- New user_events interface. User space can register an event with the kernel
describing the format of the event. Then it will receive a byte in a page
mapping that it can check against. A privileged task can then enable that
event like any other event, which will change the mapped byte to true,
telling the user space application to start writing the event to the
tracing buffer.
- Add new "ftrace_boot_snapshot" kernel command line parameter. When set,
the tracing buffer will be saved in the snapshot buffer at boot up when
the kernel hands things over to user space. This will keep the traces that
happened at boot up available even if user space boot up has tracing as
well.
- Have TRACE_EVENT_ENUM() also update trace event field type descriptions.
Thus if a static array defines its size with an enum, the user space trace
event parsers can still know how to parse that array.
- Add new TRACE_CUSTOM_EVENT() macro. This acts the same as the
TRACE_EVENT() macro, but will attach to an existing tracepoint. This will
make one tracepoint be able to trace different content and not be stuck at
only what the original TRACE_EVENT() macro exports.
- Fixes to tracing error logging.
- Better saving of cmdlines to PIDs when tracing (use the wakeup events for
mapping).

This commit links the DAMON sysfs interface to DAMON so that users can
control DAMON via the interface. In detail, this commit makes writing
'on' to 'state' file constructs DAMON contexts based on values that users
have written to relevant sysfs files and start the context. It supports
only virtual address spaces monitoring at the moment, though.
The files hierarchy of DAMON sysfs interface after this commit is shown
below. In the below figure, parents-children relations are represented
with indentations, each directory is having ``/`` suffix, and files in
each directory are separated by comma (",").
/sys/kernel/mm/damon/admin
│ kdamonds/nr_kdamonds
│ │ 0/state,pid
│ │ │ contexts/nr_contexts
│ │ │ │ 0/operations
│ │ │ │ │ monitoring_attrs/
│ │ │ │ │ │ intervals/sample_us,aggr_us,update_us
│ │ │ │ │ │ nr_regions/min,max
│ │ │ │ │ targets/nr_targets
│ │ │ │ │ │ 0/pid_target
│ │ │ │ │ │ ...
│ │ │ │ ...
│ │ ...
The usage is straightforward. Writing a number ('N') to each 'nr_*' file
makes directories named '0' to 'N-1'. Users can construct DAMON contexts
by writing proper values to the files in the straightforward manner and
start each kdamond by writing 'on' to 'kdamonds/<N>/state'.

DAMON's debugfs-based user interface served very well, so far. However,
it unnecessarily depends on debugfs, while DAMON is not aimed to be used
for only debugging. Also, the interface receives multiple values via one
file. For example, schemes file receives 18 values separated by white
spaces. As a result, it is ineffient, hard to be used, and difficult to
be extended. Especially, keeping backward compatibility of user space
tools is getting only challenging. It would be better to implement
another reliable and flexible interface and deprecate the debugfs
interface in long term.
To this end, this commit implements a stub of a part of the new user
interface of DAMON using sysfs. Specifically, this commit implements the
sysfs control parts for virtual address space monitoring.
More specifically, the idea of the new interface is, using directory
hierarchies and making one file for one value. The hierarchy that this
commit is introducing is as below. In the below figure, parents-children
relations are represented with indentations, each directory is having
``/`` suffix, and files in each directory are separated by comma (",").
/sys/kernel/mm/damon/admin
│ kdamonds/nr_kdamonds
│ │ 0/state,pid
│ │ │ contexts/nr_contexts
│ │ │ │ 0/operations
│ │ │ │ │ monitoring_attrs/
│ │ │ │ │ │ intervals/sample_us,aggr_us,update_us
│ │ │ │ │ │ nr_regions/min,max
│ │ │ │ │ targets/nr_targets
│ │ │ │ │ │ 0/pid_target
│ │ │ │ │ │ ...
│ │ │ │ ...
│ │ ...
Writing a number <N> to each 'nr' file makes directories of name <0> to
<N-1> in the directory of the 'nr' file. That's all this commit does.
Writing proper values to relevant files will construct the DAMON contexts,
and writing a special keyword, 'on', to 'state' files for each kdamond
will ask DAMON to start the constructed contexts.
For a short example, using below commands for monitoring virtual address
spaces of a given workload is imaginable:
# cd /sys/kernel/mm/damon/admin/
# echo 1 > kdamonds/nr_kdamonds
# echo 1 > kdamonds/0/contexts/nr_contexts
# echo vaddr > kdamonds/0/contexts/0/operations
# echo 1 > kdamonds/0/contexts/0/targets/nr_targets
# echo $(pidof <workload>) > kdamonds/0/contexts/0/targets/0/pid_target
# echo on > kdamonds/0/state
Please note that this commit is implementing only the sysfs part stub as
abovely mentioned. This commit doesn't implement the special keywords for
'state' files. Following commits will do that.

Patch series "Introduce DAMON sysfs interface", v3.
Introduction
============
DAMON's debugfs-based user interface (DAMON_DBGFS) served very well, so
far. However, it unnecessarily depends on debugfs, while DAMON is not
aimed to be used for only debugging. Also, the interface receives
multiple values via one file. For example, schemes file receives 18
values. As a result, it is inefficient, hard to be used, and difficult to
be extended. Especially, keeping backward compatibility of user space
tools is getting only challenging. It would be better to implement
another reliable and flexible interface and deprecate DAMON_DBGFS in long
term.
For the reason, this patchset introduces a sysfs-based new user interface
of DAMON. The idea of the new interface is, using directory hierarchies
and having one dedicated file for each value. For a short example, users
can do the virtual address monitoring via the interface as below:
# cd /sys/kernel/mm/damon/admin/
# echo 1 > kdamonds/nr_kdamonds
# echo 1 > kdamonds/0/contexts/nr_contexts
# echo vaddr > kdamonds/0/contexts/0/operations
# echo 1 > kdamonds/0/contexts/0/targets/nr_targets
# echo $(pidof <workload>) > kdamonds/0/contexts/0/targets/0/pid_target
# echo on > kdamonds/0/state
A brief representation of the files hierarchy of DAMON sysfs interface is
as below. Childs are represented with indentation, directories are having
'/' suffix, and files in each directory are separated by comma.
/sys/kernel/mm/damon/admin
│ kdamonds/nr_kdamonds
│ │ 0/state,pid
│ │ │ contexts/nr_contexts
│ │ │ │ 0/operations

Detailed usage of the files will be described in the final Documentation
patch of this patchset.
Main Difference Between DAMON_DBGFS and DAMON_SYSFS
---------------------------------------------------
At the moment, DAMON_DBGFS and DAMON_SYSFS provides same features. One
important difference between them is their exclusiveness. DAMON_DBGFS
works in an exclusive manner, so that no DAMON worker thread (kdamond) in
the system can run concurrently and interfere somehow. For the reason,
DAMON_DBGFS asks users to construct all monitoring contexts and start them
at once. It's not a big problem but makes the operation a little bit
complex and unflexible.
For more flexible usage, DAMON_SYSFS moves the responsibility of
preventing any possible interference to the admins and work in a
non-exclusive manner. That is, users can configure and start contexts one
by one. Note that DAMON respects both exclusive groups and non-exclusive
groups of contexts, in a manner similar to that of reader-writer locks.
That is, if any exclusive monitoring contexts (e.g., contexts that started
via DAMON_DBGFS) are running, DAMON_SYSFS does not start new contexts, and
vice versa.
Future Plan of DAMON_DBGFS Deprecation
======================================
Once this patchset is merged, DAMON_DBGFS development will be frozen.
That is, we will maintain it to work as is now so that no users will be
break. But, it will not be extended to provide any new feature of DAMON.
The support will be continued only until next LTS release. After that, we
will drop DAMON_DBGFS.
User-space Tooling Compatibility
--------------------------------
As DAMON_SYSFS provides all features of DAMON_DBGFS, all user space
tooling can move to DAMON_SYSFS. As we will continue supporting
DAMON_DBGFS until next LTS kernel release, user space tools would have
enough time to move to DAMON_SYSFS.
The official user space tool, damo[1], is already supporting both
DAMON_SYSFS and DAMON_DBGFS. Both correctness tests[2] and performance
tests[3] of DAMON using DAMON_SYSFS also passed.

Sequence of Patches
===================
First two patches (patches 1-2) make core changes for DAMON_SYSFS. The
first one (patch 1) allows non-exclusive DAMON contexts so that
DAMON_SYSFS can work in non-exclusive mode, while the second one (patch 2)
adds size of DAMON enum types so that DAMON API users can safely iterate
the enums.
Third patch (patch 3) implements basic sysfs stub for virtual address
spaces monitoring. Note that this implements only sysfs files and DAMON
is not linked. Fourth patch (patch 4) links the DAMON_SYSFS to DAMON so
that users can control DAMON using the sysfs files.
Following six patches (patches 5-10) implements other DAMON features that
DAMON_DBGFS supports one by one (physical address space monitoring,
DAMON-based operation schemes, schemes quotas, schemes prioritization
weights, schemes watermarks, and schemes stats).
Following patch (patch 11) adds a simple selftest for DAMON_SYSFS, and the
final one (patch 12) documents DAMON_SYSFS.
This patch (of 13):
To avoid interference between DAMON contexts monitoring overlapping memory
regions, damon_start() works in an exclusive manner. That is,
damon_start() does nothing bug fails if any context that started by
another instance of the function is still running. This makes its usage a
little bit restrictive. However, admins could aware each DAMON usage and
address such interferences on their own in some cases.
This commit hence implements non-exclusive mode of the function and allows
the callers to select the mode. Note that the exclusive groups and
non-exclusive groups of contexts will respect each other in a manner
similar to that of reader-writer locks. Therefore, this commit will not
cause any behavioral change to the exclusive groups.

Some of DAMON document are not properly updated for latest version. This
patchset updates such parts.
This patch (of 3):
DAMON code calls the low level monitoring primitives implementations the
monitoring operations. The documentation would have no problem at still
calling those primitives implementation because there is no real
difference in the concepts, but making it more consistent with the code
would make it better. This commit therefore convert sentences in the doc
specifically pointing the implementations of the primitives to call it
monitoring operations.

In-kernel DAMON user code like DAMON debugfs interface should set 'struct
damon_operations' of its 'struct damon_ctx' on its own. Therefore, the
client code should depend on all supporting monitoring operations
implementations that it could use. For example, DAMON debugfs interface
depends on both vaddr and paddr, while some of the users are not always
interested in both.
To minimize such unnecessary dependencies, this commit makes the
monitoring operations can be registered by implementing code and then
dynamically selected by the user code without build-time dependency.

Patch series "Allow DAMON user code independent of monitoring primitives".
In-kernel DAMON user code is required to configure the monitoring context
(struct damon_ctx) with proper monitoring primitives (struct
damon_primitive). This makes the user code dependent to all supporting
monitoring primitives. For example, DAMON debugfs interface depends on
both DAMON_VADDR and DAMON_PADDR, though some users have interest in only
one use case. As more monitoring primitives are introduced, the problem
will be bigger.
To minimize such unnecessary dependency, this patchset makes monitoring
primitives can be registered by the implemnting code and later dynamically
searched and selected by the user code.
In addition to that, this patchset renames monitoring primitives to
monitoring operations, which is more easy to intuitively understand what
it means and how it would be structed.
This patch (of 8):
DAMON has a set of callback functions called monitoring primitives and let
it can be configured with various implementations for easy extension for
different address spaces and usages. However, the word 'primitive' is not
so explicit. Meanwhile, many other structs resembles similar purpose
calls themselves 'operations'. To make the code easier to be understood,
this commit renames 'damon_primitives' to 'damon_operations' before it is
too late to rename.

DAMON asks each monitoring target ('struct damon_target') to have one
'unsigned long' integer called 'id', which should be unique among the
targets of same monitoring context. Meaning of it is, however, totally up
to the monitoring primitives that registered to the monitoring context.
For example, the virtual address spaces monitoring primitives treats the
id as a 'struct pid' pointer.
This makes the code flexible, but ugly, not well-documented, and
type-unsafe[1]. Also, identification of each target can be done via its
index. For the reason, this commit removes the concept and uses clear
type definition. For now, only 'struct pid' pointer is used for the
virtual address spaces monitoring. If DAMON is extended in future so that
we need to put another identifier field in the struct, we will use a union
for such primitives-dependent fields and document which primitives are
using which type.

Target id is a 'unsigned long' data, which can be interpreted differently
by each monitoring primitives. For example, it means 'struct pid *' for
the virtual address spaces monitoring, while it means nothing but an
integer to be displayed to debugfs interface users for the physical
address space monitoring. It's flexible but makes code ugly and

To be prepared for eventual removal of the concept, this commit removes a

detail, this commit replaces use of the id with the index of each target

this, and kunit_test_timeout will work as desired.

Patch series "kunit: fix a UAF bug and do some optimization", v2.
This series is to fix UAF (use after free) when running kfence test case
test_gfpzero, which is time costly. This UAF bug can be easily triggered
by setting CONFIG_KFENCE_NUM_OBJECTS = 65535. Furthermore, some
optimization for kunit tests has been done.
This patch (of 3):
Kunit will create a new thread to run an actual test case, and the main
process will wait for the completion of the actual test thread until
overtime. The variable "struct kunit test" has local property in function
kunit_try_catch_run, and will be used in the test case thread. Task
kunit_try_catch_run will free "struct kunit test" when kunit runs
overtime, but the actual test case is still run and an UAF bug will be
triggered.
The above problem has been both observed in a physical machine and qemu
platform when running kfence kunit tests. The problem can be triggered
when setting CONFIG_KFENCE_NUM_OBJECTS = 65535. Under this setting, the
test case test_gfpzero will cost hours and kunit will run to overtime.
The follows show the panic log.
BUG: unable to handle page fault for address: ffffffff82d882e9

To solve this problem, the test case thread should be stopped when the
kunit frame runs overtime. The stop signal will send in function
kunit_try_catch_run, and test_gfpzero will handle it.

Allow enabling KFENCE after system startup by allocating its pool via the
page allocator. This provides the flexibility to enable KFENCE even if it
wasn't enabled at boot time.

Patch series "provide the flexibility to enable KFENCE", v3.
If CONFIG_CONTIG_ALLOC is not supported, we fallback to try
alloc_pages_exact(). Allocating pages in this way has limits about
MAX_ORDER (default 11). So we will not support allocating kfence pool
after system startup with a large KFENCE_NUM_OBJECTS.
When handling failures in kfence_init_pool_late(), we pair
free_pages_exact() to alloc_pages_exact() for compatibility consideration,
though it actually does the same as free_contig_range().
This patch (of 2):
If once KFENCE is disabled by:
echo 0 > /sys/module/kfence/parameters/sample_interval
KFENCE could never be re-enabled until next rebooting.
Allow re-enabling it by writing a positive num to sample_interval.

In mm/Makefile has:

So that we don't need 'obj-$(CONFIG_KFENCE) :=' in mm/kfence/Makefile,
delete it from mm/kfence/Makefile.
