      numa: fix /proc/<pid>/numa_maps for THP · 28093f9f
      Gerald Schaefer 提交于
      In gather_pte_stats() a THP pmd is cast into a pte, which is wrong
      because the layouts may differ depending on the architecture.  On s390
      this will lead to inaccurate numa_maps accounting in /proc because of
      misguided pte_present() and pte_dirty() checks on the fake pte.
      
      On other architectures pte_present() and pte_dirty() may work by chance,
      but there may be an issue with direct-access (dax) mappings w/o
      underlying struct pages when HAVE_PTE_SPECIAL is set and THP is
      available.  In vm_normal_page() the fake pte will be checked with
      pte_special() and because there is no "special" bit in a pmd, this will
      always return false and the VM_PFNMAP | VM_MIXEDMAP checking will be
      skipped.  On dax mappings w/o struct pages, an invalid struct page
      pointer would then be returned that can crash the kernel.
      
      This patch fixes the numa_maps THP handling by introducing new "_pmd"
      variants of the can_gather_numa_stats() and vm_normal_page() functions.

      mm, fs: get rid of PAGE_CACHE_* and page_cache_{get,release} macros · 09cbfeaf
      Kirill A. Shutemov 提交于
      PAGE_CACHE_{SIZE,SHIFT,MASK,ALIGN} macros were introduced *long* time
      ago with promise that one day it will be possible to implement page
      cache with bigger chunks than PAGE_SIZE.
      
      This promise never materialized.  And unlikely will.
      
      We have many places where PAGE_CACHE_SIZE assumed to be equal to
      PAGE_SIZE.  And it's constant source of confusion on whether
      PAGE_CACHE_* or PAGE_* constant should be used in a particular case,
      especially on the border between fs and mm.
      
      Global switching to PAGE_CACHE_SIZE != PAGE_SIZE would cause to much
      breakage to be doable.
      
      Let's stop pretending that pages in page cache are special.  They are
      not.
      
      The changes are pretty straight-forward:
      
       - <foo> << (PAGE_CACHE_SHIFT - PAGE_SHIFT) -> <foo>;
      
       - <foo> >> (PAGE_CACHE_SHIFT - PAGE_SHIFT) -> <foo>;
      
       - PAGE_CACHE_{SIZE,SHIFT,MASK,ALIGN} -> PAGE_{SIZE,SHIFT,MASK,ALIGN};
      
       - page_cache_get() -> get_page();
      
       - page_cache_release() -> put_page();
      
      This patch contains automated changes generated with coccinelle using
      script below.  For some reason, coccinelle doesn't patch header files.
      I've called spatch for them manually.
      
      The only adjustment after coccinelle is revert of changes to
      PAGE_CAHCE_ALIGN definition: we are going to drop it later.
      
      There are few places in the code where coccinelle didn't reach.  I'll
      fix them manually in a separate patch.  Comments and documentation also
      will be addressed with the separate patch.

      x86/mm/pkeys: Dump pkey from VMA in /proc/pid/smaps · c1192f84
      Dave Hansen 提交于
      The protection key can now be just as important as read/write
      permissions on a VMA.  We need some debug mechanism to help
      figure out if it is in play.  smaps seems like a logical
      place to expose it.
      
      arch/x86/kernel/setup.c is a bit of a weirdo place to put
      this code, but it already had seq_file.h and there was not
      a much better existing place to put it.
      
      We also use no #ifdef.  If protection keys is .config'd out we
      will effectively get the same function as if we used the weak
      generic function.

      proc: revert /proc/<pid>/maps [stack:TID] annotation · 65376df5
      Johannes Weiner 提交于
      Commit b7643757 ("procfs: mark thread stack correctly in
      proc/<pid>/maps") added [stack:TID] annotation to /proc/<pid>/maps.
      
      Finding the task of a stack VMA requires walking the entire thread list,
      turning this into quadratic behavior: a thousand threads means a
      thousand stacks, so the rendering of /proc/<pid>/maps needs to look at a
      million combinations.
      
      The cost is not in proportion to the usefulness as described in the
      patch.
      
      Drop the [stack:TID] annotation to make /proc/<pid>/maps (and
      /proc/<pid>/numa_maps) usable again for higher thread counts.
      
      The [stack] annotation inside /proc/<pid>/task/<tid>/maps is retained, as
      identifying the stack VMA there is an O(1) operation.
      
      Siddesh said:
       "The end users needed a way to identify thread stacks programmatically and
        there wasn't a way to do that.  I'm afraid I no longer remember (or have
        access to the resources that would aid my memory since I changed
        employers) the details of their requirement.  However, I did do this on my
        own time because I thought it was an interesting project for me and nobody
        really gave any feedback then as to its utility, so as far as I am
        concerned you could roll back the main thread maps information since the
        information is available in the thread-specific files"

      numa: fix /proc/<pid>/numa_maps for hugetlbfs on s390 · 5c2ff95e
      Michael Holzheu 提交于
      When working with hugetlbfs ptes (which are actually pmds) is not valid to
      directly use pte functions like pte_present() because the hardware bit
      layout of pmds and ptes can be different.  This is the case on s390.
      Therefore we have to convert the hugetlbfs ptes first into a valid pte
      encoding with huge_ptep_get().
      
      Currently the /proc/<pid>/numa_maps code uses hugetlbfs ptes without
      huge_ptep_get().  On s390 this leads to the following two problems:
      
      1) The pte_present() function returns false (instead of true) for
         PROT_NONE hugetlb ptes. Therefore PROT_NONE vmas are missing
         completely in the "numa_maps" output.
      
      2) The pte_dirty() function always returns false for all hugetlb ptes.
         Therefore these pages are reported as "mapped=xxx" instead of
         "dirty=xxx".
      
      Therefore use huge_ptep_get() to correctly convert the hugetlb ptes.

      mm: rework virtual memory accounting · 84638335
      Konstantin Khlebnikov 提交于
      When inspecting a vague code inside prctl(PR_SET_MM_MEM) call (which
      testing the RLIMIT_DATA value to figure out if we're allowed to assign
      new @start_brk, @brk, @start_data, @end_data from mm_struct) it's been
      commited that RLIMIT_DATA in a form it's implemented now doesn't do
      anything useful because most of user-space libraries use mmap() syscall
      for dynamic memory allocations.
      
      Linus suggested to convert RLIMIT_DATA rlimit into something suitable
      for anonymous memory accounting.  But in this patch we go further, and
      the changes are bundled together as:
      
       * keep vma counting if CONFIG_PROC_FS=n, will be used for limits
       * replace mm->shared_vm with better defined mm->data_vm
       * account anonymous executable areas as executable
       * account file-backed growsdown/up areas as stack
       * drop struct file* argument from vm_stat_account
       * enforce RLIMIT_DATA for size of data areas
      
      This way code looks cleaner: now code/stack/data classification depends
      only on vm_flags state:
      
       VM_EXEC & ~VM_WRITE            -> code  (VmExe + VmLib in proc)
       VM_GROWSUP | VM_GROWSDOWN      -> stack (VmStk)
       VM_WRITE & ~VM_SHARED & !stack -> data  (VmData)
      
      The rest (VmSize - VmData - VmStk - VmExe - VmLib) could be called
      "shared", but that might be strange beast like readonly-private or VM_IO
      area.
      
       - RLIMIT_AS            limits whole address space "VmSize"
       - RLIMIT_STACK         limits stack "VmStk" (but each vma individually)
       - RLIMIT_DATA          now limits "VmData"

      mm, procfs: breakdown RSS for anon, shmem and file in /proc/pid/status · 8cee852e
      Jerome Marchand 提交于
      There are several shortcomings with the accounting of shared memory
      (SysV shm, shared anonymous mapping, mapping of a tmpfs file).  The
      values in /proc/<pid>/status and <...>/statm don't allow to distinguish
      between shmem memory and a shared mapping to a regular file, even though
      theirs implication on memory usage are quite different: during reclaim,
      file mapping can be dropped or written back on disk, while shmem needs a
      place in swap.
      
      Also, to distinguish the memory occupied by anonymous and file mappings,
      one has to read the /proc/pid/statm file, which has a field for the file
      mappings (again, including shmem) and total memory occupied by these
      mappings (i.e.  equivalent to VmRSS in the <...>/status file.  Getting
      the value for anonymous mappings only is thus not exactly user-friendly
      (the statm file is intended to be rather efficiently machine-readable).
      
      To address both of these shortcomings, this patch adds a breakdown of
      VmRSS in /proc/<pid>/status via new fields RssAnon, RssFile and
      RssShmem, making use of the previous preparatory patch.  These fields
      tell the user the memory occupied by private anonymous pages, mapped
      regular files and shmem, respectively.  Other existing fields in /status
      and /statm files are left without change.  The /statm file can be
      extended in the future, if there's a need for that.
      
      Example (part of) /proc/pid/status output including the new Rss* fields:

      mm, shmem: add internal shmem resident memory accounting · eca56ff9
      Jerome Marchand 提交于
      Currently looking at /proc/<pid>/status or statm, there is no way to
      distinguish shmem pages from pages mapped to a regular file (shmem pages
      are mapped to /dev/zero), even though their implication in actual memory
      use is quite different.
      
      The internal accounting currently counts shmem pages together with
      regular files.  As a preparation to extend the userspace interfaces,
      this patch adds MM_SHMEMPAGES counter to mm_rss_stat to account for
      shmem pages separately from MM_FILEPAGES.  The next patch will expose it
      to userspace - this patch doesn't change the exported values yet, by
      adding up MM_SHMEMPAGES to MM_FILEPAGES at places where MM_FILEPAGES was
      used before.  The only user-visible change after this patch is the OOM
      killer message that separates the reported "shmem-rss" from "file-rss".

      mm, proc: reduce cost of /proc/pid/smaps for unpopulated shmem mappings · 48131e03
      Vlastimil Babka 提交于
      Following the previous patch, further reduction of /proc/pid/smaps cost
      is possible for private writable shmem mappings with unpopulated areas
      where the page walk invokes the .pte_hole function.  We can use radix
      tree iterator for each such area instead of calling find_get_entry() in
      a loop.  This is possible at the extra maintenance cost of introducing
      another shmem function shmem_partial_swap_usage().
      
      To demonstrate the diference, I have measured this on a process that
      creates a private writable 2GB mapping of a partially swapped out
      /dev/shm/file (which cannot employ the optimizations from the prvious
      patch) and doesn't populate it at all.  I time how long does it take to
      cat /proc/pid/smaps of this process 100 times.

      mm, proc: reduce cost of /proc/pid/smaps for shmem mappings · 6a15a370
      Vlastimil Babka 提交于
      The previous patch has improved swap accounting for shmem mapping, which
      however made /proc/pid/smaps more expensive for shmem mappings, as we
      consult the radix tree for each pte_none entry, so the overal complexity
      is O(n*log(n)).
      
      We can reduce this significantly for mappings that cannot contain COWed
      pages, because then we can either use the statistics tha shmem object
      itself tracks (if the mapping contains the whole object, or the swap
      usage of the whole object is zero), or use the radix tree iterator,
      which is much more effective than repeated find_get_entry() calls.
      
      This patch therefore introduces a function shmem_swap_usage(vma) and
      makes /proc/pid/smaps use it when possible.  Only for writable private
      mappings of shmem objects (i.e.  tmpfs files) with the shmem object
      itself (partially) swapped outwe have to resort to the find_get_entry()
      approach.
      
      Hopefully such mappings are relatively uncommon.
      
      To demonstrate the diference, I have measured this on a process that
      creates a 2GB mapping and dirties single pages with a stride of 2MB, and
      time how long does it take to cat /proc/pid/smaps of this process 100
      times.
      
      Private writable mapping of a /dev/shm/file (the most complex case):
      
      real    0m3.831s
      user    0m0.180s
      sys     0m3.212s
      
      Shared mapping of an almost full mapping of a partially swapped /dev/shm/file
      (which needs to employ the radix tree iterator).
      
      real    0m1.351s
      user    0m0.096s
      sys     0m0.768s
      
      Same, but with /dev/shm/file not swapped (so no radix tree walk needed)
      
      real    0m0.935s
      user    0m0.128s
      sys     0m0.344s
      
      Private anonymous mapping:
      
      real    0m0.949s
      user    0m0.116s
      sys     0m0.348s
      
      The cost is now much closer to the private anonymous mapping case, unless
      the shmem mapping is private and writable.

      mm, proc: account for shmem swap in /proc/pid/smaps · c261e7d9
      Vlastimil Babka 提交于
      Currently, /proc/pid/smaps will always show "Swap: 0 kB" for
      shmem-backed mappings, even if the mapped portion does contain pages
      that were swapped out.  This is because unlike private anonymous
      mappings, shmem does not change pte to swap entry, but pte_none when
      swapping the page out.  In the smaps page walk, such page thus looks
      like it was never faulted in.
      
      This patch changes smaps_pte_entry() to determine the swap status for
      such pte_none entries for shmem mappings, similarly to how
      mincore_page() does it.  Swapped out shmem pages are thus accounted for.
      For private mappings of tmpfs files that COWed some of the pages, swaped
      out status of the original shmem pages is naturally ignored.  If some of
      the private copies was also swapped out, they are accounted via their
      page table swap entries, so the resulting reported swap usage is then a
      sum of both swapped out private copies, and swapped out shmem pages that
      were not COWed.  No double accounting can thus happen.
      
      The accounting is arguably still not as precise as for private anonymous
      mappings, since now we will count also pages that the process in
      question never accessed, but another process populated them and then let
      them become swapped out.  I believe it is still less confusing and
      subtle than not showing any swap usage by shmem mappings at all.
      Swapped out counter might of interest of users who would like to prevent
      from future swapins during performance critical operation and pre-fault
      them at their convenience.  Especially for larger swapped out regions
      the cost of swapin is much higher than a fresh page allocation.  So a
      differentiation between pte_none vs.  swapped out is important for those
      usecases.
      
      One downside of this patch is that it makes /proc/pid/smaps more
      expensive for shmem mappings, as we consult the radix tree for each
      pte_none entry, so the overal complexity is O(n*log(n)).  I have
      measured this on a process that creates a 2GB mapping and dirties single
      pages with a stride of 2MB, and time how long does it take to cat
      /proc/pid/smaps of this process 100 times.
      
      Private anonymous mapping:
      
      real    0m0.949s
      user    0m0.116s
      sys     0m0.348s
      
      Mapping of a /dev/shm/file:
      
      real    0m3.831s
      user    0m0.180s
      sys     0m3.212s
      
      The difference is rather substantial, so the next patch will reduce the
      cost for shared or read-only mappings.
      
      In a less controlled experiment, I've gathered pids of processes on my
      desktop that have either '/dev/shm/*' or 'SYSV*' in smaps.  This
      included the Chrome browser and some KDE processes.  Again, I've run cat
      /proc/pid/smaps on each 100 times.
      
      Before this patch:
      
      real    0m9.050s
      user    0m0.518s
      sys     0m8.066s
      
      After this patch:
      
      real    0m9.221s
      user    0m0.541s
      sys     0m8.187s
      
      This suggests low impact on average systems.
      
      Note that this patch doesn't attempt to adjust the SwapPss field for
      shmem mappings, which would need extra work to determine who else could
      have the pages mapped.  Thus the value stays zero except for COWed
      swapped out pages in a shmem mapping, which are accounted as usual.

      mm: introduce idle page tracking · 33c3fc71
      Vladimir Davydov 提交于
      Knowing the portion of memory that is not used by a certain application or
      memory cgroup (idle memory) can be useful for partitioning the system
      efficiently, e.g.  by setting memory cgroup limits appropriately.
      Currently, the only means to estimate the amount of idle memory provided
      by the kernel is /proc/PID/{clear_refs,smaps}: the user can clear the
      access bit for all pages mapped to a particular process by writing 1 to
      clear_refs, wait for some time, and then count smaps:Referenced.  However,
      this method has two serious shortcomings:
      
       - it does not count unmapped file pages
       - it affects the reclaimer logic
      
      To overcome these drawbacks, this patch introduces two new page flags,
      Idle and Young, and a new sysfs file, /sys/kernel/mm/page_idle/bitmap.
      A page's Idle flag can only be set from userspace by setting bit in
      /sys/kernel/mm/page_idle/bitmap at the offset corresponding to the page,
      and it is cleared whenever the page is accessed either through page tables
      (it is cleared in page_referenced() in this case) or using the read(2)
      system call (mark_page_accessed()). Thus by setting the Idle flag for
      pages of a particular workload, which can be found e.g.  by reading
      /proc/PID/pagemap, waiting for some time to let the workload access its
      working set, and then reading the bitmap file, one can estimate the amount
      of pages that are not used by the workload.
      
      The Young page flag is used to avoid interference with the memory
      reclaimer.  A page's Young flag is set whenever the Access bit of a page
      table entry pointing to the page is cleared by writing to the bitmap file.
      If page_referenced() is called on a Young page, it will add 1 to its
      return value, therefore concealing the fact that the Access bit was
      cleared.
      
      Note, since there is no room for extra page flags on 32 bit, this feature
      uses extended page flags when compiled on 32 bit.
