Changeset a43455a1d572 ("sched/numa: Ensure task_numa_migrate() checks
the preferred node") fixes an issue where workloads would never
converge on a fully loaded (or overloaded) system.
However, it introduces a regression on less than fully loaded systems,
where workloads converge on a few NUMA nodes, instead of properly
staying spread out across the whole system. This leads to a reduction
in available memory bandwidth, and usable CPU cache, with predictable
performance problems.
The root cause appears to be an interaction between the load balancer
and NUMA balancing, where the short term load represented by the load
balancer differs from the long term load the NUMA balancing code would
like to base its decisions on.
Simply reverting a43455a1d572 would re-introduce the non-convergence
of workloads on fully loaded systems, so that is not a good option. As
an aside, the check done before a43455a1d572 only applied to a task's
preferred node, not to other candidate nodes in the system, so the
converge-on-too-few-nodes problem still happens, just to a lesser
degree.
Instead, try to compensate for the impedance mismatch between the load
balancer and NUMA balancing by only ever considering a lesser loaded
node as a destination for NUMA balancing, regardless of whether the
task is trying to move to the preferred node, or to another node.
This patch also addresses the issue that a system with a single
runnable thread would never migrate that thread to near its memory,
introduced by 095bebf61a46 ("sched/numa: Do not move past the balance
point if unbalanced").
A test where the main thread creates a large memory area, and spawns a
worker thread to iterate over the memory (placed on another node by
select_task_rq_fair), after which the main thread goes to sleep and
waits for the worker thread to loop over all the memory now sees the
worker thread migrated to where the memory is, instead of having all
the memory migrated over like before.
Jirka has run a number of performance tests on several systems: single
instance SpecJBB 2005 performance is 7-15% higher on a 4 node system,
with higher gains on systems with more cores per socket.
Multi-instance SpecJBB 2005 (one per node), linpack, and stream see
little or no changes with the revert of 095bebf61a46 and this patch.

unbalanced")
Commit 095bebf61a46 ("sched/numa: Do not move past the balance point
if unbalanced") broke convergence of workloads with just one runnable
thread, by making it impossible for the one runnable thread on the
system to move from one NUMA node to another.
Instead, the thread would remain where it was, and pull all the memory
across to its location, which is much slower than just migrating the
thread to where the memory is.
The next patch has a better fix for the issue that 095bebf61a46 tried
to address.

The optimized task selection logic optimistically selects a new task
to run without first doing a full put_prev_task(). This is so that we
can avoid a put/set on the common ancestors of the old and new task.
Similarly, we should only call check_cfs_rq_runtime() to throttle
eligible groups if they're part of the common ancestry, otherwise it
is possible to end up with no eligible task in the simple task
selection.
Imagine:
/root
/prev /next
/A /B
If our optimistic selection ends up throttling /next, we goto simple
and our put_prev_task() ends up throttling /prev, after which we're
going to bug out in set_next_entity() because there aren't any tasks
left.
Avoid this scenario by only throttling common ancestors.

preempt_schedule_context() is a tracing safe preemption point but it's
only used when CONFIG_CONTEXT_TRACKING=y. Other configs have tracing
recursion issues since commit:
b30f0e3ffedf ("sched/preempt: Optimize preemption operations on __schedule() callers")
introduced function based preemp_count_*() ops.
Lets make it available on all configs and give it a more appropriate
name for its new position.

Since function tracing disables preemption, it needs a safe preemption
point to use when preemption is re-enabled without worrying about tracing
recursion. Ie: to avoid tracing recursion, that preemption point can't
be traced (use of notrace qualifier) and it can't call any traceable
function before that preemption point disables preemption itself, which
disarms the recursion.
preempt_schedule() was fine until commit:
b30f0e3ffedf ("sched/preempt: Optimize preemption operations on __schedule() callers")
because PREEMPT_ACTIVE (which has the property to disable preemption
and this disarm tracing preemption recursion) was set before calling
any further function.
But that commit introduced the use of preempt_count_add/sub() functions
to set PREEMPT_ACTIVE and because these functions are called before
preemption gets a chance to be disabled, we have a tracing recursion.
preempt_schedule_context() is one of the possible preemption functions
used by tracing. Its special purpose is to avoid tracing recursion
against context tracking. Lets enhance this function to become more
generally tracing safe by disabling preemption with raw accessors, such
that no function is called before preemption gets disabled and disarm
the tracing recursion.
This function is going to become the specific tracing-safe preemption
point in further commit.

The lock_class iteration of /proc/lock_stat is not serialized against
the lockdep_free_key_range() call from module unload.
Therefore it can happen that we find a class of which ->name/->key are
no longer valid.
There is a further bug in zap_class() that left ->name dangling. Cure
this. Use RCU_INIT_POINTER() because NULL.
Since lockdep_free_key_range() is rcu_sched serialized, we can read
both ->name and ->key under rcu_read_lock_sched() (preempt-disable)
and be assured that if we observe a !NULL value it stays safe to use
for as long as we hold that lock.
If we observe both NULL, skip the entry.

Andy Shevchenko reported machine freezes when booting latest tip
on 32-bit setups. Problem is, the builtin microcode handling cannot
really work that early, when we haven't even enabled paging.
A proper fix would involve handling that case specially as every
other early 32-bit boot case in the microcode loader and would
require much more involved changes for which it is too late now,
more than a week before the upcoming merge window.
So, disable the builtin microcode loading on 32-bit for now.

This header containing all MSRs and respective bit definitions
got exported to userspace in conjunction with the big UAPI
shuffle.
But, it doesn't belong in the UAPI headers because userspace can
do its own MSR defines and exporting them from the kernel blocks
us from doing cleanups/renames in that header. Which is
ridiculous - it is not kernel's job to export such a header and
keep MSRs list and their names stable.

In talking to Aravind recently about making certain AMD topology
attributes available to the MCE injection module, it seemed like
that CONFIG_X86_HT thing is more or less superfluous. It is
def_bool y, depends on SMP and gets enabled in the majority of
.configs - distro and otherwise - out there.
So let's kill it and make code behind it depend directly on SMP.

Add the necessary changes to do_machine_check() to be able to
process MCEs signaled as local MCEs. Typically, only recoverable
errors (SRAR type) will be Signaled as LMCE. The architecture
does not restrict to only those errors, however.
When errors are signaled as LMCE, there is no need for the MCE
handler to perform rendezvous with other logical processors
unlike earlier processors that would broadcast machine check
errors.

As set_memory_wb() calls free_ram_pages_type(), which then calls
set_page_memtype() with -1, _PGMT_DEFAULT is used for tracking
the WB type. _PGMT_WB is defined but unused. Thus, rename
_PGMT_DEFAULT to _PGMT_WB to clarify the usage, and release the
slot used by _PGMT_WB.
Furthermore, change free_ram_pages_type() to call
set_page_memtype() with _PGMT_WB, and get_page_memtype() to
return _PAGE_CACHE_MODE_WB for _PGMT_WB.
Then, define _PGMT_WT in the freed slot. This allows
set_page_memtype() to track the WT type.

Add ioremap_wt() to all arch-specific asm/io.h headers which
define ioremap_wc() locally. These headers do not include
<asm-generic/iomap.h>. Some of them include <asm-generic/io.h>,
but ioremap_wt() is defined for consistency since they define
all ioremap_xxx locally.
In all architectures without Write-Through support, ioremap_wt()
is defined indentical to ioremap_nocache().
frv and m68k already have ioremap_writethrough(). On those we
add ioremap_wt() indetical to ioremap_writethrough() and defines
ARCH_HAS_IOREMAP_WT in both architectures.
The ioremap_wt() interface is exported to drivers.

Add ioremap_wt() for creating Write-Through mappings on x86. It
follows the same model as ioremap_wc() for multi-arch support.
Define ARCH_HAS_IOREMAP_WT in the x86 version of io.h to
indicate that ioremap_wt() is implemented on x86.
Also update the PAT documentation file to cover ioremap_wt().

__ioremap_caller() calls reserve_memtype() and the passed down
@new_pcm contains the actual page cache type it reserved in the
success case.
is_new_memtype_allowed() verifies if converting to the new page
cache type is allowed when @pcm (the requested type) is
different from @new_pcm.
When WT is requested, the caller expects that writes are ordered
and uncached. Therefore, enhance is_new_memtype_allowed() to
disallow the following cases:
- If the request is WT, mapping type cannot be WB
- If the request is WT, mapping type cannot be WC

Assign Write-Through type to the PA7 slot in the PAT MSR when
the processor is not affected by PAT errata. The PA7 slot is
chosen to improve robustness in the presence of errata that
might cause the high PAT bit to be ignored. This way a buggy PA7
slot access will hit the PA3 slot, which is UC, so at worst we
lose performance without causing a correctness issue.
The following Intel processors are affected by the PAT errata.
Errata CPUID
----------------------------------------------------
Pentium 2, A52 family 0x6, model 0x5
Pentium 3, E27 family 0x6, model 0x7, 0x8
Pentium 3 Xenon, G26 family 0x6, model 0x7, 0x8, 0xa
Pentium M, Y26 family 0x6, model 0x9
Pentium M 90nm, X9 family 0x6, model 0xd
Pentium 4, N46 family 0xf, model 0x0
Instead of making sharp boundary checks, we remain conservative
and exclude all Pentium 2, 3, M and 4 family processors. For
those, _PAGE_CACHE_MODE_WT is redirected to UC- per the default
setup in __cachemode2pte_tbl[].

Commit 334c86c494b9 ("MIPS: IRQ: Add stackoverflow detection") added
kernel stack overflow detection, however it only enabled it conditional
upon the preprocessor definition DEBUG_STACKOVERFLOW, which is never
actually defined. The Kconfig option is called DEBUG_STACKOVERFLOW,
which manifests to the preprocessor as CONFIG_DEBUG_STACKOVERFLOW, so
switch it to using that definition instead.

Anjali provides three fixes, first to resolve a Tx queue hang if mixed
size frags are passed to the driver while using TSO. There was a corner
case where we needed to linearize but we were not. Next fixes a bug in
the default configuration which prevented a software bridge loaded on the
PF interface from working correctly because broadcast packets are
incorrectly looped back. Lastly fixes an NPAR bug when SRIOV is enabled,
where we need to be in VEB mode, not VEPA mode at probe.

I've had reports of UEFI platforms failing iSCSI boot in various
configurations, that ended up being caused by network initialization
scripts getting tripped up by unexpected null addresses (0.0.0.0) being
reported for gateways, dhcp servers, and dns servers.
The tianocore EDK2 iSCSI driver generates an iBFT table that always uses
IPv4-mapped IPv6 addresses for the NIC structure fields. This results
in values that are "not present or not specified" being reported as
::ffff:0.0.0.0 rather than all zeros as specified.
The iscsi_ibft module filters unspecified fields from the iBFT from
sysfs, preventing userspace from using invalid values and making it easy
to check for the presence of a value. This currently fails in regard to
these mapped null addresses.
In order to remain consistent with how the iBFT information is exposed,
we should accommodate the behavior of the tianocore iSCSI driver as it's
already in the wild in a large number of servers.
Tested under qemu using an OVMF build of tianocore EDK2.

The map_single() function is not defined as static, even though it
doesn't seem to be used anywhere else in the kernel. Make it static to
avoid namespace pollution since this is a rather generic symbol.

Writing to a file is supposed to return the number of bytes written.
Returning zero unfortunately causes bash to constantly spin trying
to write to the sysfs file, to such an extent that even ^c and ^z
have no effect. The only way out of that is to kill the shell and
log back in. This isn't nice behaviour.
Fix it by returning the number of characters written to sysfs files.
