Merge active entropy generation updates.

This is admittedly partly "for discussion".  We need to have a way
forward for the boot time deadlocks where user space ends up waiting for
more entropy, but no entropy is forthcoming because the system is
entirely idle just waiting for something to happen.

While this was triggered by what is arguably a user space bug with
GDM/gnome-session asking for secure randomness during early boot, when
they didn't even need any such truly secure thing, the issue ends up
being that our "getrandom()" interface is prone to that kind of
confusion, because people don't think very hard about whether they want
to block for sufficient amounts of entropy.

The approach here-in is to decide to not just passively wait for entropy
to happen, but to start actively collecting it if it is missing.  This
is not necessarily always possible, but if the architecture has a CPU
cycle counter, there is a fair amount of noise in the exact timings of
reasonably complex loads.

We may end up tweaking the load and the entropy estimates, but this
should be at least a reasonable starting point.

As part of this, we also revert the revert of the ext4 IO pattern
improvement that ended up triggering the reported lack of external
entropy.

* getrandom() active entropy waiting:
  Revert "Revert "ext4: make __ext4_get_inode_loc plug""
  random: try to actively add entropy rather than passively wait for it

This reverts commit 72dbcf72.

Instead of waiting forever for entropy that may just not happen, we now
try to actively generate entropy when required, and are thus hopefully
avoiding the problem that caused the nice ext4 IO pattern fix to be
reverted.

So revert the revert.

For 5.3 we had to revert a nice ext4 IO pattern improvement, because it
caused a bootup regression due to lack of entropy at bootup together
with arguably broken user space that was asking for secure random
numbers when it really didn't need to.

See commit 72dbcf72 (Revert "ext4: make __ext4_get_inode_loc plug").

This aims to solve the issue by actively generating entropy noise using
the CPU cycle counter when waiting for the random number generator to
initialize.  This only works when you have a high-frequency time stamp
counter available, but that's the case on all modern x86 CPU's, and on
most other modern CPU's too.

What we do is to generate jitter entropy from the CPU cycle counter
under a somewhat complex load: calling the scheduler while also
guaranteeing a certain amount of timing noise by also triggering a
timer.

I'm sure we can tweak this, and that people will want to look at other
alternatives, but there's been a number of papers written on jitter
entropy, and this should really be fairly conservative by crediting one
bit of entropy for every timer-induced jump in the cycle counter.  Not
because the timer itself would be all that unpredictable, but because
the interaction between the timer and the loop is going to be.

Even if (and perhaps particularly if) the timer actually happens on
another CPU, the cacheline interaction between the loop that reads the
cycle counter and the timer itself firing is going to add perturbations
to the cycle counter values that get mixed into the entropy pool.

As Thomas pointed out, with a modern out-of-order CPU, even quite simple
loops show a fair amount of hard-to-predict timing variability even in
the absense of external interrupts.  But this tries to take that further
by actually having a fairly complex interaction.

This is not going to solve the entropy issue for architectures that have
no CPU cycle counter, but it's not clear how (and if) that is solvable,
and the hardware in question is largely starting to be irrelevant.  And
by doing this we can at least avoid some of the even more contentious
approaches (like making the entropy waiting time out in order to avoid
the possibly unbounded waiting).

Merge hugepage allocation updates from David Rientjes:
 "We (mostly Linus, Andrea, and myself) have been discussing offlist how
  to implement a sane default allocation strategy for hugepages on NUMA
  platforms.

  With these reverts in place, the page allocator will happily allocate
  a remote hugepage immediately rather than try to make a local hugepage
  available. This incurs a substantial performance degradation when
  memory compaction would have otherwise made a local hugepage
  available.

  This series reverts those reverts and attempts to propose a more sane
  default allocation strategy specifically for hugepages. Andrea
  acknowledges this is likely to fix the swap storms that he originally
  reported that resulted in the patches that removed __GFP_THISNODE from
  hugepage allocations.

  The immediate goal is to return 5.3 to the behavior the kernel has
  implemented over the past several years so that remote hugepages are
  not immediately allocated when local hugepages could have been made
  available because the increased access latency is untenable.

  The next goal is to introduce a sane default allocation strategy for
  hugepages allocations in general regardless of the configuration of
  the system so that we prevent thrashing of local memory when
  compaction is unlikely to succeed and can prefer remote hugepages over
  remote native pages when the local node is low on memory."

Note on timing: this reverts the hugepage VM behavior changes that got
introduced fairly late in the 5.3 cycle, and that fixed a huge
performance regression for certain loads that had been around since
4.18.

Andrea had this note:

 "The regression of 4.18 was that it was taking hours to start a VM
  where 3.10 was only taking a few seconds, I reported all the details
  on lkml when it was finally tracked down in August 2018.

     https://lore.kernel.org/linux-mm/20180820032640.9896-2-aarcange@redhat.com/

  __GFP_THISNODE in MADV_HUGEPAGE made the above enterprise vfio
  workload degrade like in the "current upstream" above. And it still
  would have been that bad as above until 5.3-rc5"

where the bad behavior ends up happening as you fill up a local node,
and without that change, you'd get into the nasty swap storm behavior
due to compaction working overtime to make room for more memory on the
nodes.

As a result 5.3 got the two performance fix reverts in rc5.

However, David Rientjes then noted that those performance fixes in turn
regressed performance for other loads - although not quite to the same
degree.  He suggested reverting the reverts and instead replacing them
with two small changes to how hugepage allocations are done (patch
descriptions rephrased by me):

 - "avoid expensive reclaim when compaction may not succeed": just admit
   that the allocation failed when you're trying to allocate a huge-page
   and compaction wasn't successful.

 - "allow hugepage fallback to remote nodes when madvised": when that
   node-local huge-page allocation failed, retry without forcing the
   local node.

but by then I judged it too late to replace the fixes for a 5.3 release.
So 5.3 was released with behavior that harked back to the pre-4.18 logic.

But now we're in the merge window for 5.4, and we can see if this
alternate model fixes not just the horrendous swap storm behavior, but
also restores the performance regression that the late reverts caused.

Fingers crossed.

In predicate_parse, there is an error path that is not going to
out_free instead it returns directly which leads to a memory leak.

This warning can catch issues with constructs like:

    if (state == A || B)

where the developer really meant:

    if (state == A || state == B)

This is currently the only occurrence of the warning in the kernel
tree across defconfig, allyesconfig, allmodconfig for arm32, arm64,
and x86_64. Add the implicit '!= 0' to the WARN_ON statement to fix
the warnings and find potential issues in the future.

Fix to check the difference of nr_args before adding probe
on existing probes. This also may set the error log index
bigger than the number of command parameters. In that case
it sets the error position is next to the last parameter.

For systems configured to always try hard to allocate transparent
hugepages (thp defrag setting of "always") or for memory that has been
explicitly madvised to MADV_HUGEPAGE, it is often better to fallback to
remote memory to allocate the hugepage if the local allocation fails
first.

The point is to allow the initial call to __alloc_pages_node() to attempt
to defragment local memory to make a hugepage available, if possible,
rather than immediately fallback to remote memory.  Local hugepages will
always have a better access latency than remote (huge)pages, so an attempt
to make a hugepage available locally is always preferred.

If memory compaction cannot be successful locally, however, it is likely
better to fallback to remote memory.  This could take on two forms: either
allow immediate fallback to remote memory or do per-zone watermark checks.
It would be possible to fallback only when per-zone watermarks fail for
order-0 memory, since that would require local reclaim for all subsequent
faults so remote huge allocation is likely better than thrashing the local
zone for large workloads.

In this case, it is assumed that because the system is configured to try
hard to allocate hugepages or the vma is advised to explicitly want to try
hard for hugepages that remote allocation is better when local allocation
and memory compaction have both failed.

Memory compaction has a couple significant drawbacks as the allocation
order increases, specifically:

 - isolate_freepages() is responsible for finding free pages to use as
   migration targets and is implemented as a linear scan of memory
   starting at the end of a zone,

 - failing order-0 watermark checks in memory compaction does not account
   for how far below the watermarks the zone actually is: to enable
   migration, there must be *some* free memory available.  Per the above,
   watermarks are not always suffficient if isolate_freepages() cannot
   find the free memory but it could require hundreds of MBs of reclaim to
   even reach this threshold (read: potentially very expensive reclaim with
   no indication compaction can be successful), and

 - if compaction at this order has failed recently so that it does not even
   run as a result of deferred compaction, looping through reclaim can often
   be pointless.

For hugepage allocations, these are quite substantial drawbacks because
these are very high order allocations (order-9 on x86) and falling back to
doing reclaim can potentially be *very* expensive without any indication
that compaction would even be successful.

Reclaim itself is unlikely to free entire pageblocks and certainly no
reliance should be put on it to do so in isolation (recall lumpy reclaim).
This means we should avoid reclaim and simply fail hugepage allocation if
compaction is deferred.

It is also not helpful to thrash a zone by doing excessive reclaim if
compaction may not be able to access that memory.  If order-0 watermarks
fail and the allocation order is sufficiently large, it is likely better
to fail the allocation rather than thrashing the zone.

This reverts commit 92717d42.

Since commit a8282608 ("Revert "mm, thp: restore node-local hugepage
allocations"") is reverted in this series, it is better to restore the
previous 5.2 behavior between the thp allocation and the page allocator
rather than to attempt any consolidation or cleanup for a policy that is
now reverted.  It's less risky during an rc cycle and subsequent patches
in this series further modify the same policy that the pre-5.3 behavior
implements.

Consolidation and cleanup can be done subsequent to a sane default page
allocation strategy, so this patch reverts a cleanup done on a strategy
that is now reverted and thus is the least risky option.

This reverts commit a8282608.

The commit references the original intended semantic for MADV_HUGEPAGE
which has subsequently taken on three unique purposes:

 - enables or disables thp for a range of memory depending on the system's
   config (is thp "enabled" set to "always" or "madvise"),

 - determines the synchronous compaction behavior for thp allocations at
   fault (is thp "defrag" set to "always", "defer+madvise", or "madvise"),
   and

 - reverts a previous MADV_NOHUGEPAGE (there is no madvise mode to only
   clear previous hugepage advice).

These are the three purposes that currently exist in 5.2 and over the
past several years that userspace has been written around.  Adding a
NUMA locality preference adds a fourth dimension to an already conflated
advice mode.

Based on the semantic that MADV_HUGEPAGE has provided over the past
several years, there exist workloads that use the tunable based on these
principles: specifically that the allocation should attempt to
defragment a local node before falling back.  It is agreed that remote
hugepages typically (but not always) have a better access latency than
remote native pages, although on Naples this is at parity for
intersocket.

The revert commit that this patch reverts allows hugepage allocation to
immediately allocate remotely when local memory is fragmented.  This is
contrary to the semantic of MADV_HUGEPAGE over the past several years:
that is, memory compaction should be attempted locally before falling
back.

The performance degradation of remote hugepages over local hugepages on
Rome, for example, is 53.5% increased access latency.  For this reason,
the goal is to revert back to the 5.2 and previous behavior that would
attempt local defragmentation before falling back.  With the patch that
is reverted by this patch, we see performance degradations at the tail
because the allocator happily allocates the remote hugepage rather than
even attempting to make a local hugepage available.

zone_reclaim_mode is not a solution to this problem since it does not
only impact hugepage allocations but rather changes the memory
allocation strategy for *all* page allocations.
