2024-09-03printf: remove %pGt supportMatthew Wilcox (Oracle)1-3/+1
Patch series "Increase the number of bits available in page_type". Kent wants more than 16 bits in page_type, so I resurrected this old patch and expanded it a bit. It's a bit more efficient than our current scheme (1 4-byte insn vs 3 insns of 13 bytes total) to test a single page type. This patch (of 4): An upcoming patch will convert page type from being a bitfield to a single byte, so we will not be able to use %pG to print the page type any more. The printing of the symbolic name will be restored in that patch.

Commit 79365026f869 ("crash: add a new kexec flag for hotplug support") generalizes the crash hotplug support to allow architectures to update multiple kexec segments on CPU/Memory hotplug and not just elfcorehdr. Therefore, update the relevant kernel documentation to reflect the same. No functional change.

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip Pull interrupt subsystem updates from Thomas Gleixner: "Core: - Provide a new mechanism to create interrupt domains. The existing interfaces have already too many parameters and it's a pain to expand any of this for new required functionality. The new function takes a pointer to a data structure as argument. The data structure combines all existing parameters and allows for easy extension. The first extension for this is to handle the instantiation of generic interrupt chips at the core level and to allow drivers to provide extra init/exit callbacks. This is necessary to do the full interrupt chip initialization before the new domain is published, so that concurrent usage sites won't see a half initialized interrupt domain. Similar problems exist on teardown. This has turned out to be a real problem due to the deferred and parallel probing which was added in recent years. Handling this at the core level allows to remove quite some accrued boilerplate code in existing drivers and avoids horrible workarounds at the driver level. - The usual small improvements all over the place Drivers: - Add support for LAN966x OIC and RZ/Five SoC - Split the STM ExtI driver into a microcontroller and a SMP version to allow building the latter as a module for multi-platform kernels - Enable MSI support for Armada 370XP on platforms which do not support IPIs - The usual small fixes and enhancements all over the place" * tag 'irq-core-2024-07-15' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip: (59 commits) irqdomain: Fix the kernel-doc and plug it into Documentation genirq: Set IRQF_COND_ONESHOT in request_irq() irqchip/imx-irqsteer: Handle runtime power management correctly irqchip/gic-v3: Pass #redistributor-regions to gic_of_setup_kvm_info() irqchip/bcm2835: Enable SKIP_SET_WAKE and MASK_ON_SUSPEND irqchip/gic-v4: Make sure a VPE is locked when VMAPP is issued irqchip/gic-v4: Substitute vmovp_lock for a per-VM lock irqchip/gic-v4: Always configure affinity on VPE activation Revert "irqchip/dw-apb-ictl: Support building as module" Revert "Loongarch: Support loongarch avec" arm64: Kconfig: Allow build irq-stm32mp-exti driver as module ARM: stm32: Allow build irq-stm32mp-exti driver as module irqchip/stm32mp-exti: Allow building as module irqchip/stm32mp-exti: Rename internal symbols irqchip/stm32-exti: Split MCU and MPU code arm64: Kconfig: Select STM32MP_EXTI on STM32 platforms ARM: stm32: Use different EXTI driver on ARMv7m and ARMv7a irqchip/stm32-exti: Add CONFIG_STM32MP_EXTI irqchip/dw-apb-ictl: Support building as module irqchip/riscv-aplic: Simplify the initialization code ...

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/mm Pull MM updates from Andrew Morton: - In the series "mm: Avoid possible overflows in dirty throttling" Jan Kara addresses a couple of issues in the writeback throttling code. These fixes are also targetted at -stable kernels. - Ryusuke Konishi's series "nilfs2: fix potential issues related to reserved inodes" does that. This should actually be in the mm-nonmm-stable tree, along with the many other nilfs2 patches. My bad. - More folio conversions from Kefeng Wang in the series "mm: convert to folio_alloc_mpol()" - Kemeng Shi has sent some cleanups to the writeback code in the series "Add helper functions to remove repeated code and improve readability of cgroup writeback" - Kairui Song has made the swap code a little smaller and a little faster in the series "mm/swap: clean up and optimize swap cache index". - In the series "mm/memory: cleanly support zeropage in vm_insert_page*(), vm_map_pages*() and vmf_insert_mixed()" David Hildenbrand has reworked the rather sketchy handling of the use of the zeropage in MAP_SHARED mappings. I don't see any runtime effects here - more a cleanup/understandability/maintainablity thing. - Dev Jain has improved selftests/mm/va_high_addr_switch.c's handling of higher addresses, for aarch64. The (poorly named) series is "Restructure va_high_addr_switch". - The core TLB handling code gets some cleanups and possible slight optimizations in Bang Li's series "Add update_mmu_tlb_range() to simplify code". - Jane Chu has improved the handling of our fake-an-unrecoverable-memory-error testing feature MADV_HWPOISON in the series "Enhance soft hwpoison handling and injection". - Jeff Johnson has sent a billion patches everywhere to add MODULE_DESCRIPTION() to everything. Some landed in this pull. - In the series "mm: cleanup MIGRATE_SYNC_NO_COPY mode", Kefeng Wang has simplified migration's use of hardware-offload memory copying. - Yosry Ahmed performs more folio API conversions in his series "mm: zswap: trivial folio conversions". - In the series "large folios swap-in: handle refault cases first", Chuanhua Han inches us forward in the handling of large pages in the swap code. This is a cleanup and optimization, working toward the end objective of full support of large folio swapin/out. - In the series "mm,swap: cleanup VMA based swap readahead window calculation", Huang Ying has contributed some cleanups and a possible fixlet to his VMA based swap readahead code. - In the series "add mTHP support for anonymous shmem" Baolin Wang has taught anonymous shmem mappings to use multisize THP. By default this is a no-op - users must opt in vis sysfs controls. Dramatic improvements in pagefault latency are realized. - David Hildenbrand has some cleanups to our remaining use of page_mapcount() in the series "fs/proc: move page_mapcount() to fs/proc/internal.h". - David also has some highmem accounting cleanups in the series "mm/highmem: don't track highmem pages manually". - Build-time fixes and cleanups from John Hubbard in the series "cleanups, fixes, and progress towards avoiding "make headers"". - Cleanups and consolidation of the core pagemap handling from Barry Song in the series "mm: introduce pmd|pte_needs_soft_dirty_wp helpers and utilize them". - Lance Yang's series "Reclaim lazyfree THP without splitting" has reduced the latency of the reclaim of pmd-mapped THPs under fairly common circumstances. A 10x speedup is seen in a microbenchmark. It does this by punting to aother CPU but I guess that's a win unless all CPUs are pegged. - hugetlb_cgroup cleanups from Xiu Jianfeng in the series "mm/hugetlb_cgroup: rework on cftypes". - Miaohe Lin's series "Some cleanups for memory-failure" does just that thing. - Someone other than SeongJae has developed a DAMON feature in Honggyu Kim's series "DAMON based tiered memory management for CXL memory". This adds DAMON features which may be used to help determine the efficiency of our placement of CXL/PCIe attached DRAM. - DAMON user API centralization and simplificatio work in SeongJae Park's series "mm/damon: introduce DAMON parameters online commit function". - In the series "mm: page_type, zsmalloc and page_mapcount_reset()" David Hildenbrand does some maintenance work on zsmalloc - partially modernizing its use of pageframe fields. - Kefeng Wang provides more folio conversions in the series "mm: remove page_maybe_dma_pinned() and page_mkclean()". - More cleanup from David Hildenbrand, this time in the series "mm/memory_hotplug: use PageOffline() instead of PageReserved() for !ZONE_DEVICE". It "enlightens memory hotplug more about PageOffline() pages" and permits the removal of some virtio-mem hacks. - Barry Song's series "mm: clarify folio_add_new_anon_rmap() and __folio_add_anon_rmap()" is a cleanup to the anon folio handling in preparation for mTHP (multisize THP) swapin. - Kefeng Wang's series "mm: improve clear and copy user folio" implements more folio conversions, this time in the area of large folio userspace copying. - The series "Docs/mm/damon/maintaier-profile: document a mailing tool and community meetup series" tells people how to get better involved with other DAMON developers. From SeongJae Park. - A large series ("kmsan: Enable on s390") from Ilya Leoshkevich does that. - David Hildenbrand sends along more cleanups, this time against the migration code. The series is "mm/migrate: move NUMA hinting fault folio isolation + checks under PTL". - Jan Kara has found quite a lot of strangenesses and minor errors in the readahead code. He addresses this in the series "mm: Fix various readahead quirks". - SeongJae Park's series "selftests/damon: test DAMOS tried regions and {min,max}_nr_regions" adds features and addresses errors in DAMON's self testing code. - Gavin Shan has found a userspace-triggerable WARN in the pagecache code. The series "mm/filemap: Limit page cache size to that supported by xarray" addresses this. The series is marked cc:stable. - Chengming Zhou's series "mm/ksm: cmp_and_merge_page() optimizations and cleanup" cleans up and slightly optimizes KSM. - Roman Gushchin has separated the memcg-v1 and memcg-v2 code - lots of code motion. The series (which also makes the memcg-v1 code Kconfigurable) are "mm: memcg: separate legacy cgroup v1 code and put under config option" and "mm: memcg: put cgroup v1-specific memcg data under CONFIG_MEMCG_V1" - Dan Schatzberg's series "Add swappiness argument to memory.reclaim" adds an additional feature to this cgroup-v2 control file. - The series "Userspace controls soft-offline pages" from Jiaqi Yan permits userspace to stop the kernel's automatic treatment of excessive correctable memory errors. In order to permit userspace to monitor and handle this situation. - Kefeng Wang's series "mm: migrate: support poison recover from migrate folio" teaches the kernel to appropriately handle migration from poisoned source folios rather than simply panicing. - SeongJae Park's series "Docs/damon: minor fixups and improvements" does those things. - In the series "mm/zsmalloc: change back to per-size_class lock" Chengming Zhou improves zsmalloc's scalability and memory utilization. - Vivek Kasireddy's series "mm/gup: Introduce memfd_pin_folios() for pinning memfd folios" makes the GUP code use FOLL_PIN rather than bare refcount increments.

2024-07-03slab, rust: extend kmalloc() alignment guarantees to remove Rust paddingVlastimil Babka1-2/+4
Slab allocators have been guaranteeing natural alignment for power-of-two sizes since commit 59bb47985c1d ("mm, sl[aou]b: guarantee natural alignment for kmalloc(power-of-two)"), while any other sizes are guaranteed to be aligned only to ARCH_KMALLOC_MINALIGN bytes (although in practice are aligned more than that in non-debug scenarios). Rust's allocator API specifies size and alignment per allocation, which have to satisfy the following rules, per Alice Ryhl [1]: 1. The alignment is a power of two. 2. The size is non-zero. 3. When you round up the size to the next multiple of the alignment, then it must not overflow the signed type isize / ssize_t. In order to map this to kmalloc()'s guarantees, some requested allocation sizes have to be padded to the next power-of-two size [2]. For example, an allocation of size 96 and alignment of 32 will be padded to an allocation of size 128, because the existing kmalloc-96 bucket doesn't guarantee alignent above ARCH_KMALLOC_MINALIGN. Without slab debugging active, the layout of the kmalloc-96 slabs however naturally align the objects to 32 bytes, so extending the size to 128 bytes is wasteful. To improve the situation we can extend the kmalloc() alignment guarantees in a way that 1) doesn't change the current slab layout (and thus does not increase internal fragmentation) when slab debugging is not active 2) reduces waste in the Rust allocator use case 3) is a superset of the current guarantee for power-of-two sizes. The extended guarantee is that alignment is at least the largest power-of-two divisor of the requested size. For power-of-two sizes the largest divisor is the size itself, but let's keep this case documented separately for clarity. For current kmalloc size buckets, it means kmalloc-96 will guarantee alignment of 32 bytes and kmalloc-196 will guarantee 64 bytes. This covers the rules 1 and 2 above of Rust's API as long as the size is a multiple of the alignment. The Rust layer should now only need to round up the size to the next multiple if it isn't, while enforcing the rule 3. Implementation-wise, this changes the alignment calculation in create_boot_cache(). While at it also do the calulation only for caches with the SLAB_KMALLOC flag, because the function is also used to create the initial kmem_cache and kmem_cache_node caches, where no alignment guarantee is necessary. In the Rust allocator's krealloc_aligned(), remove the code that padded sizes to the next power of two (suggested by Alice Ryhl) as it's no longer necessary with the new guarantees.

2024-05-19arch: add ARCH_HAS_KERNEL_FPU_SUPPORTSamuel Holland2-0/+79
Several architectures provide an API to enable the FPU and run floating-point SIMD code in kernel space. However, the function names, header locations, and semantics are inconsistent across architectures, and FPU support may be gated behind other Kconfig options. provide a standard way for architectures to declare that kernel space FPU support is available. Architectures selecting this option must implement what is currently the most common API (kernel_fpu_begin() and kernel_fpu_end(), plus a new function kernel_fpu_available()) and provide the appropriate CFLAGS for compiling floating-point C code.

2024-04-02docs: dma: correct dma_set_mask() sample codeFrank Li1-2/+22
There are bunch of codes in driver like if (dma_set_mask_and_coherent(dev, DMA_BIT_MASK(64))) dma_set_mask_and_coherent(dev, DMA_BIT_MASK(32)) Actually it is wrong because if dma_set_mask_and_coherent(64) fails, dma_set_mask_and_coherent(32) will fail for the same reason. And dma_set_mask_and_coherent(64) never returns failure. According to the definition of dma_set_mask(), it indicates the width of address that device DMA can access. If it can access 64-bit address, it must access 32-bit address inherently. So only need set biggest address width. See below code fragment: dma_set_mask(mask) { mask = (dma_addr_t)mask; if (!dev->dma_mask || !dma_supported(dev, mask)) return -EIO; arch_dma_set_mask(dev, mask); *dev->dma_mask = mask; return 0; } dma_supported() will call dma_direct_supported or iommux's dma_supported call back function. int dma_direct_supported(struct device *dev, u64 mask) { u64 min_mask = (max_pfn - 1) << PAGE_SHIFT; /* * Because 32-bit DMA masks are so common we expect every architecture * to be able to satisfy them - either by not supporting more physical * memory, or by providing a ZONE_DMA32. If neither is the case, the * architecture needs to use an IOMMU instead of the direct mapping. */ if (mask >= DMA_BIT_MASK(32)) return 1; ... } The iommux's dma_supported() actually means iommu requires devices's minimized dma capability. An example: static int sba_dma_supported( struct device *dev, u64 mask)() { ... * check if mask is >= than the current max IO Virt Address * The max IO Virt address will *always* < 30 bits. */ return((int)(mask >= (ioc->ibase - 1 + (ioc->pdir_size
