      mremap should return -ENOMEM when __vm_enough_memory fail · 12215182
      Derek authored
      Recently I straced bash behavior in this dd zero pipe to read test, in
      part of testing under vm.overcommit_memory=2 (OVERCOMMIT_NEVER mode):
      
          # dd if=/dev/zero | read x
      
      The bash sub shell is calling mremap to reallocate more and more memory
      untill it finally failed -ENOMEM (I expect), or to be killed by system OOM
      killer (which should not happen under OVERCOMMIT_NEVER mode); But the
      mremap system call actually failed of -EFAULT, which is a surprise to me,
      I think it's supposed to be -ENOMEM?  then I wrote this piece of C code
      testing confirmed it: https://gist.github.com/crquan/326bde37e1ddda8effe5
      
          $ ./remap
          allocated one page @0x7f686bf71000, (PAGE_SIZE: 4096)
          grabbed 7680512000 bytes of memory (1875125 pages) @ 00007f6690993000.
          mremap failed Bad address (14).
      
      The -EFAULT comes from the branch of security_vm_enough_memory_mm failure,
      underlyingly it calls __vm_enough_memory which returns only 0 for success
      or -ENOMEM; So why vma_to_resize needs to return -EFAULT in this case?
      this sounds like a mistake to me.
      
      Some more digging into git history:
      
      1) Before commit 119f657c ("RLIMIT_AS checking fix") in May 1 2005
         (pre 2.6.12 days) it was returning -ENOMEM for this failure;
      
      2) but commit 119f657c ("untangling do_mremap(), part 1") changed it
         accidentally, to what ever is preserved in local ret, which happened to
         be -EFAULT, in a previous assignment;
      
      3) then in commit 54f5de70 code refactoring, it's explicitly returning
         -EFAULT, should be wrong.

      mm/vmalloc: get rid of dirty bitmap inside vmap_block structure · 7d61bfe8
      Roman Pen authored
      In original implementation of vm_map_ram made by Nick Piggin there were
      two bitmaps: alloc_map and dirty_map.  None of them were used as supposed
      to be: finding a suitable free hole for next allocation in block.
      vm_map_ram allocates space sequentially in block and on free call marks
      pages as dirty, so freed space can't be reused anymore.
      
      Actually it would be very interesting to know the real meaning of those
      bitmaps, maybe implementation was incomplete, etc.
      
      But long time ago Zhang Yanfei removed alloc_map by these two commits:
      
        mm/vmalloc.c: remove dead code in vb_alloc
           3fcd76e8
        mm/vmalloc.c: remove alloc_map from vmap_block
           b8e748b6
      
      In this patch I replaced dirty_map with two range variables: dirty min and
      max.  These variables store minimum and maximum position of dirty space in
      a block, since we need only to know the dirty range, not exact position of
      dirty pages.
      
      Why it was made?  Several reasons: at first glance it seems that
      vm_map_ram allocator concerns about fragmentation thus it uses bitmaps for
      finding free hole, but it is not true.  To avoid complexity seems it is
      better to use something simple, like min or max range values.  Secondly,
      code also becomes simpler, without iteration over bitmap, just comparing
      values in min and max macros.  Thirdly, bitmap occupies up to 1024 bits
      (4MB is a max size of a block).  Here I replaced the whole bitmap with two
      longs.
      
      Finally vm_unmap_aliases should be slightly faster and the whole
      vmap_block structure occupies less memory.

      mm/vmalloc: occupy newly allocated vmap block just after allocation · cf725ce2
      Roman Pen authored
      Previous implementation allocates new vmap block and repeats search of a
      free block from the very beginning, iterating over the CPU free list.
      
      Why it can be better??
      
      1. Allocation can happen on one CPU, but search can be done on another CPU.
         In worst case we preallocate amount of vmap blocks which is equal to
         CPU number on the system.
      
      2. In previous patch I added newly allocated block to the tail of free list
         to avoid soon exhaustion of virtual space and give a chance to occupy
         blocks which were allocated long time ago.  Thus to find newly allocated
         block all the search sequence should be repeated, seems it is not efficient.
      
      In this patch newly allocated block is occupied right away, address of
      virtual space is returned to the caller, so there is no any need to repeat
      the search sequence, allocation job is done.

      mm/vmalloc: fix possible exhaustion of vmalloc space caused by vm_map_ram allocator · 68ac546f
      Roman Pen authored
      Recently I came across high fragmentation of vm_map_ram allocator:
      vmap_block has free space, but still new blocks continue to appear.
      Further investigation showed that certain mapping/unmapping sequences
      can exhaust vmalloc space.  On small 32bit systems that's not a big
      problem, cause purging will be called soon on a first allocation failure
      (alloc_vmap_area), but on 64bit machines, e.g.  x86_64 has 45 bits of
      vmalloc space, that can be a disaster.
      
      1) I came up with a simple allocation sequence, which exhausts virtual
         space very quickly:
      
        while (iters) {
      
                      /* Map/unmap big chunk */
                      vaddr = vm_map_ram(pages, 16, -1, PAGE_KERNEL);
                      vm_unmap_ram(vaddr, 16);
      
                      /* Map/unmap small chunks.
                       *
                       * -1 for hole, which should be left at the end of each block
                       * to keep it partially used, with some free space available */
                      for (i = 0; i < (VMAP_BBMAP_BITS - 16) / 8 - 1; i++) {
                              vaddr = vm_map_ram(pages, 8, -1, PAGE_KERNEL);
                              vm_unmap_ram(vaddr, 8);
                      }
        }
      
      The idea behind is simple:
      
       1. We have to map a big chunk, e.g. 16 pages.
      
       2. Then we have to occupy the remaining space with smaller chunks, i.e.
          8 pages. At the end small hole should remain to keep block in free list,
          but do not let big chunk to occupy remaining space.
      
       3. Goto 1 - allocation request of 16 pages can't be completed (only 8 slots
          are left free in the block in the #2 step), new block will be allocated,
          all further requests will lay into newly allocated block.
      
      To have some measurement numbers for all further tests I setup ftrace and
      enabled 4 basic calls in a function profile:
      
              echo vm_map_ram              > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/set_ftrace_filter;
              echo alloc_vmap_area        >> /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/set_ftrace_filter;
              echo vm_unmap_ram           >> /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/set_ftrace_filter;
              echo free_vmap_block        >> /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/set_ftrace_filter;
      
      So for this scenario I got these results:
      
      BEFORE (all new blocks are put to the head of a free list)

      SUMMARY:
      
      The most interesting numbers in those tables are numbers of block
      allocations and deallocations: alloc_vmap_area and free_vmap_block
      calls, which show that before the change blocks were not freed, and
      virtual space and physical memory (vmap_block structure allocations,
      etc) were consumed.
      
      Average time which were spent in vm_map_ram/vm_unmap_ram became slightly
      better.  That can be explained with a reasonable amount of blocks in a
      free list, which we need to iterate to find a suitable free block.
      
      2) Another scenario is a random allocation:
      
        while (iters) {
      
                      /* Randomly take number from a range [1..32/64] */
                      nr = rand(1, VMAP_MAX_ALLOC);
                      vaddr = vm_map_ram(pages, nr, -1, PAGE_KERNEL);
                      vm_unmap_ram(vaddr, nr);
        }
      
      I chose mersenne twister PRNG to generate persistent random state to
      guarantee that both runs have the same random sequence.  For each
      vm_map_ram call random number from [1..32/64] was taken to represent
      amount of pages which I do map.
      
      I did 10'000 vm_map_ram calls and got these two tables:
      
      BEFORE (all new blocks are put to the head of a free list)
      
      # cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/trace_stat/function0
        Function                               Hit    Time            Avg             s^2

      # cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/trace_stat/function0
        Function                               Hit    Time            Avg             s^2

        vm_unmap_ram                         10000    5460.573 us     0.546 us        67.187 us

        free_vmap_block                        412    574.421 us      1.394 us        15.138 us
      
      SUMMARY:
      
      'BEFORE' table shows, that 420 blocks were allocated and only 37 were
      freed.  Remained 383 blocks are still in a free list, consuming virtual
      space and physical memory.
      
      'AFTER' table shows, that 414 blocks were allocated and 412 were really
      freed.  2 blocks remained in a free list.
      
      So fragmentation was dramatically reduced.  Why? Because when we put
      newly allocated block to the head, all further requests will occupy new
      block, regardless remained space in other blocks.  In this scenario all
      requests come randomly.  Eventually remained free space will be less
      than requested size, free list will be iterated and it is possible that
      nothing will be found there - finally new block will be created.  So
      exhaustion in random scenario happens for the maximum possible
      allocation size: 32 pages for 32-bit system and 64 pages for 64-bit
      system.
      
      Also average cost of vm_map_ram was reduced from 1.017 us to 0.774 us.
      Again this can be explained by iteration through smaller list of free
      blocks.
      
      3) Next simple scenario is a sequential allocation, when the allocation
         order is increased for each block.  This scenario forces allocator to
         reach maximum amount of partially free blocks in a free list:
      
        while (iters) {
      
                      /* Populate free list with blocks with remaining space */
                      for (order = 0; order <= ilog2(VMAP_MAX_ALLOC); order++) {
                              nr = VMAP_BBMAP_BITS / (1 << order);
      
                              /* Leave a hole */
                              nr -= 1;
      
                              for (i = 0; i < nr; i++) {
                                      vaddr = vm_map_ram(pages, (1 << order), -1, PAGE_KERNEL);
                                      vm_unmap_ram(vaddr, (1 << order));
                      }
      
                      /* Completely occupy blocks from a free list */
                      for (order = 0; order <= ilog2(VMAP_MAX_ALLOC); order++) {
                              vaddr = vm_map_ram(pages, (1 << order), -1, PAGE_KERNEL);
                              vm_unmap_ram(vaddr, (1 << order));
                      }
        }

      SUMMARY:
      
      No surprises here, almost all numbers are the same.
      
      Fixing this fragmentation problem I also did some improvements in a
      allocation logic of a new vmap block: occupy block immediately and get
      rid of extra search in a free list.
      
      Also I replaced dirty bitmap with min/max dirty range values to make the
      logic simpler and slightly faster, since two longs comparison costs
      less, than loop thru bitmap.
      
      This patchset raises several questions:
      
       Q: Think the problem you comments is already known so that I wrote comments
          about it as "it could consume lots of address space through fragmentation".
          Could you tell me about your situation and reason why it should be avoided?
                                                                           Gioh Kim
      
       A: Indeed, there was a commit 36437638 which adds explicit comment about
          fragmentation.  But fragmentation which is described in this comment caused
          by mixing of long-lived and short-lived objects, when a whole block is pinned
          in memory because some page slots are still in use.  But here I am talking
          about blocks which are free, nobody uses them, and allocator keeps them alive
          forever, continuously allocating new blocks.
      
       Q: I think that if you put newly allocated block to the tail of a free
          list, below example would results in enormous performance degradation.
      
          new block: 1MB (256 pages)
      
          while (iters--) {
            vm_map_ram(3 or something else not dividable for 256) * 85
            vm_unmap_ram(3) * 85
          }
      
          On every iteration, it needs newly allocated block and it is put to the
          tail of a free list so finding it consumes large amount of time.
                                                                          Joonsoo Kim
      
       A: Second patch in current patchset gets rid of extra search in a free list,
          so new block will be immediately occupied..
      
          Also, the scenario above is impossible, cause vm_map_ram allocates virtual
          range in orders, i.e. 2^n.  I.e. passing 3 to vm_map_ram you will allocate
          4 slots in a block and 256 slots (capacity of a block) of course dividable
          on 4, so block will be completely occupied.
      
          But there is a worst case which we can achieve: each free block has a hole
          equal to order size.
      
          The maximum size of allocation is 64 pages for 64-bit system
          (if you try to map more, original alloc_vmap_area will be called).
      
          So the maximum order is 6.  That means that worst case, before allocator
          makes a decision to allocate a new block, is to iterate 7 blocks:
      
          HEAD
          1st block - has 1  page slot  free (order 0)
          2nd block - has 2  page slots free (order 1)
          3rd block - has 4  page slots free (order 2)
          4th block - has 8  page slots free (order 3)
          5th block - has 16 page slots free (order 4)
          6th block - has 32 page slots free (order 5)
          7th block - has 64 page slots free (order 6)
          TAIL
      
          So the worst scenario on 64-bit system is that each CPU queue can have 7
          blocks in a free list.
      
          This can happen only and only if you allocate blocks increasing the order.
          (as I did in the function written in the comment of the first patch)
          This is weird and rare case, but still it is possible.  Afterwards you will
          get 7 blocks in a list.
      
          All further requests should be placed in a newly allocated block or some
          free slots should be found in a free list.
          Seems it does not look dramatically awful.
      
      This patch (of 3):
      
      If suitable block can't be found, new block is allocated and put into a
      head of a free list, so on next iteration this new block will be found
      first.
      
      That's bad, because old blocks in a free list will not get a chance to be
      fully used, thus fragmentation will grow.
      
      Let's consider this simple example:
      
       #1 We have one block in a free list which is partially used, and where only
          one page is free:
      
          HEAD |xxxxxxxxx-| TAIL
                         ^
                         free space for 1 page, order 0
      
       #2 New allocation request of order 1 (2 pages) comes, new block is allocated
          since we do not have free space to complete this request. New block is put
          into a head of a free list:
      
          HEAD |----------|xxxxxxxxx-| TAIL
      
       #3 Two pages were occupied in a new found block:
      
          HEAD |xx--------|xxxxxxxxx-| TAIL
                ^
                two pages mapped here
      
       #4 New allocation request of order 0 (1 page) comes.  Block, which was created
          on #2 step, is located at the beginning of a free list, so it will be found
          first:
      
        HEAD |xxX-------|xxxxxxxxx-| TAIL
                ^                 ^
                page mapped here, but better to use this hole
      
      It is obvious, that it is better to complete request of #4 step using the
      old block, where free space is left, because in other case fragmentation
      will be highly increased.
      
      But fragmentation is not only the case.  The worst thing is that I can
      easily create scenario, when the whole vmalloc space is exhausted by
      blocks, which are not used, but already dirty and have several free pages.
      
      Let's consider this function which execution should be pinned to one CPU:
      
      static void exhaust_virtual_space(struct page *pages[16], int iters)
      {
              /* Firstly we have to map a big chunk, e.g. 16 pages.
               * Then we have to occupy the remaining space with smaller
               * chunks, i.e. 8 pages. At the end small hole should remain.
               * So at the end of our allocation sequence block looks like
               * this:
               *                XX  big chunk
               * |XXxxxxxxx-|    x  small chunk
               *                 -  hole, which is enough for a small chunk,
               *                    but is not enough for a big chunk
               */
              while (iters--) {
                      int i;
                      void *vaddr;
      
                      /* Map/unmap big chunk */
                      vaddr = vm_map_ram(pages, 16, -1, PAGE_KERNEL);
                      vm_unmap_ram(vaddr, 16);
      
                      /* Map/unmap small chunks.
                       *
                       * -1 for hole, which should be left at the end of each block
                       * to keep it partially used, with some free space available */
                      for (i = 0; i < (VMAP_BBMAP_BITS - 16) / 8 - 1; i++) {
                              vaddr = vm_map_ram(pages, 8, -1, PAGE_KERNEL);
                              vm_unmap_ram(vaddr, 8);
                      }
              }
      }
      
      On every iteration new block (1MB of vm area in my case) will be
      allocated and then will be occupied, without attempt to resolve small
      allocation request using previously allocated blocks in a free list.
      
      In case of random allocation (size should be randomly taken from the
      range [1..64] in 64-bit case or [1..32] in 32-bit case) situation is the
      same: new blocks continue to appear if maximum possible allocation size
      (32 or 64) passed to the allocator, because all remaining blocks in a
      free list do not have enough free space to complete this allocation
      request.
      
      In summary if new blocks are put into the head of a free list eventually
      virtual space will be exhausted.
      
      In current patch I simply put newly allocated block to the tail of a
      free list, thus reduce fragmentation, giving a chance to resolve
      allocation request using older blocks with possible holes left.

      hugetlbfs: add minimum size tracking fields to subpool structure · c6a91820
      Mike Kravetz authored
      hugetlbfs allocates huge pages from the global pool as needed.  Even if
      the global pool contains a sufficient number pages for the filesystem size
      at mount time, those global pages could be grabbed for some other use.  As
      a result, filesystem huge page allocations may fail due to lack of pages.
      
      Applications such as a database want to use huge pages for performance
      reasons.  hugetlbfs filesystem semantics with ownership and modes work
      well to manage access to a pool of huge pages.  However, the application
      would like some reasonable assurance that allocations will not fail due to
      a lack of huge pages.  At application startup time, the application would
      like to configure itself to use a specific number of huge pages.  Before
      starting, the application can check to make sure that enough huge pages
      exist in the system global pools.  However, there are no guarantees that
      those pages will be available when needed by the application.  What the
      application wants is exclusive use of a subset of huge pages.
      
      Add a new hugetlbfs mount option 'min_size=<value>' to indicate that the
      specified number of pages will be available for use by the filesystem.  At
      mount time, this number of huge pages will be reserved for exclusive use
      of the filesystem.  If there is not a sufficient number of free pages, the
      mount will fail.  As pages are allocated to and freeed from the
      filesystem, the number of reserved pages is adjusted so that the specified
      minimum is maintained.
      
      This patch (of 4):
      
      Add a field to the subpool structure to indicate the minimimum number of
      huge pages to always be used by this subpool.  This minimum count includes
      allocated pages as well as reserved pages.  If the minimum number of pages
      for the subpool have not been allocated, pages are reserved up to this
      minimum.  An additional field (rsv_hpages) is used to track the number of
      pages reserved to meet this minimum size.  The hstate pointer in the
      subpool is convenient to have when reserving and unreserving the pages.

      When the compaction is activated via /proc/sys/vm/compact_memory it would
      better scan the whole zone.  And some platforms, for instance ARM, have

      mm, memcg: sync allocation and memcg charge gfp flags for THP · 3b363692
      Michal Hocko authored
      memcg currently uses hardcoded GFP_TRANSHUGE gfp flags for all THP
      charges.  THP allocations, however, might be using different flags
      depending on /sys/kernel/mm/transparent_hugepage/{,khugepaged/}defrag and
      the current allocation context.
      
      The primary difference is that defrag configured to "madvise" value will
      clear __GFP_WAIT flag from the core gfp mask to make the allocation
      lighter for all mappings which are not backed by VM_HUGEPAGE vmas.  If
      memcg charge path ignores this fact we will get light allocation but the a
      potential memcg reclaim would kill the whole point of the configuration.
      
      Fix the mismatch by providing the same gfp mask used for the allocation to
      the charge functions.  This is quite easy for all paths except for
      hugepaged kernel thread with !CONFIG_NUMA which is doing a pre-allocation
      long before the allocated page is used in collapse_huge_page via
      khugepaged_alloc_page.  To prevent from cluttering the whole code path
      from khugepaged_do_scan we simply return the current flags as per
      khugepaged_defrag() value which might have changed since the
      preallocation.  If somebody changed the value of the knob we would charge
      differently but this shouldn't happen often and it is definitely not
      critical because it would only lead to a reduced success rate of one-off
      THP promotion.

      The memory compaction code uses the migration code to do most of the

      unevictable LRU differently than migration code and this difference
      should be noted in the documentation.

      mm: allow compaction of unevictable pages · 5bbe3547
      Eric B Munson authored
      Currently, pages which are marked as unevictable are protected from
      compaction, but not from other types of migration.  The POSIX real time
      extension explicitly states that mlock() will prevent a major page
      fault, but the spirit of this is that mlock() should give a process the
      ability to control sources of latency, including minor page faults.
      However, the mlock manpage only explicitly says that a locked page will
      not be written to swap and this can cause some confusion.  The
      compaction code today does not give a developer who wants to avoid swap
      but wants to have large contiguous areas available any method to achieve
      this state.  This patch introduces a sysctl for controlling compaction
      behavior with respect to the unevictable lru.  Users who demand no page
      faults after a page is present can set compact_unevictable_allowed to 0
      and users who need the large contiguous areas can enable compaction on
      locked memory by leaving the default value of 1.
      
      To illustrate this problem I wrote a quick test program that mmaps a
      large number of 1MB files filled with random data.  These maps are
      created locked and read only.  Then every other mmap is unmapped and I
      attempt to allocate huge pages to the static huge page pool.  When the
      compact_unevictable_allowed sysctl is 0, I cannot allocate hugepages
      after fragmenting memory.  When the value is set to 1, allocations
      succeed.

      mm: avoid tail page refcounting on non-THP compound pages · 8d63d99a
      Kirill A. Shutemov authored
      THP uses tail page refcounting to be able to split huge pages at any time.
       Tail page refcounting is not needed for other users of compound pages and
      it's harmful because of overhead.
      
      We try to exclude non-THP pages from tail page refcounting using
      __compound_tail_refcounted() check.  It excludes most common non-THP
      compound pages: SL*B and hugetlb, but it doesn't catch rest of __GFP_COMP
      users -- drivers.
      
      And it's not only about overhead.
      
      Drivers might want to use compound pages to get refcounting semantics
      suitable for mapping high-order pages to userspace.  But tail page
      refcounting breaks it.
      
      Tail page refcounting uses ->_mapcount in tail pages to store GUP pins on
      them.  It means GUP pins would affect page_mapcount() for tail pages.
      It's not a problem for THP, because it never maps tail pages.  But unlike
      THP, drivers map parts of compound pages with PTEs and it makes
      page_mapcount() be called for tail pages.
      
      In particular, GUP pins would shift PSS up and affect /proc/kpagecount for
      such pages.  But, I'm not aware about anything which can lead to crash or
      other serious misbehaviour.
      
      Since currently all THP pages are anonymous and all drivers pages are not,
      we can fix the __compound_tail_refcounted() check by requiring PageAnon()
      to enable tail page refcounting.

      mm: consolidate all page-flags helpers in <linux/page-flags.h> · e8c6158f
      Kirill A. Shutemov authored
      Currently we take a naive approach to page flags on compound pages - we
      set the flag on the page without consideration if the flag makes sense
      for tail page or for compound page in general.  This patchset try to
      sort this out by defining per-flag policy on what need to be done if
      page-flag helper operate on compound page.
      
      The last patch in the patchset also sanitizes usege of page->mapping for
      tail pages.  We don't define the meaning of page->mapping for tail
      pages.  Currently it's always NULL, which can be inconsistent with head
      page and potentially lead to problems.
      
      For now I caught one case of illegal usage of page flags or ->mapping:
      sound subsystem allocates pages with __GFP_COMP and maps them with PTEs.
      It leads to setting dirty bit on tail pages and access to tail_page's
      ->mapping.  I don't see any bad behaviour caused by this, but worth
      fixing anyway.
      
      This patchset makes more sense if you take my THP refcounting into
      account: we will see more compound pages mapped with PTEs and we need to
      define behaviour of flags on compound pages to avoid bugs.
      
      This patch (of 16):
      
      We have page-flags helper function declarations/definitions spread over
      several header files.  Let's consolidate them in <linux/page-flags.h>.

      memcg: zap mem_cgroup_lookup() · adbe427b
      Vladimir Davydov authored
      mem_cgroup_lookup() is a wrapper around mem_cgroup_from_id(), which
      checks that id != 0 before issuing the function call.  Today, there is
      no point in this additional check apart from optimization, because there
      is no css with id <= 0, so that css_from_id, called by
      mem_cgroup_from_id, will return NULL for any id <= 0.
      
      Since mem_cgroup_from_id is only called from mem_cgroup_lookup, let us
      zap mem_cgroup_lookup, substituting calls to it with mem_cgroup_from_id
      and moving the check if id > 0 to css_from_id.

       "Included in this update are both some long term fixes and some new
        features.
      
        Fixes:
      
         - An integer overflow in the calculation of ELF_ET_DYN_BASE.
      
         - Avoiding OOMs for high-order IOMMU allocations
      
         - SMP requires the data cache to be enabled for synchronisation
           primitives to work, so prevent the CPU_DCACHE_DISABLE option being
           visible on SMP builds.
      
         - A bug going back 10+ years in the noMMU ARM94* CPU support code,
           where it corrupts registers.  Found by folk getting Linux running
           on their cameras.
      
         - Versatile Express needs an errata workaround enabled for CPU
           hot-unplug to work.
      
        Features:
      
         - Clean up module linker by handling out of range relocations
           separately from relocation cases we don't handle.
      
         - Fix a long term bug in the pci_mmap_page_range() code, which we
           hope won't impact userspace (we hope there's no users of the
           existing broken interface.)
      
         - Don't map DMA coherent allocations when we don't have a MMU.
      
         - Drop experimental status for SMP_ON_UP.
      
         - Warn when DT doesn't specify ePAPR mandatory cache properties.
      
         - Add documentation concerning how we find the start of physical
           memory for AUTO_ZRELADDR kernels, detailing why we have chosen the
           mask and the implications of changing it.
      
         - Updates from Ard Biesheuvel to address some issues with large
           kernels (such as allyesconfig) failing to link.
      
         - Allow hibernation to work on modern (ARMv7) CPUs - this appears to
           have never worked in the past on these CPUs.
      
         - Enable IRQ_SHOW_LEVEL, which changes the /proc/interrupts output
           format (hopefully without userspace breaking...  let's hope that if
           it causes someone a problem, they tell us.)
      
         - Fix tegra-ahb DT offsets.
      
         - Rework ARM errata 643719 code (and ARMv7 flush_cache_louis()/
           flush_dcache_all()) code to be more efficient, and enable this
           errata workaround by default for ARMv7+SMP CPUs.  This complements
           the Versatile Express fix above.
      
         - Rework ARMv7 context code for errata 430973, so that only Cortex A8
           CPUs are impacted by the branch target buffer flush when this
           errata is enabled.  Also update the help text to indicate that all
           r1p* A8 CPUs are impacted.
      
         - Switch ARM to the generic show_mem() implementation, it conveys all
           the information which we were already reporting.
      
         - Prevent slow timer sources being used for udelay() - timers running
           at less than 1MHz are not useful for this, and can cause udelay()
           to return immediately, without any wait.  Using such a slow timer
           is silly.
      
         - VDSO support for 32-bit ARM, mainly for gettimeofday() using the

      Pull power management and ACPI updates from Rafael Wysocki:
       "These are mostly fixes and cleanups all over, although there are a few
        items that sort of fall into the new feature category.
      
        First off, we have new callbacks for PM domains that should help us to
        handle some issues related to device initialization in a better way.
      
        There also is some consolidation in the unified device properties API
        area allowing us to use that inferface for accessing data coming from
        platform initialization code in addition to firmware-provided data.
      
        We have some new device/CPU IDs in a few drivers, support for new
        chips and a new cpufreq driver too.
      
        Specifics:
      
         - Generic PM domains support update including new PM domain callbacks
           to handle device initialization better (Russell King, Rafael J
           Wysocki, Kevin Hilman)

         - devfreq update including Tegra support changes (Tomeu Vizoso,
           MyungJoo Ham, Chanwoo Choi)
      
         - powercap RAPL (Running-Average Power Limit) driver update including
           support for Intel Broadwell server chips (Jacob Pan, Mathias Krause)
      
         - ACPI device enumeration update related to the handling of the
           special PRP0001 device ID allowing DT-style 'compatible' property
           to be used for ACPI device identification (Rafael J Wysocki)
      
         - ACPI EC driver update including limited _DEP support (Lan Tianyu,
           Lv Zheng)
      
         - ACPI backlight driver update including a new mechanism to allow
           native backlight handling to be forced on non-Windows 8 systems and
           a new quirk for Lenovo Ideapad Z570 (Aaron Lu, Hans de Goede)
      
         - New Windows Vista compatibility quirk for Sony VGN-SR19XN (Chen Yu)
      
         - Assorted ACPI fixes and cleanups (Aaron Lu, Martin Kepplinger,
           Masanari Iida, Mika Westerberg, Nan Li, Rafael J Wysocki)

      ====================
      Intel Wired LAN Driver Updates 2015-04-14
      
      This series contains updates to fm10k only.
      
      Fixed transmit statistics which was actually using values from the
      receive ring, instead of the transmit ring.  Fixed up spelling mistakes
      in code comments and resolved unused argument warnings.  Added support
      for netconsole.  Fixed up statistic reporting so that we are only
      reporting from actual queues as well as display PF only stats for
      just the PF and not the VF.  Also fixed an issue that when returning
      virtualization queues from the VF back to the PF, we were retaining
      the VF rate limiter.
      
      Fixed up the driver to use a separate workqueue, which helps reduce
      and stabilize latency between scheduling the work in our interrupt and
      actually performing the work.
      
      Fixed a bug where the VF tried to set a multicast address before
      requesting the required xcast mode.
      
      Fix VF multicast update since VFs were being improperly added to the
      switch's mutlicast group.  The error stems from the fact that incorrect
      arguments were passed to the update_mc_addr().
      
      Thanks to Alex Duyck for the extensive review.
