5520e894 ("brk: fix min_brk lower bound computation for COMPAT_BRK") tried to get the whole logic of brk randomization for legacy (libc5-based) applications finally right. It turns out that the way to detect whether brk has actually been randomized in the end or not introduced by that patch still doesn't work for those binaries, as reported by Geert: : /sbin/init from my old m68k ramdisk exists prematurely. : : Before the patch: : : | brk(0x80005c8e) = 0x80006000 : : After the patch: : : | brk(0x80005c8e) = 0x80005c8e : : Old libc5 considers brk() to have failed if the return value is not : identical to the requested value. I don't like it, but currently see no better option than a bit flag in task_struct to catch the CONFIG_COMPAT_BRK && randomize_va_space == 2 case.

Even if CONFIG_COMPAT_BRK is set in the kernel configuration, it can still be overriden by randomize_va_space sysctl. If this is the case, the min_brk computation in sys_brk() implementation is wrong, as it solely takes into account COMPAT_BRK setting, assuming that brk start is not randomized. But that might not be the case if randomize_va_space sysctl has been set to '2' at the time the binary has been loaded from disk. In such case, the check has to be done in a same way as in !CONFIG_COMPAT_BRK case. In addition to that, the check for the COMPAT_BRK case introduced back in a5b4592c ("brk: make sys_brk() honor COMPAT_BRK when computing lower bound") is slightly wrong -- the lower bound shouldn't be mm->end_code, but mm->end_data instead, as that's where the legacy applications expect brk section to start (i.e. immediately after last global variable).

An huge pmd can only be mapped if the corresponding 2M virtual range is fully contained in the vma. At times the VM calls split_vma twice, if the first split_vma succeeds and the second fail, the first split_vma remains in effect and it's not rolled back. For split_vma or vma_adjust to fail an allocation failure is needed so it's a very unlikely event (the out of memory killer would normally fire before any allocation failure is visible to kernel and userland and if an out of memory condition happens it's unlikely to happen exactly here). Nevertheless it's safer to ensure that no huge pmd can be left around if the vma is adjusted in a way that can't fit hugepages anymore at the new vm_start/vm_end address.

The install_special_mapping routine (used, for example, to setup the vdso) skips the security check before insert_vm_struct, allowing a local attacker to bypass the mmap_min_addr security restriction by limiting the available pages for special mappings. bprm_mm_init() also skips the check, and although I don't think this can be used to bypass any restrictions, I don't see any reason not to have the security check. $ uname -m x86_64 $ cat /proc/sys/vm/mmap_min_addr 65536 $ cat install_special_mapping.s section .bss resb BSS_SIZE section .text global _start _start: mov eax, __NR_pause int 0x80 $ nasm -D__NR_pause=29 -DBSS_SIZE=0xfffed000 -f elf -o install_special_mapping.o install_special_mapping.s $ ld -m elf_i386 -Ttext=0x10000 -Tbss=0x11000 -o install_special_mapping install_special_mapping.o $ ./install_special_mapping & [1] 14303 $ cat /proc/14303/maps 0000f000-00010000 r-xp 00000000 00:00 0 [vdso] 00010000-00011000 r-xp 00001000 00:19 2453665 /home/taviso/install_special_mapping 00011000-ffffe000 rwxp 00000000 00:00 0 [stack] It's worth noting that Red Hat are shipping with mmap_min_addr set to 4096.

Always (and only) lock the root (oldest) anon_vma whenever we do something in an anon_vma. The recently introduced anon_vma scalability is due to the rmap code scanning only the VMAs that need to be scanned. Many common operations still took the anon_vma lock on the root anon_vma, so always taking that lock is not expected to introduce any scalability issues. However, always taking the same lock does mean we only need to take one lock, which means rmap_walk on pages from any anon_vma in the vma is excluded from occurring during an munmap, expand_stack or other operation that needs to exclude rmap_walk and similar functions. Also add the proper locking to vma_adjust.

This changes the anon_vma reuse case to require that we only reuse simple anon_vma's - ie the case when the vma only has a single anon_vma associated with it. This means that a reuse of an anon_vma from an adjacent vma will always guarantee that both vma's are associated not only with the same anon_vma, they will also have the same anon_vma chain (of just a single entry in this case). And since anon_vma re-use was the only case where the same anon_vma might be associated with different chains of anon_vma's, we now have the case that every vma that shares the same anon_vma will always also have the same chain. That makes it much easier to think about merging vma's that share the same anon_vma's: you can always just drop the other anon_vma chain in anon_vma_merge() since you know that they are always identical. This also splits up the function to validate the anon_vma re-use, and adds a lot of commentary about the possible races.

When a VMA is in an inconsistent state during setup or teardown, the worst that can happen is that the rmap code will not be able to find the page. The mapping is in the process of being torn down (PTEs just got invalidated by munmap), or set up (no PTEs have been instantiated yet). It is also impossible for the rmap code to follow a pointer to an already freed VMA, because the rmap code holds the anon_vma->lock, which the VMA teardown code needs to take before the VMA is removed from the anon_vma chain. Hence, we should not need the VM_LOCK_RMAP locking at all.

由 Rik van Riel 提交于
The old anon_vma code can lead to scalability issues with heavily forking workloads. Specifically, each anon_vma will be shared between the parent process and all its child processes. In a workload with 1000 child processes and a VMA with 1000 anonymous pages per process that get COWed, this leads to a system with a million anonymous pages in the same anon_vma, each of which is mapped in just one of the 1000 processes. However, the current rmap code needs to walk them all, leading to O(N) scanning complexity for each page. This can result in systems where one CPU is walking the page tables of 1000 processes in page_referenced_one, while all other CPUs are stuck on the anon_vma lock. This leads to catastrophic failure for a benchmark like AIM7, where the total number of processes can reach in the tens of thousands. Real workloads are still a factor 10 less process intensive than AIM7, but they are catching up. This patch changes the way anon_vmas and VMAs are linked, which allows us to associate multiple anon_vmas with a VMA. At fork time, each child process gets its own anon_vmas, in which its COWed pages will be instantiated. The parents' anon_vma is also linked to the VMA, because non-COWed pages could be present in any of the children. This reduces rmap scanning complexity to O(1) for the pages of the 1000 child processes, with O(N) complexity for at most 1/N pages in the system. This reduces the average scanning cost in heavily forking workloads from O(N) to 2. The only real complexity in this patch stems from the fact that linking a VMA to anon_vmas now involves memory allocations. This means vma_adjust can fail, if it needs to attach a VMA to anon_vma structures. This in turn means error handling needs to be added to the calling functions. A second source of complexity is that, because there can be multiple anon_vmas, the anon_vma linking in vma_adjust can no longer be done under "the" anon_vma lock. To prevent the rmap code from walking up an incomplete VMA, this patch introduces the VM_LOCK_RMAP VMA flag. This bit flag uses the same slot as the NOMMU VM_MAPPED_COPY, with an ifdef in mm.h to make sure it is impossible to compile a kernel that needs both symbolic values for the same bitflag. Some test results: Without the anon_vma changes, when AIM7 hits around 9.7k users (on a test box with 16GB RAM and not quite enough IO), the system ends up running >99% in system time, with every CPU on the same anon_vma lock in the pageout code. With these changes, AIM7 hits the cross-over point around 29.7k users. This happens with ~99% IO wait time, there never seems to be any spike in system time. The anon_vma lock contention appears to be resolved.

Add a flag for mmap that will be used to request a huge page region that will look like anonymous memory to userspace. This is accomplished by using a file on the internal vfsmount. MAP_HUGETLB is a modifier of MAP_ANONYMOUS and so must be specified with it. The region will behave the same as a MAP_ANONYMOUS region using small pages.

shmem_zero_setup() does not change vm_start, pgoff or vm_flags, only some drivers change them (such as /driver/video/bfin-t350mcqb-fb.c). Move these codes to a more proper place to save cycles for shared anonymous mapping.

We noticed very erratic behavior [throughput] with the AIM7 shared workload running on recent distro [SLES11] and mainline kernels on an 8-socket, 32-core, 256GB x86_64 platform. On the SLES11 kernel [2.6.27.19+] with Barcelona processors, as we increased the load [10s of thousands of tasks], the throughput would vary between two "plateaus"--one at ~65K jobs per minute and one at ~130K jpm. The simple patch below causes the results to smooth out at the ~130k plateau. But wait, there's more: We do not see this behavior on smaller platforms--e.g., 4 socket/8 core. This could be the result of the larger number of cpus on the larger platform--a scalability issue--or it could be the result of the larger number of interconnect "hops" between some nodes in this platform and how the tasks for a given load end up distributed over the nodes' cpus and memories--a stochastic NUMA effect. The variability in the results are less pronounced [on the same platform] with Shanghai processors and with mainline kernels. With 31-rc6 on Shanghai processors and 288 file systems on 288 fibre attached storage volumes, the curves [jpm vs load] are both quite flat with the patched kernel consistently producing ~3.9% better throughput [~80K jpm vs ~77K jpm] than the unpatched kernel. Profiling indicated that the "slow" runs were incurring high[er] contention on an anon_vma lock in vma_adjust(), apparently called from the sbrk() system call. The patch: A comment in mm/mmap.c:vma_adjust() suggests that we don't really need the anon_vma lock when we're only adjusting the end of a vma, as is the case for brk(). The comment questions whether it's worth while to optimize for this case. Apparently, on the newer, larger x86_64 platforms, with interesting NUMA topologies, it is worth while--especially considering that the patch [if correct!] is quite simple. We can detect this condition--no overlap with next vma--by noting a NULL "importer". The anon_vma pointer will also be NULL in this case, so simply avoid loading vma->anon_vma to avoid the lock. However, we DO need to take the anon_vma lock when we're inserting a vma ['insert' non-NULL] even when we have no overlap [NULL "importer"], so we need to check for 'insert', as well. And Hugh points out that we should also take it when adjusting vm_start (so that rmap.c can rely upon vma_address() while it holds the anon_vma lock). akpm: Zhang Yanmin reprts a 150% throughput improvement with aim7, so it might be -stable material even though thiss isn't a regression: "this issue is not clear on dual socket Nehalem machine (2*4*2 cpu), but is severe on large machine (4*8*2 cpu)" [hugh.dickins@tiscali.co.uk: test vma start too] Signed-off-by: NLee Schermerhorn <lee.schermerhorn@hp.com> Signed-off-by: NHugh Dickins <hugh.dickins@tiscali.co.uk> Cc: Nick Piggin <npiggin@suse.de> Cc: Eric Whitney <eric.whitney@hp.com> Tested-by: N"Zhang, Yanmin" <yanmin_zhang@linux.intel.com> Cc: <stable@kernel.org> Signed-off-by: NAndrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: NLinus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

A few cleanups, given the munlock fix: the comment on ksm_test_exit() no longer applies, and it can be made private to ksm.c; there's no more reference to mmu_gather or tlb.h, and mmap.c doesn't need ksm.h.

KSM originally stood for Kernel Shared Memory: but the kernel has long supported shared memory, and VM_SHARED and VM_MAYSHARE vmas, and KSM is something else. So we switched to saying "merge" instead of "share". But Chris Wright points out that this is confusing where mmap.c merges adjacent vmas: most especially in the name VM_MERGEABLE_FLAGS, used by is_mergeable_vma() to let vmas be merged despite flags being different. Call it VMA_MERGE_DESPITE_FLAGS? Perhaps, but at present it consists only of VM_CAN_NONLINEAR: so for now it's clearer on all sides to use that directly, with a comment on it in is_mergeable_vma().
