Patch "sparc64: Add 64K page size support" unconditionally used __flush_huge_tsb_one_entry() which is available only when hugetlb support is enabled. Another issue was incorrect TSB flushing for 64K pages in flush_tsb_user(). Signed-off-by: Nitin Gupta <nitin.m.gupta@oracle.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

In add_node_ranges() when memblock resize happens, the iterator keeps using the previous freed array. This bug cause hangs on machine where there are over 128 memory blocks during boot. For example, on machines where memory interleaving is small. The problem is seen on T4-4 because it cant have 2T of memory, and memory is interleaved at 8G. So we have 2T/8G = 256 regions to set node IDs. The starting size of regions array is 128. Thus, we have to double at least one time (actually we have to double twice because some memory is already reserved and thus we need more than 256 regions). We start using an incorrect pointer to the array after the first doubling.

add_node_ranges() takes 2.6s - 3.6s per 1T of boot time. On machine with 6T memory it takes 15.4s, on 32T it would take 82s-115s of boot time. This function sets NUMA ids for memory blocks, and scans the whole memory a page at a time to do so. But, we could use values in latency groups mask and match to determine the boundaries without checking every single page. With the fix the add_node_ranges() time is reduced from 15.4s down to 0.2s on machine with 6T memory.

Add support for using multiple hugepage sizes simultaneously on mainline. Currently, support for 256M has been added which can be used along with 8M pages. Page tables are set like this (e.g. for 256M page): VA + (8M * x) -> PA + (8M * x) (sz bit = 256M) where x in [0, 31] and TSB is set similarly: VA + (4M * x) -> PA + (4M * x) (sz bit = 256M) where x in [0, 63] - Testing Tested on Sonoma (which supports 256M pages) by running stream benchmark instances in parallel: one instance uses 8M pages and another uses 256M pages, consuming 48G each. Boot params used: default_hugepagesz=256M hugepagesz=256M hugepages=300 hugepagesz=8M hugepages=10000 Signed-off-by: Nitin Gupta <nitin.m.gupta@oracle.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

Vijay Kumar says: ==================== sparc64: Jump to boot prom from console on panic V3 changes: - patch 02/04: Added SERIAL_SUNHV conditional group for sunhv_migrate_hvcons_irq in smp_send_stop(). V2 changes: - Added cover letter patch Currently Stop-A (L1A) does not make the kernel switch to OBP on panic. This patchset addresses this issue. Also, now we can cause a jump to OBP by sending 'break' twice from sunhv console. On bare metal, one can send a break by typing Esc + 'B' + Sysrq (or whatever). On LDOM, press Ctrl + ] in telnet, and then "send break" at the telnet prompt. ==================== Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

When returning from the user probe code into userspace process, PC & NPC are truncated to 32 bits. Due to shared libraries getting loaded very high in the virtual address space of the process, placing a user probe inside a shared library makes the kernel return into the process at the wrong address, causing it to seg'fault most of the time.

The patch "mm, page_alloc: warn_alloc print nodemask" implicitly sets the allocation nodemask to cpuset_current_mems_allowed when there is no effective mempolicy. cpuset_current_mems_allowed is only effective when cpusets are enabled, which is also printed by warn_alloc(), so setting the nodemask to cpuset_current_mems_allowed is redundant and prevents debugging issues where ac->nodemask is not set properly in the page allocator. This provides better debugging output since cpuset_print_current_mems_allowed() is already provided.

Now that __GFP_NOFAIL doesn't override decisions to skip the oom killer we are left with requests which require to loop inside the allocator without invoking the oom killer (e.g. GFP_NOFS|__GFP_NOFAIL used by fs code) and so they might, in very unlikely situations, loop for ever - e.g. other parallel request could starve them. This patch tries to limit the likelihood of such a lockup by giving these __GFP_NOFAIL requests a chance to move on by consuming a small part of memory reserves. We are using ALLOC_HARDER which should be enough to prevent from the starvation by regular allocation requests, yet it shouldn't consume enough from the reserves to disrupt high priority requests (ALLOC_HIGH). While we are at it, let's introduce a helper __alloc_pages_cpuset_fallback which enforces the cpusets but allows to fallback to ignore them if the first attempt fails. __GFP_NOFAIL requests can be considered important enough to allow cpuset runaway in order for the system to move on. It is highly unlikely that any of these will be GFP_USER anyway.

__alloc_pages_may_oom makes sure to skip the OOM killer depending on the allocation request. This includes lowmem requests, costly high order requests and others. For a long time __GFP_NOFAIL acted as an override for all those rules. This is not documented and it can be quite surprising as well. E.g. GFP_NOFS requests are not invoking the OOM killer but GFP_NOFS|__GFP_NOFAIL does so if we try to convert some of the existing open coded loops around allocator to nofail request (and we have done that in the past) then such a change would have a non trivial side effect which is far from obvious. Note that the primary motivation for skipping the OOM killer is to prevent from pre-mature invocation. The exception has been added by commit 82553a93 ("oom: invoke oom killer for __GFP_NOFAIL"). The changelog points out that the oom killer has to be invoked otherwise the request would be looping for ever. But this argument is rather weak because the OOM killer doesn't really guarantee a forward progress for those exceptional cases: - it will hardly help to form costly order which in turn can result in the system panic because of no oom killable task in the end - I believe we certainly do not want to put the system down just because there is a nasty driver asking for order-9 page with GFP_NOFAIL not realizing all the consequences. It is much better this request would loop for ever than the massive system disruption - lowmem is also highly unlikely to be freed during OOM killer - GFP_NOFS request could trigger while there is still a lot of memory pinned by filesystems. This patch simply removes the __GFP_NOFAIL special case in order to have a more clear semantic without surprising side effects.

Tetsuo Handa has pointed out that commit 0a0337e0 ("mm, oom: rework oom detection") has subtly changed semantic for costly high order requests with __GFP_NOFAIL and withtout __GFP_REPEAT and those can fail right now. My code inspection didn't reveal any such users in the tree but it is true that this might lead to unexpected allocation failures and subsequent OOPs. __alloc_pages_slowpath wrt. GFP_NOFAIL is hard to follow currently. There are few special cases but we are lacking a catch all place to be sure we will not miss any case where the non failing allocation might fail. This patch reorganizes the code a bit and puts all those special cases under nopage label which is the generic go-to-fail path. Non failing allocations are retried or those that cannot retry like non-sleeping allocation go to the failure point directly. This should make the code flow much easier to follow and make it less error prone for future changes. While we are there we have to move the stall check up to catch potentially looping non-failing allocations.

show_mem() allows to filter out node specific data which is irrelevant to the allocation request via SHOW_MEM_FILTER_NODES. The filtering is done in skip_free_areas_node which skips all nodes which are not in the mems_allowed of the current process. This works most of the time as expected because the nodemask shouldn't be outside of the allocating task but there are some exceptions. E.g. memory hotplug might want to request allocations from outside of the allowed nodes (see new_node_page). Get rid of this hardcoded behavior and push the allocation mask down the show_mem path and use it instead of cpuset_current_mems_allowed. NULL nodemask is interpreted as cpuset_current_mems_allowed.

We have a generic implementation for quite some time already. If there is any arch specific information to be printed then we should add a callback called from the generic code rather than duplicate the whole show_mem. The current code has resulted in the code duplication and the output divergence which is both confusing and adds maintainance costs. Let's just get rid of this mess.

warn_alloc is currently used for to report an allocation failure or an allocation stall. We print some details of the allocation request like the gfp mask and the request order. We do not print the allocation nodemask which is important when debugging the reason for the allocation failure as well. We alreaddy print the nodemask in the OOM report. Add nodemask to warn_alloc and print it in warn_alloc as well.

Patch series "show_mem updates", v2. This is a mixture of one bug fix (patch 1), an enhancement (patch 2) and cleanups (the rest of the series). First two patches should be really straightforward. Patch 3 removes some arch specific show_mem implementations because I think they are quite outdated and do not really serve any useful purpose anymore. I think we should really strive to have a consistent show_mem output regardless of the architecture. If some architecture is really special and wants to dump something additional we should do that via an arch specific hook. The last patch adds nodemask parameter so that we do not rely on the hardcoded mems_allowed of the current task when doing the node filtering. I consider this more a cleanup than a fix because basically all users use a nodemask which is a subset of mems_allowed. There is only one call path in the memory hotplug which doesn't comply with this but that is hardly something to worry about. This patch (of 4): Commit 599d0c95 ("mm, vmscan: move LRU lists to node") has added per numa node statistics to show_mem but it forgot to add skip_free_areas_node to filter out nodes which are outside of the allocating task numa policy. Add this check to not pollute the output with the pointless information.
