Raw Normal View History

Linux-2.6.12-rc2 Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history, even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about 3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good infrastructure for it. Let it rip!

[PATCH] CPU hotplug compatible alloc_percpu() This patch splits alloc_percpu() up into two phases. Likewise for free_percpu(). This allows clients to limit initial allocations to online cpu's, and to populate or depopulate per-cpu data at run time as needed: struct my_struct *obj; /* initial allocation for online cpu's */ obj = percpu_alloc(sizeof(struct my_struct), GFP_KERNEL); ... /* populate per-cpu data for cpu coming online */ ptr = percpu_populate(obj, sizeof(struct my_struct), GFP_KERNEL, cpu); ... /* access per-cpu object */ ptr = percpu_ptr(obj, smp_processor_id()); ... /* depopulate per-cpu data for cpu going offline */ percpu_depopulate(obj, cpu); ... /* final removal */ percpu_free(obj); Signed-off-by: Martin Peschke <mp3@de.ibm.com> Cc: Paul Jackson <pj@sgi.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>

percpu: give more latitude to arch specific first chunk initialization Impact: more latitude for first percpu chunk allocation The first percpu chunk serves the kernel static percpu area and may or may not contain extra room for further dynamic allocation. Initialization of the first chunk needs to be done before normal memory allocation service is up, so it has its own init path - pcpu_setup_static(). It seems archs need more latitude while initializing the first chunk for example to take advantage of large page mapping.

x86, percpu: setup reserved percpu area for x86_64 Impact: fix relocation overflow during module load x86_64 uses 32bit relocations for symbol access and static percpu symbols whether in core or modules must be inside 2GB of the percpu segement base which the dynamic percpu allocator doesn't guarantee. This patch makes x86_64 reserve PERCPU_MODULE_RESERVE bytes in the first chunk so that module percpu areas are always allocated from the first chunk which is always inside the relocatable range. This problem exists for any percpu allocator but is easily triggered when using the embedding allocator because the second chunk is located beyond 2GB on it. This patch also changes the meaning of PERCPU_DYNAMIC_RESERVE such that it only indicates the size of the area to reserve for dynamic allocation as static and dynamic areas can be separate. New PERCPU_DYNAMIC_RESERVED is increased by 4k for both 32 and 64bits as the reserved area separation eats away some allocatable space and having slightly more headroom (currently between 4 and 8k after minimal boot sans module area) makes sense for common case performance. x86_32 can address anywhere from anywhere and doesn't need reserving. Mike Galbraith first reported the problem first and bisected it to the embedding percpu allocator commit.

percpu, module: implement reserved allocation and use it for module percpu variables Impact: add reserved allocation functionality and use it for module percpu variables This patch implements reserved allocation from the first chunk. When setting up the first chunk, arch can ask to set aside certain number of bytes right after the core static area which is available only through a separate reserved allocator. This will be used primarily for module static percpu variables on architectures with limited relocation range to ensure that the module perpcu symbols are inside the relocatable range. If reserved area is requested, the first chunk becomes reserved and isn't available for regular allocation. If the first chunk also includes piggy-back dynamic allocation area, a separate chunk mapping the same region is created to serve dynamic allocation. The first one is called static first chunk and the second dynamic first chunk. Although they share the page map, their different area map initializations guarantee they serve disjoint areas according to their purposes. If arch doesn't setup reserved area, reserved allocation is handled like any other allocation. Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org>

percpu: more flexibility for @dyn_size of pcpu_setup_first_chunk() Impact: cleanup, more flexibility for first chunk init Non-negative @dyn_size used to be allowed iff @unit_size wasn't auto. This restriction stemmed from implementation detail and made things a bit less intuitive. This patch allows @dyn_size to be specified regardless of @unit_size and swaps the positions of @dyn_size and @unit_size so that the parameter order makes more sense (static, reserved and dyn sizes followed by enclosing unit_size). While at it, add @unit_size >= PCPU_MIN_UNIT_SIZE sanity check. Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org>

percpu, module: implement reserved allocation and use it for module percpu variables Impact: add reserved allocation functionality and use it for module percpu variables This patch implements reserved allocation from the first chunk. When setting up the first chunk, arch can ask to set aside certain number of bytes right after the core static area which is available only through a separate reserved allocator. This will be used primarily for module static percpu variables on architectures with limited relocation range to ensure that the module perpcu symbols are inside the relocatable range. If reserved area is requested, the first chunk becomes reserved and isn't available for regular allocation. If the first chunk also includes piggy-back dynamic allocation area, a separate chunk mapping the same region is created to serve dynamic allocation.

percpu: give more latitude to arch specific first chunk initialization Impact: more latitude for first percpu chunk allocation The first percpu chunk serves the kernel static percpu area and may or may not contain extra room for further dynamic allocation. Initialization of the first chunk needs to be done before normal memory allocation service is up, so it has its own init path - pcpu_setup_static(). It seems archs need more latitude while initializing the first chunk for example to take advantage of large page mapping. This patch makes the following changes to allow this. * Define PERCPU_DYNAMIC_RESERVE to give arch hint about how much space to reserve in the first chunk for further dynamic allocation. * Rename pcpu_setup_static() to pcpu_setup_first_chunk(). * Make pcpu_setup_first_chunk() much more flexible by fetching page pointer by callback and adding optional @unit_size, @free_size and @base_addr arguments which allow archs to selectively part of chunk initialization to their likings.
