__pcpu_ptr_to_addr() can be overridden by the architecture and might not
behave well if passed a NULL pointer. So avoid calling it until we have

o kdump functionality reserves a per cpu area at boot time and exports the
physical address of that area to user space through sys interface. This
area stores some dump related information like cpu register states etc
at the time of crash.
o We were assuming that per cpu area always come from linearly mapped meory
region and using __pa() to determine physical address.
With percpu_alloc=page, per cpu area can come from vmalloc region also and
__pa() breaks.
o This patch implments a new function to convert per cpu address to
physical address.
Before the patch, crash_notes addresses looked as follows.
cpu0 60fffff49800
cpu1 60fffff60800
cpu2 60fffff77800
These are bogus phsyical addresses.
After the patch, address are following.
cpu0 13eb44000
cpu1 13eb43000

pcpu_extend_area_map() had the following two bugs.
* It should return 1 if pcpu_lock was dropped and reacquired but it
returned 0. This could lead to oops if free_percpu() races with
area map extension.
* pcpu_mem_free() was called under pcpu_lock. pcpu_mem_free() might
end up calling vfree() which isn't IRQ safe. This could lead to
deadlock through lock order inversion via IRQ.
In addition, Linus pointed out that the temporary lock dropping and
subtle three-way return value of pcpu_extend_area_map() was very ugly
and suggested to split the function into two - pcpu_need_to_extend()
and pcpu_extend_area_map().
This patch restructures pcpu_extend_area_map() as suggested and fixes
the two bugs.

pcpu_alloc() and pcpu_extend_area_map() perform a series of
spin_lock_irq()/spin_unlock_irq() calls, which make them unsafe
with respect to being called from contexts which have IRQs off.
This patch converts the code to perform save/restore of flags instead,
making pcpu_alloc() (or __alloc_percpu() respectively) to be called
from early kernel startup stage, where IRQs are off.
This is needed for proper initialization of per-cpu rq_weight data from
sched_init().

The parameters to pcpu_setup_first_chunk() come from different sources
depending on architecture and can be quite complex. The function runs
various sanity checks on the parameters and triggers BUG() if
something isn't right. However, this is very early during the boot
and not reporting exactly what the problem is makes debugging even
harder.
Add PCPU_SETUP_BUG() macro which prints out enough information about
the parameters. As the macro still puts separate BUG() for each
check, it won't lose any information even on the situations where only
the program counter can be retrieved.
While at it, also bump pcpu_dump_alloc_info() message to KERN_INFO so
that it's visible on the console if boot fails to complete.

Embedding first chunk allocator maintains the distances between units
in the vmalloc area and thus needs vmalloc space to be larger than the
maximum distances between units; otherwise, it wouldn't be able to
create any dynamic chunks. This patch makes the embedding first chunk
allocator check vmalloc space size and if the maximum distance between
units is larger than 75% of it, print warning and, if page mapping
allocator is available, fail initialization so that the system falls
back onto it.
This should work around percpu allocation failure problems on certain
sparc64 configurations where distances between NUMA nodes are larger
than the vmalloc area and makes percpu allocator more robust for
future configurations.

Now that percpu core can handle very sparse units, given that vmalloc
space is large enough, embedding first chunk allocator can use any
memory to build the first chunk. This patch teaches
pcpu_embed_first_chunk() about distances between cpus and to use
alloc/free callbacks to allocate node specific areas for each group
and use them for the first chunk.
This brings the benefits of embedding allocator to NUMA configurations
- no extra TLB pressure with the flexibility of unified dynamic
allocator and no need to restructure arch code to build memory layout
suitable for percpu. With units put into atom_size aligned groups
according to cpu distances, using large page for dynamic chunks is
also easily possible with falling back to reuglar pages if large
allocation fails.
Embedding allocator users are converted to specify NULL
cpu_distance_fn, so this patch doesn't cause any visible behavior
difference. Following patches will convert them.

The only thing percpu allocator wants to know about a vmalloc area is
the base address. Instead of requiring chunk->vm, add
chunk->base_addr which contains the necessary value. This simplifies

Currently units are mapped sequentially into address space. This
patch adds pcpu_unit_offsets[] which allows units to be mapped to
arbitrary offsets from the chunk base address. This is necessary to
allow sparse embedding which might would need to allocate address
ranges and memory areas which aren't aligned to unit size but
allocation atom size (page or large page size). This also simplifies
things a bit by removing the need to calculate offset from unit
number.
With this change, there's no need for the arch code to know
pcpu_unit_size. Update pcpu_setup_first_chunk() and first chunk
allocators to return regular 0 or -errno return code instead of unit
size or -errno.

Till now, non-linear cpu->unit map was expressed using an integer
array which maps each cpu to a unit and used only by lpage allocator.
Although how many units have been placed in a single contiguos area
(group) is known while building unit_map, the information is lost when
the result is recorded into the unit_map array. For lpage allocator,
as all allocations are done by lpages and whether two adjacent lpages
are in the same group or not is irrelevant, this didn't cause any
problem. Non-linear cpu->unit mapping will be used for sparse
embedding and this grouping information is necessary for that.
This patch introduces pcpu_alloc_info which contains all the
information necessary for initializing percpu allocator.
pcpu_alloc_info contains array of pcpu_group_info which describes how
units are grouped and mapped to cpus. pcpu_group_info also has
base_offset field to specify its offset from the chunk's base address.
pcpu_build_alloc_info() initializes this field as if all groups are
allocated back-to-back as is currently done but this will be used to
sparsely place groups.
pcpu_alloc_info is a rather complex data structure which contains a
flexible array which in turn points to nested cpu_map arrays.
* pcpu_alloc_alloc_info() and pcpu_free_alloc_info() are provided to
help dealing with pcpu_alloc_info.
* pcpu_lpage_build_unit_map() is updated to build pcpu_alloc_info,
generalized and renamed to pcpu_build_alloc_info().
@cpu_distance_fn may be NULL indicating that all cpus are of
LOCAL_DISTANCE.
* pcpul_lpage_dump_cfg() is updated to process pcpu_alloc_info,
generalized and renamed to pcpu_dump_alloc_info(). It now also
prints which group each alloc unit belongs to.
* pcpu_setup_first_chunk() now takes pcpu_alloc_info instead of the
separate parameters. All first chunk allocators are updated to use
pcpu_build_alloc_info() to build alloc_info and call
pcpu_setup_first_chunk() with it. This has the side effect of
packing units for sparse possible cpus. ie. if cpus 0, 2 and 4 are
possible, they'll be assigned unit 0, 1 and 2 instead of 0, 2 and 4.
* x86 setup_pcpu_lpage() is updated to deal with alloc_info.
* sparc64 setup_per_cpu_areas() is updated to build alloc_info.
Although the changes made by this patch are pretty pervasive, it
doesn't cause any behavior difference other than packing of sparse
cpus. It mostly changes how information is passed among
initialization functions and makes room for more flexibility.

Large page first chunk allocator is primarily used for NUMA machines;
however, its NUMA handling is extremely simplistic. Regardless of
their proximity, each cpu is put into separate large page just to
return most of the allocated space back wasting large amount of
vmalloc space and increasing cache footprint.
This patch teachs NUMA details to large page allocator. Given
processor proximity information, pcpu_lpage_build_unit_map() will find
fitting cpu -> unit mapping in which cpus in LOCAL_DISTANCE share the
same large page and not too much virtual address space is wasted.
This greatly reduces the unit and thus chunk size and wastes much less
address space for the first chunk. For example, on 4/4 NUMA machine,
the original code occupied 16MB of virtual space for the first chunk
while the new code only uses 4MB - one 2MB page for each node.

Currently cpu and unit are always identity mapped. To allow more
efficient large page support on NUMA and lazy allocation for possible
but offline cpus, cpu -> unit mapping needs to be non-linear and/or
sparse. This can be easily implemented by adding a cpu -> unit
mapping array and using it whenever looking up the matching unit for a
cpu.
The only unusal conversion is in pcpu_chunk_addr_search(). The passed
in address is unit0 based and unit0 might not be in use so it needs to
be converted to address of an in-use unit. This is easily done by
adding the unit offset for the current processor.

percpu core doesn't need to tack all the allocated pages. It needs to
know whether certain pages are populated and a way to reverse map
address to page when freeing. This patch drops pcpu_chunk->page[] and
use populated bitmap and vmalloc_to_page() lookup instead. Using
vmalloc_to_page() exclusively is also possible but complicates first
chunk handling, inflates cache footprint and prevents non-standard
memory allocation for percpu memory.
pcpu_chunk->page[] was used to track each page's allocation and
allowed asymmetric population which happens during failure path;
however, with single bitmap for all units, this is no longer possible.
Bite the bullet and rewrite (de)populate functions so that things are
done in clearly separated steps such that asymmetric population
doesn't happen. This makes the (de)population process much more
modular and will also ease implementing non-standard memory usage in
the future (e.g. large pages).
This makes @get_page_fn parameter to pcpu_setup_first_chunk()
unnecessary. The parameter is dropped and all first chunk helpers are
updated accordingly. Please note that despite the volume most changes
to first chunk helpers are symbol renames for variables which don't
need to be referenced outside of the helper anymore.
This change reduces memory usage and cache footprint of pcpu_chunk.
Now only #unit_pages bits are necessary per chunk.

At first, percpu first chunk was always setup page-by-page by the
generic code. To add other allocators, different parts of the generic
initialization was made optional. Now we have three allocators -
embed, remap and 4k. embed and remap fully handle allocation and
mapping of the first chunk while 4k still depends on generic code for
those. This makes the generic alloc/map paths specifci to 4k and
makes the code unnecessary complicated with optional generic
behaviors.
This patch makes the 4k allocator to allocate and map memory directly
instead of depending on the generic code. The only outside visible
change is that now dynamic area in the first chunk is allocated
up-front instead of on-demand. This doesn't make any meaningful
difference as the area is minimal (usually less than a page, just
enough to fill the alignment) on 4k allocator. Plus, dynamic area in
the first chunk usually gets fully used anyway.
This will allow simplification of pcpu_setpu_first_chunk() and removal
of chunk->page array.

The @addr passed into pcpu_chunk_addr_search() is unit0 based address
and thus should be matched inside unit0 area. Currently, when it uses
chunk size when determining whether the address falls in the first
chunk. Addresses in unitN where N>0 shouldn't be passed in anyway, so
this doesn't cause any malfunction but fix it for consistency.

This patch makes most !CONFIG_HAVE_SETUP_PER_CPU_AREA archs use
dynamic percpu allocator. The first chunk is allocated using
embedding helper and 8k is reserved for modules. This ensures that
the new allocator behaves almost identically to the original allocator
as long as static percpu variables are concerned, so it shouldn't
introduce much breakage.
s390 and alpha use custom SHIFT_PERCPU_PTR() to work around addressing
range limit the addressing model imposes. Unfortunately, this breaks
if the address is specified using a variable, so for now, the two
archs aren't converted.
The following architectures are affected by this change.
* sh
* arm
* cris
* mips
* sparc(32)
* blackfin
* avr32
* parisc (broken, under investigation)
* m32r
* powerpc(32)
As this change makes the dynamic allocator the default one,
CONFIG_HAVE_DYNAMIC_PER_CPU_AREA is replaced with its invert -
CONFIG_HAVE_LEGACY_PER_CPU_AREA, which is added to yet-to-be converted
archs. These archs implement their own setup_per_cpu_areas() and the
conversion is not trivial.
* powerpc(64)
* sparc(64)
* ia64
* alpha
* s390
Boot and batch alloc/free tests on x86_32 with debug code (x86_32
doesn't use default first chunk initialization). Compile tested on
sparc(32), powerpc(32), arm and alpha.
Kyle McMartin reported that this change breaks parisc. The problem is
still under investigation and he is okay with pushing this patch
forward and fixing parisc later.

According to Andi, it isn't clear whether lpage allocator is worth the
trouble as there are many processors where PMD TLB is far scarcer than
PTE TLB. The advantage or disadvantage probably depends on the actual
size of percpu area and specific processor. As performance
degradation due to TLB pressure tends to be highly workload specific
and subtle, it is difficult to decide which way to go without more
data.
This patch implements percpu_alloc kernel parameter to allow selecting
which first chunk allocator to use to ease debugging and testing.
While at it, make sure all the failure paths report why something
failed to help determining why certain allocator isn't working. Also,
kill the "Great future plan" comment which had already been realized
quite some time ago.

In pcpu_unmap(), flushing virtual cache on vunmap can't be delayed as
the page is going to be returned to the page allocator. Only TLB
flushing can be put off such that vmalloc code can handle it lazily.
Fix it.

Impact: use page->index for addr to chunk mapping instead of dedicated rbtree
The rbtree is used to determine the chunk from the virtual address.
However, we can already determine the page struct from a virtual
address and there are several unused fields in page struct used by
vmalloc. Use the index field to store a pointer to the chunk. Then
there is no need anymore for an rbtree.
tj: * s/(set|get)_chunk/pcpu_\1_page_chunk/
* Drop inline from the above two functions and moved them upwards
so that they are with other simple helpers.
* Initial pages might not (actually most of the time don't) live
in the vmalloc area. With the previous patch to manually
reverse-map both first chunks, this is no longer an issue.
Removed pcpu_set_chunk() call on initial pages.

Impact: both first chunks don't use rbtree, no functional change
There can be two first chunks - reserved and dynamic with the former
one being optional. Dynamic first chunk was linked on reverse-mapping
rbtree while the reserved one was mapped manually using the start
address and reserved offset limit.
This patch makes both first chunks to be looked up manually without
using the rbtree. This is to help getting rid of the rbtree.

Impact: code reorganization
Separate out embedding first chunk setup helper from x86 embedding
first chunk allocator and put it in mm/percpu.c. This will be used by
the default percpu first chunk allocator and possibly by other archs.
