Pull media updates from Mauro Carvalho Chehab:
 "Brazil's Independence Day pull request :-)

  This is one of the biggest media pull requests, with 625 patches
  affecting almost all parts of media (RC, DVB, V4L2, CEC, docs).

  This contains:

   - A lot of new drivers:
     * DVB frontends: mxl5xx, stv0910, stv6111;
     * camera flash: as3645a led driver;
     * HDMI receiver: adv748X;
     * camera sensor: Omnivision 6650 5M driver (ov6650);
     * HDMI CEC: ao-cec meson driver;
     * V4L2: Qualcom camss driver;
     * Remote controller: gpio-ir-tx, pwm-ir-tx and zx-irdec drivers.

   - The DDbridge DVB driver got a massive update, with makes it in sync
     with modern hardware from that vendor;

   - There's an important milestone on this series: the DVB
     documentation was written in 2003, but only started to be updated
     in 2007. It also used to contain several gaps from the time it was
     kept out of tree, mentioning error codes and device nodes that
     never existed upstream. On this series, it received a massive
     update: all non-deprecated digital TV APIs are now in sync with the
     current implementation;

   - Some DVB APIs that aren't used by any upstream driver got removed;

   - Other parts of the media documentation algo got updated, fixing
     some bugs on its PDF output and making it compatible with Sphinx
     version 1.6.

     As the number of hacks required to build PDF output reduced, I hope
     we'll have less troubles as newer versions of our documentation
     toolchain are released (famous last words);

   - As usual, lots of driver cleanups and improvements"

 "This is the first pull request for 4.14, containing most of the code
  changes. It's a quiet series this round, which I think we needed after
  the churn of the last few series. This contains:

   - Fix for a registration race in loop, from Anton Volkov.

   - Overflow complaint fix from Arnd for DAC960.

   - Series of drbd changes from the usual suspects.

   - Conversion of the stec/skd driver to blk-mq. From Bart.

   - A few BFQ improvements/fixes from Paolo.

   - CFQ improvement from Ritesh, allowing idling for group idle.

   - A few fixes found by Dan's smatch, courtesy of Dan.

   - A warning fixup for a race between changing the IO scheduler and
     device remova. From David Jeffery.

   - A few nbd fixes from Josef.

   - Support for cgroup info in blktrace, from Shaohua.

   - Also from Shaohua, new features in the null_blk driver to allow it
     to actually hold data, among other things.

   - Various corner cases and error handling fixes from Weiping Zhang.

   - Improvements to the IO stats tracking for blk-mq from me. Can
     drastically improve performance for fast devices and/or big
     machines.

   - Series from Christoph removing bi_bdev as being needed for IO
     submission, in preparation for nvme multipathing code.

   - Series from Bart, including various cleanups and fixes for switch
     fall through case complaints"

Pull powerpc updates from Michael Ellerman:
 "Nothing really major this release, despite quite a lot of activity.
  Just lots of things all over the place.

  Some things of note include:

   - Access via perf to a new type of PMU (IMC) on Power9, which can
     count both core events as well as nest unit events (Memory
     controller etc).

   - Optimisations to the radix MMU TLB flushing, mostly to avoid
     unnecessary Page Walk Cache (PWC) flushes when the structure of the
     tree is not changing.

   - Reworks/cleanups of do_page_fault() to modernise it and bring it
     closer to other architectures where possible.

   - Rework of our page table walking so that THP updates only need to
     send IPIs to CPUs where the affected mm has run, rather than all
     CPUs.

   - The size of our vmalloc area is increased to 56T on 64-bit hash MMU
     systems. This avoids problems with the percpu allocator on systems
     with very sparse NUMA layouts.

   - STRICT_KERNEL_RWX support on PPC32.

   - A new sched domain topology for Power9, to capture the fact that
     pairs of cores may share an L2 cache.

   - Power9 support for VAS, which is a new mechanism for accessing
     coprocessors, and initial support for using it with the NX
     compression accelerator.

   - Major work on the instruction emulation support, adding support for
     many new instructions, and reworking it so it can be used to
     implement the emulation needed to fixup alignment faults.

   - Support for guests under PowerVM to use the Power9 XIVE interrupt
     controller.

  And probably that many things again that are almost as interesting,
  but I had to keep the list short. Plus the usual fixes and cleanups as
  always.

Currently, aio-nr is incremented in steps of 'num_possible_cpus() * 8'
for io_setup(nr_events, ..) with 'nr_events < num_possible_cpus() * 4':

    ioctx_alloc()
    ...
        nr_events = max(nr_events, num_possible_cpus() * 4);
        nr_events *= 2;
    ...
        ctx->max_reqs = nr_events;
    ...
        aio_nr += ctx->max_reqs;
    ....

This limits the number of aio contexts actually available to much less
than aio-max-nr, and is increasingly worse with greater number of CPUs.

For example, with 64 CPUs, only 256 aio contexts are actually available
(with aio-max-nr = 65536) because the increment is 512 in that scenario.

Note: 65536 [max aio contexts] / (64*4*2) [increment per aio context]
is 128, but make it 256 (double) as counting against 'aio-max-nr * 2':

    ioctx_alloc()
    ...
        if (aio_nr + nr_events > (aio_max_nr * 2UL) ||
        ...
            goto err_ctx;
    ...

This patch uses the original value of nr_events (from userspace) to
increment aio-nr and count against aio-max-nr, which resolves those.

Pull percpu updates from Tejun Heo:
 "A lot of changes for percpu this time around. percpu inherited the
  same area allocator from the original pre-virtual-address-mapped

  with the unfortunate computational complexity of O(number of areas
  allocated from the chunk) per alloc / free.

  With the increase in percpu usage, we're hitting cases where the lack
  of scalability is hurting. The most prominent one right now is bpf
  perpcu map creation / destruction which may allocate and free a lot of
  entries consecutively and it's likely that the problem will become
  more prominent in the future.

  To address the issue, Dennis replaced the area allocator with hinted
  bitmap allocator which is more consistent. While the new allocator
  does perform a bit worse in some cases, it outperforms the old
  allocator way more than an order of magnitude in other more common
  scenarios while staying mostly flat in CPU overhead and completely
  flat in memory consumption"

While debugging a problem, I thought that using

When Linux brings a CPU down and back up, it switches to init_mm and then
loads swapper_pg_dir into CR3.  With PCID enabled, this has the side effect
of masking off the ASID bits in CR3.

This can result in some confusion in the TLB handling code.  If we
bring a CPU down and back up with any ASID other than 0, we end up
with the wrong ASID active on the CPU after resume.  This could
cause our internal state to become corrupt, although major
corruption is unlikely because init_mm doesn't have any user pages.
More obviously, if CONFIG_DEBUG_VM=y, we'll trip over an assertion
in the next context switch.  The result of *that* is a failure to
resume from suspend with probability 1 - 1/6^(cpus-1).

Fix it by reinitializing cpu_tlbstate on resume and CPU bringup.

Introduce MADV_WIPEONFORK semantics, which result in a VMA being empty
in the child process after fork.  This differs from MADV_DONTFORK in one
important way.

If a child process accesses memory that was MADV_WIPEONFORK, it will get
zeroes.  The address ranges are still valid, they are just empty.

If a child process accesses memory that was MADV_DONTFORK, it will get a
segmentation fault, since those address ranges are no longer valid in
the child after fork.

Since MADV_DONTFORK also seems to be used to allow very large programs
to fork in systems with strict memory overcommit restrictions, changing
the semantics of MADV_DONTFORK might break existing programs.

MADV_WIPEONFORK only works on private, anonymous VMAs.

The use case is libraries that store or cache information, and want to
know that they need to regenerate it in the child process after fork.

Examples of this would be:
 - systemd/pulseaudio API checks (fail after fork) (replacing a getpid
   check, which is too slow without a PID cache)
 - PKCS#11 API reinitialization check (mandated by specification)
 - glibc's upcoming PRNG (reseed after fork)
 - OpenSSL PRNG (reseed after fork)

The security benefits of a forking server having a re-inialized PRNG in
every child process are pretty obvious.  However, due to libraries
having all kinds of internal state, and programs getting compiled with
many different versions of each library, it is unreasonable to expect
calling programs to re-initialize everything manually after fork.

A further complication is the proliferation of clone flags, programs
bypassing glibc's functions to call clone directly, and programs calling
unshare, causing the glibc pthread_atfork hook to not get called.

It would be better to have the kernel take care of this automatically.

The patch also adds MADV_KEEPONFORK, to undo the effects of a prior
MADV_WIPEONFORK.

This is similar to the OpenBSD minherit syscall with MAP_INHERIT_ZERO:

/proc/pid/smaps_rollup is a new proc file that improves the performance
of user programs that determine aggregate memory statistics (e.g., total
PSS) of a process.

Android regularly "samples" the memory usage of various processes in
order to balance its memory pool sizes.  This sampling process involves
opening /proc/pid/smaps and summing certain fields.  For very large
processes, sampling memory use this way can take several hundred
milliseconds, due mostly to the overhead of the seq_printf calls in
task_mmu.c.

smaps_rollup improves the situation.  It contains most of the fields of
/proc/pid/smaps, but instead of a set of fields for each VMA,
smaps_rollup instead contains one synthetic smaps-format entry
representing the whole process.  In the single smaps_rollup synthetic
entry, each field is the summation of the corresponding field in all of
the real-smaps VMAs.  Using a common format for smaps_rollup and smaps
allows userspace parsers to repurpose parsers meant for use with
non-rollup smaps for smaps_rollup, and it allows userspace to switch
between smaps_rollup and smaps at runtime (say, based on the
availability of smaps_rollup in a given kernel) with minimal fuss.

By using smaps_rollup instead of smaps, a caller can avoid the
significant overhead of formatting, reading, and parsing each of a large
process's potentially very numerous memory mappings.  For sampling
system_server's PSS in Android, we measured a 12x speedup, representing
a savings of several hundred milliseconds.

One alternative to a new per-process proc file would have been including
PSS information in /proc/pid/status.  We considered this option but
thought that PSS would be too expensive (by a few orders of magnitude)
to collect relative to what's already emitted as part of
/proc/pid/status, and slowing every user of /proc/pid/status for the
sake of readers that happen to want PSS feels wrong.

The code itself works by reusing the existing VMA-walking framework we
use for regular smaps generation and keeping the mem_size_stats
structure around between VMA walks instead of using a fresh one for each
VMA.  In this way, summation happens automatically.  We let seq_file
walk over the VMAs just as it does for regular smaps and just emit
nothing to the seq_file until we hit the last VMA.

Benchmarks:

    using smaps:
    iterations:1000 pid:1163 pss:220023808
    0m29.46s real 0m08.28s user 0m20.98s system

    using smaps_rollup:
    iterations:1000 pid:1163 pss:220702720
    0m04.39s real 0m00.03s user 0m04.31s system

We're using the PSS samples we collect asynchronously for
system-management tasks like fine-tuning oom_adj_score, memory use
tracking for debugging, application-level memory-use attribution, and
deciding whether we want to kill large processes during system idle
maintenance windows.  Android has been using PSS for these purposes for
a long time; as the average process VMA count has increased and and
devices become more efficiency-conscious, PSS-collection inefficiency
has started to matter more.  IMHO, it'd be a lot safer to optimize the
existing PSS-collection model, which has been fine-tuned over the years,
instead of changing the memory tracking approach entirely to work around
smaps-generation inefficiency.

Tim said:

: There are two main reasons why Android gathers PSS information:
:
: 1. Android devices can show the user the amount of memory used per
:    application via the settings app.  This is a less important use case.
:
: 2. We log PSS to help identify leaks in applications.  We have found
:    an enormous number of bugs (in the Android platform, in Google's own
:    apps, and in third-party applications) using this data.
:
: To do this, system_server (the main process in Android userspace) will
: sample the PSS of a process three seconds after it changes state (for
: example, app is launched and becomes the foreground application) and about
: every ten minutes after that.  The net result is that PSS collection is
: regularly running on at least one process in the system (usually a few
: times a minute while the screen is on, less when screen is off due to
: suspend).  PSS of a process is an incredibly useful stat to track, and we
: aren't going to get rid of it.  We've looked at some very hacky approaches
: using RSS ("take the RSS of the target process, subtract the RSS of the
: zygote process that is the parent of all Android apps") to reduce the
: accounting time, but it regularly overestimated the memory used by 20+
: percent.  Accordingly, I don't think that there's a good alternative to
: using PSS.
:
: We started looking into PSS collection performance after we noticed random
: frequency spikes while a phone's screen was off; occasionally, one of the
: CPU clusters would ramp to a high frequency because there was 200-300ms of
: constant CPU work from a single thread in the main Android userspace
: process.  The work causing the spike (which is reasonable governor
: behavior given the amount of CPU time needed) was always PSS collection.
: As a result, Android is burning more power than we should be on PSS
: collection.
:
: The other issue (and why I'm less sure about improving smaps as a
: long-term solution) is that the number of VMAs per process has increased
: significantly from release to release.  After trying to figure out why we
: were seeing these 200-300ms PSS collection times on Android O but had not
: noticed it in previous versions, we found that the number of VMAs in the
: main system process increased by 50% from Android N to Android O (from
: ~1800 to ~2700) and varying increases in every userspace process.  Android
: M to N also had an increase in the number of VMAs, although not as much.
: I'm not sure why this is increasing so much over time, but thinking about
: ASLR and ways to make ASLR better, I expect that this will continue to
: increase going forward.  I would not be surprised if we hit 5000 VMAs on
: the main Android process (system_server) by 2020.
:
: If we assume that the number of VMAs is going to increase over time, then
: doing anything we can do to reduce the overhead of each VMA during PSS
: collection seems like the right way to go, and that means outputting an
: aggregate statistic (to avoid whatever overhead there is per line in
: writing smaps and in reading each line from userspace).

Huge page helps to reduce TLB miss rate, but it has higher cache
footprint, sometimes this may cause some issue.  For example, when
clearing huge page on x86_64 platform, the cache footprint is 2M.  But
on a Xeon E5 v3 2699 CPU, there are 18 cores, 36 threads, and only 45M
LLC (last level cache).  That is, in average, there are 2.5M LLC for
each core and 1.25M LLC for each thread.

If the cache pressure is heavy when clearing the huge page, and we clear
the huge page from the begin to the end, it is possible that the begin
of huge page is evicted from the cache after we finishing clearing the
end of the huge page.  And it is possible for the application to access
the begin of the huge page after clearing the huge page.

To help the above situation, in this patch, when we clear a huge page,
the order to clear sub-pages is changed.  In quite some situation, we
can get the address that the application will access after we clear the
huge page, for example, in a page fault handler.  Instead of clearing
the huge page from begin to end, we will clear the sub-pages farthest
from the the sub-page to access firstly, and clear the sub-page to
access last.  This will make the sub-page to access most cache-hot and
sub-pages around it more cache-hot too.  If we cannot know the address
the application will access, the begin of the huge page is assumed to be
the the address the application will access.

With this patch, the throughput increases ~28.3% in vm-scalability
anon-w-seq test case with 72 processes on a 2 socket Xeon E5 v3 2699
system (36 cores, 72 threads).  The test case creates 72 processes, each
process mmap a big anonymous memory area and writes to it from the begin
to the end.  For each process, other processes could be seen as other
workload which generates heavy cache pressure.  At the same time, the
cache miss rate reduced from ~33.4% to ~31.7%, the IPC (instruction per
cycle) increased from 0.56 to 0.74, and the time spent in user space is
reduced ~7.9%

Christopher Lameter suggests to clear bytes inside a sub-page from end
to begin too.  But tests show no visible performance difference in the
tests.  May because the size of page is small compared with the cache
size.

Thanks Andi Kleen to propose to use address to access to determine the
order of sub-pages to clear.

The hugetlbfs access address could be improved, will do that in another
patch.

This is purely required because exit_aio() may block and exit_mmap() may
never start, if the oom_reap_task cannot start running on a mm with
mm_users == 0.

At the same time if the OOM reaper doesn't wait at all for the memory of
the current OOM candidate to be freed by exit_mmap->unmap_vmas, it would
generate a spurious OOM kill.

If it wasn't because of the exit_aio or similar blocking functions in
the last mmput, it would be enough to change the oom_reap_task() in the
case it finds mm_users == 0, to wait for a timeout or to wait for
__mmput to set MMF_OOM_SKIP itself, but it's not just exit_mmap the
problem here so the concurrency of exit_mmap and oom_reap_task is
apparently warranted.

It's a non standard runtime, exit_mmap() runs without mmap_sem, and
oom_reap_task runs with the mmap_sem for reading as usual (kind of
MADV_DONTNEED).

The race between the two is solved with a combination of
tsk_is_oom_victim() (serialized by task_lock) and MMF_OOM_SKIP
(serialized by a dummy down_write/up_write cycle on the same lines of
the ksm_exit method).

If the oom_reap_task() may be running concurrently during exit_mmap,
exit_mmap will wait it to finish in down_write (before taking down mm
structures that would make the oom_reap_task fail with use after free).

If exit_mmap comes first, oom_reap_task() will skip the mm if
MMF_OOM_SKIP is already set and in turn all memory is already freed and
furthermore the mm data structures may already have been taken down by
free_pgtables.

If the system has more than one swap device and swap device has the node
information, we can make use of this information to decide which swap
device to use in get_swap_pages() to get better performance.

The current code uses a priority based list, swap_avail_list, to decide
which swap device to use and if multiple swap devices share the same
priority, they are used round robin.  This patch changes the previous
single global swap_avail_list into a per-numa-node list, i.e.  for each
numa node, it sees its own priority based list of available swap
devices.  Swap device's priority can be promoted on its matching node's
swap_avail_list.

The current swap device's priority is set as: user can set a >=0 value,
or the system will pick one starting from -1 then downwards.  The
priority value in the swap_avail_list is the negated value of the swap
device's due to plist being sorted from low to high.  The new policy
doesn't change the semantics for priority >=0 cases, the previous
starting from -1 then downwards now becomes starting from -2 then
downwards and -1 is reserved as the promoted value.

Take 4-node EX machine as an example, suppose 4 swap devices are
available, each sit on a different node:
swapA on node 0
swapB on node 1
swapC on node 2
swapD on node 3

After they are all swapped on in the sequence of ABCD.

Current behaviour:
their priorities will be:
swapA: -1
swapB: -2
swapC: -3
swapD: -4
And their position in the global swap_avail_list will be:
swapA   -> swapB   -> swapC   -> swapD
prio:1     prio:2     prio:3     prio:4

New behaviour:
their priorities will be(note that -1 is skipped):
swapA: -2
swapB: -3
swapC: -4
swapD: -5
And their positions in the 4 swap_avail_lists[nid] will be:
swap_avail_lists[0]: /* node 0's available swap device list */
swapA   -> swapB   -> swapC   -> swapD
prio:1     prio:3     prio:4     prio:5
swap_avali_lists[1]: /* node 1's available swap device list */
swapB   -> swapA   -> swapC   -> swapD
prio:1     prio:2     prio:4     prio:5
swap_avail_lists[2]: /* node 2's available swap device list */
swapC   -> swapA   -> swapB   -> swapD
prio:1     prio:2     prio:3     prio:5
swap_avail_lists[3]: /* node 3's available swap device list */
swapD   -> swapA   -> swapB   -> swapC
prio:1     prio:2     prio:3     prio:4

To see the effect of the patch, a test that starts N process, each mmap
a region of anonymous memory and then continually write to it at random
position to trigger both swap in and out is used.

On a 2 node Skylake EP machine with 64GiB memory, two 170GB SSD drives
are used as swap devices with each attached to a different node, the
result is:

runtime=30m/processes=32/total test size=128G/each process mmap region=4G
kernel         throughput
vanilla        13306

TIF_MEMDIE is set only to the tasks whick were either directly selected
by the OOM killer or passed through mark_oom_victim from the allocator
path.  tsk_is_oom_victim is more generic and allows to identify all
tasks (threads) which share the mm with the oom victim.

Please note that the freezer still needs to check TIF_MEMDIE because we
cannot thaw tasks which do not participage in oom_victims counting
otherwise a !TIF_MEMDIE task could interfere after oom_disbale returns.

For ages we have been relying on TIF_MEMDIE thread flag to mark OOM
victims and then, among other things, to give these threads full access
to memory reserves.  There are few shortcomings of this implementation,
though.

First of all and the most serious one is that the full access to memory
reserves is quite dangerous because we leave no safety room for the
system to operate and potentially do last emergency steps to move on.

Secondly this flag is per task_struct while the OOM killer operates on
mm_struct granularity so all processes sharing the given mm are killed.
Giving the full access to all these task_structs could lead to a quick
memory reserves depletion.  We have tried to reduce this risk by giving
TIF_MEMDIE only to the main thread and the currently allocating task but
that doesn't really solve this problem while it surely opens up a room
for corner cases - e.g.  GFP_NO{FS,IO} requests might loop inside the
allocator without access to memory reserves because a particular thread
was not the group leader.

Now that we have the oom reaper and that all oom victims are reapable
after 1b51e65e ("oom, oom_reaper: allow to reap mm shared by the
kthreads") we can be more conservative and grant only partial access to
memory reserves because there are reasonable chances of the parallel
memory freeing.  We still want some access to reserves because we do not
want other consumers to eat up the victim's freed memory.  oom victims
will still contend with __GFP_HIGH users but those shouldn't be so
aggressive to starve oom victims completely.

Introduce ALLOC_OOM flag and give all tsk_is_oom_victim tasks access to
the half of the reserves.  This makes the access to reserves independent
on which task has passed through mark_oom_victim.  Also drop any usage
of TIF_MEMDIE from the page allocator proper and replace it by
tsk_is_oom_victim as well which will make page_alloc.c completely
TIF_MEMDIE free finally.

CONFIG_MMU=n doesn't have oom reaper so let's stick to the original
ALLOC_NO_WATERMARKS approach.

There is a demand to make the oom killer memcg aware which will imply
many tasks killed at once.  This change will allow such a usecase
without worrying about complete memory reserves depletion.

It's been noted that z3fold doesn't scale well when it's run in a large
number of threads on many cores, which can be easily reproduced with fio
'randrw' test with --numjobs=32.  E.g.  the result for 1 cluster (4 cores)
is:

Run status group 0 (all jobs):
   READ: io=244785MB, aggrb=496883KB/s, minb=15527KB/s, ...
  WRITE: io=246735MB, aggrb=500841KB/s, minb=15651KB/s, ...

While for 8 cores (2 clusters) the result is:

Run status group 0 (all jobs):
   READ: io=244785MB, aggrb=265942KB/s, minb=8310KB/s, ...
  WRITE: io=246735MB, aggrb=268060KB/s, minb=8376KB/s, ...

The bottleneck here is the pool lock which many threads become waiting
upon.  To reduce that spin lock contention, z3fold can operate only on
the lists local to the current CPU whenever possible.  Due to the nature
of z3fold unbuddied list handling (it only takes the first entry off the
list on a hot path), if the z3fold pool is big enough and balanced well
enough, limiting search to only local unbuddied list doesn't lead to a
significant compression ratio degrade (2.57x vs 2.65x in our
measurements).

This patch also introduces two worker threads: one for async in-page
object layout optimization and one for releasing freed pages.  This is
done to speed up z3fold_free() which is often on a hot path.

The fio results for 8-core case are now the following:

Run status group 0 (all jobs):
   READ: io=244785MB, aggrb=1568.3MB/s, minb=50182KB/s, ...
  WRITE: io=246735MB, aggrb=1580.8MB/s, minb=50582KB/s, ...

So we're in for almost 6x performance increase.

VMA based swap readahead will readahead the virtual pages that is
continuous in the virtual address space.  While the original swap
readahead will readahead the swap slots that is continuous in the swap
device.  Although VMA based swap readahead is more correct for the swap
slots to be readahead, it will trigger more small random readings, which
may cause the performance of HDD (hard disk) to degrade heavily, and may
finally exceed the benefit.

To avoid the issue, in this patch, if the HDD is used as swap, the VMA
based swap readahead will be disabled, and the original swap readahead
will be used instead.
