2020-04-02asm-generic: make more kernel-space headers mandatoryMasahiro Yamada1-18/+0
Change a header to mandatory-y if both of the following are met: [1] At least one architecture (except um) specifies it as generic-y in arch/*/include/asm/Kbuild [2] Every architecture (except um) either has its own implementation (arch/*/include/asm/*.h) or specifies it as generic-y in arch/*/include/asm/Kbuild This commit was generated by the following shell script. ----------------------------------->8----------------------------------- arches=$(cd arch; ls -1 | sed -e '/Kconfig/d' -e '/um/d') tmpfile=$(mktemp) grep "^mandatory-y +=" include/asm-generic/Kbuild > $tmpfile find arch -path 'arch/*/include/asm/Kbuild' | xargs sed -n 's/^generic-y += \(.*\)/\1/p' | sort -u | while read header do mandatory=yes for arch in $arches do if ! grep -q "generic-y += $header" arch/$arch/include/asm/Kbuild && ! [ -f arch/$arch/include/asm/$header ]; then mandatory=no break fi done if [ "$mandatory" = yes ]; then echo "mandatory-y += $header" >> $tmpfile for arch in $arches do sed -i "/generic-y += $header/d" arch/$arch/include/asm/Kbuild done fi done sed -i '/^mandatory-y +=/d' include/asm-generic/Kbuild LANG=C sort $tmpfile >> include/asm-generic/Kbuild ----------------------------------->8----------------------------------- One obvious benefit is the diff stat: 25 files changed, 52 insertions(+), 557 deletions(-) It is tedious to list generic-y for each arch that needs it. So, mandatory-y works like a fallback default (by just wrapping asm-generic one) when arch does not have a specific header implementation. See the following commits: def3f7cefe4e81c296090e1722a76551142c227c a1b39bae16a62ce4aae02d958224f19316d98b24 It is tedious to convert headers one by one, so I processed by a shell script.

Move access_ok() in and pagefault_enable()/pagefault_disable() out.

2019-11-15y2038: ipc: remove __kernel_time_t reference from headersArnd Bergmann3-8/+8
There are two structures based on time_t that conflict between libc and kernel: timeval and timespec. Both are now renamed to __kernel_old_timeval and __kernel_old_timespec. For time_t, the old typedef is still __kernel_time_t. There is nothing wrong with that name, but it would be nice to not use that going forward as this type is used almost only in deprecated interfaces because of the y2038 overflow. In the IPC headers (msgbuf.h, sembuf.h, shmbuf.h), __kernel_time_t is only used for the 64-bit variants, which are not deprecated. Change these to a plain 'long', which is the same type as __kernel_time_t on all 64-bit architectures anyway, to reduce the number of users of the old type.

2019-09-25mm: introduce MADV_PAGEOUTMinchan Kim1-0/+1
When a process expects no accesses to a certain memory range for a long time, it could hint kernel that the pages can be reclaimed instantly but data should be preserved for future use. This could reduce workingset eviction so it ends up increasing performance. This patch introduces the new MADV_PAGEOUT hint to madvise(2) syscall. MADV_PAGEOUT can be used by a process to mark a memory range as not expected to be used for a long time so that kernel reclaims *any LRU* pages instantly. The hint can help kernel in deciding which pages to evict proactively. A note: It doesn't apply SWAP_CLUSTER_MAX LRU page isolation limit intentionally because it's automatically bounded by PMD size. If PMD size(e.g., 256) makes some trouble, we could fix it later by limit it to SWAP_CLUSTER_MAX[1]. - man-page material MADV_PAGEOUT (since Linux x.x) Do not expect access in the near future so pages in the specified regions could be reclaimed instantly regardless of memory pressure. Thus, access in the range after successful operation could cause major page fault but never lose the up-to-date contents unlike MADV_DONTNEED. Pages belonging to a shared mapping are only processed if a write access is allowed for the calling process. MADV_PAGEOUT cannot be applied to locked pages, Huge TLB pages, or VM_PFNMAP pages.

2019-09-25mm: introduce MADV_COLDMinchan Kim1-0/+2
Patch series "Introduce MADV_COLD and MADV_PAGEOUT", v7. - Background The Android terminology used for forking a new process and starting an app from scratch is a cold start, while resuming an existing app is a hot start. While we continually try to improve the performance of cold starts, hot starts will always be significantly less power hungry as well as faster so we are trying to make hot start more likely than cold start. To increase hot start, Android userspace manages the order that apps should be killed in a process called ActivityManagerService. ActivityManagerService tracks every Android app or service that the user could be interacting with at any time and translates that into a ranked list for lmkd(low memory killer daemon). They are likely to be killed by lmkd if the system has to reclaim memory. In that sense they are similar to entries in any other cache. Those apps are kept alive for opportunistic performance improvements but those performance improvements will vary based on the memory requirements of individual workloads. - Problem Naturally, cached apps were dominant consumers of memory on the system. However, they were not significant consumers of swap even though they are good candidate for swap. Under investigation, swapping out only begins once the low zone watermark is hit and kswapd wakes up, but the overall allocation rate in the system might trip lmkd thresholds and cause a cached process to be killed(we measured performance swapping out vs. zapping the memory by killing a process. Unsurprisingly, zapping is 10x times faster even though we use zram which is much faster than real storage) so kill from lmkd will often satisfy the high zone watermark, resulting in very few pages actually being moved to swap. - Approach The approach we chose was to use a new interface to allow userspace to proactively reclaim entire processes by leveraging platform information. This allowed us to bypass the inaccuracy of the kernel’s LRUs for pages that are known to be cold from userspace and to avoid races with lmkd by reclaiming apps as soon as they entered the cached state. Additionally, it could provide many chances for platform to use much information to optimize memory efficiency. To achieve the goal, the patchset introduce two new options for madvise. One is MADV_COLD which will deactivate activated pages and the other is MADV_PAGEOUT which will reclaim private pages instantly. These new options complement MADV_DONTNEED and MADV_FREE by adding non-destructive ways to gain some free memory space. MADV_PAGEOUT is similar to MADV_DONTNEED in a way that it hints the kernel that memory region is not currently needed and should be reclaimed immediately; MADV_COLD is similar to MADV_FREE in a way that it hints the kernel that memory region is not currently needed and should be reclaimed when memory pressure rises. This patch (of 5): When a process expects no accesses to a certain memory range, it could give a hint to kernel that the pages can be reclaimed when memory pressure happens but data should be preserved for future use. This could reduce workingset eviction so it ends up increasing performance. This patch introduces the new MADV_COLD hint to madvise(2) syscall. MADV_COLD can be used by a process to mark a memory range as not expected to be used in the near future. The hint can help kernel in deciding which pages to evict early during memory pressure. It works for every LRU pages like MADV_[DONTNEED|FREE]. IOW, It moves active file page -> inactive file LRU active anon page -> inacdtive anon LRU Unlike MADV_FREE, it doesn't move active anonymous pages to inactive file LRU's head because MADV_COLD is a little bit different symantic. MADV_FREE means it's okay to discard when the memory pressure because the content of the page is *garbage* so freeing such pages is almost zero overhead since we don't need to swap out and access afterward causes just minor fault. Thus, it would make sense to put those freeable pages in inactive file LRU to compete other used-once pages. It makes sense for implmentaion point of view, too because it's not swapbacked memory any longer until it would be re-dirtied. Even, it could give a bonus to make them be reclaimed on swapless system. However, MADV_COLD doesn't mean garbage so reclaiming them requires swap-out/in in the end so it's bigger cost. Since we have designed VM LRU aging based on cost-model, anonymous cold pages would be better to position inactive anon's LRU list, not file LRU. Furthermore, it would help to avoid unnecessary scanning if system doesn't have a swap device. Let's start simpler way without adding complexity at this moment. However, keep in mind, too that it's a caveat that workloads with a lot of pages cache are likely to ignore MADV_COLD on anonymous memory because we rarely age anonymous LRU lists. * man-page material MADV_COLD (since Linux x.x) Pages in the specified regions will be treated as less-recently-accessed compared to pages in the system with similar access frequencies. In contrast to MADV_FREE, the contents of the region are preserved regardless of subsequent writes to pages. MADV_COLD cannot be applied to locked pages, Huge TLB pages, or VM_PFNMAP pages.

2019-09-24mm: consolidate pgtable_cache_init() and pgd_cache_init()Mike Rapoport1-2/+0
Both pgtable_cache_init() and pgd_cache_init() are used to initialize kmem cache for page table allocations on several architectures that do not use PAGE_SIZE tables for one or more levels of the page table hierarchy. Most architectures do not implement these functions and use __weak default NOP implementation of pgd_cache_init(). Since there is no such default for pgtable_cache_init(), its empty stub is duplicated among most architectures. Rename the definitions of pgd_cache_init() to pgtable_cache_init() and drop empty stubs of pgtable_cache_init().

2019-09-24mm: remove quicklist page table cachesNicholas Piggin1-2/+0
Patch series "mm: remove quicklist page table caches". A while ago Nicholas proposed to remove quicklist page table caches [1]. I've rebased his patch on the curren upstream and switched ia64 and sh to use generic versions of PTE allocation. [1] https://lore.kernel.org/linux-mm/[email protected] This patch (of 3): Remove page table allocator "quicklists". These have been around for a long time, but have not got much traction in the last decade and are only used on ia64 and sh architectures. The numbers in the initial commit look interesting but probably don't apply anymore. If anybody wants to resurrect this it's in the git history, but it's unhelpful to have this code and divergent allocator behaviour for minor archs. Also it might be better to instead make more general improvements to page allocator if this is still so slow.

2019-06-08parisc: add dynamic ftraceSven Schnelle1-2/+13
This patch implements dynamic ftrace for PA-RISC. The required mcount call sequences can get pretty long, so instead of patching the whole call sequence out of the functions, we are using -fpatchable-function-entry from gcc. This puts a configurable amount of NOPS before/at the start of the function. Taking do_sys_open() as example, which would look like this when the call is patched out: 1036b248: 08 00 02 40 nop 1036b24c: 08 00 02 40 nop 1036b250: 08 00 02 40 nop 1036b254: 08 00 02 40 nop 1036b258 <do_sys_open>: 1036b258: 08 00 02 40 nop 1036b25c: 08 03 02 41 copy r3,r1 1036b260: 6b c2 3f d9 stw rp,-14(sp) 1036b264: 08 1e 02 43 copy sp,r3 1036b268: 6f c1 01 00 stw,ma r1,80(sp) When ftrace gets enabled for this function the kernel will patch these NOPs to: 1036b248: 10 19 57 20 <address of ftrace> 1036b24c: 6f c1 00 80 stw,ma r1,40(sp) 1036b250: 48 21 3f d1 ldw -18(r1),r1 1036b254: e8 20 c0 02 bv,n r0(r1) 1036b258 <do_sys_open>: 1036b258: e8 3f 1f df b,l,n .-c,r1 1036b25c: 08 03 02 41 copy r3,r1 1036b260: 6b c2 3f d9 stw rp,-14(sp) 1036b264: 08 1e 02 43 copy sp,r3 1036b268: 6f c1 01 00 stw,ma r1,80(sp) So the first NOP in do_sys_open() will be patched to jump backwards into some minimal trampoline code which pushes a stackframe, saves r1 which holds the return address, loads the address of the real ftrace function, and branches to that location. For 64 Bit things are getting a bit more complicated (and longer) because we must make sure that the address of ftrace location is 8 byte aligned, and the offset passed to ldd for fetching the address is 8 byte aligned as well. Note that gcc has a bug which misplaces the function label, and needs a patch to make dynamic ftrace work. See https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=90751 for details.

2019-06-06parisc: Use lpa instruction to load physical addresses in driver codeJohn David Anglin1-0/+24
Most I/O in the kernel is done using the kernel offset mapping. However, there is one API that uses aliased kernel address ranges: > The final category of APIs is for I/O to deliberately aliased address > ranges inside the kernel. Such aliases are set up by use of the > vmap/vmalloc API. Since kernel I/O goes via physical pages, the I/O > subsystem assumes that the user mapping and kernel offset mapping are > the only aliases. This isn't true for vmap aliases, so anything in > the kernel trying to do I/O to vmap areas must manually manage > coherency. It must do this by flushing the vmap range before doing > I/O and invalidating it after the I/O returns. For this reason, we should use the hardware lpa instruction to load the physical address of kernel virtual addresses in the driver code. I believe we only use the vmap/vmalloc API with old PA 1.x processors which don't have a sba, so we don't hit this problem. Tested on c3750, c8000 and rp3440.
