Pull io_uring fixes from Jens Axboe: "A few differerent things in here. Seems like syzbot got some more io_uring bits wired up, and we got a handful of reports and the associated fixes are in here. General fixes too, and a lot of them marked for stable. Lastly, a bit of fallout from the async buffered reads, where we now more easily trigger short reads. Some applications don't really like that, so the io_read() code now handles short reads internally, and got a cleanup along the way so that it's now easier to read (and documented).

2020-08-14all arch: remove system call sys_sysctlXiaoming Ni3-173/+1
Since commit 61a47c1ad3a4dc ("sysctl: Remove the sysctl system call"), sys_sysctl is actually unavailable: any input can only return an error. We have been warning about people using the sysctl system call for years and believe there are no more users. Even if there are users of this interface if they have not complained or fixed their code by now they probably are not going to, so there is no point in warning them any longer. So completely remove sys_sysctl on all architectures.

2020-08-14dma-debug: remove debug_dma_assert_idle() functionLinus Torvalds2-50/+1
This remoes the code from the COW path to call debug_dma_assert_idle(), which was added many years ago. Google shows that it hasn't caught anything in the 6+ years we've had it apart from a false positive, and Hugh just noticed how it had a very unfortunate spinlock serialization in the COW path. He fixed that issue the previous commit (a85ffd59bd36: "dma-debug: fix debug_dma_assert_idle(), use rcu_read_lock()"), but let's see if anybody even notices when we remove this function entirely. NOTE! We keep the dma tracking infrastructure that was added by the commit that introduced it. Partly to make it easier to resurrect this debug code if we ever deside to, and partly because that tracking by pfn and offset looks quite reasonable. The problem with this debug code was simply that it was expensive and didn't seem worth it, not that it was wrong per se.

2020-08-14dma-debug: fix debug_dma_assert_idle(), use rcu_read_lock()Hugh Dickins1-18/+9
Since commit 2a9127fcf229 ("mm: rewrite wait_on_page_bit_common() logic") improved unlock_page(), it has become more noticeable how cow_user_page() in a kernel with CONFIG_DMA_API_DEBUG=y can create and suffer from heavy contention on DMA debug's radix_lock in debug_dma_assert_idle(). It is only doing a lookup: use rcu_read_lock() and rcu_read_unlock() instead; though that does require the static ents[] to be moved onstack... ...but, hold on, isn't that radix_tree_gang_lookup() and loop doing quite the wrong thing: searching CACHELINES_PER_PAGE entries for an exact match with the first cacheline of the page in question? radix_tree_gang_lookup() is the right tool for the job, but we need nothing more than to check the first entry it can find, reporting if that falls anywhere within the page. (Is RCU safe here? As safe as using the spinlock was. The entries are never freed, so don't need to be freed by RCU. They may be reused, and there is a faint chance of a race, with an offending entry reused while printing its error info; but the spinlock did not prevent that either, and I agree that it's not worth worrying about. ] [ Side noe: this patch is a clear improvement to the status quo, but the next patch will be removing this debug function entirely. But just in case we decide we want to resurrect the debugging code some day, I'm first applying this improvement patch so that it doesn't get lost - Linus ] Fixes: 3b7a6418c749 ("dma debug: account for cachelines and read-only mappings in overlap tracking") Signed-off-by: Hugh Dickins <hughd@google.com> Acked-by: Dan Williams <dan.j.williams@intel.com> Acked-by: Christoph Hellwig <hch@lst.de> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip Pull timekeeping updates from Thomas Gleixner: "A set of timekeeping/VDSO updates: - Preparatory work to allow S390 to switch over to the generic VDSO implementation. S390 requires that the VDSO data pointer is handed in to the counter read function when time namespace support is enabled. Adding the pointer is a NOOP for all other architectures because the compiler is supposed to optimize that out when it is unused in the architecture specific inline. The change also solved a similar problem for MIPS which fortunately has time namespaces not yet enabled. S390 needs to update clock related VDSO data independent of the timekeeping updates. This was solved so far with yet another sequence counter in the S390 implementation. A better solution is to utilize the already existing VDSO sequence count for this. The core code now exposes helper functions which allow to serialize against the timekeeper code and against concurrent readers. S390 needs extra data for their clock readout function. The initial common VDSO data structure did not provide a way to add that. It now has an embedded architecture specific struct embedded which defaults to an empty struct. Doing this now avoids tree dependencies and conflicts post rc1 and allows all other architectures which work on generic VDSO support to work from a common upstream base. - A trivial comment fix" * tag 'timers-urgent-2020-08-14' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip: time: Delete repeated words in comments lib/vdso: Allow to add architecture-specific vdso data timekeeping/vsyscall: Provide vdso_update_begin/end() vdso/treewide: Add vdso_data pointer argument to __arch_get_hw_counter()

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip Pull more timer updates from Thomas Gleixner: "A set of posix CPU timer changes which allows to defer the heavy work of posix CPU timers into task work context. The tick interrupt is reduced to a quick check which queues the work which is doing the heavy lifting before returning to user space or going back to guest mode. Moving this out is deferring the signal delivery slightly but posix CPU timers are inaccurate by nature as they depend on the tick so there is no real damage. The relevant test cases all passed. This lifts the last offender for RT out of the hard interrupt context tick handler, but it also has the general benefit that the actual heavy work is accounted to the task/process and not to the tick interrupt itself. Further optimizations are possible to break long sighand lock hold and interrupt disabled (on !RT kernels) times when a massive amount of posix CPU timers (which are unpriviledged) is armed for a task/process. This is currently only enabled for x86 because the architecture has to ensure that task work is handled in KVM before entering a guest, which was just established for x86 with the new common entry/exit code which got merged post 5.8 and is not the case for other KVM architectures" * tag 'timers-core-2020-08-14' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip: x86: Select POSIX_CPU_TIMERS_TASK_WORK posix-cpu-timers: Provide mechanisms to defer timer handling to task_work posix-cpu-timers: Split run_posix_cpu_timers()

2020-08-13task_work: only grab task signal lock when neededJens Axboe2-2/+22
If JOBCTL_TASK_WORK is already set on the targeted task, then we need not go through {lock,unlock}_task_sighand() to set it again and queue a signal wakeup. This is safe as we're checking it _after_ adding the new task_work with cmpxchg(). The ordering is as follows: task_work_add() get_signal() -------------------------------------------------------------- STORE(task->task_works, new_work); STORE(task->jobctl); mb(); mb(); LOAD(task->jobctl); LOAD(task->task_works); This speeds up TWA_SIGNAL handling quite a bit, which is important now that io_uring is relying on it for all task_work deliveries.

2020-08-12kdump: append kernel build-id string to VMCOREINFOVijay Balakrishna1-0/+50
Make kernel GNU build-id available in VMCOREINFO. Having build-id in VMCOREINFO facilitates presenting appropriate kernel namelist image with debug information file to kernel crash dump analysis tools. Currently VMCOREINFO lacks uniquely identifiable key for crash analysis automation. Regarding if this patch is necessary or matching of linux_banner and OSRELEASE in VMCOREINFO employed by crash(8) meets the need -- IMO, build-id approach more foolproof, in most instances it is a cryptographic hash generated using internal code/ELF bits unlike kernel version string upon which linux_banner is based that is external to the code. I feel each is intended for a different purpose. Also OSRELEASE is not suitable when two different kernel builds from same version with different features enabled. Currently for most linux (and non-linux) systems build-id can be extracted using standard methods for file types such as user mode crash dumps, shared libraries, loadable kernel modules etc., This is an exception for linux kernel dump. Having build-id in VMCOREINFO brings some uniformity for automation tools. Tyler said: : I think this is a nice improvement over today's linux_banner approach for : correlating vmlinux to a kernel dump. : : The elf notes parsing in this patch lines up with what is described in in : the "Notes (Nhdr)" section of the elf(5) man page. : : BUILD_ID_MAX is sufficient to hold a sha1 build-id, which is the default : build-id type today in GNU ld(2).

2020-08-12mm: proactive compactionNitin Gupta1-0/+9
For some applications, we need to allocate almost all memory as hugepages. However, on a running system, higher-order allocations can fail if the memory is fragmented. Linux kernel currently does on-demand compaction as we request more hugepages, but this style of compaction incurs very high latency. Experiments with one-time full memory compaction (followed by hugepage allocations) show that kernel is able to restore a highly fragmented memory state to a fairly compacted memory state within <1 sec for a 32G system. Such data suggests that a more proactive compaction can help us allocate a large fraction of memory as hugepages keeping allocation latencies low. For a more proactive compaction, the approach taken here is to define a new sysctl called 'vm.compaction_proactiveness' which dictates bounds for external fragmentation which kcompactd tries to maintain. The tunable takes a value in range [0, 100], with a default of 20. Note that a previous version of this patch [1] was found to introduce too many tunables (per-order extfrag{low, high}), but this one reduces them to just one sysctl. Also, the new tunable is an opaque value instead of asking for specific bounds of "external fragmentation", which would have been difficult to estimate. The internal interpretation of this opaque value allows for future fine-tuning. Currently, we use a simple translation from this tunable to [low, high] "fragmentation score" thresholds (low=100-proactiveness, high=low+10%). The score for a node is defined as weighted mean of per-zone external fragmentation. A zone's present_pages determines its weight. To periodically check per-node score, we reuse per-node kcompactd threads, which are woken up every 500 milliseconds to check the same. If a node's score exceeds its high threshold (as derived from user-provided proactiveness value), proactive compaction is started until its score reaches its low threshold value. By default, proactiveness is set to 20, which implies threshold values of low=80 and high=90. This patch is largely based on ideas from Michal Hocko [2]. See also the LWN article [3]. Performance data ================ System: x64_64, 1T RAM, 80 CPU threads. Kernel: 5.6.0-rc3 + this patch echo madvise | sudo tee /sys/kernel/mm/transparent_hugepage/enabled echo madvise | sudo tee /sys/kernel/mm/transparent_hugepage/defrag Before starting the driver, the system was fragmented from a userspace program that allocates all memory and then for each 2M aligned section, frees 3/4 of base pages using munmap. The workload is mainly anonymous userspace pages, which are easy to move around. I intentionally avoided unmovable pages in this test to see how much latency we incur when hugepage allocations hit direct compaction. 1. Kernel hugepage allocation latencies With the system in such a fragmented state, a kernel driver then allocates as many hugepages as possible and measures allocation latency: (all latency values are in microseconds) - With vanilla 5.6.0-rc3 percentile latency –––––––––– ––––––– 5 7894 10 9496 25 12561 30 15295 40 18244 50 21229 60 27556 75 30147 80 31047 90 32859 95 33799 Total 2M hugepages allocated = 383859 (749G worth of hugepages out of 762G total free => 98% of free memory could be allocated as hugepages) - With 5.6.0-rc3 + this patch, with proactiveness=20 sysctl -w vm.compaction_proactiveness=20 percentile latency –––––––––– ––––––– 5 2 10 2 25 3 30 3 40 3 50 4 60 4 75 4 80 4 90 5 95 429 Total 2M hugepages allocated = 384105 (750G worth of hugepages out of 762G total free => 98% of free memory could be allocated as hugepages) 2. JAVA heap allocation In this test, we first fragment memory using the same method as for (1). Then, we start a Java process with a heap size set to 700G and request the heap to be allocated with THP hugepages. We also set THP to madvise to allow hugepage backing of this heap. /usr/bin/time java -Xms700G -Xmx700G -XX:+UseTransparentHugePages -XX:+AlwaysPreTouch The above command allocates 700G of Java heap using hugepages. - With vanilla 5.6.0-rc3 17.39user 1666.48system 27:37.89elapsed - With 5.6.0-rc3 + this patch, with proactiveness=20 8.35user 194.58system 3:19.62elapsed Elapsed time remains around 3:15, as proactiveness is further increased. Note that proactive compaction happens throughout the runtime of these workloads. The situation of one-time compaction, sufficient to supply hugepages for following allocation stream, can probably happen for more extreme proactiveness values, like 80 or 90. In the above Java workload, proactiveness is set to 20. The test starts with a node's score of 80 or higher, depending on the delay between the fragmentation step and starting the benchmark, which gives more-or-less time for the initial round of compaction. As t he benchmark consumes hugepages, node's score quickly rises above the high threshold (90) and proactive compaction starts again, which brings down the score to the low threshold level (80). Repeat. bpftrace also confirms proactive compaction running 20+ times during the runtime of this Java benchmark. kcompactd threads consume 100% of one of the CPUs while it tries to bring a node's score within thresholds. Backoff behavior ================ Above workloads produce a memory state which is easy to compact. However, if memory is filled with unmovable pages, proactive compaction should essentially back off. To test this aspect: - Created a kernel driver that allocates almost all memory as hugepages followed by freeing first 3/4 of each hugepage. - Set proactiveness=40 - Note that proactive_compact_node() is deferred maximum number of times with HPAGE_FRAG_CHECK_INTERVAL_MSEC of wait between each check (=> ~30 seconds between retries).

2020-08-12mm/vmscan: protect the workingset on anonymous LRUJoonsoo Kim1-1/+1
In current implementation, newly created or swap-in anonymous page is started on active list. Growing active list results in rebalancing active/inactive list so old pages on active list are demoted to inactive list. Hence, the page on active list isn't protected at all. Following is an example of this situation. Assume that 50 hot pages on active list. Numbers denote the number of pages on active/inactive list (active | inactive). 1. 50 hot pages on active list 50(h) | 0 2. workload: 50 newly created (used-once) pages 50(uo) | 50(h) 3. workload: another 50 newly created (used-once) pages 50(uo) | 50(uo), swap-out 50(h) This patch tries to fix this issue. Like as file LRU, newly created or swap-in anonymous pages will be inserted to the inactive list. They are promoted to active list if enough reference happens. This simple modification changes the above example as following. 1. 50 hot pages on active list 50(h) | 0 2. workload: 50 newly created (used-once) pages 50(h) | 50(uo) 3. workload: another 50 newly created (used-once) pages 50(h) | 50(uo), swap-out 50(uo) As you can see, hot pages on active list would be protected. Note that, this implementation has a drawback that the page cannot be promoted and will be swapped-out if re-access interval is greater than the size of inactive list but less than the size of total(active+inactive). To solve this potential issue, following patch will apply workingset detection similar to the one that's already applied to file LRU.

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip Pull locking updates from Thomas Gleixner: "A set of locking fixes and updates: - Untangle the header spaghetti which causes build failures in various situations caused by the lockdep additions to seqcount to validate that the write side critical sections are non-preemptible. - The seqcount associated lock debug addons which were blocked by the above fallout. seqcount writers contrary to seqlock writers must be externally serialized, which usually happens via locking - except for strict per CPU seqcounts. As the lock is not part of the seqcount, lockdep cannot validate that the lock is held. This new debug mechanism adds the concept of associated locks. sequence count has now lock type variants and corresponding initializers which take a pointer to the associated lock used for writer serialization. If lockdep is enabled the pointer is stored and write_seqcount_begin() has a lockdep assertion to validate that the lock is held. Aside of the type and the initializer no other code changes are required at the seqcount usage sites. The rest of the seqcount API is unchanged and determines the type at compile time with the help of _Generic which is possible now that the minimal GCC version has been moved up. Adding this lockdep coverage unearthed a handful of seqcount bugs which have been addressed already independent of this. While generally useful this comes with a Trojan Horse twist: On RT kernels the write side critical section can become preemtible if the writers are serialized by an associated lock, which leads to the well known reader preempts writer livelock. RT prevents this by storing the associated lock pointer independent of lockdep in the seqcount and changing the reader side to block on the lock when a reader detects that a writer is in the write side critical section. - Conversion of seqcount usage sites to associated types and initializers" * tag 'locking-urgent-2020-08-10' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip: (25 commits) locking/seqlock, headers: Untangle the spaghetti monster locking, arch/ia64: Reduce <asm/smp.h> header dependencies by moving XTP bits into the new <asm/xtp.h> header x86/headers: Remove APIC headers from <asm/smp.h> seqcount: More consistent seqprop names seqcount: Compress SEQCNT_LOCKNAME_ZERO() seqlock: Fold seqcount_LOCKNAME_init() definition seqlock: Fold seqcount_LOCKNAME_t definition seqlock: s/__SEQ_LOCKDEP/__SEQ_LOCK/g hrtimer: Use sequence counter with associated raw spinlock kvm/eventfd: Use sequence counter with associated spinlock userfaultfd: Use sequence counter with associated spinlock NFSv4: Use sequence counter with associated spinlock iocost: Use sequence counter with associated spinlock raid5: Use sequence counter with associated spinlock vfs: Use sequence counter with associated spinlock timekeeping: Use sequence counter with associated raw spinlock xfrm: policy: Use sequence counters with associated lock netfilter: nft_set_rbtree: Use sequence counter with associated rwlock netfilter: conntrack: Use sequence counter with associated spinlock sched: tasks: Use sequence counter with associated spinlock ...

2020-08-10kbuild: introduce ccflags-remove-y and asflags-remove-yMasahiro Yamada1-2/+2
CFLAGS_REMOVE_<file>.o filters out flags when compiling a particular object, but there is no convenient way to do that for every object in a directory. Add ccflags-remove-y and asflags-remove-y to make it easily. Use ccflags-remove-y to clean up some Makefiles. The add/remove order works as follows: [1] KBUILD_CFLAGS specifies compiler flags used globally [2] ccflags-y adds compiler flags for all objects in the current Makefile [3] ccflags-remove-y removes compiler flags for all objects in the current Makefile (New feature) [4] CFLAGS_<file> adds compiler flags per file. [5] CFLAGS_REMOVE_<file> removes compiler flags per file. Having [3] before [4] allows us to remove flags from most (but not all) objects in the current Makefile. For example, kernel/trace/Makefile removes $(CC_FLAGS_FTRACE) from all objects in the directory, then adds it back to trace_selftest_dynamic.o and CFLAGS_trace_kprobe_selftest.o The same applies to lib/livepatch/Makefile. Please note ccflags-remove-y has no effect to the sub-directories. In contrast, the previous notation got rid of compiler flags also from all the sub-directories. The following are not affected because they have no sub-directories: arch/arm/boot/compressed/ arch/powerpc/xmon/ arch/sh/ kernel/trace/ However, lib/ has several sub-directories. To keep the behavior, I added ccflags-remove-y to all Makefiles in subdirectories of lib/, except the following: lib/vdso/Makefile - Kbuild does not descend into this Makefile lib/raid/test/Makefile - This is not used for the kernel build I think commit 2464a609ded0 ("ftrace: do not trace library functions") excluded too much. In the next commit, I will remove ccflags-remove-y from the sub-directories of lib/.

Before this change, if an interrupt came in while recording another event, and that interrupt also had an event, those events would all have the same time stamp as the event it interrupted. Now, with the new design, those events will have a unique time stamp and rightfully display the time for those events that were recorded while interrupting another event. - Bootconfig how has an "override" operator that lets the users have a default config, but then add options to override the default. - A fix was made to properly filter function graph tracing to the ftrace PIDs.

This require the subsystem to create their own tracing instance, and the trace_array_printk() only writes into those instances.

Patch series "kasan: support stack instrumentation for tag-based mode", v2. This patch (of 5): Prepare Software Tag-Based KASAN for stack tagging support. With Tag-Based KASAN when kernel stacks are allocated via pagealloc (which happens when CONFIG_VMAP_STACK is not enabled), they get tagged. KASAN instrumentation doesn't expect the sp register to be tagged, and this leads to false-positive reports. Fix by resetting the tag of kernel stack pointers after allocation.

2020-08-07mm: adjust vm_committed_as_batch according to vm overcommit policyFeng Tang1-1/+1
When checking a performance change for will-it-scale scalability mmap test [1], we found very high lock contention for spinlock of percpu counter 'vm_committed_as': 94.14% 0.35% [kernel.kallsyms] [k] _raw_spin_lock_irqsave 48.21% _raw_spin_lock_irqsave;percpu_counter_add_batch;__vm_enough_memory;mmap_region;do_mmap; 45.91% _raw_spin_lock_irqsave;percpu_counter_add_batch;__do_munmap; Actually this heavy lock contention is not always necessary. The 'vm_committed_as' needs to be very precise when the strict OVERCOMMIT_NEVER policy is set, which requires a rather small batch number for the percpu counter. So keep 'batch' number unchanged for strict OVERCOMMIT_NEVER policy, and lift it to 64X for OVERCOMMIT_ALWAYS and OVERCOMMIT_GUESS policies. Also add a sysctl handler to adjust it when the policy is reconfigured. Benchmark with the same testcase in [1] shows 53% improvement on a 8C/16T desktop, and 2097%(20X) on a 4S/72C/144T server. We tested with test platforms in 0day (server, desktop and laptop), and 80%+ platforms shows improvements with that test. And whether it shows improvements depends on if the test mmap size is bigger than the batch number computed. And if the lift is 16X, 1/3 of the platforms will show improvements, though it should help the mmap/unmap usage generally, as Michal Hocko mentioned: : I believe that there are non-synthetic worklaods which would benefit from : a larger batch. E.g. large in memory databases which do large mmaps : during startups from multiple threads.

2020-08-07mm: memcontrol: account kernel stack per nodeShakeel Butt2-38/+15
Currently the kernel stack is being accounted per-zone. There is no need to do that. In addition due to being per-zone, memcg has to keep a separate MEMCG_KERNEL_STACK_KB. Make the stat per-node and deprecate MEMCG_KERNEL_STACK_KB as memcg_stat_item is an extension of node_stat_item. In addition localize the kernel stack stats updates to account_kernel_stack().

2020-08-07mm: memcg: convert vmstat slab counters to bytesRoman Gushchin1-1/+1
In order to prepare for per-object slab memory accounting, convert NR_SLAB_RECLAIMABLE and NR_SLAB_UNRECLAIMABLE vmstat items to bytes. To make it obvious, rename them to NR_SLAB_RECLAIMABLE_B and NR_SLAB_UNRECLAIMABLE_B (similar to NR_KERNEL_STACK_KB). Internally global and per-node counters are stored in pages, however memcg and lruvec counters are stored in bytes. This scheme may look weird, but only for now. As soon as slab pages will be shared between multiple cgroups, global and node counters will reflect the total number of slab pages. However memcg and lruvec counters will be used for per-memcg slab memory tracking, which will take separate kernel objects in the account. Keeping global and node counters in pages helps to avoid additional overhead. The size of slab memory shouldn't exceed 4Gb on 32-bit machines, so it will fit into atomic_long_t we use for vmstats.
