x86,nobootmem: make alloc_bootmem_node fall back to other node when 32bit numa is used

looks like it allocates too much high address for bootmem.

Try to cut limit with get_max_mapped()

bootmem, x86: Fix 32bit numa system without RAM on node 0

2010-04-01T21:41:19+00:00

When 32bit numa is used, free_all_bootmem() will still only go over with
node id 0.

If node 0 doesn't have RAM installed, the lowest populated node
becomes low RAM.

This one fixes BOOTMEM path by iterating over the bdata_list.

-v3: add more comments, and fix bootmem path too.
-v4: seperate from one big patch

When 32bit NUMA is used, free_all_bootmem() will still only go over with
node id 0.

If node 0 doesn't have RAM installed, We need to go with node1
because early_node_map still use 1 for all ranges, and ram from node1
become low ram.

Use MAX_NUMNODES like 64-bit NUMA does.

Note: BOOTMEM path has the same problem.
      this bug exist before We have NO_BOOTMEM support.

-v3: add more comments, and fix bootmem path too.

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.

x86: Remove excessive early_res debug output

2010-03-24T18:51:08+00:00

Commit 08677214e318297 ("x86: Make 64 bit use early_res instead
of bootmem  before slab") introduced early_res replacement for
bootmem, but left code  in __free_pages_memory() which dumps all
the ranges that are beeing freed,  without any additional
information, causing some noise in dmesg during  bootup.

Just remove printing of the ranges, that doesn't provide
anything useful  anyway.

While at it, remove other commented-out KERN_DEBUG messages in
the NO_BOOTMEM code as well.

2010-02-12T17:41:59+00:00

Finally we can use early_res to replace bootmem for x86_64 now.

Still can use CONFIG_NO_BOOTMEM to enable it or not.

bootmem: Add free_bootmem_late()

2009-11-10T11:31:43+00:00

Add a new function for freeing bootmem after the bootmem
allocator has been released and the unreserved pages given to
the page allocator.

This allows us to reserve bootmem and then release it if we
later discover it was not needed.

( This new API will be used by the swiotlb code to recover
  a significant amount of RAM (64MB). )

kmemleak: Do not report alloc_bootmem blocks as leaks

2009-08-27T13:29:17+00:00

This patch sets the min_count for alloc_bootmem objects to 0 so that
they are never reported as leaks. This is because many of these blocks
are only referred via the physical address which is not looked up by
kmemleak.
