      mm/ksm: add pages_skipped metric · e5a68991
      Stefan Roesch authored 
      This change adds the "pages skipped" metric.  To be able to evaluate how
successful smart page scanning is, the pages skipped metric can be
compared to the pages scanned metric.

The pages skipped metric is a cumulative counter.  The counter is stored
under /sys/kernel/mm/ksm/pages_skipped.

      mm/ksm: add "smart" page scanning mode · 5e924ff5
      Stefan Roesch authored 
      Patch series "Smart scanning mode for KSM", v3.

This patch series adds "smart scanning" for KSM.

What is smart scanning?
=======================
KSM evaluates all the candidate pages for each scan. It does not use historic
information from previous scans. This has the effect that candidate pages that
couldn't be used for KSM de-duplication continue to be evaluated for each scan.

The idea of "smart scanning" is to keep historic information. With the historic
information we can temporarily skip the candidate page for one or several scans.

Details:
========
"Smart scanning" is to keep two small counters to store if the page has been
used for KSM. One counter stores how often we already tried to use the page for
KSM and the other counter stores how often we skip a page.

How often we skip the candidate page depends how often a page failed KSM
de-duplication. The code skips a maximum of 8 times. During testing this has
shown to be a good compromise for different workloads.

New sysfs knob:
===============
Smart scanning is not enabled by default. With /sys/kernel/mm/ksm/smart_scan
smart scanning can be enabled.

Monitoring:
===========
To monitor how effective smart scanning is a new sysfs knob has been introduced.
/sys/kernel/mm/pages_skipped report how many pages have been skipped by smart
scanning.

Results:
========
- Various workloads have shown a 20% - 25% reduction in page scans
  For the instagram workload for instance, the number of pages scanned has been
  reduced from over 20M pages per scan to less than 15M pages.
- Less pages scans also resulted in an overall higher de-duplication rate as
  some shorter lived pages could be de-duplicated additionally
- Less pages scanned allows to reduce the pages_to_scan parameter
  and this resulted in  a 25% reduction in terms of CPU.
- The improvements have been observed for workloads that enable KSM with
  madvise as well as prctl


This patch (of 4):

This change adds a "smart" page scanning mode for KSM.  So far all the
candidate pages are continuously scanned to find candidates for
de-duplication.  There are a considerably number of pages that cannot be
de-duplicated.  This is costly in terms of CPU.  By using smart scanning
considerable CPU savings can be achieved.

This change takes the history of scanning pages into account and skips the
page scanning of certain pages for a while if de-deduplication for this
page has not been successful in the past.

To do this it introduces two new fields in the ksm_rmap_item structure:
age and remaining_skips.  age, is the KSM age and remaining_skips
determines how often scanning of this page is skipped.  The age field is
incremented each time the page is scanned and the page cannot be de-
duplicated.  age updated is capped at U8_MAX.

How often a page is skipped is dependent how often de-duplication has been
tried so far and the number of skips is currently limited to 8.  This
value has shown to be effective with different workloads.

The feature is currently disable by default and can be enabled with the
new smart_scan knob.

The feature has shown to be very effective: upt to 25% of the page scans
can be eliminated; the pages_to_scan rate can be reduced by 40 - 50% and a
similar de-duplication rate can be maintained.

      dax, kmem: calculate abstract distance with general interface · 6bc2cfdf
      Huang Ying authored 
      Previously, a fixed abstract distance MEMTIER_DEFAULT_DAX_ADISTANCE is
used for slow memory type in kmem driver.  This limits the usage of kmem
driver, for example, it cannot be used for HBM (high bandwidth memory).

So, we use the general abstract distance calculation mechanism in kmem
drivers to get more accurate abstract distance on systems with proper
support.  The original MEMTIER_DEFAULT_DAX_ADISTANCE is used as fallback
only.

Now, multiple memory types may be managed by kmem.  These memory types are
put into the "kmem_memory_types" list and protected by
kmem_memory_type_lock.

      acpi, hmat: calculate abstract distance with HMAT · 3718c02d
      Huang Ying authored 
      A memory tiering abstract distance calculation algorithm based on ACPI
HMAT is implemented.  The basic idea is as follows.

The performance attributes of system default DRAM nodes are recorded as
the base line.  Whose abstract distance is MEMTIER_ADISTANCE_DRAM.  Then,
the ratio of the abstract distance of a memory node (target) to
MEMTIER_ADISTANCE_DRAM is scaled based on the ratio of the performance
attributes of the node to that of the default DRAM nodes.

The functions to record the read/write latency/bandwidth of the default
DRAM nodes and calculate abstract distance according to read/write
latency/bandwidth ratio will be used by CXL CDAT (Coherent Device
Attribute Table) and other memory device drivers.  So, they are put in
memory-tiers.c.

      acpi, hmat: refactor hmat_register_target_initiators() · d0376aac
      Huang Ying authored 
      Previously, in hmat_register_target_initiators(), the performance
attributes are calculated and the corresponding sysfs links and files are
created too.  Which is called during memory onlining.

But now, to calculate the abstract distance of a memory target before
memory onlining, we need to calculate the performance attributes for a
memory target without creating sysfs links and files.

To do that, hmat_register_target_initiators() is refactored to make it
possible to calculate performance attributes separately.

      memory tiering: add abstract distance calculation algorithms management · 07a8bdd4
      Huang Ying authored 
      Patch series "memory tiering: calculate abstract distance based on ACPI
HMAT", v4.

We have the explicit memory tiers framework to manage systems with
multiple types of memory, e.g., DRAM in DIMM slots and CXL memory devices.
Where, same kind of memory devices will be grouped into memory types,
then put into memory tiers.  To describe the performance of a memory type,
abstract distance is defined.  Which is in direct proportion to the memory
latency and inversely proportional to the memory bandwidth.  To keep the
code as simple as possible, fixed abstract distance is used in dax/kmem to
describe slow memory such as Optane DCPMM.

To support more memory types, in this series, we added the abstract
distance calculation algorithm management mechanism, provided a algorithm
implementation based on ACPI HMAT, and used the general abstract distance
calculation interface in dax/kmem driver.  So, dax/kmem can support HBM
(high bandwidth memory) in addition to the original Optane DCPMM.


This patch (of 4):

The abstract distance may be calculated by various drivers, such as ACPI
HMAT, CXL CDAT, etc.  While it may be used by various code which hot-add
memory node, such as dax/kmem etc.  To decouple the algorithm users and
the providers, the abstract distance calculation algorithms management
mechanism is implemented in this patch.  It provides interface for the
providers to register the implementation, and interface for the users.

Multiple algorithm implementations can cooperate via calculating abstract
distance for different memory nodes.  The preference of algorithm
implementations can be specified via priority (notifier_block.priority).

      mm/filemap: remove hugetlb special casing in filemap.c · a08c7193
      Sidhartha Kumar authored 
      Remove special cased hugetlb handling code within the page cache by
changing the granularity of ->index to the base page size rather than the
huge page size.  The motivation of this patch is to reduce complexity
within the filemap code while also increasing performance by removing
branches that are evaluated on every page cache lookup.

To support the change in index, new wrappers for hugetlb page cache
interactions are added.  These wrappers perform the conversion to a linear
index which is now expected by the page cache for huge pages.

========================= PERFORMANCE ======================================

Perf was used to check the performance differences after the patch. 
Overall the performance is similar to mainline with a very small larger
overhead that occurs in __filemap_add_folio() and
hugetlb_add_to_page_cache().  This is because of the larger overhead that
occurs in xa_load() and xa_store() as the xarray is now using more entries
to store hugetlb folios in the page cache.

      mm/ksm: test case for prctl fork/exec workflow · 0374af1d
      Stefan Roesch authored 
      This adds a new test case to the ksm functional tests to make sure that
the KSM setting is inherited by the child process when doing a fork/exec.

      mm/ksm: support fork/exec for prctl · 3c6f33b7
      Stefan Roesch authored 
      Patch series "mm/ksm: add fork-exec support for prctl", v4.

A process can enable KSM with the prctl system call.  When the process is
forked the KSM flag is inherited by the child process.  However if the
process is executing an exec system call directly after the fork, the KSM
setting is cleared.  This patch series addresses this problem.

1) Change the mask in coredump.h for execing a new process
2) Add a new test case in ksm_functional_tests


This patch (of 2):

Today we have two ways to enable KSM:

1) madvise system call
   This allows to enable KSM for a memory region for a long time.

2) prctl system call
   This is a recent addition to enable KSM for the complete process.
   In addition when a process is forked, the KSM setting is inherited.

This change only affects the second case.

One of the use cases for (2) was to support the ability to enable
KSM for cgroups. This allows systemd to enable KSM for the seed
process. By enabling it in the seed process all child processes inherit
the setting.

This works correctly when the process is forked. However it doesn't
support fork/exec workflow.

From the previous cover letter:

....
Use case 3:
With the madvise call sharing opportunities are only enabled for the
current process: it is a workload-local decision. A considerable number
of sharing opportunities may exist across multiple workloads or jobs
(if they are part of the same security domain). Only a higler level
entity like a job scheduler or container can know for certain if its
running one or more instances of a job. That job scheduler however
doesn't have the necessary internal workload knowledge to make targeted
madvise calls.
....

In addition it can also be a bit surprising that fork keeps the KSM
setting and fork/exec does not.

use a folio in it to save several compound_head calls, note we use
folio_estimated_sharers(), it is enough to check the folio sharers since
only normal page is handled, if large folio numa balancing is supported, a
precise folio sharers check would be used, no functional change intended.

      mm: memory: add vm_normal_folio_pmd() · 65610453
      Kefeng Wang authored 
      Patch series "mm: convert numa balancing functions to use a folio", v2.

do_numa_pages() only handles non-compound pages, and only PMD-mapped THPs
are handled in do_huge_pmd_numa_page().  But a large, PTE-mapped folio
will be supported so let's convert more numa balancing functions to
use/take a folio in preparation for that, no functional change intended
for now.


This patch (of 6):

The new vm_normal_folio_pmd() wrapper is similar to vm_normal_folio(),
which allow them to completely replace the struct page variables with
struct folio variables.
