"x86, numa: Fake node-to-cpumask for NUMA emulation" broke the
build when CONFIG_DEBUG_PER_CPU_MAPS is set and CONFIG_NUMA_EMU
is not. This is because it is possible to map a cpu to multiple
nodes when NUMA emulation is used; the patch required a physical
node address table to find those nodes that was only available
when CONFIG_NUMA_EMU was enabled.
This extracts the common debug functionality to its own function
for CONFIG_DEBUG_PER_CPU_MAPS and uses it regardless of whether
CONFIG_NUMA_EMU is set or not.
NUMA emulation will now iterate over the set of possible nodes
for each cpu and call the new debug function whereas only the
cpu's node will be used without NUMA emulation enabled.

NUMA boot code assumes that physical node ids start at 0, but the DIMMs
that the apic id represents may not be reachable. If this is the case,
node 0 is never online and cpus never end up getting appropriately
assigned to a node. This causes the cpumask of all online nodes to be
empty and machines crash with kernel code assuming online nodes have
valid cpus.
The fix is to appropriately map all the address ranges for physical nodes
and ensure the cpu to node mapping function checks all possible nodes (up
to MAX_NUMNODES) instead of simply checking nodes 0-N, where N is the
number of physical nodes, for valid address ranges.
This requires no longer "compressing" the address ranges of nodes in the
physical node map from 0-N, but rather leave indices in physnodes[] to
represent the actual node id of the physical node. Accordingly, the
topology exported by both amd_get_nodes() and acpi_get_nodes() no longer
must return the number of nodes to iterate through; all such iterations
will now be to MAX_NUMNODES.
This change also passes the end address of system RAM (which may be
different from normal operation if mem= is specified on the command line)
before the physnodes[] array is populated. ACPI parsed nodes are
truncated to fit within the address range that respect the mem=
boundaries and even some physical nodes may become unreachable in such
cases.
When NUMA emulation does succeed, any apicid to node mapping that exists
for unreachable nodes are given default values so that proximity domains
can still be assigned. This is important for node_distance() to
function as desired.

It's necessary to fake the node-to-cpumask mapping so that an emulated
node ID returns a cpumask that includes all cpus that have affinity to
the memory it represents.
This is a little intrusive because it requires knowledge of the physical
topology of the system. setup_physnodes() gives us that information, but
since NUMA emulation ends up altering the physnodes array, it's necessary
to reset it before cpus are brought online.
Accordingly, the physnodes array is moved out of init.data and into
cpuinit.data since it will be needed on cpuup callbacks.
This works regardless of whether numa=fake is used on the command line,
or the setup of the fake node succeeds or fails. The physnodes array
always contains the physical topology of the machine if CONFIG_NUMA_EMU
is enabled and can be used to setup the correct node-to-cpumask mappings
in all cases since setup_physnodes() is called whenever the array needs
to be repopulated with the correct data.
To fake the actual mappings, numa_add_cpu() and numa_remove_cpu() are
rewritten for CONFIG_NUMA_EMU so that we first find the physical node to
which each cpu has local affinity, then iterate through all online nodes
to find the emulated nodes that have local affinity to that physical
node, and then finally map the cpu to each of those emulated nodes.

This patch adds the equivalent of acpi_fake_nodes() for AMD Northbridge
platforms. The goal is to fake the apicid-to-node mappings for NUMA
emulation so the physical topology of the machine is correctly maintained
within the kernel.
This change also fakes proximity domains for both ACPI and k8 code so the
physical distance between emulated nodes is maintained via
node_distance(). This exports the correct distances via
/sys/devices/system/node/.../distance based on the underlying topology.
A new helper function, fake_physnodes(), is introduced to correctly
invoke the correct NUMA code to fake these two mappings based on the
system type. If there is no underlying NUMA configuration, all cpus are
mapped to node 0 for local distance.
Since acpi_fake_nodes() is no longer called with CONFIG_ACPI_NUMA, it's
prototype can be removed from the header file for such a configuration.

The various stack tracing routines take a 'bp' argument in which the
caller is supposed to provide the base pointer to use, or 0 if doesn't
have one. Since bp is garbage whenever CONFIG_FRAME_POINTER is not
defined, this means all callers in principle should either always pass
0, or be conditional on CONFIG_FRAME_POINTER.
However, there are only really three use cases for stack tracing:
(a) Trace the current task, including IRQ stack if any
(b) Trace the current task, but skip IRQ stack
(c) Trace some other task
In all cases, if CONFIG_FRAME_POINTER is not defined, bp should just
be 0. If it _is_ defined, then
- in case (a) bp should be gotten directly from the CPU's register, so
the caller should pass NULL for regs,
- in case (b) the caller should should pass the IRQ registers to
dump_trace(),
- in case (c) bp should be gotten from the top of the task's stack, so
the caller should pass NULL for regs.
Hence, the bp argument is not necessary because the combination of
task and regs is sufficient to determine an appropriate value for bp.
This patch introduces a new inline function stack_frame(task, regs)
that computes the desired bp. This function is then called from the
two versions of dump_stack().

This patch expands functionality of CONFIG_DEBUG_RODATA to set main
(static) kernel data area as NX.
The following steps are taken to achieve this:
1. Linker script is adjusted so .text always starts and ends on a page bound
2. Linker script is adjusted so .rodata always start and end on a page boundary
3. NX is set for all pages from _etext through _end in mark_rodata_ro.
4. free_init_pages() sets released memory NX in arch/x86/mm/init.c
5. bios rom is set to x when pcibios is used.
The results of patch application may be observed in the diff of kernel page

This patch fixes a bug in try_preserve_large_page() which may
result in improper large page preservation and improper
application of page attributes to the memory area outside of the
original change request.
More specifically, the problem manifests itself when set_memory_*()
is called for several pages at the beginning of the large page and
try_preserve_large_page() erroneously concludes that the change can
be applied to whole large page.
The fix consists of 3 parts:
1. Addition of "required" protection attributes in
static_protections(), so .data and .bss can be guaranteed to
stay "RW"
2. static_protections() is now called for every small
page within large page to determine compatibility of new
protection attributes (instead of just small pages within the
requested range).
3. Large page can be preserved only if attribute change is
large-page-aligned and covers whole large page.

Xen can reserve huge amounts of memory for pre-ballooning, but that
still shows as RAM in the e820 memory map. early_node_mem could not
find range because of start/end adjusting, and will go through the
fallback path. However, the fallback patch is still using
memblock_x86_find_range_node(), and it is partially top-down because
it go through active_range entries from low to high.
Let's use memblock_find_in_range instead memblock_x86_find_range_node.
So get real top down in fallback path.
We may still need to make memblock_x86_find_range_node to do overall
top_down work.

Christoph reported a nice splat which illustrated a race in the new stack
based kmap_atomic implementation.
The problem is that we pop our stack slot before we're completely done
resetting its state -- in particular clearing the PTE (sometimes that's
CONFIG_DEBUG_HIGHMEM). If an interrupt happens before we actually clear
the PTE used for the last slot, that interrupt can reuse the slot in a
dirty state, which triggers a BUG in kmap_atomic().
Fix this by introducing kmap_atomic_idx() which reports the current slot
index without actually releasing it and use that to find the PTE and delay
the _pop() until after we're completely done.

This change reduces mmap_sem hold times that are caused by waiting for
disk transfers when accessing file mapped VMAs.
It introduces the VM_FAULT_ALLOW_RETRY flag, which indicates that the call
site wants mmap_sem to be released if blocking on a pending disk transfer.
In that case, filemap_fault() returns the VM_FAULT_RETRY status bit and
do_page_fault() will then re-acquire mmap_sem and retry the page fault.
It is expected that the retry will hit the same page which will now be
cached, and thus it will complete with a low mmap_sem hold time.
Tests:
- microbenchmark: thread A mmaps a large file and does random read accesses
to the mmaped area - achieves about 55 iterations/s. Thread B does
mmap/munmap in a loop at a separate location - achieves 55 iterations/s
before, 15000 iterations/s after.
- We are seeing related effects in some applications in house, which show
significant performance regressions when running without this change.

Keep the current interface but ignore the KM_type and use a stack based
approach.
The advantage is that we get rid of crappy code like:
#define __KM_PTE \
(in_nmi() ? KM_NMI_PTE : \
in_irq() ? KM_IRQ_PTE : \
KM_PTE0)
and in general can stop worrying about what context we're in and what kmap
slots might be appropriate for that.
The downside is that FRV kmap_atomic() gets more expensive.
For now we use a CPP trick suggested by Andrew:
#define kmap_atomic(page, args...) __kmap_atomic(page)
to avoid having to touch all kmap_atomic() users in a single patch.

Currently flush tlb vector allocation is based on below equation:
sender = smp_processor_id() % 8
This isn't optimal, CPUs from different node can have the same vector, this
causes a lot of lock contention. Instead, we can assign the same vectors to
CPUs from the same node, while different node has different vectors. This has
below advantages:
a. if there is lock contention, the lock contention is between CPUs from one
node. This should be much cheaper than the contention between nodes.
b. completely avoid lock contention between nodes. This especially benefits
kswapd, which is the biggest user of tlb flush, since kswapd sets its affinity
to specific node.
In my test, this could reduce > 20% CPU overhead in extreme case.The test
machine has 4 nodes and each node has 16 CPUs. I then bind each node's kswapd
to the first CPU of the node. I run a workload with 4 sequential mmap file
read thread. The files are empty sparse file. This workload will trigger a
lot of page reclaim and tlbflush. The kswapd bind is to easy trigger the
extreme tlb flush lock contention because otherwise kswapd keeps migrating
between CPUs of a node and I can't get stable result. Sure in real workload,
we can't always see so big tlb flush lock contention, but it's possible.

This patch adds an initial page table with low mappings used exclusively
for booting APs/resuming after ACPI suspend/machine restart. After this,
there's no need to add low mappings to swapper_pg_dir and zap them later
or create own swsusp PGD page solely for ACPI sleep needs - we have
initial_page_table for that.

Take mm->page_table_lock while syncing the vmalloc region. This prevents
a race with the Xen pagetable pin/unpin code, which expects that the
page_table_lock is already held. If this race occurs, then Xen can see
an inconsistent page type (a page can either be read/write or a pagetable
page, and pin/unpin converts it between them), which will cause either
the pin or the set_p[gm]d to fail; either will crash the kernel.
vmalloc_sync_all() should be called rarely, so this extra use of
page_table_lock should not interfere with its normal users.
The mm pointer is stashed in the pgd page's index field, as that won't
be otherwise used for pgds.

In x86, faults exit by executing the iret instruction, which then
reenables NMIs if we faulted in NMI context. Then if a fault
happens in NMI, another NMI can nest after the fault exits.
But we don't yet support nested NMIs because we have only one NMI
stack. To prevent from that, check that vmalloc and kmemcheck
faults don't happen in this context. Most of the other kernel faults
in NMIs can be more easily spotted by finding explicit
copy_from,to_user() calls on review.
