This is a new slab allocator which was motivated by the complexity of the
existing code in mm/slab.c. It attempts to address a variety of concerns
with the existing implementation.
A. Management of object queues
A particular concern was the complex management of the numerous object
queues in SLAB. SLUB has no such queues. Instead we dedicate a slab for
each allocating CPU and use objects from a slab directly instead of
queueing them up.
B. Storage overhead of object queues
SLAB Object queues exist per node, per CPU. The alien cache queue even
has a queue array that contain a queue for each processor on each
node. For very large systems the number of queues and the number of
objects that may be caught in those queues grows exponentially. On our
systems with 1k nodes / processors we have several gigabytes just tied up
for storing references to objects for those queues This does not include
the objects that could be on those queues. One fears that the whole
memory of the machine could one day be consumed by those queues.
C. SLAB meta data overhead
SLAB has overhead at the beginning of each slab. This means that data
cannot be naturally aligned at the beginning of a slab block. SLUB keeps
all meta data in the corresponding page_struct. Objects can be naturally
aligned in the slab. F.e. a 128 byte object will be aligned at 128 byte
boundaries and can fit tightly into a 4k page with no bytes left over.
SLAB cannot do this.
D. SLAB has a complex cache reaper
SLUB does not need a cache reaper for UP systems. On SMP systems
the per CPU slab may be pushed back into partial list but that
operation is simple and does not require an iteration over a list
of objects. SLAB expires per CPU, shared and alien object queues
during cache reaping which may cause strange hold offs.
E. SLAB has complex NUMA policy layer support
SLUB pushes NUMA policy handling into the page allocator. This means that
allocation is coarser (SLUB does interleave on a page level) but that
situation was also present before 2.6.13. SLABs application of
policies to individual slab objects allocated in SLAB is
certainly a performance concern due to the frequent references to
memory policies which may lead a sequence of objects to come from
one node after another. SLUB will get a slab full of objects
from one node and then will switch to the next.
F. Reduction of the size of partial slab lists
SLAB has per node partial lists. This means that over time a large
number of partial slabs may accumulate on those lists. These can
only be reused if allocator occur on specific nodes. SLUB has a global
pool of partial slabs and will consume slabs from that pool to
decrease fragmentation.
G. Tunables
SLAB has sophisticated tuning abilities for each slab cache. One can
manipulate the queue sizes in detail. However, filling the queues still
requires the uses of the spin lock to check out slabs. SLUB has a global
parameter (min_slab_order) for tuning. Increasing the minimum slab
order can decrease the locking overhead. The bigger the slab order the
less motions of pages between per CPU and partial lists occur and the
better SLUB will be scaling.
G. Slab merging
We often have slab caches with similar parameters. SLUB detects those
on boot up and merges them into the corresponding general caches. This
leads to more effective memory use. About 50% of all caches can
be eliminated through slab merging. This will also decrease
slab fragmentation because partial allocated slabs can be filled
up again. Slab merging can be switched off by specifying
slub_nomerge on boot up.
Note that merging can expose heretofore unknown bugs in the kernel
because corrupted objects may now be placed differently and corrupt
differing neighboring objects. Enable sanity checks to find those.
H. Diagnostics
The current slab diagnostics are difficult to use and require a
recompilation of the kernel. SLUB contains debugging code that
is always available (but is kept out of the hot code paths).
SLUB diagnostics can be enabled via the "slab_debug" option.
Parameters can be specified to select a single or a group of
slab caches for diagnostics. This means that the system is running
with the usual performance and it is much more likely that
race conditions can be reproduced.
I. Resiliency
If basic sanity checks are on then SLUB is capable of detecting
common error conditions and recover as best as possible to allow the
system to continue.
J. Tracing
Tracing can be enabled via the slab_debug=T,<slabcache> option
during boot. SLUB will then protocol all actions on that slabcache
and dump the object contents on free.
K. On demand DMA cache creation.
Generally DMA caches are not needed. If a kmalloc is used with
__GFP_DMA then just create this single slabcache that is needed.
For systems that have no ZONE_DMA requirement the support is
completely eliminated.
L. Performance increase
Some benchmarks have shown speed improvements on kernbench in the
range of 5-10%. The locking overhead of slub is based on the
underlying base allocation size. If we can reliably allocate
larger order pages then it is possible to increase slub
performance much further. The anti-fragmentation patches may
enable further performance increases.
Tested on:
i386 UP + SMP, x86_64 UP + SMP + NUMA emulation, IA64 NUMA + Simulator
SLUB Boot options
slub_nomerge Disable merging of slabs
slub_min_order=x Require a minimum order for slab caches. This
increases the managed chunk size and therefore
reduces meta data and locking overhead.
slub_min_objects=x Mininum objects per slab. Default is 8.
slub_max_order=x Avoid generating slabs larger than order specified.
slub_debug Enable all diagnostics for all caches
slub_debug=<options> Enable selective options for all caches
slub_debug=<o>,<cache> Enable selective options for a certain set of
caches
Available Debug options
F Double Free checking, sanity and resiliency
R Red zoning
P Object / padding poisoning
U Track last free / alloc
T Trace all allocs / frees (only use for individual slabs).
To use SLUB: Apply this patch and then select SLUB as the default slab
allocator.

Architectures that don't support DMA can say so by adding a config NO_DMA
to their Kconfig file. This will prevent compilation of some dma specific
driver code. Also dma-mapping-broken.h isn't needed anymore on at least
s390. This avoids compilation and linking of otherwise dead/broken code.
Other architectures that include dma-mapping-broken.h are arm26, h8300,
m68k, m68knommu and v850. If these could be converted as well we could get
rid of the header file.

At present, the serial core always allows setserial in userspace to change the
port address, irq and base clock of any serial port. That makes sense for
legacy ISA ports, but not for (say) embedded ns16550 compatible serial ports
at peculiar addresses. In these cases, the kernel code configuring the ports
must know exactly where they are, and their clocking arrangements (which can
be unusual on embedded boards). It doesn't make sense for userspace to change
these settings.
Therefore, this patch defines a UPF_FIXED_PORT flag for the uart_port
structure. If this flag is set when the serial port is configured, any
attempts to alter the port's type, io address, irq or base clock with
setserial are ignored.
In addition this patch uses the new flag for on-chip serial ports probed in
arch/powerpc/kernel/legacy_serial.c, and for other hard-wired serial ports
probed by drivers/serial/of_serial.c.

Serial driver patch for the PMC-Sierra MSP71xx devices.
There are three different fixes:
1 Fix for DesignWare APB THRE errata: In brief, this is a non-standard
16550 in that the THRE interrupt will not re-assert itself simply by
disabling and re-enabling the THRI bit in the IER, it is only re-enabled
if a character is actually sent out.
It appears that the "8250-uart-backup-timer.patch" in the "mm" tree
also fixes it so we have dropped our initial workaround. This patch now
needs to be applied on top of that "mm" patch.
2 Fix for Busy Detect on LCR write: The DesignWare APB UART has a feature
which causes a new Busy Detect interrupt to be generated if it's busy
when the LCR is written. This fix saves the value of the LCR and
rewrites it after clearing the interrupt.
3 Workaround for interrupt/data concurrency issue: The SoC needs to
ensure that writes that can cause interrupts to be cleared reach the UART
before returning from the ISR. This fix reads a non-destructive register
on the UART so the read transaction completion ensures the previously
queued write transaction has also completed.

This was broken. It adds complexity, for no good reason. Rather than
separate __pa() and __pa_symbol(), we should deprecate __pa_symbol(),
and preferably __pa() too - and just use "virt_to_phys()" instead, which
is more readable and has nicer semantics.
However, right now, just undo the separation, and make __pa_symbol() be
the exact same as __pa(). That fixes the bugs this patch introduced,
and we can do the fairly obvious cleanups later.
Do the new __phys_addr() function (which is now the actual workhorse for
the unified __pa()/__pa_symbol()) as a real external function, that way
all the potential issues with compile/link-time optimizations of
constant symbol addresses go away, and we can also, if we choose to, add
more sanity-checking of the argument.

__ioremap() took a set of page table flags (specifically the cacheable
and bufferable bits) to control the mapping type. However, with
the advent of ARMv6, this is far too limited.
Replace the page table flags with a memory type index, so that the
desired attributes can be selected from the mem_type table.
Finally, to prevent silent miscompilation due to the differing
arguments, rename the __ioremap() and __ioremap_pfn() functions.

GPIO and MPUIO wake updates:
- Hook MPUIOs into the irq wakeup framework too. This uses a platform
device to update irq enables during system sleep states, instead of
a sys_device, since the latter is no longer needed for such things.
- Also forward enable/disable irq wake requests to the relevant GPIO
controller, so the top level IRQ dispatcher can (eventually) handle
these wakeup events automatically if more than one GPIO pin needs to
be a wakeup event source.
- Minor tweak to the 24xx non-wakeup gpio stuff: no need to check such
read-only data under the spinlock.
This assumes (maybe wrongly?) that only 16xx can do GPIO wakeup; without
a 15xx I can't test such stuff.
Also this expects the top level IRQ dispatcher to properly handle requests
to enable/disable irq wake, which is currently known to be wrong: omap1
saves the flags but ignores them, omap2 doesn't even save it. (Wakeup
events are, wrongly, hardwired in the relevant mach-omapX/pm.c file ...)
So MPUIO irqs won't yet trigger system wakeup.

Fix a crash caused by requests placed in the queue with the completed flag
already set. This lead to some ADB_SYNC requests returning early and their
request structs being popped off the stack while still queued. Stack corruption
ensued or an invalid request callback pointer was invoked or both. Eliminate
macii_retransmit() and its buggy implementation of macii_write(). Have
macii_queue_poll() fully initialise the request queues.
Fix a bug in macii_queue_poll() where the last_req pointer was not being set.
This caused some requests to leave the queue before being completed (and would
also corrupt the stack under certain conditions).
Fix a race in macii_start that could set the state machine to "reading" while
current_req was null.
No longer send poll commands with the ADBREQ_REPLY flag -- doing that caused
the replies to be stored in the request buffer where they were forgotten
about.
Don't autopoll by continuously sending new Talk commands. Get the controller to
do that for us. This reduces the ADB interrupt rate on an idle bus to about 5
per second. Only autopoll the devices that were probed.
Explicitly clear the interrupt flag when polling.
Use disable_irq rather than local_irq_save when polling.
Remove excess local_irq_save/restore pairs.
Improve bus timeout and service request detection.
Remove unused code (last_reply, adb_dir etc) and unneeded code (prefix_len,
first_byte etc).
Change TIP and TACK to their correct names on this ADB controller (ST_EVEN and
ST_ODD).
Add some commentry.
Add a generous quantity of sanity checks (BUG_ONs).

There are no slow IRQs on Macs since Roman Zippel's IRQ reorganisation that
went into 2.6.16 and removed mac_irq_list[] and the do_mac_irq_list()
dispatcher. (They were implemented in do_mac_irq_list() by lowering the IPL.)
Hence there's no more use for mutual exclusion in the Mac interrupt
dispatchers. Remove it.

Some Macs lack a slot interrupt enable register. So the existing code makes
disabled and unregistered slot IRQ lines outputs set high. This seems to work
on quadras, but does not work on genuine VIAs (perhaps the card still succeeds
in pulling the line low, or perhaps because this increases the settle time on
the port A input, meaning that the CA1 IRQ could fire before the slot line
reads active).
Because of this, the nubus_active flags were used to mask IRQs, which is
actually worse than the problem it tries to solve. Any interrupt masked by
nubus_active will remain asserted and prevent further transitions on CA1. And
so the nubus gets wedged regardless of hardware (emulated VIA ASIC, real VIA
chip or RBV).
The best solution to this hardware limitation of genuine VIAs is to disable the
umbrella SLOTS IRQ when disabling a slot on those machines. Unfortunately, this
means all slot IRQs get disabled when any slot IRQ is disabled. But it is only
a problem when there's more than 1 device using nubus interrupts.
Another potential problem for genuine VIAs is an unregistered nubus IRQ.
Eventually it will be possible to enable the CA1 interrupt by installing its
handler only _after_ all nubus drivers have loaded but _before_ the kernel
needs them, at which time this last problem can be fixed. For now it can be
worked around:
- disable MacOS extensions
- don't boot MacOS (use the Emile bootloader instead)
- get the bootloaders to disable ROM drivers (Penguin does this for video
cards already, don't know about Emile)
- physically remove unsupported cards

Make sure that there are no slot IRQs asserted before leaving the nubus
handler. If there are and we don't then the nubus gets wedged because this
prevents a CA1 transition, which means no more nubus IRQs.
Make the interrupt dispatch loops terminate sooner.
Explicitly initialise the VIA latches to make the code more easily understood.
Also some cleanups.

Commit c1821c2e9711adc3cd298a16b7237c92a2cee78d introduced the
uaccess structure that is used to select the correct set of user
copy functions for the different execution modes (standard vs.
noexec vs. z9 optimized user copy). The uaccess symbol is exported
with EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL. This breaks all non-gpl modules that use
user copy. To make them work again change the export to
EXPORT_SYMBOL.

Let's surround constructs like:
orr r3, r3, #(KERNEL_RAM_PADDR & 0x00f00000)
between .if .endif since (KERNEL_RAM_PADDR & 0x00f00000) is 0 in 99% of
all cases.
Also let's mask PHYS_OFFSET with 0x00f00000 instead of 0x00e00000.
Section mappings are really 1MB not 2MB and the 2MB groupping is
a higher level issue already much better enforced with
#if (PHYS_OFFSET & 0x001fffff)
#error "PHYS_OFFSET must be at an even 2MiB boundary!"
#endif
at the top of the file.
