* xen: remove tmem driverJuergen Gross2019-07-171-10/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | | The Xen tmem (transcendent memory) driver can be removed, as the related Xen hypervisor feature never made it past the "experimental" state and will be removed in future Xen versions (>= 4.13). The xen-selfballoon driver depends on tmem, so it can be removed, too.

* Revert "xen/balloon: Mark unallocated host memory as UNUSABLE"Igor Druzhinin2018-11-291-5/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This reverts commit b3cf8528bb21febb650a7ecbf080d0647be40b9f. That commit unintentionally broke Xen balloon memory hotplug with "hotplug_unpopulated" set to 1. As long as "System RAM" resource got assigned under a new "Unusable memory" resource in IO/Mem tree any attempt to online this memory would fail due to general kernel restrictions on having "System RAM" resources as 1st level only. The original issue that commit has tried to workaround fa564ad96366 ("x86/PCI: Enable a 64bit BAR on AMD Family 15h (Models 00-1f, 30-3f, 60-7f)") also got amended by the following 03a551734 ("x86/PCI: Move and shrink AMD 64-bit window to avoid conflict") which made the original fix to Xen ballooning unnecessary.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Commit f5775e0b6116 ("x86/xen: discard RAM regions above the maximum reservation") left host memory not assigned to dom0 as available for memory hotplug. Unfortunately this also meant that those regions could be used by others. Specifically, commit fa564ad96366 ("x86/PCI: Enable a 64bit BAR on AMD Family 15h (Models 00-1f, 30-3f, 60-7f)") may try to map those addresses as MMIO. To prevent this mark unallocated host memory as E820_TYPE_UNUSABLE (thus effectively reverting f5775e0b6116) and keep track of that region as a hostmem resource that can be used for the hotplug.

* | License cleanup: add SPDX GPL-2.0 license identifier to files with no licenseGreg Kroah-Hartman2017-11-021-0/+1
|/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Many source files in the tree are missing licensing information, which makes it harder for compliance tools to determine the correct license. By default all files without license information are under the default license of the kernel, which is GPL version 2. Update the files which contain no license information with the 'GPL-2.0' SPDX license identifier. The SPDX identifier is a legally binding shorthand, which can be used instead of the full boiler plate text. This patch is based on work done by Thomas Gleixner and Kate Stewart and Philippe Ombredanne. How this work was done: Patches were generated and checked against linux-4.14-rc6 for a subset of the use cases: - file had no licensing information it it. - file was a */uapi/* one with no licensing information in it, - file was a */uapi/* one with existing licensing information, Further patches will be generated in subsequent months to fix up cases where non-standard license headers were used, and references to license had to be inferred by heuristics based on keywords. The analysis to determine which SPDX License Identifier to be applied to a file was done in a spreadsheet of side by side results from of the output of two independent scanners (ScanCode & Windriver) producing SPDX tag:value files created by Philippe Ombredanne. Philippe prepared the base worksheet, and did an initial spot review of a few 1000 files. The 4.13 kernel was the starting point of the analysis with 60,537 files assessed. Kate Stewart did a file by file comparison of the scanner results in the spreadsheet to determine which SPDX license identifier(s) to be applied to the file. She confirmed any determination that was not immediately clear with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation. Criteria used to select files for SPDX license identifier tagging was: - Files considered eligible had to be source code files. - Make and config files were included as candidates if they contained >5 lines of source - File already had some variant of a license header in it (even if <5 lines). All documentation files were explicitly excluded. The following heuristics were used to determine which SPDX license identifiers to apply. - when both scanners couldn't find any license traces, file was considered to have no license information in it, and the top level COPYING file license applied. For non */uapi/* files that summary was: SPDX license identifier # files ---------------------------------------------------|------- GPL-2.0 11139 and resulted in the first patch in this series. If that file was a */uapi/* path one, it was "GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note" otherwise it was "GPL-2.0". Results of that was: SPDX license identifier # files ---------------------------------------------------|------- GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note 930 and resulted in the second patch in this series. - if a file had some form of licensing information in it, and was one of the */uapi/* ones, it was denoted with the Linux-syscall-note if any GPL family license was found in the file or had no licensing in it (per prior point). Results summary: SPDX license identifier # files ---------------------------------------------------|------ GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note 270 GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 169 ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-2-Clause) 21 ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause) 17 LGPL-2.1+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 15 GPL-1.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 14 ((GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause) 5 LGPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 4 LGPL-2.1 WITH Linux-syscall-note 3 ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR MIT) 3 ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) AND MIT) 1 and that resulted in the third patch in this series. - when the two scanners agreed on the detected license(s), that became the concluded license(s). - when there was disagreement between the two scanners (one detected a license but the other didn't, or they both detected different licenses) a manual inspection of the file occurred. - In most cases a manual inspection of the information in the file resulted in a clear resolution of the license that should apply (and which scanner probably needed to revisit its heuristics). - When it was not immediately clear, the license identifier was confirmed with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation. - If there was any question as to the appropriate license identifier, the file was flagged for further research and to be revisited later in time. In total, over 70 hours of logged manual review was done on the spreadsheet to determine the SPDX license identifiers to apply to the source files by Kate, Philippe, Thomas and, in some cases, confirmation by lawyers working with the Linux Foundation. Kate also obtained a third independent scan of the 4.13 code base from FOSSology, and compared selected files where the other two scanners disagreed against that SPDX file, to see if there was new insights. The Windriver scanner is based on an older version of FOSSology in part, so they are related. Thomas did random spot checks in about 500 files from the spreadsheets for the uapi headers and agreed with SPDX license identifier in the files he inspected. For the non-uapi files Thomas did random spot checks in about 15000 files. In initial set of patches against 4.14-rc6, 3 files were found to have copy/paste license identifier errors, and have been fixed to reflect the correct identifier. Additionally Philippe spent 10 hours this week doing a detailed manual inspection and review of the 12,461 patched files from the initial patch version early this week with: - a full scancode scan run, collecting the matched texts, detected license ids and scores - reviewing anything where there was a license detected (about 500+ files) to ensure that the applied SPDX license was correct - reviewing anything where there was no detection but the patch license was not GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note to ensure that the applied SPDX license was correct This produced a worksheet with 20 files needing minor correction. This worksheet was then exported into 3 different .csv files for the different types of files to be modified. These .csv files were then reviewed by Greg. Thomas wrote a script to parse the csv files and add the proper SPDX tag to the file, in the format that the file expected. This script was further refined by Greg based on the output to detect more types of files automatically and to distinguish between header and source .c files (which need different comment types.) Finally Greg ran the script using the .csv files to generate the patches.

* xen/balloon: don't online new memory initiallyJuergen Gross2017-07-231-0/+8
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When setting up the Xenstore watch for the memory target size the new watch will fire at once. Don't try to reach the configured target size by onlining new memory in this case, as the current memory size will be smaller in almost all cases due to e.g. BIOS reserved pages. Onlining new memory will lead to more problems e.g. undesired conflicts with NVMe devices meant to be operated as block devices. Instead remember the difference between target size and current size when the watch fires for the first time and apply it to any further size changes, too. In order to avoid races between balloon.c and xen-balloon.c init calls do the xen-balloon.c initialization from balloon.c.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | alloc_xenballooned_pages() is used to get ballooned pages to back foreign mappings etc. Instead of having to balloon out real pages, use (if supported) hotplugged memory. This makes more memory available to the guest and reduces fragmentation in the p2m. This is only enabled if the xen.balloon.hotplug_unpopulated sysctl is set to 1. This sysctl defaults to 0 in case the udev rules to automatically online hotplugged memory do not exist.

* xen: tmem: self-ballooning and frontswap-selfshrinkingDan Magenheimer2011-07-081-0/+10
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch introduces two in-kernel drivers for Xen transcendent memory ("tmem") functionality that complement cleancache and frontswap. Both use control theory to dynamically adjust and optimize memory utilization. Selfballooning controls the in-kernel Xen balloon driver, targeting a goal value (vm_committed_as), thus pushing less frequently used clean page cache pages (through the cleancache code) into Xen tmem where Xen can balance needs across all VMs residing on the physical machine. Frontswap-selfshrinking controls the number of pages in frontswap, driving it towards zero (effectively doing a partial swapoff) when in-kernel memory pressure subsides, freeing up RAM for other VMs. More detail is provided in the header comment of xen-selfballooning.c.
