There is no need to worry about module and __init text disappearing
case, because that ftrace has a module notifier that is called when
a module is being unloaded and before the text goes away and this
code grabs the ftrace_lock mutex and removes the module functions
from the ftrace list, such that it will no longer do any
modifications to that module's text, the update to make functions
be traced or not is done under the ftrace_lock mutex as well.
And by now, __init section codes should not been modified
by ftrace, because it is black listed in recordmcount.c and
ignored by ftrace.

commit 5ac48378 ("tracing: Use trace_seq_used() and seq_buf_used()
instead of len") changed the tracing code to use trace_seq_used() and
seq_buf_used() instead of using the seq_buf len directly to avoid

of s->len.

Jiri Olsa noted that the change to replace the control_ops did not update
the trampoline for when running perf on a single CPU and with CONFIG_PREEMPT
disabled (where dynamic ops, like perf, can use trampolines directly). The
result was that perf function could be called when RCU is not watching as
well as not handle the ftrace_local_disable().

Modify the ftrace_ops_get_func() to also check the RCU and PER_CPU ops flags
and use the recursive function if they are set. The recursive function is
modified to check those flags and execute the appropriate checks if they are
set.

Currently perf has its own list function within the ftrace infrastructure
that seems to be used only to allow for it to have per-cpu disabling as well
as a check to make sure that it's not called while RCU is not watching. It
uses something called the "control_ops" which is used to iterate over ops
under it with the control_list_func().

The problem is that this control_ops and control_list_func unnecessarily
complicates the code. By replacing FTRACE_OPS_FL_CONTROL with two new flags
(FTRACE_OPS_FL_RCU and FTRACE_OPS_FL_PER_CPU) we can remove all the code
that is special with the control ops and add the needed checks within the
generic ftrace_list_func().

When showing all tramps registered to a ftrace record in the file
enabled_functions, it exits the loop with ops == NULL. But then it is
suppose to show the function on the ops->trampoline and
add_trampoline_func() is called with the given ops. But because ops is now
NULL (to exit the loop), it always shows the static trampoline instead of
the one that is really registered to the record.

The call to add_trampoline_func() that shows the trampoline for the given
ops needs to be called at every iteration.

When an anomaly is found while modifying function code, ftrace_bug() is
called which disables the function tracing infrastructure and reports
information about what failed. If the code that is to be replaced does not
match what is expected, then actual code is shown. Currently there is no
arch generic way to show what was expected.

Add a new variable pointer calld ftrace_expected that the arch code can set
to point to what it expected so that ftrace_bug() can report the actual text

The ftrace function hook utility has several internal checks to make sure
that whatever it modifies is exactly what it expects to be modifying. This
is essential as modifying running code can be extremely dangerous to the
system.

When an anomaly is detected, ftrace_bug() is called which sends a splat to
the console and disables function tracing. There's some extra information
that is printed to help diagnose the issue.

One thing that is missing though is output of what ftrace was doing at the
time of the crash. Was it updating a call site or perhaps converting a call
site to a nop? A new global enum variable is created to state what ftrace
was doing at the time of the anomaly, and this is reported in ftrace_bug().

When a trigger is enabled, the cond flag should be set beforehand,

Likewise a trigger's cond flag should be reset after it's disabled,
not before.

Commit fcc742ea "ring-buffer: Add event descriptor to simplify passing

parameters was modified in a function and the code was designed not to have
an effect on that modified  parameter. Now that the parameter is a
descriptor and any modifications to it are non-volatile, the size of the
data could be unnecessarily expanded.

Remove the extra space added if a timestamp was added and the event went

Adjust kmem_cache_alloc_bulk API before we have any real users.

Adjust API to return type 'int' instead of previously type 'bool'.  This
is done to allow future extension of the bulk alloc API.

A future extension could be to allow SLUB to stop at a page boundary, when
specified by a flag, and then return the number of objects.

The advantage of this approach, would make it easier to make bulk alloc
run without local IRQs disabled.  With an approach of cmpxchg "stealing"
the entire c->freelist or page->freelist.  To avoid overshooting we would
stop processing at a slab-page boundary.  Else we always end up returning
some objects at the cost of another cmpxchg.

To keep compatible with future users of this API linking against an older
kernel when using the new flag, we need to return the number of allocated
objects with this API change.

Initial implementation missed support for kmem cgroup support in

If CONFIG_MEMCG_KMEM is not enabled, the compiler should be smart enough
to not add any asm code.

Incoming bulk free objects can belong to different kmem cgroups, and
object free call can happen at a later point outside memcg context.  Thus,
we need to keep the orig kmem_cache, to correctly verify if a memcg object
match against its "root_cache" (s->memcg_params.root_cache).

The call slab_pre_alloc_hook() interacts with kmemgc and is not allowed to
be called several times inside the bulk alloc for loop, due to the call to
memcg_kmem_get_cache().

This would result in hitting the VM_BUG_ON in __memcg_kmem_get_cache.

As suggested by Vladimir Davydov, change slab_post_alloc_hook() to be able
to handle an array of objects.

A subtle detail is, loop iterator "i" in slab_post_alloc_hook() must have
same type (size_t) as size argument.  This helps the compiler to easier
realize that it can remove the loop, when all debug statements inside loop
evaluates to nothing.  Note, this is only an issue because the kernel is
compiled with GCC option: -fno-strict-overflow

In slab_alloc_node() the compiler inlines and optimizes the invocation of
slab_post_alloc_hook(s, flags, 1, &object) by removing the loop and access
object directly.

This change focus on improving the speed of object freeing in the
"slowpath" of kmem_cache_free_bulk.

The calls slab_free (fastpath) and __slab_free (slowpath) have been
extended with support for bulk free, which amortize the overhead of
the (locked) cmpxchg_double.

To use the new bulking feature, we build what I call a detached
freelist.  The detached freelist takes advantage of three properties:

 1) the free function call owns the object that is about to be freed,
    thus writing into this memory is synchronization-free.

 2) many freelist's can co-exist side-by-side in the same slab-page
    each with a separate head pointer.

 3) it is the visibility of the head pointer that needs synchronization.

Given these properties, the brilliant part is that the detached
freelist can be constructed without any need for synchronization.  The
freelist is constructed directly in the page objects, without any
synchronization needed.  The detached freelist is allocated on the
stack of the function call kmem_cache_free_bulk.  Thus, the freelist
head pointer is not visible to other CPUs.

All objects in a SLUB freelist must belong to the same slab-page.
Thus, constructing the detached freelist is about matching objects
that belong to the same slab-page.  The bulk free array is scanned is
a progressive manor with a limited look-ahead facility.

Kmem debug support is handled in call of slab_free().

Notice kmem_cache_free_bulk no longer need to disable IRQs. This
only slowed down single free bulk with approx 3 cycles.

Performance with normal SLUB merging is significantly slower for
larger bulking.  This is believed to (primarily) be an effect of not
having to share the per-CPU data-structures, as tuning per-CPU size
can achieve similar performance.

Make it possible to free a freelist with several objects by adjusting API
of slab_free() and __slab_free() to have head, tail and an objects counter
(cnt).

Tail being NULL indicate single object free of head object.  This allow
compiler inline constant propagation in slab_free() and
slab_free_freelist_hook() to avoid adding any overhead in case of single
object free.

This allows a freelist with several objects (all within the same
slab-page) to be free'ed using a single locked cmpxchg_double in
__slab_free() and with an unlocked cmpxchg_double in slab_free().

Object debugging on the free path is also extended to handle these
freelists.  When CONFIG_SLUB_DEBUG is enabled it will also detect if
objects don't belong to the same slab-page.

These changes are needed for the next patch to bulk free the detached
freelists it introduces and constructs.

Micro benchmarking showed no performance reduction due to this change,
when debugging is turned off (compiled with CONFIG_SLUB_DEBUG).

Adjust the linker script and map_pages() to map kernel text and data on
physical 1MB huge/large pages.
Signed-off-by: Helge Deller <deller@gmx.de>

This patch adds huge page support to allow userspace to allocate huge
pages and to use hugetlbfs filesystem on 32- and 64-bit Linux kernels.
A later patch will add kernel support to map kernel text and data on
huge pages.

The only requirement is, that the kernel needs to be compiled for a
PA8X00 CPU (PA2.0 architecture). Older PA1.X CPUs do not support
variable page sizes. 64bit Kernels are compiled for PA2.0 by default.

Technically on parisc multiple physical huge pages may be needed to
emulate standard 2MB huge pages.

Use the 22bit instead of the 17bit branch instruction on a 64bit kernel
to reach the do_syscall_trace_exit function from the gateway page.
A huge page enabled kernel may need the additional branch distance bits.

For the 64bit kernel the initially 16 MB kernel memory might become too
small if you build a kernel with many modules built-in and with kernel
text and data areas mapped on huge pages.

This patch increases the initial mapping to 32MB for 64bit kernels and
keeps 16MB for 32bit kernels.

A fault vector on parisc needs to be 2K aligned.  Furthermore the
checksum of the fault vector needs to sum up to 0 which is being
calculated and written at runtime.

Up to now we aligned both PA20 and PA11 fault vectors on the same 4K
page in order to easily write the checksum after having mapped the
kernel read-only (by mapping this page only as read-write).
But when we want to map the kernel text and data on huge pages this
makes things harder.
So, simplify it by aligning both fault vectors on 2K boundries and write
the checksum before we map the page read-only.

Huge pages on parisc will have the same size as one pmd table, which
is on a 64bit kernel 2MB on a kernel with 4K kernel page sizes, and
on a 32bit kernel 4MB when used with 4K kernel pages.

Since parisc does not physically supports 2MB huge page sizes, emulate
it with two consecutive 1MB page sizes instead. Keeping the same huge
page size as one pmd will allow us to add transparent huge page support
later on.

Bit 21 in the pte flags was unused and will now be used to mark a page
as huge page (_PAGE_HPAGE_BIT).
