mm/memblock: add extra "flags" to memblock to allow selection of memory based on attribute

2015-06-25T00:49:44+00:00

Some high end Intel Xeon systems report uncorrectable memory errors as a recoverable machine check. Linux has included code for some time to process these and just signal the affected processes (or even recover completely if the error was in a read only page that can be replaced by reading from disk). But we have no recovery path for errors encountered during kernel code execution. Except for some very specific cases were are unlikely to ever be able to recover. Enter memory mirroring. Actually 3rd generation of memory mirroing. Gen1: All memory is mirrored Pro: No s/w enabling - h/w just gets good data from other side of the mirror Con: Halves effective memory capacity available to OS/applications Gen2: Partial memory mirror - just mirror memory begind some memory controllers Pro: Keep more of the capacity Con: Nightmare to enable. Have to choose between allocating from mirrored memory for safety vs. NUMA local memory for performance Gen3: Address range partial memory mirror - some mirror on each memory controller Pro: Can tune the amount of mirror and keep NUMA performance Con: I have to write memory management code to implement The current plan is just to use mirrored memory for kernel allocations. This has been broken into two phases: 1) This patch series - find the mirrored memory, use it for boot time allocations 2) Wade into mm/page_alloc.c and define a ZONE_MIRROR to pick up the unused mirrored memory from mm/memblock.c and only give it out to select kernel allocations (this is still being scoped because page_alloc.c is scary).

x86: remove the Xen-specific _PAGE_IOMAP PTE flag

2014-09-23T13:36:20+00:00

The _PAGE_IO_MAP PTE flag was only used by Xen PV guests to mark PTEs that were used to map I/O regions that are 1:1 in the p2m. This allowed Xen to obtain the correct PFN when converting the MFNs read from a PTE back to their PFN. Xen guests no longer use _PAGE_IOMAP for this. Instead mfn_to_pfn() returns the correct PFN by using a combination of the m2p and p2m to determine if an MFN corresponds to a 1:1 mapping in the the p2m. Remove _PAGE_IOMAP, replacing it with _PAGE_UNUSED2 to allow for future uses of the PTE flag. Signed-off-by: David Vrabel Acked-by: "H. Peter Anvin"

memory-hotplug: x86_32: suitable memory should go to ZONE_MOVABLE

x86, kaslr: Raise the maximum virtual address to -1 GiB on x86_64

2013-10-13T10:13:13+00:00

On 64-bit, this raises the maximum location to -1 GiB (from -1.5 GiB), the upper limit currently, since the kernel fixmap page mappings need to be moved to use the other 1 GiB (which would be the theoretical limit when building with -mcmodel=kernel).

mm: concentrate modification of totalram_pages into the mm core

2013-07-03T23:07:33+00:00

Concentrate code to modify totalram_pages into the mm core, so the arch memory initialized code doesn't need to take care of it. With these changes applied, only following functions from mm core modify global variable totalram_pages: free_bootmem_late(), free_all_bootmem(), free_all_bootmem_node(), adjust_managed_page_count(). With this patch applied, it will be much more easier for us to keep totalram_pages and zone->managed_pages in consistence. Signed-off-by: Jiang Liu Acked-by: David Howells Cc: "H.

memory-hotplug: introduce new arch_remove_memory() for removing page table

2013-02-24T01:50:12+00:00

For removing memory, we need to remove page tables. But it depends on architecture. So the patch introduce arch_remove_memory() for removing page table. Now it only calls __remove_pages(). Note: __remove_pages() for some archtecuture is not implemented (I don't know how to implement it for s390).
