mm: remove obsolete alloc_remap()

2018-03-16T09:56:13+00:00

Tile was the only remaining architecture to implement alloc_remap(),
and since that is being removed, there is no point in keeping this
function.

Removing all callers simplifies the mem_map handling.

mm: define memblock_virt_alloc_try_nid_raw

2017-11-16T02:21:05+00:00

* A new variant of memblock_virt_alloc_* allocations:
memblock_virt_alloc_try_nid_raw()
    - Does not zero the allocated memory
    - Does not panic if request cannot be satisfied

* optimize early system hash allocations

Clients can call alloc_large_system_hash() with flag: HASH_ZERO to
specify that memory that was allocated for system hash needs to be
zeroed, otherwise the memory does not need to be zeroed, and client will
initialize it.

If memory does not need to be zero'd, call the new
memblock_virt_alloc_raw() interface, and thus improve the boot
performance.

* debug for raw alloctor

When CONFIG_DEBUG_VM is enabled, this patch sets all the memory that is
returned by memblock_virt_alloc_try_nid_raw() to ones to ensure that no
places excpect zeroed memory.

License cleanup: add SPDX GPL-2.0 license identifier to files with no license

2017-11-02T10:10:55+00:00

Many source files in the tree are missing licensing information, which
makes it harder for compliance tools to determine the correct license.

By default all files without license information are under the default
license of the kernel, which is GPL version 2.

Update the files which contain no license information with the 'GPL-2.0'
SPDX license identifier.  The SPDX identifier is a legally binding
shorthand, which can be used instead of the full boiler plate text.

This patch is based on work done by Thomas Gleixner and Kate Stewart and
Philippe Ombredanne.

How this work was done:

Patches were generated and checked against linux-4.14-rc6 for a subset of
the use cases:
 - file had no licensing information it it.
 - file was a */uapi/* one with no licensing information in it,
 - file was a */uapi/* one with existing licensing information,

Further patches will be generated in subsequent months to fix up cases
where non-standard license headers were used, and references to license
had to be inferred by heuristics based on keywords.

The analysis to determine which SPDX License Identifier to be applied to
a file was done in a spreadsheet of side by side results from of the
output of two independent scanners (ScanCode & Windriver) producing SPDX
tag:value files created by Philippe Ombredanne.  Philippe prepared the
base worksheet, and did an initial spot review of a few 1000 files.

The 4.13 kernel was the starting point of the analysis with 60,537 files
assessed.  Kate Stewart did a file by file comparison of the scanner
results in the spreadsheet to determine which SPDX license identifier(s)
to be applied to the file. She confirmed any determination that was not
immediately clear with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.

Criteria used to select files for SPDX license identifier tagging was:
 - Files considered eligible had to be source code files.
 - Make and config files were included as candidates if they contained >5
   lines of source
 - File already had some variant of a license header in it (even if <5
   lines).

All documentation files were explicitly excluded.

The following heuristics were used to determine which SPDX license
identifiers to apply.

 - when both scanners couldn't find any license traces, file was
   considered to have no license information in it, and the top level
   COPYING file license applied.

   For non */uapi/* files that summary was:

   SPDX license identifier                            # files
   ---------------------------------------------------|-------
   GPL-2.0                                              11139

   and resulted in the first patch in this series.

   If that file was a */uapi/* path one, it was "GPL-2.0 WITH
   Linux-syscall-note" otherwise it was "GPL-2.0".  Results of that was:

   SPDX license identifier                            # files
   ---------------------------------------------------|-------
   GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note                        930

   and resulted in the second patch in this series.

 - if a file had some form of licensing information in it, and was one
   of the */uapi/* ones, it was denoted with the Linux-syscall-note if
   any GPL family license was found in the file or had no licensing in
   it (per prior point).  Results summary:

   SPDX license identifier                            # files
   ---------------------------------------------------|------
   GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note                       270
   GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note                      169
   ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-2-Clause)    21
   ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause)    17
   LGPL-2.1+ WITH Linux-syscall-note                      15
   GPL-1.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note                       14
   ((GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause)    5
   LGPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note                       4
   LGPL-2.1 WITH Linux-syscall-note                        3
   ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR MIT)              3
   ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) AND MIT)             1

   and that resulted in the third patch in this series.

 - when the two scanners agreed on the detected license(s), that became
   the concluded license(s).

 - when there was disagreement between the two scanners (one detected a
   license but the other didn't, or they both detected different
   licenses) a manual inspection of the file occurred.

 - In most cases a manual inspection of the information in the file
   resulted in a clear resolution of the license that should apply (and
   which scanner probably needed to revisit its heuristics).

 - When it was not immediately clear, the license identifier was
   confirmed with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.

 - If there was any question as to the appropriate license identifier,
   the file was flagged for further research and to be revisited later
   in time.

In total, over 70 hours of logged manual review was done on the
spreadsheet to determine the SPDX license identifiers to apply to the
source files by Kate, Philippe, Thomas and, in some cases, confirmation
by lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.

Kate also obtained a third independent scan of the 4.13 code base from
FOSSology, and compared selected files where the other two scanners
disagreed against that SPDX file, to see if there was new insights.  The
Windriver scanner is based on an older version of FOSSology in part, so
they are related.

Thomas did random spot checks in about 500 files from the spreadsheets
for the uapi headers and agreed with SPDX license identifier in the
files he inspected. For the non-uapi files Thomas did random spot checks
in about 15000 files.

In initial set of patches against 4.14-rc6, 3 files were found to have
copy/paste license identifier errors, and have been fixed to reflect the
correct identifier.

Additionally Philippe spent 10 hours this week doing a detailed manual
inspection and review of the 12,461 patched files from the initial patch
version early this week with:
 - a full scancode scan run, collecting the matched texts, detected
   license ids and scores
 - reviewing anything where there was a license detected (about 500+
   files) to ensure that the applied SPDX license was correct
 - reviewing anything where there was no detection but the patch license
   was not GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note to ensure that the applied
   SPDX license was correct

This produced a worksheet with 20 files needing minor correction.  This
worksheet was then exported into 3 different .csv files for the
different types of files to be modified.

These .csv files were then reviewed by Greg.  Thomas wrote a script to
parse the csv files and add the proper SPDX tag to the file, in the
format that the file expected.  This script was further refined by Greg
based on the output to detect more types of files automatically and to
distinguish between header and source .c files (which need different
comment types.)  Finally Greg ran the script using the .csv files to
generate the patches.

mm: zero hash tables in allocator

2017-07-06T23:24:33+00:00

Add a new flag HASH_ZERO which when provided grantees that the hash
table that is returned by alloc_large_system_hash() is zeroed.  In most
cases that is what is needed by the caller.  Use page level allocator's
__GFP_ZERO flags to zero the memory.  It is using memset() which is
efficient method to zero memory and is optimized for most platforms.

include/linux: apply __malloc attribute

2016-05-20T02:12:14+00:00

Attach the malloc attribute to a few allocation functions.  This helps
gcc generate better code by telling it that the return value doesn't
alias any existing pointers (which is even more valuable given the
pessimizations implied by -fno-strict-aliasing).

A simple example of what this allows gcc to do can be seen by looking at
the last part of drm_atomic_helper_plane_reset:

	plane->state = kzalloc(sizeof(*plane->state), GFP_KERNEL);

	if (plane->state) {
		plane->state->plane = plane;
		plane->state->rotation = BIT(DRM_ROTATE_0);
	}

which compiles to

    e8 99 bf d6 ff          callq  ffffffff8116d540 
    48 85 c0                test   %rax,%rax
    48 89 83 40 02 00 00    mov    %rax,0x240(%rbx)
    74 11                   je     ffffffff814015c4 
    48 89 18                mov    %rbx,(%rax)
    48 8b 83 40 02 00 00    mov    0x240(%rbx),%rax [*]
    c7 40 40 01 00 00 00    movl   $0x1,0x40(%rax)

With this patch applied, the instruction at [*] is elided, since the
store to plane->state->plane is known to not alter the value of
plane->state.

mem-hotplug: reset node managed pages when hot-adding a new pgdat

2014-11-14T00:17:06+00:00

In free_area_init_core(), zone->managed_pages is set to an approximate
value for lowmem, and will be adjusted when the bootmem allocator frees
pages into the buddy system.

But free_area_init_core() is also called by hotadd_new_pgdat() when
hot-adding memory.  As a result, zone->managed_pages of the newly added
node's pgdat is set to an approximate value in the very beginning.

Even if the memory on that node has node been onlined,
/sys/device/system/node/nodeXXX/meminfo has wrong value:

  hot-add node2 (memory not onlined)
  cat /sys/device/system/node/node2/meminfo
  Node 2 MemTotal:       33554432 kB
  Node 2 MemFree:               0 kB
  Node 2 MemUsed:        33554432 kB
  Node 2 Active:                0 kB

This patch fixes this problem by reset node managed pages to 0 after
hot-adding a new node.

1. Move reset_managed_pages_done from reset_node_managed_pages() to
   reset_all_zones_managed_pages()
2. Make reset_node_managed_pages() non-static
3. Call reset_node_managed_pages() in hotadd_new_pgdat() after pgdat
   is initialized
