      xarray: Replace exceptional entries · 3159f943
      Matthew Wilcox 提交于
      Introduce xarray value entries and tagged pointers to replace radix
      tree exceptional entries.  This is a slight change in encoding to allow
      the use of an extra bit (we can now store BITS_PER_LONG - 1 bits in a
      value entry).  It is also a change in emphasis; exceptional entries are
      intimidating and different.  As the comment explains, you can choose
      to store values or pointers in the xarray and they are both first-class
      citizens.

      mm, thp: Do not make pmd/pud dirty without a reason · 152e93af
      Kirill A. Shutemov 提交于
      Currently we make page table entries dirty all the time regardless of
      access type and don't even consider if the mapping is write-protected.
      The reasoning is that we don't really need dirty tracking on THP and
      making the entry dirty upfront may save some time on first write to the
      page.
      
      Unfortunately, such approach may result in false-positive
      can_follow_write_pmd() for huge zero page or read-only shmem file.
      
      Let's only make page dirty only if we about to write to the page anyway
      (as we do for small pages).
      
      I've restructured the code to make entry dirty inside
      maybe_p[mu]d_mkwrite(). It also takes into account if the vma is
      write-protected.

      License cleanup: add SPDX GPL-2.0 license identifier to files with no license · b2441318
      Greg Kroah-Hartman 提交于
      Many source files in the tree are missing licensing information, which
      makes it harder for compliance tools to determine the correct license.
      
      By default all files without license information are under the default
      license of the kernel, which is GPL version 2.
      
      Update the files which contain no license information with the 'GPL-2.0'
      SPDX license identifier.  The SPDX identifier is a legally binding
      shorthand, which can be used instead of the full boiler plate text.
      
      This patch is based on work done by Thomas Gleixner and Kate Stewart and
      Philippe Ombredanne.
      
      How this work was done:
      
      Patches were generated and checked against linux-4.14-rc6 for a subset of
      the use cases:
       - file had no licensing information it it.
       - file was a */uapi/* one with no licensing information in it,
       - file was a */uapi/* one with existing licensing information,
      
      Further patches will be generated in subsequent months to fix up cases
      where non-standard license headers were used, and references to license
      had to be inferred by heuristics based on keywords.
      
      The analysis to determine which SPDX License Identifier to be applied to
      a file was done in a spreadsheet of side by side results from of the
      output of two independent scanners (ScanCode & Windriver) producing SPDX
      tag:value files created by Philippe Ombredanne.  Philippe prepared the
      base worksheet, and did an initial spot review of a few 1000 files.
      
      The 4.13 kernel was the starting point of the analysis with 60,537 files
      assessed.  Kate Stewart did a file by file comparison of the scanner
      results in the spreadsheet to determine which SPDX license identifier(s)
      to be applied to the file. She confirmed any determination that was not
      immediately clear with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.
      
      Criteria used to select files for SPDX license identifier tagging was:
       - Files considered eligible had to be source code files.
       - Make and config files were included as candidates if they contained >5
         lines of source
       - File already had some variant of a license header in it (even if <5
         lines).
      
      All documentation files were explicitly excluded.
      
      The following heuristics were used to determine which SPDX license
      identifiers to apply.
      
       - when both scanners couldn't find any license traces, file was
         considered to have no license information in it, and the top level
         COPYING file license applied.
      
         For non */uapi/* files that summary was:
      
         SPDX license identifier                            # files
         ---------------------------------------------------|-------
         GPL-2.0                                              11139
      
         and resulted in the first patch in this series.
      
         If that file was a */uapi/* path one, it was "GPL-2.0 WITH
         Linux-syscall-note" otherwise it was "GPL-2.0".  Results of that was:
      
         SPDX license identifier                            # files
         ---------------------------------------------------|-------
         GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note                        930
      
         and resulted in the second patch in this series.
      
       - if a file had some form of licensing information in it, and was one
         of the */uapi/* ones, it was denoted with the Linux-syscall-note if
         any GPL family license was found in the file or had no licensing in
         it (per prior point).  Results summary:
      
         SPDX license identifier                            # files
         ---------------------------------------------------|------
         GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note                       270
         GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note                      169
         ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-2-Clause)    21
         ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause)    17
         LGPL-2.1+ WITH Linux-syscall-note                      15
         GPL-1.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note                       14
         ((GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause)    5
         LGPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note                       4
         LGPL-2.1 WITH Linux-syscall-note                        3
         ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR MIT)              3
         ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) AND MIT)             1
      
         and that resulted in the third patch in this series.
      
       - when the two scanners agreed on the detected license(s), that became
         the concluded license(s).
      
       - when there was disagreement between the two scanners (one detected a
         license but the other didn't, or they both detected different
         licenses) a manual inspection of the file occurred.
      
       - In most cases a manual inspection of the information in the file
         resulted in a clear resolution of the license that should apply (and
         which scanner probably needed to revisit its heuristics).
      
       - When it was not immediately clear, the license identifier was
         confirmed with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.
      
       - If there was any question as to the appropriate license identifier,
         the file was flagged for further research and to be revisited later
         in time.
      
      In total, over 70 hours of logged manual review was done on the
      spreadsheet to determine the SPDX license identifiers to apply to the
      source files by Kate, Philippe, Thomas and, in some cases, confirmation
      by lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.
      
      Kate also obtained a third independent scan of the 4.13 code base from
      FOSSology, and compared selected files where the other two scanners
      disagreed against that SPDX file, to see if there was new insights.  The
      Windriver scanner is based on an older version of FOSSology in part, so
      they are related.
      
      Thomas did random spot checks in about 500 files from the spreadsheets
      for the uapi headers and agreed with SPDX license identifier in the
      files he inspected. For the non-uapi files Thomas did random spot checks
      in about 15000 files.
      
      In initial set of patches against 4.14-rc6, 3 files were found to have
      copy/paste license identifier errors, and have been fixed to reflect the
      correct identifier.
      
      Additionally Philippe spent 10 hours this week doing a detailed manual
      inspection and review of the 12,461 patched files from the initial patch
      version early this week with:
       - a full scancode scan run, collecting the matched texts, detected
         license ids and scores
       - reviewing anything where there was a license detected (about 500+
         files) to ensure that the applied SPDX license was correct
       - reviewing anything where there was no detection but the patch license
         was not GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note to ensure that the applied
         SPDX license was correct
      
      This produced a worksheet with 20 files needing minor correction.  This
      worksheet was then exported into 3 different .csv files for the
      different types of files to be modified.
      
      These .csv files were then reviewed by Greg.  Thomas wrote a script to
      parse the csv files and add the proper SPDX tag to the file, in the
      format that the file expected.  This script was further refined by Greg
      based on the output to detect more types of files automatically and to
      distinguish between header and source .c files (which need different
      comment types.)  Finally Greg ran the script using the .csv files to
      generate the patches.

      mm: make PR_SET_THP_DISABLE immediately active · 18600332
      Michal Hocko 提交于
      PR_SET_THP_DISABLE has a rather subtle semantic.  It doesn't affect any
      existing mapping because it only updated mm->def_flags which is a
      template for new mappings.
      
      The mappings created after prctl(PR_SET_THP_DISABLE) have VM_NOHUGEPAGE
      flag set.  This can be quite surprising for all those applications which
      do not do prctl(); fork() & exec() and want to control their own THP
      behavior.
      
      Another usecase when the immediate semantic of the prctl might be useful
      is a combination of pre- and post-copy migration of containers with
      CRIU.  In this case CRIU populates a part of a memory region with data
      that was saved during the pre-copy stage.  Afterwards, the region is
      registered with userfaultfd and CRIU expects to get page faults for the
      parts of the region that were not yet populated.  However, khugepaged
      collapses the pages and the expected page faults do not occur.
      
      In more general case, the prctl(PR_SET_THP_DISABLE) could be used as a
      temporary mechanism for enabling/disabling THP process wide.
      
      Implementation wise, a new MMF_DISABLE_THP flag is added.  This flag is
      tested when decision whether to use huge pages is taken either during
      page fault of at the time of THP collapse.
      
      It should be noted, that the new implementation makes PR_SET_THP_DISABLE
      master override to any per-VMA setting, which was not the case
      previously.

      mm, thp: remove __GFP_NORETRY from khugepaged and madvised allocations · 25160354
      Vlastimil Babka 提交于
      After the previous patch, we can distinguish costly allocations that
      should be really lightweight, such as THP page faults, with
      __GFP_NORETRY.  This means we don't need to recognize khugepaged
      allocations via PF_KTHREAD anymore.  We can also change THP page faults
      in areas where madvise(MADV_HUGEPAGE) was used to try as hard as
      khugepaged, as the process has indicated that it benefits from THP's and
      is willing to pay some initial latency costs.
      
      We can also make the flags handling less cryptic by distinguishing
      GFP_TRANSHUGE_LIGHT (no reclaim at all, default mode in page fault) from
      GFP_TRANSHUGE (only direct reclaim, khugepaged default).  Adding
      __GFP_NORETRY or __GFP_KSWAPD_RECLAIM is done where needed.
      
      The patch effectively changes the current GFP_TRANSHUGE users as
      follows:
      
      * get_huge_zero_page() - the zero page lifetime should be relatively
        long and it's shared by multiple users, so it's worth spending some
        effort on it.  We use GFP_TRANSHUGE, and __GFP_NORETRY is not added.
        This also restores direct reclaim to this allocation, which was
        unintentionally removed by commit e4a49efe4e7e ("mm: thp: set THP defrag
        by default to madvise and add a stall-free defrag option")
      
      * alloc_hugepage_khugepaged_gfpmask() - this is khugepaged, so latency
        is not an issue.  So if khugepaged "defrag" is enabled (the default), do
        reclaim via GFP_TRANSHUGE without __GFP_NORETRY.  We can remove the
        PF_KTHREAD check from page alloc.
      
        As a side-effect, khugepaged will now no longer check if the initial
        compaction was deferred or contended.  This is OK, as khugepaged sleep
        times between collapsion attempts are long enough to prevent noticeable
        disruption, so we should allow it to spend some effort.
      
      * migrate_misplaced_transhuge_page() - already was masking out
        __GFP_RECLAIM, so just convert to GFP_TRANSHUGE_LIGHT which is
        equivalent.
      
      * alloc_hugepage_direct_gfpmask() - vma's with VM_HUGEPAGE (via madvise)
        are now allocating without __GFP_NORETRY.  Other vma's keep using
        __GFP_NORETRY if direct reclaim/compaction is at all allowed (by default
        it's allowed only for madvised vma's).  The rest is conversion to
        GFP_TRANSHUGE(_LIGHT).
