Atsushi Nemoto bcd022801e [PATCH] MIPS: Fix COW D-cache aliasing on fork
Provide a custom copy_user_highpage() to deal with aliasing issues on
MIPS.  It uses kmap_coherent() to map an user page for kernel with same
color.  Rewrite copy_to_user_page() and copy_from_user_page() with the
new interfaces to avoid extra cache flushing.

The main part of this patch was originally written by Ralf Baechle;
Atushi Nemoto did the the debugging.

Atsushi Nemoto 9de455b207 [PATCH] Pass vma argument to copy_user_highpage().
To allow a more effective copy_user_highpage() on certain architectures,
a vma argument is added to the function and cow_user_page() allowing
the implementation of these functions to check for the VM_EXEC bit.

Atsushi Nemoto 77fff4ae2b [PATCH] Fix COW D-cache aliasing on fork
Problem:

1. There is a process containing two thread (T1 and T2).  The
   thread T1 calls fork().  Then dup_mmap() function called on T1 context.

static inline int dup_mmap(struct mm_struct *mm, struct mm_struct *oldmm)
	...
	flush_cache_mm(current->mm);
	...	/* A */
	(write-protect all Copy-On-Write pages)
	...	/* B */
	flush_tlb_mm(current->mm);
	...

2. When preemption happens between A and B (or on SMP kernel), the
   thread T2 can run and modify data on COW pages without page fault
   (modified data will stay in cache).

3. Some time after fork() completed, the thread T2 may cause a page
   fault by write-protect on a COW page.

4. Then data of the COW page will be copied to newly allocated
   physical page (copy_cow_page()).  It reads data via kernel mapping.
   The kernel mapping can have different 'color' with user space
   mapping of the thread T2 (dcache aliasing).  Therefore
   copy_cow_page() will copy stale data.  Then the modified data in
   cache will be lost.

In order to allow architecture code to deal with this problem allow
architecture code to override copy_user_highpage() by defining
__HAVE_ARCH_COPY_USER_HIGHPAGE in <asm/page.h>.

The main part of this patch was originally written by Ralf Baechle;
Atushi Nemoto did the the debugging.

The BLK_DEV_SWIM_IOP driver has:
- already been marked as BROKEN in 2.6.0 three years ago and
- is still marked as BROKEN.

Drivers that had been marked as BROKEN for such a long time seem to be

But if anyone wants to ever revive this driver, the code is still

Chen, Kenneth W e61c90188b [PATCH] optimize o_direct on block devices
Implement block device specific .direct_IO method instead of going through
generic direct_io_worker for block device.

direct_io_worker() is fairly complex because it needs to handle O_DIRECT on
file system, where it needs to perform block allocation, hole detection,
extents file on write, and tons of other corner cases.  The end result is
that it takes tons of CPU time to submit an I/O.

For block device, the block allocation is much simpler and a tight triple
loop can be written to iterate each iovec and each page within the iovec in
order to construct/prepare bio structure and then subsequently submit it to
the block layer.  This significantly speeds up O_D on block device.

Rafael J. Wysocki 8a102eed9c [PATCH] PM: Fix SMP races in the freezer
Currently, to tell a task that it should go to the refrigerator, we set the
PF_FREEZE flag for it and send a fake signal to it.  Unfortunately there
are two SMP-related problems with this approach.  First, a task running on
another CPU may be updating its flags while the freezer attempts to set
PF_FREEZE for it and this may leave the task's flags in an inconsistent
state.  Second, there is a potential race between freeze_process() and
refrigerator() in which freeze_process() running on one CPU is reading a
task's PF_FREEZE flag while refrigerator() running on another CPU has just
set PF_FROZEN for the same task and attempts to reset PF_FREEZE for it.  If
the refrigerator wins the race, freeze_process() will state that PF_FREEZE
hasn't been set for the task and will set it unnecessarily, so the task
will go to the refrigerator once again after it's been thawed.

To solve first of these problems we need to stop using PF_FREEZE to tell
tasks that they should go to the refrigerator.  Instead, we can introduce a
special TIF_*** flag and use it for this purpose, since it is allowed to
change the other tasks' TIF_*** flags and there are special calls for it.

To avoid the freeze_process()-refrigerator() race we can make
freeze_process() to always check the task's PF_FROZEN flag after it's read
its "freeze" flag.  We should also make sure that refrigerator() will
always reset the task's "freeze" flag after it's set PF_FROZEN for it.

Eric Dumazet 6a2d7a955d [PATCH] SLAB: use a multiply instead of a divide in obj_to_index()
When some objects are allocated by one CPU but freed by another CPU we can
consume lot of cycles doing divides in obj_to_index().

(Typical load on a dual processor machine where network interrupts are
handled by one particular CPU (allocating skbufs), and the other CPU is
running the application (consuming and freeing skbufs))

Here on one production server (dual-core AMD Opteron 285), I noticed this
divide took 1.20 % of CPU_CLK_UNHALTED events in kernel.  But Opteron are
quite modern cpus and the divide is much more expensive on oldest
architectures :

On a 200 MHz sparcv9 machine, the division takes 64 cycles instead of 1
cycle for a multiply.

Doing some math, we can use a reciprocal multiplication instead of a divide.

If we want to compute V = (A / B)  (A and B being u32 quantities)
we can instead use :

V = ((u64)A * RECIPROCAL(B)) >> 32 ;

where RECIPROCAL(B) is precalculated to ((1LL << 32) + (B - 1)) / B

Note :

I wrote pure C code for clarity. gcc output for i386 is not optimal but
acceptable :

mull   0x14(%ebx)
mov    %edx,%eax // part of the >> 32
xor     %edx,%edx // useless
mov    %eax,(%esp) // could be avoided
mov    %edx,0x4(%esp) // useless
mov    (%esp),%ebx

Paul Jackson 02a0e53d82 [PATCH] cpuset: rework cpuset_zone_allowed api
Elaborate the API for calling cpuset_zone_allowed(), so that users have to
explicitly choose between the two variants:

  cpuset_zone_allowed_hardwall()
  cpuset_zone_allowed_softwall()

Until now, whether or not you got the hardwall flavor depended solely on
whether or not you or'd in the __GFP_HARDWALL gfp flag to the gfp_mask
argument.

If you didn't specify __GFP_HARDWALL, you implicitly got the softwall
version.

Unfortunately, this meant that users would end up with the softwall version
without thinking about it.  Since only the softwall version might sleep,
this led to bugs with possible sleeping in interrupt context on more than
one occassion.

The hardwall version requires that the current tasks mems_allowed allows
the node of the specified zone (or that you're in interrupt or that
__GFP_THISNODE is set or that you're on a one cpuset system.)

The softwall version, depending on the gfp_mask, might allow a node if it
was allowed in the nearest enclusing cpuset marked mem_exclusive (which
requires taking the cpuset lock 'callback_mutex' to evaluate.)

This patch removes the cpuset_zone_allowed() call, and forces the caller to
explicitly choose between the hardwall and the softwall case.

If the caller wants the gfp_mask to determine this choice, they should (1)
be sure they can sleep or that __GFP_HARDWALL is set, and (2) invoke the
cpuset_zone_allowed_softwall() routine.

This adds another 100 or 200 bytes to the kernel text space, due to the few
lines of nearly duplicate code at the top of both cpuset_zone_allowed_*
routines.  It should save a few instructions executed for the calls that
turned into calls of cpuset_zone_allowed_hardwall, thanks to not having to
set (before the call) then check (within the call) the __GFP_HARDWALL flag.

For the most critical call, from get_page_from_freelist(), the same
instructions are executed as before -- the old cpuset_zone_allowed()
routine it used to call is the same code as the
cpuset_zone_allowed_softwall() routine that it calls now.

Not a perfect win, but seems worth it, to reduce this chance of hitting a
sleeping with irq off complaint again.

Christoph Lameter 2e892f43cc [PATCH] Cleanup slab headers / API to allow easy addition of new slab allocators
This is a response to an earlier discussion on linux-mm about splitting
slab.h components per allocator.  Patch is against 2.6.19-git11.  See
http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-mm&m=116469577431008&w=2

This patch cleans up the slab header definitions.  We define the common
functions of slob and slab in slab.h and put the extra definitions needed
for slab's kmalloc implementations in <linux/slab_def.h>.  In order to get
a greater set of common functions we add several empty functions to slob.c
and also rename slob's kmalloc to __kmalloc.

Slob does not need any special definitions since we introduce a fallback
case.  If there is no need for a slab implementation to provide its own
kmalloc mess^H^H^Hacros then we simply fall back to __kmalloc functions.
That is sufficient for SLOB.

Sort the function in slab.h according to their functionality.  First the
functions operating on struct kmem_cache * then the kmalloc related
functions followed by special debug and fallback definitions.

Also redo a lot of comments.

Eric Dumazet 6a8ba9d121 [PATCH] reorder struct pipe_buf_operations
Fields of struct pipe_buf_operations have not a precise layout (ie not
optimized to fit cache lines nor reduce cache line ping pongs)

The bufs[] array is *large* and is placed near the beginning of the
structure, so all following fields have a large offset.  This is
unfortunate because many archs have smaller instructions when using small
offsets relative to a base register.  On x86 for example, 7 bits offsets
have smaller instruction lengths.

Moving bufs[] at the end of pipe_buf_operations permits all fields to have
small offsets, and reduce text size, and icache pressure.

# size vmlinux.pre vmlinux
    text    data     bss     dec     hex filename
3268989  664356  492196 4425541  438745 vmlinux.pre
3268765  664356  492196 4425317  438665 vmlinux

So this patch reduces text size by 224 bytes on my x86_64 machine. Similar
results on ia32.

Eric W. Biederman 5f8442edfb [PATCH] Revert "[PATCH] identifier to nsproxy"
This reverts commit 373beb35cd.

No one is using this identifier yet.  The purpose of this identifier is to
export nsproxy to user space which is wrong.  nsproxy is an internal
implementation optimization, which should keep our fork times from getting
slower as we increase the number of global namespaces you don't have to
share.

Adding a global identifier like this is inappropriate because it makes
namespaces inherently non-recursive, greatly limiting what we can do with
them in the future.

Because slot 1 of one instr bundle crosses border of two consecutive
8-bytes, kprobe on slot 1 is disabled. This patch enables kprobe on
slot1, it only replaces higher 8-bytes of the instruction bundle and
changes the exception code to ignore the low 12 bits of the break
number (which is across the border in the lower 8-bytes of the bundle).

For those instructions which must execute regardless qp bits,
kprobe on slot 1 is still disabled.

Dean Nelson a460ef8d0a [IA64] fix possible XPC deadlock when disconnecting
This patch eliminates a potential deadlock that is possible when XPC
disconnects a channel to a partition that has gone down. This deadlock will
occur if at least one of the kthreads created by XPC for the purpose of making
callouts to the channel's registerer is detained in the registerer and will
not be returning back to XPC until some registerer request occurs on the now
downed partition. The potential for a deadlock is removed by ensuring that
there always is a kthread available to make the channel disconnecting callout
to the registerer.
