numa: update Documentation/vm/numa, add memoryless node info
Kamezawa Hiroyuki requested documentation for the numa_mem_id() and slab
related changes. He suggested Documentation/vm/numa for this
documentation. Looking at this file, it seems to me to be hopelessly out
of date relative to current Linux NUMA support. At the risk of going down
a rathole, I have made an attempt to rewrite the doc at a slightly higher
level [I think] and provide pointers to other in-tree documents and
out-of-tree man pages that cover the details.
Let the games begin.

numa: slab: use numa_mem_id() for slab local memory node
Example usage of generic "numa_mem_id()":
The mainline slab code, since ~ 2.6.19, does not handle memoryless nodes
well. Specifically, the "fast path"--____cache_alloc()--will never
succeed as slab doesn't cache offnode object on the per cpu queues, and
for memoryless nodes, all memory will be "off node" relative to
numa_node_id(). This adds significant overhead to all kmem cache
allocations, incurring a significant regression relative to earlier
kernels [from before slab.c was reorganized].
This patch uses the generic topology function "numa_mem_id()" to return
the "effective local memory node" for the calling context. This is the
first node in the local node's generic fallback zonelist-- the same node
that "local" mempolicy-based allocations would use. This lets slab cache
these "local" allocations and avoid fallback/refill on every allocation.
N.B.: Slab will need to handle node and memory hotplug events that could
change the value returned by numa_mem_id() for any given node if recent
changes to address memory hotplug don't already address this. E.g., flush
all per cpu slab queues before rebuilding the zonelists while the
"machine" is held in the stopped state.

The slowdown of the patched kernel from ~12 sec to ~28 seconds when

a single node's mm pagepool. The cache lines of the single node are
distributed/interleaved over the memory of the real physical nodes, but
the zone lock, list heads, ... of the single node with memory still each
live in a single cache line that is accessed from all processors.

Rework the generic version of the numa_node_id() function to use the new

Archs which support this new implemention will default this option to 'y'

archs switch over to the generic percpu implementation of numa_node_id().
Arch support involves:
1) converting any existing per cpu variable implementations to use
this implementation. x86_64 is an instance of such an arch.
2) archs that don't use a per cpu variable for numa_node_id() will
need to initialize the new per cpu variable "numa_node" as cpus
are brought on-line. ia64 is an example.
3) Defining USE_PERCPU_NUMA_NODE_ID in arch dependent Kconfig--e.g.,
when NUMA is configured. This is required because I have
retained the old implementation by default to allow archs to
be modified incrementally, as desired.

Do not use the fallback default_llseek() if the readdir operation of the
filesystem still uses the big kernel lock.
Since llseek() modifies
file->f_pos of the directory directly it may need locking to not confuse
readdir which usually uses file->f_pos directly as well
Since the special characteristics of the BKL (unlocked on schedule) are
not necessary in this case, the inode mutex can be used for locking as
provided by generic_file_llseek(). This is only possible since all
filesystems, except reiserfs, either use a directory as a flat file or
with disk address offsets. Reiserfs on the other hand uses a 32bit hash
off the filename as the offset so generic_file_llseek() can get used as
well since the hash is always smaller than sb->s_maxbytes (= (512 << 32) -
blocksize).

lktdm: add support for hardlockup, softlockup and hung task crashes
This adds three new types of kernel "crashes" in the lkdtm driver to
trigger hardlockups, softlockups and task hung states at will.
The first two are useful to test the new generic lockup detector and check
its further regressions. The latter one is a bonus to check the hung task
detector regressions even though it's not currently in rework.

aio: fix the compat vectored operations
The aio compat code was not converting the struct iovecs from 32bit to
64bit pointers, causing either EINVAL to be returned from io_getevents, or
EFAULT as the result of the I/O. This patch passes a compat flag to
io_submit to signal that pointer conversion is necessary for a given iocb
array.
A variant of this was tested by Michael Tokarev. I have also updated the
libaio test harness to exercise this code path with good success.
Further, I grabbed a copy of ltp and ran the
testcases/kernel/syscall/readv and writev tests there (compiled with -m32
on my 64bit system). All seems happy, but extra eyes on this would be
welcome.

Most distros turn the console verbosity down and that means a backtrace
after a panic never makes it to the console. I assume we haven't seen
this because a panic is often preceeded by an oops which will have called
console_verbose. There are however a lot of places we call panic

lib/random32: export pseudo-random number generator for modules
This patch moves the definition of struct rnd_state and the inline
__seed() function to linux/random.h. It renames the static __random32()
function to prandom32() and exports it for use in modules.
prandom32() is useful as a privately-seeded pseudo random number generator
that can give the same result every time it is initialized.
For FCoE FC-BB-6 VN2VN mode self-selected unique FC address generation, we
need an pseudo-random number generator seeded with the 64-bit world-wide
port name. A truly random generator or one seeded with randomness won't
do because the same sequence of numbers should be generated each time we
boot or the link comes up.
A prandom32_seed() inline function is added to the header file. It is
inlined not for speed, but so the function won't be expanded in the base
kernel, but only in the module that uses it.

pids: init_struct_pid.tasks should never see the swapper process
"statically initialize struct pid for swapper" commit 820e45db says:
Statically initialize a struct pid for the swapper process (pid_t == 0)
and attach it to init_task. This is needed so task_pid(), task_pgrp()
and task_session() interfaces work on the swapper process also.
OK, but:
- it doesn't make sense to add init_task.pids[].node into
init_struct_pid.tasks[], and in fact this just wrong.
idle threads are special, they shouldn't be visible on any
global list. In particular do_each_pid_task(init_struct_pid)
shouldn't see swapper.
This is the actual reason why kill(0, SIGKILL) from /sbin/init
(which starts with 0,0 special pids) crashes the kernel. The
signal sent to pgid/sid == 0 must never see idle threads, even
if the previous patch fixed the crash itself.
- we have other idle threads running on the non-boot CPUs, see
the next patch.
Change INIT_STRUCT_PID/INIT_PID_LINK to create the empty/unhashed
hlist_head/hlist_node. Like any other idle thread swapper can never exit,
so detach_pid()->__hlist_del() is not possible, but we could change
INIT_PID_LINK() to set pprev = &next if needed.
All we need is the valid swapper->pids[].pid == &init_struct_pid.

maintain a pointer to a PNP device, 'pnp_dev', instead of the ACPI device,
'acpi_dev', that is currently being tracked with PNP based IPMI device
discovery.

ipmi: change timeout and event poll to one second
The timeouts in IPMI are in the 1-5 second range in message handling, so a
1 second timeout is a reasonable thing to do. This should help with
reducing power consumption on idle systems.

ipmi: attempt to register multiple SIs of the same type
Some odd systems may have multiple BMCs, and we want to be able to support
them. Let's make the assumption that if a system legitimately has
multiple BMCs then each BMC's SI will be of the same type, and also that
we won't see multiple SIs of the same type unless we have multiple BMCs.
If these hold true then we should register all SIs of the same type.

ipmi: reduce polling when interrupts are available
If we're not currently in the middle of a transaction, and if we have
interrupts, there's no real reason to poll the controller more frequently
than the core IPMI code does. Set the interrupt_disabled flag
appropriately as the interrupt state changes, and make the timeout code
reset itself only if the transaction is incomplete or we have no
interrupts.

The ipmi spec provides an ordering for si discovery. Change the driver to

ipc/sem.c: update description of the implementation
ipc/sem.c begins with a 15 year old description about bugs in the initial
implementation in Linux-1.0. The patch replaces that with a top level
description of the current code.
A TODO could be derived from this text:
The opengroup man page for semop() does not mandate FIFO. Thus there is
no need for a semaphore array list of pending operations.
If
- this list is removed
- the per-semaphore array spinlock is removed (possible if there is no
list to protect)
- sem_otime is moved into the semaphores and calculated on demand during
semctl()
then the array would be read-mostly - which would significantly improve
scaling for applications that use semaphore arrays with lots of entries.

ipc/sem.c: move wake_up_process out of the spinlock section
The wake-up part of semtimedop() consists out of two steps:
- the right tasks must be identified.
- they must be woken up.
Right now, both steps run while the array spinlock is held. This patch
reorders the code and moves the actual wake_up_process() behind the point
where the spinlock is dropped.
The code also moves setting sem->sem_otime to one place: It does not make
sense to set the last modify time multiple times.

ipc/sem.c: optimize update_queue() for bulk wakeup calls
The following series of patches tries to fix the spinlock contention
reported by Chris Mason - his benchmark exposes problems of the current
code:
- In the worst case, the algorithm used by update_queue() is O(N^2).
Bulk wake-up calls can enter this worst case. The patch series fix
that.
Note that the benchmark app doesn't expose the problem, it just should
be fixed: Real world apps might do the wake-ups in another order than
perfect FIFO.
- The part of the code that runs within the semaphore array spinlock is
significantly larger than necessary.
The patch series fixes that. This change is responsible for the main
improvement.
- The cacheline with the spinlock is also used for a variable that is
read in the hot path (sem_base) and for a variable that is unnecessarily
written to multiple times (sem_otime). The last step of the series
cacheline-aligns the spinlock.
This patch:
The SysV semaphore code allows to perform multiple operations on all
semaphores in the array as atomic operations. After a modification,
update_queue() checks which of the waiting tasks can complete.
The algorithm that is used to identify the tasks is O(N^2) in the worst
case. For some cases, it is simple to avoid the O(N^2).
The patch adds a detection logic for some cases, especially for the case
of an array where all sleeping tasks are single sembuf operations and a
multi-sembuf operation is used to wake up multiple tasks.
A big database application uses that approach.
The patch fixes wakeup due to semctl(,,SETALL,) - the initial version of
the patch breaks that.

idr: fix backtrack logic in idr_remove_all
Currently idr_remove_all will fail with a use after free error if
idr::layers is bigger than 2, which on 32 bit systems corresponds to items
more than 1024. This is due to stepping back too many levels during
backtracking. For simplicity let's assume that IDR_BITS=1 -> we have 2
nodes at each level below the root node and each leaf node stores two IDs.
(In reality for 32 bit systems IDR_BITS=5, with 32 nodes at each sub-root
level and 32 IDs in each leaf node). The sequence of freeing the nodes at
the moment is as follows:
Until step 4 things go fine, but then node c is freed, whereas node g
should be freed first. Since node c contains the pointer to node g we'll
have a use after free error at step 6.
How many levels we step back after visiting the leaf nodes is currently
determined by the msb of the id we are currently visiting:
Step
1. node d with IDs 0,1 is freed, current ID is advanced to 2.
msb of the current ID bit 1. This means we need to step back
1 level to node b and take the next sibling, node e.
2-3. node e with IDs 2,3 is freed, current ID is 4, msb is bit 2.
This means we need to step back 2 levels to node a, freeing
node b on the way.
4-5. node f with IDs 4,5 is freed, current ID is 6, msb is still
bit 2. This means we again need to step back 2 levels to node
a and free c on the way.
6. We should visit node g, but its pointer is not available as
node c was freed.
The fix changes how we determine the number of levels to step back.
Instead of deducting this merely from the msb of the current ID, we should
really check if advancing the ID causes an overflow to a bit position
corresponding to a given layer. In the above example overflow from bit 0
to bit 1 should mean stepping back 1 level. Overflow from bit 1 to bit 2
should mean stepping back 2 levels and so on.
The fix was tested with IDs up to 1 << 20, which corresponds to 4 layers
on 32 bit systems.
