2017-11-15kmemcheck: remove annotationsLevin, Alexander (Sasha Levin)1-8/+0
Patch series "kmemcheck: kill kmemcheck", v2. As discussed at LSF/MM, kill kmemcheck. KASan is a replacement that is able to work without the limitation of kmemcheck (single CPU, slow). KASan is already upstream. We are also not aware of any users of kmemcheck (or users who don't consider KASan as a suitable replacement). The only objection was that since KASAN wasn't supported by all GCC versions provided by distros at that time we should hold off for 2 years, and try again. Now that 2 years have passed, and all distros provide gcc that supports KASAN, kill kmemcheck again for the very same reasons. This patch (of 4): Remove kmemcheck annotations, and calls to kmemcheck from the kernel.

2017-11-15mm: consolidate page table accountingKirill A. Shutemov1-7/+1
Currently, we account page tables separately for each page table level, but that's redundant -- we only make use of total memory allocated to page tables for oom_badness calculation. We also provide the information to userspace, but it has dubious value there too. This patch switches page table accounting to single counter. mm->pgtables_bytes is now used to account all page table levels. We use bytes, because page table size for different levels of page table tree may be different. The change has user-visible effect: we don't have VmPMD and VmPUD reported in /proc/[pid]/status. Not sure if anybody uses them. (As alternative, we can always report 0 kB for them.) OOM-killer report is also slightly changed: we now report pgtables_bytes instead of nr_ptes, nr_pmd, nr_puds. Apart from reducing number of counters per-mm, the benefit is that we now calculate oom_badness() more correctly for machines which have different size of page tables depending on level or where page tables are less than a page in size. The only downside can be debuggability because we do not know which page table level could leak. But I do not remember many bugs that would be caught by separate counters so I wouldn't lose sleep over this.

2017-11-15mm: introduce wrappers to access mm->nr_ptesKirill A. Shutemov1-0/+2
Let's add wrappers for ->nr_ptes with the same interface as for nr_pmd and nr_pud. The patch also makes nr_ptes accounting dependent onto CONFIG_MMU. Page table accounting doesn't make sense if you don't have page tables. It's preparation for consolidation of page-table counters in mm_struct.

2017-11-15mm: account pud page tablesKirill A. Shutemov1-0/+3
On a machine with 5-level paging support a process can allocate significant amount of memory and stay unnoticed by oom-killer and memory cgroup. The trick is to allocate a lot of PUD page tables. We don't account PUD page tables, only PMD and PTE. We already addressed the same issue for PMD page tables, see commit dc6c9a35b66b ("mm: account pmd page tables to the process"). Introduction of 5-level paging brings the same issue for PUD page tables. The patch expands accounting to PUD level.

2017-11-02License cleanup: add SPDX GPL-2.0 license identifier to files with no licenseGreg Kroah-Hartman1-0/+1
Many source files in the tree are missing licensing information, which makes it harder for compliance tools to determine the correct license. By default all files without license information are under the default license of the kernel, which is GPL version 2. Update the files which contain no license information with the 'GPL-2.0' SPDX license identifier. The SPDX identifier is a legally binding shorthand, which can be used instead of the full boiler plate text. This patch is based on work done by Thomas Gleixner and Kate Stewart and Philippe Ombredanne. How this work was done: Patches were generated and checked against linux-4.14-rc6 for a subset of the use cases: - file had no licensing information it it. - file was a */uapi/* one with no licensing information in it, - file was a */uapi/* one with existing licensing information, Further patches will be generated in subsequent months to fix up cases where non-standard license headers were used, and references to license had to be inferred by heuristics based on keywords. The analysis to determine which SPDX License Identifier to be applied to a file was done in a spreadsheet of side by side results from of the output of two independent scanners (ScanCode & Windriver) producing SPDX tag:value files created by Philippe Ombredanne. Philippe prepared the base worksheet, and did an initial spot review of a few 1000 files. The 4.13 kernel was the starting point of the analysis with 60,537 files assessed. Kate Stewart did a file by file comparison of the scanner results in the spreadsheet to determine which SPDX license identifier(s) to be applied to the file. She confirmed any determination that was not immediately clear with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation. Criteria used to select files for SPDX license identifier tagging was: - Files considered eligible had to be source code files. - Make and config files were included as candidates if they contained >5 lines of source - File already had some variant of a license header in it (even if <5 lines). All documentation files were explicitly excluded. The following heuristics were used to determine which SPDX license identifiers to apply. - when both scanners couldn't find any license traces, file was considered to have no license information in it, and the top level COPYING file license applied. For non */uapi/* files that summary was: SPDX license identifier # files ---------------------------------------------------|------- GPL-2.0 11139 and resulted in the first patch in this series. If that file was a */uapi/* path one, it was "GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note" otherwise it was "GPL-2.0". Results of that was: SPDX license identifier # files ---------------------------------------------------|------- GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note 930 and resulted in the second patch in this series. - if a file had some form of licensing information in it, and was one of the */uapi/* ones, it was denoted with the Linux-syscall-note if any GPL family license was found in the file or had no licensing in it (per prior point). Results summary: SPDX license identifier # files ---------------------------------------------------|------ GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note 270 GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 169 ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-2-Clause) 21 ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause) 17 LGPL-2.1+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 15 GPL-1.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 14 ((GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause) 5 LGPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 4 LGPL-2.1 WITH Linux-syscall-note 3 ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR MIT) 3 ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) AND MIT) 1 and that resulted in the third patch in this series. - when the two scanners agreed on the detected license(s), that became the concluded license(s). - when there was disagreement between the two scanners (one detected a license but the other didn't, or they both detected different licenses) a manual inspection of the file occurred. - In most cases a manual inspection of the information in the file resulted in a clear resolution of the license that should apply (and which scanner probably needed to revisit its heuristics). - When it was not immediately clear, the license identifier was confirmed with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation. - If there was any question as to the appropriate license identifier, the file was flagged for further research and to be revisited later in time. In total, over 70 hours of logged manual review was done on the spreadsheet to determine the SPDX license identifiers to apply to the source files by Kate, Philippe, Thomas and, in some cases, confirmation by lawyers working with the Linux Foundation. Kate also obtained a third independent scan of the 4.13 code base from FOSSology, and compared selected files where the other two scanners disagreed against that SPDX file, to see if there was new insights. The Windriver scanner is based on an older version of FOSSology in part, so they are related. Thomas did random spot checks in about 500 files from the spreadsheets for the uapi headers and agreed with SPDX license identifier in the files he inspected. For the non-uapi files Thomas did random spot checks in about 15000 files. In initial set of patches against 4.14-rc6, 3 files were found to have copy/paste license identifier errors, and have been fixed to reflect the correct identifier. Additionally Philippe spent 10 hours this week doing a detailed manual inspection and review of the 12,461 patched files from the initial patch version early this week with: - a full scancode scan run, collecting the matched texts, detected license ids and scores - reviewing anything where there was a license detected (about 500+ files) to ensure that the applied SPDX license was correct - reviewing anything where there was no detection but the patch license was not GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note to ensure that the applied SPDX license was correct This produced a worksheet with 20 files needing minor correction. This worksheet was then exported into 3 different .csv files for the different types of files to be modified. These .csv files were then reviewed by Greg. Thomas wrote a script to parse the csv files and add the proper SPDX tag to the file, in the format that the file expected. This script was further refined by Greg based on the output to detect more types of files automatically and to distinguish between header and source .c files (which need different comment types.) Finally Greg ran the script using the .csv files to generate the patches.

2017-10-19membarrier: Provide register expedited private commandMathieu Desnoyers1-0/+3
This introduces a "register private expedited" membarrier command which allows eventual removal of important memory barrier constraints on the scheduler fast-paths. It changes how the "private expedited" membarrier command (new to 4.14) is used from user-space. This new command allows processes to register their intent to use the private expedited command. This affects how the expedited private command introduced in 4.14-rc is meant to be used, and should be merged before 4.14 final. Processes are now required to register before using MEMBARRIER_CMD_PRIVATE_EXPEDITED, otherwise that command returns EPERM. This fixes a problem that arose when designing requested extensions to sys_membarrier() to allow JITs to efficiently flush old code from instruction caches. Several potential algorithms are much less painful if the user register intent to use this functionality early on, for example, before the process spawns the second thread. Registering at this time removes the need to interrupt each and every thread in that process at the first expedited sys_membarrier() system call.

2017-09-06mm, swap: VMA based swap readaheadHuang Ying1-0/+1
The swap readahead is an important mechanism to reduce the swap in latency. Although pure sequential memory access pattern isn't very popular for anonymous memory, the space locality is still considered valid. In the original swap readahead implementation, the consecutive blocks in swap device are readahead based on the global space locality estimation. But the consecutive blocks in swap device just reflect the order of page reclaiming, don't necessarily reflect the access pattern in virtual memory. And the different tasks in the system may have different access patterns, which makes the global space locality estimation incorrect. In this patch, when page fault occurs, the virtual pages near the fault address will be readahead instead of the swap slots near the fault swap slot in swap device. This avoid to readahead the unrelated swap slots. At the same time, the swap readahead is changed to work on per-VMA from globally. So that the different access patterns of the different VMAs could be distinguished, and the different readahead policy could be applied accordingly. The original core readahead detection and scaling algorithm is reused, because it is an effect algorithm to detect the space locality. The test and result is as follow, Common test condition ===================== Test Machine: Xeon E5 v3 (2 sockets, 72 threads, 32G RAM) Swap device: NVMe disk Micro-benchmark with combined access pattern ============================================ vm-scalability, sequential swap test case, 4 processes to eat 50G virtual memory space, repeat the sequential memory writing until 300 seconds. The first round writing will trigger swap out, the following rounds will trigger sequential swap in and out. At the same time, run vm-scalability random swap test case in background, 8 processes to eat 30G virtual memory space, repeat the random memory write until 300 seconds. This will trigger random swap-in in the background. This is a combined workload with sequential and random memory accessing at the same time. The result (for sequential workload) is as follow, Base Optimized ---- --------- throughput 345413 KB/s 414029 KB/s (+19.9%) latency.average 97.14 us 61.06 us (-37.1%) latency.50th 2 us 1 us latency.60th 2 us 1 us latency.70th 98 us 2 us latency.80th 160 us 2 us latency.90th 260 us 217 us latency.95th 346 us 369 us latency.99th 1.34 ms 1.09 ms ra_hit% 52.69% 99.98% The original swap readahead algorithm is confused by the background random access workload, so readahead hit rate is lower. The VMA-base readahead algorithm works much better. Linpack ======= The test memory size is bigger than RAM to trigger swapping. Base Optimized ---- --------- elapsed_time 393.49 s 329.88 s (-16.2%) ra_hit% 86.21% 98.82% The score of base and optimized kernel hasn't visible changes. But the elapsed time reduced and readahead hit rate improved, so the optimized kernel runs better for startup and tear down stages. And the absolute value of readahead hit rate is high, shows that the space locality is still valid in some practical workloads.

2017-08-10mm: fix MADV_[FREE|DONTNEED] TLB flush miss problemMinchan Kim1-0/+8
Nadav reported parallel MADV_DONTNEED on same range has a stale TLB problem and Mel fixed it[1] and found same problem on MADV_FREE[2]. Quote from Mel Gorman: "The race in question is CPU 0 running madv_free and updating some PTEs while CPU 1 is also running madv_free and looking at the same PTEs. CPU 1 may have writable TLB entries for a page but fail the pte_dirty check (because CPU 0 has updated it already) and potentially fail to flush. Hence, when madv_free on CPU 1 returns, there are still potentially writable TLB entries and the underlying PTE is still present so that a subsequent write does not necessarily propagate the dirty bit to the underlying PTE any more. Reclaim at some unknown time at the future may then see that the PTE is still clean and discard the page even though a write has happened in the meantime. I think this is possible but I could have missed some protection in madv_free that prevents it happening." This patch aims for solving both problems all at once and is ready for other problem with KSM, MADV_FREE and soft-dirty story[3]. TLB batch API(tlb_[gather|finish]_mmu] uses [inc|dec]_tlb_flush_pending and mmu_tlb_flush_pending so that when tlb_finish_mmu is called, we can catch there are parallel threads going on. In that case, forcefully, flush TLB to prevent for user to access memory via stale TLB entry although it fail to gather page table entry. I confirmed this patch works with [4] test program Nadav gave so this patch supersedes "mm: Always flush VMA ranges affected by zap_page_range v2" in current mmotm. NOTE: This patch modifies arch-specific TLB gathering interface(x86, ia64, s390, sh, um). It seems most of architecture are straightforward but s390 need to be careful because tlb_flush_mmu works only if mm->context.flush_mm is set to non-zero which happens only a pte entry really is cleared by ptep_get_and_clear and friends. However, this problem never changes the pte entries but need to flush to prevent memory access from stale tlb.

2017-08-10mm: migrate: fix barriers around tlb_flush_pendingNadav Amit1-4/+10
Reading tlb_flush_pending while the page-table lock is taken does not require a barrier, since the lock/unlock already acts as a barrier. Removing the barrier in mm_tlb_flush_pending() to address this issue. However, migrate_misplaced_transhuge_page() calls mm_tlb_flush_pending() while the page-table lock is already released, which may present a problem on architectures with weak memory model (PPC). To deal with this case, a new parameter is added to mm_tlb_flush_pending() to indicate if it is read without the page-table lock taken, and calling smp_mb__after_unlock_lock() in this case.

2017-08-10mm: migrate: prevent racy access to tlb_flush_pendingNadav Amit1-9/+22
Patch series "fixes of TLB batching races", v6. It turns out that Linux TLB batching mechanism suffers from various races. Races that are caused due to batching during reclamation were recently handled by Mel and this patch-set deals with others. The more fundamental issue is that concurrent updates of the page-tables allow for TLB flushes to be batched on one core, while another core changes the page-tables. This other core may assume a PTE change does not require a flush based on the updated PTE value, while it is unaware that TLB flushes are still pending. This behavior affects KSM (which may result in memory corruption) and MADV_FREE and MADV_DONTNEED (which may result in incorrect behavior). A proof-of-concept can easily produce the wrong behavior of MADV_DONTNEED. Memory corruption in KSM is harder to produce in practice, but was observed by hacking the kernel and adding a delay before flushing and replacing the KSM page. Finally, there is also one memory barrier missing, which may affect architectures with weak memory model. This patch (of 7): Setting and clearing mm->tlb_flush_pending can be performed by multiple threads, since mmap_sem may only be acquired for read in task_numa_work(). If this happens, tlb_flush_pending might be cleared while one of the threads still changes PTEs and batches TLB flushes. This can lead to the same race between migration and change_protection_range() that led to the introduction of tlb_flush_pending. The result of this race was data corruption, which means that this patch also addresses a theoretically possible data corruption. An actual data corruption was not observed, yet the race was was confirmed by adding assertion to check tlb_flush_pending is not set by two threads, adding artificial latency in change_protection_range() and using sysctl to reduce kernel.numa_balancing_scan_delay_ms.

2017-08-10mm, locking: Rework {set,clear,mm}_tlb_flush_pending()Peter Zijlstra1-6/+27
Commit: af2c1401e6f9 ("mm: numa: guarantee that tlb_flush_pending updates are visible before page table updates") added smp_mb__before_spinlock() to set_tlb_flush_pending(). I think we can solve the same problem without this barrier. If instead we mandate that mm_tlb_flush_pending() is used while holding the PTL we're guaranteed to observe prior set_tlb_flush_pending() instances. For this to work we need to rework migrate_misplaced_transhuge_page() a little and move the test up into do_huge_pmd_numa_page(). NOTE: this relies on flush_tlb_range() to guarantee: (1) it ensures that prior page table updates are visible to the page table walker and (2) it ensures that subsequent memory accesses are only made visible after the invalidation has completed This is required for architectures that implement TRANSPARENT_HUGEPAGE (arc, arm, arm64, mips, powerpc, s390, sparc, x86) or otherwise use mm_tlb_flush_pending() in their page-table operations (arm, arm64, x86). This appears true for: - arm (DSB ISB before and after), - arm64 (DSB ISHST before, and DSB ISH after), - powerpc (PTESYNC before and after), - s390 and x86 TLB invalidate are serializing instructions But I failed to understand the situation for: - arc, mips, sparc Now SPARC64 is a wee bit special in that flush_tlb_range() is a no-op and it flushes the TLBs using arch_{enter,leave}_lazy_mmu_mode() inside the PTL. It still needs to guarantee the PTL unlock happens _after_ the invalidate completes. Vineet, Ralf and Dave could you guys please have a look?

2017-08-02mm, mprotect: flush TLB if potentially racing with a parallel reclaim leaving stale TLB entriesMel Gorman1-0/+4
Nadav Amit identified a theoritical race between page reclaim and mprotect due to TLB flushes being batched outside of the PTL being held. He described the race as follows: CPU0 CPU1 ---- ---- user accesses memory using RW PTE [PTE now cached in TLB] try_to_unmap_one() ==> ptep_get_and_clear() ==> set_tlb_ubc_flush_pending() mprotect(addr, PROT_READ) ==> change_pte_range() ==> [ PTE non-present - no flush ] user writes using cached RW PTE ... try_to_unmap_flush() The same type of race exists for reads when protecting for PROT_NONE and also exists for operations that can leave an old TLB entry behind such as munmap, mremap and madvise. For some operations like mprotect, it's not necessarily a data integrity issue but it is a correctness issue as there is a window where an mprotect that limits access still allows access. For munmap, it's potentially a data integrity issue although the race is massive as an munmap, mmap and return to userspace must all complete between the window when reclaim drops the PTL and flushes the TLB. However, it's theoritically possible so handle this issue by flushing the mm if reclaim is potentially currently batching TLB flushes. Other instances where a flush is required for a present pte should be ok as either the page lock is held preventing parallel reclaim or a page reference count is elevated preventing a parallel free leading to corruption. In the case of page_mkclean there isn't an obvious path that userspace could take advantage of without using the operations that are guarded by this patch. Other users such as gup as a race with reclaim looks just at PTEs. huge page variants should be ok as they don't race with reclaim. mincore only looks at PTEs. userfault also should be ok as if a parallel reclaim takes place, it will either fault the page back in or read some of the data before the flush occurs triggering a fault. Note that a variant of this patch was acked by Andy Lutomirski but this was for the x86 parts on top of his PCID work which didn't make the 4.13 merge window as expected. His ack is dropped from this version and there will be a follow-on patch on top of PCID that will include his ack.

2017-06-30randstruct: Mark various structs for randomizationKees Cook1-2/+2
This marks many critical kernel structures for randomization. These are structures that have been targeted in the past in security exploits, or contain functions pointers, pointers to function pointer tables, lists, workqueues, ref-counters, credentials, permissions, or are otherwise sensitive. This initial list was extracted from Brad Spengler/PaX Team's code in the last public patch of grsecurity/PaX based on my understanding of the code. Changes or omissions from the original code are mine and don't reflect the original grsecurity/PaX code. Left out of this list is task_struct, which requires special handling and will be covered in a subsequent patch. Signed-off-by: Kees Cook <keescook@chromium.org>
2017-03-13x86/mm: Introduce mmap_compat_base() for 32-bit mmap()Dmitry Safonov1-0/+5
mmap() uses a base address, from which it starts to look for a free space for allocation. The base address is stored in mm->mmap_base, which is calculated during exec(). The address depends on task's size, set rlimit for stack, ASLR randomization. The base depends on the task size and the number of random bits which are different for 64-bit and 32bit applications. Due to the fact, that the base address is fixed, its mmap() from a compat (32bit) syscall issued by a 64bit task will return a address which is based on the 64bit base address and does not fit into the 32bit address space (4GB). The returned pointer is truncated to 32bit, which results in an invalid address. To solve store a seperate compat address base plus a compat legacy address base in mm_struct. These bases are calculated at exec() time and can be used later to address the 32bit compat mmap() issued by 64 bit applications. As a consequence of this change 32-bit applications issuing a 64-bit syscall (after doing a long jump) will get a 64-bit mapping now. Before this change 32-bit applications always got a 32bit mapping.

2016-11-22mm: Add a user_ns owner to mm_struct and fix ptrace permission checksEric W. Biederman1-0/+1
During exec dumpable is cleared if the file that is being executed is not readable by the user executing the file. A bug in ptrace_may_access allows reading the file if the executable happens to enter into a subordinate user namespace (aka clone(CLONE_NEWUSER), unshare(CLONE_NEWUSER), or setns(fd, CLONE_NEWUSER). This problem is fixed with only necessary userspace breakage by adding a user namespace owner to mm_struct, captured at the time of exec, so it is clear in which user namespace CAP_SYS_PTRACE must be present in to be able to safely give read permission to the executable. The function ptrace_may_access is modified to verify that the ptracer has CAP_SYS_ADMIN in task->mm->user_ns instead of task->cred->user_ns. This ensures that if the task changes it's cred into a subordinate user namespace it does not become ptraceable. The function ptrace_attach is modified to only set PT_PTRACE_CAP when CAP_SYS_PTRACE is held over task->mm->user_ns. The intent of PT_PTRACE_CAP is to be a flag to note that whatever permission changes the task might go through the tracer has sufficient permissions for it not to be an issue. task->cred->user_ns is always the same as or descendent of mm->user_ns. Which guarantees that having CAP_SYS_PTRACE over mm->user_ns is the worst case for the tasks credentials. To prevent regressions mm->dumpable and mm->user_ns are not considered when a task has no mm. As simply failing ptrace_may_attach causes regressions in privileged applications attempting to read things such as /proc/<pid>/stat Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org Acked-by: Kees Cook <keescook@chromium.org> Tested-by: Cyrill Gorcunov <gorcunov@openvz.org> Fixes: 8409cca70561 ("userns: allow ptrace from non-init user namespaces") Signed-off-by: "Eric W.

2016-07-08x86/vdso: Add mremap hook to vm_special_mappingDmitry Safonov1-0/+3
Add possibility for 32-bit user-space applications to move the vDSO mapping. Previously, when a user-space app called mremap() for the vDSO address, in the syscall return path it would land on the previous address of the vDSOpage, resulting in segmentation violation. Now it lands fine and returns to userspace with a remapped vDSO. This will also fix the context.vdso pointer for 64-bit, which does not affect the user of vDSO after mremap() currently, but this may change in the future. As suggested by Andy, return -EINVAL for mremap() that would split the vDSO image: that operation cannot possibly result in a working system so reject it. Renamed and moved the text_mapping structure declaration inside map_vdso(), as it used only there and now it complements the vvar_mapping variable. There is still a problem for remapping the vDSO in glibc applications: the linker relocates addresses for syscalls on the vDSO page, so you need to relink with the new addresses.

2016-05-20mm, oom_reaper: do not mmput synchronously from the oom reaper contextMichal Hocko1-0/+2
Tetsuo has properly noted that mmput slow path might get blocked waiting for another party (e.g. exit_aio waits for an IO). If that happens the oom_reaper would be put out of the way and will not be able to process next oom victim. We should strive for making this context as reliable and independent on other subsystems as much as possible. Introduce mmput_async which will perform the slow path from an async (WQ) context. This will delay the operation but that shouldn't be a problem because the oom_reaper has reclaimed the victim's address space for most cases as much as possible and the remaining context shouldn't bind too much memory anymore. The only exception is when mmap_sem trylock has failed which shouldn't happen too often. The issue is only theoretical but not impossible.

2016-01-15mm, dax, pmem: introduce {get|put}_dev_pagemap() for dax-gupDan Williams1-0/+5
get_dev_page() enables paths like get_user_pages() to pin a dynamically mapped pfn-range (devm_memremap_pages()) while the resulting struct page objects are in use. Unlike get_page() it may fail if the device is, or is in the process of being, disabled. While the initial lookup of the range may be an expensive list walk, the result is cached to speed up subsequent lookups which are likely to be in the same mapped range. devm_memremap_pages() now requires a reference counter to be specified at init time. For pmem this means moving request_queue allocation into pmem_alloc() so the existing queue usage counter can track "device pages". ZONE_DEVICE pages always have an elevated count and will never be on an lru reclaim list. That space in 'struct page' can be redirected for other uses, but for safety introduce a poison value that will always trip __list_add() to assert. This allows half of the struct list_head storage to be reclaimed with some assurance to back up the assumption that the page count never goes to zero and a list_add() is never attempted.

2016-01-15thp: introduce deferred_split_huge_page()Kirill A. Shutemov1-0/+2
Currently we don't split huge page on partial unmap. It's not an ideal situation. It can lead to memory overhead. Furtunately, we can detect partial unmap on page_remove_rmap(). But we cannot call split_huge_page() from there due to locking context. It's also counterproductive to do directly from munmap() codepath: in many cases we will hit this from exit(2) and splitting the huge page just to free it up in small pages is not what we really want. The patch introduce deferred_split_huge_page() which put the huge page into queue for splitting. The splitting itself will happen when we get memory pressure via shrinker interface. The page will be dropped from list on freeing through compound page destructor. Signed-off-by: Kirill A.

2016-01-15mm: rework mapcount accounting to enable 4k mapping of THPsKirill A. Shutemov1-0/+1
We're going to allow mapping of individual 4k pages of THP compound. It means we need to track mapcount on per small page basis. Straight-forward approach is to use ->_mapcount in all subpages to track how many time this subpage is mapped with PMDs or PTEs combined. But this is rather expensive: mapping or unmapping of a THP page with PMD would require HPAGE_PMD_NR atomic operations instead of single we have now. The idea is to store separately how many times the page was mapped as whole -- compound_mapcount. This frees up ->_mapcount in subpages to track PTE mapcount. We use the same approach as with compound page destructor and compound order to store compound_mapcount: use space in first tail page, ->mapping this time. Any time we map/unmap whole compound page (THP or hugetlb) -- we increment/decrement compound_mapcount. When we map part of compound page with PTE we operate on ->_mapcount of the subpage. page_mapcount() counts both: PTE and PMD mappings of the page. Basically, we have mapcount for a subpage spread over two counters. It makes tricky to detect when last mapcount for a page goes away. We introduced PageDoubleMap() for this. When we split THP PMD for the first time and there's other PMD mapping left we offset up ->_mapcount in all subpages by one and set PG_double_map on the compound page. These additional references go away with last compound_mapcount. This approach provides a way to detect when last mapcount goes away on per small page basis without introducing new overhead for most common cases.

2016-01-15mm: drop tail page refcountingKirill A. Shutemov1-14/+3
Tail page refcounting is utterly complicated and painful to support. It uses ->_mapcount on tail pages to store how many times this page is pinned. get_page() bumps ->_mapcount on tail page in addition to ->_count on head. This information is required by split_huge_page() to be able to distribute pins from head of compound page to tails during the split. We will need ->_mapcount to account PTE mappings of subpages of the compound page. We eliminate need in current meaning of ->_mapcount in tail pages by forbidding split entirely if the page is pinned. The only user of tail page refcounting is THP which is marked BROKEN for now. Let's drop all this mess. It makes get_page() and put_page() much simpler. Signed-off-by: Kirill A.

When inspecting a vague code inside prctl(PR_SET_MM_MEM) call (which testing the RLIMIT_DATA value to figure out if we're allowed to assign new @start_brk, @brk, @start_data, @end_data from mm_struct) it's been commited that RLIMIT_DATA in a form it's implemented now doesn't do anything useful because most of user-space libraries use mmap() syscall for dynamic memory allocations. Linus suggested to convert RLIMIT_DATA rlimit into something suitable for anonymous memory accounting. But in this patch we go further, and the changes are bundled together as: * keep vma counting if CONFIG_PROC_FS=n, will be used for limits * replace mm->shared_vm with better defined mm->data_vm * account anonymous executable areas as executable * account file-backed growsdown/up areas as stack * drop struct file* argument from vm_stat_account * enforce RLIMIT_DATA for size of data areas This way code looks cleaner: now code/stack/data classification depends only on vm_flags state: VM_EXEC & ~VM_WRITE -> code (VmExe + VmLib in proc) VM_GROWSUP | VM_GROWSDOWN -> stack (VmStk) VM_WRITE & ~VM_SHARED & !stack -> data (VmData) The rest (VmSize - VmData - VmStk - VmExe - VmLib) could be called "shared", but that might be strange beast like readonly-private or VM_IO area. - RLIMIT_AS limits whole address space "VmSize" - RLIMIT_STACK limits stack "VmStk" (but each vma individually) - RLIMIT_DATA now limits "VmData" Signed-off-by: Konstantin Khlebnikov <koct9i@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Cyrill Gorcunov <gorcunov@openvz.org> Cc: Quentin Casasnovas <quentin.casasnovas@oracle.com> Cc: Vegard Nossum <vegard.nossum@oracle.com> Acked-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org> Cc: Willy Tarreau <w@1wt.eu> Cc: Andy Lutomirski <luto@amacapital.net> Cc: Kees Cook <keescook@google.com> Cc: Vladimir Davydov <vdavydov@virtuozzo.com> Cc: Pavel Emelyanov <xemul@virtuozzo.com> Cc: Peter Zijlstra <a.p.zijlstra@chello.nl> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
2016-01-14mm, shmem: add internal shmem resident memory accountingJerome Marchand1-3/+4
Currently looking at /proc/<pid>/status or statm, there is no way to distinguish shmem pages from pages mapped to a regular file (shmem pages are mapped to /dev/zero), even though their implication in actual memory use is quite different. The internal accounting currently counts shmem pages together with regular files. As a preparation to extend the userspace interfaces, this patch adds MM_SHMEMPAGES counter to mm_rss_stat to account for shmem pages separately from MM_FILEPAGES. The next patch will expose it to userspace - this patch doesn't change the exported values yet, by adding up MM_SHMEMPAGES to MM_FILEPAGES at places where MM_FILEPAGES was used before. The only user-visible change after this patch is the OOM killer message that separates the reported "shmem-rss" from "file-rss".

2015-11-06mm: make compound_head() robustKirill A. Shutemov1-4/+18
Hugh has pointed that compound_head() call can be unsafe in some context. There's one example: CPU0 CPU1 isolate_migratepages_block() page_count() compound_head() !!PageTail() == true put_page() tail->first_page = NULL head = tail->first_page alloc_pages(__GFP_COMP) prep_compound_page() tail->first_page = head __SetPageTail(p); !!PageTail() == true <head == NULL dereferencing> The race is pure theoretical. I don't it's possible to trigger it in practice. But who knows. We can fix the race by changing how encode PageTail() and compound_head() within struct page to be able to update them in one shot. The patch introduces page->compound_head into third double word block in front of compound_dtor and compound_order. Bit 0 encodes PageTail() and the rest bits are pointer to head page if bit zero is set. The patch moves page->pmd_huge_pte out of word, just in case if an architecture defines pgtable_t into something what can have the bit 0 set. hugetlb_cgroup uses page->lru.next in the second tail page to store pointer struct hugetlb_cgroup. The patch switch it to use page->private in the second tail page instead. The space is free since ->first_page is removed from the union. The patch also opens possibility to remove HUGETLB_CGROUP_MIN_ORDER limitation, since there's now space in first tail page to store struct hugetlb_cgroup pointer. But that's out of scope of the patch. That means page->compound_head shares storage space with: - page->lru.next; - page->next; - page->rcu_head.next; That's too long list to be absolutely sure, but looks like nobody uses bit 0 of the word. page->rcu_head.next guaranteed[1] to have bit 0 clean as long as we use call_rcu(), call_rcu_bh(), call_rcu_sched(), or call_srcu(). But future call_rcu_lazy() is not allowed as it makes use of the bit and we can get false positive PageTail().
