f2135a4a57 mm/hugetlb.c: use long vars instead of int in region_count()
The arguments f & t and fields from & to of struct file_region are
defined as long.  So use long instead of int to type the temp vars.

d9ed9faac2 mm: add new arch_make_huge_pte() method for tile support
The tile support for multiple-size huge pages requires tagging
the hugetlb PTE with a "super" bit for PTEs that are multiples of
the basic size of a pagetable span.  To set that bit properly
we need to tweak the PTe in make_huge_pte() based on the vma.

This change provides the API for a subsequent tile-specific
change to use.

73636b1aac arch/tile: allow building Linux with transparent huge pages enabled
The change adds some infrastructure for managing tile pmd's more generally,
using pte_pmd() and pmd_pte() methods to translate pmd values to and
from ptes, since on TILEPro a pmd is really just a nested structure
holding a pgd (aka pte).  Several existing pmd methods are moved into
this framework, and a whole raft of additional pmd accessors are defined
that are used by the transparent hugepage framework.

The tile PTE now has a "client2" bit.  The bit is used to indicate a
transparent huge page is in the process of being split into subpages.

This change also fixes a generic bug where the return value of the
generic pmdp_splitting_flush() was incorrect.

d484864dd9 Merge branch 'for-linus' of git://git.linaro.org/people/mszyprowski/linux-dma-mapping
Pull CMA and ARM DMA-mapping updates from Marek Szyprowski:
 "These patches contain two major updates for DMA mapping subsystem
  (mainly for ARM architecture).  First one is Contiguous Memory
  Allocator (CMA) which makes it possible for device drivers to allocate
  big contiguous chunks of memory after the system has booted.

  The main difference from the similar frameworks is the fact that CMA
  allows to transparently reuse the memory region reserved for the big
  chunk allocation as a system memory, so no memory is wasted when no
  big chunk is allocated.  Once the alloc request is issued, the
  framework migrates system pages to create space for the required big
  chunk of physically contiguous memory.

  For more information one can refer to nice LWN articles:

   - 'A reworked contiguous memory allocator':
		http://lwn.net/Articles/447405/

   - 'CMA and ARM':
		http://lwn.net/Articles/450286/

   - 'A deep dive into CMA':
		http://lwn.net/Articles/486301/

   - and the following thread with the patches and links to all previous
     versions:
		https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/4/3/204

  The main client for this new framework is ARM DMA-mapping subsystem.

  The second part provides a complete redesign in ARM DMA-mapping
  subsystem.  The core implementation has been changed to use common
  struct dma_map_ops based infrastructure with the recent updates for
  new dma attributes merged in v3.4-rc2.  This allows to use more than
  one implementation of dma-mapping calls and change/select them on the
  struct device basis.  The first client of this new infractructure is
  dmabounce implementation which has been completely cut out of the
  core, common code.

  The last patch of this redesign update introduces a new, experimental
  implementation of dma-mapping calls on top of generic IOMMU framework.
  This lets ARM sub-platform to transparently use IOMMU for DMA-mapping
  calls if one provides required IOMMU hardware.

  For more information please refer to the following thread:
		http://www.spinics.net/lists/arm-kernel/msg175729.html

  The last patch merges changes from both updates and provides a
  resolution for the conflicts which cannot be avoided when patches have
  been applied on the same files (mainly arch/arm/mm/dma-mapping.c)."

Pull user-space probe instrumentation from Ingo Molnar:
 "The uprobes code originates from SystemTap and has been used for years
  in Fedora and RHEL kernels.  This version is much rewritten, reviews
  from PeterZ, Oleg and myself shaped the end result.

  This tree includes uprobes support in 'perf probe' - but SystemTap
  (and other tools) can take advantage of user probe points as well.

  Sample usage of uprobes via perf, for example to profile malloc()
  calls without modifying user-space binaries.

  First boot a new kernel with CONFIG_UPROBE_EVENT=y enabled.

  If you don't know which function you want to probe you can pick one
  from 'perf top' or can get a list all functions that can be probed
  within libc (binaries can be specified as well):

	$ perf probe -F -x /lib/libc.so.6

  To probe libc's malloc():

	$ perf probe -x /lib64/libc.so.6 malloc
	Added new event:
	probe_libc:malloc    (on 0x7eac0)

  You can now use it in all perf tools, such as:

	perf record -e probe_libc:malloc -aR sleep 1

  Make use of it to create a call graph (as the flat profile is going to
  look very boring):

	$ perf record -e probe_libc:malloc -gR make
	[ perf record: Woken up 173 times to write data ]
	[ perf record: Captured and wrote 44.190 MB perf.data (~1930712

  The core uprobes design is fairly straightforward: uprobes probe
  points register themselves at (inode:offset) addresses of
  libraries/binaries, after which all existing (or new) vmas that map
  that address will have a software breakpoint injected at that address.
  vmas are COW-ed to preserve original content.  The probe points are
  kept in an rbtree.

  If user-space executes the probed inode:offset instruction address
  then an event is generated which can be recovered from the regular
  perf event channels and mmap-ed ring-buffer.

  Multiple probes at the same address are supported, they create a
  dynamic callback list of event consumers.

  The basic model is further complicated by the XOL speedup: the
  original instruction that is probed is copied (in an architecture
  specific fashion) and executed out of line when the probe triggers.
  The XOL area is a single vma per process, with a fixed number of
  entries (which limits probe execution parallelism).

  The API: uprobes are installed/removed via
  /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/uprobe_events, the API is integrated to
  align with the kprobes interface as much as possible, but is separate
  to it.

  Injecting a probe point is privileged operation, which can be relaxed
  by setting perf_paranoid to -1.

  You can use multiple probes as well and mix them with kprobes and
  regular PMU events or tracepoints, when instrumenting a task."

Fix up trivial conflicts in mm/memory.c due to previous cleanup of
unmap_single_vma().

31fe62b958 mm: add a low limit to alloc_large_system_hash
UDP stack needs a minimum hash size value for proper operation and also
uses alloc_large_system_hash() for proper NUMA distribution of its hash
tables and automatic sizing depending on available system memory.

On some low memory situations, udp_table_init() must ignore the
alloc_large_system_hash() result and reallocs a bigger memory area.

As we cannot easily free old hash table, we leak it and kmemleak can
issue a warning.

This patch adds a low limit parameter to alloc_large_system_hash() to
solve this problem.

We then specify UDP_HTABLE_SIZE_MIN for UDP/UDPLite hash table
allocation.

This implied a reference counting bug and the problem happened during
mbind().

mbind() applies a new memory policy to a range and uses mbind_range() to
merge existing VMAs or split them as necessary.  In the event of splits,
mpol_dup() will allocate a new struct mempolicy and maintain existing
reference counts whose rules are documented in
Documentation/vm/numa_memory_policy.txt .

The problem occurs with shared memory policies.  The vm_op->set_policy
increments the reference count if necessary and split_vma() and
vma_merge() have already handled the existing reference counts.
However, policy_vma() screws it up by replacing an existing
vma->vm_policy with one that potentially has the wrong reference count
leading to a premature free.  This patch removes the damage caused by
policy_vma().

With this patch applied Dave's trinity tool runs an mbind test for 5
minutes without error.  /proc/slabinfo reported that there are no
numa_policy or shared_policy_node objects allocated after the test
completed and the shared memory region was deleted.

644473e9c6 Merge branch 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/ebiederm/user-namespace
Pull user namespace enhancements from Eric Biederman:
 "This is a course correction for the user namespace, so that we can
  reach an inexpensive, maintainable, and reasonably complete
  implementation.

  Highlights:
   - Config guards make it impossible to enable the user namespace and
     code that has not been converted to be user namespace safe.

   - Use of the new kuid_t type ensures the if you somehow get past the
     config guards the kernel will encounter type errors if you enable
     user namespaces and attempt to compile in code whose permission
     checks have not been updated to be user namespace safe.

   - All uids from child user namespaces are mapped into the initial
     user namespace before they are processed.  Removing the need to add
     an additional check to see if the user namespace of the compared
     uids remains the same.

   - With the user namespaces compiled out the performance is as good or
     better than it is today.

   - For most operations absolutely nothing changes performance or
     operationally with the user namespace enabled.

   - The worst case performance I could come up with was timing 1
     billion cache cold stat operations with the user namespace code
     enabled.  This went from 156s to 164s on my laptop (or 156ns to
     164ns per stat operation).

   - (uid_t)-1 and (gid_t)-1 are reserved as an internal error value.
     Most uid/gid setting system calls treat these value specially
     anyway so attempting to use -1 as a uid would likely cause
     entertaining failures in userspace.

   - If setuid is called with a uid that can not be mapped setuid fails.
     I have looked at sendmail, login, ssh and every other program I
     could think of that would call setuid and they all check for and
     handle the case where setuid fails.

   - If stat or a similar system call is called from a context in which
     we can not map a uid we lie and return overflowuid.  The LFS
     experience suggests not lying and returning an error code might be
     better, but the historical precedent with uids is different and I
     can not think of anything that would break by lying about a uid we
     can't map.

   - Capabilities are localized to the current user namespace making it
     safe to give the initial user in a user namespace all capabilities.

  My git tree covers all of the modifications needed to convert the core
  kernel and enough changes to make a system bootable to runlevel 1."

dddbd5414b Merge branch 'vm-cleanups' (unmap_vma() interface cleanup)
This series sanitizes the interface to unmap_vma().  The crazy interface
annoyed me no end when I was looking at unmap_single_vma(), which we can
spend quite a lot of time in (especially with loads that have a lot of
small fork/exec's: shell scripts etc).

Moving the nr_accounted calculations to where they belong at least
clarifies things a little.  I hope to come back to look at the
performance of this later, but if/when I get back to it I at least don't
have to see the crazy interfaces any more.

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.

62ade86ab6 memcg,thp: fix res_counter:96 regression
Occasionally, testing memcg's move_charge_at_immigrate on rc7 shows
a flurry of hundreds of warnings at kernel/res_counter.c:96, where
res_counter_uncharge_locked() does WARN_ON(counter->usage < val).

The first trace of each flurry implicates __mem_cgroup_cancel_charge()
of mc.precharge, and an audit of mc.precharge handling points to
mem_cgroup_move_charge_pte_range()'s THP handling in commit 12724850e8
("memcg: avoid THP split in task migration").

Checking !mc.precharge is good everywhere else, when a single page is to
be charged; but here the "mc.precharge -= HPAGE_PMD_NR" likely to
follow, is liable to result in underflow (a lot can change since the
precharge was estimated).

Simply check against HPAGE_PMD_NR: there's probably a better
alternative, trying precharge for more, splitting if unsuccessful; but
this one-liner is safer for now - no kernel/res_counter.c:96 warnings
seen in 26 hours.

1b76b02f15 mm: raise MemFree by reverting percpu_pagelist_fraction to 0
Why is there less MemFree than there used to be?  It perturbed a test,
so I've just been bisecting linux-next, and now find the offender went
upstream yesterday.

Commit 93278814d3 "mm: fix division by 0 in percpu_pagelist_fraction()"
mistakenly initialized percpu_pagelist_fraction to the sysctl's minimum 8,
which leaves 1/8th of memory on percpu lists (on each cpu??); but most of
us expect it to be left unset at 0 (and it's not then used as a divisor).

  MemTotal: 8061476kB  8061476kB  8061476kB  8061476kB  8061476kB  8061476kB
  Repetitive test with percpu_pagelist_fraction 8:
  MemFree:  6948420kB  6237172kB  6949696kB  6840692kB  6949048kB  6862984kB
  Same test with percpu_pagelist_fraction back to 0:
  MemFree:  7945000kB  7944908kB  7948568kB  7949060kB  7948796kB  7948812kB

6bc2e853c6 mm: nobootmem: fix sign extend problem in __free_pages_memory()
Systems with 8 TBytes of memory or greater can hit a problem where only
the the first 8 TB of memory shows up.  This is due to "int i" being
smaller than "unsigned long start_aligned", causing the high bits to be
dropped.

The fix is to change `i' to unsigned long to match start_aligned
and end_aligned.

Thanks to Jack Steiner for assistance tracking this down.

4998a6c0ed hugetlb: prevent BUG_ON in hugetlb_fault() -> hugetlb_cow()
Commit 66aebce747 ("hugetlb: fix race condition in hugetlb_fault()")
added code to avoid a race condition by elevating the page refcount in
hugetlb_fault() while calling hugetlb_cow().

However, one code path in hugetlb_cow() includes an assertion that the
page count is 1, whereas it may now also have the value 2 in this path.

The consensus is that this BUG_ON has served its purpose, so rather than
extending it to cover both cases, we just remove it.

93278814d3 mm: fix division by 0 in percpu_pagelist_fraction()
percpu_pagelist_fraction_sysctl_handler() has only considered -EINVAL as
a possible error from proc_dointvec_minmax().

If any other error is returned, it would proceed to divide by zero since
percpu_pagelist_fraction wasn't getting initialized at any point.  For
example, writing 0 bytes into the proc file would trigger the issue.

100d13c3b5 kmemleak: Fix the kmemleak tracking of the percpu areas with !SMP
Kmemleak tracks the percpu allocations via a specific API and the
originally allocated areas must be removed from kmemleak (via
kmemleak_free). The code was already doing this for SMP systems.

42b6428145 percpu: pcpu_embed_first_chunk() should free unused parts after all allocs are complete
pcpu_embed_first_chunk() allocates memory for each node, copies percpu
data and frees unused portions of it before proceeding to the next
group.  This assumes that allocations for different nodes doesn't
overlap; however, depending on memory topology, the bootmem allocator
may end up allocating memory from a different node than the requested
one which may overlap with the portion freed from one of the previous
percpu areas.  This leads to percpu groups for different nodes
overlapping which is a serious bug.

This patch separates out copy & partial free from the allocation loop
such that all allocations are complete before partial frees happen.

This also fixes overlapping frees which could happen on allocation
failure path - out_free_areas path frees whole groups but the groups
could have portions freed at that point.

Pull two percpu fixes from Tejun Heo:
 "One adds missing KERN_CONT on split printk()s and the other makes
  the percpu allocator avoid using PMD_SIZE as atom_size on x86_32.

  Using PMD_SIZE led to vmalloc area exhaustion on certain
  configurations (x86_32 android) and the only cost of using PAGE_SIZE
  instead is static percpu area not being aligned to large page
  mapping."

4f74d2c8e8 vm: remove 'nr_accounted' calculations from the unmap_vmas() interfaces
The VM accounting makes no sense at this level, and half of the callers
didn't ever actually use the end result.  The only time we want to
unaccount the memory is when we actually remove the vma, so do the
accounting at that point instead.

This simplifies the interfaces (no need to pass down that silly page
counter to functions that really don't care), and also makes it much
more obvious what is actually going on: we do vm_[un]acct_memory() when
adding or removing the vma, not on random page walking.

This prevents global_dirty_limit from remaining 0 (the initial value)

It will avoid unexpected consequences when some random code use it as a
