Merge misc VM changes from Andrew Morton:
"The rest of most-of-MM. The other MM bits await a slab merge.
This patch includes the addition of a huge zero_page. Not a
performance boost but it an save large amounts of physical memory in
some situations.
Also a bunch of Fujitsu engineers are working on memory hotplug.
Which, as it turns out, was badly broken. About half of their patches
are included here; the remainder are 3.8 material."
However, this merge disables CONFIG_MOVABLE_NODE, which was totally
broken. We don't add new features with "default y", nor do we add
Kconfig questions that are incomprehensible to most people without any
help text. Does the feature even make sense without compaction or
memory hotplug?

out_of_memory() is a globally defined function to call the oom killer.
x86, sh, and powerpc all use a function of the same name within file scope
in their respective fault.c unnecessarily. Inline the functions into the
pagefault handlers to clean the code up.

Create a new subsystem that probes on kernel boundaries
to keep track of the transitions between level contexts
with two basic initial contexts: user or kernel.
This is an abstraction of some RCU code that use such tracking
to implement its userspace extended quiescent state.
We need to pull this up from RCU into this new level of indirection
because this tracking is also going to be used to implement an "on
demand" generic virtual cputime accounting. A necessary step to
shutdown the tick while still accounting the cputime.

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.
History:
This commit was originally merged as bacef661acdb ("x86-64/efi:
Use EFI to deal with platform wall clock") but it resulted in some
ASUS machines no longer booting due to a firmware bug, and so was
reverted in f026cfa82f62. A pre-emptive fix for the buggy ASUS
firmware was merged in 03a1c254975e ("x86, efi: 1:1 pagetable
mapping for virtual EFI calls") so now this patch can be
reapplied.

There are various pieces of code in arch/x86 that require a page table
with an identity mapping. Make trampoline_pgd a proper kernel page
table, it currently only includes the kernel text and module space
mapping.
One new feature of trampoline_pgd is that it now has mappings for the
physical I/O device addresses, which are inserted at ioremap()
time. Some broken implementations of EFI firmware require these
mappings to always be around.

Current logic finds enough space for direct mapping page tables from 0
to end. Instead, we only need to find enough space to cover mr[0].start
to mr[nr_range].end -- the range that is actually being mapped by
init_memory_mapping()
This is needed after 1bbbbe779aabe1f0768c2bf8f8c0a5583679b54a, to address

Commit 20167d3421a089a1bf1bd680b150dc69c9506810 ("x86-64: Fix
accounting in kernel_physical_mapping_init()") went a little too
far by entirely removing the counting of pre-populated page
tables: this should be done at boot time (to cover the page
tables set up in early boot code), but shouldn't be done during
memory hot add.
Hence, re-add the removed increments of "pages", but make them
and the one in phys_pte_init() conditional upon !after_bootmem.

Commit:
722bc6b16771 x86/mm: Fix the size calculation of mapping tables
Tried to address the issue that the first 2/4M should use 4k pages
if PSE enabled, but extra counts should only be valid for x86_32.
This commit caused a kdump regression: the kdump kernel hangs.
Work is in progress to fundamentally fix the various page table
initialization issues that we have, via the design suggested
by H. Peter Anvin, but it's not ready yet to be merged.
So, to get a working kdump revert to the last known working version,
which is the revert of this commit and of a followup fix (which was
incomplete):

.fault now can retry. The retry can break state machine of .fault. In
filemap_fault, if page is miss, ra->mmap_miss is increased. In the second
try, since the page is in page cache now, ra->mmap_miss is decreased. And
these are done in one fault, so we can't detect random mmap file access.
Add a new flag to indicate .fault is tried once. In the second try, skip
ra->mmap_miss decreasing. The filemap_fault state machine is ok with it.
I only tested x86, didn't test other archs, but looks the change for other
archs is obvious, but who knows :)

Implement an interval tree as a replacement for the VMA prio_tree. The
algorithms are similar to lib/interval_tree.c; however that code can't be
directly reused as the interval endpoints are not explicitly stored in the
VMA. So instead, the common algorithm is moved into a template and the
details (node type, how to get interval endpoints from the node, etc) are
filled in using the C preprocessor.
Once the interval tree functions are available, using them as a
replacement to the VMA prio tree is a relatively simple, mechanical job.

Replace the generic vma-flag VM_PFN_AT_MMAP with x86-only VM_PAT.
We can toss mapping address from remap_pfn_range() into
track_pfn_vma_new(), and collect all PAT-related logic together in
arch/x86/.
This patch also restores orignal frustration-free is_cow_mapping() check
in remap_pfn_range(), as it was before commit v2.6.28-rc8-88-g3c8bb73
("x86: PAT: store vm_pgoff for all linear_over_vma_region mappings - v3")
is_linear_pfn_mapping() checks can be removed from mm/huge_memory.c,
because it already handled by VM_PFNMAP in VM_NO_THP bit-mask.

vm_insert_pfn
With PAT enabled, vm_insert_pfn() looks up the existing pfn memory
attribute and uses it. Expectation is that the driver reserves the
memory attributes for the pfn before calling vm_insert_pfn().
remap_pfn_range() (when called for the whole vma) will setup a new
attribute (based on the prot argument) for the specified pfn range.
This addresses the legacy usage which typically calls remap_pfn_range()
with a desired memory attribute. For ranges smaller than the vma size
(which is typically not the case), remap_pfn_range() will use the
existing memory attribute for the pfn range.
Expose two different API's for these different behaviors.
track_pfn_insert() for tracking the pfn attribute set by vm_insert_pfn()
and track_pfn_remap() for the remap_pfn_range().
This cleanup also prepares the ground for the track/untrack pfn vma
routines to take over the ownership of setting PAT specific vm_flag in
the 'vma'.

'pfn' argument for track_pfn_vma_new() can be used for reserving the
attribute for the pfn range. No need to depend on 'vm_pgoff'
Similarly, untrack_pfn_vma() can depend on the 'pfn' argument if it is
non-zero or can use follow_phys() to get the starting value of the pfn
range.
Also the non zero 'size' argument can be used instead of recomputing it
from vma.
This cleanup also prepares the ground for the track/untrack pfn vma
routines to take over the ownership of setting PAT specific vm_flag in the
'vma'.

Since the shift count settable there is used for shifting values
of type "unsigned long", its value must not match or exceed
BITS_PER_LONG (otherwise the shift operations are undefined).
Similarly, the value must not be negative (but -1 must be
permitted, as that's the value used to distinguish the case of
the fine grained flushing being disabled).

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.

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.
In the NHM EX machine 4P * 8cores * HT = 64 CPUs, hackbench pthread
has 3% performance increase.

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%
64 bytes | 4 | 1.07%
64 bytes | 8 | 3.31%
64 bytes | 16 | 0.71%

kernel will replace cr3 rewrite with invlpg when
tlb_flush_entries <= active_tlb_entries / 2^tlb_flushall_factor
if tlb_flushall_factor is -1, kernel won't do this replacement.
User can modify its value according to specific CPU/applications.
Thanks for Borislav providing the help message of
CONFIG_DEBUG_TLBFLUSH.
