Unlike global OOM handling, memory cgroup code will invoke the OOM killer in any OOM situation because it has no way of telling faults occuring in kernel context - which could be handled more gracefully - from user-triggered faults. Pass a flag that identifies faults originating in user space from the architecture-specific fault handlers to generic code so that memcg OOM handling can be improved. Signed-off-by:

Currently hugepage migration works well only for pmd-based hugepages (mainly due to lack of testing,) so we had better not enable migration of other levels of hugepages until we are ready for it. Some users of hugepage migration (mbind, move_pages, and migrate_pages) do page table walk and check pud/pmd_huge() there, so they are safe. But the other users (softoffline and memory hotremove) don't do this, so without this patch they can try to migrate unexpected types of hugepages. To prevent this, we introduce hugepage_migration_support() as an architecture dependent check of whether hugepage are implemented on a pmd basis or not. And on some architecture multiple sizes of hugepages are available, so hugepage_migration_support() also checks hugepage size. Signed-off-by:

The last remaining use for the storage key of the s390 architecture is reference counting. The alternative is to make page table entries invalid while they are old. On access the fault handler marks the pte/pmd as young which makes the pte/pmd valid if the access rights allow read access. The pte/pmd invalidations required for software managed reference bits cost a bit of performance, on the other hand the RRBE/RRBM instructions to read and reset the referenced bits are quite expensive as well.

Improve the encoding of the different pte types and the naming of the page, segment table and region table bits. Due to the different pte encoding the hugetlbfs primitives need to be adapted as well. To improve compatability with common code make the huge ptes use the encoding of normal ptes. The conversion between the pte and pmd encoding for a huge pte is done with set_huge_pte_at and huge_ptep_get. Overall the code is now easier to understand. Reviewed-by:

The correct limit is (1UL << 53). As the TASK_SIZE has different values (4TB vs 8PB) dependent on the existance of the fourth page table level, create a new define 'TASK_MAX_SIZE' for (1UL << 53).

The __cpuinit type of throwaway sections might have made sense some time ago when RAM was more constrained, but now the savings do not offset the cost and complications. For example, the fix in commit 5e427ec2 ("x86: Fix bit corruption at CPU resume time") is a good example of the nasty type of bugs that can be created with improper use of the various __init prefixes. After a discussion on LKML[1] it was decided that cpuinit should go the way of devinit and be phased out. Once all the users are gone, we can then finally remove the macros themselves from linux/init.h. Note that some harmless section mismatch warnings may result, since notify_cpu_starting() and cpu_up() are arch independent (kernel/cpu.c) are flagged as __cpuinit -- so if we remove the __cpuinit from arch specific callers, we will also get section mismatch warnings. As an intermediate step, we intend to turn the linux/init.h cpuinit content into no-ops as early as possible, since that will get rid of these warnings. In any case, they are temporary and harmless. This removes all the arch/s390 uses of the __cpuinit macros from all C files. Currently s390 does not have any __CPUINIT used in assembly files.

With git commit 996b4a7d "s390/mem_detect: remove artificial kdump memory types" the memory detection code got simplified. As a side effect the array that describes memory chunks may now contain empty (zeroed) entries. All call sites can handle this except for drivers/s390/char/zcore.c::zcore_memmap_open which has a really odd user space interface. The easiest fix is to change the memory hole handling code, so that no empty entries exist before the last valid entry is reached. Signed-off-by:

So fix this and only detect memory up to a user supplied "mem=" limit if specified. Reported-by:

The sparse code, when asking the architecture to populate the vmemmap, specifies the section range as a starting page and a number of pages. This is an awkward interface, because none of the arch-specific code actually thinks of the range in terms of 'struct page' units and always translates it to bytes first. In addition, later patches mix huge page and regular page backing for the vmemmap. For this, they need to call vmemmap_populate_basepages() on sub-section ranges with PAGE_SIZE and PMD_SIZE in mind. But these are not necessarily multiples of the 'struct page' size and so this unit is too coarse. Just translate the section range into bytes once in the generic sparse code, then pass byte ranges down the stack. Signed-off-by:

This requires replacing some more pte_xxx functions in mm/hugetlbfs.c with a huge_pte_xxx version. This patch introduces those huge_pte_xxx functions and their generic implementation in asm-generic/hugetlb.h, which will now be included on all architectures supporting hugetlbfs apart from s390.

The gmap_map_segment function creates a special invalid segment table entry with the address of the requested target location in the process address space. The first access will create the connection between the gmap segment table and the target page table of the main process. If two threads do this concurrently both will walk the page tables and allocate a gmap_rmap structure for the same segment table entry. To avoid the race recheck the segment table entry after taking to page table lock. Signed-off-by:

Implement gmap_translate() function which translates a guest absolute address to a user space process address without establishing the guest page table entries. This is useful for kvm guest address translations where no memory access is expected to happen soon (e.g. tprot exception handler). Signed-off-by:

Use sske with multiple block control to initialize storage keys within a 1 MB frame at once. It turned out that the sske with mb=1 is an order of magnitude faster than pfmf. This is only an issue for very large systems (several 100GB) where storage key initialization could last more than a minute. Signed-off-by:
