KVM guest has two levels of address translation: guest tlb translates GVA to GPA, and root tlb translates GPA to HPA. By default guest's CCA is controlled by guest tlb, but Loongson-3 maintains all cache coherency by hardware (including multi-core coherency and I/O DMA coherency) so it prefers all guest mappings be cacheable mappings. Thus, we use root tlb to control guest's CCA for Loongson-3.

Loongson-3 has lddir/ldpte instructions and their related CP0 registers are the same as HTW. So we introduce a cpu_guest_has_ldpte flag and use it to indicate whether we need to save/restore HTW related CP0 registers (PWBase, PWSize, PWField and PWCtl).

Loongson-3 based machines can have as many as 16 CPUs, and so does memory slots, so increase KVM_MAX_VCPUS and KVM_USER_MEM_SLOTS to 16.

If a CPU support more than 32bit vmbits (which is true for 64bit CPUs), VPN2_MASK set to fixed 0xffffe000 will lead to a wrong EntryHi in some functions such as _kvm_mips_host_tlb_inv(). The cpu_vmbits definition of 32bit CPU in cpu-features.h is 31, so we still use the old definition.

The code in decode_config4() of arch/mips/kernel/cpu-probe.c asid_mask = MIPS_ENTRYHI_ASID; if (config4 & MIPS_CONF4_AE) asid_mask |= MIPS_ENTRYHI_ASIDX; set_cpu_asid_mask(c, asid_mask); set asid_mask to cpuinfo->asid_mask. So in order to support variable ASID_MASK, KVM_ENTRYHI_ASID should also be changed to cpu_asid_mask(&boot_cpu_data).

After commit 63d04348 ("KVM: x86: move kvm_create_vcpu_debugfs after last failure point") we are creating the pre-vCPU debugfs files after the creation of the vCPU file descriptor. This makes it possible for userspace to reach kvm_vcpu_release before kvm_create_vcpu_debugfs has finished. The vcpu->debugfs_dentry then does not have any associated inode anymore, and this causes a NULL-pointer dereference in debugfs_create_file. The solution is simply to avoid removing the files; they are cleaned up when the VM file descriptor is closed (and that must be after KVM_CREATE_VCPU returns). We can stop storing the dentry in struct kvm_vcpu too, because it is not needed anywhere after kvm_create_vcpu_debugfs returns.

The atomisp_mrfld_power() function isn't actually ever called, because the two call-sites have commented out the use because it breaks on some platforms. That results in: drivers/staging/media/atomisp/pci/atomisp_v4l2.c:764:12: warning: ‘atomisp_mrfld_power’ defined but not used [-Wunused-function] 764 | static int atomisp_mrfld_power(struct atomisp_device *isp, bool enable) | ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ during the build. Rather than commenting out the use entirely, just disable it semantically instead (using a "0 &&" construct), leaving the call in place from a syntax standpoint, and avoiding the warning. I really don't want my builds to have any warnings that can then hide real issues. Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

Pull media updates from Mauro Carvalho Chehab: - Media documentation is now split into admin-guide, driver-api and userspace-api books (a longstanding request from Jon); - The media Kconfig was reorganized, in order to make easier to select drivers and their dependencies; - The testing drivers now has a separate directory; - added a new driver for Rockchip Video Decoder IP; - The atomisp staging driver was resurrected. It is meant to work with 4 generations of cameras on Atom-based laptops, tablets and cell phones. So, it seems worth investing time to cleanup this driver and making it in good shape. - Added some V4L2 core ancillary routines to help with h264 codecs; - Added an ov2740 image sensor driver; - The si2157 gained support for Analog TV, which, in turn, added support for some cx231xx and cx23885 boards to also support analog standards; - Added some V4L2 controls (V4L2_CID_CAMERA_ORIENTATION and V4L2_CID_CAMERA_SENSOR_ROTATION) to help identifying where the camera is located at the device; - VIDIOC_ENUM_FMT was extended to support MC-centric devices; - Lots of drivers improvements and cleanups. * tag 'media/v5.8-1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/mchehab/linux-media: (503 commits) media: Documentation: media: Refer to mbus format documentation from CSI-2 docs media: s5k5baf: Replace zero-length array with flexible-array media: i2c: imx219: Drop <linux/clk-provider.h> and <linux/clkdev.h> media: i2c: Add ov2740 image sensor driver media: ov8856: Implement sensor module revision identification media: ov8856: Add devicetree support media: dt-bindings: ov8856: Document YAML bindings media: dvb-usb: Add Cinergy S2 PCIe Dual Port support media: dvbdev: Fix tuner->demod media controller link media: dt-bindings: phy: phy-rockchip-dphy-rx0: move rockchip dphy rx0 bindings out of staging media: staging: dt-bindings: phy-rockchip-dphy-rx0: remove non-used reg property media: atomisp: unify the version for isp2401 a0 and b0 versions media: atomisp: update TODO with the current data media: atomisp: adjust some code at sh_css that could be broken media: atomisp: don't produce errs for ignored IRQs media: atomisp: print IRQ when debugging media: atomisp: isp_mmu: don't use kmem_cache media: atomisp: add a notice about possible leak resources media: atomisp: disable the dynamic and reserved pools media: atomisp: turn on camera before setting it ...

Searching for a particular memory block by id is an O(n) operation because each memory block's underlying device is kept in an unsorted linked list on the subsystem bus. We can cut the lookup cost to O(log n) if we cache each memory block in an xarray. This time complexity improvement is significant on systems with many memory blocks. For example: 1. A 128GB POWER9 VM with 256MB memblocks has 512 blocks. With this change memory_dev_init() completes ~12ms faster and walk_memory_blocks() completes ~12ms faster. Before: [ 0.005042] memory_dev_init: adding memory blocks [ 0.021591] memory_dev_init: added memory blocks [ 0.022699] walk_memory_blocks: walking memory blocks [ 0.038730] walk_memory_blocks: walked memory blocks 0-511 After: [ 0.005057] memory_dev_init: adding memory blocks [ 0.009415] memory_dev_init: added memory blocks [ 0.010519] walk_memory_blocks: walking memory blocks [ 0.014135] walk_memory_blocks: walked memory blocks 0-511 2. A 256GB POWER9 LPAR with 256MB memblocks has 1024 blocks. With this change memory_dev_init() completes ~88ms faster and walk_memory_blocks() completes ~87ms faster.

A 32TB POWER9 LPAR with 256MB memblocks has 131072 blocks. With this change we complete memory_dev_init() ~37 minutes faster and walk_memory_blocks() at least ~30 minutes faster.

A sparse xarray has a small footprint and an O(log n) lookup is negligibly slower than an O(n) lookup for only the smallest number of memory blocks. 1. A 16GB x86 machine with 128MB memblocks has 132 blocks. With this change memory_dev_init() completes ~300us faster and walk_memory_blocks() completes no faster or slower.

pmd_present() is expected to test positive after pmdp_mknotpresent() as the PMD entry still points to a valid huge page in memory. pmdp_mknotpresent() implies that given PMD entry is just invalidated from MMU perspective while still holding on to pmd_page() referred valid huge page thus also clearing pmd_present() test. This creates the following situation which is counter intuitive. [pmd_present(pmd_mknotpresent(pmd)) = true] This renames pmd_mknotpresent() as pmd_mkinvalid() reflecting the helper's functionality more accurately while changing the above mentioned situation as follows. This does not create any functional change. [pmd_present(pmd_mkinvalid(pmd)) = true] This is not applicable for platforms that define own pmdp_invalidate() via __HAVE_ARCH_PMDP_INVALIDATE.

So the optimization made by commit d9654322 ("thp: increase split_huge_page() success rate") doesn't make sense anymore, which tries to unpin munlocked THPs from pagevec by draining pagevec. Draining lru cache before isolating THP in mlock path is also unnecessary. b676b293 ("mm, thp: fix mapped pages avoiding unevictable list on mlock") added it and 9a73f61b ("thp, mlock: do not mlock PTE-mapped file huge pages") accidentally carried it over after the above optimization went in.

In a 32-bit program, running on arm64 architecture. When the address space below mmap base is completely exhausted, shmat() for huge pages will return ENOMEM, but shmat() for normal pages can still success on no-legacy mode. This seems not fair. For normal pages, the calling trace of get_unmapped_area() is: => mm->get_unmapped_area() if on legacy mode, => arch_get_unmapped_area() => vm_unmapped_area() if on no-legacy mode, => arch_get_unmapped_area_topdown() => vm_unmapped_area() For huge pages, the calling trace of get_unmapped_area() is: => file->f_op->get_unmapped_area() => hugetlb_get_unmapped_area() => vm_unmapped_area() To solve this issue, we only need to make hugetlb_get_unmapped_area() take the same way as mm->get_unmapped_area(). Add *bottomup() and *topdown() for hugetlbfs, and check current mm->get_unmapped_area() to decide which one to use. If mm->get_unmapped_area is equal to arch_get_unmapped_area_topdown(), hugetlb_get_unmapped_area() calls topdown routine, otherwise calls bottomup routine.

sparc32 never registered the memory occupied by the kernel image with memblock_add() and it only reserved this memory with meblock_reserve(). With openbios as system firmware, the memory occupied by the kernel is reserved in openbios and removed from mem.available. The prom setup code in the kernel uses mem.available to set up the memory banks and essentially there is a hole for the memory occupied by the kernel image. Later in bootmem_init() this memory is memblock_reserve()d. Up until recently, memmap initialization would call __init_single_page() for the pages in that hole, the free_low_memory_core_early() would mark them as reserved and everything would be Ok. After the change in memmap initialization introduced by the commit "mm: memmap_init: iterate over memblock regions rather that check each PFN", the hole is skipped and the page structs for it are not initialized. And when they are passed from memblock to page allocator as reserved, the latter gets confused. Simply registering the memory occupied by the kernel with memblock_add() resolves this issue.

This has been fixed by ae46d2aa ("mm/gup: Let __get_user_pages_locked() return -EINTR for fatal signal") in the mean time so ba841078 can be reverted. This patch however doesn't go all the way to revert it because the check for 0 is wrong and confusing here. Firstly it is inherently unsafe to access the page when get_user_pages_locked returns 0 (aka no page returned). Fortunatelly this will not happen because get_user_pages_locked will not return 0 when nr_pages > 0 unless FOLL_NOWAIT is specified which is not the case here.

When LRU cost only shows up on one list, we abruptly stop scanning that list altogether. That's an extreme reaction: by the time the other list starts thrashing and the pendulum swings back, we may have no recent age information on the first list anymore, and we could have significant latencies until the scanner has caught up. Soften this change in the feedback system by ensuring that no list receives less than a third of overall pressure, and only distribute the other 66% according to LRU cost. This ensures that we maintain a minimum rate of aging on the entire workingset while it's being pressured, while still allowing a generous rate of convergence when the relative sizes of the lists need to adjust.

The VM tries to balance reclaim pressure between anon and file so as to reduce the amount of IO incurred due to the memory shortage. It already counts refaults and swapins, but in addition it should also count writepage calls during reclaim. For swap, this is obvious: it's IO that wouldn't have occurred if the anonymous memory hadn't been under memory pressure. From a relative balancing point of view this makes sense as well: even if anon is cold and reclaimable, a cache that isn't thrashing may have equally cold pages that don't require IO to reclaim. For file writeback, it's trickier: some of the reclaim writepage IO would have likely occurred anyway due to dirty expiration. But not all of it - premature writeback reduces batching and generates additional writes. Since the flushers are already woken up by the time the VM starts writing cache pages one by one, let's assume that we'e likely causing writes that wouldn't have happened without memory pressure. In addition, the per-page cost of IO would have probably been much cheaper if written in larger batches from the flusher thread rather than the single-page-writes from kswapd. For our purposes - getting the trend right to accelerate convergence on a stable state that doesn't require paging at all - this is sufficiently accurate. If we later wanted to optimize for sustained thrashing, we can still refine the measurements. Count all writepage calls from kswapd as IO cost toward the LRU that the page belongs to. Why do this dynamically? Don't we know in advance that anon pages require IO to reclaim, and so could build in a static bias? First, scanning is not the same as reclaiming. If all the anon pages are referenced, we may not swap for a while just because we're scanning the anon list. During this time, however, it's important that we age anonymous memory and the page cache at the same rate so that their hot-cold gradients are comparable. Everything else being equal, we still want to reclaim the coldest memory overall. Second, we keep copies in swap unless the page changes. If there is swap-backed data that's mostly read (tmpfs file) and has been swapped out before, we can reclaim it without incurring additional IO.

We split the LRU lists into anon and file, and we rebalance the scan pressure between them when one of them begins thrashing: if the file cache experiences workingset refaults, we increase the pressure on anonymous pages; if the workload is stalled on swapins, we increase the pressure on the file cache instead. With cgroups and their nested LRU lists, we currently don't do this correctly. While recursive cgroup reclaim establishes a relative LRU order among the pages of all involved cgroups, LRU pressure balancing is done on an individual cgroup LRU level. As a result, when one cgroup is thrashing on the filesystem cache while a sibling may have cold anonymous pages, pressure doesn't get equalized between them. This patch moves LRU balancing decision to the root of reclaim - the same level where the LRU order is established. It does this by tracking LRU cost recursively, so that every level of the cgroup tree knows the aggregate LRU cost of all memory within its domain. When the page scanner calculates the scan balance for any given individual cgroup's LRU list, it uses the values from the ancestor cgroup that initiated the reclaim cycle. If one sibling is then thrashing on the cache, it will tip the pressure balance inside its ancestors, and the next hierarchical reclaim iteration will go more after the anon pages in the tree.

Since the LRUs were split into anon and file lists, the VM has been balancing between page cache and anonymous pages based on per-list ratios of scanned vs. rotated pages. In most cases that tips page reclaim towards the list that is easier to reclaim and has the fewest actively used pages, but there are a few problems with it: 1. Refaults and LRU rotations are weighted the same way, even though one costs IO and the other costs a bit of CPU. 2. The less we scan an LRU list based on already observed rotations, the more we increase the sampling interval for new references, and rotations become even more likely on that list. This can enter a death spiral in which we stop looking at one list completely until the other one is all but annihilated by page reclaim. Since commit a528910e ("mm: thrash detection-based file cache sizing") we have refault detection for the page cache. Along with swapin events, they are good indicators of when the file or anon list, respectively, is too small for its workingset and needs to grow. For example, if the page cache is thrashing, the cache pages need more time in memory, while there may be colder pages on the anonymous list. Likewise, if swapped pages are faulting back in, it indicates that we reclaim anonymous pages too aggressively and should back off. Replace LRU rotations with refaults and swapins as the basis for relative reclaim cost of the two LRUs. This will have the VM target list balances that incur the least amount of IO on aggregate.

When shrinking the active file list we rotate referenced pages only when they're in an executable mapping. The others get deactivated. When it comes to balancing scan pressure, though, we count all referenced pages as rotated, even the deactivated ones. Yet they do not carry the same cost to the system: the deactivated page *might* refault later on, but the deactivation is tangible progress toward freeing pages; rotations on the other hand cost time and effort without getting any closer to freeing memory. Don't treat both events as equal. The following patch will hook up LRU balancing to cache and anon refaults, which are a much more concrete cost signal for reclaiming one list over the other. Thus, remove the maybe-IO cost bias from page references, and only note the CPU cost for actual rotations that prevent the pages from getting reclaimed.

Operations like MADV_FREE, FADV_DONTNEED etc. currently move any affected active pages to the inactive list to accelerate their reclaim (good) but also steer page reclaim toward that LRU type, or away from the other (bad). The reason why this is undesirable is that such operations are not part of the regular page aging cycle, and rather a fluke that doesn't say much about the remaining pages on that list; they might all be in heavy use, and once the chunk of easy victims has been purged, the VM continues to apply elevated pressure on those remaining hot pages. The other LRU, meanwhile, might have easily reclaimable pages, and there was never a need to steer away from it in the first place. As the previous patch outlined, we should focus on recording actually observed cost to steer the balance rather than speculating about the potential value of one LRU list over the other. In that spirit, leave explicitely deactivated pages to the LRU algorithm to pick up, and let rotations decide which list is the easiest to reclaim.

Currently, scan pressure between the anon and file LRU lists is balanced based on a mixture of reclaim efficiency and a somewhat vague notion of "value" of having certain pages in memory over others. That concept of value is problematic, because it has caused us to count any event that remotely makes one LRU list more or less preferrable for reclaim, even when these events are not directly comparable and impose very different costs on the system. One example is referenced file pages that we still deactivate and referenced anonymous pages that we actually rotate back to the head of the list. There is also conceptual overlap with the LRU algorithm itself. By rotating recently used pages instead of reclaiming them, the algorithm already biases the applied scan pressure based on page value. Thus, when rebalancing scan pressure due to rotations, we should think of reclaim cost, and leave assessing the page value to the LRU algorithm. Lastly, considering both value-increasing as well as value-decreasing events can sometimes cause the same type of event to be counted twice, i.e. how rotating a page increases the LRU value, while reclaiming it succesfully decreases the value. In itself this will balance out fine, but it quietly skews the impact of events that are only recorded once. The abstract metric of "value", the murky relationship with the LRU algorithm, and accounting both negative and positive events make the current pressure balancing model hard to reason about and modify. This patch switches to a balancing model of accounting the concrete, actually observed cost of reclaiming one LRU over another. For now, that cost includes pages that are scanned but rotated back to the list head. Subsequent patches will add consideration for IO caused by refaulting of recently evicted pages. Replace struct zone_reclaim_stat with two cost counters in the lruvec, and make everything that affects cost go through a new lru_note_cost() function.

When we calculate the relative scan pressure between the anon and file LRU lists, we have to assume that reclaim_stat can contain zeroes. To avoid div0 crashes, we add 1 to all denominators like so: anon_prio = swappiness; file_prio = 200 - anon_prio; [...] /* * The amount of pressure on anon vs file pages is inversely * proportional to the fraction of recently scanned pages on * each list that were recently referenced and in active use. */ ap = anon_prio * (reclaim_stat->recent_scanned[0] + 1); ap /= reclaim_stat->recent_rotated[0] + 1; fp = file_prio * (reclaim_stat->recent_scanned[1] + 1); fp /= reclaim_stat->recent_rotated[1] + 1; spin_unlock_irq(&pgdat->lru_lock); fraction[0] = ap; fraction[1] = fp; denominator = ap + fp + 1; While reclaim_stat can contain 0, it's not actually possible for ap + fp to be 0. One of anon_prio or file_prio could be zero, but they must still add up to 200. And the reclaim_stat fraction, due to the +1 in there, is always at least 1. So if one of the two numerators is 0, the other one can't be. ap + fp is always at least 1. Drop the + 1.

When the splitlru patches divided page cache and swap-backed pages into separate LRU lists, the pressure balance between the lists was biased to account for the fact that streaming IO can cause memory pressure with a flood of pages that are used only once. New page cache additions would tip the balance toward the file LRU, and repeat access would neutralize that bias again. This ensured that page reclaim would always go for used-once cache first. Since e9868505 ("mm,vmscan: only evict file pages when we have plenty"), page reclaim generally skips over swap-backed memory entirely as long as there is used-once cache present, and will apply the LRU balancing when only repeatedly accessed cache pages are left - at which point the previous use-once bias will have been neutralized. This makes the use-once cache balancing bias unnecessary.

We activate cache refaults with reuse distances in pages smaller than the size of the total cache. This allows new pages with competitive access frequencies to establish themselves, as well as challenge and potentially displace pages on the active list that have gone cold. However, that assumes that active cache can only replace other active cache in a competition for the hottest memory. This is not a great default assumption. The page cache might be thrashing while there are enough completely cold and unused anonymous pages sitting around that we'd only have to write to swap once to stop all IO from the cache. Activate cache refaults when their reuse distance in pages is smaller than the total userspace workingset, including anonymous pages. Reclaim can still decide how to balance pressure among the two LRUs depending on the IO situation. Rotational drives will prefer avoiding random IO from swap and go harder after cache. But fundamentally, hot cache should be able to compete with anon pages for a place in RAM.
