CONFIG_MEMCG_KMEM used to be a user-visible option for whether slab
tracking is enabled. It has been default-enabled and equivalent to
CONFIG_MEMCG for almost a decade. We've only grown more kernel memory
accounting sites since, and there is no imaginable cgroup usecase going
forward that wants to track user pages but not the multitude of
user-drivable kernel allocations.

Upcoming alloc tagging patches require a place to stash per-allocation
metadata.
We already do this when memcg is enabled, so this patch generalizes the
obj_cgroup * vector in struct pcpu_chunk by creating a pcpu_obj_ext type,
which we will be adding to in an upcoming patch - similarly to the
previous slabobj_ext patch.

The pcpu setup when using the page allocator sets up a new vmalloc
mapping very early in the boot process, so early that it cannot use the
flush_cache_vmap() function which may depend on structures not yet
initialized (for example in riscv, we currently send an IPI to flush
other cpus TLB).
But on some architectures, we must call flush_cache_vmap(): for example,
in riscv, some uarchs can cache invalid TLB entries so we need to flush
the new established mapping to avoid taking an exception.
So fix this by introducing a new function flush_cache_vmap_early() which
is called right after setting the new page table entry and before
accessing this new mapping. This new function implements a local flush
tlb on riscv and is no-op for other architectures (same as today).

Introduce pcpu_alloc_size() to get the size of the dynamic per-cpu
area. It will be used by bpf memory allocator in the following patches.
BPF memory allocator maintains per-cpu area caches for multiple area
sizes and its free API only has the to-be-freed per-cpu pointer, so it
needs the size of dynamic per-cpu area to select the corresponding cache
when bpf program frees the dynamic per-cpu pointer.

Currently there are two kmem-related helper functions with a confusing
semantics: memcg_kmem_enabled() and mem_cgroup_kmem_disabled().
The problem is that an obvious expectation
memcg_kmem_enabled() == !mem_cgroup_kmem_disabled(),
can be false.
mem_cgroup_kmem_disabled() is similar to mem_cgroup_disabled(): it returns
true only if CONFIG_MEMCG_KMEM is not set or the kmem accounting is
disabled using a boot time kernel option "cgroup.memory=nokmem". It never
changes the value dynamically.
memcg_kmem_enabled() is different: it always returns false until the first
non-root memory cgroup will get online (assuming the kernel memory
accounting is enabled). It's goal is to improve the performance on
systems without the cgroupfs mounted/memory controller enabled or on the
systems with only the root memory cgroup.
To make things more obvious and avoid potential bugs, let's rename
memcg_kmem_enabled() to memcg_kmem_online().

Kmemleak recently added a rbtree to store the objects allocted with
physical address. Those objects can't be freed with kmemleak_free().
According to the comments, percpu allocations are tracked by kmemleak
separately. Kmemleak_free() was used to avoid the unnecessary
tracking. If kmemleak_free() fails, those objects would be scanned by
kmemleak, which is unnecessary but shouldn't lead to other effects.
Use kmemleak_ignore_phys() instead of kmemleak_free() for those
objects.

Prior to "percpu: implement partial chunk depopulation",
pcpu_depopulate_chunk() was called only on the destruction path. This
meant the virtual address range was on its way back to vmalloc which
will handle flushing the tlbs for us.
However, with pcpu_reclaim_populated(), we are now calling
pcpu_depopulate_chunk() during the active lifecycle of a chunk.
Therefore, we need to flush the tlb as well otherwise we can end up
accessing the wrong page through an invalid tlb mapping as reported in
[1].

Pull percpu updates from Dennis Zhou:
- percpu chunk depopulation - depopulate backing pages for chunks with
empty pages when we exceed a global threshold without those pages.
This lets us reclaim a portion of memory that would previously be
lost until the full chunk would be freed (possibly never).
- memcg accounting cleanup - previously separate chunks were managed
for normal allocations and __GFP_ACCOUNT allocations. These are now
consolidated which cleans up the code quite a bit.
- a few misc clean ups for clang warnings

percpu: fix a comment about the chunks ordering
pcpu_balance_workfn() unconditionally calls pcpu_balance_free(),
pcpu_reclaim_populated(), pcpu_balance_populated() and
pcpu_balance_free() again.
Each call to pcpu_balance_free() and pcpu_reclaim_populated() will
cause at least one acquisition of the pcpu_lock. So even if the
balancing was scheduled because of a failed atomic allocation,
pcpu_lock will be acquired at least 4 times. This obviously
increases the contention on the pcpu_lock.
To optimize the scheme let's grab the pcpu_lock on the upper level
(in pcpu_balance_workfn()) and keep it generally locked for the whole
duration of the scheduled work, but release conditionally to perform
any slow operations like chunk (de)population and creation of new
chunks.

The current implementation of the memcg accounting of the percpu
memory is based on the idea of having two separate sets of chunks for
accounted and non-accounted memory. This approach has an advantage
of not wasting any extra memory for memcg data for non-accounted
chunks, however it complicates the code and leads to a higher chunks
number due to a lower chunk utilization.
Instead of having two chunk types it's possible to declare all* chunks
memcg-aware unless the kernel memory accounting is disabled globally
by a boot option. The size of objcg_array is usually small in
comparison to chunks themselves (it obviously depends on the number of
CPUs), so even if some chunk will have no accounted allocations, the
memory waste isn't significant and will likely be compensated by
a higher chunk utilization. Also, with time more and more percpu
allocations will likely become accounted.
* The first chunk is initialized before the memory cgroup subsystem,
so we don't know for sure whether we need to allocate obj_cgroups.
Because it's small, let's make it free for use. Then we don't need
to allocate obj_cgroups for it.

From Roman ("percpu: partial chunk depopulation"):
In our [Facebook] production experience the percpu memory allocator is
sometimes struggling with returning the memory to the system. A typical
example is a creation of several thousands memory cgroups (each has
several chunks of the percpu data used for vmstats, vmevents,
ref counters etc). Deletion and complete releasing of these cgroups
doesn't always lead to a shrinkage of the percpu memory, so that
sometimes there are several GB's of memory wasted.
The underlying problem is the fragmentation: to release an underlying
chunk all percpu allocations should be released first. The percpu
allocator tends to top up chunks to improve the utilization. It means
new small-ish allocations (e.g. percpu ref counters) are placed onto
almost filled old-ish chunks, effectively pinning them in memory.
This patchset solves this problem by implementing a partial depopulation
of percpu chunks: chunks with many empty pages are being asynchronously
depopulated and the pages are returned to the system.
To illustrate the problem the following script can be used:
--
cd /sys/fs/cgroup
mkdir percpu_test
echo "+memory" > percpu_test/cgroup.subtree_control
cat /proc/meminfo | grep Percpu
for i in `seq 1 1000`; do
mkdir percpu_test/cg_"${i}"
for j in `seq 1 10`; do
mkdir percpu_test/cg_"${i}"_"${j}"
done
done
cat /proc/meminfo | grep Percpu
for i in `seq 1 1000`; do
for j in `seq 1 10`; do
rmdir percpu_test/cg_"${i}"_"${j}"
done
done
sleep 10
cat /proc/meminfo | grep Percpu
for i in `seq 1 1000`; do
rmdir percpu_test/cg_"${i}"
done
rmdir percpu_test
--
It creates 11000 memory cgroups and removes every 10 out of 11.
It prints the initial size of the percpu memory, the size after
creating all cgroups and the size after deleting most of them.
Results:
vanilla:
./percpu_test.sh
Percpu: 7488 kB
Percpu: 481152 kB
Percpu: 481152 kB
with this patchset applied:
./percpu_test.sh
Percpu: 7488 kB
Percpu: 481408 kB
Percpu: 135552 kB
The total size of the percpu memory was reduced by more than 3.5 times.
This patch:
This patch implements partial depopulation of percpu chunks.
As of now, a chunk can be depopulated only as a part of the final
destruction, if there are no more outstanding allocations. However
to minimize a memory waste it might be useful to depopulate a
partially filed chunk, if a small number of outstanding allocations
prevents the chunk from being fully reclaimed.
This patch implements the following depopulation process: it scans
over the chunk pages, looks for a range of empty and populated pages
and performs the depopulation. To avoid races with new allocations,
the chunk is previously isolated. After the depopulation the chunk is
sidelined to a special list or freed. New allocations prefer using
active chunks to sidelined chunks. If a sidelined chunk is used, it is
reintegrated to the active lists.
The depopulation is scheduled on the free path if the chunk is all of
the following:
1) has more than 1/4 of total pages free and populated
2) the system has enough free percpu pages aside of this chunk
3) isn't the reserved chunk
4) isn't the first chunk
If it's already depopulated but got free populated pages, it's a good
target too. The chunk is moved to a special slot,
pcpu_to_depopulate_slot, chunk->isolated is set, and the balance work
item is scheduled. On isolation, these pages are removed from the
pcpu_nr_empty_pop_pages. It is constantly replaced to the
to_depopulate_slot when it meets these qualifications.
pcpu_reclaim_populated() iterates over the to_depopulate_slot until it
becomes empty. The depopulation is performed in the reverse direction to
keep populated pages close to the beginning. Depopulated chunks are
sidelined to preferentially avoid them for new allocations. When no
active chunk can suffice a new allocation, sidelined chunks are first
checked before creating a new chunk.

of free bytes. Update the corresponding comment to reflect this.

pcpu_build_alloc_info() is an __init function that makes a call to
cpumask_clear_cpu(). With CONFIG_GCOV_PROFILE_ALL enabled, the inline
heuristics are modified and such cpumask_clear_cpu() which is marked
inline doesn't get inlined. Because it works on mask in __initdata,
modpost throws a section mismatch error.
Arnd sent a patch with the flatten attribute as an alternative [2]. I've
added it to compiler_attributes.h.
modpost complaint:
WARNING: modpost: vmlinux.o(.text+0x735425): Section mismatch in reference from the function cpumask_clear_cpu() to the variable .init.data:pcpu_build_alloc_info.mask
The function cpumask_clear_cpu() references
the variable __initdata pcpu_build_alloc_info.mask.
This is often because cpumask_clear_cpu lacks a __initdata
annotation or the annotation of pcpu_build_alloc_info.mask is wrong.
clang output:
mm/percpu.c:2724:5: remark: cpumask_clear_cpu not inlined into pcpu_build_alloc_info because too costly to inline (cost=725, threshold=325) [-Rpass-missed=inline]
