Pull KVM updates from Paolo Bonzini:
 "For x86, there is a new alternative and (in the future) more scalable
  implementation of extended page tables that does not need a reverse
  map from guest physical addresses to host physical addresses.

  For now it is disabled by default because it is still lacking a few of
  the existing MMU's bells and whistles. However it is a very solid
  piece of work and it is already available for people to hammer on it.

  Other updates:

  ARM:
   - New page table code for both hypervisor and guest stage-2
   - Introduction of a new EL2-private host context
   - Allow EL2 to have its own private per-CPU variables
   - Support of PMU event filtering
   - Complete rework of the Spectre mitigation

  PPC:
   - Fix for running nested guests with in-kernel IRQ chip
   - Fix race condition causing occasional host hard lockup
   - Minor cleanups and bugfixes

  x86:
   - allow trapping unknown MSRs to userspace
   - allow userspace to force #GP on specific MSRs
   - INVPCID support on AMD
   - nested AMD cleanup, on demand allocation of nested SVM state
   - hide PV MSRs and hypercalls for features not enabled in CPUID
   - new test for MSR_IA32_TSC writes from host and guest
   - cleanups: MMU, CPUID, shared MSRs
   - LAPIC latency optimizations ad bugfixes"

<title>mm/madvise: introduce process_madvise() syscall: an external memory hinting API</title>
<updated>2020-10-18T16:27:10Z</updated>
<author>
<name>Minchan Kim</name>
<email>minchan@kernel.org</email>
</author>
<published>2020-10-17T23:14:59Z</published>
<link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='https://git.zx2c4.com/wireguard-linux/commit/?id=ecb8ac8b1f146915aa6b96449b66dd48984caacc'/>
<id>urn:sha1:ecb8ac8b1f146915aa6b96449b66dd48984caacc</id>
<content type='text'>
There is usecase that System Management Software(SMS) want to give a
memory hint like MADV_[COLD|PAGEEOUT] to other processes and in the
case of Android, it is the ActivityManagerService.

The information required to make the reclaim decision is not known to the
app.  Instead, it is known to the centralized userspace
daemon(ActivityManagerService), and that daemon must be able to initiate
reclaim on its own without any app involvement.

To solve the issue, this patch introduces a new syscall
process_madvise(2).  It uses pidfd of an external process to give the
hint.  It also supports vector address range because Android app has
thousands of vmas due to zygote so it's totally waste of CPU and power if
we should call the syscall one by one for each vma.(With testing 2000-vma
syscall vs 1-vector syscall, it showed 15% performance improvement.  I
think it would be bigger in real practice because the testing ran very
cache friendly environment).

Another potential use case for the vector range is to amortize the cost
ofTLB shootdowns for multiple ranges when using MADV_DONTNEED; this could
benefit users like TCP receive zerocopy and malloc implementations.  In
future, we could find more usecases for other advises so let's make it
happens as API since we introduce a new syscall at this moment.  With
that, existing madvise(2) user could replace it with process_madvise(2)
with their own pid if they want to have batch address ranges support
feature.

ince it could affect other process's address range, only privileged
process(PTRACE_MODE_ATTACH_FSCREDS) or something else(e.g., being the same
UID) gives it the right to ptrace the process could use it successfully.
The flag argument is reserved for future use if we need to extend the API.

I think supporting all hints madvise has/will supported/support to
process_madvise is rather risky.  Because we are not sure all hints make
sense from external process and implementation for the hint may rely on
the caller being in the current context so it could be error-prone.  Thus,
I just limited hints as MADV_[COLD|PAGEOUT] in this patch.

If someone want to add other hints, we could hear the usecase and review
it for each hint.  It's safer for maintenance rather than introducing a
buggy syscall but hard to fix it later.

So finally, the API is as follows,

      ssize_t process_madvise(int pidfd, const struct iovec *iovec,
                unsigned long vlen, int advice, unsigned int flags);

    DESCRIPTION
      The process_madvise() system call is used to give advice or directions
      to the kernel about the address ranges from external process as well as
      local process. It provides the advice to address ranges of process
      described by iovec and vlen. The goal of such advice is to improve
      system or application performance.

      The pidfd selects the process referred to by the PID file descriptor
      specified in pidfd. (See pidofd_open(2) for further information)

      The pointer iovec points to an array of iovec structures, defined in
      &lt;sys/uio.h&gt; as:

        struct iovec {
            void *iov_base;         /* starting address */
            size_t iov_len;         /* number of bytes to be advised */
        };

      The iovec describes address ranges beginning at address(iov_base)
      and with size length of bytes(iov_len).

      The vlen represents the number of elements in iovec.

      The advice is indicated in the advice argument, which is one of the
      following at this moment if the target process specified by pidfd is
      external.

        MADV_COLD
        MADV_PAGEOUT

      Permission to provide a hint to external process is governed by a
      ptrace access mode PTRACE_MODE_ATTACH_FSCREDS check; see ptrace(2).

      The process_madvise supports every advice madvise(2) has if target
      process is in same thread group with calling process so user could
      use process_madvise(2) to extend existing madvise(2) to support
      vector address ranges.

    RETURN VALUE
      On success, process_madvise() returns the number of bytes advised.
      This return value may be less than the total number of requested
      bytes, if an error occurred. The caller should check return value
      to determine whether a partial advice occurred.

FAQ:

Q.1 - Why does any external entity have better knowledge?

Quote from Sandeep

"For Android, every application (including the special SystemServer)
are forked from Zygote.  The reason of course is to share as many
libraries and classes between the two as possible to benefit from the
preloading during boot.

After applications start, (almost) all of the APIs end up calling into
this SystemServer process over IPC (binder) and back to the
application.

In a fully running system, the SystemServer monitors every single
process periodically to calculate their PSS / RSS and also decides
which process is "important" to the user for interactivity.

So, because of how these processes start _and_ the fact that the
SystemServer is looping to monitor each process, it does tend to *know*
which address range of the application is not used / useful.

Besides, we can never rely on applications to clean things up
themselves.  We've had the "hey app1, the system is low on memory,
please trim your memory usage down" notifications for a long time[1].
They rely on applications honoring the broadcasts and very few do.

So, if we want to avoid the inevitable killing of the application and
restarting it, some way to be able to tell the OS about unimportant
memory in these applications will be useful.

Q.2 - How to guarantee the race(i.e., object validation) between when
giving a hint from an external process and get the hint from the target
process?

process_madvise operates on the target process's address space as it
exists at the instant that process_madvise is called.  If the space
target process can run between the time the process_madvise process
inspects the target process address space and the time that
process_madvise is actually called, process_madvise may operate on
memory regions that the calling process does not expect.  It's the
responsibility of the process calling process_madvise to close this
race condition.  For example, the calling process can suspend the
target process with ptrace, SIGSTOP, or the freezer cgroup so that it
doesn't have an opportunity to change its own address space before
process_madvise is called.  Another option is to operate on memory
regions that the caller knows a priori will be unchanged in the target
process.  Yet another option is to accept the race for certain
process_madvise calls after reasoning that mistargeting will do no
harm.  The suggested API itself does not provide synchronization.  It
also apply other APIs like move_pages, process_vm_write.

The race isn't really a problem though.  Why is it so wrong to require
that callers do their own synchronization in some manner?  Nobody
objects to write(2) merely because it's possible for two processes to
open the same file and clobber each other's writes --- instead, we tell
people to use flock or something.  Think about mmap.  It never
guarantees newly allocated address space is still valid when the user
tries to access it because other threads could unmap the memory right
before.  That's where we need synchronization by using other API or
design from userside.  It shouldn't be part of API itself.  If someone
needs more fine-grained synchronization rather than process level,
there were two ideas suggested - cookie[2] and anon-fd[3].  Both are
applicable via using last reserved argument of the API but I don't
think it's necessary right now since we have already ways to prevent
the race so don't want to add additional complexity with more
fine-grained optimization model.

To make the API extend, it reserved an unsigned long as last argument
so we could support it in future if someone really needs it.

Q.3 - Why doesn't ptrace work?

Injecting an madvise in the target process using ptrace would not work
for us because such injected madvise would have to be executed by the
target process, which means that process would have to be runnable and
that creates the risk of the abovementioned race and hinting a wrong
VMA.  Furthermore, we want to act the hint in caller's context, not the
callee's, because the callee is usually limited in cpuset/cgroups or
even freezed state so they can't act by themselves quick enough, which
causes more thrashing/kill.  It doesn't work if the target process are
ptraced(e.g., strace, debugger, minidump) because a process can have at
most one ptracer.

<title>arm64: mm: use single quantity to represent the PA to VA translation</title>

<content type='text'>
On arm64, the global variable memstart_addr represents the physical
address of PAGE_OFFSET, and so physical to virtual translations or
vice versa used to come down to simple additions or subtractions
involving the values of PAGE_OFFSET and memstart_addr.

When support for 52-bit virtual addressing was introduced, we had to
deal with PAGE_OFFSET potentially being outside of the region that
can be covered by the virtual range (as the 52-bit VA capable build
needs to be able to run on systems that are only 48-bit VA capable),
and for this reason, another translation was introduced, and recorded
in the global variable physvirt_offset.

However, if we go back to the original definition of memstart_addr,
i.e., the physical address of PAGE_OFFSET, it turns out that there is
no need for two separate translations: instead, we can simply subtract
the size of the unaddressable VA space from memstart_addr to make the
available physical memory appear in the 48-bit addressable VA region.

This simplifies things, but also fixes a bug on KASLR builds, which
may update memstart_addr later on in arm64_memblock_init(), but fails

Pull iommu updates from Joerg Roedel:

 - ARM-SMMU Updates from Will:

      - Continued SVM enablement, where page-table is shared with CPU

      - Groundwork to support integrated SMMU with Adreno GPU

      - Allow disabling of MSI-based polling on the kernel command-line

      - Minor driver fixes and cleanups (octal permissions, error
        messages, ...)

 - Secure Nested Paging Support for AMD IOMMU. The IOMMU will fault when
   a device tries DMA on memory owned by a guest. This needs new
   fault-types as well as a rewrite of the IOMMU memory semaphore for
   command completions.

 - Allow broken Intel IOMMUs (wrong address widths reported) to still be
   used for interrupt remapping.

 - IOMMU UAPI updates for supporting vSVA, where the IOMMU can access
   address spaces of processes running in a VM.

 - Support for the MT8167 IOMMU in the Mediatek IOMMU driver.

 - Device-tree updates for the Renesas driver to support r8a7742.

 - Several smaller fixes and cleanups all over the place.

Pull power management updates from Rafael Wysocki:
 "These rework the collection of cpufreq statistics to allow it to take
  place if fast frequency switching is enabled in the governor, rework
  the frequency invariance handling in the cpufreq core and drivers, add
  new hardware support to a couple of cpufreq drivers, fix a number of
  assorted issues and clean up the code all over.

  Specifics:

   - Rework cpufreq statistics collection to allow it to take place when
     fast frequency switching is enabled in the governor (Viresh Kumar).

   - Make the cpufreq core set the frequency scale on behalf of the
     driver and update several cpufreq drivers accordingly (Ionela
     Voinescu, Valentin Schneider).

   - Add new hardware support to the STI and qcom cpufreq drivers and
     improve them (Alain Volmat, Manivannan Sadhasivam).

   - Fix multiple assorted issues in cpufreq drivers (Jon Hunter,
     Krzysztof Kozlowski, Matthias Kaehlcke, Pali Rohár, Stephan
     Gerhold, Viresh Kumar).

   - Fix several assorted issues in the operating performance points
     (OPP) framework (Stephan Gerhold, Viresh Kumar).

   - Allow devfreq drivers to fetch devfreq instances by DT enumeration
     instead of using explicit phandles and modify the devfreq core code
     to support driver-specific devfreq DT bindings (Leonard Crestez,
     Chanwoo Choi).

   - Improve initial hardware resetting in the tegra30 devfreq driver
     and clean up the tegra cpuidle driver (Dmitry Osipenko).

   - Update the cpuidle core to collect state entry rejection statistics
     and expose them via sysfs (Lina Iyer).

   - Improve the ACPI _CST code handling diagnostics (Chen Yu).

   - Update the PSCI cpuidle driver to allow the PM domain
     initialization to occur in the OSI mode as well as in the PC mode
     (Ulf Hansson).

   - Rework the generic power domains (genpd) core code to allow domain
     power off transition to be aborted in the absence of the "power
     off" domain callback (Ulf Hansson).

   - Fix two suspend-to-idle issues in the ACPI EC driver (Rafael
     Wysocki).

   - Fix the handling of timer_expires in the PM-runtime framework on
     32-bit systems and the handling of device links in it (Grygorii
     Strashko, Xiang Chen).

   - Add IO requests batching support to the hibernate image saving and
     reading code and drop a bogus get_gendisk() from there (Xiaoyi
     Chen, Christoph Hellwig).

   - Allow PCIe ports to be put into the D3cold power state if they are
     power-manageable via ACPI (Lukas Wunner).

   - Add missing header file include to a power capping driver (Pujin
     Shi).

   - Clean up the qcom-cpr AVS driver a bit (Liu Shixin).

   - Kevin Hilman steps down as designated reviwer of adaptive voltage
     scaling (AVS) drivers (Kevin Hilman)"

Pull xen updates from Juergen Gross:

 - two small cleanup patches

 - avoid error messages when initializing MCA banks in a Xen dom0

 - a small series for converting the Xen gntdev driver to use
   pin_user_pages*() instead of get_user_pages*()

 - intermediate fix for running as a Xen guest on Arm with KPTI enabled
   (the final solution will need new Xen functionality)

Pull compat mount cleanups from Al Viro:
 "The last remnants of mount(2) compat buried by Christoph.

  Buried into NFS, that is.

  Generally I'm less enthusiastic about "let's use in_compat_syscall()
  deep in call chain" kind of approach than Christoph seems to be, but
  in this case it's warranted - that had been an NFS-specific wart,
  hopefully not to be repeated in any other filesystems (read: any new
  filesystem introducing non-text mount options will get NAKed even if
  it doesn't mess the layout up).

  IOW, not worth trying to grow an infrastructure that would avoid that
  use of in_compat_syscall()..."

* 'compat.mount' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/viro/vfs:
  fs: remove compat_sys_mount
  fs,nfs: lift compat nfs4 mount data handling into the nfs code
  nfs: simplify nfs4_parse_monolithic
