Impact: obsolete feature removal
The zImage kernel format has been functionally unused for a very long
time. It is just barely possible to build a modern kernel that still
fits within the zImage size limit, but it is highly unlikely that
anyone ever uses it. Furthermore, although it is still supported by
most bootloaders, it has been at best poorly tested (or not tested at
all); some bootloaders are even known to not support zImage at all and
not having even noticed.
Also remove some really obsolete constants that no longer have any
meaning.

Removing the sysfs interface for p4-clockmod was flagged as a
regression in bug 12826.
Course of action:
- Find out the remaining causes of overheating, and fix them
if possible. ACPI should be doing the right thing automatically.
If it isn't, we need to fix that.
- mark p4-clockmod ui as deprecated
- try again with the removal in six months.
It's not really feasible to printk about the deprecation, because
it needs to happen at all the sysfs entry points, which means adding
a lot of strcmp("p4-clockmod".. calls to the core, which.. bleuch.

And that rdmsr faults (not allowed from non-0 PL). We can get around
this by mugging the family ID part of the cpuid. 5 seems like a good

Of course, this is a hack (how very lguest!). We could just indicate

Impact: fix race+crash in mmiotrace
The list manipulation in remove_kmmio_fault_pages() was broken. If more
than one consecutive kmmio_fault_page was re-added during the grace
period between unregister_kmmio_probe() and remove_kmmio_fault_pages(),
the list manipulation failed to remove pages from the release list.
After a second grace period the pages get into rcu_free_kmmio_fault_pages()
and raise a BUG_ON() kernel crash.
The list manipulation is fixed to properly remove pages from the release
list.
This bug has been present from the very beginning of mmiotrace in the
mainline kernel. It was introduced in 0fd0e3da ("x86: mmiotrace full

Impact: improve out-of-range fixmap index debugging
Commit "1b42f51630c7eebce6fb780b480731eb81afd325"
defined the __this_fixmap_does_not_exist() function
with a WARN_ON(1) in it.
This causes the linker to not report an error when
__this_fixmap_does_not_exist() is called with a
non-constant parameter.
Ingo defined __this_fixmap_does_not_exist() because he
wanted to get virt addresses of fix memory of nest level
by non-constant index.
But we can fix this and still keep the link-time check:
We can get the four slot virt addresses on link time and
store them to array slot_virt[].
Then we can then refer the slot_virt with non-constant index,
in the ioremap-leak detection code.

In uv_flush_tlb_others() (arch/x86/kernel/tlb_uv.c),
the "WARN_ON(!in_atomic())" fails if CONFIG_PREEMPT is not enabled.
And CONFIG_PREEMPT is not enabled by default in the distribution that
most UV owners will use.
We could #ifdef CONFIG_PREEMPT the warning, but that is not good form.
And there seems to be no suitable fix to in_atomic() when CONFIG_PREMPT
is not on.
As Ingo commented:
> and we have no proper primitive to test for atomicity. (mainly
> because we dont know about atomicity on a non-preempt kernel)

Impact: fix relocation overflow during module load
x86_64 uses 32bit relocations for symbol access and static percpu
symbols whether in core or modules must be inside 2GB of the percpu
segement base which the dynamic percpu allocator doesn't guarantee.
This patch makes x86_64 reserve PERCPU_MODULE_RESERVE bytes in the
first chunk so that module percpu areas are always allocated from the
first chunk which is always inside the relocatable range.
This problem exists for any percpu allocator but is easily triggered
when using the embedding allocator because the second chunk is located
beyond 2GB on it.
This patch also changes the meaning of PERCPU_DYNAMIC_RESERVE such
that it only indicates the size of the area to reserve for dynamic
allocation as static and dynamic areas can be separate. New
PERCPU_DYNAMIC_RESERVED is increased by 4k for both 32 and 64bits as
the reserved area separation eats away some allocatable space and
having slightly more headroom (currently between 4 and 8k after
minimal boot sans module area) makes sense for common case
performance.
x86_32 can address anywhere from anywhere and doesn't need reserving.
Mike Galbraith first reported the problem first and bisected it to the
embedding percpu allocator commit.

Impact: add reserved allocation functionality and use it for module
percpu variables
This patch implements reserved allocation from the first chunk. When
setting up the first chunk, arch can ask to set aside certain number
of bytes right after the core static area which is available only
through a separate reserved allocator. This will be used primarily
for module static percpu variables on architectures with limited
relocation range to ensure that the module perpcu symbols are inside
the relocatable range.
If reserved area is requested, the first chunk becomes reserved and
isn't available for regular allocation. If the first chunk also
includes piggy-back dynamic allocation area, a separate chunk mapping
the same region is created to serve dynamic allocation. The first one
is called static first chunk and the second dynamic first chunk.
Although they share the page map, their different area map
initializations guarantee they serve disjoint areas according to their
purposes.
If arch doesn't setup reserved area, reserved allocation is handled
like any other allocation.
Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org>
Impact: reduce unnecessary memory usage on certain configurations
Embedding percpu allocator allocates unit_size *
smp_num_possible_cpus() bytes consecutively and use it for the first
chunk. However, if the static area is small, this can result in
excessive prellocated free space in the first chunk due to
PCPU_MIN_UNIT_SIZE restriction.
This patch makes embedding percpu allocator preallocate only what's
necessary as described by PERPCU_DYNAMIC_RESERVE and return the
leftover to the bootmem allocator.
Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org>
Impact: argument semantic cleanup
In pcpu_setup_first_chunk(), zero @unit_size and @dyn_size meant
auto-sizing. It's okay for @unit_size as 0 doesn't make sense but 0
dynamic reserve size is valid. Alos, if arch @dyn_size is calculated
from other parameters, it might end up passing in 0 @dyn_size and
malfunction when the size is automatically adjusted.
This patch makes both @unit_size and @dyn_size ssize_t and use -1 for
auto sizing.

Impact: cleaup
Make the following cleanups.
* There isn't much arch-specific about PERCPU_MODULE_RESERVE. Always
define it whether arch overrides PERCPU_ENOUGH_ROOM or not.
* blackfin overrides PERCPU_ENOUGH_ROOM to align static area size. Do
it by default.
* percpu allocation sizes doesn't have much to do with the page size.
Don't use PAGE_SHIFT in their definition.
