4f035ad67f rbtree: low level optimizations in rb_erase()
Various minor optimizations in rb_erase():
- Avoid multiple loading of node->__rb_parent_color when computing parent
  and color information (possibly not in close sequence, as there might
  be further branches in the algorithm)
- In the 1-child subcase of case 1, copy the __rb_parent_color field from
  the erased node to the child instead of recomputing it from the desired
  parent and color
- When searching for the erased node's successor, differentiate between
  cases 2 and 3 based on whether any left links were followed. This avoids
  a condition later down.
- In case 3, keep a pointer to the erased node's right child so we don't
  have to refetch it later to adjust its parent.
- In the no-childs subcase of cases 2 and 3, place the rebalance assigment
  last so that the compiler can remove the following if(rebalance) test.

Also, added some comments to illustrate cases 2 and 3.

46b6135a74 rbtree: handle 1-child recoloring in rb_erase() instead of rb_erase_color()
An interesting observation for rb_erase() is that when a node has
exactly one child, the node must be black and the child must be red.
An interesting consequence is that removing such a node can be done by
simply replacing it with its child and making the child black,
which we can do efficiently in rb_erase(). __rb_erase_color() then
only needs to handle the no-childs case and can be modified accordingly.

59633abf34 rbtree: optimize fetching of sibling node
When looking to fetch a node's sibling, we went through a sequence of:
- check if node is the parent's left child
- if it is, then fetch the parent's right child

This can be replaced with:
- fetch the parent's right child as an assumed sibling
- check that node is NOT the fetched child

This avoids fetching the parent's left child when node is actually
that child. Saves a bit on code size, though it doesn't seem to make
a large difference in speed.

6280d2356f rbtree: low level optimizations in __rb_erase_color()
In __rb_erase_color(), we often already have pointers to the nodes being
rotated and/or know what their colors must be, so we can generate more
efficient code than the generic __rb_rotate_left() and __rb_rotate_right()
functions.

Also when the current node is red or when flipping the sibling's color,
the parent is already known so we can use the more efficient
rb_set_parent_color() function to set the desired color.

e125d1471a rbtree: optimize case selection logic in __rb_erase_color()
In __rb_erase_color(), we have to select one of 3 cases depending on the
color on the 'other' node children.  If both children are black, we flip a
few node colors and iterate.  Otherwise, we do either one or two tree
rotations, depending on the color of the 'other' child opposite to 'node',
and then we are done.

The corresponding logic had duplicate checks for the color of the 'other'
child opposite to 'node'.  It was checking it first to determine if both
children are black, and then to determine how many tree rotations are
required.  Rearrange the logic to avoid that extra check.

d6ff127392 rbtree: adjust node color in __rb_erase_color() only when necessary
In __rb_erase_color(), we were always setting a node to black after
exiting the main loop.  And in one case, after fixing up the tree to
satisfy all rbtree invariants, we were setting the current node to root
just to guarantee a loop exit, at which point the root would be set to
black.  However this is not necessary, as the root of an rbtree is already
known to be black.  The only case where the color flip is required is when
we exit the loop due to the current node being red, and it's easiest to
just do the flip at that point instead of doing it after the loop.

5bc9188aa2 rbtree: low level optimizations in rb_insert_color()
- Use the newly introduced rb_set_parent_color() function to flip the color
  of nodes whose parent is already known.
- Optimize rb_parent() when the node is known to be red - there is no need
  to mask out the color in that case.
- Flipping gparent's color to red requires us to fetch its rb_parent_color
  field, so we can reuse it as the parent value for the next loop iteration.
- Do not use __rb_rotate_left() and __rb_rotate_right() to handle tree
  rotations: we already have pointers to all relevant nodes, and know their
  colors (either because we want to adjust it, or because we've tested it,
  or we can deduce it as black due to the node proximity to a known red node).
  So we can generate more efficient code by making use of the node pointers
  we already have, and setting both the parent and color attributes for
  nodes all at once. Also in Case 2, some node attributes don't have to
  be set because we know another tree rotation (Case 3) will always follow
  and override them.

6d58452dc0 rbtree: adjust root color in rb_insert_color() only when necessary
The root node of an rbtree must always be black.  However,
rb_insert_color() only needs to maintain this invariant when it has been
broken - that is, when it exits the loop due to the current (red) node
being the root.  In all other cases (exiting after tree rotations, or
exiting due to an existing black parent) the invariant is already
satisfied, so there is no need to adjust the root node color.

1f0528653e rbtree: break out of rb_insert_color loop after tree rotation
It is a well known property of rbtrees that insertion never requires more
than two tree rotations.  In our implementation, after one loop iteration
identified one or two necessary tree rotations, we would iterate and look
for more.  However at that point the node's parent would always be black,
which would cause us to exit the loop.

We can make the code flow more obvious by just adding a break statement
after the tree rotations, where we know we are done.  Additionally, in the
cases where two tree rotations are necessary, we don't have to update the
'node' pointer as it wouldn't be used until the next loop iteration, which
we now avoid due to this break statement.

- never two consecutive red nodes on any path,
- all paths to leaf nodes have the same number of black nodes,
- root node is black

ea5272f5c9 rbtree: fix incorrect rbtree node insertion in fs/proc/proc_sysctl.c
The recently added code to use rbtrees in sysctl did not follow the proper
rbtree interface on insertion - it was calling rb_link_node() which
inserts a new node into the binary tree, but missed the call to
rb_insert_color() which properly balances the rbtree and establishes all
expected rbtree invariants.

I found out about this only because faulty commit also used
rb_init_node(), which I am removing within this patchset.  But I think
it's an easy mistake to make, and it makes me wonder if we should change
the rbtree API so that insertions would be done with a single rb_insert()
call (even if its implementation could still inline the rb_link_node()
part and call a private __rb_insert_color function to do the rebalancing).

4c199a93a2 rbtree: empty nodes have no color
Empty nodes have no color.  We can make use of this property to simplify
the code emitted by the RB_EMPTY_NODE and RB_CLEAR_NODE macros.  Also,
we can get rid of the rb_init_node function which had been introduced by
commit 88d19cf379 ("timers: Add rb_init_node() to allow for stack
allocated rb nodes") to avoid some issue with the empty node's color not
being initialized.

I'm not sure what the RB_EMPTY_NODE checks in rb_prev() / rb_next() are
doing there, though.  axboe introduced them in commit 10fd48f237
("rbtree: fixed reversed RB_EMPTY_NODE and rb_next/prev").  The way I
see it, the 'empty node' abstraction is only used by rbtree users to
flag nodes that they haven't inserted in any rbtree, so asking the
predecessor or successor of such nodes doesn't make any sense.

One final rb_init_node() caller was recently added in sysctl code to
implement faster sysctl name lookups.  This code doesn't make use of
RB_EMPTY_NODE at all, and from what I could see it only called
rb_init_node() under the mistaken assumption that such initialization was
required before node insertion.

1457d28778 rbtree: reference Documentation/rbtree.txt for usage instructions
I recently started looking at the rbtree code (with an eye towards
improving the augmented rbtree support, but I haven't gotten there yet).
I noticed a lot of possible speed improvements, which I am now proposing
in this patch set.

Patches 1-4 are preparatory: remove internal functions from rbtree.h so
that users won't be tempted to use them instead of the documented APIs,
clean up some incorrect usages I've noticed (in particular, with the
recently added fs/proc/proc_sysctl.c rbtree usage), reference the
documentation so that people have one less excuse to miss it, etc.

Patch 5 is a small module I wrote to check the rbtree performance.  It
creates 100 nodes with random keys and repeatedly inserts and erases them
from an rbtree.  Additionally, it has code to check for rbtree invariants
after each insert or erase operation.

Patches 6-12 is where the rbtree optimizations are done, and they touch
only that one file, lib/rbtree.c .  I am getting good results out of these
- in my small benchmark doing rbtree insertion (including search) and
erase, I'm seeing a 30% runtime reduction on Sandybridge E5, which is more
than I initially thought would be possible.  (the results aren't as
impressive on my two other test hosts though, AMD barcelona and Intel
Westmere, where I am seeing 14% runtime reduction only).  The code size -
both source (ommiting comments) and compiled - is also shorter after these
changes.  However, I do admit that the updated code is more arduous to
read - one big reason for that is the removal of the tree rotation
helpers, which added some overhead but also made it easier to reason about
things locally.  Overall, I believe this is an acceptable compromise,
given that this code doesn't get modified very often, and that I have good
tests for it.

Upon Peter's suggestion, I added comments showing the rtree configuration
before every rotation.  I think they help; however it's still best to have
a copy of the cormen/leiserson/rivest book when digging into this code.

This patch: reference Documentation/rbtree.txt for usage instructions

include/linux/rbtree.h included some basic usage instructions, while
Documentation/rbtree.txt had some more complete and easier to follow
instructions.  Replacing the former with a reference to the latter.

1638113d9d ipc/mqueue: remove unnecessary rb_init_node() calls
Commit d6629859b3 ("ipc/mqueue: improve performance of send/recv") and
ce2d52cc ("ipc/mqueue: add rbtree node caching support") introduced an
rbtree of message priorities, and usage of rb_init_node() to initialize
the corresponding nodes.  As it turns out, rb_init_node() is unnecessary
here, as the nodes are fully initialized on insertion by rb_link_node()
and the code doesn't access nodes that aren't inserted on the rbtree.

Removing the rb_init_node() calls as I removed that function during
rbtree API cleanups (the only other use of it was in a place that
similarly didn't require it).

9501d09fa3 thp, s390: thp pagetable pre-allocation for s390
This patch is part of the architecture backend for thp on s390.  It
provides the pagetable pre-allocation functions
pgtable_trans_huge_deposit() and pgtable_trans_huge_withdraw().  Unlike
other archs, s390 has no struct page * as pgtable_t, but rather a pointer
to the page table.  So instead of saving the pagetable pre- allocation
list info inside the struct page, it is being saved within the pagetable
itself.

75077afbec thp, s390: thp splitting backend for s390
This patch is part of the architecture backend for thp on s390.  It
provides the functions related to thp splitting, including serialization
against gup.  Unlike other archs, pmdp_splitting_flush() cannot use a tlb
flushing operation to serialize against gup on s390, because that wouldn't
be stopped by the disabled IRQs.  So instead, smp_call_function() is
called with an empty function, which will have the expected effect.

This adds a check to hugepage_madvise(), to refuse MADV_HUGEPAGE if
VM_NOHUGEPAGE is set in mm->def_flags.  On s390, the VM_NOHUGEPAGE flag

hugepage_madvise() should check mm->def_flags.

e3ebcf6438 thp: remove assumptions on pgtable_t type
The thp page table pre-allocation code currently assumes that pgtable_t is
of type "struct page *".  This may not be true for all architectures, so
this patch removes that assumption by replacing the functions
prepare_pmd_huge_pte() and get_pmd_huge_pte() with two new functions that
can be defined architecture-specific.

It also removes two VM_BUG_ON checks for page_count() and page_mapcount()
operating on a pgtable_t.  Apart from the VM_BUG_ON removal, there will be
no functional change introduced by this patch.

15626062f4 thp, x86: introduce HAVE_ARCH_TRANSPARENT_HUGEPAGE
Cleanup patch in preparation for transparent hugepage support on s390.
Adding new architectures to the TRANSPARENT_HUGEPAGE config option can
make the "depends" line rather ugly, like "depends on (X86 || (S390 &&
64BIT)) && MMU".

This patch adds a HAVE_ARCH_TRANSPARENT_HUGEPAGE instead.  x86 already has
MMU "def_bool y", so the MMU check is superfluous there and
HAVE_ARCH_TRANSPARENT_HUGEPAGE can be selected in arch/x86/Kconfig.

911891afe1 thp: move khugepaged_mutex out of khugepaged
Currently, hugepaged_mutex is used really complexly and hard to
understand, actually, it is just used to serialize start_khugepaged and
khugepaged for these reasons:

- khugepaged_thread is shared between them
- the thp disable path (echo never > transparent_hugepage/enabled) is
  nonblocking, so we need to protect khugepaged_thread to get a stable
  running state

These can be avoided by:

- use the lock to serialize the thread creation and cancel
- thp disable path can not finised until the thread exits

Then khugepaged_thread is fully controlled by start_khugepaged, khugepaged
will be happy without the lock

5d3a551c28 mm: hugetlb: add arch hook for clearing page flags before entering pool
The core page allocator ensures that page flags are zeroed when freeing
pages via free_pages_check.  A number of architectures (ARM, PPC, MIPS)
rely on this property to treat new pages as dirty with respect to the data
cache and perform the appropriate flushing before mapping the pages into
userspace.

This can lead to cache synchronisation problems when using hugepages,
since the allocator keeps its own pool of pages above the usual page
allocator and does not reset the page flags when freeing a page into the
pool.

This patch adds a new architecture hook, arch_clear_hugepage_flags, so
that architectures which rely on the page flags being in a particular
state for fresh allocations can adjust the flags accordingly when a page
is freed into the pool.

21a92735f6 mm: mmu_notifier: have mmu_notifiers use a global SRCU so they may safely schedule
With an RCU based mmu_notifier implementation, any callout to
mmu_notifier_invalidate_range_{start,end}() or
mmu_notifier_invalidate_page() would not be allowed to call schedule()
as that could potentially allow a modification to the mmu_notifier
structure while it is currently being used.

Since srcu allocs 4 machine words per instance per cpu, we may end up
with memory exhaustion if we use srcu per mm.  So all mms share a global
srcu.  Note that during large mmu_notifier activity exit & unregister
paths might hang for longer periods, but it is tolerable for current
mmu_notifier clients.

48af0d7cb3 mm: mmu_notifier: fix inconsistent memory between secondary MMU and host
There is a bug in set_pte_at_notify() which always sets the pte to the
new page before releasing the old page in the secondary MMU.  At this
time, the process will access on the new page, but the secondary MMU
still access on the old page, the memory is inconsistent between them

The below scenario shows the bug more clearly:

at the beginning: *p = 0, and p is write-protected by KSM or shared with
parent process

CPU 0                                       CPU 1
write 1 to p to trigger COW,
set_pte_at_notify will be called:
  *pte = new_page + W; /* The W bit of pte is set */

                                     *p = 1; /* pte is valid, so no #PF */

                                     return back to secondary MMU, then
                                     the secondary MMU read p, but get:
                                     *p == 0;

                         /*
                          * !!!!!!
                          * the host has already set p to 1, but the secondary
                          * MMU still get the old value 0
                          */

  call mmu_notifier_change_pte to release
  old page in secondary MMU

We can fix it by release old page first, then set the pte to the new
page.

Note, the new page will be firstly used in secondary MMU before it is
mapped into the page table of the process, but this is safe because it
is protected by the page table lock, there is no race to change the pte

00442ad04a mempolicy: fix a memory corruption by refcount imbalance in alloc_pages_vma()
Commit cc9a6c8776 ("cpuset: mm: reduce large amounts of memory barrier
related damage v3") introduced a potential memory corruption.
shmem_alloc_page() uses a pseudo vma and it has one significant unique
combination, vma->vm_ops=NULL and vma->policy->flags & MPOL_F_SHARED.

get_vma_policy() does NOT increase a policy ref when vma->vm_ops=NULL
and mpol_cond_put() DOES decrease a policy ref when a policy has
MPOL_F_SHARED.  Therefore, when a cpuset update race occurs,
alloc_pages_vma() falls in 'goto retry_cpuset' path, decrements the
reference count and frees the policy prematurely.

When shared_policy_replace() fails to allocate new->policy is not freed
correctly by mpol_set_shared_policy().  The problem is that shared
mempolicy code directly call kmem_cache_free() in multiple places where
it is easy to make a mistake.

This patch creates an sp_free wrapper function and uses it. The bug was
introduced pre-git age (IOW, before 2.6.12-rc2).
