<id>urn:sha1:7d8faaf155454f8798ec56404faca29a82689c77</id>
<content type='text'>
This idea was introduced by David Rientjes[1].

Introduce a new madvise mode, MADV_COLLAPSE, that allows users to request
a synchronous collapse of memory at their own expense.

The benefits of this approach are:

* CPU is charged to the process that wants to spend the cycles for the
  THP
* Avoid unpredictable timing of khugepaged collapse

Semantics

This call is independent of the system-wide THP sysfs settings, but will
fail for memory marked VM_NOHUGEPAGE.  If the ranges provided span
multiple VMAs, the semantics of the collapse over each VMA is independent
from the others.  This implies a hugepage cannot cross a VMA boundary.  If
collapse of a given hugepage-aligned/sized region fails, the operation may
continue to attempt collapsing the remainder of memory specified.

The memory ranges provided must be page-aligned, but are not required to
be hugepage-aligned.  If the memory ranges are not hugepage-aligned, the
start/end of the range will be clamped to the first/last hugepage-aligned
address covered by said range.  The memory ranges must span at least one
hugepage-sized region.

All non-resident pages covered by the range will first be
swapped/faulted-in, before being internally copied onto a freshly
allocated hugepage.  Unmapped pages will have their data directly
initialized to 0 in the new hugepage.  However, for every eligible
hugepage aligned/sized region to-be collapsed, at least one page must
currently be backed by memory (a PMD covering the address range must
already exist).

Allocation for the new hugepage may enter direct reclaim and/or
compaction, regardless of VMA flags.  When the system has multiple NUMA
nodes, the hugepage will be allocated from the node providing the most
native pages.  This operation operates on the current state of the
specified process and makes no persistent changes or guarantees on how
pages will be mapped, constructed, or faulted in the future

Return Value

If all hugepage-sized/aligned regions covered by the provided range were
either successfully collapsed, or were already PMD-mapped THPs, this
operation will be deemed successful.  On success, process_madvise(2)
returns the number of bytes advised, and madvise(2) returns 0.  Else, -1
is returned and errno is set to indicate the error for the most-recently
attempted hugepage collapse.  Note that many failures might have occurred,
since the operation may continue to collapse in the event a single
hugepage-sized/aligned region fails.

	ENOMEM	Memory allocation failed or VMA not found
	EBUSY	Memcg charging failed
	EAGAIN	Required resource temporarily unavailable.  Try again
		might succeed.
	EINVAL	Other error: No PMD found, subpage doesn't have Present
		bit set, "Special" page no backed by struct page, VMA
		incorrectly sized, address not page-aligned, ...

Most notable here is ENOMEM and EBUSY (new to madvise) which are intended
to provide the caller with actionable feedback so they may take an
appropriate fallback measure.

Use Cases

An immediate user of this new functionality are malloc() implementations
that manage memory in hugepage-sized chunks, but sometimes subrelease
memory back to the system in native-sized chunks via MADV_DONTNEED;
zapping the pmd.  Later, when the memory is hot, the implementation could
madvise(MADV_COLLAPSE) to re-back the memory by THPs to regain hugepage
coverage and dTLB performance.  TCMalloc is such an implementation that
could benefit from this[2].

Only privately-mapped anon memory is supported for now, but additional
support for file, shmem, and HugeTLB high-granularity mappings[2] is
expected.  File and tmpfs/shmem support would permit:

* Backing executable text by THPs.  Current support provided by
  CONFIG_READ_ONLY_THP_FOR_FS may take a long time on a large system which
  might impair services from serving at their full rated load after
  (re)starting.  Tricks like mremap(2)'ing text onto anonymous memory to
  immediately realize iTLB performance prevents page sharing and demand
  paging, both of which increase steady state memory footprint.  With
  MADV_COLLAPSE, we get the best of both worlds: Peak upfront performance
  and lower RAM footprints.
* Backing guest memory by hugapages after the memory contents have been
  migrated in native-page-sized chunks to a new host, in a
  userfaultfd-based live-migration stack.

Pull tty and serial driver updates from Greg KH:
 "Here is the big set of tty and serial driver updates for 5.19-rc1.

  Lots of tiny cleanups in here, the major stuff is:

   - termbit cleanups and unification by Ilpo. A much needed change that
     goes a long way to making things simpler for all of the different
     arches

   - tty documentation cleanups and movements to their own place in the
     documentation tree

   - old tty driver cleanups and fixes from Jiri to bring some existing
     drivers into the modern world

   - RS485 cleanups and unifications to make it easier for individual
     drivers to support this mode instead of having to duplicate logic
     in each driver

   - Lots of 8250 driver updates and additions

   - new device id additions

   - n_gsm continued fixes and cleanups

   - other minor serial driver updates and cleanups

  All of these have been in linux-next for weeks with no reported issues"

<title>termbits: Convert octal defines to hex</title>

<id>urn:sha1:6808b7f5c8255d07d79cb8eac40047f59e4154ad</id>
<content type='text'>
Many archs have termbits.h as octal numbers. It makes hard for humans
to parse the magnitude of large numbers correctly and to compare with
hex ones of the same define.

Convert octal values to hex.

First step is an automated conversion with:

for i in $(git ls-files | grep 'termbits\.h'); do
	awk --non-decimal-data '/^#define\s+[A-Z][A-Z0-9]*\s+0[0-9]/ {
		l=int(((length($3) - 1) * 3 + 3) / 4);
		repl = sprintf("0x%0" l "x", $3);
		print gensub(/[^[:blank:]]+/, repl, 3);
		next} {print}' $i &gt; $i~;
	mv $i~ $i;
done

On top of that, some manual processing on alignment and number of zeros.
In addition, small tweaks to formatting of a few comments on the same
lines.

<title>mm: madvise: MADV_DONTNEED_LOCKED</title>

<id>urn:sha1:9457056ac426e5ed0671356509c8dcce69f8dee0</id>
<content type='text'>
MADV_DONTNEED historically rejects mlocked ranges, but with MLOCK_ONFAULT
and MCL_ONFAULT allowing to mlock without populating, there are valid use
cases for depopulating locked ranges as well.

Users mlock memory to protect secrets.  There are allocators for secure
buffers that want in-use memory generally mlocked, but cleared and
invalidated memory to give up the physical pages.  This could be done with
explicit munlock -&gt; mlock calls on free -&gt; alloc of course, but that adds
two unnecessary syscalls, heavy mmap_sem write locks, vma splits and
re-merges - only to get rid of the backing pages.

Users also mlockall(MCL_ONFAULT) to suppress sustained paging, but are
okay with on-demand initial population.  It seems valid to selectively
free some memory during the lifetime of such a process, without having to
mess with its overall policy.

Why add a separate flag? Isn't this a pretty niche usecase?

- MADV_DONTNEED has been bailing on locked vmas forever. It's at least
  conceivable that someone, somewhere is relying on mlock to protect
  data from perhaps broader invalidation calls. Changing this behavior
  now could lead to quiet data corruption.

- It also clarifies expectations around MADV_FREE and maybe
  MADV_REMOVE. It avoids the situation where one quietly behaves
  different than the others. MADV_FREE_LOCKED can be added later.

- The combination of mlock() and madvise() in the first place is
  probably niche. But where it happens, I'd say that dropping pages
  from a locked region once they don't contain secrets or won't page
  anymore is much saner than relying on mlock to protect memory from
  speculative or errant invalidation calls. It's just that we can't
  change the default behavior because of the two previous points.

Given that, an explicit new flag seems to make the most sense.

Pull networking updates from Jakub Kicinski:
 "The sprinkling of SPI drivers is because we added a new one and Mark
  sent us a SPI driver interface conversion pull request.

  Core
  ----

   - Introduce XDP multi-buffer support, allowing the use of XDP with
     jumbo frame MTUs and combination with Rx coalescing offloads (LRO).

   - Speed up netns dismantling (5x) and lower the memory cost a little.
     Remove unnecessary per-netns sockets. Scope some lists to a netns.
     Cut down RCU syncing. Use batch methods. Allow netdev registration
     to complete out of order.

   - Support distinguishing timestamp types (ingress vs egress) and
     maintaining them across packet scrubbing points (e.g. redirect).

   - Continue the work of annotating packet drop reasons throughout the
     stack.

   - Switch netdev error counters from an atomic to dynamically
     allocated per-CPU counters.

   - Rework a few preempt_disable(), local_irq_save() and busy waiting
     sections problematic on PREEMPT_RT.

   - Extend the ref_tracker to allow catching use-after-free bugs.

  BPF
  ---

   - Introduce "packing allocator" for BPF JIT images. JITed code is
     marked read only, and used to be allocated at page granularity.
     Custom allocator allows for more efficient memory use, lower iTLB
     pressure and prevents identity mapping huge pages from getting
     split.

   - Make use of BTF type annotations (e.g. __user, __percpu) to enforce
     the correct probe read access method, add appropriate helpers.

   - Convert the BPF preload to use light skeleton and drop the
     user-mode-driver dependency.

   - Allow XDP BPF_PROG_RUN test infra to send real packets, enabling
     its use as a packet generator.

   - Allow local storage memory to be allocated with GFP_KERNEL if
     called from a hook allowed to sleep.

   - Introduce fprobe (multi kprobe) to speed up mass attachment (arch
     bits to come later).

   - Add unstable conntrack lookup helpers for BPF by using the BPF
     kfunc infra.

   - Allow cgroup BPF progs to return custom errors to user space.

   - Add support for AF_UNIX iterator batching.

   - Allow iterator programs to use sleepable helpers.

   - Support JIT of add, and, or, xor and xchg atomic ops on arm64.

   - Add BTFGen support to bpftool which allows to use CO-RE in kernels
     without BTF info.

   - Large number of libbpf API improvements, cleanups and deprecations.

  Protocols
  ---------

   - Micro-optimize UDPv6 Tx, gaining up to 5% in test on dummy netdev.

   - Adjust TSO packet sizes based on min_rtt, allowing very low latency
     links (data centers) to always send full-sized TSO super-frames.

   - Make IPv6 flow label changes (AKA hash rethink) more configurable,
     via sysctl and setsockopt. Distinguish between server and client
     behavior.

   - VxLAN support to "collect metadata" devices to terminate only
     configured VNIs. This is similar to VLAN filtering in the bridge.

   - Support inserting IPv6 IOAM information to a fraction of frames.

   - Add protocol attribute to IP addresses to allow identifying where
     given address comes from (kernel-generated, DHCP etc.)

   - Support setting socket and IPv6 options via cmsg on ping6 sockets.

   - Reject mis-use of ECN bits in IP headers as part of DSCP/TOS.
     Define dscp_t and stop taking ECN bits into account in fib-rules.

   - Add support for locked bridge ports (for 802.1X).

   - tun: support NAPI for packets received from batched XDP buffs,
     doubling the performance in some scenarios.

   - IPv6 extension header handling in Open vSwitch.

   - Support IPv6 control message load balancing in bonding, prevent
     neighbor solicitation and advertisement from using the wrong port.
     Support NS/NA monitor selection similar to existing ARP monitor.

   - SMC
      - improve performance with TCP_CORK and sendfile()
      - support auto-corking
      - support TCP_NODELAY

   - MCTP (Management Component Transport Protocol)
      - add user space tag control interface
      - I2C binding driver (as specified by DMTF DSP0237)

   - Multi-BSSID beacon handling in AP mode for WiFi.

   - Bluetooth:
      - handle MSFT Monitor Device Event
      - add MGMT Adv Monitor Device Found/Lost events

   - Multi-Path TCP:
      - add support for the SO_SNDTIMEO socket option
      - lots of selftest cleanups and improvements

   - Increase the max PDU size in CAN ISOTP to 64 kB.

  Driver API
  ----------

   - Add HW counters for SW netdevs, a mechanism for devices which
     offload packet forwarding to report packet statistics back to
     software interfaces such as tunnels.

   - Select the default NIC queue count as a fraction of number of
     physical CPU cores, instead of hard-coding to 8.

   - Expose devlink instance locks to drivers. Allow device layer of
     drivers to use that lock directly instead of creating their own
     which always runs into ordering issues in devlink callbacks.

   - Add header/data split indication to guide user space enabling of
     TCP zero-copy Rx.

   - Allow configuring completion queue event size.

   - Refactor page_pool to enable fragmenting after allocation.

   - Add allocation and page reuse statistics to page_pool.

   - Improve Multiple Spanning Trees support in the bridge to allow
     reuse of topologies across VLANs, saving HW resources in switches.

   - DSA (Distributed Switch Architecture):
      - replay and offload of host VLAN entries
      - offload of static and local FDB entries on LAG interfaces
      - FDB isolation and unicast filtering

<title>signal.h: add linux/signal.h and asm/signal.h to UAPI compile-test coverage</title>

<link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='https://git.zx2c4.com/linux-dev/commit/?id=72113d0a7d90d950c7c9a87ab905bffb6bc5752d'/>
<id>urn:sha1:72113d0a7d90d950c7c9a87ab905bffb6bc5752d</id>
<content type='text'>
linux/signal.h and asm/signal.h are currently excluded from the UAPI
compile-test because of the errors like follows:

    HDRTEST usr/include/asm/signal.h
  In file included from &lt;command-line&gt;:
  ./usr/include/asm/signal.h:103:9: error: unknown type name ‘size_t’
    103 |         size_t ss_size;
        |         ^~~~~~

The errors can be fixed by replacing size_t with __kernel_size_t.

Then, remove the no-header-test entries from user/include/Makefile.
