      walk system ram range · 908eedc6
      KAMEZAWA Hiroyuki 提交于
      Originally, walk_memory_resource() was introduced to traverse all memory
      of "System RAM" for detecting memory hotplug/unplug range.  For doing so,
      flags of IORESOUCE_MEM|IORESOURCE_BUSY was used and this was enough for
      memory hotplug.
      
      But for using other purpose, /proc/kcore, this may includes some firmware
      area marked as IORESOURCE_BUSY | IORESOUCE_MEM.  This patch makes the
      check strict to find out busy "System RAM".
      
      Note: PPC64 keeps their own walk_memory_resouce(), which walk through
      ppc64's lmb informaton.  Because old kclist_add() is called per lmb, this
      patch makes no difference in behavior, finally.
      
      And this patch removes CONFIG_MEMORY_HOTPLUG check from this function.
      Because pfn_valid() just show "there is memmap or not* and cannot be used
      for "there is physical memory or not", this function is useful in generic
      to scan physical memory range.

      procfs: provide stack information for threads · d899bf7b
      Stefani Seibold 提交于
      A patch to give a better overview of the userland application stack usage,
      especially for embedded linux.
      
      Currently you are only able to dump the main process/thread stack usage
      which is showed in /proc/pid/status by the "VmStk" Value.  But you get no
      information about the consumed stack memory of the the threads.
      
      There is an enhancement in the /proc/<pid>/{task/*,}/*maps and which marks
      the vm mapping where the thread stack pointer reside with "[thread stack
      xxxxxxxx]".  xxxxxxxx is the maximum size of stack.  This is a value
      information, because libpthread doesn't set the start of the stack to the
      top of the mapped area, depending of the pthread usage.
      
      A sample output of /proc/<pid>/task/<tid>/maps looks like:

      ffffe000-fffff000 r-xp 00000000 00:00 0          [vdso]
      
      Also there is a new entry "stack usage" in /proc/<pid>/{task/*,}/status
      which will you give the current stack usage in kb.
      
      A sample output of /proc/self/status looks like:
      
      Name:	cat
      State:	R (running)
      Tgid:	507
      Pid:	507
      .
      .
      .
      CapBnd:	fffffffffffffeff
      voluntary_ctxt_switches:	0
      nonvoluntary_ctxt_switches:	0
      Stack usage:	12 kB
      
      I also fixed stack base address in /proc/<pid>/{task/*,}/stat to the base
      address of the associated thread stack and not the one of the main
      process.  This makes more sense.

      getrusage: fill ru_maxrss value · 1f10206c
      Jiri Pirko 提交于
      Make ->ru_maxrss value in struct rusage filled accordingly to rss hiwater
      mark.  This struct is filled as a parameter to getrusage syscall.
      ->ru_maxrss value is set to KBs which is the way it is done in BSD
      systems.  /usr/bin/time (gnu time) application converts ->ru_maxrss to KBs
      which seems to be incorrect behavior.  Maintainer of this util was
      notified by me with the patch which corrects it and cc'ed.
      
      To make this happen we extend struct signal_struct by two fields.  The
      first one is ->maxrss which we use to store rss hiwater of the task.  The
      second one is ->cmaxrss which we use to store highest rss hiwater of all
      task childs.  These values are used in k_getrusage() to actually fill
      ->ru_maxrss.  k_getrusage() uses current rss hiwater value directly if mm
      struct exists.
      
      Note:
      exec() clear mm->hiwater_rss, but doesn't clear sig->maxrss.
      it is intetionally behavior. *BSD getrusage have exec() inheriting.

      proc connector: add event for process becoming session leader · 02b51df1
      Scott James Remnant 提交于
      The act of a process becoming a session leader is a useful signal to a
      supervising init daemon such as Upstart.
      
      While a daemon will normally do this as part of the process of becoming a
      daemon, it is rare for its children to do so.  When the children do, it is
      nearly always a sign that the child should be considered detached from the
      parent and not supervised along with it.
      
      The poster-child example is OpenSSH; the per-login children call setsid()
      so that they may control the pty connected to them.  If the primary daemon
      dies or is restarted, we do not want to consider the per-login children
      and want to respawn the primary daemon without killing the children.
      
      This patch adds a new PROC_SID_EVENT and associated structure to the
      proc_event event_data union, it arranges for this to be emitted when the
      special PIDTYPE_SID pid is set.

      generic-ipi: make struct call_function_data lockless · 54fdade1
      Xiao Guangrong 提交于
      This patch can remove spinlock from struct call_function_data, the
      reasons are below:
      
      1: add a new interface for cpumask named cpumask_test_and_clear_cpu(),
         it can atomically test and clear specific cpu, we can use it instead
         of cpumask_test_cpu() and cpumask_clear_cpu() and no need data->lock
         to protect those in generic_smp_call_function_interrupt().
      
      2: in smp_call_function_many(), after csd_lock() return, the current's
         cfd_data is deleted from call_function list, so it not have race
         between other cpus, then cfs_data is only used in
         smp_call_function_many() that must disable preemption and not from
         a hardware interrupthandler or from a bottom half handler to call,
         only the correspond cpu can use it, so it not have race in current
         cpu, no need cfs_data->lock to protect it.
      
      3: after 1 and 2, cfs_data->lock is only use to protect cfs_data->refs in
         generic_smp_call_function_interrupt(), so we can define cfs_data->refs
         to atomic_t, and no need cfs_data->lock any more.

      kmod: fix race in usermodehelper code · c02e3f36
      Neil Horman 提交于
      The user mode helper code has a race in it.  call_usermodehelper_exec()
      takes an allocated subprocess_info structure, which it passes to a
      workqueue, and then passes it to a kernel thread which it creates, after
      which it calls complete to signal to the caller of
      call_usermodehelper_exec() that it can free the subprocess_info struct.
      
      But since we use that structure in the created thread, we can't call
      complete from __call_usermodehelper(), which is where we create the kernel
      thread.  We need to call complete() from within the kernel thread and then
      not use subprocess_info afterward in the case of UMH_WAIT_EXEC.  Tested
      successfully by me.

      cpuidle: fix the menu governor to boost IO performance · 69d25870
      Arjan van de Ven 提交于
      Fix the menu idle governor which balances power savings, energy efficiency
      and performance impact.
      
      The reason for a reworked governor is that there have been serious
      performance issues reported with the existing code on Nehalem server
      systems.
      
      To show this I'm sure Andrew wants to see benchmark results:
      (benchmark is "fio", "no cstates" is using "idle=poll")
      
      		no cstates	current linux	new algorithm
      1 disk		107 Mb/s	85 Mb/s		105 Mb/s
      2 disks		215 Mb/s	123 Mb/s	209 Mb/s
      12 disks	590 Mb/s	320 Mb/s	585 Mb/s
      
      In various power benchmark measurements, no degredation was found by our
      measurement&diagnostics team.  Obviously a small percentage more power was
      used in the "fio" benchmark, due to the much higher performance.
      
      While it would be a novel idea to describe the new algorithm in this
      commit message, I cheaped out and described it in comments in the code
      instead.

      oom: move oom_adj value from task_struct to signal_struct · 28b83c51
      KOSAKI Motohiro 提交于
      Currently, OOM logic callflow is here.
      
          __out_of_memory()
              select_bad_process()            for each task
                  badness()                   calculate badness of one task
                      oom_kill_process()      search child
                          oom_kill_task()     kill target task and mm shared tasks with it
      
      example, process-A have two thread, thread-A and thread-B and it have very
      fat memory and each thread have following oom_adj and oom_score.
      
           thread-A: oom_adj = OOM_DISABLE, oom_score = 0
           thread-B: oom_adj = 0,           oom_score = very-high
      
      Then, select_bad_process() select thread-B, but oom_kill_task() refuse
      kill the task because thread-A have OOM_DISABLE.  Thus __out_of_memory()
      call select_bad_process() again.  but select_bad_process() select the same
      task.  It mean kernel fall in livelock.
      
      The fact is, select_bad_process() must select killable task.  otherwise
      OOM logic go into livelock.
      
      And root cause is, oom_adj shouldn't be per-thread value.  it should be
      per-process value because OOM-killer kill a process, not thread.  Thus
      This patch moves oomkilladj (now more appropriately named oom_adj) from
      struct task_struct to struct signal_struct.  it naturally prevent
      select_bad_process() choose wrong task.

      mm: don't use alloc_bootmem_low() where not strictly needed · 3c1596ef
      Jan Beulich 提交于
      Since alloc_bootmem() will never return inaccessible (via virtual
      addressing) memory anyway, using the ..._low() variant only makes sense
      when the physical address range of the allocated memory must fulfill
      further constraints, espacially since on 64-bits (or more generally in all
      cases where the pools the two variants allocate from are than the full
      available range.
      
      Probably the use in alloc_tce_table() could also be eliminated (based on
      code inspection of pci-calgary_64.c), but that seems too risky given I
      know nothing about that hardware and have no way to test it.

      ksm: fix deadlock with munlock in exit_mmap · 1c2fb7a4
      Andrea Arcangeli 提交于
      Rawhide users have reported hang at startup when cryptsetup is run: the
      same problem can be simply reproduced by running a program int main() {
      mlockall(MCL_CURRENT | MCL_FUTURE); return 0; }
      
      The problem is that exit_mmap() applies munlock_vma_pages_all() to
      clean up VM_LOCKED areas, and its current implementation (stupidly)
      tries to fault in absent pages, for example where PROT_NONE prevented
      them being faulted in when mlocking.  Whereas the "ksm: fix oom
      deadlock" patch, knowing there's a race by which KSM might try to fault
      in pages after exit_mmap() had finally zapped the range, backs out of
      such faults doing nothing when its ksm_test_exit() notices mm_users 0.
      
      So revert that part of "ksm: fix oom deadlock" which moved the
      ksm_exit() call from before exit_mmap() to the middle of exit_mmap();
      and remove those ksm_test_exit() checks from the page fault paths, so
      allowing the munlocking to proceed without interference.
      
      ksm_exit, if there are rmap_items still chained on this mm slot, takes
      mmap_sem write side: so preventing KSM from working on an mm while
      exit_mmap runs.  And KSM will bail out as soon as it notices that
      mm_users is already zero, thanks to its internal ksm_test_exit checks.
      So that when a task is killed by OOM killer or the user, KSM will not
      indefinitely prevent it from running exit_mmap to release its memory.
      
      This does break a part of what "ksm: fix oom deadlock" was trying to
      achieve.  When unmerging KSM (echo 2 >/sys/kernel/mm/ksm), and even
      when ksmd itself has to cancel a KSM page, it is possible that the
      first OOM-kill victim would be the KSM process being faulted: then its
      memory won't be freed until a second victim has been selected (freeing
      memory for the unmerging fault to complete).
      
      But the OOM killer is already liable to kill a second victim once the
      intended victim's p->mm goes to NULL: so there's not much point in
      rejecting this KSM patch before fixing that OOM behaviour.  It is very
      much more important to allow KSM users to boot up, than to haggle over
      an unlikely and poorly supported OOM case.
      
      We also intend to fix munlocking to not fault pages: at which point
      this patch _could_ be reverted; though that would be controversial, so
      we hope to find a better solution.

      ksm: fix oom deadlock · 9ba69294
      Hugh Dickins 提交于
      There's a now-obvious deadlock in KSM's out-of-memory handling:
      imagine ksmd or KSM_RUN_UNMERGE handling, holding ksm_thread_mutex,
      trying to allocate a page to break KSM in an mm which becomes the
      OOM victim (quite likely in the unmerge case): it's killed and goes
      to exit, and hangs there waiting to acquire ksm_thread_mutex.
      
      Clearly we must not require ksm_thread_mutex in __ksm_exit, simple
      though that made everything else: perhaps use mmap_sem somehow?
      And part of the answer lies in the comments on unmerge_ksm_pages:
      __ksm_exit should also leave all the rmap_item removal to ksmd.
      
      But there's a fundamental problem, that KSM relies upon mmap_sem to
      guarantee the consistency of the mm it's dealing with, yet exit_mmap
      tears down an mm without taking mmap_sem.  And bumping mm_users won't
      help at all, that just ensures that the pages the OOM killer assumes
      are on their way to being freed will not be freed.
      
      The best answer seems to be, to move the ksm_exit callout from just
      before exit_mmap, to the middle of exit_mmap: after the mm's pages
      have been freed (if the mmu_gather is flushed), but before its page
      tables and vma structures have been freed; and down_write,up_write
      mmap_sem there to serialize with KSM's own reliance on mmap_sem.
      
      But KSM then needs to be careful, whenever it downs mmap_sem, to
      check that the mm is not already exiting: there's a danger of using
      find_vma on a layout that's being torn apart, or writing into page
      tables which have been freed for reuse; and even do_anonymous_page
      and __do_fault need to check they're not being called by break_ksm
      to reinstate a pte after zap_pte_range has zapped that page table.
      
      Though it might be clearer to add an exiting flag, set while holding
      mmap_sem in __ksm_exit, that wouldn't cover the issue of reinstating
      a zapped pte.  All we need is to check whether mm_users is 0 - but
      must remember that ksmd may detect that before __ksm_exit is reached.
      So, ksm_test_exit(mm) added to comment such checks on mm->mm_users.
      
      __ksm_exit now has to leave clearing up the rmap_items to ksmd,
      that needs ksm_thread_mutex; but shift the exiting mm just after the
      ksm_scan cursor so that it will soon be dealt with.  __ksm_enter raise
      mm_count to hold the mm_struct, ksmd's exit processing (exactly like
      its processing when it finds all VM_MERGEABLEs unmapped) mmdrop it,
      similar procedure for KSM_RUN_UNMERGE (which has stopped ksmd).
      
      But also give __ksm_exit a fast path: when there's no complication
      (no rmap_items attached to mm and it's not at the ksm_scan cursor),
      it can safely do all the exiting work itself.  This is not just an
      optimization: when ksmd is not running, the raised mm_count would
      otherwise leak mm_structs.

      ksm: the mm interface to ksm · f8af4da3
      Hugh Dickins 提交于
      This patch presents the mm interface to a dummy version of ksm.c, for
      better scrutiny of that interface: the real ksm.c follows later.
      
      When CONFIG_KSM is not set, madvise(2) reject MADV_MERGEABLE and
      MADV_UNMERGEABLE with EINVAL, since that seems more helpful than
      pretending that they can be serviced.  But when CONFIG_KSM=y, accept them
      even if KSM is not currently running, and even on areas which KSM will not
      touch (e.g.  hugetlb or shared file or special driver mappings).
      
      Like other madvices, report ENOMEM despite success if any area in the
      range is unmapped, and use EAGAIN to report out of memory.
      
      Define vma flag VM_MERGEABLE to identify an area on which KSM may try
      merging pages: leave it to ksm_madvise() to decide whether to set it.
      Define mm flag MMF_VM_MERGEABLE to identify an mm which might contain
      VM_MERGEABLE areas, to minimize callouts when forking or exiting.
      
      Based upon earlier patches by Chris Wright and Izik Eidus.

      mm: oom analysis: Show kernel stack usage in /proc/meminfo and OOM log output · c6a7f572
      KOSAKI Motohiro 提交于
      The amount of memory allocated to kernel stacks can become significant and
      cause OOM conditions.  However, we do not display the amount of memory
      consumed by stacks.
      
      Add code to display the amount of memory used for stacks in /proc/meminfo.
