[ Upstream commit 5fe6ec8f6ab549b6422e41551abb51802bd48bc7 ]

Tracing the runtime delta makes sense, observer can sum over time.
Tracing the absolute vruntime makes less sense, inconsistent:
absolute-vs-delta, but also vruntime delta can be computed from
runtime delta.

Removing the vruntime thing also makes the two tracepoint sites
identical, allowing to unify the code in a later patch.

[ Upstream commit 13d750c2c03e9861e15268574ed2c239cca9c9d5 ]

In preparation for allowing system call enter/exit instrumentation to
handle page faults, make sure that ftrace can handle this change by
explicitly disabling preemption within the ftrace system call tracepoint
probes to respect the current expectations within ftrace ring buffer
code.

This change does not yet allow ftrace to take page faults per se within
its probe, but allows its existing probes to adapt to the upcoming
change.

[ Upstream commit fc9de52de38f656399d2ce40f7349a6b5f86e787 ]

If a call gets aborted (e.g. because kafs saw a signal) between it being
queued for connection and the I/O thread picking up the call, the abort
will be prioritised over the connection and it will be removed from
local-&gt;new_client_calls by rxrpc_disconnect_client_call() without a lock
being held.  This may cause other calls on the list to disappear if a race
occurs.

Fix this by taking the client_call_lock when removing a call from whatever
list its -&gt;wait_link happens to be on.

<title>afs: Fix missing subdir edit when renamed between parent dirs</title>

<content type='text'>
[ Upstream commit 247d65fb122ad560be1c8c4d87d7374fb28b0770 ]

When rename moves an AFS subdirectory between parent directories, the
subdir also needs a bit of editing: the ".." entry needs updating to point
to the new parent (though I don't make use of the info) and the DV needs
incrementing by 1 to reflect the change of content.  The server also sends
a callback break notification on the subdirectory if we have one, but we
can take care of recovering the promise next time we access the subdir.

This can be triggered by something like:

    mount -t afs %example.com:xfstest.test20 /xfstest.test/
    mkdir /xfstest.test/{aaa,bbb,aaa/ccc}
    touch /xfstest.test/bbb/ccc/d
    mv /xfstest.test/{aaa/ccc,bbb/ccc}
    touch /xfstest.test/bbb/ccc/e

When the pathwalk for the second touch hits "ccc", kafs spots that the DV
is incorrect and downloads it again (so the fix is not critical).

Fix this, if the rename target is a directory and the old and new
parents are different, by:

 (1) Incrementing the DV number of the target locally.

 (2) Editing the ".." entry in the target to refer to its new parent's
     vnode ID and uniquifier.

[ Upstream commit 37f0b47c5143c2957909ced44fc09ffb118c99f7 ]

The "addr" and "is_shmem" arguments have different order in TP_PROTO and
TP_ARGS.  This resulted in the incorrect trace result:

text-hugepage-644429 [276] 392092.878683: mm_khugepaged_collapse_file:
mm=0xffff20025d52c440, hpage_pfn=0x200678c00, index=512, addr=1, is_shmem=0,
filename=text-hugepage, nr=512, result=failed

The value of "addr" is wrong because it was treated as bool value, the
type of is_shmem.

Fix the order in TP_PROTO to keep "addr" is before "is_shmem" since the
original patch review suggested this order to achieve best packing.

And use "lx" for "addr" instead of "ld" in TP_printk because address is
typically shown in hex.

After the fix, the trace result looks correct:

text-hugepage-7291  [004]   128.627251: mm_khugepaged_collapse_file:
mm=0xffff0001328f9500, hpage_pfn=0x20016ea00, index=512, addr=0x400000,

[ Upstream commit aaf8c0b9ae042494cb4585883b15c1332de77840 ]

We may trigger high frequent checkpoint for below case:
1. mkdir /mnt/dir1; set dir1 encrypted
2. touch /mnt/file1; fsync /mnt/file1
3. mkdir /mnt/dir2; set dir2 encrypted
4. touch /mnt/file2; fsync /mnt/file2
...

Although, newly created dir and file are not related, due to
commit bbf156f7afa7 ("f2fs: fix lost xattrs of directories"), we will
trigger checkpoint whenever fsync() comes after a new encrypted dir
created.

In order to avoid such performance regression issue, let's record an
entry including directory's ino in global cache whenever we update
directory's xattr data, and then triggerring checkpoint() only if
xattr metadata of target file's parent was updated.

This patch updates to cover below no encryption case as well:
1) parent is checkpointed
2) set_xattr(dir) w/ new xnid
3) create(file)
4) fsync(file)

<title>sched/numa: Complete scanning of inactive VMAs when there is no alternative</title>

[ Upstream commit f169c62ff7cd1acf8bac8ae17bfeafa307d9e6fa ]

VMAs are skipped if there is no recent fault activity but this represents
a chicken-and-egg problem as there may be no fault activity if the PTEs
are never updated to trap NUMA hints. There is an indirect reliance on
scanning to be forced early in the lifetime of a task but this may fail
to detect changes in phase behaviour. Force inactive VMAs to be scanned
when all other eligible VMAs have been updated within the same scan
sequence.

Test results in general look good with some changes in performance, both
negative and positive, depending on whether the additional scanning and
faulting was beneficial or not to the workload. The autonuma benchmark
workload NUMA01_THREADLOCAL was picked for closer examination. The workload
creates two processes with numerous threads and thread-local storage that
is zero-filled in a loop. It exercises the corner case where unrelated
threads may skip VMAs that are thread-local to another thread and still
has some VMAs that inactive while the workload executes.

The VMA skipping activity frequency with and without the patch:

	6.6.0-rc2-sched-numabtrace-v1
	=============================
	    649 reason=scan_delay
	  9,094 reason=unsuitable
	 48,915 reason=shared_ro
	143,919 reason=inaccessible
	193,050 reason=pid_inactive

	6.6.0-rc2-sched-numabselective-v1
	=============================
	    146 reason=seq_completed
	    622 reason=ignore_pid_inactive

	    624 reason=scan_delay
	  6,570 reason=unsuitable
	 16,101 reason=shared_ro
	 27,608 reason=inaccessible
	 41,939 reason=pid_inactive

Note that with the patch applied, the PID activity is ignored
(ignore_pid_inactive) to ensure a VMA with some activity is completely
scanned. In addition, a small number of VMAs are scanned when no other
eligible VMA is available during a single scan window (seq_completed).
The number of times a VMA is skipped due to no PID activity from the
scanning task (pid_inactive) drops dramatically. It is expected that
this will increase the number of PTEs updated for NUMA hinting faults
as well as hinting faults but these represent PTEs that would otherwise
have been missed. The tradeoff is scan+fault overhead versus improving
locality due to migration.

On a 2-socket Cascade Lake test machine, the time to complete the
workload is as follows;

                                                 6.6.0-rc2              6.6.0-rc2
                                       sched-numabtrace-v1 sched-numabselective-v1
  Min       elsp-NUMA01_THREADLOCAL      174.22 (   0.00%)      117.64 (  32.48%)
  Amean     elsp-NUMA01_THREADLOCAL      175.68 (   0.00%)      123.34 *  29.79%*
  Stddev    elsp-NUMA01_THREADLOCAL        1.20 (   0.00%)        4.06 (-238.20%)
  CoeffVar  elsp-NUMA01_THREADLOCAL        0.68 (   0.00%)        3.29 (-381.70%)
  Max       elsp-NUMA01_THREADLOCAL      177.18 (   0.00%)      128.03 (  27.74%)

The time to complete the workload is reduced by almost 30%:

                     6.6.0-rc2   6.6.0-rc2
                  sched-numabtrace-v1 sched-numabselective-v1 /
  Duration User       91201.80    63506.64
  Duration System      2015.53     1819.78
  Duration Elapsed     1234.77      868.37

In this specific case, system CPU time was not increased but it's not
universally true.

From vmstat, the NUMA scanning and fault activity is as follows;

                                        6.6.0-rc2      6.6.0-rc2
                              sched-numabtrace-v1 sched-numabselective-v1
  Ops NUMA base-page range updates       64272.00    26374386.00
  Ops NUMA PTE updates                   36624.00       55538.00
  Ops NUMA PMD updates                      54.00       51404.00
  Ops NUMA hint faults                   15504.00       75786.00
  Ops NUMA hint local faults %           14860.00       56763.00
  Ops NUMA hint local percent               95.85          74.90
  Ops NUMA pages migrated                 1629.00     6469222.00

Both the number of PTE updates and hint faults is dramatically
increased. While this is superficially unfortunate, it represents
ranges that were simply skipped without the patch. As a result
of the scanning and hinting faults, many more pages were also
migrated but as the time to completion is reduced, the overhead
is offset by the gain.

[ Upstream commit b7a5b537c55c088d891ae554103d1b281abef781 ]

NUMA Balancing skips VMAs when the current task has not trapped a NUMA
fault within the VMA. If the VMA is skipped then mm-&gt;numa_scan_offset
advances and a task that is trapping faults within the VMA may never
fully update PTEs within the VMA.

Force tasks to update PTEs for partially scanned PTEs. The VMA will
be tagged for NUMA hints by some task but this removes some of the
benefit of tracking PID activity within a VMA. A follow-on patch
will mitigate this problem.

The test cases and machines evaluated did not trigger the corner case so
the performance results are neutral with only small changes within the
noise from normal test-to-test variance. However, the next patch makes
the corner case easier to trigger.
