2022-04-01mm/munlock: update Documentation/vm/unevictable-lru.rstHugh Dickins1-261/+210
Update Documentation/vm/unevictable-lru.rst to reflect the changes made by the mm/munlock series: keeping an mlock_count instead of page_mlock() (formerly try_to_munlock()) and munlock_vma_pages_all() etc. Also make other little updates or cleanups wherever noticed. But, I apologize, this is already out of date, in that "folio" appears nowhere: 5.18 will be in a transitional state from "page" to "folio", and documenting its current mix of the two does not help to understand "the Unevictable LRU". Should be revisited when naming is more settled.

2022-03-24tools/vm/page_owner_sort.c: support for user-defined culling rulesJiajian Ye1-1/+28
When viewing page owner information, we may want to cull blocks of information with our own rules. So it is important to enhance culling function to provide the support for customizing culling rules. Therefore, following adjustments are made: 1. Add --cull option to support the culling of blocks of information with user-defined culling rules. ./page_owner_sort <input> <output> --cull=<rules> ./page_owner_sort <input> <output> --cull <rules> <rules> is a single argument in the form of a comma-separated list to specify individual culling rules, by the sequence of keys k1,k2, .... Mixed use of abbreviated and complete-form of keys is allowed. For reference, please see the document(Documentation/vm/page_owner.rst). Now, assuming two blocks in the input file are as follows: Page allocated via order 0, mask xxxx, pid 1, tgid 1 (task_name_demo) PFN xxxx prep_new_page+0xd0/0xf8 get_page_from_freelist+0x4a0/0x1290 __alloc_pages+0x168/0x340 alloc_pages+0xb0/0x158 Page allocated via order 0, mask xxxx, pid 32, tgid 32 (task_name_demo) PFN xxxx prep_new_page+0xd0/0xf8 get_page_from_freelist+0x4a0/0x1290 __alloc_pages+0x168/0x340 alloc_pages+0xb0/0x158 If we want to cull the blocks by stacktrace and task command name, we can use this command: ./page_owner_sort <input> <output> --cull=stacktrace,name The output would be like: 2 times, 2 pages, task_comm_name: task_name_demo prep_new_page+0xd0/0xf8 get_page_from_freelist+0x4a0/0x1290 __alloc_pages+0x168/0x340 alloc_pages+0xb0/0x158 As we can see, these two blocks are culled successfully, for they share the same pid and task command name. However, if we want to cull the blocks by pid, stacktrace and task command name, we can this command: ./page_owner_sort <input> <output> --cull=stacktrace,name,pid The output would be like: 1 times, 1 pages, PID 1, task_comm_name: task_name_demo prep_new_page+0xd0/0xf8 get_page_from_freelist+0x4a0/0x1290 __alloc_pages+0x168/0x340 alloc_pages+0xb0/0x158 1 times, 1 pages, PID 32, task_comm_name: task_name_demo prep_new_page+0xd0/0xf8 get_page_from_freelist+0x4a0/0x1290 __alloc_pages+0x168/0x340 alloc_pages+0xb0/0x158 As we can see, these two blocks are failed to cull, for their PIDs are different. 2. Add explanations of --cull options to the document.

2022-03-24tools/vm/page_owner_sort.c: support for selecting by PID, TGID or task command nameJiajian Ye1-0/+5
When viewing page owner information, we may also need to select the blocks by PID, TGID or task command name, which helps to get more accurate page allocation information as needed. Therefore, following adjustments are made: 1. Add three new options, including --pid, --tgid and --name, to support the selection of information blocks by a specific pid, tgid and task command name. In addtion, multiple options are allowed to be used at the same time. ./page_owner_sort [input] [output] --pid <PID> ./page_owner_sort [input] [output] --tgid <TGID> ./page_owner_sort [input] [output] --name <TASK_COMMAND_NAME> Assuming a scenario when a multi-threaded program, ./demo (PID = 5280), is running, and ./demo creates a child process (PID = 5281). $ps PID TTY TIME CMD 5215 pts/0 00:00:00 bash 5280 pts/0 00:00:00 ./demo 5281 pts/0 00:00:00 ./demo 5282 pts/0 00:00:00 ps It would be better to filter out the records with tgid=5280 and the task name "demo" when debugging the parent process, and the specific usage is ./page_owner_sort [input] [output] --tgid 5280 --name demo 2. Add explanations of three new options, including --pid, --tgid and --name, to the document.

Later, but still before be merged in the mainline, because Idle page tracking is fully under the control of sysadmins, we made the resolving of conflict as the responsibility of sysadmins. The document is not updated for the change, though. This commit updates the document for that.

2022-03-22Docs/vm/damon: call low level monitoring primitives the operationsSeongJae Park2-13/+13
Patch series "Docs/damon: Update documents for better consistency". Some of DAMON document are not properly updated for latest version. This patchset updates such parts. This patch (of 3): DAMON code calls the low level monitoring primitives implementations the monitoring operations. The documentation would have no problem at still calling those primitives implementation because there is no real difference in the concepts, but making it more consistent with the code would make it better. This commit therefore convert sentences in the doc specifically pointing the implementations of the primitives to call it monitoring operations.

2022-01-15mm: page table checkPasha Tatashin2-0/+57
Check user page table entries at the time they are added and removed. Allows to synchronously catch memory corruption issues related to double mapping. When a pte for an anonymous page is added into page table, we verify that this pte does not already point to a file backed page, and vice versa if this is a file backed page that is being added we verify that this page does not have an anonymous mapping We also enforce that read-only sharing for anonymous pages is allowed (i.e. cow after fork). All other sharing must be for file pages. Page table check allows to protect and debug cases where "struct page" metadata became corrupted for some reason. For example, when refcnt or mapcount become invalid.

2021-11-11mm/migrate.c: remove MIGRATE_PFN_LOCKEDAlistair Popple1-1/+1
MIGRATE_PFN_LOCKED is used to indicate to migrate_vma_prepare() that a source page was already locked during migrate_vma_collect(). If it wasn't then the a second attempt is made to lock the page. However if the first attempt failed it's unlikely a second attempt will succeed, and the retry adds complexity. So clean this up by removing the retry and MIGRATE_PFN_LOCKED flag. Destination pages are also meant to have the MIGRATE_PFN_LOCKED flag set, but nothing actually checks that.

2021-11-06tools/vm/page_owner_sort.c: count and sort by memZhenliang Wei1-1/+22
When viewing page owner information, we may be more concerned about the total memory rather than the times of stack appears. Therefore, the following adjustments are made: 1. Added the statistics on the total number of pages. 2. Added the optional parameter "-m" to configure the program to sort by memory (total pages). The general output of page_owner is as follows: Page allocated via order XXX, ... PFN XXX ... // Detailed stack Page allocated via order XXX, ... PFN XXX ... // Detailed stack The original page_owner_sort ignores PFN rows, puts the remaining rows in buf, counts the times of buf, and finally sorts them according to the times. General output: XXX times: Page allocated via order XXX, ... // Detailed stack Now, we use regexp to extract the page order value from the buf, and count the total pages for the buf. General output: XXX times, XXX pages: Page allocated via order XXX, ... // Detailed stack By default, it is still sorted by the times of buf; If you want to sort by the pages nums of buf, use the new -m parameter.

2021-07-01mm: device exclusive memory accessAlistair Popple1-0/+17
Some devices require exclusive write access to shared virtual memory (SVM) ranges to perform atomic operations on that memory. This requires CPU page tables to be updated to deny access whilst atomic operations are occurring. In order to do this introduce a new swap entry type (SWP_DEVICE_EXCLUSIVE). When a SVM range needs to be marked for exclusive access by a device all page table mappings for the particular range are replaced with device exclusive swap entries. This causes any CPU access to the page to result in a fault. Faults are resovled by replacing the faulting entry with the original mapping. This results in MMU notifiers being called which a driver uses to update access permissions such as revoking atomic access. After notifiers have been called the device will no longer have exclusive access to the region. Walking of the page tables to find the target pages is handled by get_user_pages() rather than a direct page table walk. A direct page table walk similar to what migrate_vma_collect()/unmap() does could also have been utilised. However this resulted in more code similar in functionality to what get_user_pages() provides as page faulting is required to make the PTEs present and to break COW.

However it is exclusively used by try_to_munlock() which specifies no other flags. Therefore rather than overload try_to_unmap_one() with unrelated behaviour split this out into it's own function and remove the flag.

Pull documentation updates from Jonathan Corbet: "This was a reasonably active cycle for documentation; this includes: - Some kernel-doc cleanups. That script is still regex onslaught from hell, but it has gotten a little better. - Improvements to the checkpatch docs, which are also used by the tool itself. - A major update to the pathname lookup documentation. - Elimination of :doc: markup, since our automarkup magic can create references from filenames without all the extra noise. - The flurry of Chinese translation activity continues.

2021-06-17docs: vm: zswap.rst: replace some charactersMauro Carvalho Chehab1-2/+2
The conversion tools used during DocBook/LaTeX/html/Markdown->ReST conversion and some cut-and-pasted text contain some characters that aren't easily reachable on standard keyboards and/or could cause troubles when parsed by the documentation build system. Replace the occurences of the following characters: - U+00a0 (' '): NO-BREAK SPACE as it can cause lines being truncated on PDF output Signed-off-by: Mauro Carvalho Chehab <mchehab+huawei@kernel.org> Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/9a93b72f99f8f3328269076ceff50248ac9c5af5.1623826294.git.mchehab+huawei@kernel.org Signed-off-by: Jonathan Corbet <corbet@lwn.net>
2021-06-16mm/slub: clarify verification reportingKees Cook1-5/+5
Patch series "Actually fix freelist pointer vs redzoning", v4. This fixes redzoning vs the freelist pointer (both for middle-position and very small caches). Both are "theoretical" fixes, in that I see no evidence of such small-sized caches actually be used in the kernel, but that's no reason to let the bugs continue to exist, especially since people doing local development keep tripping over it. :) This patch (of 3): Instead of repeating "Redzone" and "Poison", clarify which sides of those zones got tripped. Additionally fix column alignment in the trailer. Before: BUG test (Tainted: G B ): Redzone overwritten ... Redzone (____ptrval____): bb bb bb bb bb bb bb bb ........ Object (____ptrval____): f6 f4 a5 40 1d e8 ...@.. Redzone (____ptrval____): 1a aa .. Padding (____ptrval____): 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 ........

2021-04-30mm/page_owner: record the timestamp of all pages during freeGeorgi Djakov1-1/+1
Collect the time when each allocation is freed, to help with memory analysis with kdump/ramdump. Add the timestamp also in the page_owner debugfs file and print it in dump_page(). Having another timestamp when we free the page helps for debugging page migration issues. For example both alloc and free timestamps being the same can gave hints that there is an issue with migrating memory, as opposed to a page just being dropped during migration.
