In split page table lock case, we embed spinlock_t into struct page.
For obvious reason, we don't want to increase size of struct page if
spinlock_t is too big, like with DEBUG_SPINLOCK or DEBUG_LOCK_ALLOC or
on -rt kernel. So we disable split page table lock, if spinlock_t is
too big.
This patchset allows to allocate the lock dynamically if spinlock_t is
big. In this page->ptl is used to store pointer to spinlock instead of
spinlock itself. It costs additional cache line for indirect access,
but fix page fault scalability for multi-threaded applications.
LOCK_STAT depends on DEBUG_SPINLOCK, so on current kernel enabling
LOCK_STAT to analyse scalability issues breaks scalability. ;)
The patchset mostly fixes this. Results for ./thp_memscale -c 80 -b 512M
on 4-socket machine:
baseline, no CONFIG_LOCK_STAT: 9.115460703 seconds time elapsed
baseline, CONFIG_LOCK_STAT=y: 53.890567123 seconds time elapsed
patched, no CONFIG_LOCK_STAT: 8.852250368 seconds time elapsed
patched, CONFIG_LOCK_STAT=y: 11.069770759 seconds time elapsed
Patch count is scary, but most of them trivial. Overview:
Patches 1-4 Few bug fixes. No dependencies to other patches.
Probably should applied as soon as possible.
Patch 5 Changes signature of pgtable_page_ctor(). We will use it
for dynamic lock allocation, so it can fail.
Patches 6-8 Add missing constructor/destructor calls on few archs.
It's fixes NR_PAGETABLE accounting and prepare to use
split ptl.
Patches 9-33 Add pgtable_page_ctor() fail handling to all archs.
Patches 34 Finally adds support of dynamically-allocated page->pte.
Also contains documentation for split page table lock.
This patch (of 34):
I've missed that we preallocate few pmds on pgd_alloc() if X86_PAE
enabled. Let's add missed constructor/destructor calls.
I haven't noticed it during testing since prep_new_page() clears
page->mapping and therefore page->ptl. It's effectively equal to
spin_lock_init(&page->ptl).

The basic idea is the same as with PTE level: the lock is embedded into
struct page of table's page.
We can't use mm->pmd_huge_pte to store pgtables for THP, since we don't
take mm->page_table_lock anymore. Let's reuse page->lru of table's page
for that.
pgtable_pmd_page_ctor() returns true, if initialization is successful
and false otherwise. Current implementation never fails, but assumption
that constructor can fail will help to port it to -rt where spinlock_t
is rather huge and cannot be embedded into struct page -- dynamic
allocation is required.

The SIMBA APB Bridges lacks the 'ranges' of-property describing the
PCI I/O and memory areas located beneath the bridge. Faking this
information has been performed by reading range registers in the
APB bridge, and calculating the corresponding areas.
In commit 01f94c4a6c
("Fix sabre pci controllers with new probing scheme.") a bug was
introduced into this calculation, causing the PCI memory areas
to be calculated incorrectly: The shift size was set to be
identical for I/O and MEM ranges, which is incorrect.
This patch set the shift size of the MEM range back to the
value used before 01f94c4a6c.

Commit 2613af0ed1 ("virtio_net: migrate mergeable rx buffers to page
frag allocators") changed the mergeable receive buffer size from PAGE_SIZE
to MTU-size. However, the merge buffer size does not take into account the
size of the virtio-net header. Consequently, packets that are MTU-size
will take two buffers intead of one (to store the virtio-net header),
substantially decreasing the throughput of MTU-size traffic due to TCP
window / SKB truesize effects.
This commit changes the mergeable buffer size to include the virtio-net
header. The buffer size is cacheline-aligned because skb_page_frag_refill
will not automatically align the requested size.
Benchmarks taken from an average of 5 netperf 30-second TCP_STREAM runs
between two QEMU VMs on a single physical machine. Each VM has two VCPUs and
vhost enabled. All VMs and vhost threads run in a single 4 CPU cgroup
cpuset, using cgroups to ensure that other processes in the system will not
be scheduled on the benchmark CPUs. Transmit offloads and mergeable receive
buffers are enabled, but guest_tso4 / guest_csum are explicitly disabled to
force MTU-sized packets on the receiver.

In af3e095a1f, Erik Jacobsen fixed one type of unaligned access
bug for ia64 by converting a 64-bit write to use put_unaligned().
Unfortunately, since gcc will convert a short memset() to a series
of appropriately-aligned stores, the problem is now visible again
on tilegx, where the memset that zeros out proc_event is converted
to three 64-bit stores, causing an unaligned access panic.
A better fix for the original problem is to ensure that proc_event
is aligned to 8 bytes here. We can do that relatively easily by
arranging to start the struct cn_msg aligned to 8 bytes and then
offset by 4 bytes. Doing so means that the immediately following
proc_event structure is then correctly aligned to 8 bytes.
The result is that the memset() stores are now aligned, and as an
added benefit, we can remove the put_unaligned() calls in the code.
