mm/mmap: check for RLIMIT_AS before unmapping Fix a corner case for MAP_FIXED when requested mapping length is larger than rlimit for virtual memory. In such case any overlapping mappings are unmapped before we check for the limit and return ENOMEM. The check is moved before the loop that unmaps overlapping parts of existing mappings. When we are about to hit the limit (currently mapped pages + len > limit) we scan for overlapping pages and check again accounting for them. This fixes situation when userspace program expects that the previous mappings are preserved after the mmap() syscall has returned with error. (POSIX clearly states that successfull mapping shall replace any previous mappings.) This corner case was found and can be tested with LTP testcase: testcases/open_posix_testsuite/conformance/interfaces/mmap/24-2.c In this case the mmap, which is clearly over current limit, unmaps dynamic libraries and the testcase segfaults right after returning into userspace. I've also looked at the second instance of the unmapping loop in the do_brk(). The do_brk() is called from brk() syscall and from vm_brk(). The brk() syscall checks for overlapping mappings and bails out when there are any (so it can't be triggered from the brk syscall). The vm_brk() is called only from binmft handlers so it shouldn't be triggered unless binmft handler created overlapping mappings.

mm: per-thread vma caching This patch is a continuation of efforts trying to optimize find_vma(), avoiding potentially expensive rbtree walks to locate a vma upon faults. The original approach (https://lkml.org/lkml/2013/11/1/410), where the largest vma was also cached, ended up being too specific and random, thus further comparison with other approaches were needed. There are two things to consider when dealing with this, the cache hit rate and the latency of find_vma(). Improving the hit-rate does not necessarily translate in finding the vma any faster, as the overhead of any fancy caching schemes can be too high to consider. We currently cache the last used vma for the whole address space, which provides a nice optimization, reducing the total cycles in find_vma() by up to 250%, for workloads with good locality. On the other hand, this simple scheme is pretty much useless for workloads with poor locality. Analyzing ebizzy runs shows that, no matter how many threads are running, the mmap_cache hit rate is less than 2%, and in many situations below 1%. The proposed approach is to replace this scheme with a small per-thread cache, maximizing hit rates at a very low maintenance cost. Invalidations are performed by simply bumping up a 32-bit sequence number. The only expensive operation is in the rare case of a seq number overflow, where all caches that share the same address space are flushed. Upon a miss, the proposed replacement policy is based on the page number that contains the virtual address in question. Concretely, the following results are seen on an 80 core, 8 socket x86-64 box: 1) System bootup: Most programs are single threaded, so the per-thread scheme does improve ~50% hit rate by just adding a few more slots to the cache. +----------------+----------+------------------+ | caching scheme | hit-rate | cycles (billion) | +----------------+----------+------------------+ | baseline | 50.61% | 19.90 | | patched | 73.45% | 13.58 | +----------------+----------+------------------+ 2) Kernel build: This one is already pretty good with the current approach as we're dealing with good locality. +----------------+----------+------------------+ | caching scheme | hit-rate | cycles (billion) | +----------------+----------+------------------+ | baseline | 75.28% | 11.03 | | patched | 88.09% | 9.31 | +----------------+----------+------------------+ 3) Oracle 11g Data Mining (4k pages): Similar to the kernel build workload. +----------------+----------+------------------+ | caching scheme | hit-rate | cycles (billion) | +----------------+----------+------------------+ | baseline | 70.66% | 17.14 | | patched | 91.15% | 12.57 | +----------------+----------+------------------+ 4) Ebizzy: There's a fair amount of variation from run to run, but this approach always shows nearly perfect hit rates, while baseline is just about non-existent. The amounts of cycles can fluctuate between anywhere from ~60 to ~116 for the baseline scheme, but this approach reduces it considerably. For instance, with 80 threads: +----------------+----------+------------------+ | caching scheme | hit-rate | cycles (billion) | +----------------+----------+------------------+ | baseline | 1.06% | 91.54 | | patched | 99.97% | 14.18 | +----------------+----------+------------------+ [akpm@linux-foundation.org: fix nommu build, per Davidlohr] [akpm@linux-foundation.org: document vmacache_valid() logic] [akpm@linux-foundation.org: attempt to untangle header files] [akpm@linux-foundation.org: add vmacache_find() BUG_ON] [hughd@google.com: add vmacache_valid_mm() (from Oleg)] [akpm@linux-foundation.org: coding-style fixes] [akpm@linux-foundation.org: adjust and enhance comments] Signed-off-by: Davidlohr Bueso <davidlohr@hp.com> Reviewed-by: Rik van Riel <riel@redhat.com> Acked-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org> Reviewed-by: Michel Lespinasse <walken@google.com> Cc: Oleg Nesterov <oleg@redhat.com> Tested-by: Hugh Dickins <hughd@google.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

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.

uprobes, mm, x86: Add the ability to install and remove uprobes breakpoints Add uprobes support to the core kernel, with x86 support. This commit adds the kernel facilities, the actual uprobes user-space ABI and perf probe support comes in later commits. General design: Uprobes are maintained in an rb-tree indexed by inode and offset (the offset here is from the start of the mapping). For a unique (inode, offset) tuple, there can be at most one uprobe in the rb-tree. Since the (inode, offset) tuple identifies a unique uprobe, more than one user may be interested in the same uprobe. This provides the ability to connect multiple 'consumers' to the same uprobe. Each consumer defines a handler and a filter (optional). The 'handler' is run every time the uprobe is hit, if it matches the 'filter' criteria. The first consumer of a uprobe causes the breakpoint to be inserted at the specified address and subsequent consumers are appended to this list. On subsequent probes, the consumer gets appended to the existing list of consumers. The breakpoint is removed when the last consumer unregisters. For all other unregisterations, the consumer is removed from the list of consumers. Given a inode, we get a list of the mms that have mapped the inode. Do the actual registration if mm maps the page where a probe needs to be inserted/removed. We use a temporary list to walk through the vmas that map the inode. - The number of maps that map the inode, is not known before we walk the rmap and keeps changing. - extending vm_area_struct wasn't recommended, it's a size-critical data structure. - There can be more than one maps of the inode in the same mm. We add callbacks to the mmap methods to keep an eye on text vmas that are of interest to uprobes. When a vma of interest is mapped, we insert the breakpoint at the right address. Uprobe works by replacing the instruction at the address defined by (inode, offset) with the arch specific breakpoint instruction. We save a copy of the original instruction at the uprobed address. This is needed for: a. executing the instruction out-of-line (xol). b. instruction analysis for any subsequent fixups. c. restoring the instruction back when the uprobe is unregistered. We insert or delete a breakpoint instruction, and this breakpoint instruction is assumed to be the smallest instruction available on the platform. For fixed size instruction platforms this is trivially true, for variable size instruction platforms the breakpoint instruction is typically the smallest (often a single byte). Writing the instruction is done by COWing the page and changing the instruction during the copy, this even though most platforms allow atomic writes of the breakpoint instruction. This also mirrors the behaviour of a ptrace() memory write to a PRIVATE file map. The core worker is derived from KSM's replace_page() logic. In essence, similar to KSM: a. allocate a new page and copy over contents of the page that has the uprobed vaddr b. modify the copy and insert the breakpoint at the required address c. switch the original page with the copy containing the breakpoint d. flush page tables. replace_page() is being replicated here because of some minor changes in the type of pages and also because Hugh Dickins had plans to improve replace_page() for KSM specific work. Instruction analysis on x86 is based on instruction decoder and determines if an instruction can be probed and determines the necessary fixups after singlestep. Instruction analysis is done at probe insertion time so that we avoid having to repeat the same analysis every time a probe is hit. A lot of code here is due to the improvement/suggestions/inputs from Peter Zijlstra. Changelog: (v10): - Add code to clear REX.B prefix as suggested by Denys Vlasenko and Masami Hiramatsu. (v9): - Use insn_offset_modrm as suggested by Masami Hiramatsu. (v7): Handle comments from Peter Zijlstra: - Dont take reference to inode. (expect inode to uprobe_register to be sane). - Use PTR_ERR to set the return value. - No need to take reference to inode. - use PTR_ERR to return error value. - register and uprobe_unregister share code. (v5): - Modified del_consumer as per comments from Peter. - Drop reference to inode before dropping reference to uprobe. - Use i_size_read(inode) instead of inode->i_size. - Ensure uprobe->consumers is NULL, before __uprobe_unregister() is called. - Includes errno.h as recommended by Stephen Rothwell to fix a build issue on sparc defconfig - Remove restrictions while unregistering. - Earlier code leaked inode references under some conditions while registering/unregistering. - Continue the vma-rmap walk even if the intermediate vma doesnt meet the requirements. - Validate the vma found by find_vma before inserting/removing the breakpoint - Call del_consumer under mutex_lock. - Use hash locks. - Handle mremap. - Introduce find_least_offset_node() instead of close match logic in find_uprobe - Uprobes no more depends on MM_OWNER; No reference to task_structs while inserting/removing a probe. - Uses read_mapping_page instead of grab_cache_page so that the pages have valid content. - pass NULL to get_user_pages for the task parameter. - call SetPageUptodate on the new page allocated in write_opcode. - fix leaking a reference to the new page under certain conditions. - Include Instruction Decoder if Uprobes gets defined. - Remove const attributes for instruction prefix arrays. - Uses mm_context to know if the application is 32 bit.

[PATCH] freepgt: free_pgtables use vma list Recent woes with some arches needing their own pgd_addr_end macro; and 4-level clear_page_range regression since 2.6.10's clear_page_tables; and its long-standing well-known inefficiency in searching throughout the higher-level page tables for those few entries to clear and free: all can be blamed on ignoring the list of vmas when we free page tables. Replace exit_mmap's clear_page_range of the total user address space by free_pgtables operating on the mm's vma list; unmap_region use it in the same way, giving floor and ceiling beyond which it may not free tables. This brings lmbench fork/exec/sh numbers back to 2.6.10 (unless preempt is enabled, in which case latency fixes spoil unmap_vmas throughput). Beware: the do_mmap_pgoff driver failure case must now use unmap_region instead of zap_page_range, since a page table might have been allocated, and can only be freed while it is touched by some vma. Move free_pgtables from mmap.c to memory.c, where its lower levels are adapted from the clear_page_range levels. (Most of free_pgtables' old code was actually for a non-existent case, prev not properly set up, dating from before hch gave us split_vma.) Pass mmu_gather** in the public interfaces, since we might want to add latency lockdrops later; but no attempt to do so yet, going by vma should itself reduce latency. But what if is_hugepage_only_range? Those ia64 and ppc64 cases need careful examination: put that off until a later patch of the series. What of x86_64's 32bit vdso page __map_syscall32 maps outside any vma? And the range to sparc64's flush_tlb_pgtables? It's less clear to me now that we need to do more than is done here - every PMD_SIZE ever occupied will be flushed, do we really have to flush every PGDIR_SIZE ever partially occupied? A shame to complicate it unnecessarily. Special thanks to David Miller for time spent repairing my ceilings.

This was done so that a user could recover if they launched a memory hogging process. Without the reserve, a user would easily run into a message such as: bash: fork: Cannot allocate memory 2. admin reserve Additionally, a hardcoded 3% of free memory is reserved for root in both overcommit 'guess' and 'never' modes. This was intended to prevent a scenario where root-cant-log-in and perform recovery operations. Note that this reserve shrinks, and doesn't guarantee a useful reserve. Motivation The two hardcoded memory reserves should be updated to account for current memory sizes. Also, the admin reserve would be more useful if it didn't shrink too much. When the current code was originally written, 1GB was considered "enterprise". Now the 3% reserve can grow to multiple GB on large memory systems, and it only needs to be a few hundred MB at most to enable a user or admin to recover a system with an unwanted memory hogging process. I've found that reducing these reserves is especially beneficial for a specific type of application load: * single application system * one or few processes (e.g. one per core) * allocating all available memory * not initializing every page immediately * long running I've run scientific clusters with this sort of load. A long running job sometimes failed many hours (weeks of CPU time) into a calculation. They weren't initializing all of their memory immediately, and they weren't using calloc, so I put systems into overcommit 'never' mode. These clusters run diskless and have no swap. However, with the current reserves, a user wishing to allocate as much memory as possible to one process may be prevented from using, for example, almost 2GB out of 32GB. The effect is less, but still significant when a user starts a job with one process per core. I have repeatedly seen a set of processes requesting the same amount of memory fail because one of them could not allocate the amount of memory a user would expect to be able to allocate. For example, Message Passing Interfce (MPI) processes, one per core. And it is similar for other parallel programming frameworks. Changing this reserve code will make the overcommit never mode more useful by allowing applications to allocate nearly all of the available memory. Also, the new admin_reserve_kbytes will be safer than the current behavior since the hardcoded 3% of available memory reserve can shrink to something useless in the case where applications have grabbed all available memory. Risks * "bash: fork: Cannot allocate memory" The downside of the first patch-- which creates a tunable user reserve that is only used in overcommit 'never' mode--is that an admin can set it so low that a user may not be able to kill their process, even if they already have a shell prompt. Of course, a user can get in the same predicament with the current 3% reserve--they just have to launch processes until 3% becomes negligible. * root-cant-log-in problem The second patch, adding the tunable rootuser_reserve_pages, allows the admin to shoot themselves in the foot by setting it too small. They can easily get the system into a state where root-can't-log-in. However, the new admin_reserve_kbytes will be safer than the current behavior since the hardcoded 3% of available memory reserve can shrink to something useless in the case where applications have grabbed all available memory. Alternatives * Memory cgroups provide a more flexible way to limit application memory. Not everyone wants to set up cgroups or deal with their overhead. * We could create a fourth overcommit mode which provides smaller reserves. The size of useful reserves may be drastically different depending on the whether the system is embedded or enterprise. * Force users to initialize all of their memory or use calloc. Some users don't want/expect the system to overcommit when they malloc. Overcommit 'never' mode is for this scenario, and it should work well. The new user and admin reserve tunables are simple to use, with low overhead compared to cgroups. The patches preserve current behavior where 3% of memory is less than 128MB, except that the admin reserve doesn't shrink to an unusable size under pressure. The code allows admins to tune for embedded and enterprise usage. FAQ * How is the root-cant-login problem addressed? What happens if admin_reserve_pages is set to 0? Root is free to shoot themselves in the foot by setting admin_reserve_kbytes too low. On x86_64, the minimum useful reserve is: 8MB for overcommit 'guess' 128MB for overcommit 'never' admin_reserve_pages defaults to min(3% free memory, 8MB) So, anyone switching to 'never' mode needs to adjust admin_reserve_pages. * How do you calculate a minimum useful reserve? A user or the admin needs enough memory to login and perform recovery operations, which includes, at a minimum: sshd or login + bash (or some other shell) + top (or ps, kill, etc.) For overcommit 'guess', we can sum resident set sizes (RSS) because we only need enough memory to handle what the recovery programs will typically use. On x86_64 this is about 8MB. For overcommit 'never', we can take the max of their virtual sizes (VSZ) and add the sum of their RSS. We use VSZ instead of RSS because mode forces us to ensure we can fulfill all of the requested memory allocations-- even if the programs only use a fraction of what they ask for. On x86_64 this is about 128MB. When swap is enabled, reserves are useful even when they are as small as 10MB, regardless of overcommit mode. When both swap and overcommit are disabled, then the admin should tune the reserves higher to be absolutley safe. Over 230MB each was safest in my testing. * What happens if user_reserve_pages is set to 0? Note, this only affects overcomitt 'never' mode. Then a user will be able to allocate all available memory minus admin_reserve_kbytes. However, they will easily see a message such as: "bash: fork: Cannot allocate memory" And they won't be able to recover/kill their application. The admin should be able to recover the system if admin_reserve_kbytes is set appropriately. * What's the difference between overcommit 'guess' and 'never'? "Guess" allows an allocation if there are enough free + reclaimable pages. It has a hardcoded 3% of free pages reserved for root. "Never" allows an allocation if there is enough swap + a configurable percentage (default is 50) of physical RAM. It has a hardcoded 3% of free pages reserved for root, like "Guess" mode. It also has a hardcoded 3% of the current process size reserved for additional applications. * Why is overcommit 'guess' not suitable even when an app eventually writes to every page? It takes free pages, file pages, available swap pages, reclaimable slab pages into consideration. In other words, these are all pages available, then why isn't overcommit suitable? Because it only looks at the present state of the system. It does not take into account the memory that other applications have malloced, but haven't initialized yet. It overcommits the system. Test Summary There was little change in behavior in the default overcommit 'guess' mode with swap enabled before and after the patch. This was expected. Systems run most predictably (i.e. no oom kills) in overcommit 'never' mode with swap enabled. This also allowed the most memory to be allocated to a user application. Overcommit 'guess' mode without swap is a bad idea. It is easy to crash the system. None of the other tested combinations crashed. This matches my experience on the Roadrunner supercomputer. Without the tunable user reserve, a system in overcommit 'never' mode and without swap does not allow the admin to recover, although the admin can. With the new tunable reserves, a system in overcommit 'never' mode and without swap can be configured to: 1. maximize user-allocatable memory, running close to the edge of recoverability 2. maximize recoverability, sacrificing allocatable memory to ensure that a user cannot take down a system Test Description Fedora 18 VM - 4 x86_64 cores, 5725MB RAM, 4GB Swap System is booted into multiuser console mode, with unnecessary services turned off.

swap: add per-partition lock for swapfile swap_lock is heavily contended when I test swap to 3 fast SSD (even slightly slower than swap to 2 such SSD). The main contention comes from swap_info_get(). This patch tries to fix the gap with adding a new per-partition lock. Global data like nr_swapfiles, total_swap_pages, least_priority and swap_list are still protected by swap_lock. nr_swap_pages is an atomic now, it can be changed without swap_lock. In theory, it's possible get_swap_page() finds no swap pages but actually there are free swap pages. But sounds not a big problem. Accessing partition specific data (like scan_swap_map and so on) is only protected by swap_info_struct.lock. Changing swap_info_struct.flags need hold swap_lock and swap_info_struct.lock, because scan_scan_map() will check it. read the flags is ok with either the locks hold. If both swap_lock and swap_info_struct.lock must be hold, we always hold the former first to avoid deadlock. swap_entry_free() can change swap_list. To delete that code, we add a new highest_priority_index. Whenever get_swap_page() is called, we check it. If it's valid, we use it. It's a pity get_swap_page() still holds swap_lock(). But in practice, swap_lock() isn't heavily contended in my test with this patch (or I can say there are other much more heavier bottlenecks like TLB flush). And BTW, looks get_swap_page() doesn't really need the lock. We never free swap_info[] and we check SWAP_WRITEOK flag. The only risk without the lock is we could swapout to some low priority swap, but we can quickly recover after several rounds of swap, so sounds not a big deal to me. But I'd prefer to fix this if it's a real problem. "swap: make each swap partition have one address_space" improved the swapout speed from 1.7G/s to 2G/s. This patch further improves the speed to 2.3G/s, so around 15% improvement. It's a multi-process test, so TLB flush isn't the biggest bottleneck before the patches.

They weren't initializing all of their memory immediately, and they weren't using calloc, so I put systems into overcommit 'never' mode. These clusters run diskless and have no swap. However, with the current reserves, a user wishing to allocate as much memory as possible to one process may be prevented from using, for example, almost 2GB out of 32GB. The effect is less, but still significant when a user starts a job with one process per core. I have repeatedly seen a set of processes requesting the same amount of memory fail because one of them could not allocate the amount of memory a user would expect to be able to allocate. For example, Message Passing Interfce (MPI) processes, one per core. And it is similar for other parallel programming frameworks. Changing this reserve code will make the overcommit never mode more useful by allowing applications to allocate nearly all of the available memory. Also, the new admin_reserve_kbytes will be safer than the current behavior since the hardcoded 3% of available memory reserve can shrink to something useless in the case where applications have grabbed all available memory. Risks * "bash: fork: Cannot allocate memory" The downside of the first patch-- which creates a tunable user reserve that is only used in overcommit 'never' mode--is that an admin can set it so low that a user may not be able to kill their process, even if they already have a shell prompt. Of course, a user can get in the same predicament with the current 3% reserve--they just have to launch processes until 3% becomes negligible. * root-cant-log-in problem The second patch, adding the tunable rootuser_reserve_pages, allows the admin to shoot themselves in the foot by setting it too small. They can easily get the system into a state where root-can't-log-in. However, the new admin_reserve_kbytes will be safer than the current behavior since the hardcoded 3% of available memory reserve can shrink to something useless in the case where applications have grabbed all available memory. Alternatives * Memory cgroups provide a more flexible way to limit application memory. Not everyone wants to set up cgroups or deal with their overhead. * We could create a fourth overcommit mode which provides smaller reserves. The size of useful reserves may be drastically different depending on the whether the system is embedded or enterprise. * Force users to initialize all of their memory or use calloc. Some users don't want/expect the system to overcommit when they malloc. Overcommit 'never' mode is for this scenario, and it should work well. The new user and admin reserve tunables are simple to use, with low overhead compared to cgroups. The patches preserve current behavior where 3% of memory is less than 128MB, except that the admin reserve doesn't shrink to an unusable size under pressure. The code allows admins to tune for embedded and enterprise usage. FAQ * How is the root-cant-login problem addressed? What happens if admin_reserve_pages is set to 0? Root is free to shoot themselves in the foot by setting admin_reserve_kbytes too low. On x86_64, the minimum useful reserve is: 8MB for overcommit 'guess' 128MB for overcommit 'never' admin_reserve_pages defaults to min(3% free memory, 8MB) So, anyone switching to 'never' mode needs to adjust admin_reserve_pages. * How do you calculate a minimum useful reserve? A user or the admin needs enough memory to login and perform recovery operations, which includes, at a minimum: sshd or login + bash (or some other shell) + top (or ps, kill, etc.) For overcommit 'guess', we can sum resident set sizes (RSS) because we only need enough memory to handle what the recovery programs will typically use. On x86_64 this is about 8MB. For overcommit 'never', we can take the max of their virtual sizes (VSZ) and add the sum of their RSS. We use VSZ instead of RSS because mode forces us to ensure we can fulfill all of the requested memory allocations-- even if the programs only use a fraction of what they ask for. On x86_64 this is about 128MB. When swap is enabled, reserves are useful even when they are as small as 10MB, regardless of overcommit mode. When both swap and overcommit are disabled, then the admin should tune the reserves higher to be absolutley safe. Over 230MB each was safest in my testing. * What happens if user_reserve_pages is set to 0? Note, this only affects overcomitt 'never' mode. Then a user will be able to allocate all available memory minus admin_reserve_kbytes. However, they will easily see a message such as: "bash: fork: Cannot allocate memory" And they won't be able to recover/kill their application. The admin should be able to recover the system if admin_reserve_kbytes is set appropriately. * What's the difference between overcommit 'guess' and 'never'? "Guess" allows an allocation if there are enough free + reclaimable pages. It has a hardcoded 3% of free pages reserved for root. "Never" allows an allocation if there is enough swap + a configurable percentage (default is 50) of physical RAM. It has a hardcoded 3% of free pages reserved for root, like "Guess" mode. It also has a hardcoded 3% of the current process size reserved for additional applications. * Why is overcommit 'guess' not suitable even when an app eventually writes to every page? It takes free pages, file pages, available swap pages, reclaimable slab pages into consideration. In other words, these are all pages available, then why isn't overcommit suitable? Because it only looks at the present state of the system. It does not take into account the memory that other applications have malloced, but haven't initialized yet. It overcommits the system. Test Summary There was little change in behavior in the default overcommit 'guess' mode with swap enabled before and after the patch. This was expected. Systems run most predictably (i.e. no oom kills) in overcommit 'never' mode with swap enabled. This also allowed the most memory to be allocated to a user application. Overcommit 'guess' mode without swap is a bad idea. It is easy to crash the system. None of the other tested combinations crashed. This matches my experience on the Roadrunner supercomputer. Without the tunable user reserve, a system in overcommit 'never' mode and without swap does not allow the admin to recover, although the admin can. With the new tunable reserves, a system in overcommit 'never' mode and without swap can be configured to: 1. maximize user-allocatable memory, running close to the edge of recoverability 2. maximize recoverability, sacrificing allocatable memory to ensure that a user cannot take down a system Test Description Fedora 18 VM - 4 x86_64 cores, 5725MB RAM, 4GB Swap System is booted into multiuser console mode, with unnecessary services turned off.

But NR_CPUS proportional isn't good calculation. In general, possibility of lock contention is proportional to the number of online cpus, not theorical maximum cpus (NR_CPUS). The current kernel has generic percpu-counter stuff. using it is right way. it makes code simplify and percpu_counter_read_positive() don't make underflow issue.

mm: kill vma flag VM_EXECUTABLE and mm->num_exe_file_vmas Currently the kernel sets mm->exe_file during sys_execve() and then tracks number of vmas with VM_EXECUTABLE flag in mm->num_exe_file_vmas, as soon as this counter drops to zero kernel resets mm->exe_file to NULL. Plus it resets mm->exe_file at last mmput() when mm->mm_users drops to zero. VMA with VM_EXECUTABLE flag appears after mapping file with flag MAP_EXECUTABLE, such vmas can appears only at sys_execve() or after vma splitting, because sys_mmap ignores this flag. Usually binfmt module sets mm->exe_file and mmaps executable vmas with this file, they hold mm->exe_file while task is running. comment from v2.6.25-6245-g925d1c4 ("procfs task exe symlink"), where all this stuff was introduced: > The kernel implements readlink of /proc/pid/exe by getting the file from > the first executable VMA. Then the path to the file is reconstructed and > reported as the result. > > Because of the VMA walk the code is slightly different on nommu systems. > This patch avoids separate /proc/pid/exe code on nommu systems. Instead of > walking the VMAs to find the first executable file-backed VMA we store a > reference to the exec'd file in the mm_struct. > > That reference would prevent the filesystem holding the executable file > from being unmounted even after unmapping the VMAs. So we track the number > of VM_EXECUTABLE VMAs and drop the new reference when the last one is > unmapped. This avoids pinning the mounted filesystem. exe_file's vma accounting is hooked into every file mmap/unmmap and vma split/merge just to fix some hypothetical pinning fs from umounting by mm, which already unmapped all its executable files, but still alive. Seems like currently nobody depends on this behaviour. We can try to remove this logic and keep mm->exe_file until final mmput(). mm->exe_file is still protected with mm->mmap_sem, because we want to change it via new sys_prctl(PR_SET_MM_EXE_FILE). Also via this syscall task can change its mm->exe_file and unpin mountpoint explicitly.

x86: randomize brk Randomize the location of the heap (brk) for i386 and x86_64. The range is randomized in the range starting at current brk location up to 0x02000000 offset for both architectures. This, together with pie-executable-randomization.patch and pie-executable-randomization-fix.patch, should make the address space randomization on i386 and x86_64 complete. Arjan says: This is known to break older versions of some emacs variants, whose dumper code assumed that the last variable declared in the program is equal to the start of the dynamically allocated memory region. (The dumper is the code where emacs effectively dumps core at the end of it's compilation stage; this coredump is then loaded as the main program during normal use) iirc this was 5 years or so; we found this way back when I was at RH and we first did the security stuff there (including this brk randomization). It wasn't all variants of emacs, and it got fixed as a result (I vaguely remember that emacs already had code to deal with it for other archs/oses, just ifdeffed wrongly). It's a rare and wrong assumption as a general thing, just on x86 it mostly happened to be true (but to be honest, it'll break too if gcc does something fancy or if the linker does a non-standard order). Still its something we should at least document. Note 2: afaik it only broke the emacs *build*. I'm not 100% sure about that (it IS 5 years ago) though.

mm anon rmap: replace same_anon_vma linked list with an interval tree. When a large VMA (anon or private file mapping) is first touched, which will populate its anon_vma field, and then split into many regions through the use of mprotect(), the original anon_vma ends up linking all of the vmas on a linked list. This can cause rmap to become inefficient, as we have to walk potentially thousands of irrelevent vmas before finding the one a given anon page might fall into. By replacing the same_anon_vma linked list with an interval tree (where each avc's interval is determined by its vma's start and last pgoffs), we can make rmap efficient for this use case again. While the change is large, all of its pieces are fairly simple. Most places that were walking the same_anon_vma list were looking for a known pgoff, so they can just use the anon_vma_interval_tree_foreach() interval tree iterator instead. The exception here is ksm, where the page's index is not known. It would probably be possible to rework ksm so that the index would be known, but for now I have decided to keep things simple and just walk the entirety of the interval tree there. When updating vma's that already have an anon_vma assigned, we must take care to re-index the corresponding avc's on their interval tree. This is done through the use of anon_vma_interval_tree_pre_update_vma() and anon_vma_interval_tree_post_update_vma(), which remove the avc's from their interval tree before the update and re-insert them after the update. The anon_vma stays locked during the update, so there is no chance that rmap would miss the vmas that are being updated.

mm/mmap: check for RLIMIT_AS before unmapping Fix a corner case for MAP_FIXED when requested mapping length is larger than rlimit for virtual memory. In such case any overlapping mappings are unmapped before we check for the limit and return ENOMEM. The check is moved before the loop that unmaps overlapping parts of existing mappings. When we are about to hit the limit (currently mapped pages + len > limit) we scan for overlapping pages and check again accounting for them. This fixes situation when userspace program expects that the previous mappings are preserved after the mmap() syscall has returned with error. (POSIX clearly states that successfull mapping shall replace any previous mappings.) This corner case was found and can be tested with LTP testcase: testcases/open_posix_testsuite/conformance/interfaces/mmap/24-2.c In this case the mmap, which is clearly over current limit, unmaps dynamic libraries and the testcase segfaults right after returning into userspace. I've also looked at the second instance of the unmapping loop in the do_brk(). The do_brk() is called from brk() syscall and from vm_brk(). The brk() syscall checks for overlapping mappings and bails out when there are any (so it can't be triggered from the brk syscall). The vm_brk() is called only from binmft handlers so it shouldn't be triggered unless binmft handler created overlapping mappings.

mm: per-thread vma caching This patch is a continuation of efforts trying to optimize find_vma(), avoiding potentially expensive rbtree walks to locate a vma upon faults. The original approach (https://lkml.org/lkml/2013/11/1/410), where the largest vma was also cached, ended up being too specific and random, thus further comparison with other approaches were needed. There are two things to consider when dealing with this, the cache hit rate and the latency of find_vma(). Improving the hit-rate does not necessarily translate in finding the vma any faster, as the overhead of any fancy caching schemes can be too high to consider. We currently cache the last used vma for the whole address space, which provides a nice optimization, reducing the total cycles in find_vma() by up to 250%, for workloads with good locality. On the other hand, this simple scheme is pretty much useless for workloads with poor locality. Analyzing ebizzy runs shows that, no matter how many threads are running, the mmap_cache hit rate is less than 2%, and in many situations below 1%. The proposed approach is to replace this scheme with a small per-thread cache, maximizing hit rates at a very low maintenance cost. Invalidations are performed by simply bumping up a 32-bit sequence number. The only expensive operation is in the rare case of a seq number overflow, where all caches that share the same address space are flushed. Upon a miss, the proposed replacement policy is based on the page number that contains the virtual address in question. Concretely, the following results are seen on an 80 core, 8 socket x86-64 box: 1) System bootup: Most programs are single threaded, so the per-thread scheme does improve ~50% hit rate by just adding a few more slots to the cache. +----------------+----------+------------------+ | caching scheme | hit-rate | cycles (billion) | +----------------+----------+------------------+ | baseline | 50.61% | 19.90 | | patched | 73.45% | 13.58 | +----------------+----------+------------------+ 2) Kernel build: This one is already pretty good with the current approach as we're dealing with good locality. +----------------+----------+------------------+ | caching scheme | hit-rate | cycles (billion) | +----------------+----------+------------------+ | baseline | 75.28% | 11.03 | | patched | 88.09% | 9.31 | +----------------+----------+------------------+ 3) Oracle 11g Data Mining (4k pages): Similar to the kernel build workload. +----------------+----------+------------------+ | caching scheme | hit-rate | cycles (billion) | +----------------+----------+------------------+ | baseline | 70.66% | 17.14 | | patched | 91.15% | 12.57 | +----------------+----------+------------------+ 4) Ebizzy: There's a fair amount of variation from run to run, but this approach always shows nearly perfect hit rates, while baseline is just about non-existent. The amounts of cycles can fluctuate between anywhere from ~60 to ~116 for the baseline scheme, but this approach reduces it considerably. For instance, with 80 threads: +----------------+----------+------------------+ | caching scheme | hit-rate | cycles (billion) | +----------------+----------+------------------+ | baseline | 1.06% | 91.54 | | patched | 99.97% | 14.18 | +----------------+----------+------------------+ [akpm@linux-foundation.org: fix nommu build, per Davidlohr] [akpm@linux-foundation.org: document vmacache_valid() logic] [akpm@linux-foundation.org: attempt to untangle header files] [akpm@linux-foundation.org: add vmacache_find() BUG_ON] [hughd@google.com: add vmacache_valid_mm() (from Oleg)] [akpm@linux-foundation.org: coding-style fixes] [akpm@linux-foundation.org: adjust and enhance comments] Signed-off-by: Davidlohr Bueso <davidlohr@hp.com> Reviewed-by: Rik van Riel <riel@redhat.com> Acked-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org> Reviewed-by: Michel Lespinasse <walken@google.com> Cc: Oleg Nesterov <oleg@redhat.com> Tested-by: Hugh Dickins <hughd@google.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

mm: change anon_vma linking to fix multi-process server scalability issue The old anon_vma code can lead to scalability issues with heavily forking workloads. Specifically, each anon_vma will be shared between the parent process and all its child processes. In a workload with 1000 child processes and a VMA with 1000 anonymous pages per process that get COWed, this leads to a system with a million anonymous pages in the same anon_vma, each of which is mapped in just one of the 1000 processes. However, the current rmap code needs to walk them all, leading to O(N) scanning complexity for each page. This can result in systems where one CPU is walking the page tables of 1000 processes in page_referenced_one, while all other CPUs are stuck on the anon_vma lock. This leads to catastrophic failure for a benchmark like AIM7, where the total number of processes can reach in the tens of thousands. Real workloads are still a factor 10 less process intensive than AIM7, but they are catching up. This patch changes the way anon_vmas and VMAs are linked, which allows us to associate multiple anon_vmas with a VMA. At fork time, each child process gets its own anon_vmas, in which its COWed pages will be instantiated. The parents' anon_vma is also linked to the VMA, because non-COWed pages could be present in any of the children. This reduces rmap scanning complexity to O(1) for the pages of the 1000 child processes, with O(N) complexity for at most 1/N pages in the system. This reduces the average scanning cost in heavily forking workloads from O(N) to 2. The only real complexity in this patch stems from the fact that linking a VMA to anon_vmas now involves memory allocations. This means vma_adjust can fail, if it needs to attach a VMA to anon_vma structures. This in turn means error handling needs to be added to the calling functions. A second source of complexity is that, because there can be multiple anon_vmas, the anon_vma linking in vma_adjust can no longer be done under "the" anon_vma lock. To prevent the rmap code from walking up an incomplete VMA, this patch introduces the VM_LOCK_RMAP VMA flag. This bit flag uses the same slot as the NOMMU VM_MAPPED_COPY, with an ifdef in mm.h to make sure it is impossible to compile a kernel that needs both symbolic values for the same bitflag. Some test results: Without the anon_vma changes, when AIM7 hits around 9.7k users (on a test box with 16GB RAM and not quite enough IO), the system ends up running >99% in system time, with every CPU on the same anon_vma lock in the pageout code. With these changes, AIM7 hits the cross-over point around 29.7k users. This happens with ~99% IO wait time, there never seems to be any spike in system time. The anon_vma lock contention appears to be resolved.

The anon_vma lock contention appears to be resolved.

Additionally, uprobe_mmap hook now also gets called: a. on every executable vma that is COWed at fork. b. a vma of interest is newly mapped; breakpoint insertion also happens at the required address.

uprobes/core: Decrement uprobe count before the pages are unmapped Uprobes has a callback (uprobe_munmap()) in the unmap path to maintain the uprobes count. In the exit path this callback gets called in unlink_file_vma(). However by the time unlink_file_vma() is called, the pages would have been unmapped (in unmap_vmas()) and the task->rss_stat counts accounted (in zap_pte_range()). If the exiting process has probepoints, uprobe_munmap() checks if the breakpoint instruction was around before decrementing the probe count. This results in a file backed page being reread by uprobe_munmap() and hence it does not find the breakpoint. This patch fixes this problem by moving the callback to unmap_single_vma(). Since unmap_single_vma() may not unmap the complete vma, add start and end parameters to uprobe_munmap().

uprobes, mm, x86: Add the ability to install and remove uprobes breakpoints Add uprobes support to the core kernel, with x86 support. This commit adds the kernel facilities, the actual uprobes user-space ABI and perf probe support comes in later commits. General design: Uprobes are maintained in an rb-tree indexed by inode and offset (the offset here is from the start of the mapping). For a unique (inode, offset) tuple, there can be at most one uprobe in the rb-tree. Since the (inode, offset) tuple identifies a unique uprobe, more than one user may be interested in the same uprobe. This provides the ability to connect multiple 'consumers' to the same uprobe. Each consumer defines a handler and a filter (optional). The 'handler' is run every time the uprobe is hit, if it matches the 'filter' criteria. The first consumer of a uprobe causes the breakpoint to be inserted at the specified address and subsequent consumers are appended to this list. On subsequent probes, the consumer gets appended to the existing list of consumers. The breakpoint is removed when the last consumer unregisters. For all other unregisterations, the consumer is removed from the list of consumers. Given a inode, we get a list of the mms that have mapped the inode. Do the actual registration if mm maps the page where a probe needs to be inserted/removed. We use a temporary list to walk through the vmas that map the inode. - The number of maps that map the inode, is not known before we walk the rmap and keeps changing. - extending vm_area_struct wasn't recommended, it's a size-critical data structure. - There can be more than one maps of the inode in the same mm. We add callbacks to the mmap methods to keep an eye on text vmas that are of interest to uprobes. When a vma of interest is mapped, we insert the breakpoint at the right address. Uprobe works by replacing the instruction at the address defined by (inode, offset) with the arch specific breakpoint instruction. We save a copy of the original instruction at the uprobed address. This is needed for: a. executing the instruction out-of-line (xol). b. instruction analysis for any subsequent fixups. c. restoring the instruction back when the uprobe is unregistered. We insert or delete a breakpoint instruction, and this breakpoint instruction is assumed to be the smallest instruction available on the platform. For fixed size instruction platforms this is trivially true, for variable size instruction platforms the breakpoint instruction is typically the smallest (often a single byte). Writing the instruction is done by COWing the page and changing the instruction during the copy, this even though most platforms allow atomic writes of the breakpoint instruction. This also mirrors the behaviour of a ptrace() memory write to a PRIVATE file map. The core worker is derived from KSM's replace_page() logic. In essence, similar to KSM: a. allocate a new page and copy over contents of the page that has the uprobed vaddr b. modify the copy and insert the breakpoint at the required address c. switch the original page with the copy containing the breakpoint d. flush page tables. replace_page() is being replicated here because of some minor changes in the type of pages and also because Hugh Dickins had plans to improve replace_page() for KSM specific work. Instruction analysis on x86 is based on instruction decoder and determines if an instruction can be probed and determines the necessary fixups after singlestep. Instruction analysis is done at probe insertion time so that we avoid having to repeat the same analysis every time a probe is hit. A lot of code here is due to the improvement/suggestions/inputs from Peter Zijlstra. Changelog: (v10): - Add code to clear REX.B prefix as suggested by Denys Vlasenko and Masami Hiramatsu.

uprobes, mm, x86: Add the ability to install and remove uprobes breakpoints Add uprobes support to the core kernel, with x86 support. This commit adds the kernel facilities, the actual uprobes user-space ABI and perf probe support comes in later commits. General design: Uprobes are maintained in an rb-tree indexed by inode and offset (the offset here is from the start of the mapping). For a unique (inode, offset) tuple, there can be at most one uprobe in the rb-tree. Since the (inode, offset) tuple identifies a unique uprobe, more than one user may be interested in the same uprobe. This provides the ability to connect multiple 'consumers' to the same uprobe. Each consumer defines a handler and a filter (optional). The 'handler' is run every time the uprobe is hit, if it matches the 'filter' criteria. The first consumer of a uprobe causes the breakpoint to be inserted at the specified address and subsequent consumers are appended to this list. On subsequent probes, the consumer gets appended to the existing list of consumers. The breakpoint is removed when the last consumer unregisters. For all other unregisterations, the consumer is removed from the list of consumers. Given a inode, we get a list of the mms that have mapped the inode. Do the actual registration if mm maps the page where a probe needs to be inserted/removed. We use a temporary list to walk through the vmas that map the inode. - The number of maps that map the inode, is not known before we walk the rmap and keeps changing. - extending vm_area_struct wasn't recommended, it's a size-critical data structure. - There can be more than one maps of the inode in the same mm. We add callbacks to the mmap methods to keep an eye on text vmas that are of interest to uprobes. When a vma of interest is mapped, we insert the breakpoint at the right address. Uprobe works by replacing the instruction at the address defined by (inode, offset) with the arch specific breakpoint instruction. We save a copy of the original instruction at the uprobed address. This is needed for: a. executing the instruction out-of-line (xol). b. instruction analysis for any subsequent fixups. c. restoring the instruction back when the uprobe is unregistered. We insert or delete a breakpoint instruction, and this breakpoint instruction is assumed to be the smallest instruction available on the platform. For fixed size instruction platforms this is trivially true, for variable size instruction platforms the breakpoint instruction is typically the smallest (often a single byte). Writing the instruction is done by COWing the page and changing the instruction during the copy, this even though most platforms allow atomic writes of the breakpoint instruction. This also mirrors the behaviour of a ptrace() memory write to a PRIVATE file map. The core worker is derived from KSM's replace_page() logic. In essence, similar to KSM: a. allocate a new page and copy over contents of the page that has the uprobed vaddr b. modify the copy and insert the breakpoint at the required address c. switch the original page with the copy containing the breakpoint d. flush page tables. replace_page() is being replicated here because of some minor changes in the type of pages and also because Hugh Dickins had plans to improve replace_page() for KSM specific work. Instruction analysis on x86 is based on instruction decoder and determines if an instruction can be probed and determines the necessary fixups after singlestep. Instruction analysis is done at probe insertion time so that we avoid having to repeat the same analysis every time a probe is hit. A lot of code here is due to the improvement/suggestions/inputs from Peter Zijlstra. Changelog: (v10): - Add code to clear REX.B prefix as suggested by Denys Vlasenko and Masami Hiramatsu. (v9): - Use insn_offset_modrm as suggested by Masami Hiramatsu. (v7): Handle comments from Peter Zijlstra: - Dont take reference to inode.

uprobes/core: Decrement uprobe count before the pages are unmapped Uprobes has a callback (uprobe_munmap()) in the unmap path to maintain the uprobes count. In the exit path this callback gets called in unlink_file_vma(). However by the time unlink_file_vma() is called, the pages would have been unmapped (in unmap_vmas()) and the task->rss_stat counts accounted (in zap_pte_range()). If the exiting process has probepoints, uprobe_munmap() checks if the breakpoint instruction was around before decrementing the probe count. This results in a file backed page being reread by uprobe_munmap() and hence it does not find the breakpoint. This patch fixes this problem by moving the callback to unmap_single_vma(). Since unmap_single_vma() may not unmap the complete vma, add start and end parameters to uprobe_munmap(). This bug became apparent courtesy of commit c3f0327f8e9d ("mm: add rss counters consistency check").

mm: change anon_vma linking to fix multi-process server scalability issue The old anon_vma code can lead to scalability issues with heavily forking workloads. Specifically, each anon_vma will be shared between the parent process and all its child processes. In a workload with 1000 child processes and a VMA with 1000 anonymous pages per process that get COWed, this leads to a system with a million anonymous pages in the same anon_vma, each of which is mapped in just one of the 1000 processes. However, the current rmap code needs to walk them all, leading to O(N) scanning complexity for each page. This can result in systems where one CPU is walking the page tables of 1000 processes in page_referenced_one, while all other CPUs are stuck on the anon_vma lock. This leads to catastrophic failure for a benchmark like AIM7, where the total number of processes can reach in the tens of thousands. Real workloads are still a factor 10 less process intensive than AIM7, but they are catching up. This patch changes the way anon_vmas and VMAs are linked, which allows us to associate multiple anon_vmas with a VMA. At fork time, each child process gets its own anon_vmas, in which its COWed pages will be instantiated. The parents' anon_vma is also linked to the VMA, because non-COWed pages could be present in any of the children. This reduces rmap scanning complexity to O(1) for the pages of the 1000 child processes, with O(N) complexity for at most 1/N pages in the system. This reduces the average scanning cost in heavily forking workloads from O(N) to 2. The only real complexity in this patch stems from the fact that linking a VMA to anon_vmas now involves memory allocations. This means vma_adjust can fail, if it needs to attach a VMA to anon_vma structures. This in turn means error handling needs to be added to the calling functions. A second source of complexity is that, because there can be multiple anon_vmas, the anon_vma linking in vma_adjust can no longer be done under "the" anon_vma lock. To prevent the rmap code from walking up an incomplete VMA, this patch introduces the VM_LOCK_RMAP VMA flag. This bit flag uses the same slot as the NOMMU VM_MAPPED_COPY, with an ifdef in mm.h to make sure it is impossible to compile a kernel that needs both symbolic values for the same bitflag. Some test results: Without the anon_vma changes, when AIM7 hits around 9.7k users (on a test box with 16GB RAM and not quite enough IO), the system ends up running >99% in system time, with every CPU on the same anon_vma lock in the pageout code. With these changes, AIM7 hits the cross-over point around 29.7k users. This happens with ~99% IO wait time, there never seems to be any spike in system time. The anon_vma lock contention appears to be resolved.

Some test results: Without the anon_vma changes, when AIM7 hits around 9.7k users (on a test box with 16GB RAM and not quite enough IO), the system ends up running >99% in system time, with every CPU on the same anon_vma lock in the pageout code. With these changes, AIM7 hits the cross-over point around 29.7k users. This happens with ~99% IO wait time, there never seems to be any spike in system time. The anon_vma lock contention appears to be resolved.

mm: ignore VM_SOFTDIRTY on VMA merging The VM_SOFTDIRTY bit affects vma merge routine: if two VMAs has all bits in vm_flags matched except dirty bit the kernel can't longer merge them and this forces the kernel to generate new VMAs instead.

As discussed with Pavel, the right approach should be to ignore VM_SOFTDIRTY bit when we're trying to merge VMAs and if merge successed we mark extended VMA with dirty bit where needed.

mm: change anon_vma linking to fix multi-process server scalability issue The old anon_vma code can lead to scalability issues with heavily forking workloads. Specifically, each anon_vma will be shared between the parent process and all its child processes. In a workload with 1000 child processes and a VMA with 1000 anonymous pages per process that get COWed, this leads to a system with a million anonymous pages in the same anon_vma, each of which is mapped in just one of the 1000 processes. However, the current rmap code needs to walk them all, leading to O(N) scanning complexity for each page. This can result in systems where one CPU is walking the page tables of 1000 processes in page_referenced_one, while all other CPUs are stuck on the anon_vma lock. This leads to catastrophic failure for a benchmark like AIM7, where the total number of processes can reach in the tens of thousands. Real workloads are still a factor 10 less process intensive than AIM7, but they are catching up. This patch changes the way anon_vmas and VMAs are linked, which allows us to associate multiple anon_vmas with a VMA. At fork time, each child process gets its own anon_vmas, in which its COWed pages will be instantiated. The parents' anon_vma is also linked to the VMA, because non-COWed pages could be present in any of the children. This reduces rmap scanning complexity to O(1) for the pages of the 1000 child processes, with O(N) complexity for at most 1/N pages in the system. This reduces the average scanning cost in heavily forking workloads from O(N) to 2. The only real complexity in this patch stems from the fact that linking a VMA to anon_vmas now involves memory allocations. This means vma_adjust can fail, if it needs to attach a VMA to anon_vma structures. This in turn means error handling needs to be added to the calling functions. A second source of complexity is that, because there can be multiple anon_vmas, the anon_vma linking in vma_adjust can no longer be done under "the" anon_vma lock. To prevent the rmap code from walking up an incomplete VMA, this patch introduces the VM_LOCK_RMAP VMA flag. This bit flag uses the same slot as the NOMMU VM_MAPPED_COPY, with an ifdef in mm.h to make sure it is impossible to compile a kernel that needs both symbolic values for the same bitflag. Some test results: Without the anon_vma changes, when AIM7 hits around 9.7k users (on a test box with 16GB RAM and not quite enough IO), the system ends up running >99% in system time, with every CPU on the same anon_vma lock in the pageout code. With these changes, AIM7 hits the cross-over point around 29.7k users. This happens with ~99% IO wait time, there never seems to be any spike in system time.

This reduces the average scanning cost in heavily forking workloads from O(N) to 2. The only real complexity in this patch stems from the fact that linking a VMA to anon_vmas now involves memory allocations. This means vma_adjust can fail, if it needs to attach a VMA to anon_vma structures. This in turn means error handling needs to be added to the calling functions. A second source of complexity is that, because there can be multiple anon_vmas, the anon_vma linking in vma_adjust can no longer be done under "the" anon_vma lock. To prevent the rmap code from walking up an incomplete VMA, this patch introduces the VM_LOCK_RMAP VMA flag. This bit flag uses the same slot as the NOMMU VM_MAPPED_COPY, with an ifdef in mm.h to make sure it is impossible to compile a kernel that needs both symbolic values for the same bitflag. Some test results: Without the anon_vma changes, when AIM7 hits around 9.7k users (on a test box with 16GB RAM and not quite enough IO), the system ends up running >99% in system time, with every CPU on the same anon_vma lock in the pageout code. With these changes, AIM7 hits the cross-over point around 29.7k users. This happens with ~99% IO wait time, there never seems to be any spike in system time. The anon_vma lock contention appears to be resolved.

mm: change anon_vma linking to fix multi-process server scalability issue The old anon_vma code can lead to scalability issues with heavily forking workloads. Specifically, each anon_vma will be shared between the parent process and all its child processes. In a workload with 1000 child processes and a VMA with 1000 anonymous pages per process that get COWed, this leads to a system with a million anonymous pages in the same anon_vma, each of which is mapped in just one of the 1000 processes. However, the current rmap code needs to walk them all, leading to O(N) scanning complexity for each page. This can result in systems where one CPU is walking the page tables of 1000 processes in page_referenced_one, while all other CPUs are stuck on the anon_vma lock. This leads to catastrophic failure for a benchmark like AIM7, where the total number of processes can reach in the tens of thousands. Real workloads are still a factor 10 less process intensive than AIM7, but they are catching up. This patch changes the way anon_vmas and VMAs are linked, which allows us to associate multiple anon_vmas with a VMA. At fork time, each child process gets its own anon_vmas, in which its COWed pages will be instantiated. The parents' anon_vma is also linked to the VMA, because non-COWed pages could be present in any of the children. This reduces rmap scanning complexity to O(1) for the pages of the 1000 child processes, with O(N) complexity for at most 1/N pages in the system. This reduces the average scanning cost in heavily forking workloads from O(N) to 2.

mm: support more pagesizes for MAP_HUGETLB/SHM_HUGETLB There was some desire in large applications using MAP_HUGETLB or SHM_HUGETLB to use 1GB huge pages on some mappings, and stay with 2MB on others. This is useful together with NUMA policy: use 2MB interleaving on some mappings, but 1GB on local mappings. This patch extends the IPC/SHM syscall interfaces slightly to allow specifying the page size. It borrows some upper bits in the existing flag arguments and allows encoding the log of the desired page size in addition to the *_HUGETLB flag. When 0 is specified the default size is used, this makes the change fully compatible. Extending the internal hugetlb code to handle this is straight forward. Instead of a single mount it just keeps an array of them and selects the right mount based on the specified page size. When no page size is specified it uses the mount of the default page size. The change is not visible in /proc/mounts because internal mounts don't appear there. It also has very little overhead: the additional mounts just consume a super block, but not more memory when not used. I also exported the new flags to the user headers (they were previously under __KERNEL__). Right now only symbols for x86 and some other architecture for 1GB and 2MB are defined. The interface should already work for all other architectures though. Only architectures that define multiple hugetlb sizes actually need it (that is currently x86, tile, powerpc). However tile and powerpc have user configurable hugetlb sizes, so it's not easy to add defines. A program on those architectures would need to query sysfs and use the appropiate log2.

mm: kill vma flag VM_INSERTPAGE Merge VM_INSERTPAGE into VM_MIXEDMAP. VM_MIXEDMAP VMA can mix pure-pfn ptes, special ptes and normal ptes. Now copy_page_range() always copies VM_MIXEDMAP VMA on fork like VM_PFNMAP. If driver populates whole VMA at mmap() it probably not expects page-faults. This patch removes special check from vma_wants_writenotify() which disables pages write tracking for VMA populated via vm_instert_page(). BDI below mapped file should not use dirty-accounting, moreover do_wp_page() can handle this. vm_insert_page() still marks vma after first usage. Usually it is called from f_op->mmap() handler under mm->mmap_sem write-lock, so it able to change vma->vm_flags. Caller must set VM_MIXEDMAP at mmap time if it wants to call this function from other places, for example from page-fault handler.

mm/mmap: check for RLIMIT_AS before unmapping Fix a corner case for MAP_FIXED when requested mapping length is larger than rlimit for virtual memory. In such case any overlapping mappings are unmapped before we check for the limit and return ENOMEM. The check is moved before the loop that unmaps overlapping parts of existing mappings. When we are about to hit the limit (currently mapped pages + len > limit) we scan for overlapping pages and check again accounting for them. This fixes situation when userspace program expects that the previous mappings are preserved after the mmap() syscall has returned with error. (POSIX clearly states that successfull mapping shall replace any previous mappings.) This corner case was found and can be tested with LTP testcase: testcases/open_posix_testsuite/conformance/interfaces/mmap/24-2.c In this case the mmap, which is clearly over current limit, unmaps dynamic libraries and the testcase segfaults right after returning into userspace. I've also looked at the second instance of the unmapping loop in the do_brk(). The do_brk() is called from brk() syscall and from vm_brk(). The brk() syscall checks for overlapping mappings and bails out when there are any (so it can't be triggered from the brk syscall). The vm_brk() is called only from binmft handlers so it shouldn't be triggered unless binmft handler created overlapping mappings.

mm: change anon_vma linking to fix multi-process server scalability issue The old anon_vma code can lead to scalability issues with heavily forking workloads. Specifically, each anon_vma will be shared between the parent process and all its child processes. In a workload with 1000 child processes and a VMA with 1000 anonymous pages per process that get COWed, this leads to a system with a million anonymous pages in the same anon_vma, each of which is mapped in just one of the 1000 processes. However, the current rmap code needs to walk them all, leading to O(N) scanning complexity for each page. This can result in systems where one CPU is walking the page tables of 1000 processes in page_referenced_one, while all other CPUs are stuck on the anon_vma lock. This leads to catastrophic failure for a benchmark like AIM7, where the total number of processes can reach in the tens of thousands. Real workloads are still a factor 10 less process intensive than AIM7, but they are catching up. This patch changes the way anon_vmas and VMAs are linked, which allows us to associate multiple anon_vmas with a VMA. At fork time, each child process gets its own anon_vmas, in which its COWed pages will be instantiated. The parents' anon_vma is also linked to the VMA, because non-COWed pages could be present in any of the children. This reduces rmap scanning complexity to O(1) for the pages of the 1000 child processes, with O(N) complexity for at most 1/N pages in the system. This reduces the average scanning cost in heavily forking workloads from O(N) to 2. The only real complexity in this patch stems from the fact that linking a VMA to anon_vmas now involves memory allocations. This means vma_adjust can fail, if it needs to attach a VMA to anon_vma structures. This in turn means error handling needs to be added to the calling functions. A second source of complexity is that, because there can be multiple anon_vmas, the anon_vma linking in vma_adjust can no longer be done under "the" anon_vma lock. To prevent the rmap code from walking up an incomplete VMA, this patch introduces the VM_LOCK_RMAP VMA flag. This bit flag uses the same slot as the NOMMU VM_MAPPED_COPY, with an ifdef in mm.h to make sure it is impossible to compile a kernel that needs both symbolic values for the same bitflag. Some test results: Without the anon_vma changes, when AIM7 hits around 9.7k users (on a test box with 16GB RAM and not quite enough IO), the system ends up running >99% in system time, with every CPU on the same anon_vma lock in the pageout code. With these changes, AIM7 hits the cross-over point around 29.7k users. This happens with ~99% IO wait time, there never seems to be any spike in system time. The anon_vma lock contention appears to be resolved.

[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.

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.

uprobes, mm, x86: Add the ability to install and remove uprobes breakpoints Add uprobes support to the core kernel, with x86 support. This commit adds the kernel facilities, the actual uprobes user-space ABI and perf probe support comes in later commits. General design: Uprobes are maintained in an rb-tree indexed by inode and offset (the offset here is from the start of the mapping). For a unique (inode, offset) tuple, there can be at most one uprobe in the rb-tree. Since the (inode, offset) tuple identifies a unique uprobe, more than one user may be interested in the same uprobe. This provides the ability to connect multiple 'consumers' to the same uprobe. Each consumer defines a handler and a filter (optional). The 'handler' is run every time the uprobe is hit, if it matches the 'filter' criteria. The first consumer of a uprobe causes the breakpoint to be inserted at the specified address and subsequent consumers are appended to this list. On subsequent probes, the consumer gets appended to the existing list of consumers. The breakpoint is removed when the last consumer unregisters. For all other unregisterations, the consumer is removed from the list of consumers. Given a inode, we get a list of the mms that have mapped the inode. Do the actual registration if mm maps the page where a probe needs to be inserted/removed. We use a temporary list to walk through the vmas that map the inode. - The number of maps that map the inode, is not known before we walk the rmap and keeps changing. - extending vm_area_struct wasn't recommended, it's a size-critical data structure. - There can be more than one maps of the inode in the same mm. We add callbacks to the mmap methods to keep an eye on text vmas that are of interest to uprobes. When a vma of interest is mapped, we insert the breakpoint at the right address. Uprobe works by replacing the instruction at the address defined by (inode, offset) with the arch specific breakpoint instruction. We save a copy of the original instruction at the uprobed address. This is needed for: a. executing the instruction out-of-line (xol). b. instruction analysis for any subsequent fixups. c. restoring the instruction back when the uprobe is unregistered. We insert or delete a breakpoint instruction, and this breakpoint instruction is assumed to be the smallest instruction available on the platform. For fixed size instruction platforms this is trivially true, for variable size instruction platforms the breakpoint instruction is typically the smallest (often a single byte). Writing the instruction is done by COWing the page and changing the instruction during the copy, this even though most platforms allow atomic writes of the breakpoint instruction. This also mirrors the behaviour of a ptrace() memory write to a PRIVATE file map. The core worker is derived from KSM's replace_page() logic. In essence, similar to KSM: a. allocate a new page and copy over contents of the page that has the uprobed vaddr b. modify the copy and insert the breakpoint at the required address c. switch the original page with the copy containing the breakpoint d. flush page tables. replace_page() is being replicated here because of some minor changes in the type of pages and also because Hugh Dickins had plans to improve replace_page() for KSM specific work. Instruction analysis on x86 is based on instruction decoder and determines if an instruction can be probed and determines the necessary fixups after singlestep. Instruction analysis is done at probe insertion time so that we avoid having to repeat the same analysis every time a probe is hit. A lot of code here is due to the improvement/suggestions/inputs from Peter Zijlstra. Changelog: (v10): - Add code to clear REX.B prefix as suggested by Denys Vlasenko and Masami Hiramatsu. (v9): - Use insn_offset_modrm as suggested by Masami Hiramatsu. (v7): Handle comments from Peter Zijlstra: - Dont take reference to inode. (expect inode to uprobe_register to be sane). - Use PTR_ERR to set the return value. - No need to take reference to inode. - use PTR_ERR to return error value. - register and uprobe_unregister share code.

uprobes: Fix mmap_region()'s mm->mm_rb corruption if uprobe_mmap() fails This patch fixes: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=843640 If mmap_region()->uprobe_mmap() fails, unmap_and_free_vma path does unmap_region() but does not remove the soon-to-be-freed vma from rb tree. Actually there are more problems but this is how William noticed this bug. Perhaps we could do do_munmap() + return in this case, but in fact it is simply wrong to abort if uprobe_mmap() fails. Until at least we move the !UPROBE_COPY_INSN code from install_breakpoint() to uprobe_register(). For example, uprobe_mmap()->install_breakpoint() can fail if the probed insn is not supported (remember, uprobe_register() succeeds if nobody mmaps inode/offset), mmap() should not fail in this case. dup_mmap()->uprobe_mmap() is wrong too by the same reason, fork() can race with uprobe_register() and fail for no reason if it wins the race and does install_breakpoint() first. And, if nothing else, both mmap_region() and dup_mmap() return success if uprobe_mmap() fails. Change them to ignore the error code from uprobe_mmap().

[PATCH] freepgt: free_pgtables use vma list Recent woes with some arches needing their own pgd_addr_end macro; and 4-level clear_page_range regression since 2.6.10's clear_page_tables; and its long-standing well-known inefficiency in searching throughout the higher-level page tables for those few entries to clear and free: all can be blamed on ignoring the list of vmas when we free page tables. Replace exit_mmap's clear_page_range of the total user address space by free_pgtables operating on the mm's vma list; unmap_region use it in the same way, giving floor and ceiling beyond which it may not free tables. This brings lmbench fork/exec/sh numbers back to 2.6.10 (unless preempt is enabled, in which case latency fixes spoil unmap_vmas throughput). Beware: the do_mmap_pgoff driver failure case must now use unmap_region instead of zap_page_range, since a page table might have been allocated, and can only be freed while it is touched by some vma. Move free_pgtables from mmap.c to memory.c, where its lower levels are adapted from the clear_page_range levels. (Most of free_pgtables' old code was actually for a non-existent case, prev not properly set up, dating from before hch gave us split_vma.) Pass mmu_gather** in the public interfaces, since we might want to add latency lockdrops later; but no attempt to do so yet, going by vma should itself reduce latency. But what if is_hugepage_only_range? Those ia64 and ppc64 cases need careful examination: put that off until a later patch of the series. What of x86_64's 32bit vdso page __map_syscall32 maps outside any vma? And the range to sparc64's flush_tlb_pgtables? It's less clear to me now that we need to do more than is done here - every PMD_SIZE ever occupied will be flushed, do we really have to flush every PGDIR_SIZE ever partially occupied? A shame to complicate it unnecessarily. Special thanks to David Miller for time spent repairing my ceilings.

mm: ensure get_unmapped_area() returns higher address than mmap_min_addr This patch fixes the problem that get_unmapped_area() can return illegal address and result in failing mmap(2) etc. In case that the address higher than PAGE_SIZE is set to /proc/sys/vm/mmap_min_addr, the address lower than mmap_min_addr can be returned by get_unmapped_area(), even if you do not pass any virtual address hint (i.e. the second argument). This is because the current get_unmapped_area() code does not take into account mmap_min_addr. This leads to two actual problems as follows: 1. mmap(2) can fail with EPERM on the process without CAP_SYS_RAWIO, although any illegal parameter is not passed. 2. The bottom-up search path after the top-down search might not work in arch_get_unmapped_area_topdown(). Note: The first and third chunk of my patch, which changes "len" check, are for more precise check using mmap_min_addr, and not for solving the above problem.

mm: per-thread vma caching This patch is a continuation of efforts trying to optimize find_vma(), avoiding potentially expensive rbtree walks to locate a vma upon faults. The original approach (https://lkml.org/lkml/2013/11/1/410), where the largest vma was also cached, ended up being too specific and random, thus further comparison with other approaches were needed. There are two things to consider when dealing with this, the cache hit rate and the latency of find_vma(). Improving the hit-rate does not necessarily translate in finding the vma any faster, as the overhead of any fancy caching schemes can be too high to consider. We currently cache the last used vma for the whole address space, which provides a nice optimization, reducing the total cycles in find_vma() by up to 250%, for workloads with good locality. On the other hand, this simple scheme is pretty much useless for workloads with poor locality. Analyzing ebizzy runs shows that, no matter how many threads are running, the mmap_cache hit rate is less than 2%, and in many situations below 1%. The proposed approach is to replace this scheme with a small per-thread cache, maximizing hit rates at a very low maintenance cost. Invalidations are performed by simply bumping up a 32-bit sequence number. The only expensive operation is in the rare case of a seq number overflow, where all caches that share the same address space are flushed. Upon a miss, the proposed replacement policy is based on the page number that contains the virtual address in question. Concretely, the following results are seen on an 80 core, 8 socket x86-64 box: 1) System bootup: Most programs are single threaded, so the per-thread scheme does improve ~50% hit rate by just adding a few more slots to the cache. +----------------+----------+------------------+ | caching scheme | hit-rate | cycles (billion) | +----------------+----------+------------------+ | baseline | 50.61% | 19.90 | | patched | 73.45% | 13.58 | +----------------+----------+------------------+ 2) Kernel build: This one is already pretty good with the current approach as we're dealing with good locality. +----------------+----------+------------------+ | caching scheme | hit-rate | cycles (billion) | +----------------+----------+------------------+ | baseline | 75.28% | 11.03 | | patched | 88.09% | 9.31 | +----------------+----------+------------------+ 3) Oracle 11g Data Mining (4k pages): Similar to the kernel build workload. +----------------+----------+------------------+ | caching scheme | hit-rate | cycles (billion) | +----------------+----------+------------------+ | baseline | 70.66% | 17.14 | | patched | 91.15% | 12.57 | +----------------+----------+------------------+ 4) Ebizzy: There's a fair amount of variation from run to run, but this approach always shows nearly perfect hit rates, while baseline is just about non-existent.

mm: per-thread vma caching This patch is a continuation of efforts trying to optimize find_vma(), avoiding potentially expensive rbtree walks to locate a vma upon faults. The original approach (https://lkml.org/lkml/2013/11/1/410), where the largest vma was also cached, ended up being too specific and random, thus further comparison with other approaches were needed. There are two things to consider when dealing with this, the cache hit rate and the latency of find_vma(). Improving the hit-rate does not necessarily translate in finding the vma any faster, as the overhead of any fancy caching schemes can be too high to consider. We currently cache the last used vma for the whole address space, which provides a nice optimization, reducing the total cycles in find_vma() by up to 250%, for workloads with good locality. On the other hand, this simple scheme is pretty much useless for workloads with poor locality. Analyzing ebizzy runs shows that, no matter how many threads are running, the mmap_cache hit rate is less than 2%, and in many situations below 1%. The proposed approach is to replace this scheme with a small per-thread cache, maximizing hit rates at a very low maintenance cost. Invalidations are performed by simply bumping up a 32-bit sequence number. The only expensive operation is in the rare case of a seq number overflow, where all caches that share the same address space are flushed. Upon a miss, the proposed replacement policy is based on the page number that contains the virtual address in question.

mm anon rmap: replace same_anon_vma linked list with an interval tree. When a large VMA (anon or private file mapping) is first touched, which will populate its anon_vma field, and then split into many regions through the use of mprotect(), the original anon_vma ends up linking all of the vmas on a linked list. This can cause rmap to become inefficient, as we have to walk potentially thousands of irrelevent vmas before finding the one a given anon page might fall into. By replacing the same_anon_vma linked list with an interval tree (where each avc's interval is determined by its vma's start and last pgoffs), we can make rmap efficient for this use case again. While the change is large, all of its pieces are fairly simple. Most places that were walking the same_anon_vma list were looking for a known pgoff, so they can just use the anon_vma_interval_tree_foreach() interval tree iterator instead. The exception here is ksm, where the page's index is not known. It would probably be possible to rework ksm so that the index would be known, but for now I have decided to keep things simple and just walk the entirety of the interval tree there. When updating vma's that already have an anon_vma assigned, we must take care to re-index the corresponding avc's on their interval tree. This is done through the use of anon_vma_interval_tree_pre_update_vma() and anon_vma_interval_tree_post_update_vma(), which remove the avc's from their interval tree before the update and re-insert them after the update. The anon_vma stays locked during the update, so there is no chance that rmap would miss the vmas that are being updated.

mm anon rmap: replace same_anon_vma linked list with an interval tree. When a large VMA (anon or private file mapping) is first touched, which will populate its anon_vma field, and then split into many regions through the use of mprotect(), the original anon_vma ends up linking all of the vmas on a linked list. This can cause rmap to become inefficient, as we have to walk potentially thousands of irrelevent vmas before finding the one a given anon page might fall into. By replacing the same_anon_vma linked list with an interval tree (where each avc's interval is determined by its vma's start and last pgoffs), we can make rmap efficient for this use case again. While the change is large, all of its pieces are fairly simple. Most places that were walking the same_anon_vma list were looking for a known pgoff, so they can just use the anon_vma_interval_tree_foreach() interval tree iterator instead. The exception here is ksm, where the page's index is not known. It would probably be possible to rework ksm so that the index would be known, but for now I have decided to keep things simple and just walk the entirety of the interval tree there. When updating vma's that already have an anon_vma assigned, we must take care to re-index the corresponding avc's on their interval tree. This is done through the use of anon_vma_interval_tree_pre_update_vma() and anon_vma_interval_tree_post_update_vma(), which remove the avc's from their interval tree before the update and re-insert them after the update. The anon_vma stays locked during the update, so there is no chance that rmap would miss the vmas that are being updated.

[PATCH] mm: update_hiwaters just in time update_mem_hiwater has attracted various criticisms, in particular from those concerned with mm scalability. Originally it was called whenever rss or total_vm got raised. Then many of those callsites were replaced by a timer tick call from account_system_time. Now Frank van Maarseveen reports that to be found inadequate. How about this? Works for Frank. Replace update_mem_hiwater, a poor combination of two unrelated ops, by macros update_hiwater_rss and update_hiwater_vm. Don't attempt to keep mm->hiwater_rss up to date at timer tick, nor every time we raise rss (usually by 1): those are hot paths. Do the opposite, update only when about to lower rss (usually by many), or just before final accounting in do_exit. Handle mm->hiwater_vm in the same way, though it's much less of an issue. Demand that whoever collects these hiwater statistics do the work of taking the maximum with rss or total_vm. And there has been no collector of these hiwater statistics in the tree. The new convention needs an example, so match Frank's usage by adding a VmPeak line above VmSize to /proc/<pid>/status, and also a VmHWM line above VmRSS (High-Water-Mark or High-Water-Memory). There was a particular anomaly during mremap move, that hiwater_vm might be captured too high. A fleeting such anomaly remains, but it's quickly corrected now, whereas before it would stick. What locking? None: if the app is racy then these statistics will be racy, it's not worth any overhead to make them exact. But whenever it suits, hiwater_vm is updated under exclusive mmap_sem, and hiwater_rss under page_table_lock (for now) or with preemption disabled (later on): without going to any trouble, minimize the time between reading current values and updating, to minimize those occasions when a racing thread bumps a count up and back down in between.

Replace exit_mmap's clear_page_range of the total user address space by free_pgtables operating on the mm's vma list; unmap_region use it in the same way, giving floor and ceiling beyond which it may not free tables. This brings lmbench fork/exec/sh numbers back to 2.6.10 (unless preempt is enabled, in which case latency fixes spoil unmap_vmas throughput). Beware: the do_mmap_pgoff driver failure case must now use unmap_region instead of zap_page_range, since a page table might have been allocated, and can only be freed while it is touched by some vma. Move free_pgtables from mmap.c to memory.c, where its lower levels are adapted from the clear_page_range levels. (Most of free_pgtables' old code was actually for a non-existent case, prev not properly set up, dating from before hch gave us split_vma.) Pass mmu_gather** in the public interfaces, since we might want to add latency lockdrops later; but no attempt to do so yet, going by vma should itself reduce latency. But what if is_hugepage_only_range? Those ia64 and ppc64 cases need careful examination: put that off until a later patch of the series. What of x86_64's 32bit vdso page __map_syscall32 maps outside any vma? And the range to sparc64's flush_tlb_pgtables? It's less clear to me now that we need to do more than is done here - every PMD_SIZE ever occupied will be flushed, do we really have to flush every PGDIR_SIZE ever partially occupied?

Change this to try and allocate a page for batching and in case of failure, use a small on-stack array to make some progress. Preemptible mmu_gather is desired in general and usable once i_mmap_lock becomes a mutex. Doing it before the mutex conversion saves us from having to rework the code by moving the mmu_gather bits inside the pte_lock.

Fix TLB gather virtual address range invalidation corner cases Ben Tebulin reported: "Since v3.7.2 on two independent machines a very specific Git repository fails in 9/10 cases on git-fsck due to an SHA1/memory failures. This only occurs on a very specific repository and can be reproduced stably on two independent laptops. Git mailing list ran out of ideas and for me this looks like some very exotic kernel issue" and bisected the failure to the backport of commit 53a59fc67f97 ("mm: limit mmu_gather batching to fix soft lockups on !CONFIG_PREEMPT"). That commit itself is not actually buggy, but what it does is to make it much more likely to hit the partial TLB invalidation case, since it introduces a new case in tlb_next_batch() that previously only ever happened when running out of memory. The real bug is that the TLB gather virtual memory range setup is subtly buggered. It was introduced in commit 597e1c3580b7 ("mm/mmu_gather: enable tlb flush range in generic mmu_gather"), and the range handling was already fixed at least once in commit e6c495a96ce0 ("mm: fix the TLB range flushed when __tlb_remove_page() runs out of slots"), but that fix was not complete. The problem with the TLB gather virtual address range is that it isn't set up by the initial tlb_gather_mmu() initialization (which didn't get the TLB range information), but it is set up ad-hoc later by the functions that actually flush the TLB. And so any such case that forgot to update the TLB range entries would potentially miss TLB invalidates. Rather than try to figure out exactly which particular ad-hoc range setup was missing (I personally suspect it's the hugetlb case in zap_huge_pmd(), which didn't have the same logic as zap_pte_range() did), this patch just gets rid of the problem at the source: make the TLB range information available to tlb_gather_mmu(), and initialize it when initializing all the other tlb gather fields. This makes the patch larger, but conceptually much simpler. And the end result is much more understandable; even if you want to play games with partial ranges when invalidating the TLB contents in chunks, now the range information is always there, and anybody who doesn't want to bother with it won't introduce subtle bugs. Ben verified that this fixes his problem.

mm: per-thread vma caching This patch is a continuation of efforts trying to optimize find_vma(), avoiding potentially expensive rbtree walks to locate a vma upon faults. The original approach (https://lkml.org/lkml/2013/11/1/410), where the largest vma was also cached, ended up being too specific and random, thus further comparison with other approaches were needed. There are two things to consider when dealing with this, the cache hit rate and the latency of find_vma(). Improving the hit-rate does not necessarily translate in finding the vma any faster, as the overhead of any fancy caching schemes can be too high to consider. We currently cache the last used vma for the whole address space, which provides a nice optimization, reducing the total cycles in find_vma() by up to 250%, for workloads with good locality. On the other hand, this simple scheme is pretty much useless for workloads with poor locality. Analyzing ebizzy runs shows that, no matter how many threads are running, the mmap_cache hit rate is less than 2%, and in many situations below 1%. The proposed approach is to replace this scheme with a small per-thread cache, maximizing hit rates at a very low maintenance cost. Invalidations are performed by simply bumping up a 32-bit sequence number. The only expensive operation is in the rare case of a seq number overflow, where all caches that share the same address space are flushed. Upon a miss, the proposed replacement policy is based on the page number that contains the virtual address in question. Concretely, the following results are seen on an 80 core, 8 socket x86-64 box: 1) System bootup: Most programs are single threaded, so the per-thread scheme does improve ~50% hit rate by just adding a few more slots to the cache. +----------------+----------+------------------+ | caching scheme | hit-rate | cycles (billion) | +----------------+----------+------------------+ | baseline | 50.61% | 19.90 | | patched | 73.45% | 13.58 | +----------------+----------+------------------+ 2) Kernel build: This one is already pretty good with the current approach as we're dealing with good locality. +----------------+----------+------------------+ | caching scheme | hit-rate | cycles (billion) | +----------------+----------+------------------+ | baseline | 75.28% | 11.03 | | patched | 88.09% | 9.31 | +----------------+----------+------------------+ 3) Oracle 11g Data Mining (4k pages): Similar to the kernel build workload. +----------------+----------+------------------+ | caching scheme | hit-rate | cycles (billion) | +----------------+----------+------------------+ | baseline | 70.66% | 17.14 | | patched | 91.15% | 12.57 | +----------------+----------+------------------+ 4) Ebizzy: There's a fair amount of variation from run to run, but this approach always shows nearly perfect hit rates, while baseline is just about non-existent. The amounts of cycles can fluctuate between anywhere from ~60 to ~116 for the baseline scheme, but this approach reduces it considerably. For instance, with 80 threads: +----------------+----------+------------------+ | caching scheme | hit-rate | cycles (billion) | +----------------+----------+------------------+ | baseline | 1.06% | 91.54 | | patched | 99.97% | 14.18 | +----------------+----------+------------------+ [akpm@linux-foundation.org: fix nommu build, per Davidlohr] [akpm@linux-foundation.org: document vmacache_valid() logic] [akpm@linux-foundation.org: attempt to untangle header files] [akpm@linux-foundation.org: add vmacache_find() BUG_ON] [hughd@google.com: add vmacache_valid_mm() (from Oleg)] [akpm@linux-foundation.org: coding-style fixes] [akpm@linux-foundation.org: adjust and enhance comments] Signed-off-by: Davidlohr Bueso <davidlohr@hp.com> Reviewed-by: Rik van Riel <riel@redhat.com> Acked-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org> Reviewed-by: Michel Lespinasse <walken@google.com> Cc: Oleg Nesterov <oleg@redhat.com> Tested-by: Hugh Dickins <hughd@google.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

mm: change anon_vma linking to fix multi-process server scalability issue The old anon_vma code can lead to scalability issues with heavily forking workloads. Specifically, each anon_vma will be shared between the parent process and all its child processes. In a workload with 1000 child processes and a VMA with 1000 anonymous pages per process that get COWed, this leads to a system with a million anonymous pages in the same anon_vma, each of which is mapped in just one of the 1000 processes. However, the current rmap code needs to walk them all, leading to O(N) scanning complexity for each page. This can result in systems where one CPU is walking the page tables of 1000 processes in page_referenced_one, while all other CPUs are stuck on the anon_vma lock. This leads to catastrophic failure for a benchmark like AIM7, where the total number of processes can reach in the tens of thousands. Real workloads are still a factor 10 less process intensive than AIM7, but they are catching up. This patch changes the way anon_vmas and VMAs are linked, which allows us to associate multiple anon_vmas with a VMA. At fork time, each child process gets its own anon_vmas, in which its COWed pages will be instantiated. The parents' anon_vma is also linked to the VMA, because non-COWed pages could be present in any of the children. This reduces rmap scanning complexity to O(1) for the pages of the 1000 child processes, with O(N) complexity for at most 1/N pages in the system. This reduces the average scanning cost in heavily forking workloads from O(N) to 2. The only real complexity in this patch stems from the fact that linking a VMA to anon_vmas now involves memory allocations. This means vma_adjust can fail, if it needs to attach a VMA to anon_vma structures. This in turn means error handling needs to be added to the calling functions. A second source of complexity is that, because there can be multiple anon_vmas, the anon_vma linking in vma_adjust can no longer be done under "the" anon_vma lock. To prevent the rmap code from walking up an incomplete VMA, this patch introduces the VM_LOCK_RMAP VMA flag. This bit flag uses the same slot as the NOMMU VM_MAPPED_COPY, with an ifdef in mm.h to make sure it is impossible to compile a kernel that needs both symbolic values for the same bitflag. Some test results: Without the anon_vma changes, when AIM7 hits around 9.7k users (on a test box with 16GB RAM and not quite enough IO), the system ends up running >99% in system time, with every CPU on the same anon_vma lock in the pageout code. With these changes, AIM7 hits the cross-over point around 29.7k users. This happens with ~99% IO wait time, there never seems to be any spike in system time. The anon_vma lock contention appears to be resolved.

mm: kill vma flag VM_EXECUTABLE and mm->num_exe_file_vmas Currently the kernel sets mm->exe_file during sys_execve() and then tracks number of vmas with VM_EXECUTABLE flag in mm->num_exe_file_vmas, as soon as this counter drops to zero kernel resets mm->exe_file to NULL. Plus it resets mm->exe_file at last mmput() when mm->mm_users drops to zero. VMA with VM_EXECUTABLE flag appears after mapping file with flag MAP_EXECUTABLE, such vmas can appears only at sys_execve() or after vma splitting, because sys_mmap ignores this flag. Usually binfmt module sets mm->exe_file and mmaps executable vmas with this file, they hold mm->exe_file while task is running. comment from v2.6.25-6245-g925d1c4 ("procfs task exe symlink"), where all this stuff was introduced: > The kernel implements readlink of /proc/pid/exe by getting the file from > the first executable VMA. Then the path to the file is reconstructed and > reported as the result. > > Because of the VMA walk the code is slightly different on nommu systems. > This patch avoids separate /proc/pid/exe code on nommu systems. Instead of > walking the VMAs to find the first executable file-backed VMA we store a > reference to the exec'd file in the mm_struct. > > That reference would prevent the filesystem holding the executable file > from being unmounted even after unmapping the VMAs. So we track the number > of VM_EXECUTABLE VMAs and drop the new reference when the last one is > unmapped. This avoids pinning the mounted filesystem. exe_file's vma accounting is hooked into every file mmap/unmmap and vma split/merge just to fix some hypothetical pinning fs from umounting by mm, which already unmapped all its executable files, but still alive. Seems like currently nobody depends on this behaviour. We can try to remove this logic and keep mm->exe_file until final mmput(). mm->exe_file is still protected with mm->mmap_sem, because we want to change it via new sys_prctl(PR_SET_MM_EXE_FILE). Also via this syscall task can change its mm->exe_file and unpin mountpoint explicitly.

mm: change anon_vma linking to fix multi-process server scalability issue The old anon_vma code can lead to scalability issues with heavily forking workloads. Specifically, each anon_vma will be shared between the parent process and all its child processes. In a workload with 1000 child processes and a VMA with 1000 anonymous pages per process that get COWed, this leads to a system with a million anonymous pages in the same anon_vma, each of which is mapped in just one of the 1000 processes. However, the current rmap code needs to walk them all, leading to O(N) scanning complexity for each page. This can result in systems where one CPU is walking the page tables of 1000 processes in page_referenced_one, while all other CPUs are stuck on the anon_vma lock. This leads to catastrophic failure for a benchmark like AIM7, where the total number of processes can reach in the tens of thousands. Real workloads are still a factor 10 less process intensive than AIM7, but they are catching up. This patch changes the way anon_vmas and VMAs are linked, which allows us to associate multiple anon_vmas with a VMA. At fork time, each child process gets its own anon_vmas, in which its COWed pages will be instantiated. The parents' anon_vma is also linked to the VMA, because non-COWed pages could be present in any of the children. This reduces rmap scanning complexity to O(1) for the pages of the 1000 child processes, with O(N) complexity for at most 1/N pages in the system. This reduces the average scanning cost in heavily forking workloads from O(N) to 2. The only real complexity in this patch stems from the fact that linking a VMA to anon_vmas now involves memory allocations. This means vma_adjust can fail, if it needs to attach a VMA to anon_vma structures. This in turn means error handling needs to be added to the calling functions. A second source of complexity is that, because there can be multiple anon_vmas, the anon_vma linking in vma_adjust can no longer be done under "the" anon_vma lock. To prevent the rmap code from walking up an incomplete VMA, this patch introduces the VM_LOCK_RMAP VMA flag. This bit flag uses the same slot as the NOMMU VM_MAPPED_COPY, with an ifdef in mm.h to make sure it is impossible to compile a kernel that needs both symbolic values for the same bitflag. Some test results: Without the anon_vma changes, when AIM7 hits around 9.7k users (on a test box with 16GB RAM and not quite enough IO), the system ends up running >99% in system time, with every CPU on the same anon_vma lock in the pageout code. With these changes, AIM7 hits the cross-over point around 29.7k users. This happens with ~99% IO wait time, there never seems to be any spike in system time. The anon_vma lock contention appears to be resolved.

mm: kill vma flag VM_EXECUTABLE and mm->num_exe_file_vmas Currently the kernel sets mm->exe_file during sys_execve() and then tracks number of vmas with VM_EXECUTABLE flag in mm->num_exe_file_vmas, as soon as this counter drops to zero kernel resets mm->exe_file to NULL. Plus it resets mm->exe_file at last mmput() when mm->mm_users drops to zero. VMA with VM_EXECUTABLE flag appears after mapping file with flag MAP_EXECUTABLE, such vmas can appears only at sys_execve() or after vma splitting, because sys_mmap ignores this flag. Usually binfmt module sets mm->exe_file and mmaps executable vmas with this file, they hold mm->exe_file while task is running. comment from v2.6.25-6245-g925d1c4 ("procfs task exe symlink"), where all this stuff was introduced: > The kernel implements readlink of /proc/pid/exe by getting the file from > the first executable VMA. Then the path to the file is reconstructed and > reported as the result. > > Because of the VMA walk the code is slightly different on nommu systems. > This patch avoids separate /proc/pid/exe code on nommu systems. Instead of > walking the VMAs to find the first executable file-backed VMA we store a > reference to the exec'd file in the mm_struct. > > That reference would prevent the filesystem holding the executable file > from being unmounted even after unmapping the VMAs.

mm: change anon_vma linking to fix multi-process server scalability issue The old anon_vma code can lead to scalability issues with heavily forking workloads. Specifically, each anon_vma will be shared between the parent process and all its child processes. In a workload with 1000 child processes and a VMA with 1000 anonymous pages per process that get COWed, this leads to a system with a million anonymous pages in the same anon_vma, each of which is mapped in just one of the 1000 processes. However, the current rmap code needs to walk them all, leading to O(N) scanning complexity for each page. This can result in systems where one CPU is walking the page tables of 1000 processes in page_referenced_one, while all other CPUs are stuck on the anon_vma lock. This leads to catastrophic failure for a benchmark like AIM7, where the total number of processes can reach in the tens of thousands. Real workloads are still a factor 10 less process intensive than AIM7, but they are catching up. This patch changes the way anon_vmas and VMAs are linked, which allows us to associate multiple anon_vmas with a VMA. At fork time, each child process gets its own anon_vmas, in which its COWed pages will be instantiated. The parents' anon_vma is also linked to the VMA, because non-COWed pages could be present in any of the children. This reduces rmap scanning complexity to O(1) for the pages of the 1000 child processes, with O(N) complexity for at most 1/N pages in the system. This reduces the average scanning cost in heavily forking workloads from O(N) to 2. The only real complexity in this patch stems from the fact that linking a VMA to anon_vmas now involves memory allocations. This means vma_adjust can fail, if it needs to attach a VMA to anon_vma structures. This in turn means error handling needs to be added to the calling functions. A second source of complexity is that, because there can be multiple anon_vmas, the anon_vma linking in vma_adjust can no longer be done under "the" anon_vma lock. To prevent the rmap code from walking up an incomplete VMA, this patch introduces the VM_LOCK_RMAP VMA flag. This bit flag uses the same slot as the NOMMU VM_MAPPED_COPY, with an ifdef in mm.h to make sure it is impossible to compile a kernel that needs both symbolic values for the same bitflag. Some test results: Without the anon_vma changes, when AIM7 hits around 9.7k users (on a test box with 16GB RAM and not quite enough IO), the system ends up running >99% in system time, with every CPU on the same anon_vma lock in the pageout code. With these changes, AIM7 hits the cross-over point around 29.7k users. This happens with ~99% IO wait time, there never seems to be any spike in system time. The anon_vma lock contention appears to be resolved.

mm: mmu_gather rework Rework the existing mmu_gather infrastructure. The direct purpose of these patches was to allow preemptible mmu_gather, but even without that I think these patches provide an improvement to the status quo. The first 9 patches rework the mmu_gather infrastructure. For review purpose I've split them into generic and per-arch patches with the last of those a generic cleanup. The next patch provides generic RCU page-table freeing, and the followup is a patch converting s390 to use this. I've also got 4 patches from DaveM lined up (not included in this series) that uses this to implement gup_fast() for sparc64. Then there is one patch that extends the generic mmu_gather batching. After that follow the mm preemptibility patches, these make part of the mm a lot more preemptible. It converts i_mmap_lock and anon_vma->lock to mutexes which together with the mmu_gather rework makes mmu_gather preemptible as well. Making i_mmap_lock a mutex also enables a clean-up of the truncate code. This also allows for preemptible mmu_notifiers, something that XPMEM I think wants. Furthermore, it removes the new and universially detested unmap_mutex. This patch: Remove the first obstacle towards a fully preemptible mmu_gather. The current scheme assumes mmu_gather is always done with preemption disabled and uses per-cpu storage for the page batches. Change this to try and allocate a page for batching and in case of failure, use a small on-stack array to make some progress. Preemptible mmu_gather is desired in general and usable once i_mmap_lock becomes a mutex. Doing it before the mutex conversion saves us from having to rework the code by moving the mmu_gather bits inside the pte_lock. Also avoid flushing the tlb batches from under the pte lock, this is useful even without the i_mmap_lock conversion as it significantly reduces pte lock hold times.

/* mm's last user has gone, and its about to be pulled down */
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.

mm: rearrange exit_mmap() to unlock before arch_exit_mmap Christophe Saout reported [in precursor to: http://marc.info/?l=linux-kernel&m=123209902707347&w=4]: > Note that I also some a different issue with CONFIG_UNEVICTABLE_LRU. > Seems like Xen tears down current->mm early on process termination, so > that __get_user_pages in exit_mmap causes nasty messages when the > process had any mlocked pages. (in fact, it somehow manages to get into > the swapping code and produces a null pointer dereference trying to get > a swap token) Jeremy explained: Yes. In the normal case under Xen, an in-use pagetable is "pinned", meaning that it is RO to the kernel, and all updates must go via hypercall (or writes are trapped and emulated, which is much the same thing). An unpinned pagetable is not currently in use by any process, and can be directly accessed as normal RW pages. As an optimisation at process exit time, we unpin the pagetable as early as possible (switching the process to init_mm), so that all the normal pagetable teardown can happen with direct memory accesses. This happens in exit_mmap() -> arch_exit_mmap(). The munlocking happens a few lines below. The obvious thing to do would be to move arch_exit_mmap() to below the munlock code, but I think we'd want to call it even if mm->mmap is NULL, just to be on the safe side. Thus, this patch: exit_mmap() needs to unlock any locked vmas before calling arch_exit_mmap, as the latter may switch the current mm to init_mm, which would cause the former to fail.

Fix TLB gather virtual address range invalidation corner cases Ben Tebulin reported: "Since v3.7.2 on two independent machines a very specific Git repository fails in 9/10 cases on git-fsck due to an SHA1/memory failures. This only occurs on a very specific repository and can be reproduced stably on two independent laptops. Git mailing list ran out of ideas and for me this looks like some very exotic kernel issue" and bisected the failure to the backport of commit 53a59fc67f97 ("mm: limit mmu_gather batching to fix soft lockups on !CONFIG_PREEMPT"). That commit itself is not actually buggy, but what it does is to make it much more likely to hit the partial TLB invalidation case, since it introduces a new case in tlb_next_batch() that previously only ever happened when running out of memory. The real bug is that the TLB gather virtual memory range setup is subtly buggered. It was introduced in commit 597e1c3580b7 ("mm/mmu_gather: enable tlb flush range in generic mmu_gather"), and the range handling was already fixed at least once in commit e6c495a96ce0 ("mm: fix the TLB range flushed when __tlb_remove_page() runs out of slots"), but that fix was not complete. The problem with the TLB gather virtual address range is that it isn't set up by the initial tlb_gather_mmu() initialization (which didn't get the TLB range information), but it is set up ad-hoc later by the functions that actually flush the TLB. And so any such case that forgot to update the TLB range entries would potentially miss TLB invalidates. Rather than try to figure out exactly which particular ad-hoc range setup was missing (I personally suspect it's the hugetlb case in zap_huge_pmd(), which didn't have the same logic as zap_pte_range() did), this patch just gets rid of the problem at the source: make the TLB range information available to tlb_gather_mmu(), and initialize it when initializing all the other tlb gather fields. This makes the patch larger, but conceptually much simpler. And the end result is much more understandable; even if you want to play games with partial ranges when invalidating the TLB contents in chunks, now the range information is always there, and anybody who doesn't want to bother with it won't introduce subtle bugs. Ben verified that this fixes his problem.

[PATCH] freepgt: free_pgtables use vma list Recent woes with some arches needing their own pgd_addr_end macro; and 4-level clear_page_range regression since 2.6.10's clear_page_tables; and its long-standing well-known inefficiency in searching throughout the higher-level page tables for those few entries to clear and free: all can be blamed on ignoring the list of vmas when we free page tables. Replace exit_mmap's clear_page_range of the total user address space by free_pgtables operating on the mm's vma list; unmap_region use it in the same way, giving floor and ceiling beyond which it may not free tables. This brings lmbench fork/exec/sh numbers back to 2.6.10 (unless preempt is enabled, in which case latency fixes spoil unmap_vmas throughput). Beware: the do_mmap_pgoff driver failure case must now use unmap_region instead of zap_page_range, since a page table might have been allocated, and can only be freed while it is touched by some vma. Move free_pgtables from mmap.c to memory.c, where its lower levels are adapted from the clear_page_range levels. (Most of free_pgtables' old code was actually for a non-existent case, prev not properly set up, dating from before hch gave us split_vma.) Pass mmu_gather** in the public interfaces, since we might want to add latency lockdrops later; but no attempt to do so yet, going by vma should itself reduce latency. But what if is_hugepage_only_range? Those ia64 and ppc64 cases need careful examination: put that off until a later patch of the series. What of x86_64's 32bit vdso page __map_syscall32 maps outside any vma? And the range to sparc64's flush_tlb_pgtables? It's less clear to me now that we need to do more than is done here - every PMD_SIZE ever occupied will be flushed, do we really have to flush every PGDIR_SIZE ever partially occupied?

ksm: fix oom deadlock There's a now-obvious deadlock in KSM's out-of-memory handling: imagine ksmd or KSM_RUN_UNMERGE handling, holding ksm_thread_mutex, trying to allocate a page to break KSM in an mm which becomes the OOM victim (quite likely in the unmerge case): it's killed and goes to exit, and hangs there waiting to acquire ksm_thread_mutex. Clearly we must not require ksm_thread_mutex in __ksm_exit, simple though that made everything else: perhaps use mmap_sem somehow? And part of the answer lies in the comments on unmerge_ksm_pages: __ksm_exit should also leave all the rmap_item removal to ksmd. But there's a fundamental problem, that KSM relies upon mmap_sem to guarantee the consistency of the mm it's dealing with, yet exit_mmap tears down an mm without taking mmap_sem. And bumping mm_users won't help at all, that just ensures that the pages the OOM killer assumes are on their way to being freed will not be freed. The best answer seems to be, to move the ksm_exit callout from just before exit_mmap, to the middle of exit_mmap: after the mm's pages have been freed (if the mmu_gather is flushed), but before its page tables and vma structures have been freed; and down_write,up_write mmap_sem there to serialize with KSM's own reliance on mmap_sem. But KSM then needs to be careful, whenever it downs mmap_sem, to check that the mm is not already exiting: there's a danger of using find_vma on a layout that's being torn apart, or writing into page tables which have been freed for reuse; and even do_anonymous_page and __do_fault need to check they're not being called by break_ksm to reinstate a pte after zap_pte_range has zapped that page table. Though it might be clearer to add an exiting flag, set while holding mmap_sem in __ksm_exit, that wouldn't cover the issue of reinstating a zapped pte. All we need is to check whether mm_users is 0 - but must remember that ksmd may detect that before __ksm_exit is reached. So, ksm_test_exit(mm) added to comment such checks on mm->mm_users. __ksm_exit now has to leave clearing up the rmap_items to ksmd, that needs ksm_thread_mutex; but shift the exiting mm just after the ksm_scan cursor so that it will soon be dealt with. __ksm_enter raise mm_count to hold the mm_struct, ksmd's exit processing (exactly like its processing when it finds all VM_MERGEABLEs unmapped) mmdrop it, similar procedure for KSM_RUN_UNMERGE (which has stopped ksmd). But also give __ksm_exit a fast path: when there's no complication (no rmap_items attached to mm and it's not at the ksm_scan cursor), it can safely do all the exiting work itself. This is not just an optimization: when ksmd is not running, the raised mm_count would otherwise leak mm_structs.

[PATCH] mm: unlink vma before pagetables In most places the descent from pgd to pud to pmd to pte holds mmap_sem (exclusively or not), which ensures that free_pgtables cannot be freeing page tables from any level at the same time. But truncation and reverse mapping descend without mmap_sem. No problem: just make sure that a vma is unlinked from its prio_tree (or nonlinear list) and from its anon_vma list, after zapping the vma, but before freeing its page tables. Then neither vmtruncate nor rmap can reach that vma whose page tables are now volatile (nor do they need to reach it, since all its page entries have been zapped by this stage). The i_mmap_lock and anon_vma->lock already serialize this correctly; but the locking hierarchy is such that we cannot take them while holding page_table_lock. Well, we're trying to push that down anyway. So in this patch, move anon_vma_unlink and unlink_file_vma into free_pgtables, at the same time as moving page_table_lock around calls to unmap_vmas. tlb_gather_mmu and tlb_finish_mmu then fall outside the page_table_lock, but we made them preempt_disable and preempt_enable earlier; and a long source audit of all the architectures has shown no problem with removing page_table_lock from them. free_pgtables doesn't need page_table_lock for itself, nor for what it calls; tlb->mm->nr_ptes is usually protected by page_table_lock, but partly by non-exclusive mmap_sem - here it's decremented with exclusive mmap_sem, or mm_users 0. update_hiwater_rss and vm_unacct_memory don't need page_table_lock either.

uprobes, mm, x86: Add the ability to install and remove uprobes breakpoints Add uprobes support to the core kernel, with x86 support. This commit adds the kernel facilities, the actual uprobes user-space ABI and perf probe support comes in later commits. General design: Uprobes are maintained in an rb-tree indexed by inode and offset (the offset here is from the start of the mapping). For a unique (inode, offset) tuple, there can be at most one uprobe in the rb-tree. Since the (inode, offset) tuple identifies a unique uprobe, more than one user may be interested in the same uprobe. This provides the ability to connect multiple 'consumers' to the same uprobe. Each consumer defines a handler and a filter (optional). The 'handler' is run every time the uprobe is hit, if it matches the 'filter' criteria. The first consumer of a uprobe causes the breakpoint to be inserted at the specified address and subsequent consumers are appended to this list. On subsequent probes, the consumer gets appended to the existing list of consumers. The breakpoint is removed when the last consumer unregisters. For all other unregisterations, the consumer is removed from the list of consumers. Given a inode, we get a list of the mms that have mapped the inode. Do the actual registration if mm maps the page where a probe needs to be inserted/removed. We use a temporary list to walk through the vmas that map the inode. - The number of maps that map the inode, is not known before we walk the rmap and keeps changing. - extending vm_area_struct wasn't recommended, it's a size-critical data structure. - There can be more than one maps of the inode in the same mm. We add callbacks to the mmap methods to keep an eye on text vmas that are of interest to uprobes. When a vma of interest is mapped, we insert the breakpoint at the right address. Uprobe works by replacing the instruction at the address defined by (inode, offset) with the arch specific breakpoint instruction. We save a copy of the original instruction at the uprobed address. This is needed for: a. executing the instruction out-of-line (xol). b. instruction analysis for any subsequent fixups. c. restoring the instruction back when the uprobe is unregistered. We insert or delete a breakpoint instruction, and this breakpoint instruction is assumed to be the smallest instruction available on the platform. For fixed size instruction platforms this is trivially true, for variable size instruction platforms the breakpoint instruction is typically the smallest (often a single byte). Writing the instruction is done by COWing the page and changing the instruction during the copy, this even though most platforms allow atomic writes of the breakpoint instruction. This also mirrors the behaviour of a ptrace() memory write to a PRIVATE file map. The core worker is derived from KSM's replace_page() logic. In essence, similar to KSM: a. allocate a new page and copy over contents of the page that has the uprobed vaddr b. modify the copy and insert the breakpoint at the required address c. switch the original page with the copy containing the breakpoint d. flush page tables. replace_page() is being replicated here because of some minor changes in the type of pages and also because Hugh Dickins had plans to improve replace_page() for KSM specific work. Instruction analysis on x86 is based on instruction decoder and determines if an instruction can be probed and determines the necessary fixups after singlestep. Instruction analysis is done at probe insertion time so that we avoid having to repeat the same analysis every time a probe is hit. A lot of code here is due to the improvement/suggestions/inputs from Peter Zijlstra. Changelog: (v10): - Add code to clear REX.B prefix as suggested by Denys Vlasenko and Masami Hiramatsu. (v9): - Use insn_offset_modrm as suggested by Masami Hiramatsu. (v7): Handle comments from Peter Zijlstra: - Dont take reference to inode. (expect inode to uprobe_register to be sane). - Use PTR_ERR to set the return value. - No need to take reference to inode. - use PTR_ERR to return error value. - register and uprobe_unregister share code. (v5): - Modified del_consumer as per comments from Peter. - Drop reference to inode before dropping reference to uprobe. - Use i_size_read(inode) instead of inode->i_size. - Ensure uprobe->consumers is NULL, before __uprobe_unregister() is called. - Includes errno.h as recommended by Stephen Rothwell to fix a build issue on sparc defconfig - Remove restrictions while unregistering. - Earlier code leaked inode references under some conditions while registering/unregistering. - Continue the vma-rmap walk even if the intermediate vma doesnt meet the requirements. - Validate the vma found by find_vma before inserting/removing the breakpoint - Call del_consumer under mutex_lock. - Use hash locks. - Handle mremap. - Introduce find_least_offset_node() instead of close match logic in find_uprobe - Uprobes no more depends on MM_OWNER; No reference to task_structs while inserting/removing a probe. - Uses read_mapping_page instead of grab_cache_page so that the pages have valid content. - pass NULL to get_user_pages for the task parameter. - call SetPageUptodate on the new page allocated in write_opcode. - fix leaking a reference to the new page under certain conditions. - Include Instruction Decoder if Uprobes gets defined. - Remove const attributes for instruction prefix arrays. - Uses mm_context to know if the application is 32 bit.

mremap: enforce rmap src/dst vma ordering in case of vma_merge() succeeding in copy_vma() migrate was doing an rmap_walk with speculative lock-less access on pagetables. That could lead it to not serializing properly against mremap PT locks. But a second problem remains in the order of vmas in the same_anon_vma list used by the rmap_walk. If vma_merge succeeds in copy_vma, the src vma could be placed after the dst vma in the same_anon_vma list. That could still lead to migrate missing some pte. This patch adds an anon_vma_moveto_tail() function to force the dst vma at the end of the list before mremap starts to solve the problem.

mm: change anon_vma linking to fix multi-process server scalability issue The old anon_vma code can lead to scalability issues with heavily forking workloads. Specifically, each anon_vma will be shared between the parent process and all its child processes. In a workload with 1000 child processes and a VMA with 1000 anonymous pages per process that get COWed, this leads to a system with a million anonymous pages in the same anon_vma, each of which is mapped in just one of the 1000 processes. However, the current rmap code needs to walk them all, leading to O(N) scanning complexity for each page. This can result in systems where one CPU is walking the page tables of 1000 processes in page_referenced_one, while all other CPUs are stuck on the anon_vma lock. This leads to catastrophic failure for a benchmark like AIM7, where the total number of processes can reach in the tens of thousands. Real workloads are still a factor 10 less process intensive than AIM7, but they are catching up. This patch changes the way anon_vmas and VMAs are linked, which allows us to associate multiple anon_vmas with a VMA. At fork time, each child process gets its own anon_vmas, in which its COWed pages will be instantiated. The parents' anon_vma is also linked to the VMA, because non-COWed pages could be present in any of the children. This reduces rmap scanning complexity to O(1) for the pages of the 1000 child processes, with O(N) complexity for at most 1/N pages in the system. This reduces the average scanning cost in heavily forking workloads from O(N) to 2. The only real complexity in this patch stems from the fact that linking a VMA to anon_vmas now involves memory allocations. This means vma_adjust can fail, if it needs to attach a VMA to anon_vma structures. This in turn means error handling needs to be added to the calling functions. A second source of complexity is that, because there can be multiple anon_vmas, the anon_vma linking in vma_adjust can no longer be done under "the" anon_vma lock. To prevent the rmap code from walking up an incomplete VMA, this patch introduces the VM_LOCK_RMAP VMA flag. This bit flag uses the same slot as the NOMMU VM_MAPPED_COPY, with an ifdef in mm.h to make sure it is impossible to compile a kernel that needs both symbolic values for the same bitflag. Some test results: Without the anon_vma changes, when AIM7 hits around 9.7k users (on a test box with 16GB RAM and not quite enough IO), the system ends up running >99% in system time, with every CPU on the same anon_vma lock in the pageout code. With these changes, AIM7 hits the cross-over point around 29.7k users. This happens with ~99% IO wait time, there never seems to be any spike in system time. The anon_vma lock contention appears to be resolved.

mm: kill vma flag VM_EXECUTABLE and mm->num_exe_file_vmas Currently the kernel sets mm->exe_file during sys_execve() and then tracks number of vmas with VM_EXECUTABLE flag in mm->num_exe_file_vmas, as soon as this counter drops to zero kernel resets mm->exe_file to NULL. Plus it resets mm->exe_file at last mmput() when mm->mm_users drops to zero. VMA with VM_EXECUTABLE flag appears after mapping file with flag MAP_EXECUTABLE, such vmas can appears only at sys_execve() or after vma splitting, because sys_mmap ignores this flag. Usually binfmt module sets mm->exe_file and mmaps executable vmas with this file, they hold mm->exe_file while task is running. comment from v2.6.25-6245-g925d1c4 ("procfs task exe symlink"), where all this stuff was introduced: > The kernel implements readlink of /proc/pid/exe by getting the file from > the first executable VMA. Then the path to the file is reconstructed and > reported as the result. > > Because of the VMA walk the code is slightly different on nommu systems. > This patch avoids separate /proc/pid/exe code on nommu systems. Instead of > walking the VMAs to find the first executable file-backed VMA we store a > reference to the exec'd file in the mm_struct. > > That reference would prevent the filesystem holding the executable file > from being unmounted even after unmapping the VMAs. So we track the number > of VM_EXECUTABLE VMAs and drop the new reference when the last one is > unmapped. This avoids pinning the mounted filesystem. exe_file's vma accounting is hooked into every file mmap/unmmap and vma split/merge just to fix some hypothetical pinning fs from umounting by mm, which already unmapped all its executable files, but still alive. Seems like currently nobody depends on this behaviour. We can try to remove this logic and keep mm->exe_file until final mmput(). mm->exe_file is still protected with mm->mmap_sem, because we want to change it via new sys_prctl(PR_SET_MM_EXE_FILE). Also via this syscall task can change its mm->exe_file and unpin mountpoint explicitly.

mm: change anon_vma linking to fix multi-process server scalability issue The old anon_vma code can lead to scalability issues with heavily forking workloads. Specifically, each anon_vma will be shared between the parent process and all its child processes. In a workload with 1000 child processes and a VMA with 1000 anonymous pages per process that get COWed, this leads to a system with a million anonymous pages in the same anon_vma, each of which is mapped in just one of the 1000 processes. However, the current rmap code needs to walk them all, leading to O(N) scanning complexity for each page. This can result in systems where one CPU is walking the page tables of 1000 processes in page_referenced_one, while all other CPUs are stuck on the anon_vma lock. This leads to catastrophic failure for a benchmark like AIM7, where the total number of processes can reach in the tens of thousands. Real workloads are still a factor 10 less process intensive than AIM7, but they are catching up. This patch changes the way anon_vmas and VMAs are linked, which allows us to associate multiple anon_vmas with a VMA. At fork time, each child process gets its own anon_vmas, in which its COWed pages will be instantiated. The parents' anon_vma is also linked to the VMA, because non-COWed pages could be present in any of the children. This reduces rmap scanning complexity to O(1) for the pages of the 1000 child processes, with O(N) complexity for at most 1/N pages in the system. This reduces the average scanning cost in heavily forking workloads from O(N) to 2. The only real complexity in this patch stems from the fact that linking a VMA to anon_vmas now involves memory allocations. This means vma_adjust can fail, if it needs to attach a VMA to anon_vma structures. This in turn means error handling needs to be added to the calling functions. A second source of complexity is that, because there can be multiple anon_vmas, the anon_vma linking in vma_adjust can no longer be done under "the" anon_vma lock. To prevent the rmap code from walking up an incomplete VMA, this patch introduces the VM_LOCK_RMAP VMA flag. This bit flag uses the same slot as the NOMMU VM_MAPPED_COPY, with an ifdef in mm.h to make sure it is impossible to compile a kernel that needs both symbolic values for the same bitflag. Some test results: Without the anon_vma changes, when AIM7 hits around 9.7k users (on a test box with 16GB RAM and not quite enough IO), the system ends up running >99% in system time, with every CPU on the same anon_vma lock in the pageout code. With these changes, AIM7 hits the cross-over point around 29.7k users. This happens with ~99% IO wait time, there never seems to be any spike in system time. The anon_vma lock contention appears to be resolved.

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.

A single task can't take more than one mm_take_all_locks() in a row or it would deadlock. mm_take_all_locks() and mm_drop_all_locks are expensive operations that may have to take thousand of locks. mm_take_all_locks() can fail if it's interrupted by signals. When mmu_notifier_register returns, we must be sure that the driver is notified if some task is in the middle of a vmtruncate for the 'mm' where the mmu notifier was registered (mmu_notifier_invalidate_range_start/end is run around the vmtruncation but mmu_notifier_register can run after mmu_notifier_invalidate_range_start and before mmu_notifier_invalidate_range_end). Same problem for rmap paths. And we've to remove page pinning to avoid replicating the tlb_gather logic inside KVM (and GRU doesn't work well with page pinning regardless of needing tlb_gather), so without mm_take_all_locks when vmtruncate frees the page, kvm would have no way to notice that it mapped into sptes a page that is going into the freelist without a chance of any further mmu_notifier notification.

mm anon rmap: replace same_anon_vma linked list with an interval tree. When a large VMA (anon or private file mapping) is first touched, which will populate its anon_vma field, and then split into many regions through the use of mprotect(), the original anon_vma ends up linking all of the vmas on a linked list. This can cause rmap to become inefficient, as we have to walk potentially thousands of irrelevent vmas before finding the one a given anon page might fall into. By replacing the same_anon_vma linked list with an interval tree (where each avc's interval is determined by its vma's start and last pgoffs), we can make rmap efficient for this use case again. While the change is large, all of its pieces are fairly simple. Most places that were walking the same_anon_vma list were looking for a known pgoff, so they can just use the anon_vma_interval_tree_foreach() interval tree iterator instead. The exception here is ksm, where the page's index is not known. It would probably be possible to rework ksm so that the index would be known, but for now I have decided to keep things simple and just walk the entirety of the interval tree there. When updating vma's that already have an anon_vma assigned, we must take care to re-index the corresponding avc's on their interval tree. This is done through the use of anon_vma_interval_tree_pre_update_vma() and anon_vma_interval_tree_post_update_vma(), which remove the avc's from their interval tree before the update and re-insert them after the update. The anon_vma stays locked during the update, so there is no chance that rmap would miss the vmas that are being updated.

However, the properly annotated nested locking in mm_take_all_locks() has been converted from mutex_lock_nest_lock(&anon_vma->root->mutex, &mm->mmap_sem); to down_write(&anon_vma->root->rwsem); which is incomplete, and causes the false positive report from lockdep below.

mm anon rmap: replace same_anon_vma linked list with an interval tree. When a large VMA (anon or private file mapping) is first touched, which will populate its anon_vma field, and then split into many regions through the use of mprotect(), the original anon_vma ends up linking all of the vmas on a linked list. This can cause rmap to become inefficient, as we have to walk potentially thousands of irrelevent vmas before finding the one a given anon page might fall into. By replacing the same_anon_vma linked list with an interval tree (where each avc's interval is determined by its vma's start and last pgoffs), we can make rmap efficient for this use case again. While the change is large, all of its pieces are fairly simple. Most places that were walking the same_anon_vma list were looking for a known pgoff, so they can just use the anon_vma_interval_tree_foreach() interval tree iterator instead. The exception here is ksm, where the page's index is not known. It would probably be possible to rework ksm so that the index would be known, but for now I have decided to keep things simple and just walk the entirety of the interval tree there. When updating vma's that already have an anon_vma assigned, we must take care to re-index the corresponding avc's on their interval tree. This is done through the use of anon_vma_interval_tree_pre_update_vma() and anon_vma_interval_tree_post_update_vma(), which remove the avc's from their interval tree before the update and re-insert them after the update. The anon_vma stays locked during the update, so there is no chance that rmap would miss the vmas that are being updated.

mm: change anon_vma linking to fix multi-process server scalability issue The old anon_vma code can lead to scalability issues with heavily forking workloads. Specifically, each anon_vma will be shared between the parent process and all its child processes. In a workload with 1000 child processes and a VMA with 1000 anonymous pages per process that get COWed, this leads to a system with a million anonymous pages in the same anon_vma, each of which is mapped in just one of the 1000 processes. However, the current rmap code needs to walk them all, leading to O(N) scanning complexity for each page. This can result in systems where one CPU is walking the page tables of 1000 processes in page_referenced_one, while all other CPUs are stuck on the anon_vma lock. This leads to catastrophic failure for a benchmark like AIM7, where the total number of processes can reach in the tens of thousands. Real workloads are still a factor 10 less process intensive than AIM7, but they are catching up. This patch changes the way anon_vmas and VMAs are linked, which allows us to associate multiple anon_vmas with a VMA. At fork time, each child process gets its own anon_vmas, in which its COWed pages will be instantiated. The parents' anon_vma is also linked to the VMA, because non-COWed pages could be present in any of the children. This reduces rmap scanning complexity to O(1) for the pages of the 1000 child processes, with O(N) complexity for at most 1/N pages in the system. This reduces the average scanning cost in heavily forking workloads from O(N) to 2. The only real complexity in this patch stems from the fact that linking a VMA to anon_vmas now involves memory allocations. This means vma_adjust can fail, if it needs to attach a VMA to anon_vma structures. This in turn means error handling needs to be added to the calling functions. A second source of complexity is that, because there can be multiple anon_vmas, the anon_vma linking in vma_adjust can no longer be done under "the" anon_vma lock. To prevent the rmap code from walking up an incomplete VMA, this patch introduces the VM_LOCK_RMAP VMA flag. This bit flag uses the same slot as the NOMMU VM_MAPPED_COPY, with an ifdef in mm.h to make sure it is impossible to compile a kernel that needs both symbolic values for the same bitflag. Some test results: Without the anon_vma changes, when AIM7 hits around 9.7k users (on a test box with 16GB RAM and not quite enough IO), the system ends up running >99% in system time, with every CPU on the same anon_vma lock in the pageout code. With these changes, AIM7 hits the cross-over point around 29.7k users. This happens with ~99% IO wait time, there never seems to be any spike in system time. The anon_vma lock contention appears to be resolved.

This operation locks against the VM for all pte/vma/mm related operations that could ever happen on a certain mm. This includes vmtruncate, try_to_unmap, and all page faults. The caller must take the mmap_sem in write mode before calling mm_take_all_locks(). The caller isn't allowed to release the mmap_sem until mm_drop_all_locks() returns. mmap_sem in write mode is required in order to block all operations that could modify pagetables and free pages without need of altering the vma layout (for example populate_range() with nonlinear vmas). It's also needed in write mode to avoid new anon_vmas to be associated with existing vmas. A single task can't take more than one mm_take_all_locks() in a row or it would deadlock. mm_take_all_locks() and mm_drop_all_locks are expensive operations that may have to take thousand of locks. mm_take_all_locks() can fail if it's interrupted by signals. When mmu_notifier_register returns, we must be sure that the driver is notified if some task is in the middle of a vmtruncate for the 'mm' where the mmu notifier was registered (mmu_notifier_invalidate_range_start/end is run around the vmtruncation but mmu_notifier_register can run after mmu_notifier_invalidate_range_start and before mmu_notifier_invalidate_range_end). Same problem for rmap paths. And we've to remove page pinning to avoid replicating the tlb_gather logic inside KVM (and GRU doesn't work well with page pinning regardless of needing tlb_gather), so without mm_take_all_locks when vmtruncate frees the page, kvm would have no way to notice that it mapped into sptes a page that is going into the freelist without a chance of any further mmu_notifier notification.

mmu-notifiers: add mm_take_all_locks() operation mm_take_all_locks holds off reclaim from an entire mm_struct. This allows mmu notifiers to register into the mm at any time with the guarantee that no mmu operation is in progress on the mm. This operation locks against the VM for all pte/vma/mm related operations that could ever happen on a certain mm. This includes vmtruncate, try_to_unmap, and all page faults. The caller must take the mmap_sem in write mode before calling mm_take_all_locks(). The caller isn't allowed to release the mmap_sem until mm_drop_all_locks() returns. mmap_sem in write mode is required in order to block all operations that could modify pagetables and free pages without need of altering the vma layout (for example populate_range() with nonlinear vmas). It's also needed in write mode to avoid new anon_vmas to be associated with existing vmas. A single task can't take more than one mm_take_all_locks() in a row or it would deadlock. mm_take_all_locks() and mm_drop_all_locks are expensive operations that may have to take thousand of locks. mm_take_all_locks() can fail if it's interrupted by signals. When mmu_notifier_register returns, we must be sure that the driver is notified if some task is in the middle of a vmtruncate for the 'mm' where the mmu notifier was registered (mmu_notifier_invalidate_range_start/end is run around the vmtruncation but mmu_notifier_register can run after mmu_notifier_invalidate_range_start and before mmu_notifier_invalidate_range_end). Same problem for rmap paths. And we've to remove page pinning to avoid replicating the tlb_gather logic inside KVM (and GRU doesn't work well with page pinning regardless of needing tlb_gather), so without mm_take_all_locks when vmtruncate frees the page, kvm would have no way to notice that it mapped into sptes a page that is going into the freelist without a chance of any further mmu_notifier notification.

mm: change anon_vma linking to fix multi-process server scalability issue The old anon_vma code can lead to scalability issues with heavily forking workloads. Specifically, each anon_vma will be shared between the parent process and all its child processes. In a workload with 1000 child processes and a VMA with 1000 anonymous pages per process that get COWed, this leads to a system with a million anonymous pages in the same anon_vma, each of which is mapped in just one of the 1000 processes. However, the current rmap code needs to walk them all, leading to O(N) scanning complexity for each page. This can result in systems where one CPU is walking the page tables of 1000 processes in page_referenced_one, while all other CPUs are stuck on the anon_vma lock. This leads to catastrophic failure for a benchmark like AIM7, where the total number of processes can reach in the tens of thousands. Real workloads are still a factor 10 less process intensive than AIM7, but they are catching up. This patch changes the way anon_vmas and VMAs are linked, which allows us to associate multiple anon_vmas with a VMA. At fork time, each child process gets its own anon_vmas, in which its COWed pages will be instantiated. The parents' anon_vma is also linked to the VMA, because non-COWed pages could be present in any of the children. This reduces rmap scanning complexity to O(1) for the pages of the 1000 child processes, with O(N) complexity for at most 1/N pages in the system. This reduces the average scanning cost in heavily forking workloads from O(N) to 2. The only real complexity in this patch stems from the fact that linking a VMA to anon_vmas now involves memory allocations. This means vma_adjust can fail, if it needs to attach a VMA to anon_vma structures. This in turn means error handling needs to be added to the calling functions. A second source of complexity is that, because there can be multiple anon_vmas, the anon_vma linking in vma_adjust can no longer be done under "the" anon_vma lock. To prevent the rmap code from walking up an incomplete VMA, this patch introduces the VM_LOCK_RMAP VMA flag. This bit flag uses the same slot as the NOMMU VM_MAPPED_COPY, with an ifdef in mm.h to make sure it is impossible to compile a kernel that needs both symbolic values for the same bitflag. Some test results: Without the anon_vma changes, when AIM7 hits around 9.7k users (on a test box with 16GB RAM and not quite enough IO), the system ends up running >99% in system time, with every CPU on the same anon_vma lock in the pageout code. With these changes, AIM7 hits the cross-over point around 29.7k users. This happens with ~99% IO wait time, there never seems to be any spike in system time. The anon_vma lock contention appears to be resolved.

NOMMU: Make VMAs per MM as for MMU-mode linux Make VMAs per mm_struct as for MMU-mode linux. This solves two problems: (1) In SYSV SHM where nattch for a segment does not reflect the number of shmat's (and forks) done. (2) In mmap() where the VMA's vm_mm is set to point to the parent mm by an exec'ing process when VM_EXECUTABLE is specified, regardless of the fact that a VMA might be shared and already have its vm_mm assigned to another process or a dead process. A new struct (vm_region) is introduced to track a mapped region and to remember the circumstances under which it may be shared and the vm_list_struct structure is discarded as it's no longer required. This patch makes the following additional changes: (1) Regions are now allocated with alloc_pages() rather than kmalloc() and with no recourse to __GFP_COMP, so the pages are not composite. Instead, each page has a reference on it held by the region. Anything else that is interested in such a page will have to get a reference on it to retain it. When the pages are released due to unmapping, each page is passed to put_page() and will be freed when the page usage count reaches zero. (2) Excess pages are trimmed after an allocation as the allocation must be made as a power-of-2 quantity of pages. (3) VMAs are added to the parent MM's R/B tree and mmap lists. As an MM may end up with overlapping VMAs within the tree, the VMA struct address is appended to the sort key. (4) Non-anonymous VMAs are now added to the backing inode's prio list. (5) Holes may be punched in anonymous VMAs with munmap(), releasing parts of the backing region. The VMA and region structs will be split if necessary. (6) sys_shmdt() only releases one attachment to a SYSV IPC shared memory segment instead of all the attachments at that addresss. Multiple shmat()'s return the same address under NOMMU-mode instead of different virtual addresses as under MMU-mode. (7) Core dumping for ELF-FDPIC requires fewer exceptions for NOMMU-mode. (8) /proc/maps is now the global list of mapped regions, and may list bits that aren't actually mapped anywhere. (9) /proc/meminfo gains a line (tagged "MmapCopy") that indicates the amount of RAM currently allocated by mmap to hold mappable regions that can't be mapped directly. These are copies of the backing device or file if not anonymous. These changes make NOMMU mode more similar to MMU mode. The downside is that NOMMU mode requires some extra memory to track things over NOMMU without this patch (VMAs are no longer shared, and there are now region structs).

mm: fix Committed_AS underflow on large NR_CPUS environment The Committed_AS field can underflow in certain situations: > # while true; do cat /proc/meminfo | grep _AS; sleep 1; done | uniq -c > 1 Committed_AS: 18446744073709323392 kB > 11 Committed_AS: 18446744073709455488 kB > 6 Committed_AS: 35136 kB > 5 Committed_AS: 18446744073709454400 kB > 7 Committed_AS: 35904 kB > 3 Committed_AS: 18446744073709453248 kB > 2 Committed_AS: 34752 kB > 9 Committed_AS: 18446744073709453248 kB > 8 Committed_AS: 34752 kB > 3 Committed_AS: 18446744073709320960 kB > 7 Committed_AS: 18446744073709454080 kB > 3 Committed_AS: 18446744073709320960 kB > 5 Committed_AS: 18446744073709454080 kB > 6 Committed_AS: 18446744073709320960 kB Because NR_CPUS can be greater than 1000 and meminfo_proc_show() does not check for underflow. But NR_CPUS proportional isn't good calculation. In general, possibility of lock contention is proportional to the number of online cpus, not theorical maximum cpus (NR_CPUS). The current kernel has generic percpu-counter stuff. using it is right way. it makes code simplify and percpu_counter_read_positive() don't make underflow issue.

NOMMU: Make VMAs per MM as for MMU-mode linux Make VMAs per mm_struct as for MMU-mode linux. This solves two problems: (1) In SYSV SHM where nattch for a segment does not reflect the number of shmat's (and forks) done. (2) In mmap() where the VMA's vm_mm is set to point to the parent mm by an exec'ing process when VM_EXECUTABLE is specified, regardless of the fact that a VMA might be shared and already have its vm_mm assigned to another process or a dead process. A new struct (vm_region) is introduced to track a mapped region and to remember the circumstances under which it may be shared and the vm_list_struct structure is discarded as it's no longer required. This patch makes the following additional changes: (1) Regions are now allocated with alloc_pages() rather than kmalloc() and with no recourse to __GFP_COMP, so the pages are not composite. Instead, each page has a reference on it held by the region. Anything else that is interested in such a page will have to get a reference on it to retain it. When the pages are released due to unmapping, each page is passed to put_page() and will be freed when the page usage count reaches zero. (2) Excess pages are trimmed after an allocation as the allocation must be made as a power-of-2 quantity of pages. (3) VMAs are added to the parent MM's R/B tree and mmap lists. As an MM may end up with overlapping VMAs within the tree, the VMA struct address is appended to the sort key. (4) Non-anonymous VMAs are now added to the backing inode's prio list. (5) Holes may be punched in anonymous VMAs with munmap(), releasing parts of the backing region. The VMA and region structs will be split if necessary. (6) sys_shmdt() only releases one attachment to a SYSV IPC shared memory segment instead of all the attachments at that addresss. Multiple shmat()'s return the same address under NOMMU-mode instead of different virtual addresses as under MMU-mode. (7) Core dumping for ELF-FDPIC requires fewer exceptions for NOMMU-mode. (8) /proc/maps is now the global list of mapped regions, and may list bits that aren't actually mapped anywhere. (9) /proc/meminfo gains a line (tagged "MmapCopy") that indicates the amount of RAM currently allocated by mmap to hold mappable regions that can't be mapped directly. These are copies of the backing device or file if not anonymous. These changes make NOMMU mode more similar to MMU mode. The downside is that NOMMU mode requires some extra memory to track things over NOMMU without this patch (VMAs are no longer shared, and there are now region structs).

mm: limit growth of 3% hardcoded other user reserve Add user_reserve_kbytes knob. Limit the growth of the memory reserved for other user processes to min(3% current process size, user_reserve_pages). Only about 8MB is necessary to enable recovery in the default mode, and only a few hundred MB are required even when overcommit is disabled. user_reserve_pages defaults to min(3% free pages, 128MB) I arrived at 128MB by taking the max VSZ of sshd, login, bash, and top ... then adding the RSS of each. This only affects OVERCOMMIT_NEVER mode. Background 1. user reserve __vm_enough_memory reserves a hardcoded 3% of the current process size for other applications when overcommit is disabled. This was done so that a user could recover if they launched a memory hogging process. Without the reserve, a user would easily run into a message such as: bash: fork: Cannot allocate memory 2. admin reserve Additionally, a hardcoded 3% of free memory is reserved for root in both overcommit 'guess' and 'never' modes. This was intended to prevent a scenario where root-cant-log-in and perform recovery operations. Note that this reserve shrinks, and doesn't guarantee a useful reserve. Motivation The two hardcoded memory reserves should be updated to account for current memory sizes. Also, the admin reserve would be more useful if it didn't shrink too much. When the current code was originally written, 1GB was considered "enterprise". Now the 3% reserve can grow to multiple GB on large memory systems, and it only needs to be a few hundred MB at most to enable a user or admin to recover a system with an unwanted memory hogging process. I've found that reducing these reserves is especially beneficial for a specific type of application load: * single application system * one or few processes (e.g. one per core) * allocating all available memory * not initializing every page immediately * long running I've run scientific clusters with this sort of load. A long running job sometimes failed many hours (weeks of CPU time) into a calculation. They weren't initializing all of their memory immediately, and they weren't using calloc, so I put systems into overcommit 'never' mode. These clusters run diskless and have no swap. However, with the current reserves, a user wishing to allocate as much memory as possible to one process may be prevented from using, for example, almost 2GB out of 32GB. The effect is less, but still significant when a user starts a job with one process per core. I have repeatedly seen a set of processes requesting the same amount of memory fail because one of them could not allocate the amount of memory a user would expect to be able to allocate. For example, Message Passing Interfce (MPI) processes, one per core. And it is similar for other parallel programming frameworks. Changing this reserve code will make the overcommit never mode more useful by allowing applications to allocate nearly all of the available memory. Also, the new admin_reserve_kbytes will be safer than the current behavior since the hardcoded 3% of available memory reserve can shrink to something useless in the case where applications have grabbed all available memory. Risks * "bash: fork: Cannot allocate memory" The downside of the first patch-- which creates a tunable user reserve that is only used in overcommit 'never' mode--is that an admin can set it so low that a user may not be able to kill their process, even if they already have a shell prompt. Of course, a user can get in the same predicament with the current 3% reserve--they just have to launch processes until 3% becomes negligible. * root-cant-log-in problem The second patch, adding the tunable rootuser_reserve_pages, allows the admin to shoot themselves in the foot by setting it too small. They can easily get the system into a state where root-can't-log-in. However, the new admin_reserve_kbytes will be safer than the current behavior since the hardcoded 3% of available memory reserve can shrink to something useless in the case where applications have grabbed all available memory. Alternatives * Memory cgroups provide a more flexible way to limit application memory. Not everyone wants to set up cgroups or deal with their overhead. * We could create a fourth overcommit mode which provides smaller reserves. The size of useful reserves may be drastically different depending on the whether the system is embedded or enterprise. * Force users to initialize all of their memory or use calloc. Some users don't want/expect the system to overcommit when they malloc. Overcommit 'never' mode is for this scenario, and it should work well. The new user and admin reserve tunables are simple to use, with low overhead compared to cgroups. The patches preserve current behavior where 3% of memory is less than 128MB, except that the admin reserve doesn't shrink to an unusable size under pressure. The code allows admins to tune for embedded and enterprise usage. FAQ * How is the root-cant-login problem addressed? What happens if admin_reserve_pages is set to 0? Root is free to shoot themselves in the foot by setting admin_reserve_kbytes too low. On x86_64, the minimum useful reserve is: 8MB for overcommit 'guess' 128MB for overcommit 'never' admin_reserve_pages defaults to min(3% free memory, 8MB) So, anyone switching to 'never' mode needs to adjust admin_reserve_pages. * How do you calculate a minimum useful reserve? A user or the admin needs enough memory to login and perform recovery operations, which includes, at a minimum: sshd or login + bash (or some other shell) + top (or ps, kill, etc.) For overcommit 'guess', we can sum resident set sizes (RSS) because we only need enough memory to handle what the recovery programs will typically use. On x86_64 this is about 8MB. For overcommit 'never', we can take the max of their virtual sizes (VSZ) and add the sum of their RSS. We use VSZ instead of RSS because mode forces us to ensure we can fulfill all of the requested memory allocations-- even if the programs only use a fraction of what they ask for. On x86_64 this is about 128MB. When swap is enabled, reserves are useful even when they are as small as 10MB, regardless of overcommit mode. When both swap and overcommit are disabled, then the admin should tune the reserves higher to be absolutley safe. Over 230MB each was safest in my testing. * What happens if user_reserve_pages is set to 0? Note, this only affects overcomitt 'never' mode. Then a user will be able to allocate all available memory minus admin_reserve_kbytes. However, they will easily see a message such as: "bash: fork: Cannot allocate memory" And they won't be able to recover/kill their application. The admin should be able to recover the system if admin_reserve_kbytes is set appropriately. * What's the difference between overcommit 'guess' and 'never'? "Guess" allows an allocation if there are enough free + reclaimable pages. It has a hardcoded 3% of free pages reserved for root. "Never" allows an allocation if there is enough swap + a configurable percentage (default is 50) of physical RAM. It has a hardcoded 3% of free pages reserved for root, like "Guess" mode. It also has a hardcoded 3% of the current process size reserved for additional applications. * Why is overcommit 'guess' not suitable even when an app eventually writes to every page? It takes free pages, file pages, available swap pages, reclaimable slab pages into consideration. In other words, these are all pages available, then why isn't overcommit suitable? Because it only looks at the present state of the system. It does not take into account the memory that other applications have malloced, but haven't initialized yet. It overcommits the system. Test Summary There was little change in behavior in the default overcommit 'guess' mode with swap enabled before and after the patch. This was expected. Systems run most predictably (i.e. no oom kills) in overcommit 'never' mode with swap enabled. This also allowed the most memory to be allocated to a user application. Overcommit 'guess' mode without swap is a bad idea. It is easy to crash the system. None of the other tested combinations crashed. This matches my experience on the Roadrunner supercomputer. Without the tunable user reserve, a system in overcommit 'never' mode and without swap does not allow the admin to recover, although the admin can. With the new tunable reserves, a system in overcommit 'never' mode and without swap can be configured to: 1. maximize user-allocatable memory, running close to the edge of recoverability 2. maximize recoverability, sacrificing allocatable memory to ensure that a user cannot take down a system Test Description Fedora 18 VM - 4 x86_64 cores, 5725MB RAM, 4GB Swap System is booted into multiuser console mode, with unnecessary services turned off.

mm: audit/fix non-modular users of module_init in core code Code that is obj-y (always built-in) or dependent on a bool Kconfig (built-in or absent) can never be modular. So using module_init as an alias for __initcall can be somewhat misleading. Fix these up now, so that we can relocate module_init from init.h into module.h in the future. If we don't do this, we'd have to add module.h to obviously non-modular code, and that would be a worse thing. The audit targets the following module_init users for change: mm/ksm.c bool KSM mm/mmap.c bool MMU mm/huge_memory.c bool TRANSPARENT_HUGEPAGE mm/mmu_notifier.c bool MMU_NOTIFIER Note that direct use of __initcall is discouraged, vs. one of the priority categorized subgroups. As __initcall gets mapped onto device_initcall, our use of subsys_initcall (which makes sense for these files) will thus change this registration from level 6-device to level 4-subsys (i.e. slightly earlier). However no observable impact of that difference has been observed during testing. One might think that core_initcall (l2) or postcore_initcall (l3) would be more appropriate for anything in mm/ but if we look at some actual init functions themselves, we see things like: mm/huge_memory.c --> hugepage_init --> hugepage_init_sysfs mm/mmap.c --> init_user_reserve --> sysctl_user_reserve_kbytes mm/ksm.c --> ksm_init --> sysfs_create_group and hence the choice of subsys_initcall (l4) seems reasonable, and at the same time minimizes the risk of changing the priority too drastically all at once. We can adjust further in the future. Also, several instances of missing ";" at EOL are fixed.

mm: audit/fix non-modular users of module_init in core code Code that is obj-y (always built-in) or dependent on a bool Kconfig (built-in or absent) can never be modular. So using module_init as an alias for __initcall can be somewhat misleading. Fix these up now, so that we can relocate module_init from init.h into module.h in the future. If we don't do this, we'd have to add module.h to obviously non-modular code, and that would be a worse thing. The audit targets the following module_init users for change: mm/ksm.c bool KSM mm/mmap.c bool MMU mm/huge_memory.c bool TRANSPARENT_HUGEPAGE mm/mmu_notifier.c bool MMU_NOTIFIER Note that direct use of __initcall is discouraged, vs. one of the priority categorized subgroups. As __initcall gets mapped onto device_initcall, our use of subsys_initcall (which makes sense for these files) will thus change this registration from level 6-device to level 4-subsys (i.e. slightly earlier). However no observable impact of that difference has been observed during testing. One might think that core_initcall (l2) or postcore_initcall (l3) would be more appropriate for anything in mm/ but if we look at some actual init functions themselves, we see things like: mm/huge_memory.c --> hugepage_init --> hugepage_init_sysfs mm/mmap.c --> init_user_reserve --> sysctl_user_reserve_kbytes mm/ksm.c --> ksm_init --> sysfs_create_group and hence the choice of subsys_initcall (l4) seems reasonable, and at the same time minimizes the risk of changing the priority too drastically all at once. We can adjust further in the future. Also, several instances of missing ";" at EOL are fixed.
