which can have aliases. Otherwise kernel side writes won't be seen properly in userspace and vice versa. If the kernel side mapping and the user side one have the same alignment, modulo SHMLBA, this can work as long as VM_SHARED is shared of VMA and for all current users this is true. VM_SHARED will force SHMLBA alignment of the user side mmap on platforms with D-cache aliasing matters. The bulk of this patch is just making it so that a specific alignment can be passed down into __get_vm_area_node(). All existing callers pass in '1' which preserves existing behavior. vmalloc_user() gives SHMLBA for the alignment. As a side effect this should get the video media drivers and other vmalloc_user() users into more working shape on such systems. Signed-off-by: David S.

2009-09-22kcore: fix vread/vwrite to be aware of holesKAMEZAWA Hiroyuki
vread/vwrite access vmalloc area without checking there is a page or not. In most case, this works well. In old ages, the caller of get_vm_ara() is only IOREMAP and there is no memory hole within vm_struct's [addr...addr + size - PAGE_SIZE] ( -PAGE_SIZE is for a guard page.) After per-cpu-alloc patch, it uses get_vm_area() for reserve continuous virtual address but remap _later_. There tend to be a hole in valid vmalloc area in vm_struct lists. Then, skip the hole (not mapped page) is necessary. This patch updates vread/vwrite() for avoiding memory hole. Routines which access vmalloc area without knowing for which addr is used are - /proc/kcore - /dev/kmem kcore checks IOREMAP, /dev/kmem doesn't. After this patch, IOREMAP is checked and /dev/kmem will avoid to read/write it. Fixes to /proc/kcore will be in the next patch in series.

vmap area should be purged after vm_struct is removed from the list because vread/vwrite etc...believes the range is valid while it's on vm_struct list.

2009-08-14vmalloc: implement pcpu_get_vm_areas()Tejun Heo
To directly use spread NUMA memories for percpu units, percpu allocator will be updated to allow sparsely mapping units in a chunk. As the distances between units can be very large, this makes allocating single vmap area for each chunk undesirable. This patch implements pcpu_get_vm_areas() and pcpu_free_vm_areas() which allocates and frees sparse congruent vmap areas. pcpu_get_vm_areas() take @offsets and @sizes array which define distances and sizes of vmap areas. It scans down from the top of vmalloc area looking for the top-most address which can accomodate all the areas. The top-down scan is to avoid interacting with regular vmallocs which can push up these congruent areas up little by little ending up wasting address space and page table. To speed up top-down scan, the highest possible address hint is maintained. Although the scan is linear from the hint, given the usual large holes between memory addresses between NUMA nodes, the scanning is highly likely to finish after finding the first hole for the last unit which is scanned first.

2009-08-14vmalloc: separate out insert_vmalloc_vm()Tejun Heo
Separate out insert_vmalloc_vm() from __get_vm_area_node(). insert_vmalloc_vm() initializes vm_struct from vmap_area and inserts it into vmlist. insert_vmalloc_vm() only initializes fields which can be determined from @vm, @flags and @caller The rest should be initialized by the caller. For __get_vm_area_node(), all other fields just need to be cleared and this is done by using kzalloc instead of kmalloc. This will be used to implement pcpu_get_vm_areas().
