Without a max deduplication limit for each KSM page, the list of the
rmap_items associated to each stable_node can grow infinitely large.
During the rmap walk each entry can take up to ~10usec to process
because of IPIs for the TLB flushing (both for the primary MMU and the
secondary MMUs with the MMU notifier). With only 16GB of address space
shared in the same KSM page, that would amount to dozens of seconds of
kernel runtime.
A ~256 max deduplication factor will reduce the latencies of the rmap
walks on KSM pages to order of a few msec. Just doing the
cond_resched() during the rmap walks is not enough, the list size must
have a limit too, otherwise the caller could get blocked in (schedule
friendly) kernel computations for seconds, unexpectedly.
There's room for optimization to significantly reduce the IPI delivery
cost during the page_referenced(), but at least for page_migration in
the KSM case (used by hard NUMA bindings, compaction and NUMA balancing)
it may be inevitable to send lots of IPIs if each rmap_item->mm is
active on a different CPU and there are lots of CPUs. Even if we ignore
the IPI delivery cost, we've still to walk the whole KSM rmap list, so
we can't allow millions or billions (ulimited) number of entries in the
KSM stable_node rmap_item lists.
The limit is enforced efficiently by adding a second dimension to the
stable rbtree. So there are three types of stable_nodes: the regular
ones (identical as before, living in the first flat dimension of the
stable rbtree), the "chains" and the "dups".
Every "chain" and all "dups" linked into a "chain" enforce the invariant
that they represent the same write protected memory content, even if
each "dup" will be pointed by a different KSM page copy of that content.
This way the stable rbtree lookup computational complexity is unaffected
if compared to an unlimited max_sharing_limit. It is still enforced
that there cannot be KSM page content duplicates in the stable rbtree
itself.
Adding the second dimension to the stable rbtree only after the
max_page_sharing limit hits, provides for a zero memory footprint
increase on 64bit archs. The memory overhead of the per-KSM page
stable_tree and per virtual mapping rmap_item is unchanged. Only after
the max_page_sharing limit hits, we need to allocate a stable_tree
"chain" and rb_replace() the "regular" stable_node with the newly
allocated stable_node "chain". After that we simply add the "regular"
stable_node to the chain as a stable_node "dup" by linking hlist_dup in
the stable_node_chain->hlist. This way the "regular" (flat) stable_node
is converted to a stable_node "dup" living in the second dimension of
the stable rbtree.
During stable rbtree lookups the stable_node "chain" is identified as
stable_node->rmap_hlist_len == STABLE_NODE_CHAIN (aka
is_stable_node_chain()).
When dropping stable_nodes, the stable_node "dup" is identified as
stable_node->head == STABLE_NODE_DUP_HEAD (aka is_stable_node_dup()).
The STABLE_NODE_DUP_HEAD must be an unique valid pointer never used
elsewhere in any stable_node->head/node to avoid a clashes with the
stable_node->node.rb_parent_color pointer, and different from
&migrate_nodes. So the second field of &migrate_nodes is picked and
verified as always safe with a BUILD_BUG_ON in case the list_head
implementation changes in the future.
The STABLE_NODE_DUP is picked as a random negative value in
stable_node->rmap_hlist_len. rmap_hlist_len cannot become negative when
it's a "regular" stable_node or a stable_node "dup".
The stable_node_chain->nid is irrelevant. The stable_node_chain->kpfn
is aliased in a union with a time field used to rate limit the
stable_node_chain->hlist prunes.
The garbage collection of the stable_node_chain happens lazily during
stable rbtree lookups (as for all other kind of stable_nodes), or while
disabling KSM with "echo 2 >/sys/kernel/mm/ksm/run" while collecting the
entire stable rbtree.
While the "regular" stable_nodes and the stable_node "dups" must wait
for their underlying tree_page to be freed before they can be freed
themselves, the stable_node "chains" can be freed immediately if the
stable_node->hlist turns empty. This is because the "chains" are never
pointed by any page->mapping and they're effectively stable rbtree KSM
self contained metadata.

When start_pfn equals end_pfn, __free_pages_memory() has no effect and
__free_memory_core() will finally return (end_pfn - start_pfn) = 0.
This patch returns 0 directly when start_pfn equals end_pfn.

Clang and its -Wunsequenced emits a warning
mm/vmscan.c:2961:25: error: unsequenced modification and access to 'gfp_mask' [-Wunsequenced]
.gfp_mask = (gfp_mask = current_gfp_context(gfp_mask)),
^
While it is not clear to me whether the initialization code violates the
specification (6.7.8 par 19 (ISO/IEC 9899) looks like it disagrees) the
code is quite confusing and worth cleaning up anyway. Fix this by
reusing sc.gfp_mask rather than the updated input gfp_mask parameter.

There are a number of times that we loop over NR_MEM_SECTIONS, looking
for section_present() on each section. But, when we have very large
physical address spaces (large MAX_PHYSMEM_BITS), NR_MEM_SECTIONS
becomes very large, making the loops quite long.
With MAX_PHYSMEM_BITS=46 and a section size of 128MB, the current loops
are 512k iterations, which we barely notice on modern hardware. But,
raising MAX_PHYSMEM_BITS higher (like we will see on systems that
support 5-level paging) makes this 64x longer and we start to notice,
especially on slower systems like simulators. A 10-second delay for
512k iterations is annoying. But, a 640- second delay is crippling.
This does not help if we have extremely sparse physical address spaces,
but those are quite rare. We expect that most of the "slow" systems
where this matters will also be quite small and non-sparse.
To fix this, we track the highest section we've ever encountered. This
lets us know when we will *never* see another section_present(), and
lets us break out of the loops earlier.
Doing the whole for_each_present_section_nr() macro is probably
overkill, but it will ensure that any future loop iterations that we
grow are more likely to be correct.
Kirrill said "It shaved almost 40 seconds from boot time in qemu with
5-level paging enabled for me".

Some hardened environments want to build kernels with slab_nomerge
already set (so that they do not depend on remembering to set the kernel
command line option). This is desired to reduce the risk of kernel heap
overflows being able to overwrite objects from merged caches and changes
the requirements for cache layout control, increasing the difficulty of
these attacks. By keeping caches unmerged, these kinds of exploits can
usually only damage objects in the same cache (though the risk to
metadata exploitation is unchanged).

Patch series "try to save some memory for kmem_cache in some cases", v2.
kmem_cache is a frequently used data in kernel. During the code
reading, I found maybe we could save some space in some cases.
1. On 64bit arch, type int will occupy a word if it doesn't sit well.
2. cpu_slab->partial is just used when CONFIG_SLUB_CPU_PARTIAL is set
3. cpu_partial is just used when CONFIG_SLUB_CPU_PARTIAL is set, while
just save some space on 32bit arch.
This patch (of 3):
On 64bit arch, struct is 8-bytes aligned, so int will occupy a word if
it doesn't sit well.
This patch pack red_left_pad with reserved to save 8 bytes for struct
kmem_cache on a 64bit arch.

2. cpu_slab is empty

Currently code that wants to use set_memory_ro() etc, needs to include
asm/set_memory.h, which doesn't exist on all arches. Some code knows it
only builds on arches which have the header, other code guards the
inclusion with an #ifdef, neither is ideal.
So create linux/set_memory.h. This always exists, so users don't need
an #ifdef just to include the header.
When CONFIG_ARCH_HAS_SET_MEMORY=y it includes asm/set_memory.h,
otherwise it provides empty non-failing implementations.

The mn10300 arch uses a verbatim copy of the asm-generic version and
does not add any own implementations to the header, so use
asm-generic/fb.h instead of duplicating code.

mn10300's asm/device.h is merely including asm-generic/device.h. Thus,
the arch specific header can be omitted and the generic header can be

The motivation for commit abb2ea7dfd82 ("compiler, clang: suppress
warning for unused static inline functions") was to suppress clang's
warnings about unused static inline functions.
For configs without CONFIG_OPTIMIZE_INLINING enabled, such as any non-x86
architecture, `inline' in the kernel implies that
__attribute__((always_inline)) is used.
Some code depends on that behavior, see
https://lkml.org/lkml/2017/6/13/918:
net/built-in.o: In function `__xchg_mb':
arch/arm64/include/asm/cmpxchg.h:99: undefined reference to `__compiletime_assert_99'
arch/arm64/include/asm/cmpxchg.h:99: undefined reference to `__compiletime_assert_99
The full fix would be to identify these breakages and annotate the
functions with __always_inline instead of `inline'. But since we are
late in the 4.12-rc cycle, simply carry forward the forced inlining
behavior and work toward moving arm64, and other architectures, toward
CONFIG_OPTIMIZE_INLINING behavior.

Pull mnt namespace updates from Eric Biederman:
"A big break-through came during this development cycle as a way was
found to maintain the existing umount -l semantics while allowing for
optimizations that improve the performance. That is represented by the
first change in this series moving the reparenting of mounts into
their own pass. This has allowed addressing the horrific performance
of umount -l on a carefully crafted tree of mounts with locks held
(0.06s vs 60s in my testing). What allowed this was not changing where
umounts propagate to while propgating umounts.
The next change fixes the case where the order of the mount whose
umount are being progated visits a tree where the mounts are stacked
upon each other in another order. This is weird but not hard to
implement.
The final change takes advantage of the unchanging mount propgation
tree to skip parts of the mount propgation tree that have already been
visited. Yielding a very nice speed up in the worst case.
There remains one outstanding question about the semantics of umount -l
that I am still discussiong with Ram Pai. In practice that area of the
semantics was changed by 1064f874abc0 ("mnt: Tuck mounts under others
instead of creating shadow/side mounts.") and no regressions have been
reported. Still I intend to finish talking that out with him to ensure
there is not something a more intense use of mount propagation in the
future will not cause to become significant"

Pull GFS2 updates from Bob Peterson:
"We've got eight GFS2 patches for this merge window:
- Andreas Gruenbacher has four patches related to cleaning up the
GFS2 inode evict process. This is about half of his patches
designed to fix a long-standing GFS2 hang related to the inode
shrinker: Shrinker calls gfs2 evict, evict calls DLM, DLM requires
memory and blocks on the shrinker.
These four patches have been well tested. His second set of patches
are still being tested, so I plan to hold them until the next merge
window, after we have more weeks of testing. The first patch
eliminates the flush_delayed_work, which can block.
- Andreas's second patch protects setting of gl_object for rgrps with
a spin_lock to prevent proven races.
- His third patch introduces a centralized mechanism for queueing
glock work with better reference counting, to prevent more races.
-His fourth patch retains a reference to inode glocks when an error
occurs while creating an inode. This keeps the subsequent evict
from needing to reacquire the glock, which might call into DLM and
block in low memory conditions.
- Arvind Yadav has a patch to add const to attribute_group
structures.
- I have a patch to detect directory entry inconsistencies and
withdraw the file system if any are found. Better that than silent
corruption.
- I have a patch to remove a vestigial variable from glock
structures, saving some slab space.

Every developer always thinks that _their_ code is so special and
magical that it should be enabled by default.
And most of them are completely and utterly wrong. That's definitely
the case when you write a specialty driver for a very unsual "security
processor". It does *not* get to mark itself as "default m".
If you solve world hunger, and make a driver that cures people of
cancer, by all means enable it by default. But afaik, the Cavium
CNN55XX does neither.

Pull GCC plugin updates from Kees Cook:
"The big part is the randstruct plugin infrastructure.
This is the first of two expected pull requests for randstruct since
there are dependencies in other trees that would be easier to merge
once those have landed. Notably, the IPC allocation refactoring in
-mm, and many trivial merge conflicts across several trees when
applying the __randomize_layout annotation.
As a result, it seemed like I should send this now since it is
relatively self-contained, and once the rest of the trees have landed,
send the annotation patches. I'm expecting the final phase of
randstruct (automatic struct selection) will land for v4.14, but if
its other tree dependencies actually make it for v4.13, I can send
that merge request too.
Summary:
- typo fix in Kconfig (Jean Delvare)
- randstruct infrastructure"
