Commit 681cc5cd3e ("iommu sg merging:
swiotlb: respect the segment boundary limits") introduced two
possibilities for entering an endless loop in lib/swiotlb.c:
- if max_slots is zero (possible if mask is ~0UL)
- if the number of slots requested fits into a swiotlb segment, but is
too large for the part of a segment which remains after considering
offset_slots
This fixes them

iommu_is_span_boundary is used internally in the IOMMU helper
(lib/iommu-helper.c), a primitive function that judges whether a memory area
spans LLD's segment boundary or not.
It's difficult to convert some IOMMUs to use the IOMMU helper but
iommu_is_span_boundary is still useful for them. So this patch exports it.
This is needed for the parisc iommu fixes.

kset_initialize was calling kobject_init_internal() which didn't
initialize the kobject as well as kobject_init() was. So have
kobject_init() call kobject_init_internal() and move the logic to
initalize the kobject there.

In arch/x86/boot/printf.c gets rid of unused tail of digits: const char
*digits = "0123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz"; (we are using 0-9a-f
only)
Uses smaller/faster lowercasing (by ORing with 0x20)
if we know that we work on numbers/digits. Makes
strtoul smaller, and also we are getting rid of
static const char small_digits[] = "0123456789abcdefx";
static const char large_digits[] = "0123456789ABCDEFX";
since this works equally well:
static const char digits[16] = "0123456789ABCDEF";
Size savings:
$ size vmlinux.org vmlinux

It may be also a tiny bit faster because code has less

Currently, for every sysfs node, the callers will be responsible for
implementing store operation, so many many callers are doing duplicate
things to validate input, they have the same mistakes because they are
calling simple_strtol/ul/ll/uul, especially for module params, they are
just numeric, but you can echo such values as 0x1234xxx, 07777888 and
1234aaa, for these cases, module params store operation just ignores
succesive invalid char and converts prefix part to a numeric although input
is acctually invalid.
This patch tries to fix the aforementioned issues and implements
strict_strtox serial functions, kernel/params.c uses them to strictly
validate input, so module params will reject such values as 0x1234xxxx and
returns an error:
write error: Invalid argument
Any modules which export numeric sysfs node can use strict_strtox instead of
simple_strtox to reject any invalid input.
Here are some test results:

The statistics provided here allow the monitoring of allocator behavior but
at the cost of some (minimal) loss of performance. Counters are placed in
SLUB's per cpu data structure. The per cpu structure may be extended by the
statistics to grow larger than one cacheline which will increase the cache
footprint of SLUB.
There is a compile option to enable/disable the inclusion of the runtime
statistics and its off by default.
The slabinfo tool is enhanced to support these statistics via two options:
-D Switches the line of information displayed for a slab from size
mode to activity mode.
-A Sorts the slabs displayed by activity. This allows the display of
the slabs most important to the performance of a certain load.
-r Report option will report detailed statistics on
Example (tbench load):

Add Partial: Number of slabs added to the partial list through free or
alloc (occurs during cpuslab flushes)
Remove Partial: Number of slabs removed from the partial list as a result of
allocations retrieving a partial slab or by a free freeing
the last object of a slab.
RemoteObj/Froz: How many times were remotely freed object encountered when a
slab was about to be deactivated. Frozen: How many times was
free able to skip list processing because the slab was in use
as the cpuslab of another processor.
Flushes: Number of times the cpuslab was flushed on request
(kmem_cache_shrink, may result from races in __slab_alloc)
Refill: Number of times we were able to refill the cpuslab from
remotely freed objects for the same slab.
Deactivate: Statistics how slabs were deactivated. Shows how they were
put onto the partial list.
In general fastpath is very good. Slowpath without partial list processing is
also desirable. Any touching of partial list uses node specific locks which
may potentially cause list lock contention.

Most pagecache (and some other) radix tree insertions have the great
opportunity to preallocate a few nodes with relaxed gfp flags. But the
preallocation is squandered when it comes time to allocate a node, we
default to first attempting a GFP_ATOMIC allocation -- that doesn't
normally fail, but it can eat into atomic memory reserves that we don't
need to be using.
Another upshot of this is that it removes the sometimes highly contended
zone->lock from underneath tree_lock. Pagecache insertions are always
performed with a radix tree preload, and after this change, such a
situation will never fall back to kmem_cache_alloc within
radix_tree_node_alloc.
David Miller reports seeing this allocation fail on a highly threaded
sparc64 system:

The calltrace is significant: __do_page_cache_readahead allocates a number
of pages with GFP_KERNEL, and hence it should have reclaimed sufficient
memory to satisfy GFP_ATOMIC allocations. However after the list of pages
goes to mpage_readpages, there can be significant intervals (including disk
IO) before all the pages are inserted into the radix-tree. So the reserves
can easily be depleted at that point. The patch is confirmed to fix the
problem.

This patch adds a new configuration option, which adds support for a new
early_param which gets checked in arch/x86/kernel/setup_{32,64}.c:setup_arch()
to decide wether OHCI-1394 FireWire controllers should be initialized and
enabled for physical DMA access to allow remote debugging of early problems
like issues ACPI or other subsystems which are executed very early.
If the config option is not enabled, no code is changed, and if the boot
paramenter is not given, no new code is executed, and independent of that,
all new code is freed after boot, so the config option can be even enabled
in standard, non-debug kernels.
With specialized tools, it is then possible to get debugging information
from machines which have no serial ports (notebooks) such as the printk
buffer contents, or any data which can be referenced from global pointers,
if it is stored below the 4GB limit and even memory dumps of of the physical
RAM region below the 4GB limit can be taken without any cooperation from the
CPU of the host, so the machine can be crashed early, it does not matter.
In the extreme, even kernel debuggers can be accessed in this way. I wrote
a small kgdb module and an accompanying gdb stub for FireWire which allows
to gdb to talk to kgdb using remote remory reads and writes over FireWire.
An version of the gdb stub fore FireWire is able to read all global data
from a system which is running a a normal kernel without any kernel debugger,
without any interruption or support of the system's CPU. That way, e.g. the
task struct and so on can be read and even manipulated when the physical DMA
access is granted.

During the work on the x86 32 and 64 bit backtrace code I found it useful
to have a simple test module to test a process and irq context backtrace.
Since the existing backtrace code was buggy, I figure it might be useful
to have such a test module in the kernel so that maybe we can even

verify if kprobes, jprobes and kretprobes run fine on the kernel. In case
of an error, it'll print out a message with a "BUG" prefix.
This is a start; we intend to add more tests to this bucket over time.
Thanks to Jim Keniston and Masami Hiramatsu for comments and suggestions.
Tested on x86 (32/64) and powerpc.

Before pushing pcounter to Linus tree, I would like to make some adjustments.
Goal is to reduce kernel text size, by unlining too big functions.
When a pcounter is bound to a statically defined per_cpu variable,
we define two small helpers functions. (No more folding function
using the fat for_each_possible_cpu(cpu) ... )
static DEFINE_PER_CPU(int, NAME##_pcounter_values);
static void NAME##_pcounter_add(struct pcounter *self, int val)
{
__get_cpu_var(NAME##_pcounter_values) += val;
}
static int NAME##_pcounter_getval(const struct pcounter *self, int cpu)
{
return per_cpu(NAME##_pcounter_values, cpu);
}
Fast path is therefore unchanged, while folding/alloc/free is now unlined.
This saves 228 bytes on i386

If the config option CONFIG_SECTION_MISMATCH is not set and
we see a Section mismatch present the following to the user:
modpost: Found 1 section mismatch(es).
To see additional details select "Enable full Section mismatch analysis"
in the Kernel Hacking menu (CONFIG_SECTION_MISMATCH).
If the option CONFIG_SECTION_MISMATCH is selected
then be verbose in the Section mismatch reporting from mdopost.
Sample outputs:
WARNING: o-x86_64/vmlinux.o(.text+0x7396): Section mismatch in reference from the function discover_ebda() to the variable .init.data:ebda_addr
The function discover_ebda() references
the variable __initdata ebda_addr.
This is often because discover_ebda lacks a __initdata
annotation or the annotation of ebda_addr is wrong.
WARNING: o-x86_64/vmlinux.o(.data+0x74d58): Section mismatch in reference from the variable pci_serial_quirks to the function .devexit.text:pci_plx9050_exit()
The variable pci_serial_quirks references
the function __devexit pci_plx9050_exit()
If the reference is valid then annotate the
variable with __exit* (see linux/init.h) or name the variable:
*driver, *_template, *_timer, *_sht, *_ops, *_probe, *_probe_one, *_console,
WARNING: o-x86_64/vmlinux.o(__ksymtab+0x630): Section mismatch in reference from the variable __ksymtab_arch_register_cpu to the function .cpuinit.text:arch_register_cpu()
The symbol arch_register_cpu is exported and annotated __cpuinit
Fix this by removing the __cpuinit annotation of arch_register_cpu or drop the export.

Setting the option DEBUG_SECTION_MISMATCH will
report additional section mismatch'es but this
should in the end makes it possible to get rid of
all of them.

SCSI sg table allocation has a maximum size (of SCSI_MAX_SG_SEGMENTS,
currently 128) and this will cause a BUG_ON() in SCSI if something
tries an allocation over it. This patch adds a size limit to the
chaining allocator to allow the specification of the maximum
allocation size for chaining, so we always chain in units of the
maximum SCSI allocation size.

All kobjects require a dynamically allocated name now. We no longer

We save the current state in the object itself, so we can do proper
cleanup when the last reference is dropped.
If the initial reference is dropped, the object will be removed from
sysfs if needed, if an "add" event was sent, "remove" will be send, and
the allocated resources are released.
This allows us to clean up some driver core usage as well as allowing us
to do other such changes to the rest of the kernel.

The function is no longer used by anyone in the kernel, and it prevents
the proper sending of the kobject uevent after the needed files are set
up by the caller. kobject_init_and_add() can be used in its place.
