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.

Add a note briefly mentioning the new policy about "skipping currently covered allocations if pool close to full."

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 has served its purpose and is no longer used. All usercopy violations appear to have been handled by now, any remaining instances (or new bugs) will cause copies to be rejected. This isn't a direct revert of commit 2d891fbc ("usercopy: Allow strict enforcement of whitelists"); since usercopy_fallback is effectively 0, the fallback handling is removed too. This also removes the usercopy_fallback module parameter on slab_common.

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.

During migration special page table entries are installed for each page being migrated. These entries store the pfn and associated permissions of ptes mapping the page being migarted. Device-private pages use special swap pte entries to distinguish read-only vs. writeable pages which the migration code checks when creating migration entries. Normally this follows a fast path in migrate_vma_collect_pmd() which correctly copies the permissions of device-private pages over to migration entries when migrating pages back to the CPU. However the slow-path falls back to using try_to_migrate() which unconditionally creates read-only migration entries for device-private pages. This leads to unnecessary double faults on the CPU as the new pages are always mapped read-only even when they could be mapped writeable. Fix this by correctly copying device-private permissions in try_to_migrate_one(). Link: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20211018045247.3128058-1-apopple@nvidia.comSigned-off-by:

Let's add a flag that corresponds to IORESOURCE_SYSRAM_DRIVER_MANAGED, indicating that we're dealing with a memory region that is never indicated in the firmware-provided memory map, but always detected and added by a driver. Similar to MEMBLOCK_HOTPLUG, most infrastructure has to treat such memory regions like ordinary MEMBLOCK_NONE memory regions -- for example, when selecting memory regions to add to the vmcore for dumping in the crashkernel via for_each_mem_range(). However, especially kexec_file is not supposed to select such memblocks via for_each_free_mem_range() / for_each_free_mem_range_reverse() to place kexec images, similar to how we handle IORESOURCE_SYSRAM_DRIVER_MANAGED without CONFIG_ARCH_KEEP_MEMBLOCK. We'll make sure that memory hotplug code sets the flag where applicable (IORESOURCE_SYSRAM_DRIVER_MANAGED) next. This prepares architectures that need CONFIG_ARCH_KEEP_MEMBLOCK, such as arm64, for virtio-mem support. Note that kexec *must not* indicate this memory to the second kernel and *must not* place kexec-images on this memory. Let's add a comment to kexec_walk_memblock(), documenting how we handle MEMBLOCK_DRIVER_MANAGED now just like using IORESOURCE_SYSRAM_DRIVER_MANAGED in locate_mem_hole_callback() for kexec_walk_resources(). Also note that MEMBLOCK_HOTPLUG cannot be reused due to different semantics: MEMBLOCK_HOTPLUG: memory is indicated as "System RAM" in the firmware-provided memory map and added to the system early during boot; kexec *has to* indicate this memory to the second kernel and can place kexec-images on this memory. After memory hotunplug, kexec has to be re-armed. We mostly ignore this flag when "movable_node" is not set on the kernel command line, because then we're told to not care about hotunpluggability of such memory regions. MEMBLOCK_DRIVER_MANAGED: memory is not indicated as "System RAM" in the firmware-provided memory map; this memory is always detected and added to the system by a driver; memory might not actually be physically hotunpluggable. kexec *must not* indicate this memory to the second kernel and *must not* place kexec-images on this memory.

We want to specify flags when hotplugging memory. Let's prepare to pass flags to memblock_add_node() by adjusting all existing users. Note that when hotplugging memory the system is already up and running and we might have concurrent memblock users: for example, while we're hotplugging memory, kexec_file code might search for suitable memory regions to place kexec images. It's important to add the memory directly to memblock via a single call with the right flags, instead of adding the memory first and apply flags later: otherwise, concurrent memblock users might temporarily stumble over memblocks with wrong flags, which will be important in a follow-up patch that introduces a new flag to properly handle add_memory_driver_managed().

The description of MEMBLOCK_HOTPLUG is currently short and consequently misleading: we're actually dealing with a memory region that might get hotunplugged later (i.e., the platform+firmware supports it), yet it is indicated in the firmware-provided memory map as system ram that will just get used by the system for any purpose when not taking special care. The firmware marked this memory region as a hot(un)plugged (e.g., hotplugged before reboot), implying that it might get hotunplugged again later. Whether we consider this information depends on the "movable_node" kernel commandline parameter: only with "movable_node" set, we'll try keeping this memory hotunpluggable, for example, by not serving early allocations from this memory region and by letting the buddy manage it using the ZONE_MOVABLE. Let's make this clearer by extending the documentation. Note: kexec *has to* indicate this memory to the second kernel. With "movable_node" set, we don't want to place kexec-images on this memory. Without "movable_node" set, we don't care and can place kexec-images on this memory. In both cases, after successful memory hotunplug, kexec has to be re-armed to update the memory map for the second kernel and to place the kexec-images somewhere else.

Patch series "mm/memory_hotplug: full support for add_memory_driver_managed() with CONFIG_ARCH_KEEP_MEMBLOCK", v2. Architectures that require CONFIG_ARCH_KEEP_MEMBLOCK=y, such as arm64, don't cleanly support add_memory_driver_managed() yet. Most prominently, kexec_file can still end up placing kexec images on such driver-managed memory, resulting in undesired behavior, for example, having kexec images located on memory not part of the firmware-provided memory map. Teaching kexec to not place images on driver-managed memory is especially relevant for virtio-mem. Details can be found in commit 7b7b2721 ("mm/memory_hotplug: introduce add_memory_driver_managed()"). Extend memblock with a new flag and set it from memory hotplug code when applicable. This is required to fully support virtio-mem on arm64, making also kexec_file behave like on x86-64. This patch (of 2): If memblock_add_node() fails, we're most probably running out of memory. While this is unlikely to happen, it can happen and having memory added without a memblock can be problematic for architectures that use memblock to detect valid memory. Let's fail in a nice way instead of silently ignoring the error.

32 bit support is broken in various ways: for example, we can online memory that should actually go to ZONE_HIGHMEM to ZONE_MOVABLE or in some cases even to one of the other kernel zones. We marked it BROKEN in commit b59d02ed ("mm/memory_hotplug: disable the functionality for 32b") almost one year ago. According to that commit it might be broken at least since 2017. Further, there is hardly a sane use case nowadays. Let's just depend completely on 64bit, dropping the "BROKEN" dependency to make clear that we are not going to support it again. Next, we'll remove some HIGHMEM leftovers from memory hotplug code to clean up. Link: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20210929143600.49379-4-david@redhat.comSigned-off-by:

Patch series "mm/memory_hotplug: Kconfig and 32 bit cleanups". Some cleanups around CONFIG_MEMORY_HOTPLUG, including removing 32 bit leftovers of memory hotplug support. This patch (of 6): SPARSEMEM is the only possible memory model for x86-64, FLATMEM is not possible: config ARCH_FLATMEM_ENABLE def_bool y depends on X86_32 && !NUMA And X86_64_ACPI_NUMA (obviously) only supports x86-64: config X86_64_ACPI_NUMA def_bool y depends on X86_64 && NUMA && ACPI && PCI Let's just remove the CONFIG_X86_64_ACPI_NUMA dependency, as it does no longer make sense.

Commit e83a437f ("mm/memory_hotplug: introduce "auto-movable" online policy") introduced a new memory online policy to automatically select a zone for memory blocks to be onlined. It added a way to set the active online policy and tunables for the auto-movable online policy. Follow-up commits tweaked the "auto-movable" policy to also consider memory device details when selecting zones for memory blocks to be onlined. Let's document the new toggles and how the two online policies we have work.
