Once kthread printing is available, console printing will no longer occur in the context of the printk caller. However, there are some special contexts where it is desirable for the printk caller to directly print out kernel messages. Using pr_flush() to wait for threaded printers is only possible if the caller is in a sleepable context and the kthreads are active. That is not always the case. Introduce printk_prefer_direct_enter() and printk_prefer_direct_exit() functions to explicitly (and globally) activate/deactivate preferred direct console printing. The term "direct console printing" refers to printing to all enabled consoles from the context of the printk caller. The term "prefer" is used because this type of printing is only best effort. If the console is currently locked or other printers are already actively printing, the printk caller will need to rely on the other contexts to handle the printing. This preferred direct printing is how all printing has been handled until now (unless it was explicitly deferred). When kthread printing is introduced, there may be some unanticipated problems due to kthreads being unable to flush important messages. In order to minimize such risks, preferred direct printing is activated for the primary important messages when the system experiences general types of major errors. These are: - emergency reboot/shutdown - cpu and rcu stalls - hard and soft lockups - hung tasks - warn - sysrq Note that since kthread printing does not yet exist, no behavior changes result from this commit. This is only implementing the counter and marking the various places where preferred direct printing is active. Signed-off-by:

Provide a might-sleep function to allow waiting for console printers to catch up to the latest logged message. Use pr_flush() whenever it is desirable to get buffered messages printed before continuing: suspend_console(), resume_console(), console_stop(), console_start(), console_unblank(). Signed-off-by:

Extended consoles print extended messages and do not print messages about dropped records. Non-extended consoles print "normal" messages as well as extra messages about dropped records. Currently the buffers for these various message types are defined within the functions that might use them and their usage is based upon the CON_EXTENDED flag. This will be a problem when moving to kthread printers because each printer must be able to provide its own buffers. Move all the message buffer definitions outside of console_emit_next_record(). The caller knows if extended or dropped messages should be printed and can specify the appropriate buffers to use. The console_emit_next_record() and call_console_driver() functions can know what to print based on whether specified buffers are non-NULL. With this change, buffer definition/allocation/specification is separated from the code that does the various types of string printing. Signed-off-by:

Refactor/rework printing logic in order to prepare for moving to threaded console printing. - Move @console_seq into struct console so that the current "position" of each console can be tracked individually. - Move @console_dropped into struct console so that the current drop count of each console can be tracked individually. - Modify printing logic so that each console independently loads, prepares, and prints its next record. - Remove exclusive_console logic. Since console positions are handled independently, replaying past records occurs naturally. - Update the comments explaining why preemption is disabled while printing from printk() context. With these changes, there is a change in behavior: the console replaying the log (formerly exclusive console) will no longer block other consoles. New messages appear on the other consoles while the newly added console is still replaying. Signed-off-by:

It is useful to generate log messages that include details about the related console. Rather than duplicate the code to assemble the details, put that code into a macro con_printk(). Once console printers become threaded, this macro will find more users. Signed-off-by:

Currently the local CPU timestamp and caller_id for the record are collected while migration is enabled. Since this information is CPU-specific, it should be collected with migration disabled. Migration is disabled immediately after collecting this information anyway, so just move the information collection to after the migration disabling. Signed-off-by:

When printk() is called from safe or NMI contexts, it will directly store the record (vprintk_store()) and then defer the console output. However, defer_console_output() only causes console printing and does not wake any waiters of new records. Wake waiters from defer_console_output() so that they also are aware of the new records from safe and NMI contexts.

John Ogness authored
It is important that any new records are visible to preparing waiters before the waker checks if the wait queue is empty. Otherwise it is possible that: - there are new records available - the waker sees an empty wait queue and does not wake - the preparing waiter sees no new records and begins to wait This is exactly the problem that the function description of waitqueue_active() warns about. Use wq_has_sleeper() instead of waitqueue_active() because it includes the necessary full memory barrier. Signed-off-by:

Since the printk cpulock is CPU-reentrant and since it is used in all contexts, its usage must be carefully considered and most likely will require programming locklessly. To avoid mistaking the printk cpulock as a typical lock, rename it to cpu_sync. The main functions then become: printk_cpu_sync_get_irqsave(flags); printk_cpu_sync_put_irqrestore(flags); Add extra notes of caution in the function description to help developers understand the requirements for correct usage.

This commit links the DAMON sysfs interface to DAMON so that users can control DAMON via the interface. In detail, this commit makes writing 'on' to 'state' file constructs DAMON contexts based on values that users have written to relevant sysfs files and start the context. It supports only virtual address spaces monitoring at the moment, though. The files hierarchy of DAMON sysfs interface after this commit is shown below. In the below figure, parents-children relations are represented with indentations, each directory is having ``/`` suffix, and files in each directory are separated by comma (","). /sys/kernel/mm/damon/admin │ kdamonds/nr_kdamonds │ │ 0/state,pid │ │ │ contexts/nr_contexts │ │ │ │ 0/operations │ │ │ │ │ monitoring_attrs/ │ │ │ │ │ │ intervals/sample_us,aggr_us,update_us │ │ │ │ │ │ nr_regions/min,max │ │ │ │ │ targets/nr_targets │ │ │ │ │ │ 0/pid_target │ │ │ │ │ │ ... │ │ │ │ ... │ │ ... The usage is straightforward. Writing a number ('N') to each 'nr_*' file makes directories named '0' to 'N-1'. Users can construct DAMON contexts by writing proper values to the files in the straightforward manner and start each kdamond by writing 'on' to 'kdamonds/<N>/state'.

DAMON's debugfs-based user interface served very well, so far. However, it unnecessarily depends on debugfs, while DAMON is not aimed to be used for only debugging. Also, the interface receives multiple values via one file. For example, schemes file receives 18 values separated by white spaces. As a result, it is ineffient, hard to be used, and difficult to be extended. Especially, keeping backward compatibility of user space tools is getting only challenging. It would be better to implement another reliable and flexible interface and deprecate the debugfs interface in long term. To this end, this commit implements a stub of a part of the new user interface of DAMON using sysfs. Specifically, this commit implements the sysfs control parts for virtual address space monitoring. More specifically, the idea of the new interface is, using directory hierarchies and making one file for one value. The hierarchy that this commit is introducing is as below. In the below figure, parents-children relations are represented with indentations, each directory is having ``/`` suffix, and files in each directory are separated by comma (","). /sys/kernel/mm/damon/admin │ kdamonds/nr_kdamonds │ │ 0/state,pid │ │ │ contexts/nr_contexts │ │ │ │ 0/operations │ │ │ │ │ monitoring_attrs/ │ │ │ │ │ │ intervals/sample_us,aggr_us,update_us │ │ │ │ │ │ nr_regions/min,max │ │ │ │ │ targets/nr_targets │ │ │ │ │ │ 0/pid_target │ │ │ │ │ │ ... │ │ │ │ ... │ │ ... Writing a number <N> to each 'nr' file makes directories of name <0> to <N-1> in the directory of the 'nr' file. That's all this commit does. Writing proper values to relevant files will construct the DAMON contexts, and writing a special keyword, 'on', to 'state' files for each kdamond will ask DAMON to start the constructed contexts. For a short example, using below commands for monitoring virtual address spaces of a given workload is imaginable: # cd /sys/kernel/mm/damon/admin/ # echo 1 > kdamonds/nr_kdamonds # echo 1 > kdamonds/0/contexts/nr_contexts # echo vaddr > kdamonds/0/contexts/0/operations # echo 1 > kdamonds/0/contexts/0/targets/nr_targets # echo $(pidof <workload>) > kdamonds/0/contexts/0/targets/0/pid_target # echo on > kdamonds/0/state Please note that this commit is implementing only the sysfs part stub as abovely mentioned. This commit doesn't implement the special keywords for 'state' files. Following commits will do that.

However, it unnecessarily depends on debugfs, while DAMON is not aimed to be used for only debugging. Also, the interface receives multiple values via one file. For example, schemes file receives 18 values. As a result, it is inefficient, hard to be used, and difficult to be extended. Especially, keeping backward compatibility of user space tools is getting only challenging. It would be better to implement another reliable and flexible interface and deprecate DAMON_DBGFS in long term. For the reason, this patchset introduces a sysfs-based new user interface of DAMON. The idea of the new interface is, using directory hierarchies and having one dedicated file for each value. For a short example, users can do the virtual address monitoring via the interface as below: # cd /sys/kernel/mm/damon/admin/ # echo 1 > kdamonds/nr_kdamonds # echo 1 > kdamonds/0/contexts/nr_contexts # echo vaddr > kdamonds/0/contexts/0/operations # echo 1 > kdamonds/0/contexts/0/targets/nr_targets # echo $(pidof <workload>) > kdamonds/0/contexts/0/targets/0/pid_target # echo on > kdamonds/0/state A brief representation of the files hierarchy of DAMON sysfs interface is as below. Childs are represented with indentation, directories are having '/' suffix, and files in each directory are separated by comma. /sys/kernel/mm/damon/admin │ kdamonds/nr_kdamonds │ │ 0/state,pid │ │ │ contexts/nr_contexts │ │ │ │ 0/operations │ │ │ │ │ monitoring_attrs/ │ │ │ │ │ │ intervals/sample_us,aggr_us,update_us │ │ │ │ │ │ nr_regions/min,max │ │ │ │ │ targets/nr_targets │ │ │ │ │ │ 0/pid_target │ │ │ │ │ │ │ regions/nr_regions │ │ │ │ │ │ │ │ 0/start,end │ │ │ │ │ │ │ │ ... │ │ │ │ │ │ ... │ │ │ │ │ schemes/nr_schemes │ │ │ │ │ │ 0/action │ │ │ │ │ │ │ access_pattern/ │ │ │ │ │ │ │ │ sz/min,max │ │ │ │ │ │ │ │ nr_accesses/min,max │ │ │ │ │ │ │ │ age/min,max │ │ │ │ │ │ │ quotas/ms,bytes,reset_interval_ms │ │ │ │ │ │ │ │ weights/sz_permil,nr_accesses_permil,age_permil │ │ │ │ │ │ │ watermarks/metric,interval_us,high,mid,low │ │ │ │ │ │ │ stats/nr_tried,sz_tried,nr_applied,sz_applied,qt_exceeds │ │ │ │ │ │ ... │ │ │ │ ... │ │ ... Detailed usage of the files will be described in the final Documentation patch of this patchset. Main Difference Between DAMON_DBGFS and DAMON_SYSFS --------------------------------------------------- At the moment, DAMON_DBGFS and DAMON_SYSFS provides same features. One important difference between them is their exclusiveness. DAMON_DBGFS works in an exclusive manner, so that no DAMON worker thread (kdamond) in the system can run concurrently and interfere somehow. For the reason, DAMON_DBGFS asks users to construct all monitoring contexts and start them at once. It's not a big problem but makes the operation a little bit complex and unflexible. For more flexible usage, DAMON_SYSFS moves the responsibility of preventing any possible interference to the admins and work in a non-exclusive manner. That is, users can configure and start contexts one by one. Note that DAMON respects both exclusive groups and non-exclusive groups of contexts, in a manner similar to that of reader-writer locks. That is, if any exclusive monitoring contexts (e.g., contexts that started via DAMON_DBGFS) are running, DAMON_SYSFS does not start new contexts, and vice versa. Future Plan of DAMON_DBGFS Deprecation ====================================== Once this patchset is merged, DAMON_DBGFS development will be frozen. That is, we will maintain it to work as is now so that no users will be break. But, it will not be extended to provide any new feature of DAMON. The support will be continued only until next LTS release. After that, we will drop DAMON_DBGFS. User-space Tooling Compatibility -------------------------------- As DAMON_SYSFS provides all features of DAMON_DBGFS, all user space tooling can move to DAMON_SYSFS. As we will continue supporting DAMON_DBGFS until next LTS kernel release, user space tools would have enough time to move to DAMON_SYSFS. The official user space tool, damo[1], is already supporting both DAMON_SYSFS and DAMON_DBGFS. Both correctness tests[2] and performance tests[3] of DAMON using DAMON_SYSFS also passed. [1] https://github.com/awslabs/damo [2] https://github.com/awslabs/damon-tests/tree/master/corr [3] https://github.com/awslabs/damon-tests/tree/master/perf Sequence of Patches =================== First two patches (patches 1-2) make core changes for DAMON_SYSFS. The first one (patch 1) allows non-exclusive DAMON contexts so that DAMON_SYSFS can work in non-exclusive mode, while the second one (patch 2) adds size of DAMON enum types so that DAMON API users can safely iterate the enums. Third patch (patch 3) implements basic sysfs stub for virtual address spaces monitoring. Note that this implements only sysfs files and DAMON is not linked. Fourth patch (patch 4) links the DAMON_SYSFS to DAMON so that users can control DAMON using the sysfs files. Following six patches (patches 5-10) implements other DAMON features that DAMON_DBGFS supports one by one (physical address space monitoring, DAMON-based operation schemes, schemes quotas, schemes prioritization weights, schemes watermarks, and schemes stats). Following patch (patch 11) adds a simple selftest for DAMON_SYSFS, and the final one (patch 12) documents DAMON_SYSFS. This patch (of 13): To avoid interference between DAMON contexts monitoring overlapping memory regions, damon_start() works in an exclusive manner. That is, damon_start() does nothing bug fails if any context that started by another instance of the function is still running. This makes its usage a little bit restrictive. However, admins could aware each DAMON usage and address such interferences on their own in some cases. This commit hence implements non-exclusive mode of the function and allows the callers to select the mode. Note that the exclusive groups and non-exclusive groups of contexts will respect each other in a manner similar to that of reader-writer locks. Therefore, this commit will not cause any behavioral change to the exclusive groups.

Before DAMON is merged in the mainline, the concept of 'regions update interval' has generalized to be used as the time interval for update of any monitoring operations related data structure, but the document has not updated properly. This commit updates the document for better consistency. Link: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20220222170100.17068-4-sj@kernel.orgSigned-off-by:

In DAMON's early development stage before it be merged in the mainline, it was first designed to work exclusively with Idle page tracking to avoid any interference between each other. 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. Link: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20220222170100.17068-3-sj@kernel.orgSigned-off-by:

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.

Because DAMON debugfs interface and DAMON-based proactive reclaim are now using monitoring operations via registration mechanism, damon_{p,v}a_{target_valid,set_operations}() functions have no user. This commit clean them up. Link: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20220215184603.1479-9-sj@kernel.orgSigned-off-by: -

DAMON kunit tests for DAMON debugfs interface fails because it still assumes setting empty monitoring operations makes DAMON debugfs interface believe the target of the context don't have pid. This commit fixes the kunit test fails by explicitly setting the context's monitoring operations with the operations for the physical address space, which let debugfs knows the target will not have pid.

DAMON debugfs interface depends on monitoring operations for virtual address spaces because it knows if the target has pid or not by seeing if the context is configured to use one of the virtual address space monitoring operation functions. We can replace that check with 'enum damon_ops_id' now, to make it independent. This commit makes the change. Link: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20220215184603.1479-7-sj@kernel.orgSigned-off-by:

This commit makes DAMON debugfs interface to select the registered monitoring operations for the physical address space or virtual address spaces depending on user requests instead of setting it on its own. Note that DAMON debugfs interface is still dependent to DAMON_VADDR with this change, because it is also using its symbol, 'damon_va_target_valid'.

This commit makes DAMON_RECLAIM to select the registered monitoring operations for the physical address space instead of setting it on its own. This allows DAMON_RECLAIM be independent of DAMON_PADDR, but leave the dependency as is, because it's the only one monitoring operations it use, and therefore it makes no sense to build DAMON_RECLAIM without DAMON_PADDR.
