Pull arch task_work cleanups from Jens Axboe:
 "Two cleanups that don't fit other categories:

   - Finally get the task_work_add() cleanup done properly, so we don't
     have random 0/1/false/true/TWA_SIGNAL confusing use cases. Updates
     all callers, and also fixes up the documentation for
     task_work_add().

   - While working on some TIF related changes for 5.11, this
     TIF_NOTIFY_RESUME cleanup fell out of that. Remove some arch
     duplication for how that is handled"

This change removes all instances of DISABLE_LTO from
Makefiles, as they are currently unused, and the preferred
method of disabling LTO is to filter out the flags instead.

Note added by Masahiro Yamada:
DISABLE_LTO was added as preparation for GCC LTO, but GCC LTO was
not pulled into the mainline. (https://lkml.org/lkml/2014/4/8/272)

<title>mm/madvise: introduce process_madvise() syscall: an external memory hinting API</title>
<updated>2020-10-18T16:27:10Z</updated>

<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.

into tracehook_notify_resume() instead.

Pull powerpc updates from Michael Ellerman:

 - A series from Nick adding ARCH_WANT_IRQS_OFF_ACTIVATE_MM &amp; selecting
   it for powerpc, as well as a related fix for sparc.

 - Remove support for PowerPC 601.

 - Some fixes for watchpoints &amp; addition of a new ptrace flag for
   detecting ISA v3.1 (Power10) watchpoint features.

 - A fix for kernels using 4K pages and the hash MMU on bare metal
   Power9 systems with &gt; 16TB of RAM, or RAM on the 2nd node.

 - A basic idle driver for shallow stop states on Power10.

 - Tweaks to our sched domains code to better inform the scheduler about
   the hardware topology on Power9/10, where two SMT4 cores can be
   presented by firmware as an SMT8 core.

 - A series doing further reworks &amp; cleanups of our EEH code.

 - Addition of a filter for RTAS (firmware) calls done via sys_rtas(),
   to prevent root from overwriting kernel memory.

 - Other smaller features, fixes &amp; cleanups.

Pull kernel_clone() updates from Christian Brauner:
 "During the v5.9 merge window we reworked the process creation
  codepaths across multiple architectures. After this work we were only
  left with the _do_fork() helper based on the struct kernel_clone_args
  calling convention. As was pointed out _do_fork() isn't valid
  kernelese especially for a helper that isn't just static.

  This series removes the _do_fork() helper and introduces the new
  kernel_clone() helper. The process creation cleanup didn't change the
  name to something more reasonable mainly because _do_fork() was used
  in quite a few places. So sending this as a separate series seemed the
  better strategy.

  I originally intended to send this early in the v5.9 development cycle
  after the merge window had closed but given that this was touching
  quite a few places I decided to defer this until the v5.10 merge
  window"
