Modify the core write() code so that it won't take a pagefault while holding a
lock on the pagecache page. There are a number of different deadlocks possible
if we try to do such a thing:
1. generic_buffered_write
2. lock_page
3. prepare_write
4. unlock_page+vmtruncate
5. copy_from_user
6. mmap_sem(r)
7. handle_mm_fault
8. lock_page (filemap_nopage)
9. commit_write
10. unlock_page
a. sys_munmap / sys_mlock / others
b. mmap_sem(w)
c. make_pages_present
d. get_user_pages
e. handle_mm_fault
f. lock_page (filemap_nopage)
2,8 - recursive deadlock if page is same
2,8;2,8 - ABBA deadlock is page is different
2,6;b,f - ABBA deadlock if page is same
The solution is as follows:
1. If we find the destination page is uptodate, continue as normal, but use
atomic usercopies which do not take pagefaults and do not zero the uncopied
tail of the destination. The destination is already uptodate, so we can
commit_write the full length even if there was a partial copy: it does not
matter that the tail was not modified, because if it is dirtied and written
back to disk it will not cause any problems (uptodate *means* that the
destination page is as new or newer than the copy on disk).
1a. The above requires that fault_in_pages_readable correctly returns access
information, because atomic usercopies cannot distinguish between
non-present pages in a readable mapping, from lack of a readable mapping.
2. If we find the destination page is non uptodate, unlock it (this could be
made slightly more optimal), then allocate a temporary page to copy the
source data into. Relock the destination page and continue with the copy.
However, instead of a usercopy (which might take a fault), copy the data
from the pinned temporary page via the kernel address space.
(also, rename maxlen to seglen, because it was confusing)
This increases the CPU/memory copy cost by almost 50% on the affected
workloads. That will be solved by introducing a new set of pagecache write
aops in a subsequent patch.

Rather than sign direct radix-tree pointers with a special bit, sign the
indirect one that hangs off the root. This means that, given a lookup_slot
operation, the invalid result will be differentiated from the valid
(previously, valid results could have the bit either set or clear).
This does not affect slot lookups which occur under lock -- they can never
return an invalid result. Is needed in future for lockless pagecache.

The commit b5810039a5 contains the note
A last caveat: the ZERO_PAGE is now refcounted and managed with rmap
(and thus mapcounted and count towards shared rss). These writes to
the struct page could cause excessive cacheline bouncing on big
systems. There are a number of ways this could be addressed if it is
an issue.
And indeed this cacheline bouncing has shown up on large SGI systems.
There was a situation where an Altix system was essentially livelocked
tearing down ZERO_PAGE pagetables when an HPC app aborted during startup.
This situation can be avoided in userspace, but it does highlight the
potential scalability problem with refcounting ZERO_PAGE, and corner
cases where it can really hurt (we don't want the system to livelock!).
There are several broad ways to fix this problem:
1. add back some special casing to avoid refcounting ZERO_PAGE
2. per-node or per-cpu ZERO_PAGES
3. remove the ZERO_PAGE completely
I will argue for 3. The others should also fix the problem, but they
result in more complex code than does 3, with little or no real benefit
that I can see.
Why? Inserting a ZERO_PAGE for anonymous read faults appears to be a
false optimisation: if an application is performance critical, it would
not be doing many read faults of new memory, or at least it could be
expected to write to that memory soon afterwards. If cache or memory use
is critical, it should not be working with a significant number of
ZERO_PAGEs anyway (a more compact representation of zeroes should be
used).
As a sanity check -- mesuring on my desktop system, there are never many
mappings to the ZERO_PAGE (eg. 2 or 3), thus memory usage here should not
increase much without it.
When running a make -j4 kernel compile on my dual core system, there are
about 1,000 mappings to the ZERO_PAGE created per second, but about 1,000
ZERO_PAGE COW faults per second (less than 1 ZERO_PAGE mapping per second
is torn down without being COWed). So removing ZERO_PAGE will save 1,000
page faults per second when running kbuild, while keeping it only saves
less than 1 page clearing operation per second. 1 page clear is cheaper
than a thousand faults, presumably, so there isn't an obvious loss.
Neither the logical argument nor these basic tests give a guarantee of no
regressions. However, this is a reasonable opportunity to try to remove
the ZERO_PAGE from the pagefault path. If it is found to cause regressions,
we can reintroduce it and just avoid refcounting it.
The /dev/zero ZERO_PAGE usage and TLB tricks also get nuked. I don't see
much use to them except on benchmarks. All other users of ZERO_PAGE are
converted just to use ZERO_PAGE(0) for simplicity. We can look at
replacing them all and maybe ripping out ZERO_PAGE completely when we are
more satisfied with this solution.

This gets rid of all kmalloc caches larger than page size. A kmalloc
request larger than PAGE_SIZE > 2 is going to be passed through to the page
allocator. This works both inline where we will call __get_free_pages
instead of kmem_cache_alloc and in __kmalloc.
kfree is modified to check if the object is in a slab page. If not then
the page is freed via the page allocator instead. Roughly similar to what
SLOB does.
Advantages:
- Reduces memory overhead for kmalloc array
- Large kmalloc operations are faster since they do not
need to pass through the slab allocator to get to the
page allocator.
- Performance increase of 10%-20% on alloc and 50% on free for
PAGE_SIZEd allocations.
SLUB must call page allocator for each alloc anyways since
the higher order pages which that allowed avoiding the page alloc calls
are not available in a reliable way anymore. So we are basically removing
useless slab allocator overhead.
- Large kmallocs yields page aligned object which is what
SLAB did. Bad things like using page sized kmalloc allocations to
stand in for page allocate allocs can be transparently handled and are not
distinguishable from page allocator uses.
- Checking for too large objects can be removed since
it is done by the page allocator.
Drawbacks:
- No accounting for large kmalloc slab allocations anymore
- No debugging of large kmalloc slab allocations.

SPARSEMEM is a pretty nice framework that unifies quite a bit of code over all
the arches. It would be great if it could be the default so that we can get
rid of various forms of DISCONTIG and other variations on memory maps. So far
what has hindered this are the additional lookups that SPARSEMEM introduces
for virt_to_page and page_address. This goes so far that the code to do this
has to be kept in a separate function and cannot be used inline.
This patch introduces a virtual memmap mode for SPARSEMEM, in which the memmap
is mapped into a virtually contigious area, only the active sections are
physically backed. This allows virt_to_page page_address and cohorts become
simple shift/add operations. No page flag fields, no table lookups, nothing
involving memory is required.
The two key operations pfn_to_page and page_to_page become:
#define __pfn_to_page(pfn) (vmemmap + (pfn))
#define __page_to_pfn(page) ((page) - vmemmap)
By having a virtual mapping for the memmap we allow simple access without
wasting physical memory. As kernel memory is typically already mapped 1:1
this introduces no additional overhead. The virtual mapping must be big
enough to allow a struct page to be allocated and mapped for all valid
physical pages. This vill make a virtual memmap difficult to use on 32 bit
platforms that support 36 address bits.
However, if there is enough virtual space available and the arch already maps
its 1-1 kernel space using TLBs (f.e. true of IA64 and x86_64) then this
technique makes SPARSEMEM lookups even more efficient than CONFIG_FLATMEM.
FLATMEM needs to read the contents of the mem_map variable to get the start of
the memmap and then add the offset to the required entry. vmemmap is a
constant to which we can simply add the offset.
This patch has the potential to allow us to make SPARSMEM the default (and
even the only) option for most systems. It should be optimal on UP, SMP and
NUMA on most platforms. Then we may even be able to remove the other memory
models: FLATMEM, DISCONTIG etc.

We have flags to indicate whether a section actually has a valid mem_map
associated with it. This is never set and we rely solely on the present bit
to indicate a section is valid. By definition a section is not valid if it
has no mem_map and there is a window during init where the present bit is set
but there is no mem_map, during which pfn_valid() will return true
incorrectly.
Use the existing SECTION_HAS_MEM_MAP flag to indicate the presence of a valid
mem_map. Switch valid_section{,_nr} and pfn_valid() to this bit. Add a new
present_section{,_nr} and pfn_present() interfaces for those users who care to
know that a section is going to be valid.

With all the users of the double pointers removed, this patch mops up by
finally replacing all occurances of sk_buff ** in the netfilter API by
sk_buff *.

Now that all callers of netfilter can guarantee that the skb is not shared,
we no longer have to copy the skb in skb_make_writable.

This patch creates a new function skb_morph that's just like skb_clone
except that it lets user provide the spare skb that will be overwritten
by the one that's to be cloned.
This will be used by IP fragment reassembly so that we get back the same
skb that went in last (rather than the head skb that we get now which
requires us to carry around double pointers all over the place).

modify account_system_time() to add cputime to cpustat->guest if we are
running a VCPU. We add this cputime to cpustat->user instead of
cpustat->system because this part of KVM code is in fact user code
although it is executed in the kernel. We duplicate VCPU time between
guest and user to allow an unmodified "top(1)" to display correct value.
A modified "top(1)" is able to display good cpu user time and cpu guest
time by subtracting cpu guest time from cpu user time. Update "gtime" in
task_struct accordingly.

like for cpustat, introduce the "gtime" (guest time of the task) and
"cgtime" (guest time of the task children) fields for the
tasks. Modify signal_struct and task_struct.
Modify /proc/<pid>/stat to display these new fields.

as recent CPUs introduce a third running state, after "user" and
"system", we need a new field, "guest", in cpustat to store the time
used by the CPU to run virtual CPU. Modify /proc/stat to display this
new field.

most multicore CPUs today have shared L2 caches, so tune things so
that the spreading amongst cores is more aggressive.

reintroduce a simplified version of cache-hot/cold scheduling
affinity. This improves performance with certain SMP workloads,
such as sysbench.

Prevent wakeup over-scheduling. Once a task has been preempted by a
task of the same or lower priority, it becomes ineligible for repeated
preemption by same until it has been ticked, or slept. Instead, the
task is marked for preemption at the next tick. Tasks of higher
priority still preempt immediately.
