Patch series "lib/sort & lib/list_sort: faster and smaller", v2. Because CONFIG_RETPOLINE has made indirect calls much more expensive, I thought I'd try to reduce the number made by the library sort functions. The first three patches apply to lib/sort.c. Patch #1 is a simple optimization. The built-in swap has special cases for aligned 4- and 8-byte objects. But those are almost never used; most calls to sort() work on larger structures, which fall back to the byte-at-a-time loop. This generalizes them to aligned *multiples* of 4 and 8 bytes. (If nothing else, it saves an awful lot of energy by not thrashing the store buffers as much.) Patch #2 grabs a juicy piece of low-hanging fruit. I agree that nice simple solid heapsort is preferable to more complex algorithms (sorry, Andrey), but it's possible to implement heapsort with far fewer comparisons (50% asymptotically, 25-40% reduction for realistic sizes) than the way it's been done up to now. And with some care, the code ends up smaller, as well. This is the "big win" patch. Patch #3 adds the same sort of indirect call bypass that has been added to the net code of late. The great majority of the callers use the builtin swap functions, so replace the indirect call to sort_func with a (highly preditable) series of if() statements. Rather surprisingly, this decreased code size, as the swap functions were inlined and their prologue & epilogue code eliminated. lib/list_sort.c is a bit trickier, as merge sort is already close to optimal, and we don't want to introduce triumphs of theory over practicality like the Ford-Johnson merge-insertion sort. Patch #4, without changing the algorithm, chops 32% off the code size and removes the part[MAX_LIST_LENGTH+1] pointer array (and the corresponding upper limit on efficiently sortable input size). Patch #5 improves the algorithm. The previous code is already optimal for power-of-two (or slightly smaller) size inputs, but when the input size is just over a power of 2, there's a very unbalanced final merge. There are, in the literature, several algorithms which solve this, but they all depend on the "breadth-first" merge order which was replaced by commit 835cc0c8 with a more cache-friendly "depth-first" order. Some hard thinking came up with a depth-first algorithm which defers merges as little as possible while avoiding bad merges. This saves 0.2*n compares, averaged over all sizes. The code size increase is minimal (64 bytes on x86-64, reducing the net savings to 26%), but the comments expanded significantly to document the clever algorithm. TESTING NOTES: I have some ugly user-space benchmarking code which I used for testing before moving this code into the kernel. Shout if you want a copy. I'm running this code right now, with CONFIG_TEST_SORT and CONFIG_TEST_LIST_SORT, but I confess I haven't rebooted since the last round of minor edits to quell checkpatch. I figure there will be at least one round of comments and final testing. This patch (of 5): Rather than having special-case swap functions for 4- and 8-byte objects, special-case aligned multiples of 4 or 8 bytes. This speeds up most users of sort() by avoiding fallback to the byte copy loop. Despite what ca96ab85 ("lib/sort: Add 64 bit swap function") claims, very few users of sort() sort pointers (or pointer-sized objects); most sort structures containing at least two words. (E.g. drivers/acpi/fan.c:acpi_fan_get_fps() sorts an array of 40-byte struct acpi_fan_fps.) The functions also got renamed to reflect the fact that they support multiple words. In the great tradition of bikeshedding, the names were by far the most contentious issue during review of this patch series. x86-64 code size 872 -> 886 bytes (+14) With feedback from Andy Shevchenko, Rasmus Villemoes and Geert Uytterhoeven.

This is a lot more appropriate than PI_LIST, which in the kernel one would assume that it has to do with priority-inheritance; which is not -- furthermore futexes make use of plists so this can be even more confusing, albeit the debug nature of the config option.

The bitmap_remap, _bitremap, _onto and _fold functions are only used, via their node_ wrappers, in mm/mempolicy.c, which is only built for CONFIG_NUMA. The helper bitmap_ord_to_pos used by these functions is global, but its only external caller is node_random() in lib/nodemask.c, which is also guarded by CONFIG_NUMA.

AFAICT, there have never been any callers of these functions outside mm/mempolicy.c (via their nodemask.h wrappers). In particular, no modular code has ever used them, and given their somewhat exotic semantics, I highly doubt they will ever find such a use. In any case, no need to export them currently.

The out_unlock label is misleading; no unlocking happens after it, so just return NULL directly. Also, nothing between the kmem_cache_zalloc() that creates new and the two key_put() can initialize new->uid_keyring or new->session_keyring, so those calls are no-ops.

1. In latencytop source codes, we only have such calling chain: account_scheduler_latency(struct task_struct *task, int usecs, int inter) { if (unlikely(latencytop_enabled)) /* the outtermost check */ __account_scheduler_latency(task, usecs, inter); } __account_scheduler_latency account_global_scheduler_latency if (!latencytop_enabled) So, the inner check for latencytop_enabled is not necessary at all. 2. In clear_all_latency_tracing and now is called clear_tsk_latency_tracing the check for latencytop_enabled is redundant and buggy to some extent. We have no reason to refuse clearing the /proc/$pid/latency if latencytop_enabled is set to 0, considering that if we use latencytop manually by echo 0 > /proc/sys/kernel/latencytop, then we want to clear /proc/$pid/latency and failed. Also we don't have such check in brother function clear_global_latency_tracing. Notes: These changes are only visible to users who set CONFIG_LATENCYTOP and won't change user tool latencytop's behavior.

By design notifiers can be registerd once only, 2nd register attempt called by mistake silently corrupts notifiers list. A few years ago I investigated described problem, the host was power cycled because of notifier list corruption. I've prepared this patch and applied it to the OpenVZ kernel and sent this patch but nobody commented on it. Later it helped us to detect a similar problem in the OpenVz kernel. Mistakes with notifier registration can happen for example during subsystem initialization from different namespaces, or because of a lost unregister in the roll-back path on initialization failures. The proposed check cannot prevent the described problem, however it allows us to detect its reason quickly without coredump analysis.

Commit 60a3cdd0 ("x86: add optimized inlining") introduced CONFIG_OPTIMIZE_INLINING, but it has been available only for x86. The idea is obviously arch-agnostic. This commit moves the config entry from arch/x86/Kconfig.debug to lib/Kconfig.debug so that all architectures can benefit from it. This can make a huge difference in kernel image size especially when CONFIG_OPTIMIZE_FOR_SIZE is enabled. For example, I got 3.5% smaller arm64 kernel for v5.1-rc1. dec file 18983424 arch/arm64/boot/Image.before 18321920 arch/arm64/boot/Image.after This also slightly improves the "Kernel hacking" Kconfig menu as e61aca51 ("Merge branch 'kconfig-diet' from Dave Hansen') suggested; this config option would be a good fit in the "compiler option" menu.

Patch series "compiler: allow all arches to enable CONFIG_OPTIMIZE_INLINING", v3. This patch (of 11): When function tracing for IPIs is enabled, we get a warning for an overflow of the ipi_types array with the IPI_CPU_BACKTRACE type as triggered by raise_nmi(): arch/arm/kernel/smp.c: In function 'raise_nmi': arch/arm/kernel/smp.c:489:2: error: array subscript is above array bounds [-Werror=array-bounds] trace_ipi_raise(target, ipi_types[ipinr]); This is a correct warning as we actually overflow the array here. This patch raise_nmi() to call __smp_cross_call() instead of smp_cross_call(), to avoid calling into ftrace. For clarification, I'm also adding a two new code comments describing how this one is special. The warning appears to have shown up after commit e7273ff4 ("ARM: 8488/1: Make IPI_CPU_BACKTRACE a "non-secure" SGI"), which changed the number assignment from '15' to '8', but as far as I can tell has existed since the IPI tracepoints were first introduced. If we decide to backport this patch to stable kernels, we probably need to backport e7273ff4 as well.

The semantics of what mincore() considers to be resident is not completely clear, but Linux has always (since 2.3.52, which is when mincore() was initially done) treated it as "page is available in page cache". That's potentially a problem, as that [in]directly exposes meta-information about pagecache / memory mapping state even about memory not strictly belonging to the process executing the syscall, opening possibilities for sidechannel attacks. Change the semantics of mincore() so that it only reveals pagecache information for non-anonymous mappings that belog to files that the calling process could (if it tried to) successfully open for writing; otherwise we'd be including shared non-exclusive mappings, which - is the sidechannel - is not the usecase for mincore(), as that's primarily used for data, not (shared) text [jkosina@suse.cz: v2] Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20190312141708.6652-2-vbabka@suse.cz [mhocko@suse.com: restructure can_do_mincore() conditions] Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/nycvar.YFH.7.76.1903062342020.19912@cbobk.fhfr.pmSigned-off-by:

When freeing a page with an order >= shuffle_page_order randomly select the front or back of the list for insertion. While the mm tries to defragment physical pages into huge pages this can tend to make the page allocator more predictable over time. Inject the front-back randomness to preserve the initial randomness established by shuffle_free_memory() when the kernel was booted. The overhead of this manipulation is constrained by only being applied for MAX_ORDER sized pages by default.

Patch series "mm: Randomize free memory", v10. This patch (of 3): Randomization of the page allocator improves the average utilization of a direct-mapped memory-side-cache. Memory side caching is a platform capability that Linux has been previously exposed to in HPC (high-performance computing) environments on specialty platforms. In that instance it was a smaller pool of high-bandwidth-memory relative to higher-capacity / lower-bandwidth DRAM. Now, this capability is going to be found on general purpose server platforms where DRAM is a cache in front of higher latency persistent memory [1]. Robert offered an explanation of the state of the art of Linux interactions with memory-side-caches [2], and I copy it here: It's been a problem in the HPC space: http://www.nersc.gov/research-and-development/knl-cache-mode-performance-coe/ A kernel module called zonesort is available to try to help: https://software.intel.com/en-us/articles/xeon-phi-software and this abandoned patch series proposed that for the kernel: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20170823100205.17311-1-lukasz.daniluk@intel.com Dan's patch series doesn't attempt to ensure buffers won't conflict, but also reduces the chance that the buffers will. This will make performance more consistent, albeit slower than "optimal" (which is near impossible to attain in a general-purpose kernel). That's better than forcing users to deploy remedies like: "To eliminate this gradual degradation, we have added a Stream measurement to the Node Health Check that follows each job; nodes are rebooted whenever their measured memory bandwidth falls below 300 GB/s." A replacement for zonesort was merged upstream in commit cc9aec03 ("x86/numa_emulation: Introduce uniform split capability"). With this numa_emulation capability, memory can be split into cache sized ("near-memory" sized) numa nodes. A bind operation to such a node, and disabling workloads on other nodes, enables full cache performance. However, once the workload exceeds the cache size then cache conflicts are unavoidable. While HPC environments might be able to tolerate time-scheduling of cache sized workloads, for general purpose server platforms, the oversubscribed cache case will be the common case. The worst case scenario is that a server system owner benchmarks a workload at boot with an un-contended cache only to see that performance degrade over time, even below the average cache performance due to excessive conflicts. Randomization clips the peaks and fills in the valleys of cache utilization to yield steady average performance. Here are some performance impact details of the patches: 1/ An Intel internal synthetic memory bandwidth measurement tool, saw a 3X speedup in a contrived case that tries to force cache conflicts. The contrived cased used the numa_emulation capability to force an instance of the benchmark to be run in two of the near-memory sized numa nodes. If both instances were placed on the same emulated they would fit and cause zero conflicts. While on separate emulated nodes without randomization they underutilized the cache and conflicted unnecessarily due to the in-order allocation per node. 2/ A well known Java server application benchmark was run with a heap size that exceeded cache size by 3X. The cache conflict rate was 8% for the first run and degraded to 21% after page allocator aging. With randomization enabled the rate levelled out at 11%. 3/ A MongoDB workload did not observe measurable difference in cache-conflict rates, but the overall throughput dropped by 7% with randomization in one case. 4/ Mel Gorman ran his suite of performance workloads with randomization enabled on platforms without a memory-side-cache and saw a mix of some improvements and some losses [3]. While there is potentially significant improvement for applications that depend on low latency access across a wide working-set, the performance may be negligible to negative for other workloads. For this reason the shuffle capability defaults to off unless a direct-mapped memory-side-cache is detected. Even then, the page_alloc.shuffle=0 parameter can be specified to disable the randomization on those systems. Outside of memory-side-cache utilization concerns there is potentially security benefit from randomization. Some data exfiltration and return-oriented-programming attacks rely on the ability to infer the location of sensitive data objects. The kernel page allocator, especially early in system boot, has predictable first-in-first out behavior for physical pages. Pages are freed in physical address order when first onlined. Quoting Kees: "While we already have a base-address randomization (CONFIG_RANDOMIZE_MEMORY), attacks against the same hardware and memory layouts would certainly be using the predictability of allocation ordering (i.e. for attacks where the base address isn't important: only the relative positions between allocated memory). This is common in lots of heap-style attacks. They try to gain control over ordering by spraying allocations, etc. I'd really like to see this because it gives us something similar to CONFIG_SLAB_FREELIST_RANDOM but for the page allocator." While SLAB_FREELIST_RANDOM reduces the predictability of some local slab caches it leaves vast bulk of memory to be predictably in order allocated. However, it should be noted, the concrete security benefits are hard to quantify, and no known CVE is mitigated by this randomization. Introduce shuffle_free_memory(), and its helper shuffle_zone(), to perform a Fisher-Yates shuffle of the page allocator 'free_area' lists when they are initially populated with free memory at boot and at hotplug time. Do this based on either the presence of a page_alloc.shuffle=Y command line parameter, or autodetection of a memory-side-cache (to be added in a follow-on patch). The shuffling is done in terms of CONFIG_SHUFFLE_PAGE_ORDER sized free pages where the default CONFIG_SHUFFLE_PAGE_ORDER is MAX_ORDER-1 i.e. 10, 4MB this trades off randomization granularity for time spent shuffling. MAX_ORDER-1 was chosen to be minimally invasive to the page allocator while still showing memory-side cache behavior improvements, and the expectation that the security implications of finer granularity randomization is mitigated by CONFIG_SLAB_FREELIST_RANDOM. The performance impact of the shuffling appears to be in the noise compared to other memory initialization work. This initial randomization can be undone over time so a follow-on patch is introduced to inject entropy on page free decisions. It is reasonable to ask if the page free entropy is sufficient, but it is not enough due to the in-order initial freeing of pages. At the start of that process putting page1 in front or behind page0 still keeps them close together, page2 is still near page1 and has a high chance of being adjacent. As more pages are added ordering diversity improves, but there is still high page locality for the low address pages and this leads to no significant impact to the cache conflict rate.

Commit 763b218d ("mm: add preempt points into __purge_vmap_area_lazy()") introduced some preempt points, one of those is making an allocation more prioritized over lazy free of vmap areas. Prioritizing an allocation over freeing does not work well all the time, i.e. it should be rather a compromise. 1) Number of lazy pages directly influences the busy list length thus on operations like: allocation, lookup, unmap, remove, etc. 2) Under heavy stress of vmalloc subsystem I run into a situation when memory usage gets increased hitting out_of_memory -> panic state due to completely blocking of logic that frees vmap areas in the __purge_vmap_area_lazy() function. Establish a threshold passing which the freeing is prioritized back over allocation creating a balance between each other. Using vmalloc test driver in "stress mode", i.e. When all available test cases are run simultaneously on all online CPUs applying a pressure on the vmalloc subsystem, my HiKey 960 board runs out of memory due to the fact that __purge_vmap_area_lazy() logic simply is not able to free pages in time. How I run it: 1) You should build your kernel with CONFIG_TEST_VMALLOC=m 2) ./tools/testing/selftests/vm/test_vmalloc.sh stress During this test "vmap_lazy_nr" pages will go far beyond acceptable lazy_max_pages() threshold, that will lead to enormous busy list size and other problems including allocation time and so on.

Psi monitor aims to provide a low-latency short-term pressure detection mechanism configurable by users. It allows users to monitor psi metrics growth and trigger events whenever a metric raises above user-defined threshold within user-defined time window. Time window and threshold are both expressed in usecs. Multiple psi resources with different thresholds and window sizes can be monitored concurrently. Psi monitors activate when system enters stall state for the monitored psi metric and deactivate upon exit from the stall state. While system is in the stall state psi signal growth is monitored at a rate of 10 times per tracking window. Min window size is 500ms, therefore the min monitoring interval is 50ms. Max window size is 10s with monitoring interval of 1s. When activated psi monitor stays active for at least the duration of one tracking window to avoid repeated activations/deactivations when psi signal is bouncing. Notifications to the users are rate-limited to one per tracking window. Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20190319235619.260832-8-surenb@google.comSigned-off-by:

Patch series "psi: pressure stall monitors", v6. This is a respin of: https://lwn.net/ml/linux-kernel/20190308184311.144521-1-surenb%40google.com/ Android is adopting psi to detect and remedy memory pressure that results in stuttering and decreased responsiveness on mobile devices. Psi gives us the stall information, but because we're dealing with latencies in the millisecond range, periodically reading the pressure files to detect stalls in a timely fashion is not feasible. Psi also doesn't aggregate its averages at a high-enough frequency right now. This patch series extends the psi interface such that users can configure sensitive latency thresholds and use poll() and friends to be notified when these are breached. As high-frequency aggregation is costly, it implements an aggregation method that is optimized for fast, short-interval averaging, and makes the aggregation frequency adaptive, such that high-frequency updates only happen while monitored stall events are actively occurring. With these patches applied, Android can monitor for, and ward off, mounting memory shortages before they cause problems for the user. For example, using memory stall monitors in userspace low memory killer daemon (lmkd) we can detect mounting pressure and kill less important processes before device becomes visibly sluggish. In our memory stress testing psi memory monitors produce roughly 10x less false positives compared to vmpressure signals. Having ability to specify multiple triggers for the same psi metric allows other parts of Android framework to monitor memory state of the device and act accordingly. The new interface is straight-forward. The user opens one of the pressure files for writing and writes a trigger description into the file descriptor that defines the stall state - some or full, and the maximum stall time over a given window of time. E.g.: /* Signal when stall time exceeds 100ms of a 1s window */ char trigger[] = "full 100000 1000000" fd = open("/proc/pressure/memory") write(fd, trigger, sizeof(trigger)) while (poll() >= 0) { ... }; close(fd); When the monitored stall state is entered, psi adapts its aggregation frequency according to what the configured time window requires in order to emit event signals in a timely fashion. Once the stalling subsides, aggregation reverts back to normal. The trigger is associated with the open file descriptor. To stop monitoring, the user only needs to close the file descriptor and the trigger is discarded. Patches 1-6 prepare the psi code for polling support. Patch 7 implements the adaptive polling logic, the pressure growth detection optimized for short intervals, and hooks up write() and poll() on the pressure files. The patches were developed in collaboration with Johannes Weiner. This patch (of 7): The psi monitoring patches will need to determine the same states as record_times(). To avoid calculating them twice, maintain a state mask that can be consulted cheaply. Do this in a separate patch to keep the churn in the main feature patch at a minimum. This adds 4-byte state_mask member into psi_group_cpu struct which results in its first cacheline-aligned part becoming 52 bytes long. Add explicit values to enumeration element counters that affect psi_group_cpu struct size. Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20190124211518.244221-4-surenb@google.comSigned-off-by:

The task structure is freed while get_mem_cgroup_from_mm() holds rcu_read_lock() and dereferences mm->owner. get_mem_cgroup_from_mm() failing fork() ---- --- task = mm->owner mm->owner = NULL; free(task) if (task) *task; /* use after free */ The fix consists in freeing the task with RCU also in the fork failure case, exactly like it always happens for the regular exit(2) path. That is enough to make the rcu_read_lock hold in get_mem_cgroup_from_mm() (left side above) effective to avoid a use after free when dereferencing the task structure. An alternate possible fix would be to defer the delivery of the userfaultfd contexts to the monitor until after fork() is guaranteed to succeed. Such a change would require more changes because it would create a strict ordering dependency where the uffd methods would need to be called beyond the last potentially failing branch in order to be safe. This solution as opposed only adds the dependency to common code to set mm->owner to NULL and to free the task struct that was pointed by mm->owner with RCU, if fork ends up failing. The userfaultfd methods can still be called anywhere during the fork runtime and the monitor will keep discarding orphaned "mm" coming from failed forks in userland. This race condition couldn't trigger if CONFIG_MEMCG was set =n at build time.
