Avoid an atomic operation in kref_put() when the last reference is

When calling sysfs_remove_dir() don't allow any further sysfs functions

We only need to write an invalid tag every 16 bytes,
so taking advantage of this can save many instructions
compared to the simple memset() call we make now.A prefetching implementation is implemented for sun4u
and a block-init store version if implemented for Niagara.The next trick is to be able to perform an init and
a copy_tsb() in parallel when growing a TSB table.Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

online_page() is straightforward, and then add a dummy
remove_memory() that returns -EINVAL just like i386.There is no point in implementing remove_memory() since
__remove_pages() has no implementation either.Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

Try only lightly on > 1 order allocations.
If a grow fails, we are under memory pressure, so do not try
to grow the TSB for this address space any more.If a > 0 order TSB allocation fails on a new fork, retry using
a 0 order allocation.Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

Put it one page below the top of the 32-bit address space.
This gives us ~16MB more address space to work with.Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

Currently allocations are very constrained for 32-bit processes.
It grows down-up from 0x70000000 to 0xf0000000 which gives about
2GB of stack + dynamic mmap() space.So support the top-down method, and we need to override the
generic helper function in order to deal with D-cache coloring.With these changes I was able to squeeze out a mmap() just over
3.6GB in size in a 32-bit process.Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

Should allow cheetah_plus cpu types and don't taint
the kernel.Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

This is good for up to %50 performance improvement of some test cases.
The problem has been the race conditions, and hopefully I've plugged
them all up here.1) There was a serious race in switch_mm() wrt. lazy TLB
switching to and from kernel threads.We could erroneously skip a tsb_context_switch() and thus
use a stale TSB across a TSB grow event.There is a big comment now in that function describing
exactly how it can happen.2) All code paths that do something with the TSB need to be
guarded with the mm->context.lock spinlock. This makes
page table flushing paths properly synchronize with both
TSB growing and TLB context changes.3) TSB growing events are moved to the end of successful fault
processing. Previously it was in update_mmu_cache() but
that is deadlock prone. At the end of do_sparc64_fault()
we hold no spinlocks that could deadlock the TSB grow
sequence. We also have dropped the address space semaphore.While we're here, add prefetching to the copy_tsb() routine
and put it in assembler into the tsb.S file. This piece of
code is quite time critical.There are some small negative side effects to this code which
can be improved upon. In particular we grab the mm->context.lock
even for the tsb insert done by update_mmu_cache() now and that's
a bit excessive. We can get rid of that locking, and the same
lock taking in flush_tsb_user(), by disabling PSTATE_IE around
the whole operation including the capturing of the tsb pointer
and tsb_nentries value. That would work because anyone growing
the TSB won't free up the old TSB until all cpus respond to the
TSB change cross call.I'm not quite so confident in that optimization to put it in
right now, but eventually we might be able to and the description
is here for reference.This code seems very solid now. It passes several parallel GCC
bootstrap builds, and our favorite "nut cruncher" stress test which is
a full "make -j8192" build of a "make allmodconfig" kernel. That puts
about 256 processes on each cpu's run queue, makes lots of process cpu
migrations occur, causes lots of page table and TLB flushing activity,
incurs many context version number changes, and it swaps the machine
real far out to disk even though there is 16GB of ram on this test
system. :-)Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

The mapping is a simple "(cpuid >> 2) == core" for now.
Later we'll add more sophisticated code that will walk
the sun4v machine description and figure this out from
there.We should also add core mappings for jaguar and panther
processors.Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

The page->flags manipulations done by the D-cache dirty
state tracking was broken because the constants were not
marked with "UL" to make them 64-bit, which means we were
clobbering the upper 32-bits of page->flags all the time.This doesn't jive well with sparsemem which stores the
section and indexing information in the top 32-bits of
page->flags.This is yet another sparc64 bug which has been with us
forever.While we're here, tidy up some things in bootmem_init()
and paginig_init():1) Pass min_low_pfn to init_bootmem_node(), it's identical
to (phys_base >> PAGE_SHIFT) but we should use consistent
with the variable names we print in CONFIG_BOOTMEM_DEBUG2) max_mapnr, although no longer used, was being set
inaccurately, we shouldn't subtract pfn_base any more.3) All the games with phys_base in the zones_*[] arrays
we pass to free_area_init_node() are no longer necessary.Thanks to Josh Grebe and Fabbione for the bug reports
and testing. Fix also verified locally on an SB2500
which had a memory layout that triggered the same problem.Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

This has been pending for a long time, and the fact
that we waste a ton of ram on some configurations

Don't piggy back the SMP receive signal code to do the
context version change handling.Instead allocate another fixed PIL number for this
asynchronous cross-call. We can't use smp_call_function()
because this thing is invoked with interrupts disabled
and a few spinlocks held.Also, fix smp_call_function_mask() to count "cpus" correctly.
There is no guarentee that the local cpu is in the mask
yet that is exactly what this code was assuming.Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

1) Always spin_lock_init() in init_context(). The caller essentially
clears it out, or copies the mm info from the parent. In both
cases we need to explicitly initialize the spinlock.2) Always do explicit IRQ disabling while taking mm->context.lock

Don't try to avoid putting non-base page sized entries
into the user TSB. It actually costs us more to check
this than it helps.Eventually we'll have a multiple TSB scheme for user
processes. Once a process starts using larger pages,
we'll allocate and use such a TSB.Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

This cpu mondo sending interface isn't all that easy to
use correctly...We were clearing out the wrong bits from the "mask" after getting
something other than EOK from the hypervisor.It turns out the hypervisor can just be resent the same cpu_list[]
array, with the 0xffff "done" entries still in there, and it will do
the right thing.So don't update or try to rebuild the cpu_list[] array to condense it.
This requires the "forward_progress" check to be done slightly
differently, but this new scheme is less bug prone than what we were
doing before.Signed-off-by: David S. Miller
