A lightweight compressed cache for swap pages. It takes
pages that are in the process of being swapped out and attempts to
compress them into a dynamically allocated RAM-based memory pool.
This can result in a significant I/O reduction on swap device and,
in the case where decompressing from RAM is faster than swap device
reads, can also improve workload performance.

mm, slob: rename CONFIG_SLOB to CONFIG_SLOB_DEPRECATED As explained in [1], we would like to remove SLOB if possible. - There are no known users that need its somewhat lower memory footprint so much that they cannot handle SLUB (after some modifications by the previous patches) instead. - It is an extra maintenance burden, and a number of features are incompatible with it. - It blocks the API improvement of allowing kfree() on objects allocated via kmem_cache_alloc(). As the first step, rename the CONFIG_SLOB option in the slab allocator configuration choice to CONFIG_SLOB_DEPRECATED. Add CONFIG_SLOB depending on CONFIG_SLOB_DEPRECATED as an internal option to avoid code churn.

But those should contact the slab maintainers and linux-mm@kvack.org as explained in the updated help. With no valid objections, the plan is to update the existing defconfigs to SLUB and remove SLOB in a few cycles.

For reduced kernel memory fragmentation, slab caches can be

This carries a risk of kernel heap overflows being able to
overwrite objects from merged caches (and more easily control
cache layout), which makes such heap attacks easier to exploit
by attackers. By keeping caches unmerged, these kinds of exploits

Randomization of the page allocator improves the average

5.2.27 Heterogeneous Memory Attribute Table (HMAT) in the ACPI
6.2a specification for an example of how a platform advertises
the presence of a memory-side-cache. There are also incidental
security benefits as it reduces the predictability of page
allocations to compliment SLAB_FREELIST_RANDOM, but the
default granularity of shuffling on the "MAX_ORDER - 1" i.e,
10th order of pages is selected based on cache utilization
benefits on x86.
While the randomization improves cache utilization it may
negatively impact workloads on platforms without a cache. For
this reason, by default, the randomization is enabled only
after runtime detection of a direct-mapped memory-side-cache.
Otherwise, the randomization may be force enabled with the
'page_alloc.shuffle' kernel command line parameter.
Say Y if unsure.

Randomizing heap placement makes heap exploits harder, but it

help
Normally, and according to the Linux spec, anonymous memory obtained
from mmap() has its contents cleared before it is passed to
userspace. Enabling this config option allows you to request that
mmap() skip that if it is given an MAP_UNINITIALIZED flag, thus
providing a huge performance boost. If this option is not enabled,
then the flag will be ignored.
This is taken advantage of by uClibc's malloc(), and also by
ELF-FDPIC binfmt's brk and stack allocator.
Because of the obvious security issues, this option should only be
enabled on embedded devices where you control what is run in
userspace. Since that isn't generally a problem on no-MMU systems,
it is normally safe to say Y here.

[PATCH] sparsemem memory model Sparsemem abstracts the use of discontiguous mem_maps[]. This kind of mem_map[] is needed by discontiguous memory machines (like in the old CONFIG_DISCONTIGMEM case) as well as memory hotplug systems. Sparsemem replaces DISCONTIGMEM when enabled, and it is hoped that it can eventually become a complete replacement. A significant advantage over DISCONTIGMEM is that it's completely separated from CONFIG_NUMA. When producing this patch, it became apparent in that NUMA and DISCONTIG are often confused. Another advantage is that sparse doesn't require each NUMA node's ranges to be contiguous. It can handle overlapping ranges between nodes with no problems, where DISCONTIGMEM currently throws away that memory. Sparsemem uses an array to provide different pfn_to_page() translations for each SECTION_SIZE area of physical memory. This is what allows the mem_map[] to be chopped up. In order to do quick pfn_to_page() operations, the section number of the page is encoded in page->flags. Part of the sparsemem infrastructure enables sharing of these bits more dynamically (at compile-time) between the page_zone() and sparsemem operations. However, on 32-bit architectures, the number of bits is quite limited, and may require growing the size of the page->flags type in certain conditions. Several things might force this to occur: a decrease in the SECTION_SIZE (if you want to hotplug smaller areas of memory), an increase in the physical address space, or an increase in the number of used page->flags. One thing to note is that, once sparsemem is present, the NUMA node information no longer needs to be stored in the page->flags. It might provide speed increases on certain platforms and will be stored there if there is room. But, if out of room, an alternate (theoretically slower) mechanism is used. This patch introduces CONFIG_FLATMEM. It is used in almost all cases where there used to be an #ifndef DISCONTIG, because SPARSEMEM and DISCONTIGMEM often have to compile out the same areas of code.

[PATCH] mm: split page table lock Christoph Lameter demonstrated very poor scalability on the SGI 512-way, with a many-threaded application which concurrently initializes different parts of a large anonymous area. This patch corrects that, by using a separate spinlock per page table page, to guard the page table entries in that page, instead of using the mm's single page_table_lock. (But even then, page_table_lock is still used to guard page table allocation, and anon_vma allocation.) In this implementation, the spinlock is tucked inside the struct page of the page table page: with a BUILD_BUG_ON in case it overflows - which it would in the case of 32-bit PA-RISC with spinlock debugging enabled. Splitting the lock is not quite for free: another cacheline access. Ideally, I suppose we would use split ptlock only for multi-threaded processes on multi-cpu machines; but deciding that dynamically would have its own costs. So for now enable it by config, at some number of cpus - since the Kconfig language doesn't support inequalities, let preprocessor compare that with NR_CPUS. But I don't think it's worth being user-configurable: for good testing of both split and unsplit configs, split now at 4 cpus, and perhaps change that to 8 later. There is a benefit even for singly threaded processes: kswapd can be attacking one part of the mm while another part is busy faulting.

mm: introduce a general RCU get_user_pages_fast() This series implements general forms of get_user_pages_fast and __get_user_pages_fast in core code and activates them for arm and arm64. These are required for Transparent HugePages to function correctly, as a futex on a THP tail will otherwise result in an infinite loop (due to the core implementation of __get_user_pages_fast always returning 0). Unfortunately, a futex on THP tail can be quite common for certain workloads; thus THP is unreliable without a __get_user_pages_fast implementation. This series may also be beneficial for direct-IO heavy workloads and certain KVM workloads. This patch (of 6): get_user_pages_fast() attempts to pin user pages by walking the page tables directly and avoids taking locks. Thus the walker needs to be protected from page table pages being freed from under it, and needs to block any THP splits. One way to achieve this is to have the walker disable interrupts, and rely on IPIs from the TLB flushing code blocking before the page table pages are freed. On some platforms we have hardware broadcast of TLB invalidations, thus the TLB flushing code doesn't necessarily need to broadcast IPIs; and spuriously broadcasting IPIs can hurt system performance if done too often. This problem has been solved on PowerPC and Sparc by batching up page table pages belonging to more than one mm_user, then scheduling an rcu_sched callback to free the pages. This RCU page table free logic has been promoted to core code and is activated when one enables HAVE_RCU_TABLE_FREE. Unfortunately, these architectures implement their own get_user_pages_fast routines. The RCU page table free logic coupled with an IPI broadcast on THP split (which is a rare event), allows one to protect a page table walker by merely disabling the interrupts during the walk. This patch provides a general RCU implementation of get_user_pages_fast that can be used by architectures that perform hardware broadcast of TLB invalidations. It is based heavily on the PowerPC implementation by Nick Piggin.

kernel/resource: disallow access to exclusive system RAM regions virtio-mem dynamically exposes memory inside a device memory region as system RAM to Linux, coordinating with the hypervisor which parts are actually "plugged" and consequently usable/accessible. On the one hand, the virtio-mem driver adds/removes whole memory blocks, creating/removing busy IORESOURCE_SYSTEM_RAM resources, on the other hand, it logically (un)plugs memory inside added memory blocks, dynamically either exposing them to the buddy or hiding them from the buddy and marking them PG_offline. In contrast to physical devices, like a DIMM, the virtio-mem driver is required to actually make use of any of the device-provided memory, because it performs the handshake with the hypervisor. virtio-mem memory cannot simply be access via /dev/mem without a driver. There is no safe way to: a) Access plugged memory blocks via /dev/mem, as they might contain unplugged holes or might get silently unplugged by the virtio-mem driver and consequently turned inaccessible. b) Access unplugged memory blocks via /dev/mem because the virtio-mem driver is required to make them actually accessible first. The virtio-spec states that unplugged memory blocks MUST NOT be written, and only selected unplugged memory blocks MAY be read. We want to make sure, this is the case in sane environments -- where the virtio-mem driver was loaded. We want to make sure that in a sane environment, nobody "accidentially" accesses unplugged memory inside the device managed region. For example, a user might spot a memory region in /proc/iomem and try accessing it via /dev/mem via gdb or dumping it via something else. By the time the mmap() happens, the memory might already have been removed by the virtio-mem driver silently: the mmap() would succeeed and user space might accidentially access unplugged memory. So once the driver was loaded and detected the device along the device-managed region, we just want to disallow any access via /dev/mem to it. In an ideal world, we would mark the whole region as busy ("owned by a driver") and exclude it; however, that would be wrong, as we don't really have actual system RAM at these ranges added to Linux ("busy system RAM"). Instead, we want to mark such ranges as "not actual busy system RAM but still soft-reserved and prepared by a driver for future use." Let's teach iomem_is_exclusive() to reject access to any range with "IORESOURCE_SYSTEM_RAM | IORESOURCE_EXCLUSIVE", even if not busy and even if "iomem=relaxed" is set. Introduce EXCLUSIVE_SYSTEM_RAM to make it easier for applicable drivers to depend on this setting in their Kconfig. For now, there are no applicable ranges and we'll modify virtio-mem next to properly set IORESOURCE_EXCLUSIVE on the parent resource container it creates to contain all actual busy system RAM added via add_memory_driver_managed().

memory-hotplug: implement register_page_bootmem_info_section of sparse-vmemmap For removing memmap region of sparse-vmemmap which is allocated bootmem, memmap region of sparse-vmemmap needs to be registered by get_page_bootmem().

It's implemented by adding a new Kconfig option named CONFIG_HAVE_BOOTMEM_INFO_NODE, which will be automatically selected by memory-hotplug feature fully supported archs(currently only on x86_64). Since we have 2 config options called MEMORY_HOTPLUG and MEMORY_HOTREMOVE used for memory hot-add and hot-remove separately, and codes in function register_page_bootmem_info_node() are only used for collecting infomation for hot-remove, so reside it under MEMORY_HOTREMOVE. Besides page_isolation.c selected by MEMORY_ISOLATION under MEMORY_HOTPLUG is also such case, move it too.

mm/memory_hotplug: mark pageblocks MIGRATE_ISOLATE while onlining memory Currently, it can happen that pages are allocated (and freed) via the buddy before we finished basic memory onlining. For example, pages are exposed to the buddy and can be allocated before we actually mark the sections online. Allocated pages could suddenly fail pfn_to_online_page() checks. We had similar issues with pcp handling, when pages are allocated+freed before we reach zone_pcp_update() in online_pages() [1]. Instead, mark all pageblocks MIGRATE_ISOLATE, such that allocations are impossible. Once done with the heavy lifting, use undo_isolate_page_range() to move the pages to the MIGRATE_MOVABLE freelist, marking them ready for allocation. Similar to offline_pages(), we have to manually adjust zone->nr_isolate_pageblock.

mm/memory_hotplug: restrict CONFIG_MEMORY_HOTPLUG to 64 bit 32 bit support is broken in various ways: for example, we can online memory that should actually go to ZONE_HIGHMEM to ZONE_MOVABLE or in some cases even to one of the other kernel zones. We marked it BROKEN in commit b59d02ed0869 ("mm/memory_hotplug: disable the functionality for 32b") almost one year ago. According to that commit it might be broken at least since 2017. Further, there is hardly a sane use case nowadays. Let's just depend completely on 64bit, dropping the "BROKEN" dependency to make clear that we are not going to support it again. Next, we'll remove some HIGHMEM leftovers from memory hotplug code to clean up.

mm,memory_hotplug: allocate memmap from the added memory range Physical memory hotadd has to allocate a memmap (struct page array) for the newly added memory section. Currently, alloc_pages_node() is used for those allocations. This has some disadvantages: a) an existing memory is consumed for that purpose (eg: ~2MB per 128MB memory section on x86_64) This can even lead to extreme cases where system goes OOM because the physically hotplugged memory depletes the available memory before it is onlined. b) if the whole node is movable then we have off-node struct pages which has performance drawbacks. c) It might be there are no PMD_ALIGNED chunks so memmap array gets populated with base pages. This can be improved when CONFIG_SPARSEMEM_VMEMMAP is enabled. Vmemap page tables can map arbitrary memory. That means that we can reserve a part of the physically hotadded memory to back vmemmap page tables. This implementation uses the beginning of the hotplugged memory for that purpose. There are some non-obviously things to consider though. Vmemmap pages are allocated/freed during the memory hotplug events (add_memory_resource(), try_remove_memory()) when the memory is added/removed. This means that the reserved physical range is not online although it is used. The most obvious side effect is that pfn_to_online_page() returns NULL for those pfns. The current design expects that this should be OK as the hotplugged memory is considered a garbage until it is onlined. For example hibernation wouldn't save the content of those vmmemmaps into the image so it wouldn't be restored on resume but this should be OK as there no real content to recover anyway while metadata is reachable from other data structures (e.g. vmemmap page tables). The reserved space is therefore (de)initialized during the {on,off}line events (mhp_{de}init_memmap_on_memory). That is done by extracting page allocator independent initialization from the regular onlining path. The primary reason to handle the reserved space outside of {on,off}line_pages is to make each initialization specific to the purpose rather than special case them in a single function. As per above, the functions that are introduced are: - mhp_init_memmap_on_memory: Initializes vmemmap pages by calling move_pfn_range_to_zone(), calls kasan_add_zero_shadow(), and onlines as many sections as vmemmap pages fully span. - mhp_deinit_memmap_on_memory: Offlines as many sections as vmemmap pages fully span, removes the range from zhe zone by remove_pfn_range_from_zone(), and calls kasan_remove_zero_shadow() for the range. The new function memory_block_online() calls mhp_init_memmap_on_memory() before doing the actual online_pages(). Should online_pages() fail, we clean up by calling mhp_deinit_memmap_on_memory(). Adjusting of present_pages is done at the end once we know that online_pages() succedeed. On offline, memory_block_offline() needs to unaccount vmemmap pages from present_pages() before calling offline_pages(). This is necessary because offline_pages() tears down some structures based on the fact whether the node or the zone become empty. If offline_pages() fails, we account back vmemmap pages. If it succeeds, we call mhp_deinit_memmap_on_memory(). Hot-remove: We need to be careful when removing memory, as adding and removing memory needs to be done with the same granularity. To check that this assumption is not violated, we check the memory range we want to remove and if a) any memory block has vmemmap pages and b) the range spans more than a single memory block, we scream out loud and refuse to proceed. If all is good and the range was using memmap on memory (aka vmemmap pages), we construct an altmap structure so free_hugepage_table does the right thing and calls vmem_altmap_free instead of free_pagetable.

[PATCH] mm: split page table lock Christoph Lameter demonstrated very poor scalability on the SGI 512-way, with a many-threaded application which concurrently initializes different parts of a large anonymous area. This patch corrects that, by using a separate spinlock per page table page, to guard the page table entries in that page, instead of using the mm's single page_table_lock. (But even then, page_table_lock is still used to guard page table allocation, and anon_vma allocation.) In this implementation, the spinlock is tucked inside the struct page of the page table page: with a BUILD_BUG_ON in case it overflows - which it would in the case of 32-bit PA-RISC with spinlock debugging enabled. Splitting the lock is not quite for free: another cacheline access. Ideally, I suppose we would use split ptlock only for multi-threaded processes on multi-cpu machines; but deciding that dynamically would have its own costs. So for now enable it by config, at some number of cpus - since the Kconfig language doesn't support inequalities, let preprocessor compare that with NR_CPUS. But I don't think it's worth being user-configurable: for good testing of both split and unsplit configs, split now at 4 cpus, and perhaps change that to 8 later. There is a benefit even for singly threaded processes: kswapd can be attacking one part of the mm while another part is busy faulting.

# Heavily threaded applications may benefit from splitting the mm-wide
# page_table_lock, so that faults on different parts of the user address
# space can be handled with less contention: split it at this NR_CPUS.
# Default to 4 for wider testing, though 8 might be more appropriate.
# ARM's adjust_pte (unused if VIPT) depends on mm-wide page_table_lock.
# PA-RISC 7xxx's spinlock_t would enlarge struct page from 32 to 44 bytes.
# SPARC32 allocates multiple pte tables within a single page, and therefore
# a per-page lock leads to problems when multiple tables need to be locked
# at the same time (e.g. copy_page_range()).
mm: stop ptlock enlarging struct page CONFIG_DEBUG_SPINLOCK adds 12 or 16 bytes to a 32- or 64-bit spinlock_t, and CONFIG_DEBUG_LOCK_ALLOC adds another 12 or 24 bytes to it: lockdep enables both of those, and CONFIG_LOCK_STAT adds 8 or 16 bytes to that. When 2.6.15 placed the split page table lock inside struct page (usually sized 32 or 56 bytes), only CONFIG_DEBUG_SPINLOCK was a possibility, and we ignored the enlargement (but fitted in CONFIG_GENERIC_LOCKBREAK's 4 by letting the spinlock_t occupy both page->private and page->mapping). Should these debugging options be allowed to double the size of a struct page, when only one minority use of the page (as a page table) needs to fit a spinlock in there? Perhaps not. Take the easy way out: switch off SPLIT_PTLOCK_CPUS when DEBUG_SPINLOCK or DEBUG_LOCK_ALLOC is in force. I've sometimes tried to be cleverer, kmallocing a cacheline for the spinlock when it doesn't fit, but given up each time. Falling back to mm->page_table_lock (as we do when ptlock is not split) lets lockdep check out the strictest path anyway. And now that some arches allow 8192 cpus, use 999999 for infinity. (What has this got to do with KSM swapping? It doesn't care about the size of struct page, but may care about random junk in page->mapping - to be explained separately later.)

mm: stop ptlock enlarging struct page CONFIG_DEBUG_SPINLOCK adds 12 or 16 bytes to a 32- or 64-bit spinlock_t, and CONFIG_DEBUG_LOCK_ALLOC adds another 12 or 24 bytes to it: lockdep enables both of those, and CONFIG_LOCK_STAT adds 8 or 16 bytes to that. When 2.6.15 placed the split page table lock inside struct page (usually sized 32 or 56 bytes), only CONFIG_DEBUG_SPINLOCK was a possibility, and we ignored the enlargement (but fitted in CONFIG_GENERIC_LOCKBREAK's 4 by letting the spinlock_t occupy both page->private and page->mapping). Should these debugging options be allowed to double the size of a struct page, when only one minority use of the page (as a page table) needs to fit a spinlock in there? Perhaps not. Take the easy way out: switch off SPLIT_PTLOCK_CPUS when DEBUG_SPINLOCK or DEBUG_LOCK_ALLOC is in force. I've sometimes tried to be cleverer, kmallocing a cacheline for the spinlock when it doesn't fit, but given up each time. Falling back to mm->page_table_lock (as we do when ptlock is not split) lets lockdep check out the strictest path anyway. And now that some arches allow 8192 cpus, use 999999 for infinity. (What has this got to do with KSM swapping? It doesn't care about the size of struct page, but may care about random junk in page->mapping - to be explained separately later.)

[PATCH] mm: split page table lock Christoph Lameter demonstrated very poor scalability on the SGI 512-way, with a many-threaded application which concurrently initializes different parts of a large anonymous area. This patch corrects that, by using a separate spinlock per page table page, to guard the page table entries in that page, instead of using the mm's single page_table_lock. (But even then, page_table_lock is still used to guard page table allocation, and anon_vma allocation.) In this implementation, the spinlock is tucked inside the struct page of the page table page: with a BUILD_BUG_ON in case it overflows - which it would in the case of 32-bit PA-RISC with spinlock debugging enabled. Splitting the lock is not quite for free: another cacheline access. Ideally, I suppose we would use split ptlock only for multi-threaded processes on multi-cpu machines; but deciding that dynamically would have its own costs. So for now enable it by config, at some number of cpus - since the Kconfig language doesn't support inequalities, let preprocessor compare that with NR_CPUS. But I don't think it's worth being user-configurable: for good testing of both split and unsplit configs, split now at 4 cpus, and perhaps change that to 8 later. There is a benefit even for singly threaded processes: kswapd can be attacking one part of the mm while another part is busy faulting.

mm: introduce Reported pages In order to pave the way for free page reporting in virtualized environments we will need a way to get pages out of the free lists and identify those pages after they have been returned. To accomplish this, this patch adds the concept of a Reported Buddy, which is essentially meant to just be the Uptodate flag used in conjunction with the Buddy page type. To prevent the reported pages from leaking outside of the buddy lists I added a check to clear the PageReported bit in the del_page_from_free_list function. As a result any reported page that is split, merged, or allocated will have the flag cleared prior to the PageBuddy value being cleared. The process for reporting pages is fairly simple. Once we free a page that meets the minimum order for page reporting we will schedule a worker thread to start 2s or more in the future. That worker thread will begin working from the lowest supported page reporting order up to MAX_ORDER - 1 pulling unreported pages from the free list and storing them in the scatterlist. When processing each individual free list it is necessary for the worker thread to release the zone lock when it needs to stop and report the full scatterlist of pages. To reduce the work of the next iteration the worker thread will rotate the free list so that the first unreported page in the free list becomes the first entry in the list. It will then call a reporting function providing information on how many entries are in the scatterlist. Once the function completes it will return the pages to the free area from which they were allocated and start over pulling more pages from the free areas until there are no longer enough pages to report on to keep the worker busy, or we have processed as many pages as were contained in the free area when we started processing the list. The worker thread will work in a round-robin fashion making its way though each zone requesting reporting, and through each reportable free list within that zone. Once all free areas within the zone have been processed it will check to see if there have been any requests for reporting while it was processing. If so it will reschedule the worker thread to start up again in roughly 2s and exit.

mm: enforce pageblock_order < MAX_ORDER Some places in the kernel don't really expect pageblock_order >= MAX_ORDER, and it looks like this is only possible in corner cases: 1) CONFIG_DEFERRED_STRUCT_PAGE_INIT we'll end up freeing pageblock_order pages via __free_pages_core(), which cannot possibly work. 2) find_zone_movable_pfns_for_nodes() will roundup the ZONE_MOVABLE start PFN to MAX_ORDER_NR_PAGES. Consequently with a bigger pageblock_order, we could have a single pageblock partially managed by two zones. 3) compaction code runs into __fragmentation_index() with order >= MAX_ORDER, when checking WARN_ON_ONCE(order >= MAX_ORDER). [1] 4) mm/page_reporting.c won't be reporting any pages with default page_reporting_order == pageblock_order, as we'll be skipping the reporting loop inside page_reporting_process_zone(). 5) __rmqueue_fallback() will never be able to steal with ALLOC_NOFRAGMENT. pageblock_order >= MAX_ORDER is weird either way: it's a pure optimization for making alloc_contig_range(), as used for allcoation of gigantic pages, a little more reliable to succeed. However, if there is demand for somewhat reliable allocation of gigantic pages, affected setups should be using CMA or boottime allocations instead. So let's make sure that pageblock_order < MAX_ORDER and simplify.

mmu-notifiers: core With KVM/GFP/XPMEM there isn't just the primary CPU MMU pointing to pages. There are secondary MMUs (with secondary sptes and secondary tlbs) too. sptes in the kvm case are shadow pagetables, but when I say spte in mmu-notifier context, I mean "secondary pte". In GRU case there's no actual secondary pte and there's only a secondary tlb because the GRU secondary MMU has no knowledge about sptes and every secondary tlb miss event in the MMU always generates a page fault that has to be resolved by the CPU (this is not the case of KVM where the a secondary tlb miss will walk sptes in hardware and it will refill the secondary tlb transparently to software if the corresponding spte is present). The same way zap_page_range has to invalidate the pte before freeing the page, the spte (and secondary tlb) must also be invalidated before any page is freed and reused. Currently we take a page_count pin on every page mapped by sptes, but that means the pages can't be swapped whenever they're mapped by any spte because they're part of the guest working set. Furthermore a spte unmap event can immediately lead to a page to be freed when the pin is released (so requiring the same complex and relatively slow tlb_gather smp safe logic we have in zap_page_range and that can be avoided completely if the spte unmap event doesn't require an unpin of the page previously mapped in the secondary MMU). The mmu notifiers allow kvm/GRU/XPMEM to attach to the tsk->mm and know when the VM is swapping or freeing or doing anything on the primary MMU so that the secondary MMU code can drop sptes before the pages are freed, avoiding all page pinning and allowing 100% reliable swapping of guest physical address space. Furthermore it avoids the code that teardown the mappings of the secondary MMU, to implement a logic like tlb_gather in zap_page_range that would require many IPI to flush other cpu tlbs, for each fixed number of spte unmapped. To make an example: if what happens on the primary MMU is a protection downgrade (from writeable to wrprotect) the secondary MMU mappings will be invalidated, and the next secondary-mmu-page-fault will call get_user_pages and trigger a do_wp_page through get_user_pages if it called get_user_pages with write=1, and it'll re-establishing an updated spte or secondary-tlb-mapping on the copied page. Or it will setup a readonly spte or readonly tlb mapping if it's a guest-read, if it calls get_user_pages with write=0. This is just an example. This allows to map any page pointed by any pte (and in turn visible in the primary CPU MMU), into a secondary MMU (be it a pure tlb like GRU, or an full MMU with both sptes and secondary-tlb like the shadow-pagetable layer with kvm), or a remote DMA in software like XPMEM (hence needing of schedule in XPMEM code to send the invalidate to the remote node, while no need to schedule in kvm/gru as it's an immediate event like invalidating primary-mmu pte). At least for KVM without this patch it's impossible to swap guests reliably. And having this feature and removing the page pin allows several other optimizations that simplify life considerably. Dependencies: 1) mm_take_all_locks() to register the mmu notifier when the whole VM isn't doing anything with "mm". This allows mmu notifier users to keep track if the VM is in the middle of the invalidate_range_begin/end critical section with an atomic counter incraese in range_begin and decreased in range_end. No secondary MMU page fault is allowed to map any spte or secondary tlb reference, while the VM is in the middle of range_begin/end as any page returned by get_user_pages in that critical section could later immediately be freed without any further ->invalidate_page notification (invalidate_range_begin/end works on ranges and ->invalidate_page isn't called immediately before freeing the page). To stop all page freeing and pagetable overwrites the mmap_sem must be taken in write mode and all other anon_vma/i_mmap locks must be taken too. 2) It'd be a waste to add branches in the VM if nobody could possibly run KVM/GRU/XPMEM on the kernel, so mmu notifiers will only enabled if CONFIG_KVM=m/y. In the current kernel kvm won't yet take advantage of mmu notifiers, but this already allows to compile a KVM external module against a kernel with mmu notifiers enabled and from the next pull from kvm.git we'll start using them. And GRU/XPMEM will also be able to continue the development by enabling KVM=m in their config, until they submit all GRU/XPMEM GPLv2 code to the mainline kernel. Then they can also enable MMU_NOTIFIERS in the same way KVM does it (even if KVM=n). This guarantees nobody selects MMU_NOTIFIER=y if KVM and GRU and XPMEM are all =n. The mmu_notifier_register call can fail because mm_take_all_locks may be interrupted by a signal and return -EINTR. Because mmu_notifier_reigster is used when a driver startup, a failure can be gracefully handled. Here an example of the change applied to kvm to register the mmu notifiers. Usually when a driver startups other allocations are required anyway and -ENOMEM failure paths exists already. struct kvm *kvm_arch_create_vm(void) { struct kvm *kvm = kzalloc(sizeof(struct kvm), GFP_KERNEL); + int err; if (!kvm) return ERR_PTR(-ENOMEM); INIT_LIST_HEAD(&kvm->arch.active_mmu_pages); + kvm->arch.mmu_notifier.ops = &kvm_mmu_notifier_ops; + err = mmu_notifier_register(&kvm->arch.mmu_notifier, current->mm); + if (err) { + kfree(kvm); + return ERR_PTR(err); + } + return kvm; } mmu_notifier_unregister returns void and it's reliable. The patch also adds a few needed but missing includes that would prevent kernel to compile after these changes on non-x86 archs (x86 didn't need them by luck).

mm/mmu_notifier: add an interval tree notifier Of the 13 users of mmu_notifiers, 8 of them use only invalidate_range_start/end() and immediately intersect the mmu_notifier_range with some kind of internal list of VAs. 4 use an interval tree (i915_gem, radeon_mn, umem_odp, hfi1). 4 use a linked list of some kind (scif_dma, vhost, gntdev, hmm) And the remaining 5 either don't use invalidate_range_start() or do some special thing with it. It turns out that building a correct scheme with an interval tree is pretty complicated, particularly if the use case is synchronizing against another thread doing get_user_pages(). Many of these implementations have various subtle and difficult to fix races. This approach puts the interval tree as common code at the top of the mmu notifier call tree and implements a shareable locking scheme. It includes: - An interval tree tracking VA ranges, with per-range callbacks - A read/write locking scheme for the interval tree that avoids sleeping in the notifier path (for OOM killer) - A sequence counter based collision-retry locking scheme to tell device page fault that a VA range is being concurrently invalidated. This is based on various ideas: - hmm accumulates invalidated VA ranges and releases them when all invalidates are done, via active_invalidate_ranges count. This approach avoids having to intersect the interval tree twice (as umem_odp does) at the potential cost of a longer device page fault. - kvm/umem_odp use a sequence counter to drive the collision retry, via invalidate_seq - a deferred work todo list on unlock scheme like RTNL, via deferred_list. This makes adding/removing interval tree members more deterministic - seqlock, except this version makes the seqlock idea multi-holder on the write side by protecting it with active_invalidate_ranges and a spinlock To minimize MM overhead when only the interval tree is being used, the entire SRCU and hlist overheads are dropped using some simple branches. Similarly the interval tree overhead is dropped when in hlist mode. The overhead from the mandatory spinlock is broadly the same as most of existing users which already had a lock (or two) of some sort on the invalidation path.

nommu: make the initial mmap allocation excess behaviour Kconfig configurable NOMMU mmap() has an option controlled by a sysctl variable that determines whether the allocations made by do_mmap_private() should have the excess space trimmed off and returned to the allocator. Make the initial setting of this variable a Kconfig configuration option. The reason there can be excess space is that the allocator only allocates in power-of-2 size chunks, but mmap()'s can be made in sizes that aren't a power of 2. There are two alternatives: (1) Keep the excess as dead space. The dead space then remains unused for the lifetime of the mapping. Mappings of shared objects such as libc, ld.so or busybox's text segment may retain their dead space forever. (2) Return the excess to the allocator. This means that the dead space is limited to less than a page per mapping, but it means that for a transient process, there's more chance of fragmentation as the excess space may be reused fairly quickly. During the boot process, a lot of transient processes are created, and this can cause a lot of fragmentation as the pagecache and various slabs grow greatly during this time. By turning off the trimming of excess space during boot and disabling batching of frees, Coldfire can manage to boot. A better way of doing things might be to have /sbin/init turn this option off. By that point libc, ld.so and init - which are all long-duration processes - have all been loaded and trimmed.

ksm: the mm interface to ksm 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.

nommu: make the initial mmap allocation excess behaviour Kconfig configurable NOMMU mmap() has an option controlled by a sysctl variable that determines whether the allocations made by do_mmap_private() should have the excess space trimmed off and returned to the allocator. Make the initial setting of this variable a Kconfig configuration option. The reason there can be excess space is that the allocator only allocates in power-of-2 size chunks, but mmap()'s can be made in sizes that aren't a power of 2. There are two alternatives: (1) Keep the excess as dead space. The dead space then remains unused for the lifetime of the mapping. Mappings of shared objects such as libc, ld.so or busybox's text segment may retain their dead space forever. (2) Return the excess to the allocator. This means that the dead space is limited to less than a page per mapping, but it means that for a transient process, there's more chance of fragmentation as the excess space may be reused fairly quickly. During the boot process, a lot of transient processes are created, and this can cause a lot of fragmentation as the pagecache and various slabs grow greatly during this time. By turning off the trimming of excess space during boot and disabling batching of frees, Coldfire can manage to boot. A better way of doing things might be to have /sbin/init turn this option off. By that point libc, ld.so and init - which are all long-duration processes - have all been loaded and trimmed.

help
The NOMMU mmap() frequently needs to allocate large contiguous chunks
of memory on which to store mappings, but it can only ask the system
allocator for chunks in 2^N*PAGE_SIZE amounts - which is frequently
more than it requires. To deal with this, mmap() is able to trim off
the excess and return it to the allocator.
If trimming is enabled, the excess is trimmed off and returned to the
system allocator, which can cause extra fragmentation, particularly
if there are a lot of transient processes.
If trimming is disabled, the excess is kept, but not used, which for
long-term mappings means that the space is wasted.
Trimming can be dynamically controlled through a sysctl option
(/proc/sys/vm/nr_trim_pages) which specifies the minimum number of
excess pages there must be before trimming should occur, or zero if
no trimming is to occur.
This option specifies the initial value of this option. The default
of 1 says that all excess pages should be trimmed.

mm, THP, swap: delay splitting THP during swap out Patch series "THP swap: Delay splitting THP during swapping out", v11. This patchset is to optimize the performance of Transparent Huge Page (THP) swap. Recently, the performance of the storage devices improved so fast that we cannot saturate the disk bandwidth with single logical CPU when do page swap out even on a high-end server machine. Because the performance of the storage device improved faster than that of single logical CPU. And it seems that the trend will not change in the near future. On the other hand, the THP becomes more and more popular because of increased memory size. So it becomes necessary to optimize THP swap performance. The advantages of the THP swap support include: - Batch the swap operations for the THP to reduce lock acquiring/releasing, including allocating/freeing the swap space, adding/deleting to/from the swap cache, and writing/reading the swap space, etc. This will help improve the performance of the THP swap. - The THP swap space read/write will be 2M sequential IO. It is particularly helpful for the swap read, which are usually 4k random IO. This will improve the performance of the THP swap too. - It will help the memory fragmentation, especially when the THP is heavily used by the applications. The 2M continuous pages will be free up after THP swapping out. - It will improve the THP utilization on the system with the swap turned on. Because the speed for khugepaged to collapse the normal pages into the THP is quite slow. After the THP is split during the swapping out, it will take quite long time for the normal pages to collapse back into the THP after being swapped in. The high THP utilization helps the efficiency of the page based memory management too. There are some concerns regarding THP swap in, mainly because possible enlarged read/write IO size (for swap in/out) may put more overhead on the storage device. To deal with that, the THP swap in should be turned on only when necessary. For example, it can be selected via "always/never/madvise" logic, to be turned on globally, turned off globally, or turned on only for VMA with MADV_HUGEPAGE, etc. This patchset is the first step for the THP swap support. The plan is to delay splitting THP step by step, finally avoid splitting THP during the THP swapping out and swap out/in the THP as a whole. As the first step, in this patchset, the splitting huge page is delayed from almost the first step of swapping out to after allocating the swap space for the THP and adding the THP into the swap cache. This will reduce lock acquiring/releasing for the locks used for the swap cache management. With the patchset, the swap out throughput improves 15.5% (from about 3.73GB/s to about 4.31GB/s) in the vm-scalability swap-w-seq test case with 8 processes. The test is done on a Xeon E5 v3 system. The swap device used is a RAM simulated PMEM (persistent memory) device. To test the sequential swapping out, the test case creates 8 processes, which sequentially allocate and write to the anonymous pages until the RAM and part of the swap device is used up. This patch (of 5): In this patch, splitting huge page is delayed from almost the first step of swapping out to after allocating the swap space for the THP (Transparent Huge Page) and adding the THP into the swap cache. This will batch the corresponding operation, thus improve THP swap out throughput. This is the first step for the THP swap optimization. The plan is to delay splitting the THP step by step and avoid splitting the THP finally. In this patch, one swap cluster is used to hold the contents of each THP swapped out. So, the size of the swap cluster is changed to that of the THP (Transparent Huge Page) on x86_64 architecture (512). For other architectures which want such THP swap optimization, ARCH_USES_THP_SWAP_CLUSTER needs to be selected in the Kconfig file for the architecture. In effect, this will enlarge swap cluster size by 2 times on x86_64. Which may make it harder to find a free cluster when the swap space becomes fragmented. So that, this may reduce the continuous swap space allocation and sequential write in theory. The performance test in 0day shows no regressions caused by this. In the future of THP swap optimization, some information of the swapped out THP (such as compound map count) will be recorded in the swap_cluster_info data structure. The mem cgroup swap accounting functions are enhanced to support charge or uncharge a swap cluster backing a THP as a whole. The swap cluster allocate/free functions are added to allocate/free a swap cluster for a THP. A fair simple algorithm is used for swap cluster allocation, that is, only the first swap device in priority list will be tried to allocate the swap cluster. The function will fail if the trying is not successful, and the caller will fallback to allocate a single swap slot instead. This works good enough for normal cases. If the difference of the number of the free swap clusters among multiple swap devices is significant, it is possible that some THPs are split earlier than necessary. For example, this could be caused by big size difference among multiple swap devices. The swap cache functions is enhanced to support add/delete THP to/from the swap cache as a set of (HPAGE_PMD_NR) sub-pages. This may be enhanced in the future with multi-order radix tree. But because we will split the THP soon during swapping out, that optimization doesn't make much sense for this first step. The THP splitting functions are enhanced to support to split THP in swap cache during swapping out. The page lock will be held during allocating the swap cluster, adding the THP into the swap cache and splitting the THP. So in the code path other than swapping out, if the THP need to be split, the PageSwapCache(THP) will be always false. The swap cluster is only available for SSD, so the THP swap optimization in this patchset has no effect for HDD.

This patch (of 3): We want to declare one more int in the first tail of a compound page: that first tail page being valuable property, since every compound page has a first tail, but perhaps no more than that. No problem on 64-bit: there is already space for it. No problem with 32-bit THPs: 5.18 commit 5232c63f46fd ("mm: Make compound_pincount always available") kindly cleared the space for it, apparently not realizing that only 64-bit architectures enable CONFIG_THP_SWAP (whose use of tail page->private might conflict) - but make sure of that in its Kconfig. But hugetlb pages use tail page->private of the first tail page for a subpool pointer, which will conflict; and they also use page->private of the 2nd, 3rd and 4th tails. Undo "mm: add private field of first tail to struct page and struct folio"'s recent addition of private_1 to the folio tail: instead add hugetlb_subpool, hugetlb_cgroup, hugetlb_cgroup_rsvd, hugetlb_hwpoison to a second tail page of the folio: THP has long been using several fields of that tail, so make better use of it for hugetlb too.

mm, THP, swap: delay splitting THP during swap out Patch series "THP swap: Delay splitting THP during swapping out", v11. This patchset is to optimize the performance of Transparent Huge Page (THP) swap. Recently, the performance of the storage devices improved so fast that we cannot saturate the disk bandwidth with single logical CPU when do page swap out even on a high-end server machine. Because the performance of the storage device improved faster than that of single logical CPU. And it seems that the trend will not change in the near future. On the other hand, the THP becomes more and more popular because of increased memory size. So it becomes necessary to optimize THP swap performance. The advantages of the THP swap support include: - Batch the swap operations for the THP to reduce lock acquiring/releasing, including allocating/freeing the swap space, adding/deleting to/from the swap cache, and writing/reading the swap space, etc. This will help improve the performance of the THP swap. - The THP swap space read/write will be 2M sequential IO. It is particularly helpful for the swap read, which are usually 4k random IO. This will improve the performance of the THP swap too. - It will help the memory fragmentation, especially when the THP is heavily used by the applications. The 2M continuous pages will be free up after THP swapping out. - It will improve the THP utilization on the system with the swap turned on. Because the speed for khugepaged to collapse the normal pages into the THP is quite slow. After the THP is split during the swapping out, it will take quite long time for the normal pages to collapse back into the THP after being swapped in. The high THP utilization helps the efficiency of the page based memory management too. There are some concerns regarding THP swap in, mainly because possible enlarged read/write IO size (for swap in/out) may put more overhead on the storage device. To deal with that, the THP swap in should be turned on only when necessary. For example, it can be selected via "always/never/madvise" logic, to be turned on globally, turned off globally, or turned on only for VMA with MADV_HUGEPAGE, etc. This patchset is the first step for the THP swap support. The plan is to delay splitting THP step by step, finally avoid splitting THP during the THP swapping out and swap out/in the THP as a whole. As the first step, in this patchset, the splitting huge page is delayed from almost the first step of swapping out to after allocating the swap space for the THP and adding the THP into the swap cache. This will reduce lock acquiring/releasing for the locks used for the swap cache management. With the patchset, the swap out throughput improves 15.5% (from about 3.73GB/s to about 4.31GB/s) in the vm-scalability swap-w-seq test case with 8 processes. The test is done on a Xeon E5 v3 system. The swap device used is a RAM simulated PMEM (persistent memory) device. To test the sequential swapping out, the test case creates 8 processes, which sequentially allocate and write to the anonymous pages until the RAM and part of the swap device is used up. This patch (of 5): In this patch, splitting huge page is delayed from almost the first step of swapping out to after allocating the swap space for the THP (Transparent Huge Page) and adding the THP into the swap cache. This will batch the corresponding operation, thus improve THP swap out throughput. This is the first step for the THP swap optimization. The plan is to delay splitting the THP step by step and avoid splitting the THP finally. In this patch, one swap cluster is used to hold the contents of each THP swapped out. So, the size of the swap cluster is changed to that of the THP (Transparent Huge Page) on x86_64 architecture (512). For other architectures which want such THP swap optimization, ARCH_USES_THP_SWAP_CLUSTER needs to be selected in the Kconfig file for the architecture. In effect, this will enlarge swap cluster size by 2 times on x86_64. Which may make it harder to find a free cluster when the swap space becomes fragmented. So that, this may reduce the continuous swap space allocation and sequential write in theory. The performance test in 0day shows no regressions caused by this. In the future of THP swap optimization, some information of the swapped out THP (such as compound map count) will be recorded in the swap_cluster_info data structure. The mem cgroup swap accounting functions are enhanced to support charge or uncharge a swap cluster backing a THP as a whole. The swap cluster allocate/free functions are added to allocate/free a swap cluster for a THP. A fair simple algorithm is used for swap cluster allocation, that is, only the first swap device in priority list will be tried to allocate the swap cluster. The function will fail if the trying is not successful, and the caller will fallback to allocate a single swap slot instead. This works good enough for normal cases. If the difference of the number of the free swap clusters among multiple swap devices is significant, it is possible that some THPs are split earlier than necessary. For example, this could be caused by big size difference among multiple swap devices. The swap cache functions is enhanced to support add/delete THP to/from the swap cache as a set of (HPAGE_PMD_NR) sub-pages. This may be enhanced in the future with multi-order radix tree. But because we will split the THP soon during swapping out, that optimization doesn't make much sense for this first step. The THP splitting functions are enhanced to support to split THP in swap cache during swapping out. The page lock will be held during allocating the swap cluster, adding the THP into the swap cache and splitting the THP. So in the code path other than swapping out, if the THP need to be split, the PageSwapCache(THP) will be always false. The swap cluster is only available for SSD, so the THP swap optimization in this patchset has no effect for HDD.

mm: cleancache core ops functions and config This third patch of eight in this cleancache series provides the core code for cleancache that interfaces between the hooks in VFS and individual filesystems and a cleancache backend. It also includes build and config patches. Two new files are added: mm/cleancache.c and include/linux/cleancache.h. Note that CONFIG_CLEANCACHE can default to on; in systems that do not provide a cleancache backend, all hooks devolve to a simple check of a global enable flag, so performance impact should be negligible but can be reduced to zero impact if config'ed off. However for this first commit, it defaults to off.

CMA reserves a region of memory and allows only movable pages to

They have their own code to manage CMA reserved area even if they looks really similar. From my guess, it is caused by some needs on bitmap management. KVM side wants to maintain bitmap not for 1 page, but for more size. Eventually it use bitmap where one bit represents 64 pages. When I implement CMA related patches, I should change those two places to apply my change and it seem to be painful to me. I want to change this situation and reduce future code management overhead through this patch. This change could also help developer who want to use CMA in their new feature development, since they can use CMA easily without copying & pasting this reserved area management code. In previous patches, we have prepared some features to generalize CMA reserved area management and now it's time to do it. This patch moves core functions to mm/cma.c and change DMA APIs to use these functions. There is no functional change in DMA APIs.

While this design limits storage density, it has simple and deterministic reclaim properties that make it preferable to a higher density approach when reclaim will be used. zbud works by storing compressed pages, or "zpages", together in pairs in a single memory page called a "zbud page". The first buddy is "left justifed" at the beginning of the zbud page, and the last buddy is "right justified" at the end of the zbud page.

The ratio of zpages to zbud pages can not be less than 1. This ensures that zbud can never "do harm" by using more pages to store zpages than the uncompressed zpages would have used on their own. This implementation is a rewrite of the zbud allocator internally used by zcache in the driver/staging tree. The rewrite was necessary to remove some of the zcache specific elements that were ingrained throughout and provide a generic allocation interface that can later be used by zsmalloc and others.

mm: don't allow deferred pages with NEED_PER_CPU_KM It is unsafe to do virtual to physical translations before mm_init() is called if struct page is needed in order to determine the memory section number (see SECTION_IN_PAGE_FLAGS). This is because only in mm_init() we initialize struct pages for all the allocated memory when deferred struct pages are used. My recent fix in commit c9e97a1997 ("mm: initialize pages on demand during boot") exposed this problem, because it greatly reduced number of pages that are initialized before mm_init(), but the problem existed even before my fix, as Fengguang Wu found. Below is a more detailed explanation of the problem. We initialize struct pages in four places: 1. Early in boot a small set of struct pages is initialized to fill the first section, and lower zones. 2. During mm_init() we initialize "struct pages" for all the memory that is allocated, i.e reserved in memblock. 3. Using on-demand logic when pages are allocated after mm_init call (when memblock is finished) 4. After smp_init() when the rest free deferred pages are initialized. The problem occurs if we try to do va to phys translation of a memory between steps 1 and 2. Because we have not yet initialized struct pages for all the reserved pages, it is inherently unsafe to do va to phys if the translation itself requires access of "struct page" as in case of this combination: CONFIG_SPARSE && !CONFIG_SPARSE_VMEMMAP The following path exposes the problem: start_kernel() trap_init() setup_cpu_entry_areas() setup_cpu_entry_area(cpu) get_cpu_gdt_paddr(cpu) per_cpu_ptr_to_phys(addr) pcpu_addr_to_page(addr) virt_to_page(addr) pfn_to_page(__pa(addr) >> PAGE_SHIFT) We disable this path by not allowing NEED_PER_CPU_KM with deferred struct pages feature.

mm: parallelize deferred_init_memmap() Deferred struct page init is a significant bottleneck in kernel boot. Optimizing it maximizes availability for large-memory systems and allows spinning up short-lived VMs as needed without having to leave them running. It also benefits bare metal machines hosting VMs that are sensitive to downtime. In projects such as VMM Fast Restart[1], where guest state is preserved across kexec reboot, it helps prevent application and network timeouts in the guests. Multithread to take full advantage of system memory bandwidth. The maximum number of threads is capped at the number of CPUs on the node because speedups always improve with additional threads on every system tested, and at this phase of boot, the system is otherwise idle and waiting on page init to finish. Helper threads operate on section-aligned ranges to both avoid false sharing when setting the pageblock's migrate type and to avoid accessing uninitialized buddy pages, though max order alignment is enough for the latter.

Ordinarily all struct pages are initialised during early boot in a
single thread. On very large machines this can take a considerable
amount of time. If this option is set, large machines will bring up
mm: parallelize deferred_init_memmap() Deferred struct page init is a significant bottleneck in kernel boot. Optimizing it maximizes availability for large-memory systems and allows spinning up short-lived VMs as needed without having to leave them running. It also benefits bare metal machines hosting VMs that are sensitive to downtime. In projects such as VMM Fast Restart[1], where guest state is preserved across kexec reboot, it helps prevent application and network timeouts in the guests. Multithread to take full advantage of system memory bandwidth. The maximum number of threads is capped at the number of CPUs on the node because speedups always improve with additional threads on every system tested, and at this phase of boot, the system is otherwise idle and waiting on page init to finish. Helper threads operate on section-aligned ranges to both avoid false sharing when setting the pageblock's migrate type and to avoid accessing uninitialized buddy pages, though max order alignment is enough for the latter. The minimum chunk size is also a section. There was benefit to using multiple threads even on relatively small memory (1G) systems, and this is the smallest size that the alignment allows. The time (milliseconds) is the slowest node to initialize since boot blocks until all nodes finish. intel_pstate is loaded in active mode without hwp and with turbo enabled, and intel_idle is active as well.

mm/idle_page_tracking: make PG_idle reusable PG_idle and PG_young allow the two PTE Accessed bit users, Idle Page Tracking and the reclaim logic concurrently work while not interfering with each other. That is, when they need to clear the Accessed bit, they set PG_young to represent the previous state of the bit, respectively. And when they need to read the bit, if the bit is cleared, they further read the PG_young to know whether the other has cleared the bit meanwhile or not. For yet another user of the PTE Accessed bit, we could add another page flag, or extend the mechanism to use the flags. For the DAMON usecase, however, we don't need to do that just yet. IDLE_PAGE_TRACKING and DAMON are mutually exclusive, so there's only ever going to be one user of the current set of flags. In this commit, we split out the CONFIG options to allow for the use of PG_young and PG_idle outside of idle page tracking. In the next commit, DAMON's reference implementation of the virtual memory address space monitoring primitives will use it.

This adds PG_idle and PG_young flags to 'struct page'. PTE Accessed
bit writers can set the state of the bit in the flags so that PTE
Accessed bit readers may avoid disturbance.
mm: introduce idle page tracking 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.

mm/idle_page_tracking: make PG_idle reusable PG_idle and PG_young allow the two PTE Accessed bit users, Idle Page Tracking and the reclaim logic concurrently work while not interfering with each other. That is, when they need to clear the Accessed bit, they set PG_young to represent the previous state of the bit, respectively. And when they need to read the bit, if the bit is cleared, they further read the PG_young to know whether the other has cleared the bit meanwhile or not. For yet another user of the PTE Accessed bit, we could add another page flag, or extend the mechanism to use the flags. For the DAMON usecase, however, we don't need to do that just yet. IDLE_PAGE_TRACKING and DAMON are mutually exclusive, so there's only ever going to be one user of the current set of flags. In this commit, we split out the CONFIG options to allow for the use of PG_young and PG_idle outside of idle page tracking. In the next commit, DAMON's reference implementation of the virtual memory address space monitoring primitives will use it.

mm: introduce idle page tracking 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.

config ARCH_HAS_CACHE_LINE_SIZE
bool
usercopy: Check valid lifetime via stack depth One of the things that CONFIG_HARDENED_USERCOPY sanity-checks is whether an object that is about to be copied to/from userspace is overlapping the stack at all. If it is, it performs a number of inexpensive bounds checks. One of the finer-grained checks is whether an object crosses stack frames within the stack region. Doing this on x86 with CONFIG_FRAME_POINTER was cheap/easy. Doing it with ORC was deemed too heavy, and was left out (a while ago), leaving the courser whole-stack check. The LKDTM tests USERCOPY_STACK_FRAME_TO and USERCOPY_STACK_FRAME_FROM try to exercise these cross-frame cases to validate the defense is working. They have been failing ever since ORC was added (which was expected). While Muhammad was investigating various LKDTM failures[1], he asked me for additional details on them, and I realized that when exact stack frame boundary checking is not available (i.e. everything except x86 with FRAME_POINTER), it could check if a stack object is at least "current depth valid", in the sense that any object within the stack region but not between start-of-stack and current_stack_pointer should be considered unavailable (i.e. its lifetime is from a call no longer present on the stack). Introduce ARCH_HAS_CURRENT_STACK_POINTER to track which architectures have actually implemented the common global register alias. Additionally report usercopy bounds checking failures with an offset from current_stack_pointer, which may assist with diagnosing failures. The LKDTM USERCOPY_STACK_FRAME_TO and USERCOPY_STACK_FRAME_FROM tests (once slightly adjusted in a separate patch) pass again with this fixed.

mm/ZONE_DEVICE: new type of ZONE_DEVICE for unaddressable memory HMM (heterogeneous memory management) need struct page to support migration from system main memory to device memory. Reasons for HMM and migration to device memory is explained with HMM core patch. This patch deals with device memory that is un-addressable memory (ie CPU can not access it). Hence we do not want those struct page to be manage like regular memory. That is why we extend ZONE_DEVICE to support different types of memory. A persistent memory type is define for existing user of ZONE_DEVICE and a new device un-addressable type is added for the un-addressable memory type. There is a clear separation between what is expected from each memory type and existing user of ZONE_DEVICE are un-affected by new requirement and new use of the un-addressable type. All specific code path are protect with test against the memory type. Because memory is un-addressable we use a new special swap type for when a page is migrated to device memory (this reduces the number of maximum swap file). The main two additions beside memory type to ZONE_DEVICE is two callbacks. First one, page_free() is call whenever page refcount reach 1 (which means the page is free as ZONE_DEVICE page never reach a refcount of 0). This allow device driver to manage its memory and associated struct page. The second callback page_fault() happens when there is a CPU access to an address that is back by a device page (which are un-addressable by the CPU). This callback is responsible to migrate the page back to system main memory. Device driver can not block migration back to system memory, HMM make sure that such page can not be pin into device memory. If device is in some error condition and can not migrate memory back then a CPU page fault to device memory should end with SIGBUS.

resource: Introduce alloc_free_mem_region() The core of devm_request_free_mem_region() is a helper that searches for free space in iomem_resource and performs __request_region_locked() on the result of that search. The policy choices of the implementation conform to what CONFIG_DEVICE_PRIVATE users want which is memory that is immediately marked busy, and a preference to search for the first-fit free range in descending order from the top of the physical address space. CXL has a need for a similar allocator, but with the following tweaks: 1/ Search for free space in ascending order 2/ Search for free space relative to a given CXL window 3/ 'insert' rather than 'request' the new resource given downstream drivers from the CXL Region driver (like the pmem or dax drivers) are responsible for request_mem_region() when they activate the memory range.

mm/ZONE_DEVICE: new type of ZONE_DEVICE for unaddressable memory HMM (heterogeneous memory management) need struct page to support migration from system main memory to device memory. Reasons for HMM and migration to device memory is explained with HMM core patch. This patch deals with device memory that is un-addressable memory (ie CPU can not access it). Hence we do not want those struct page to be manage like regular memory. That is why we extend ZONE_DEVICE to support different types of memory. A persistent memory type is define for existing user of ZONE_DEVICE and a new device un-addressable type is added for the un-addressable memory type. There is a clear separation between what is expected from each memory type and existing user of ZONE_DEVICE are un-affected by new requirement and new use of the un-addressable type. All specific code path are protect with test against the memory type. Because memory is un-addressable we use a new special swap type for when a page is migrated to device memory (this reduces the number of maximum swap file). The main two additions beside memory type to ZONE_DEVICE is two callbacks. First one, page_free() is call whenever page refcount reach 1 (which means the page is free as ZONE_DEVICE page never reach a refcount of 0). This allow device driver to manage its memory and associated struct page. The second callback page_fault() happens when there is a CPU access to an address that is back by a device page (which are un-addressable by the CPU). This callback is responsible to migrate the page back to system main memory. Device driver can not block migration back to system memory, HMM make sure that such page can not be pin into device memory. If device is in some error condition and can not migrate memory back then a CPU page fault to device memory should end with SIGBUS.

resource: Introduce alloc_free_mem_region() The core of devm_request_free_mem_region() is a helper that searches for free space in iomem_resource and performs __request_region_locked() on the result of that search. The policy choices of the implementation conform to what CONFIG_DEVICE_PRIVATE users want which is memory that is immediately marked busy, and a preference to search for the first-fit free range in descending order from the top of the physical address space. CXL has a need for a similar allocator, but with the following tweaks: 1/ Search for free space in ascending order 2/ Search for free space relative to a given CXL window 3/ 'insert' rather than 'request' the new resource given downstream drivers from the CXL Region driver (like the pmem or dax drivers) are responsible for request_mem_region() when they activate the memory range. Rework __request_free_mem_region() into get_free_mem_region() which takes a set of GFR_* (Get Free Region) flags to control the allocation policy (ascending vs descending), and "busy" policy (insert_resource() vs request_region()).

mm/gup_benchmark: rename to mm/gup_test Patch series "selftests/vm: gup_test, hmm-tests, assorted improvements", v3. Summary: This series provides two main things, and a number of smaller supporting goodies. The two main points are: 1) Add a new sub-test to gup_test, which in turn is a renamed version of gup_benchmark. This sub-test allows nicer testing of dump_pages(), at least on user-space pages. For quite a while, I was doing a quick hack to gup_test.c whenever I wanted to try out changes to dump_page(). Then Matthew Wilcox asked me what I meant when I said "I used my dump_page() unit test", and I realized that it might be nice to check in a polished up version of that. Details about how it works and how to use it are in the commit description for patch #6 ("selftests/vm: gup_test: introduce the dump_pages() sub-test"). 2) Fixes a limitation of hmm-tests: these tests are incredibly useful, but only if people actually build and run them. And it turns out that libhugetlbfs is a little too effective at throwing a wrench in the works, there. So I've added a little configuration check that removes just two of the 21 hmm-tests, if libhugetlbfs is not available. Further details in the commit description of patch #8 ("selftests/vm: hmm-tests: remove the libhugetlbfs dependency"). Other smaller things that this series does: a) Remove code duplication by creating gup_test.h. b) Clear up the sub-test organization, and their invocation within run_vmtests.sh. c) Other minor assorted improvements.

selftests/vm: gup_test: introduce the dump_pages() sub-test For quite a while, I was doing a quick hack to gup_test.c (previously, gup_benchmark.c) whenever I wanted to try out my changes to dump_page(). This makes that hack unnecessary, and instead allows anyone to easily get the same coverage from a user space program. That saves a lot of time because you don't have to change the kernel, in order to test different pages and options. The new sub-test takes advantage of the existing gup_test infrastructure, which already provides a simple user space program, some allocated user space pages, an ioctl call, pinning of those pages (via either get_user_pages or pin_user_pages) and a corresponding kernel-side test invocation. There's not much more required, mainly just a couple of inputs from the user. In fact, the new test re-uses the existing command line options in order to get various helpful combinations (THP or normal, _fast or slow gup, gup vs. pup, and more). New command line options are: which pages to dump, and what type of "get/pin" to use. In order to figure out which pages to dump, the logic is: * If the user doesn't specify anything, the page 0 (the first page in the address range that the program sets up for testing) is dumped. * Or, the user can type up to 8 page indices anywhere on the command line. If you type more than 8, then it uses the first 8 and ignores the remaining items. For example: ./gup_test -ct -F 1 0 19 0x1000 Meaning: -c: dump pages sub-test -t: use THP pages -F 1: use pin_user_pages() instead of get_user_pages() 0 19 0x1000: dump pages 0, 19, and 4096 Link: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20201026064021.3545418-7-jhubbard@nvidia.com Signed-off-by: John Hubbard <jhubbard@nvidia.com> Cc: Jérôme Glisse <jglisse@redhat.com> Cc: Jonathan Corbet <corbet@lwn.net> Cc: Ralph Campbell <rcampbell@nvidia.com> Cc: Shuah Khan <shuah@kernel.org> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

There is also a sub-test that allows running dump_page() on any
of up to eight pages (selected by command line args) within the
range of user-space addresses. These pages are either pinned via
pin_user_pages*(), or pinned via get_user_pages*(), as specified
by other command line arguments.

kmap_local: don't assume kmap PTEs are linear arrays in memory The kmap_local conversion broke the ARM architecture, because the new code assumes that all PTEs used for creating kmaps form a linear array in memory, and uses array indexing to look up the kmap PTE belonging to a certain kmap index. On ARM, this cannot work, not only because the PTE pages may be non-adjacent in memory, but also because ARM/!LPAE interleaves hardware entries and extended entries (carrying software-only bits) in a way that is not compatible with array indexing. Fortunately, this only seems to affect configurations with more than 8 CPUs, due to the way the per-CPU kmap slots are organized in memory. Work around this by permitting an architecture to set a Kconfig symbol that signifies that the kmap PTEs do not form a lineary array in memory, and so the only way to locate the appropriate one is to walk the page tables.

mm: introduce memfd_secret system call to create "secret" memory areas Introduce "memfd_secret" system call with the ability to create memory areas visible only in the context of the owning process and not mapped not only to other processes but in the kernel page tables as well. The secretmem feature is off by default and the user must explicitly enable it at the boot time. Once secretmem is enabled, the user will be able to create a file descriptor using the memfd_secret() system call. The memory areas created by mmap() calls from this file descriptor will be unmapped from the kernel direct map and they will be only mapped in the page table of the processes that have access to the file descriptor. Secretmem is designed to provide the following protections: * Enhanced protection (in conjunction with all the other in-kernel attack prevention systems) against ROP attacks. Seceretmem makes "simple" ROP insufficient to perform exfiltration, which increases the required complexity of the attack. Along with other protections like the kernel stack size limit and address space layout randomization which make finding gadgets is really hard, absence of any in-kernel primitive for accessing secret memory means the one gadget ROP attack can't work. Since the only way to access secret memory is to reconstruct the missing mapping entry, the attacker has to recover the physical page and insert a PTE pointing to it in the kernel and then retrieve the contents. That takes at least three gadgets which is a level of difficulty beyond most standard attacks. * Prevent cross-process secret userspace memory exposures. Once the secret memory is allocated, the user can't accidentally pass it into the kernel to be transmitted somewhere. The secreremem pages cannot be accessed via the direct map and they are disallowed in GUP. * Harden against exploited kernel flaws. In order to access secretmem, a kernel-side attack would need to either walk the page tables and create new ones, or spawn a new privileged uiserspace process to perform secrets exfiltration using ptrace. The file descriptor based memory has several advantages over the "traditional" mm interfaces, such as mlock(), mprotect(), madvise(). File descriptor approach allows explicit and controlled sharing of the memory areas, it allows to seal the operations. Besides, file descriptor based memory paves the way for VMMs to remove the secret memory range from the userspace hipervisor process, for instance QEMU. Andy Lutomirski says: "Getting fd-backed memory into a guest will take some possibly major work in the kernel, but getting vma-backed memory into a guest without mapping it in the host user address space seems much, much worse." memfd_secret() is made a dedicated system call rather than an extension to memfd_create() because it's purpose is to allow the user to create more secure memory mappings rather than to simply allow file based access to the memory. Nowadays a new system call cost is negligible while it is way simpler for userspace to deal with a clear-cut system calls than with a multiplexer or an overloaded syscall. Moreover, the initial implementation of memfd_secret() is completely distinct from memfd_create() so there is no much sense in overloading memfd_create() to begin with. If there will be a need for code sharing between these implementation it can be easily achieved without a need to adjust user visible APIs. The secret memory remains accessible in the process context using uaccess primitives, but it is not exposed to the kernel otherwise; secret memory areas are removed from the direct map and functions in the follow_page()/get_user_page() family will refuse to return a page that belongs to the secret memory area. Once there will be a use case that will require exposing secretmem to the kernel it will be an opt-in request in the system call flags so that user would have to decide what data can be exposed to the kernel. Removing of the pages from the direct map may cause its fragmentation on architectures that use large pages to map the physical memory which affects the system performance. However, the original Kconfig text for CONFIG_DIRECT_GBPAGES said that gigabyte pages in the direct map "... can improve the kernel's performance a tiny bit ..." (commit 00d1c5e05736 ("x86: add gbpages switches")) and the recent report [1] showed that "... although 1G mappings are a good default choice, there is no compelling evidence that it must be the only choice". Hence, it is sufficient to have secretmem disabled by default with the ability of a system administrator to enable it at boot time. Pages in the secretmem regions are unevictable and unmovable to avoid accidental exposure of the sensitive data via swap or during page migration. Since the secretmem mappings are locked in memory they cannot exceed RLIMIT_MEMLOCK. Since these mappings are already locked independently from mlock(), an attempt to mlock()/munlock() secretmem range would fail and mlockall()/munlockall() will ignore secretmem mappings. However, unlike mlock()ed memory, secretmem currently behaves more like long-term GUP: secretmem mappings are unmovable mappings directly consumed by user space. With default limits, there is no excessive use of secretmem and it poses no real problem in combination with ZONE_MOVABLE/CMA, but in the future this should be addressed to allow balanced use of large amounts of secretmem along with ZONE_MOVABLE/CMA. A page that was a part of the secret memory area is cleared when it is freed to ensure the data is not exposed to the next user of that page. The following example demonstrates creation of a secret mapping (error handling is omitted): fd = memfd_secret(0); ftruncate(fd, MAP_SIZE); ptr = mmap(NULL, MAP_SIZE, PROT_READ | PROT_WRITE, MAP_SHARED, fd, 0); [1] https://lore.kernel.org/linux-mm/213b4567-46ce-f116-9cdf-bbd0c884eb3c@linux.intel.com/ [akpm@linux-foundation.org: suppress Kconfig whine] Link: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20210518072034.31572-5-rppt@kernel.org Signed-off-by: Mike Rapoport <rppt@linux.ibm.com> Acked-by: Hagen Paul Pfeifer <hagen@jauu.net> Acked-by: James Bottomley <James.Bottomley@HansenPartnership.com> Cc: Alexander Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk> Cc: Andy Lutomirski <luto@kernel.org> Cc: Arnd Bergmann <arnd@arndb.de> Cc: Borislav Petkov <bp@alien8.de> Cc: Catalin Marinas <catalin.marinas@arm.com> Cc: Christopher Lameter <cl@linux.com> Cc: Dan Williams <dan.j.williams@intel.com> Cc: Dave Hansen <dave.hansen@linux.intel.com> Cc: Elena Reshetova <elena.reshetova@intel.com> Cc: "H.

mm: Kconfig: make config SECRETMEM visible with EXPERT Commit 6a108a14fa35 ("kconfig: rename CONFIG_EMBEDDED to CONFIG_EXPERT") introduces CONFIG_EXPERT to carry the previous intent of CONFIG_EMBEDDED and just gives that intent a much better name. That has been clearly a good and long overdue renaming, and it is clearly an improvement to the kernel build configuration that has shown to help managing the kernel build configuration in the last decade. However, rather than bravely and radically just deleting CONFIG_EMBEDDED, this commit gives CONFIG_EMBEDDED a new intended semantics, but keeps it open for future contributors to implement that intended semantics: A new CONFIG_EMBEDDED option is added that automatically selects CONFIG_EXPERT when enabled and can be used in the future to isolate options that should only be considered for embedded systems (RISC architectures, SLOB, etc). Since then, this CONFIG_EMBEDDED implicitly had two purposes: - It can make even more options visible beyond what CONFIG_EXPERT makes visible. In other words, it may introduce another level of enabling the visibility of configuration options: always visible, visible with CONFIG_EXPERT and visible with CONFIG_EMBEDDED. - Set certain default values of some configurations differently, following the assumption that configuring a kernel build for an embedded system generally starts with a different set of default values compared to kernel builds for all other kind of systems. Considering the second purpose, note that already probably arguing that a kernel build for an embedded system would choose some values differently is already tricky: the set of embedded systems with Linux kernels is already quite diverse. Many embedded system have powerful CPUs and it would not be clear that all embedded systems just optimize towards one specific aspect, e.g., a smaller kernel image size. So, it is unclear if starting with "one set of default configuration" that is induced by CONFIG_EMBEDDED is a good offer for developers configuring their kernels. Also, the differences of needed user-space features in an embedded system compared to a non-embedded system are probably difficult or even impossible to name in some generic way. So it is not surprising that in the last decade hardly anyone has contributed changes to make something default differently in case of CONFIG_EMBEDDED=y. Currently, in v6.0-rc4, SECRETMEM is the only config switched off if CONFIG_EMBEDDED=y. As long as that is actually the only option that currently is selected or deselected, it is better to just make SECRETMEM configurable at build time by experts using menuconfig instead. Make SECRETMEM configurable when EXPERT is set and otherwise default to yes. Further, SECRETMEM needs ARCH_HAS_SET_DIRECT_MAP. This allows us to remove CONFIG_EMBEDDED in the close future.

At a minimum there is libc malloc and the stack, and in many cases there are libc malloc, the stack, direct syscalls to mmap anonymous memory, and multiple VM heaps (one for small objects, one for big objects, etc.). Each of these layers usually has its own tools to inspect its usage; malloc by compiling a debug version, the VM through heap inspection tools, and for direct syscalls there is usually no way to track them. On Android we heavily use a set of tools that use an extended version of the logic covered in Documentation/vm/pagemap.txt to walk all pages mapped in userspace and slice their usage by process, shared (COW) vs. unique mappings, backing, etc. This can account for real physical memory usage even in cases like fork without exec (which Android uses heavily to share as many private COW pages as possible between processes), Kernel SamePage Merging, and clean zero pages. It produces a measurement of the pages that only exist in that process (USS, for unique), and a measurement of the physical memory usage of that process with the cost of shared pages being evenly split between processes that share them (PSS). If all anonymous memory is indistinguishable then figuring out the real physical memory usage (PSS) of each heap requires either a pagemap walking tool that can understand the heap debugging of every layer, or for every layer's heap debugging tools to implement the pagemap walking logic, in which case it is hard to get a consistent view of memory across the whole system. Tracking the information in userspace leads to all sorts of problems. It either needs to be stored inside the process, which means every process has to have an API to export its current heap information upon request, or it has to be stored externally in a filesystem that somebody needs to clean up on crashes. It needs to be readable while the process is still running, so it has to have some sort of synchronization with every layer of userspace. Efficiently tracking the ranges requires reimplementing something like the kernel vma trees, and linking to it from every layer of userspace. It requires more memory, more syscalls, more runtime cost, and more complexity to separately track regions that the kernel is already tracking. This patch adds a field to /proc/pid/maps and /proc/pid/smaps to show a userspace-provided name for anonymous vmas. The names of named anonymous vmas are shown in /proc/pid/maps and /proc/pid/smaps as [anon:<name>]. Userspace can set the name for a region of memory by calling prctl(PR_SET_VMA, PR_SET_VMA_ANON_NAME, start, len, (unsigned long)name) Setting the name to NULL clears it. The name length limit is 80 bytes including NUL-terminator and is checked to contain only printable ascii characters (including space), except '[',']','\','$' and '`'. Ascii strings are being used to have a descriptive identifiers for vmas, which can be understood by the users reading /proc/pid/maps or /proc/pid/smaps. Names can be standardized for a given system and they can include some variable parts such as the name of the allocator or a library, tid of the thread using it, etc. The name is stored in a pointer in the shared union in vm_area_struct that points to a null terminated string. Anonymous vmas with the same name (equivalent strings) and are otherwise mergeable will be merged. The name pointers are not shared between vmas even if they contain the same name. The name pointer is stored in a union with fields that are only used on file-backed mappings, so it does not increase memory usage. CONFIG_ANON_VMA_NAME kernel configuration is introduced to enable this feature. It keeps the feature disabled by default to prevent any additional memory overhead and to avoid confusing procfs parsers on systems which are not ready to support named anonymous vmas. The patch is based on the original patch developed by Colin Cross, more specifically on its latest version [1] posted upstream by Sumit Semwal. It used a userspace pointer to store vma names. In that design, name pointers could be shared between vmas. However during the last upstreaming attempt, Kees Cook raised concerns [2] about this approach and suggested to copy the name into kernel memory space, perform validity checks [3] and store as a string referenced from vm_area_struct. One big concern is about fork() performance which would need to strdup anonymous vma names. Dave Hansen suggested experimenting with worst-case scenario of forking a process with 64k vmas having longest possible names [4]. I ran this experiment on an ARM64 Android device and recorded a worst-case regression of almost 40% when forking such a process. This regression is addressed in the followup patch which replaces the pointer to a name with a refcounted structure that allows sharing the name pointer between vmas of the same name. Instead of duplicating the string during fork() or when splitting a vma it increments the refcount.

Note that assigning an attribute to a virtual memory area might prevent it from being merged with adjacent virtual memory areas due to the difference in that attribute's value. Currently, arg2 must be one of: PR_SET_VMA_ANON_NAME Set a name for anonymous virtual memory areas. arg5 should be a pointer to a null-terminated string containing the name. The name length including null byte cannot exceed 80 bytes. If arg5 is NULL, the name of the appropriate anonymous virtual memory areas will be reset. The name can contain only printable ascii characters (including space), except '[',']','\','$' and '`'.

mm: multi-gen LRU: minimal implementation To avoid confusion, the terms "promotion" and "demotion" will be applied to the multi-gen LRU, as a new convention; the terms "activation" and "deactivation" will be applied to the active/inactive LRU, as usual. The aging produces young generations. Given an lruvec, it increments max_seq when max_seq-min_seq+1 approaches MIN_NR_GENS. The aging promotes hot pages to the youngest generation when it finds them accessed through page tables; the demotion of cold pages happens consequently when it increments max_seq. Promotion in the aging path does not involve any LRU list operations, only the updates of the gen counter and lrugen->nr_pages[]; demotion, unless as the result of the increment of max_seq, requires LRU list operations, e.g., lru_deactivate_fn(). The aging has the complexity O(nr_hot_pages), since it is only interested in hot pages. The eviction consumes old generations. Given an lruvec, it increments min_seq when lrugen->lists[] indexed by min_seq%MAX_NR_GENS becomes empty. A feedback loop modeled after the PID controller monitors refaults over anon and file types and decides which type to evict when both types are available from the same generation. The protection of pages accessed multiple times through file descriptors takes place in the eviction path. Each generation is divided into multiple tiers. A page accessed N times through file descriptors is in tier order_base_2(N). Tiers do not have dedicated lrugen->lists[], only bits in folio->flags. The aforementioned feedback loop also monitors refaults over all tiers and decides when to protect pages in which tiers (N>1), using the first tier (N=0,1) as a baseline. The first tier contains single-use unmapped clean pages, which are most likely the best choices. In contrast to promotion in the aging path, the protection of a page in the eviction path is achieved by moving this page to the next generation, i.e., min_seq+1, if the feedback loop decides so. This approach has the following advantages: 1. It removes the cost of activation in the buffered access path by inferring whether pages accessed multiple times through file descriptors are statistically hot and thus worth protecting in the eviction path. 2. It takes pages accessed through page tables into account and avoids overprotecting pages accessed multiple times through file descriptors. (Pages accessed through page tables are in the first tier, since N=0.) 3. More tiers provide better protection for pages accessed more than twice through file descriptors, when under heavy buffered I/O workloads.

# multi-gen LRU {
mm: multi-gen LRU: groundwork Evictable pages are divided into multiple generations for each lruvec. The youngest generation number is stored in lrugen->max_seq for both anon and file types as they are aged on an equal footing. The oldest generation numbers are stored in lrugen->min_seq[] separately for anon and file types as clean file pages can be evicted regardless of swap constraints. These three variables are monotonically increasing. Generation numbers are truncated into order_base_2(MAX_NR_GENS+1) bits in order to fit into the gen counter in folio->flags. Each truncated generation number is an index to lrugen->lists[]. The sliding window technique is used to track at least MIN_NR_GENS and at most MAX_NR_GENS generations. The gen counter stores a value within [1, MAX_NR_GENS] while a page is on one of lrugen->lists[]. Otherwise it stores 0. There are two conceptually independent procedures: "the aging", which produces young generations, and "the eviction", which consumes old generations. They form a closed-loop system, i.e., "the page reclaim". Both procedures can be invoked from userspace for the purposes of working set estimation and proactive reclaim. These techniques are commonly used to optimize job scheduling (bin packing) in data centers [1][2]. To avoid confusion, the terms "hot" and "cold" will be applied to the multi-gen LRU, as a new convention; the terms "active" and "inactive" will be applied to the active/inactive LRU, as usual. The protection of hot pages and the selection of cold pages are based on page access channels and patterns. There are two access channels: one through page tables and the other through file descriptors. The protection of the former channel is by design stronger because: 1. The uncertainty in determining the access patterns of the former channel is higher due to the approximation of the accessed bit. 2. The cost of evicting the former channel is higher due to the TLB flushes required and the likelihood of encountering the dirty bit. 3. The penalty of underprotecting the former channel is higher because applications usually do not prepare themselves for major page faults like they do for blocked I/O. E.g., GUI applications commonly use dedicated I/O threads to avoid blocking rendering threads. There are also two access patterns: one with temporal locality and the other without. For the reasons listed above, the former channel is assumed to follow the former pattern unless VM_SEQ_READ or VM_RAND_READ is present; the latter channel is assumed to follow the latter pattern unless outlying refaults have been observed [3][4]. The next patch will address the "outlying refaults". Three macros, i.e., LRU_REFS_WIDTH, LRU_REFS_PGOFF and LRU_REFS_MASK, used later are added in this patch to make the entire patchset less diffy. A page is added to the youngest generation on faulting. The aging needs to check the accessed bit at least twice before handing this page over to the eviction. The first check takes care of the accessed bit set on the initial fault; the second check makes sure this page has not been used since then. This protocol, AKA second chance, requires a minimum of two generations, hence MIN_NR_GENS.

A high performance LRU implementation to overcommit memory. See
Documentation/admin-guide/mm/multigen_lru.rst for details.
mm: multi-gen LRU: groundwork Evictable pages are divided into multiple generations for each lruvec. The youngest generation number is stored in lrugen->max_seq for both anon and file types as they are aged on an equal footing. The oldest generation numbers are stored in lrugen->min_seq[] separately for anon and file types as clean file pages can be evicted regardless of swap constraints. These three variables are monotonically increasing. Generation numbers are truncated into order_base_2(MAX_NR_GENS+1) bits in order to fit into the gen counter in folio->flags. Each truncated generation number is an index to lrugen->lists[]. The sliding window technique is used to track at least MIN_NR_GENS and at most MAX_NR_GENS generations. The gen counter stores a value within [1, MAX_NR_GENS] while a page is on one of lrugen->lists[]. Otherwise it stores 0. There are two conceptually independent procedures: "the aging", which produces young generations, and "the eviction", which consumes old generations. They form a closed-loop system, i.e., "the page reclaim". Both procedures can be invoked from userspace for the purposes of working set estimation and proactive reclaim. These techniques are commonly used to optimize job scheduling (bin packing) in data centers [1][2]. To avoid confusion, the terms "hot" and "cold" will be applied to the multi-gen LRU, as a new convention; the terms "active" and "inactive" will be applied to the active/inactive LRU, as usual. The protection of hot pages and the selection of cold pages are based on page access channels and patterns. There are two access channels: one through page tables and the other through file descriptors. The protection of the former channel is by design stronger because: 1. The uncertainty in determining the access patterns of the former channel is higher due to the approximation of the accessed bit. 2. The cost of evicting the former channel is higher due to the TLB flushes required and the likelihood of encountering the dirty bit. 3. The penalty of underprotecting the former channel is higher because applications usually do not prepare themselves for major page faults like they do for blocked I/O. E.g., GUI applications commonly use dedicated I/O threads to avoid blocking rendering threads. There are also two access patterns: one with temporal locality and the other without. For the reasons listed above, the former channel is assumed to follow the former pattern unless VM_SEQ_READ or VM_RAND_READ is present; the latter channel is assumed to follow the latter pattern unless outlying refaults have been observed [3][4]. The next patch will address the "outlying refaults". Three macros, i.e., LRU_REFS_WIDTH, LRU_REFS_PGOFF and LRU_REFS_MASK, used later are added in this patch to make the entire patchset less diffy. A page is added to the youngest generation on faulting. The aging needs to check the accessed bit at least twice before handing this page over to the eviction. The first check takes care of the accessed bit set on the initial fault; the second check makes sure this page has not been used since then. This protocol, AKA second chance, requires a minimum of two generations, hence MIN_NR_GENS.

mm: multi-gen LRU: kill switch Add /sys/kernel/mm/lru_gen/enabled as a kill switch. Components that can be disabled include: 0x0001: the multi-gen LRU core 0x0002: walking page table, when arch_has_hw_pte_young() returns true 0x0004: clearing the accessed bit in non-leaf PMD entries, when CONFIG_ARCH_HAS_NONLEAF_PMD_YOUNG=y [yYnN]: apply to all the components above E.g., echo y >/sys/kernel/mm/lru_gen/enabled cat /sys/kernel/mm/lru_gen/enabled 0x0007 echo 5 >/sys/kernel/mm/lru_gen/enabled cat /sys/kernel/mm/lru_gen/enabled 0x0005 NB: the page table walks happen on the scale of seconds under heavy memory pressure, in which case the mmap_lock contention is a lesser concern, compared with the LRU lock contention and the I/O congestion. So far the only well-known case of the mmap_lock contention happens on Android, due to Scudo [1] which allocates several thousand VMAs for merely a few hundred MBs. The SPF and the Maple Tree also have provided their own assessments [2][3]. However, if walking page tables does worsen the mmap_lock contention, the kill switch can be used to disable it. In this case the multi-gen LRU will suffer a minor performance degradation, as shown previously. Clearing the accessed bit in non-leaf PMD entries can also be disabled, since this behavior was not tested on x86 varieties other than Intel and AMD.

help
This option enables the multi-gen LRU by default.
mm: multi-gen LRU: minimal implementation To avoid confusion, the terms "promotion" and "demotion" will be applied to the multi-gen LRU, as a new convention; the terms "activation" and "deactivation" will be applied to the active/inactive LRU, as usual. The aging produces young generations. Given an lruvec, it increments max_seq when max_seq-min_seq+1 approaches MIN_NR_GENS. The aging promotes hot pages to the youngest generation when it finds them accessed through page tables; the demotion of cold pages happens consequently when it increments max_seq. Promotion in the aging path does not involve any LRU list operations, only the updates of the gen counter and lrugen->nr_pages[]; demotion, unless as the result of the increment of max_seq, requires LRU list operations, e.g., lru_deactivate_fn(). The aging has the complexity O(nr_hot_pages), since it is only interested in hot pages. The eviction consumes old generations. Given an lruvec, it increments min_seq when lrugen->lists[] indexed by min_seq%MAX_NR_GENS becomes empty. A feedback loop modeled after the PID controller monitors refaults over anon and file types and decides which type to evict when both types are available from the same generation. The protection of pages accessed multiple times through file descriptors takes place in the eviction path. Each generation is divided into multiple tiers. A page accessed N times through file descriptors is in tier order_base_2(N). Tiers do not have dedicated lrugen->lists[], only bits in folio->flags. The aforementioned feedback loop also monitors refaults over all tiers and decides when to protect pages in which tiers (N>1), using the first tier (N=0,1) as a baseline. The first tier contains single-use unmapped clean pages, which are most likely the best choices. In contrast to promotion in the aging path, the protection of a page in the eviction path is achieved by moving this page to the next generation, i.e., min_seq+1, if the feedback loop decides so. This approach has the following advantages: 1. It removes the cost of activation in the buffered access path by inferring whether pages accessed multiple times through file descriptors are statistically hot and thus worth protecting in the eviction path. 2. It takes pages accessed through page tables into account and avoids overprotecting pages accessed multiple times through file descriptors. (Pages accessed through page tables are in the first tier, since N=0.) 3. More tiers provide better protection for pages accessed more than twice through file descriptors, when under heavy buffered I/O workloads.

mm: introduce Data Access MONitor (DAMON) Patch series "Introduce Data Access MONitor (DAMON)", v34. Introduction ============ DAMON is a data access monitoring framework for the Linux kernel. The core mechanisms of DAMON called 'region based sampling' and 'adaptive regions adjustment' (refer to 'mechanisms.rst' in the 11th patch of this patchset for the detail) make it - accurate (The monitored information is useful for DRAM level memory management. It might not appropriate for Cache-level accuracy, though.), - light-weight (The monitoring overhead is low enough to be applied online while making no impact on the performance of the target workloads.), and - scalable (the upper-bound of the instrumentation overhead is controllable regardless of the size of target workloads.). Using this framework, therefore, several memory management mechanisms such as reclamation and THP can be optimized to aware real data access patterns. Experimental access pattern aware memory management optimization works that incurring high instrumentation overhead will be able to have another try. Though DAMON is for kernel subsystems, it can be easily exposed to the user space by writing a DAMON-wrapper kernel subsystem. Then, user space users who have some special workloads will be able to write personalized tools or applications for deeper understanding and specialized optimizations of their systems. DAMON is also merged in two public Amazon Linux kernel trees that based on v5.4.y[1] and v5.10.y[2]. [1] https://github.com/amazonlinux/linux/tree/amazon-5.4.y/master/mm/damon [2] https://github.com/amazonlinux/linux/tree/amazon-5.10.y/master/mm/damon The userspace tool[1] is available, released under GPLv2, and actively being maintained. I am also planning to implement another basic user interface in perf[2]. Also, the basic test suite for DAMON is available under GPLv2[3]. [1] https://github.com/awslabs/damo [2] https://lore.kernel.org/linux-mm/20210107120729.22328-1-sjpark@amazon.com/ [3] https://github.com/awslabs/damon-tests Long-term Plan -------------- DAMON is a part of a project called Data Access-aware Operating System (DAOS). As the name implies, I want to improve the performance and efficiency of systems using fine-grained data access patterns. The optimizations are for both kernel and user spaces. I will therefore modify or create kernel subsystems, export some of those to user space and implement user space library / tools. Below shows the layers and components for the project. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Primitives: PTE Accessed bit, PG_idle, rmap, (Intel CMT), ... Framework: DAMON Features: DAMOS, virtual addr, physical addr, ... Applications: DAMON-debugfs, (DARC), ... ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ KERNEL SPACE ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Raw Interface: debugfs, (sysfs), (damonfs), tracepoints, (sys_damon), ... vvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvv USER SPACE vvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvv Library: (libdamon), ... Tools: DAMO, (perf), ... --------------------------------------------------------------------------- The components in parentheses or marked as '...' are not implemented yet but in the future plan. IOW, those are the TODO tasks of DAOS project. For more detail, please refer to the plans: https://lore.kernel.org/linux-mm/20201202082731.24828-1-sjpark@amazon.com/ Evaluations =========== We evaluated DAMON's overhead, monitoring quality and usefulness using 24 realistic workloads on my QEMU/KVM based virtual machine running a kernel that v24 DAMON patchset is applied. DAMON is lightweight. It increases system memory usage by 0.39% and slows target workloads down by 1.16%. DAMON is accurate and useful for memory management optimizations. An experimental DAMON-based operation scheme for THP, namely 'ethp', removes 76.15% of THP memory overheads while preserving 51.25% of THP speedup. Another experimental DAMON-based 'proactive reclamation' implementation, 'prcl', reduces 93.38% of residential sets and 23.63% of system memory footprint while incurring only 1.22% runtime overhead in the best case (parsec3/freqmine). NOTE that the experimental THP optimization and proactive reclamation are not for production but only for proof of concepts. Please refer to the official document[1] or "Documentation/admin-guide/mm: Add a document for DAMON" patch in this patchset for detailed evaluation setup and results. [1] https://damonitor.github.io/doc/html/latest-damon/admin-guide/mm/damon/eval.html Real-world User Story ===================== In summary, DAMON has used on production systems and proved its usefulness. DAMON as a profiler ------------------- We analyzed characteristics of a large scale production systems of our customers using DAMON. The systems utilize 70GB DRAM and 36 CPUs. From this, we were able to find interesting things below. There were obviously different access pattern under idle workload and active workload. Under the idle workload, it accessed large memory regions with low frequency, while the active workload accessed small memory regions with high freuqnecy. DAMON found a 7GB memory region that showing obviously high access frequency under the active workload. We believe this is the performance-effective working set and need to be protected. There was a 4KB memory region that showing highest access frequency under not only active but also idle workloads. We think this must be a hottest code section like thing that should never be paged out. For this analysis, DAMON used only 0.3-1% of single CPU time. Because we used recording-based analysis, it consumed about 3-12 MB of disk space per 20 minutes. This is only small amount of disk space, but we can further reduce the disk usage by using non-recording-based DAMON features. I'd like to argue that only DAMON can do such detailed analysis (finding 4KB highest region in 70GB memory) with the light overhead. DAMON as a system optimization tool ----------------------------------- We also found below potential performance problems on the systems and made DAMON-based solutions. The system doesn't want to make the workload suffer from the page reclamation and thus it utilizes enough DRAM but no swap device. However, we found the system is actively reclaiming file-backed pages, because the system has intensive file IO. The file IO turned out to be not performance critical for the workload, but the customer wanted to ensure performance critical file-backed pages like code section to not mistakenly be evicted. Using direct IO should or `mlock()` would be a straightforward solution, but modifying the user space code is not easy for the customer. Alternatively, we could use DAMON-based operation scheme[1]. By using it, we can ask DAMON to track access frequency of each region and make 'process_madvise(MADV_WILLNEED)[2]' call for regions having specific size and access frequency for a time interval. We also found the system is having high number of TLB misses. We tried 'always' THP enabled policy and it greatly reduced TLB misses, but the page reclamation also been more frequent due to the THP internal fragmentation caused memory bloat. We could try another DAMON-based operation scheme that applies 'MADV_HUGEPAGE' to memory regions having >=2MB size and high access frequency, while applying 'MADV_NOHUGEPAGE' to regions having <2MB size and low access frequency. We do not own the systems so we only reported the analysis results and possible optimization solutions to the customers. The customers satisfied about the analysis results and promised to try the optimization guides. [1] https://lore.kernel.org/linux-mm/20201006123931.5847-1-sjpark@amazon.com/ [2] https://lore.kernel.org/linux-api/20200622192900.22757-4-minchan@kernel.org/ Comparison with Idle Page Tracking ================================== Idle Page Tracking allows users to set and read idleness of pages using a bitmap file which represents each page with each bit of the file. One recommended usage of it is working set size detection. Users can do that by 1. find PFN of each page for workloads in interest, 2. set all the pages as idle by doing writes to the bitmap file, 3. wait until the workload accesses its working set, and 4. read the idleness of the pages again and count pages became not idle. NOTE: While Idle Page Tracking is for user space users, DAMON is primarily designed for kernel subsystems though it can easily exposed to the user space. Hence, this section only assumes such user space use of DAMON. For what use cases Idle Page Tracking would be better? ------------------------------------------------------ 1. Flexible usecases other than hotness monitoring. Because Idle Page Tracking allows users to control the primitive (Page idleness) by themselves, Idle Page Tracking users can do anything they want. Meanwhile, DAMON is primarily designed to monitor the hotness of each memory region. For this, DAMON asks users to provide sampling interval and aggregation interval. For the reason, there could be some use case that using Idle Page Tracking is simpler. 2. Physical memory monitoring. Idle Page Tracking receives PFN range as input, so natively supports physical memory monitoring. DAMON is designed to be extensible for multiple address spaces and use cases by implementing and using primitives for the given use case. Therefore, by theory, DAMON has no limitation in the type of target address space as long as primitives for the given address space exists. However, the default primitives introduced by this patchset supports only virtual address spaces. Therefore, for physical memory monitoring, you should implement your own primitives and use it, or simply use Idle Page Tracking. Nonetheless, RFC patchsets[1] for the physical memory address space primitives is already available. It also supports user memory same to Idle Page Tracking. [1] https://lore.kernel.org/linux-mm/20200831104730.28970-1-sjpark@amazon.com/ For what use cases DAMON is better? ----------------------------------- 1. Hotness Monitoring. Idle Page Tracking let users know only if a page frame is accessed or not. For hotness check, the user should write more code and use more memory. DAMON do that by itself. 2. Low Monitoring Overhead DAMON receives user's monitoring request with one step and then provide the results. So, roughly speaking, DAMON require only O(1) user/kernel context switches. In case of Idle Page Tracking, however, because the interface receives contiguous page frames, the number of user/kernel context switches increases as the monitoring target becomes complex and huge. As a result, the context switch overhead could be not negligible. Moreover, DAMON is born to handle with the monitoring overhead. Because the core mechanism is pure logical, Idle Page Tracking users might be able to implement the mechanism on their own, but it would be time consuming and the user/kernel context switching will still more frequent than that of DAMON. Also, the kernel subsystems cannot use the logic in this case. 3. Page granularity working set size detection. Until v22 of this patchset, this was categorized as the thing Idle Page Tracking could do better, because DAMON basically maintains additional metadata for each of the monitoring target regions. So, in the page granularity working set size detection use case, DAMON would incur (number of monitoring target pages * size of metadata) memory overhead. Size of the single metadata item is about 54 bytes, so assuming 4KB pages, about 1.3% of monitoring target pages will be additionally used. All essential metadata for Idle Page Tracking are embedded in 'struct page' and page table entries. Therefore, in this use case, only one counter variable for working set size accounting is required if Idle Page Tracking is used. There are more details to consider, but roughly speaking, this is true in most cases. However, the situation changed from v23. Now DAMON supports arbitrary types of monitoring targets, which don't use the metadata. Using that, DAMON can do the working set size detection with no additional space overhead but less user-kernel context switch. A first draft for the implementation of monitoring primitives for this usage is available in a DAMON development tree[1]. An RFC patchset for it based on this patchset will also be available soon. Since v24, the arbitrary type support is dropped from this patchset because this patchset doesn't introduce real use of the type. You can still get it from the DAMON development tree[2], though. [1] https://github.com/sjp38/linux/tree/damon/pgidle_hack [2] https://github.com/sjp38/linux/tree/damon/master 4. More future usecases While Idle Page Tracking has tight coupling with base primitives (PG_Idle and page table Accessed bits), DAMON is designed to be extensible for many use cases and address spaces. If you need some special address type or want to use special h/w access check primitives, you can write your own primitives for that and configure DAMON to use those. Therefore, if your use case could be changed a lot in future, using DAMON could be better. Can I use both Idle Page Tracking and DAMON? -------------------------------------------- Yes, though using them concurrently for overlapping memory regions could result in interference to each other. Nevertheless, such use case would be rare or makes no sense at all. Even in the case, the noise would bot be really significant. So, you can choose whatever you want depending on the characteristics of your use cases. More Information ================ We prepared a showcase web site[1] that you can get more information.

For example: $ git clone https://github.com/sjp38/damon-patches && cd damon-patches $ diff -u damon/v33 damon/v34 Sequence Of Patches =================== First three patches implement the core logics of DAMON. The 1st patch introduces basic sampling based hotness monitoring for arbitrary types of targets. Following two patches implement the core mechanisms for control of overhead and accuracy, namely regions based sampling (patch 2) and adaptive regions adjustment (patch 3). Now the essential parts of DAMON is complete, but it cannot work unless someone provides monitoring primitives for a specific use case. The following two patches make it just work for virtual address spaces monitoring. The 4th patch makes 'PG_idle' can be used by DAMON and the 5th patch implements the virtual memory address space specific monitoring primitives using page table Accessed bits and the 'PG_idle' page flag. Now DAMON just works for virtual address space monitoring via the kernel space api. To let the user space users can use DAMON, following four patches add interfaces for them. The 6th patch adds a tracepoint for monitoring results. The 7th patch implements a DAMON application kernel module, namely damon-dbgfs, that simply wraps DAMON and exposes DAMON interface to the user space via the debugfs interface. The 8th patch further exports pid of monitoring thread (kdamond) to user space for easier cpu usage accounting, and the 9th patch makes the debugfs interface to support multiple contexts. Three patches for maintainability follows. The 10th patch adds documentations for both the user space and the kernel space. The 11th patch provides unit tests (based on the kunit) while the 12th patch adds user space tests (based on the kselftest). Finally, the last patch (13th) updates the MAINTAINERS file. This patch (of 13): DAMON is a data access monitoring framework for the Linux kernel. The core mechanisms of DAMON make it - accurate (the monitoring output is useful enough for DRAM level performance-centric memory management; It might be inappropriate for CPU cache levels, though), - light-weight (the monitoring overhead is normally low enough to be applied online), and - scalable (the upper-bound of the overhead is in constant range regardless of the size of target workloads). Using this framework, hence, we can easily write efficient kernel space data access monitoring applications. For example, the kernel's memory management mechanisms can make advanced decisions using this. Experimental data access aware optimization works that incurring high access monitoring overhead could again be implemented on top of this. Due to its simple and flexible interface, providing user space interface would be also easy. Then, user space users who have some special workloads can write personalized applications for better understanding and optimizations of their workloads and systems. === Nevertheless, this commit is defining and implementing only basic access check part without the overhead-accuracy handling core logic. The basic access check is as below. The output of DAMON says what memory regions are how frequently accessed for a given duration. The resolution of the access frequency is controlled by setting ``sampling interval`` and ``aggregation interval``. In detail, DAMON checks access to each page per ``sampling interval`` and aggregates the results. In other words, counts the number of the accesses to each region. After each ``aggregation interval`` passes, DAMON calls callback functions that previously registered by users so that users can read the aggregated results and then clears the results. This can be described in below simple pseudo-code:: init() while monitoring_on: for page in monitoring_target: if accessed(page): nr_accesses[page] += 1 if time() % aggregation_interval == 0: for callback in user_registered_callbacks: callback(monitoring_target, nr_accesses) for page in monitoring_target: nr_accesses[page] = 0 if time() % update_interval == 0: update() sleep(sampling interval) The target regions constructed at the beginning of the monitoring and updated after each ``regions_update_interval``, because the target regions could be dynamically changed (e.g., mmap() or memory hotplug). The monitoring overhead of this mechanism will arbitrarily increase as the size of the target workload grows. The basic monitoring primitives for actual access check and dynamic target regions construction aren't in the core part of DAMON. Instead, it allows users to implement their own primitives that are optimized for their use case and configure DAMON to use those. In other words, users cannot use current version of DAMON without some additional works. Following commits will implement the core mechanisms for the overhead-accuracy control and default primitives implementations.
