Pull arm64 fixes from Will Deacon: "A larger-than-usual batch of arm64 fixes for -rc3. The bulk of the fixes are dealing with a bunch of issues with the build system from the compat vDSO, which unfortunately led to some significant Makefile rework to manage the horrible combinations of toolchains that we can end up needing to drive simultaneously. We came close to disabling the thing entirely, but Vincenzo was quick to spin up some patches and I ended up picking up most of the bits that were left [*]. Future work will look at disentangling the header files properly. Other than that, we have some important fixes all over, including one papering over the miscompilation fallout from forcing CONFIG_OPTIMIZE_INLINING=y, which I'm still unhappy about. Harumph. We've still got a couple of open issues, so I'm expecting to have some more fixes later this cycle. Summary: - Numerous fixes to the compat vDSO build system, especially when combining gcc and clang - Fix parsing of PAR_EL1 in spurious kernel fault detection - Partial workaround for Neoverse-N1 erratum #1542419 - Fix IRQ priority masking on entry from compat syscalls - Fix advertisment of FRINT HWCAP to userspace - Attempt to workaround inlining breakage with '__always_inline' - Fix accidental freeing of parent SVE state on fork() error path - Add some missing NULL pointer checks in instruction emulation init - Some formatting and comment fixes" [*] Will's final fixes were Reviewed-by:Vincenzo Frascino <vincenzo.frascino@arm.com> Tested-by:

In most configurations, kmalloc() happens to return naturally aligned (i.e. aligned to the block size itself) blocks for power of two sizes. That means some kmalloc() users might unknowingly rely on that alignment, until stuff breaks when the kernel is built with e.g. CONFIG_SLUB_DEBUG or CONFIG_SLOB, and blocks stop being aligned. Then developers have to devise workaround such as own kmem caches with specified alignment [1], which is not always practical, as recently evidenced in [2]. The topic has been discussed at LSF/MM 2019 [3]. Adding a 'kmalloc_aligned()' variant would not help with code unknowingly relying on the implicit alignment. For slab implementations it would either require creating more kmalloc caches, or allocate a larger size and only give back part of it. That would be wasteful, especially with a generic alignment parameter (in contrast with a fixed alignment to size). Ideally we should provide to mm users what they need without difficult workarounds or own reimplementations, so let's make the kmalloc() alignment to size explicitly guaranteed for power-of-two sizes under all configurations. What this means for the three available allocators? * SLAB object layout happens to be mostly unchanged by the patch. The implicitly provided alignment could be compromised with CONFIG_DEBUG_SLAB due to redzoning, however SLAB disables redzoning for caches with alignment larger than unsigned long long. Practically on at least x86 this includes kmalloc caches as they use cache line alignment, which is larger than that. Still, this patch ensures alignment on all arches and cache sizes. * SLUB layout is also unchanged unless redzoning is enabled through CONFIG_SLUB_DEBUG and boot parameter for the particular kmalloc cache. With this patch, explicit alignment is guaranteed with redzoning as well. This will result in more memory being wasted, but that should be acceptable in a debugging scenario. * SLOB has no implicit alignment so this patch adds it explicitly for kmalloc(). The potential downside is increased fragmentation. While pathological allocation scenarios are certainly possible, in my testing, after booting a x86_64 kernel+userspace with virtme, around 16MB memory was consumed by slab pages both before and after the patch, with difference in the noise.

Patch series "guarantee natural alignment for kmalloc()", v2. This patch (of 2): SLOB currently doesn't account its pages at all, so in /proc/meminfo the Slab field shows zero. Modifying a counter on page allocation and freeing should be acceptable even for the small system scenarios SLOB is intended for. Since reclaimable caches are not separated in SLOB, account everything as unreclaimable. SLUB currently doesn't account kmalloc() and kmalloc_node() allocations larger than order-1 page, that are passed directly to the page allocator. As they also don't appear in /proc/slabinfo, it might look like a memory leak. For consistency, account them as well. (SLAB doesn't actually use page allocator directly, so no change there). Ideally SLOB and SLUB would be handled in separate patches, but due to the shared kmalloc_order() function and different kfree() implementations, it's easier to patch both at once to prevent inconsistencies.

This patch is an incremental improvement on the existing memory.{low,min} relative reclaim work to base its scan pressure calculations on how much protection is available compared to the current usage, rather than how much the current usage is over some protection threshold. This change doesn't change the experience for the user in the normal case too much. One benefit is that it replaces the (somewhat arbitrary) 100% cutoff with an indefinite slope, which makes it easier to ballpark a memory.low value. As well as this, the old methodology doesn't quite apply generically to machines with varying amounts of physical memory. Let's say we have a top level cgroup, workload.slice, and another top level cgroup, system-management.slice. We want to roughly give 12G to system-management.slice, so on a 32GB machine we set memory.low to 20GB in workload.slice, and on a 64GB machine we set memory.low to 52GB. However, because these are relative amounts to the total machine size, while the amount of memory we want to generally be willing to yield to system.slice is absolute (12G), we end up putting more pressure on system.slice just because we have a larger machine and a larger workload to fill it, which seems fairly unintuitive. With this new behaviour, we don't end up with this unintended side effect. Previously the way that memory.low protection works is that if you are 50% over a certain baseline, you get 50% of your normal scan pressure. This is certainly better than the previous cliff-edge behaviour, but it can be improved even further by always considering memory under the currently enforced protection threshold to be out of bounds. This means that we can set relatively low memory.low thresholds for variable or bursty workloads while still getting a reasonable level of protection, whereas with the previous version we may still trivially hit the 100% clamp. The previous 100% clamp is also somewhat arbitrary, whereas this one is more concretely based on the currently enforced protection threshold, which is likely easier to reason about. There is also a subtle issue with the way that proportional reclaim worked previously -- it promotes having no memory.low, since it makes pressure higher during low reclaim. This happens because we base our scan pressure modulation on how far memory.current is between memory.min and memory.low, but if memory.low is unset, we only use the overage method. In most cromulent configurations, this then means that we end up with *more* pressure than with no memory.low at all when we're in low reclaim, which is not really very usable or expected. With this patch, memory.low and memory.min affect reclaim pressure in a more understandable and composable way. For example, from a user standpoint, "protected" memory now remains untouchable from a reclaim aggression standpoint, and users can also have more confidence that bursty workloads will still receive some amount of guaranteed protection.

Roman points out that when when we do the low reclaim pass, we scale the reclaim pressure relative to position between 0 and the maximum protection threshold. However, if the maximum protection is based on memory.elow, and memory.emin is above zero, this means we still may get binary behaviour on second-pass low reclaim. This is because we scale starting at 0, not starting at memory.emin, and since we don't scan at all below emin, we end up with cliff behaviour. This should be a fairly uncommon case since usually we don't go into the second pass, but it makes sense to scale our low reclaim pressure starting at emin. You can test this by catting two large sparse files, one in a cgroup with emin set to some moderate size compared to physical RAM, and another cgroup without any emin. In both cgroups, set an elow larger than 50% of physical RAM. The one with emin will have less page scanning, as reclaim pressure is lower. Rebase on top of and apply the same idea as what was applied to handle cgroup_memory=disable properly for the original proportional patch http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20190201045711.GA18302@chrisdown.name ("mm, memcg: Handle cgroup_disable=memory when getting memcg protection").

cgroup v2 introduces two memory protection thresholds: memory.low (best-effort) and memory.min (hard protection). While they generally do what they say on the tin, there is a limitation in their implementation that makes them difficult to use effectively: that cliff behaviour often manifests when they become eligible for reclaim. This patch implements more intuitive and usable behaviour, where we gradually mount more reclaim pressure as cgroups further and further exceed their protection thresholds. This cliff edge behaviour happens because we only choose whether or not to reclaim based on whether the memcg is within its protection limits (see the use of mem_cgroup_protected in shrink_node), but we don't vary our reclaim behaviour based on this information. Imagine the following timeline, with the numbers the lruvec size in this zone: 1. memory.low=1000000, memory.current=999999. 0 pages may be scanned. 2. memory.low=1000000, memory.current=1000000. 0 pages may be scanned. 3. memory.low=1000000, memory.current=1000001. 1000001* pages may be scanned. (?!) * Of course, we won't usually scan all available pages in the zone even without this patch because of scan control priority, over-reclaim protection, etc. However, as shown by the tests at the end, these techniques don't sufficiently throttle such an extreme change in input, so cliff-like behaviour isn't really averted by their existence alone. Here's an example of how this plays out in practice. At Facebook, we are trying to protect various workloads from "system" software, like configuration management tools, metric collectors, etc (see this[0] case study). In order to find a suitable memory.low value, we start by determining the expected memory range within which the workload will be comfortable operating. This isn't an exact science -- memory usage deemed "comfortable" will vary over time due to user behaviour, differences in composition of work, etc, etc. As such we need to ballpark memory.low, but doing this is currently problematic: 1. If we end up setting it too low for the workload, it won't have *any* effect (see discussion above). The group will receive the full weight of reclaim and won't have any priority while competing with the less important system software, as if we had no memory.low configured at all. 2. Because of this behaviour, we end up erring on the side of setting it too high, such that the comfort range is reliably covered. However, protected memory is completely unavailable to the rest of the system, so we might cause undue memory and IO pressure there when we *know* we have some elasticity in the workload. 3. Even if we get the value totally right, smack in the middle of the comfort zone, we get extreme jumps between no pressure and full pressure that cause unpredictable pressure spikes in the workload due to the current binary reclaim behaviour. With this patch, we can set it to our ballpark estimation without too much worry. Any undesirable behaviour, such as too much or too little reclaim pressure on the workload or system will be proportional to how far our estimation is off. This means we can set memory.low much more conservatively and thus waste less resources *without* the risk of the workload falling off a cliff if we overshoot. As a more abstract technical description, this unintuitive behaviour results in having to give high-priority workloads a large protection buffer on top of their expected usage to function reliably, as otherwise we have abrupt periods of dramatically increased memory pressure which hamper performance. Having to set these thresholds so high wastes resources and generally works against the principle of work conservation. In addition, having proportional memory reclaim behaviour has other benefits. Most notably, before this patch it's basically mandatory to set memory.low to a higher than desirable value because otherwise as soon as you exceed memory.low, all protection is lost, and all pages are eligible to scan again. By contrast, having a gradual ramp in reclaim pressure means that you now still get some protection when thresholds are exceeded, which means that one can now be more comfortable setting memory.low to lower values without worrying that all protection will be lost. This is important because workingset size is really hard to know exactly, especially with variable workloads, so at least getting *some* protection if your workingset size grows larger than you expect increases user confidence in setting memory.low without a huge buffer on top being needed. Thanks a lot to Johannes Weiner and Tejun Heo for their advice and assistance in thinking about how to make this work better. In testing these changes, I intended to verify that: 1. Changes in page scanning become gradual and proportional instead of binary. To test this, I experimented stepping further and further down memory.low protection on a workload that floats around 19G workingset when under memory.low protection, watching page scan rates for the workload cgroup: +------------+-----------------+--------------------+--------------+ | memory.low | test (pgscan/s) | control (pgscan/s) | % of control | +------------+-----------------+--------------------+--------------+ | 21G | 0 | 0 | N/A | | 17G | 867 | 3799 | 23% | | 12G | 1203 | 3543 | 34% | | 8G | 2534 | 3979 | 64% | | 4G | 3980 | 4147 | 96% | | 0 | 3799 | 3980 | 95% | +------------+-----------------+--------------------+--------------+ As you can see, the test kernel (with a kernel containing this patch) ramps up page scanning significantly more gradually than the control kernel (without this patch). 2. More gradual ramp up in reclaim aggression doesn't result in premature OOMs. To test this, I wrote a script that slowly increments the number of pages held by stress(1)'s --vm-keep mode until a production system entered severe overall memory contention. This script runs in a highly protected slice taking up the majority of available system memory. Watching vmstat revealed that page scanning continued essentially nominally between test and control, without causing forward reclaim progress to become arrested.

There's a really hard to reproduce race in z3fold between z3fold_free() and z3fold_reclaim_page(). z3fold_reclaim_page() can claim the page after z3fold_free() has checked if the page was claimed and z3fold_free() will then schedule this page for compaction which may in turn lead to random page faults (since that page would have been reclaimed by then). Fix that by claiming page in the beginning of z3fold_free() and not forgetting to clear the claim in the end.

Partially revert 16db3d3f ("kernel/sysctl.c: threads-max observe limits") because the patch is causing a regression to any workload which needs to override the auto-tuning of the limit provided by kernel. set_max_threads is implementing a boot time guesstimate to provide a sensible limit of the concurrently running threads so that runaways will not deplete all the memory. This is a good thing in general but there are workloads which might need to increase this limit for an application to run (reportedly WebSpher MQ is affected) and that is simply not possible after the mentioned change. It is also very dubious to override an admin decision by an estimation that doesn't have any direct relation to correctness of the kernel operation. Fix this by dropping set_max_threads from sysctl_max_threads so any value is accepted as long as it fits into MAX_THREADS which is important to check because allowing more threads could break internal robust futex restriction. While at it, do not use MIN_THREADS as the lower boundary because it is also only a heuristic for automatic estimation and admin might have a good reason to stop new threads to be created even when below this limit. This became more severe when we switched x86 from 4k to 8k kernel stacks. Starting since 6538b8ea ("x86_64: expand kernel stack to 16K") (3.16) we use THREAD_SIZE_ORDER = 2 and that halved the auto-tuned value. In the particular case 3.12 kernel.threads-max = 515561 4.4 kernel.threads-max = 200000 Neither of the two values is really insane on 32GB machine. I am not sure we want/need to tune the max_thread value further. If anything the tuning should be removed altogether if proven not useful in general. But we definitely need a way to override this auto-tuning.

Calling 'panic()' on a kernel with CONFIG_PREEMPT=y can leave the calling CPU in an infinite loop, but with interrupts and preemption enabled. From this state, userspace can continue to be scheduled, despite the system being "dead" as far as the kernel is concerned. This is easily reproducible on arm64 when booting with "nosmp" on the command line; a couple of shell scripts print out a periodic "Ping" message whilst another triggers a crash by writing to /proc/sysrq-trigger: | sysrq: Trigger a crash | Kernel panic - not syncing: sysrq triggered crash | CPU: 0 PID: 1 Comm: init Not tainted 5.2.15 #1 | Hardware name: linux,dummy-virt (DT) | Call trace: | dump_backtrace+0x0/0x148 | show_stack+0x14/0x20 | dump_stack+0xa0/0xc4 | panic+0x140/0x32c | sysrq_handle_reboot+0x0/0x20 | __handle_sysrq+0x124/0x190 | write_sysrq_trigger+0x64/0x88 | proc_reg_write+0x60/0xa8 | __vfs_write+0x18/0x40 | vfs_write+0xa4/0x1b8 | ksys_write+0x64/0xf0 | __arm64_sys_write+0x14/0x20 | el0_svc_common.constprop.0+0xb0/0x168 | el0_svc_handler+0x28/0x78 | el0_svc+0x8/0xc | Kernel Offset: disabled | CPU features: 0x0002,24002004 | Memory Limit: none | ---[ end Kernel panic - not syncing: sysrq triggered crash ]--- | Ping 2! | Ping 1! | Ping 1! | Ping 2!

Unused portion of a part-written fs-block-sized block is not set to zero in unaligned append direct write.This can lead to serious data inconsistencies. Ocfs2 manage disk with cluster size(for example, 1M), part-written in one cluster will change the cluster state from UN-WRITTEN to WRITTEN, VFS(function dio_zero_block) doesn't do the cleaning because bh's state is not set to NEW in function ocfs2_dio_wr_get_block when we write a WRITTEN cluster. For example, the cluster size is 1M, file size is 8k and we direct write from 14k to 15k, then 12k~14k and 15k~16k will contain dirty data. We have to deal with two cases: 1.The starting position of direct write is outside the file. 2.The starting position of direct write is located in the file. We need set bh's state to NEW in the first case. In the second case, we need mapped twice because bh's state of area out file should be set to NEW while area in file not.

In commit 9f79b78e ("Convert filldir[64]() from __put_user() to unsafe_put_user()") I made filldir() use unsafe_put_user(), which improves code generation on x86 enormously. But because we didn't have a "unsafe_copy_to_user()", the dirent name copy was also done by hand with unsafe_put_user() in a loop, and it turns out that a lot of other architectures didn't like that, because unlike x86, they have various alignment issues. Most non-x86 architectures trap and fix it up, and some (like xtensa) will just fail unaligned put_user() accesses unconditionally. Which makes that "copy using put_user() in a loop" not work for them at all. I could make that code do explicit alignment etc, but the architectures that don't like unaligned accesses also don't really use the fancy "user_access_begin/end()" model, so they might just use the regular old __copy_to_user() interface. So this commit takes that looping implementation, turns it into the x86 version of "unsafe_copy_to_user()", and makes other architectures implement the unsafe copy version as __copy_to_user() (the same way they do for the other unsafe_xyz() accessor functions). Note that it only does this for the copying _to_ user space, and we still don't have a unsafe version of copy_from_user(). That's partly because we have no current users of it, but also partly because the copy_from_user() case is slightly different and cannot efficiently be implemented in terms of a unsafe_get_user() loop (because gcc can't do asm goto with outputs). It would be trivial to do this using "rep movsb", which would work really nicely on newer x86 cores, but really badly on some older ones. Al Viro is looking at cleaning up all our user copy routines to make this all a non-issue, but for now we have this simple-but-stupid version for x86 that works fine for the dirent name copy case because those names are short strings and we simply don't need anything fancier.
