crash_dump: export is_kdump_kernel to modules, consolidate elfcorehdr_addr, setup_elfcorehdr and saved_max_pfn

2011-03-24T02:47:19+00:00

The Xen PV drivers in a crashed HVM guest can not connect to the dom0
backend drivers because both frontend and backend drivers are still in
connected state.  To run the connection reset function only in case of a
crashdump, the is_kdump_kernel() function needs to be available for the PV
driver modules.

Consolidate elfcorehdr_addr, setup_elfcorehdr and saved_max_pfn into
kernel/crash_dump.c Also export elfcorehdr_addr to make is_kdump_kernel()
usable for modules.

Leave 'elfcorehdr' as early_param().  This changes powerpc from __setup()
to early_param().  It adds an address range check from x86 also on ia64
and powerpc.

include cleanup: Update gfp.h and slab.h includes to prepare for breaking implicit slab.h inclusion from percpu.h

2010-03-30T13:02:32+00:00

percpu.h is included by sched.h and module.h and thus ends up being
included when building most .c files.  percpu.h includes slab.h which
in turn includes gfp.h making everything defined by the two files
universally available and complicating inclusion dependencies.

percpu.h -> slab.h dependency is about to be removed.  Prepare for
this change by updating users of gfp and slab facilities include those
headers directly instead of assuming availability.  As this conversion
needs to touch large number of source files, the following script is
used as the basis of conversion.

  http://userweb.kernel.org/~tj/misc/slabh-sweep.py

The script does the followings.

* Scan files for gfp and slab usages and update includes such that
  only the necessary includes are there.  ie. if only gfp is used,
  gfp.h, if slab is used, slab.h.

* When the script inserts a new include, it looks at the include
  blocks and try to put the new include such that its order conforms
  to its surrounding.  It's put in the include block which contains
  core kernel includes, in the same order that the rest are ordered -
  alphabetical, Christmas tree, rev-Xmas-tree or at the end if there
  doesn't seem to be any matching order.

* If the script can't find a place to put a new include (mostly
  because the file doesn't have fitting include block), it prints out
  an error message indicating which .h file needs to be added to the
  file.

The conversion was done in the following steps.

1. The initial automatic conversion of all .c files updated slightly
   over 4000 files, deleting around 700 includes and adding ~480 gfp.h
   and ~3000 slab.h inclusions.  The script emitted errors for ~400
   files.

2. Each error was manually checked.  Some didn't need the inclusion,
   some needed manual addition while adding it to implementation .h or
   embedding .c file was more appropriate for others.  This step added
   inclusions to around 150 files.

3. The script was run again and the output was compared to the edits
   from #2 to make sure no file was left behind.

4. Several build tests were done and a couple of problems were fixed.
   e.g. lib/decompress_*.c used malloc/free() wrappers around slab
   APIs requiring slab.h to be added manually.

5. The script was run on all .h files but without automatically
   editing them as sprinkling gfp.h and slab.h inclusions around .h
   files could easily lead to inclusion dependency hell.  Most gfp.h
   inclusion directives were ignored as stuff from gfp.h was usually
   wildly available and often used in preprocessor macros.  Each
   slab.h inclusion directive was examined and added manually as
   necessary.

6. percpu.h was updated not to include slab.h.

7. Build test were done on the following configurations and failures
   were fixed.  CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL was turned off for all tests (as my
   distributed build env didn't work with gcov compiles) and a few
   more options had to be turned off depending on archs to make things
   build (like ipr on powerpc/64 which failed due to missing writeq).

   * x86 and x86_64 UP and SMP allmodconfig and a custom test config.
   * powerpc and powerpc64 SMP allmodconfig
   * sparc and sparc64 SMP allmodconfig
   * ia64 SMP allmodconfig
   * s390 SMP allmodconfig
   * alpha SMP allmodconfig
   * um on x86_64 SMP allmodconfig

8. percpu.h modifications were reverted so that it could be applied as
   a separate patch and serve as bisection point.

Given the fact that I had only a couple of failures from tests on step
6, I'm fairly confident about the coverage of this conversion patch.
If there is a breakage, it's likely to be something in one of the arch
headers which should be easily discoverable easily on most builds of
the specific arch.

[IA64] Convert ia64 to use int-ll64.h

2009-06-17T16:33:49+00:00

It is generally agreed that it would be beneficial for u64 to be an
unsigned long long on all architectures.  ia64 (in common with several
other 64-bit architectures) currently uses unsigned long.  Migrating
piecemeal is too painful; this giant patch fixes all compilation warnings
and errors that come as a result of switching to use int-ll64.h.

Note that userspace will still see __u64 defined as unsigned long.  This
is important as it affects C++ name mangling.

 u64 for start/end rather than unsigned long]

[IA64] kexec fails on systems with blocks of uncached memory

2008-09-22T21:21:19+00:00

Currently a memory segment in memory map with attribute of EFI_MEMORY_UC
is denoted as "System RAM" in /proc/iomem, while memory of attribute
(EFI_MEMORY_WB|EFI_MEMORY_UC) is also labeled the same.

The kexec utility then includes uncached memory as part of vmcore. The
kdump kernel MCA'ed when it tries to save the vmcore to a disk. A normal
"cached" access may cause MCAs.

This patch would label memory with attribute of EFI_MEMORY_UC only as
"Uncached RAM" so that kexec would know not to include it in the vmcore.
I will submit a separate kexec-tools patch to the kexec list.

[IA64] Multiple outstanding ptc.g instruction support

2008-04-04T18:05:59+00:00

According to SDM2.2, Itanium supports multiple outstanding ptc.g instructions.
But current kernel function ia64_global_tlb_purge() uses a spinlock to serialize
ptc.g instructions issued by multiple processors. This serialization might have
scalability issue on a big SMP machine where many processors could purge TLB
in parallel.

The patch fixes this problem by issuing multiple ptc.g instructions in
ia64_global_tlb_purge(). It also adds support for the "PALO" table to get
a platform view of the max number of outstanding ptc.g instructions (which
may be different from the processor view found from PAL_VM_SUMMARY).

PALO specification can be found at: http://www.dig64.org/home/DIG64_PALO_R1_0.pdf

[IA64] update efi region debugging to use MB, GB and TB as well as KB

2008-03-06T17:34:11+00:00

When EFI_DEBUG is defined to a non-zero value in arch/ia64/kernel/efi.c,
the efi memory regions are displayed. This patch enhances the
display code in a few ways:

1. Use TB, GB and MB as well as KB as units.
   Although this introduces rounding errors (KB doesn't as
   size is always a multiple of 4Kb), it does make
   things a lot more readable.

   Also as the range is also shown, it is possible to note the exact size
   if it is important. In my experience, the size field is mostly useful
   for getting a general idea of the size of a region.

   On the rx2620 that I use, there actually is an 8TB region (though not
   backed by physical memory, and 8TB really is a lot more readable than
   8589934592KB.

2. pad the size field with leading spaces to further improve readability

   ...
   ... (   8MB)
   ... ( 928MB)
   ... (   3MB)
   ...

   vs

   ...
   ... (8MB)
   ... (928MB)
   ... (3MB)
   ...

3. Pad the attr field out to 64bits using leading zeros,
   to further improve readability.

   ...
   mem05: type= 2, attr=0x0000000000000008, range=[0x0000000004000000-0x000000000481f000) (   8MB)
   mem06: type= 7, attr=0x0000000000000008, range=[0x000000000481f000-0x000000003e876000) ( 928MB)
   mem07: type= 5, attr=0x8000000000000008, range=[0x000000003e876000-0x000000003eb8e000) (   3MB)
   mem08: type= 4, attr=0x0000000000000008, range=[0x000000003eb8e000-0x000000003ee7a000) (   2MB)
   ...

   ...
   mem05: type= 2, attr=0x8, range=[0x0000000004000000-0x000000000481f000) (   8MB)
   mem06: type= 7, attr=0x8, range=[0x000000000481f000-0x000000003e876000) ( 928MB)
   mem07: type= 5, attr=0x8000000000000008, range=[0x000000003e876000-0x000000003eb8e000) (   3MB)
   mem08: type= 4, attr=0x8, range=[0x000000003eb8e000-0x000000003ee7a000) (   2MB)
   ...

4. Use %d instead of %u for the index field, as i is a signed int.

N.B: This code is not compiled unless EFI_DEBUG is non 0.
