* x86: lockless get_user_pages_fast()Nick Piggin2008-07-265-0/+264
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Implement get_user_pages_fast without locking in the fastpath on x86. Do an optimistic lockless pagetable walk, without taking mmap_sem or any page table locks or even mmap_sem. Page table existence is guaranteed by turning interrupts off (combined with the fact that we're always looking up the current mm, means we can do the lockless page table walk within the constraints of the TLB shootdown design). Basically we can do this lockless pagetable walk in a similar manner to the way the CPU's pagetable walker does not have to take any locks to find present ptes. This patch (combined with the subsequent ones to convert direct IO to use it) was found to give about 10% performance improvement on a 2 socket 8 core Intel Xeon system running an OLTP workload on DB2 v9.5 "To test the effects of the patch, an OLTP workload was run on an IBM x3850 M2 server with 2 processors (quad-core Intel Xeon processors at 2.93 GHz) using IBM DB2 v9.5 running Linux 2.6.24rc7 kernel. Comparing runs with and without the patch resulted in an overall performance benefit of ~9.8%. Correspondingly, oprofiles showed that samples from __up_read and __down_read routines that is seen during thread contention for system resources was reduced from 2.8% down to .05%. Monitoring the /proc/vmstat output from the patched run showed that the counter for fast_gup contained a very high number while the fast_gup_slow value was zero." (fast_gup is the old name for get_user_pages_fast, fast_gup_slow is a counter we had for the number of times the slowpath was invoked). The main reason for the improvement is that DB2 has multiple threads each issuing direct-IO. Direct-IO uses get_user_pages, and thus the threads contend the mmap_sem cacheline, and can also contend on page table locks. I would anticipate larger performance gains on larger systems, however I think DB2 uses an adaptive mix of threads and processes, so it could be that thread contention remains pretty constant as machine size increases. In which case, we stuck with "only" a 10% gain. The downside of using get_user_pages_fast is that if there is not a pte with the correct permissions for the access, we end up falling back to get_user_pages and so the get_user_pages_fast is a bit of extra work. However this should not be the common case in most performance critical code.

* mm: introduce get_user_pages_fastNick Piggin2008-07-261-0/+33
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Introduce a new get_user_pages_fast mm API, which is basically a get_user_pages with a less general API (but still tends to be suited to the common case): - task and mm are always current and current->mm - force is always 0 - pages is always non-NULL - don't pass back vmas This restricted API can be implemented in a much more scalable way on many architectures when the ptes are present, by walking the page tables locklessly (no mmap_sem or page table locks). When the ptes are not populated, get_user_pages_fast() could be slower. This is implemented locklessly on x86, and used in some key direct IO call sites, in later patches, which provides nearly 10% performance improvement on a threaded database workload. Lots of other code could use this too, depending on use cases (eg. grep drivers/). And it might inspire some new and clever ways to use it.

* Better interface for hooking early initcallsEduard - Gabriel Munteanu2008-07-263-2/+20
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Added early initcall (pre-SMP) support, using an identical interface to that of regular initcalls. Functions called from do_pre_smp_initcalls() could be converted to use this cleaner interface. This is required by CPU hotplug, because early users have to register notifiers before going SMP. One such CPU hotplug user is the relay interface with buffer-only channels, which needs to register such a notifier, to be usable in early code. This in turn is used by kmemtrace.

* kexec jump: save/restore device stateHuang Ying2008-07-265-4/+56

This patch together with features in kexec_jump patch can be used for following: - A simple hibernation implementation without ACPI support. You can kexec a hibernating kernel, save the memory image of original system and shutdown the system. When resuming, you restore the memory image of original system via ordinary kexec load then jump back. - Kernel/system debug through making system snapshot. You can make system snapshot, jump back, do some thing and make another system snapshot. - Cooperative multi-kernel/system. With kexec jump, you can switch between several kernels/systems quickly without boot process except the first time. This appears like swap a whole kernel/system out/in. - A general method to call program in physical mode (paging turning off). This can be used to invoke BIOS code under Linux. The following user-space tools can be used with kexec jump: - kexec-tools needs to be patched to support kexec jump. The patches and the precompiled kexec can be download from the following URL: source: http://khibernation.sourceforge.net/download/release_v10/kexec-tools/kexec-tools-src_git_kh10.tar.bz2 patches: http://khibernation.sourceforge.net/download/release_v10/kexec-tools/kexec-tools-patches_git_kh10.tar.bz2 binary: http://khibernation.sourceforge.net/download/release_v10/kexec-tools/kexec_git_kh10 - makedumpfile with patches are used as memory image saving tool, it can exclude free pages from original kernel memory image file. The patches and the precompiled makedumpfile can be download from the following URL: source: http://khibernation.sourceforge.net/download/release_v10/makedumpfile/makedumpfile-src_cvs_kh10.tar.bz2 patches: http://khibernation.sourceforge.net/download/release_v10/makedumpfile/makedumpfile-patches_cvs_kh10.tar.bz2 binary: http://khibernation.sourceforge.net/download/release_v10/makedumpfile/makedumpfile_cvs_kh10 - An initramfs image can be used as the root file system of kexeced kernel. An initramfs image built with "BuildRoot" can be downloaded from the following URL: initramfs image: http://khibernation.sourceforge.net/download/release_v10/initramfs/rootfs_cvs_kh10.gz All user space tools above are included in the initramfs image. Usage example of simple hibernation: 1. Compile and install patched kernel with following options selected: CONFIG_X86_32=y CONFIG_RELOCATABLE=y CONFIG_KEXEC=y CONFIG_CRASH_DUMP=y CONFIG_PM=y CONFIG_HIBERNATION=y CONFIG_KEXEC_JUMP=y 2. Build an initramfs image contains kexec-tool and makedumpfile, or download the pre-built initramfs image, called rootfs.gz in following text. 3. Prepare a partition to save memory image of original kernel, called hibernating partition in following text. 4. Boot kernel compiled in step 1 (kernel A). 5. In the kernel A, load kernel compiled in step 1 (kernel B) with /sbin/kexec. The shell command line can be as follow: /sbin/kexec --load-preserve-context /boot/bzImage --mem-min=0x100000 --mem-max=0xffffff --initrd=rootfs.gz 6. Boot the kernel B with following shell command line: /sbin/kexec -e 7. The kernel B will boot as normal kexec. In kernel B the memory image of kernel A can be saved into hibernating partition as follow: jump_back_entry=`cat /proc/cmdline | tr ' ' '\n' | grep kexec_jump_back_entry | cut -d '='` echo $jump_back_entry > kexec_jump_back_entry cp /proc/vmcore dump.elf Then you can shutdown the machine as normal. 8. Boot kernel compiled in step 1 (kernel C). Use the rootfs.gz as root file system. 9. In kernel C, load the memory image of kernel A as follow: /sbin/kexec -l --args-none --entry=`cat kexec_jump_back_entry` dump.elf 10. Jump back to the kernel A as follow: /sbin/kexec -e Then, kernel A is resumed. Implementation point: To support jumping between two kernels, before jumping to (executing) the new kernel and jumping back to the original kernel, the devices are put into quiescent state, and the state of devices and CPU is saved. After jumping back from kexeced kernel and jumping to the new kernel, the state of devices and CPU are restored accordingly. The devices/CPU state save/restore code of software suspend is called to implement corresponding function. Known issues: - Because the segment number supported by sys_kexec_load is limited, hibernation image with many segments may not be load. This is planned to be eliminated by adding a new flag to sys_kexec_load to make a image can be loaded with multiple sys_kexec_load invoking. Now, only the i386 architecture is supported.

The shell command line can be as follow: /sbin/kexec --load-preserve-context --args-none phy_mode 6. Call physical mode executable with following shell command line: /sbin/kexec -e Implementation point: To support jumping without reserving memory. One shadow backup page (source page) is allocated for each page used by kexeced code image (destination page). When do kexec_load, the image of kexeced code is loaded into source pages, and before executing, the destination pages and the source pages are swapped, so the contents of destination pages are backupped. Before jumping to the kexeced code image and after jumping back to the original kernel, the destination pages and the source pages are swapped too. C ABI (calling convention) is used as communication protocol between kernel and called code. A flag named KEXEC_PRESERVE_CONTEXT for sys_kexec_load is added to indicate that the loaded kernel image is used for jumping back. Now, only the i386 architecture is supported.

* x86 calgary: fix handling of devices that aren't behind the CalgaryAlexis Bruemmer2008-07-262-45/+27Star
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The calgary code can give drivers addresses above 4GB which is very bad for hardware that is only 32bit DMA addressable. With this patch, the calgary code sets the global dma_ops to swiotlb or nommu properly, and the dma_ops of devices behind the Calgary/CalIOC2 to calgary_dma_ops. So the calgary code can handle devices safely that aren't behind the Calgary/CalIOC2.

* dma-mapping: add the device argument to dma_mapping_error()FUJITA Tomonori2008-07-2676-210/+256
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Add per-device dma_mapping_ops support for CONFIG_X86_64 as POWER architecture does: This enables us to cleanly fix the Calgary IOMMU issue that some devices are not behind the IOMMU (http://lkml.org/lkml/2008/5/8/423). I think that per-device dma_mapping_ops support would be also helpful for KVM people to support PCI passthrough but Andi thinks that this makes it difficult to support the PCI passthrough (see the above thread). So I CC'ed this to KVM camp. Comments are appreciated. A pointer to dma_mapping_ops to struct dev_archdata is added. If the pointer is non NULL, DMA operations in asm/dma-mapping.h use it. If it's NULL, the system-wide dma_ops pointer is used as before. If it's useful for KVM people, I plan to implement a mechanism to register a hook called when a new pci (or dma capable) device is created (it works with hot plugging). It enables IOMMUs to set up an appropriate dma_mapping_ops per device. The major obstacle is that dma_mapping_error doesn't take a pointer to the device unlike other DMA operations. So x86 can't have dma_mapping_ops per device. Note all the POWER IOMMUs use the same dma_mapping_error function so this is not a problem for POWER but x86 IOMMUs use different dma_mapping_error functions. The first patch adds the device argument to dma_mapping_error. The patch is trivial but large since it touches lots of drivers and dma-mapping.h in all the architecture. This patch: dma_mapping_error() doesn't take a pointer to the device unlike other DMA operations. So we can't have dma_mapping_ops per device. Note that POWER already has dma_mapping_ops per device but all the POWER IOMMUs use the same dma_mapping_error function. x86 IOMMUs use device argument.

* pnp: have quirk_system_pci_resources() include io resourcesRene Herman2008-07-261-5/+8
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | quirk_system_pci_resources() disables a PnP mem resource that overlaps a PCI BAR so as to not keep the PCI driver from claiming the resource. Have it do the same for io resources. Here, ACPI claims ports that overlap with my soundcard causing the soundcard driver to fail to load. It's unknown why my ACPI BIOS claims those ports; it did not use to but this is not a (kernel) regression. Some odd BIOS reconfig triggered by temporarily removing the card seems to have brought this on.

* isa: set 24-bit dma_mask for ISA devicesRene Herman2008-07-261-0/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | dma_alloc_coherent() on x86 currently takes a passed in NULL device pointer to mean that it should allocate an ISA compatible (24-bit) buffer which is a bit of a hack. The ALSA ISA drivers are the main consumers of this but have a struct device in fact readily available. For the legacy drivers, this sets the device dma_mask in preparation for using the actual device with the DMA API so as to eventually not need the NULL hack in dma_alloc_coherent(). This does not fix a current bug -- 2.6.26-rc1 stumbled over the NULL hack in dma_alloc_coherent() but this has already been fixed in commit 4a367f3a9dbf2e7ffcee4702203479809236ee6e by Takashi Iwai.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | dma_alloc_coherent() on x86 currently takes a passed in NULL device pointer to mean that it should allocate an ISA compatible (24-bit) buffer which is a bit of a hack. The ALSA ISA drivers are the main consumers of this but have a struct device in fact readily available. For the PnP drivers, the specific pnp_dev->dev device pointer is not always available at the right time so for now we want to pass the pnp_card->dev instead which is always available. Set its dma_mask in preparation for doing so.
