2012-05-09percpu: pcpu_embed_first_chunk() should free unused parts after all allocs ↵Tejun Heo
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.

2011-12-15percpu: fix per_cpu_ptr_to_phys() handling of non-page-aligned addressesEugene Surovegin
per_cpu_ptr_to_phys() incorrectly rounds up its result for non-kmalloc case to the page boundary, which is bogus for any non-page-aligned address. This affects the only in-tree user of this function - sysfs handler for per-cpu 'crash_notes' physical address. The trouble is that the crash_notes per-cpu variable is not page-aligned: crash_notes = 0xc08e8ed4 PER-CPU OFFSET VALUES: CPU 0: 3711f000 CPU 1: 37129000 CPU 2: 37133000 CPU 3: 3713d000 So, the per-cpu addresses are: crash_notes on CPU 0: f7a07ed4 => phys 36b57ed4 crash_notes on CPU 1: f7a11ed4 => phys 36b4ded4 crash_notes on CPU 2: f7a1bed4 => phys 36b43ed4 crash_notes on CPU 3: f7a25ed4 => phys 36b39ed4 However, /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu*/crash_notes says: /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/crash_notes: 36b57000 /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu1/crash_notes: 36b4d000 /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu2/crash_notes: 36b43000 /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu3/crash_notes: 36b39000 As you can see, all values are rounded down to a page boundary. Consequently, this is where kexec sets up the NOTE segments, and thus where the secondary kernel is looking for them. However, when the first kernel crashes, it saves the notes to the unaligned addresses, where they are not found. Fix it by adding offset_in_page() to the translated page address. -tj: Combined Eugene's and Petr's commit messages.

2011-11-22percpu: fix chunk range calculationTejun Heo
Percpu allocator recorded the cpus which map to the first and last units in pcpu_first/last_unit_cpu respectively and used them to determine the address range of a chunk - e.g. it assumed that the first unit has the lowest address in a chunk while the last unit has the highest address. This simply isn't true. Groups in a chunk can have arbitrary positive or negative offsets from the previous one and there is no guarantee that the first unit occupies the lowest offset while the last one the highest. Fix it by actually comparing unit offsets to determine cpus occupying the lowest and highest offsets. Also, rename pcu_first/last_unit_cpu to pcpu_low/high_unit_cpu to avoid confusion. The chunk address range is used to flush cache on vmalloc area map/unmap and decide whether a given address is in the first chunk by per_cpu_ptr_to_phys() and the bug was discovered by invalid per_cpu_ptr_to_phys() translation for crash_note.

2011-03-28NOMMU: percpu should use is_vmalloc_addr().David Howells
per_cpu_ptr_to_phys() uses VMALLOC_START and VMALLOC_END to determine if an address is in the vmalloc() region or not. This is incorrect on NOMMU as there is no real vmalloc() capability (vmalloc() is emulated by kmalloc()). The correct way to do this is to use is_vmalloc_addr(). This encapsulates the vmalloc() region test in MMU mode and just returns 0 in NOMMU mode. On FRV in NOMMU mode, the percpu compilation fails without this patch: mm/percpu.c: In function 'per_cpu_ptr_to_phys': mm/percpu.c:1011: error: 'VMALLOC_START' undeclared (first use in this function) mm/percpu.c:1011: error: (Each undeclared identifier is reported only once mm/percpu.c:1011: error: for each function it appears in.) mm/percpu.c:1012: error: 'VMALLOC_END' undeclared (first use in this function) mm/percpu.c:1018: warning: control reaches end of non-void function Signed-off-by: David Howells <dhowells@redhat.com>
2011-03-24percpu: Always align percpu output section to PAGE_SIZETejun Heo
Percpu allocator honors alignment request upto PAGE_SIZE and both the percpu addresses in the percpu address space and the translated kernel addresses should be aligned accordingly. The calculation of the former depends on the alignment of percpu output section in the kernel image. The linker script macros PERCPU_VADDR() and PERCPU() are used to define this output section and the latter takes @align parameter. Several architectures are using @align smaller than PAGE_SIZE breaking percpu memory alignment. This patch removes @align parameter from PERCPU(), renames it to PERCPU_SECTION() and makes it always align to PAGE_SIZE. While at it, add PCPU_SETUP_BUG_ON() checks such that alignment problems are reliably detected and remove percpu alignment comment recently added in workqueue.c as the condition would trigger BUG way before reaching there. For um, this patch raises the alignment of percpu area. As the area is in .init, there shouldn't be any noticeable difference. This problem was discovered by David Howells while debugging boot failure on mn10300.

2010-09-21percpu: fix pcpu_last_unit_cpuTejun Heo
pcpu_first/last_unit_cpu are used to track which cpu has the first and last units assigned. This in turn is used to determine the span of a chunk for man/unmap cache flushes and whether an address belongs to the first chunk or not in per_cpu_ptr_to_phys(). When the number of possible CPUs isn't power of two, a chunk may contain unassigned units towards the end of a chunk. The logic to determine pcpu_last_unit_cpu was incorrect when there was an unused unit at the end of a chunk. It failed to ignore the unused unit and assigned the unused marker NR_CPUS to pcpu_last_unit_cpu. This was discovered through kdump failure which was caused by malfunctioning per_cpu_ptr_to_phys() on a kvm setup with 50 possible CPUs by CAI Qian.

2010-09-08percpu: use percpu allocator on UP tooTejun Heo
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.

When an adress from another cpu was passed in, it will always determine that the address doesn't belong to the first chunk even when it does.

2010-05-01percpu: implement kernel memory based chunk allocationTejun Heo
Implement an alternate percpu chunk management based on kernel memeory for nommu SMP architectures. Instead of mapping into vmalloc area, chunks are allocated as a contiguous kernel memory using alloc_pages(). As such, percpu allocator on nommu will have the following restrictions. * It can't fill chunks on-demand page-by-page. It has to allocate each chunk fully upfront. * It can't support sparse chunk for NUMA configurations. SMP w/o mmu is crazy enough. Let's hope no one does NUMA w/o mmu. :-P * If chunk size isn't power-of-two multiple of PAGE_SIZE, the unaligned amount will be wasted on each chunk. So, archs which use this better align chunk size.

2010-05-01percpu: reorganize chunk creation and destructionTejun Heo
Reorganize alloc/free_pcpu_chunk() such that chunk struct alloc/free live in pcpu_alloc/free_chunk() and the rest in pcpu_create/destroy_chunk(). While at it, add missing error handling for chunk->map allocation failure. This is to allow alternate chunk management implementation for percpu nommu support.

2010-03-29percpu, module: implement and use is_kernel/module_percpu_address()Tejun Heo
lockdep has custom code to check whether a pointer belongs to static percpu area which is somewhat broken. Implement proper is_kernel/module_percpu_address() and replace the custom code. On UP, percpu variables are regular static variables and can't be distinguished from them. Always return %false on UP.

Add __percpu sparse annotations to core subsystems. These annotations are to make sparse consider percpu variables to be in a different address space and warn if accessed without going through percpu accessors. This patch doesn't affect normal builds.

__pcpu_ptr_to_addr() can be overridden by the architecture and might not behave well if passed a NULL pointer. So avoid calling it until we have verified that its arg is not NULL.

2009-11-25percpu: Fix kdump failure if booted with percpu_alloc=pageVivek Goyal
o kdump functionality reserves a per cpu area at boot time and exports the physical address of that area to user space through sys interface. This area stores some dump related information like cpu register states etc at the time of crash. o We were assuming that per cpu area always come from linearly mapped meory region and using __pa() to determine physical address. With percpu_alloc=page, per cpu area can come from vmalloc region also and __pa() breaks. o This patch implments a new function to convert per cpu address to physical address. Before the patch, crash_notes addresses looked as follows. cpu0 60fffff49800 cpu1 60fffff60800 cpu2 60fffff77800 These are bogus phsyical addresses. After the patch, address are following. cpu0 13eb44000 cpu1 13eb43000 cpu2 13eb42000 cpu3 13eb41000 These look fine. I got 4G of memory and /proc/iomem tell me following. 100000000-13fffffff : System RAM tj: * added missing asm/io.h include reported by Stephen Rothwell * repositioned per_cpu_ptr_phys() in percpu.c and added comment.

2009-11-13percpu: restructure pcpu_extend_area_map() to fix bugs and improve readabilityTejun Heo
pcpu_extend_area_map() had the following two bugs. * It should return 1 if pcpu_lock was dropped and reacquired but it returned 0. This could lead to oops if free_percpu() races with area map extension. * pcpu_mem_free() was called under pcpu_lock. pcpu_mem_free() might end up calling vfree() which isn't IRQ safe. This could lead to deadlock through lock order inversion via IRQ. In addition, Linus pointed out that the temporary lock dropping and subtle three-way return value of pcpu_extend_area_map() was very ugly and suggested to split the function into two - pcpu_need_to_extend() and pcpu_extend_area_map(). This patch restructures pcpu_extend_area_map() as suggested and fixes the two bugs.
