Create a new socket level option to report number of queue overflows
Recently I augmented the AF_PACKET protocol to report the number of frames lost
on the socket receive queue between any two enqueued frames. This value was
exported via a SOL_PACKET level cmsg. AFter I completed that work it was
requested that this feature be generalized so that any datagram oriented socket
could make use of this option. As such I've created this patch, It creates a
new SOL_SOCKET level option called SO_RXQ_OVFL, which when enabled exports a
SOL_SOCKET level cmsg that reports the nubmer of times the sk_receive_queue
overflowed between any two given frames. It also augments the AF_PACKET
protocol to take advantage of this new feature (as it previously did not touch
sk->sk_drops, which this patch uses to record the overflow count). Tested
successfully by me.Notes:
1) Unlike my previous patch, this patch simply records the sk_drops value, which
is not a number of drops between packets, but rather a total number of drops.
Deltas must be computed in user space.2) While this patch currently works with datagram oriented protocols, it will
also be accepted by non-datagram oriented protocols. I'm not sure if thats
agreeable to everyone, but my argument in favor of doing so is that, for those
protocols which aren't applicable to this option, sk_drops will always be zero,
and reporting no drops on a receive queue that isn't used for those
non-participating protocols seems reasonable to me. This also saves us having
to code in a per-protocol opt in mechanism.3) This applies cleanly to net-next assuming that commit

After upgrading to the latest kernel on my mpc875 userspace started
running incredibly slow (hours to get to a shell, even!).
I tracked it down to commit 8d30c14cab30d405a05f2aaceda1e9ad57800f36,

The xmon code relies on MSR_RI being non-zero to indicate that an exception
is recoverable. If it is not, it prints a warning message. However, the
PowerPC 4xx cores do not have an MSR_RI bit and this warning is produced for
every xmon event.This introduces an unrecoverable_excp function to determine if an exception
is recoverable or not. This gets rid of the erroneous warnings on 4xx.Signed-off-by: Josh Boyer

The test to check whether we have _PAGE_SPECIAL defined is broken,
since we always define it, just not always to a meaninful value :-)That broke 8xx and 40x under some circumstances.
This fixes it by adding _PAGE_SPECIAL for both of these since they
had a free PTE bit, and removing the condition around advertising
it.Signed-off-by: Benjamin Herrenschmidt

Some System p configurations can already have more than 16 nodes so we
need to increase NODES_SHIFT. I chose 256 to give us some room to grow in the
future, although we can look at something smaller if the memory bloat is
considered too much.Unless we clamp MAX_ACTIVE_REGIONS we end up with 300kB of extra bloat in
early_node_map in mm/page_alloc.c:< 6144 early_node_map
> 307200 early_node_mapdue to:
#if MAX_NUMNODES >= 32
/* If there can be many nodes, allow up to 50 holes per node */
#define MAX_ACTIVE_REGIONS (MAX_NUMNODES*50)
#else
/* By default, allow up to 256 distinct regions */
#define MAX_ACTIVE_REGIONS 256Since our memory is mostly contiguous it seems reasonable to keep this
at 256 for now. I also set 32bit to 32 to save space (is there any chance
a 32bit system will have more than 32 discontiguous memory ranges?).Even with that fixed we have a few data structures that grow:
< 896 bootmem_node_data
> 14336 bootmem_node_data< 1280 node_devices
> 20480 node_devices< 25088 kmalloc_caches

If we are using 1TB segments and we are allowed to randomise the heap, we can
put it above 1TB so it is backed by a 1TB segment. Otherwise the heap will be
in the bottom 1TB which always uses 256MB segments and this may result in a
performance penalty.This functionality is disabled when heap randomisation is turned off:
echo 1 > /proc/sys/kernel/randomize_va_space
which may be useful when trying to allocate the maximum amount of 16M or 16G
pages.On a microbenchmark that repeatedly touches 32GB of memory with a stride of
256MB + 4kB (designed to stress 256MB segments while still mapping nicely into
the L1 cache), we see the improvement:Force malloc to use heap all the time:
# export MALLOC_MMAP_MAX_=0 MALLOC_TRIM_THRESHOLD_=-1Disable heap randomization:
# echo 1 > /proc/sys/kernel/randomize_va_space
# time ./test
12.51sEnable heap randomization:
# echo 2 > /proc/sys/kernel/randomize_va_space

When using CONFIG_RELOCATABLE, we build the kernel as a position
independent executable. The kernel then uses a little bit of relocation
code to relocate itself. That code only deals with R_PPC64_RELATIVE
relocations though. If for some reason you use assembly constructs
such as LOAD_REG_IMMEDIATE() to load the address of a symbol, you'll
generate different kinds of relocations that won't be processed properly
and bad things will happen. (We have 2 such bugs today).The perl script tries to filter out "known" bad ones. It's possible
that we are missing some in the case of a weak function that nobody
implements, we'll see if we get false positive and fix it.Signed-off-by: Tony Breeds

For /proc/kcore, each arch registers its memory range by kclist_add().
In usual,- range of physical memory
- range of vmalloc area
- text, etc...are registered but "range of physical memory" has some troubles. It
doesn't updated at memory hotplug and it tend to include unnecessary
memory holes. Now, /proc/iomem (kernel/resource.c) includes required
physical memory range information and it's properly updated at memory
hotplug. Then, it's good to avoid using its own code(duplicating
information) and to rebuild kclist for physical memory based on
/proc/iomem.Signed-off-by: KAMEZAWA Hiroyuki

Originally, walk_memory_resource() was introduced to traverse all memory
of "System RAM" for detecting memory hotplug/unplug range. For doing so,
flags of IORESOUCE_MEM|IORESOURCE_BUSY was used and this was enough for
memory hotplug.But for using other purpose, /proc/kcore, this may includes some firmware
area marked as IORESOURCE_BUSY | IORESOUCE_MEM. This patch makes the
check strict to find out busy "System RAM".Note: PPC64 keeps their own walk_memory_resouce(), which walk through
ppc64's lmb informaton. Because old kclist_add() is called per lmb, this
patch makes no difference in behavior, finally.And this patch removes CONFIG_MEMORY_HOTPLUG check from this function.
Because pfn_valid() just show "there is memmap or not* and cannot be used
for "there is physical memory or not", this function is useful in generic
to scan physical memory range.Signed-off-by: KAMEZAWA Hiroyuki
