[PATCH] Swapless page migration: add R/W migration entries Implement read/write migration ptes We take the upper two swapfiles for the two types of migration ptes and define a series of macros in swapops.h. The VM is modified to handle the migration entries. migration entries can only be encountered when the page they are pointing to is locked. This limits the number of places one has to fix. We also check in copy_pte_range and in mprotect_pte_range() for migration ptes. We check for migration ptes in do_swap_cache and call a function that will then wait on the page lock. This allows us to effectively stop all accesses to apge. Migration entries are created by try_to_unmap if called for migration and removed by local functions in migrate.c From: Hugh Dickins <hugh@veritas.com> Several times while testing swapless page migration (I've no NUMA, just hacking it up to migrate recklessly while running load), I've hit the BUG_ON(!PageLocked(p)) in migration_entry_to_page. This comes from an orphaned migration entry, unrelated to the current correctly locked migration, but hit by remove_anon_migration_ptes as it checks an address in each vma of the anon_vma list. Such an orphan may be left behind if an earlier migration raced with fork: copy_one_pte can duplicate a migration entry from parent to child, after remove_anon_migration_ptes has checked the child vma, but before it has removed it from the parent vma. (If the process were later to fault on this orphaned entry, it would hit the same BUG from migration_entry_wait.) This could be fixed by locking anon_vma in copy_one_pte, but we'd rather not. There's no such problem with file pages, because vma_prio_tree_add adds child vma after parent vma, and the page table locking at each end is enough to serialize. Follow that example with anon_vma: add new vmas to the tail instead of the head. (There's no corresponding problem when inserting migration entries, because a missed pte will leave the page count and mapcount high, which is allowed for. And there's no corresponding problem when migrating via swap, because a leftover swap entry will be correctly faulted. But the swapless method has no refcounting of its entries.) From: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu> pte_unmap_unlock() takes the pte pointer as an argument. From: Hugh Dickins <hugh@veritas.com> Several times while testing swapless page migration, gcc has tried to exec a pointer instead of a string: smells like COW mappings are not being properly write-protected on fork. The protection in copy_one_pte looks very convincing, until at last you realize that the second arg to make_migration_entry is a boolean "write", and SWP_MIGRATION_READ is 30. Anyway, it's better done like in change_pte_range, using is_write_migration_entry and make_migration_entry_read. From: Hugh Dickins <hugh@veritas.com> Remove unnecessary obfuscation from sys_swapon's range check on swap type, which blew up causing memory corruption once swapless migration made MAX_SWAPFILES no longer 2 ^ MAX_SWAPFILES_SHIFT.

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).

perf: Do the big rename: Performance Counters -> Performance Events Bye-bye Performance Counters, welcome Performance Events! In the past few months the perfcounters subsystem has grown out its initial role of counting hardware events, and has become (and is becoming) a much broader generic event enumeration, reporting, logging, monitoring, analysis facility. Naming its core object 'perf_counter' and naming the subsystem 'perfcounters' has become more and more of a misnomer. With pending code like hw-breakpoints support the 'counter' name is less and less appropriate. All in one, we've decided to rename the subsystem to 'performance events' and to propagate this rename through all fields, variables and API names. (in an ABI compatible fashion) The word 'event' is also a bit shorter than 'counter' - which makes it slightly more convenient to write/handle as well. Thanks goes to Stephane Eranian who first observed this misnomer and suggested a rename. User-space tooling and ABI compatibility is not affected - this patch should be function-invariant. (Also, defconfigs were not touched to keep the size down.) This patch has been generated via the following script: FILES=$(find * -type f | grep -vE 'oprofile|[^K]config') sed -i \ -e 's/PERF_EVENT_/PERF_RECORD_/g' \ -e 's/PERF_COUNTER/PERF_EVENT/g' \ -e 's/perf_counter/perf_event/g' \ -e 's/nb_counters/nb_events/g' \ -e 's/swcounter/swevent/g' \ -e 's/tpcounter_event/tp_event/g' \ $FILES for N in $(find . -name perf_counter.[ch]); do M=$(echo $N | sed 's/perf_counter/perf_event/g') mv $N $M done FILES=$(find . -name perf_event.*) sed -i \ -e 's/COUNTER_MASK/REG_MASK/g' \ -e 's/COUNTER/EVENT/g' \ -e 's/\<event\>/event_id/g' \ -e 's/counter/event/g' \ -e 's/Counter/Event/g' \ $FILES ... to keep it as correct as possible. This script can also be used by anyone who has pending perfcounters patches - it converts a Linux kernel tree over to the new naming. We tried to time this change to the point in time where the amount of pending patches is the smallest: the end of the merge window. Namespace clashes were fixed up in a preparatory patch - and some stylistic fallout will be fixed up in a subsequent patch. ( NOTE: 'counters' are still the proper terminology when we deal with hardware registers - and these sed scripts are a bit over-eager in renaming them. I've undone some of that, but in case there's something left where 'counter' would be better than 'event' we can undo that on an individual basis instead of touching an otherwise nicely automated patch. ) Suggested-by: Stephane Eranian <eranian@google.com> Acked-by: Peter Zijlstra <a.p.zijlstra@chello.nl> Acked-by: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org> Reviewed-by: Arjan van de Ven <arjan@linux.intel.com> Cc: Mike Galbraith <efault@gmx.de> Cc: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com> Cc: Frederic Weisbecker <fweisbec@gmail.com> Cc: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org> Cc: Benjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org> Cc: David Howells <dhowells@redhat.com> Cc: Kyle McMartin <kyle@mcmartin.ca> Cc: Martin Schwidefsky <schwidefsky@de.ibm.com> Cc: "David S.

mm: numa: Do not batch handle PMD pages With the THP migration races closed it is still possible to occasionally see corruption. The problem is related to handling PMD pages in batch. When a page fault is handled it can be assumed that the page being faulted will also be flushed from the TLB. The same flushing does not happen when handling PMD pages in batch. Fixing is straight forward but there are a number of reasons not to 1. Multiple TLB flushes may have to be sent depending on what pages get migrated 2. The handling of PMDs in batch means that faults get accounted to the task that is handling the fault. While care is taken to only mark PMDs where the last CPU and PID match it can still have problems due to PID truncation when matching PIDs. 3. Batching on the PMD level may reduce faults but setting pmd_numa requires taking a heavy lock that can contend with THP migration and handling the fault requires the release/acquisition of the PTL for every page migrated. It's still pretty heavy. PMD batch handling is not something that people ever have been happy with. This patch removes it and later patches will deal with the additional fault overhead using more installigent migrate rate adaption.

mm: add a ptep_modify_prot transaction abstraction This patch adds an API for doing read-modify-write updates to a pte's protection bits which may race against hardware updates to the pte. After reading the pte, the hardware may asynchonously set the accessed or dirty bits on a pte, which would be lost when writing back the modified pte value. The existing technique to handle this race is to use ptep_get_and_clear() atomically fetch the old pte value and clear it in memory. This has the effect of marking the pte as non-present, which will prevent the hardware from updating its state. When the new value is written back, the pte will be present again, and the hardware can resume updating the access/dirty flags. When running in a virtualized environment, pagetable updates are relatively expensive, since they generally involve some trap into the hypervisor. To mitigate the cost of these updates, we tend to batch them. However, because of the atomic nature of ptep_get_and_clear(), it is inherently non-batchable. This new interface allows batching by giving the underlying implementation enough information to open a transaction between the read and write phases: ptep_modify_prot_start() returns the current pte value, and puts the pte entry into a state where either the hardware will not update the pte, or if it does, the updates will be preserved on commit. ptep_modify_prot_commit() writes back the updated pte, makes sure that any hardware updates made since ptep_modify_prot_start() are preserved. ptep_modify_prot_start() and _commit() must be exactly paired, and used while holding the appropriate pte lock. They do not protect against other software updates of the pte in any way. The current implementations of ptep_modify_prot_start and _commit are functionally unchanged from before: _start() uses ptep_get_and_clear() fetch the pte and zero the entry, preventing any hardware updates. _commit() simply writes the new pte value back knowing that the hardware has not updated the pte in the meantime.

mm: numa: Do not batch handle PMD pages With the THP migration races closed it is still possible to occasionally see corruption. The problem is related to handling PMD pages in batch. When a page fault is handled it can be assumed that the page being faulted will also be flushed from the TLB. The same flushing does not happen when handling PMD pages in batch. Fixing is straight forward but there are a number of reasons not to 1. Multiple TLB flushes may have to be sent depending on what pages get migrated 2. The handling of PMDs in batch means that faults get accounted to the task that is handling the fault. While care is taken to only mark PMDs where the last CPU and PID match it can still have problems due to PID truncation when matching PIDs. 3. Batching on the PMD level may reduce faults but setting pmd_numa requires taking a heavy lock that can contend with THP migration and handling the fault requires the release/acquisition of the PTL for every page migrated. It's still pretty heavy. PMD batch handling is not something that people ever have been happy with. This patch removes it and later patches will deal with the additional fault overhead using more installigent migrate rate adaption.

mm: fix TLB flush race between migration, and change_protection_range There are a few subtle races, between change_protection_range (used by mprotect and change_prot_numa) on one side, and NUMA page migration and compaction on the other side. The basic race is that there is a time window between when the PTE gets made non-present (PROT_NONE or NUMA), and the TLB is flushed. During that time, a CPU may continue writing to the page. This is fine most of the time, however compaction or the NUMA migration code may come in, and migrate the page away. When that happens, the CPU may continue writing, through the cached translation, to what is no longer the current memory location of the process. This only affects x86, which has a somewhat optimistic pte_accessible. All other architectures appear to be safe, and will either always flush, or flush whenever there is a valid mapping, even with no permissions (SPARC). The basic race looks like this: CPU A CPU B CPU C load TLB entry make entry PTE/PMD_NUMA fault on entry read/write old page start migrating page change PTE/PMD to new page read/write old page [*] flush TLB reload TLB from new entry read/write new page lose data [*] the old page may belong to a new user at this point! The obvious fix is to flush remote TLB entries, by making sure that pte_accessible aware of the fact that PROT_NONE and PROT_NUMA memory may still be accessible if there is a TLB flush pending for the mm. This should fix both NUMA migration and compaction.

mm: Optimize the TLB flush of sys_mprotect() and change_protection() users Reuse the NUMA code's 'modified page protections' count that change_protection() computes and skip the TLB flush if there's no changes to a range that sys_mprotect() modifies. Given that mprotect() already optimizes the same-flags case I expected this optimization to dominantly trigger on CONFIG_NUMA_BALANCING=y kernels - but even with that feature disabled it triggers rather often. There's two reasons for that: 1) While sys_mprotect() already optimizes the same-flag case: if (newflags == oldflags) { *pprev = vma; return 0; } and this test works in many cases, but it is too sharp in some others, where it differentiates between protection values that the underlying PTE format makes no distinction about, such as PROT_EXEC == PROT_READ on x86. 2) Even where the pte format over vma flag changes necessiates a modification of the pagetables, there might be no pagetables yet to modify: they might not be instantiated yet. During a regular desktop bootup this optimization hits a couple of hundred times. During a Java test I measured thousands of hits. So this optimization improves sys_mprotect() in general, not just CONFIG_NUMA_BALANCING=y kernels. [ We could further increase the efficiency of this optimization if change_pte_range() and change_huge_pmd() was a bit smarter about recognizing exact-same-value protection masks - when the hardware can do that safely. This would probably further speed up mprotect(). ] Cc: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org> Cc: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Cc: Peter Zijlstra <a.p.zijlstra@chello.nl> Cc: Andrea Arcangeli <aarcange@redhat.com> Cc: Rik van Riel <riel@redhat.com> Cc: Mel Gorman <mgorman@suse.de> Cc: Hugh Dickins <hughd@google.com> Cc: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@kernel.org>

mm: fix TLB flush race between migration, and change_protection_range There are a few subtle races, between change_protection_range (used by mprotect and change_prot_numa) on one side, and NUMA page migration and compaction on the other side. The basic race is that there is a time window between when the PTE gets made non-present (PROT_NONE or NUMA), and the TLB is flushed. During that time, a CPU may continue writing to the page. This is fine most of the time, however compaction or the NUMA migration code may come in, and migrate the page away. When that happens, the CPU may continue writing, through the cached translation, to what is no longer the current memory location of the process. This only affects x86, which has a somewhat optimistic pte_accessible. All other architectures appear to be safe, and will either always flush, or flush whenever there is a valid mapping, even with no permissions (SPARC). The basic race looks like this: CPU A CPU B CPU C load TLB entry make entry PTE/PMD_NUMA fault on entry read/write old page start migrating page change PTE/PMD to new page read/write old page [*] flush TLB reload TLB from new entry read/write new page lose data [*] the old page may belong to a new user at this point! The obvious fix is to flush remote TLB entries, by making sure that pte_accessible aware of the fact that PROT_NONE and PROT_NUMA memory may still be accessible if there is a TLB flush pending for the mm. This should fix both NUMA migration and compaction.

mm: record MAP_NORESERVE status on vmas and fix small page mprotect reservations With Mel's hugetlb private reservation support patches applied, strict overcommit semantics are applied to both shared and private huge page mappings. This can be a problem if an application relied on unlimited overcommit semantics for private mappings. An example of this would be an application which maps a huge area with the intention of using it very sparsely. These application would benefit from being able to opt-out of the strict overcommit. It should be noted that prior to hugetlb supporting demand faulting all mappings were fully populated and so applications of this type should be rare. This patch stack implements the MAP_NORESERVE mmap() flag for huge page mappings. This flag has the same meaning as for small page mappings, suppressing reservations for that mapping. Thanks to Mel Gorman for reviewing a number of early versions of these patches. This patch: When a small page mapping is created with mmap() reservations are created by default for any memory pages required. When the region is read/write the reservation is increased for every page, no reservation is needed for read-only regions (as they implicitly share the zero page). Reservations are tracked via the VM_ACCOUNT vma flag which is present when the region has reservation backing it. When we convert a region from read-only to read-write new reservations are aquired and VM_ACCOUNT is set. However, when a read-only map is created with MAP_NORESERVE it is indistinguishable from a normal mapping. When we then convert that to read/write we are forced to incorrectly create reservations for it as we have no record of the original MAP_NORESERVE. This patch introduces a new vma flag VM_NORESERVE which records the presence of the original MAP_NORESERVE flag. This allows us to distinguish these two circumstances and correctly account the reserve. As well as fixing this FIXME in the code, this makes it much easier to introduce MAP_NORESERVE support for huge pages as this flag is available consistantly for the life of the mapping. VM_ACCOUNT on the other hand is heavily used at the generic level in association with small pages.

[PATCH] mm: tracking shared dirty pages Tracking of dirty pages in shared writeable mmap()s. The idea is simple: write protect clean shared writeable pages, catch the write-fault, make writeable and set dirty. On page write-back clean all the PTE dirty bits and write protect them once again. The implementation is a tad harder, mainly because the default backing_dev_info capabilities were too loosely maintained. Hence it is not enough to test the backing_dev_info for cap_account_dirty. The current heuristic is as follows, a VMA is eligible when: - its shared writeable (vm_flags & (VM_WRITE|VM_SHARED)) == (VM_WRITE|VM_SHARED) - it is not a 'special' mapping (vm_flags & (VM_PFNMAP|VM_INSERTPAGE)) == 0 - the backing_dev_info is cap_account_dirty mapping_cap_account_dirty(vma->vm_file->f_mapping) - f_op->mmap() didn't change the default page protection Page from remap_pfn_range() are explicitly excluded because their COW semantics are already horrid enough (see vm_normal_page() in do_wp_page()) and because they don't have a backing store anyway. mprotect() is taught about the new behaviour as well. However it overrides the last condition. Cleaning the pages on write-back is done with page_mkclean() a new rmap call. It can be called on any page, but is currently only implemented for mapped pages, if the page is found the be of a VMA that accounts dirty pages it will also wrprotect the PTE. Finally, in fs/buffers.c:try_to_free_buffers(); remove clear_page_dirty() from under ->private_lock. This seems to be safe, since ->private_lock is used to serialize access to the buffers, not the page itself. This is needed because clear_page_dirty() will call into page_mkclean() and would thereby violate locking order.
