In free_percpu() we sometimes call pcpu_schedule_balance_work() to
queue a work item (which does a wakeup) while holding pcpu_lock.
This creates an unnecessary lock dependency between pcpu_lock and
the scheduler's pi_lock. There are other places where we call
pcpu_schedule_balance_work() without hold pcpu_lock, and this case
doesn't need to be different.
Moving the call outside the lock prevents the following lockdep splat
when running tools/testing/selftests/bpf/{test_maps,test_progs} in
sequence with lockdep enabled:

Since commit ad67b74d2469d9b8 ("printk: hash addresses printed with %p"),
at boot "____ptrval____" is printed instead of actual addresses:
percpu: Embedded 38 pages/cpu @(____ptrval____) s124376 r0 d31272 u524288
Instead of changing the print to "%px", and leaking kernel addresses,
just remove the print completely, cfr. e.g. commit 071929dbdd865f77

Just like blocks, chunks now maintain a scan_hint. This can be used to
skip some scanning by promoting the scan_hint to be the contig_hint.
The chunk's scan_hint is primarily updated on the backside and relies on
full scanning when a block becomes free or the free region spans across
blocks.

As mentioned in the last patch, a chunk's hints are no different than a
block just responsible for more bits. This converts chunk level hints to
use a pcpu_block_md to maintain them. This lets us reuse the same hint
helper functions as a block. The left_free and right_free are unused by
the chunk's pcpu_block_md.

In reality, a chunk is just a block covering a larger number of bits.
The hints themselves are one in the same. Rather than maintaining the
hints separately, first introduce nr_bits to genericize
pcpu_block_update() to correctly maintain block->right_free. The next
patch will convert chunk hints to be managed as a pcpu_block_md.

Blocks now remember the latest scan_hint. This can be used on the
allocation path as when a contig_hint is broken, we can promote the
scan_hint to the contig_hint and scan forward from there. This works
because pcpu_block_refresh_hint() is only called on the allocation path
while block free regions are updated manually in
pcpu_block_update_hint_free().

Percpu allocations attempt to do first fit by scanning forward from the
first_free of a block. However, fragmentation from allocation requests
can cause holes not seen by block hint update functions. To address
this, create a local version of bitmap_find_next_zero_area_off() that
remembers the largest area skipped over. The caveat is that it only sees
regions skipped over due to not fitting, not regions skipped due to
alignment.
Prior to updating the scan_hint, a scan backwards is done to try and
recover free bits skipped due to alignment. While this can cause
scanning to miss earlier possible free areas, smaller allocations will
eventually fill those holes due to first fit.

Fragmentation can cause both blocks and chunks to have an early
first_firee bit available, but only able to satisfy allocations much
later on. This patch introduces a scan_hint to help mitigate some
unnecessary scanning.
The scan_hint remembers the largest area prior to the contig_hint. If
the contig_hint == scan_hint, then scan_hint_start > contig_hint_start.
This is necessary for scan_hint discovery when refreshing a block.

Previously, block size was flexible based on the constraint that the
GCD(PCPU_BITMAP_BLOCK_SIZE, PAGE_SIZE) > 1. However, this carried the
overhead that keeping a floating number of populated free pages required
scanning over the free regions of a chunk.
Setting the block size to be fixed at PAGE_SIZE lets us know when an
empty page becomes used as we will break a full contig_hint of a block.
This means we no longer have to scan the whole chunk upon breaking a
contig_hint which empty page management piggybacked off. A later patch
takes advantage of this to optimize the allocation path by only scanning
forward using the scan_hint introduced later too.

In certain cases, requestors of percpu memory may want specific
alignments. However, it is possible to end up in situations where the
contig_hint matches, but the alignment does not. This causes excess
scanning of chunks that will fail. To prevent this, if a small
allocation fails (< 32B), the chunk is moved to the empty list. Once an
allocation is freed from that chunk, it is placed back into rotation.

When a chunk becomes fragmented, it can end up having a large number of
small allocation areas free. The free_bytes sorting of chunks leads to
unnecessary checking of chunks that cannot satisfy the allocation.
Switch to contig_bits sorting to prevent scanning chunks that may not be
able to service the allocation request.

While block hints were always accurate, it's possible when spanning
across blocks that we miss updating the chunk's contig_hint. Rather than
rely on correctness of the boundaries of hints, do a full overlap
comparison.
A future patch introduces the scan_hint which makes the contig_hint
slightly fuzzy as they can at times be smaller than the actual hint.

pcpu_find_block_fit() guarantees that a fit is found within
PCPU_BITMAP_BLOCK_BITS. Iteration is used to determine the first fit as
it compares against the block's contig_hint. This can lead to
incorrectly scanning past the end of the bitmap. The behavior was okay
given the check after for bit_off >= end and the correctness of the
hints from pcpu_find_block_fit().
This patch fixes this by bounding the end offset by the number of bits
in a chunk.

When updating the chunk's contig_hint on the free path of a hint that
does not touch the page boundaries, it was incorrectly using the
starting offset of the free region and the block's contig_hint. This
could lead to incorrect assumptions about fit given a size and better
alignment of the start. Fix this by using (end - start) as this is only
called when updating a hint within a block.

group_cnt array is defined with NR_CPUS entries, but normally
nr_groups will not reach up to NR_CPUS. So there is no issue
to the current code.
Checking other parts of pcpu_build_alloc_info, use nr_groups as
check condition, so make it consistent to use 'group < nr_groups'
as for loop check. In case we do have nr_groups equals with NR_CPUS,
we could also avoid memory access out of bounds.

When a memblock allocation APIs are called with align = 0, the alignment
is implicitly set to SMP_CACHE_BYTES.
Implicit alignment is done deep in the memblock allocator and it can
come as a surprise. Not that such an alignment would be wrong even
when used incorrectly but it is better to be explicit for the sake of
clarity and the prinicple of the least surprise.
Replace all such uses of memblock APIs with the 'align' parameter
explicitly set to SMP_CACHE_BYTES and stop implicit alignment assignment
in the memblock internal allocation functions.
For the case when memblock APIs are used via helper functions, e.g. like
iommu_arena_new_node() in Alpha, the helper functions were detected with
Coccinelle's help and then manually examined and updated where
appropriate.
The direct memblock APIs users were updated using the semantic patch below:

Currently, percpu memory only exposes allocation and utilization
information via debugfs. This more or less is only really useful for
understanding the fragmentation and allocation information at a per-chunk
level with a few global counters. This is also gated behind a config.
BPF and cgroup, for example, have seen an increase in use causing
increased use of percpu memory. Let's make it easier for someone to
identify how much memory is being used.
This patch adds the "Percpu" stat to meminfo to more easily look up how
much percpu memory is in use. This number includes the cost for all
allocated backing pages and not just insight at the per a unit, per chunk
level. Metadata is excluded. I think excluding metadata is fair because
the backing memory scales with the numbere of cpus and can quickly
outweigh the metadata. It also makes this calculation light.

Pul removal of obsolete architecture ports from Arnd Bergmann:
"This removes the entire architecture code for blackfin, cris, frv,
m32r, metag, mn10300, score, and tile, including the associated device
drivers.
I have been working with the (former) maintainers for each one to
ensure that my interpretation was right and the code is definitely
unused in mainline kernels. Many had fond memories of working on the
respective ports to start with and getting them included in upstream,
but also saw no point in keeping the port alive without any users.
In the end, it seems that while the eight architectures are extremely
different, they all suffered the same fate: There was one company in
charge of an SoC line, a CPU microarchitecture and a software
ecosystem, which was more costly than licensing newer off-the-shelf
CPU cores from a third party (typically ARM, MIPS, or RISC-V). It
seems that all the SoC product lines are still around, but have not
used the custom CPU architectures for several years at this point. In
contrast, CPU instruction sets that remain popular and have actively
maintained kernel ports tend to all be used across multiple licensees.
[ See the new nds32 port merged in the previous commit for the next
generation of "one company in charge of an SoC line, a CPU
microarchitecture and a software ecosystem" - Linus ]
The removal came out of a discussion that is now documented at
https://lwn.net/Articles/748074/. Unlike the original plans, I'm not
marking any ports as deprecated but remove them all at once after I
made sure that they are all unused. Some architectures (notably tile,
mn10300, and blackfin) are still being shipped in products with old
kernels, but those products will never be updated to newer kernel
releases.
After this series, we still have a few architectures without mainline
gcc support:
- unicore32 and hexagon both have very outdated gcc releases, but the
maintainers promised to work on providing something newer. At least
in case of hexagon, this will only be llvm, not gcc.
- openrisc, risc-v and nds32 are still in the process of finishing
their support or getting it added to mainline gcc in the first
place. They all have patched gcc-7.3 ports that work to some
degree, but complete upstream support won't happen before gcc-8.1.
Csky posted their first kernel patch set last week, their situation
will be similar
[ Palmer Dabbelt points out that RISC-V support is in mainline gcc
since gcc-7, although gcc-7.3.0 is the recommended minimum - Linus ]"

In case of memory deficit and low percpu memory pages,
pcpu_balance_workfn() takes pcpu_alloc_mutex for a long
time (as it makes memory allocations itself and waits
for memory reclaim). If tasks doing pcpu_alloc() are
choosen by OOM killer, they can't exit, because they
are waiting for the mutex.
The patch makes pcpu_alloc() to care about killing signal
and use mutex_lock_killable(), when it's allowed by GFP
flags. This guarantees, a task does not miss SIGKILL
from OOM killer.

Percpu memory using the vmalloc area based chunk allocator lazily
populates chunks by first requesting the full virtual address space
required for the chunk and subsequently adding pages as allocations come
through. To ensure atomic allocations can succeed, a workqueue item is
used to maintain a minimum number of empty pages. In certain scenarios,
such as reported in [1], it is possible that physical memory becomes
quite scarce which can result in either a rather long time spent trying
to find free pages or worse, a kernel panic.
This patch adds support for __GFP_NORETRY and __GFP_NOWARN passing them
through to the underlying allocators. This should prevent any
unnecessary panics potentially caused by the workqueue item. The passing
of gfp around is as additional flags rather than a full set of flags.
The next patch will change these to caller passed semantics.
V2:
Added const modifier to gfp flags in the balance path.
Removed an extra whitespace.

Commit 438a506180 ("percpu: don't forget to free the temporary struct
pcpu_alloc_info") uncovered a problem on the CRIS architecture where
the bootmem allocator is initialized with virtual addresses. Given it
has:
#define __va(x) ((void *)((unsigned long)(x) | 0x80000000))
then things just work out because the end result is the same whether you
give this a physical or a virtual address.
Untill you call memblock_free_early(__pa(address)) that is, because
values from __pa() don't match with the virtual addresses stuffed in the
bootmem allocator anymore.
Avoid freeing the temporary pcpu_alloc_info memory on that architecture
until they fix things up to let the kernel boot like it did before.

Add an option for pcpu_alloc() to support __GFP_NOWARN flag.
Currently, we always throw a warning when size or alignment
is unsupported (and also dump stack on failed allocation
requests). The warning itself is harmless since we return
NULL anyway for any failed request, which callers are
required to handle anyway. However, it becomes harmful when
panic_on_warn is set.
The rationale for the WARN() in pcpu_alloc() is that it can
be tracked when larger than supported allocation requests are
made such that allocations limits can be tweaked if warranted.
This makes sense for in-kernel users, however, there are users
of pcpu allocator where allocation size is derived from user
space requests, e.g. when creating BPF maps. In these cases,
the requests should fail gracefully without throwing a splat.
The current work-around was to check allocation size against
the upper limit of PCPU_MIN_UNIT_SIZE from call-sites for
bailing out prior to a call to pcpu_alloc() in order to
avoid throwing the WARN(). This is bad in multiple ways since
PCPU_MIN_UNIT_SIZE is an implementation detail, and having
the checks on call-sites only complicates the code for no
good reason. Thus, lets fix it generically by supporting the
__GFP_NOWARN flag that users can then use with calling the
__alloc_percpu_gfp() helper instead.

The iterator functions pcpu_next_md_free_region and
pcpu_next_fit_region use the block offset to determine if they have
checked the area in the prior iteration. However, this causes an issue
when the block offset is greater than subsequent block contig hints. If
within the iterator it moves to check subsequent blocks, it may fail in
the second predicate due to the block offset not being cleared. Thus,
this causes the allocator to skip over blocks leading to false failures
when allocating from the reserved chunk. While this happens in the
general case as well, it will only fail if it cannot allocate a new
chunk.
This patch resets the block offset to 0 to pass the second predicate
when checking subseqent blocks within the iterator function.

The simple, and expensive, way to find a free area is to iterate over
the entire bitmap until an area is found that fits the allocation size
and alignment. This patch makes use of an iterate that find an area to
check by using the block level contig hints. It will only return an area
that can fit the size and alignment request. If the request can fit
inside a block, it returns the first_free bit to start checking from to
see if it can be fulfilled prior to the contig hint. The pcpu_alloc_area
check has a bound of a block size added in case it is wrong.

The bitmap allocator must keep metadata consistent. The easiest way is
to scan after every allocation for each affected block and the entire
chunk. This is rather expensive.
The free path can take advantage of current contig hints to prevent
scanning within the start and end block. If a scan is needed, it can
be done by scanning backwards from the start and forwards from the end
to identify the entire free area this can be combined with. The blocks
can then be updated by some basic checks rather than complete block
scans.
A chunk scan happens when the freed area makes a page free, a block
free, or spans across blocks. This is necessary as the contig hint at
this point could span across blocks. The check uses the minimum of page
size and the block size to allow for variable sized blocks. There is a
tradeoff here with not updating after every free. It is possible a
contig hint in one block can be merged with the contig hint in the next
block. This means the contig hint can be off by up to a page. However,
if the chunk's contig hint is contained in one block, the contig hint
will be accurate.

This patch introduces the bitmap metadata blocks and adds the skeleton
of the code that will be used to maintain these blocks. Each chunk's
bitmap is made up of full metadata blocks. These blocks maintain basic
metadata to help prevent scanning unnecssarily to update hints. Full
scanning methods are used for the skeleton and will be replaced in the
coming patches. A number of helper functions are added as well to do
conversion of pages to blocks and manage offsets. Comments will be
updated as the final version of each function is added.
There exists a relationship between PAGE_SIZE, PCPU_BITMAP_BLOCK_SIZE,
the region size, and unit_size. Every chunk's region (including offsets)
is page aligned at the beginning to preserve alignment. The end is
aligned to LCM(PAGE_SIZE, PCPU_BITMAP_BLOCK_SIZE) to ensure that the end
can fit with the populated page map which is by page and every metadata
block is fully accounted for. The unit_size is already page aligned, but
must also be aligned with PCPU_BITMAP_BLOCK_SIZE to ensure full metadata
blocks.

The percpu memory allocator is experiencing scalability issues when
allocating and freeing large numbers of counters as in BPF.
Additionally, there is a corner case where iteration is triggered over
all chunks if the contig_hint is the right size, but wrong alignment.
This patch replaces the area map allocator with a basic bitmap allocator
implementation. Each subsequent patch will introduce new features and
replace full scanning functions with faster non-scanning options when
possible.
Implementation:
This patchset removes the area map allocator in favor of a bitmap
allocator backed by metadata blocks. The primary goal is to provide
consistency in performance and memory footprint with a focus on small
allocations (< 64 bytes). The bitmap removes the heavy memmove from the
freeing critical path and provides a consistent memory footprint. The
metadata blocks provide a bound on the amount of scanning required by
maintaining a set of hints.
In an effort to make freeing fast, the metadata is updated on the free
path if the new free area makes a page free, a block free, or spans
across blocks. This causes the chunk's contig hint to potentially be
smaller than what it could allocate by up to the smaller of a page or a
block. If the chunk's contig hint is contained within a block, a check
occurs and the hint is kept accurate. Metadata is always kept accurate
on allocation, so there will not be a situation where a chunk has a
later contig hint than available.
Evaluation:
I have primarily done testing against a simple workload of allocation of
1 million objects (2^20) of varying size. Deallocation was done by in
order, alternating, and in reverse. These numbers were collected after
rebasing ontop of a80099a152. I present the worst-case numbers here:
Area Map Allocator:
Object Size | Alloc Time (ms) | Free Time (ms)
----------------------------------------------
4B | 310 | 4770
16B | 557 | 1325
64B | 436 | 273
256B | 776 | 131
1024B | 3280 | 122
Bitmap Allocator:
Object Size | Alloc Time (ms) | Free Time (ms)
----------------------------------------------
4B | 490 | 70
16B | 515 | 75
64B | 610 | 80
256B | 950 | 100
1024B | 3520 | 200
This data demonstrates the inability for the area map allocator to
handle less than ideal situations. In the best case of reverse
deallocation, the area map allocator was able to perform within range
of the bitmap allocator. In the worst case situation, freeing took
nearly 5 seconds for 1 million 4-byte objects. The bitmap allocator
dramatically improves the consistency of the free path. The small
allocations performed nearly identical regardless of the freeing
pattern.
While it does add to the allocation latency, the allocation scenario
here is optimal for the area map allocator. The area map allocator runs
into trouble when it is allocating in chunks where the latter half is
full. It is difficult to replicate this, so I present a variant where
the pages are second half filled. Freeing was done sequentially. Below
are the numbers for this scenario:
Area Map Allocator:
Object Size | Alloc Time (ms) | Free Time (ms)
----------------------------------------------
4B | 4118 | 4892
16B | 1651 | 1163
64B | 598 | 285
256B | 771 | 158
1024B | 3034 | 160
Bitmap Allocator:
Object Size | Alloc Time (ms) | Free Time (ms)
----------------------------------------------
4B | 481 | 67
16B | 506 | 69
64B | 636 | 75
256B | 892 | 90
1024B | 3262 | 147
The data shows a parabolic curve of performance for the area map
allocator. This is due to the memmove operation being the dominant cost
with the lower object sizes as more objects are packed in a chunk and at
higher object sizes, the traversal of the chunk slots is the dominating
cost. The bitmap allocator suffers this problem as well. The above data
shows the inability to scale for the allocation path with the area map
allocator and that the bitmap allocator demonstrates consistent
performance in general.
The second problem of additional scanning can result in the area map
allocator completing in 52 minutes when trying to allocate 1 million
4-byte objects with 8-byte alignment. The same workload takes
approximately 16 seconds to complete for the bitmap allocator.
V2:
Fixed a bug in pcpu_alloc_first_chunk end_offset was setting the bitmap
using bytes instead of bits.
