Packing loops tightly (-falign-loops=1) is beneficial to code size: text data bss dec filename 12566391 1617840 1089536 15273767 vmlinux.align.16-byte 12224951 1617840 1089536 14932327 vmlinux.align.1-byte 11976567 1617840 1089536 14683943 vmlinux.align.1-byte.funcs-1-byte 11903735 1617840 1089536 14611111 vmlinux.align.1-byte.funcs-1-byte.loops-1-byte Which reduces the size of the kernel by another 0.6%, so the the total combined size reduction of the alignment-packing patches is ~5.5%. The x86 decoder bandwidth and caching arguments laid out in: be6cb027 ("x86: Align jump targets to 1-byte boundaries") apply to loop alignment as well. Furtermore, modern CPU uarchs have a loop cache/buffer that is a L0 cache before even any uop cache, covering a few dozen most recently executed instructions. This loop cache generally does not have the 16-byte alignment restrictions of the uop cache. Now loop alignment can still be beneficial if: - a loop is cache-hot and its surroundings are not. - if the loop is so cache hot that the instruction flow becomes x86 decoder bandwidth limited But loop alignment is harmful if: - a loop is cache-cold - a loop's surroundings are cache-hot as well - two cache-hot loops are close to each other - if the loop fits into the loop cache - if the code flow is not decoder bandwidth limited and I'd argue that the latter five scenarios are much more common in the kernel, as our hottest loops are typically: - pointer chasing: this should fit into the loop cache in most cases and is typically data cache and address generation limited - generic memory ops (memset, memcpy, etc.): these generally fit into the loop cache as well, and are likewise data cache limited. So this patch packs loop addresses tightly as well.

The following NOP in a hot function caught my attention: > 5a: 66 0f 1f 44 00 00 nopw 0x0(%rax,%rax,1) That's a dead NOP that bloats the function a bit, added for the default 16-byte alignment that GCC applies for jump targets. I realize that x86 CPU manufacturers recommend 16-byte jump target alignments (it's in the Intel optimization manual), to help their relatively narrow decoder prefetch alignment and uop cache constraints, but the cost of that is very significant: text data bss dec filename 12566391 1617840 1089536 15273767 vmlinux.align.16-byte 12224951 1617840 1089536 14932327 vmlinux.align.1-byte By using 1-byte jump target alignment (i.e. no alignment at all) we get an almost 3% reduction in kernel size (!) - and a probably similar reduction in I$ footprint. Now, the usual justification for jump target alignment is the following: - modern decoders tend to have 16-byte (effective) decoder prefetch windows. (AMD documents it higher but measurements suggest the effective prefetch window on curretn uarchs is still around 16 bytes) - on Intel there's also the uop-cache with cachelines that have 16-byte granularity and limited associativity. - older x86 uarchs had a penalty for decoder fetches that crossed 16-byte boundaries. These limits are mostly gone from recent uarchs. So if a forward jump target is aligned to cacheline boundary then prefetches will start from a new prefetch-cacheline and there's higher chance for decoding in fewer steps and packing tightly. But I think that argument is flawed for typical optimized kernel code flows: forward jumps often go to 'cold' (uncommon) pieces of code, and aligning cold code to cache lines does not bring a lot of advantages (they are uncommon), while it causes collateral damage: - their alignment 'spreads out' the cache footprint, it shifts followup hot code further out - plus it slows down even 'cold' code that immediately follows 'hot' code (like in the above case), which could have benefited from the partial cacheline that comes off the end of hot code. But even in the cache-hot case the 16 byte alignment brings disadvantages: - it spreads out the cache footprint, possibly making the code fall out of the L1 I$. - On Intel CPUs, recent microarchitectures have plenty of uop cache (typically doubling every 3 years) - while the size of the L1 cache grows much less aggressively. So workloads are rarely uop cache limited. The only situation where alignment might matter are tight loops that could fit into a single 16 byte chunk - but those are pretty rare in the kernel: if they exist they tend to be pointer chasing or generic memory ops, which both tend to be cache miss (or cache allocation) intensive and are not decoder bandwidth limited. So the balance of arguments strongly favors packing kernel instructions tightly versus maximizing for decoder bandwidth: this patch changes the jump target alignment from 16 bytes to 1 byte (tightly packed, unaligned).

Pull ACPI fixes from Rafael Wysocki: "Two fixes here, one revert of a recent ACPICA commit that broke audio support on one Dell machine and a fix for a long-standing issue that may cause systems to break randomly during boot. Specifics: - The recent ACPICA commit that set the ACPI _REV return value to 2 (which is the value always used by Windows and now mandated by the spec too) in order to prevent the firmware people from using it to play tricks with us caused a serious audio regression to happen on Dell XPS 13 (the AML on that machine uses the _REV return value to decide how to expose audio to the OS and does that to hide the lack of proper support for its I2S audio in Linux), so revert that commit for now and we'll revisit the issue in the next cycle. - Ensure that the ordering of acpi_reserve_resources() with respect to the rest of the ACPI initialization sequence will always be the same, or the IO or memory region occupied by the ACPI fixed registers may be assigned to a PCI host bridge as a result of a race and random breakage ensues going forward" * tag 'pm+acpi-4.1-rc4' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rafael/linux-pm: Revert "ACPICA: Permanently set _REV to the value '2'." ACPI / init: Fix the ordering of acpi_reserve_resources()

NUMA balancing is meant to be disabled by default on UMA machines but the check is using nr_node_ids (highest node) instead of num_online_nodes (online nodes). The consequences are that a UMA machine with a node ID of 1 or higher will enable NUMA balancing. This will incur useless overhead due to minor faults with the impact depending on the workload. These are the impact on the stats when running a kernel build on a single node machine whose node ID happened to be 1: vanilla patched NUMA base PTE updates 5113158 0 NUMA huge PMD updates 643 0 NUMA page range updates 5442374 0 NUMA hint faults 2109622 0 NUMA hint local faults 2109622 0 NUMA hint local percent 100 100 NUMA pages migrated 0 0 Signed-off-by: Mel Gorman <mgorman@suse.de> Reviewed-by: Rik van Riel <riel@redhat.com> Cc: <stable@vger.kernel.org> [3.8+] Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

{u,g}id_valid call {u,g}id_eq, which calls __k{u,g}id_val on both arguments and compares. With !CONFIG_MULTIUSER, __k{u,g}id_val return a constant 0, which makes {u,g}id_valid always return false. Change {u,g}id_valid to compare their argument against -1 instead. That produces identical results in the normal CONFIG_MULTIUSER=y case, but with !CONFIG_MULTIUSER will make {u,g}id_valid constant-fold into "return true;" rather than "return false;". This fixes uses of devpts without CONFIG_MULTIUSER.

root->ino_ida is used for kernfs inode number allocations. Since IDA has a layered structure, different IDs can reside on the same layer, which is currently accounted to some memory cgroup. The problem is that each kmem cache of a memory cgroup has its own directory on sysfs (under /sys/fs/kernel/<cache-name>/cgroup). If the inode number of such a directory or any file in it gets allocated from a layer accounted to the cgroup which the cache is created for, the cgroup will get pinned for good, because one has to free all kmem allocations accounted to a cgroup in order to release it and destroy all its kmem caches. That said we must not account layers of ino_ida to any memory cgroup. Since per net init operations may create new sysfs entries directly (e.g. lo device) or indirectly (nf_conntrack creates a new kmem cache per each namespace, which, in turn, creates new sysfs entries), an easy way to reproduce this issue is by creating network namespace(s) from inside a kmem-active memory cgroup.
