      mm/ZONE_DEVICE: new type of ZONE_DEVICE for unaddressable memory · 5042db43
      Jérôme Glisse 提交于
      HMM (heterogeneous memory management) need struct page to support
      migration from system main memory to device memory.  Reasons for HMM and
      migration to device memory is explained with HMM core patch.
      
      This patch deals with device memory that is un-addressable memory (ie CPU
      can not access it).  Hence we do not want those struct page to be manage
      like regular memory.  That is why we extend ZONE_DEVICE to support
      different types of memory.
      
      A persistent memory type is define for existing user of ZONE_DEVICE and a
      new device un-addressable type is added for the un-addressable memory
      type.  There is a clear separation between what is expected from each
      memory type and existing user of ZONE_DEVICE are un-affected by new
      requirement and new use of the un-addressable type.  All specific code
      path are protect with test against the memory type.
      
      Because memory is un-addressable we use a new special swap type for when a
      page is migrated to device memory (this reduces the number of maximum swap
      file).
      
      The main two additions beside memory type to ZONE_DEVICE is two callbacks.
      First one, page_free() is call whenever page refcount reach 1 (which
      means the page is free as ZONE_DEVICE page never reach a refcount of 0).
      This allow device driver to manage its memory and associated struct page.
      
      The second callback page_fault() happens when there is a CPU access to an
      address that is back by a device page (which are un-addressable by the
      CPU).  This callback is responsible to migrate the page back to system
      main memory.  Device driver can not block migration back to system memory,
      HMM make sure that such page can not be pin into device memory.
      
      If device is in some error condition and can not migrate memory back then
      a CPU page fault to device memory should end with SIGBUS.

      mm,fork: introduce MADV_WIPEONFORK · d2cd9ede
      Rik van Riel 提交于
      Introduce MADV_WIPEONFORK semantics, which result in a VMA being empty
      in the child process after fork.  This differs from MADV_DONTFORK in one
      important way.
      
      If a child process accesses memory that was MADV_WIPEONFORK, it will get
      zeroes.  The address ranges are still valid, they are just empty.
      
      If a child process accesses memory that was MADV_DONTFORK, it will get a
      segmentation fault, since those address ranges are no longer valid in
      the child after fork.
      
      Since MADV_DONTFORK also seems to be used to allow very large programs
      to fork in systems with strict memory overcommit restrictions, changing
      the semantics of MADV_DONTFORK might break existing programs.
      
      MADV_WIPEONFORK only works on private, anonymous VMAs.
      
      The use case is libraries that store or cache information, and want to
      know that they need to regenerate it in the child process after fork.
      
      Examples of this would be:
       - systemd/pulseaudio API checks (fail after fork) (replacing a getpid
         check, which is too slow without a PID cache)
       - PKCS#11 API reinitialization check (mandated by specification)
       - glibc's upcoming PRNG (reseed after fork)
       - OpenSSL PRNG (reseed after fork)
      
      The security benefits of a forking server having a re-inialized PRNG in
      every child process are pretty obvious.  However, due to libraries
      having all kinds of internal state, and programs getting compiled with
      many different versions of each library, it is unreasonable to expect
      calling programs to re-initialize everything manually after fork.
      
      A further complication is the proliferation of clone flags, programs
      bypassing glibc's functions to call clone directly, and programs calling
      unshare, causing the glibc pthread_atfork hook to not get called.
      
      It would be better to have the kernel take care of this automatically.
      
      The patch also adds MADV_KEEPONFORK, to undo the effects of a prior
      MADV_WIPEONFORK.
      
      This is similar to the OpenBSD minherit syscall with MAP_INHERIT_ZERO:

      mm: hugetlb: clear target sub-page last when clearing huge page · c79b57e4
      Huang Ying 提交于
      Huge page helps to reduce TLB miss rate, but it has higher cache
      footprint, sometimes this may cause some issue.  For example, when
      clearing huge page on x86_64 platform, the cache footprint is 2M.  But
      on a Xeon E5 v3 2699 CPU, there are 18 cores, 36 threads, and only 45M
      LLC (last level cache).  That is, in average, there are 2.5M LLC for
      each core and 1.25M LLC for each thread.
      
      If the cache pressure is heavy when clearing the huge page, and we clear
      the huge page from the begin to the end, it is possible that the begin
      of huge page is evicted from the cache after we finishing clearing the
      end of the huge page.  And it is possible for the application to access
      the begin of the huge page after clearing the huge page.
      
      To help the above situation, in this patch, when we clear a huge page,
      the order to clear sub-pages is changed.  In quite some situation, we
      can get the address that the application will access after we clear the
      huge page, for example, in a page fault handler.  Instead of clearing
      the huge page from begin to end, we will clear the sub-pages farthest
      from the the sub-page to access firstly, and clear the sub-page to
      access last.  This will make the sub-page to access most cache-hot and
      sub-pages around it more cache-hot too.  If we cannot know the address
      the application will access, the begin of the huge page is assumed to be
      the the address the application will access.
      
      With this patch, the throughput increases ~28.3% in vm-scalability
      anon-w-seq test case with 72 processes on a 2 socket Xeon E5 v3 2699
      system (36 cores, 72 threads).  The test case creates 72 processes, each
      process mmap a big anonymous memory area and writes to it from the begin
      to the end.  For each process, other processes could be seen as other
      workload which generates heavy cache pressure.  At the same time, the
      cache miss rate reduced from ~33.4% to ~31.7%, the IPC (instruction per
      cycle) increased from 0.56 to 0.74, and the time spent in user space is
      reduced ~7.9%
      
      Christopher Lameter suggests to clear bytes inside a sub-page from end
      to begin too.  But tests show no visible performance difference in the
      tests.  May because the size of page is small compared with the cache
      size.
      
      Thanks Andi Kleen to propose to use address to access to determine the
      order of sub-pages to clear.
      
      The hugetlbfs access address could be improved, will do that in another
      patch.

      mm: add vm_insert_mixed_mkwrite() · b2770da6
      Ross Zwisler 提交于
      When servicing mmap() reads from file holes the current DAX code
      allocates a page cache page of all zeroes and places the struct page
      pointer in the mapping->page_tree radix tree.  This has three major
      drawbacks:
      
      1) It consumes memory unnecessarily. For every 4k page that is read via
         a DAX mmap() over a hole, we allocate a new page cache page. This
         means that if you read 1GiB worth of pages, you end up using 1GiB of
         zeroed memory.
      
      2) It is slower than using a common zero page because each page fault
         has more work to do. Instead of just inserting a common zero page we
         have to allocate a page cache page, zero it, and then insert it.
      
      3) The fact that we had to check for both DAX exceptional entries and
         for page cache pages in the radix tree made the DAX code more
         complex.
      
      This series solves these issues by following the lead of the DAX PMD
      code and using a common 4k zero page instead.  This reduces memory usage
      and decreases latencies for some workloads, and it simplifies the DAX
      code, removing over 100 lines in total.
      
      This patch (of 5):
      
      To be able to use the common 4k zero page in DAX we need to have our PTE
      fault path look more like our PMD fault path where a PTE entry can be
      marked as dirty and writeable as it is first inserted rather than
      waiting for a follow-up dax_pfn_mkwrite() => finish_mkwrite_fault()
      call.
      
      Right now we can rely on having a dax_pfn_mkwrite() call because we can
      distinguish between these two cases in do_wp_page():
      
      	case 1: 4k zero page => writable DAX storage
      	case 2: read-only DAX storage => writeable DAX storage
      
      This distinction is made by via vm_normal_page().  vm_normal_page()
      returns false for the common 4k zero page, though, just as it does for
      DAX ptes.  Instead of special casing the DAX + 4k zero page case we will
      simplify our DAX PTE page fault sequence so that it matches our DAX PMD
      sequence, and get rid of the dax_pfn_mkwrite() helper.  We will instead
      use dax_iomap_fault() to handle write-protection faults.
      
      This means that insert_pfn() needs to follow the lead of
      insert_pfn_pmd() and allow us to pass in a 'mkwrite' flag.  If 'mkwrite'
      is set insert_pfn() will do the work that was previously done by
      wp_page_reuse() as part of the dax_pfn_mkwrite() call path.

      mm: larger stack guard gap, between vmas · 1be7107f
      Hugh Dickins 提交于
      Stack guard page is a useful feature to reduce a risk of stack smashing
      into a different mapping. We have been using a single page gap which
      is sufficient to prevent having stack adjacent to a different mapping.
      But this seems to be insufficient in the light of the stack usage in
      userspace. E.g. glibc uses as large as 64kB alloca() in many commonly
      used functions. Others use constructs liks gid_t buffer[NGROUPS_MAX]
      which is 256kB or stack strings with MAX_ARG_STRLEN.
      
      This will become especially dangerous for suid binaries and the default
      no limit for the stack size limit because those applications can be
      tricked to consume a large portion of the stack and a single glibc call
      could jump over the guard page. These attacks are not theoretical,
      unfortunatelly.
      
      Make those attacks less probable by increasing the stack guard gap
      to 1MB (on systems with 4k pages; but make it depend on the page size
      because systems with larger base pages might cap stack allocations in
      the PAGE_SIZE units) which should cover larger alloca() and VLA stack
      allocations. It is obviously not a full fix because the problem is
      somehow inherent, but it should reduce attack space a lot.
      
      One could argue that the gap size should be configurable from userspace,
      but that can be done later when somebody finds that the new 1MB is wrong
      for some special case applications.  For now, add a kernel command line
      option (stack_guard_gap) to specify the stack gap size (in page units).
      
      Implementation wise, first delete all the old code for stack guard page:
      because although we could get away with accounting one extra page in a
      stack vma, accounting a larger gap can break userspace - case in point,
      a program run with "ulimit -S -v 20000" failed when the 1MB gap was
      counted for RLIMIT_AS; similar problems could come with RLIMIT_MLOCK
      and strict non-overcommit mode.
      
      Instead of keeping gap inside the stack vma, maintain the stack guard
      gap as a gap between vmas: using vm_start_gap() in place of vm_start
      (or vm_end_gap() in place of vm_end if VM_GROWSUP) in just those few
      places which need to respect the gap - mainly arch_get_unmapped_area(),
      and and the vma tree's subtree_gap support for that.

      treewide: use kv[mz]alloc* rather than opencoded variants · 752ade68
      Michal Hocko 提交于
      There are many code paths opencoding kvmalloc.  Let's use the helper
      instead.  The main difference to kvmalloc is that those users are
      usually not considering all the aspects of the memory allocator.  E.g.
      allocation requests <= 32kB (with 4kB pages) are basically never failing
      and invoke OOM killer to satisfy the allocation.  This sounds too
      disruptive for something that has a reasonable fallback - the vmalloc.
      On the other hand those requests might fallback to vmalloc even when the
      memory allocator would succeed after several more reclaim/compaction
      attempts previously.  There is no guarantee something like that happens
      though.
      
      This patch converts many of those places to kv[mz]alloc* helpers because
      they are more conservative.

      mm: introduce kv[mz]alloc helpers · a7c3e901
      Michal Hocko 提交于
      Patch series "kvmalloc", v5.
      
      There are many open coded kmalloc with vmalloc fallback instances in the
      tree.  Most of them are not careful enough or simply do not care about
      the underlying semantic of the kmalloc/page allocator which means that
      a) some vmalloc fallbacks are basically unreachable because the kmalloc
      part will keep retrying until it succeeds b) the page allocator can
      invoke a really disruptive steps like the OOM killer to move forward
      which doesn't sound appropriate when we consider that the vmalloc
      fallback is available.
      
      As it can be seen implementing kvmalloc requires quite an intimate
      knowledge if the page allocator and the memory reclaim internals which
      strongly suggests that a helper should be implemented in the memory
      subsystem proper.
      
      Most callers, I could find, have been converted to use the helper
      instead.  This is patch 6.  There are some more relying on __GFP_REPEAT
      in the networking stack which I have converted as well and Eric Dumazet
      was not opposed [2] to convert them as well.

      [2] http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1485273626.16328.301.camel@edumazet-glaptop3.roam.corp.google.com
      
      This patch (of 9):
      
      Using kmalloc with the vmalloc fallback for larger allocations is a
      common pattern in the kernel code.  Yet we do not have any common helper
      for that and so users have invented their own helpers.  Some of them are
      really creative when doing so.  Let's just add kv[mz]alloc and make sure
      it is implemented properly.  This implementation makes sure to not make
      a large memory pressure for > PAGE_SZE requests (__GFP_NORETRY) and also
      to not warn about allocation failures.  This also rules out the OOM
      killer as the vmalloc is a more approapriate fallback than a disruptive
      user visible action.
      
      This patch also changes some existing users and removes helpers which
      are specific for them.  In some cases this is not possible (e.g.
      ext4_kvmalloc, libcfs_kvzalloc) because those seems to be broken and
      require GFP_NO{FS,IO} context which is not vmalloc compatible in general
      (note that the page table allocation is GFP_KERNEL).  Those need to be
      fixed separately.
      
      While we are at it, document that __vmalloc{_node} about unsupported gfp
      mask because there seems to be a lot of confusion out there.
      kvmalloc_node will warn about GFP_KERNEL incompatible (which are not
      superset) flags to catch new abusers.  Existing ones would have to die
      slowly.

      mm, zone_device: Replace {get, put}_zone_device_page() with a single reference to fix pmem crash · 71389703
      Dan Williams 提交于
      The x86 conversion to the generic GUP code included a small change which causes
      crashes and data corruption in the pmem code - not good.
      
      The root cause is that the /dev/pmem driver code implicitly relies on the x86
      get_user_pages() implementation doing a get_page() on the page refcount, because
      get_page() does a get_zone_device_page() which properly refcounts pmem's separate
      page struct arrays that are not present in the regular page struct structures.
      (The pmem driver does this because it can cover huge memory areas.)
      
      But the x86 conversion to the generic GUP code changed the get_page() to
      page_cache_get_speculative() which is faster but doesn't do the
      get_zone_device_page() call the pmem code relies on.
      
      One way to solve the regression would be to change the generic GUP code to use
      get_page(), but that would slow things down a bit and punish other generic-GUP
      using architectures for an x86-ism they did not care about. (Arguably the pmem
      driver was probably not working reliably for them: but nvdimm is an Intel
      feature, so non-x86 exposure is probably still limited.)
      
      So restructure the pmem code's interface with the MM instead: get rid of the
      get/put_zone_device_page() distinction, integrate put_zone_device_page() into
      __put_page() and and restructure the pmem completion-wait and teardown machinery:
      
      Kirill points out that the calls to {get,put}_dev_pagemap() can be
      removed from the mm fast path if we take a single get_dev_pagemap()
      reference to signify that the page is alive and use the final put of the
      page to drop that reference.
      
      This does require some care to make sure that any waits for the
      percpu_ref to drop to zero occur *after* devm_memremap_page_release(),
      since it now maintains its own elevated reference.
      
      This speeds up things while also making the pmem refcounting more robust going
      forward.

      mm: add PageWaiters indicating tasks are waiting for a page bit · 62906027
      Nicholas Piggin 提交于
      Add a new page flag, PageWaiters, to indicate the page waitqueue has
      tasks waiting. This can be tested rather than testing waitqueue_active
      which requires another cacheline load.
      
      This bit is always set when the page has tasks on page_waitqueue(page),
      and is set and cleared under the waitqueue lock. It may be set when
      there are no tasks on the waitqueue, which will cause a harmless extra
      wakeup check that will clears the bit.
      
      The generic bit-waitqueue infrastructure is no longer used for pages.
      Instead, waitqueues are used directly with a custom key type. The
      generic code was not flexible enough to have PageWaiters manipulation
      under the waitqueue lock (which simplifies concurrency).
      
      This improves the performance of page lock intensive microbenchmarks by
      2-3%.
      
      Putting two bits in the same word opens the opportunity to remove the
      memory barrier between clearing the lock bit and testing the waiters
      bit, after some work on the arch primitives (e.g., ensuring memory
      operand widths match and cover both bits).
