Add "read-mostly" qualifier to the following variables in
smp.h:
- cpu_sibling_map
- cpu_core_map
- cpu_llc_shared_map
- cpu_llc_id
- cpu_number
- x86_cpu_to_apicid
- x86_bios_cpu_apicid
- x86_cpu_to_logical_apicid
As long as all the variables above are only written during the
initialization, this change is meant to prevent the false
sharing. More specifically, on vSMP Foundation platform
x86_cpu_to_apicid shared the same internode_cache_line with
frequently written lapic_events.
From the analysis of the first 33 per_cpu variables out of 219
(memories they describe, to be more specific) the 8 have read_mostly
nature (tlb_vector_offset, cpu_loops_per_jiffy, xen_debug_irq, etc.)
and 25 are frequently written (irq_stack_union, gdt_page,
exception_stacks, idt_desc, etc.).
Assuming that the spread of the rest of the per_cpu variables is
similar, identifying the read mostly memories will make more sense
in terms of long-term code maintenance comparing to identifying
frequently written memories.

With the embed percpu first chunk allocator, x86 uses either PAGE_SIZE
or PMD_SIZE for atom_size. PMD_SIZE is used when CPU supports PSE so
that percpu areas are aligned to PMD mappings and possibly allow using
PMD mappings in vmalloc areas in the future. Using larger atom_size
doesn't waste actual memory; however, it does require larger vmalloc
space allocation later on for !first chunks.
With reasonably sized vmalloc area, PMD_SIZE shouldn't be a problem
but x86_32 at this point is anything but reasonable in terms of
address space and using larger atom_size reportedly leads to frequent
percpu allocation failures on certain setups.
As there is no reason to not use PMD_SIZE on x86_64 as vmalloc space
is aplenty and most x86_64 configurations support PSE, fix the issue
by always using PMD_SIZE on x86_64 and PAGE_SIZE on x86_32.
v2: drop cpu_has_pse test and make x86_64 always use PMD_SIZE and
x86_32 PAGE_SIZE as suggested by hpa.

Unlike 64bit, 32bit has been using its own cpu_to_node_map[] for
CPU -> NUMA node mapping. Replace it with early_percpu variable
x86_cpu_to_node_map and share the mapping code with 64bit.
* USE_PERCPU_NUMA_NODE_ID is now enabled for 32bit too.
* x86_cpu_to_node_map and numa_set/clear_node() are moved from
numa_64 to numa. For now, on 32bit, x86_cpu_to_node_map is initialized
with 0 instead of NUMA_NO_NODE. This is to avoid introducing unexpected
behavior change and will be updated once init path is unified.
* srat_detect_node() is now enabled for x86_32 too. It calls
numa_set_node() and initializes the mapping making explicit
cpu_to_node_map[] updates from map/unmap_cpu_to_node() unnecessary.

Commit e534c7c5f8 ("numa: x86_64: use generic percpu var
numa_node_id() implementation") broke numa systems that don't have ram
on node0 when MEMORY_HOTPLUG is enabled, because cpu_up() will call
cpu_to_node() before per_cpu(numa_node) is setup for APs.
When Node0 doesn't have RAM, on x86, cpus already round it to nearest
node with RAM in x86_cpu_to_node_map. and per_cpu(numa_node) is not set
up until in c_init for APs.
When later cpu_up() calling cpu_to_node() will get 0 again, and make it
online even there is no RAM on node0. so later all APs can not booted up,
and later will have panic.

Embedding percpu first chunk allocator can now handle very sparse unit
mapping. Use embedding allocator instead of lpage for 64bit NUMA.
This removes extra TLB pressure and the need to do complex and fragile
dancing when changing page attributes.
For 32bit, using very sparse unit mapping isn't a good idea because
the vmalloc space is very constrained. 32bit NUMA machines aren't
exactly the focus of optimization and it isn't very clear whether
lpage performs better than page. Use page first chunk allocator for
32bit NUMAs.
As this leaves setup_pcpu_*() functions pretty much empty, fold them
into setup_per_cpu_areas().

Now that percpu core can handle very sparse units, given that vmalloc
space is large enough, embedding first chunk allocator can use any
memory to build the first chunk. This patch teaches
pcpu_embed_first_chunk() about distances between cpus and to use
alloc/free callbacks to allocate node specific areas for each group
and use them for the first chunk.
This brings the benefits of embedding allocator to NUMA configurations
- no extra TLB pressure with the flexibility of unified dynamic
allocator and no need to restructure arch code to build memory layout
suitable for percpu. With units put into atom_size aligned groups
according to cpu distances, using large page for dynamic chunks is
also easily possible with falling back to reuglar pages if large
allocation fails.
Embedding allocator users are converted to specify NULL
cpu_distance_fn, so this patch doesn't cause any visible behavior
difference. Following patches will convert them.

Currently units are mapped sequentially into address space. This
patch adds pcpu_unit_offsets[] which allows units to be mapped to
arbitrary offsets from the chunk base address. This is necessary to
allow sparse embedding which might would need to allocate address
ranges and memory areas which aren't aligned to unit size but
allocation atom size (page or large page size). This also simplifies
things a bit by removing the need to calculate offset from unit
number.
With this change, there's no need for the arch code to know
pcpu_unit_size. Update pcpu_setup_first_chunk() and first chunk
allocators to return regular 0 or -errno return code instead of unit
size or -errno.

Till now, non-linear cpu->unit map was expressed using an integer
array which maps each cpu to a unit and used only by lpage allocator.
Although how many units have been placed in a single contiguos area
(group) is known while building unit_map, the information is lost when
the result is recorded into the unit_map array. For lpage allocator,
as all allocations are done by lpages and whether two adjacent lpages
are in the same group or not is irrelevant, this didn't cause any
problem. Non-linear cpu->unit mapping will be used for sparse
embedding and this grouping information is necessary for that.
This patch introduces pcpu_alloc_info which contains all the
information necessary for initializing percpu allocator.
pcpu_alloc_info contains array of pcpu_group_info which describes how
units are grouped and mapped to cpus. pcpu_group_info also has
base_offset field to specify its offset from the chunk's base address.
pcpu_build_alloc_info() initializes this field as if all groups are
allocated back-to-back as is currently done but this will be used to
sparsely place groups.
pcpu_alloc_info is a rather complex data structure which contains a
flexible array which in turn points to nested cpu_map arrays.
* pcpu_alloc_alloc_info() and pcpu_free_alloc_info() are provided to
help dealing with pcpu_alloc_info.
* pcpu_lpage_build_unit_map() is updated to build pcpu_alloc_info,
generalized and renamed to pcpu_build_alloc_info().
@cpu_distance_fn may be NULL indicating that all cpus are of
LOCAL_DISTANCE.
* pcpul_lpage_dump_cfg() is updated to process pcpu_alloc_info,
generalized and renamed to pcpu_dump_alloc_info(). It now also
prints which group each alloc unit belongs to.
* pcpu_setup_first_chunk() now takes pcpu_alloc_info instead of the
separate parameters. All first chunk allocators are updated to use
pcpu_build_alloc_info() to build alloc_info and call
pcpu_setup_first_chunk() with it. This has the side effect of
packing units for sparse possible cpus. ie. if cpus 0, 2 and 4 are
possible, they'll be assigned unit 0, 1 and 2 instead of 0, 2 and 4.
* x86 setup_pcpu_lpage() is updated to deal with alloc_info.
* sparc64 setup_per_cpu_areas() is updated to build alloc_info.
Although the changes made by this patch are pretty pervasive, it
doesn't cause any behavior difference other than packing of sparse
cpus. It mostly changes how information is passed among
initialization functions and makes room for more flexibility.

Large page first chunk allocator is primarily used for NUMA machines;
however, its NUMA handling is extremely simplistic. Regardless of
their proximity, each cpu is put into separate large page just to
return most of the allocated space back wasting large amount of
vmalloc space and increasing cache footprint.
This patch teachs NUMA details to large page allocator. Given
processor proximity information, pcpu_lpage_build_unit_map() will find
fitting cpu -> unit mapping in which cpus in LOCAL_DISTANCE share the
same large page and not too much virtual address space is wasted.
This greatly reduces the unit and thus chunk size and wastes much less
address space for the first chunk. For example, on 4/4 NUMA machine,
the original code occupied 16MB of virtual space for the first chunk
while the new code only uses 4MB - one 2MB page for each node.

This simplifies arch code and will help converting more archs to

end of the first chunk which doesn't have any valid usecase. Drop the
parameter. This will increase consistency with generalized 4k
allocator.
James Bottomley spotted missing conversion for the default
setup_per_cpu_areas() which caused build breakage on all arcsh which
use it.

On extreme configuration (e.g. 32bit 32-way NUMA machine), lpage
percpu first chunk allocator can consume too much of vmalloc space.
Make it fall back to 4k allocator if the consumption goes over 20%.

According to Andi, it isn't clear whether lpage allocator is worth the
trouble as there are many processors where PMD TLB is far scarcer than
PTE TLB. The advantage or disadvantage probably depends on the actual
size of percpu area and specific processor. As performance
degradation due to TLB pressure tends to be highly workload specific
and subtle, it is difficult to decide which way to go without more
data.
This patch implements percpu_alloc kernel parameter to allow selecting
which first chunk allocator to use to ease debugging and testing.
While at it, make sure all the failure paths report why something
failed to help determining why certain allocator isn't working. Also,
kill the "Great future plan" comment which had already been realized
quite some time ago.

lpage allocator aliases a PMD page for each cpu and returns whatever
is unused to the page allocator. When the pageattr of the recycled
pages are changed, this makes the two aliases point to the overlapping
regions with different attributes which isn't allowed and known to
cause subtle data corruption in certain cases.
This can be handled in simliar manner to the x86_64 highmap alias.
pageattr code should detect if the target pages have PMD alias and
split the PMD alias and synchronize the attributes.
pcpur allocator is updated to keep the allocated PMD pages map sorted
in ascending address order and provide pcpu_lpage_remapped() function
which binary searches the array to determine whether the given address
is aliased and if so to which address. pageattr is updated to use
pcpu_lpage_remapped() to detect the PMD alias and split it up as
necessary from cpa_process_alias().
Jan Beulich spotted the original problem and incorrect usage of vaddr
instead of laddr for lookup.
With this, lpage percpu allocator should work correctly. Re-enable
it.

The "remap" allocator remaps large pages to build the first chunk;
however, the name isn't very good because 4k allocator remaps too and
the whole point of the remap allocator is using large page mapping.
The allocator will be generalized and exported outside of x86, rename
it to lpage before that happens.
percpu_alloc kernel parameter is updated to accept both "remap" and
"lpage" for lpage allocator.

Remap percpu allocator has subtle bug when combined with page
attribute changing. Remap percpu allocator aliases PMD pages for the
first chunk and as pageattr doesn't know about the alias it ends up
updating page attributes of the original mapping thus leaving the
alises in inconsistent state which might lead to subtle data
corruption. Please read the following threads for more information:
http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel/835783
The following is the proposed fix which teaches pageattr about percpu
aliases.
http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel/837157
However, the above changes are deemed too pervasive for upstream
inclusion for 2.6.30 release, so this patch essentially disables
the remap allocator for the time being.

Jack found a boot crash on a system which doesn't have memory on node0.
It turns out with recent per_cpu changes, node_number for BSP will always
be 0, and it is not consistent to cpu_to_node() that might set it to a
different (nearer) node already.
aka when numa_set_node() for node0 is called early before per_cpu area is
setup:
two places touched that per_cpu(node_number,):
1. in cpu/common.c::cpu_init() and it is not for BP
| #ifdef CONFIG_NUMA
| if (cpu != 0 && percpu_read(node_number) == 0 &&
| cpu_to_node(cpu) != NUMA_NO_NODE)
| percpu_write(node_number, cpu_to_node(cpu));
| #endif
for BP: traps_init ==> cpu_init
for AP: start_secondary ==> cpu_init
2. cpu/intel.c or amd.c::srat_detect_node via numa_set_node()
for BP: check_bugs ==> identify_boot_cpu ==> identify_cpu()
that is rather later before numa_node_id() is used for BP...
for AP: start_secondary => smp_callin => smp_store_cpu_info() =>
=> identify_secondary_cpu => identify_cpu()
so try to set that for BP earlier in setup_per_cpu_areas(), and
don't bother to set that for APs there (it will be updated later
and will be used later)
(and don't mess the 0 before the copying BP per_cpu data to APs)

Impact: fix relocation overflow during module load
x86_64 uses 32bit relocations for symbol access and static percpu
symbols whether in core or modules must be inside 2GB of the percpu
segement base which the dynamic percpu allocator doesn't guarantee.
This patch makes x86_64 reserve PERCPU_MODULE_RESERVE bytes in the
first chunk so that module percpu areas are always allocated from the
first chunk which is always inside the relocatable range.
This problem exists for any percpu allocator but is easily triggered
when using the embedding allocator because the second chunk is located
beyond 2GB on it.
This patch also changes the meaning of PERCPU_DYNAMIC_RESERVE such
that it only indicates the size of the area to reserve for dynamic
allocation as static and dynamic areas can be separate. New
PERCPU_DYNAMIC_RESERVED is increased by 4k for both 32 and 64bits as
the reserved area separation eats away some allocatable space and
having slightly more headroom (currently between 4 and 8k after
minimal boot sans module area) makes sense for common case
performance.
x86_32 can address anywhere from anywhere and doesn't need reserving.
Mike Galbraith first reported the problem first and bisected it to the
embedding percpu allocator commit.

Impact: add reserved allocation functionality and use it for module
percpu variables
This patch implements reserved allocation from the first chunk. When
setting up the first chunk, arch can ask to set aside certain number
of bytes right after the core static area which is available only
through a separate reserved allocator. This will be used primarily
for module static percpu variables on architectures with limited
relocation range to ensure that the module perpcu symbols are inside
the relocatable range.
If reserved area is requested, the first chunk becomes reserved and
isn't available for regular allocation. If the first chunk also
includes piggy-back dynamic allocation area, a separate chunk mapping
the same region is created to serve dynamic allocation. The first one
is called static first chunk and the second dynamic first chunk.
Although they share the page map, their different area map
initializations guarantee they serve disjoint areas according to their
purposes.
If arch doesn't setup reserved area, reserved allocation is handled
like any other allocation.

Impact: reduce unnecessary memory usage on certain configurations
Embedding percpu allocator allocates unit_size *
smp_num_possible_cpus() bytes consecutively and use it for the first

excessive prellocated free space in the first chunk due to

necessary as described by PERPCU_DYNAMIC_RESERVE and return the
leftover to the bootmem allocator.

In pcpu_setup_first_chunk(), zero @unit_size and @dyn_size meant
auto-sizing. It's okay for @unit_size as 0 doesn't make sense but 0
dynamic reserve size is valid. Alos, if arch @dyn_size is calculated
from other parameters, it might end up passing in 0 @dyn_size and
malfunction when the size is automatically adjusted.
This patch makes both @unit_size and @dyn_size ssize_t and use -1 for
auto sizing.

Impact: add better first percpu allocation for NUMA
On NUMA, embedding allocator can't be used as different units can't be
made to fall in the correct NUMA nodes. To use large page mapping,
each unit needs to be remapped. However, percpu areas are usually
much smaller than large page size and unused space hurts a lot as the
number of cpus grow. This allocator remaps large pages for each chunk
but gives back unused part to the bootmem allocator making the large
pages mapped twice.
This adds slightly to the TLB pressure but is much better than using
4k mappings while still being NUMA-friendly.
Ingo suggested that this would be the correct approach for NUMA.

Impact: add better first percpu allocation for !NUMA
On !NUMA, we can simply allocate contiguous memory and use it for the
first chunk without mapping it into vmalloc area. As the memory area
is covered by the large page physical memory mapping, it allows the
dynamic perpcu allocator to not add any TLB overhead for the static
percpu area and whatever falls into the first chunk and the
implementation is very simple too.
