      libbpf: Add cscope and tags targets to Makefile · a9eb048d
      Toke Høiland-Jørgensen authored
      Using cscope and/or TAGS files for navigating the source code is useful.
      Add simple targets to the Makefile to generate the index files for both
      tools.

      Merge branch 'libbpf-api' · b84fbfe2

      Andrii Nakryiko says:
      
      ====================
      Add bpf_object__open_file() and bpf_object__open_mem() APIs that use a new
      approach to providing future-proof non-ABI-breaking API changes. It relies on
      APIs accepting optional self-describing "opts" struct, containing its own
      size, filled out and provided by potentially outdated (as well as
      newer-than-libbpf) user application. A set of internal helper macros
      (OPTS_VALID, OPTS_HAS, and OPTS_GET) streamline and simplify a graceful
      handling forward and backward compatibility for user applications dynamically
      linked against different versions of libbpf shared library.
      
      Users of libbpf are provided with convenience macro LIBBPF_OPTS that takes
      care of populating correct structure size and zero-initializes options struct,
      which helps avoid obscure issues of unitialized padding. Uninitialized padding
      in a struct might turn into garbage-populated new fields understood by future
      versions of libbpf.
      
      Patch #1 removes enforcement of kern_version in libbpf and always populates
      correct one on behalf of users.
      Patch #2 defines necessary infrastructure for options and two new open APIs
      relying on it.
      Patch #3 fixes bug in bpf_object__name().
      Patch #4 switches two of test_progs' tests to use new APIs as a validation
      that they work as expected.
      
      v2->v3:
      - fix LIBBPF_OPTS() to ensure zero-initialization of padded bytes;
      - pass through name override and relaxed maps flag for open_file() (Toke);
      - fix bpf_object__name() to actually return object name;
      - don't bother parsing and verifying version section (John);
      
      v1->v2:
      - use better approach for tracking last field in opts struct;
      - convert few tests to new APIs for validation;
      - fix bug with using offsetof(last_field) instead of offsetofend(last_field).

      libbpf: add bpf_object__open_{file, mem} w/ extensible opts · 2ce8450e
      Andrii Nakryiko authored
      Add new set of bpf_object__open APIs using new approach to optional
      parameters extensibility allowing simpler ABI compatibility approach.
      
      This patch demonstrates an approach to implementing libbpf APIs that
      makes it easy to extend existing APIs with extra optional parameters in
      such a way, that ABI compatibility is preserved without having to do
      symbol versioning and generating lots of boilerplate code to handle it.
      To facilitate succinct code for working with options, add OPTS_VALID,
      OPTS_HAS, and OPTS_GET macros that hide all the NULL, size, and zero
      checks.
      
      Additionally, newly added libbpf APIs are encouraged to follow similar
      pattern of having all mandatory parameters as formal function parameters
      and always have optional (NULL-able) xxx_opts struct, which should
      always have real struct size as a first field and the rest would be
      optional parameters added over time, which tune the behavior of existing
      API, if specified by user.

      libbpf: stop enforcing kern_version, populate it for users · 5e61f270
      Andrii Nakryiko authored
      Kernel version enforcement for kprobes/kretprobes was removed from
      5.0 kernel in 6c4fc209 ("bpf: remove useless version check for prog load").
      Since then, BPF programs were specifying SEC("version") just to please
      libbpf. We should stop enforcing this in libbpf, if even kernel doesn't
      care. Furthermore, libbpf now will pre-populate current kernel version
      of the host system, in case we are still running on old kernel.
      
      This patch also removes __bpf_object__open_xattr from libbpf.h, as
      nothing in libbpf is relying on having it in that header. That function
      was never exported as LIBBPF_API and even name suggests its internal
      version. So this should be safe to remove, as it doesn't break ABI.

      libbpf: Fix BTF-defined map's __type macro handling of arrays · a53ba15d
      Andrii Nakryiko authored
      Due to a quirky C syntax of declaring pointers to array or function
      prototype, existing __type() macro doesn't work with map key/value types
      that are array or function prototype. One has to create a typedef first
      and use it to specify key/value type for a BPF map.  By using typeof(),
      pointer to type is now handled uniformly for all kinds of types. Convert
      one of self-tests as a demonstration.

      selftests/bpf: Correct path to include msg + path · c5881463
      Ivan Khoronzhuk authored
      The "path" buf is supposed to contain path + printf msg up to 24 bytes.
      It will be cut anyway, but compiler generates truncation warns like:
      
      "
      samples/bpf/../../tools/testing/selftests/bpf/cgroup_helpers.c: In

      writing 19 bytes into a region of size between 1 and 4097
      [-Wformat-truncation=]
      snprintf(path, sizeof(path), "%s/cgroup.controllers", cgroup_path);
      				  ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
      samples/bpf/../../tools/testing/selftests/bpf/cgroup_helpers.c:52:2:
      note: ‘snprintf’ output between 20 and 4116 bytes into a destination

      snprintf(path, sizeof(path), "%s/cgroup.subtree_control",
      cgroup_path);
      "
      
      In order to avoid warns, lets decrease buf size for cgroup workdir on
      24 bytes with assumption to include also "/cgroup.subtree_control" to
      the address. The cut will never happen anyway.

      David S. Miller authored
      Jiri Pirko says:
      
      ====================
      net: introduce alternative names for network interfaces
      
      In the past, there was repeatedly discussed the IFNAMSIZ (16) limit for
      netdevice name length. Now when we have PF and VF representors
      with port names like "pfXvfY", it became quite common to hit this limit:
      0123456789012345
      enp131s0f1npf0vf6
      enp131s0f1npf0vf22
      
      Udev cannot rename these interfaces out-of-the-box and user needs to
      create custom rules to handle them.
      
      Also, udev has multiple schemes of netdev names. From udev code:
       * Type of names:
       *   b<number>                             - BCMA bus core number
       *   c<bus_id>                             - bus id of a grouped CCW or CCW device,
       *                                           with all leading zeros stripped [s390]
       *   o<index>[n<phys_port_name>|d<dev_port>]
       *                                         - on-board device index number
       *   s<slot>[f<function>][n<phys_port_name>|d<dev_port>]
       *                                         - hotplug slot index number
       *   x<MAC>                                - MAC address
       *   [P<domain>]p<bus>s<slot>[f<function>][n<phys_port_name>|d<dev_port>]
       *                                         - PCI geographical location
       *   [P<domain>]p<bus>s<slot>[f<function>][u<port>][..][c<config>][i<interface>]
       *                                         - USB port number chain
       *   v<slot>                               - VIO slot number (IBM PowerVM)
       *   a<vendor><model>i<instance>           - Platform bus ACPI instance id
       *   i<addr>n<phys_port_name>              - Netdevsim bus address and port name
      
      One device can be often renamed by multiple patterns at the
      same time (e.g. pci address/mac).
      
      This patchset introduces alternative names for network interfaces.
      Main goal is to:
      1) Overcome the IFNAMSIZ limitation (altname limitation is 128 bytes)
      2) Allow to have multiple names at the same time (multiple udev patterns)
      3) Allow to use alternative names as handle for commands
      
      The patchset introduces two new commands to add/delete list of properties.
      Currently only alternative names are implemented but the ifrastructure
      could be easily extended later on. This is very similar to the list of vlan
      and tunnels being added/deleted to/from bridge ports.

      Merge branch 'hugepage-fallbacks' (hugepatch patches from David Rientjes) · edf445ad
      Linus Torvalds authored
      Merge hugepage allocation updates from David Rientjes:
       "We (mostly Linus, Andrea, and myself) have been discussing offlist how
        to implement a sane default allocation strategy for hugepages on NUMA
        platforms.
      
        With these reverts in place, the page allocator will happily allocate
        a remote hugepage immediately rather than try to make a local hugepage
        available. This incurs a substantial performance degradation when
        memory compaction would have otherwise made a local hugepage
        available.
      
        This series reverts those reverts and attempts to propose a more sane
        default allocation strategy specifically for hugepages. Andrea
        acknowledges this is likely to fix the swap storms that he originally
        reported that resulted in the patches that removed __GFP_THISNODE from
        hugepage allocations.
      
        The immediate goal is to return 5.3 to the behavior the kernel has
        implemented over the past several years so that remote hugepages are
        not immediately allocated when local hugepages could have been made
        available because the increased access latency is untenable.
      
        The next goal is to introduce a sane default allocation strategy for
        hugepages allocations in general regardless of the configuration of
        the system so that we prevent thrashing of local memory when
        compaction is unlikely to succeed and can prefer remote hugepages over
        remote native pages when the local node is low on memory."
      
      Note on timing: this reverts the hugepage VM behavior changes that got
      introduced fairly late in the 5.3 cycle, and that fixed a huge
      performance regression for certain loads that had been around since
      4.18.
      
      Andrea had this note:
      
       "The regression of 4.18 was that it was taking hours to start a VM
        where 3.10 was only taking a few seconds, I reported all the details
        on lkml when it was finally tracked down in August 2018.
      
           https://lore.kernel.org/linux-mm/20180820032640.9896-2-aarcange@redhat.com/
      
        __GFP_THISNODE in MADV_HUGEPAGE made the above enterprise vfio
        workload degrade like in the "current upstream" above. And it still
        would have been that bad as above until 5.3-rc5"
      
      where the bad behavior ends up happening as you fill up a local node,
      and without that change, you'd get into the nasty swap storm behavior
      due to compaction working overtime to make room for more memory on the
      nodes.
      
      As a result 5.3 got the two performance fix reverts in rc5.
      
      However, David Rientjes then noted that those performance fixes in turn
      regressed performance for other loads - although not quite to the same
      degree.  He suggested reverting the reverts and instead replacing them
      with two small changes to how hugepage allocations are done (patch
      descriptions rephrased by me):
      
       - "avoid expensive reclaim when compaction may not succeed": just admit
         that the allocation failed when you're trying to allocate a huge-page
         and compaction wasn't successful.
      
       - "allow hugepage fallback to remote nodes when madvised": when that
         node-local huge-page allocation failed, retry without forcing the
         local node.
      
      but by then I judged it too late to replace the fixes for a 5.3 release.
      So 5.3 was released with behavior that harked back to the pre-4.18 logic.
      
      But now we're in the merge window for 5.4, and we can see if this
      alternate model fixes not just the horrendous swap storm behavior, but
      also restores the performance regression that the late reverts caused.
      
      Fingers crossed.

      mm, page_alloc: allow hugepage fallback to remote nodes when madvised · 76e654cc
      David Rientjes authored
      For systems configured to always try hard to allocate transparent
      hugepages (thp defrag setting of "always") or for memory that has been
      explicitly madvised to MADV_HUGEPAGE, it is often better to fallback to
      remote memory to allocate the hugepage if the local allocation fails
      first.
      
      The point is to allow the initial call to __alloc_pages_node() to attempt
      to defragment local memory to make a hugepage available, if possible,
      rather than immediately fallback to remote memory.  Local hugepages will
      always have a better access latency than remote (huge)pages, so an attempt
      to make a hugepage available locally is always preferred.
      
      If memory compaction cannot be successful locally, however, it is likely
      better to fallback to remote memory.  This could take on two forms: either
      allow immediate fallback to remote memory or do per-zone watermark checks.
      It would be possible to fallback only when per-zone watermarks fail for
      order-0 memory, since that would require local reclaim for all subsequent
      faults so remote huge allocation is likely better than thrashing the local
      zone for large workloads.
      
      In this case, it is assumed that because the system is configured to try
      hard to allocate hugepages or the vma is advised to explicitly want to try
      hard for hugepages that remote allocation is better when local allocation
      and memory compaction have both failed.

      mm, page_alloc: avoid expensive reclaim when compaction may not succeed · b39d0ee2
      David Rientjes authored
      Memory compaction has a couple significant drawbacks as the allocation
      order increases, specifically:
      
       - isolate_freepages() is responsible for finding free pages to use as
         migration targets and is implemented as a linear scan of memory
         starting at the end of a zone,
      
       - failing order-0 watermark checks in memory compaction does not account
         for how far below the watermarks the zone actually is: to enable
         migration, there must be *some* free memory available.  Per the above,
         watermarks are not always suffficient if isolate_freepages() cannot
         find the free memory but it could require hundreds of MBs of reclaim to
         even reach this threshold (read: potentially very expensive reclaim with
         no indication compaction can be successful), and
      
       - if compaction at this order has failed recently so that it does not even
         run as a result of deferred compaction, looping through reclaim can often
         be pointless.
      
      For hugepage allocations, these are quite substantial drawbacks because
      these are very high order allocations (order-9 on x86) and falling back to
      doing reclaim can potentially be *very* expensive without any indication
      that compaction would even be successful.
      
      Reclaim itself is unlikely to free entire pageblocks and certainly no
      reliance should be put on it to do so in isolation (recall lumpy reclaim).
      This means we should avoid reclaim and simply fail hugepage allocation if
      compaction is deferred.
      
      It is also not helpful to thrash a zone by doing excessive reclaim if
      compaction may not be able to access that memory.  If order-0 watermarks
      fail and the allocation order is sufficiently large, it is likely better
      to fail the allocation rather than thrashing the zone.

      Revert "Revert "Revert "mm, thp: consolidate THP gfp handling into alloc_hugepage_direct_gfpmask"" · 19deb769
      David Rientjes authored
      This reverts commit 92717d42.
      
      Since commit a8282608 ("Revert "mm, thp: restore node-local hugepage
      allocations"") is reverted in this series, it is better to restore the
      previous 5.2 behavior between the thp allocation and the page allocator
      rather than to attempt any consolidation or cleanup for a policy that is
      now reverted.  It's less risky during an rc cycle and subsequent patches
      in this series further modify the same policy that the pre-5.3 behavior
      implements.
      
      Consolidation and cleanup can be done subsequent to a sane default page
      allocation strategy, so this patch reverts a cleanup done on a strategy
      that is now reverted and thus is the least risky option.
