      mm: soft-dirty bits for user memory changes tracking · 0f8975ec
      由 Pavel Emelyanov 提交于 
      The soft-dirty is a bit on a PTE which helps to track which pages a task
writes to.  In order to do this tracking one should

  1. Clear soft-dirty bits from PTEs ("echo 4 > /proc/PID/clear_refs)
  2. Wait some time.
  3. Read soft-dirty bits (55'th in /proc/PID/pagemap2 entries)

To do this tracking, the writable bit is cleared from PTEs when the
soft-dirty bit is.  Thus, after this, when the task tries to modify a
page at some virtual address the #PF occurs and the kernel sets the
soft-dirty bit on the respective PTE.

Note, that although all the task's address space is marked as r/o after
the soft-dirty bits clear, the #PF-s that occur after that are processed
fast.  This is so, since the pages are still mapped to physical memory,
and thus all the kernel does is finds this fact out and puts back
writable, dirty and soft-dirty bits on the PTE.

Another thing to note, is that when mremap moves PTEs they are marked
with soft-dirty as well, since from the user perspective mremap modifies
the virtual memory at mremap's new address.

      x86/mm: Check if PUD is large when validating a kernel address · 0ee364eb
      由 Mel Gorman 提交于 
      A user reported the following oops when a backup process reads
/proc/kcore:

 BUG: unable to handle kernel paging request at ffffbb00ff33b000
 IP: [<ffffffff8103157e>] kern_addr_valid+0xbe/0x110
 [...]

 Call Trace:
  [<ffffffff811b8aaa>] read_kcore+0x17a/0x370
  [<ffffffff811ad847>] proc_reg_read+0x77/0xc0
  [<ffffffff81151687>] vfs_read+0xc7/0x130
  [<ffffffff811517f3>] sys_read+0x53/0xa0
  [<ffffffff81449692>] system_call_fastpath+0x16/0x1b

Investigation determined that the bug triggered when reading
system RAM at the 4G mark. On this system, that was the first
address using 1G pages for the virt->phys direct mapping so the
PUD is pointing to a physical address, not a PMD page.

The problem is that the page table walker in kern_addr_valid() is
not checking pud_large() and treats the physical address as if
it was a PMD.  If it happens to look like pmd_none then it'll
silently fail, probably returning zeros instead of real data. If
the data happens to look like a present PMD though, it will be
walked resulting in the oops above.

This patch adds the necessary pud_large() check.

Unfortunately the problem was not readily reproducible and now
they are running the backup program without accessing
/proc/kcore so the patch has not been validated but I think it
makes sense.

      mm: thp: fix pmd_present for split_huge_page and PROT_NONE with THP · 027ef6c8
      由 Andrea Arcangeli 提交于 
      In many places !pmd_present has been converted to pmd_none.  For pmds
that's equivalent and pmd_none is quicker so using pmd_none is better.

However (unless we delete pmd_present) we should provide an accurate
pmd_present too.  This will avoid the risk of code thinking the pmd is non
present because it's under __split_huge_page_map, see the pmd_mknotpresent
there and the comment above it.

If the page has been mprotected as PROT_NONE, it would also lead to a
pmd_present false negative in the same way as the race with
split_huge_page.

Because the PSE bit stays on at all times (both during split_huge_page and
when the _PAGE_PROTNONE bit get set), we could only check for the PSE bit,
but checking the PROTNONE bit too is still good to remember pmd_present
must always keep PROT_NONE into account.

This explains a not reproducible BUG_ON that was seldom reported on the
lists.

The same issue is in pmd_large, it would go wrong with both PROT_NONE and
if it races with split_huge_page.

      x86, mm: Avoid unnecessary TLB flush · 61c77326
      由 Shaohua Li 提交于 
      In x86, access and dirty bits are set automatically by CPU when CPU accesses
memory. When we go into the code path of below flush_tlb_fix_spurious_fault(),
we already set dirty bit for pte and don't need flush tlb. This might mean
tlb entry in some CPUs hasn't dirty bit set, but this doesn't matter. When
the CPUs do page write, they will automatically check the bit and no software
involved.

On the other hand, flush tlb in below position is harmful. Test creates CPU
number of threads, each thread writes to a same but random address in same vma
range and we measure the total time. Under a 4 socket system, original time is
1.96s, while with the patch, the time is 0.8s. Under a 2 socket system, there is
20% time cut too. perf shows a lot of time are taking to send ipi/handle ipi for
tlb flush.

      x86, pat: Allow ISA memory range uncacheable mapping requests · 1adcaafe
      由 Suresh Siddha 提交于 
      Max Vozeler reported:
>  Bug 13877 -  bogl-term broken with CONFIG_X86_PAT=y, works with =n
>
>  strace of bogl-term:
>  814   mmap2(NULL, 65536, PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE, MAP_SHARED, 4, 0)

PAT code maps the ISA memory range as WB in the PAT attribute, so that
fixed range MTRR registers define the actual memory type (UC/WC/WT etc).

But the upper level is_new_memtype_allowed() API checks are failing,
as the request here is for UC and the return tracked type is WB (Tracked type is
WB as MTRR type for this legacy range potentially will be different for each
4k page).

Fix is_new_memtype_allowed() by always succeeding the ISA address range
checks, as the null PAT (WB) and def MTRR fixed range register settings
satisfy the memory type needs of the applications that map the ISA address
range.

Update populate_extra_pte() to return pointer to the pte_t for the
specified address and add populate_extra_pmd() which only populates
till the pmd and returns pointer to the pmd entry for the address.

For 64bit, pud/pmd/pte fill functions are separated out from
set_pte_vaddr[_pud]() and used for set_pte_vaddr[_pud]() and
populate_extra_{pte|pmd}().
