x86: Fix parse_reservetop() build failure on certain configs
Commit e67a807 ("x86: Fix 'reservetop=' functionality") added a
fixup_early_ioremap() call to parse_reservetop() and declared it
in io.h.
But asm/io.h was only included indirectly - and on some configs
not at all, causing a build failure on those configs.

x86: Fix 'reservetop=' functionality
When specifying the 'reservetop=0xbadc0de' kernel parameter,
the kernel will stop booting due to a early_ioremap bug that
relates to commit 8827247ff.
The root cause of boot failure problem is the value of
'slot_virt[i]' was initialized in setup_arch->early_ioremap_init().
But later in setup_arch, the function 'parse_early_param' will
modify 'FIXADDR_TOP' when 'reservetop=0xbadc0de' being specified.
The simplest fix might be use __fix_to_virt(idx0) to get updated
value of 'FIXADDR_TOP' in '__early_ioremap' instead of reference
old value from slot_virt[slot] directly.
Changelog since v0:
-v1: When reservetop being handled then FIXADDR_TOP get
adjusted, Hence check prev_map then re-initialize slot_virt and
PMD based on new FIXADDR_TOP.
-v2: place fixup_early_ioremap hence call early_ioremap_init in
reserve_top_address to re-initialize slot_virt and
corresponding PMD when parse_reservertop
-v3: move fixup_early_ioremap out of reserve_top_address to make
sure other clients of reserve_top_address like xen/lguest won't

include cleanup: Update gfp.h and slab.h includes to prepare for breaking implicit slab.h inclusion from percpu.h
percpu.h is included by sched.h and module.h and thus ends up being
included when building most .c files. percpu.h includes slab.h which
in turn includes gfp.h making everything defined by the two files
universally available and complicating inclusion dependencies.
percpu.h -> slab.h dependency is about to be removed. Prepare for
this change by updating users of gfp and slab facilities include those
headers directly instead of assuming availability. As this conversion
needs to touch large number of source files, the following script is
used as the basis of conversion.
http://userweb.kernel.org/~tj/misc/slabh-sweep.py
The script does the followings.
* Scan files for gfp and slab usages and update includes such that
only the necessary includes are there. ie. if only gfp is used,
gfp.h, if slab is used, slab.h.
* When the script inserts a new include, it looks at the include
blocks and try to put the new include such that its order conforms
to its surrounding. It's put in the include block which contains
core kernel includes, in the same order that the rest are ordered -
alphabetical, Christmas tree, rev-Xmas-tree or at the end if there
doesn't seem to be any matching order.
* If the script can't find a place to put a new include (mostly
because the file doesn't have fitting include block), it prints out
an error message indicating which .h file needs to be added to the
file.
The conversion was done in the following steps.
1. The initial automatic conversion of all .c files updated slightly
over 4000 files, deleting around 700 includes and adding ~480 gfp.h
and ~3000 slab.h inclusions. The script emitted errors for ~400
files.
2. Each error was manually checked. Some didn't need the inclusion,
some needed manual addition while adding it to implementation .h or
embedding .c file was more appropriate for others. This step added
inclusions to around 150 files.
3. The script was run again and the output was compared to the edits
from #2 to make sure no file was left behind.
4. Several build tests were done and a couple of problems were fixed.
e.g. lib/decompress_*.c used malloc/free() wrappers around slab
APIs requiring slab.h to be added manually.
5. The script was run on all .h files but without automatically
editing them as sprinkling gfp.h and slab.h inclusions around .h
files could easily lead to inclusion dependency hell. Most gfp.h
inclusion directives were ignored as stuff from gfp.h was usually
wildly available and often used in preprocessor macros. Each
slab.h inclusion directive was examined and added manually as
necessary.
6. percpu.h was updated not to include slab.h.
7. Build test were done on the following configurations and failures
were fixed. CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL was turned off for all tests (as my
distributed build env didn't work with gcov compiles) and a few
more options had to be turned off depending on archs to make things
build (like ipr on powerpc/64 which failed due to missing writeq).
* x86 and x86_64 UP and SMP allmodconfig and a custom test config.
* powerpc and powerpc64 SMP allmodconfig
* sparc and sparc64 SMP allmodconfig
* ia64 SMP allmodconfig
* s390 SMP allmodconfig
* alpha SMP allmodconfig
* um on x86_64 SMP allmodconfig
8. percpu.h modifications were reverted so that it could be applied as
a separate patch and serve as bisection point.
Given the fact that I had only a couple of failures from tests on step
6, I'm fairly confident about the coverage of this conversion patch.
If there is a breakage, it's likely to be something in one of the arch
headers which should be easily discoverable easily on most builds of
the specific arch.

i386: vmalloc size fix
Booting kernel with vmalloc=[any size<=16m] will oops on my pc (i386/1G memory).
BUG_ON in arch/x86/mm/init_32.c triggered:
BUG_ON((unsigned long)high_memory > VMALLOC_START);
It's due to the vm area hole.
In include/asm-x86/pgtable_32.h:
#define VMALLOC_OFFSET (8 * 1024 * 1024)
#define VMALLOC_START (((unsigned long)high_memory + 2 * VMALLOC_OFFSET - 1) \
& ~(VMALLOC_OFFSET - 1))
There's several related point:
1. MAXMEM :
(-__PAGE_OFFSET - __VMALLOC_RESERVE).
The space after VMALLOC_END is included as well, I set it to
(VMALLOC_END - PAGE_OFFSET - __VMALLOC_RESERVE)
2. VMALLOC_OFFSET is not considered in __VMALLOC_RESERVE
fixed by adding VMALLOC_OFFSET to it.
3. VMALLOC_START :
(((unsigned long)high_memory + 2 * VMALLOC_OFFSET - 1) & ~(VMALLOC_OFFSET - 1))
So it's not always 8M, bigger than 8M possible.
I set it to ((unsigned long)high_memory + VMALLOC_OFFSET)
4. the VMALLOC_RESERVE is an unused macro, so remove it here.

x86: fix PAE pmd_bad bootup warning
Fix warning from pmd_bad() at bootup on a HIGHMEM64G HIGHPTE x86_32.
That came from 9fc34113f6880b215cbea4e7017fc818700384c2 x86: debug pmd_bad();
but we understand now that the typecasting was wrong for PAE in the previous
version: pagetable pages above 4GB looked bad and stopped Arjan from booting.
And revert that cded932b75ab0a5f9181ee3da34a0a488d1a14fd x86: fix pmd_bad
and pud_bad to support huge pages. It was the wrong way round: we shouldn't
weaken every pmd_bad and pud_bad check to let huge pages slip through - in
part they check that we _don't_ have a huge page where it's not expected.
Put the x86 pmd_bad() and pud_bad() definitions back to what they have long
been: they can be improved (x86_32 should use PTE_MASK, to stop PAE thinking
junk in the upper word is good; and x86_64 should follow x86_32's stricter
comparison, to stop thinking any subset of required bits is good); but that
should be a later patch.
Fix Hans' good observation that follow_page() will never find pmd_huge()
because that would have already failed the pmd_bad test: test pmd_huge in
between the pmd_none and pmd_bad tests. Tighten x86's pmd_huge() check?
No, once it's a hugepage entry, it can get quite far from a good pmd: for
example, PROT_NONE leaves it with only ACCESSED of the KERN_PGTABLE bits.
However... though follow_page() contains this and another test for huge
pages, so it's nice to keep it working on them, where does it actually get
called on a huge page? get_user_pages() checks is_vm_hugetlb_page(vma) to
to call alternative hugetlb processing, as does unmap_vmas() and others.

x86: remove quicklists
quicklists cause a serious memory leak on 32-bit x86,
as documented at:
http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=9991
the reason is that the quicklist pool is a special-purpose
cache that grows out of proportion. It is not accounted for
anywhere and users have no way to even realize that it's
the quicklists that are causing RAM usage spikes. It was
supposed to be a relatively small pool, but as demonstrated
by KOSAKI Motohiro, they can grow as large as:
Quicklists: 1194304 kB
given how much trouble this code has caused historically,
and given that Andrew objected to its introduction on x86
(years ago), the best option at this point is to remove them.

be implemented in a more generic way (possibly within the page

CONFIG_HIGHPTE vs. sub-page page tables.
Background: I've implemented 1K/2K page tables for s390. These sub-page
page tables are required to properly support the s390 virtualization
instruction with KVM. The SIE instruction requires that the page tables
have 256 page table entries (pte) followed by 256 page status table entries
(pgste). The pgstes are only required if the process is using the SIE
instruction. The pgstes are updated by the hardware and by the hypervisor
for a number of reasons, one of them is dirty and reference bit tracking.
To avoid wasting memory the standard pte table allocation should return
1K/2K (31/64 bit) and 2K/4K if the process is using SIE.
Problem: Page size on s390 is 4K, page table size is 1K or 2K. That means
the s390 version for pte_alloc_one cannot return a pointer to a struct
page. Trouble is that with the CONFIG_HIGHPTE feature on x86 pte_alloc_one
cannot return a pointer to a pte either, since that would require more than
32 bit for the return value of pte_alloc_one (and the pte * would not be
accessible since its not kmapped).
Solution: The only solution I found to this dilemma is a new typedef: a
pgtable_t. For s390 pgtable_t will be a (pte *) - to be introduced with a
later patch. For everybody else it will be a (struct page *). The
additional problem with the initialization of the ptl lock and the
NR_PAGETABLE accounting is solved with a constructor pgtable_page_ctor and
a destructor pgtable_page_dtor. The page table allocation and free
functions need to call these two whenever a page table page is allocated or
freed. pmd_populate will get a pgtable_t instead of a struct page pointer.
To get the pgtable_t back from a pmd entry that has been installed with
pmd_populate a new function pmd_pgtable is added. It replaces the pmd_page
call in free_pte_range and apply_to_pte_range.

x86: use the same pgd_list for PAE and 64-bit
Use a standard list threaded through page->lru for maintaining the pgd
list on PAE. This is the same as 64-bit, and seems saner than using a
non-standard list via page->index.

x86: don't special-case pmd allocations as much
In x86 PAE mode, stop treating pmds as a special case. Previously
they were always allocated and freed with the pgd. The modifies the
code to be the same as 64-bit mode, where they are allocated on
demand.
This is a step on the way to unifying 32/64-bit pagetable allocation
as much as possible.
There is a complicating wart, however. When you install a new
reference to a pmd in the pgd, the processor isn't guaranteed to see
it unless you reload cr3. Since reloading cr3 also has the
side-effect of flushing the tlb, this is an expense that we want to
avoid whereever possible.
This patch simply avoids reloading cr3 unless the update is to the
current pagetable. Later patches will optimise this further.

x86: allocate and initialize unshared pmds
If SHARED_KERNEL_PMD is false, then we need to allocate and initialize
the kernel pmd. We can easily piggy-back this onto the existing pmd
prepopulation code.

x86: preallocate pmds at pgd creation time
In PAE mode, an update to the pgd requires a cr3 reload to make sure
the processor notices the changes. Since this also has the
side-effect of flushing the tlb, its an expensive operation which we
want to avoid where possible.
This patch mitigates the cost of installing the initial set of pmds on
process creation by preallocating them when the pgd is allocated.
This avoids up to three tlb flushes during exec, as it creates the new
process address space while the pagetable is in active use.
The pmds will be freed as part of the normal pagetable teardown in
free_pgtables, which is called in munmap and process exit. However,
free_pgtables will only free parts of the pagetable which actually
contain mappings, so stray pmds may still be attached to the pgd at
pgd_free time. We must mop them up to prevent a memory leak.

x86: stop nmi softlockup warnings in show_mem()
When dumping memory via sysrq-m it is possible to take a bogus NMI
watchdog or softlockup watchdog because the dump can take a long time on
big memory systems.
Occasionally tickle the watchdog when doing the dump.

i386: avoid temporarily inconsistent pte-s
One more of these issues (which were considered fixed a few releases
back): other than on x86-64, i386 allows set_fixmap() to replace
already present mappings. Consequently, on PAE, care must be taken to
not update the high half of a pte while the low half is still holding
the old value.

Slab API: remove useless ctor parameter and reorder parameters
Slab constructors currently have a flags parameter that is never used. And
the order of the arguments is opposite to other slab functions. The object
pointer is placed before the kmem_cache pointer.
Convert
ctor(void *object, struct kmem_cache *s, unsigned long flags)
to
ctor(struct kmem_cache *s, void *object)
throughout the kernel
