powerpc: reorder per-cpu NUMA information's initialization 2014-08-13T05:14:05+00:00 Nishanth Aravamudan nacc@linux.vnet.ibm.com 2014-07-17T23:15:12+00:00 2fabf084b6ad6337675d700b159a6091023544f2 There is an issue currently where NUMA information is used on powerpc (and possibly ia64) before it has been read from the device-tree, which leads to large slab consumption with CONFIG_SLUB and memoryless nodes. NUMA powerpc non-boot CPU's cpu_to_node/cpu_to_mem is only accurate after start_secondary(), similar to ia64, which is invoked via smp_init(). Commit 6ee0578b4daae ("workqueue: mark init_workqueues() as early_initcall()") made init_workqueues() be invoked via do_pre_smp_initcalls(), which is obviously before the secondary processors are online. Additionally, the following commits changed init_workqueues() to use cpu_to_node to determine the node to use for kthread_create_on_node: bce903809ab3f ("workqueue: add wq_numa_tbl_len and wq_numa_possible_cpumask[]") f3f90ad469342 ("workqueue: determine NUMA node of workers accourding to the allowed cpumask") Therefore, when init_workqueues() runs, it sees all CPUs as being on Node 0. On LPARs or KVM guests where Node 0 is memoryless, this leads to a high number of slab deactivations (http://www.spinics.net/lists/linux-mm/msg67489.html). Fix this by initializing the powerpc-specific CPU<->node/local memory node mapping as early as possible, which on powerpc is do_init_bootmem(). Currently that function initializes the mapping for the boot CPU, but we extend it to setup the mapping for all possible CPUs.

There is an issue currently where NUMA information is used on powerpc
(and possibly ia64) before it has been read from the device-tree, which
leads to large slab consumption with CONFIG_SLUB and memoryless nodes.

NUMA powerpc non-boot CPU's cpu_to_node/cpu_to_mem is only accurate
after start_secondary(), similar to ia64, which is invoked via
smp_init().

Commit 6ee0578b4daae ("workqueue: mark init_workqueues() as
early_initcall()") made init_workqueues() be invoked via
do_pre_smp_initcalls(), which is obviously before the secondary
processors are online.

Additionally, the following commits changed init_workqueues() to use
cpu_to_node to determine the node to use for kthread_create_on_node:

bce903809ab3f ("workqueue: add wq_numa_tbl_len and
wq_numa_possible_cpumask[]")
f3f90ad469342 ("workqueue: determine NUMA node of workers accourding to
the allowed cpumask")

Therefore, when init_workqueues() runs, it sees all CPUs as being on
Node 0. On LPARs or KVM guests where Node 0 is memoryless, this leads to
a high number of slab deactivations
(http://www.spinics.net/lists/linux-mm/msg67489.html).

Fix this by initializing the powerpc-specific CPU<->node/local memory
node mapping as early as possible, which on powerpc is
do_init_bootmem(). Currently that function initializes the mapping for
the boot CPU, but we extend it to setup the mapping for all possible
CPUs. Then, in smp_prepare_cpus(), we can correspondingly set the
per-cpu values for all possible CPUs. That ensures that before the
early_initcalls run (and really as early as possible), the per-cpu NUMA
mapping is accurate.

The core mm code will provide a default gate area based on
FIXADDR_USER_START and FIXADDR_USER_END if
!defined(__HAVE_ARCH_GATE_AREA) && defined(AT_SYSINFO_EHDR).

This default is only useful for ia64.  arm64, ppc, s390, sh, tile, 64-bit
UML, and x86_32 have their own code just to disable it.  arm, 32-bit UML,
and x86_64 have gate areas, but they have their own implementations.

This gets rid of the default and moves the code into ia64.

This should save some code on architectures without a gate area: it's now
possible to inline the gate_area functions in the default case.
