      mm: node_states: introduce N_MEMORY · 8219fc48
      Lai Jiangshan authored
      We have N_NORMAL_MEMORY for standing for the nodes that have normal memory
      with zone_type <= ZONE_NORMAL.
      
      And we have N_HIGH_MEMORY for standing for the nodes that have normal or
      high memory.
      
      But we don't have any word to stand for the nodes that have *any* memory.
      
      And we have N_CPU but without N_MEMORY.
      
      Current code reuse the N_HIGH_MEMORY for this purpose because any node
      which has memory must have high memory or normal memory currently.
      
      A)	But this reusing is bad for *readability*. Because the name
      	N_HIGH_MEMORY just stands for high or normal:
      
      A.example 1)
      	mem_cgroup_nr_lru_pages():
      		for_each_node_state(nid, N_HIGH_MEMORY)
      
      	The user will be confused(why this function just counts for high or
      	normal memory node? does it counts for ZONE_MOVABLE's lru pages?)
      	until someone else tell them N_HIGH_MEMORY is reused to stand for
      	nodes that have any memory.
      
      A.cont) If we introduce N_MEMORY, we can reduce this confusing
      	AND make the code more clearly:
      
      A.example 2) mm/page_cgroup.c use N_HIGH_MEMORY twice:
      
      	One is in page_cgroup_init(void):
      		for_each_node_state(nid, N_HIGH_MEMORY) {
      
      	It means if the node have memory, we will allocate page_cgroup map for
      	the node. We should use N_MEMORY instead here to gaim more clearly.
      
      	The second using is in alloc_page_cgroup():
      		if (node_state(nid, N_HIGH_MEMORY))
      			addr = vzalloc_node(size, nid);
      
      	It means if the node has high or normal memory that can be allocated
      	from kernel. We should keep N_HIGH_MEMORY here, and it will be better
      	if the "any memory" semantic of N_HIGH_MEMORY is removed.
      
      B)	This reusing is out-dated if we introduce MOVABLE-dedicated node.
      	The MOVABLE-dedicated node should not appear in
      	node_stats[N_HIGH_MEMORY] nor node_stats[N_NORMAL_MEMORY],
      	because MOVABLE-dedicated node has no high or normal memory.
      
      	In x86_64, N_HIGH_MEMORY=N_NORMAL_MEMORY, if a MOVABLE-dedicated node
      	is in node_stats[N_HIGH_MEMORY], it is also means it is in
      	node_stats[N_NORMAL_MEMORY], it causes SLUB wrong.
      
      	The slub uses
      		for_each_node_state(nid, N_NORMAL_MEMORY)
      	and creates kmem_cache_node for MOVABLE-dedicated node and cause problem.
      
      In one word, we need a N_MEMORY.  We just intrude it as an alias to
      N_HIGH_MEMORY and fix all im-proper usages of N_HIGH_MEMORY in late
      patches.

      mm: use migrate_prep() instead of migrate_prep_local() · be49a6e1
      Marek Szyprowski authored
      __alloc_contig_migrate_range() should use all possible ways to get all the
      pages migrated from the given memory range, so pruning per-cpu lru lists
      for all CPUs is required, regadless the cost of such operation.  Otherwise
      some pages which got stuck at per-cpu lru list might get missed by
      migration procedure causing the contiguous allocation to fail.

      	page and falls back to using small pages.

      thp: implement refcounting for huge zero page · 97ae1749
      Kirill A. Shutemov authored
      H.  Peter Anvin doesn't like huge zero page which sticks in memory forever
      after the first allocation.  Here's implementation of lockless refcounting
      for huge zero page.
      
      We have two basic primitives: {get,put}_huge_zero_page(). They
      manipulate reference counter.
      
      If counter is 0, get_huge_zero_page() allocates a new huge page and takes
      two references: one for caller and one for shrinker.  We free the page
      only in shrinker callback if counter is 1 (only shrinker has the
      reference).
      
      put_huge_zero_page() only decrements counter.  Counter is never zero in
      put_huge_zero_page() since shrinker holds on reference.
      
      Freeing huge zero page in shrinker callback helps to avoid frequent
      allocate-free.
      
      Refcounting has cost.  On 4 socket machine I observe ~1% slowdown on
      parallel (40 processes) read page faulting comparing to lazy huge page
      allocation.  I think it's pretty reasonable for synthetic benchmark.

      Instead of allocating huge zero page on hugepage_init() we can postpone it
      until first huge zero page map. It saves memory if THP is not in use.
      
      cmpxchg() is used to avoid race on huge_zero_pfn initialization.

      Kirill A. Shutemov authored
      All code paths seems covered. Now we can map huge zero page on read page
      fault.
      
      We setup it in do_huge_pmd_anonymous_page() if area around fault address
      is suitable for THP and we've got read page fault.
      
      If we fail to setup huge zero page (ENOMEM) we fallback to
      handle_pte_fault() as we normally do in THP.

      thp: huge zero page: basic preparation · 4a6c1297
      Kirill A. Shutemov authored
      During testing I noticed big (up to 2.5 times) memory consumption overhead
      on some workloads (e.g.  ft.A from NPB) if THP is enabled.
      
      The main reason for that big difference is lacking zero page in THP case.
      We have to allocate a real page on read page fault.
      
      A program to demonstrate the issue:
      #include <assert.h>
      #include <stdlib.h>
      #include <unistd.h>
      
      #define MB 1024*1024
      
      int main(int argc, char **argv)

      With thp-never RSS is about 400k, but with thp-always it's 200M.  After
      the patcheset thp-always RSS is 400k too.
      
      Design overview.
      
      Huge zero page (hzp) is a non-movable huge page (2M on x86-64) filled with
      zeros.  The way how we allocate it changes in the patchset:
      
      - [01/10] simplest way: hzp allocated on boot time in hugepage_init();
      - [09/10] lazy allocation on first use;
      - [10/10] lockless refcounting + shrinker-reclaimable hzp;
      
      We setup it in do_huge_pmd_anonymous_page() if area around fault address
      is suitable for THP and we've got read page fault.  If we fail to setup
      hzp (ENOMEM) we fallback to handle_pte_fault() as we normally do in THP.
      
      On wp fault to hzp we allocate real memory for the huge page and clear it.
       If ENOMEM, graceful fallback: we create a new pmd table and set pte
      around fault address to newly allocated normal (4k) page.  All other ptes
      in the pmd set to normal zero page.
      
      We cannot split hzp (and it's bug if we try), but we can split the pmd
      which points to it.  On splitting the pmd we create a table with all ptes
      set to normal zero page.
      
      ===
      
      By hpa's request I've tried alternative approach for hzp implementation
      (see Virtual huge zero page patchset): pmd table with all entries set to
      zero page.  This way should be more cache friendly, but it increases TLB
      pressure.
      
      The problem with virtual huge zero page: it requires per-arch enabling.
      We need a way to mark that pmd table has all ptes set to zero page.

      I personally prefer implementation present in this patchset. It doesn't
      touch arch-specific code.
      
      This patch:
      
      Huge zero page (hzp) is a non-movable huge page (2M on x86-64) filled with
      zeros.
      
      For now let's allocate the page on hugepage_init().  We'll switch to lazy
      allocation later.
      
      We are not going to map the huge zero page until we can handle it properly
      on all code paths.
      
      is_huge_zero_{pfn,pmd}() functions will be used by following patches to
      check whether the pfn/pmd is huge zero page.

      bootmem: remove alloc_arch_preferred_bootmem() · 3f7dfe24
      Joonsoo Kim authored
      The name of this function is not suitable, and removing the function and
      open-coding it into each call sites makes the code more understandable.
      
      Additionally, we shouldn't do an allocation from bootmem when
      slab_is_available(), so directly return kmalloc()'s return value.

      There is no implementation of bootmem_arch_preferred_node() and a call to
      this function will cause a compilation error.  So remove it.

      Pull big execve/kernel_thread/fork unification series from Al Viro:
       "All architectures are converted to new model.  Quite a bit of that
        stuff is actually shared with architecture trees; in such cases it's
        literally shared branch pulled by both, not a cherry-pick.
      
        A lot of ugliness and black magic is gone (-3KLoC total in this one):
      
         - kernel_thread()/kernel_execve()/sys_execve() redesign.
      
           We don't do syscalls from kernel anymore for either kernel_thread()
           or kernel_execve():
      
           kernel_thread() is essentially clone(2) with callback run before we
           return to userland, the callbacks either never return or do
           successful do_execve() before returning.
      
           kernel_execve() is a wrapper for do_execve() - it doesn't need to
           do transition to user mode anymore.
      
           As a result kernel_thread() and kernel_execve() are
           arch-independent now - they live in kernel/fork.c and fs/exec.c
           resp.  sys_execve() is also in fs/exec.c and it's completely

        Two new platforms have been added, the sunxi platforms (Allwinner A1x
        SoCs) by Maxime Ripard, and a generic Broadcom platform for a new
        series of ARMv7 platforms from them, where the hope is that we can
        keep the platform code generic enough to have them all share one mach
        directory.  The new Broadcom platform is contributed by Christian
        Daudt.
      
        Highbank has grown support for Calxeda's next generation of hardware,
        ECX-2000.
      
        clps711x has seen a lot of cleanup from Alexander Shiyan, and he's
        also taken on maintainership of the platform.
      
        Beyond this there has been a bunch of work from a number of people on
        converting more platforms to IRQ domains, pinctrl conversion, cleanup
        and general feature enablement across most of the active platforms."

         - cgroup_rmdir() had peculiar semantics - it allowed cgroup
           destruction to be vetoed by individual controllers and tried to
           drain refcnt synchronously.  The vetoing never worked properly and
           caused good deal of contortions in cgroup.  memcg was the last
           reamining user.  Michal Hocko removed the usage and cgroup_rmdir()
           path has been simplified significantly.  This was done in a
           separate branch so that the memcg people can base further memcg
           changes on top.
      
         - The above allowed cleaning up cgroup lifecycle management and
           implementation of generic cgroup iterators which are used to
           improve hierarchy support.
      
         - cgroup_freezer updated to allow migration in and out of a frozen
           cgroup and handle hierarchy.  If a cgroup is frozen, all descendant
           cgroups are frozen.
      
         - netcls_cgroup and netprio_cgroup updated to handle hierarchy
           properly.
      
         - Various fixes and cleanups.
      
         - Two merge commits.  One to pull in memcg and rmdir cleanups (needed
           to build iterators).  The other pulled in cgroup/for-3.7-fixes for
           device_cgroup fixes so that further device_cgroup patches can be
           stacked on top."
      
      Fixed up a trivial conflict in mm/memcontrol.c as per Tejun (due to
      commit bea8c150 ("memcg: fix hotplugged memory zone oops") in master
      touching code close to commit 2ef37d3f ("memcg: Simplify
      mem_cgroup_force_empty_list error handling") in for-3.8)

         - Addition of table based lookups for the register access checks from
