Patch from George G. Davis
Resolve ARM1136 VIPT non-aliasing cache coherency issues observed when
using ptrace to set breakpoints and cleanup copy_{to,from}_user_page()
while we're here as requested by Russell King because "it's also far
too heavy on non-v6 CPUs".
NOTES:
1. Only access_process_vm() calls copy_{to,from}_user_page().
2. access_process_vm() calls get_user_pages() to pin down the "page".
3. get_user_pages() calls flush_dcache_page(page) which ensures cache
coherency between kernel and userspace mappings of "page". However
flush_dcache_page(page) may not invalidate I-Cache over this range
for all cases, specifically, I-Cache is not invalidated for the VIPT
non-aliasing case. So memory is consistent between kernel and user
space mappings of "page" but I-Cache may still be hot over this
range. IOW, we don't have to worry about flush_cache_page() before
memcpy().
4. Now, for the copy_to_user_page() case, after memcpy(), we must flush
the caches so memory is consistent with kernel cache entries and
invalidate the I-Cache if this mm region is executable. We don't
need to do anything after memcpy() for the copy_from_user_page()
case since kernel cache entries will be invalidated via the same
process above if we access "page" again. The flush_ptrace_access()
function (borrowed from SPARC64 implementation) is added to handle
cache flushing after memcpy() for the copy_to_user_page() case.

Since vma->vm_pgoff is in units of smallpages, VMAs for huge pages have the
lower HPAGE_SHIFT - PAGE_SHIFT bits always cleared, which results in badd
offsets to the interleave functions. Take this difference from small pages
into account when calculating the offset. This does add a 0-bit shift into
the small-page path (via alloc_page_vma()), but I think that is negligible.
Also add a BUG_ON to prevent the offset from growing due to a negative
right-shift, which probably shouldn't be allowed anyways.
Tested on an 8-memory node ppc64 NUMA box and got the interleaving I
expected.

The via-pmu backlight code (introduced in 2.6.18) has various design issues
causing crashes on machines using it like the old Wallstreet powerbook
(Michael, the author, never managed to test on these and I just got my hand
on one of those old beasts).
This fixes them by no longer trying to hijack the backlight device of the
frontmost framebuffer (causing that framebuffer to crash) but having it's
own local bits instead. Might look weird but it's better that way on those
old machines, at least as a last-minute fix for 2.6.18. We might rework
the whole thing later. This patch also changes the way it gets notified of
sleep and wakeup in order to properly shut the backlight down on sleep and
bring it back on wakeup.

This patch works around a complex dm-related deadlock/livelock down in the

Alasdair said:
Several dm targets suffer from this.
Mempools are not yet used correctly everywhere in device-mapper: they can

multiple instances. I made fixing this one of the prerequisites for this

which in some cases makes people more likely to hit the problem.
There's been some progress on this recently with (unfinished) dm-crypt
patches at:

(dm-crypt-move-io-to-workqueue.patch plus dependencies)
and:
I've no problems with a temporary workaround like that, but Milan Broz (a
new Redhat developer in the Czech Republic) has started reviewing all the
mempool usage in device-mapper so I'm expecting we'll soon have a proper fix
for this associated problems. [He's back from holiday at the start of next
week.]
For now, this sad-but-safe little patch will allow the machine to recover.

Cleanup allocation and freeing of tsk->delays used by delay accounting.
This solves two problems reported for delay accounting:
1. oops in __delayacct_blkio_ticks
http://www.uwsg.indiana.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/0608.2/1844.html
Currently tsk->delays is getting freed too early in task exit which can
cause a NULL tsk->delays to get accessed via reading of /proc/<tgid>/stats.
The patch fixes this problem by freeing tsk->delays closer to when
task_struct itself is freed up. As a result, it also eliminates the use of
tsk->delays_lock which was only being used (inadequately) to safeguard
access to tsk->delays while a task was exiting.
2. Possible memory leak in kernel/delayacct.c
http://www.uwsg.indiana.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/0608.2/1389.html
The patch cleans up tsk->delays allocations after a bad fork which was
missing earlier.
The patch has been tested to fix the problems listed above and stress
tested with rapid calls to delay accounting's taskstats command interface
(which is the other path that can access the same data, besides the /proc
interface causing the oops above).

The ZVC counter update threshold is currently set to a fixed value of 32.
This patch sets up the threshold depending on the number of processors and
the sizes of the zones in the system.
With the current threshold of 32, I was able to observe slight contention
when more than 130-140 processors concurrently updated the counters. The
contention vanished when I either increased the threshold to 64 or used
Andrew's idea of overstepping the interval (see ZVC overstep patch).
However, we saw contention again at 220-230 processors. So we need higher
values for larger systems.
But the current default is already a bit of an overkill for smaller
systems. Some systems have tiny zones where precision matters. For
example i386 and x86_64 have 16M DMA zones and either 900M ZONE_NORMAL or
ZONE_DMA32. These are even present on SMP and NUMA systems.
The patch here sets up a threshold based on the number of processors in the
system and the size of the zone that these counters are used for. The
threshold should grow logarithmically, so we use fls() as an easy
approximation.
Results of tests on a system with 1024 processors (4TB RAM)
The following output is from a test allocating 1GB of memory concurrently
on each processor (Forking the process. So contention on mmap_sem and the
pte locks is not a factor):
X MIN
TYPE: CPUS WALL WALL SYS USER TOTCPU
fork 1 0.552 0.552 0.540 0.012 0.552
fork 4 0.552 0.548 2.164 0.036 2.200
fork 16 0.564 0.548 8.812 0.164 8.976
fork 128 0.580 0.572 72.204 1.208 73.412
fork 256 1.300 0.660 310.400 2.160 312.560
fork 512 3.512 0.696 1526.836 4.816 1531.652
fork 1020 20.024 0.700 17243.176 6.688 17249.863
So a threshold of 32 is fine up to 128 processors. At 256 processors contention
becomes a factor.
Overstepping the counter (earlier patch) improves the numbers a bit:
fork 4 0.552 0.548 2.164 0.040 2.204
fork 16 0.552 0.548 8.640 0.148 8.788
fork 128 0.556 0.548 69.676 0.956 70.632
fork 256 0.876 0.636 212.468 2.108 214.576
fork 512 2.276 0.672 997.324 4.260 1001.584
fork 1020 13.564 0.680 11586.436 6.088 11592.523
Still contention at 512 and 1020. Contention at 1020 is down by a third.
256 still has a slight bit of contention.
After this patch the counter threshold will be set to 125 which reduces
contention significantly:
fork 128 0.560 0.548 69.776 0.932 70.708
fork 256 0.636 0.556 143.460 2.036 145.496
fork 512 0.640 0.548 284.244 4.236 288.480
fork 1020 1.500 0.588 1326.152 8.892 1335.044

Increments and decrements are usually grouped rather than mixed. We can
optimize the inc and dec functions for that case.
Increment and decrement the counters by 50% more than the threshold in
those cases and set the differential accordingly. This decreases the need
to update the atomic counters.
The idea came originally from Andrew Morton. The overstepping alone was
sufficient to address the contention issue found when updating the global
and the per zone counters from 160 processors.
Also remove some code in dec_zone_page_state.
