The basic idea behind cross memory attach is to allow MPI programs doing
intra-node communication to do a single copy of the message rather than a
double copy of the message via shared memory.
The following patch attempts to achieve this by allowing a destination
process, given an address and size from a source process, to copy memory
directly from the source process into its own address space via a system
call. There is also a symmetrical ability to copy from the current
process's address space into a destination process's address space.
- Use of /proc/pid/mem has been considered, but there are issues with
using it:
- Does not allow for specifying iovecs for both src and dest, assuming
preadv or pwritev was implemented either the area read from or
written to would need to be contiguous.
- Currently mem_read allows only processes who are currently
ptrace'ing the target and are still able to ptrace the target to read
from the target. This check could possibly be moved to the open call,
but its not clear exactly what race this restriction is stopping
(reason appears to have been lost)
- Having to send the fd of /proc/self/mem via SCM_RIGHTS on unix
domain socket is a bit ugly from a userspace point of view,
especially when you may have hundreds if not (eventually) thousands
of processes that all need to do this with each other
- Doesn't allow for some future use of the interface we would like to
consider adding in the future (see below)
- Interestingly reading from /proc/pid/mem currently actually
involves two copies! (But this could be fixed pretty easily)
As mentioned previously use of vmsplice instead was considered, but has
problems. Since you need the reader and writer working co-operatively if
the pipe is not drained then you block. Which requires some wrapping to
do non blocking on the send side or polling on the receive. In all to all
communication it requires ordering otherwise you can deadlock. And in the
example of many MPI tasks writing to one MPI task vmsplice serialises the
copying.
There are some cases of MPI collectives where even a single copy interface
does not get us the performance gain we could. For example in an
MPI_Reduce rather than copy the data from the source we would like to
instead use it directly in a mathops (say the reduce is doing a sum) as
this would save us doing a copy. We don't need to keep a copy of the data
from the source. I haven't implemented this, but I think this interface
could in the future do all this through the use of the flags - eg could
specify the math operation and type and the kernel rather than just
copying the data would apply the specified operation between the source
and destination and store it in the destination.
Although we don't have a "second user" of the interface (though I've had
some nibbles from people who may be interested in using it for intra
process messaging which is not MPI). This interface is something which
hardware vendors are already doing for their custom drivers to implement
fast local communication. And so in addition to this being useful for
OpenMPI it would mean the driver maintainers don't have to fix things up
when the mm changes.
There was some discussion about how much faster a true zero copy would
go. Here's a link back to the email with some testing I did on that:
There is a basic man page for the proposed interface here:
http://ozlabs.org/~cyeoh/cma/process_vm_readv.txt
This has been implemented for x86 and powerpc, other architecture should
mainly (I think) just need to add syscall numbers for the process_vm_readv
and process_vm_writev. There are 32 bit compatibility versions for
64-bit kernels.
For arch maintainers there are some simple tests to be able to quickly
verify that the syscalls are working correctly here:

The current implementation of dmi_name_in_vendors() is an invitation to
lazy coding and false positives [1]. Searching for a string in 8 know
what you're looking for, so you should know where to look. strstr isn't
fast, especially when it fails, so we should avoid calling it when it just
can't succeed.
Looking at the current users of the function, it seems clear to me that
they are looking for a system or board vendor name, so let's limit
dmi_name_in_vendors to these two DMI fields. This much better matches the
function name, BTW.
[1] We currently have code looking for short names in DMI data, such
as "IBM", "ASUS" or "Acer". I let you guess what will happen the day
other vendors ship products named, for example, "SCHREIBMEISTER",

So some 64bit architectures may not be able to access the dqc_bitmap

The current interrupt traces from irq_handler_entry and irq_handler_exit
provide when an interrupt is handled. They provide good data about when
the system has switched to kernel space and how it affects the currently
running processes.
There are some IRQ vectors which trigger the system into kernel space,
which are not handled in generic IRQ handlers. Tracing such events gives
us the information about IRQ interaction with other system events.
The trace also tells where the system is spending its time. We want to
know which cores are handling interrupts and how they are affecting other
processes in the system. Also, the trace provides information about when
the cores are idle and which interrupts are changing that state.
The following patch adds the event definition and trace instrumentation
for interrupt vectors. For x86, a lookup table is provided to print out
readable IRQ vector names. The template can be used to provide interrupt
vector lookup tables on other architectures.

Update kernel-parameters.txt to point users to the authoritative comment
for name_to_dev_t. In addition, updates other places where some
name_to_dev_t behavior was discussed. All other references to root=
appear to be for explicit sample usage or just side comments when
discussing other kernel parameters.

This patch makes two changes:
- check for trailing characters after parsing PARTNROFF=%d
- disable root_wait if a syntax error is seen
The former assures that bad input like
root=PARTUUID=<validuuid>/PARTNROFF=5abc
properly fails by attempting to parse an extra character after the
integer. If the integer is missing, sscanf will fail, but if it is
present, and there is a trailing non-nul character, then the extra
field will be parsed and the error case will be hit.
The latter assures that if rootwait has been specified, the error
message isn't flooded to the screen during rootwait's loop. Instead of
adding printk ratelimiting, root_wait was disabled. This stays true to
the rootwait goal of support asynchronous device arrival while still
providing users with helpful messages. With ratelimiting or disabling
logging on rootwait, a range of edge cases turn up where the user would
not be informed of an error properly.

Expand root=PARTUUID=UUID syntax to support selecting a root partition by
integer offset from a known, unique partition. This approach provides
similar properties to specifying a device and partition number, but using
the UUID as the unique path prior to evaluating the offset.
For example,
root=PARTUUID=99DE9194-FC15-4223-9192-FC243948F88B/PARTNROFF=1
selects the partition with UUID 99DE.. then select the next
partition.
This change is motivated by a particular usecase in Chromium OS where the
bootloader can easily determine what partition it is on (by UUID) but
doesn't perform general partition table walking.
That said, support for this model provides a direct mechanism for the user
to modify the root partition to boot without specifically needing to
extract each UUID or update the bootloader explicitly when the root
partition UUID is changed (if it is recreated to be larger, for instance).
Pinning to a /boot-style partition UUID allows the arbitrary root
partition reconfiguration/modifications with slightly less ambiguity than
just [dev][partition] and less stringency than the specific root partition
UUID.

When send_cpu_listeners() finds the orphaned listener it marks it as
!valid and drops listeners->sem. Before it takes this sem for writing,
s->pid can be reused and add_del_listener() can wrongly try to re-use this
entry.

1. 26c4caea "don't allow duplicate entries in listener mode"
changed add_del_listener(REGISTER) so that "next_cpu:" can
reuse the listener allocated for the previous cpu, this
doesn't look exactly right even if minor.
Change the code to kfree() in the already-registered case,
this case is unlikely anyway so the extra kmalloc_node()
shouldn't hurt but looke more correct and clean.
2. use the plain list_for_each_entry() instead of _safe() to
scan listeners->list.
3. Remove the unneeded INIT_LIST_HEAD(&s->list), we are going
to list_add(&s->list).

As the comment explains, the intention of the code is to clear the
OMAP_RTC_CTRL_MODE_12_24 bit, but instead it only clears the
OMAP_RTC_CTRL_SPLIT and OMAP_RTC_CTRL_AUTO_COMP bits, which should be
kept. OMAP_RTC_CTRL_DISABLE, OMAP_RTC_CTRL_SET_32_COUNTER,
OMAP_RTC_CTRL_TEST, and OMAP_RTC_CTRL_ROUND_30S are also better off
being cleared.

init_fault_attr_dentries() is used to export fault_attr via debugfs. But
it can only export it in debugfs root directory.
Per Forlin is working on mmc_fail_request which adds support to inject
data errors after a completed host transfer in MMC subsystem.
The fault_attr for mmc_fail_request should be defined per mmc host and
export it in debugfs directory per mmc host like
/sys/kernel/debug/mmc0/mmc_fail_request.
init_fault_attr_dentries() doesn't help for mmc_fail_request. So this
introduces fault_create_debugfs_attr() which is able to create a directory
in the arbitrary directory and replace init_fault_attr_dentries().
