The generic memcpy routine provided in kernel does only byte copies. Using word copies we can lower boot time and cycles spend in memcpy quite significantly. Booting on my de0 nano I see boot times go from 7.2 to 5.6 seconds. The avg cycles in memcpy during boot go from 6467 to 1887. I tested several algorithms (see code in previous patch mails) The implementations I tested and avg cycles: - Word Copies + Loop Unrolls + Non Aligned 1882 - Word Copies + Loop Unrolls 1887 - Word Copies 2441 - Byte Copies + Loop Unrolls 6467 - Byte Copies 7600 In the end I ended up going with Word Copies + Loop Unrolls as it provides best tradeoff between simplicity and boot speedups.

This patch adds basic support for the idle state of the cpu. The patch overrides the regular idle function, enables the interupts, checks for the power management unit and enables the cpu doze mode if available.

do_generic_file_read() can be told to perform a large request from userspace. If the system is under OOM and the reading task is the OOM victim then it has an access to memory reserves and finishing the full request can lead to the full memory depletion which is dangerous. Make sure we rather go with a short read and allow the killed task to terminate.

But iomap_file_buffered_write and other callers of iomap_apply loop to complete the full request. We need to check for fatal signals and back off with a short write instead. As the iomap_apply delegates all the work down to the actor we have to hook into those. All callers that work with the page cache are calling iomap_write_begin so we will check for signals there. dax_iomap_actor has to handle the situation explicitly because it copies data to the userspace directly. Other callers like iomap_page_mkwrite work on a single page or iomap_fiemap_actor do not allocate memory based on the given len.

Reading a sysfs "memoryN/valid_zones" file leads to the following oops when the first page of a range is not backed by struct page. show_valid_zones() assumes that 'start_pfn' is always valid for page_zone(). BUG: unable to handle kernel paging request at ffffea017a000000 IP: show_valid_zones+0x6f/0x160 This issue may happen on x86-64 systems with 64GiB or more memory since their memory block size is bumped up to 2GiB. [1] An example of such systems is desribed below. 0x3240000000 is only aligned by 1GiB and this memory block starts from 0x3200000000, which is not backed by struct page. BIOS-e820: [mem 0x0000003240000000-0x000000603fffffff] usable Since test_pages_in_a_zone() already checks holes, fix this issue by extending this function to return 'valid_start' and 'valid_end' for a given range. show_valid_zones() then proceeds with the valid range.

Patch series "fix a kernel oops when reading sysfs valid_zones", v2. A sysfs memory file is created for each 2GiB memory block on x86-64 when the system has 64GiB or more memory. [1] When the start address of a memory block is not backed by struct page, i.e. a memory range is not aligned by 2GiB, reading its 'valid_zones' attribute file leads to a kernel oops. This issue was observed on multiple x86-64 systems with more than 64GiB of memory. This patch-set fixes this issue. Patch 1 first fixes an issue in test_pages_in_a_zone(), which does not test the start section. Patch 2 then fixes the kernel oops by extending test_pages_in_a_zone() to return valid [start, end). Note for stable kernels: The memory block size change was made by commit bdee237c ("x86: mm: Use 2GB memory block size on large-memory x86-64 systems"), which was accepted to 3.9. However, this patch-set depends on (and fixes) the change to test_pages_in_a_zone() made by commit 5f0f2887 ("mm/memory_hotplug.c: check for missing sections in test_pages_in_a_zone()"), which was accepted to 4.4. So, I recommend that we backport it up to 4.4. [1] 'Commit bdee237c ("x86: mm: Use 2GB memory block size on large-memory x86-64 systems")' This patch (of 2): test_pages_in_a_zone() does not check 'start_pfn' when it is aligned by section since 'sec_end_pfn' is set equal to 'pfn'. Since this function is called for testing the range of a sysfs memory file, 'start_pfn' is always aligned by section. Fix it by properly setting 'sec_end_pfn' to the next section pfn. Also make sure that this function returns 1 only when the range belongs to a zone.

Some versions of ARM GCC compiler such as Android toolchain throws in a '-fpic' flag by default. This causes the gcc-goto check script to fail although some config would have '-fno-pic' flag in the KBUILD_CFLAGS. This patch passes the KBUILD_CFLAGS to the check script so that the script does not rely on the default config from different compilers.

Add zswap_init_failed bool that prevents changing any of the module params, if init_zswap() fails, and set zswap_enabled to false. Change 'enabled' param to a callback, and check zswap_init_failed before allowing any change to 'enabled', 'zpool', or 'compressor' params. Any driver that is built-in to the kernel will not be unloaded if its init function returns error, and its module params remain accessible for users to change via sysfs. Since zswap uses param callbacks, which assume that zswap has been initialized, changing the zswap params after a failed initialization will result in WARNING due to the param callbacks expecting a pool to already exist. This prevents that by immediately exiting any of the param callbacks if initialization failed. This was reported here: https://marc.info/?l=linux-mm&m=147004228125528&w=4 And fixes this WARNING: [ 429.723476] WARNING: CPU: 0 PID: 5140 at mm/zswap.c:503 __zswap_pool_current+0x56/0x60 The warning is just noise, and not serious. However, when init fails, zswap frees all its percpu dstmem pages and its kmem cache. The kmem cache might be serious, if kmem_cache_alloc(NULL, gfp) has problems; but the percpu dstmem pages are definitely a problem, as they're used as temporary buffer for compressed pages before copying into place in the zpool. If the user does get zswap enabled after an init failure, then zswap will likely Oops on the first page it tries to compress (or worse, start corrupting memory).

Currently, under certain circumstances vhost_init_is_le does just a part of the initialization job, and depends on vhost_reset_is_le being called too. For this reason vhost_vq_init_access used to call vhost_reset_is_le when vq->private_data is NULL. This is not only counter intuitive, but also real a problem because it breaks vhost_net. The bug was introduced to vhost_net with commit 2751c988 ("vhost: cross-endian support for legacy devices"). The symptom is corruption of the vq's used.idx field (virtio) after VHOST_NET_SET_BACKEND was issued as a part of the vhost shutdown on a vq with pending descriptors. Let us make sure the outcome of vhost_init_is_le never depend on the state it is actually supposed to initialize, and fix virtio_net by removing the reset from vhost_vq_init_access. With the above, there is no reason for vhost_reset_is_le to do just half of the job. Let us make vhost_reset_is_le reinitialize is_le.

This reverts commit c7070619. This has been shown to regress on some ARM systems: by forcing on DMA API usage for ARM systems, we have inadvertently kicked open a hornets' nest in terms of cache-coherency. Namely that unless the virtio device is explicitly described as capable of coherent DMA by firmware, the DMA APIs on ARM and other DT-based platforms will assume it is non-coherent. This turns out to cause a big problem for the likes of QEMU and kvmtool, which generate virtio-mmio devices in their guest DTs but neglect to add the often-overlooked "dma-coherent" property; as a result, we end up with the guest making non-cacheable accesses to the vring, the host doing so cacheably, both talking past each other and things going horribly wrong. We are working on a safer work-around.
