      mmu-notifier: add clear_young callback · 1d7715c6
      Vladimir Davydov 提交于
      In the scope of the idle memory tracking feature, which is introduced by
      the following patch, we need to clear the referenced/accessed bit not only
      in primary, but also in secondary ptes.  The latter is required in order
      to estimate wss of KVM VMs.  At the same time we want to avoid flushing
      tlb, because it is quite expensive and it won't really affect the final
      result.
      
      Currently, there is no function for clearing pte young bit that would meet
      our requirements, so this patch introduces one.  To achieve that we have
      to add a new mmu-notifier callback, clear_young, since there is no method
      for testing-and-clearing a secondary pte w/o flushing tlb.  The new method
      is not mandatory and currently only implemented by KVM.

      kvm: Fix page ageing bugs · 57128468
      Andres Lagar-Cavilla 提交于
      1. We were calling clear_flush_young_notify in unmap_one, but we are
      within an mmu notifier invalidate range scope. The spte exists no more
      (due to range_start) and the accessed bit info has already been
      propagated (due to kvm_pfn_set_accessed). Simply call
      clear_flush_young.
      
      2. We clear_flush_young on a primary MMU PMD, but this may be mapped
      as a collection of PTEs by the secondary MMU (e.g. during log-dirty).
      This required expanding the interface of the clear_flush_young mmu
      notifier, so a lot of code has been trivially touched.
      
      3. In the absence of shadow_accessed_mask (e.g. EPT A bit), we emulate
      the access bit by blowing the spte. This requires proper synchronizing
      with MMU notifier consumers, like every other removal of spte's does.

      mmu_notifier: add call_srcu and sync function for listener to delay call and sync · b972216e
      Peter Zijlstra 提交于
      When kernel device drivers or subsystems want to bind their lifespan to
      t= he lifespan of the mm_struct, they usually use one of the following
      methods:
      
      1. Manually calling a function in the interested kernel module.  The
         funct= ion call needs to be placed in mmput.  This method was rejected
         by several ker= nel maintainers.
      
      2. Registering to the mmu notifier release mechanism.
      
      The problem with the latter approach is that the mmu_notifier_release
      cal= lback is called from__mmu_notifier_release (called from exit_mmap).
      That functi= on iterates over the list of mmu notifiers and don't expect
      the release call= back function to remove itself from the list.
      Therefore, the callback function= in the kernel module can't release the
      mmu_notifier_object, which is actuall= y the kernel module's object
      itself.  As a result, the destruction of the kernel module's object must
      to be done in a delayed fashion.
      
      This patch adds support for this delayed callback, by adding a new
      mmu_notifier_call_srcu function that receives a function ptr and calls
      th= at function with call_srcu.  In that function, the kernel module
      releases its object.  To use mmu_notifier_call_srcu, the calling module
      needs to call b= efore that a new function called
      mmu_notifier_unregister_no_release that as its= name implies,
      unregisters a notifier without calling its notifier release call= back.
      
      This patch also adds a function that will call barrier_srcu so those
      kern= el modules can sync with mmu_notifier.

      mm: audit/fix non-modular users of module_init in core code · a64fb3cd
      Paul Gortmaker 提交于
      Code that is obj-y (always built-in) or dependent on a bool Kconfig
      (built-in or absent) can never be modular.  So using module_init as an
      alias for __initcall can be somewhat misleading.
      
      Fix these up now, so that we can relocate module_init from init.h into
      module.h in the future.  If we don't do this, we'd have to add module.h
      to obviously non-modular code, and that would be a worse thing.
      
      The audit targets the following module_init users for change:
       mm/ksm.c                       bool KSM
       mm/mmap.c                      bool MMU
       mm/huge_memory.c               bool TRANSPARENT_HUGEPAGE
       mm/mmu_notifier.c              bool MMU_NOTIFIER
      
      Note that direct use of __initcall is discouraged, vs.  one of the
      priority categorized subgroups.  As __initcall gets mapped onto
      device_initcall, our use of subsys_initcall (which makes sense for these
      files) will thus change this registration from level 6-device to level
      4-subsys (i.e.  slightly earlier).
      
      However no observable impact of that difference has been observed during
      testing.
      
      One might think that core_initcall (l2) or postcore_initcall (l3) would
      be more appropriate for anything in mm/ but if we look at some actual
      init functions themselves, we see things like:
      
      mm/huge_memory.c --> hugepage_init     --> hugepage_init_sysfs
      mm/mmap.c        --> init_user_reserve --> sysctl_user_reserve_kbytes
      mm/ksm.c         --> ksm_init          --> sysfs_create_group
      
      and hence the choice of subsys_initcall (l4) seems reasonable, and at
      the same time minimizes the risk of changing the priority too
      drastically all at once.  We can adjust further in the future.
      
      Also, several instances of missing ";" at EOL are fixed.

      mm: mmu_notifier: re-fix freed page still mapped in secondary MMU · d34883d4
      Xiao Guangrong 提交于
      Commit 751efd86 ("mmu_notifier_unregister NULL Pointer deref and
      multiple ->release()") breaks the fix 3ad3d901 ("mm: mmu_notifier:
      fix freed page still mapped in secondary MMU").
      
      Since hlist_for_each_entry_rcu() is changed now, we can not revert that
      patch directly, so this patch reverts the commit and simply fix the bug
      spotted by that patch
      
      This bug spotted by commit 751efd86 is:
      
          There is a race condition between mmu_notifier_unregister() and
          __mmu_notifier_release().
      
          Assume two tasks, one calling mmu_notifier_unregister() as a result
          of a filp_close() ->flush() callout (task A), and the other calling
          mmu_notifier_release() from an mmput() (task B).
      
                              A                               B
          t1                                            srcu_read_lock()
          t2            if (!hlist_unhashed())
          t3                                            srcu_read_unlock()
          t4            srcu_read_lock()
          t5                                            hlist_del_init_rcu()
          t6                                            synchronize_srcu()
          t7            srcu_read_unlock()
          t8            hlist_del_rcu()  <--- NULL pointer deref.
      
      This can be fixed by using hlist_del_init_rcu instead of hlist_del_rcu.
      
      The another issue spotted in the commit is "multiple ->release()
      callouts", we needn't care it too much because it is really rare (e.g,
      can not happen on kvm since mmu-notify is unregistered after
      exit_mmap()) and the later call of multiple ->release should be fast
      since all the pages have already been released by the first call.
      Anyway, this issue should be fixed in a separate patch.
      
      -stable suggestions: Any version that has commit 751efd86 need to be
      backported.  I find the oldest version has this commit is 3.0-stable.

      hlist: drop the node parameter from iterators · b67bfe0d
      Sasha Levin 提交于
      I'm not sure why, but the hlist for each entry iterators were conceived
      
              list_for_each_entry(pos, head, member)
      
      The hlist ones were greedy and wanted an extra parameter:
      
              hlist_for_each_entry(tpos, pos, head, member)
      
      Why did they need an extra pos parameter? I'm not quite sure. Not only
      they don't really need it, it also prevents the iterator from looking
      exactly like the list iterator, which is unfortunate.
      
      Besides the semantic patch, there was some manual work required:
      
       - Fix up the actual hlist iterators in linux/list.h
       - Fix up the declaration of other iterators based on the hlist ones.
       - A very small amount of places were using the 'node' parameter, this
       was modified to use 'obj->member' instead.
       - Coccinelle didn't handle the hlist_for_each_entry_safe iterator
       properly, so those had to be fixed up manually.
      
      The semantic patch which is mostly the work of Peter Senna Tschudin is here:

      mm: export mmu notifier invalidates · fa794199
      Cliff Wickman 提交于
      We at SGI have a need to address some very high physical address ranges
      with our GRU (global reference unit), sometimes across partitioned
      machine boundaries and sometimes with larger addresses than the cpu
      supports.  We do this with the aid of our own 'extended vma' module
      which mimics the vma.  When something (either unmap or exit) frees an
      'extended vma' we use the mmu notifiers to clean them up.
      
      We had been able to mimic the functions
      __mmu_notifier_invalidate_range_start() and
      __mmu_notifier_invalidate_range_end() by locking the per-mm lock and
      walking the per-mm notifier list.  But with the change to a global srcu
      lock (static in mmu_notifier.c) we can no longer do that.  Our module has
      no access to that lock.
      
      So we request that these two functions be exported.

      mm/mmu_notifier: allocate mmu_notifier in advance · 35cfa2b0
      Gavin Shan 提交于
      While allocating mmu_notifier with parameter GFP_KERNEL, swap would start
      to work in case of tight available memory.  Eventually, that would lead to
      a deadlock while the swap deamon swaps anonymous pages.  It was caused by
      commit e0f3c3f7 ("mm/mmu_notifier: init notifier if necessary").

      mm: mmu_notifier: fix freed page still mapped in secondary MMU · 3ad3d901
      Xiao Guangrong 提交于
      mmu_notifier_release() is called when the process is exiting.  It will
      delete all the mmu notifiers.  But at this time the page belonging to the
      process is still present in page tables and is present on the LRU list, so
      this race will happen:
      
            CPU 0                 CPU 1

        mn->ops->release(mn, mm);
      
      Then the box is not stable and sometimes we can get this bug:

      The same issue is present in mmu_notifier_unregister().
      
      We can call ->release before deleting the notifier to ensure the page has
      been unmapped from the secondary MMU before it is freed.

      thp: mmu_notifier_test_young · 8ee53820
      Andrea Arcangeli 提交于
      For GRU and EPT, we need gup-fast to set referenced bit too (this is why
      it's correct to return 0 when shadow_access_mask is zero, it requires
      gup-fast to set the referenced bit).  qemu-kvm access already sets the
      young bit in the pte if it isn't zero-copy, if it's zero copy or a shadow
      paging EPT minor fault we relay on gup-fast to signal the page is in
      use...
      
      We also need to check the young bits on the secondary pagetables for NPT
      and not nested shadow mmu as the data may never get accessed again by the
      primary pte.
      
      Without this closer accuracy, we'd have to remove the heuristic that
      avoids collapsing hugepages in hugepage virtual regions that have not even
      a single subpage in use.
      
      ->test_young is full backwards compatible with GRU and other usages that
      don't have young bits in pagetables set by the hardware and that should
      nuke the secondary mmu mappings when ->clear_flush_young runs just like
      EPT does.
      
      Removing the heuristic that checks the young bit in
      khugepaged/collapse_huge_page completely isn't so bad either probably but
      I thought it was worth it and this makes it reliable.

      include cleanup: Update gfp.h and slab.h includes to prepare for breaking... · 5a0e3ad6
      Tejun Heo 提交于
      include cleanup: Update gfp.h and slab.h includes to prepare for breaking implicit slab.h inclusion from percpu.h
      
      percpu.h is included by sched.h and module.h and thus ends up being
      included when building most .c files.  percpu.h includes slab.h which
      in turn includes gfp.h making everything defined by the two files
      universally available and complicating inclusion dependencies.
      
      percpu.h -> slab.h dependency is about to be removed.  Prepare for
      this change by updating users of gfp and slab facilities include those
      headers directly instead of assuming availability.  As this conversion
      needs to touch large number of source files, the following script is
      used as the basis of conversion.
      
        http://userweb.kernel.org/~tj/misc/slabh-sweep.py
      
      The script does the followings.
      
      * Scan files for gfp and slab usages and update includes such that
        only the necessary includes are there.  ie. if only gfp is used,
        gfp.h, if slab is used, slab.h.
      
      * When the script inserts a new include, it looks at the include
        blocks and try to put the new include such that its order conforms
        to its surrounding.  It's put in the include block which contains
        core kernel includes, in the same order that the rest are ordered -
        alphabetical, Christmas tree, rev-Xmas-tree or at the end if there
        doesn't seem to be any matching order.
      
      * If the script can't find a place to put a new include (mostly
        because the file doesn't have fitting include block), it prints out
        an error message indicating which .h file needs to be added to the
        file.
      
      The conversion was done in the following steps.
      
      1. The initial automatic conversion of all .c files updated slightly
         over 4000 files, deleting around 700 includes and adding ~480 gfp.h
         and ~3000 slab.h inclusions.  The script emitted errors for ~400
         files.
      
      2. Each error was manually checked.  Some didn't need the inclusion,
         some needed manual addition while adding it to implementation .h or
         embedding .c file was more appropriate for others.  This step added
         inclusions to around 150 files.
      
      3. The script was run again and the output was compared to the edits
         from #2 to make sure no file was left behind.
      
      4. Several build tests were done and a couple of problems were fixed.
         e.g. lib/decompress_*.c used malloc/free() wrappers around slab
         APIs requiring slab.h to be added manually.
      
      5. The script was run on all .h files but without automatically
         editing them as sprinkling gfp.h and slab.h inclusions around .h
         files could easily lead to inclusion dependency hell.  Most gfp.h
         inclusion directives were ignored as stuff from gfp.h was usually
         wildly available and often used in preprocessor macros.  Each
         slab.h inclusion directive was examined and added manually as
         necessary.
      
      6. percpu.h was updated not to include slab.h.
      
      7. Build test were done on the following configurations and failures
         were fixed.  CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL was turned off for all tests (as my
         distributed build env didn't work with gcov compiles) and a few
         more options had to be turned off depending on archs to make things
         build (like ipr on powerpc/64 which failed due to missing writeq).
      
         * x86 and x86_64 UP and SMP allmodconfig and a custom test config.
         * powerpc and powerpc64 SMP allmodconfig
         * sparc and sparc64 SMP allmodconfig
         * ia64 SMP allmodconfig
         * s390 SMP allmodconfig
         * alpha SMP allmodconfig
         * um on x86_64 SMP allmodconfig
      
      8. percpu.h modifications were reverted so that it could be applied as
         a separate patch and serve as bisection point.
      
      Given the fact that I had only a couple of failures from tests on step
      6, I'm fairly confident about the coverage of this conversion patch.
      If there is a breakage, it's likely to be something in one of the arch
      headers which should be easily discoverable easily on most builds of
      the specific arch.

      ksm: add mmu_notifier set_pte_at_notify() · 828502d3
      Izik Eidus 提交于
      KSM is a linux driver that allows dynamicly sharing identical memory pages
      between one or more processes.
      
      Unlike tradtional page sharing that is made at the allocation of the
      memory, ksm do it dynamicly after the memory was created.  Memory is
      periodically scanned; identical pages are identified and merged.
      
      The sharing is made in a transparent way to the processes that use it.
      
      Ksm is highly important for hypervisors (kvm), where in production
      enviorments there might be many copys of the same data data among the host
      memory.  This kind of data can be: similar kernels, librarys, cache, and
      so on.
      
      Even that ksm was wrote for kvm, any userspace application that want to
      use it to share its data can try it.
      
      Ksm may be useful for any application that might have similar (page
      aligment) data strctures among the memory, ksm will find this data merge
      it to one copy, and even if it will be changed and thereforew copy on
      writed, ksm will merge it again as soon as it will be identical again.
      
      Another reason to consider using ksm is the fact that it might simplify
      alot the userspace code of application that want to use shared private
      data, instead that the application will mange shared area, ksm will do
      this for the application, and even write to this data will be allowed
      without any synchinization acts from the application.
      
      Ksm was designed to be a loadable module that doesn't change the VM code
      of linux.
      
      This patch:
      
      The set_pte_at_notify() macro allows setting a pte in the shadow page
      table directly, instead of flushing the shadow page table entry and then
      getting vmexit to set it.  It uses a new change_pte() callback to do so.
      
      set_pte_at_notify() is an optimization for kvm, and other users of
      mmu_notifiers, for COW pages.  It is useful for kvm when ksm is used,
      because it allows kvm not to have to receive vmexit and only then map the
      ksm page into the shadow page table, but instead map it directly at the
      same time as Linux maps the page into the host page table.
      
      Users of mmu_notifiers who don't implement new mmu_notifier_change_pte()
      callback will just receive the mmu_notifier_invalidate_page() callback.

      mmu-notifiers: core · cddb8a5c
      Andrea Arcangeli 提交于
      With KVM/GFP/XPMEM there isn't just the primary CPU MMU pointing to pages.
       There are secondary MMUs (with secondary sptes and secondary tlbs) too.
      sptes in the kvm case are shadow pagetables, but when I say spte in
      mmu-notifier context, I mean "secondary pte".  In GRU case there's no
      actual secondary pte and there's only a secondary tlb because the GRU
      secondary MMU has no knowledge about sptes and every secondary tlb miss
      event in the MMU always generates a page fault that has to be resolved by
      the CPU (this is not the case of KVM where the a secondary tlb miss will
      walk sptes in hardware and it will refill the secondary tlb transparently
      to software if the corresponding spte is present).  The same way
      zap_page_range has to invalidate the pte before freeing the page, the spte
      (and secondary tlb) must also be invalidated before any page is freed and
      reused.
      
      Currently we take a page_count pin on every page mapped by sptes, but that
      means the pages can't be swapped whenever they're mapped by any spte
      because they're part of the guest working set.  Furthermore a spte unmap
      event can immediately lead to a page to be freed when the pin is released
      (so requiring the same complex and relatively slow tlb_gather smp safe
      logic we have in zap_page_range and that can be avoided completely if the
      spte unmap event doesn't require an unpin of the page previously mapped in
      the secondary MMU).
      
      The mmu notifiers allow kvm/GRU/XPMEM to attach to the tsk->mm and know
      when the VM is swapping or freeing or doing anything on the primary MMU so
      that the secondary MMU code can drop sptes before the pages are freed,
      avoiding all page pinning and allowing 100% reliable swapping of guest
      physical address space.  Furthermore it avoids the code that teardown the
      mappings of the secondary MMU, to implement a logic like tlb_gather in
      zap_page_range that would require many IPI to flush other cpu tlbs, for
      each fixed number of spte unmapped.
      
      To make an example: if what happens on the primary MMU is a protection
      downgrade (from writeable to wrprotect) the secondary MMU mappings will be
      invalidated, and the next secondary-mmu-page-fault will call
      get_user_pages and trigger a do_wp_page through get_user_pages if it
      called get_user_pages with write=1, and it'll re-establishing an updated
      spte or secondary-tlb-mapping on the copied page.  Or it will setup a
      readonly spte or readonly tlb mapping if it's a guest-read, if it calls
      get_user_pages with write=0.  This is just an example.
      
      This allows to map any page pointed by any pte (and in turn visible in the
      primary CPU MMU), into a secondary MMU (be it a pure tlb like GRU, or an
      full MMU with both sptes and secondary-tlb like the shadow-pagetable layer
      with kvm), or a remote DMA in software like XPMEM (hence needing of
      schedule in XPMEM code to send the invalidate to the remote node, while no
      need to schedule in kvm/gru as it's an immediate event like invalidating
      primary-mmu pte).
      
      At least for KVM without this patch it's impossible to swap guests
      reliably.  And having this feature and removing the page pin allows
      several other optimizations that simplify life considerably.
      
      Dependencies:
      
      1) mm_take_all_locks() to register the mmu notifier when the whole VM
         isn't doing anything with "mm".  This allows mmu notifier users to keep
         track if the VM is in the middle of the invalidate_range_begin/end
         critical section with an atomic counter incraese in range_begin and
         decreased in range_end.  No secondary MMU page fault is allowed to map
         any spte or secondary tlb reference, while the VM is in the middle of
         range_begin/end as any page returned by get_user_pages in that critical
         section could later immediately be freed without any further
         ->invalidate_page notification (invalidate_range_begin/end works on
         ranges and ->invalidate_page isn't called immediately before freeing
         the page).  To stop all page freeing and pagetable overwrites the
         mmap_sem must be taken in write mode and all other anon_vma/i_mmap
         locks must be taken too.
      
      2) It'd be a waste to add branches in the VM if nobody could possibly
         run KVM/GRU/XPMEM on the kernel, so mmu notifiers will only enabled if
         CONFIG_KVM=m/y.  In the current kernel kvm won't yet take advantage of
         mmu notifiers, but this already allows to compile a KVM external module
         against a kernel with mmu notifiers enabled and from the next pull from
         kvm.git we'll start using them.  And GRU/XPMEM will also be able to
         continue the development by enabling KVM=m in their config, until they
         submit all GRU/XPMEM GPLv2 code to the mainline kernel.  Then they can
         also enable MMU_NOTIFIERS in the same way KVM does it (even if KVM=n).
         This guarantees nobody selects MMU_NOTIFIER=y if KVM and GRU and XPMEM
         are all =n.
      
      The mmu_notifier_register call can fail because mm_take_all_locks may be
      interrupted by a signal and return -EINTR.  Because mmu_notifier_reigster
      is used when a driver startup, a failure can be gracefully handled.  Here
      an example of the change applied to kvm to register the mmu notifiers.
      Usually when a driver startups other allocations are required anyway and
      -ENOMEM failure paths exists already.
      
       struct  kvm *kvm_arch_create_vm(void)
       {
              struct kvm *kvm = kzalloc(sizeof(struct kvm), GFP_KERNEL);
      +       int err;
      
              if (!kvm)
                      return ERR_PTR(-ENOMEM);
      
              INIT_LIST_HEAD(&kvm->arch.active_mmu_pages);
      
      +       kvm->arch.mmu_notifier.ops = &kvm_mmu_notifier_ops;
      +       err = mmu_notifier_register(&kvm->arch.mmu_notifier, current->mm);
      +       if (err) {
      +               kfree(kvm);
      +               return ERR_PTR(err);
      +       }
      +
              return kvm;
       }
      
      mmu_notifier_unregister returns void and it's reliable.
      
      The patch also adds a few needed but missing includes that would prevent
      kernel to compile after these changes on non-x86 archs (x86 didn't need
      them by luck).
