2021-11-06mm/damon/dbgfs: allow users to set initial monitoring target regionsSeongJae Park1-2/+154
Patch series "DAMON: Support Physical Memory Address Space Monitoring:. DAMON currently supports only virtual address spaces monitoring. It can be easily extended for various use cases and address spaces by configuring its monitoring primitives layer to use appropriate primitives implementations, though. This patchset implements monitoring primitives for the physical address space monitoring using the structure. The first 3 patches allow the user space users manually set the monitoring regions. The 1st patch implements the feature in the 'damon-dbgfs'. Then, patches for adding a unit tests (the 2nd patch) and updating the documentation (the 3rd patch) follow. Following 4 patches implement the physical address space monitoring primitives. The 4th patch makes some primitive functions for the virtual address spaces primitives reusable. The 5th patch implements the physical address space monitoring primitives. The 6th patch links the primitives to the 'damon-dbgfs'. Finally, 7th patch documents this new features. This patch (of 7): Some 'damon-dbgfs' users would want to monitor only a part of the entire virtual memory address space. The program interface users in the kernel space could use '->before_start()' callback or set the regions inside the context struct as they want, but 'damon-dbgfs' users cannot. For that reason, this introduces a new debugfs file called 'init_region'. 'damon-dbgfs' users can specify which initial monitoring target address regions they want by writing special input to the file. The input should describe each region in each line in the below form: <pid> <start address> <end address> Note that the regions will be updated to cover entire memory mapped regions after a 'regions update interval' is passed. If you want the regions to not be updated after the initial setting, you could set the interval as a very long time, say, a few decades.

2021-11-06mm/damon/schemes: implement statistics featureSeongJae Park3-3/+11
To tune the DAMON-based operation schemes, knowing how many and how large regions are affected by each of the schemes will be helful. Those stats could be used for not only the tuning, but also monitoring of the working set size and the number of regions, if the scheme does not change the program behavior too much. For the reason, this implements the statistics for the schemes. The total number and size of the regions that each scheme is applied are exported to users via '->stat_count' and '->stat_sz' of 'struct damos'. Admins can also check the number by reading 'schemes' debugfs file. The last two integers now represents the stats. To allow collecting the stats without changing the program behavior, this also adds new scheme action, 'DAMOS_STAT'. Note that 'DAMOS_STAT' is not only making no memory operation actions, but also does not reset the age of regions.

2021-11-06mm/damon/vaddr: support DAMON-based Operation SchemesSeongJae Park1-0/+56
This makes DAMON's default primitives for virtual address spaces to support DAMON-based Operation Schemes (DAMOS) by implementing actions application functions and registering it to the monitoring context. The implementation simply links 'madvise()' for related DAMOS actions. That is, 'madvise(MADV_WILLNEED)' is called for 'WILLNEED' DAMOS action and similar for other actions ('COLD', 'PAGEOUT', 'HUGEPAGE', 'NOHUGEPAGE'). So, the kernel space DAMON users can now use the DAMON-based optimizations with only small amount of code.

2021-11-06mm/damon/core: implement DAMON-based Operation Schemes (DAMOS)SeongJae Park1-0/+109
In many cases, users might use DAMON for simple data access aware memory management optimizations such as applying an operation scheme to a memory region of a specific size having a specific access frequency for a specific time. For example, "page out a memory region larger than 100 MiB but having a low access frequency more than 10 minutes", or "Use THP for a memory region larger than 2 MiB having a high access frequency for more than 2 seconds". Most simple form of the solution would be doing offline data access pattern profiling using DAMON and modifying the application source code or system configuration based on the profiling results. Or, developing a daemon constructed with two modules (one for access monitoring and the other for applying memory management actions via mlock(), madvise(), sysctl, etc) is imaginable. To avoid users spending their time for implementation of such simple data access monitoring-based operation schemes, this makes DAMON to handle such schemes directly. With this change, users can simply specify their desired schemes to DAMON. Then, DAMON will automatically apply the schemes to the user-specified target processes. Each of the schemes is composed with conditions for filtering of the target memory regions and desired memory management action for the target. Specifically, the format is:: <min/max size> <min/max access frequency> <min/max age> <action> The filtering conditions are size of memory region, number of accesses to the region monitored by DAMON, and the age of the region. The age of region is incremented periodically but reset when its addresses or access frequency has significantly changed or the action of a scheme was applied. For the action, current implementation supports a few of madvise()-like hints, ``WILLNEED``, ``COLD``, ``PAGEOUT``, ``HUGEPAGE``, and ``NOHUGEPAGE``. Because DAMON supports various address spaces and application of the actions to a monitoring target region is dependent to the type of the target address space, the application code should be implemented by each primitives and registered to the framework. Note that this only implements the framework part. Following commit will implement the action applications for virtual address spaces primitives.

2021-11-06mm/damon/core: account age of target regionsSeongJae Park1-0/+13
Patch series "Implement Data Access Monitoring-based Memory Operation Schemes". Introduction ============ DAMON[1] can be used as a primitive for data access aware memory management optimizations. For that, users who want such optimizations should run DAMON, read the monitoring results, analyze it, plan a new memory management scheme, and apply the new scheme by themselves. Such efforts will be inevitable for some complicated optimizations. However, in many other cases, the users would simply want the system to apply a memory management action to a memory region of a specific size having a specific access frequency for a specific time. For example, "page out a memory region larger than 100 MiB keeping only rare accesses more than 2 minutes", or "Do not use THP for a memory region larger than 2 MiB rarely accessed for more than 1 seconds". To make the works easier and non-redundant, this patchset implements a new feature of DAMON, which is called Data Access Monitoring-based Operation Schemes (DAMOS). Using the feature, users can describe the normal schemes in a simple way and ask DAMON to execute those on its own. [1] https://damonitor.github.io Evaluations =========== DAMOS is accurate and useful for memory management optimizations. An experimental DAMON-based operation scheme for THP, 'ethp', removes 76.15% of THP memory overheads while preserving 51.25% of THP speedup. Another experimental DAMON-based 'proactive reclamation' implementation, 'prcl', reduces 93.38% of residential sets and 23.63% of system memory footprint while incurring only 1.22% runtime overhead in the best case (parsec3/freqmine). NOTE that the experimental THP optimization and proactive reclamation are not for production but only for proof of concepts. Please refer to the showcase web site's evaluation document[1] for detailed evaluation setup and results. [1] https://damonitor.github.io/doc/html/v34/vm/damon/eval.html Long-term Support Trees ----------------------- For people who want to test DAMON but using LTS kernels, there are another couple of trees based on two latest LTS kernels respectively and containing the 'damon/master' backports. - For v5.4.y: https://git.kernel.org/sj/h/damon/for-v5.4.y - For v5.10.y: https://git.kernel.org/sj/h/damon/for-v5.10.y Sequence Of Patches =================== The 1st patch accounts age of each region. The 2nd patch implements the core of the DAMON-based operation schemes feature. The 3rd patch makes the default monitoring primitives for virtual address spaces to support the schemes. From this point, the kernel space users can use DAMOS. The 4th patch exports the feature to the user space via the debugfs interface. The 5th patch implements schemes statistics feature for easier tuning of the schemes and runtime access pattern analysis, and the 6th patch adds selftests for these changes. Finally, the 7th patch documents this new feature. This patch (of 7): DAMON can be used for data access pattern aware memory management optimizations. For that, users should run DAMON, read the monitoring results, analyze it, plan a new memory management scheme, and apply the new scheme by themselves. It would not be too hard, but still require some level of effort. For complicated cases, this effort is inevitable. That said, in many cases, users would simply want to apply an actions to a memory region of a specific size having a specific access frequency for a specific time. For example, "page out a memory region larger than 100 MiB but having a low access frequency more than 10 minutes", or "Use THP for a memory region larger than 2 MiB having a high access frequency for more than 2 seconds". For such optimizations, users will need to first account the age of each region themselves. To reduce such efforts, this implements a simple age account of each region in DAMON. For each aggregation step, DAMON compares the access frequency with that from last aggregation and reset the age of the region if the change is significant. Else, the age is incremented. Also, in case of the merge of regions, the region size-weighted average of the ages is set as the age of merged new region.

2021-11-06kfence: shorten critical sections of alloc/freeMarco Elver1-17/+21
Initializing memory and setting/checking the canary bytes is relatively expensive, and doing so in the meta->lock critical sections extends the duration with preemption and interrupts disabled unnecessarily. Any reads to meta->addr and meta->size in kfence_guarded_alloc() and kfence_guarded_free() don't require locking meta->lock as long as the object is removed from the freelist: only kfence_guarded_alloc() sets meta->addr and meta->size after removing it from the freelist, which requires a preceding kfence_guarded_free() returning it to the list or the initial state. Therefore move reads to meta->addr and meta->size, including expensive memory initialization using them, out of meta->lock critical sections.

2021-11-06kfence: limit currently covered allocations when pool nearly fullMarco Elver2-2/+109
One of KFENCE's main design principles is that with increasing uptime, allocation coverage increases sufficiently to detect previously undetected bugs. We have observed that frequent long-lived allocations of the same source (e.g. pagecache) tend to permanently fill up the KFENCE pool with increasing system uptime, thus breaking the above requirement. The workaround thus far had been increasing the sample interval and/or increasing the KFENCE pool size, but is no reliable solution. To ensure diverse coverage of allocations, limit currently covered allocations of the same source once pool utilization reaches 75% (configurable via `kfence.skip_covered_thresh`) or above. The effect is retaining reasonable allocation coverage when the pool is close to full. A side-effect is that this also limits frequent long-lived allocations of the same source filling up the pool permanently. Uniqueness of an allocation for coverage purposes is based on its (partial) allocation stack trace (the source). A Counting Bloom filter is used to check if an allocation is covered; if the allocation is currently covered, the allocation is skipped by KFENCE. Testing was done using: (a) a synthetic workload that performs frequent long-lived allocations (default config values; sample_interval=1; num_objects=63), and (b) normal desktop workloads on an otherwise idle machine where the problem was first reported after a few days of uptime (default config values). In both test cases the sampled allocation rate no longer drops to zero at any point. In the case of (b) we observe (after 2 days uptime) 15% unique allocations in the pool, 77% pool utilization, with 20% "skipped allocations (covered)".

This isn't a direct revert of commit 2d891fbc3bb6 ("usercopy: Allow strict enforcement of whitelists"); since usercopy_fallback is effectively 0, the fallback handling is removed too. This also removes the usercopy_fallback module parameter on slab_common.

2021-11-06mm/zsmalloc.c: close race window between zs_pool_dec_isolated() and ↵Miaohe Lin1-3/+4
zs_unregister_migration() There is one possible race window between zs_pool_dec_isolated() and zs_unregister_migration() because wait_for_isolated_drain() checks the isolated count without holding class->lock and there is no order inside zs_pool_dec_isolated(). Thus the below race window could be possible: zs_pool_dec_isolated zs_unregister_migration check pool->destroying != 0 pool->destroying = true; smp_mb(); wait_for_isolated_drain() wait for pool->isolated_pages == 0 atomic_long_dec(&pool->isolated_pages); atomic_long_read(&pool->isolated_pages) == 0 Since we observe the pool->destroying (false) before atomic_long_dec() for pool->isolated_pages, waking pool->migration_wait up is missed. Fix this by ensure checking pool->destroying happens after the atomic_long_dec(&pool->isolated_pages).

2021-11-06mm/rmap.c: avoid double faults migrating device private pagesAlistair Popple1-2/+6
During migration special page table entries are installed for each page being migrated. These entries store the pfn and associated permissions of ptes mapping the page being migarted. Device-private pages use special swap pte entries to distinguish read-only vs. writeable pages which the migration code checks when creating migration entries. Normally this follows a fast path in migrate_vma_collect_pmd() which correctly copies the permissions of device-private pages over to migration entries when migrating pages back to the CPU. However the slow-path falls back to using try_to_migrate() which unconditionally creates read-only migration entries for device-private pages. This leads to unnecessary double faults on the CPU as the new pages are always mapped read-only even when they could be mapped writeable. Fix this by correctly copying device-private permissions in try_to_migrate_one().

2021-11-06memblock: add MEMBLOCK_DRIVER_MANAGED to mimic IORESOURCE_SYSRAM_DRIVER_MANAGEDDavid Hildenbrand1-0/+4
Let's add a flag that corresponds to IORESOURCE_SYSRAM_DRIVER_MANAGED, indicating that we're dealing with a memory region that is never indicated in the firmware-provided memory map, but always detected and added by a driver. Similar to MEMBLOCK_HOTPLUG, most infrastructure has to treat such memory regions like ordinary MEMBLOCK_NONE memory regions -- for example, when selecting memory regions to add to the vmcore for dumping in the crashkernel via for_each_mem_range(). However, especially kexec_file is not supposed to select such memblocks via for_each_free_mem_range() / for_each_free_mem_range_reverse() to place kexec images, similar to how we handle IORESOURCE_SYSRAM_DRIVER_MANAGED without CONFIG_ARCH_KEEP_MEMBLOCK. We'll make sure that memory hotplug code sets the flag where applicable (IORESOURCE_SYSRAM_DRIVER_MANAGED) next. This prepares architectures that need CONFIG_ARCH_KEEP_MEMBLOCK, such as arm64, for virtio-mem support. Note that kexec *must not* indicate this memory to the second kernel and *must not* place kexec-images on this memory. Let's add a comment to kexec_walk_memblock(), documenting how we handle MEMBLOCK_DRIVER_MANAGED now just like using IORESOURCE_SYSRAM_DRIVER_MANAGED in locate_mem_hole_callback() for kexec_walk_resources(). Also note that MEMBLOCK_HOTPLUG cannot be reused due to different semantics: MEMBLOCK_HOTPLUG: memory is indicated as "System RAM" in the firmware-provided memory map and added to the system early during boot; kexec *has to* indicate this memory to the second kernel and can place kexec-images on this memory. After memory hotunplug, kexec has to be re-armed. We mostly ignore this flag when "movable_node" is not set on the kernel command line, because then we're told to not care about hotunpluggability of such memory regions. MEMBLOCK_DRIVER_MANAGED: memory is not indicated as "System RAM" in the firmware-provided memory map; this memory is always detected and added to the system by a driver; memory might not actually be physically hotunpluggable. kexec *must not* indicate this memory to the second kernel and *must not* place kexec-images on this memory.

2021-11-06memblock: allow to specify flags with memblock_add_node()David Hildenbrand2-5/+6
We want to specify flags when hotplugging memory. Let's prepare to pass flags to memblock_add_node() by adjusting all existing users. Note that when hotplugging memory the system is already up and running and we might have concurrent memblock users: for example, while we're hotplugging memory, kexec_file code might search for suitable memory regions to place kexec images. It's important to add the memory directly to memblock via a single call with the right flags, instead of adding the memory first and apply flags later: otherwise, concurrent memblock users might temporarily stumble over memblocks with wrong flags, which will be important in a follow-up patch that introduces a new flag to properly handle add_memory_driver_managed().

2021-11-06mm/memory_hotplug: handle memblock_add_node() failures in add_memory_resource()David Hildenbrand1-2/+6
Patch series "mm/memory_hotplug: full support for add_memory_driver_managed() with CONFIG_ARCH_KEEP_MEMBLOCK", v2. Architectures that require CONFIG_ARCH_KEEP_MEMBLOCK=y, such as arm64, don't cleanly support add_memory_driver_managed() yet. Most prominently, kexec_file can still end up placing kexec images on such driver-managed memory, resulting in undesired behavior, for example, having kexec images located on memory not part of the firmware-provided memory map. Teaching kexec to not place images on driver-managed memory is especially relevant for virtio-mem. Details can be found in commit 7b7b27214bba ("mm/memory_hotplug: introduce add_memory_driver_managed()"). Extend memblock with a new flag and set it from memory hotplug code when applicable. This is required to fully support virtio-mem on arm64, making also kexec_file behave like on x86-64. This patch (of 2): If memblock_add_node() fails, we're most probably running out of memory. While this is unlikely to happen, it can happen and having memory added without a memblock can be problematic for architectures that use memblock to detect valid memory. Let's fail in a nice way instead of silently ignoring the error.

32 bit support is broken in various ways: for example, we can online memory that should actually go to ZONE_HIGHMEM to ZONE_MOVABLE or in some cases even to one of the other kernel zones. We marked it BROKEN in commit b59d02ed0869 ("mm/memory_hotplug: disable the functionality for 32b") almost one year ago. According to that commit it might be broken at least since 2017. Further, there is hardly a sane use case nowadays. Let's just depend completely on 64bit, dropping the "BROKEN" dependency to make clear that we are not going to support it again. Next, we'll remove some HIGHMEM leftovers from memory hotplug code to clean up.

2021-11-06mm: migrate: make demotion knob depend on migrationYang Shi2-61/+61
The memory demotion needs to call migrate_pages() to do the jobs. And it is controlled by a knob, however, the knob doesn't depend on CONFIG_MIGRATION. The knob could be truned on even though MIGRATION is disabled, this will not cause any crash since migrate_pages() would just return -ENOSYS. But it is definitely not optimal to go through demotion path then retry regular swap every time. And it doesn't make too much sense to have the knob visible to the users when !MIGRATION. Move the related code from mempolicy.[h|c] to migrate.[h|c].

2021-11-06mm/migrate: de-duplicate migrate_reason stringsJohn Hubbard1-9/+11
In order to remove the need to manually keep three different files in synch, provide a common definition of the mapping between enum migrate_reason, and the associated strings for each enum item. 1. Use the tracing system's mapping of enums to strings, by redefining and reusing the MIGRATE_REASON and supporting macros, and using that to populate the string array in mm/debug.c. 2. Move enum migrate_reason to migrate_mode.h. This is not strictly necessary for this patch, but migrate mode and migrate reason go together, so this will slightly clarify things.

2021-11-06hugetlbfs: extend the definition of hugepages parameter to support node ↵Zhenguo Yao1-25/+128
allocation We can specify the number of hugepages to allocate at boot. But the hugepages is balanced in all nodes at present. In some scenarios, we only need hugepages in one node. For example: DPDK needs hugepages which are in the same node as NIC. If DPDK needs four hugepages of 1G size in node1 and system has 16 numa nodes we must reserve 64 hugepages on the kernel cmdline. But only four hugepages are used. The others should be free after boot. If the system memory is low(for example: 64G), it will be an impossible task. So extend the hugepages parameter to support specifying hugepages on a specific node. For example add following parameter: hugepagesz=1G hugepages=0:1,1:3 It will allocate 1 hugepage in node0 and 3 hugepages in node1.

2021-11-06mm: mark the OOM reaper thread as freezableSultan Alsawaf1-0/+2
The OOM reaper alters user address space which might theoretically alter the snapshot if reaping is allowed to happen after the freezer quiescent state. To this end, the reaper kthread uses wait_event_freezable() while waiting for any work so that it cannot run while the system freezes. However, the current implementation doesn't respect the freezer because all kernel threads are created with the PF_NOFREEZE flag, so they are automatically excluded from freezing operations. This means that the OOM reaper can race with system snapshotting if it has work to do while the system is being frozen. Fix this by adding a set_freezable() call which will clear the PF_NOFREEZE flag and thus make the OOM reaper visible to the freezer. Please note that the OOM reaper altering the snapshot this way is mostly a theoretical concern and has not been observed in practice.

2021-11-06mm/vmscan: centralise timeout values for reclaim_throttleMel Gorman4-17/+40
Neil Brown raised concerns about callers of reclaim_throttle specifying a timeout value. The original timeout values to congestion_wait() were probably pulled out of thin air or copy&pasted from somewhere else. This patch centralises the timeout values and selects a timeout based on the reason for reclaim throttling. These figures are also pulled out of the same thin air but better values may be derived Running a workload that is throttling for inappropriate periods and tracing mm_vmscan_throttled can be used to pick a more appropriate value. Excessive throttling would pick a lower timeout where as excessive CPU usage in reclaim context would select a larger timeout. Ideally a large value would always be used and the wakeups would occur before a timeout but that requires careful testing.

2021-11-06mm/writeback: throttle based on page writeback instead of congestionMel Gorman1-2/+9
do_writepages throttles on congestion if the writepages() fails due to a lack of memory but congestion_wait() is partially broken as the congestion state is not updated for all BDIs. This patch stalls waiting for a number of pages to complete writeback that located on the local node. The main weakness is that there is no correlation between the location of the inode's pages and locality but that is still better than congestion_wait.
