      mm: replace vma prio_tree with an interval tree · 6b2dbba8
      Michel Lespinasse 提交于
      Implement an interval tree as a replacement for the VMA prio_tree.  The
      algorithms are similar to lib/interval_tree.c; however that code can't be
      directly reused as the interval endpoints are not explicitly stored in the
      VMA.  So instead, the common algorithm is moved into a template and the
      details (node type, how to get interval endpoints from the node, etc) are
      filled in using the C preprocessor.
      
      Once the interval tree functions are available, using them as a
      replacement to the VMA prio tree is a relatively simple, mechanical job.

      mm: compaction: capture a suitable high-order page immediately when it is made available · 1fb3f8ca
      Mel Gorman 提交于
      While compaction is migrating pages to free up large contiguous blocks
      for allocation it races with other allocation requests that may steal
      these blocks or break them up.  This patch alters direct compaction to
      capture a suitable free page as soon as it becomes available to reduce
      this race.  It uses similar logic to split_free_page() to ensure that
      watermarks are still obeyed.

      mm: kill vma flag VM_RESERVED and mm->reserved_vm counter · 314e51b9
      Konstantin Khlebnikov 提交于
      A long time ago, in v2.4, VM_RESERVED kept swapout process off VMA,
      currently it lost original meaning but still has some effects:
      
       | effect                 | alternative flags
      -+------------------------+---------------------------------------------
      1| account as reserved_vm | VM_IO
      2| skip in core dump      | VM_IO, VM_DONTDUMP
      3| do not merge or expand | VM_IO, VM_DONTEXPAND, VM_HUGETLB, VM_PFNMAP
      4| do not mlock           | VM_IO, VM_DONTEXPAND, VM_HUGETLB, VM_PFNMAP
      
      This patch removes reserved_vm counter from mm_struct.  Seems like nobody
      cares about it, it does not exported into userspace directly, it only
      reduces total_vm showed in proc.
      
      Thus VM_RESERVED can be replaced with VM_IO or pair VM_DONTEXPAND | VM_DONTDUMP.
      
      remap_pfn_range() and io_remap_pfn_range() set VM_IO|VM_DONTEXPAND|VM_DONTDUMP.
      remap_vmalloc_range() set VM_DONTEXPAND | VM_DONTDUMP.

      mm: kill vma flag VM_EXECUTABLE and mm->num_exe_file_vmas · e9714acf
      Konstantin Khlebnikov 提交于
      Currently the kernel sets mm->exe_file during sys_execve() and then tracks
      number of vmas with VM_EXECUTABLE flag in mm->num_exe_file_vmas, as soon
      as this counter drops to zero kernel resets mm->exe_file to NULL.  Plus it
      resets mm->exe_file at last mmput() when mm->mm_users drops to zero.
      
      VMA with VM_EXECUTABLE flag appears after mapping file with flag
      MAP_EXECUTABLE, such vmas can appears only at sys_execve() or after vma
      splitting, because sys_mmap ignores this flag.  Usually binfmt module sets
      mm->exe_file and mmaps executable vmas with this file, they hold
      mm->exe_file while task is running.
      
      comment from v2.6.25-6245-g925d1c40 ("procfs task exe symlink"),
      where all this stuff was introduced:
      
      > The kernel implements readlink of /proc/pid/exe by getting the file from
      > the first executable VMA.  Then the path to the file is reconstructed and

      exe_file's vma accounting is hooked into every file mmap/unmmap and vma
      split/merge just to fix some hypothetical pinning fs from umounting by mm,
      which already unmapped all its executable files, but still alive.
      
      Seems like currently nobody depends on this behaviour.  We can try to
      remove this logic and keep mm->exe_file until final mmput().
      
      mm->exe_file is still protected with mm->mmap_sem, because we want to
      change it via new sys_prctl(PR_SET_MM_EXE_FILE).  Also via this syscall
      task can change its mm->exe_file and unpin mountpoint explicitly.

      Move actual pte filling for non-linear file mappings into the new special
      vma operation: ->remap_pages().
      
      Filesystems must implement this method to get non-linear mapping support,
      if it uses filemap_fault() then generic_file_remap_pages() can be used.
      
      Now device drivers can implement this method and obtain nonlinear vma support.

      mm: kill vma flag VM_INSERTPAGE · 4b6e1e37
      Konstantin Khlebnikov 提交于
      Merge VM_INSERTPAGE into VM_MIXEDMAP.  VM_MIXEDMAP VMA can mix pure-pfn
      ptes, special ptes and normal ptes.
      
      Now copy_page_range() always copies VM_MIXEDMAP VMA on fork like
      VM_PFNMAP.  If driver populates whole VMA at mmap() it probably not
      expects page-faults.
      
      This patch removes special check from vma_wants_writenotify() which
      disables pages write tracking for VMA populated via vm_instert_page().
      BDI below mapped file should not use dirty-accounting, moreover
      do_wp_page() can handle this.
      
      vm_insert_page() still marks vma after first usage.  Usually it is called
      from f_op->mmap() handler under mm->mmap_sem write-lock, so it able to
      change vma->vm_flags.  Caller must set VM_MIXEDMAP at mmap time if it
      wants to call this function from other places, for example from page-fault
      handler.

      arch/x86/.
      
      This patch also restores orignal frustration-free is_cow_mapping() check

      ("x86: PAT: store vm_pgoff for all linear_over_vma_region mappings - v3")
      
      is_linear_pfn_mapping() checks can be removed from mm/huge_memory.c,
      because it already handled by VM_PFNMAP in VM_NO_THP bit-mask.

      This patch adds two new APIs get_kernel_pages() and get_kernel_page() that
      may be used to pin a vector of kernel addresses for IO.  The initial user
      is expected to be NFS for allowing pages to be written to swap using
      aops->direct_IO().  Strictly speaking, swap-over-NFS only needs to pin one
      page for IO but it makes sense to express the API in terms of a vector and
      add a helper for pinning single pages.

      mm: methods for teaching filesystems about PG_swapcache pages · f981c595
      Mel Gorman 提交于
      In order to teach filesystems to handle swap cache pages, three new page
      functions are introduced:
      
        pgoff_t page_file_index(struct page *);
        loff_t page_file_offset(struct page *);
        struct address_space *page_file_mapping(struct page *);
      
      page_file_index() - gives the offset of this page in the file in
      PAGE_CACHE_SIZE blocks.  Like page->index is for mapped pages, this
      function also gives the correct index for PG_swapcache pages.
      
      page_file_offset() - uses page_file_index(), so that it will give the
      expected result, even for PG_swapcache pages.
      
      page_file_mapping() - gives the mapping backing the actual page; that is
      for swap cache pages it will give swap_file->f_mapping.

      Otherwise it will cause memory leak when adding memory to the empty zone
      again because build_all_zonelists() will allocate zone->pageset for an

      In commit dad1743e ("x86/mce: Only restart instruction after machine
      check recovery if it is safe") we fixed mce_notify_process() to force a
      signal to the current process if it was not restartable (RIPV bit not
      set in MCG_STATUS). But doing it here means that the process doesn't
      get told the virtual address of the fault via siginfo_t->si_addr. This
      would prevent application level recovery from the fault.
      
      Make a new MF_MUST_KILL flag bit for memory_failure() et al. to use so
      that we will provide the right information with the signal.

      mm for fs: add truncate_pagecache_range() · 623e3db9
      Hugh Dickins 提交于
      Holepunching filesystems ext4 and xfs are using truncate_inode_pages_range
      but forgetting to unmap pages first (ocfs2 remembers).  This is not really
      a bug, since races already require truncate_inode_page() to handle that
      case once the page is locked; but it can be very inefficient if the file
      being punched happens to be mapped into many vmas.
      
      Provide a drop-in replacement truncate_pagecache_range() which does the
      unmapping pass first, handling the awkward mismatch between arguments to
      truncate_inode_pages_range() and arguments to unmap_mapping_range().
      
      Note that holepunching does not unmap privately COWed pages in the range:
      POSIX requires that we do so when truncating, but it's hard to justify,
      difficult to implement without an i_size cutoff, and no filesystem is
      attempting to implement it.

      coredump: add VM_NODUMP, MADV_NODUMP, MADV_CLEAR_NODUMP · accb61fe
      Jason Baron 提交于
      Since we no longer need the VM_ALWAYSDUMP flag, let's use the freed bit
      for 'VM_NODUMP' flag.  The idea is is to add a new madvise() flag:
      MADV_DONTDUMP, which can be set by applications to specifically request
      memory regions which should not dump core.
      
      The specific application I have in mind is qemu: we can add a flag there
      that wouldn't dump all of guest memory when qemu dumps core.  This flag
      might also be useful for security sensitive apps that want to absolutely
      make sure that parts of memory are not dumped.  To clear the flag use:
      MADV_DODUMP.

      coredump: remove VM_ALWAYSDUMP flag · 909af768
      Jason Baron 提交于
      The motivation for this patchset was that I was looking at a way for a
      qemu-kvm process, to exclude the guest memory from its core dump, which
      can be quite large.  There are already a number of filter flags in
      /proc/<pid>/coredump_filter, however, these allow one to specify 'types'
      of kernel memory, not specific address ranges (which is needed in this
      case).
      
      Since there are no more vma flags available, the first patch eliminates
      the need for the 'VM_ALWAYSDUMP' flag.  The flag is used internally by
      the kernel to mark vdso and vsyscall pages.  However, it is simple
      enough to check if a vma covers a vdso or vsyscall page without the need
      for this flag.
      
      The second patch then replaces the 'VM_ALWAYSDUMP' flag with a new
      'VM_NODUMP' flag, which can be set by userspace using new madvise flags:
      'MADV_DONTDUMP', and unset via 'MADV_DODUMP'.  The core dump filters
      continue to work the same as before unless 'MADV_DONTDUMP' is set on the
      region.
      
      The qemu code which implements this features is at:
      
        http://people.redhat.com/~jbaron/qemu-dump/qemu-dump.patch
      
      In my testing the qemu core dump shrunk from 383MB -> 13MB with this
      patch.
      
      I also believe that the 'MADV_DONTDUMP' flag might be useful for
      security sensitive apps, which might want to select which areas are
      dumped.
      
      This patch:
      
      The VM_ALWAYSDUMP flag is currently used by the coredump code to
      indicate that a vma is part of a vsyscall or vdso section.  However, we
      can determine if a vma is in one these sections by checking it against
      the gate_vma and checking for a non-NULL return value from
      arch_vma_name().  Thus, freeing a valuable vma bit.

      procfs: mark thread stack correctly in proc/<pid>/maps · b7643757
      Siddhesh Poyarekar 提交于
      Stack for a new thread is mapped by userspace code and passed via
      sys_clone.  This memory is currently seen as anonymous in
      /proc/<pid>/maps, which makes it difficult to ascertain which mappings
      are being used for thread stacks.  This patch uses the individual task
      stack pointers to determine which vmas are actually thread stacks.
      
      For a multithreaded program like the following:
      
      	#include <pthread.h>
      
      	void *thread_main(void *foo)
      	{
      		while(1);
      	}
      
      	int main()
      	{
      		pthread_t t;
      		pthread_create(&t, NULL, thread_main, NULL);
      		pthread_join(t, NULL);
      	}

      Here, one could guess that 7f8a44492000-7f8a44c92000 is a stack since
      the earlier vma that has no permissions (7f8a44e3d000-7f8a4503d000) but
      that is not always a reliable way to find out which vma is a thread
      stack.  Also, /proc/PID/maps and /proc/PID/task/TID/maps has the same
      content.
      
      With this patch in place, /proc/PID/task/TID/maps are treated as 'maps
      as the task would see it' and hence, only the vma that that task uses as
      stack is marked as [stack].  All other 'stack' vmas are marked as
      anonymous memory.  /proc/PID/maps acts as a thread group level view,
      where all thread stack vmas are marked as [stack:TID] where TID is the
      process ID of the task that uses that vma as stack, while the process

      BUG: headers with BUG/BUG_ON etc. need linux/bug.h · 187f1882
      Paul Gortmaker 提交于
      If a header file is making use of BUG, BUG_ON, BUILD_BUG_ON, or any
      other BUG variant in a static inline (i.e. not in a #define) then
      that header really should be including <linux/bug.h> and not just
      expecting it to be implicitly present.
      
      We can make this change risk-free, since if the files using these
      headers didn't have exposure to linux/bug.h already, they would have
      been causing compile failures/warnings.

      procfs: introduce the /proc/<pid>/map_files/ directory · 640708a2
      Pavel Emelyanov 提交于
      This one behaves similarly to the /proc/<pid>/fd/ one - it contains
      symlinks one for each mapping with file, the name of a symlink is
      "vma->vm_start-vma->vm_end", the target is the file.  Opening a symlink
      results in a file that point exactly to the same inode as them vma's one.
      
      For example the ls -l of some arbitrary /proc/<pid>/map_files/

      This *helps* checkpointing process in three ways:
      
      1. When dumping a task mappings we do know exact file that is mapped
         by particular region.  We do this by opening
         /proc/$pid/map_files/$address symlink the way we do with file
         descriptors.
      
      2. This also helps in determining which anonymous shared mappings are
         shared with each other by comparing the inodes of them.
      
      3. When restoring a set of processes in case two of them has a mapping
         shared, we map the memory by the 1st one and then open its
         /proc/$pid/map_files/$address file and map it by the 2nd task.
      
      Using /proc/$pid/maps for this is quite inconvenient since it brings
      repeatable re-reading and reparsing for this text file which slows down
      restore procedure significantly.  Also as being pointed in (3) it is a way
      easier to use top level shared mapping in children as
      /proc/$pid/map_files/$address when needed.

      mm: more intensive memory corruption debugging · c0a32fc5
      Stanislaw Gruszka 提交于
      With CONFIG_DEBUG_PAGEALLOC configured, the CPU will generate an exception
      on access (read,write) to an unallocated page, which permits us to catch
      code which corrupts memory.  However the kernel is trying to maximise
      memory usage, hence there are usually few free pages in the system and
      buggy code usually corrupts some crucial data.
      
      This patch changes the buddy allocator to keep more free/protected pages
      and to interlace free/protected and allocated pages to increase the
      probability of catching corruption.
      
      When the kernel is compiled with CONFIG_DEBUG_PAGEALLOC,
      debug_guardpage_minorder defines the minimum order used by the page
      allocator to grant a request.  The requested size will be returned with
      the remaining pages used as guard pages.
      
      The default value of debug_guardpage_minorder is zero: no change from
      current behaviour.

      HWPOISON: Add code to handle "action required" errors. · 7329bbeb
      Tony Luck 提交于
      Add new flag bit "MF_ACTION_REQUIRED" to be used by machine check
      code to force a signal with si_code = BUS_MCEERR_AR in the case
      where the error occurs in processor execution context. Pass the
      flags argument along call chain:
      	memory_failure()
      	  hwpoison_user_mappings()
      	    kill_procs()
      	      kill_proc()
      
      Drop the "_ao" suffix from kill_procs_ao() and kill_proc_ao() since
      they can now handle "action required" as well as "action optional" errors.

      HWPOISON: Clean up memory_failure() vs. __memory_failure() · cd42f4a3
      Tony Luck 提交于
      There is only one caller of memory_failure(), all other users call
      __memory_failure() and pass in the flags argument explicitly. The
      lone user of memory_failure() will soon need to pass flags too.
      
      Add flags argument to the callsite in mce.c. Delete the old memory_failure()
      function, and then rename __memory_failure() without the leading "__".
      
      Provide clearer message when action optional memory errors are ignored.
