Christoph Lameter b789ef518b slub: Add cmpxchg_double_slab()
Add a function that operates on the second doubleword in the page struct
and manipulates the object counters, the freelist and the frozen attribute.

Christoph Lameter 8cb0a5068f slub: Move page->frozen handling near where the page->freelist handling occurs
This is necessary because the frozen bit has to be handled in the same cmpxchg_double
with the freelist and the counters.

Christoph Lameter 50d5c41cd1 slub: Do not use frozen page flag but a bit in the page counters
Do not use a page flag for the frozen bit. It needs to be part
of the state that is handled with cmpxchg_double(). So use a bit
in the counter struct in the page struct for that purpose.

Christoph Lameter 7e0528dadc slub: Push irq disable into allocate_slab()
Do the irq handling in allocate_slab() instead of __slab_alloc().

__slab_alloc() is already cluttered and allocate_slab() is already
fiddling around with gfp flags.

	Only increment ORDER_FALLBACK if we get a page during fallback

Chris Metcalf d4d84fef6d slub: always align cpu_slab to honor cmpxchg_double requirement
On an architecture without CMPXCHG_LOCAL but with DEBUG_VM enabled,
the VM_BUG_ON() in __pcpu_double_call_return_bool() will cause an early
panic during boot unless we always align cpu_slab properly.

In principle we could remove the alignment-testing VM_BUG_ON() for
architectures that don't have CMPXCHG_LOCAL, but leaving it in means
that new code will tend not to break x86 even if it is introduced
on another platform, and it's low cost to require alignment.

Linus Torvalds 49a78d085f slub: remove no-longer used 'unlock_out' label
Commit a71ae47a2c ("slub: Fix double bit unlock in debug mode")
removed the only goto to this label, resulting in

  mm/slub.c: In function '__slab_alloc':
  mm/slub.c:1834: warning: label 'unlock_out' defined but not used

fixed trivially by the removal of the label itself too.

Christoph Lameter a71ae47a2c slub: Fix double bit unlock in debug mode
Commit 442b06bcea ("slub: Remove node check in slab_free") added a
call to deactivate_slab() in the debug case in __slab_alloc(), which
unlocks the current slab used for allocation.  Going to the label
'unlock_out' then does it again.

Also, in the debug case we do not need all the other processing that the
'unlock_out' path does.  We always fall back to the slow path in the
debug case.  So the tid update is useless.

Similarly, ALLOC_SLOWPATH would just be incremented for all allocations.
Also a pretty useless thing.

So simply restore irq flags and return the object.

Christoph Lameter 442b06bcea slub: Remove node check in slab_free
We can set the page pointing in the percpu structure to
NULL to have the same effect as setting c->node to NUMA_NO_NODE.

Gets rid of one check in slab_free() that was only used for
forcing the slab_free to the slowpath for debugging.

We still need to set c->node to NUMA_NO_NODE to force the
slab_alloc() fastpath to the slowpath in case of debugging.

David Rientjes bd07d87fd4 slub: avoid label inside conditional
Jumping to a label inside a conditional is considered poor style,
especially considering the current organization of __slab_alloc().

This removes the 'load_from_page' label and just duplicates the three
lines of code that it uses:

	c->node = page_to_nid(page);
	c->page = page;
	goto load_freelist;

since it's probably not worth making this a separate helper function.

Christoph Lameter 1393d9a185 slub: Make CONFIG_DEBUG_PAGE_ALLOC work with new fastpath
Fastpath can do a speculative access to a page that CONFIG_DEBUG_PAGE_ALLOC may have
marked as invalid to retrieve the pointer to the next free object.

Use probe_kernel_read in that case in order not to cause a page fault.

Christoph Lameter 1759415e63 slub: Remove CONFIG_CMPXCHG_LOCAL ifdeffery
Remove the #ifdefs. This means that the irqsafe_cpu_cmpxchg_double() is used
everywhere.

There may be performance implications since:

A. We now have to manage a transaction ID for all arches

B. The interrupt holdoff for arches not supporting CONFIG_CMPXCHG_LOCAL is reduced
to a very short irqoff section.

There are no multiple irqoff/irqon sequences as a result of this change. Even in the fallback
case we only have to do one disable and enable like before.

Thomas Gleixner 30106b8ce2 slub: Fix the lockless code on 32-bit platforms with no 64-bit cmpxchg
The SLUB allocator use of the cmpxchg_double logic was wrong: it
actually needs the irq-safe one.

That happens automatically when we use the native unlocked 'cmpxchg8b'
instruction, but when compiling the kernel for older x86 CPUs that do
not support that instruction, we fall back to the generic emulation
code.

And if you don't specify that you want the irq-safe version, the generic
code ends up just open-coding the cmpxchg8b equivalent without any
protection against interrupts or preemption.  Which definitely doesn't
work for SLUB.

This was reported by Werner Landgraf <w.landgraf@ru.ru>, who saw
instability with his distro-kernel that was compiled to support pretty
much everything under the sun.  Most big Linux distributions tend to
compile for PPro and later, and would never have noticed this problem.

This also fixes the prototypes for the irqsafe cmpxchg_double functions
to use 'bool' like they should.

[ Btw, that whole "generic code defaults to no protection" design just
  sounds stupid - if the code needs no protection, there is no reason to
  use "cmpxchg_double" to begin with.  So we should probably just remove
  the unprotected version entirely as pointless.   - Linus ]

Christoph Lameter b8c4c96ed4 SLUB: Write to per cpu data when allocating it
It turns out that the cmpxchg16b emulation has to access vmalloced
percpu memory with interrupts disabled. If the memory has never
been touched before then the fault necessary to establish the
mapping will not to occur and the kernel will fail on boot.

Fix that by reusing the CONFIG_PREEMPT code that writes the
cpu number into a field on every cpu. Writing to the per cpu
area before causes the mapping to be established before we get
to a cmpxchg16b emulation.

That's a typical timer crash, but you were unable to debug it with
debugobjects because commit d3f661d6 broke those.
