I have not yet seen anyone saying he has a reasonable use case for using BINFMT_FLAT modular on his embedded device. Considering that fs/binfmt_flat.c even lacks a MODULE_LICENSE() I really doubt there is any, and this patch therefore makes BINFMT_FLAT a bool. Signed-off-by:

16 kB is often no longer enough for a normal boot of an UP system. And even less when people e.g. use suspend. 17 seems to be a more reasonable default for current kernels on current hardware (it's just the default, anyone who is memory limited can still lower it). Signed-off-by:

The kernel is sent to tainted within the warn_on_slowpath() function, and whenever a warning occurs the new taint flag 'W' is set. This is useful to know if a warning occurred before a BUG by preserving the warning as a flag in the taint state. This does not work on architectures where WARN_ON has its own definition. These archs are: 1. s390 2. superh 3. avr32 4. parisc The maintainers of these architectures have been added in the Cc: list in this email to alert them to the situation. The documentation in oops-tracing.txt has been updated to include the new flag. Signed-off-by:

BITS_PER_LONG is a signed value (32 or 64) DIV_ROUND_UP(nr, BITS_PER_LONG) performs signed arithmetic if "nr" is signed too. Converting BITS_TO_LONGS(nr) to DIV_ROUND_UP(nr, BITS_PER_BYTE * sizeof(long)) makes sure compiler can perform a right shift, even if "nr" is a signed value, instead of an expensive integer divide. Applying this patch saves 141 bytes on x86 when CONFIG_CC_OPTIMIZE_FOR_SIZE=y and speedup bitmap operations. Signed-off-by:

Epoll calls rb_set_parent(n, n) to initialize the rb-tree node, but rb_set_parent() accesses node's pointer in its code. This creates a warning in kmemcheck (reported by Vegard Nossum) about an uninitialized memory access. The warning is harmless since the following rb-tree node insert is going to overwrite the node data. In any case I think it's better to not have that happening at all, and fix it by simplifying the code to get rid of a few lines that became superfluous after the previous epoll changes.

Make /dev/kmem a config option; /dev/kmem is VERY rarely used, and when used, it's generally for no good (rootkits tend to be the most common users). With this config option, users have the choice to disable /dev/kmem, saving some size as well. A patch to disable /dev/kmem has been in the Fedora and RHEL kernels for 4+ years now without any known problems or legit users of /dev/kmem.

Add __GFP_REPEAT to hugepage allocations. Do so to not necessitate userspace putting pressure on the VM by repeated echo's into /proc/sys/vm/nr_hugepages to grow the pool. With the previous patch to allow for large-order __GFP_REPEAT attempts to loop for a bit (as opposed to indefinitely), this increases the likelihood of getting hugepages when the system experiences (or recently experienced) load. Mel tested the patchset on an x86_32 laptop. With the patches, it was easier to use the proc interface to grow the hugepage pool. The following is the output of a script that grows the pool as much as possible running on 2.6.25-rc9. Allocating hugepages test ------------------------- Disabling OOM Killer for current test process Starting page count: 0 Attempt 1: 57 pages Progress made with 57 pages Attempt 2: 73 pages Progress made with 16 pages Attempt 3: 74 pages Progress made with 1 pages Attempt 4: 75 pages Progress made with 1 pages Attempt 5: 77 pages Progress made with 2 pages 77 pages was the most it allocated but it took 5 attempts from userspace to get it.

Your patches were able to allocate the bulk of possible pages on the first attempt. Signed-off-by:

Because of page order checks in __alloc_pages(), hugepage (and similarly large order) allocations will not retry unless explicitly marked __GFP_REPEAT. However, the current retry logic is nearly an infinite loop (or until reclaim does no progress whatsoever). For these costly allocations, that seems like overkill and could potentially never terminate. Mel observed that allowing current __GFP_REPEAT semantics for hugepage allocations essentially killed the system. I believe this is because we may continue to reclaim small orders of pages all over, but never have enough to satisfy the hugepage allocation request. This is clearly only a problem for large order allocations, of which hugepages are the most obvious (to me). Modify try_to_free_pages() to indicate how many pages were reclaimed. Use that information in __alloc_pages() to eventually fail a large __GFP_REPEAT allocation when we've reclaimed an order of pages equal to or greater than the allocation's order. This relies on lumpy reclaim functioning as advertised. Due to fragmentation, lumpy reclaim may not be able to free up the order needed in one invocation, so multiple iterations may be requred. In other words, the more fragmented memory is, the more retry attempts __GFP_REPEAT will make (particularly for higher order allocations). This changes the semantics of __GFP_REPEAT subtly, but *only* for allocations > PAGE_ALLOC_COSTLY_ORDER. With this patch, for those size allocations, we will try up to some point (at least 1<<order reclaimed pages), rather than forever (which is the case for allocations <= PAGE_ALLOC_COSTLY_ORDER). This change improves the /proc/sys/vm/nr_hugepages interface with a follow-on patch that makes pool allocations use __GFP_REPEAT. Rather than administrators repeatedly echo'ing a particular value into the sysctl, and forcing reclaim into action manually, this change allows for the sysctl to attempt a reasonable effort itself. Similarly, dynamic pool growth should be more successful under load, as lumpy reclaim can try to free up pages, rather than failing right away. Choosing to reclaim only up to the order of the requested allocation strikes a balance between not failing hugepage allocations and returning to the caller when it's unlikely to every succeed. Because of lumpy reclaim, if we have freed the order requested, hopefully it has been in big chunks and those chunks will allow our allocation to succeed. If that isn't the case after freeing up the current order, I don't think it is likely to succeed in the future, although it is possible given a particular fragmentation pattern. Signed-off-by:

The definition and use of __GFP_REPEAT, __GFP_NOFAIL and __GFP_NORETRY in the core VM have somewhat differing comments as to their actual semantics. Annoyingly, the flags definition has inline and header comments, which might be interpreted as not being equivalent. Just add references to the header comments in the inline ones so they don't go out of sync in the future. In their use in __alloc_pages() clarify that the current implementation treats low-order allocations and __GFP_REPEAT allocations as distinct cases. To clarify, the flags' semantics are: __GFP_NORETRY means try no harder than one run through __alloc_pages __GFP_REPEAT means __GFP_NOFAIL __GFP_NOFAIL means repeat forever order <= PAGE_ALLOC_COSTLY_ORDER means __GFP_NOFAIL Signed-off-by:
