Thomas Gleixner reports that we now have a boot crash triggered by
CONFIG_CPUMASK_OFFSTACK=y:
BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at (null)
IP: [<c11ae035>] find_next_bit+0x55/0xb0
Call Trace:
[<c11addda>] cpumask_any_but+0x2a/0x70

[<c103a7a3>] mm_alloc+0x53/0xd0
which was introduced by commit de03c72cfc ("mm: convert
mm->cpu_vm_cpumask into cpumask_var_t"), and is due to wrong ordering of
mm_init() vs mm_init_cpumask
Thomas wrote a patch to just fix the ordering of initialization, but I
hate the new double allocation in the fork path, so I ended up instead
doing some more radical surgery to clean it all up.

Reserve just the minimum of pages needed to process one job.
Because we allocate pages from page allocator, we don't need to reserve
a large number of pages. The maximum job size is SUB_JOB_SIZE and we
calculate the number of reserved pages based on this.

Replace the arbitrary calculation of an initial io struct mempool size
with a constant.
The code calculated the number of reserved structures based on the request
size and used a "magic" multiplication constant of 4. This patch changes
it to reserve a fixed number - itself still chosen quite arbitrarily.
Further testing might show if there is a better number to choose.
Note that if there is no memory pressure, we can still allocate an
arbitrary number of "struct io" structures. One structure is enough to
process the whole request.

page_get_storage_key() and page_set_storage_key() expect a page address
and not its page frame number. This got inconsistent with 2d42552d
"[S390] merge page_test_dirty and page_clear_dirty".
Result is that we read/write storage keys from random pages and do not
have a working dirty bit tracking at all.
E.g. SetPageUpdate() doesn't clear the dirty bit of requested pages, which
for example ext4 doesn't like very much and panics after a while.

_SxW returns an Integer containing the lowest D-state supported in state
Sx. If OSPM has not indicated that it supports _PR3, then the value “3”
corresponds to D3. If it has indicated _PR3 support, the value “3”
represents D3hot and the value “4” represents D3cold.
Linux does set _OSC._PR3, so we should fix it to expect that _SxW can
return 4.

Usually, there are multiple processors defined in ACPI table, for
example
Scope (_PR)
{
Processor (CPU0, 0x00, 0x00000410, 0x06) {}
Processor (CPU1, 0x01, 0x00000410, 0x06) {}
Processor (CPU2, 0x02, 0x00000410, 0x06) {}
Processor (CPU3, 0x03, 0x00000410, 0x06) {}
}
processor_physically_present(...) will be called to check whether those
processors are physically present.
Currently we have below codes in processor_physically_present,
cpuid = acpi_get_cpuid(...);
if ((cpuid == -1) && (num_possible_cpus() > 1))
return false;
return true;
In UP kernel, acpi_get_cpuid(...) always return -1 and
num_possible_cpus() always return 1, so
processor_physically_present(...) always returns true for all passed in
processor handles.
This is wrong for UP processor or SMP processor running UP kernel.
This patch removes the !SMP version of acpi_get_cpuid(), so both UP and
SMP kernel use the same acpi_get_cpuid function.
And for UP kernel, only processor 0 is valid.

Thanks to the reviews and comments by Rafael, James, Mark and Andi.
Here's version 2 of the patch incorporating your comments and also some
update to my previous patch comments.
I noticed that before entering idle state, the menu idle governor will
look up the current pm_qos target value according to the list of qos
requests received. This look up currently needs the acquisition of a
lock to access the list of qos requests to find the qos target value,
slowing down the entrance into idle state due to contention by multiple
cpus to access this list. The contention is severe when there are a lot
of cpus waking and going into idle. For example, for a simple workload
that has 32 pair of processes ping ponging messages to each other, where
64 cpu cores are active in test system, I see the following profile with
37.82% of cpu cycles spent in contention of pm_qos_lock:
- 37.82% swapper [kernel.kallsyms] [k]
_raw_spin_lock_irqsave
- _raw_spin_lock_irqsave
- 95.65% pm_qos_request
menu_select
cpuidle_idle_call
- cpu_idle
99.98% start_secondary
A better approach will be to cache the updated pm_qos target value so
reading it does not require lock acquisition as in the patch below.
With this patch the contention for pm_qos_lock is removed and I saw a
2.2X increase in throughput for my message passing workload.
