  1. Merge branch 'akpm' (patches from Andrew)

    Merge slub bulk allocator updates from Andrew Morton:
     "This missed the merge window because I was waiting for some repairs to
      come in.  Nothing actually uses the bulk allocator yet and the changes
      to other code paths are pretty small.  And the net guys are waiting
      for this so they can start merging the client code"
    
    More comments from Jesper Dangaard Brouer:
     "The kmem_cache_alloc_bulk() call, in mm/slub.c, were included in
      previous kernel.  The present version contains a bug.  Vladimir
      Davydov noticed it contained a bug, when kernel is compiled with
      CONFIG_MEMCG_KMEM (see commit 03ec0ed: "slub: fix kmem cgroup
      bug in kmem_cache_alloc_bulk").  Plus the mem cgroup counterpart in
      kmem_cache_free_bulk() were missing (see commit 0337451 "slub:
      add missing kmem cgroup support to kmem_cache_free_bulk").
    
      I don't consider the fix stable-material because there are no in-tree
      users of the API.
    
      But with known bugs (for memcg) I cannot start using the API in the
      net-tree"

  9. slab/slub: adjust kmem_cache_alloc_bulk API

    Adjust kmem_cache_alloc_bulk API before we have any real users.
    
    Adjust API to return type 'int' instead of previously type 'bool'.  This
    is done to allow future extension of the bulk alloc API.
    
    A future extension could be to allow SLUB to stop at a page boundary, when
    specified by a flag, and then return the number of objects.
    
    The advantage of this approach, would make it easier to make bulk alloc
    run without local IRQs disabled.  With an approach of cmpxchg "stealing"
    the entire c->freelist or page->freelist.  To avoid overshooting we would
    stop processing at a slab-page boundary.  Else we always end up returning
    some objects at the cost of another cmpxchg.
    
    To keep compatible with future users of this API linking against an older
    kernel when using the new flag, we need to return the number of allocated
    objects with this API change.

  10. slub: add missing kmem cgroup support to kmem_cache_free_bulk

    Initial implementation missed support for kmem cgroup support in
    kmem_cache_free_bulk() call, add this.
    
    If CONFIG_MEMCG_KMEM is not enabled, the compiler should be smart enough
    to not add any asm code.
    
    Incoming bulk free objects can belong to different kmem cgroups, and
    object free call can happen at a later point outside memcg context.  Thus,
    we need to keep the orig kmem_cache, to correctly verify if a memcg object
    match against its "root_cache" (s->memcg_params.root_cache).

  11. slub: fix kmem cgroup bug in kmem_cache_alloc_bulk

    The call slab_pre_alloc_hook() interacts with kmemgc and is not allowed to
    be called several times inside the bulk alloc for loop, due to the call to
    memcg_kmem_get_cache().
    
    This would result in hitting the VM_BUG_ON in __memcg_kmem_get_cache.
    
    As suggested by Vladimir Davydov, change slab_post_alloc_hook() to be able
    to handle an array of objects.
    
    A subtle detail is, loop iterator "i" in slab_post_alloc_hook() must have
    same type (size_t) as size argument.  This helps the compiler to easier
    realize that it can remove the loop, when all debug statements inside loop
    evaluates to nothing.  Note, this is only an issue because the kernel is
    compiled with GCC option: -fno-strict-overflow
    
    In slab_alloc_node() the compiler inlines and optimizes the invocation of
    slab_post_alloc_hook(s, flags, 1, &object) by removing the loop and access
    object directly.

  12. slub: optimize bulk slowpath free by detached freelist

    This change focus on improving the speed of object freeing in the
    "slowpath" of kmem_cache_free_bulk.
    
    The calls slab_free (fastpath) and __slab_free (slowpath) have been
    extended with support for bulk free, which amortize the overhead of
    the (locked) cmpxchg_double.
    
    To use the new bulking feature, we build what I call a detached
    freelist.  The detached freelist takes advantage of three properties:
    
     1) the free function call owns the object that is about to be freed,
        thus writing into this memory is synchronization-free.
    
     2) many freelist's can co-exist side-by-side in the same slab-page
        each with a separate head pointer.
    
     3) it is the visibility of the head pointer that needs synchronization.
    
    Given these properties, the brilliant part is that the detached
    freelist can be constructed without any need for synchronization.  The
    freelist is constructed directly in the page objects, without any
    synchronization needed.  The detached freelist is allocated on the
    stack of the function call kmem_cache_free_bulk.  Thus, the freelist
    head pointer is not visible to other CPUs.
    
    All objects in a SLUB freelist must belong to the same slab-page.
    Thus, constructing the detached freelist is about matching objects
    that belong to the same slab-page.  The bulk free array is scanned is
    a progressive manor with a limited look-ahead facility.
    
    Kmem debug support is handled in call of slab_free().
    
    Notice kmem_cache_free_bulk no longer need to disable IRQs. This
    only slowed down single free bulk with approx 3 cycles.

    SLUB fastpath single object quick reuse: 47 cycles(tsc) 11.931 ns
    
    To get stable and comparable numbers, the kernel have been booted with
    "slab_merge" (this also improve performance for larger bulk sizes).
    
    Performance data, compared against fallback bulking:

    Performance with normal SLUB merging is significantly slower for
    larger bulking.  This is believed to (primarily) be an effect of not
    having to share the per-CPU data-structures, as tuning per-CPU size
    can achieve similar performance.

  13. slub: support for bulk free with SLUB freelists

    Make it possible to free a freelist with several objects by adjusting API
    of slab_free() and __slab_free() to have head, tail and an objects counter
    (cnt).
    
    Tail being NULL indicate single object free of head object.  This allow
    compiler inline constant propagation in slab_free() and
    slab_free_freelist_hook() to avoid adding any overhead in case of single
    object free.
    
    This allows a freelist with several objects (all within the same
    slab-page) to be free'ed using a single locked cmpxchg_double in
    __slab_free() and with an unlocked cmpxchg_double in slab_free().
    
    Object debugging on the free path is also extended to handle these
    freelists.  When CONFIG_SLUB_DEBUG is enabled it will also detect if
    objects don't belong to the same slab-page.
    
    These changes are needed for the next patch to bulk free the detached
    freelists it introduces and constructs.
    
    Micro benchmarking showed no performance reduction due to this change,
    when debugging is turned off (compiled with CONFIG_SLUB_DEBUG).

  14. parisc: Map kernel text and data on huge pages

    Adjust the linker script and map_pages() to map kernel text and data on
    physical 1MB huge/large pages.

  15. parisc: Add Huge Page and HUGETLBFS support

    This patch adds huge page support to allow userspace to allocate huge
    pages and to use hugetlbfs filesystem on 32- and 64-bit Linux kernels.
    A later patch will add kernel support to map kernel text and data on
    huge pages.
    
    The only requirement is, that the kernel needs to be compiled for a
    PA8X00 CPU (PA2.0 architecture). Older PA1.X CPUs do not support
    variable page sizes. 64bit Kernels are compiled for PA2.0 by default.
    
    Technically on parisc multiple physical huge pages may be needed to
    emulate standard 2MB huge pages.

  16. parisc: Use long branch to do_syscall_trace_exit

    to reach the do_syscall_trace_exit function from the gateway page.
    A huge page enabled kernel may need the additional branch distance bits.

  17. parisc: Increase initial kernel mapping to 32MB on 64bit kernel

    For the 64bit kernel the initially 16 MB kernel memory might become too
    small if you build a kernel with many modules built-in and with kernel
    text and data areas mapped on huge pages.
    
    This patch increases the initial mapping to 32MB for 64bit kernels and
    keeps 16MB for 32bit kernels.

  18. parisc: Initialize the fault vector earlier in the boot process.

    A fault vector on parisc needs to be 2K aligned.  Furthermore the
    checksum of the fault vector needs to sum up to 0 which is being
    calculated and written at runtime.
    
    Up to now we aligned both PA20 and PA11 fault vectors on the same 4K
    page in order to easily write the checksum after having mapped the
    kernel read-only (by mapping this page only as read-write).
    But when we want to map the kernel text and data on huge pages this
    makes things harder.
    So, simplify it by aligning both fault vectors on 2K boundries and write
    the checksum before we map the page read-only.

  19. parisc: Add defines for Huge page support

    Huge pages on parisc will have the same size as one pmd table, which
    is on a 64bit kernel 2MB on a kernel with 4K kernel page sizes, and
    on a 32bit kernel 4MB when used with 4K kernel pages.
    
    Since parisc does not physically supports 2MB huge page sizes, emulate
    it with two consecutive 1MB page sizes instead. Keeping the same huge
    page size as one pmd will allow us to add transparent huge page support
    later on.
    
    Bit 21 in the pte flags was unused and will now be used to mark a page
    as huge page (_PAGE_HPAGE_BIT).
