      x86/boot: Double BOOT_HEAP_SIZE to 64KB · 8c31902c
      H.J. Lu authored
      When decompressing kernel image during x86 bootup, malloc memory
      for ELF program headers may run out of heap space, which leads
      to system halt.  This patch doubles BOOT_HEAP_SIZE to 64KB.
      
      Tested with 32-bit kernel which failed to boot without this patch.

      x86/mm: Add barriers and document switch_mm()-vs-flush synchronization · 71b3c126
      Andy Lutomirski authored
      When switch_mm() activates a new PGD, it also sets a bit that
      tells other CPUs that the PGD is in use so that TLB flush IPIs
      will be sent.  In order for that to work correctly, the bit
      needs to be visible prior to loading the PGD and therefore
      starting to fill the local TLB.
      
      Document all the barriers that make this work correctly and add
      a couple that were missing.

      vmstat: allocate vmstat_wq before it is used · 751e5f5c

      The reason is that start_shepherd_timer schedules the shepherd work item
      which uses vmstat_wq (vmstat_shepherd) before setup_vmstat allocates
      that workqueue so if the further initialization takes more than HZ we
      might end up scheduling on a NULL vmstat_wq.  This is really unlikely
      but not impossible.
      
      Fixes: 373ccbe5 ("mm, vmstat: allow WQ concurrency to discover memory reclaim doesn't make any progress")
