mm/treewide: rename CONFIG_HAVE_FAST_GUP to CONFIG_HAVE_GUP_FAST

Nowadays, we call it "GUP-fast", the external interface includes functions
like "get_user_pages_fast()", and we renamed all internal functions to
reflect that as well.

Let's make the config option reflect that.

mm/Kconfig: CONFIG_PGTABLE_HAS_HUGE_LEAVES

Patch series "mm/gup: Unify hugetlb, part 2", v4.

The series removes the hugetlb slow gup path after a previous refactor
work [1], so that slow gup now uses the exact same path to process all
kinds of memory including hugetlb.

For the long term, we may want to remove most, if not all, call sites of
huge_pte_offset(). It'll be ideal if that API can be completely dropped
from arch hugetlb API. This series is one small step towards merging
hugetlb specific codes into generic mm paths. From that POV, this series
removes one reference to huge_pte_offset() out of many others.

One goal of such a route is that we can reconsider merging hugetlb
features like High Granularity Mapping (HGM). It was not accepted in the
past because it may add lots of hugetlb specific codes and make the mm
code even harder to maintain. With a merged codeset, features like HGM
can hopefully share some code with THP, legacy (PMD+) or modern
(continuous PTEs).

To make it work, the generic slow gup code will need to at least
understand hugepd, which is already done like so in fast-gup. Due to the
specialty of hugepd to be software-only solution (no hardware recognizes
the hugepd format, so it's purely artificial structures), there's chance
we can merge some or all hugepd formats with cont_pte in the future. That
question is yet unsettled from Power side to have an acknowledgement. As
of now for this series, I kept the hugepd handling because we may still
need to do so before getting a clearer picture of the future of hugepd.
The other reason is simply that we did it already for fast-gup and most
codes are still around to be reused. It'll make more sense to keep
slow/fast gup behave the same before a decision is made to remove hugepd.

There's one major difference for slow-gup on cont_pte / cont_pmd handling,
currently supported on three architectures (aarch64, riscv, ppc). Before
the series, slow gup will be able to recognize e.g. cont_pte entries with
the help of huge_pte_offset() when hstate is around. Now it's gone but
still working, by looking up pgtable entries one by one.

It's not ideal, but hopefully this change should not affect yet on major
workloads. There's some more information in the commit message of the
last patch. If this would be a concern, we can consider teaching slow gup
to recognize cont pte/pmd entries, and that should recover the lost
performance. But I doubt its necessity for now, so I kept it as simple as
it can be.

Patch layout
=============

Patch 1-8: Preparation works, or cleanups in relevant code paths
Patch 9-11: Teach slow gup with all kinds of huge entries (pXd, hugepd)
Patch 12: Drop hugetlb_follow_page_mask()

More information can be found in the commit messages of each patch.

Introduce a config option that will be selected as long as huge leaves are
involved in pgtable (thp or hugetlbfs). It would be useful to mark any
code with this new config that can process either hugetlb or thp pages in
any level that is higher than pte level.

# 12af2b83 05-May-2024 Mike Rapoport (IBM) <rppt@kernel.org>

mm: introduce execmem_alloc() and execmem_free()

module_alloc() is used everywhere as a mean to allocate memory for code.

Beside being semantically wrong, this unnecessarily ties all subsystems
that need to allocate code, such as ftrace, kprobes and BPF to modules and
puts the burden of code allocation to the modules code.

Several architectures override module_alloc() because of various
constraints where the executable memory can be located and this causes
additional obstacles for improvements of code allocation.

Start splitting code allocation from modules by introducing execmem_alloc()
and execmem_free() APIs.

Initially, execmem_alloc() is a wrapper for module_alloc() and
execmem_free() is a replacement of module_memfree() to allow updating all
call sites to use the new APIs.

Since architectures define different restrictions on placement,
permissions, alignment and other parameters for memory that can be used by
different subsystems that allocate executable memory, execmem_alloc() takes
a type argument, that will be used to identify the calling subsystem and to
allow architectures define parameters for ranges suitable for that
subsystem.

No functional changes.

mm: Update shuffle documentation to match its current state

Commit 839195352d82 ("mm/shuffle: remove dynamic reconfiguration")
removed the dynamic reconfiguration capabilities from the shuffle page
allocator. This means that, now, we don't have any perspective of an
"autodetection of memory-side-cache" that triggers the enablement of the
shuffle page allocator.

Therefore, let the documentation reflect that the only way to enable
the shuffle page allocator is by setting `page_alloc.shuffle=1`.

Introduce cpu_dcache_is_aliasing() across all architectures

Introduce a generic way to query whether the data cache is virtually
aliased on all architectures. Its purpose is to ensure that subsystems
which are incompatible with virtually aliased data caches (e.g. FS_DAX)
can reliably query this.

For data cache aliasing, there are three scenarios dependending on the
architecture. Here is a breakdown based on my understanding:

A) The data cache is always aliasing:

* arc
* csky
* m68k (note: shared memory mappings are incoherent ? SHMLBA is missing there.)
* sh
* parisc

B) The data cache aliasing is statically known or depends on querying CPU
state at runtime:

* arm (cache_is_vivt() || cache_is_vipt_aliasing())
* mips (cpu_has_dc_aliases)
* nios2 (NIOS2_DCACHE_SIZE > PAGE_SIZE)
* sparc32 (vac_cache_size > PAGE_SIZE)
* sparc64 (L1DCACHE_SIZE > PAGE_SIZE)
* xtensa (DCACHE_WAY_SIZE > PAGE_SIZE)

C) The data cache is never aliasing:

* alpha
* arm64 (aarch64)
* hexagon
* loongarch (but with incoherent write buffers, which are disabled since
commit d23b7795 ("LoongArch: Change SHMLBA from SZ_64K to PAGE_SIZE"))
* microblaze
* openrisc
* powerpc
* riscv
* s390
* um
* x86

Require architectures in A) and B) to select ARCH_HAS_CPU_CACHE_ALIASING and
implement "cpu_dcache_is_aliasing()".

Architectures in C) don't select ARCH_HAS_CPU_CACHE_ALIASING, and thus
cpu_dcache_is_aliasing() simply evaluates to "false".

Note that this leaves "cpu_icache_is_aliasing()" to be implemented as future
work. This would be useful to gate features like XIP on architectures
which have aliasing CPU dcache-icache but not CPU dcache-dcache.

Use "cpu_dcache" and "cpu_cache" rather than just "dcache" and "cache"
to clarify that we really mean "CPU data cache" and "CPU cache" to
eliminate any possible confusion with VFS "dentry cache" and "page
cache".

mm/zswap: only support zswap_exclusive_loads_enabled

The !zswap_exclusive_loads_enabled mode will leave compressed copy in
the zswap tree and lru list after the folio swapin.

There are some disadvantages in this mode:
1. It's a waste of memory since there are two copies of data, one is
folio, the other one is compressed data in zswap. And it's unlikely
the compressed data is useful in the near future.

2. If that folio is dirtied, the compressed data must be not useful,
but we don't know and don't invalidate the trashy memory in zswap.

3. It's not reclaimable from zswap shrinker since zswap_writeback_entry()
will always return -EEXIST and terminate the shrinking process.

On the other hand, the only downside of zswap_exclusive_loads_enabled
is a little more cpu usage/latency when compression, and the same if
the folio is removed from swapcache or dirtied.

More explanation by Johannes on why we should consider exclusive load
as the default for zswap:

Caching "swapout work" is helpful when the system is thrashing. Then
recently swapped in pages might get swapped out again very soon. It
certainly makes sense with conventional swap, because keeping a clean
copy on the disk saves IO work and doesn't cost any additional memory.

But with zswap, it's different. It saves some compression work on a
thrashing page. But the act of keeping compressed memory contributes
to a higher rate of thrashing. And that can cause IO in other places
like zswap writeback and file memory.

And the A/B test results of the kernel build in tmpfs with limited memory
can support this theory:

!exclusive exclusive

iommu: Change kconfig around IOMMU_SVA

Linus suggested that the kconfig here is confusing:

https://lore.kernel.org/all/CAHk-=wgUiAtiszwseM1p2fCJ+sC4XWQ+YN4TanFhUgvUqjr9Xw@mail.gmail.com/

Let's break it into three kconfigs controlling distinct things:

- CONFIG_IOMMU_MM_DATA controls if the mm_struct has the additional
fields for the IOMMU. Currently only PASID, but later patches store
a struct iommu_mm_data *

- CONFIG_ARCH_HAS_CPU_PASID controls if the arch needs the scheduling bit
for keeping track of the ENQCMD instruction. x86 will select this if
IOMMU_SVA is enabled

- IOMMU_SVA controls if the IOMMU core compiles in the SVA support code
for iommu driver use and the IOMMU exported API

This way ARM will not enable CONFIG_ARCH_HAS_CPU_PASID

mm/thp: add CONFIG_TRANSPARENT_HUGEPAGE_NEVER option

Currently enabling THP support (CONFIG_TRANSPARENT_HUGEPAGE) requires
enabling either CONFIG_TRANSPARENT_HUGEPAGE_ALWAYS or
CONFIG_TRANSPARENT_HUGEPAGE_MADVISE, which both cause khugepaged starting
by default at kernel bootup. Add the third choice
CONFIG_TRANSPARENT_HUGEPAGE_NEVER, in line with the existing kernel
command line setting transparent_hugepage=never, to disable THP by default
(in particular, to prevent starting khugepaged by default) but still allow
enabling it at runtime via sysfs.

Rationale: khugepaged has its own non-negligible memory cost even if it is
not used by any applications, since it bumps up vm.min_free_kbytes to its
own required minimum in set_recommended_min_free_kbytes(). For example,
on a machine with 4GB RAM, with 3 mm zones and pageblock_order ==
MAX_ORDER, starting khugepaged causes vm.min_free_kbytes increase from 8MB
to 132MB.

So if we use THP on machines with e.g. >=8GB of memory for better
performance, but avoid using it on lower-memory machines to avoid its
memory overhead, then for the same reason we also want to avoid even
starting khugepaged on those <8GB machines. So with
CONFIG_TRANSPARENT_HUGEPAGE_NEVER we can use the same kernel image on both
>=8GB and <8GB machines, with THP support enabled but khugepaged not
started by default. The userspace can then decide to enable THP via sysfs
if needed, based on the total amount of memory.

This could also be achieved with the existing transparent_hugepage=never
setting in the kernel command line instead. But it seems cleaner to avoid
tweaking the command line for such a basic setting.

P.S. I see that CONFIG_TRANSPARENT_HUGEPAGE_NEVER was already proposed
in the past [1] but without an explanation of the purpose.

zswap: shrink zswap pool based on memory pressure

Currently, we only shrink the zswap pool when the user-defined limit is
hit. This means that if we set the limit too high, cold data that are
unlikely to be used again will reside in the pool, wasting precious
memory. It is hard to predict how much zswap space will be needed ahead
of time, as this depends on the workload (specifically, on factors such as
memory access patterns and compressibility of the memory pages).

This patch implements a memcg- and NUMA-aware shrinker for zswap, that is
initiated when there is memory pressure. The shrinker does not have any
parameter that must be tuned by the user, and can be opted in or out on a
per-memcg basis.

Furthermore, to make it more robust for many workloads and prevent
overshrinking (i.e evicting warm pages that might be refaulted into
memory), we build in the following heuristics:

* Estimate the number of warm pages residing in zswap, and attempt to
protect this region of the zswap LRU.
* Scale the number of freeable objects by an estimate of the memory
saving factor. The better zswap compresses the data, the fewer pages
we will evict to swap (as we will otherwise incur IO for relatively
small memory saving).
* During reclaim, if the shrinker encounters a page that is also being
brought into memory, the shrinker will cautiously terminate its
shrinking action, as this is a sign that it is touching the warmer
region of the zswap LRU.

As a proof of concept, we ran the following synthetic benchmark: build the
linux kernel in a memory-limited cgroup, and allocate some cold data in
tmpfs to see if the shrinker could write them out and improved the overall
performance. Depending on the amount of cold data generated, we observe
from 14% to 35% reduction in kernel CPU time used in the kernel builds.

mm: restrict the pcp batch scale factor to avoid too long latency

In page allocator, PCP (Per-CPU Pageset) is refilled and drained in
batches to increase page allocation throughput, reduce page
allocation/freeing latency per page, and reduce zone lock contention. But
too large batch size will cause too long maximal allocation/freeing
latency, which may punish arbitrary users. So the default batch size is
chosen carefully (in zone_batchsize(), the value is 63 for zone > 1GB) to
avoid that.

In commit 3b12e7e97938 ("mm/page_alloc: scale the number of pages that are
batch freed"), the batch size will be scaled for large number of page
freeing to improve page freeing performance and reduce zone lock
contention. Similar optimization can be used for large number of pages
allocation too.

To find out a suitable max batch scale factor (that is, max effective
batch size), some tests and measurement on some machines were done as
follows.

A set of debug patches are implemented as follows,

- Set PCP high to be 2 * batch to reduce the effect of PCP high

- Disable free batch size scaling to get the raw performance.

- The code with zone lock held is extracted from rmqueue_bulk() and
free_pcppages_bulk() to 2 separate functions to make it easy to
measure the function run time with ftrace function_graph tracer.

- The batch size is hard coded to be 63 (default), 127, 255, 511,
1023, 2047, 4095.

Then will-it-scale/page_fault1 is used to generate the page
allocation/freeing workload. The page allocation/freeing throughput
(page/s) is measured via will-it-scale. The page allocation/freeing
average latency (alloc/free latency avg, in us) and allocation/freeing
latency at 99 percentile (alloc/free latency 99%, in us) are measured with
ftrace function_graph tracer.

The test results are as follows,

From the above data, to restrict the allocation/freeing latency to be less
than 100 us in most times, the max batch scale factor needs to be less
than or equal to 5.

Although it is reasonable to use 5 as max batch scale factor for the
systems tested, there are also slower systems. Where smaller value should
be used to constrain the page allocation/freeing latency.

So, in this patch, a new kconfig option (PCP_BATCH_SCALE_MAX) is added to
set the max batch scale factor. Whose default value is 5, and users can
reduce it when necessary.

zswap: change zswap's default allocator to zsmalloc

Out of zswap's 3 allocators, zsmalloc is the clear superior in terms of
memory utilization, both in theory and as observed in practice, with its
high storage density and low internal fragmentation. zsmalloc is also
more actively developed and maintained, since it is the allocator of
choice for zswap for many users, as well as the only allocator for zram.

A historical objection to the selection of zsmalloc as the default
allocator for zswap is its lack of writeback capability. However, this
has changed, with the zsmalloc writeback patchset, and the subsequent
zswap LRU refactor. With this, there is not a lot of good reasons to keep
zbud, an otherwise inferior allocator, as the default instead of zswap.

This patch changes the default allocator to zsmalloc. The only exception
is on settings without MMU, in which case zbud will remain as the default.

mm/vmemmap optimization: split hugetlb and devdax vmemmap optimization

Arm disabled hugetlb vmemmap optimization [1] because hugetlb vmemmap
optimization includes an update of both the permissions (writeable to
read-only) and the output address (pfn) of the vmemmap ptes. That is not
supported without unmapping of pte(marking it invalid) by some
architectures.

With DAX vmemmap optimization we don't require such pte updates and
architectures can enable DAX vmemmap optimization while having hugetlb
vmemmap optimization disabled. Hence split DAX optimization support into
a different config.

s390, loongarch and riscv don't have devdax support. So the DAX config is
not enabled for them. With this change, arm64 should be able to select
DAX optimization

Randomized slab caches for kmalloc()

When exploiting memory vulnerabilities, "heap spraying" is a common
technique targeting those related to dynamic memory allocation (i.e. the
"heap"), and it plays an important role in a successful exploitation.
Basically, it is to overwrite the memory area of vulnerable object by
triggering allocation in other subsystems or modules and therefore
getting a reference to the targeted memory location. It's usable on
various types of vulnerablity including use after free (UAF), heap out-
of-bound write and etc.

There are (at least) two reasons why the heap can be sprayed: 1) generic
slab caches are shared among different subsystems and modules, and
2) dedicated slab caches could be merged with the generic ones.
Currently these two factors cannot be prevented at a low cost: the first
one is a widely used memory allocation mechanism, and shutting down slab
merging completely via `slub_nomerge` would be overkill.

To efficiently prevent heap spraying, we propose the following approach:
to create multiple copies of generic slab caches that will never be
merged, and random one of them will be used at allocation. The random
selection is based on the address of code that calls `kmalloc()`, which
means it is static at runtime (rather than dynamically determined at
each time of allocation, which could be bypassed by repeatedly spraying
in brute force). In other words, the randomness of cache selection will
be with respect to the code address rather than time, i.e. allocations
in different code paths would most likely pick different caches,
although kmalloc() at each place would use the same cache copy whenever
it is executed. In this way, the vulnerable object and memory allocated
in other subsystems and modules will (most probably) be on different
slab caches, which prevents the object from being sprayed.

Meanwhile, the static random selection is further enhanced with a
per-boot random seed, which prevents the attacker from finding a usable
kmalloc that happens to pick the same cache with the vulnerable
subsystem/module by analyzing the open source code. In other words, with
the per-boot seed, the random selection is static during each time the
system starts and runs, but not across different system startups.

The overhead of performance has been tested on a 40-core x86 server by
comparing the results of `perf bench all` between the kernels with and
without this patch based on the latest linux-next kernel, which shows
minor difference. A subset of benchmarks are listed below:

sched/ sched/ syscall/ mem/ mem/
messaging pipe basic memcpy memset
(sec) (sec) (sec) (GB/sec) (GB/sec)

control1 0.019 5.459 0.733 15.258789 51.398026

experiment_avg 0.019 5.352 0.746 15.678608 49.766343

The overhead of memory usage was measured by executing `free` after boot
on a QEMU VM with 1GB total memory, and as expected, it's positively
correlated with # of cache copies:

control 4 copies 8 copies 16 copies

mm: introduce new 'lock_mm_and_find_vma()' page fault helper

.. and make x86 use it.

This basically extracts the existing x86 "find and expand faulting vma"
code, but extends it to also take the mmap lock for writing in case we
actually do need to expand the vma.

We've historically short-circuited that case, and have some rather ugly
special logic to serialize the stack segment expansion (since we only
hold the mmap lock for reading) that doesn't match the normal VM
locking.

That slight violation of locking worked well, right up until it didn't:
the maple tree code really does want proper locking even for simple
extension of an existing vma.

So extract the code for "look up the vma of the fault" from x86, fix it
up to do the necessary write locking, and make it available as a helper
function for other architectures that can use the common helper.

Note: I say "common helper", but it really only handles the normal
stack-grows-down case. Which is all architectures except for PA-RISC
and IA64. So some rare architectures can't use the helper, but if they
care they'll just need to open-code this logic.

It's also worth pointing out that this code really would like to have an
optimistic "mmap_upgrade_trylock()" to make it quicker to go from a
read-lock (for the common case) to taking the write lock (for having to
extend the vma) in the normal single-threaded situation where there is
no other locking activity.

But that _is_ all the very uncommon special case, so while it would be
nice to have such an operation, it probably doesn't matter in reality.
I did put in the skeleton code for such a possible future expansion,
even if it only acts as pseudo-documentation for what we're doing.

mm: zswap: support exclusive loads

Commit 71024cb4a0bf ("frontswap: remove frontswap_tmem_exclusive_gets")
removed support for exclusive loads from frontswap as it was not used.
Bring back exclusive loads support to frontswap by adding an "exclusive"
output parameter to frontswap_ops->load.

On the zswap side, add a module parameter to enable/disable exclusive
loads, and a config option to control the boot default value. Refactor
zswap entry invalidation in zswap_frontswap_invalidate_page() into
zswap_invalidate_entry() to reuse it in zswap_frontswap_load() if
exclusive loads are enabled.

With exclusive loads, we avoid having two copies of the same page in
memory (compressed & uncompressed) after faulting it in from zswap. On
the other hand, if the page is to be reclaimed again without being
dirtied, it will be re-compressed. Compression is not usually slow, and a
page that was just faulted in is less likely to be reclaimed again soon.

mm: introduce CONFIG_PER_VMA_LOCK

Patch series "Per-VMA locks", v4.

LWN article describing the feature: https://lwn.net/Articles/906852/

Per-vma locks idea that was discussed during SPF [1] discussion at LSF/MM
last year [2], which concluded with suggestion that “a reader/writer
semaphore could be put into the VMA itself; that would have the effect of
using the VMA as a sort of range lock. There would still be contention at
the VMA level, but it would be an improvement.” This patchset implements
this suggested approach.

When handling page faults we lookup the VMA that contains the faulting
page under RCU protection and try to acquire its lock. If that fails we
fall back to using mmap_lock, similar to how SPF handled this situation.

One notable way the implementation deviates from the proposal is the way
VMAs are read-locked. During some of mm updates, multiple VMAs need to be
locked until the end of the update (e.g. vma_merge, split_vma, etc).
Tracking all the locked VMAs, avoiding recursive locks, figuring out when
it's safe to unlock previously locked VMAs would make the code more
complex. So, instead of the usual lock/unlock pattern, the proposed
solution marks a VMA as locked and provides an efficient way to:

1. Identify locked VMAs.

2. Unlock all locked VMAs in bulk.

We also postpone unlocking the locked VMAs until the end of the update,
when we do mmap_write_unlock. Potentially this keeps a VMA locked for
longer than is absolutely necessary but it results in a big reduction of
code complexity.

Read-locking a VMA is done using two sequence numbers - one in the
vm_area_struct and one in the mm_struct. VMA is considered read-locked
when these sequence numbers are equal. To read-lock a VMA we set the
sequence number in vm_area_struct to be equal to the sequence number in
mm_struct. To unlock all VMAs we increment mm_struct's seq number. This
allows for an efficient way to track locked VMAs and to drop the locks on
all VMAs at the end of the update.

The patchset implements per-VMA locking only for anonymous pages which are
not in swap and avoids userfaultfs as their implementation is more
complex. Additional support for file-back page faults, swapped and user
pages can be added incrementally.

Performance benchmarks show similar although slightly smaller benefits as
with SPF patchset (~75% of SPF benefits). Still, with lower complexity
this approach might be more desirable.

Since RFC was posted in September 2022, two separate Google teams outside
of Android evaluated the patchset and confirmed positive results. Here
are the known usecases when per-VMA locks show benefits:

Android:

Apps with high number of threads (~100) launch times improve by up to 20%.
Each thread mmaps several areas upon startup (Stack and Thread-local
storage (TLS), thread signal stack, indirect ref table), which requires
taking mmap_lock in write mode. Page faults take mmap_lock in read mode.
During app launch, both thread creation and page faults establishing the
active workinget are happening in parallel and that causes lock contention
between mm writers and readers even if updates and page faults are
happening in different VMAs. Per-vma locks prevent this contention by
providing more granular lock.

Google Fibers:

We have several dynamically sized thread pools that spawn new threads
under increased load and reduce their number when idling. For example,
Google's in-process scheduling/threading framework, UMCG/Fibers, is backed
by such a thread pool. When idling, only a small number of idle worker
threads are available; when a spike of incoming requests arrive, each
request is handled in its own "fiber", which is a work item posted onto a
UMCG worker thread; quite often these spikes lead to a number of new
threads spawning. Each new thread needs to allocate and register an RSEQ
section on its TLS, then register itself with the kernel as a UMCG worker
thread, and only after that it can be considered by the in-process
UMCG/Fiber scheduler as available to do useful work. In short, during an
incoming workload spike new threads have to be spawned, and they perform
several syscalls (RSEQ registration, UMCG worker registration, memory
allocations) before they can actually start doing useful work. Removing
any bottlenecks on this thread startup path will greatly improve our
services' latencies when faced with request/workload spikes.

At high scale, mmap_lock contention during thread creation and stack page
faults leads to user-visible multi-second serving latencies in a similar
pattern to Android app startup. Per-VMA locking patchset has been run
successfully in limited experiments with user-facing production workloads.
In these experiments, we observed that the peak thread creation rate was
high enough that thread creation is no longer a bottleneck.

TCP zerocopy receive:

From the point of view of TCP zerocopy receive, the per-vma lock patch is
massively beneficial.

In today's implementation, a process with N threads where N - 1 are
performing zerocopy receive and 1 thread is performing madvise() with the
write lock taken (e.g. needs to change vm_flags) will result in all N -1
receive threads blocking until the madvise is done. Conversely, on a busy
process receiving a lot of data, an madvise operation that does need to
take the mmap lock in write mode will need to wait for all of the receives
to be done - a lose:lose proposition. Per-VMA locking _removes_ by
definition this source of contention entirely.

There are other benefits for receive as well, chiefly a reduction in
cacheline bouncing across receiving threads for locking/unlocking the
single mmap lock. On an RPC style synthetic workload with 4KB RPCs:

1a) The find+lock+unlock VMA path in the base case, without the
per-vma lock patchset, is about 0.7% of cycles as measured by perf.

1b) mmap_read_lock + mmap_read_unlock in the base case is about 0.5%
cycles overall - most of this is within the TCP read hotpath (a small
fraction is 'other' usage in the system).

2a) The find+lock+unlock VMA path, with the per-vma patchset and a
trivial patch written to take advantage of it in TCP, is about 0.4% of
cycles (down from 0.7% above)

2b) mmap_read_lock + mmap_read_unlock in the per-vma patchset is <
0.1% cycles and is out of the TCP read hotpath entirely (down from
0.5% before, the remaining usage is the 'other' usage in the system).
So, in addition to entirely removing an onerous source of contention,
it also reduces the CPU cycles of TCP receive zerocopy by about 0.5%+
(compared to overall cycles in perf) for the 'small' RPC scenario.

In https://lkml.kernel.org/r/87fsaqouyd.fsf_-_@stealth, Punit
demonstrated throughput improvements of as much as 188% from this
patchset.


This patch (of 25):

This configuration variable will be used to build the support for VMA
locking during page fault handling.

This is enabled on supported architectures with SMP and MMU set.

The architecture support is needed since the page fault handler is called
from the architecture's page faulting code which needs modifications to
handle faults under VMA lock.

mm: Do not enable PG_arch_2 for all 64-bit architectures

Commit 4beba9486abd ("mm: Add PG_arch_2 page flag") introduced a new
page flag for all 64-bit architectures. However, even if an architecture
is 64-bit, it may still have limited spare bits in the 'flags' member of
'struct page'. This may happen if an architecture enables SPARSEMEM
without SPARSEMEM_VMEMMAP as is the case with the newly added loongarch.
This architecture port needs 19 more bits for the sparsemem section
information and, while it is currently fine with PG_arch_2, adding any
more PG_arch_* flags will trigger build-time warnings.

Add a new CONFIG_ARCH_USES_PG_ARCH_X option which can be selected by
architectures that need more PG_arch_* flags beyond PG_arch_1. Select it
on arm64.

mm: Kconfig: make config SECRETMEM visible with EXPERT

Commit 6a108a14fa35 ("kconfig: rename CONFIG_EMBEDDED to CONFIG_EXPERT")
introduces CONFIG_EXPERT to carry the previous intent of CONFIG_EMBEDDED
and just gives that intent a much better name. That has been clearly a
good and long overdue renaming, and it is clearly an improvement to the
kernel build configuration that has shown to help managing the kernel
build configuration in the last decade.

However, rather than bravely and radically just deleting CONFIG_EMBEDDED,
this commit gives CONFIG_EMBEDDED a new intended semantics, but keeps it
open for future contributors to implement that intended semantics:

A new CONFIG_EMBEDDED option is added that automatically selects
CONFIG_EXPERT when enabled and can be used in the future to isolate
options that should only be considered for embedded systems (RISC
architectures, SLOB, etc).

Since then, this CONFIG_EMBEDDED implicitly had two purposes:

- It can make even more options visible beyond what CONFIG_EXPERT makes
visible. In other words, it may introduce another level of enabling the
visibility of configuration options: always visible, visible with
CONFIG_EXPERT and visible with CONFIG_EMBEDDED.

- Set certain default values of some configurations differently,
following the assumption that configuring a kernel build for an
embedded system generally starts with a different set of default values
compared to kernel builds for all other kind of systems.

Considering the second purpose, note that already probably arguing that a
kernel build for an embedded system would choose some values differently
is already tricky: the set of embedded systems with Linux kernels is
already quite diverse. Many embedded system have powerful CPUs and it
would not be clear that all embedded systems just optimize towards one
specific aspect, e.g., a smaller kernel image size. So, it is unclear if
starting with "one set of default configuration" that is induced by
CONFIG_EMBEDDED is a good offer for developers configuring their kernels.

Also, the differences of needed user-space features in an embedded system
compared to a non-embedded system are probably difficult or even
impossible to name in some generic way.

So it is not surprising that in the last decade hardly anyone has
contributed changes to make something default differently in case of
CONFIG_EMBEDDED=y.

Currently, in v6.0-rc4, SECRETMEM is the only config switched off if
CONFIG_EMBEDDED=y.

As long as that is actually the only option that currently is selected or
deselected, it is better to just make SECRETMEM configurable at build time
by experts using menuconfig instead.

Make SECRETMEM configurable when EXPERT is set and otherwise default to
yes. Further, SECRETMEM needs ARCH_HAS_SET_DIRECT_MAP.

This allows us to remove CONFIG_EMBEDDED in the close future.

mm,hugetlb: use folio fields in second tail page

Patch series "mm,huge,rmap: unify and speed up compound mapcounts".


This patch (of 3):

We want to declare one more int in the first tail of a compound page: that
first tail page being valuable property, since every compound page has a
first tail, but perhaps no more than that.

No problem on 64-bit: there is already space for it. No problem with
32-bit THPs: 5.18 commit 5232c63f46fd ("mm: Make compound_pincount always
available") kindly cleared the space for it, apparently not realizing that
only 64-bit architectures enable CONFIG_THP_SWAP (whose use of tail
page->private might conflict) - but make sure of that in its Kconfig.

But hugetlb pages use tail page->private of the first tail page for a
subpool pointer, which will conflict; and they also use page->private of
the 2nd, 3rd and 4th tails.

Undo "mm: add private field of first tail to struct page and struct
folio"'s recent addition of private_1 to the folio tail: instead add
hugetlb_subpool, hugetlb_cgroup, hugetlb_cgroup_rsvd, hugetlb_hwpoison to
a second tail page of the folio: THP has long been using several fields of
that tail, so make better use of it for hugetlb too. This is not how a
generic folio should be declared in future, but it is an effective
transitional way to make use of it.

Delete the SUBPAGE_INDEX stuff, but keep __NR_USED_SUBPAGE: now 3.

mm: always compile in pte markers

Patch series "mm: Use pte marker for swapin errors".

This series uses the pte marker to replace the swapin error swap entry,
then we save one more swap entry slot for swap devices. A new pte marker
bit is defined.


This patch (of 2):

The PTE markers code is tiny and now it's enabled for most of the
distributions. It's fine to keep it as-is, but to make a broader use of
it (e.g. replacing read error swap entry) it needs to be there always
otherwise we need special code path to take care of !PTE_MARKER case.

It'll be easier just make pte marker always exist. Use this chance to
extend its usage to anonymous too by simply touching up some of the old
comments, because it'll be used for anonymous pages in the follow up
patches.

# 149b6fa2 11-Nov-2022 Vlastimil Babka <vbabka@suse.cz>

mm, slob: rename CONFIG_SLOB to CONFIG_SLOB_DEPRECATED

As explained in [1], we would like to remove SLOB if possible.

- There are no known users that need its somewhat lower memory footprint
so much that they cannot handle SLUB (after some modifications by the
previous patches) instead.

- It is an extra maintenance burden, and a number of features are
incompatible with it.

- It blocks the API improvement of allowing kfree() on objects allocated
via kmem_cache_alloc().

As the first step, rename the CONFIG_SLOB option in the slab allocator
configuration choice to CONFIG_SLOB_DEPRECATED. Add CONFIG_SLOB
depending on CONFIG_SLOB_DEPRECATED as an internal option to avoid code
churn. This will cause existing .config files and defconfigs with
CONFIG_SLOB=y to silently switch to the default (and recommended
replacement) SLUB, while still allowing SLOB to be configured by anyone
that notices and needs it. But those should contact the slab maintainers
and linux-mm@kvack.org as explained in the updated help. With no valid
objections, the plan is to update the existing defconfigs to SLUB and
remove SLOB in a few cycles.

To make SLUB more suitable replacement for SLOB, a CONFIG_SLUB_TINY
option was introduced to limit SLUB's memory overhead.
There is a number of defconfigs specifying CONFIG_SLOB=y. As part of
this patch, update them to select CONFIG_SLUB and CONFIG_SLUB_TINY.

mm, slub: add CONFIG_SLUB_TINY

For tiny systems that have used SLOB until now, SLUB might be
impractical due to its higher memory usage. To help with that, introduce
an option CONFIG_SLUB_TINY that modifies SLUB to use less memory.
This is done by sacrificing scalability, security and debugging
features, therefore not recommended for any system with more than 16MB
RAM.

This commit introduces the option and uses it to set other related
options in a way that reduces memory usage.

# 354ed597 18-Sep-2022 Yu Zhao <yuzhao@google.com>

mm: multi-gen LRU: kill switch

Add /sys/kernel/mm/lru_gen/enabled as a kill switch. Components that
can be disabled include:
0x0001: the multi-gen LRU core
0x0002: walking page table, when arch_has_hw_pte_young() returns
true
0x0004: clearing the accessed bit in non-leaf PMD entries, when
CONFIG_ARCH_HAS_NONLEAF_PMD_YOUNG=y
[yYnN]: apply to all the components above
E.g.,
echo y >/sys/kernel/mm/lru_gen/enabled
cat /sys/kernel/mm/lru_gen/enabled
0x0007
echo 5 >/sys/kernel/mm/lru_gen/enabled
cat /sys/kernel/mm/lru_gen/enabled
0x0005

NB: the page table walks happen on the scale of seconds under heavy memory
pressure, in which case the mmap_lock contention is a lesser concern,
compared with the LRU lock contention and the I/O congestion. So far the
only well-known case of the mmap_lock contention happens on Android, due
to Scudo [1] which allocates several thousand VMAs for merely a few
hundred MBs. The SPF and the Maple Tree also have provided their own
assessments [2][3]. However, if walking page tables does worsen the
mmap_lock contention, the kill switch can be used to disable it. In this
case the multi-gen LRU will suffer a minor performance degradation, as
shown previously.

Clearing the accessed bit in non-leaf PMD entries can also be disabled,
since this behavior was not tested on x86 varieties other than Intel and
AMD.

mm: multi-gen LRU: minimal implementation

To avoid confusion, the terms "promotion" and "demotion" will be applied
to the multi-gen LRU, as a new convention; the terms "activation" and
"deactivation" will be applied to the active/inactive LRU, as usual.

The aging produces young generations. Given an lruvec, it increments
max_seq when max_seq-min_seq+1 approaches MIN_NR_GENS. The aging promotes
hot pages to the youngest generation when it finds them accessed through
page tables; the demotion of cold pages happens consequently when it
increments max_seq. Promotion in the aging path does not involve any LRU
list operations, only the updates of the gen counter and
lrugen->nr_pages[]; demotion, unless as the result of the increment of
max_seq, requires LRU list operations, e.g., lru_deactivate_fn(). The
aging has the complexity O(nr_hot_pages), since it is only interested in
hot pages.

The eviction consumes old generations. Given an lruvec, it increments
min_seq when lrugen->lists[] indexed by min_seq%MAX_NR_GENS becomes empty.
A feedback loop modeled after the PID controller monitors refaults over
anon and file types and decides which type to evict when both types are
available from the same generation.

The protection of pages accessed multiple times through file descriptors
takes place in the eviction path. Each generation is divided into
multiple tiers. A page accessed N times through file descriptors is in
tier order_base_2(N). Tiers do not have dedicated lrugen->lists[], only
bits in folio->flags. The aforementioned feedback loop also monitors
refaults over all tiers and decides when to protect pages in which tiers
(N>1), using the first tier (N=0,1) as a baseline. The first tier
contains single-use unmapped clean pages, which are most likely the best
choices. In contrast to promotion in the aging path, the protection of a
page in the eviction path is achieved by moving this page to the next
generation, i.e., min_seq+1, if the feedback loop decides so. This
approach has the following advantages:

1. It removes the cost of activation in the buffered access path by
inferring whether pages accessed multiple times through file
descriptors are statistically hot and thus worth protecting in the
eviction path.
2. It takes pages accessed through page tables into account and avoids
overprotecting pages accessed multiple times through file
descriptors. (Pages accessed through page tables are in the first
tier, since N=0.)
3. More tiers provide better protection for pages accessed more than
twice through file descriptors, when under heavy buffered I/O
workloads.

# ec1c86b2 18-Sep-2022 Yu Zhao <yuzhao@google.com>

mm: multi-gen LRU: groundwork

Evictable pages are divided into multiple generations for each lruvec.
The youngest generation number is stored in lrugen->max_seq for both
anon and file types as they are aged on an equal footing. The oldest
generation numbers are stored in lrugen->min_seq[] separately for anon
and file types as clean file pages can be evicted regardless of swap
constraints. These three variables are monotonically increasing.

Generation numbers are truncated into order_base_2(MAX_NR_GENS+1) bits
in order to fit into the gen counter in folio->flags. Each truncated
generation number is an index to lrugen->lists[]. The sliding window
technique is used to track at least MIN_NR_GENS and at most
MAX_NR_GENS generations. The gen counter stores a value within [1,
MAX_NR_GENS] while a page is on one of lrugen->lists[]. Otherwise it
stores 0.

There are two conceptually independent procedures: "the aging", which
produces young generations, and "the eviction", which consumes old
generations. They form a closed-loop system, i.e., "the page reclaim".
Both procedures can be invoked from userspace for the purposes of working
set estimation and proactive reclaim. These techniques are commonly used
to optimize job scheduling (bin packing) in data centers [1][2].

To avoid confusion, the terms "hot" and "cold" will be applied to the
multi-gen LRU, as a new convention; the terms "active" and "inactive" will
be applied to the active/inactive LRU, as usual.

The protection of hot pages and the selection of cold pages are based
on page access channels and patterns. There are two access channels:
one through page tables and the other through file descriptors. The
protection of the former channel is by design stronger because:
1. The uncertainty in determining the access patterns of the former
channel is higher due to the approximation of the accessed bit.
2. The cost of evicting the former channel is higher due to the TLB
flushes required and the likelihood of encountering the dirty bit.
3. The penalty of underprotecting the former channel is higher because
applications usually do not prepare themselves for major page
faults like they do for blocked I/O. E.g., GUI applications
commonly use dedicated I/O threads to avoid blocking rendering
threads.

There are also two access patterns: one with temporal locality and the
other without. For the reasons listed above, the former channel is
assumed to follow the former pattern unless VM_SEQ_READ or VM_RAND_READ is
present; the latter channel is assumed to follow the latter pattern unless
outlying refaults have been observed [3][4].

The next patch will address the "outlying refaults". Three macros, i.e.,
LRU_REFS_WIDTH, LRU_REFS_PGOFF and LRU_REFS_MASK, used later are added in
this patch to make the entire patchset less diffy.

A page is added to the youngest generation on faulting. The aging needs
to check the accessed bit at least twice before handing this page over to
the eviction. The first check takes care of the accessed bit set on the
initial fault; the second check makes sure this page has not been used
since then. This protocol, AKA second chance, requires a minimum of two
generations, hence MIN_NR_GENS.

# 14b80582 20-May-2022 Dan Williams <dan.j.williams@intel.com>

resource: Introduce alloc_free_mem_region()

The core of devm_request_free_mem_region() is a helper that searches for
free space in iomem_resource and performs __request_region_locked() on
the result of that search. The policy choices of the implementation
conform to what CONFIG_DEVICE_PRIVATE users want which is memory that is
immediately marked busy, and a preference to search for the first-fit
free range in descending order from the top of the physical address
space.

CXL has a need for a similar allocator, but with the following tweaks:

1/ Search for free space in ascending order

2/ Search for free space relative to a given CXL window

3/ 'insert' rather than 'request' the new resource given downstream
drivers from the CXL Region driver (like the pmem or dax drivers) are
responsible for request_mem_region() when they activate the memory
range.

Rework __request_free_mem_region() into get_free_mem_region() which
takes a set of GFR_* (Get Free Region) flags to control the allocation
policy (ascending vs descending), and "busy" policy (insert_resource()
vs request_region()).

As part of the consolidation of the legacy GFR_REQUEST_REGION case with
the new default of just inserting a new resource into the free space
some minor cleanups like not checking for NULL before calling
devres_free() (which does its own check) is included.

arch/*/: remove CONFIG_VIRT_TO_BUS

All architecture-independent users of virt_to_bus() and bus_to_virt()
have been fixed to use the dma mapping interfaces or have been
removed now. This means the definitions on most architectures, and the
CONFIG_VIRT_TO_BUS symbol are now obsolete and can be removed.

The only exceptions to this are a few network and scsi drivers for m68k
Amiga and VME machines and ppc32 Macintosh. These drivers work correctly
with the old interfaces and are probably not worth changing.

On alpha and parisc, virt_to_bus() were still used in asm/floppy.h.
alpha can use isa_virt_to_bus() like x86 does, and parisc can just
open-code the virt_to_phys() here, as this is architecture specific
code.

I tried updating the bus-virt-phys-mapping.rst documentation, which
started as an email from Linus to explain some details of the Linux-2.0
driver interfaces. The bits about virt_to_bus() were declared obsolete
backin 2000, and the rest is not all that relevant any more, so in the
end I just decided to remove the file completely.

# 430529b5 12-May-2022 Peter Xu <peterx@redhat.com>

mm/uffd: move USERFAULTFD configs into mm/

We used to have USERFAULTFD configs stored in init/. It makes sense as a
start because that's the default place for storing syscall related
configs.

However userfaultfd evolved a bit in the past few years and some more
config options were added. They're no longer related to syscalls and
start to be not suitable to be kept in the init/ directory anymore,
because they're pure mm concepts.

But it's not ideal either to keep the userfaultfd configs separate from
each other. Hence this patch moves the userfaultfd configs under init/ to
be under mm/ so that we'll start to group all userfaultfd configs
together.

We do have quite a few examples of syscall related configs that are not
put under init/Kconfig: FTRACE_SYSCALLS, SWAP, FILE_LOCKING,
MEMFD_CREATE.. They all reside in the dir where they're more suitable for
the concept. So it seems there's no restriction to keep the role of
having syscall related CONFIG_* under init/ only.

mm/uffd: PTE_MARKER_UFFD_WP

This patch introduces the 1st user of pte marker: the uffd-wp marker.

When the pte marker is installed with the uffd-wp bit set, it means this
pte was wr-protected by uffd.

We will use this special pte to arm the ptes that got either unmapped or
swapped out for a file-backed region that was previously wr-protected.
This special pte could trigger a page fault just like swap entries.

This idea is greatly inspired by Hugh and Andrea in the discussion, which
is referenced in the links below.

Some helpers are introduced to detect whether a swap pte is uffd
wr-protected. After the pte marker introduced, one swap pte can be
wr-protected in two forms: either it is a normal swap pte and it has
_PAGE_SWP_UFFD_WP set, or it's a pte marker that has PTE_MARKER_UFFD_WP
set.

# 679d1033 12-May-2022 Peter Xu <peterx@redhat.com>

mm: introduce PTE_MARKER swap entry

Patch series "userfaultfd-wp: Support shmem and hugetlbfs", v8.


Overview
========

Userfaultfd-wp anonymous support was merged two years ago. There're quite
a few applications that started to leverage this capability either to take
snapshots for user-app memory, or use it for full user controled swapping.

This series tries to complete the feature for uffd-wp so as to cover all
the RAM-based memory types. So far uffd-wp is the only missing piece of
the rest features (uffd-missing & uffd-minor mode).

One major reason to do so is that anonymous pages are sometimes not
satisfying the need of applications, and there're growing users of either
shmem and hugetlbfs for either sharing purpose (e.g., sharing guest mem
between hypervisor process and device emulation process, shmem local live
migration for upgrades), or for performance on tlb hits.

All these mean that if a uffd-wp app wants to switch to any of the memory
types, it'll stop working. I think it's worthwhile to have the kernel to
cover all these aspects.

This series chose to protect pages in pte level not page level.

One major reason is safety. I have no idea how we could make it safe if
any of the uffd-privileged app can wr-protect a page that any other
application can use. It means this app can block any process potentially
for any time it wants.

The other reason is that it aligns very well with not only the anonymous
uffd-wp solution, but also uffd as a whole. For example, userfaultfd is
implemented fundamentally based on VMAs. We set flags to VMAs showing the
status of uffd tracking. For another per-page based protection solution,
it'll be crossing the fundation line on VMA-based, and it could simply be
too far away already from what's called userfaultfd.

PTE markers
===========

The patchset is based on the idea called PTE markers. It was discussed in
one of the mm alignment sessions, proposed starting from v6, and this is
the 2nd version of it using PTE marker idea.

PTE marker is a new type of swap entry that is ony applicable to file
backed memories like shmem and hugetlbfs. It's used to persist some
pte-level information even if the original present ptes in pgtable are
zapped.

Logically pte markers can store more than uffd-wp information, but so far
only one bit is used for uffd-wp purpose. When the pte marker is
installed with uffd-wp bit set, it means this pte is wr-protected by uffd.

It solves the problem on e.g. file-backed memory mapped ptes got zapped
due to any reason (e.g. thp split, or swapped out), we can still keep the
wr-protect information in the ptes. Then when the page fault triggers
again, we'll know this pte is wr-protected so we can treat the pte the
same as a normal uffd wr-protected pte.

The extra information is encoded into the swap entry, or swp_offset to be
explicit, with the swp_type being PTE_MARKER. So far uffd-wp only uses
one bit out of the swap entry, the rest bits of swp_offset are still
reserved for other purposes.

There're two configs to enable/disable PTE markers:

CONFIG_PTE_MARKER
CONFIG_PTE_MARKER_UFFD_WP

We can set !PTE_MARKER to completely disable all the PTE markers, along
with uffd-wp support. I made two config so we can also enable PTE marker
but disable uffd-wp file-backed for other purposes. At the end of current
series, I'll enable CONFIG_PTE_MARKER by default, but that patch is
standalone and if anyone worries about having it by default, we can also
consider turn it off by dropping that oneliner patch. So far I don't see
a huge risk of doing so, so I kept that patch.

In most cases, PTE markers should be treated as none ptes. It is because
that unlike most of the other swap entry types, there's no PFN or block
offset information encoded into PTE markers but some extra well-defined
bits showing the status of the pte. These bits should only be used as
extra data when servicing an upcoming page fault, and then we behave as if
it's a none pte.

I did spend a lot of time observing all the pte_none() users this time.
It is indeed a challenge because there're a lot, and I hope I didn't miss
a single of them when we should take care of pte markers. Luckily, I
don't think it'll need to be considered in many cases, for example: boot
code, arch code (especially non-x86), kernel-only page handlings (e.g.
CPA), or device driver codes when we're tackling with pure PFN mappings.

I introduced pte_none_mostly() in this series when we need to handle pte
markers the same as none pte, the "mostly" is the other way to write
"either none pte or a pte marker".

I didn't replace pte_none() to cover pte markers for below reasons:

- Very rare case of pte_none() callers will handle pte markers. E.g., all
the kernel pages do not require knowledge of pte markers. So we don't
pollute the major use cases.

- Unconditionally change pte_none() semantics could confuse people, because
pte_none() existed for so long a time.

- Unconditionally change pte_none() semantics could make pte_none() slower
even if in many cases pte markers do not exist.

- There're cases where we'd like to handle pte markers differntly from
pte_none(), so a full replace is also impossible. E.g. khugepaged should
still treat pte markers as normal swap ptes rather than none ptes, because
pte markers will always need a fault-in to merge the marker with a valid
pte. Or the smap code will need to parse PTE markers not none ptes.

Patch Layout
============

Introducing PTE marker and uffd-wp bit in PTE marker:

mm: Introduce PTE_MARKER swap entry
mm: Teach core mm about pte markers
mm: Check against orig_pte for finish_fault()
mm/uffd: PTE_MARKER_UFFD_WP

Adding support for shmem uffd-wp:

mm/shmem: Take care of UFFDIO_COPY_MODE_WP
mm/shmem: Handle uffd-wp special pte in page fault handler
mm/shmem: Persist uffd-wp bit across zapping for file-backed
mm/shmem: Allow uffd wr-protect none pte for file-backed mem
mm/shmem: Allows file-back mem to be uffd wr-protected on thps
mm/shmem: Handle uffd-wp during fork()

Adding support for hugetlbfs uffd-wp:

mm/hugetlb: Introduce huge pte version of uffd-wp helpers
mm/hugetlb: Hook page faults for uffd write protection
mm/hugetlb: Take care of UFFDIO_COPY_MODE_WP
mm/hugetlb: Handle UFFDIO_WRITEPROTECT
mm/hugetlb: Handle pte markers in page faults
mm/hugetlb: Allow uffd wr-protect none ptes
mm/hugetlb: Only drop uffd-wp special pte if required

Misc handling on the rest mm for uffd-wp file-backed:

mm/khugepaged: Don't recycle vma pgtable if uffd-wp registered
mm/pagemap: Recognize uffd-wp bit for shmem/hugetlbfs

Enabling of uffd-wp on file-backed memory:

mm/uffd: Enable write protection for shmem & hugetlbfs
mm: Enable PTE markers by default
selftests/uffd: Enable uffd-wp for shmem/hugetlbfs

Tests
=====

- Compile test on x86_64 and aarch64 on different configs
- Kernel selftests
- uffd-test [0]
- Umapsort [1,2] test for shmem/hugetlb, with swap on/off

[0] https://github.com/xzpeter/clibs/tree/master/uffd-test
[1] https://github.com/xzpeter/umap-apps/tree/peter
[2] https://github.com/xzpeter/umap/tree/peter-shmem-hugetlbfs


This patch (of 23):

Introduces a new swap entry type called PTE_MARKER. It can be installed
for any pte that maps a file-backed memory when the pte is temporarily
zapped, so as to maintain per-pte information.

The information that kept in the pte is called a "marker". Here we define
the marker as "unsigned long" just to match pgoff_t, however it will only
work if it still fits in swp_offset(), which is e.g. currently 58 bits on
x86_64.

A new config CONFIG_PTE_MARKER is introduced too; it's by default off. A
bunch of helpers are defined altogether to service the rest of the pte
marker code.

# 67436193 29-Apr-2022 Anshuman Khandual <anshuman.khandual@arm.com>

mm/mmap: add new config ARCH_HAS_VM_GET_PAGE_PROT

Patch series "mm/mmap: Drop arch_vm_get_page_prot() and arch_filter_pgprot()", v7.

protection_map[] is an array based construct that translates given
vm_flags combination. This array contains page protection map, which is
populated by the platform via [__S000 .. __S111] and [__P000 .. __P111]
exported macros. Primary usage for protection_map[] is for
vm_get_page_prot(), which is used to determine page protection value for a
given vm_flags. vm_get_page_prot() implementation, could again call
platform overrides arch_vm_get_page_prot() and arch_filter_pgprot(). Some
platforms override protection_map[] that was originally built with
__SXXX/__PXXX with different runtime values.

Currently there are multiple layers of abstraction i.e __SXXX/__PXXX
macros , protection_map[], arch_vm_get_page_prot() and
arch_filter_pgprot() built between the platform and generic MM, finally
defining vm_get_page_prot().

Hence this series proposes to drop later two abstraction levels and
instead just move the responsibility of defining vm_get_page_prot() to the
platform (still utilizing generic protection_map[] array) itself making it
clean and simple.

This first introduces ARCH_HAS_VM_GET_PAGE_PROT which enables the
platforms to define custom vm_get_page_prot(). This starts converting
platforms that define the overrides arch_filter_pgprot() or
arch_vm_get_page_prot() which enables for those constructs to be dropped
off completely.

The series has been inspired from an earlier discuss with Christoph Hellwig

https://lore.kernel.org/all/1632712920-8171-1-git-send-email-anshuman.khandual@arm.com/


This patch (of 7):

Add a new config ARCH_HAS_VM_GET_PAGE_PROT, which when subscribed enables
a given platform to define its own vm_get_page_prot() but still utilizing
the generic protection_map[] array.

mm: enforce pageblock_order < MAX_ORDER

Some places in the kernel don't really expect pageblock_order >=
MAX_ORDER, and it looks like this is only possible in corner cases:

1) CONFIG_DEFERRED_STRUCT_PAGE_INIT we'll end up freeing pageblock_order
pages via __free_pages_core(), which cannot possibly work.

2) find_zone_movable_pfns_for_nodes() will roundup the ZONE_MOVABLE
start PFN to MAX_ORDER_NR_PAGES. Consequently with a bigger
pageblock_order, we could have a single pageblock partially managed by
two zones.

3) compaction code runs into __fragmentation_index() with order
>= MAX_ORDER, when checking WARN_ON_ONCE(order >= MAX_ORDER). [1]

4) mm/page_reporting.c won't be reporting any pages with default
page_reporting_order == pageblock_order, as we'll be skipping the
reporting loop inside page_reporting_process_zone().

5) __rmqueue_fallback() will never be able to steal with
ALLOC_NOFRAGMENT.

pageblock_order >= MAX_ORDER is weird either way: it's a pure
optimization for making alloc_contig_range(), as used for allcoation of
gigantic pages, a little more reliable to succeed. However, if there is
demand for somewhat reliable allocation of gigantic pages, affected
setups should be using CMA or boottime allocations instead.

So let's make sure that pageblock_order < MAX_ORDER and simplify.

# 27674ef6 15-Feb-2022 Christoph Hellwig <hch@lst.de>

mm: remove the extra ZONE_DEVICE struct page refcount

ZONE_DEVICE struct pages have an extra reference count that complicates
the code for put_page() and several places in the kernel that need to
check the reference count to see that a page is not being used (gup,
compaction, migration, etc.). Clean up the code so the reference count
doesn't need to be treated specially for ZONE_DEVICE pages.

Note that this excludes the special idle page wakeup for fsdax pages,
which still happens at refcount 1. This is a separate issue and will
be sorted out later. Given that only fsdax pages require the
notifiacation when the refcount hits 1 now, the PAGEMAP_OPS Kconfig
symbol can go away and be replaced with a FS_DAX check for this hook
in the put_page fastpath.

Based on an earlier patch from Ralph Campbell <rcampbell@nvidia.com>.

# 2792d84e 16-Feb-2022 Kees Cook <keescook@chromium.org>

usercopy: Check valid lifetime via stack depth

One of the things that CONFIG_HARDENED_USERCOPY sanity-checks is whether
an object that is about to be copied to/from userspace is overlapping
the stack at all. If it is, it performs a number of inexpensive
bounds checks. One of the finer-grained checks is whether an object
crosses stack frames within the stack region. Doing this on x86 with
CONFIG_FRAME_POINTER was cheap/easy. Doing it with ORC was deemed too
heavy, and was left out (a while ago), leaving the courser whole-stack
check.

The LKDTM tests USERCOPY_STACK_FRAME_TO and USERCOPY_STACK_FRAME_FROM
try to exercise these cross-frame cases to validate the defense is
working. They have been failing ever since ORC was added (which was
expected). While Muhammad was investigating various LKDTM failures[1],
he asked me for additional details on them, and I realized that when
exact stack frame boundary checking is not available (i.e. everything
except x86 with FRAME_POINTER), it could check if a stack object is at
least "current depth valid", in the sense that any object within the
stack region but not between start-of-stack and current_stack_pointer
should be considered unavailable (i.e. its lifetime is from a call no
longer present on the stack).

Introduce ARCH_HAS_CURRENT_STACK_POINTER to track which architectures
have actually implemented the common global register alias.

Additionally report usercopy bounds checking failures with an offset
from current_stack_pointer, which may assist with diagnosing failures.

The LKDTM USERCOPY_STACK_FRAME_TO and USERCOPY_STACK_FRAME_FROM tests
(once slightly adjusted in a separate patch) pass again with this fixed.

mm: percpu: generalize percpu related config

Patch series "mm: percpu: Cleanup percpu first chunk function".

When supporting page mapping percpu first chunk allocator on arm64, we
found there are lots of duplicated codes in percpu embed/page first chunk
allocator. This patchset is aimed to cleanup them and should no function
change.

The currently supported status about 'embed' and 'page' in Archs shows
below,

embed: NEED_PER_CPU_PAGE_FIRST_CHUNK
page: NEED_PER_CPU_EMBED_FIRST_CHUNK

embed page
------------------------
arm64 Y Y
mips Y N
powerpc Y Y
riscv Y N
sparc Y Y
x86 Y Y
------------------------

There are two interfaces about percpu first chunk allocator,

extern int __init pcpu_embed_first_chunk(size_t reserved_size, size_t dyn_size,
size_t atom_size,
pcpu_fc_cpu_distance_fn_t cpu_distance_fn,
- pcpu_fc_alloc_fn_t alloc_fn,
- pcpu_fc_free_fn_t free_fn);
+ pcpu_fc_cpu_to_node_fn_t cpu_to_nd_fn);

extern int __init pcpu_page_first_chunk(size_t reserved_size,
- pcpu_fc_alloc_fn_t alloc_fn,
- pcpu_fc_free_fn_t free_fn,
- pcpu_fc_populate_pte_fn_t populate_pte_fn);
+ pcpu_fc_cpu_to_node_fn_t cpu_to_nd_fn);

The pcpu_fc_alloc_fn_t/pcpu_fc_free_fn_t is killed, we provide generic
pcpu_fc_alloc() and pcpu_fc_free() function, which are called in the
pcpu_embed/page_first_chunk().

1) For pcpu_embed_first_chunk(), pcpu_fc_cpu_to_node_fn_t is needed to be
provided when archs supported NUMA.

2) For pcpu_page_first_chunk(), the pcpu_fc_populate_pte_fn_t is killed too,
a generic pcpu_populate_pte() which marked '__weak' is provided, if you
need a different function to populate pte on the arch(like x86), please
provide its own implementation.

Move them into mm, drop these redundant definitions and instead just

# 9a10064f 14-Jan-2022 Colin Cross <ccross@google.com>

mm: add a field to store names for private anonymous memory

In many userspace applications, and especially in VM based applications
like Android uses heavily, there are multiple different allocators in
use. At a minimum there is libc malloc and the stack, and in many cases
there are libc malloc, the stack, direct syscalls to mmap anonymous
memory, and multiple VM heaps (one for small objects, one for big
objects, etc.). Each of these layers usually has its own tools to
inspect its usage; malloc by compiling a debug version, the VM through
heap inspection tools, and for direct syscalls there is usually no way
to track them.

On Android we heavily use a set of tools that use an extended version of
the logic covered in Documentation/vm/pagemap.txt to walk all pages
mapped in userspace and slice their usage by process, shared (COW) vs.
unique mappings, backing, etc. This can account for real physical
memory usage even in cases like fork without exec (which Android uses
heavily to share as many private COW pages as possible between
processes), Kernel SamePage Merging, and clean zero pages. It produces
a measurement of the pages that only exist in that process (USS, for
unique), and a measurement of the physical memory usage of that process
with the cost of shared pages being evenly split between processes that
share them (PSS).

If all anonymous memory is indistinguishable then figuring out the real
physical memory usage (PSS) of each heap requires either a pagemap
walking tool that can understand the heap debugging of every layer, or
for every layer's heap debugging tools to implement the pagemap walking
logic, in which case it is hard to get a consistent view of memory
across the whole system.

Tracking the information in userspace leads to all sorts of problems.
It either needs to be stored inside the process, which means every
process has to have an API to export its current heap information upon
request, or it has to be stored externally in a filesystem that somebody
needs to clean up on crashes. It needs to be readable while the process
is still running, so it has to have some sort of synchronization with
every layer of userspace. Efficiently tracking the ranges requires
reimplementing something like the kernel vma trees, and linking to it
from every layer of userspace. It requires more memory, more syscalls,
more runtime cost, and more complexity to separately track regions that
the kernel is already tracking.

This patch adds a field to /proc/pid/maps and /proc/pid/smaps to show a
userspace-provided name for anonymous vmas. The names of named
anonymous vmas are shown in /proc/pid/maps and /proc/pid/smaps as
[anon:<name>].

Userspace can set the name for a region of memory by calling

prctl(PR_SET_VMA, PR_SET_VMA_ANON_NAME, start, len, (unsigned long)name)

Setting the name to NULL clears it. The name length limit is 80 bytes
including NUL-terminator and is checked to contain only printable ascii
characters (including space), except '[',']','\','$' and '`'.

Ascii strings are being used to have a descriptive identifiers for vmas,
which can be understood by the users reading /proc/pid/maps or
/proc/pid/smaps. Names can be standardized for a given system and they
can include some variable parts such as the name of the allocator or a
library, tid of the thread using it, etc.

The name is stored in a pointer in the shared union in vm_area_struct
that points to a null terminated string. Anonymous vmas with the same
name (equivalent strings) and are otherwise mergeable will be merged.
The name pointers are not shared between vmas even if they contain the
same name. The name pointer is stored in a union with fields that are
only used on file-backed mappings, so it does not increase memory usage.

CONFIG_ANON_VMA_NAME kernel configuration is introduced to enable this
feature. It keeps the feature disabled by default to prevent any
additional memory overhead and to avoid confusing procfs parsers on
systems which are not ready to support named anonymous vmas.

The patch is based on the original patch developed by Colin Cross, more
specifically on its latest version [1] posted upstream by Sumit Semwal.
It used a userspace pointer to store vma names. In that design, name
pointers could be shared between vmas. However during the last
upstreaming attempt, Kees Cook raised concerns [2] about this approach
and suggested to copy the name into kernel memory space, perform
validity checks [3] and store as a string referenced from
vm_area_struct.

One big concern is about fork() performance which would need to strdup
anonymous vma names. Dave Hansen suggested experimenting with
worst-case scenario of forking a process with 64k vmas having longest
possible names [4]. I ran this experiment on an ARM64 Android device
and recorded a worst-case regression of almost 40% when forking such a
process.

This regression is addressed in the followup patch which replaces the
pointer to a name with a refcounted structure that allows sharing the
name pointer between vmas of the same name. Instead of duplicating the
string during fork() or when splitting a vma it increments the refcount.

Changes for prctl(2) manual page (in the options section):

PR_SET_VMA
Sets an attribute specified in arg2 for virtual memory areas
starting from the address specified in arg3 and spanning the
size specified in arg4. arg5 specifies the value of the attribute
to be set. Note that assigning an attribute to a virtual memory
area might prevent it from being merged with adjacent virtual
memory areas due to the difference in that attribute's value.

Currently, arg2 must be one of:

PR_SET_VMA_ANON_NAME
Set a name for anonymous virtual memory areas. arg5 should
be a pointer to a null-terminated string containing the
name. The name length including null byte cannot exceed
80 bytes. If arg5 is NULL, the name of the appropriate
anonymous virtual memory areas will be reset. The name
can contain only printable ascii characters (including
space), except '[',']','\','$' and '`'.

This feature is available only if the kernel is built with
the CONFIG_ANON_VMA_NAME option enabled.

kmap_local: don't assume kmap PTEs are linear arrays in memory

The kmap_local conversion broke the ARM architecture, because the new
code assumes that all PTEs used for creating kmaps form a linear array
in memory, and uses array indexing to look up the kmap PTE belonging to
a certain kmap index.

On ARM, this cannot work, not only because the PTE pages may be
non-adjacent in memory, but also because ARM/!LPAE interleaves hardware
entries and extended entries (carrying software-only bits) in a way that
is not compatible with array indexing.

Fortunately, this only seems to affect configurations with more than 8
CPUs, due to the way the per-CPU kmap slots are organized in memory.

Work around this by permitting an architecture to set a Kconfig symbol
that signifies that the kmap PTEs do not form a lineary array in memory,
and so the only way to locate the appropriate one is to walk the page
tables.

kernel/resource: disallow access to exclusive system RAM regions

virtio-mem dynamically exposes memory inside a device memory region as
system RAM to Linux, coordinating with the hypervisor which parts are
actually "plugged" and consequently usable/accessible.

On the one hand, the virtio-mem driver adds/removes whole memory blocks,
creating/removing busy IORESOURCE_SYSTEM_RAM resources, on the other
hand, it logically (un)plugs memory inside added memory blocks,
dynamically either exposing them to the buddy or hiding them from the
buddy and marking them PG_offline.

In contrast to physical devices, like a DIMM, the virtio-mem driver is
required to actually make use of any of the device-provided memory,
because it performs the handshake with the hypervisor. virtio-mem
memory cannot simply be access via /dev/mem without a driver.

There is no safe way to:
a) Access plugged memory blocks via /dev/mem, as they might contain
unplugged holes or might get silently unplugged by the virtio-mem
driver and consequently turned inaccessible.
b) Access unplugged memory blocks via /dev/mem because the virtio-mem
driver is required to make them actually accessible first.

The virtio-spec states that unplugged memory blocks MUST NOT be written,
and only selected unplugged memory blocks MAY be read. We want to make
sure, this is the case in sane environments -- where the virtio-mem driver
was loaded.

We want to make sure that in a sane environment, nobody "accidentially"
accesses unplugged memory inside the device managed region. For example,
a user might spot a memory region in /proc/iomem and try accessing it via
/dev/mem via gdb or dumping it via something else. By the time the mmap()
happens, the memory might already have been removed by the virtio-mem
driver silently: the mmap() would succeeed and user space might
accidentially access unplugged memory.

So once the driver was loaded and detected the device along the
device-managed region, we just want to disallow any access via /dev/mem to
it.

In an ideal world, we would mark the whole region as busy ("owned by a
driver") and exclude it; however, that would be wrong, as we don't really
have actual system RAM at these ranges added to Linux ("busy system RAM").
Instead, we want to mark such ranges as "not actual busy system RAM but
still soft-reserved and prepared by a driver for future use."

Let's teach iomem_is_exclusive() to reject access to any range with
"IORESOURCE_SYSTEM_RAM | IORESOURCE_EXCLUSIVE", even if not busy and even
if "iomem=relaxed" is set. Introduce EXCLUSIVE_SYSTEM_RAM to make it
easier for applicable drivers to depend on this setting in their Kconfig.

For now, there are no applicable ranges and we'll modify virtio-mem next
to properly set IORESOURCE_EXCLUSIVE on the parent resource container it
creates to contain all actual busy system RAM added via
add_memory_driver_managed().

mm/memory_hotplug: restrict CONFIG_MEMORY_HOTPLUG to 64 bit

32 bit support is broken in various ways: for example, we can online
memory that should actually go to ZONE_HIGHMEM to ZONE_MOVABLE or in
some cases even to one of the other kernel zones.

We marked it BROKEN in commit b59d02ed0869 ("mm/memory_hotplug: disable
the functionality for 32b") almost one year ago. According to that
commit it might be broken at least since 2017. Further, there is hardly
a sane use case nowadays.

Let's just depend completely on 64bit, dropping the "BROKEN" dependency
to make clear that we are not going to support it again. Next, we'll
remove some HIGHMEM leftovers from memory hotplug code to clean up.

mm/memory_hotplug: remove CONFIG_X86_64_ACPI_NUMA dependency from CONFIG_MEMORY_HOTPLUG

Patch series "mm/memory_hotplug: Kconfig and 32 bit cleanups".

Some cleanups around CONFIG_MEMORY_HOTPLUG, including removing 32 bit
leftovers of memory hotplug support.

This patch (of 6):

SPARSEMEM is the only possible memory model for x86-64, FLATMEM is not
possible:

config ARCH_FLATMEM_ENABLE
def_bool y
depends on X86_32 && !NUMA

And X86_64_ACPI_NUMA (obviously) only supports x86-64:

config X86_64_ACPI_NUMA
def_bool y
depends on X86_64 && NUMA && ACPI && PCI

Let's just remove the CONFIG_X86_64_ACPI_NUMA dependency, as it does no
longer make sense.

mm: disable NUMA_BALANCING_DEFAULT_ENABLED and TRANSPARENT_HUGEPAGE on PREEMPT_RT

TRANSPARENT_HUGEPAGE:
There are potential non-deterministic delays to an RT thread if a
critical memory region is not THP-aligned and a non-RT buffer is
located in the same hugepage-aligned region. It's also possible for an
unrelated thread to migrate pages belonging to an RT task incurring
unexpected page faults due to memory defragmentation even if
khugepaged is disabled.

Regular HUGEPAGEs are not affected by this can be used.

NUMA_BALANCING:
There is a non-deterministic delay to mark PTEs PROT_NONE to gather
NUMA fault samples, increased page faults of regions even if mlocked
and non-deterministic delays when migrating pages.

mm/idle_page_tracking: make PG_idle reusable

PG_idle and PG_young allow the two PTE Accessed bit users, Idle Page
Tracking and the reclaim logic concurrently work while not interfering
with each other. That is, when they need to clear the Accessed bit, they
set PG_young to represent the previous state of the bit, respectively.
And when they need to read the bit, if the bit is cleared, they further
read the PG_young to know whether the other has cleared the bit meanwhile
or not.

For yet another user of the PTE Accessed bit, we could add another page
flag, or extend the mechanism to use the flags. For the DAMON usecase,
however, we don't need to do that just yet. IDLE_PAGE_TRACKING and DAMON
are mutually exclusive, so there's only ever going to be one user of the
current set of flags.

In this commit, we split out the CONFIG options to allow for the use of
PG_young and PG_idle outside of idle page tracking.

In the next commit, DAMON's reference implementation of the virtual memory
address space monitoring primitives will use it.

# 2224d848 07-Sep-2021 SeongJae Park <sjpark@amazon.de>

mm: introduce Data Access MONitor (DAMON)

Patch series "Introduce Data Access MONitor (DAMON)", v34.

Introduction
============

DAMON is a data access monitoring framework for the Linux kernel. The
core mechanisms of DAMON called 'region based sampling' and 'adaptive
regions adjustment' (refer to 'mechanisms.rst' in the 11th patch of this
patchset for the detail) make it

- accurate (The monitored information is useful for DRAM level memory
management. It might not appropriate for Cache-level accuracy,
though.),

- light-weight (The monitoring overhead is low enough to be applied
online while making no impact on the performance of the target
workloads.), and

- scalable (the upper-bound of the instrumentation overhead is
controllable regardless of the size of target workloads.).

Using this framework, therefore, several memory management mechanisms such
as reclamation and THP can be optimized to aware real data access
patterns. Experimental access pattern aware memory management
optimization works that incurring high instrumentation overhead will be
able to have another try.

Though DAMON is for kernel subsystems, it can be easily exposed to the
user space by writing a DAMON-wrapper kernel subsystem. Then, user space
users who have some special workloads will be able to write personalized
tools or applications for deeper understanding and specialized
optimizations of their systems.

DAMON is also merged in two public Amazon Linux kernel trees that based on
v5.4.y[1] and v5.10.y[2].

[1] https://github.com/amazonlinux/linux/tree/amazon-5.4.y/master/mm/damon
[2] https://github.com/amazonlinux/linux/tree/amazon-5.10.y/master/mm/damon

The userspace tool[1] is available, released under GPLv2, and actively
being maintained. I am also planning to implement another basic user
interface in perf[2]. Also, the basic test suite for DAMON is available
under GPLv2[3].

Long-term Plan
--------------

DAMON is a part of a project called Data Access-aware Operating System
(DAOS). As the name implies, I want to improve the performance and
efficiency of systems using fine-grained data access patterns. The
optimizations are for both kernel and user spaces. I will therefore
modify or create kernel subsystems, export some of those to user space and
implement user space library / tools. Below shows the layers and
components for the project.

Primitives: PTE Accessed bit, PG_idle, rmap, (Intel CMT), ...
Framework: DAMON
Features: DAMOS, virtual addr, physical addr, ...
Applications: DAMON-debugfs, (DARC), ...

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

The components in parentheses or marked as '...' are not implemented yet
but in the future plan. IOW, those are the TODO tasks of DAOS project.
For more detail, please refer to the plans:
https://lore.kernel.org/linux-mm/20201202082731.24828-1-sjpark@amazon.com/

Evaluations
===========

We evaluated DAMON's overhead, monitoring quality and usefulness using 24
realistic workloads on my QEMU/KVM based virtual machine running a kernel
that v24 DAMON patchset is applied.

DAMON is lightweight. It increases system memory usage by 0.39% and slows
target workloads down by 1.16%.

DAMON is accurate and useful for memory management optimizations. An
experimental DAMON-based operation scheme for THP, namely 'ethp', removes
76.15% of THP memory overheads while preserving 51.25% of THP speedup.
Another experimental DAMON-based 'proactive reclamation' implementation,
'prcl', reduces 93.38% of residential sets and 23.63% of system memory
footprint while incurring only 1.22% runtime overhead in the best case
(parsec3/freqmine).

NOTE that the experimental THP optimization and proactive reclamation are
not for production but only for proof of concepts.

Please refer to the official document[1] or "Documentation/admin-guide/mm:
Add a document for DAMON" patch in this patchset for detailed evaluation
setup and results.

[1] https://damonitor.github.io/doc/html/latest-damon/admin-guide/mm/damon/eval.html

Real-world User Story
=====================

In summary, DAMON has used on production systems and proved its usefulness.

DAMON as a profiler
-------------------

We analyzed characteristics of a large scale production systems of our
customers using DAMON. The systems utilize 70GB DRAM and 36 CPUs. From
this, we were able to find interesting things below.

There were obviously different access pattern under idle workload and
active workload. Under the idle workload, it accessed large memory
regions with low frequency, while the active workload accessed small
memory regions with high freuqnecy.

DAMON found a 7GB memory region that showing obviously high access
frequency under the active workload. We believe this is the
performance-effective working set and need to be protected.

There was a 4KB memory region that showing highest access frequency under
not only active but also idle workloads. We think this must be a hottest
code section like thing that should never be paged out.

For this analysis, DAMON used only 0.3-1% of single CPU time. Because we
used recording-based analysis, it consumed about 3-12 MB of disk space per
20 minutes. This is only small amount of disk space, but we can further
reduce the disk usage by using non-recording-based DAMON features. I'd
like to argue that only DAMON can do such detailed analysis (finding 4KB
highest region in 70GB memory) with the light overhead.

DAMON as a system optimization tool
-----------------------------------

We also found below potential performance problems on the systems and made
DAMON-based solutions.

The system doesn't want to make the workload suffer from the page
reclamation and thus it utilizes enough DRAM but no swap device. However,
we found the system is actively reclaiming file-backed pages, because the
system has intensive file IO. The file IO turned out to be not
performance critical for the workload, but the customer wanted to ensure
performance critical file-backed pages like code section to not mistakenly
be evicted.

Using direct IO should or `mlock()` would be a straightforward solution,
but modifying the user space code is not easy for the customer.
Alternatively, we could use DAMON-based operation scheme[1]. By using it,
we can ask DAMON to track access frequency of each region and make
'process_madvise(MADV_WILLNEED)[2]' call for regions having specific size
and access frequency for a time interval.

We also found the system is having high number of TLB misses. We tried
'always' THP enabled policy and it greatly reduced TLB misses, but the
page reclamation also been more frequent due to the THP internal
fragmentation caused memory bloat. We could try another DAMON-based
operation scheme that applies 'MADV_HUGEPAGE' to memory regions having
>=2MB size and high access frequency, while applying 'MADV_NOHUGEPAGE' to
regions having <2MB size and low access frequency.

We do not own the systems so we only reported the analysis results and
possible optimization solutions to the customers. The customers satisfied
about the analysis results and promised to try the optimization guides.

Comparison with Idle Page Tracking
==================================

Idle Page Tracking allows users to set and read idleness of pages using a
bitmap file which represents each page with each bit of the file. One
recommended usage of it is working set size detection. Users can do that
by

1. find PFN of each page for workloads in interest,
2. set all the pages as idle by doing writes to the bitmap file,
3. wait until the workload accesses its working set, and
4. read the idleness of the pages again and count pages became not idle.

NOTE: While Idle Page Tracking is for user space users, DAMON is primarily
designed for kernel subsystems though it can easily exposed to the user
space. Hence, this section only assumes such user space use of DAMON.

For what use cases Idle Page Tracking would be better?
------------------------------------------------------

1. Flexible usecases other than hotness monitoring.

Because Idle Page Tracking allows users to control the primitive (Page
idleness) by themselves, Idle Page Tracking users can do anything they
want. Meanwhile, DAMON is primarily designed to monitor the hotness of
each memory region. For this, DAMON asks users to provide sampling
interval and aggregation interval. For the reason, there could be some
use case that using Idle Page Tracking is simpler.

2. Physical memory monitoring.

Idle Page Tracking receives PFN range as input, so natively supports
physical memory monitoring.

DAMON is designed to be extensible for multiple address spaces and use
cases by implementing and using primitives for the given use case.
Therefore, by theory, DAMON has no limitation in the type of target
address space as long as primitives for the given address space exists.
However, the default primitives introduced by this patchset supports only
virtual address spaces.

Therefore, for physical memory monitoring, you should implement your own
primitives and use it, or simply use Idle Page Tracking.

Nonetheless, RFC patchsets[1] for the physical memory address space
primitives is already available. It also supports user memory same to
Idle Page Tracking.

[1] https://lore.kernel.org/linux-mm/20200831104730.28970-1-sjpark@amazon.com/

For what use cases DAMON is better?
-----------------------------------

1. Hotness Monitoring.

Idle Page Tracking let users know only if a page frame is accessed or not.
For hotness check, the user should write more code and use more memory.
DAMON do that by itself.

2. Low Monitoring Overhead

DAMON receives user's monitoring request with one step and then provide
the results. So, roughly speaking, DAMON require only O(1) user/kernel
context switches.

In case of Idle Page Tracking, however, because the interface receives
contiguous page frames, the number of user/kernel context switches
increases as the monitoring target becomes complex and huge. As a result,
the context switch overhead could be not negligible.

Moreover, DAMON is born to handle with the monitoring overhead. Because
the core mechanism is pure logical, Idle Page Tracking users might be able
to implement the mechanism on their own, but it would be time consuming
and the user/kernel context switching will still more frequent than that
of DAMON. Also, the kernel subsystems cannot use the logic in this case.

3. Page granularity working set size detection.

Until v22 of this patchset, this was categorized as the thing Idle Page
Tracking could do better, because DAMON basically maintains additional
metadata for each of the monitoring target regions. So, in the page
granularity working set size detection use case, DAMON would incur (number
of monitoring target pages * size of metadata) memory overhead. Size of
the single metadata item is about 54 bytes, so assuming 4KB pages, about
1.3% of monitoring target pages will be additionally used.

All essential metadata for Idle Page Tracking are embedded in 'struct
page' and page table entries. Therefore, in this use case, only one
counter variable for working set size accounting is required if Idle Page
Tracking is used.

There are more details to consider, but roughly speaking, this is true in
most cases.

However, the situation changed from v23. Now DAMON supports arbitrary
types of monitoring targets, which don't use the metadata. Using that,
DAMON can do the working set size detection with no additional space
overhead but less user-kernel context switch. A first draft for the
implementation of monitoring primitives for this usage is available in a
DAMON development tree[1]. An RFC patchset for it based on this patchset
will also be available soon.

Since v24, the arbitrary type support is dropped from this patchset
because this patchset doesn't introduce real use of the type. You can
still get it from the DAMON development tree[2], though.

[2] https://github.com/sjp38/linux/tree/damon/master

4. More future usecases

While Idle Page Tracking has tight coupling with base primitives (PG_Idle
and page table Accessed bits), DAMON is designed to be extensible for many
use cases and address spaces. If you need some special address type or
want to use special h/w access check primitives, you can write your own
primitives for that and configure DAMON to use those. Therefore, if your
use case could be changed a lot in future, using DAMON could be better.

Can I use both Idle Page Tracking and DAMON?
--------------------------------------------

Yes, though using them concurrently for overlapping memory regions could
result in interference to each other. Nevertheless, such use case would
be rare or makes no sense at all. Even in the case, the noise would bot
be really significant. So, you can choose whatever you want depending on
the characteristics of your use cases.

different versions of the patchset. For example:

$ git clone https://github.com/sjp38/damon-patches && cd damon-patches
$ diff -u damon/v33 damon/v34

Sequence Of Patches
===================

First three patches implement the core logics of DAMON. The 1st patch
introduces basic sampling based hotness monitoring for arbitrary types of
targets. Following two patches implement the core mechanisms for control
of overhead and accuracy, namely regions based sampling (patch 2) and
adaptive regions adjustment (patch 3).

Now the essential parts of DAMON is complete, but it cannot work unless
someone provides monitoring primitives for a specific use case. The
following two patches make it just work for virtual address spaces
monitoring. The 4th patch makes 'PG_idle' can be used by DAMON and the
5th patch implements the virtual memory address space specific monitoring
primitives using page table Accessed bits and the 'PG_idle' page flag.

Now DAMON just works for virtual address space monitoring via the kernel
space api. To let the user space users can use DAMON, following four
patches add interfaces for them. The 6th patch adds a tracepoint for
monitoring results. The 7th patch implements a DAMON application kernel
module, namely damon-dbgfs, that simply wraps DAMON and exposes DAMON
interface to the user space via the debugfs interface. The 8th patch
further exports pid of monitoring thread (kdamond) to user space for
easier cpu usage accounting, and the 9th patch makes the debugfs interface
to support multiple contexts.

Three patches for maintainability follows. The 10th patch adds
documentations for both the user space and the kernel space. The 11th
patch provides unit tests (based on the kunit) while the 12th patch adds
user space tests (based on the kselftest).

Finally, the last patch (13th) updates the MAINTAINERS file.

This patch (of 13):

DAMON is a data access monitoring framework for the Linux kernel. The
core mechanisms of DAMON make it

- accurate (the monitoring output is useful enough for DRAM level
performance-centric memory management; It might be inappropriate for
CPU cache levels, though),
- light-weight (the monitoring overhead is normally low enough to be
applied online), and
- scalable (the upper-bound of the overhead is in constant range
regardless of the size of target workloads).

Using this framework, hence, we can easily write efficient kernel space
data access monitoring applications. For example, the kernel's memory
management mechanisms can make advanced decisions using this.
Experimental data access aware optimization works that incurring high
access monitoring overhead could again be implemented on top of this.

Due to its simple and flexible interface, providing user space interface
would be also easy. Then, user space users who have some special
workloads can write personalized applications for better understanding and
optimizations of their workloads and systems.

===

Nevertheless, this commit is defining and implementing only basic access
check part without the overhead-accuracy handling core logic. The basic
access check is as below.

The output of DAMON says what memory regions are how frequently accessed
for a given duration. The resolution of the access frequency is
controlled by setting ``sampling interval`` and ``aggregation interval``.
In detail, DAMON checks access to each page per ``sampling interval`` and
aggregates the results. In other words, counts the number of the accesses
to each region. After each ``aggregation interval`` passes, DAMON calls
callback functions that previously registered by users so that users can
read the aggregated results and then clears the results. This can be
described in below simple pseudo-code::

init()
while monitoring_on:
for page in monitoring_target:
if accessed(page):
nr_accesses[page] += 1
if time() % aggregation_interval == 0:
for callback in user_registered_callbacks:
callback(monitoring_target, nr_accesses)
for page in monitoring_target:
nr_accesses[page] = 0
if time() % update_interval == 0:
update()
sleep(sampling interval)

The target regions constructed at the beginning of the monitoring and
updated after each ``regions_update_interval``, because the target regions
could be dynamically changed (e.g., mmap() or memory hotplug). The
monitoring overhead of this mechanism will arbitrarily increase as the
size of the target workload grows.

The basic monitoring primitives for actual access check and dynamic target
regions construction aren't in the core part of DAMON. Instead, it allows
users to implement their own primitives that are optimized for their use
case and configure DAMON to use those. In other words, users cannot use
current version of DAMON without some additional works.

Following commits will implement the core mechanisms for the
overhead-accuracy control and default primitives implementations.

mm: remove pfn_valid_within() and CONFIG_HOLES_IN_ZONE

Patch series "mm: remove pfn_valid_within() and CONFIG_HOLES_IN_ZONE".

After recent updates to freeing unused parts of the memory map, no
architecture can have holes in the memory map within a pageblock. This
makes pfn_valid_within() check and CONFIG_HOLES_IN_ZONE configuration
option redundant.

The first patch removes them both in a mechanical way and the second patch
simplifies memory_hotplug::test_pages_in_a_zone() that had
pfn_valid_within() surrounded by more logic than simple if.

This patch (of 2):

After recent changes in freeing of the unused parts of the memory map and
rework of pfn_valid() in arm and arm64 there are no architectures that can
have holes in the memory map within a pageblock and so nothing can enable
CONFIG_HOLES_IN_ZONE which guards non trivial implementation of
pfn_valid_within().

With that, pfn_valid_within() is always hardwired to 1 and can be
completely removed.

Remove calls to pfn_valid_within() and CONFIG_HOLES_IN_ZONE.

# 1507f512 07-Jul-2021 Mike Rapoport <rppt@kernel.org>

mm: introduce memfd_secret system call to create "secret" memory areas

Introduce "memfd_secret" system call with the ability to create memory
areas visible only in the context of the owning process and not mapped not
only to other processes but in the kernel page tables as well.

The secretmem feature is off by default and the user must explicitly
enable it at the boot time.

Once secretmem is enabled, the user will be able to create a file
descriptor using the memfd_secret() system call. The memory areas created
by mmap() calls from this file descriptor will be unmapped from the kernel
direct map and they will be only mapped in the page table of the processes
that have access to the file descriptor.

Secretmem is designed to provide the following protections:

* Enhanced protection (in conjunction with all the other in-kernel
attack prevention systems) against ROP attacks. Seceretmem makes
"simple" ROP insufficient to perform exfiltration, which increases the
required complexity of the attack. Along with other protections like
the kernel stack size limit and address space layout randomization which
make finding gadgets is really hard, absence of any in-kernel primitive
for accessing secret memory means the one gadget ROP attack can't work.
Since the only way to access secret memory is to reconstruct the missing
mapping entry, the attacker has to recover the physical page and insert
a PTE pointing to it in the kernel and then retrieve the contents. That
takes at least three gadgets which is a level of difficulty beyond most
standard attacks.

* Prevent cross-process secret userspace memory exposures. Once the
secret memory is allocated, the user can't accidentally pass it into the
kernel to be transmitted somewhere. The secreremem pages cannot be
accessed via the direct map and they are disallowed in GUP.

* Harden against exploited kernel flaws. In order to access secretmem,
a kernel-side attack would need to either walk the page tables and
create new ones, or spawn a new privileged uiserspace process to perform
secrets exfiltration using ptrace.

The file descriptor based memory has several advantages over the
"traditional" mm interfaces, such as mlock(), mprotect(), madvise(). File
descriptor approach allows explicit and controlled sharing of the memory
areas, it allows to seal the operations. Besides, file descriptor based
memory paves the way for VMMs to remove the secret memory range from the
userspace hipervisor process, for instance QEMU. Andy Lutomirski says:

"Getting fd-backed memory into a guest will take some possibly major
work in the kernel, but getting vma-backed memory into a guest without
mapping it in the host user address space seems much, much worse."

memfd_secret() is made a dedicated system call rather than an extension to
memfd_create() because it's purpose is to allow the user to create more
secure memory mappings rather than to simply allow file based access to
the memory. Nowadays a new system call cost is negligible while it is way
simpler for userspace to deal with a clear-cut system calls than with a
multiplexer or an overloaded syscall. Moreover, the initial
implementation of memfd_secret() is completely distinct from
memfd_create() so there is no much sense in overloading memfd_create() to
begin with. If there will be a need for code sharing between these
implementation it can be easily achieved without a need to adjust user
visible APIs.

The secret memory remains accessible in the process context using uaccess
primitives, but it is not exposed to the kernel otherwise; secret memory
areas are removed from the direct map and functions in the
follow_page()/get_user_page() family will refuse to return a page that
belongs to the secret memory area.

Once there will be a use case that will require exposing secretmem to the
kernel it will be an opt-in request in the system call flags so that user
would have to decide what data can be exposed to the kernel.

Removing of the pages from the direct map may cause its fragmentation on
architectures that use large pages to map the physical memory which
affects the system performance. However, the original Kconfig text for
CONFIG_DIRECT_GBPAGES said that gigabyte pages in the direct map "... can
improve the kernel's performance a tiny bit ..." (commit 00d1c5e05736
("x86: add gbpages switches")) and the recent report [1] showed that "...
although 1G mappings are a good default choice, there is no compelling
evidence that it must be the only choice". Hence, it is sufficient to
have secretmem disabled by default with the ability of a system
administrator to enable it at boot time.

Pages in the secretmem regions are unevictable and unmovable to avoid
accidental exposure of the sensitive data via swap or during page
migration.

Since the secretmem mappings are locked in memory they cannot exceed
RLIMIT_MEMLOCK. Since these mappings are already locked independently
from mlock(), an attempt to mlock()/munlock() secretmem range would fail
and mlockall()/munlockall() will ignore secretmem mappings.

However, unlike mlock()ed memory, secretmem currently behaves more like
long-term GUP: secretmem mappings are unmovable mappings directly consumed
by user space. With default limits, there is no excessive use of
secretmem and it poses no real problem in combination with
ZONE_MOVABLE/CMA, but in the future this should be addressed to allow
balanced use of large amounts of secretmem along with ZONE_MOVABLE/CMA.

A page that was a part of the secret memory area is cleared when it is
freed to ensure the data is not exposed to the next user of that page.

The following example demonstrates creation of a secret mapping (error
handling is omitted):

fd = memfd_secret(0);
ftruncate(fd, MAP_SIZE);
ptr = mmap(NULL, MAP_SIZE, PROT_READ | PROT_WRITE,
MAP_SHARED, fd, 0);

There are no architectures that support DISCONTIGMEM left.

Remove the configuration option and the dead code it was guarding in the

mm,memory_hotplug: allocate memmap from the added memory range

Physical memory hotadd has to allocate a memmap (struct page array) for
the newly added memory section. Currently, alloc_pages_node() is used
for those allocations.

This has some disadvantages:
a) an existing memory is consumed for that purpose
(eg: ~2MB per 128MB memory section on x86_64)
This can even lead to extreme cases where system goes OOM because
the physically hotplugged memory depletes the available memory before
it is onlined.
b) if the whole node is movable then we have off-node struct pages
which has performance drawbacks.
c) It might be there are no PMD_ALIGNED chunks so memmap array gets
populated with base pages.

This can be improved when CONFIG_SPARSEMEM_VMEMMAP is enabled.

Vmemap page tables can map arbitrary memory. That means that we can
reserve a part of the physically hotadded memory to back vmemmap page
tables. This implementation uses the beginning of the hotplugged memory
for that purpose.

There are some non-obviously things to consider though.

Vmemmap pages are allocated/freed during the memory hotplug events
(add_memory_resource(), try_remove_memory()) when the memory is
added/removed. This means that the reserved physical range is not
online although it is used. The most obvious side effect is that
pfn_to_online_page() returns NULL for those pfns. The current design
expects that this should be OK as the hotplugged memory is considered a
garbage until it is onlined. For example hibernation wouldn't save the
content of those vmmemmaps into the image so it wouldn't be restored on
resume but this should be OK as there no real content to recover anyway
while metadata is reachable from other data structures (e.g. vmemmap
page tables).

The reserved space is therefore (de)initialized during the {on,off}line
events (mhp_{de}init_memmap_on_memory). That is done by extracting page
allocator independent initialization from the regular onlining path.
The primary reason to handle the reserved space outside of
{on,off}line_pages is to make each initialization specific to the
purpose rather than special case them in a single function.

As per above, the functions that are introduced are:

- mhp_init_memmap_on_memory:
Initializes vmemmap pages by calling move_pfn_range_to_zone(), calls
kasan_add_zero_shadow(), and onlines as many sections as vmemmap pages
fully span.

- mhp_deinit_memmap_on_memory:
Offlines as many sections as vmemmap pages fully span, removes the
range from zhe zone by remove_pfn_range_from_zone(), and calls
kasan_remove_zero_shadow() for the range.

The new function memory_block_online() calls mhp_init_memmap_on_memory()
before doing the actual online_pages(). Should online_pages() fail, we
clean up by calling mhp_deinit_memmap_on_memory(). Adjusting of
present_pages is done at the end once we know that online_pages()
succedeed.

On offline, memory_block_offline() needs to unaccount vmemmap pages from
present_pages() before calling offline_pages(). This is necessary because
offline_pages() tears down some structures based on the fact whether the
node or the zone become empty. If offline_pages() fails, we account back
vmemmap pages. If it succeeds, we call mhp_deinit_memmap_on_memory().

Hot-remove:

We need to be careful when removing memory, as adding and
removing memory needs to be done with the same granularity.
To check that this assumption is not violated, we check the
memory range we want to remove and if a) any memory block has
vmemmap pages and b) the range spans more than a single memory
block, we scream out loud and refuse to proceed.

If all is good and the range was using memmap on memory (aka vmemmap pages),
we construct an altmap structure so free_hugepage_table does the right
thing and calls vmem_altmap_free instead of free_pagetable.

mm: cma: support sysfs

Since CMA is getting used more widely, it's more important to keep
monitoring CMA statistics for system health since it's directly related to
user experience.

This patch introduces sysfs statistics for CMA, in order to provide some
basic monitoring of the CMA allocator.

* the number of CMA page successful allocations
* the number of CMA page allocation failures

These two values allow the user to calcuate the allocation
failure rate for each CMA area.

e.g.)
/sys/kernel/mm/cma/WIFI/alloc_pages_[success|fail]
/sys/kernel/mm/cma/SENSOR/alloc_pages_[success|fail]
/sys/kernel/mm/cma/BLUETOOTH/alloc_pages_[success|fail]

The cma_stat was intentionally allocated by dynamic allocation
to harmonize with kobject lifetime management.

# f4f9bda4 14-Dec-2020 John Hubbard <jhubbard@nvidia.com>

selftests/vm: gup_test: introduce the dump_pages() sub-test

For quite a while, I was doing a quick hack to gup_test.c (previously,
gup_benchmark.c) whenever I wanted to try out my changes to dump_page().
This makes that hack unnecessary, and instead allows anyone to easily get
the same coverage from a user space program. That saves a lot of time
because you don't have to change the kernel, in order to test different
pages and options.

The new sub-test takes advantage of the existing gup_test infrastructure,
which already provides a simple user space program, some allocated user
space pages, an ioctl call, pinning of those pages (via either
get_user_pages or pin_user_pages) and a corresponding kernel-side test
invocation. There's not much more required, mainly just a couple of
inputs from the user.

In fact, the new test re-uses the existing command line options in order
to get various helpful combinations (THP or normal, _fast or slow gup, gup
vs. pup, and more).

New command line options are: which pages to dump, and what type of
"get/pin" to use.

In order to figure out which pages to dump, the logic is:

* If the user doesn't specify anything, the page 0 (the first page in
the address range that the program sets up for testing) is dumped.

* Or, the user can type up to 8 page indices anywhere on the command
line. If you type more than 8, then it uses the first 8 and ignores the
remaining items.

For example:

./gup_test -ct -F 1 0 19 0x1000

Meaning:
-c: dump pages sub-test
-t: use THP pages
-F 1: use pin_user_pages() instead of get_user_pages()
0 19 0x1000: dump pages 0, 19, and 4096

# 9c84f229 14-Dec-2020 John Hubbard <jhubbard@nvidia.com>

mm/gup_benchmark: rename to mm/gup_test

Patch series "selftests/vm: gup_test, hmm-tests, assorted improvements", v3.

Summary: This series provides two main things, and a number of smaller
supporting goodies. The two main points are:

1) Add a new sub-test to gup_test, which in turn is a renamed version
of gup_benchmark. This sub-test allows nicer testing of dump_pages(),
at least on user-space pages.

For quite a while, I was doing a quick hack to gup_test.c whenever I
wanted to try out changes to dump_page(). Then Matthew Wilcox asked me
what I meant when I said "I used my dump_page() unit test", and I
realized that it might be nice to check in a polished up version of
that.

Details about how it works and how to use it are in the commit
description for patch #6 ("selftests/vm: gup_test: introduce the
dump_pages() sub-test").

2) Fixes a limitation of hmm-tests: these tests are incredibly useful,
but only if people actually build and run them. And it turns out that
libhugetlbfs is a little too effective at throwing a wrench in the
works, there. So I've added a little configuration check that removes
just two of the 21 hmm-tests, if libhugetlbfs is not available.

Further details in the commit description of patch #8
("selftests/vm: hmm-tests: remove the libhugetlbfs dependency").

Other smaller things that this series does:

a) Remove code duplication by creating gup_test.h.

b) Clear up the sub-test organization, and their invocation within
run_vmtests.sh.

c) Other minor assorted improvements.

[1] v2 is here:
https://lore.kernel.org/linux-doc/20200929212747.251804-1-jhubbard@nvidia.com/

[2] https://lore.kernel.org/r/CAHk-=wgh-TMPHLY3jueHX7Y2fWh3D+nMBqVS__AZm6-oorquWA@mail.gmail.com

This patch (of 9):

Rename nearly every "gup_benchmark" reference and file name to "gup_test".
The one exception is for the actual gup benchmark test itself.

The current code already does a *little* bit more than benchmarking, and
definitely covers more than get_user_pages_fast(). More importantly,
however, subsequent patches are about to add some functionality that is
non-benchmark related.

Closely related changes:

* Kconfig: in addition to renaming the options from GUP_BENCHMARK to
GUP_TEST, update the help text to reflect that it's no longer a
benchmark-only test.

We can fix this by removing the ZSMALLOC_PGTABLE_MAPPING feature (which
contains the offending calling code) from zsmalloc.

Even though this option showed some amount improvement(e.g., 30%) in
some arm32 platforms, it has been headache to maintain since it have
abused APIs[1](e.g., unmap_kernel_range in atomic context).

Since we are approaching to deprecate 32bit machines and already made
the config option available for only builtin build since v5.8, lastly it
has been not default option in zsmalloc, it's time to drop the option
for better maintenance.

parisc: Make user stack size configurable

On parisc we need to initialize the memory layout for the user stack at
process start time to a fixed size, which up until now was limited to
the size as given by CONFIG_MAX_STACK_SIZE_MB at compile time.

This hard limit was too small and showed problems when compiling
ruby2.7, qmlcachegen and some Qt packages.

This patch changes two things:
a) It increases the default maximum stack size to 100MB.
b) Users can modify the stack hard limit size with ulimit and then newly
forked processes will use the given stack size which can even be bigger
than the default 100MB.

mm/memory_hotplug: mark pageblocks MIGRATE_ISOLATE while onlining memory

Currently, it can happen that pages are allocated (and freed) via the
buddy before we finished basic memory onlining.

For example, pages are exposed to the buddy and can be allocated before we
actually mark the sections online. Allocated pages could suddenly fail
pfn_to_online_page() checks. We had similar issues with pcp handling,
when pages are allocated+freed before we reach zone_pcp_update() in
online_pages() [1].

Instead, mark all pageblocks MIGRATE_ISOLATE, such that allocations are
impossible. Once done with the heavy lifting, use
undo_isolate_page_range() to move the pages to the MIGRATE_MOVABLE
freelist, marking them ready for allocation. Similar to offline_pages(),
we have to manually adjust zone->nr_isolate_pageblock.

dma-contiguous: provide the ability to reserve per-numa CMA

Right now, drivers like ARM SMMU are using dma_alloc_coherent() to get
coherent DMA buffers to save their command queues and page tables. As
there is only one default CMA in the whole system, SMMUs on nodes other
than node0 will get remote memory. This leads to significant latency.

This patch provides per-numa CMA so that drivers like SMMU can get local
memory. Tests show localizing CMA can decrease dma_unmap latency much.
For instance, before this patch, SMMU on node2 has to wait for more than
560ns for the completion of CMD_SYNC in an empty command queue; with this
patch, it needs 240ns only.

A positive side effect of this patch would be improving performance even
further for those users who are worried about performance more than DMA
security and use iommu.passthrough=1 to skip IOMMU. With local CMA, all
drivers can get local coherent DMA buffers.

Also, this patch changes the default CONFIG_CMA_AREAS to 19 in NUMA. As
1+CONFIG_CMA_AREAS should be quite enough for most servers on the market
even they enable both hugetlb_cma and pernuma_cma.
2 numa nodes: 2(hugetlb) + 2(pernuma) + 1(default global cma) = 5
4 numa nodes: 4(hugetlb) + 4(pernuma) + 1(default global cma) = 9
8 numa nodes: 8(hugetlb) + 8(pernuma) + 1(default global cma) = 17

mm/sparse: cleanup the code surrounding memory_present()

After removal of CONFIG_HAVE_MEMBLOCK_NODE_MAP we have two equivalent
functions that call memory_present() for each region in memblock.memory:
sparse_memory_present_with_active_regions() and membocks_present().

Moreover, all architectures have a call to either of these functions
preceding the call to sparse_init() and in the most cases they are called
one after the other.

Mark the regions from memblock.memory as present during sparce_init() by
making sparse_init() call memblocks_present(), make memblocks_present()
and memory_present() functions static and remove redundant
sparse_memory_present_with_active_regions() function.

Also remove no longer required HAVE_MEMORY_PRESENT configuration option.

mm/memory_hotplug: disable the functionality for 32b

Memory hotlug is broken for 32b systems at least since c6f03e2903c9 ("mm,
memory_hotplug: remove zone restrictions") which has considerably reworked
how can be memory associated with movable/kernel zones. The same is not
really trivial to achieve in 32b where only lowmem is the kernel zone.
While we can tweak this immediate problem around there are likely other
land mines hidden at other places.

It is also quite dubious that there is a real usecase for the memory
hotplug on 32b in the first place. Low memory is just too small to be
hotplugable (for hot add) and generally unusable for hotremove. Adding
more memory to highmem is also dubious because it would increase the low
mem or vmalloc space pressure for memmaps.

Restrict the functionality to 64b systems. This will help future
development to focus on usecases that have real life application. We can
remove this restriction in future in presence of a real life usecase of
course but until then make it explicit that hotplug on 32b is broken and
requires a non trivial amount of work to fix.

Robin said:
"32-bit Arm doesn't support memory hotplug, and as far as I'm aware
there's little likelihood of it ever wanting to. FWIW it looks like
SuperH is the only pure-32-bit architecture to have hotplug support at
all"

mm/memory_hotplug: handle memblocks only with CONFIG_ARCH_KEEP_MEMBLOCK

The comment in add_memory_resource() is stale: hotadd_new_pgdat() will no
longer call get_pfn_range_for_nid(), as a hotadded pgdat will simply span
no pages at all, until memory is moved to the zone/node via
move_pfn_range_to_zone() - e.g., when onlining memory blocks.

The only archs that care about memblocks for hotplugged memory (either for
iterating over all system RAM or testing for memory validity) are arm64,
s390x, and powerpc - due to CONFIG_ARCH_KEEP_MEMBLOCK. Without
CONFIG_ARCH_KEEP_MEMBLOCK, we can simply stop messing with memblocks.

mm: parallelize deferred_init_memmap()

Deferred struct page init is a significant bottleneck in kernel boot.
Optimizing it maximizes availability for large-memory systems and allows
spinning up short-lived VMs as needed without having to leave them
running. It also benefits bare metal machines hosting VMs that are
sensitive to downtime. In projects such as VMM Fast Restart[1], where
guest state is preserved across kexec reboot, it helps prevent application
and network timeouts in the guests.

Multithread to take full advantage of system memory bandwidth.

The maximum number of threads is capped at the number of CPUs on the node
because speedups always improve with additional threads on every system
tested, and at this phase of boot, the system is otherwise idle and
waiting on page init to finish.

Helper threads operate on section-aligned ranges to both avoid false
sharing when setting the pageblock's migrate type and to avoid accessing
uninitialized buddy pages, though max order alignment is enough for the
latter.

The minimum chunk size is also a section. There was benefit to using
multiple threads even on relatively small memory (1G) systems, and this is
the smallest size that the alignment allows.

The time (milliseconds) is the slowest node to initialize since boot
blocks until all nodes finish. intel_pstate is loaded in active mode
without hwp and with turbo enabled, and intel_idle is active as well.

mm: remove CONFIG_HAVE_MEMBLOCK_NODE_MAP option

CONFIG_HAVE_MEMBLOCK_NODE_MAP is used to differentiate initialization of
nodes and zones structures between the systems that have region to node
mapping in memblock and those that don't.

Currently all the NUMA architectures enable this option and for the
non-NUMA systems we can presume that all the memory belongs to node 0 and
therefore the compile time configuration option is not required.

The remaining few architectures that use DISCONTIGMEM without NUMA are
easily updated to use memblock_add_node() instead of memblock_add() and
thus have proper correspondence of memblock regions to NUMA nodes.

Still, free_area_init_node() must have a backward compatible version
because its semantics with and without CONFIG_HAVE_MEMBLOCK_NODE_MAP is
different. Once all the architectures will use the new semantics, the
entire compatibility layer can be dropped.

To avoid addition of extra run time memory to store node id for
architectures that keep memblock but have only a single node, the node id
field of the memblock_region is guarded by CONFIG_NEED_MULTIPLE_NODES and
the corresponding accessors presume that in those cases it is always 0.

sparc32: mm: Disable SPLIT_PTLOCK_CPUS

The SRMMU page-table allocator is not compatible with SPLIT_PTLOCK_CPUS
for two major reasons:

1. Pages are allocated via memblock, and therefore the ptl is not
cleared by prep_new_page(), which is expected by ptlock_init()

2. Multiple PTE tables can exist in a single page, causing them to
share the same ptl and deadlock when attempting to take the same
lock twice (e.g. as part of copy_page_range()).

Ensure that SPLIT_PTLOCK_CPUS is not selected for SPARC32.

mm: only allow page table mappings for built-in zsmalloc

This allows to unexport map_vm_area and unmap_kernel_range, which are
rather deep internal and should not be available to modules, as they for
example allow fine grained control of mapping permissions, and also
allow splitting the setup of a vmalloc area and the actual mapping and
thus expose vmalloc internals.

zsmalloc is typically built-in and continues to work (just like the
percpu-vm code using a similar patter), while modular zsmalloc also
continues to work, but must use copies.

mm/zswap: allow setting default status, compressor and allocator in Kconfig

The compressed cache for swap pages (zswap) currently needs from 1 to 3
extra kernel command line parameters in order to make it work: it has to
be enabled by adding a "zswap.enabled=1" command line parameter and if one
wants a different compressor or pool allocator than the default lzo / zbud
combination then these choices also need to be specified on the kernel
command line in additional parameters.

Using a different compressor and allocator for zswap is actually pretty
common as guides often recommend using the lz4 / z3fold pair instead of
the default one. In such case it is also necessary to remember to enable
the appropriate compression algorithm and pool allocator in the kernel
config manually.

Let's avoid the need for adding these kernel command line parameters and
automatically pull in the dependencies for the selected compressor
algorithm and pool allocator by adding an appropriate default switches to
Kconfig.

The default values for these options match what the code was using
previously as its defaults.

# 36e66c55 06-Apr-2020 Alexander Duyck <alexander.h.duyck@linux.intel.com>

mm: introduce Reported pages

In order to pave the way for free page reporting in virtualized
environments we will need a way to get pages out of the free lists and
identify those pages after they have been returned. To accomplish this,
this patch adds the concept of a Reported Buddy, which is essentially
meant to just be the Uptodate flag used in conjunction with the Buddy page
type.

To prevent the reported pages from leaking outside of the buddy lists I
added a check to clear the PageReported bit in the del_page_from_free_list
function. As a result any reported page that is split, merged, or
allocated will have the flag cleared prior to the PageBuddy value being
cleared.

The process for reporting pages is fairly simple. Once we free a page
that meets the minimum order for page reporting we will schedule a worker
thread to start 2s or more in the future. That worker thread will begin
working from the lowest supported page reporting order up to MAX_ORDER - 1
pulling unreported pages from the free list and storing them in the
scatterlist.

When processing each individual free list it is necessary for the worker
thread to release the zone lock when it needs to stop and report the full
scatterlist of pages. To reduce the work of the next iteration the worker
thread will rotate the free list so that the first unreported page in the
free list becomes the first entry in the list.

It will then call a reporting function providing information on how many
entries are in the scatterlist. Once the function completes it will
return the pages to the free area from which they were allocated and start
over pulling more pages from the free areas until there are no longer
enough pages to report on to keep the worker busy, or we have processed as
many pages as were contained in the free area when we started processing
the list.

The worker thread will work in a round-robin fashion making its way though
each zone requesting reporting, and through each reportable free list
within that zone. Once all free areas within the zone have been processed
it will check to see if there have been any requests for reporting while
it was processing. If so it will reschedule the worker thread to start up
again in roughly 2s and exit.

mm/mmu_notifier: add an interval tree notifier

Of the 13 users of mmu_notifiers, 8 of them use only
invalidate_range_start/end() and immediately intersect the
mmu_notifier_range with some kind of internal list of VAs. 4 use an
interval tree (i915_gem, radeon_mn, umem_odp, hfi1). 4 use a linked list
of some kind (scif_dma, vhost, gntdev, hmm)

And the remaining 5 either don't use invalidate_range_start() or do some
special thing with it.

It turns out that building a correct scheme with an interval tree is
pretty complicated, particularly if the use case is synchronizing against
another thread doing get_user_pages(). Many of these implementations have
various subtle and difficult to fix races.

This approach puts the interval tree as common code at the top of the mmu
notifier call tree and implements a shareable locking scheme.

It includes:
- An interval tree tracking VA ranges, with per-range callbacks
- A read/write locking scheme for the interval tree that avoids
sleeping in the notifier path (for OOM killer)
- A sequence counter based collision-retry locking scheme to tell
device page fault that a VA range is being concurrently invalidated.

This is based on various ideas:
- hmm accumulates invalidated VA ranges and releases them when all
invalidates are done, via active_invalidate_ranges count.
This approach avoids having to intersect the interval tree twice (as
umem_odp does) at the potential cost of a longer device page fault.

- kvm/umem_odp use a sequence counter to drive the collision retry,
via invalidate_seq

- a deferred work todo list on unlock scheme like RTNL, via deferred_list.
This makes adding/removing interval tree members more deterministic

- seqlock, except this version makes the seqlock idea multi-holder on the
write side by protecting it with active_invalidate_ranges and a spinlock

To minimize MM overhead when only the interval tree is being used, the
entire SRCU and hlist overheads are dropped using some simple
branches. Similarly the interval tree overhead is dropped when in hlist
mode.

The overhead from the mandatory spinlock is broadly the same as most of
existing users which already had a lock (or two) of some sort on the
invalidation path.

The utilities are intended to aid in tracking dirty pages (either

The write-protect utility should be used in conjunction with
page_mkwrite() and pfn_mkwrite() to trigger write page-faults on page
accesses. Typically one would want to use this on sparse accesses into
large memory regions. The clean utility should be used to utilize
hardware dirtying functionality and avoid the overhead of page-faults,
typically on large accesses into small memory regions.

mm,thp: add read-only THP support for (non-shmem) FS

This patch is (hopefully) the first step to enable THP for non-shmem
filesystems.

This patch enables an application to put part of its text sections to THP
via madvise, for example:

madvise((void *)0x600000, 0x200000, MADV_HUGEPAGE);

We tried to reuse the logic for THP on tmpfs.

Currently, write is not supported for non-shmem THP. khugepaged will only
process vma with VM_DENYWRITE. sys_mmap() ignores VM_DENYWRITE requests
(see ksys_mmap_pgoff). The only way to create vma with VM_DENYWRITE is
execve(). This requirement limits non-shmem THP to text sections.

The next patch will handle writes, which would only happen when the all
the vmas with VM_DENYWRITE are unmapped.

An EXPERIMENTAL config, READ_ONLY_THP_FOR_FS, is added to gate this
feature.

mm: remove quicklist page table caches

Patch series "mm: remove quicklist page table caches".

A while ago Nicholas proposed to remove quicklist page table caches [1].

I've rebased his patch on the curren upstream and switched ia64 and sh to
use generic versions of PTE allocation.

[1] https://lore.kernel.org/linux-mm/20190711030339.20892-1-npiggin@gmail.com

This patch (of 3):

Remove page table allocator "quicklists". These have been around for a
long time, but have not got much traction in the last decade and are only
used on ia64 and sh architectures.

The numbers in the initial commit look interesting but probably don't
apply anymore. If anybody wants to resurrect this it's in the git
history, but it's unhelpful to have this code and divergent allocator
behaviour for minor archs.

Also it might be better to instead make more general improvements to page

# 17596731 16-Jul-2019 Robin Murphy <robin.murphy@arm.com>

mm: introduce ARCH_HAS_PTE_DEVMAP

ARCH_HAS_ZONE_DEVICE is somewhat meaningless in itself, and combined
with the long-out-of-date comment can lead to the impression than an
architecture may just enable it (since __add_pages() now "comprehends
device memory" for itself) and expect things to work.

In practice, however, ZONE_DEVICE users have little chance of
functioning correctly without __HAVE_ARCH_PTE_DEVMAP, so let's clean
that up the same way as ARCH_HAS_PTE_SPECIAL and make it the proper
dependency so the real situation is clearer.

mm: consolidate the get_user_pages* implementations

Always build mm/gup.c so that we don't have to provide separate nommu
stubs. Also merge the get_user_pages_fast and __get_user_pages_fast stubs
when HAVE_FAST_GUP into the main implementations, which will never call
the fast path if HAVE_FAST_GUP is not set.

This also ensures the new put_user_pages* helpers are available for nommu,
as those are currently missing, which would create a problem as soon as we
actually grew users for it.

mm: Add write-protect and clean utilities for address space ranges

Add two utilities to a) write-protect and b) clean all ptes pointing into
a range of an address space.
The utilities are intended to aid in tracking dirty pages (either
driver-allocated system memory or pci device memory).
The write-protect utility should be used in conjunction with
page_mkwrite() and pfn_mkwrite() to trigger write page-faults on page
accesses. Typically one would want to use this on sparse accesses into
large memory regions. The clean utility should be used to utilize
hardware dirtying functionality and avoid the overhead of page-faults,
typically on large accesses into small memory regions.

The added file "as_dirty_helpers.c" is initially listed as maintained by
VMware under our DRM driver. If somebody would like it elsewhere,
that's of course no problem.

Notable changes since RFC:
- Added comments to help avoid the usage of these function for VMAs
it's not intended for. We also do advisory checks on the vm_flags and
warn on illegal usage.
- Perform the pte modifications the same way softdirty does.
- Add mmu_notifier range invalidation calls.
- Add a config option so that this code is not unconditionally included.
- Tell the mmu_gather code about pending tlb flushes.

Replacing ARCH_DISCARD_MEMBLOCK with ARCH_KEEP_MEMBLOCK and inverting the
logic makes it clear which architectures actually use memblock after
system initialization and skips the necessity to add ARCH_DISCARD_MEMBLOCK

mm/hmm: add ARCH_HAS_HMM_MIRROR ARCH_HAS_HMM_DEVICE Kconfig

Add 2 new Kconfig variables that are not used by anyone. I check that
various make ARCH=somearch allmodconfig do work and do not complain. This
new Kconfig needs to be added first so that device drivers that depend on
HMM can be updated.

Once drivers are updated then I can update the HMM Kconfig to depend on
this new Kconfig in a followup patch.

This is about solving Kconfig for HMM given that device driver are
going through their own tree we want to avoid changing them from the mm
tree. So plan is:

1 - Kernel release N add the new Kconfig to mm/Kconfig (this patch)
2 - Kernel release N+1 update driver to depend on new Kconfig ie
stop using ARCH_HASH_HMM and start using ARCH_HAS_HMM_MIRROR
and ARCH_HAS_HMM_DEVICE (one or the other or both depending
on the driver)
3 - Kernel release N+2 remove ARCH_HASH_HMM and do final Kconfig
update in mm/Kconfig

# 62afcd1c 13-May-2019 Bartlomiej Zolnierkiewicz <b.zolnierkie@samsung.com>

mm: remove redundant 'default n' from Kconfig-s

'default n' is the default value for any bool or tristate Kconfig
setting so there is no need to write it explicitly.

Also since commit f467c5640c29 ("kconfig: only write '# CONFIG_FOO
is not set' for visible symbols") the Kconfig behavior is the same
regardless of 'default n' being present or not:

...
One side effect of (and the main motivation for) this change is making
the following two definitions behave exactly the same:

config FOO
bool

config FOO
bool
default n

With this change, neither of these will generate a
'# CONFIG_FOO is not set' line (assuming FOO isn't selected/implied).
That might make it clearer to people that a bare 'default n' is
redundant.

As jhash2 always will be slower (for data size like PAGE_SIZE). Don't use

Use only xxhash for now, because for using crc32c, cryptoapi must be

mm, swap: make CONFIG_THP_SWAP depend on CONFIG_SWAP

CONFIG_THP_SWAP should depend on CONFIG_SWAP, because it's unreasonable
to optimize swapping for THP (Transparent Huge Page) without basic
swapping support.

In original code, when CONFIG_SWAP=n and CONFIG_THP_SWAP=y,
split_swap_cluster() will not be built because it is in swapfile.c, but
it will be called in huge_memory.c. This doesn't trigger a build error
in practice because the call site is enclosed by PageSwapCache(), which
is defined to be constant 0 when CONFIG_SWAP=n. But this is fragile and
should be fixed.

The comments are fixed too to reflect the latest progress.

mm: make DEFERRED_STRUCT_PAGE_INIT explicitly depend on SPARSEMEM

The deferred memory initialization relies on section definitions, e.g
PAGES_PER_SECTION, that are only available when CONFIG_SPARSEMEM=y on
most architectures.

Initially DEFERRED_STRUCT_PAGE_INIT depended on explicit
ARCH_SUPPORTS_DEFERRED_STRUCT_PAGE_INIT configuration option, but since
the commit 2e3ca40f03bb13709df4 ("mm: relax deferred struct page
requirements") this requirement was relaxed and now it is possible to
enable DEFERRED_STRUCT_PAGE_INIT on architectures that support
DISCONTINGMEM and NO_BOOTMEM which causes build failures.

For instance, setting SMP=y and DEFERRED_STRUCT_PAGE_INIT=y on arc
causes the following build failure:

Let's make the DEFERRED_STRUCT_PAGE_INIT explicitly depend on SPARSEMEM
as the systems that support DISCONTIGMEM do not seem to have that huge
amounts of memory that would make DEFERRED_STRUCT_PAGE_INIT relevant.

mm: introduce ARCH_HAS_PTE_SPECIAL

Currently the PTE special supports is turned on in per architecture
header files. Most of the time, it is defined in
arch/*/include/asm/pgtable.h depending or not on some other per
architecture static definition.

This patch introduce a new configuration variable to manage this
directly in the Kconfig files. It would later replace
__HAVE_ARCH_PTE_SPECIAL.

Here notes for some architecture where the definition of
__HAVE_ARCH_PTE_SPECIAL is not obvious:

arm
__HAVE_ARCH_PTE_SPECIAL which is currently defined in
arch/arm/include/asm/pgtable-3level.h which is included by
arch/arm/include/asm/pgtable.h when CONFIG_ARM_LPAE is set.
So select ARCH_HAS_PTE_SPECIAL if ARM_LPAE.

powerpc
__HAVE_ARCH_PTE_SPECIAL is defined in 2 files:
- arch/powerpc/include/asm/book3s/64/pgtable.h
- arch/powerpc/include/asm/pte-common.h
The first one is included if (PPC_BOOK3S & PPC64) while the second is
included in all the other cases.
So select ARCH_HAS_PTE_SPECIAL all the time.

sparc:
__HAVE_ARCH_PTE_SPECIAL is defined if defined(__sparc__) &&
defined(__arch64__) which are defined through the compiler in
sparc/Makefile if !SPARC32 which I assume to be if SPARC64.
So select ARCH_HAS_PTE_SPECIAL if SPARC64

There is no functional change introduced by this patch.

mm: introduce MEMORY_DEVICE_FS_DAX and CONFIG_DEV_PAGEMAP_OPS

In preparation for fixing dax-dma-vs-unmap issues, filesystems need to
be able to rely on the fact that they will get wakeups on dev_pagemap
page-idle events. Introduce MEMORY_DEVICE_FS_DAX and
generic_dax_page_free() as common indicator / infrastructure for dax
filesytems to require. With this change there are no users of the
MEMORY_DEVICE_HOST designation, so remove it.

The HMM sub-system extended dev_pagemap to arrange a callback when a
dev_pagemap managed page is freed. Since a dev_pagemap page is free /
idle when its reference count is 1 it requires an additional branch to
check the page-type at put_page() time. Given put_page() is a hot-path
we do not want to incur that check if HMM is not in use, so a static
branch is used to avoid that overhead when not necessary.

Now, the FS_DAX implementation wants to reuse this mechanism for
receiving dev_pagemap ->page_free() callbacks. Rework the HMM-specific
static-key into a generic mechanism that either HMM or FS_DAX code paths
can enable.

For ARCH=um builds, and any other arch that lacks ZONE_DEVICE support,
care must be taken to compile out the DEV_PAGEMAP_OPS infrastructure.
However, we still need to support FS_DAX in the FS_DAX_LIMITED case
implemented by the s390/dcssblk driver.

mm: don't allow deferred pages with NEED_PER_CPU_KM

It is unsafe to do virtual to physical translations before mm_init() is
called if struct page is needed in order to determine the memory section
number (see SECTION_IN_PAGE_FLAGS). This is because only in mm_init()
we initialize struct pages for all the allocated memory when deferred
struct pages are used.

My recent fix in commit c9e97a1997 ("mm: initialize pages on demand
during boot") exposed this problem, because it greatly reduced number of
pages that are initialized before mm_init(), but the problem existed
even before my fix, as Fengguang Wu found.

Below is a more detailed explanation of the problem.

We initialize struct pages in four places:

1. Early in boot a small set of struct pages is initialized to fill the
first section, and lower zones.

2. During mm_init() we initialize "struct pages" for all the memory that
is allocated, i.e reserved in memblock.

3. Using on-demand logic when pages are allocated after mm_init call
(when memblock is finished)

4. After smp_init() when the rest free deferred pages are initialized.

The problem occurs if we try to do va to phys translation of a memory
between steps 1 and 2. Because we have not yet initialized struct pages
for all the reserved pages, it is inherently unsafe to do va to phys if
the translation itself requires access of "struct page" as in case of
this combination: CONFIG_SPARSE && !CONFIG_SPARSE_VMEMMAP

The following path exposes the problem:

start_kernel()
trap_init()
setup_cpu_entry_areas()
setup_cpu_entry_area(cpu)
get_cpu_gdt_paddr(cpu)
per_cpu_ptr_to_phys(addr)
pcpu_addr_to_page(addr)
virt_to_page(addr)
pfn_to_page(__pa(addr) >> PAGE_SHIFT)

We disable this path by not allowing NEED_PER_CPU_KM with deferred
struct pages feature.

mm: relax deferred struct page requirements

There is no need to have ARCH_SUPPORTS_DEFERRED_STRUCT_PAGE_INIT, as all
the page initialization code is in common code.

Also, there is no need to depend on MEMORY_HOTPLUG, as initialization
code does not really use hotplug memory functionality. So, we can
remove this requirement as well.

This patch allows to use deferred struct page initialization on all
platforms with memblock allocator.

Tested on x86, arm64, and sparc. Also, verified that code compiles on
PPC with CONFIG_MEMORY_HOTPLUG disabled.

mm/ZONE_DEVICE: new type of ZONE_DEVICE for unaddressable memory

HMM (heterogeneous memory management) need struct page to support
migration from system main memory to device memory. Reasons for HMM and
migration to device memory is explained with HMM core patch.

This patch deals with device memory that is un-addressable memory (ie CPU
can not access it). Hence we do not want those struct page to be manage
like regular memory. That is why we extend ZONE_DEVICE to support
different types of memory.

A persistent memory type is define for existing user of ZONE_DEVICE and a
new device un-addressable type is added for the un-addressable memory
type. There is a clear separation between what is expected from each
memory type and existing user of ZONE_DEVICE are un-affected by new
requirement and new use of the un-addressable type. All specific code
path are protect with test against the memory type.

Because memory is un-addressable we use a new special swap type for when a
page is migrated to device memory (this reduces the number of maximum swap
file).

The main two additions beside memory type to ZONE_DEVICE is two callbacks.
First one, page_free() is call whenever page refcount reach 1 (which
means the page is free as ZONE_DEVICE page never reach a refcount of 0).
This allow device driver to manage its memory and associated struct page.

The second callback page_fault() happens when there is a CPU access to an
address that is back by a device page (which are un-addressable by the
CPU). This callback is responsible to migrate the page back to system
main memory. Device driver can not block migration back to system memory,
HMM make sure that such page can not be pin into device memory.

If device is in some error condition and can not migrate memory back then
a CPU page fault to device memory should end with SIGBUS.

mm/hmm/mirror: mirror process address space on device with HMM helpers

This is a heterogeneous memory management (HMM) process address space
mirroring. In a nutshell this provide an API to mirror process address
space on a device. This boils down to keeping CPU and device page table
synchronize (we assume that both device and CPU are cache coherent like
PCIe device can be).

This patch provide a simple API for device driver to achieve address space
mirroring thus avoiding each device driver to grow its own CPU page table
walker and its own CPU page table synchronization mechanism.

This is useful for NVidia GPU >= Pascal, Mellanox IB >= mlx5 and more
hardware in the future.

mm, devm_memremap_pages: use multi-order radix for ZONE_DEVICE lookups

devm_memremap_pages() records mapped ranges in pgmap_radix with an entry
per section's worth of memory (128MB). The key for each of those
entries is a section number.

This leads to false positives when devm_memremap_pages() is passed a
section-unaligned range as lookups in the misalignment fail to return
NULL. We can close this hole by using the pfn as the key for entries in
the tree. The number of entries required to describe a remapped range
is reduced by leveraging multi-order entries.

In practice this approach usually yields just one entry in the tree if
the size and starting address are of the same power-of-2 alignment.
Previously we always needed nr_entries = mapping_size / 128MB.

Commit 20b2f52b73fe ("numa: add CONFIG_MOVABLE_NODE for

good explanation on why it is actually useful.

It makes a lot of sense to make movable node semantic opt in but we
already have that because the feature has to be explicitly enabled on
the kernel command line. A config option on top only makes the
configuration space larger without a good reason. It also adds an
additional ifdefery that pollutes the code.

Just drop the config option and make it de-facto always enabled. This
shouldn't introduce any change to the semantic.

mm, THP, swap: delay splitting THP during swap out

Patch series "THP swap: Delay splitting THP during swapping out", v11.

This patchset is to optimize the performance of Transparent Huge Page
(THP) swap.

Recently, the performance of the storage devices improved so fast that
we cannot saturate the disk bandwidth with single logical CPU when do
page swap out even on a high-end server machine. Because the
performance of the storage device improved faster than that of single
logical CPU. And it seems that the trend will not change in the near
future. On the other hand, the THP becomes more and more popular
because of increased memory size. So it becomes necessary to optimize
THP swap performance.

The advantages of the THP swap support include:

- Batch the swap operations for the THP to reduce lock
acquiring/releasing, including allocating/freeing the swap space,
adding/deleting to/from the swap cache, and writing/reading the swap
space, etc. This will help improve the performance of the THP swap.

- The THP swap space read/write will be 2M sequential IO. It is
particularly helpful for the swap read, which are usually 4k random
IO. This will improve the performance of the THP swap too.

- It will help the memory fragmentation, especially when the THP is
heavily used by the applications. The 2M continuous pages will be
free up after THP swapping out.

- It will improve the THP utilization on the system with the swap
turned on. Because the speed for khugepaged to collapse the normal
pages into the THP is quite slow. After the THP is split during the
swapping out, it will take quite long time for the normal pages to
collapse back into the THP after being swapped in. The high THP
utilization helps the efficiency of the page based memory management
too.

There are some concerns regarding THP swap in, mainly because possible
enlarged read/write IO size (for swap in/out) may put more overhead on
the storage device. To deal with that, the THP swap in should be turned
on only when necessary. For example, it can be selected via
"always/never/madvise" logic, to be turned on globally, turned off
globally, or turned on only for VMA with MADV_HUGEPAGE, etc.

This patchset is the first step for the THP swap support. The plan is
to delay splitting THP step by step, finally avoid splitting THP during
the THP swapping out and swap out/in the THP as a whole.

As the first step, in this patchset, the splitting huge page is delayed
from almost the first step of swapping out to after allocating the swap
space for the THP and adding the THP into the swap cache. This will
reduce lock acquiring/releasing for the locks used for the swap cache
management.

With the patchset, the swap out throughput improves 15.5% (from about
3.73GB/s to about 4.31GB/s) in the vm-scalability swap-w-seq test case
with 8 processes. The test is done on a Xeon E5 v3 system. The swap
device used is a RAM simulated PMEM (persistent memory) device. To test
the sequential swapping out, the test case creates 8 processes, which
sequentially allocate and write to the anonymous pages until the RAM and
part of the swap device is used up.

This patch (of 5):

In this patch, splitting huge page is delayed from almost the first step
of swapping out to after allocating the swap space for the THP
(Transparent Huge Page) and adding the THP into the swap cache. This
will batch the corresponding operation, thus improve THP swap out
throughput.

This is the first step for the THP swap optimization. The plan is to
delay splitting the THP step by step and avoid splitting the THP
finally.

In this patch, one swap cluster is used to hold the contents of each THP
swapped out. So, the size of the swap cluster is changed to that of the
THP (Transparent Huge Page) on x86_64 architecture (512). For other
architectures which want such THP swap optimization,
ARCH_USES_THP_SWAP_CLUSTER needs to be selected in the Kconfig file for
the architecture. In effect, this will enlarge swap cluster size by 2
times on x86_64. Which may make it harder to find a free cluster when
the swap space becomes fragmented. So that, this may reduce the
continuous swap space allocation and sequential write in theory. The
performance test in 0day shows no regressions caused by this.

In the future of THP swap optimization, some information of the swapped
out THP (such as compound map count) will be recorded in the
swap_cluster_info data structure.

The mem cgroup swap accounting functions are enhanced to support charge
or uncharge a swap cluster backing a THP as a whole.

The swap cluster allocate/free functions are added to allocate/free a
swap cluster for a THP. A fair simple algorithm is used for swap
cluster allocation, that is, only the first swap device in priority list
will be tried to allocate the swap cluster. The function will fail if
the trying is not successful, and the caller will fallback to allocate a
single swap slot instead. This works good enough for normal cases. If
the difference of the number of the free swap clusters among multiple
swap devices is significant, it is possible that some THPs are split
earlier than necessary. For example, this could be caused by big size
difference among multiple swap devices.

The swap cache functions is enhanced to support add/delete THP to/from
the swap cache as a set of (HPAGE_PMD_NR) sub-pages. This may be
enhanced in the future with multi-order radix tree. But because we will
split the THP soon during swapping out, that optimization doesn't make
much sense for this first step.

The THP splitting functions are enhanced to support to split THP in swap
cache during swapping out. The page lock will be held during allocating
the swap cluster, adding the THP into the swap cache and splitting the
THP. So in the code path other than swapping out, if the THP need to be
split, the PageSwapCache(THP) will be always false.

The swap cluster is only available for SSD, so the THP swap optimization
in this patchset has no effect for HDD.

This reverts commit 2947ba054a4dabbd82848728d765346886050029.

Dan Williams reported dax-pmem kernel warnings with the following signature:

WARNING: CPU: 8 PID: 245 at lib/percpu-refcount.c:155 percpu_ref_switch_to_atomic_rcu+0x1f5/0x200
percpu ref (dax_pmem_percpu_release [dax_pmem]) <= 0 (0) after switching to atomic

... and bisected it to this commit, which suggests possible memory corruption
caused by the x86 fast-GUP conversion.

He also pointed out:

"
This is similar to the backtrace when we were not properly handling
pud faults and was fixed with this commit: 220ced1676c4 "mm: fix
get_user_pages() vs device-dax pud mappings"

I've found some missing _devmap checks in the generic
get_user_pages_fast() path, but this does not fix the regression
[...]
"

So given that there are known bugs, and a pretty robust looking bisection
points to this commit suggesting that are unknown bugs in the conversion
as well, revert it for the time being - we'll re-try in v4.13.

of/fdt: mark hotpluggable memory

When movable nodes are enabled, any node containing only hotpluggable
memory is made movable at boot time.

On x86, hotpluggable memory is discovered by parsing the ACPI SRAT,
making corresponding calls to memblock_mark_hotplug().

If we introduce a dt property to describe memory as hotpluggable,
configs supporting early fdt may then also do this marking and use
movable nodes.

mm: enable CONFIG_MOVABLE_NODE on non-x86 arches

To support movable memory nodes (CONFIG_MOVABLE_NODE), at least one of
the following must be true:

1. This config has the capability to identify movable nodes at boot.
Right now, only x86 can do this.

2. Our config supports memory hotplug, which means that a movable node
can be created by hotplugging all of its memory into ZONE_MOVABLE.

Fix the Kconfig definition of CONFIG_MOVABLE_NODE, which currently
recognizes (1), but not (2).

mm: make CONFIG_DEFERRED_STRUCT_PAGE_INIT depends on !FLATMEM explicitly

Per the suggestion from Michal Hocko [1], DEFERRED_STRUCT_PAGE_INIT
requires some ordering wrt other initialization operations, e.g.
page_ext_init has to happen after the whole memmap is initialized
properly.

For SPARSEMEM this requires to wait for page_alloc_init_late. Other
memory models (e.g. flatmem) might have different initialization
layouts (page_ext_init_flatmem). Currently DEFERRED_STRUCT_PAGE_INIT
depends on MEMORY_HOTPLUG which in turn

depends on SPARSEMEM || X86_64_ACPI_NUMA
depends on ARCH_ENABLE_MEMORY_HOTPLUG

and X86_64_ACPI_NUMA depends on NUMA which in turn disable FLATMEM
memory model:

config ARCH_FLATMEM_ENABLE
def_bool y
depends on X86_32 && !NUMA

so FLATMEM is ruled out via dependency maze. Be explicit and disable
FLATMEM for DEFERRED_STRUCT_PAGE_INIT so that we do not reintroduce
subtle initialization bugs

z3fold: the 3-fold allocator for compressed pages

This patch introduces z3fold, a special purpose allocator for storing
compressed pages. It is designed to store up to three compressed pages
per physical page. It is a ZBUD derivative which allows for higher
compression ratio keeping the simplicity and determinism of its
predecessor.

This patch comes as a follow-up to the discussions at the Embedded Linux
Conference in San-Diego related to the talk [1]. The outcome of these
discussions was that it would be good to have a compressed page
allocator as stable and deterministic as zbud with with higher
compression ratio.

To keep the determinism and simplicity, z3fold, just like zbud, always
stores an integral number of compressed pages per page, but it can store
up to 3 pages unlike zbud which can store at most 2. Therefore the
compression ratio goes to around 2.6x while zbud's one is around 1.7x.

The patch is based on the latest linux.git tree.

This version has been updated after testing on various simulators (e.g.
ARM Versatile Express, MIPS Malta, x86_64/Haswell) and basing on
comments from Dan Streetman [3].

# 8604d9e5 19-May-2016 Vitaly Kuznetsov <vkuznets@redhat.com>

memory_hotplug: introduce CONFIG_MEMORY_HOTPLUG_DEFAULT_ONLINE

This patchset continues the work I started with commit 31bc3858ea3e
("memory-hotplug: add automatic onlining policy for the newly added
memory").

Initially I was going to stop there and bring the policy setting logic
to userspace. I met two issues on this way:

1) It is possible to have memory hotplugged at boot (e.g. with QEMU).
These blocks stay offlined if we turn the onlining policy on by
userspace.

2) My attempt to bring this policy setting to systemd failed, systemd
maintainers suggest to change the default in kernel or ... to use
tmpfiles.d to alter the policy (which looks like a hack to me):
https://github.com/systemd/systemd/pull/2938

Here I suggest to add a config option to set the default value for the
policy and a kernel command line parameter to make the override.

This patch (of 2):

Introduce config option to set the default value for memory hotplug
onlining policy (/sys/devices/system/memory/auto_online_blocks). The
reason one would want to turn this option on are to have early onlining
for hotpluggable memory available at boot and to not require any
userspace actions to make memory hotplug work.

mm: slab: remove ZONE_DMA_FLAG

Now we have IS_ENABLED helper to check if a Kconfig option is enabled or
not, so ZONE_DMA_FLAG sounds no longer useful.

And, the use of ZONE_DMA_FLAG in slab looks pointless according to the
comment [1] from Johannes Weiner, so remove them and ORing passed in
flags with the cache gfp flags has been done in kmem_getpages().

mm: ZONE_DEVICE depends on SPARSEMEM_VMEMMAP

The primary use case for devm_memremap_pages() is to allocate an memmap

requires SPARSEMEM_VMEMMAP.

Also, without SPARSEMEM_VMEMMAP the addition of ZONE_DEVICE expands
ZONES_WIDTH and triggers the:

mm: exclude ZONE_DEVICE from GFP_ZONE_TABLE

ZONE_DEVICE (merged in 4.3) and ZONE_CMA (proposed) are examples of new
mm zones that are bumping up against the current maximum limit of 4
zones, i.e. 2 bits in page->flags for the GFP_ZONE_TABLE.

The GFP_ZONE_TABLE poses an interesting constraint since
include/linux/gfp.h gets included by the 32-bit portion of a 64-bit
build. We need to be careful to only build the table for zones that
have a corresponding gfp_t flag. GFP_ZONES_SHIFT is introduced for this
purpose. This patch does not attempt to solve the problem of adding a
new zone that also has a corresponding GFP_ flag.

Vlastimil points out that ZONE_DEVICE, by depending on x86_64 and
SPARSEMEM_VMEMMAP implies that SECTIONS_WIDTH is zero. In other words
even though ZONE_DEVICE does not fit in GFP_ZONE_TABLE it is free to
consume another bit in page->flags (expand ZONES_WIDTH) with room to
spare.

mm/core, x86/mm/pkeys: Store protection bits in high VMA flags

vma->vm_flags is an 'unsigned long', so has space for 32 flags
on 32-bit architectures. The high 32 bits are unused on 64-bit
platforms. We've steered away from using the unused high VMA
bits for things because we would have difficulty supporting it
on 32-bit.

Protection Keys are not available in 32-bit mode, so there is
no concern about supporting this feature in 32-bit mode or on
32-bit CPUs.

This patch carves out 4 bits from the high half of
vma->vm_flags and allows architectures to set config option
to make them available.

Sparse complains about these constants unless we explicitly
call them "UL".

mm: make compound_head() robust

Hugh has pointed that compound_head() call can be unsafe in some
context. There's one example:

CPU0 CPU1

isolate_migratepages_block()
page_count()
compound_head()
!!PageTail() == true
put_page()
tail->first_page = NULL
head = tail->first_page
alloc_pages(__GFP_COMP)
prep_compound_page()
tail->first_page = head
__SetPageTail(p);
!!PageTail() == true
<head == NULL dereferencing>

The race is pure theoretical. I don't it's possible to trigger it in
practice. But who knows.

We can fix the race by changing how encode PageTail() and compound_head()
within struct page to be able to update them in one shot.

The patch introduces page->compound_head into third double word block in
front of compound_dtor and compound_order. Bit 0 encodes PageTail() and
the rest bits are pointer to head page if bit zero is set.

The patch moves page->pmd_huge_pte out of word, just in case if an
architecture defines pgtable_t into something what can have the bit 0
set.

hugetlb_cgroup uses page->lru.next in the second tail page to store
pointer struct hugetlb_cgroup. The patch switch it to use page->private
in the second tail page instead. The space is free since ->first_page is
removed from the union.

The patch also opens possibility to remove HUGETLB_CGROUP_MIN_ORDER
limitation, since there's now space in first tail page to store struct
hugetlb_cgroup pointer. But that's out of scope of the patch.

That means page->compound_head shares storage space with:

- page->lru.next;
- page->next;
- page->rcu_head.next;

That's too long list to be absolutely sure, but looks like nobody uses
bit 0 of the word.

page->rcu_head.next guaranteed[1] to have bit 0 clean as long as we use
call_rcu(), call_rcu_bh(), call_rcu_sched(), or call_srcu(). But future
call_rcu_lazy() is not allowed as it makes use of the bit and we can
get false positive PageTail().

mm: introduce idle page tracking

Knowing the portion of memory that is not used by a certain application or
memory cgroup (idle memory) can be useful for partitioning the system
efficiently, e.g. by setting memory cgroup limits appropriately.
Currently, the only means to estimate the amount of idle memory provided
by the kernel is /proc/PID/{clear_refs,smaps}: the user can clear the
access bit for all pages mapped to a particular process by writing 1 to
clear_refs, wait for some time, and then count smaps:Referenced. However,
this method has two serious shortcomings:

- it does not count unmapped file pages
- it affects the reclaimer logic

To overcome these drawbacks, this patch introduces two new page flags,
Idle and Young, and a new sysfs file, /sys/kernel/mm/page_idle/bitmap.
A page's Idle flag can only be set from userspace by setting bit in
/sys/kernel/mm/page_idle/bitmap at the offset corresponding to the page,
and it is cleared whenever the page is accessed either through page tables
(it is cleared in page_referenced() in this case) or using the read(2)
system call (mark_page_accessed()). Thus by setting the Idle flag for
pages of a particular workload, which can be found e.g. by reading
/proc/PID/pagemap, waiting for some time to let the workload access its
working set, and then reading the bitmap file, one can estimate the amount
of pages that are not used by the workload.

The Young page flag is used to avoid interference with the memory
reclaimer. A page's Young flag is set whenever the Access bit of a page
table entry pointing to the page is cleared by writing to the bitmap file.
If page_referenced() is called on a Young page, it will add 1 to its
return value, therefore concealing the fact that the Access bit was
cleared.

Note, since there is no room for extra page flags on 32 bit, this feature
uses extended page flags when compiled on 32 bit.

mm: ZONE_DEVICE for "device memory"

While pmem is usable as a block device or via DAX mappings to userspace
there are several usage scenarios that can not target pmem due to its
lack of struct page coverage. In preparation for "hot plugging" pmem
into the vmemmap add ZONE_DEVICE as a new zone to tag these pages
separately from the ones that are subject to standard page allocations.
Importantly "device memory" can be removed at will by userspace
unbinding the driver of the device.

Having a separate zone prevents allocation and otherwise marks these
pages that are distinct from typical uniform memory. Device memory has
different lifetime and performance characteristics than RAM. However,
since we have run out of ZONES_SHIFT bits this functionality currently
depends on sacrificing ZONE_DMA.

mm: cma: debugfs interface

I've noticed that there is no interfaces exposed by CMA which would let me
fuzz what's going on in there.

This small patchset exposes some information out to userspace, plus adds
the ability to trigger allocation and freeing from userspace.

This patch (of 3):

Implement a simple debugfs interface to expose information about CMA areas
in the system.

Useful for testing/sanity checks for CMA since it was impossible to
previously retrieve this information in userspace.

mm/zsmalloc: add statistics support

Keeping fragmentation of zsmalloc in a low level is our target. But now
we still need to add the debug code in zsmalloc to get the quantitative
data.

This patch adds a new configuration CONFIG_ZSMALLOC_STAT to enable the
statistics collection for developers. Currently only the objects
statatitics in each class are collected. User can get the information via
debugfs.

cat /sys/kernel/debug/zsmalloc/zram0/...

For example:

After I copied "jdk-8u25-linux-x64.tar.gz" to zram with ext4 filesystem:

Total 37022 36326 36288

We can calculate the overall fragentation by the last line:
Total 37022 36326 36288
(37022 - 36326) / 37022 = 1.87%

Also by analysing objects alocated in every class we know why we got so
low fragmentation: Most of the allocated objects is in <class 254>. And
there is only 1 page in class 254 zspage. So, No fragmentation will be
introduced by allocating objs in class 254.

And in future, we can collect other zsmalloc statistics as we need and
analyse them.

# 2667f50e 09-Oct-2014 Steve Capper <steve.capper@linaro.org>

mm: introduce a general RCU get_user_pages_fast()

This series implements general forms of get_user_pages_fast and
__get_user_pages_fast in core code and activates them for arm and arm64.

These are required for Transparent HugePages to function correctly, as a
futex on a THP tail will otherwise result in an infinite loop (due to the
core implementation of __get_user_pages_fast always returning 0).

Unfortunately, a futex on THP tail can be quite common for certain
workloads; thus THP is unreliable without a __get_user_pages_fast
implementation.

This series may also be beneficial for direct-IO heavy workloads and
certain KVM workloads.

This patch (of 6):

get_user_pages_fast() attempts to pin user pages by walking the page
tables directly and avoids taking locks. Thus the walker needs to be
protected from page table pages being freed from under it, and needs to
block any THP splits.

One way to achieve this is to have the walker disable interrupts, and rely
on IPIs from the TLB flushing code blocking before the page table pages
are freed.

On some platforms we have hardware broadcast of TLB invalidations, thus
the TLB flushing code doesn't necessarily need to broadcast IPIs; and
spuriously broadcasting IPIs can hurt system performance if done too
often.

This problem has been solved on PowerPC and Sparc by batching up page
table pages belonging to more than one mm_user, then scheduling an
rcu_sched callback to free the pages. This RCU page table free logic has
been promoted to core code and is activated when one enables
HAVE_RCU_TABLE_FREE. Unfortunately, these architectures implement their
own get_user_pages_fast routines.

The RCU page table free logic coupled with an IPI broadcast on THP split
(which is a rare event), allows one to protect a page table walker by
merely disabling the interrupts during the walk.

This patch provides a general RCU implementation of get_user_pages_fast
that can be used by architectures that perform hardware broadcast of TLB
invalidations.

It is based heavily on the PowerPC implementation by Nick Piggin.

CMA: generalize CMA reserved area management functionality

Currently, there are two users on CMA functionality, one is the DMA
subsystem and the other is the KVM on powerpc. They have their own code
to manage CMA reserved area even if they looks really similar. From my
guess, it is caused by some needs on bitmap management. KVM side wants
to maintain bitmap not for 1 page, but for more size. Eventually it use
bitmap where one bit represents 64 pages.

When I implement CMA related patches, I should change those two places
to apply my change and it seem to be painful to me. I want to change
this situation and reduce future code management overhead through this
patch.

This change could also help developer who want to use CMA in their new
feature development, since they can use CMA easily without copying &
pasting this reserved area management code.

In previous patches, we have prepared some features to generalize CMA
reserved area management and now it's time to do it. This patch moves
core functions to mm/cma.c and change DMA APIs to use these functions.

There is no functional change in DMA APIs.

hugetlb: restrict hugepage_migration_support() to x86_64

bugs for other archs. So to avoid breaking such archs, this patch
limits the availability strictly to x86_64 until developers of other
archs get interested in enabling this feature.

Simply disabling hugepage migration on non-x86_64 archs is not enough to
fix the reported problem where sys_move_pages() hits the BUG_ON() in
follow_page(FOLL_GET), so let's fix this by checking if hugepage
migration is supported in vma_migratable().

parisc,metag: Do not hardcode maximum userspace stack size

This patch affects only architectures where the stack grows upwards
(currently parisc and metag only). On those do not hardcode the maximum
initial stack size to 1GB for 32-bit processes, but make it configurable
via a config option.

The main problem with the hardcoded stack size is, that we have two
memory regions which grow upwards: stack and heap. To keep most of the
memory available for heap in a flexmap memory layout, it makes no sense
to hard allocate up to 1GB of the memory for stack which can't be used
as heap then.

This patch makes the stack size for 32-bit processes configurable and
uses 80MB as default value which has been in use during the last few
years on parisc and which hasn't showed any problems yet.

zsmalloc: move it under mm

This patch moves zsmalloc under mm directory.

Before that, description will explain why we have needed custom
allocator.

Zsmalloc is a new slab-based memory allocator for storing compressed
pages. It is designed for low fragmentation and high allocation success
rate on large object, but <= PAGE_SIZE allocations.

zsmalloc differs from the kernel slab allocator in two primary ways to
achieve these design goals.

zsmalloc never requires high order page allocations to back slabs, or
"size classes" in zsmalloc terms. Instead it allows multiple
single-order pages to be stitched together into a "zspage" which backs
the slab. This allows for higher allocation success rate under memory
pressure.

Also, zsmalloc allows objects to span page boundaries within the zspage.
This allows for lower fragmentation than could be had with the kernel
slab allocator for objects between PAGE_SIZE/2 and PAGE_SIZE. With the
kernel slab allocator, if a page compresses to 60% of it original size,
the memory savings gained through compression is lost in fragmentation
because another object of the same size can't be stored in the leftover
space.

This ability to span pages results in zsmalloc allocations not being
directly addressable by the user. The user is given an
non-dereferencable handle in response to an allocation request. That
handle must be mapped, using zs_map_object(), which returns a pointer to
the mapped region that can be used. The mapping is necessary since the
object data may reside in two different noncontigious pages.

The zsmalloc fulfills the allocation needs for zram perfectly

page->ptl is unsigned long now and we use it as spinlock_t if
sizeof(spinlock_t) <= sizeof(long), otherwise it's pointer to spinlock_t.

The spinlock_t allocated in pgtable_page_ctor() for PTE table and in
pgtable_pmd_page_ctor() for PMD table. All other helpers converted to
support dynamically allocated page->ptl.

mm: implement split page table lock for PMD level

The basic idea is the same as with PTE level: the lock is embedded into
struct page of table's page.

We can't use mm->pmd_huge_pte to store pgtables for THP, since we don't
take mm->page_table_lock anymore. Let's reuse page->lru of table's page
for that.

pgtable_pmd_page_ctor() returns true, if initialization is successful
and false otherwise. Current implementation never fails, but assumption
that constructor can fail will help to port it to -rt where spinlock_t
is rather huge and cannot be embedded into struct page -- dynamic
allocation is required.

mm: avoid increase sizeof(struct page) due to split page table lock

Alex Thorlton noticed that some massively threaded workloads work poorly,
if THP enabled. This patchset fixes this by introducing split page table
lock for PMD tables. hugetlbfs is not covered yet.

This patchset is based on work by Naoya Horiguchi.

This patch (of 11):

CONFIG_GENERIC_LOCKBREAK increases sizeof(spinlock_t) to 8 bytes. It
leads to increase sizeof(struct page) by 4 bytes on 32-bit system if split
page table lock is in use, since page->ptl shares space in union with
longs and pointers.

Let's disable split page table lock on 32-bit systems with
GENERIC_LOCKBREAK enabled.

mem-hotplug: introduce movable_node boot option

The hot-Pluggable field in SRAT specifies which memory is hotpluggable.
As we mentioned before, if hotpluggable memory is used by the kernel, it
cannot be hot-removed. So memory hotplug users may want to set all
hotpluggable memory in ZONE_MOVABLE so that the kernel won't use it.

Memory hotplug users may also set a node as movable node, which has
ZONE_MOVABLE only, so that the whole node can be hot-removed.

But the kernel cannot use memory in ZONE_MOVABLE. By doing this, the
kernel cannot use memory in movable nodes. This will cause NUMA
performance down. And other users may be unhappy.

So we need a way to allow users to enable and disable this functionality.
In this patch, we introduce movable_node boot option to allow users to
choose to not to consume hotpluggable memory at early boot time and later
we can set it as ZONE_MOVABLE.

To achieve this, the movable_node boot option will control the memblock
allocation direction. That said, after memblock is ready, before SRAT is
parsed, we should allocate memory near the kernel image as we explained in
the previous patches. So if movable_node boot option is set, the kernel
does the following:

1. After memblock is ready, make memblock allocate memory bottom up.
2. After SRAT is parsed, make memblock behave as default, allocate memory
top down.

Users can specify "movable_node" in kernel commandline to enable this
functionality. For those who don't use memory hotplug or who don't want
to lose their NUMA performance, just don't specify anything. The kernel
will work as before.

powerpc: Fix memory hotplug with sparse vmemmap

Previous commit 46723bfa540... introduced a new config option
HAVE_BOOTMEM_INFO_NODE that ended up breaking memory hot-remove for ppc
when sparse vmemmap is not defined.

This patch defines HAVE_BOOTMEM_INFO_NODE for ppc and adds the call to
register_page_bootmem_info_node. Without this we get a BUG_ON for memory
hot remove in put_page_bootmem().

This also adds a stub for register_page_bootmem_memmap to allow ppc to build
with sparse vmemmap defined. Leaving this as a stub is fine since the same
vmemmap addresses are also handled in vmemmap_populate and as such are
properly mapped.

zswap: add to mm/

zswap is a thin backend for frontswap that takes pages that are in the
process of being swapped out and attempts to compress them and store
them in a RAM-based memory pool. This can result in a significant I/O
reduction on the swap device and, in the case where decompressing from
RAM is faster than reading from the swap device, can also improve
workload performance.

It also has support for evicting swap pages that are currently
compressed in zswap to the swap device on an LRU(ish) basis. This
functionality makes zswap a true cache in that, once the cache is full,
the oldest pages can be moved out of zswap to the swap device so newer
pages can be compressed and stored in zswap.

This patch adds the zswap driver to mm/

zbud: add to mm/

zbud is an special purpose allocator for storing compressed pages. It
is designed to store up to two compressed pages per physical page.
While this design limits storage density, it has simple and
deterministic reclaim properties that make it preferable to a higher
density approach when reclaim will be used.

zbud works by storing compressed pages, or "zpages", together in pairs
in a single memory page called a "zbud page". The first buddy is "left
justifed" at the beginning of the zbud page, and the last buddy is
"right justified" at the end of the zbud page. The benefit is that if
either buddy is freed, the freed buddy space, coalesced with whatever
slack space that existed between the buddies, results in the largest
possible free region within the zbud page.

zbud also provides an attractive lower bound on density. The ratio of
zpages to zbud pages can not be less than 1. This ensures that zbud can
never "do harm" by using more pages to store zpages than the
uncompressed zpages would have used on their own.

This implementation is a rewrite of the zbud allocator internally used
by zcache in the driver/staging tree. The rewrite was necessary to
remove some of the zcache specific elements that were ingrained
throughout and provide a generic allocation interface that can later be
used by zsmalloc and others.

This patch adds zbud to mm/ for later use by zswap.

mm: soft-dirty bits for user memory changes tracking

The soft-dirty is a bit on a PTE which helps to track which pages a task
writes to. In order to do this tracking one should

1. Clear soft-dirty bits from PTEs ("echo 4 > /proc/PID/clear_refs)
2. Wait some time.
3. Read soft-dirty bits (55'th in /proc/PID/pagemap2 entries)

To do this tracking, the writable bit is cleared from PTEs when the
soft-dirty bit is. Thus, after this, when the task tries to modify a
page at some virtual address the #PF occurs and the kernel sets the
soft-dirty bit on the respective PTE.

Note, that although all the task's address space is marked as r/o after
the soft-dirty bits clear, the #PF-s that occur after that are processed
fast. This is so, since the pages are still mapped to physical memory,
and thus all the kernel does is finds this fact out and puts back
writable, dirty and soft-dirty bits on the PTE.

Another thing to note, is that when mremap moves PTEs they are marked
with soft-dirty as well, since from the user perspective mremap modifies
the virtual memory at mremap's new address.

mmKconfig: add an option to disable bounce

There are times when HIGHMEM is enabled, but we don't prefer
CONFIG_BOUNCE to be enabled. CONFIG_BOUNCE can reduce the block device
throughput, and this is not ideal for machines where we don't gain much
by enabling it. So provide an option to deselect CONFIG_BOUNCE. The
observation was made while measuring eMMC throughput using iozone on an
ARM device with 1GB RAM.

memory-hotplug: implement register_page_bootmem_info_section of sparse-vmemmap

For removing memmap region of sparse-vmemmap which is allocated bootmem,
memmap region of sparse-vmemmap needs to be registered by
get_page_bootmem(). So the patch searches pages of virtual mapping and
registers the pages by get_page_bootmem().

NOTE: register_page_bootmem_memmap() is not implemented for ia64,
ppc, s390, and sparc. So introduce CONFIG_HAVE_BOOTMEM_INFO_NODE
and revert register_page_bootmem_info_node() when platform doesn't
support it.

It's implemented by adding a new Kconfig option named
CONFIG_HAVE_BOOTMEM_INFO_NODE, which will be automatically selected
by memory-hotplug feature fully supported archs(currently only on
x86_64).

Since we have 2 config options called MEMORY_HOTPLUG and
MEMORY_HOTREMOVE used for memory hot-add and hot-remove separately,
and codes in function register_page_bootmem_info_node() are only
used for collecting infomation for hot-remove, so reside it under
MEMORY_HOTREMOVE.

Besides page_isolation.c selected by MEMORY_ISOLATION under
MEMORY_HOTPLUG is also such case, move it too.

block: optionally snapshot page contents to provide stable pages during write

This provides a band-aid to provide stable page writes on jbd without
needing to backport the fixed locking and page writeback bit handling
schemes of jbd2. The band-aid works by using bounce buffers to snapshot
page contents instead of waiting.

For those wondering about the ext3 bandage -- fixing the jbd locking
(which was done as part of ext4dev years ago) is a lot of surgery, and
setting PG_writeback on data pages when we actually hold the page lock
dropped ext3 performance by nearly an order of magnitude. If we're
going to migrate iscsi and raid to use stable page writes, the
complaints about high latency will likely return. We might as well
centralize their page snapshotting thing to one place.

mm: introduce a common interface for balloon pages mobility

Memory fragmentation introduced by ballooning might reduce significantly
the number of 2MB contiguous memory blocks that can be used within a guest,
thus imposing performance penalties associated with the reduced number of
transparent huge pages that could be used by the guest workload.

This patch introduces a common interface to help a balloon driver on
making its page set movable to compaction, and thus allowing the system
to better leverage the compation efforts on memory defragmentation.

Adding new architectures to the TRANSPARENT_HUGEPAGE config option can

This patch adds a HAVE_ARCH_TRANSPARENT_HUGEPAGE instead. x86 already has

mm: mmzone: MIGRATE_CMA migration type added

The MIGRATE_CMA migration type has two main characteristics:
(i) only movable pages can be allocated from MIGRATE_CMA
pageblocks and (ii) page allocator will never change migration
type of MIGRATE_CMA pageblocks.

This guarantees (to some degree) that page in a MIGRATE_CMA page
block can always be migrated somewhere else (unless there's no
memory left in the system).

It is designed to be used for allocating big chunks (eg. 10MiB)
of physically contiguous memory. Once driver requests
contiguous memory, pages from MIGRATE_CMA pageblocks may be
migrated away to create a contiguous block.

To minimise number of migrations, MIGRATE_CMA migration type
is the last type tried when page allocator falls back to other
migration types when requested.

NUMA node information and replaces early_node_map[].

Newly added memblocks have MAX_NUMNODES as nid. Arch can then call
memblock_set_node() to set node information. memblock takes care of
merging and node affine allocations w.r.t. node information.

When MEMBLOCK_NODE_MAP is enabled, early_node_map[], related data

for_each_mem_pfn_range() behaves the same and its users don't have to

mm: cleancache core ops functions and config

This third patch of eight in this cleancache series provides
the core code for cleancache that interfaces between the hooks in
VFS and individual filesystems and a cleancache backend. It also
includes build and config patches.

Two new files are added: mm/cleancache.c and include/linux/cleancache.h.

Note that CONFIG_CLEANCACHE can default to on; in systems that do
not provide a cleancache backend, all hooks devolve to a simple
check of a global enable flag, so performance impact should
be negligible but can be reduced to zero impact if config'ed off.
However for this first commit, it defaults to off.

Details and a FAQ can be found in Documentation/vm/cleancache.txt

mm: compaction: don't depend on HUGETLB_PAGE

Commit 5d6892407 ("thp: select CONFIG_COMPACTION if TRANSPARENT_HUGEPAGE
enabled") causes this warning during the configuration process:

warning: (TRANSPARENT_HUGEPAGE) selects COMPACTION which has unmet
direct dependencies (EXPERIMENTAL && HUGETLB_PAGE && MMU)

COMPACTION doesn't depend on HUGETLB_PAGE, it doesn't depend on THP
either, it is also useful for regular alloc_pages(order > 0) including
the very kernel stack during fork (THREAD_ORDER = 1). It's always
better to enable COMPACTION.

The warning should be an error because we would end up with MIGRATION
not selected, and COMPACTION wouldn't work without migration (despite it
seems to build with an inline migrate_pages returning -ENOSYS).

I'd also like to remove EXPERIMENTAL: compaction has been in the kernel
for some releases (for full safety the default remains disabled which I
think is enough).

thp: select CONFIG_COMPACTION if TRANSPARENT_HUGEPAGE enabled

With transparent hugepage support we need compaction for the "defrag"
sysfs controls to be effective.

At the moment THP hangs the system if COMPACTION isn't selected, as
without COMPACTION lumpy reclaim wouldn't be entirely disabled. So at the
moment it's not orthogonal. When lumpy will be removed from the VM I can
remove the select COMPACTION in theory, but then 99% of THP users would be
still doing a mistake in disabling compaction, even if the mistake won't
return in fatal runtime but just slightly degraded performance. So from a
theoretical standpoing forcing the below select is not needed (the
dependency isn't strict nor at compile time nor at runtime) but from a
practical standpoint it is safer.

If anybody really wants THP to run without compaction, it'd be such a
weird setup that editing the Kconfig file to allow it will be surely not a
problem.

percpu: use percpu allocator on UP too

On UP, percpu allocations were redirected to kmalloc. This has the
following problems.

* For certain amount of allocations (determined by
PERCPU_DYNAMIC_EARLY_SLOTS and PERCPU_DYNAMIC_EARLY_SIZE), percpu
allocator can be used before the usual kernel memory allocator is
brought online. On SMP, this is used to initialize the kernel
memory allocator.

* percpu allocator honors alignment upto PAGE_SIZE but kmalloc()
doesn't. For example, workqueue makes use of larger alignments for
cpu_workqueues.

Currently, users of percpu allocators need to handle UP differently,
which is somewhat fragile and ugly. Other than small amount of
memory, there isn't much to lose by enabling percpu allocator on UP.
It can simply use kernel memory based chunk allocation which was added
for SMP archs w/o MMUs.

This patch removes mm/percpu_up.c, builds mm/percpu.c on UP too and
makes UP build use percpu-km. As percpu addresses and kernel
addresses are always identity mapped and static percpu variables don't
need any special treatment, nothing is arch dependent and mm/percpu.c
implements generic setup_per_cpu_areas() for UP.

mm: allow CONFIG_MIGRATION to be set without CONFIG_NUMA or memory hot-remove

CONFIG_MIGRATION currently depends on CONFIG_NUMA or on the architecture
being able to hot-remove memory. The main users of page migration such as
sys_move_pages(), sys_migrate_pages() and cpuset process migration are
only beneficial on NUMA so it makes sense.

As memory compaction will operate within a zone and is useful on both NUMA
and non-NUMA systems, this patch allows CONFIG_MIGRATION to be set if the
user selects CONFIG_COMPACTION as an option.

However we can just do nothing because we set PG_locked in the beginning,
this prevents the page allocator from allocating it to someone. (It will

mm: stop ptlock enlarging struct page

CONFIG_DEBUG_SPINLOCK adds 12 or 16 bytes to a 32- or 64-bit spinlock_t,
and CONFIG_DEBUG_LOCK_ALLOC adds another 12 or 24 bytes to it: lockdep
enables both of those, and CONFIG_LOCK_STAT adds 8 or 16 bytes to that.

When 2.6.15 placed the split page table lock inside struct page (usually
sized 32 or 56 bytes), only CONFIG_DEBUG_SPINLOCK was a possibility, and
we ignored the enlargement (but fitted in CONFIG_GENERIC_LOCKBREAK's 4 by
letting the spinlock_t occupy both page->private and page->mapping).

Should these debugging options be allowed to double the size of a struct
page, when only one minority use of the page (as a page table) needs to
fit a spinlock in there? Perhaps not.

Take the easy way out: switch off SPLIT_PTLOCK_CPUS when DEBUG_SPINLOCK or
DEBUG_LOCK_ALLOC is in force. I've sometimes tried to be cleverer,
kmallocing a cacheline for the spinlock when it doesn't fit, but given up
each time. Falling back to mm->page_table_lock (as we do when ptlock is
not split) lets lockdep check out the strictest path anyway.

And now that some arches allow 8192 cpus, use 999999 for infinity.

(What has this got to do with KSM swapping? It doesn't care about the
size of struct page, but may care about random junk in page->mapping - to
be explained separately later.)

mm: allow memory hotplug and hibernation in the same kernel

Allow memory hotplug and hibernation in the same kernel

Memory hotplug and hibernation were exclusive in Kconfig. This is
obviously a problem for distribution kernels who want to support both in
the same image.

After some discussions with Rafael and others the only problem is with
parallel memory hotadd or removal while a hibernation operation is in
process. It was also working for s390 before.

This patch removes the Kconfig level exclusion, and simply makes the
memory add / remove functions grab the pm_mutex to exclude against
hibernation.

Fixes a regression - old kernels didn't exclude memory hotadd and
hibernation.

ksm: more on default values

Adjust the max_kernel_pages default to a quarter of totalram_pages,
instead of nr_free_buffer_pages() / 4: the KSM pages themselves come from
highmem, and even on a 16GB PAE machine, 4GB of KSM pages would only be
pinning 32MB of lowmem with their rmap_items, so no need for the more
obscure calculation (nor for its own special init function).

ksm: the mm interface to ksm

This patch presents the mm interface to a dummy version of ksm.c, for
better scrutiny of that interface: the real ksm.c follows later.

When CONFIG_KSM is not set, madvise(2) reject MADV_MERGEABLE and
MADV_UNMERGEABLE with EINVAL, since that seems more helpful than
pretending that they can be serviced. But when CONFIG_KSM=y, accept them
even if KSM is not currently running, and even on areas which KSM will not
touch (e.g. hugetlb or shared file or special driver mappings).

Like other madvices, report ENOMEM despite success if any area in the
range is unmapped, and use EAGAIN to report out of memory.

Define vma flag VM_MERGEABLE to identify an area on which KSM may try
merging pages: leave it to ksm_madvise() to decide whether to set it.
Define mm flag MMF_VM_MERGEABLE to identify an mm which might contain
VM_MERGEABLE areas, to minimize callouts when forking or exiting.

HWPOISON: The high level memory error handler in the VM v7

Add the high level memory handler that poisons pages
that got corrupted by hardware (typically by a two bit flip in a DIMM
or a cache) on the Linux level. The goal is to prevent everyone
from accessing these pages in the future.

This done at the VM level by marking a page hwpoisoned
and doing the appropriate action based on the type of page
it is.

The code that does this is portable and lives in mm/memory-failure.c

To quote the overview comment:

High level machine check handler. Handles pages reported by the
hardware as being corrupted usually due to a 2bit ECC memory or cache
failure.

This focuses on pages detected as corrupted in the background.
When the current CPU tries to consume corruption the currently
running process can just be killed directly instead. This implies
that if the error cannot be handled for some reason it's safe to
just ignore it because no corruption has been consumed yet. Instead
when that happens another machine check will happen.

Handles page cache pages in various states. The tricky part
here is that we can access any page asynchronous to other VM
users, because memory failures could happen anytime and anywhere,
possibly violating some of their assumptions. This is why this code
has to be extremely careful. Generally it tries to use normal locking
rules, as in get the standard locks, even if that means the
error handling takes potentially a long time.

Some of the operations here are somewhat inefficient and have non
linear algorithmic complexity, because the data structures have not
been optimized for this case. This is in particular the case
for the mapping from a vma to a process. Since this case is expected
to be rare we hope we can get away with this.

There are in principle two strategies to kill processes on poison:
- just unmap the data and wait for an actual reference before
killing
- kill as soon as corruption is detected.
Both have advantages and disadvantages and should be used
in different situations. Right now both are implemented and can
be switched with a new sysctl vm.memory_failure_early_kill
The default is early kill.

The patch does some rmap data structure walking on its own to collect
processes to kill. This is unusual because normally all rmap data structure
knowledge is in rmap.c only. I put it here for now to keep
everything together and rmap knowledge has been seeping out anyways

mm: remove !NUMA condition from PAGEFLAGS_EXTENDED condition set

CONFIG_PAGEFLAGS_EXTENDED disables a trick to conserve pageflags.
This trick is indended to be enabled when the pressure on page flags

The previous condition was:

- depends on 64BIT || SPARSEMEM_VMEMMAP || !NUMA || !SPARSEMEM

... however, the sparsemem code already has a way to crowd out the
node number from the pageflags, which means that !NUMA actually
doesn't contribute to hard pageflags exhaustion.

This allows users who need to disable the mmap_min_addr controls (usual reason

nommu: make the initial mmap allocation excess behaviour Kconfig configurable

NOMMU mmap() has an option controlled by a sysctl variable that determines
whether the allocations made by do_mmap_private() should have the excess
space trimmed off and returned to the allocator. Make the initial setting
of this variable a Kconfig configuration option.

The reason there can be excess space is that the allocator only allocates
in power-of-2 size chunks, but mmap()'s can be made in sizes that aren't a
power of 2.

There are two alternatives:

(1) Keep the excess as dead space. The dead space then remains unused for the
lifetime of the mapping. Mappings of shared objects such as libc, ld.so
or busybox's text segment may retain their dead space forever.

(2) Return the excess to the allocator. This means that the dead space is
limited to less than a page per mapping, but it means that for a transient
process, there's more chance of fragmentation as the excess space may be
reused fairly quickly.

During the boot process, a lot of transient processes are created, and
this can cause a lot of fragmentation as the pagecache and various slabs
grow greatly during this time.

By turning off the trimming of excess space during boot and disabling
batching of frees, Coldfire can manage to boot.

A better way of doing things might be to have /sbin/init turn this option
off. By that point libc, ld.so and init - which are all long-duration
processes - have all been loaded and trimmed.

Unevictable LRU Infrastructure

When the system contains lots of mlocked or otherwise unevictable pages,
the pageout code (kswapd) can spend lots of time scanning over these
pages. Worse still, the presence of lots of unevictable pages can confuse
kswapd into thinking that more aggressive pageout modes are required,
resulting in all kinds of bad behaviour.

Infrastructure to manage pages excluded from reclaim--i.e., hidden from
vmscan. Based on a patch by Larry Woodman of Red Hat. Reworked to
maintain "unevictable" pages on a separate per-zone LRU list, to "hide"
them from vmscan.

Kosaki Motohiro added the support for the memory controller unevictable
lru list.

Pages on the unevictable list have both PG_unevictable and PG_lru set.
Thus, PG_unevictable is analogous to and mutually exclusive with
PG_active--it specifies which LRU list the page is on.

The unevictable infrastructure is enabled by a new mm Kconfig option
[CONFIG_]UNEVICTABLE_LRU.

A new function 'page_evictable(page, vma)' in vmscan.c tests whether or
not a page may be evictable. Subsequent patches will add the various
!evictable tests. We'll want to keep these tests light-weight for use in
shrink_active_list() and, possibly, the fault path.

To avoid races between tasks putting pages [back] onto an LRU list and
tasks that might be moving the page from non-evictable to evictable state,
the new function 'putback_lru_page()' -- inverse to 'isolate_lru_page()'
-- tests the "evictability" of a page after placing it on the LRU, before
dropping the reference. If the page has become unevictable,
putback_lru_page() will redo the 'putback', thus moving the page to the
unevictable list. This way, we avoid "stranding" evictable pages on the
unevictable list.

mmu-notifiers: core

With KVM/GFP/XPMEM there isn't just the primary CPU MMU pointing to pages.
There are secondary MMUs (with secondary sptes and secondary tlbs) too.
sptes in the kvm case are shadow pagetables, but when I say spte in
mmu-notifier context, I mean "secondary pte". In GRU case there's no
actual secondary pte and there's only a secondary tlb because the GRU
secondary MMU has no knowledge about sptes and every secondary tlb miss
event in the MMU always generates a page fault that has to be resolved by
the CPU (this is not the case of KVM where the a secondary tlb miss will
walk sptes in hardware and it will refill the secondary tlb transparently
to software if the corresponding spte is present). The same way
zap_page_range has to invalidate the pte before freeing the page, the spte
(and secondary tlb) must also be invalidated before any page is freed and
reused.

Currently we take a page_count pin on every page mapped by sptes, but that
means the pages can't be swapped whenever they're mapped by any spte
because they're part of the guest working set. Furthermore a spte unmap
event can immediately lead to a page to be freed when the pin is released
(so requiring the same complex and relatively slow tlb_gather smp safe
logic we have in zap_page_range and that can be avoided completely if the
spte unmap event doesn't require an unpin of the page previously mapped in
the secondary MMU).

The mmu notifiers allow kvm/GRU/XPMEM to attach to the tsk->mm and know
when the VM is swapping or freeing or doing anything on the primary MMU so
that the secondary MMU code can drop sptes before the pages are freed,
avoiding all page pinning and allowing 100% reliable swapping of guest
physical address space. Furthermore it avoids the code that teardown the
mappings of the secondary MMU, to implement a logic like tlb_gather in
zap_page_range that would require many IPI to flush other cpu tlbs, for
each fixed number of spte unmapped.

To make an example: if what happens on the primary MMU is a protection
downgrade (from writeable to wrprotect) the secondary MMU mappings will be
invalidated, and the next secondary-mmu-page-fault will call
get_user_pages and trigger a do_wp_page through get_user_pages if it
called get_user_pages with write=1, and it'll re-establishing an updated
spte or secondary-tlb-mapping on the copied page. Or it will setup a
readonly spte or readonly tlb mapping if it's a guest-read, if it calls
get_user_pages with write=0. This is just an example.

This allows to map any page pointed by any pte (and in turn visible in the
primary CPU MMU), into a secondary MMU (be it a pure tlb like GRU, or an
full MMU with both sptes and secondary-tlb like the shadow-pagetable layer
with kvm), or a remote DMA in software like XPMEM (hence needing of
schedule in XPMEM code to send the invalidate to the remote node, while no
need to schedule in kvm/gru as it's an immediate event like invalidating
primary-mmu pte).

At least for KVM without this patch it's impossible to swap guests
reliably. And having this feature and removing the page pin allows
several other optimizations that simplify life considerably.

Dependencies:

1) mm_take_all_locks() to register the mmu notifier when the whole VM
isn't doing anything with "mm". This allows mmu notifier users to keep
track if the VM is in the middle of the invalidate_range_begin/end
critical section with an atomic counter incraese in range_begin and
decreased in range_end. No secondary MMU page fault is allowed to map
any spte or secondary tlb reference, while the VM is in the middle of
range_begin/end as any page returned by get_user_pages in that critical
section could later immediately be freed without any further
->invalidate_page notification (invalidate_range_begin/end works on
ranges and ->invalidate_page isn't called immediately before freeing
the page). To stop all page freeing and pagetable overwrites the
mmap_sem must be taken in write mode and all other anon_vma/i_mmap
locks must be taken too.

2) It'd be a waste to add branches in the VM if nobody could possibly
run KVM/GRU/XPMEM on the kernel, so mmu notifiers will only enabled if
CONFIG_KVM=m/y. In the current kernel kvm won't yet take advantage of
mmu notifiers, but this already allows to compile a KVM external module
against a kernel with mmu notifiers enabled and from the next pull from
kvm.git we'll start using them. And GRU/XPMEM will also be able to
continue the development by enabling KVM=m in their config, until they
submit all GRU/XPMEM GPLv2 code to the mainline kernel. Then they can
also enable MMU_NOTIFIERS in the same way KVM does it (even if KVM=n).
This guarantees nobody selects MMU_NOTIFIER=y if KVM and GRU and XPMEM
are all =n.

The mmu_notifier_register call can fail because mm_take_all_locks may be
interrupted by a signal and return -EINTR. Because mmu_notifier_reigster
is used when a driver startup, a failure can be gracefully handled. Here
an example of the change applied to kvm to register the mmu notifiers.
Usually when a driver startups other allocations are required anyway and
-ENOMEM failure paths exists already.

struct kvm *kvm_arch_create_vm(void)
{
struct kvm *kvm = kzalloc(sizeof(struct kvm), GFP_KERNEL);
+ int err;

if (!kvm)
return ERR_PTR(-ENOMEM);

INIT_LIST_HEAD(&kvm->arch.active_mmu_pages);

+ kvm->arch.mmu_notifier.ops = &kvm_mmu_notifier_ops;
+ err = mmu_notifier_register(&kvm->arch.mmu_notifier, current->mm);
+ if (err) {
+ kfree(kvm);
+ return ERR_PTR(err);
+ }
+
return kvm;
}

The patch also adds a few needed but missing includes that would prevent

# 8174c430 25-Jul-2008 Nick Piggin <npiggin@suse.de>

x86: lockless get_user_pages_fast()

Implement get_user_pages_fast without locking in the fastpath on x86.

Do an optimistic lockless pagetable walk, without taking mmap_sem or any
page table locks or even mmap_sem. Page table existence is guaranteed by
turning interrupts off (combined with the fact that we're always looking
up the current mm, means we can do the lockless page table walk within the
constraints of the TLB shootdown design). Basically we can do this
lockless pagetable walk in a similar manner to the way the CPU's pagetable
walker does not have to take any locks to find present ptes.

This patch (combined with the subsequent ones to convert direct IO to use
it) was found to give about 10% performance improvement on a 2 socket 8
core Intel Xeon system running an OLTP workload on DB2 v9.5

"To test the effects of the patch, an OLTP workload was run on an IBM
x3850 M2 server with 2 processors (quad-core Intel Xeon processors at
2.93 GHz) using IBM DB2 v9.5 running Linux 2.6.24rc7 kernel. Comparing
runs with and without the patch resulted in an overall performance
benefit of ~9.8%. Correspondingly, oprofiles showed that samples from
__up_read and __down_read routines that is seen during thread contention
for system resources was reduced from 2.8% down to .05%. Monitoring the
/proc/vmstat output from the patched run showed that the counter for
fast_gup contained a very high number while the fast_gup_slow value was
zero."

(fast_gup is the old name for get_user_pages_fast, fast_gup_slow is a
counter we had for the number of times the slowpath was invoked).

The main reason for the improvement is that DB2 has multiple threads each
issuing direct-IO. Direct-IO uses get_user_pages, and thus the threads
contend the mmap_sem cacheline, and can also contend on page table locks.

I would anticipate larger performance gains on larger systems, however I
think DB2 uses an adaptive mix of threads and processes, so it could be
that thread contention remains pretty constant as machine size increases.
In which case, we stuck with "only" a 10% gain.

The downside of using get_user_pages_fast is that if there is not a pte
with the correct permissions for the access, we end up falling back to
get_user_pages and so the get_user_pages_fast is a bit of extra work.
However this should not be the common case in most performance critical
code.

mm: make CONFIG_MIGRATION available w/o CONFIG_NUMA

We'd like to support CONFIG_MEMORY_HOTREMOVE on s390, which depends on
CONFIG_MIGRATION. So far, CONFIG_MIGRATION is only available with NUMA
support.

This patch makes CONFIG_MIGRATION selectable for architectures that define
ARCH_ENABLE_MEMORY_HOTREMOVE. When MIGRATION is enabled w/o NUMA, the
kernel won't compile because migrate_vmas() does not know about
vm_ops->migrate() and vma_migratable() does not know about policy_zone.
To fix this, those two functions can be restricted to '#ifdef CONFIG_NUMA'
because they are not being used w/o NUMA. vma_migratable() is moved over
from migrate.h to mempolicy.h.

PAGEFLAGS_EXTENDED and separate page flags for Head and Tail

Having separate page flags for the head and the tail of a compound page allows
the compiler to use bitops instead of operations on a word to check for a tail
page. That is f.e. important for virt_to_head_page() which is used in
various critical code paths (kfree for example):

Code for PageTail(page)

Before:

mov (%rdi),%rdx page->flags
mov %rdx,%rax 3 bytes
and $0x12000,%eax 5 bytes
cmp $0x12000,%rax 6 bytes
je 897 <kfree+0xa7>

After:

mov (%rdi),%rax
test $0x40,%ah (3 bytes)
jne 887 <kfree+0x97>

So we go from 14 bytes to 3 bytes and from 3 instructions to one. From the
use of 2 registers we go to none.

We can only use page flags for this if we have page flags available. This
patch introduces CONFIG_PAGEFLAGS_EXTENDED that is set if pageflags are not
scarce due to SPARSEMEM using page flags for its sectionid on 32 bit NUMA
platforms.

Additional page flag definitions can be added to the CONFIG_PAGEFLAGS_EXTENDED
section in page-flags.h if the functionality depends on PAGEFLAGS_EXTENDED or
if more page flag overlapping tricks are used for the !PAGEFLAGS_EXTENDED
fallback (the upcoming virtual compound patch may hook in here and Rik's/Lee's
additional page flags to solve the reclaim issues could also be added there
[hint... hint... where are these patchsets?]).

Avoiding the overlaying of Pg_reclaim also clears the way for possible use of
compound pages for the pagecache or on the LRU.

xen: lock pte pages while pinning/unpinning

When a pagetable is created, it is made globally visible in the rmap
prio tree before it is pinned via arch_dup_mmap(), and remains in the
rmap tree while it is unpinned with arch_exit_mmap().

This means that other CPUs may race with the pinning/unpinning
process, and see a pte between when it gets marked RO and actually
pinned, causing any pte updates to fail with write-protect faults.

As a result, all pte pages must be properly locked, and only unlocked
once the pinning/unpinning process has finished.

In order to avoid taking spinlocks for the whole pagetable - which may
overflow the PREEMPT_BITS portion of preempt counter - it locks and pins
each pte page individually, and then finally pins the whole pagetable.

xen: disable split pte locks for now

When pinning and unpinning pagetables, we must protect them against
being used by other CPUs, lest they see the pagetable in an
intermediate read-only-but-not-pinned state.

When using split pte locks, doing this properly would require taking
all the pte locks for the pagetable while pinning, but this may overflow
the PREEMPT_BITS part of the preempt counter if the process has mapped
more than about 512M of memory.

However, failing to take the pte locks causes write-protect faults when
the pageout code is trying to clear the Access bit on a pte which is part
of a freshy created and still being pinned process after fork.

This is a short-term fix until the problem is solved properly.

Quicklists for page table pages

On x86_64 this cuts allocation overhead for page table pages down to a
fraction (kernel compile / editing load. TSC based measurement of times spend
in each function):

no quicklist

pte_alloc 1569048 4.3s(401ns/2.7us/179.7us)
pmd_alloc 780988 2.1s(337ns/2.7us/86.1us)
pud_alloc 780072 2.2s(424ns/2.8us/300.6us)
pgd_alloc 260022 1s(920ns/4us/263.1us)

quicklist:

pte_alloc 452436 573.4ms(8ns/1.3us/121.1us)
pmd_alloc 196204 174.5ms(7ns/889ns/46.1us)
pud_alloc 195688 172.4ms(7ns/881ns/151.3us)
pgd_alloc 65228 9.8ms(8ns/150ns/6.1us)

pgd allocations are the most complex and there we see the most dramatic
improvement (may be we can cut down the amount of pgds cached somewhat?). But
even the pte allocations still see a doubling of performance.

1. Proven code from the IA64 arch.

The method used here has been fine tuned for years and
is NUMA aware. It is based on the knowledge that accesses
to page table pages are sparse in nature. Taking a page
off the freelists instead of allocating a zeroed pages
allows a reduction of number of cachelines touched
in addition to getting rid of the slab overhead. So
performance improves. This is particularly useful if pgds
contain standard mappings. We can save on the teardown
and setup of such a page if we have some on the quicklists.
This includes avoiding lists operations that are otherwise
necessary on alloc and free to track pgds.

2. Light weight alternative to use slab to manage page size pages

Slab overhead is significant and even page allocator use
is pretty heavy weight. The use of a per cpu quicklist
means that we touch only two cachelines for an allocation.
There is no need to access the page_struct (unless arch code
needs to fiddle around with it). So the fast past just
means bringing in one cacheline at the beginning of the
page. That same cacheline may then be used to store the
page table entry. Or a second cacheline may be used
if the page table entry is not in the first cacheline of
the page. The current code will zero the page which means
touching 32 cachelines (assuming 128 byte). We get down
from 32 to 2 cachelines in the fast path.

3. x86_64 gets lightweight page table page management.

This will allow x86_64 arch code to faster repopulate pgds
and other page table entries. The list operations for pgds
are reduced in the same way as for i386 to the point where
a pgd is allocated from the page allocator and when it is
freed back to the page allocator. A pgd can pass through
the quicklists without having to be reinitialized.

64 Consolidation of code from multiple arches

So far arches have their own implementation of quicklist
management. This patch moves that feature into the core allowing
an easier maintenance and consistent management of quicklists.

Page table pages have the characteristics that they are typically zero or in a
known state when they are freed. This is usually the exactly same state as
needed after allocation. So it makes sense to build a list of freed page
table pages and then consume the pages already in use first. Those pages have
already been initialized correctly (thus no need to zero them) and are likely
already cached in such a way that the MMU can use them most effectively. Page
table pages are used in a sparse way so zeroing them on allocation is not too
useful.

Such an implementation already exits for ia64. Howver, that implementation
did not support constructors and destructors as needed by i386 / x86_64. It
also only supported a single quicklist. The implementation here has
constructor and destructor support as well as the ability for an arch to
specify how many quicklists are needed.

Quicklists are defined by an arch defining CONFIG_QUICKLIST. If more than one
quicklist is necessary then we can define NR_QUICK for additional lists. F.e.
i386 needs two and thus has

config NR_QUICK
int
default 2

If an arch has requested quicklist support then pages can be allocated
from the quicklist (or from the page allocator if the quicklist is
empty) via:

quicklist_alloc(<quicklist-nr>, <gfpflags>, <constructor>)

Page table pages can be freed using:

quicklist_free(<quicklist-nr>, <destructor>, <page>)

Pages must have a definite state after allocation and before
they are freed. If no constructor is specified then pages
will be zeroed on allocation and must be zeroed before they are
freed.

If a constructor is used then the constructor will establish
a definite page state. F.e. the i386 and x86_64 pgd constructors
establish certain mappings.

Constructors and destructors can also be used to track the pages.
i386 and x86_64 use a list of pgds in order to be able to dynamically
update standard mappings.

[PATCH] Set CONFIG_ZONE_DMA for arches with GENERIC_ISA_DMA

As Andi pointed out: CONFIG_GENERIC_ISA_DMA only disables the ISA DMA
channel management. Other functionality may still expect GFP_DMA to
provide memory below 16M. So we need to make sure that CONFIG_ZONE_DMA is
set independent of CONFIG_GENERIC_ISA_DMA. Undo the modifications to
mm/Kconfig where we made ZONE_DMA dependent on GENERIC_ISA_DMA and set
theses explicitly in each arches Kconfig.

Reviews must occur for each arch in order to determine if ZONE_DMA can be
switched off. It can only be switched off if we know that all devices
supported by a platform are capable of performing DMA transfers to all of
memory (Some arches already support this: uml, avr32, sh sh64, parisc and
IA64/Altix).

In order to switch ZONE_DMA off conditionally, one would have to establish
a scheme by which one can assure that no drivers are enabled that are only
capable of doing I/O to a part of memory, or one needs to provide an
alternate means of performing an allocation from a specific range of memory
(like provided by alloc_pages_range()) and insure that all drivers use that
call. In that case the arches alloc_dma_coherent() may need to be modified
to call alloc_pages_range() instead of relying on GFP_DMA.

[PATCH] optional ZONE_DMA: introduce CONFIG_ZONE_DMA

This patch simply defines CONFIG_ZONE_DMA for all arches. We later do special
things with CONFIG_ZONE_DMA after the VM and an arch are prepared to work
without ZONE_DMA.

CONFIG_ZONE_DMA can be defined in two ways depending on how an architecture
handles ISA DMA.

First if CONFIG_GENERIC_ISA_DMA is set by the arch then we know that the arch
needs ZONE_DMA because ISA DMA devices are supported. We can catch this in
mm/Kconfig and do not need to modify arch code.

Second, arches may use ZONE_DMA in an unknown way. We set CONFIG_ZONE_DMA for
all arches that do not set CONFIG_GENERIC_ISA_DMA in order to insure backwards
compatibility. The arches may later undefine ZONE_DMA if their arch code has
been verified to not depend on ZONE_DMA.

[PATCH] mm: update split ptlock Kconfig

Closer attention to the arithmetic shows that neither ppc64 nor sparc really
uses one page for multiple page tables: how on earth could they, while
pte_alloc_one returns just a struct page pointer, with no offset?

Well, arm26 manages it by returning a pte_t pointer cast to a struct page
pointer, harumph, then compensating in its pmd_populate. But arm26 is never
SMP, so it's not a problem for split ptlock either.

And the PA-RISC situation has been recently improved: CONFIG_PA20 works
without the 16-byte alignment which inflated its spinlock_t. But the current
union of spinlock_t with private does make the 7xxx struct page significantly
larger, even without debug, so disable its split ptlock.

[PATCH] mm: split page table lock

Christoph Lameter demonstrated very poor scalability on the SGI 512-way, with
a many-threaded application which concurrently initializes different parts of
a large anonymous area.

This patch corrects that, by using a separate spinlock per page table page, to
guard the page table entries in that page, instead of using the mm's single
page_table_lock. (But even then, page_table_lock is still used to guard page
table allocation, and anon_vma allocation.)

In this implementation, the spinlock is tucked inside the struct page of the
page table page: with a BUILD_BUG_ON in case it overflows - which it would in
the case of 32-bit PA-RISC with spinlock debugging enabled.

Splitting the lock is not quite for free: another cacheline access. Ideally,
I suppose we would use split ptlock only for multi-threaded processes on
multi-cpu machines; but deciding that dynamically would have its own costs.
So for now enable it by config, at some number of cpus - since the Kconfig
language doesn't support inequalities, let preprocessor compare that with
NR_CPUS. But I don't think it's worth being user-configurable: for good
testing of both split and unsplit configs, split now at 4 cpus, and perhaps
change that to 8 later.

There is a benefit even for singly threaded processes: kswapd can be attacking
one part of the mm while another part is busy faulting.

[PATCH] sparsemem extreme implementation

With cleanups from Dave Hansen <haveblue@us.ibm.com>

SPARSEMEM_EXTREME makes mem_section a one dimensional array of pointers to
mem_sections. This two level layout scheme is able to achieve smaller
memory requirements for SPARSEMEM with the tradeoff of an additional shift
and load when fetching the memory section. The current SPARSEMEM
implementation is a one dimensional array of mem_sections which is the
default SPARSEMEM configuration. The patch attempts isolates the
implementation details of the physical layout of the sparsemem section
array.

SPARSEMEM_EXTREME requires bootmem to be functioning at the time of
memory_present() calls. This is not always feasible, so architectures
which do not need it may allocate everything statically by using
SPARSEMEM_STATIC.

[PATCH] SPARSEMEM EXTREME

A new option for SPARSEMEM is ARCH_SPARSEMEM_EXTREME. Architecture
platforms with a very sparse physical address space would likely want to
select this option. For those architecture platforms that don't select the
option, the code generated is equivalent to SPARSEMEM currently in -mm.
I'll be posting a patch on ia64 ml which uses this new SPARSEMEM feature.

ARCH_SPARSEMEM_EXTREME makes mem_section a one dimensional array of
pointers to mem_sections. This two level layout scheme is able to achieve
smaller memory requirements for SPARSEMEM with the tradeoff of an
additional shift and load when fetching the memory section. The current
SPARSEMEM -mm implementation is a one dimensional array of mem_sections
which is the default SPARSEMEM configuration. The patch attempts isolates
the implementation details of the physical layout of the sparsemem section
array.

ARCH_SPARSEMEM_EXTREME depends on 64BIT and is by default boolean false.

I've boot tested under aim load ia64 configured for ARCH_SPARSEMEM_EXTREME.
I've also boot tested a 4 way Opteron machine with !ARCH_SPARSEMEM_EXTREME
and tested with aim.

# d41dee36 23-Jun-2005 Andy Whitcroft <apw@shadowen.org>

[PATCH] sparsemem memory model

Sparsemem abstracts the use of discontiguous mem_maps[]. This kind of
mem_map[] is needed by discontiguous memory machines (like in the old
CONFIG_DISCONTIGMEM case) as well as memory hotplug systems. Sparsemem
replaces DISCONTIGMEM when enabled, and it is hoped that it can eventually
become a complete replacement.

A significant advantage over DISCONTIGMEM is that it's completely separated
from CONFIG_NUMA. When producing this patch, it became apparent in that NUMA
and DISCONTIG are often confused.

Another advantage is that sparse doesn't require each NUMA node's ranges to be
contiguous. It can handle overlapping ranges between nodes with no problems,
where DISCONTIGMEM currently throws away that memory.

Sparsemem uses an array to provide different pfn_to_page() translations for
each SECTION_SIZE area of physical memory. This is what allows the mem_map[]
to be chopped up.

In order to do quick pfn_to_page() operations, the section number of the page
is encoded in page->flags. Part of the sparsemem infrastructure enables
sharing of these bits more dynamically (at compile-time) between the
page_zone() and sparsemem operations. However, on 32-bit architectures, the
number of bits is quite limited, and may require growing the size of the
page->flags type in certain conditions. Several things might force this to
occur: a decrease in the SECTION_SIZE (if you want to hotplug smaller areas of
memory), an increase in the physical address space, or an increase in the
number of used page->flags.

One thing to note is that, once sparsemem is present, the NUMA node
information no longer needs to be stored in the page->flags. It might provide
speed increases on certain platforms and will be stored there if there is
room. But, if out of room, an alternate (theoretically slower) mechanism is
used.

This patch introduces CONFIG_FLATMEM. It is used in almost all cases where
there used to be an #ifndef DISCONTIG, because SPARSEMEM and DISCONTIGMEM
often have to compile out the same areas of code.

[PATCH] Introduce new Kconfig option for NUMA or DISCONTIG

There is some confusion that arose when working on SPARSEMEM patch between
what is needed for DISCONTIG vs. NUMA.

Multiple pg_data_t's are needed for DISCONTIGMEM or NUMA, independently.
All of the current NUMA implementations require an implementation of
DISCONTIG. Because of this, quite a lot of code which is really needed for
NUMA is actually under DISCONTIG #ifdefs. For SPARSEMEM, we changed some
of these #ifdefs to CONFIG_NUMA, but that broke the DISCONTIG=y and NUMA=n
case.

Introducing this new NEED_MULTIPLE_NODES config option allows code that is
needed for both NUMA or DISCONTIG to be separated out from code that is
specific to DISCONTIG.

One great advantage of this approach is that it doesn't require every
architecture to be converted over. All of the current implementations
should "just work", only the ones implementing SPARSEMEM will have to be
fixed up.

The change to free_area_init() makes it work inside, or out of the new
config option.

[PATCH] create mm/Kconfig for arch-independent memory options

With sparsemem being introduced, we need a central place for new
memory-related .config options: mm/Kconfig. This allows us to remove many
of the duplicated arch-specific options.

The new option, CONFIG_FLATMEM, is there to enable us to detangle NUMA and
DISCONTIGMEM. This is a requirement for sparsemem because sparsemem uses
the NUMA code without the presence of DISCONTIGMEM. The sparsemem patches
use CONFIG_FLATMEM in generic code, so this patch is a requirement before
applying them.

Almost all places that used to do '#ifndef CONFIG_DISCONTIGMEM' should use
'#ifdef CONFIG_FLATMEM' instead.
