SLUB: Free slabs and sort partial slab lists in kmem_cache_shrink
At kmem_cache_shrink check if we have any empty slabs on the partial
if so then remove them.
Also--as an anti-fragmentation measure--sort the partial slabs so that
the most fully allocated ones come first and the least allocated last.
The next allocations may fill up the nearly full slabs. Having the
least allocated slabs last gives them the maximum chance that their
remaining objects may be freed. Thus we can hopefully minimize the
partial slabs.
I think this is the best one can do in terms antifragmentation
measures. Real defragmentation (meaning moving objects out of slabs with
the least free objects to those that are almost full) can be implemted
by reverse scanning through the list produced here but that would mean
that we need to provide a callback at slab cache creation that allows
the deletion or moving of an object. This will involve slab API
changes, so defer for now.

slub: validation of slabs (metadata and guard zones)
This enables validation of slab. Validation means that all objects are
checked to see if there are redzone violations, if padding has been
overwritten or any pointers have been corrupted. Also checks the consistency
of slab counters.
Validation enables the detection of metadata corruption without the kernel
having to execute code that actually uses (allocs/frees) and object. It
allows one to make sure that the slab metainformation and the guard values
around an object have not been compromised.
A single slabcache can be checked by writing a 1 to the "validate" file.
i.e.
echo 1 >/sys/slab/kmalloc-128/validate
or use the slabinfo tool to check all slabs
slabinfo -v
Error messages will show up in the syslog.
Note that validation can only reach slabs that are on a list. This means that
we are usually restricted to partial slabs and active slabs unless
SLAB_STORE_USER is active which will build a full slab list and allows
validation of slabs that are fully in use. Booting with "slub_debug" set will
enable SLAB_STORE_USER and then full diagnostic are available.
Note that we attempt to push cpu slabs back to the lists when we start the
check. If the cpu slab is reactivated before we get to it (another processor
grabs it before we get to it) then it cannot be checked.

Make page->private usable in compound pages
If we add a new flag so that we can distinguish between the first page and the
tail pages then we can avoid to use page->private in the first page.
page->private == page for the first page, so there is no real information in
there.
Freeing up page->private makes the use of compound pages more transparent.
They become more usable like real pages. Right now we have to be careful f.e.
if we are going beyond PAGE_SIZE allocations in the slab on i386 because we
can then no longer use the private field. This is one of the issues that
cause us not to support debugging for page size slabs in SLAB.
Having page->private available for SLUB would allow more meta information in
the page struct. I can probably avoid the 16 bit ints that I have in there
right now.
Also if page->private is available then a compound page may be equipped with
buffer heads. This may free up the way for filesystems to support larger
blocks than page size.
We add PageTail as an alias of PageReclaim. Compound pages cannot currently
be reclaimed. Because of the alias one needs to check PageCompound first.

SLUB core
This is a new slab allocator which was motivated by the complexity of the
existing code in mm/slab.c. It attempts to address a variety of concerns
with the existing implementation.
A. Management of object queues
A particular concern was the complex management of the numerous object
queues in SLAB. SLUB has no such queues. Instead we dedicate a slab for
each allocating CPU and use objects from a slab directly instead of
queueing them up.
B. Storage overhead of object queues
SLAB Object queues exist per node, per CPU. The alien cache queue even
has a queue array that contain a queue for each processor on each
node. For very large systems the number of queues and the number of
objects that may be caught in those queues grows exponentially. On our
systems with 1k nodes / processors we have several gigabytes just tied up
for storing references to objects for those queues This does not include
the objects that could be on those queues. One fears that the whole
memory of the machine could one day be consumed by those queues.
C. SLAB meta data overhead
SLAB has overhead at the beginning of each slab. This means that data
cannot be naturally aligned at the beginning of a slab block. SLUB keeps
all meta data in the corresponding page_struct. Objects can be naturally
aligned in the slab. F.e. a 128 byte object will be aligned at 128 byte
boundaries and can fit tightly into a 4k page with no bytes left over.
SLAB cannot do this.
D. SLAB has a complex cache reaper
SLUB does not need a cache reaper for UP systems. On SMP systems
the per CPU slab may be pushed back into partial list but that
operation is simple and does not require an iteration over a list
of objects. SLAB expires per CPU, shared and alien object queues
during cache reaping which may cause strange hold offs.
E. SLAB has complex NUMA policy layer support
SLUB pushes NUMA policy handling into the page allocator. This means that
allocation is coarser (SLUB does interleave on a page level) but that
situation was also present before 2.6.13. SLABs application of
policies to individual slab objects allocated in SLAB is
certainly a performance concern due to the frequent references to
memory policies which may lead a sequence of objects to come from
one node after another. SLUB will get a slab full of objects
from one node and then will switch to the next.
F. Reduction of the size of partial slab lists
SLAB has per node partial lists. This means that over time a large
number of partial slabs may accumulate on those lists. These can
only be reused if allocator occur on specific nodes. SLUB has a global
pool of partial slabs and will consume slabs from that pool to
decrease fragmentation.
G. Tunables
SLAB has sophisticated tuning abilities for each slab cache. One can
manipulate the queue sizes in detail. However, filling the queues still
requires the uses of the spin lock to check out slabs. SLUB has a global
parameter (min_slab_order) for tuning. Increasing the minimum slab
order can decrease the locking overhead. The bigger the slab order the
less motions of pages between per CPU and partial lists occur and the
better SLUB will be scaling.
G. Slab merging
We often have slab caches with similar parameters. SLUB detects those
on boot up and merges them into the corresponding general caches. This
leads to more effective memory use. About 50% of all caches can
be eliminated through slab merging. This will also decrease
slab fragmentation because partial allocated slabs can be filled
up again. Slab merging can be switched off by specifying
slub_nomerge on boot up.
Note that merging can expose heretofore unknown bugs in the kernel
because corrupted objects may now be placed differently and corrupt
differing neighboring objects. Enable sanity checks to find those.
H. Diagnostics
The current slab diagnostics are difficult to use and require a
recompilation of the kernel. SLUB contains debugging code that
is always available (but is kept out of the hot code paths).
SLUB diagnostics can be enabled via the "slab_debug" option.
Parameters can be specified to select a single or a group of
slab caches for diagnostics. This means that the system is running
with the usual performance and it is much more likely that
race conditions can be reproduced.
I. Resiliency
If basic sanity checks are on then SLUB is capable of detecting
common error conditions and recover as best as possible to allow the
system to continue.
J. Tracing
Tracing can be enabled via the slab_debug=T,<slabcache> option
during boot. SLUB will then protocol all actions on that slabcache
and dump the object contents on free.
K. On demand DMA cache creation.
Generally DMA caches are not needed. If a kmalloc is used with
__GFP_DMA then just create this single slabcache that is needed.
For systems that have no ZONE_DMA requirement the support is
completely eliminated.
L. Performance increase
Some benchmarks have shown speed improvements on kernbench in the
range of 5-10%. The locking overhead of slub is based on the
underlying base allocation size. If we can reliably allocate
larger order pages then it is possible to increase slub
performance much further. The anti-fragmentation patches may
enable further performance increases.

i386 UP + SMP, x86_64 UP + SMP + NUMA emulation, IA64 NUMA + Simulator

i386: use page allocator to allocate thread_info structure
i386 uses kmalloc to allocate the threadinfo structure assuming that the
allocations result in a page sized aligned allocation. That has worked so
far because SLAB exempts page sized slabs from debugging and aligns them in
special ways that goes beyond the restrictions imposed by
KMALLOC_ARCH_MINALIGN valid for other slabs in the kmalloc array.
SLUB also works fine without debugging since page sized allocations neatly
align at page boundaries. However, if debugging is switched on then SLUB
will extend the slab with debug information. The resulting slab is not
longer of page size. It will only be aligned following the requirements
imposed by KMALLOC_ARCH_MINALIGN. As a result the threadinfo structure may
not be page aligned which makes i386 fail to boot with SLUB debug on.
Replace the calls to kmalloc with calls into the page allocator.
An alternate solution may be to create a custom slab cache where the
alignment is set to PAGE_SIZE. That would allow slub debugging to be
applied to the threadinfo structure.

smaps: add clear_refs file to clear reference
Adds /proc/pid/clear_refs. When any non-zero number is written to this file,
pte_mkold() and ClearPageReferenced() is called for each pte and its
corresponding page, respectively, in that task's VMAs. This file is only
writable by the user who owns the task.
It is now possible to measure _approximately_ how much memory a task is using
by clearing the reference bits with
echo 1 > /proc/pid/clear_refs
and checking the reference count for each VMA from the /proc/pid/smaps output
at a measured time interval. For example, to observe the approximate change
in memory footprint for a task, write a script that clears the references
(echo 1 > /proc/pid/clear_refs), sleeps, and then greps for Pgs_Referenced and
extracts the size in kB. Add the sizes for each VMA together for the total
referenced footprint. Moments later, repeat the process and observe the
difference.
For example, using an efficient Mozilla:
accumulated time referenced memory
---------------- -----------------
0 s 408 kB
1 s 408 kB
2 s 556 kB
3 s 1028 kB
4 s 872 kB
5 s 1956 kB
6 s 416 kB
7 s 1560 kB
8 s 2336 kB
9 s 1044 kB
10 s 416 kB
This is a valuable tool to get an approximate measurement of the memory
footprint for a task.

Therefore, this patch defines a UPF_FIXED_PORT flag for the uart_port

Serial driver patch for the PMC-Sierra MSP71xx devices.
There are three different fixes:
1 Fix for DesignWare APB THRE errata: In brief, this is a non-standard
16550 in that the THRE interrupt will not re-assert itself simply by
disabling and re-enabling the THRI bit in the IER, it is only re-enabled
if a character is actually sent out.
It appears that the "8250-uart-backup-timer.patch" in the "mm" tree
also fixes it so we have dropped our initial workaround. This patch now
needs to be applied on top of that "mm" patch.
2 Fix for Busy Detect on LCR write: The DesignWare APB UART has a feature
which causes a new Busy Detect interrupt to be generated if it's busy
when the LCR is written. This fix saves the value of the LCR and
rewrites it after clearing the interrupt.
3 Workaround for interrupt/data concurrency issue: The SoC needs to
ensure that writes that can cause interrupts to be cleared reach the UART
before returning from the ISR. This fix reads a non-destructive register
on the UART so the read transaction completion ensures the previously
queued write transaction has also completed.

Revert "[PATCH] x86: __pa and __pa_symbol address space separation"
This was broken. It adds complexity, for no good reason. Rather than
separate __pa() and __pa_symbol(), we should deprecate __pa_symbol(),
and preferably __pa() too - and just use "virt_to_phys()" instead, which
is more readable and has nicer semantics.
However, right now, just undo the separation, and make __pa_symbol() be
the exact same as __pa(). That fixes the bugs this patch introduced,
and we can do the fairly obvious cleanups later.
Do the new __phys_addr() function (which is now the actual workhorse for
the unified __pa()/__pa_symbol()) as a real external function, that way
all the potential issues with compile/link-time optimizations of
constant symbol addresses go away, and we can also, if we choose to, add
more sanity-checking of the argument.

cmd64x: fix multiword and remove single-word DMA support
Fix the multiword DMA and drop the single-word DMA support (which nobody will
miss, I think). In order to do it, a number of changes was necessary:
- rename program_drive_counts() to program_cycle_times(), pass to it cycle's
total/active times instead of the clock counts, and convert them into the
active/recovery clocks there instead of cmd64x_tune_pio() -- this causes
quantize_timing() to also move;
- contrarywise, move all the code handling the address setup timing into
cmd64x_tune_pio(), so that setting MWDMA mode wouldn't change address setup;
- remove from the speedproc() method the bogus code pretending to set the DMA
timings by twiddling bits in the BMIDE status register, handle setting MWDMA
by just calling program_cycle_times(); while at it, improve the style of that
whole switch statement;
- stop fiddling with the DMA capable bits in the speedproc() method -- they do
not enable DMA, and are properly dealt with by the dma_host_{on,off} methods;
- don't set hwif->swdma_mask in the init_hwif() method anymore.
In addition to those changes, do the following:
- in cmd64x_tune_pio(), when writing to ARTTIM23 register preserve the interrupt
status bit, eliminate local_irq_{save|restore}() around this code as there's
*no* actual race with the interrupt handler, and move cmdprintk() to a more
fitting place -- after ide_get_best_pio_mode() call;
- make {arttim|drwtim}_regs arrays single-dimensional, indexed with drive->dn;
- rename {setup|recovery}_counts[] into more fitting {setup|recovery}_values[];
- in the speedproc() method, get rid of the duplicate reads/writes from/to the
UDIDETCRx registers and of the extra variable used to store the transfer mode
value after filtering, use another method of determining master/slave drive,
and cleanup useless parens;
- beautify cmdprintk() output here and there.
While at it, remove meaningless comment about the driver being used only on
UltraSPARC and long non-relevant RCS tag. :-)

sl82c105: DMA support code cleanup (take 4)
Fold the now equivalent code in the ide_dma_check() method into a mere call to
ide_use_dma(). Make config_for_dma() return non-zero if DMA mode has been set
and call it from the ide_dma_check() method instead of ide_dma_on().
Defer writing the DMA timings to the chip registers until DMA is really turned
on (and do not enable IORDY for DMA).
Remove unneeded code from the init_hwif() method, improve its overall looks.
Rename the dma_start(), ide_dma_check(), and ide_dma_lostirq() methods, and
also use more proper hwif->dma_command, fix printk() and comment in the latter
one as well. While at it, cleanup style in several places.

sl82c105: rework PIO support (take 2)
Get rid of the 'pio_speed' member of 'ide_drive_t' that was only used by this
driver by storing the PIO mode timings in the 'drive_data' instead -- this
allows us to greatly simplify the process of "reloading" of the chip's timing
register and do it right in sl82c150_dma_off_quietly() and to get rid of two
extra arguments to config_for_pio() -- which got renamed to sl82c105_tune_pio()
and now returns a PIO mode selected, with ide_config_drive_speed() call moved
into the tuneproc() method, now called sl82c105_tune_drive() with the code to
set drive's 'io_32bit' and 'unmask' flags in its turn moved to its proper place
in the init_hwif() method.
Also, while at it, rename get_timing_sl82c105() into get_pio_timings() and get
rid of the code in it clamping cycle counts to 32 which was both incorrect and
never executed anyway...

[ARM] mm 10: allow memory type to be specified with ioremap
__ioremap() took a set of page table flags (specifically the cacheable
and bufferable bits) to control the mapping type. However, with
the advent of ARMv6, this is far too limited.
Replace the page table flags with a memory type index, so that the
desired attributes can be selected from the mem_type table.
Finally, to prevent silent miscompilation due to the differing
arguments, rename the __ioremap() and __ioremap_pfn() functions.

[TG3]: Remove reset during MAC address changes.
The reset was added a while back so that ASF could re-init whatever
MAC address it wanted to use after the MAC address was changed.
Instead of resetting, we can just keep MAC address 1 unchanged during
MAC address changes if MAC address 1 is different from MAC address 0.
This fixes 2 problems:
1. Bonding calls set_mac_address in contexts that cannot sleep.
It no longer sleeps with the chip reset removed.
2. When ASF shares the same MAC address as the NIC, it needs to
always do that even when the MAC address is changed.
