mm: make SPLIT_PTE_PTLOCKS depend on SMP
SPLIT_PTE_PTLOCKS depends on "NR_CPUS >= 4". Unfortunately, that
evaluates to true if there is no NR_CPUS configuration option. This
results in CONFIG_SPLIT_PTE_PTLOCKS=y for mac_defconfig. This in turn
causes the m68k "q800" and "virt" machines to crash in qemu if debugging
options are enabled.
Making CONFIG_SPLIT_PTE_PTLOCKS dependent on the existence of NR_CPUS does
not work since a dependency on the existence of a numeric Kconfig entry
always evaluates to false. Example:
config HAVE_NO_NR_CPUS
def_bool y
depends on !NR_CPUS
After adding this to a Kconfig file, "make defconfig" includes:
$ grep NR_CPUS .config
CONFIG_NR_CPUS=64
CONFIG_HAVE_NO_NR_CPUS=y
Defining NR_CPUS for m68k does not help either since many architectures
define NR_CPUS only for SMP configurations.
Make SPLIT_PTE_PTLOCKS depend on SMP instead to solve the problem.

mm: z3fold: deprecate CONFIG_Z3FOLD
The z3fold compressed pages allocator is rarely used, most users use zsmalloc. The only disadvantage of zsmalloc in comparison is the dependency on MMU, and zbud is a more common option for !MMU as it was the default zswap allocator for a long time. Historically, zsmalloc had worse latency than zbud and z3fold but offered better memory savings. This is no longer the case as shown by a simple recent analysis [1]. That analysis showed that z3fold does not have any advantage over zsmalloc or zbud considering both performance and memory usage. In a kernel build test on tmpfs in a limited cgroup, z3fold took 3% more time and used 1.8% more memory. The latency of zswap_load() was 7% higher, and that of zswap_store() was 10% higher. Zsmalloc is better in all metrics. Moreover, z3fold apparently has latent bugs, which was made noticeable by a recent soft lockup bug report with z3fold [2]. Switching to zsmalloc not only fixed the problem, but also reduced the swap usage from 6~8G to 1~2G. Other users have also reported being bitten by mistakenly enabling z3fold. Other than hurting users, z3fold is repeatedly causing wasted engineering effort. Apart from investigating the above bug, it came up in multiple development discussions (e.g. [3]) as something we need to handle, when there aren't any legit users (at least not intentionally). The natural course of action is to deprecate z3fold, and remove in a few cycles if no objections are raised from active users. Next on the list should be zbud, as it offers marginal latency gains at the cost of huge memory waste when compared to zsmalloc. That one will need to wait until zsmalloc does not depend on MMU. Rename the user-visible config option from CONFIG_Z3FOLD to CONFIG_Z3FOLD_DEPRECATED so that users with CONFIG_Z3FOLD=y get a new prompt with explanation during make oldconfig. Also, remove CONFIG_Z3FOLD=y from defconfigs.

mm: introduce ARCH_SUPPORTS_HUGE_PFNMAP and special bits to pmd/pud
Patch series "mm: Support huge pfnmaps", v2.
Overview
========
This series implements huge pfnmaps support for mm in general. Huge
pfnmap allows e.g. VM_PFNMAP vmas to map in either PMD or PUD levels,
similar to what we do with dax / thp / hugetlb so far to benefit from TLB
hits. Now we extend that idea to PFN mappings, e.g. PCI MMIO bars where
it can grow as large as 8GB or even bigger.
Currently, only x86_64 (1G+2M) and arm64 (2M) are supported. The last
patch (from Alex Williamson) will be the first user of huge pfnmap, so as
to enable vfio-pci driver to fault in huge pfn mappings.
Implementation
==============
In reality, it's relatively simple to add such support comparing to many
other types of mappings, because of PFNMAP's specialties when there's no
vmemmap backing it, so that most of the kernel routines on huge mappings
should simply already fail for them, like GUPs or old-school follow_page()
(which is recently rewritten to be folio_walk* APIs by David).
One trick here is that we're still unmature on PUDs in generic paths here
and there, as DAX is so far the only user. This patchset will add the 2nd
user of it. Hugetlb can be a 3rd user if the hugetlb unification work can
go on smoothly, but to be discussed later.
The other trick is how to allow gup-fast working for such huge mappings
even if there's no direct sign of knowing whether it's a normal page or
MMIO mapping. This series chose to keep the pte_special solution, so that
it reuses similar idea on setting a special bit to pfnmap PMDs/PUDs so
that gup-fast will be able to identify them and fail properly.
Along the way, we'll also notice that the major pgtable pfn walker, aka,
follow_pte(), will need to retire soon due to the fact that it only works
with ptes. A new set of simple API is introduced (follow_pfnmap* API) to
be able to do whatever follow_pte() can already do, plus that it can also
process huge pfnmaps now. Half of this series is about that and
converting all existing pfnmap walkers to use the new API properly.
Hopefully the new API also looks better to avoid exposing e.g. pgtable
lock details into the callers, so that it can be used in an even more
straightforward way.
Here, three more options will be introduced and involved in huge pfnmap:
- ARCH_SUPPORTS_HUGE_PFNMAP
Arch developers will need to select this option when huge pfnmap is
supported in arch's Kconfig. After this patchset applied, both x86_64
and arm64 will start to enable it by default.
- ARCH_SUPPORTS_PMD_PFNMAP / ARCH_SUPPORTS_PUD_PFNMAP
These options are for driver developers to identify whether current
arch / config supports huge pfnmaps, making decision on whether it can
use the huge pfnmap APIs to inject them. One can refer to the last
vfio-pci patch from Alex on the use of them properly in a device
driver.
So after the whole set applied, and if one would enable some dynamic debug
lines in vfio-pci core files, we should observe things like:
vfio-pci 0000:00:06.0: vfio_pci_mmap_huge_fault(,order = 9) BAR 0 page offset 0x0: 0x100
vfio-pci 0000:00:06.0: vfio_pci_mmap_huge_fault(,order = 9) BAR 0 page offset 0x200: 0x100
vfio-pci 0000:00:06.0: vfio_pci_mmap_huge_fault(,order = 9) BAR 0 page offset 0x400: 0x100
In this specific case, it says that vfio-pci faults in PMDs properly for a
few BAR0 offsets.
Patch Layout
============
Patch 1: Introduce the new options mentioned above for huge PFNMAPs
Patch 2: A tiny cleanup
Patch 3-8: Preparation patches for huge pfnmap (include introduce
special bit for pmd/pud)
Patch 9-16: Introduce follow_pfnmap*() API, use it everywhere, and
then drop follow_pte() API
Patch 17: Add huge pfnmap support for x86_64
Patch 18: Add huge pfnmap support for arm64
Patch 19: Add vfio-pci support for all kinds of huge pfnmaps (Alex)
TODO
====
More architectures / More page sizes
------------------------------------
Currently only x86_64 (2M+1G) and arm64 (2M) are supported. There seems
to have plan to support arm64 1G later on top of this series [2].
Any arch will need to first support THP / THP_1G, then provide a special
bit in pmds/puds to support huge pfnmaps.
remap_pfn_range() support
-------------------------
Currently, remap_pfn_range() still only maps PTEs. With the new option,
remap_pfn_range() can logically start to inject either PMDs or PUDs when
the alignment requirements match on the VAs.
When the support is there, it should be able to silently benefit all
drivers that is using remap_pfn_range() in its mmap() handler on better
TLB hit rate and overall faster MMIO accesses similar to processor on
hugepages.
More driver support
-------------------
VFIO is so far the only consumer for the huge pfnmaps after this series
applied. Besides above remap_pfn_range() generic optimization, device
driver can also try to optimize its mmap() on a better VA alignment for
either PMD/PUD sizes. This may, iiuc, normally require userspace changes,
as the driver doesn't normally decide the VA to map a bar. But I don't
think I know all the drivers to know the full picture.
Credits all go to Alex on help testing the GPU/NIC use cases above.

This patch (of 19):
This patch introduces the option to introduce special pte bit into
pmd/puds. Archs can start to define pmd_special / pud_special when
supported by selecting the new option. Per-arch support will be added
later.
Before that, create fallbacks for these helpers so that they are always
available.

zsmalloc: use all available 24 bits of page_type
Now that we have an extra 8 bits, we don't need to limit ourselves to supporting a 64KiB page size. I'm sure both Hexagon users are grateful, but it does reduce complexity a little. We can also remove reset_first_obj_offset() as calling __ClearPageZsmalloc() will now reset all 32 bits of page_type.

mm: turn USE_SPLIT_PTE_PTLOCKS / USE_SPLIT_PTE_PTLOCKS into Kconfig options
Patch series "mm: split PTE/PMD PT table Kconfig cleanups+clarifications". This series is a follow up to the fixes: "[PATCH v1 0/2] mm/hugetlb: fix hugetlb vs. core-mm PT locking" When working on the fixes, I wondered why 8xx is fine (-> never uses split PT locks) and how PT locking even works properly with PMD page table sharing (-> always requires split PMD PT locks). Let's improve the split PT lock detection, make hugetlb properly depend on it and make 8xx bail out if it would ever get enabled by accident. As an alternative to patch #3 we could extend the Kconfig SPLIT_PTE_PTLOCKS option from patch #2 -- but enforcing it closer to the code that actually implements it feels a bit nicer for documentation purposes, and there is no need to actually disable it because it should always be disabled (!SMP). Did a bunch of cross-compilations to make sure that split PTE/PMD PT locks are still getting used where we would expect them. [1] https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20240725183955.2268884-1-david@redhat.com This patch (of 3): Let's clean that up a bit and prepare for depending on CONFIG_SPLIT_PMD_PTLOCKS in other Kconfig options. More cleanups would be reasonable (like the arch-specific "depends on" for CONFIG_SPLIT_PTE_PTLOCKS), but we'll leave that for another day.

- 875fa64577da ("mm/hugetlb_vmemmap: fix race with speculative PFN
walkers") is known to cause a performance regression (https://lore.kernel.org/all/3acefad9-96e5-4681-8014-827d6be71c7a@linux.ibm.com/T/#mfa809800a7862fb5bdf834c6f71a3a5113eb83ff). Yu has a fix which I'll send along later via the hotfixes branch. - In the series "mm: Avoid possible overflows in dirty throttling" Jan Kara addresses a couple of issues in the writeback throttling code. These fixes are also targetted at -stable kernels. - Ryusuke Konishi's series "nilfs2: fix potential issues related to reserved inodes" does that. This should actually be in the mm-nonmm-stable tree, along with the many other nilfs2 patches. My bad. - More folio conversions from Kefeng Wang in the series "mm: convert to folio_alloc_mpol()" - Kemeng Shi has sent some cleanups to the writeback code in the series "Add helper functions to remove repeated code and improve readability of cgroup writeback" - Kairui Song has made the swap code a little smaller and a little faster in the series "mm/swap: clean up and optimize swap cache index". - In the series "mm/memory: cleanly support zeropage in vm_insert_page*(), vm_map_pages*() and vmf_insert_mixed()" David Hildenbrand has reworked the rather sketchy handling of the use of the zeropage in MAP_SHARED mappings. I don't see any runtime effects here - more a cleanup/understandability/maintainablity thing. - Dev Jain has improved selftests/mm/va_high_addr_switch.c's handling of higher addresses, for aarch64. The (poorly named) series is "Restructure va_high_addr_switch". - The core TLB handling code gets some cleanups and possible slight optimizations in Bang Li's series "Add update_mmu_tlb_range() to simplify code". - Jane Chu has improved the handling of our fake-an-unrecoverable-memory-error testing feature MADV_HWPOISON in the series "Enhance soft hwpoison handling and injection". - Jeff Johnson has sent a billion patches everywhere to add MODULE_DESCRIPTION() to everything. Some landed in this pull. - In the series "mm: cleanup MIGRATE_SYNC_NO_COPY mode", Kefeng Wang has simplified migration's use of hardware-offload memory copying. - Yosry Ahmed performs more folio API conversions in his series "mm: zswap: trivial folio conversions". - In the series "large folios swap-in: handle refault cases first", Chuanhua Han inches us forward in the handling of large pages in the swap code. This is a cleanup and optimization, working toward the end objective of full support of large folio swapin/out. - In the series "mm,swap: cleanup VMA based swap readahead window calculation", Huang Ying has contributed some cleanups and a possible fixlet to his VMA based swap readahead code. - In the series "add mTHP support for anonymous shmem" Baolin Wang has taught anonymous shmem mappings to use multisize THP. By default this is a no-op - users must opt in vis sysfs controls. Dramatic improvements in pagefault latency are realized. - David Hildenbrand has some cleanups to our remaining use of page_mapcount() in the series "fs/proc: move page_mapcount() to fs/proc/internal.h". - David also has some highmem accounting cleanups in the series "mm/highmem: don't track highmem pages manually". - Build-time fixes and cleanups from John Hubbard in the series "cleanups, fixes, and progress towards avoiding "make headers"". - Cleanups and consolidation of the core pagemap handling from Barry Song in the series "mm: introduce pmd|pte_needs_soft_dirty_wp helpers and utilize them". - Lance Yang's series "Reclaim lazyfree THP without splitting" has reduced the latency of the reclaim of pmd-mapped THPs under fairly common circumstances. A 10x speedup is seen in a microbenchmark. It does this by punting to aother CPU but I guess that's a win unless all CPUs are pegged. - hugetlb_cgroup cleanups from Xiu Jianfeng in the series "mm/hugetlb_cgroup: rework on cftypes". - Miaohe Lin's series "Some cleanups for memory-failure" does just that thing. - Is anyone reading this stuff? If so, email me! - Someone other than SeongJae has developed a DAMON feature in Honggyu Kim's series "DAMON based tiered memory management for CXL memory". This adds DAMON features which may be used to help determine the efficiency of our placement of CXL/PCIe attached DRAM. - DAMON user API centralization and simplificatio work in SeongJae Park's series "mm/damon: introduce DAMON parameters online commit function". - In the series "mm: page_type, zsmalloc and page_mapcount_reset()" David Hildenbrand does some maintenance work on zsmalloc - partially modernizing its use of pageframe fields. - Kefeng Wang provides more folio conversions in the series "mm: remove page_maybe_dma_pinned() and page_mkclean()". - More cleanup from David Hildenbrand, this time in the series "mm/memory_hotplug: use PageOffline() instead of PageReserved() for !ZONE_DEVICE". It "enlightens memory hotplug more about PageOffline() pages" and permits the removal of some virtio-mem hacks. - Barry Song's series "mm: clarify folio_add_new_anon_rmap() and __folio_add_anon_rmap()" is a cleanup to the anon folio handling in preparation for mTHP (multisize THP) swapin. - Kefeng Wang's series "mm: improve clear and copy user folio" implements more folio conversions, this time in the area of large folio userspace copying. - The series "Docs/mm/damon/maintaier-profile: document a mailing tool and community meetup series" tells people how to get better involved with other DAMON developers.

These fixes are also targetted at -stable kernels. - Ryusuke Konishi's series "nilfs2: fix potential issues related to reserved inodes" does that. This should actually be in the mm-nonmm-stable tree, along with the many other nilfs2 patches. My bad. - More folio conversions from Kefeng Wang in the series "mm: convert to folio_alloc_mpol()" - Kemeng Shi has sent some cleanups to the writeback code in the series "Add helper functions to remove repeated code and improve readability of cgroup writeback" - Kairui Song has made the swap code a little smaller and a little faster in the series "mm/swap: clean up and optimize swap cache index". - In the series "mm/memory: cleanly support zeropage in vm_insert_page*(), vm_map_pages*() and vmf_insert_mixed()" David Hildenbrand has reworked the rather sketchy handling of the use of the zeropage in MAP_SHARED mappings. I don't see any runtime effects here - more a cleanup/understandability/maintainablity thing. - Dev Jain has improved selftests/mm/va_high_addr_switch.c's handling of higher addresses, for aarch64. The (poorly named) series is "Restructure va_high_addr_switch". - The core TLB handling code gets some cleanups and possible slight optimizations in Bang Li's series "Add update_mmu_tlb_range() to simplify code". - Jane Chu has improved the handling of our fake-an-unrecoverable-memory-error testing feature MADV_HWPOISON in the series "Enhance soft hwpoison handling and injection". - Jeff Johnson has sent a billion patches everywhere to add MODULE_DESCRIPTION() to everything. Some landed in this pull. - In the series "mm: cleanup MIGRATE_SYNC_NO_COPY mode", Kefeng Wang has simplified migration's use of hardware-offload memory copying. - Yosry Ahmed performs more folio API conversions in his series "mm: zswap: trivial folio conversions". - In the series "large folios swap-in: handle refault cases first", Chuanhua Han inches us forward in the handling of large pages in the swap code. This is a cleanup and optimization, working toward the end objective of full support of large folio swapin/out. - In the series "mm,swap: cleanup VMA based swap readahead window calculation", Huang Ying has contributed some cleanups and a possible fixlet to his VMA based swap readahead code. - In the series "add mTHP support for anonymous shmem" Baolin Wang has taught anonymous shmem mappings to use multisize THP. By default this is a no-op - users must opt in vis sysfs controls. Dramatic improvements in pagefault latency are realized. - David Hildenbrand has some cleanups to our remaining use of page_mapcount() in the series "fs/proc: move page_mapcount() to fs/proc/internal.h". - David also has some highmem accounting cleanups in the series "mm/highmem: don't track highmem pages manually". - Build-time fixes and cleanups from John Hubbard in the series "cleanups, fixes, and progress towards avoiding "make headers"". - Cleanups and consolidation of the core pagemap handling from Barry Song in the series "mm: introduce pmd|pte_needs_soft_dirty_wp helpers and utilize them". - Lance Yang's series "Reclaim lazyfree THP without splitting" has reduced the latency of the reclaim of pmd-mapped THPs under fairly common circumstances.

It does this by punting to aother CPU but I guess that's a win unless all CPUs are pegged. - hugetlb_cgroup cleanups from Xiu Jianfeng in the series "mm/hugetlb_cgroup: rework on cftypes". - Miaohe Lin's series "Some cleanups for memory-failure" does just that thing. - Someone other than SeongJae has developed a DAMON feature in Honggyu Kim's series "DAMON based tiered memory management for CXL memory". This adds DAMON features which may be used to help determine the efficiency of our placement of CXL/PCIe attached DRAM. - DAMON user API centralization and simplificatio work in SeongJae Park's series "mm/damon: introduce DAMON parameters online commit function". - In the series "mm: page_type, zsmalloc and page_mapcount_reset()" David Hildenbrand does some maintenance work on zsmalloc - partially modernizing its use of pageframe fields. - Kefeng Wang provides more folio conversions in the series "mm: remove page_maybe_dma_pinned() and page_mkclean()". - More cleanup from David Hildenbrand, this time in the series "mm/memory_hotplug: use PageOffline() instead of PageReserved() for !ZONE_DEVICE". It "enlightens memory hotplug more about PageOffline() pages" and permits the removal of some virtio-mem hacks. - Barry Song's series "mm: clarify folio_add_new_anon_rmap() and __folio_add_anon_rmap()" is a cleanup to the anon folio handling in preparation for mTHP (multisize THP) swapin. - Kefeng Wang's series "mm: improve clear and copy user folio" implements more folio conversions, this time in the area of large folio userspace copying. - The series "Docs/mm/damon/maintaier-profile: document a mailing tool and community meetup series" tells people how to get better involved with other DAMON developers.

kmsan: disable KMSAN when DEFERRED_STRUCT_PAGE_INIT is enabled
KMSAN relies on memblock returning all available pages to it (see kmsan_memblock_free_pages()). It partitions these pages into 3 categories: pages available to the buddy allocator, shadow pages and origin pages. This partitioning is static. If new pages appear after kmsan_init_runtime(), it is considered an error. DEFERRED_STRUCT_PAGE_INIT causes this, so mark it as incompatible with KMSAN.

mm/Kconfig: mention arm64 in DEFAULT_MMAP_MIN_ADDR symbol help text
Currently ppc64 and x86 are mentioned as architectures where a 65536 value is reasonable but arm64 isn't listed and it is also a 64-bit architecture. The help text says that for "arm" the value should be no higher than 32768 but it's only talking about 32-bit ARM. Adding arm64 to the above list can make this more clear and avoid confusing users who may think that the 32k limit would also apply to 64-bit ARM.

mm/zsmalloc: use a proper page type
Let's clean it up: use a proper page type and store our data (offset into a page) in the lower 16 bit as documented. We won't be able to support 256 KiB base pages, which is acceptable. Teach Kconfig to handle that cleanly using a new CONFIG_HAVE_ZSMALLOC. Based on this, we should do a proper "struct zsdesc" conversion, as proposed in [1]. This removes the last _mapcount/page_type offender.

mm/slab: Plumb kmem_buckets into __do_kmalloc_node()
Introduce CONFIG_SLAB_BUCKETS which provides the infrastructure to support separated kmalloc buckets (in the following kmem_buckets_create() patches and future codetag-based separation). Since this will provide a mitigation for a very common case of exploits, it is recommended to enable this feature for general purpose distros. By default, the new Kconfig will be enabled if CONFIG_SLAB_FREELIST_HARDENED is enabled (and it is added to the hardening.config Kconfig fragment). To be able to choose which buckets to allocate from, make the buckets available to the internal kmalloc interfaces by adding them as the second argument, rather than depending on the buckets being chosen from the fixed set of global buckets. Where the bucket is not available, pass NULL, which means "use the default system kmalloc bucket set" (the prior existing behavior), as implemented in kmalloc_slab(). To avoid adding the extra argument when !CONFIG_SLAB_BUCKETS, only the top-level macros and static inlines use the buckets argument (where they are stripped out and compiled out respectively). The actual extern functions can then be built without the argument, and the internals fall back to the global kmalloc buckets unconditionally.

mm: introduce execmem_alloc() and execmem_free()
module_alloc() is used everywhere as a mean to allocate memory for code. Beside being semantically wrong, this unnecessarily ties all subsystems that need to allocate code, such as ftrace, kprobes and BPF to modules and puts the burden of code allocation to the modules code. Several architectures override module_alloc() because of various constraints where the executable memory can be located and this causes additional obstacles for improvements of code allocation. Start splitting code allocation from modules by introducing execmem_alloc() and execmem_free() APIs. Initially, execmem_alloc() is a wrapper for module_alloc() and execmem_free() is a replacement of module_memfree() to allow updating all call sites to use the new APIs. Since architectures define different restrictions on placement, permissions, alignment and other parameters for memory that can be used by different subsystems that allocate executable memory, execmem_alloc() takes a type argument, that will be used to identify the calling subsystem and to allow architectures define parameters for ranges suitable for that subsystem. No functional changes.

mm/Kconfig: CONFIG_PGTABLE_HAS_HUGE_LEAVES
Patch series "mm/gup: Unify hugetlb, part 2", v4. The series removes the hugetlb slow gup path after a previous refactor work [1], so that slow gup now uses the exact same path to process all kinds of memory including hugetlb. For the long term, we may want to remove most, if not all, call sites of huge_pte_offset(). It'll be ideal if that API can be completely dropped from arch hugetlb API. This series is one small step towards merging hugetlb specific codes into generic mm paths. From that POV, this series removes one reference to huge_pte_offset() out of many others. One goal of such a route is that we can reconsider merging hugetlb features like High Granularity Mapping (HGM). It was not accepted in the past because it may add lots of hugetlb specific codes and make the mm code even harder to maintain. With a merged codeset, features like HGM can hopefully share some code with THP, legacy (PMD+) or modern (continuous PTEs). To make it work, the generic slow gup code will need to at least understand hugepd, which is already done like so in fast-gup. Due to the specialty of hugepd to be software-only solution (no hardware recognizes the hugepd format, so it's purely artificial structures), there's chance we can merge some or all hugepd formats with cont_pte in the future. That question is yet unsettled from Power side to have an acknowledgement. As of now for this series, I kept the hugepd handling because we may still need to do so before getting a clearer picture of the future of hugepd. The other reason is simply that we did it already for fast-gup and most codes are still around to be reused. It'll make more sense to keep slow/fast gup behave the same before a decision is made to remove hugepd. There's one major difference for slow-gup on cont_pte / cont_pmd handling, currently supported on three architectures (aarch64, riscv, ppc). Before the series, slow gup will be able to recognize e.g. cont_pte entries with the help of huge_pte_offset() when hstate is around. Now it's gone but still working, by looking up pgtable entries one by one. It's not ideal, but hopefully this change should not affect yet on major workloads. There's some more information in the commit message of the last patch. If this would be a concern, we can consider teaching slow gup to recognize cont pte/pmd entries, and that should recover the lost performance. But I doubt its necessity for now, so I kept it as simple as it can be. Patch layout ============= Patch 1-8: Preparation works, or cleanups in relevant code paths Patch 9-11: Teach slow gup with all kinds of huge entries (pXd, hugepd) Patch 12: Drop hugetlb_follow_page_mask() More information can be found in the commit messages of each patch. [1] https://lore.kernel.org/all/20230628215310.73782-1-peterx@redhat.com [2] https://lore.kernel.org/r/20240321215047.678172-1-peterx@redhat.com Introduce a config option that will be selected as long as huge leaves are involved in pgtable (thp or hugetlbfs). It would be useful to mark any code with this new config that can process either hugetlb or thp pages in any level that is higher than pte level.

Introduce cpu_dcache_is_aliasing() across all architectures
Introduce a generic way to query whether the data cache is virtually
aliased on all architectures. Its purpose is to ensure that subsystems
which are incompatible with virtually aliased data caches (e.g. FS_DAX)
can reliably query this.
For data cache aliasing, there are three scenarios dependending on the
architecture. Here is a breakdown based on my understanding:
A) The data cache is always aliasing:
* arc
* csky
* m68k (note: shared memory mappings are incoherent ? SHMLBA is missing there.)
* sh
* parisc
B) The data cache aliasing is statically known or depends on querying CPU
state at runtime:
* arm (cache_is_vivt() || cache_is_vipt_aliasing())
* mips (cpu_has_dc_aliases)
* nios2 (NIOS2_DCACHE_SIZE > PAGE_SIZE)
* sparc32 (vac_cache_size > PAGE_SIZE)
* sparc64 (L1DCACHE_SIZE > PAGE_SIZE)
* xtensa (DCACHE_WAY_SIZE > PAGE_SIZE)
C) The data cache is never aliasing:
* alpha
* arm64 (aarch64)
* hexagon
* loongarch (but with incoherent write buffers, which are disabled since

mm/zswap: only support zswap_exclusive_loads_enabled
The !zswap_exclusive_loads_enabled mode will leave compressed copy in the zswap tree and lru list after the folio swapin. There are some disadvantages in this mode: 1. It's a waste of memory since there are two copies of data, one is folio, the other one is compressed data in zswap. And it's unlikely the compressed data is useful in the near future. 2. If that folio is dirtied, the compressed data must be not useful, but we don't know and don't invalidate the trashy memory in zswap. 3. It's not reclaimable from zswap shrinker since zswap_writeback_entry() will always return -EEXIST and terminate the shrinking process. On the other hand, the only downside of zswap_exclusive_loads_enabled is a little more cpu usage/latency when compression, and the same if the folio is removed from swapcache or dirtied. More explanation by Johannes on why we should consider exclusive load as the default for zswap: Caching "swapout work" is helpful when the system is thrashing. Then recently swapped in pages might get swapped out again very soon. It certainly makes sense with conventional swap, because keeping a clean copy on the disk saves IO work and doesn't cost any additional memory. But with zswap, it's different. It saves some compression work on a thrashing page. But the act of keeping compressed memory contributes to a higher rate of thrashing. And that can cause IO in other places like zswap writeback and file memory. And the A/B test results of the kernel build in tmpfs with limited memory can support this theory: !exclusive exclusive real 63.80 63.01 user 1063.83 1061.32 sys 290.31 266.15 workingset_refault_anon 2383084.40 1976397.40 workingset_refault_file 44134.00 45689.40 workingset_activate_anon 837878.00 728441.20 workingset_activate_file 4710.00 4085.20 workingset_restore_anon 732622.60 639428.40 workingset_restore_file 1007.00 926.80 workingset_nodereclaim 0.00 0.00 pgscan 14343003.40 12409570.20 pgscan_kswapd 0.00 0.00 pgscan_direct 14343003.40 12409570.20 pgscan_khugepaged 0.00 0.00 Link: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20240201-b4-zswap-invalidate-entry-v2-5-99d4084260a0@bytedance.com Signed-off-by: Chengming Zhou <zhouchengming@bytedance.com> Acked-by: Yosry Ahmed <yosryahmed@google.com> Acked-by: Johannes Weiner <hannes@cmpxchg.org> Reviewed-by: Nhat Pham <nphamcs@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> |

- SLUB: delayed freezing of CPU partial slabs (Chengming Zhou)
Freezing is an operation involving double_cmpxchg() that makes a slab
exclusive for a particular CPU. Chengming noticed that we use it also
in situations where we are not yet installing the slab as the CPU
slab, because freezing also indicates that the slab is not on the
shared list. This results in redundant freeze/unfreeze operation and
can be avoided by marking separately the shared list presence by
reusing the PG_workingset flag.

mm/thp: add CONFIG_TRANSPARENT_HUGEPAGE_NEVER option
Currently enabling THP support (CONFIG_TRANSPARENT_HUGEPAGE) requires enabling either CONFIG_TRANSPARENT_HUGEPAGE_ALWAYS or CONFIG_TRANSPARENT_HUGEPAGE_MADVISE, which both cause khugepaged starting by default at kernel bootup. Add the third choice CONFIG_TRANSPARENT_HUGEPAGE_NEVER, in line with the existing kernel command line setting transparent_hugepage=never, to disable THP by default (in particular, to prevent starting khugepaged by default) but still allow enabling it at runtime via sysfs. Rationale: khugepaged has its own non-negligible memory cost even if it is not used by any applications, since it bumps up vm.min_free_kbytes to its own required minimum in set_recommended_min_free_kbytes(). For example, on a machine with 4GB RAM, with 3 mm zones and pageblock_order == MAX_ORDER, starting khugepaged causes vm.min_free_kbytes increase from 8MB to 132MB. So if we use THP on machines with e.g. >=8GB of memory for better performance, but avoid using it on lower-memory machines to avoid its memory overhead, then for the same reason we also want to avoid even starting khugepaged on those <8GB machines. So with CONFIG_TRANSPARENT_HUGEPAGE_NEVER we can use the same kernel image on both >=8GB and <8GB machines, with THP support enabled but khugepaged not started by default. The userspace can then decide to enable THP via sysfs if needed, based on the total amount of memory. This could also be achieved with the existing transparent_hugepage=never setting in the kernel command line instead. But it seems cleaner to avoid tweaking the command line for such a basic setting. P.S. I see that CONFIG_TRANSPARENT_HUGEPAGE_NEVER was already proposed in the past [1] but without an explanation of the purpose.

zswap: shrink zswap pool based on memory pressure
Currently, we only shrink the zswap pool when the user-defined limit is hit. This means that if we set the limit too high, cold data that are unlikely to be used again will reside in the pool, wasting precious memory. It is hard to predict how much zswap space will be needed ahead of time, as this depends on the workload (specifically, on factors such as memory access patterns and compressibility of the memory pages). This patch implements a memcg- and NUMA-aware shrinker for zswap, that is initiated when there is memory pressure. The shrinker does not have any parameter that must be tuned by the user, and can be opted in or out on a per-memcg basis. Furthermore, to make it more robust for many workloads and prevent overshrinking (i.e evicting warm pages that might be refaulted into memory), we build in the following heuristics: * Estimate the number of warm pages residing in zswap, and attempt to protect this region of the zswap LRU. * Scale the number of freeable objects by an estimate of the memory saving factor. The better zswap compresses the data, the fewer pages we will evict to swap (as we will otherwise incur IO for relatively small memory saving). * During reclaim, if the shrinker encounters a page that is also being brought into memory, the shrinker will cautiously terminate its shrinking action, as this is a sign that it is touching the warmer region of the zswap LRU. As a proof of concept, we ran the following synthetic benchmark: build the linux kernel in a memory-limited cgroup, and allocate some cold data in tmpfs to see if the shrinker could write them out and improved the overall performance. Depending on the amount of cold data generated, we observe from 14% to 35% reduction in kernel CPU time used in the kernel builds.

iommu: Change kconfig around IOMMU_SVA
Linus suggested that the kconfig here is confusing: https://lore.kernel.org/all/CAHk-=wgUiAtiszwseM1p2fCJ+sC4XWQ+YN4TanFhUgvUqjr9Xw@mail.gmail.com/ Let's break it into three kconfigs controlling distinct things: - CONFIG_IOMMU_MM_DATA controls if the mm_struct has the additional fields for the IOMMU. Currently only PASID, but later patches store a struct iommu_mm_data * - CONFIG_ARCH_HAS_CPU_PASID controls if the arch needs the scheduling bit for keeping track of the ENQCMD instruction. x86 will select this if IOMMU_SVA is enabled - IOMMU_SVA controls if the IOMMU core compiles in the SVA support code for iommu driver use and the IOMMU exported API This way ARM will not enable CONFIG_ARCH_HAS_CPU_PASID Signed-off-by: Jason Gunthorpe <jgg@nvidia.com> Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20231027000525.1278806-2-tina.zhang@intel.com Signed-off-by: Joerg Roedel <jroedel@suse.de> |

Remove CONFIG_SLAB, CONFIG_DEBUG_SLAB, CONFIG_SLAB_DEPRECATED and everything in Kconfig files and mm/Makefile that depends on those. Since SLUB is the only remaining allocator, remove the allocator choice, make CONFIG_SLUB a "def_bool y" for now and remove all explicit dependencies on SLUB or SLAB as it's now always enabled. Make every option's verbose name and description refer to "the slab allocator" without refering to the specific implementation. Do not rename the CONFIG_ option names yet. Everything under #ifdef CONFIG_SLAB, and mm/slab.c is now dead code, all code under #ifdef CONFIG_SLUB is now always compiled.

mm: restrict the pcp batch scale factor to avoid too long latency
In page allocator, PCP (Per-CPU Pageset) is refilled and drained in
batches to increase page allocation throughput, reduce page
allocation/freeing latency per page, and reduce zone lock contention. But
too large batch size will cause too long maximal allocation/freeing
latency, which may punish arbitrary users. So the default batch size is
chosen carefully (in zone_batchsize(), the value is 63 for zone > 1GB) to
avoid that.

zswap: change zswap's default allocator to zsmalloc
Out of zswap's 3 allocators, zsmalloc is the clear superior in terms of memory utilization, both in theory and as observed in practice, with its high storage density and low internal fragmentation. zsmalloc is also more actively developed and maintained, since it is the allocator of choice for zswap for many users, as well as the only allocator for zram. A historical objection to the selection of zsmalloc as the default allocator for zswap is its lack of writeback capability. However, this has changed, with the zsmalloc writeback patchset, and the subsequent zswap LRU refactor. With this, there is not a lot of good reasons to keep zbud, an otherwise inferior allocator, as the default instead of zswap. This patch changes the default allocator to zsmalloc. The only exception is on settings without MMU, in which case zbud will remain as the default.

mm/memory_hotplug: simplify ARCH_MHP_MEMMAP_ON_MEMORY_ENABLE kconfig
Patch series "Add support for memmap on memory feature on ppc64", v8. This patch series update memmap on memory feature to fall back to memmap allocation outside the memory block if the alignment rules are not met. This makes the feature more useful on architectures like ppc64 where alignment rules are different with 64K page size. This patch (of 6): Instead of adding menu entry with all supported architectures, add mm/Kconfig variable and select the same from supported architectures. No functional change in this patch.

mm/vmemmap optimization: split hugetlb and devdax vmemmap optimization
Arm disabled hugetlb vmemmap optimization [1] because hugetlb vmemmap
optimization includes an update of both the permissions (writeable to
read-only) and the output address (pfn) of the vmemmap ptes. That is not
supported without unmapping of pte(marking it invalid) by some
architectures.
With DAX vmemmap optimization we don't require such pte updates and
architectures can enable DAX vmemmap optimization while having hugetlb
vmemmap optimization disabled. Hence split DAX optimization support into
a different config.
s390, loongarch and riscv don't have devdax support. So the DAX config is
not enabled for them. With this change, arm64 should be able to select
DAX optimization

mm: make MEMFD_CREATE into a selectable config option
The memfd_create() syscall, enabled by CONFIG_MEMFD_CREATE, is useful on its own even when not required by CONFIG_TMPFS or CONFIG_HUGETLBFS. Split it into its own proper bool option that can be enabled by users. Move that option into mm/ where the code itself also lies. Also add "select" statements to CONFIG_TMPFS and CONFIG_HUGETLBFS so they automatically enable CONFIG_MEMFD_CREATE as before.

Randomized slab caches for kmalloc()
When exploiting memory vulnerabilities, "heap spraying" is a common
technique targeting those related to dynamic memory allocation (i.e. the
"heap"), and it plays an important role in a successful exploitation.
Basically, it is to overwrite the memory area of vulnerable object by
triggering allocation in other subsystems or modules and therefore
getting a reference to the targeted memory location. It's usable on
various types of vulnerablity including use after free (UAF), heap out-
of-bound write and etc.
There are (at least) two reasons why the heap can be sprayed: 1) generic
slab caches are shared among different subsystems and modules, and
2) dedicated slab caches could be merged with the generic ones.
Currently these two factors cannot be prevented at a low cost: the first
one is a widely used memory allocation mechanism, and shutting down slab
merging completely via `slub_nomerge` would be overkill.
To efficiently prevent heap spraying, we propose the following approach:
to create multiple copies of generic slab caches that will never be
merged, and random one of them will be used at allocation. The random
selection is based on the address of code that calls `kmalloc()`, which
means it is static at runtime (rather than dynamically determined at
each time of allocation, which could be bypassed by repeatedly spraying
in brute force). In other words, the randomness of cache selection will
be with respect to the code address rather than time, i.e. allocations
in different code paths would most likely pick different caches,
although kmalloc() at each place would use the same cache copy whenever
it is executed. In this way, the vulnerable object and memory allocated
in other subsystems and modules will (most probably) be on different
slab caches, which prevents the object from being sprayed.
Meanwhile, the static random selection is further enhanced with a
per-boot random seed, which prevents the attacker from finding a usable
kmalloc that happens to pick the same cache with the vulnerable
subsystem/module by analyzing the open source code. In other words, with
the per-boot seed, the random selection is static during each time the
system starts and runs, but not across different system startups.
The overhead of performance has been tested on a 40-core x86 server by
comparing the results of `perf bench all` between the kernels with and
without this patch based on the latest linux-next kernel, which shows
minor difference. A subset of benchmarks are listed below:

on a QEMU VM with 1GB total memory, and as expected, it's positively
correlated with # of cache copies:

Merge branch 'expand-stack'
This modifies our user mode stack expansion code to always take the
mmap_lock for writing before modifying the VM layout.
It's actually something we always technically should have done, but
because we didn't strictly need it, we were being lazy ("opportunistic"
sounds so much better, doesn't it?) about things, and had this hack in
place where we would extend the stack vma in-place without doing the
proper locking.
And it worked fine. We just needed to change vm_start (or, in the case
of grow-up stacks, vm_end) and together with some special ad-hoc locking
using the anon_vma lock and the mm->page_table_lock, it all was fairly
straightforward.
That is, it was all fine until Ruihan Li pointed out that now that the
vma layout uses the maple tree code, we *really* don't just change
vm_start and vm_end any more, and the locking really is broken. Oops.
It's not actually all _that_ horrible to fix this once and for all, and
do proper locking, but it's a bit painful. We have basically three
different cases of stack expansion, and they all work just a bit
differently:
- the common and obvious case is the page fault handling. It's actually
fairly simple and straightforward, except for the fact that we have
something like 24 different versions of it, and you end up in a maze
of twisty little passages, all alike.
- the simplest case is the execve() code that creates a new stack.
There are no real locking concerns because it's all in a private new
VM that hasn't been exposed to anybody, but lockdep still can end up
unhappy if you get it wrong.
- and finally, we have GUP and page pinning, which shouldn't really be
expanding the stack in the first place, but in addition to execve()
we also use it for ptrace(). And debuggers do want to possibly access
memory under the stack pointer and thus need to be able to expand the
stack as a special case.
None of these cases are exactly complicated, but the page fault case in
particular is just repeated slightly differently many many times. And
ia64 in particular has a fairly complicated situation where you can have
both a regular grow-down stack _and_ a special grow-up stack for the
register backing store.
So to make this slightly more manageable, the bulk of this series is to
first create a helper function for the most common page fault case, and
convert all the straightforward architectures to it.
Thus the new 'lock_mm_and_find_vma()' helper function, which ends up
being used by x86, arm, powerpc, mips, riscv, alpha, arc, csky, hexagon,
loongarch, nios2, sh, sparc32, and xtensa. So we not only convert more
than half the architectures, we now have more shared code and avoid some
of those twisty little passages.
And largely due to this common helper function, the full diffstat of
this series ends up deleting more lines than it adds.
That still leaves eight architectures (ia64, m68k, microblaze, openrisc,
parisc, s390, sparc64 and um) that end up doing 'expand_stack()'
manually because they are doing something slightly different from the
normal pattern. Along with the couple of special cases in execve() and
GUP.
So there's a couple of patches that first create 'locked' helper
versions of the stack expansion functions, so that there's a obvious
path forward in the conversion. The execve() case is then actually
pretty simple, and is a nice cleanup from our old "grow-up stackls are
special, because at execve time even they grow down".
The #ifdef CONFIG_STACK_GROWSUP in that code just goes away, because
it's just more straightforward to write out the stack expansion there
manually, instead od having get_user_pages_remote() do it for us in some
situations but not others and have to worry about locking rules for GUP.
And the final step is then to just convert the remaining odd cases to a
new world order where 'expand_stack()' is called with the mmap_lock held
for reading, but where it might drop it and upgrade it to a write, only
to return with it held for reading (in the success case) or with it
completely dropped (in the failure case).
In the process, we remove all the stack expansion from GUP (where
dropping the lock wouldn't be ok without special rules anyway), and add
it in manually to __access_remote_vm() for ptrace().
Thanks to Adrian Glaubitz and Frank Scheiner who tested the ia64 cases.
Everything else here felt pretty straightforward, but the ia64 rules for
stack expansion are really quite odd and very different from everything
else. Also thanks to Vegard Nossum who caught me getting one of those
odd conditions entirely the wrong way around.
Anyway, I think I want to actually move all the stack expansion code to
a whole new file of its own, rather than have it split up between
mm/mmap.c and mm/memory.c, but since this will have to be backported to
the initial maple tree vma introduction anyway, I tried to keep the
patches _fairly_ minimal.
Also, while I don't think it's valid to expand the stack from GUP, the
final patch in here is a "warn if some crazy GUP user wants to try to
expand the stack" patch. That one will be reverted before the final
release, but it's left to catch any odd cases during the merge window
and release candidates.

c2508ec5a5 |
mm: introduce new 'lock_mm_and_find_vma()' page fault helper
.. and make x86 use it. This basically extracts the existing x86 "find and expand faulting vma" code, but extends it to also take the mmap lock for writing in case we actually do need to expand the vma. We've historically short-circuited that case, and have some rather ugly special logic to serialize the stack segment expansion (since we only hold the mmap lock for reading) that doesn't match the normal VM locking. That slight violation of locking worked well, right up until it didn't: the maple tree code really does want proper locking even for simple extension of an existing vma. So extract the code for "look up the vma of the fault" from x86, fix it up to do the necessary write locking, and make it available as a helper function for other architectures that can use the common helper. Note: I say "common helper", but it really only handles the normal stack-grows-down case. Which is all architectures except for PA-RISC and IA64. So some rare architectures can't use the helper, but if they care they'll just need to open-code this logic. It's also worth pointing out that this code really would like to have an optimistic "mmap_upgrade_trylock()" to make it quicker to go from a read-lock (for the common case) to taking the write lock (for having to extend the vma) in the normal single-threaded situation where there is no other locking activity. But that _is_ all the very uncommon special case, so while it would be nice to have such an operation, it probably doesn't matter in reality. I did put in the skeleton code for such a possible future expansion, even if it only acts as pseudo-documentation for what we're doing. Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org> |
