kcov provides code coverage collection for coverage-guided fuzzing (randomized testing). Coverage-guided fuzzing is a testing technique that uses coverage feedback to determine new interesting inputs to a system. A notable user-space example is AFL (http://lcamtuf.coredump.cx/afl/). However, this technique is not widely used for kernel testing due to missing compiler and kernel support. kcov does not aim to collect as much coverage as possible. It aims to collect more or less stable coverage that is function of syscall inputs. To achieve this goal it does not collect coverage in soft/hard interrupts and instrumentation of some inherently non-deterministic or non-interesting parts of kernel is disbled (e.g. scheduler, locking). Currently there is a single coverage collection mode (tracing), but the API anticipates additional collection modes. Initially I also implemented a second mode which exposes coverage in a fixed-size hash table of counters (what Quentin used in his original patch). I've dropped the second mode for simplicity. This patch adds the necessary support on kernel side. The complimentary compiler support was added in gcc revision 231296. We've used this support to build syzkaller system call fuzzer, which has found 90 kernel bugs in just 2 months: https://github.com/google/syzkaller/wiki/Found-Bugs We've also found 30+ bugs in our internal systems with syzkaller. Another (yet unexplored) direction where kcov coverage would greatly help is more traditional "blob mutation". For example, mounting a random blob as a filesystem, or receiving a random blob over wire. Why not gcov. Typical fuzzing loop looks as follows: (1) reset coverage, (2) execute a bit of code, (3) collect coverage, repeat. A typical coverage can be just a dozen of basic blocks (e.g. an invalid input). In such context gcov becomes prohibitively expensive as reset/collect coverage steps depend on total number of basic blocks/edges in program (in case of kernel it is about 2M). Cost of kcov depends only on number of executed basic blocks/edges. On top of that, kernel requires per-thread coverage because there are always background threads and unrelated processes that also produce coverage. With inlined gcov instrumentation per-thread coverage is not possible. kcov exposes kernel PCs and control flow to user-space which is insecure. But debugfs should not be mapped as user accessible.

FAT has long supported its own default file name encoding config setting, separate from CONFIG_NLS_DEFAULT. However, if UTF-8 encoded file names are desired FAT character set should not be set to utf8 since this would make file names case sensitive even if case insensitive matching is requested. Instead, "utf8" mount options should be provided to enable UTF-8 file names in FAT file system. Unfortunately, there was no possibility to set the default value of this option so on UTF-8 system "utf8" mount option had to be added manually to most FAT mounts. This patch adds config option to set such default value. Signed-off-by: NMaciej S.

This document will describe OCFS2 online file check feature. OCFS2 is often used in high-availaibility systems. However, OCFS2 usually converts the filesystem to read-only when encounters an error. This may not be necessary, since turning the filesystem read-only would affect other running processes as well, decreasing availability. Then, a mount option (errors=continue) is introduced, which would return the -EIO errno to the calling process and terminate furhter processing so that the filesystem is not corrupted further. The filesystem is not converted to read-only, and the problematic file's inode number is reported in the kernel log. The user can try to check/fix this file via online filecheck feature.

A mbigen hardware module can contain more than one device node. These device nodes contain the same register definition. mbigen_dev1:intc_dev1 { ... reg = <0x0 0xc0080000 0x0 0x10000>; ... }; mbigen_dev2:intc_dev2 { ... reg = <0x0 0xc0080000 0x0 0x10000>; ... }; In this case both devices try to request the same resource resulting in a resource conflict. To address this problem the devices need to be subnodes of the mbigen hardware module, which then contains the unique register space.

This patch provides a proc/PID/timerslack_ns interface which exposes a task's timerslack value in nanoseconds and allows it to be changed. This allows power/performance management software to set timer slack for other threads according to its policy for the thread (such as when the thread is designated foreground vs. background activity) If the value written is non-zero, slack is set to that value. Otherwise sets it to the default for the thread. This interface checks that the calling task has permissions to to use PTRACE_MODE_ATTACH_FSCREDS on the target task, so that we can ensure arbitrary apps do not change the timer slack for other apps.

Setting the original memory.limit_in_bytes hardlimit is subject to a race condition when the desired value is below the current usage. The code tries a few times to first reclaim and then see if the usage has dropped to where we would like it to be, but there is no locking, and the workload is free to continue making new charges up to the old limit. Thus, attempting to shrink a workload relies on pure luck and hope that the workload happens to cooperate. To fix this in the cgroup2 memory.max knob, do it the other way round: set the limit first, then try enforcement. And if reclaim is not able to succeed, trigger OOM kills in the group. Keep going until the new limit is met, we run out of OOM victims and there's only unreclaimable memory left, or the task writing to memory.max is killed. This allows users to shrink groups reliably, and the behavior is consistent with what happens when new charges are attempted in excess of memory.max.

由 Mel Gorman 提交于
THP defrag is enabled by default to direct reclaim/compact but not wake kswapd in the event of a THP allocation failure. The problem is that THP allocation requests potentially enter reclaim/compaction. This potentially incurs a severe stall that is not guaranteed to be offset by reduced TLB misses. While there has been considerable effort to reduce the impact of reclaim/compaction, it is still a high cost and workloads that should fit in memory fail to do so. Specifically, a simple anon/file streaming workload will enter direct reclaim on NUMA at least even though the working set size is 80% of RAM. It's been years and it's time to throw in the towel. First, this patch defines THP defrag as follows; madvise: A failed allocation will direct reclaim/compact if the application requests it never: Neither reclaim/compact nor wake kswapd defer: A failed allocation will wake kswapd/kcompactd always: A failed allocation will direct reclaim/compact (historical behaviour) khugepaged defrag will enter direct/reclaim but not wake kswapd. Next it sets the default defrag option to be "madvise" to only enter direct reclaim/compaction for applications that specifically requested it. Lastly, it removes a check from the page allocator slowpath that is related to __GFP_THISNODE to allow "defer" to work. The callers that really cares are slub/slab and they are updated accordingly. The slab one may be surprising because it also corrects a comment as kswapd was never woken up by that path. This means that a THP fault will no longer stall for most applications by default and the ideal for most users that get THP if they are immediately available. There are still options for users that prefer a stall at startup of a new application by either restoring historical behaviour with "always" or pick a half-way point with "defer" where kswapd does some of the work in the background and wakes kcompactd if necessary. THP defrag for khugepaged remains enabled and will enter direct/reclaim but no wakeup kswapd or kcompactd. After this patch a THP allocation failure will quickly fallback and rely on khugepaged to recover the situation at some time in the future. In some cases, this will reduce THP usage but the benefit of THP is hard to measure and not a universal win where as a stall to reclaim/compaction is definitely measurable and can be painful. The first test for this is using "usemem" to read a large file and write a large anonymous mapping (to avoid the zero page) multiple times. The total size of the mappings is 80% of RAM and the benchmark simply measures how long it takes to complete. It uses multiple threads to see if that is a factor. On UMA, the performance is almost identical so is not reported but on NUMA, we see this usemem 4.4.0 4.4.0 kcompactd-v1r1 nodefrag-v1r3 Amean System-1 102.86 ( 0.00%) 46.81 ( 54.50%) Amean System-4 37.85 ( 0.00%) 34.02 ( 10.12%) Amean System-7 48.12 ( 0.00%) 46.89 ( 2.56%) Amean System-12 51.98 ( 0.00%) 56.96 ( -9.57%) Amean System-21 80.16 ( 0.00%) 79.05 ( 1.39%) Amean System-30 110.71 ( 0.00%) 107.17 ( 3.20%) Amean System-48 127.98 ( 0.00%) 124.83 ( 2.46%) Amean Elapsd-1 185.84 ( 0.00%) 105.51 ( 43.23%) Amean Elapsd-4 26.19 ( 0.00%) 25.58 ( 2.33%) Amean Elapsd-7 21.65 ( 0.00%) 21.62 ( 0.16%) Amean Elapsd-12 18.58 ( 0.00%) 17.94 ( 3.43%) Amean Elapsd-21 17.53 ( 0.00%) 16.60 ( 5.33%) Amean Elapsd-30 17.45 ( 0.00%) 17.13 ( 1.84%) Amean Elapsd-48 15.40 ( 0.00%) 15.27 ( 0.82%) For a single thread, the benchmark completes 43.23% faster with this patch applied with smaller benefits as the thread increases.

There is some kswapd activity but ftrace showed that the kswapd activity was due to normal wakeups from 4K pages being allocated. Compaction-related stalls and activity are almost eliminated. I also tried the stutter benchmark. For this, I do not have figures for NUMA but it's something that does impact UMA so I'll report what is available stutter 4.4.0 4.4.0 kcompactd-v1r1 nodefrag-v1r3 Min mmap 7.3571 ( 0.00%) 7.3438 ( 0.18%) 1st-qrtle mmap 7.5278 ( 0.00%) 17.9200 (-138.05%) 2nd-qrtle mmap 7.6818 ( 0.00%) 21.6055 (-181.25%) 3rd-qrtle mmap 11.0889 ( 0.00%) 21.8881 (-97.39%) Max-90% mmap 27.8978 ( 0.00%) 22.1632 ( 20.56%) Max-93% mmap 28.3202 ( 0.00%) 22.3044 ( 21.24%) Max-95% mmap 28.5600 ( 0.00%) 22.4580 ( 21.37%) Max-99% mmap 29.6032 ( 0.00%) 25.5216 ( 13.79%) Max mmap 4109.7289 ( 0.00%) 4813.9832 (-17.14%) Mean mmap 12.4474 ( 0.00%) 19.3027 (-55.07%) This benchmark is trying to fault an anonymous mapping while there is a heavy IO load -- a scenario that desktop users used to complain about frequently. This shows a mix because the ideal case of mapping with THP is not hit as often. However, note that 99% of the mappings complete 13.79% faster.

THP gives impressive gains in some cases but only if they are quickly available. We're not going to reach the point where they are completely free so lets take the costs out of the fast paths finally and defer the cost to kswapd, kcompactd and khugepaged where it belongs.

In machines with 140G of memory and enterprise flash storage, we have seen read and write bursts routinely exceed the kswapd watermarks and cause thundering herds in direct reclaim. Unfortunately, the only way to tune kswapd aggressiveness is through adjusting min_free_kbytes - the system's emergency reserves - which is entirely unrelated to the system's latency requirements. In order to get kswapd to maintain a 250M buffer of free memory, the emergency reserves need to be set to 1G. That is a lot of memory wasted for no good reason. On the other hand, it's reasonable to assume that allocation bursts and overall allocation concurrency scale with memory capacity, so it makes sense to make kswapd aggressiveness a function of that as well. Change the kswapd watermark scale factor from the currently fixed 25% of the tunable emergency reserve to a tunable 0.1% of memory. Beyond 1G of memory, this will produce bigger watermark steps than the current formula in default settings. Ensure that the new formula never chooses steps smaller than that, i.e. 25% of the emergency reserve. On a 140G machine, this raises the default watermark steps - the distance between min and low, and low and high - from 16M to 143M.

Count how many times we put a THP in split queue. Currently, it happens on partial unmap of a THP. Rapidly growing value can indicate that an application behaves unfriendly wrt THP: often fault in huge page and then unmap part of it. This leads to unnecessary memory fragmentation and the application may require tuning. The event also can help with debugging kernel [mis-]behaviour. Signed-off-by: NKirill A.

Add a new pseudo-board, within the existing SH boards/machine-vectors framework, which does not represent any actual hardware but instead requires all hardware to be described by the device tree blob provided by the boot loader. Changes made are thus non-invasive and do not risk breaking support for legacy boards. New hardware, including the open-hardware J2 and associated SoC devices, will use device free from the outset. Legacy SH boards can transition to device tree once all their hardware has device tree bindings, driver support for device tree, and a dts file for the board. It is intented that, once all boards are supported in the new framework, the existing machine-vectors framework should be removed and the new device tree setup code integrated directly.

This patch adds the following property for arc_emac. 1) phy-reset-gpios: The phy-reset-gpio is an optional property for arc emac device tree boot. Change the binding document to match the driver code. 2) phy-reset-duration: Different boards may require different phy reset duration. Add property phy-reset-duration for device tree probe, so that the boards that need a longer reset duration can specify it in their device tree. Anyway, we can add the above property for arc emac.
