This makes the 'damon-dbgfs' to support the physical memory monitoring, in addition to the virtual memory monitoring. Users can do the physical memory monitoring by writing a special keyword, 'paddr' to the 'target_ids' debugfs file. Then, DAMON will check the special keyword and configure the monitoring context to run with the primitives for the physical address space. Unlike the virtual memory monitoring, the monitoring target region will not be automatically set. Therefore, users should also set the monitoring target address region using the 'init_regions' debugfs file. Also, note that the physical memory monitoring will not automatically terminated. The user should explicitly turn off the monitoring by writing 'off' to the 'monitor_on' debugfs file. Link: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20211012205711.29216-7-sj@kernel.orgSigned-off-by:

This implements the monitoring primitives for the physical memory address space. Internally, it uses the PTE Accessed bit, similar to that of the virtual address spaces monitoring primitives. It supports only user memory pages, as idle pages tracking does. If the monitoring target physical memory address range contains non-user memory pages, access check of the pages will do nothing but simply treat the pages as not accessed.

Patch series "DAMON: Support Physical Memory Address Space Monitoring:. DAMON currently supports only virtual address spaces monitoring. It can be easily extended for various use cases and address spaces by configuring its monitoring primitives layer to use appropriate primitives implementations, though. This patchset implements monitoring primitives for the physical address space monitoring using the structure. The first 3 patches allow the user space users manually set the monitoring regions. The 1st patch implements the feature in the 'damon-dbgfs'. Then, patches for adding a unit tests (the 2nd patch) and updating the documentation (the 3rd patch) follow. Following 4 patches implement the physical address space monitoring primitives. The 4th patch makes some primitive functions for the virtual address spaces primitives reusable. The 5th patch implements the physical address space monitoring primitives. The 6th patch links the primitives to the 'damon-dbgfs'. Finally, 7th patch documents this new features. This patch (of 7): Some 'damon-dbgfs' users would want to monitor only a part of the entire virtual memory address space. The program interface users in the kernel space could use '->before_start()' callback or set the regions inside the context struct as they want, but 'damon-dbgfs' users cannot. For that reason, this introduces a new debugfs file called 'init_region'. 'damon-dbgfs' users can specify which initial monitoring target address regions they want by writing special input to the file. The input should describe each region in each line in the below form: <pid> <start address> <end address> Note that the regions will be updated to cover entire memory mapped regions after a 'regions update interval' is passed. If you want the regions to not be updated after the initial setting, you could set the interval as a very long time, say, a few decades.

To tune the DAMON-based operation schemes, knowing how many and how large regions are affected by each of the schemes will be helful. Those stats could be used for not only the tuning, but also monitoring of the working set size and the number of regions, if the scheme does not change the program behavior too much. For the reason, this implements the statistics for the schemes. The total number and size of the regions that each scheme is applied are exported to users via '->stat_count' and '->stat_sz' of 'struct damos'. Admins can also check the number by reading 'schemes' debugfs file. The last two integers now represents the stats. To allow collecting the stats without changing the program behavior, this also adds new scheme action, 'DAMOS_STAT'. Note that 'DAMOS_STAT' is not only making no memory operation actions, but also does not reset the age of regions. Link: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20211001125604.29660-6-sj@kernel.orgSigned-off-by:

This makes DAMON's default primitives for virtual address spaces to support DAMON-based Operation Schemes (DAMOS) by implementing actions application functions and registering it to the monitoring context. The implementation simply links 'madvise()' for related DAMOS actions. That is, 'madvise(MADV_WILLNEED)' is called for 'WILLNEED' DAMOS action and similar for other actions ('COLD', 'PAGEOUT', 'HUGEPAGE', 'NOHUGEPAGE'). So, the kernel space DAMON users can now use the DAMON-based optimizations with only small amount of code. Link: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20211001125604.29660-4-sj@kernel.orgSigned-off-by: -

In many cases, users might use DAMON for simple data access aware memory management optimizations such as applying an operation scheme to a memory region of a specific size having a specific access frequency for a specific time. For example, "page out a memory region larger than 100 MiB but having a low access frequency more than 10 minutes", or "Use THP for a memory region larger than 2 MiB having a high access frequency for more than 2 seconds". Most simple form of the solution would be doing offline data access pattern profiling using DAMON and modifying the application source code or system configuration based on the profiling results. Or, developing a daemon constructed with two modules (one for access monitoring and the other for applying memory management actions via mlock(), madvise(), sysctl, etc) is imaginable. To avoid users spending their time for implementation of such simple data access monitoring-based operation schemes, this makes DAMON to handle such schemes directly. With this change, users can simply specify their desired schemes to DAMON. Then, DAMON will automatically apply the schemes to the user-specified target processes. Each of the schemes is composed with conditions for filtering of the target memory regions and desired memory management action for the target. Specifically, the format is:: <min/max size> <min/max access frequency> <min/max age> <action> The filtering conditions are size of memory region, number of accesses to the region monitored by DAMON, and the age of the region. The age of region is incremented periodically but reset when its addresses or access frequency has significantly changed or the action of a scheme was applied. For the action, current implementation supports a few of madvise()-like hints, ``WILLNEED``, ``COLD``, ``PAGEOUT``, ``HUGEPAGE``, and ``NOHUGEPAGE``. Because DAMON supports various address spaces and application of the actions to a monitoring target region is dependent to the type of the target address space, the application code should be implemented by each primitives and registered to the framework. Note that this only implements the framework part. Following commit will implement the action applications for virtual address spaces primitives.

Patch series "Implement Data Access Monitoring-based Memory Operation Schemes". Introduction ============ DAMON[1] can be used as a primitive for data access aware memory management optimizations. For that, users who want such optimizations should run DAMON, read the monitoring results, analyze it, plan a new memory management scheme, and apply the new scheme by themselves. Such efforts will be inevitable for some complicated optimizations. However, in many other cases, the users would simply want the system to apply a memory management action to a memory region of a specific size having a specific access frequency for a specific time. For example, "page out a memory region larger than 100 MiB keeping only rare accesses more than 2 minutes", or "Do not use THP for a memory region larger than 2 MiB rarely accessed for more than 1 seconds". To make the works easier and non-redundant, this patchset implements a new feature of DAMON, which is called Data Access Monitoring-based Operation Schemes (DAMOS). Using the feature, users can describe the normal schemes in a simple way and ask DAMON to execute those on its own. [1] https://damonitor.github.io Evaluations =========== DAMOS is accurate and useful for memory management optimizations. An experimental DAMON-based operation scheme for THP, 'ethp', removes 76.15% of THP memory overheads while preserving 51.25% of THP speedup. Another experimental DAMON-based 'proactive reclamation' implementation, 'prcl', reduces 93.38% of residential sets and 23.63% of system memory footprint while incurring only 1.22% runtime overhead in the best case (parsec3/freqmine). NOTE that the experimental THP optimization and proactive reclamation are not for production but only for proof of concepts. Please refer to the showcase web site's evaluation document[1] for detailed evaluation setup and results. [1] https://damonitor.github.io/doc/html/v34/vm/damon/eval.html Long-term Support Trees ----------------------- For people who want to test DAMON but using LTS kernels, there are another couple of trees based on two latest LTS kernels respectively and containing the 'damon/master' backports. - For v5.4.y: https://git.kernel.org/sj/h/damon/for-v5.4.y - For v5.10.y: https://git.kernel.org/sj/h/damon/for-v5.10.y Sequence Of Patches =================== The 1st patch accounts age of each region. The 2nd patch implements the core of the DAMON-based operation schemes feature. The 3rd patch makes the default monitoring primitives for virtual address spaces to support the schemes. From this point, the kernel space users can use DAMOS. The 4th patch exports the feature to the user space via the debugfs interface. The 5th patch implements schemes statistics feature for easier tuning of the schemes and runtime access pattern analysis, and the 6th patch adds selftests for these changes. Finally, the 7th patch documents this new feature. This patch (of 7): DAMON can be used for data access pattern aware memory management optimizations. For that, users should run DAMON, read the monitoring results, analyze it, plan a new memory management scheme, and apply the new scheme by themselves. It would not be too hard, but still require some level of effort. For complicated cases, this effort is inevitable. That said, in many cases, users would simply want to apply an actions to a memory region of a specific size having a specific access frequency for a specific time. For example, "page out a memory region larger than 100 MiB but having a low access frequency more than 10 minutes", or "Use THP for a memory region larger than 2 MiB having a high access frequency for more than 2 seconds". For such optimizations, users will need to first account the age of each region themselves. To reduce such efforts, this implements a simple age account of each region in DAMON. For each aggregation step, DAMON compares the access frequency with that from last aggregation and reset the age of the region if the change is significant. Else, the age is incremented. Also, in case of the merge of regions, the region size-weighted average of the ages is set as the age of merged new region.

We have observed that on very large machines with newer CPUs, the static key/branch switching delay is on the order of milliseconds. This is due to the required broadcast IPIs, which simply does not scale well to hundreds of CPUs (cores). If done too frequently, this can adversely affect tail latencies of various workloads. One workaround is to increase the sample interval to several seconds, while decreasing sampled allocation coverage, but the problem still exists and could still increase tail latencies. As already noted in the Kconfig help text, there are trade-offs: at lower sample intervals the dynamic branch results in better performance; however, at very large sample intervals, the static keys mode can result in better performance -- careful benchmarking is recommended. Our initial benchmarking showed that with large enough sample intervals and workloads stressing the allocator, the static keys mode was slightly better. Evaluating and observing the possible system-wide side-effects of the static-key-switching induced broadcast IPIs, however, was a blind spot (in particular on large machines with 100s of cores). Therefore, a major downside of the static keys mode is, unfortunately, that it is hard to predict performance on new system architectures and topologies, but also making conclusions about performance of new workloads based on a limited set of benchmarks. Most distributions will simply select the defaults, while targeting a large variety of different workloads and system architectures. As such, the better default is CONFIG_KFENCE_STATIC_KEYS=n, and re-enabling it is only recommended after careful evaluation. For reference, on x86-64 the condition in kfence_alloc() generates exactly 2 instructions in the kmem_cache_alloc() fast-path: | ... | cmpl $0x0,0x1a8021c(%rip) # ffffffff82d560d0 <kfence_allocation_gate> | je ffffffff812d6003 <kmem_cache_alloc+0x243> | ... which, given kfence_allocation_gate is infrequently modified, should be well predicted by most CPUs.

Regardless of KFENCE mode (CONFIG_KFENCE_STATIC_KEYS: either using static keys to gate allocations, or using a simple dynamic branch), always use a static branch to avoid the dynamic branch in kfence_alloc() if KFENCE was disabled at boot. For CONFIG_KFENCE_STATIC_KEYS=n, this now avoids the dynamic branch if KFENCE was disabled at boot. To simplify, also unifies the location where kfence_allocation_gate is read-checked to just be inline in kfence_alloc().

Initializing memory and setting/checking the canary bytes is relatively expensive, and doing so in the meta->lock critical sections extends the duration with preemption and interrupts disabled unnecessarily. Any reads to meta->addr and meta->size in kfence_guarded_alloc() and kfence_guarded_free() don't require locking meta->lock as long as the object is removed from the freelist: only kfence_guarded_alloc() sets meta->addr and meta->size after removing it from the freelist, which requires a preceding kfence_guarded_free() returning it to the list or the initial state. Therefore move reads to meta->addr and meta->size, including expensive memory initialization using them, out of meta->lock critical sections.

One of KFENCE's main design principles is that with increasing uptime, allocation coverage increases sufficiently to detect previously undetected bugs. We have observed that frequent long-lived allocations of the same source (e.g. pagecache) tend to permanently fill up the KFENCE pool with increasing system uptime, thus breaking the above requirement. The workaround thus far had been increasing the sample interval and/or increasing the KFENCE pool size, but is no reliable solution. To ensure diverse coverage of allocations, limit currently covered allocations of the same source once pool utilization reaches 75% (configurable via `kfence.skip_covered_thresh`) or above. The effect is retaining reasonable allocation coverage when the pool is close to full. A side-effect is that this also limits frequent long-lived allocations of the same source filling up the pool permanently. Uniqueness of an allocation for coverage purposes is based on its (partial) allocation stack trace (the source). A Counting Bloom filter is used to check if an allocation is covered; if the allocation is currently covered, the allocation is skipped by KFENCE. Testing was done using: (a) a synthetic workload that performs frequent long-lived allocations (default config values; sample_interval=1; num_objects=63), and (b) normal desktop workloads on an otherwise idle machine where the problem was first reported after a few days of uptime (default config values). In both test cases the sampled allocation rate no longer drops to zero at any point. In the case of (b) we observe (after 2 days uptime) 15% unique allocations in the pool, 77% pool utilization, with 20% "skipped allocations (covered)".

filter_irq_stacks() has little to do with the stackdepot implementation, except that it is usually used by users (such as KASAN) of stackdepot to reduce the stack trace. However, filter_irq_stacks() itself is not useful without a stack trace as obtained by stack_trace_save() and friends. Therefore, move filter_irq_stacks() to kernel/stacktrace.c, so that new users of filter_irq_stacks() do not have to start depending on STACKDEPOT only for filter_irq_stacks().

nr_free_buffer_pages could be exposed through mm.h instead of swap.h. The advantage of this change is that it can reduce the obsolete includes. For example, net/ipv4/tcp.c wouldn't need swap.h any more since it has already included mm.h. Similarly, after checking all the other files, it comes that tcp.c, udp.c meter.c ,... follow the same rule, so these files can have swap.h removed too. Moreover, after preprocessing all the files that use nr_free_buffer_pages, it turns out that those files have already included mm.h.Thus, we can move nr_free_buffer_pages from swap.h to mm.h safely. This change will not affect the compilation of other files. Link: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20210912133640.1624-1-liumh1@shanghaitech.edu.cnSigned-off-by:

This change introduces an aged idle interface to the existing idle sysfs file for zram. When CONFIG_ZRAM_MEMORY_TRACKING is enabled the idle file now also accepts an integer argument. This integer is the age (in seconds) of pages to mark as idle. The idle file still supports 'all' as it always has. This new approach allows for much more control over which pages get marked as idle.

snprintf() returns the number of bytes it would have printed if there were space. But it does not count the NUL terminator. So that means that if "count == copied" then this has already overflowed by one character. This bug likely isn't super harmful in real life.

The read_from_bdev_async is not called on atomic context. So GFP_NOIO is available rather than GFP_ATOMIC. If there were reclaimable pages with GFP_NOIO, we can avoid allocation failure and page fault failure. Link: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20210908005241.28062-1-jaewon31.kim@samsung.comSigned-off-by:

kmap_atomic() is being deprecated in favor of kmap_local_page(). Replace the uses of kmap_atomic() within the highmem code. On profiling clear_huge_page() using ftrace an improvement of 62% was observed on the below setup. Setup:- Below data has been collected on Qualcomm's SM7250 SoC THP enabled (kernel v4.19.113) with only CPU-0(Cortex-A55) and CPU-7(Cortex-A76) switched on and set to max frequency, also DDR set to perf governor. FTRACE Data:- Base data:- Number of iterations: 48 Mean of allocation time: 349.5 us std deviation: 74.5 us v4 data:- Number of iterations: 48 Mean of allocation time: 131 us std deviation: 32.7 us The following simple userspace experiment to allocate 100MB(BUF_SZ) of pages and writing to it gave us a good insight, we observed an improvement of 42% in allocation and writing timings. ------------------------------------------------------------- Test code snippet ------------------------------------------------------------- clock_start(); buf = malloc(BUF_SZ); /* Allocate 100 MB of memory */ for(i=0; i < BUF_SZ_PAGES; i++) { *((int *)(buf + (i*PAGE_SIZE))) = 1; } clock_end(); ------------------------------------------------------------- Malloc test timings for 100MB anon allocation:- Base data:- Number of iterations: 100 Mean of allocation time: 31831 us std deviation: 4286 us v4 data:- Number of iterations: 100 Mean of allocation time: 18193 us std deviation: 4915 us [willy@infradead.org: fix zero_user_segments()] Link: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/YYVhHCJcm2DM2G9u@casper.infradead.org Link: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20210204073255.20769-2-prathu.baronia@oneplus.comSigned-off-by:Ira Weiny <ira.weiny@intel.com> Signed-off-by:
