Pull MM updates from Andrew Morton:
"Along with the usual shower of singleton patches, notable patch series
in this pull request are:
- "Align kvrealloc() with krealloc()" from Danilo Krummrich. Adds
consistency to the APIs and behaviour of these two core allocation
functions. This also simplifies/enables Rustification.
- "Some cleanups for shmem" from Baolin Wang. No functional changes -
mode code reuse, better function naming, logic simplifications.
- "mm: some small page fault cleanups" from Josef Bacik. No
functional changes - code cleanups only.
- "Various memory tiering fixes" from Zi Yan. A small fix and a
little cleanup.
- "mm/swap: remove boilerplate" from Yu Zhao. Code cleanups and
simplifications and .text shrinkage.
- "Kernel stack usage histogram" from Pasha Tatashin and Shakeel
Butt. This is a feature, it adds new feilds to /proc/vmstat such as
$ grep kstack /proc/vmstat
kstack_1k 3
kstack_2k 188
kstack_4k 11391
kstack_8k 243
kstack_16k 0
which tells us that 11391 processes used 4k of stack while none at
all used 16k. Useful for some system tuning things, but
partivularly useful for "the dynamic kernel stack project".
- "kmemleak: support for percpu memory leak detect" from Pavel
Tikhomirov. Teaches kmemleak to detect leaksage of percpu memory.
- "mm: memcg: page counters optimizations" from Roman Gushchin. "3
independent small optimizations of page counters".
- "mm: split PTE/PMD PT table Kconfig cleanups+clarifications" from
David Hildenbrand. Improves PTE/PMD splitlock detection, makes
powerpc/8xx work correctly by design rather than by accident.
- "mm: remove arch_make_page_accessible()" from David Hildenbrand.
Some folio conversions which make arch_make_page_accessible()
unneeded.
- "mm, memcg: cg2 memory{.swap,}.peak write handlers" fro David
Finkel. Cleans up and fixes our handling of the resetting of the
cgroup/process peak-memory-use detector.
- "Make core VMA operations internal and testable" from Lorenzo
Stoakes. Rationalizaion and encapsulation of the VMA manipulation
APIs. With a view to better enable testing of the VMA functions,
even from a userspace-only harness.

Currently, we have mTHP features, but unfortunately, without support for
large folio swap-ins, once these large folios are swapped out, they are
lost because mTHP swap is a one-way process. The lack of mTHP swap-in
functionality prevents mTHP from being used on devices like Android that
heavily rely on swap.
This patch introduces mTHP swap-in support. It starts from sync devices
such as zRAM. This is probably the simplest and most common use case,
benefiting billions of Android phones and similar devices with minimal
implementation cost. In this straightforward scenario, large folios are
always exclusive, eliminating the need to handle complex rmap and
swapcache issues.
It offers several benefits:
1. Enables bidirectional mTHP swapping, allowing retrieval of mTHP after
swap-out and swap-in. Large folios in the buddy system are also
preserved as much as possible, rather than being fragmented due
to swap-in.
2. Eliminates fragmentation in swap slots and supports successful
THP_SWPOUT.

3. With both mTHP swap-out and swap-in supported, we offer the option to enable
zsmalloc compression/decompression with larger granularity[2]. The upcoming
optimization in zsmalloc will significantly increase swap speed and improve
compression efficiency. Tested by running 100 iterations of swapping 100MiB
of anon memory, the swap speed improved dramatically:
time consumption of swapin(ms) time consumption of swapout(ms)
lz4 4k 45274 90540
lz4 64k 22942 55667
zstdn 4k 85035 186585
zstdn 64k 46558 118533
The compression ratio also improved, as evaluated with 1 GiB of data:
granularity orig_data_size compr_data_size
4KiB-zstd 1048576000 246876055
64KiB-zstd 1048576000 199763892
Without mTHP swap-in, the potential optimizations in zsmalloc cannot be
realized.
4. Even mTHP swap-in itself can reduce swap-in page faults by a factor
of nr_pages. Swapping in content filled with the same data 0x11, w/o
and w/ the patch for five rounds (Since the content is the same,
decompression will be very fast. This primarily assesses the impact of
reduced page faults):
swp in bandwidth(bytes/ms) w/o w/
round1 624152 1127501
round2 631672 1127501
round3 620459 1139756
round4 606113 1139756
round5 624152 1152281
avg 621310 1137359 +83%
5. With both mTHP swap-out and swap-in supported, we offer the option to enable
hardware accelerators(Intel IAA) to do parallel decompression with which
Kanchana reported 7X improvement on zRAM read latency[3].

Similar to other poison recovery, use copy_mc_user_highpage() to avoid
potentially kernel panic during copy page in copy_present_page() from
fork, once copy failed due to hwpoison in source page, we need to break
out of copy in copy_pte_range() and release prealloc folio, so
copy_mc_user_highpage() is moved ahead before set *prealloc to NULL.

Patch series "mm: hwpoison: two more poison recovery".
One more CoW path to support poison recorvery in do_cow_fault(), and the
last copy_user_highpage() user is replaced to copy_mc_user_highpage() from
copy_present_page() during fork to support poison recorvery too.
This patch (of 2):
Like commit a873dfe1032a ("mm, hwpoison: try to recover from copy-on
write faults"), there is another path which could crash because it does
not have recovery code where poison is consumed by the kernel in
do_cow_fault(), a crash calltrace shown below on old kernel, but it
could be happened in the lastest mainline code,
CPU: 7 PID: 3248 Comm: mpi Kdump: loaded Tainted: G OE 5.10.0 #1
pc : copy_page+0xc/0xbc
lr : copy_user_highpage+0x50/0x9c
Call trace:
copy_page+0xc/0xbc

do_page_fault+0x184/0x454
do_translation_fault+0xac/0xd4

Fix it by using copy_mc_user_highpage() to handle this case and return
VM_FAULT_HWPOISON for cow fault.

Teach folio_walk_start() to recognize special pmd/pud mappings, and fail
them properly as it means there's no folio backing them.

Some callers of vmf_anon_prepare() may not want us to release the per-VMA
lock ourselves. Rename vmf_anon_prepare() to __vmf_anon_prepare() and let
the callers drop the lock when desired.
Also, make vmf_anon_prepare() a wrapper that releases the per-VMA lock
itself for any callers that don't care.
This is in preparation to fix this bug reported by syzbot:

As Jann points out, PFN mappings are special, because unlike normal
memory mappings, there is no lifetime information associated with the
mapping - it is just a raw mapping of PFNs with no reference counting of
a 'struct page'.
That's all very much intentional, but it does mean that it's easy to
mess up the cleanup in case of errors. Yes, a failed mmap() will always
eventually clean up any partial mappings, but without any explicit
lifetime in the page table mapping itself, it's very easy to do the
error handling in the wrong order.
In particular, it's easy to mistakenly free the physical backing store
before the page tables are actually cleaned up and (temporarily) have
stale dangling PTE entries.
To make this situation less error-prone, just make sure that any partial
pfn mapping is torn down early, before any other error handling.

Patch series "Shmem mTHP controls and stats improvements", v3.
This is a small series to tidy up the way the shmem controls and stats are
exposed. These patches were previously part of the series at [2], but I
decided to split them out since they can go in independently.
This patch (of 2):
Let's move count_mthp_stat() so that it's always defined, even when THP is
disabled. Previously uses of the function in files such as shmem.c, which
are compiled even when THP is disabled, required ugly THP ifdeferry. With
this cleanup, we can remove those ifdefs and the function resolves to a
nop when THP is disabled.
I shortly plan to call count_mthp_stat() from more THP-invariant source
files.

The ability to observe the demotion and promotion decisions made by the
kernel on a per-cgroup basis is important for monitoring and tuning
containerized workloads on machines equipped with tiered memory.
Different containers in the system may experience drastically different
memory tiering actions that cannot be distinguished from the global
counters alone.
For example, a container running a workload that has a much hotter memory
accesses will likely see more promotions and fewer demotions, potentially
depriving a colocated container of top tier memory to such an extent that
its performance degrades unacceptably.
For another example, some containers may exhibit longer periods between
data reuse, causing much more numa_hint_faults than numa_pages_migrated.
In this case, tuning hot_threshold_ms may be appropriate, but the signal
can easily be lost if only global counters are available.
In the long term, we hope to introduce per-cgroup control of promotion and
demotion actions to implement memory placement policies in tiering.
This patch set adds seven counters to memory.stat in a cgroup:
numa_pages_migrated, numa_pte_updates, numa_hint_faults, pgdemote_kswapd,
pgdemote_khugepaged, pgdemote_direct and pgpromote_success. pgdemote_*
and pgpromote_success are also available in memory.numa_stat.
count_memcg_events_mm() is added to count multiple event occurrences at
once, and get_mem_cgroup_from_folio() is added because we need to get a
reference to the memcg of a folio before it's migrated to track
numa_pages_migrated. The accounting of PGDEMOTE_* is moved to
shrink_inactive_list() before being changed to per-cgroup.

do_numa_page() and do_huge_pmd_numa_page() share a lot of common code. To
reduce redundancy, move common code to numa_migrate_prep() and rename the
function to numa_migrate_check() to reflect its functionality.
Now do_huge_pmd_numa_page() also checks shared folios to set TNF_SHARED

The unuse_pte_range() caller only wants the folio while do_swap_page()
wants both the page and the folio. Since do_swap_page() already has logic
for handling both the folio and the page, move the folio-to-page logic
there. This also lets us allocate larger folios in the SWP_SYNCHRONOUS_IO
path in future.

There is a (harmless) type confusion in lock_vma_under_rcu(): After
vma_start_read(), we have taken the VMA lock but don't know yet whether
the VMA has already been detached and scheduled for RCU freeing. At this
point, ->vm_start and ->vm_end are accessed.
vm_area_struct contains a union such that ->vm_rcu uses the same memory as
->vm_start and ->vm_end; so accessing ->vm_start and ->vm_end of a
detached VMA is illegal and leads to type confusion between union members.
Fix it by reordering the vma->detached check above the address checks, and
document the rules for RCU readers accessing VMAs.
This will probably change the number of observed VMA_LOCK_MISS events
(since previously, trying to access a detached VMA whose ->vm_rcu has been
scheduled would bail out when checking the fault address against the
rcu_head members reinterpreted as VMA bounds).

Patch series "mm: replace follow_page() by folio_walk".
Looking into a way of moving the last folio_likely_mapped_shared() call in
add_folio_for_migration() under the PTL, I found myself removing
follow_page(). This paves the way for cleaning up all the FOLL_, follow_*
terminology to just be called "GUP" nowadays.
The new page table walker will lookup a mapped folio and return to the
caller with the PTL held, such that the folio cannot get unmapped
concurrently. Callers can then conditionally decide whether they really
want to take a short-term folio reference or whether the can simply unlock
the PTL and be done with it.
folio_walk is similar to page_vma_mapped_walk(), except that we don't know
the folio we want to walk to and that we are only walking to exactly one
PTE/PMD/PUD.
folio_walk provides access to the pte/pmd/pud (and the referenced folio
page because things like KSM need that), however, as part of this series
no page table modifications are performed by users.
We might be able to convert some other walk_page_range() users that really
only walk to one address, such as DAMON with
damon_mkold_ops/damon_young_ops. It might make sense to extend folio_walk
in the future to optionally fault in a folio (if applicable), such that we
can replace some get_user_pages() users that really only want to lookup a
single page/folio under PTL without unconditionally grabbing a folio
reference.
I have plans to extend the approach to a range walker that will try
batching various page table entries (not just folio pages) to be a better
replace for walk_page_range() -- and users will be able to opt in which
type of page table entries they want to process -- but that will require
more work and more thoughts.
KSM seems to work just fine (ksm_functional_tests selftests) and
move_pages seems to work (migration selftest). I tested the leaf
implementation excessively using various hugetlb sizes (64K, 2M, 32M, 1G)
on arm64 using move_pages and did some more testing on x86-64. Cross
compiled on a bunch of architectures.
This patch (of 11):
We want to make use of vm_normal_page_pmd() in generic page table walking
code where we might walk hugetlb folios that are mapped by PMDs even
without CONFIG_TRANSPARENT_HUGEPAGE.
So let's expose vm_normal_page_pmd() + vm_normal_folio_pmd() with
CONFIG_PGTABLE_HAS_HUGE_LEAVES.

support large folios
Right now, swapcache_prepare() and swapcache_clear() supports one entry
only, to support large folios, we need to handle multiple swap entries.
To optimize stack usage, we iterate twice in __swap_duplicate(): the first
time to verify that all entries are valid, and the second time to apply
the modifications to the entries.
Currently, we're using nr=1 for the existing users.

Patch series "mm: split PTE/PMD PT table Kconfig cleanups+clarifications".
This series is a follow up to the fixes:
"[PATCH v1 0/2] mm/hugetlb: fix hugetlb vs. core-mm PT locking"
When working on the fixes, I wondered why 8xx is fine (-> never uses split
PT locks) and how PT locking even works properly with PMD page table
sharing (-> always requires split PMD PT locks).
Let's improve the split PT lock detection, make hugetlb properly depend on
it and make 8xx bail out if it would ever get enabled by accident.
As an alternative to patch #3 we could extend the Kconfig
SPLIT_PTE_PTLOCKS option from patch #2 -- but enforcing it closer to the
code that actually implements it feels a bit nicer for documentation
purposes, and there is no need to actually disable it because it should
always be disabled (!SMP).
Did a bunch of cross-compilations to make sure that split PTE/PMD PT locks
are still getting used where we would expect them.
[1] https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20240725183955.2268884-1-david@redhat.com
This patch (of 3):
Let's clean that up a bit and prepare for depending on
CONFIG_SPLIT_PMD_PTLOCKS in other Kconfig options.
More cleanups would be reasonable (like the arch-specific "depends on" for
CONFIG_SPLIT_PTE_PTLOCKS), but we'll leave that for another day.

When handling a numa page fault, task_numa_fault() should be called by a
process that restores the page table of the faulted folio to avoid
duplicated stats counting. Commit b99a342d4f11 ("NUMA balancing: reduce
TLB flush via delaying mapping on hint page fault") restructured
do_numa_page() and did not avoid task_numa_fault() call in the second page
table check after a numa migration failure. Fix it by making all
!pte_same() return immediately.
This issue can cause task_numa_fault() being called more than necessary
and lead to unexpected numa balancing results (It is hard to tell whether
the issue will cause positive or negative performance impact due to
duplicated numa fault counting).

Commit 3bd786f76de2 ("mm: convert do_set_pte() to set_pte_range()")
replaced do_set_pte() with set_pte_range() and that introduced a
regression in the following faulting path of non-anonymous vmas which
caused the PTE for the faulting address to be marked as old instead of
young.
handle_pte_fault()
do_pte_missing()
do_fault()
do_read_fault() || do_cow_fault() || do_shared_fault()
finish_fault()
set_pte_range()
The polarity of prefault calculation is incorrect. This leads to prefault
being incorrectly set for the faulting address. The following check will
incorrectly mark the PTE old rather than young. On some architectures
this will cause a double fault to mark it young when the access is
retried.
if (prefault && arch_wants_old_prefaulted_pte())
entry = pte_mkold(entry);
On a subsequent fault on the same address, the faulting path will see a
non NULL vmf->pte and instead of reaching the do_pte_missing() path, PTE
will then be correctly marked young in handle_pte_fault() itself.
Due to this bug, performance degradation in the fault handling path will
be observed due to unnecessary double faulting.

Pull random number generator updates from Jason Donenfeld:
"This adds getrandom() support to the vDSO.
First, it adds a new kind of mapping to mmap(2), MAP_DROPPABLE, which
lets the kernel zero out pages anytime under memory pressure, which
enables allocating memory that never gets swapped to disk but also
doesn't count as being mlocked.
Then, the vDSO implementation of getrandom() is introduced in a
generic manner and hooked into random.c.
Next, this is implemented on x86. (Also, though it's not ready for
this pull, somebody has begun an arm64 implementation already)
Finally, two vDSO selftests are added.
There are also two housekeeping cleanup commits"
* tag 'random-6.11-rc1-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/crng/random:
MAINTAINERS: add random.h headers to RNG subsection
random: note that RNDGETPOOL was removed in 2.6.9-rc2
selftests/vDSO: add tests for vgetrandom
x86: vdso: Wire up getrandom() vDSO implementation
random: introduce generic vDSO getrandom() implementation
mm: add MAP_DROPPABLE for designating always lazily freeable mappings
|
|
The vDSO getrandom() implementation works with a buffer allocated with a
new system call that has certain requirements:
- It shouldn't be written to core dumps.
* Easy: VM_DONTDUMP.
- It should be zeroed on fork.
* Easy: VM_WIPEONFORK.
- It shouldn't be written to swap.
* Uh-oh: mlock is rlimited.
* Uh-oh: mlock isn't inherited by forks.
- It shouldn't reserve actual memory, but it also shouldn't crash when
page faulting in memory if none is available
* Uh-oh: VM_NORESERVE means segfaults.
It turns out that the vDSO getrandom() function has three really nice
characteristics that we can exploit to solve this problem:
1) Due to being wiped during fork(), the vDSO code is already robust to
having the contents of the pages it reads zeroed out midway through
the function's execution.
2) In the absolute worst case of whatever contingency we're coding for,
we have the option to fallback to the getrandom() syscall, and
everything is fine.
3) The buffers the function uses are only ever useful for a maximum of
60 seconds -- a sort of cache, rather than a long term allocation.
