Ingo was getting warnings from rcu_scheduler_starting()
indicating that context switches had occurred before RCU ended
its special early-boot handling of grace periods.
This is a dangerous condition, as it indicates that RCU might
have prematurely ended grace periods. This exploratory fix
moves rcu_scheduler_starting() earlier in boot.

Some architectures initialize clocks and timers in late_time_init and
x86 wants to do the same to avoid FIXMAP hackery for calibrating the
TSC. That would result in undefined sched_clock readout and wreckaged
printk timestamps again. We probably have those already on archs which
do all their time/clock setup in late_time_init.
There is no harm to move that after late_time_init except that a few
more boot timestamps are stale. The scheduler is not active at that
point so no real wreckage is expected.

The oops did not reveal any more details about the real stack
that we have and the system got into an infinite loop of
recursive pagefaults.
So i booted with CONFIG_STACK_TRACER=y and the 'stacktrace' boot
parameter. The box did not crash (timings/conditions probably
changed a tiny bit to trigger the catastrophic crash), but the
/debug/tracing/stack_trace file was rather revealing:

There's a lot of fat functions on that stack trace, but
the largest of all is do_one_initcall(). This is due to
the boot trace entry variables being on the stack.
Fixing this is relatively easy, initcalls are fundamentally
serialized, so we can move the local variables to file scope.
Note that this large stack footprint was present for a
couple of months already - what pushed my system over
the edge was the addition of kmemleak to the call-chain:
6) 3328 36 allocate_slab+0xb1/0x100
7) 3292 36 new_slab+0x1c/0x160

12) 3068 24 kmem_cache_alloc+0x162/0x1d0
13) 3044 52 scsi_pool_alloc_command+0x29/0x70
This pushes the total to ~3800 bytes, only a tiny bit
more was needed to corrupt the on-kernel-stack thread_info.
The fix reduces the stack footprint from 572 bytes
to 28 bytes.

This patch makes most !CONFIG_HAVE_SETUP_PER_CPU_AREA archs use
dynamic percpu allocator. The first chunk is allocated using
embedding helper and 8k is reserved for modules. This ensures that
the new allocator behaves almost identically to the original allocator
as long as static percpu variables are concerned, so it shouldn't
introduce much breakage.
s390 and alpha use custom SHIFT_PERCPU_PTR() to work around addressing
range limit the addressing model imposes. Unfortunately, this breaks
if the address is specified using a variable, so for now, the two
archs aren't converted.
The following architectures are affected by this change.
* sh
* arm
* cris
* mips
* sparc(32)
* blackfin
* avr32
* parisc (broken, under investigation)
* m32r
* powerpc(32)
As this change makes the dynamic allocator the default one,
CONFIG_HAVE_DYNAMIC_PER_CPU_AREA is replaced with its invert -
CONFIG_HAVE_LEGACY_PER_CPU_AREA, which is added to yet-to-be converted
archs. These archs implement their own setup_per_cpu_areas() and the
conversion is not trivial.
* powerpc(64)
* sparc(64)
* ia64
* alpha
* s390
Boot and batch alloc/free tests on x86_32 with debug code (x86_32
doesn't use default first chunk initialization). Compile tested on
sparc(32), powerpc(32), arm and alpha.
Kyle McMartin reported that this change breaks parisc. The problem is
still under investigation and he is okay with pushing this patch
forward and fixing parisc later.

SLAB uses get/put_online_cpus() which use a mutex which is itself only
initialized when cpu_hotplug_init() is called. Currently we hang suring
boot in SLAB due to doing that too late.
Reported by James Bottomley and Sachin Sant (and possibly others).
Debugged by Benjamin Herrenschmidt.
This just removes the dynamic initialization of the data structures, and
replaces it with a static one, avoiding this dependency entirely, and
removing one unnecessary special initcall.

Fix allocating page cache/slab object on the unallowed node when memory
spread is set by updating tasks' mems_allowed after its cpuset's mems is
changed.
In order to update tasks' mems_allowed in time, we must modify the code of
memory policy. Because the memory policy is applied in the process's
context originally. After applying this patch, one task directly
manipulates anothers mems_allowed, and we use alloc_lock in the
task_struct to protect mems_allowed and memory policy of the task.
But in the fast path, we didn't use lock to protect them, because adding a
lock may lead to performance regression. But if we don't add a lock,the
task might see no nodes when changing cpuset's mems_allowed to some
non-overlapping set. In order to avoid it, we set all new allowed nodes,
then clear newly disallowed ones.
[lee.schermerhorn@hp.com:
The rework of mpol_new() to extract the adjusting of the node mask to
apply cpuset and mpol flags "context" breaks set_mempolicy() and mbind()
with MPOL_PREFERRED and a NULL nodemask--i.e., explicit local
allocation. Fix this by adding the check for MPOL_PREFERRED and empty
node mask to mpol_new_mpolicy().
Remove the now unneeded 'nodes = NULL' from mpol_new().
Note that mpol_new_mempolicy() is always called with a non-NULL
'nodes' parameter now that it has been removed from mpol_new().
Therefore, we don't need to test nodes for NULL before testing it for
'empty'. However, just to be extra paranoid, add a VM_BUG_ON() to
verify this assumption.]
[lee.schermerhorn@hp.com:
I don't think the function name 'mpol_new_mempolicy' is descriptive
enough to differentiate it from mpol_new().
This function applies cpuset set context, usually constraining nodes
to those allowed by the cpuset. However, when the 'RELATIVE_NODES flag
is set, it also translates the nodes. So I settled on
'mpol_set_nodemask()', because the comment block for mpol_new() mentions
that we need to call this function to "set nodes".
Some additional minor line length, whitespace and typo cleanup.]

General description: kmemcheck is a patch to the linux kernel that
detects use of uninitialized memory. It does this by trapping every
read and write to memory that was allocated dynamically (e.g. using
kmalloc()). If a memory address is read that has not previously been
written to, a message is printed to the kernel log.
Thanks to Andi Kleen for the set_memory_4k() solution.
Andrew Morton suggested documenting the shadow member of struct page.

As explained by Benjamin Herrenschmidt:
Oh and btw, your patch alone doesn't fix powerpc, because it's missing
a whole bunch of GFP_KERNEL's in the arch code... You would have to
grep the entire kernel for things that check slab_is_available() and
even then you'll be missing some.
For example, slab_is_available() didn't always exist, and so in the
early days on powerpc, we used a mem_init_done global that is set form
mem_init() (not perfect but works in practice). And we still have code
using that to do the test.
Therefore, mask out __GFP_WAIT, __GFP_IO, and __GFP_FS in the slab allocators
in early boot code to avoid enabling interrupts.

Now, SLAB is configured in very early stage and it can be used in
init routine now.
But replacing alloc_bootmem() in FLAT/DISCONTIGMEM's page_cgroup()
initialization breaks the allocation, now.
(Works well in SPARSEMEM case...it supports MEMORY_HOTPLUG and
size of page_cgroup is in reasonable size (< 1 << MAX_ORDER.)
This patch revive FLATMEM+memory cgroup by using alloc_bootmem.
In future,
We stop to support FLATMEM (if no users) or rewrite codes for flatmem
completely.But this will adds more messy codes and overheads.

This patch makes kmalloc() available earlier in the boot sequence so we can get
rid of some bootmem allocations. The bulk of the changes are due to
kmem_cache_init() being called with interrupts disabled which requires some
changes to allocator boostrap code.
Note: 32-bit x86 does WP protect test in mem_init() so we must setup traps
before we call mem_init() during boot as reported by Ingo Molnar:
We have a hard crash in the WP-protect code:

This patch adds the base support for the kernel memory leak
detector. It traces the memory allocation/freeing in a way similar to
the Boehm's conservative garbage collector, the difference being that
the unreferenced objects are not freed but only shown in
/sys/kernel/debug/kmemleak. Enabling this feature introduces an
overhead to memory allocations.

V3 of the early platform driver implementation.
Platform drivers are great for embedded platforms because we can separate
driver configuration from the actual driver. So base addresses,
interrupts and other configuration can be kept with the processor or board
code, and the platform driver can be reused by many different platforms.
For early devices we have nothing today. For instance, to configure early
timers and early serial ports we cannot use platform devices. This
because the setup order during boot. Timers are needed before the
platform driver core code is available. The same goes for early printk
support. Early in this case means before initcalls.
These early drivers today have their configuration either hard coded or
they receive it using some special configuration method. This is working
quite well, but if we want to support both regular kernel modules and
early devices then we need to have two ways of configuring the same
driver. A single way would be better.
The early platform driver patch is basically a set of functions that allow
drivers to register themselves and architecture code to locate them and
probe. Registration happens through early_param(). The time for the
probe is decided by the architecture code.
See Documentation/driver-model/platform.txt for more details.

Impact: refactor code for future changes
Current kmemtrace.h is used both as header file of kmemtrace and kmem's
tracepoints definition.
Tracepoints' definition file may be used by other code, and should only have
definition of tracepoint.

Impact: cleanup
(Thanks to Al Viro for reminding me of this, via Ingo)
CPU_MASK_ALL is the (deprecated) "all bits set" cpumask, defined as so:
#define CPU_MASK_ALL (cpumask_t) { { ... } }
Taking the address of such a temporary is questionable at best,
unfortunately 321a8e9d (cpumask: add CPU_MASK_ALL_PTR macro) added
CPU_MASK_ALL_PTR:
#define CPU_MASK_ALL_PTR (&CPU_MASK_ALL)
Which formalizes this practice. One day gcc could bite us over this
usage (though we seem to have gotten away with it so far).
So replace everywhere which used &CPU_MASK_ALL or CPU_MASK_ALL_PTR
with the modern "cpu_all_mask" (a real const struct cpumask *).

Impact: cpuset_wq should be initialized after init_workqueues()

1 5 5 kblockd/1
1 0 0 ata/1
1 0 0 aio/1
1 0 0 kondemand/1
1 0 0 rpciod/1
I found "cpuset" is at the earliest.
I found a create_singlethread_workqueue() is earlier than
init_workqueues():
kernel_init()
->cpuset_init_smp()
->create_singlethread_workqueue()
->do_basic_setup()
->init_workqueues()
I think it's better that create_singlethread_workqueue() is called
after workqueue subsystem has been initialized.

This patch fixes a bug located by Vegard Nossum with the aid of
kmemcheck, updated based on review comments from Nick Piggin,
Ingo Molnar, and Andrew Morton. And cleans up the variable-name
and function-name language. ;-)
The boot CPU runs in the context of its idle thread during boot-up.
During this time, idle_cpu(0) will always return nonzero, which will
fool Classic and Hierarchical RCU into deciding that a large chunk of
the boot-up sequence is a big long quiescent state. This in turn causes
RCU to prematurely end grace periods during this time.
This patch changes the rcutree.c and rcuclassic.c rcu_check_callbacks()
function to ignore the idle task as a quiescent state until the
system has started up the scheduler in rest_init(), introducing a
new non-API function rcu_idle_now_means_idle() to inform RCU of this
transition. RCU maintains an internal rcu_idle_cpu_truthful variable
to track this state, which is then used by rcu_check_callback() to
determine if it should believe idle_cpu().
Because this patch has the effect of disallowing RCU grace periods
during long stretches of the boot-up sequence, this patch also introduces
Josh Triplett's UP-only optimization that makes synchronize_rcu() be a
no-op if num_online_cpus() returns 1. This allows boot-time code that
calls synchronize_rcu() to proceed normally. Note, however, that RCU
callbacks registered by call_rcu() will likely queue up until later in
the boot sequence. Although rcuclassic and rcutree can also use this
same optimization after boot completes, rcupreempt must restrict its
use of this optimization to the portion of the boot sequence before the
scheduler starts up, given that an rcupreempt RCU read-side critical
section may be preeempted.
In addition, this patch takes Nick Piggin's suggestion to make the
system_state global variable be __read_mostly.
Changes since v4:
o Changes the name of the introduced function and variable to
be less emotional. ;-)
Changes since v3:
o WARN_ON(nr_context_switches() > 0) to verify that RCU
switches out of boot-time mode before the first context
switch, as suggested by Nick Piggin.
Changes since v2:
o Created rcu_blocking_is_gp() internal-to-RCU API that
determines whether a call to synchronize_rcu() is itself
a grace period.
o The definition of rcu_blocking_is_gp() for rcuclassic and
rcutree checks to see if but a single CPU is online.
o The definition of rcu_blocking_is_gp() for rcupreempt
checks to see both if but a single CPU is online and if
the system is still in early boot.
This allows rcupreempt to again work correctly if running
on a single CPU after booting is complete.
o Added check to rcupreempt's synchronize_sched() for there
being but one online CPU.
Tested all three variants both SMP and !SMP, booted fine, passed a short
rcutorture test on both x86 and Power.

disable_ioapic_setup()
Impact: cleanup
disable_ioapic_setup() in init/main.c is ugly as the function is

Right now, most of the kernel boot is strictly synchronous, such that
various hardware delays are done sequentially.
In order to make the kernel boot faster, this patch introduces
infrastructure to allow doing some of the initialization steps
asynchronously, which will hide significant portions of the hardware delays
in practice.
In order to not change device order and other similar observables, this
patch does NOT do full parallel initialization.
Rather, it operates more in the way an out of order CPU does; the work may
be done out of order and asynchronous, but the observable effects
(instruction retiring for the CPU) are still done in the original sequence.
