      mm, page_alloc: delete the zonelist_cache · f77cf4e4
      Mel Gorman authored
      The zonelist cache (zlc) was introduced to skip over zones that were
      recently known to be full.  This avoided expensive operations such as the
      cpuset checks, watermark calculations and zone_reclaim.  The situation
      today is different and the complexity of zlc is harder to justify.
      
      1) The cpuset checks are no-ops unless a cpuset is active and in general
         are a lot cheaper.
      
      2) zone_reclaim is now disabled by default and I suspect that was a large
         source of the cost that zlc wanted to avoid. When it is enabled, it's
         known to be a major source of stalling when nodes fill up and it's
         unwise to hit every other user with the overhead.
      
      3) Watermark checks are expensive to calculate for high-order
         allocation requests. Later patches in this series will reduce the cost
         of the watermark checking.
      
      4) The most important issue is that in the current implementation it
         is possible for a failed THP allocation to mark a zone full for order-0
         allocations and cause a fallback to remote nodes.
      
      The last issue could be addressed with additional complexity but as the
      benefit of zlc is questionable, it is better to remove it.  If stalls due
      to zone_reclaim are ever reported then an alternative would be to
      introduce deferring logic based on a timeout inside zone_reclaim itself
      and leave the page allocator fast paths alone.
      
      The impact on page-allocator microbenchmarks is negligible as they don't
      hit the paths where the zlc comes into play.  Most page-reclaim related
      workloads showed no noticeable difference as a result of the removal.
      
      The impact was noticeable in a workload called "stutter".  One part uses a
      lot of anonymous memory, a second measures mmap latency and a third copies
      a large file.  In an ideal world the latency application would not notice
      the mmap latency.  On a 2-node machine the results of this patch are

      Note that the maximum stall latency went from 24 seconds to 12 which is
      still bad but an improvement.  The milage varies considerably 2-node
      machine on an earlier test went from 494 seconds to 47 seconds and a
      4-node machine that tested an earlier version of this patch went from a
      worst case stall time of 6 seconds to 67ms.  The nature of the benchmark
      is inherently unpredictable as it is hammering the system and the milage
      will vary between machines.
      
      There is a secondary impact with potentially more direct reclaim because
      zones are now being considered instead of being skipped by zlc.  In this
      particular test run it did not occur so will not be described.  However,
      in at least one test the following was observed
      
      1. Direct reclaim rates were higher. This was likely due to direct reclaim
        being entered instead of the zlc disabling a zone and busy looping.
        Busy looping may have the effect of allowing kswapd to make more
        progress and in some cases may be better overall. If this is found then
        the correct action is to put direct reclaimers to sleep on a waitqueue
        and allow kswapd make forward progress. Busy looping on the zlc is even
        worse than when the allocator used to blindly call congestion_wait().
      
      2. There was higher swap activity as direct reclaim was active.
      
      3. Direct reclaim efficiency was lower. This is related to 1 as more
        scanning activity also encountered more pages that could not be
        immediately reclaimed
      
      In that case, the direct page scan and reclaim rates are noticeable but
      it is not considered a problem for a few reasons
      
      1. The test is primarily concerned with latency. The mmap attempts are also
         faulted which means there are THP allocation requests. The ZLC could
         cause zones to be disabled causing the process to busy loop instead
         of reclaiming.  This looks like elevated direct reclaim activity but
         it's the correct action to take based on what processes requested.
      
      2. The test hammers reclaim and compaction heavily. The number of successful
         THP faults is highly variable but affects the reclaim stats. It's not a
         realistic or reasonable measure of page reclaim activity.
      
      3. No other page-reclaim intensive workload that was tested showed a problem.
      
      4. If a workload is identified that benefitted from the busy looping then it
         should be fixed by having direct reclaimers sleep on a wait queue until
         woken by kswapd instead of busy looping. We had this class of problem before
         when congestion_waits() with a fixed timeout was a brain damaged decision
         but happened to benefit some workloads.
      
      If a workload is identified that relied on the zlc to busy loop then it
      should be fixed correctly and have a direct reclaimer sleep on a waitqueue
      until woken by kswapd.

      mm, page_alloc: rename __GFP_WAIT to __GFP_RECLAIM · 71baba4b
      Mel Gorman authored
      __GFP_WAIT was used to signal that the caller was in atomic context and
      could not sleep.  Now it is possible to distinguish between true atomic
      context and callers that are not willing to sleep.  The latter should
      clear __GFP_DIRECT_RECLAIM so kswapd will still wake.  As clearing
      __GFP_WAIT behaves differently, there is a risk that people will clear the
      wrong flags.  This patch renames __GFP_WAIT to __GFP_RECLAIM to clearly
      indicate what it does -- setting it allows all reclaim activity, clearing
      them prevents it.

      mm: page_alloc: remove GFP_IOFS · 40113370
      Mel Gorman authored
      GFP_IOFS was intended to be shorthand for clearing two flags, not a set of
      allocation flags.  There is only one user of this flag combination now and
      there appears to be no reason why Lustre had to be protected from reclaim
      stalls.  As none of the sites appear to be atomic, this patch simply
      deletes GFP_IOFS and converts Lustre to using GFP_KERNEL, GFP_NOFS or
      GFP_NOIO as appropriate.

      mm, page_alloc: distinguish between being unable to sleep, unwilling to sleep... · d0164adc

      mm, page_alloc: distinguish between being unable to sleep, unwilling to sleep and avoiding waking kswapd
      
      __GFP_WAIT has been used to identify atomic context in callers that hold
      spinlocks or are in interrupts.  They are expected to be high priority and
      have access one of two watermarks lower than "min" which can be referred
      to as the "atomic reserve".  __GFP_HIGH users get access to the first
      lower watermark and can be called the "high priority reserve".
      
      Over time, callers had a requirement to not block when fallback options
      were available.  Some have abused __GFP_WAIT leading to a situation where
      an optimisitic allocation with a fallback option can access atomic
      reserves.
      
      This patch uses __GFP_ATOMIC to identify callers that are truely atomic,
      cannot sleep and have no alternative.  High priority users continue to use
      __GFP_HIGH.  __GFP_DIRECT_RECLAIM identifies callers that can sleep and
      are willing to enter direct reclaim.  __GFP_KSWAPD_RECLAIM to identify
      callers that want to wake kswapd for background reclaim.  __GFP_WAIT is
      redefined as a caller that is willing to enter direct reclaim and wake
      kswapd for background reclaim.
      
      This patch then converts a number of sites
      
      o __GFP_ATOMIC is used by callers that are high priority and have memory
        pools for those requests. GFP_ATOMIC uses this flag.
      
      o Callers that have a limited mempool to guarantee forward progress clear
        __GFP_DIRECT_RECLAIM but keep __GFP_KSWAPD_RECLAIM. bio allocations fall
        into this category where kswapd will still be woken but atomic reserves
        are not used as there is a one-entry mempool to guarantee progress.
      
      o Callers that are checking if they are non-blocking should use the
        helper gfpflags_allow_blocking() where possible. This is because
        checking for __GFP_WAIT as was done historically now can trigger false
        positives. Some exceptions like dm-crypt.c exist where the code intent
        is clearer if __GFP_DIRECT_RECLAIM is used instead of the helper due to
        flag manipulations.
      
      o Callers that built their own GFP flags instead of starting with GFP_KERNEL
        and friends now also need to specify __GFP_KSWAPD_RECLAIM.
      
      The first key hazard to watch out for is callers that removed __GFP_WAIT
      and was depending on access to atomic reserves for inconspicuous reasons.
      In some cases it may be appropriate for them to use __GFP_HIGH.
      
      The second key hazard is callers that assembled their own combination of
      GFP flags instead of starting with something like GFP_KERNEL.  They may
      now wish to specify __GFP_KSWAPD_RECLAIM.  It's almost certainly harmless
      if it's missed in most cases as other activity will wake kswapd.

      mm, page_alloc: use masks and shifts when converting GFP flags to migrate types · 016c13da
      Mel Gorman authored
      This patch redefines which GFP bits are used for specifying mobility and
      the order of the migrate types.  Once redefined it's possible to convert
      GFP flags to a migrate type with a simple mask and shift.  The only
      downside is that readers of OOM kill messages and allocation failures may
      have been used to the existing values but scripts/gfp-translate will help.

      mm, page_alloc: remove unnecessary parameter from zone_watermark_ok_safe · e2b19197
      Mel Gorman authored
      Overall, the intent of this series is to remove the zonelist cache which
      was introduced to avoid high overhead in the page allocator.  Once this is
      done, it is necessary to reduce the cost of watermark checks.
      
      The series starts with minor micro-optimisations.
      
      Next it notes that GFP flags that affect watermark checks are abused.
      __GFP_WAIT historically identified callers that could not sleep and could
      access reserves.  This was later abused to identify callers that simply
      prefer to avoid sleeping and have other options.  A patch distinguishes
      between atomic callers, high-priority callers and those that simply wish
      to avoid sleep.
      
      The zonelist cache has been around for a long time but it is of dubious
      merit with a lot of complexity and some issues that are explained.  The
      most important issue is that a failed THP allocation can cause a zone to
      be treated as "full".  This potentially causes unnecessary stalls, reclaim
      activity or remote fallbacks.  The issues could be fixed but it's not
      worth it.  The series places a small number of other micro-optimisations
      on top before examining GFP flags watermarks.
      
      High-order watermarks enforcement can cause high-order allocations to fail
      even though pages are free.  The watermark checks both protect high-order
      atomic allocations and make kswapd aware of high-order pages but there is
      a much better way that can be handled using migrate types.  This series
      uses page grouping by mobility to reserve pageblocks for high-order
      allocations with the size of the reservation depending on demand.  kswapd
      awareness is maintained by examining the free lists.  By patch 12 in this
      series, there are no high-order watermark checks while preserving the
      properties that motivated the introduction of the watermark checks.
      
      This patch (of 10):
      
      No user of zone_watermark_ok_safe() specifies alloc_flags.  This patch
      removes the unnecessary parameter.

      mfd: avoid newly introduced compiler warning · 4dcee4d8
      Linus Torvalds authored
      Commit b158b69a ("mfd: rtsx: Simplify function return logic")
      removed the use of the 'err' variable, but left the variable itself
      around, resulting in gcc quite reasonably warning:
      
          drivers/mfd/rtsx_pcr.c: In function ‘rtsx_pci_set_pull_ctl’:
          drivers/mfd/rtsx_pcr.c:565:6: warning: unused variable ‘err’ [-Wunused-variable]
            int err;
                ^
      
      Get rid of the unused variable, and avoid the new warning.

      x86: don't make DEBUG_WX default to 'y' even with DEBUG_RODATA · 54727e6e
      Linus Torvalds authored
      It turns out that we still have issues with the EFI memory map that ends
      up polluting our kernel page tables with writable executable pages.
      
      That will get sorted out, but in the meantime let's not make the scary
      complaint about them be on by default.  The code is useful for
      developers, but not ready for end user testing yet.

      Eric B Munson authored
      Test the mmap() flag, and the mlockall() flag.  These tests ensure that
      pages are not faulted in until they are accessed, that the pages are
      unevictable once faulted in, and that VMA splitting and merging works with
      the new VM flag.  The second test ensures that mlock limits are respected.
       Note that the limit test needs to be run a normal user.
      
      Also add tests to use the new mlock2 family of system calls.

      mm: mlock: add mlock flags to enable VM_LOCKONFAULT usage · b0f205c2
      Eric B Munson authored
      The previous patch introduced a flag that specified pages in a VMA should
      be placed on the unevictable LRU, but they should not be made present when
      the area is created.  This patch adds the ability to set this state via
      the new mlock system calls.
      
      We add MLOCK_ONFAULT for mlock2 and MCL_ONFAULT for mlockall.
      MLOCK_ONFAULT will set the VM_LOCKONFAULT modifier for VM_LOCKED.
      MCL_ONFAULT should be used as a modifier to the two other mlockall flags.
      When used with MCL_CURRENT, all current mappings will be marked with
      VM_LOCKED | VM_LOCKONFAULT.  When used with MCL_FUTURE, the mm->def_flags
      will be marked with VM_LOCKED | VM_LOCKONFAULT.  When used with both
      MCL_CURRENT and MCL_FUTURE, all current mappings and mm->def_flags will be
      marked with VM_LOCKED | VM_LOCKONFAULT.
      
      Prior to this patch, mlockall() will unconditionally clear the
      mm->def_flags any time it is called without MCL_FUTURE.  This behavior is
      maintained after adding MCL_ONFAULT.  If a call to mlockall(MCL_FUTURE) is
      followed by mlockall(MCL_CURRENT), the mm->def_flags will be cleared and
      new VMAs will be unlocked.  This remains true with or without MCL_ONFAULT
      in either mlockall() invocation.
      
      munlock() will unconditionally clear both vma flags.  munlockall()
      unconditionally clears for VMA flags on all VMAs and in the mm->def_flags
      field.

      mm: introduce VM_LOCKONFAULT · de60f5f1
      Eric B Munson authored
      The cost of faulting in all memory to be locked can be very high when
      working with large mappings.  If only portions of the mapping will be used
      this can incur a high penalty for locking.
      
      For the example of a large file, this is the usage pattern for a large
      statical language model (probably applies to other statical or graphical
      models as well).  For the security example, any application transacting in
      data that cannot be swapped out (credit card data, medical records, etc).
      
      This patch introduces the ability to request that pages are not
      pre-faulted, but are placed on the unevictable LRU when they are finally
      faulted in.  The VM_LOCKONFAULT flag will be used together with VM_LOCKED
      and has no effect when set without VM_LOCKED.  Setting the VM_LOCKONFAULT
      flag for a VMA will cause pages faulted into that VMA to be added to the
      unevictable LRU when they are faulted or if they are already present, but
      will not cause any missing pages to be faulted in.
      
      Exposing this new lock state means that we cannot overload the meaning of
      the FOLL_POPULATE flag any longer.  Prior to this patch it was used to
      mean that the VMA for a fault was locked.  This means we need the new
      FOLL_MLOCK flag to communicate the locked state of a VMA.  FOLL_POPULATE
      will now only control if the VMA should be populated and in the case of
      VM_LOCKONFAULT, it will not be set.

      mm: mlock: add new mlock system call · a8ca5d0e
      Eric B Munson authored
      With the refactored mlock code, introduce a new system call for mlock.
      The new call will allow the user to specify what lock states are being
      added.  mlock2 is trivial at the moment, but a follow on patch will add a
      new mlock state making it useful.

      mm: mlock: refactor mlock, munlock, and munlockall code · 1aab92ec
      Eric B Munson authored
      mlock() allows a user to control page out of program memory, but this
      comes at the cost of faulting in the entire mapping when it is allocated.
      For large mappings where the entire area is not necessary this is not
      ideal.  Instead of forcing all locked pages to be present when they are
      allocated, this set creates a middle ground.  Pages are marked to be
      placed on the unevictable LRU (locked) when they are first used, but they
      are not faulted in by the mlock call.
      
      This series introduces a new mlock() system call that takes a flags
      argument along with the start address and size.  This flags argument gives
      the caller the ability to request memory be locked in the traditional way,
      or to be locked after the page is faulted in.  A new MCL flag is added to
      mirror the lock on fault behavior from mlock() in mlockall().
      
      There are two main use cases that this set covers.  The first is the
      security focussed mlock case.  A buffer is needed that cannot be written
      to swap.  The maximum size is known, but on average the memory used is
      significantly less than this maximum.  With lock on fault, the buffer is
      guaranteed to never be paged out without consuming the maximum size every
      time such a buffer is created.
      
      The second use case is focussed on performance.  Portions of a large file
      are needed and we want to keep the used portions in memory once accessed.
      This is the case for large graphical models where the path through the
      graph is not known until run time.  The entire graph is unlikely to be
      used in a given invocation, but once a node has been used it needs to stay
      resident for further processing.  Given these constraints we have a number
      of options.  We can potentially waste a large amount of memory by mlocking
      the entire region (this can also cause a significant stall at startup as
      the entire file is read in).  We can mlock every page as we access them
      without tracking if the page is already resident but this introduces large
      overhead for each access.  The third option is mapping the entire region
      with PROT_NONE and using a signal handler for SIGSEGV to
      mprotect(PROT_READ) and mlock() the needed page.  Doing this page at a
      time adds a significant performance penalty.  Batching can be used to
      mitigate this overhead, but in order to safely avoid trying to mprotect
      pages outside of the mapping, the boundaries of each mapping to be used in
      this way must be tracked and available to the signal handler.  This is
      precisely what the mm system in the kernel should already be doing.
      
      For mlock(MLOCK_ONFAULT) the user is charged against RLIMIT_MEMLOCK as if
      mlock(MLOCK_LOCKED) or mmap(MAP_LOCKED) was used, so when the VMA is
      created not when the pages are faulted in.  For mlockall(MCL_ONFAULT) the
      user is charged as if MCL_FUTURE was used.  This decision was made to keep
      the accounting checks out of the page fault path.
      
      To illustrate the benefit of this set I wrote a test program that mmaps a
      5 GB file filled with random data and then makes 15,000,000 accesses to
      random addresses in that mapping.  The test program was run 20 times for
      each setup.  Results are reported for two program portions, setup and
      execution.  The setup phase is calling mmap and optionally mlock on the
      entire region.  For most experiments this is trivial, but it highlights
      the cost of faulting in the entire region.  Results are averages across
      the 20 runs in milliseconds.
      
      mmap with mlock(MLOCK_LOCKED) on entire range:
      Setup avg:      8228.666
      Processing avg: 8274.257
      
      mmap with mlock(MLOCK_LOCKED) before each access:
      Setup avg:      0.113
      Processing avg: 90993.552
      
      mmap with PROT_NONE and signal handler and batch size of 1 page:
      With the default value in max_map_count, this gets ENOMEM as I attempt
      to change the permissions, after upping the sysctl significantly I get:
      Setup avg:      0.058
      Processing avg: 69488.073
      mmap with PROT_NONE and signal handler and batch size of 8 pages:
      Setup avg:      0.068
      Processing avg: 38204.116
      
      mmap with PROT_NONE and signal handler and batch size of 16 pages:
      Setup avg:      0.044
      Processing avg: 29671.180
      
      mmap with mlock(MLOCK_ONFAULT) on entire range:
      Setup avg:      0.189
      Processing avg: 17904.899
      
      The signal handler in the batch cases faulted in memory in two steps to
      avoid having to know the start and end of the faulting mapping.  The first
      step covers the page that caused the fault as we know that it will be
      possible to lock.  The second step speculatively tries to mlock and
      mprotect the batch size - 1 pages that follow.  There may be a clever way
      to avoid this without having the program track each mapping to be covered
      by this handeler in a globally accessible structure, but I could not find
      it.  It should be noted that with a large enough batch size this two step
      fault handler can still cause the program to crash if it reaches far
      beyond the end of the mapping.
      
      These results show that if the developer knows that a majority of the
      mapping will be used, it is better to try and fault it in at once,
      otherwise mlock(MLOCK_ONFAULT) is significantly faster.
      
      The performance cost of these patches are minimal on the two benchmarks I
      have tested (stream and kernbench).  The following are the average values
      across 20 runs of stream and 10 runs of kernbench after a warmup run whose
      results were discarded.

      This patch (of 6):
      
      Extending the mlock system call is very difficult because it currently
      does not take a flags argument.  A later patch in this set will extend
      mlock to support a middle ground between pages that are locked and faulted
      in immediately and unlocked pages.  To pave the way for the new system
      call, the code needs some reorganization so that all the actual entry
      point handles is checking input and translating to VMA flags.

      Currently we already taint the kernel in some cases.  E.g.  if we hit some
      bug in slub memory we call object_err() which will taint the kernel with
      TAINT_BAD_PAGE flag.  But for other kind of bugs kernel left untainted.
      
      Always taint with TAINT_BAD_PAGE if kasan found some bug.  This is useful

      mm, slub, kasan: enable user tracking by default with KASAN=y · 89d3c87e
      Andrey Ryabinin authored
      It's recommended to have slub's user tracking enabled with CONFIG_KASAN,
      because:
      
      a) User tracking disables slab merging which improves
          detecting out-of-bounds accesses.
      b) User tracking metadata acts as redzone which also improves
          detecting out-of-bounds accesses.
      c) User tracking provides additional information about object.
          This information helps to understand bugs.
      
      Currently it is not enabled by default.  Besides recompiling the kernel
      with KASAN and reinstalling it, user also have to change the boot cmdline,
      which is not very handy.
      
      Enable slub user tracking by default with KASAN=y, since there is no good
      reason to not do this.

      kasan: update reported bug types for not user nor kernel memory accesses · e9121076
      Andrey Konovalov authored
      Each access with address lower than
      kasan_shadow_to_mem(KASAN_SHADOW_START) is reported as user-memory-access.
      This is not always true, the accessed address might not be in user space.
      Fix this by reporting such accesses as null-ptr-derefs or
      wild-memory-accesses.
      
      There's another reason for this change.  For userspace ASan we have a
      bunch of systems that analyze error types for the purpose of
      classification and deduplication.  Sooner of later we will write them to
      KASAN as well.  Then clearly and explicitly stated error types will bring
      value.

      mm/kasan: prevent deadlock in kasan reporting · fc5aeeaf
      Aneesh Kumar K.V authored
      When we end up calling kasan_report in real mode, our shadow mapping for
      the spinlock variable will show poisoned.  This will result in us calling
      kasan_report_error with lock_report spin lock held.  To prevent this
      disable kasan reporting when we are priting error w.r.t kasan.

      mm/kasan: don't use kasan shadow pointer in generic functions · f2377d4e
      Aneesh Kumar K.V authored
      We can't use generic functions like print_hex_dump to access kasan shadow
      region.  This require us to setup another kasan shadow region for the
      address passed (kasan shadow address).  Some architectures won't be able
      to do that.  Hence make a copy of the shadow region row and pass that to
      generic functions.

      mm/kasan: rename kasan_enabled() to kasan_report_enabled() · 0ba8663c
      Aneesh Kumar K.V authored
      The function only disable/enable reporting.  In the later patch we will be
      adding a kasan early enable/disable.  Rename kasan_enabled to properly
      reflect its function.

      Documentation/filesystems/proc.txt: a little tidying · a5be3563
      Hugh Dickins authored
      There's an odd line about "Locked" at the head of the description of
      /proc/meminfo: it seems to have strayed from /proc/PID/smaps, so lead it
      back there.  Move "Swap" and "SwapPss" descriptions down above it, to
      match the order in the file (though "PageSize"s still undescribed).
      
      The example of "Locked: 374 kB" (the same as Pss, neither Rss nor Size) is
      so unlikely as to be misleading: just make it 0, this is /bin/bash text;
      which would be "dw" (disabled write) not "de" (do not expand).
