mm: add a basic debugging framework for memory initialisation Boot initialisation is very complex, with significant numbers of architecture-specific routines, hooks and code ordering. While significant amounts of the initialisation is architecture-independent, it trusts the data received from the architecture layer. This is a mistake, and has resulted in a number of difficult-to-diagnose bugs. This patchset adds some validation and tracing to memory initialisation. It also introduces a few basic defensive measures. The validation code can be explicitly disabled for embedded systems. This patch: Add additional debugging and verification code for memory initialisation. Once enabled, the verification checks are always run and when required additional debugging information may be outputted via a mminit_loglevel= command-line parameter. The verification code is placed in a new file mm/mm_init.c. Ideally other mm initialisation code will be moved here over time.

mm: create /sys/kernel/mm Add a kobject to create /sys/kernel/mm when sysfs is mounted. The kobject will exist regardless. This will allow for the hugepage related sysfs directories to exist under the mm "subsystem" directory. Add an ABI file appropriately.

mm: Map most files to use export.h instead of module.h The files changed within are only using the EXPORT_SYMBOL macro variants. They are not using core modular infrastructure and hence don't need module.h but only the export.h header. Signed-off-by: Paul Gortmaker <paul.gortmaker@windriver.com>

mm: tune vm_committed_as percpu_counter batching size Currently the per cpu counter's batch size for memory accounting is configured as twice the number of cpus in the system. However, for system with very large memory, it is more appropriate to make it proportional to the memory size per cpu in the system. For example, for a x86_64 system with 64 cpus and 128 GB of memory, the batch size is only 2*64 pages (0.5 MB). So any memory accounting changes of more than 0.5MB will overflow the per cpu counter into the global counter. Instead, for the new scheme, the batch size is configured to be 0.4% of the memory/cpu = 8MB (128 GB/64 /256), which is more inline with the memory size. I've done a repeated brk test of 800KB (from will-it-scale test suite) with 80 concurrent processes on a 4 socket Westmere machine with a total of 40 cores. Without the patch, about 80% of cpu is spent on spin-lock contention within the vm_committed_as counter. With the patch, there's a 73x speedup on the benchmark and the lock contention drops off almost entirely.

When the page flags are updated with section, node and zone information, a check are made to ensure the values can be retrieved correctly.

mm: remove mm_init compilation dependency on CONFIG_DEBUG_MEMORY_INIT Towards the end of putting all core mm initialization in mm_init.c, I plan on putting the creation of a mm kobject in a function in that file. However, the file is currently only compiled if CONFIG_DEBUG_MEMORY_INIT is set. Remove this dependency, but put the code under an #ifdef on the same config option. This should result in no functional changes.

mm: add a basic debugging framework for memory initialisation Boot initialisation is very complex, with significant numbers of architecture-specific routines, hooks and code ordering. While significant amounts of the initialisation is architecture-independent, it trusts the data received from the architecture layer. This is a mistake, and has resulted in a number of difficult-to-diagnose bugs. This patchset adds some validation and tracing to memory initialisation. It also introduces a few basic defensive measures. The validation code can be explicitly disabled for embedded systems. This patch: Add additional debugging and verification code for memory initialisation. Once enabled, the verification checks are always run and when required additional debugging information may be outputted via a mminit_loglevel= command-line parameter. The verification code is placed in a new file mm/mm_init.c. Ideally other mm initialisation code will be moved here over time.

mm: remove mm_init compilation dependency on CONFIG_DEBUG_MEMORY_INIT Towards the end of putting all core mm initialization in mm_init.c, I plan on putting the creation of a mm kobject in a function in that file. However, the file is currently only compiled if CONFIG_DEBUG_MEMORY_INIT is set. Remove this dependency, but put the code under an #ifdef on the same config option. This should result in no functional changes.

mm: tune vm_committed_as percpu_counter batching size Currently the per cpu counter's batch size for memory accounting is configured as twice the number of cpus in the system. However, for system with very large memory, it is more appropriate to make it proportional to the memory size per cpu in the system. For example, for a x86_64 system with 64 cpus and 128 GB of memory, the batch size is only 2*64 pages (0.5 MB). So any memory accounting changes of more than 0.5MB will overflow the per cpu counter into the global counter. Instead, for the new scheme, the batch size is configured to be 0.4% of the memory/cpu = 8MB (128 GB/64 /256), which is more inline with the memory size. I've done a repeated brk test of 800KB (from will-it-scale test suite) with 80 concurrent processes on a 4 socket Westmere machine with a total of 40 cores. Without the patch, about 80% of cpu is spent on spin-lock contention within the vm_committed_as counter. With the patch, there's a 73x speedup on the benchmark and the lock contention drops off almost entirely.
