a844f38671 mm: add missing dependency in Kconfig
Eliminate the following (rand)config warning by adding missing PROC_FS
dependency:

  warning: (HWPOISON_INJECT && MEM_SOFT_DIRTY) selects PROC_PAGE_MONITOR which has unmet direct dependencies (PROC_FS && MMU)

49076ec2cc mm: dynamically allocate page->ptl if it cannot be embedded to struct page
If split page table lock is in use, we embed the lock into struct page
of table's page.  We have to disable split lock, if spinlock_t is too
big be to be embedded, like when DEBUG_SPINLOCK or DEBUG_LOCK_ALLOC
enabled.

This patch add support for dynamic allocation of split page table lock
if we can't embed it to struct page.

page->ptl is unsigned long now and we use it as spinlock_t if
sizeof(spinlock_t) <= sizeof(long), otherwise it's pointer to spinlock_t.

The spinlock_t allocated in pgtable_page_ctor() for PTE table and in
pgtable_pmd_page_ctor() for PMD table.  All other helpers converted to
support dynamically allocated page->ptl.

e009bb30c8 mm: implement split page table lock for PMD level
The basic idea is the same as with PTE level: the lock is embedded into
struct page of table's page.

We can't use mm->pmd_huge_pte to store pgtables for THP, since we don't
take mm->page_table_lock anymore.  Let's reuse page->lru of table's page
for that.

pgtable_pmd_page_ctor() returns true, if initialization is successful
and false otherwise.  Current implementation never fails, but assumption
that constructor can fail will help to port it to -rt where spinlock_t
is rather huge and cannot be embedded into struct page -- dynamic
allocation is required.

e9bb18c7b9 mm: avoid increase sizeof(struct page) due to split page table lock
Alex Thorlton noticed that some massively threaded workloads work poorly,
if THP enabled.  This patchset fixes this by introducing split page table
lock for PMD tables.  hugetlbfs is not covered yet.

This patchset is based on work by Naoya Horiguchi.

This patch (of 11):

CONFIG_GENERIC_LOCKBREAK increases sizeof(spinlock_t) to 8 bytes.  It
leads to increase sizeof(struct page) by 4 bytes on 32-bit system if split
page table lock is in use, since page->ptl shares space in union with
longs and pointers.

Let's disable split page table lock on 32-bit systems with
GENERIC_LOCKBREAK enabled.

c5320926e3 mem-hotplug: introduce movable_node boot option
The hot-Pluggable field in SRAT specifies which memory is hotpluggable.
As we mentioned before, if hotpluggable memory is used by the kernel, it
cannot be hot-removed.  So memory hotplug users may want to set all
hotpluggable memory in ZONE_MOVABLE so that the kernel won't use it.

Memory hotplug users may also set a node as movable node, which has
ZONE_MOVABLE only, so that the whole node can be hot-removed.

But the kernel cannot use memory in ZONE_MOVABLE.  By doing this, the
kernel cannot use memory in movable nodes.  This will cause NUMA
performance down.  And other users may be unhappy.

So we need a way to allow users to enable and disable this functionality.
In this patch, we introduce movable_node boot option to allow users to
choose to not to consume hotpluggable memory at early boot time and later
we can set it as ZONE_MOVABLE.

To achieve this, the movable_node boot option will control the memblock
allocation direction.  That said, after memblock is ready, before SRAT is
parsed, we should allocate memory near the kernel image as we explained in
the previous patches.  So if movable_node boot option is set, the kernel
does the following:

1. After memblock is ready, make memblock allocate memory bottom up.
2. After SRAT is parsed, make memblock behave as default, allocate memory
   top down.

Users can specify "movable_node" in kernel commandline to enable this
functionality.  For those who don't use memory hotplug or who don't want
to lose their NUMA performance, just don't specify anything.  The kernel
will work as before.

f7e3334a6b powerpc: Fix memory hotplug with sparse vmemmap
Previous commit 46723bfa540... introduced a new config option
HAVE_BOOTMEM_INFO_NODE that ended up breaking memory hot-remove for ppc
when sparse vmemmap is not defined.

This patch defines HAVE_BOOTMEM_INFO_NODE for ppc and adds the call to
register_page_bootmem_info_node. Without this we get a BUG_ON for memory
hot remove in put_page_bootmem().

This also adds a stub for register_page_bootmem_memmap to allow ppc to build
with sparse vmemmap defined. Leaving this as a stub is fine since the same
vmemmap addresses are also handled in vmemmap_populate and as such are
properly mapped.

2b2811178e zswap: add to mm/
zswap is a thin backend for frontswap that takes pages that are in the
process of being swapped out and attempts to compress them and store
them in a RAM-based memory pool.  This can result in a significant I/O
reduction on the swap device and, in the case where decompressing from
RAM is faster than reading from the swap device, can also improve
workload performance.

It also has support for evicting swap pages that are currently
compressed in zswap to the swap device on an LRU(ish) basis.  This
functionality makes zswap a true cache in that, once the cache is full,
the oldest pages can be moved out of zswap to the swap device so newer
pages can be compressed and stored in zswap.

This patch adds the zswap driver to mm/

4e2e2770b1 zbud: add to mm/
zbud is an special purpose allocator for storing compressed pages.  It
is designed to store up to two compressed pages per physical page.
While this design limits storage density, it has simple and
deterministic reclaim properties that make it preferable to a higher
density approach when reclaim will be used.

zbud works by storing compressed pages, or "zpages", together in pairs
in a single memory page called a "zbud page".  The first buddy is "left
justifed" at the beginning of the zbud page, and the last buddy is
"right justified" at the end of the zbud page.  The benefit is that if
either buddy is freed, the freed buddy space, coalesced with whatever
slack space that existed between the buddies, results in the largest
possible free region within the zbud page.

zbud also provides an attractive lower bound on density.  The ratio of
zpages to zbud pages can not be less than 1.  This ensures that zbud can
never "do harm" by using more pages to store zpages than the
uncompressed zpages would have used on their own.

This implementation is a rewrite of the zbud allocator internally used
by zcache in the driver/staging tree.  The rewrite was necessary to
remove some of the zcache specific elements that were ingrained
throughout and provide a generic allocation interface that can later be
used by zsmalloc and others.

This patch adds zbud to mm/ for later use by zswap.

0f8975ec4d mm: soft-dirty bits for user memory changes tracking
The soft-dirty is a bit on a PTE which helps to track which pages a task
writes to.  In order to do this tracking one should

  1. Clear soft-dirty bits from PTEs ("echo 4 > /proc/PID/clear_refs)
  2. Wait some time.
  3. Read soft-dirty bits (55'th in /proc/PID/pagemap2 entries)

To do this tracking, the writable bit is cleared from PTEs when the
soft-dirty bit is.  Thus, after this, when the task tries to modify a
page at some virtual address the #PF occurs and the kernel sets the
soft-dirty bit on the respective PTE.

Note, that although all the task's address space is marked as r/o after
the soft-dirty bits clear, the #PF-s that occur after that are processed
fast.  This is so, since the pages are still mapped to physical memory,
and thus all the kernel does is finds this fact out and puts back
writable, dirty and soft-dirty bits on the PTE.

Another thing to note, is that when mremap moves PTEs they are marked
with soft-dirty as well, since from the user perspective mremap modifies
the virtual memory at mremap's new address.

46723bfa54 memory-hotplug: implement register_page_bootmem_info_section of sparse-vmemmap
For removing memmap region of sparse-vmemmap which is allocated bootmem,
memmap region of sparse-vmemmap needs to be registered by
get_page_bootmem().  So the patch searches pages of virtual mapping and
registers the pages by get_page_bootmem().

NOTE: register_page_bootmem_memmap() is not implemented for ia64,
      ppc, s390, and sparc.  So introduce CONFIG_HAVE_BOOTMEM_INFO_NODE
      and revert register_page_bootmem_info_node() when platform doesn't
      support it.

      It's implemented by adding a new Kconfig option named
      CONFIG_HAVE_BOOTMEM_INFO_NODE, which will be automatically selected
      by memory-hotplug feature fully supported archs(currently only on
      x86_64).

      Since we have 2 config options called MEMORY_HOTPLUG and
      MEMORY_HOTREMOVE used for memory hot-add and hot-remove separately,
      and codes in function register_page_bootmem_info_node() are only
      used for collecting infomation for hot-remove, so reside it under
      MEMORY_HOTREMOVE.

      Besides page_isolation.c selected by MEMORY_ISOLATION under
      MEMORY_HOTPLUG is also such case, move it too.

ffecfd1a72 block: optionally snapshot page contents to provide stable pages during write
This provides a band-aid to provide stable page writes on jbd without
needing to backport the fixed locking and page writeback bit handling
schemes of jbd2.  The band-aid works by using bounce buffers to snapshot
page contents instead of waiting.

For those wondering about the ext3 bandage -- fixing the jbd locking
(which was done as part of ext4dev years ago) is a lot of surgery, and
setting PG_writeback on data pages when we actually hold the page lock
dropped ext3 performance by nearly an order of magnitude.  If we're
going to migrate iscsi and raid to use stable page writes, the
complaints about high latency will likely return.  We might as well
centralize their page snapshotting thing to one place.

20b2f52b73 numa: add CONFIG_MOVABLE_NODE for movable-dedicated node
We need a node which only contains movable memory.  This feature is very
important for node hotplug.  If a node has normal/highmem, the memory may
be used by the kernel and can't be offlined.  If the node only contains
movable memory, we can offline the memory and the node.

All are prepared, we can actually introduce N_MEMORY.
add CONFIG_MOVABLE_NODE make we can use it for movable-dedicated node

18468d93e5 mm: introduce a common interface for balloon pages mobility
Memory fragmentation introduced by ballooning might reduce significantly
the number of 2MB contiguous memory blocks that can be used within a guest,
thus imposing performance penalties associated with the reduced number of
transparent huge pages that could be used by the guest workload.

This patch introduces a common interface to help a balloon driver on
making its page set movable to compaction, and thus allowing the system
to better leverage the compation efforts on memory defragmentation.

15626062f4 thp, x86: introduce HAVE_ARCH_TRANSPARENT_HUGEPAGE
Cleanup patch in preparation for transparent hugepage support on s390.
Adding new architectures to the TRANSPARENT_HUGEPAGE config option can
make the "depends" line rather ugly, like "depends on (X86 || (S390 &&
64BIT)) && MMU".

This patch adds a HAVE_ARCH_TRANSPARENT_HUGEPAGE instead.  x86 already has
MMU "def_bool y", so the MMU check is superfluous there and
HAVE_ARCH_TRANSPARENT_HUGEPAGE can be selected in arch/x86/Kconfig.

Fix up trivial conflict in mm/Makefile due to removal of swap token code
changing a line next to the new frontswap entry.

This pull request came in before the merge window even opened, it got
delayed to after the merge window by me just wanting to make sure it had
actual users.  Apparently IBM is using this on their embedded side, and
Jan Beulich says that it's already made available for SLES and OpenSUSE
users.

Also acked by Rik van Riel, and Konrad points to other people liking it
too.  So in it goes.

47118af076 mm: mmzone: MIGRATE_CMA migration type added
The MIGRATE_CMA migration type has two main characteristics:
(i) only movable pages can be allocated from MIGRATE_CMA
pageblocks and (ii) page allocator will never change migration
type of MIGRATE_CMA pageblocks.

This guarantees (to some degree) that page in a MIGRATE_CMA page
block can always be migrated somewhere else (unless there's no
memory left in the system).

It is designed to be used for allocating big chunks (eg. 10MiB)
of physically contiguous memory.  Once driver requests
contiguous memory, pages from MIGRATE_CMA pageblocks may be
migrated away to create a contiguous block.

To minimise number of migrations, MIGRATE_CMA migration type
is the last type tried when page allocator falls back to other
migration types when requested.

From 83103b92f3234ec830852bbc5c45911bd6cbdb20 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001
From: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org>
Date: Thu, 14 Jul 2011 11:22:16 +0200

Add optional region->nid which can be enabled by arch using
CONFIG_HAVE_MEMBLOCK_NODE_MAP.  When enabled, memblock also carries
NUMA node information and replaces early_node_map[].

Newly added memblocks have MAX_NUMNODES as nid.  Arch can then call
memblock_set_node() to set node information.  memblock takes care of
merging and node affine allocations w.r.t. node information.

When MEMBLOCK_NODE_MAP is enabled, early_node_map[], related data
structures and functions to manipulate and iterate it are disabled.
memblock version of __next_mem_pfn_range() is provided such that
for_each_mem_pfn_range() behaves the same and its users don't have to
be updated.

-v2: Yinghai spotted section mismatch caused by missing
     __init_memblock in memblock_set_node().  Fixed.

077b1f83a6 mm: cleancache core ops functions and config
This third patch of eight in this cleancache series provides
the core code for cleancache that interfaces between the hooks in
VFS and individual filesystems and a cleancache backend.  It also
includes build and config patches.

Two new files are added: mm/cleancache.c and include/linux/cleancache.h.

Note that CONFIG_CLEANCACHE can default to on; in systems that do
not provide a cleancache backend, all hooks devolve to a simple
check of a global enable flag, so performance impact should
be negligible but can be reduced to zero impact if config'ed off.
However for this first commit, it defaults to off.

Details and a FAQ can be found in Documentation/vm/cleancache.txt

33a938774f mm: compaction: don't depend on HUGETLB_PAGE
Commit 5d6892407 ("thp: select CONFIG_COMPACTION if TRANSPARENT_HUGEPAGE
enabled") causes this warning during the configuration process:

  warning: (TRANSPARENT_HUGEPAGE) selects COMPACTION which has unmet
  direct dependencies (EXPERIMENTAL && HUGETLB_PAGE && MMU)

COMPACTION doesn't depend on HUGETLB_PAGE, it doesn't depend on THP
either, it is also useful for regular alloc_pages(order > 0) including
the very kernel stack during fork (THREAD_ORDER = 1).  It's always
better to enable COMPACTION.

The warning should be an error because we would end up with MIGRATION
not selected, and COMPACTION wouldn't work without migration (despite it
seems to build with an inline migrate_pages returning -ENOSYS).

I'd also like to remove EXPERIMENTAL: compaction has been in the kernel
for some releases (for full safety the default remains disabled which I
think is enough).

5d6892407c thp: select CONFIG_COMPACTION if TRANSPARENT_HUGEPAGE enabled
With transparent hugepage support we need compaction for the "defrag"
sysfs controls to be effective.

At the moment THP hangs the system if COMPACTION isn't selected, as
without COMPACTION lumpy reclaim wouldn't be entirely disabled.  So at the
moment it's not orthogonal.  When lumpy will be removed from the VM I can
remove the select COMPACTION in theory, but then 99% of THP users would be
still doing a mistake in disabling compaction, even if the mistake won't
return in fatal runtime but just slightly degraded performance.  So from a
theoretical standpoing forcing the below select is not needed (the
dependency isn't strict nor at compile time nor at runtime) but from a
practical standpoint it is safer.

If anybody really wants THP to run without compaction, it'd be such a
weird setup that editing the Kconfig file to allow it will be surely not a
problem.

152e0659fc mm: avoid warning when COMPACTION is selected
COMPACTION enables MIGRATION, but MIGRATION spawns a warning if numa or
memhotplug aren't selected.  However MIGRATION doesn't depend on them.  I
guess it's just trying to be strict doing a double check on who's enabling
it, but it doesn't know that compaction also enables MIGRATION.

bbddff0545 percpu: use percpu allocator on UP too
On UP, percpu allocations were redirected to kmalloc.  This has the
following problems.

* For certain amount of allocations (determined by
  PERCPU_DYNAMIC_EARLY_SLOTS and PERCPU_DYNAMIC_EARLY_SIZE), percpu
  allocator can be used before the usual kernel memory allocator is
  brought online.  On SMP, this is used to initialize the kernel
  memory allocator.

* percpu allocator honors alignment upto PAGE_SIZE but kmalloc()
  doesn't.  For example, workqueue makes use of larger alignments for
  cpu_workqueues.

Currently, users of percpu allocators need to handle UP differently,
which is somewhat fragile and ugly.  Other than small amount of
memory, there isn't much to lose by enabling percpu allocator on UP.
It can simply use kernel memory based chunk allocation which was added
for SMP archs w/o MMUs.

This patch removes mm/percpu_up.c, builds mm/percpu.c on UP too and
makes UP build use percpu-km.  As percpu addresses and kernel
addresses are always identity mapped and static percpu variables don't
need any special treatment, nothing is arch dependent and mm/percpu.c
implements generic setup_per_cpu_areas() for UP.

95f72d1ed4 lmb: rename to memblock
via following scripts

      FILES=$(find * -type f | grep -vE 'oprofile|[^K]config')

      sed -i \
        -e 's/lmb/memblock/g' \
        -e 's/LMB/MEMBLOCK/g' \
        $FILES

      for N in $(find . -name lmb.[ch]); do
        M=$(echo $N | sed 's/lmb/memblock/g')
        mv $N $M
      done

and remove some wrong change like lmbench and dlmb etc.

also move memblock.c from lib/ to mm/

e9e96b39f9 mm: allow CONFIG_MIGRATION to be set without CONFIG_NUMA or memory hot-remove
CONFIG_MIGRATION currently depends on CONFIG_NUMA or on the architecture
being able to hot-remove memory.  The main users of page migration such as
sys_move_pages(), sys_migrate_pages() and cpuset process migration are
only beneficial on NUMA so it makes sense.

As memory compaction will operate within a zone and is useful on both NUMA
and non-NUMA systems, this patch allows CONFIG_MIGRATION to be set if the
user selects CONFIG_COMPACTION as an option.
