6265e169cd random: push extra entropy to the output pools
As the input pool gets filled, start transfering entropy to the output
pools until they get filled.  This allows us to use the output pools
to store more system entropy.  Waste not, want not....

5910895f0e random: fix the tracepoint for get_random_bytes(_arch)
Fix a problem where get_random_bytes_arch() was calling the tracepoint
get_random_bytes().  So add a new tracepoint for
get_random_bytes_arch(), and make get_random_bytes() and
get_random_bytes_arch() call their correct tracepoint.

Also, add a new tracepoint for add_device_randomness()

61875f30da random: allow architectures to optionally define random_get_entropy()
Allow architectures which have a disabled get_cycles() function to
provide a random_get_entropy() function which provides a fine-grained,
rapidly changing counter that can be used by the /dev/random driver.

For example, an architecture might have a rapidly changing register
used to control random TLB cache eviction, or DRAM refresh that
doesn't meet the requirements of get_cycles(), but which is good
enough for the needs of the random driver.

1b65c4e5a9 swiotlb-xen: use xen_alloc/free_coherent_pages
Use xen_alloc_coherent_pages and xen_free_coherent_pages to allocate or
free coherent pages.

We need to be careful handling the pointer returned by
xen_alloc_coherent_pages, because on ARM the pointer is not equal to
phys_to_virt(*dma_handle). In fact virt_to_phys only works for kernel
direct mapped RAM memory.
In ARM case the pointer could be an ioremap address, therefore passing
it to virt_to_phys would give you another physical address that doesn't
correspond to it.

Make xen_create_contiguous_region take a phys_addr_t as start parameter to
avoid the virt_to_phys calls which would be incorrect.

Changes in v6:
- remove extra spaces.

634fb979e8 inet: includes a sock_common in request_sock
TCP listener refactoring, part 5 :

We want to be able to insert request sockets (SYN_RECV) into main
ehash table instead of the per listener hash table to allow RCU
lookups and remove listener lock contention.

This patch includes the needed struct sock_common in front
of struct request_sock

This means there is no more inet6_request_sock IPv6 specific
structure.

Following inet_request_sock fields were renamed as they became
macros to reference fields from struct sock_common.
Prefix ir_ was chosen to avoid name collisions.

de1c9ce6f0 sched/numa: Skip some page migrations after a shared fault
Shared faults can lead to lots of unnecessary page migrations,
slowing down the system, and causing private faults to hit the
per-pgdat migration ratelimit.

This patch adds sysctl numa_balancing_migrate_deferred, which specifies
how many shared page migrations to skip unconditionally, after each page
migration that is skipped because it is a shared fault.

This reduces the number of page migrations back and forth in
shared fault situations. It also gives a strong preference to
the tasks that are already running where most of the memory is,
and to moving the other tasks to near the memory.

Testing this with a much higher scan rate than the default
still seems to result in fewer page migrations than before.

Memory seems to be somewhat better consolidated than previously,
with multi-instance specjbb runs on a 4 node system.

8c8a743c50 sched/numa: Use {cpu, pid} to create task groups for shared faults
While parallel applications tend to align their data on the cache
boundary, they tend not to align on the page or THP boundary.
Consequently tasks that partition their data can still "false-share"
pages presenting a problem for optimal NUMA placement.

This patch uses NUMA hinting faults to chain tasks together into
numa_groups. As well as storing the NID a task was running on when
accessing a page a truncated representation of the faulting PID is
stored. If subsequent faults are from different PIDs it is reasonable
to assume that those two tasks share a page and are candidates for
being grouped together. Note that this patch makes no scheduling
decisions based on the grouping information.

ac66f54772 sched/numa: Introduce migrate_swap()
Use the new stop_two_cpus() to implement migrate_swap(), a function that
flips two tasks between their respective cpus.

I'm fairly sure there's a less crude way than employing the stop_two_cpus()
method, but everything I tried either got horribly fragile and/or complex. So
keep it simple for now.

The notable detail is how we 'migrate' tasks that aren't runnable
anymore. We'll make it appear like we migrated them before they went to
sleep. The sole difference is the previous cpu in the wakeup path, so we
override this.

1be0bd77c5 stop_machine: Introduce stop_two_cpus()
Introduce stop_two_cpus() in order to allow controlled swapping of two
tasks. It repurposes the stop_machine() state machine but only stops
the two cpus which we can do with on-stack structures and avoid
machine wide synchronization issues.

The ordering of CPUs is important to avoid deadlocks. If unordered then
two cpus calling stop_two_cpus on each other simultaneously would attempt
to queue in the opposite order on each CPU causing an AB-BA style deadlock.
By always having the lowest number CPU doing the queueing of works, we can
guarantee that works are always queued in the same order, and deadlocks
are avoided.

6b9a7460b6 sched/numa: Retry migration of tasks to CPU on a preferred node
When a preferred node is selected for a tasks there is an attempt to migrate
the task to a CPU there. This may fail in which case the task will only
migrate if the active load balancer takes action. This may never happen if
the conditions are not right. This patch will check at NUMA hinting fault
time if another attempt should be made to migrate the task. It will only
make an attempt once every five seconds.

fc3147245d mm: numa: Limit NUMA scanning to migrate-on-fault VMAs
There is a 90% regression observed with a large Oracle performance test
on a 4 node system. Profiles indicated that the overhead was due to
contention on sp_lock when looking up shared memory policies. These
policies do not have the appropriate flags to allow them to be
automatically balanced so trapping faults on them is pointless. This
patch skips VMAs that do not have MPOL_F_MOF set.

b795854b1f sched/numa: Set preferred NUMA node based on number of private faults
Ideally it would be possible to distinguish between NUMA hinting faults that
are private to a task and those that are shared. If treated identically
there is a risk that shared pages bounce between nodes depending on
the order they are referenced by tasks. Ultimately what is desirable is
that task private pages remain local to the task while shared pages are
interleaved between sharing tasks running on different nodes to give good
average performance. This is further complicated by THP as even
applications that partition their data may not be partitioning on a huge
page boundary.

To start with, this patch assumes that multi-threaded or multi-process
applications partition their data and that in general the private accesses
are more important for cpu->memory locality in the general case. Also,
no new infrastructure is required to treat private pages properly but
interleaving for shared pages requires additional infrastructure.

To detect private accesses the pid of the last accessing task is required
but the storage requirements are a high. This patch borrows heavily from
Ingo Molnar's patch "numa, mm, sched: Implement last-CPU+PID hash tracking"
to encode some bits from the last accessing task in the page flags as
well as the node information. Collisions will occur but it is better than
just depending on the node information. Node information is then used to
determine if a page needs to migrate. The PID information is used to detect
private/shared accesses. The preferred NUMA node is selected based on where
the maximum number of approximately private faults were measured. Shared
faults are not taken into consideration for a few reasons.

First, if there are many tasks sharing the page then they'll all move
towards the same node. The node will be compute overloaded and then
scheduled away later only to bounce back again. Alternatively the shared
tasks would just bounce around nodes because the fault information is
effectively noise. Either way accounting for shared faults the same as
private faults can result in lower performance overall.

The second reason is based on a hypothetical workload that has a small
number of very important, heavily accessed private pages but a large shared
array. The shared array would dominate the number of faults and be selected
as a preferred node even though it's the wrong decision.

The third reason is that multiple threads in a process will race each
other to fault the shared page making the fault information unreliable.

1bc115d87d mm: numa: Scan pages with elevated page_mapcount
Currently automatic NUMA balancing is unable to distinguish between false
shared versus private pages except by ignoring pages with an elevated
page_mapcount entirely. This avoids shared pages bouncing between the
nodes whose task is using them but that is ignored quite a lot of data.

This patch kicks away the training wheels in preparation for adding support
for identifying shared/private pages is now in place. The ordering is so
that the impact of the shared/private detection can be easily measured. Note
that the patch does not migrate shared, file-backed within vmas marked
VM_EXEC as these are generally shared library pages. Migrating such pages
is not beneficial as there is an expectation they are read-shared between
caches and iTLB and iCache pressure is generally low.

3a7053b322 sched/numa: Favour moving tasks towards the preferred node
This patch favours moving tasks towards NUMA node that recorded a higher
number of NUMA faults during active load balancing.  Ideally this is
self-reinforcing as the longer the task runs on that node, the more faults
it should incur causing task_numa_placement to keep the task running on that
node. In reality a big weakness is that the nodes CPUs can be overloaded
and it would be more efficient to queue tasks on an idle node and migrate
to the new node. This would require additional smarts in the balancer so
for now the balancer will simply prefer to place the task on the preferred
node for a PTE scans which is controlled by the numa_balancing_settle_count
sysctl. Once the settle_count number of scans has complete the schedule
is free to place the task on an alternative node if the load is imbalanced.

745d61476d sched/numa: Update NUMA hinting faults once per scan
NUMA hinting fault counts and placement decisions are both recorded in the
same array which distorts the samples in an unpredictable fashion. The values
linearly accumulate during the scan and then decay creating a sawtooth-like
pattern in the per-node counts. It also means that placement decisions are
time sensitive. At best it means that it is very difficult to state that
the buffer holds a decaying average of past faulting behaviour. At worst,
it can confuse the load balancer if it sees one node with an artifically high
count due to very recent faulting activity and may create a bouncing effect.

This patch adds a second array. numa_faults stores the historical data
which is used for placement decisions. numa_faults_buffer holds the
fault activity during the current scan window. When the scan completes,
numa_faults decays and the values from numa_faults_buffer are copied
across.
