* relay: add buffer-only channels; useful for early loggingEduard - Gabriel Munteanu2008-07-261-0/+5
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Allows one to create and use a channel with no associated files. Files can be initialized later. This is useful in scenarios such as logging in early code, before VFS is up. Therefore, such channels can be created and used as soon as kmem_cache_init() completed. This is needed by kmemtrace to do tracing in early kernel code.

* Full conversion to early_initcall() interface, remove old interfaceEduard - Gabriel Munteanu2008-07-262-14/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | A previous patch added the early_initcall(), to allow a cleaner hooking of pre-SMP initcalls. Now we remove the older interface, converting all existing users to the new one.

* Better interface for hooking early initcallsEduard - Gabriel Munteanu2008-07-262-0/+9
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Added early initcall (pre-SMP) support, using an identical interface to that of regular initcalls. Functions called from do_pre_smp_initcalls() could be converted to use this cleaner interface. This is required by CPU hotplug, because early users have to register notifiers before going SMP. One such CPU hotplug user is the relay interface with buffer-only channels, which needs to register such a notifier, to be usable in early code. This in turn is used by kmemtrace.

* kexec jump: save/restore device stateHuang Ying2008-07-261-0/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch implements devices state save/restore before after kexec. This patch together with features in kexec_jump patch can be used for following: - A simple hibernation implementation without ACPI support. You can kexec a hibernating kernel, save the memory image of original system and shutdown the system. When resuming, you restore the memory image of original system via ordinary kexec load then jump back. - Kernel/system debug through making system snapshot. You can make system snapshot, jump back, do some thing and make another system snapshot. - Cooperative multi-kernel/system. With kexec jump, you can switch between several kernels/systems quickly without boot process except the first time. This appears like swap a whole kernel/system out/in. - A general method to call program in physical mode (paging turning off). This can be used to invoke BIOS code under Linux. The following user-space tools can be used with kexec jump: - kexec-tools needs to be patched to support kexec jump. The patches and the precompiled kexec can be download from the following URL: source: http://khibernation.sourceforge.net/download/release_v10/kexec-tools/kexec-tools-src_git_kh10.tar.bz2 patches: http://khibernation.sourceforge.net/download/release_v10/kexec-tools/kexec-tools-patches_git_kh10.tar.bz2 binary: http://khibernation.sourceforge.net/download/release_v10/kexec-tools/kexec_git_kh10 - makedumpfile with patches are used as memory image saving tool, it can exclude free pages from original kernel memory image file. The patches and the precompiled makedumpfile can be download from the following URL: source: http://khibernation.sourceforge.net/download/release_v10/makedumpfile/makedumpfile-src_cvs_kh10.tar.bz2 patches: http://khibernation.sourceforge.net/download/release_v10/makedumpfile/makedumpfile-patches_cvs_kh10.tar.bz2 binary: http://khibernation.sourceforge.net/download/release_v10/makedumpfile/makedumpfile_cvs_kh10 - An initramfs image can be used as the root file system of kexeced kernel. An initramfs image built with "BuildRoot" can be downloaded from the following URL: initramfs image: http://khibernation.sourceforge.net/download/release_v10/initramfs/rootfs_cvs_kh10.gz All user space tools above are included in the initramfs image. Usage example of simple hibernation: 1. Compile and install patched kernel with following options selected: CONFIG_X86_32=y CONFIG_RELOCATABLE=y CONFIG_KEXEC=y CONFIG_CRASH_DUMP=y CONFIG_PM=y CONFIG_HIBERNATION=y CONFIG_KEXEC_JUMP=y 2. Build an initramfs image contains kexec-tool and makedumpfile, or download the pre-built initramfs image, called rootfs.gz in following text. 3. Prepare a partition to save memory image of original kernel, called hibernating partition in following text. 4. Boot kernel compiled in step 1 (kernel A). 5. In the kernel A, load kernel compiled in step 1 (kernel B) with /sbin/kexec. The shell command line can be as follow: /sbin/kexec --load-preserve-context /boot/bzImage --mem-min=0x100000 --mem-max=0xffffff --initrd=rootfs.gz 6. Boot the kernel B with following shell command line: /sbin/kexec -e 7. The kernel B will boot as normal kexec. In kernel B the memory image of kernel A can be saved into hibernating partition as follow: jump_back_entry=`cat /proc/cmdline | tr ' ' '\n' | grep kexec_jump_back_entry | cut -d '='` echo $jump_back_entry > kexec_jump_back_entry cp /proc/vmcore dump.elf Then you can shutdown the machine as normal. 8. Boot kernel compiled in step 1 (kernel C). Use the rootfs.gz as root file system. 9. In kernel C, load the memory image of kernel A as follow: /sbin/kexec -l --args-none --entry=`cat kexec_jump_back_entry` dump.elf 10. Jump back to the kernel A as follow: /sbin/kexec -e Then, kernel A is resumed. Implementation point: To support jumping between two kernels, before jumping to (executing) the new kernel and jumping back to the original kernel, the devices are put into quiescent state, and the state of devices and CPU is saved. After jumping back from kexeced kernel and jumping to the new kernel, the state of devices and CPU are restored accordingly. The devices/CPU state save/restore code of software suspend is called to implement corresponding function. Known issues: - Because the segment number supported by sys_kexec_load is limited, hibernation image with many segments may not be load. This is planned to be eliminated by adding a new flag to sys_kexec_load to make a image can be loaded with multiple sys_kexec_load invoking. Now, only the i386 architecture is supported.

* kexec jumpHuang Ying2008-07-262-12/+23

It implements the following features: - Backup/restore memory used by the original kernel before/after kexec. - Save/restore CPU state before/after kexec. The features of this patch can be used as a general method to call program in physical mode (paging turning off). This can be used to call BIOS code under Linux. kexec-tools needs to be patched to support kexec jump.

Compile and install patched kernel with following options selected: CONFIG_X86_32=y CONFIG_KEXEC=y CONFIG_PM=y CONFIG_KEXEC_JUMP=y 2. Build patched kexec-tool or download the pre-built one. 3. Build some physical mode executable named such as "phy_mode" 4. Boot kernel compiled in step 1. 5. Load physical mode executable with /sbin/kexec. The shell command line can be as follow: /sbin/kexec --load-preserve-context --args-none phy_mode 6. Call physical mode executable with following shell command line: /sbin/kexec -e Implementation point: To support jumping without reserving memory. One shadow backup page (source page) is allocated for each page used by kexeced code image (destination page). When do kexec_load, the image of kexeced code is loaded into source pages, and before executing, the destination pages and the source pages are swapped, so the contents of destination pages are backupped. Before jumping to the kexeced code image and after jumping back to the original kernel, the destination pages and the source pages are swapped too. C ABI (calling convention) is used as communication protocol between kernel and called code. A flag named KEXEC_PRESERVE_CONTEXT for sys_kexec_load is added to indicate that the loaded kernel image is used for jumping back. Now, only the i386 architecture is supported.

* x86 calgary: fix handling of devices that aren't behind the CalgaryAlexis Bruemmer2008-07-261-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The calgary code can give drivers addresses above 4GB which is very bad for hardware that is only 32bit DMA addressable. With this patch, the calgary code sets the global dma_ops to swiotlb or nommu properly, and the dma_ops of devices behind the Calgary/CalIOC2 to calgary_dma_ops. So the calgary code can handle devices safely that aren't behind the Calgary/CalIOC2.

* dma-mapping: add the device argument to dma_mapping_error()FUJITA Tomonori2008-07-2626-61/+103
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Add per-device dma_mapping_ops support for CONFIG_X86_64 as POWER architecture does: This enables us to cleanly fix the Calgary IOMMU issue that some devices are not behind the IOMMU (http://lkml.org/lkml/2008/5/8/423). I think that per-device dma_mapping_ops support would be also helpful for KVM people to support PCI passthrough but Andi thinks that this makes it difficult to support the PCI passthrough (see the above thread). So I CC'ed this to KVM camp. Comments are appreciated. A pointer to dma_mapping_ops to struct dev_archdata is added. If the pointer is non NULL, DMA operations in asm/dma-mapping.h use it. If it's NULL, the system-wide dma_ops pointer is used as before. If it's useful for KVM people, I plan to implement a mechanism to register a hook called when a new pci (or dma capable) device is created (it works with hot plugging). It enables IOMMUs to set up an appropriate dma_mapping_ops per device. The major obstacle is that dma_mapping_error doesn't take a pointer to the device unlike other DMA operations. So x86 can't have dma_mapping_ops per device. Note all the POWER IOMMUs use the same dma_mapping_error function so this is not a problem for POWER but x86 IOMMUs use different dma_mapping_error functions. The first patch adds the device argument to dma_mapping_error. The patch is trivial but large since it touches lots of drivers and dma-mapping.h in all the architecture. This patch: dma_mapping_error() doesn't take a pointer to the device unlike other DMA operations. So we can't have dma_mapping_ops per device. Note that POWER already has dma_mapping_ops per device but all the POWER IOMMUs use the same dma_mapping_error function. x86 IOMMUs use device argument.

For non-pSeries platforms the code is ifdef'ed out and for non-CMO enabled pSeries systems this does not affect the normal code path. Devices that do not perform DMA operations do not need modification with this patch. The function get_desired_dma was renamed from get_io_entitlement for clarity. Overview Cooperative Memory Overcommitment (CMO) allows for a set of OS partitions to be run with less RAM than the aggregate needs of the group of partitions. The firmware will balance memory between the partitions and page in/out memory as needed. Based on the number and type of IO adpaters preset each partition is allocated an amount of memory for DMA operations and this allocation will be guaranteed to the partition; this is referred to as the partition's 'entitlement'. Partitions running in a CMO environment can only have virtual IO devices present. The VIO bus layer will manage the IO entitlement for the system. Accounting, at a system and per-device level, is tracked in the VIO bus code and exposed via sysfs. A set of dma_ops functions are added to the bus to allow for this accounting. Bus initialization At initialization, the bus will calculate the minimum needs of the system based on providing each device present with a standard minimum entitlement along with a spare allocation for the bus to handle hotplug events. If the minimum needs can not be met the system boot will be halted. Device changes The significant changes for devices while running under CMO are that the devices must specify how much dedicated IO entitlement they desire and must also handle DMA mapping errors that can occur due to constrained IO memory. The virtual IO drivers are modified to silence errors when DMA mappings fail for CMO and handle these failures gracefully. Each devices will be guaranteed a minimum entitlement that can always be mapped. Devices will specify how much entitlement they desire and the VIO bus will attempt to provide for this. Devices can change their desired entitlement level at any point in time to address particular needs (via vio_cmo_set_dev_desired()), not just at device probe time. VIO bus changes The system will have a particular entitlement level available from which it can provide memory to the devices. The bus defines two pools of memory within this entitlement, the reserved and excess pools. Each device is provided with it's own entitlement no less than a system defined minimum entitlement and no greater than what the device has specified as it's desired entitlement. The entitlement provided to devices comes from the reserve pool. The reserve pool can also contain a spare allocation as large as the system defined minimum entitlement which is used for device hotplug events. Any entitlement not needed to fulfill the needs of a reserve pool is placed in the excess pool. Each device is guaranteed that it can map up to it's entitled level; additional mapping are possible as long as there is unmapped memory in the excess pool. Bus probe As the system starts, each device is given an entitlement equal only to the system defined minimum entitlement. The reserve pool is equal to the sum of these entitlements, plus a spare allocation. The VIO bus also tracks the aggregate desired entitlement of all the devices. If the system desired entitlement is greater than the size of the reserve pool, when devices unmap IO memory it will be reserved and a balance operation will be scheduled for some time in the future. Entitlement balancing The balance function tries to fairly distribute entitlement between the devices in the system with the goal of providing each device with it's desired amount of entitlement. Devices using more than what would be ideal will have their entitled set-point adjusted; this will effectively set a goal for lower IO memory usage as future mappings can fail and deallocations will trigger a balance operation to distribute the newly unmapped memory. A fair distribution of entitlement can take several balance operations to achieve. Entitlement changes and device DLPAR events will alter the state of CMO and will trigger balance operations. Hotplug events The VIO bus allows for changes in system entitlement at run-time via 'vio_cmo_entitlement_update()'. When devices are added the hotplug device event will be preceded by a system entitlement increase and this is reversed when devices are removed. The following changes are made that the VIO bus layer for CMO: * add IO memory accounting per device structure. * add IO memory entitlement query function to driver structure. * during vio bus probe, if CMO is enabled, check that driver has memory entitlement query function defined. Fail if function not defined. * fail to register driver if io entitlement function not defined. * create set of dma_ops at vio level for CMO that will track allocations and return DMA failures once entitlement is reached. Entitlement will limited by overall system entitlement. Devices will have a reserved quantity of memory that is guaranteed, the rest can be used as available. * expose entitlement, current allocation, desired allocation, and the allocation error counter for devices to the user through sysfs * provide mechanism for changing a device's desired entitlement at run time for devices as an exported function and sysfs tunable * track any DMA failures for entitled IO memory for each vio device. * check entitlement against available system entitlement on device add * track entitlement metrics (high water mark, current usage) * provide function to reset high water mark * provide minimum and desired entitlement numbers at a bus level * provide drivers with a minimum guaranteed entitlement * balance available entitlement between devices to satisfy their needs * handle system entitlement changes and device hotplug Signed-off-by: Robert Jennings <rcj@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Acked-by: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org> Signed-off-by: Benjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org>

For example, a Power6 system may appear to be a Power5+, which makes the AT_PLATFORM value "power5+". This means that programs are restricted to the ISA supported by Power5+; Power6-specific instructions are treated as illegal. However, some applications (virtual machines, optimized libraries) can benefit from knowledge of the underlying CPU model. A new aux vector entry, AT_BASE_PLATFORM, will denote the actual hardware. For example, on a Power6 system in Power5+ compatibility mode, AT_PLATFORM will be "power5+" and AT_BASE_PLATFORM will be "power6". The idea is that AT_PLATFORM indicates the instruction set supported, while AT_BASE_PLATFORM indicates the underlying microarchitecture. If the architecture has defined ELF_BASE_PLATFORM, copy that value to the user stack in the same manner as ELF_PLATFORM.

CE and UE errors are reported along with the current DIMM label information and other memory parameters. Reasons why this is preliminary: 1) This chip has 2 independent memory controllers which, for best perforance, use interleaved accesses to the DDR2 memory. This architecture does not map very well to the current edac data structures which depend on symmetric channel access to the interleaved data. Without core changes, the best I could do for now is to map both memory controllers to different csrows (first all ranks of controller 0, then all ranks of controller 1). Someone much more familiar with the edac core than I will probably need to come up with a more general data structure to handle the interleaving and de-interleaving of the two memory controllers. 2) I have not yet tackled the de-interleaving of the rank/controller address space into the physical address space of the CPU. There is nothing fundamentally missing, it is just ending up to be a lot of code, and I'd rather keep it separate for now, esp since it doesn't work yet... 3) The code depends on a particular i5100 chip select to DIMM mainboard chip select mapping. This mapping seems obvious to me in order to support dual and single ranked memory, but it is not unique and DIMM labels could be wrong on other mainboards. There is no way to query this mapping that I know of. 4) The code requires that the i5100 is in 32GB mode. Only 4 ranks per controller, 2 ranks per DIMM are supported. I do not have hardware (nor do I expect to have hardware anytime soon) for the 48GB (6 ranks per controller) mode. 5) The serial presence detect code should be broken out into a "real" i2c driver so that decode-dimms.pl can work.

This patch adds accounting memory reclaim to per-task-delay-accounting for accounting the time of do_try_to_free_pages(). <i.e> - When System is under low memory load, memory reclaim may not occur. $ free total used free shared buffers cached Mem: 8197800 1577300 6620500 0 4808 1516724 -/+ buffers/cache: 55768 8142032 Swap: 16386292 0 16386292 $ vmstat 1 procs -----------memory---------- ---swap-- -----io---- -system-- ----cpu---- r b swpd free buff cache si so bi bo in cs us sy id wa 0 0 0 5069748 10612 3014060 0 0 0 0 3 26 0 0 100 0 0 0 0 5069748 10612 3014060 0 0 0 0 4 22 0 0 100 0 0 0 0 5069748 10612 3014060 0 0 0 0 3 18 0 0 100 0 Measure the time of tar command. $ ls -s test.dat 1501472 test.dat $ time tar cvf test.tar test.dat real 0m13.388s user 0m0.116s sys 0m5.304s $ ./delayget -d -p <pid> CPU count real total virtual total delay total 428 5528345500 5477116080 62749891 IO count delay total 338 8078977189 SWAP count delay total 0 0 RECLAIM count delay total 0 0 - When system is under heavy memory load memory reclaim may occur. $ vmstat 1 procs -----------memory---------- ---swap-- -----io---- -system-- ----cpu---- r b swpd free buff cache si so bi bo in cs us sy id wa 0 0 7159032 49724 1812 3012 0 0 0 0 3 24 0 0 100 0 0 0 7159032 49724 1812 3012 0 0 0 0 4 24 0 0 100 0 0 0 7159032 49848 1812 3012 0 0 0 0 3 22 0 0 100 0 In this case, one process uses more 8G memory by execution of malloc() and memset(). $ time tar cvf test.tar test.dat real 1m38.563s <- increased by 85 sec user 0m0.140s sys 0m7.060s $ ./delayget -d -p <pid> CPU count real total virtual total delay total 9021 7140446250 7315277975 923201824 IO count delay total 8965 90466349669 SWAP count delay total 3 21036367 RECLAIM count delay total 740 61011951153 In the later case, the value of RECLAIM is increasing.
