2007-07-21x86_64: disable srat when numa emulation succeedsDavid Rientjes1-1/+5
When NUMA emulation succeeds, acpi_numa needs to be set to -1 so that srat_disabled() will always return true. We won't be calling acpi_scan_nodes() or registering the true nodes we've found.

2007-07-21x86_64: fix e820_hole_size based on address rangesDavid Rientjes1-6/+2
e820_hole_size() now uses the newly extracted helper function, e820_find_active_region(), to determine the size of usable RAM in a range of PFN's. This was previously broken because of two reasons: - The start and end PFN's of each e820 entry were not properly rounded prior to excluding those entries in the range, and - Entries smaller than a page were not properly excluded from being accumulated. This resulted in emulated nodes being incorrectly mapped to ranges that were completely reserved and not candidates for being registered as active ranges.

2007-07-21x86_64: fake pxm-to-node mapping for fake numaDavid Rientjes1-0/+1
For NUMA emulation, our SLIT should represent the true NUMA topology of the system but our proximity domain to node ID mapping needs to reflect the emulated state. When NUMA emulation has successfully setup fake nodes on the system, a new function, acpi_fake_nodes() is called. This function determines the proximity domain (_PXM) for each true node found on the system. It then finds which emulated nodes have been allocated on this true node as determined by its starting address. The node ID to PXM mapping is changed so that each fake node ID points to the PXM of the true node that it is located on. If the machine failed to register a SLIT, then we assume there is no special requirement for emulated node affinity so we use the default LOCAL_DISTANCE, which is newly exported to this code, as our measurement if the emulated nodes appear in the same PXM. Otherwise, we use REMOTE_DISTANCE. PXM_INVAL and NID_INVAL are also exported to the ACPI header file so that we can compare node_to_pxm() results in generic code (in this case, the SRAT code).

2007-05-02[PATCH] x86-64: fixed size remaining fake nodesDavid Rientjes1-10/+37
Extends the numa=fake x86_64 command-line option to split the remaining system memory into nodes of fixed size. Any leftover memory is allocated to a final node unless the command-line ends with a comma. For example: numa=fake=2*512,*128 gives two 512M nodes and the remaining system memory is split into nodes of 128M each. This is beneficial for systems where the exact size of RAM is unknown or not necessarily relevant, but the size of the remaining nodes to be allocated is known based on their capacity for resource management.

2007-05-02[PATCH] x86-64: configurable fake numa node sizesDavid Rientjes1-108/+153
Extends the numa=fake x86_64 command-line option to allow for configurable node sizes. These nodes can be used in conjunction with cpusets for coarse memory resource management. The old command-line option is still supported: numa=fake=32 gives 32 fake NUMA nodes, ignoring the NUMA setup of the actual machine. But now you may configure your system for the node sizes of your choice: numa=fake=2*512,1024,2*256 gives two 512M nodes, one 1024M node, two 256M nodes, and the rest of system memory to a sixth node. The existing hash function is maintained to support the various node sizes that are possible with this implementation. Each node of the same size receives roughly the same amount of available pages, regardless of any reserved memory with its address range. The total available pages on the system is calculated and divided by the number of equal nodes to allocate. These nodes are then dynamically allocated and their borders extended until such time as their number of available pages reaches the required size. Configurable node sizes are recommended when used in conjunction with cpusets for memory control because it eliminates the overhead associated with scanning the zonelists of many smaller full nodes on page_alloc().

2007-02-13[PATCH] x86-64: Fix fake numa for x86_64 machines with big IO holeRohit Seth1-14/+96
This patch resolves the issue of running with numa=fake=X on kernel command line on x86_64 machines that have big IO hole. While calculating the size of each node now we look at the total hole size in that range. Previously there were nodes that only had IO holes in them causing kernel boot problems. We now use the NODE_MIN_SIZE (64MB) as the minimum size of memory that any node must have. We reduce the number of allocated nodes if the number of nodes specified on kernel command line results in any node getting memory smaller than NODE_MIN_SIZE. This change allows the extra memory to be incremented in NODE_MIN_SIZE granule and uniformly distribute among as many nodes (called big nodes) as possible.

- Removed an extraneous debug message from allocate_cachealigned_map - Changed extract_lsb_from_nodes to return 63 for the case where there was only one memory node. The prevents the creation of the dynamic hashmap. - Changed extract_lsb_from_nodes to use only the starting memory address of a node. On an ES7000, our nodes overlap the starting and ending address, meaning, that we see nodes like 00000 - 10000 10000 - 20000 But other systems have nodes whose start and end addresses do not overlap. For example: 00000 - 0FFFF 10000 - 1FFFF In this case, using the ending address will result in an LSB much lower than what is possible. In this case an LSB of 1 when in reality it should be 16.

This patch has the nice side effect in that it allows the hash map to grow for systems with large amounts of memory (256GB - 1TB), but suffer from having small PCI space tacked onto the boot node (which is somewhere between 192MB to 512MB on the ES7000).

2006-10-11[PATCH] mm: use symbolic names instead of indices for zone initialisationMel Gorman1-3/+5
Arch-independent zone-sizing is using indices instead of symbolic names to offset within an array related to zones (max_zone_pfns). The unintended impact is that ZONE_DMA and ZONE_NORMAL is initialised on powerpc instead of ZONE_DMA and ZONE_HIGHMEM when CONFIG_HIGHMEM is set. As a result, the the machine fails to boot but will boot with CONFIG_HIGHMEM turned off. The following patch properly initialises the max_zone_pfns[] array and uses symbolic names instead of indices in each architecture using arch-independent zone-sizing. Two users have successfully booted their powerpcs with it (one an ibook G4). It has also been boot tested on x86, x86_64, ppc64 and ia64. Please merge for 2.6.19-rc2.

2006-04-09[PATCH] x86_64: Handle empty PXMs that only contain hotplug memoryAndi Kleen1-9/+32
The node setup code would try to allocate the node metadata in the node itself, but that fails if there is no memory in there. This can happen with memory hotplug when the hotplug area defines an so far empty node. Now use bootmem to try to allocate the mem_map in other nodes. And if it fails don't panic, but just ignore the node. To make this work I added a new __alloc_bootmem_nopanic function that does what its name implies. TBD should try to use nearby nodes here. Currently we just use any. It's hard to do it better because bootmem doesn't have proper fallback lists yet. Signed-off-by: Andi Kleen <ak@suse.de> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>

From: Keith Mannthey, Andi Kleen Implement memory hotadd without sparsemem. The memory in the SRAT hotadd area is just preserved instead and can be activated later. There are a few restrictions: - Only one continuous hotadd area allowed per node The main problem is dealing with the many buggy SRAT tables that are out there. The strategy here is to reject anything suspicious. Originally from Keith Mannthey, with several hacks and changes by AK and also contributions from Andrew Morton [ TBD: Problems pointed out by KAMEZAWA Hiroyuki <kamezawa.hiroyu@jp.fujitsu.com>: 1) Goto's rebuild_zonelist patch will not work if CONFIG_MEMORY_HOTPLUG=n. Rebuilding zonelist is necessary when the system has just memory < 4G at boot, and hot add memory > 4G. because x86_64 has DMA32, ZONE_NORAML is not included into zonelist at boot time if system doesn't have memory >4G at boot. [AK: should just force the higher zones at boot time when SRAT tells us] 2) zone and node's spanned_pages and present_pages are not incremented. They should be. For example, our server (ia64/Fujitsu PrimeQuest) can equip memory from 4G to 1T(maybe 2T in future), and SRAT will *always* say we have possible 1T +memory. (Microsoft requires "write all possible memory in SRAT") When we reserve memmap for possible 1T memory, Linux will not work well in +minimum 4G configuraion ;) [AK: needs limiting to 5-10% of max memory] ] Signed-off-by: Andi Kleen <ak@suse.de> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>

2005-11-14[PATCH] x86_64: Make node boundaries consistentMagnus Damm1-2/+0
The current x86_64 NUMA memory code is inconsequent when it comes to node memory ranges. The exact behaviour varies depending on which config option that is used. setup_node_bootmem() has start and end as arguments and these are used to calculate the size of the node like this: (end - start). This is all fine if end is pointing to the first non-available byte. The problem is that the current x86_64 code sometimes treats it as the last present byte and sometimes as the first non-available byte. The result is that some configurations might lose a page at the end of the range. This patch tries to fix CONFIG_ACPI_NUMA, CONFIG_K8_NUMA and CONFIG_NUMA_EMU so they all treat the end variable as the first non-available byte. This is the same way as the single node code. The patch is boot tested on dual x86_64 hardware with the above configurations, but maybe the removed code is needed as some workaround?

2005-11-14[PATCH] x86_64: Add 4GB DMA32 zoneAndi Kleen1-20/+5
Add a new 4GB GFP_DMA32 zone between the GFP_DMA and GFP_NORMAL zones. As a bit of historical background: when the x86-64 port was originally designed we had some discussion if we should use a 16MB DMA zone like i386 or a 4GB DMA zone like IA64 or both. Both was ruled out at this point because it was in early 2.4 when VM is still quite shakey and had bad troubles even dealing with one DMA zone. We settled on the 16MB DMA zone mainly because we worried about older soundcards and the floppy. But this has always caused problems since then because device drivers had trouble getting enough DMA able memory. These days the VM works much better and the wide use of NUMA has proven it can deal with many zones successfully. So this patch adds both zones. This helps drivers who need a lot of memory below 4GB because their hardware is not accessing more (graphic drivers - proprietary and free ones, video frame buffer drivers, sound drivers etc.). Previously they could only use IOMMU+16MB GFP_DMA, which was not enough memory. Another common problem is that hardware who has full memory addressing for >4GB misses it for some control structures in memory (like transmit rings or other metadata). They tended to allocate memory in the 16MB GFP_DMA or the IOMMU/swiotlb then using pci_alloc_consistent, but that can tie up a lot of precious 16MB GFPDMA/IOMMU/swiotlb memory (even on AMD systems the IOMMU tends to be quite small) especially if you have many devices. With the new zone pci_alloc_consistent can just put this stuff into memory below 4GB which works better. One argument was still if the zone should be 4GB or 2GB. The main motivation for 2GB would be an unnamed not so unpopular hardware raid controller (mostly found in older machines from a particular four letter company) who has a strange 2GB restriction in firmware. But that one works ok with swiotlb/IOMMU anyways, so it doesn't really need GFP_DMA32. I chose 4GB to be compatible with IA64 and because it seems to be the most common restriction. The new zone is so far added only for x86-64. For other architectures who don't set up this new zone nothing changes. Architectures can set a compatibility define in Kconfig CONFIG_DMA_IS_DMA32 that will define GFP_DMA32 as GFP_DMA. Otherwise it's a nop because on 32bit architectures it's normally not needed because GFP_NORMAL (=0) is DMA able enough. One problem is still that GFP_DMA means different things on different architectures. e.g. some drivers used to have #ifdef ia64 use GFP_DMA (trusting it to be 4GB) #elif __x86_64__ (use other hacks like the swiotlb because 16MB is not enough) ... . This was quite ugly and is now obsolete. These should be now converted to use GFP_DMA32 unconditionally. I haven't done this yet. Or best only use pci_alloc_consistent/dma_alloc_coherent which will use GFP_DMA32 transparently. Signed-off-by: Andi Kleen <ak@suse.de> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>
2005-09-30[PATCH] x86_64 early numa init fixRavikiran G Thirumalai1-3/+2
The tests Alok carried out on Petr's box confirmed that cpu_to_node[BP] is not setup early enough by numa_init_array due to the x86_64 changes in 2.6.14-rc*, and unfortunately set wrongly by the work around code in numa_init_array(). cpu_to_node[0] gets set with 1 early and later gets set properly to 0 during identify_cpu() when all cpus are brought up, but confusing the numa slab in the process. Here is a quick fix for this. The right fix obviously is to have cpu_to_node[bsp] setup early for numa_init_array(). The following patch will fix the problem now, and the code can stay on even when cpu_to_node{BP] gets fixed early correctly. Thanks to Petr for access to his box.

2005-09-30[PATCH] x86_64: fix the BP node_to_cpumaskRavikiran G Thirumalai1-4/+1
Fix the BP node_to_cpumask. 2.6.14-rc* broke the boot cpu bit as the cpu_to_node(0) is now not setup early enough for numa_init_array. cpu_to_node[] is setup much later at srat_detect_node on acpi srat based em64t machines. This seems like a problem on amd machines too, Tested on em64t though. /sys/devices/system/node/node0/cpumap shows up sanely after this patch.

2005-09-12[PATCH] x86-64: Support dualcore and 8 socket systems in k8 fallback node ↵Andi Kleen1-4/+6
parsing In particular on systems where the local APIC space and node space is very different from the Linux CPU number space. Previously the older NUMA setup code directly parsing the K8 northbridge registers had some issues on 8 socket or dual core systems. This patch fixes them. This is mainly done by fixing some confusion between Linux CPU numbers and local APIC ids. We now pass the local APIC IDs to later code, which avoids mismatches. Also add some heuristics to detect cases where the Hypertransport nodeids and the local APIC IDs don't match, but are shifted by a constant offset. This is still all quite hackish, hopefully BIOS writers fill in correct SRATs instead. Signed-off-by: Andi Kleen <ak@suse.de> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>
2005-09-12[PATCH] x86-64: Don't assign CPU numbers in SRAT parsingAndi Kleen1-0/+3
Do that later when the CPU boots. SRAT just stores the APIC<->Node mapping node. This fixes problems on systems where the order of SRAT entries does not match the MADT. Signed-off-by: Andi Kleen <ak@suse.de> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>

2005-08-26[PATCH] x86_64: Tell VM about holes in nodesAndi Kleen1-1/+7
Some nodes can have large holes on x86-64. This fixes problems with the VM allowing too many dirty pages because it overestimates the number of available RAM in a node. In extreme cases you can end up with all RAM filled with dirty pages which can lead to deadlocks and other nasty behaviour. This patch just tells the VM about the known holes from e820. Reserved (like the kernel text or mem_map) is still not taken into account, but that should be only a few percent error now. Small detail is that the flat setup uses the NUMA free_area_init_node() now too because it offers more flexibility.

2005-06-25[PATCH] x86_64: Change init sections for CPU hotplug supportAshok Raj1-1/+1
This patch adds __cpuinit and __cpuinitdata sections that need to exist past boot to support cpu hotplug. Caveat: This is done *only* for EM64T CPU Hotplug support, on request from Andi Kleen. Much of the generic hotplug code in kernel, and none of the other archs that support CPU hotplug today, i386, ia64, ppc64, s390 and parisc dont mark sections with __cpuinit, but only mark them as __devinit, and __devinitdata. If someone is motivated to change generic code, we need to make sure all existing hotplug code does not break, on other arch's that dont use __cpuinit, and __cpudevinit.

2005-06-23[PATCH] add x86-64 specific support for sparsememMatt Tolentino1-0/+8
This patch adds in the necessary support for sparsemem such that x86-64 kernels may use sparsemem as an alternative to discontigmem for NUMA kernels. Note that this does no preclude one from continuing to build NUMA kernels using discontigmem, but merely allows the option to build NUMA kernels with sparsemem. Interestingly, the use of sparsemem in lieu of discontigmem in NUMA kernels results in reduced text size for otherwise equivalent kernels as shown in the example builds below: text data bss dec hex filename 2371036 765884 1237108 4374028 42be0c vmlinux.discontig 2366549 776484 1302772 4445805 43d66d vmlinux.sparse Signed-off-by: Matt Tolentino <matthew.e.tolentino@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Dave Hansen <haveblue@us.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>
2005-04-16Linux-2.6.12-rc2v2.6.12-rc2Linus Torvalds1-0/+294
Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history, even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about 3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good infrastructure for it. Let it rip!
