node_to_cpumask() has been replaced by cpumask_of_node(), and wholly

now everyone uses cpumask_of_node").So update the comments for setup_node_to_cpumask_map().

module_param(bool) used to counter-intuitively take an int. In
fddd5201 (mid-2009) we allowed bool or int/unsigned int using a messy
trick.It's time to remove the int/unsigned int option. For this version
it'll simply give a warning, but it'll break next kernel version.Signed-off-by: Rusty Russell

With the 3.2-rc kernel, IOMMU 2M pages in KVM works. But when I tried
to use IOMMU 1GB pages in KVM, I encountered an oops and the 1GB page
failed to be used.The root cause is that 1GB page allocation calls gup_huge_pud() while 2M
page calls gup_huge_pmd. If compound pages are used and the page is a
tail page, gup_huge_pmd() increases _mapcount to record tail page are
mapped while gup_huge_pud does not do that.So when the mapped page is relesed, it will result in kernel oops
because the page is not marked mapped.This patch add tail process for compound page in 1GB huge page which
keeps the same process as 2M page.Reproduce like:
1. Add grub boot option: hugepagesz=1G hugepages=8
2. mount -t hugetlbfs -o pagesize=1G hugetlbfs /dev/hugepages
3. qemu-kvm -m 2048 -hda os-kvm.img -cpu kvm64 -smp 4 -mem-path /dev/hugepages

and then in swap_entry_free() we call swap_count_continued()
which ends up in:map = kmap_atomic(page, KM_USER0) + offset;
and then later we touch *map.
Since we are running in batched mode (lazy) we don't actually
set up the PTE mappings and the kmap_atomic is not done
synchronously and ends up trying to dereference a page that has
not been set.Looking at kmap_atomic_prot_pfn(), it uses
'arch_flush_lazy_mmu_mode' and doing the same in
kmap_atomic_prot() and __kunmap_atomic() makes the problem go
away.Interestingly, commit b8bcfe997e4615 ("x86/paravirt: remove lazy
mode in interrupts") removed part of this to fix an interrupt
issue - but it went to far and did not consider this scenario.Signed-off-by: Konrad Rzeszutek Wilk

To make this work, we teach the page fault handler how to send
signals on failed uaccess. This only works for user addresses
(kernel addresses will never hit the page fault handler in the
first place), so we need to generate signals for those
separately.This gets the tricky case right: if the user buffer spans
multiple pages and only the second page is invalid, we set
cr2 and si_addr correctly. UML relies on this behavior to
"fault in" pages as needed.We steal a bit from thread_info.uaccess_err to enable this.
Before this change, uaccess_err was a 32-bit boolean value.This fixes issues with UML when vsyscall=emulate.

Michel while working on the working set estimation code, noticed that
calling get_page_unless_zero() on a random pfn_to_page(random_pfn)
wasn't safe, if the pfn ended up being a tail page of a transparent
hugepage under splitting by __split_huge_page_refcount().He then found the problem could also theoretically materialize with
page_cache_get_speculative() during the speculative radix tree lookups
that uses get_page_unless_zero() in SMP if the radix tree page is freed
and reallocated and get_user_pages is called on it before
page_cache_get_speculative has a chance to call get_page_unless_zero().So the best way to fix the problem is to keep page_tail->_count zero at
all times. This will guarantee that get_page_unless_zero() can never
succeed on any tail page. page_tail->_mapcount is guaranteed zero and
is unused for all tail pages of a compound page, so we can simply
account the tail page references there and transfer them to
tail_page->_count in __split_huge_page_refcount() (in addition to the
head_page->_mapcount).While debugging this s/_count/_mapcount/ change I also noticed get_page is
called by direct-io.c on pages returned by get_user_pages. That wasn't
entirely safe because the two atomic_inc in get_page weren't atomic. As
opposed to other get_user_page users like secondary-MMU page fault to
establish the shadow pagetables would never call any superflous get_page
after get_user_page returns. It's safer to make get_page universally safe
for tail pages and to use get_page_foll() within follow_page (inside
get_user_pages()). get_page_foll() is safe to do the refcounting for tail
pages without taking any locks because it is run within PT lock protected
critical sections (PT lock for pte and page_table_lock for
pmd_trans_huge).The standard get_page() as invoked by direct-io instead will now take
the compound_lock but still only for tail pages. The direct-io paths
are usually I/O bound and the compound_lock is per THP so very
finegrined, so there's no risk of scalability issues with it. A simple
direct-io benchmarks with all lockdep prove locking and spinlock
debugging infrastructure enabled shows identical performance and no
overhead. So it's worth it. Ideally direct-io should stop calling
get_page() on pages returned by get_user_pages(). The spinlock in
get_page() is already optimized away for no-THP builds but doing
get_page() on tail pages returned by GUP is generally a rare operation
and usually only run in I/O paths.This new refcounting on page_tail->_mapcount in addition to avoiding new
RCU critical sections will also allow the working set estimation code to
work without any further complexity associated to the tail page
refcounting with THP.Signed-off-by: Andrea Arcangeli

Commit 4b239f458 ("x86-64, mm: Put early page table high") causes a S4
regression since 2.6.39, namely the machine reboots occasionally at S4
resume. It doesn't happen always, overall rate is about 1/20. But,
like other bugs, once when this happens, it continues to happen.This patch fixes the problem by essentially reverting the memory
assignment in the older way.Signed-off-by: Takashi Iwai

Erratum 93 applies to AMD K8 CPUs only, and its workaround
(forcing the upper 32 bits of %rip to all get set under certain
conditions) is actually getting in the way of analyzing page
faults occurring during EFI physical mode runtime calls (in
particular the page table walk shown is completely unrelated to
the actual fault). This is because typically EFI runtime code
lives in the space between 2G and 4G, which - modulo the above
manipulation - is likely to overlap with the kernel or modules
area.While even for the other errata workarounds their taking effect
could be limited to just the affected CPUs, none of them appears
to be destructive, and they're generally getting called only
outside of performance critical paths, so they're being left
untouched.Signed-off-by: Jan Beulich

Fast-forward merge with Linus to be able to merge patches
based on more recent version of the tree. -
It was pointed out by 'make versioncheck' that the include of
linux/version.h is not needed in arch/x86/mm/mmio-mod.c .
This patch removes it.Signed-off-by: Jesper Juhl

arch/x86/mm/fault.c now depend on having the symbol VSYSCALL_START
defined, which is best handled by including (it isn't
unreasonable we may want other fixed addresses in this file in the
future, and so it is cleaner than including
directly.)This addresses an x86-64 allnoconfig build failure. On other
configurations it was masked by an indirect path:-> -> ->
... however, the first such include is conditional on CONFIG_X86_LOCAL_APIC.

There are three choices:
vsyscall=native: Vsyscalls are native code that issues the
corresponding syscalls.vsyscall=emulate (default): Vsyscalls are emulated by instruction
fault traps, tested in the bad_area path. The actual contents of
the vsyscall page is the same as the vsyscall=native case except
that it's marked NX. This way programs that make assumptions about
what the code in the page does will not be confused when they read
that code.vsyscall=none: Trying to execute a vsyscall will segfault.
