      Merge branch 'entropy' · 3f2dc279
      Linus Torvalds authored
      Merge active entropy generation updates.
      
      This is admittedly partly "for discussion".  We need to have a way
      forward for the boot time deadlocks where user space ends up waiting for
      more entropy, but no entropy is forthcoming because the system is
      entirely idle just waiting for something to happen.
      
      While this was triggered by what is arguably a user space bug with
      GDM/gnome-session asking for secure randomness during early boot, when
      they didn't even need any such truly secure thing, the issue ends up
      being that our "getrandom()" interface is prone to that kind of
      confusion, because people don't think very hard about whether they want
      to block for sufficient amounts of entropy.
      
      The approach here-in is to decide to not just passively wait for entropy
      to happen, but to start actively collecting it if it is missing.  This
      is not necessarily always possible, but if the architecture has a CPU
      cycle counter, there is a fair amount of noise in the exact timings of
      reasonably complex loads.
      
      We may end up tweaking the load and the entropy estimates, but this
      should be at least a reasonable starting point.
      
      As part of this, we also revert the revert of the ext4 IO pattern
      improvement that ended up triggering the reported lack of external
      entropy.
      
      * getrandom() active entropy waiting:

      This reverts commit 72dbcf72.
      
      Instead of waiting forever for entropy that may just not happen, we now
      try to actively generate entropy when required, and are thus hopefully
      avoiding the problem that caused the nice ext4 IO pattern fix to be
      reverted.
      
      So revert the revert.

      random: try to actively add entropy rather than passively wait for it · 50ee7529
      Linus Torvalds authored
      For 5.3 we had to revert a nice ext4 IO pattern improvement, because it
      caused a bootup regression due to lack of entropy at bootup together
      with arguably broken user space that was asking for secure random
      numbers when it really didn't need to.
      
      See commit 72dbcf72 (Revert "ext4: make __ext4_get_inode_loc plug").
      
      This aims to solve the issue by actively generating entropy noise using
      the CPU cycle counter when waiting for the random number generator to
      initialize.  This only works when you have a high-frequency time stamp
      counter available, but that's the case on all modern x86 CPU's, and on
      most other modern CPU's too.
      
      What we do is to generate jitter entropy from the CPU cycle counter
      under a somewhat complex load: calling the scheduler while also
      guaranteeing a certain amount of timing noise by also triggering a
      timer.
      
      I'm sure we can tweak this, and that people will want to look at other
      alternatives, but there's been a number of papers written on jitter
      entropy, and this should really be fairly conservative by crediting one
      bit of entropy for every timer-induced jump in the cycle counter.  Not
      because the timer itself would be all that unpredictable, but because
      the interaction between the timer and the loop is going to be.
      
      Even if (and perhaps particularly if) the timer actually happens on
      another CPU, the cacheline interaction between the loop that reads the
      cycle counter and the timer itself firing is going to add perturbations
      to the cycle counter values that get mixed into the entropy pool.
      
      As Thomas pointed out, with a modern out-of-order CPU, even quite simple
      loops show a fair amount of hard-to-predict timing variability even in
      the absense of external interrupts.  But this tries to take that further
      by actually having a fairly complex interaction.
      
      This is not going to solve the entropy issue for architectures that have
      no CPU cycle counter, but it's not clear how (and if) that is solvable,
      and the hardware in question is largely starting to be irrelevant.  And
      by doing this we can at least avoid some of the even more contentious
      approaches (like making the entropy waiting time out in order to avoid
      the possibly unbounded waiting).

      Merge branch 'hugepage-fallbacks' (hugepatch patches from David Rientjes) · edf445ad
      Linus Torvalds authored
      Merge hugepage allocation updates from David Rientjes:
       "We (mostly Linus, Andrea, and myself) have been discussing offlist how
        to implement a sane default allocation strategy for hugepages on NUMA
        platforms.
      
        With these reverts in place, the page allocator will happily allocate
        a remote hugepage immediately rather than try to make a local hugepage
        available. This incurs a substantial performance degradation when
        memory compaction would have otherwise made a local hugepage
        available.
      
        This series reverts those reverts and attempts to propose a more sane
        default allocation strategy specifically for hugepages. Andrea
        acknowledges this is likely to fix the swap storms that he originally
        reported that resulted in the patches that removed __GFP_THISNODE from
        hugepage allocations.
      
        The immediate goal is to return 5.3 to the behavior the kernel has
        implemented over the past several years so that remote hugepages are
        not immediately allocated when local hugepages could have been made
        available because the increased access latency is untenable.
      
        The next goal is to introduce a sane default allocation strategy for
        hugepages allocations in general regardless of the configuration of
        the system so that we prevent thrashing of local memory when
        compaction is unlikely to succeed and can prefer remote hugepages over
        remote native pages when the local node is low on memory."
      
      Note on timing: this reverts the hugepage VM behavior changes that got
      introduced fairly late in the 5.3 cycle, and that fixed a huge
      performance regression for certain loads that had been around since
      4.18.
      
      Andrea had this note:
      
       "The regression of 4.18 was that it was taking hours to start a VM
        where 3.10 was only taking a few seconds, I reported all the details
        on lkml when it was finally tracked down in August 2018.
      
           https://lore.kernel.org/linux-mm/20180820032640.9896-2-aarcange@redhat.com/
      
        __GFP_THISNODE in MADV_HUGEPAGE made the above enterprise vfio
        workload degrade like in the "current upstream" above. And it still
        would have been that bad as above until 5.3-rc5"
      
      where the bad behavior ends up happening as you fill up a local node,
      and without that change, you'd get into the nasty swap storm behavior
      due to compaction working overtime to make room for more memory on the
      nodes.
      
      As a result 5.3 got the two performance fix reverts in rc5.
      
      However, David Rientjes then noted that those performance fixes in turn
      regressed performance for other loads - although not quite to the same
      degree.  He suggested reverting the reverts and instead replacing them
      with two small changes to how hugepage allocations are done (patch
      descriptions rephrased by me):
      
       - "avoid expensive reclaim when compaction may not succeed": just admit
         that the allocation failed when you're trying to allocate a huge-page
         and compaction wasn't successful.
      
       - "allow hugepage fallback to remote nodes when madvised": when that
         node-local huge-page allocation failed, retry without forcing the
         local node.
      
      but by then I judged it too late to replace the fixes for a 5.3 release.
      So 5.3 was released with behavior that harked back to the pre-4.18 logic.
      
      But now we're in the merge window for 5.4, and we can see if this
      alternate model fixes not just the horrendous swap storm behavior, but
      also restores the performance regression that the late reverts caused.
      
      Fingers crossed.

      This is currently the only occurrence of the warning in the kernel

      on existing probes. This also may set the error log index
      bigger than the number of command parameters. In that case
      it sets the error position is next to the last parameter.

      mm, page_alloc: allow hugepage fallback to remote nodes when madvised · 76e654cc
      David Rientjes authored
      For systems configured to always try hard to allocate transparent
      hugepages (thp defrag setting of "always") or for memory that has been
      explicitly madvised to MADV_HUGEPAGE, it is often better to fallback to
      remote memory to allocate the hugepage if the local allocation fails
      first.
      
      The point is to allow the initial call to __alloc_pages_node() to attempt
      to defragment local memory to make a hugepage available, if possible,
      rather than immediately fallback to remote memory.  Local hugepages will
      always have a better access latency than remote (huge)pages, so an attempt
      to make a hugepage available locally is always preferred.
      
      If memory compaction cannot be successful locally, however, it is likely
      better to fallback to remote memory.  This could take on two forms: either
      allow immediate fallback to remote memory or do per-zone watermark checks.
      It would be possible to fallback only when per-zone watermarks fail for
      order-0 memory, since that would require local reclaim for all subsequent
      faults so remote huge allocation is likely better than thrashing the local
      zone for large workloads.
      
      In this case, it is assumed that because the system is configured to try
      hard to allocate hugepages or the vma is advised to explicitly want to try
      hard for hugepages that remote allocation is better when local allocation
      and memory compaction have both failed.

      mm, page_alloc: avoid expensive reclaim when compaction may not succeed · b39d0ee2
      David Rientjes authored
      Memory compaction has a couple significant drawbacks as the allocation
      order increases, specifically:
      
       - isolate_freepages() is responsible for finding free pages to use as
         migration targets and is implemented as a linear scan of memory
         starting at the end of a zone,
      
       - failing order-0 watermark checks in memory compaction does not account
         for how far below the watermarks the zone actually is: to enable
         migration, there must be *some* free memory available.  Per the above,
         watermarks are not always suffficient if isolate_freepages() cannot
         find the free memory but it could require hundreds of MBs of reclaim to
         even reach this threshold (read: potentially very expensive reclaim with
         no indication compaction can be successful), and
      
       - if compaction at this order has failed recently so that it does not even
         run as a result of deferred compaction, looping through reclaim can often
         be pointless.
      
      For hugepage allocations, these are quite substantial drawbacks because
      these are very high order allocations (order-9 on x86) and falling back to
      doing reclaim can potentially be *very* expensive without any indication
      that compaction would even be successful.
      
      Reclaim itself is unlikely to free entire pageblocks and certainly no
      reliance should be put on it to do so in isolation (recall lumpy reclaim).
      This means we should avoid reclaim and simply fail hugepage allocation if
      compaction is deferred.
      
      It is also not helpful to thrash a zone by doing excessive reclaim if
      compaction may not be able to access that memory.  If order-0 watermarks
      fail and the allocation order is sufficiently large, it is likely better
      to fail the allocation rather than thrashing the zone.
