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.

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. * emailed patches from David Rientjes <rientjes@google.com>: mm, page_alloc: allow hugepage fallback to remote nodes when madvised mm, page_alloc: avoid expensive reclaim when compaction may not succeed Revert "Revert "Revert "mm, thp: consolidate THP gfp handling into alloc_hugepage_direct_gfpmask"" Revert "Revert "mm, thp: restore node-local hugepage allocations""

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.

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.

Pull powerpc fixes from Michael Ellerman: "An assortment of fixes that were either missed by me, or didn't arrive quite in time for the first v5.4 pull. - Most notable is a fix for an issue with tlbie (broadcast TLB invalidation) on Power9, when using the Radix MMU. The tlbie can race with an mtpid (move to PID register, essentially MMU context switch) on another thread of the core, which can cause stores to continue to go to a page after it's unmapped. - A fix in our KVM code to add a missing barrier, the lack of which has been observed to cause missed IPIs and subsequently stuck CPUs in the host. - A change to the way we initialise PCR (Processor Compatibility Register) to make it forward compatible with future CPUs. - On some older PowerVM systems our H_BLOCK_REMOVE support could oops, fix it to detect such systems and fallback to the old invalidation method. - A fix for an oops seen on some machines when using KASAN on 32-bit. - A handful of other minor fixes, and two new selftests.
