* elf coredump: add extended numbering supportDaisuke HATAYAMA2010-03-061-0/+16
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The current ELF dumper implementation can produce broken corefiles if program headers exceed 65535. This number is determined by the number of vmas which the process have. In particular, some extreme programs may use more than 65535 vmas. (If you google max_map_count, you can find some users facing this problem.) This kind of program never be able to generate correct coredumps. This patch implements ``extended numbering'' that uses sh_info field of the first section header instead of e_phnum field in order to represent upto 4294967295 vmas. This is supported by AMD64-ABI(http://www.x86-64.org/documentation.html) and Solaris(http://docs.sun.com/app/docs/doc/817-1984/). Of course, we are preparing patches for gdb and binutils.

* elf coredump: replace ELF_CORE_EXTRA_* macros by functionsDaisuke HATAYAMA2010-03-062-0/+66
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | elf_core_dump() and elf_fdpic_core_dump() use #ifdef and the corresponding macro for hiding _multiline_ logics in functions. This patch removes #ifdef and replaces ELF_CORE_EXTRA_* by corresponding functions. For architectures not implemeonting ELF_CORE_EXTRA_*, we use weak functions in order to reduce a range of modification. This cleanup is for my next patches, but I think this cleanup itself is worth doing regardless of my firnal purpose.

* mm: change anon_vma linking to fix multi-process server scalability issueRik van Riel2010-03-061-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The old anon_vma code can lead to scalability issues with heavily forking workloads. Specifically, each anon_vma will be shared between the parent process and all its child processes. In a workload with 1000 child processes and a VMA with 1000 anonymous pages per process that get COWed, this leads to a system with a million anonymous pages in the same anon_vma, each of which is mapped in just one of the 1000 processes. However, the current rmap code needs to walk them all, leading to O(N) scanning complexity for each page. This can result in systems where one CPU is walking the page tables of 1000 processes in page_referenced_one, while all other CPUs are stuck on the anon_vma lock. This leads to catastrophic failure for a benchmark like AIM7, where the total number of processes can reach in the tens of thousands. Real workloads are still a factor 10 less process intensive than AIM7, but they are catching up. This patch changes the way anon_vmas and VMAs are linked, which allows us to associate multiple anon_vmas with a VMA. At fork time, each child process gets its own anon_vmas, in which its COWed pages will be instantiated. The parents' anon_vma is also linked to the VMA, because non-COWed pages could be present in any of the children. This reduces rmap scanning complexity to O(1) for the pages of the 1000 child processes, with O(N) complexity for at most 1/N pages in the system. This reduces the average scanning cost in heavily forking workloads from O(N) to 2. The only real complexity in this patch stems from the fact that linking a VMA to anon_vmas now involves memory allocations. This means vma_adjust can fail, if it needs to attach a VMA to anon_vma structures. This in turn means error handling needs to be added to the calling functions. A second source of complexity is that, because there can be multiple anon_vmas, the anon_vma linking in vma_adjust can no longer be done under "the" anon_vma lock. To prevent the rmap code from walking up an incomplete VMA, this patch introduces the VM_LOCK_RMAP VMA flag. This bit flag uses the same slot as the NOMMU VM_MAPPED_COPY, with an ifdef in mm.h to make sure it is impossible to compile a kernel that needs both symbolic values for the same bitflag. Some test results: Without the anon_vma changes, when AIM7 hits around 9.7k users (on a test box with 16GB RAM and not quite enough IO), the system ends up running >99% in system time, with every CPU on the same anon_vma lock in the pageout code. With these changes, AIM7 hits the cross-over point around 29.7k users. This happens with ~99% IO wait time, there never seems to be any spike in system time. The anon_vma lock contention appears to be resolved.

Unfortunately, the ia64_simdefconfig does not turn on CONFIG_ACPI, and we get build errors. The fix described in $subject seems to be the most sensible way to untangle the mess. The other issue is that acpi_get_sysname() is required for all configs, most of which define CONFIG_ACPI, but are not CONFIG_IA64_GENERIC. Turn it into an inline to cover the "non generic" ia64 configs; to prevent a duplicate definition build error, we need to wrap the definition in acpi.o inside an #ifdef. Finally, move the pm_idle and pm_power_off exports into process.c (which is always built), similar to other architectures, and allow the sim defconfig to link.

Therefore, in creating pt_regs at ia64_mca_modify_original_stack(), cr_{iip,ipsr,ifs} should be derived from pmsa_{iip,ipsr,ifs}. But current code copies pmsa_{xip,xpsr,xfs} to cr_{iip,ipsr,ifs} when PSR.ic is 0. finish_pt_regs(struct pt_regs *regs, const pal_min_state_area_t *ms, unsigned long *nat) { (snip) if (ia64_psr(regs)->ic) { regs->cr_iip = ms->pmsa_iip; regs->cr_ipsr = ms->pmsa_ipsr; regs->cr_ifs = ms->pmsa_ifs; } else { regs->cr_iip = ms->pmsa_xip; regs->cr_ipsr = ms->pmsa_xpsr; regs->cr_ifs = ms->pmsa_xfs; } It's ok when PSR.ic is not 0. But when PSR.ic is 0, this could be a problem when we investigate kernel as the value of regs->cr_iip does not point to where INIT really interrupted. At first I tried to change finish_pt_regs() so that it uses always pmsa_{iip,ipsr,ifs} for cr_{iip,ipsr,ifs}, but Keith Owens pointed out it could cause another problem if I change it. >The only problem I can think of is an MCA/INIT >arriving while code like SAVE_MIN or SAVE_REST is executing. Back >tracing at that point using pmsa_iip is going to be a problem, you have >no idea what state the registers or stack are in. I confirmed he was right, so I decided to keep it as-is and to save pmsa_{iip,ipsr,ifs} to ia64_sal_os_state for debugging. An attached patch is just adding new members into ia64_sal_os_state to save pmsa_{iip,ipsr,ifs}. Signed-off-by: Takao Indoh <indou.takao@jp.fujitsu.com> Signed-off-by: Tony Luck <tony.luck@intel.com>

| * ia64: convert to dynamic percpu allocatorTejun Heo2009-10-021-12/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Unlike other archs, ia64 reserves space for percpu areas during early memory initialization. These areas occupy a contiguous region indexed by cpu number on contiguous memory model or are grouped by node on discontiguous memory model. As allocation and initialization are done by the arch code, all that setup_per_cpu_areas() needs to do is communicating the determined layout to the percpu allocator. This patch implements setup_per_cpu_areas() for both contig and discontig memory models and drops HAVE_LEGACY_PER_CPU_AREA. Please note that for contig model, the allocation itself is modified only to allocate for possible cpus instead of NR_CPUS. As dynamic percpu allocator can handle non-direct mapping, there's no reason to allocate memory for cpus which aren't possible.

| * ia64: allocate percpu area for cpu0 like percpu areas for other cpusTejun Heo2009-10-021-5/+6
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | cpu0 used special percpu area reserved by the linker, __cpu0_per_cpu, which is set up early in boot by head.S. However, this doesn't guarantee that the area will be on the same node as cpu0 and the percpu area for cpu0 ends up very far away from percpu areas for other cpus which cause problems for congruent percpu allocator. This patch makes percpu area initialization allocate percpu area for cpu0 like any other cpus and copy it from __cpu0_per_cpu which now resides in the __init area. This means that for cpu0, percpu area is first setup at __cpu0_per_cpu early by head.S and then moved to an area in the linear mapping during memory initialization and it's not allowed to take a pointer to percpu variables between head.S and memory initialization.

| * ia64: initialize cpu maps earlyTejun Heo2009-10-022-24/+20
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | All information necessary to initialize cpu possible and present maps are available once early_acpi_boot_init() is complete. Reorganize setup_arch() and acpi init functions such that, * CPU information is printed after LAPIC entries are parsed in early_acpi_boot_init(). * smp_build_cpu_map() is called by setup_arch() instead of acpi functions. * smp_build_cpu_map() is called once all CPU related information is available before memory is initialized. This is primarily to allow find_memory() to use cpu maps but is also a general cleanup. Please note that with this change, the somewhat ad-hoc early_cpu_possible_map defined and used for NUMA configurations is probably unnecessary. Something to clean up another day.

Next patches will introduce mechanisms where protocols that want to optimize this operation will provide an unlocked_recvmsg operation. This takes into account comments made by: . Paul Moore: sock_recvmsg is called only for the first datagram, sock_recvmsg_nosec is used for the rest. . Caitlin Bestler: recvmmsg now has a struct timespec timeout, that works in the same fashion as the ppoll one. If the underlying protocol returns a datagram with MSG_OOB set, this will make recvmmsg return right away with as many datagrams (+ the OOB one) it has received so far. . Rémi Denis-Courmont & Steven Whitehouse: If we receive N < vlen datagrams and then recvmsg returns an error, recvmmsg will return the successfully received datagrams, store the error and return it in the next call. This paves the way for a subsequent optimization, sk_prot->unlocked_recvmsg, where we will be able to acquire the lock only at batch start and end, not at every underlying recvmsg call.
