      Pull media updates from Mauro Carvalho Chehab:
       "Brazil's Independence Day pull request :-)
      
        This is one of the biggest media pull requests, with 625 patches
        affecting almost all parts of media (RC, DVB, V4L2, CEC, docs).
      
        This contains:
      
         - A lot of new drivers:
           * DVB frontends: mxl5xx, stv0910, stv6111;
           * camera flash: as3645a led driver;
           * HDMI receiver: adv748X;
           * camera sensor: Omnivision 6650 5M driver (ov6650);
           * HDMI CEC: ao-cec meson driver;
           * V4L2: Qualcom camss driver;
           * Remote controller: gpio-ir-tx, pwm-ir-tx and zx-irdec drivers.
      
         - The DDbridge DVB driver got a massive update, with makes it in sync
           with modern hardware from that vendor;
      
         - There's an important milestone on this series: the DVB
           documentation was written in 2003, but only started to be updated
           in 2007. It also used to contain several gaps from the time it was
           kept out of tree, mentioning error codes and device nodes that
           never existed upstream. On this series, it received a massive
           update: all non-deprecated digital TV APIs are now in sync with the
           current implementation;
      
         - Some DVB APIs that aren't used by any upstream driver got removed;
      
         - Other parts of the media documentation algo got updated, fixing
           some bugs on its PDF output and making it compatible with Sphinx
           version 1.6.
      
           As the number of hacks required to build PDF output reduced, I hope
           we'll have less troubles as newer versions of our documentation
           toolchain are released (famous last words);
      
         - As usual, lots of driver cleanups and improvements"

      Pull sound updates from Takashi Iwai:
       "We have touched quite a lot of files but with fewer changes at this
        cycle; as you can see, most of changes are trivial fixes, especially
        constification patches.
      
        Among the massive attacks by constification gangs, we had a few core
        changes (mostly for ASoC core), as well the fixes and the updates by
        major vendors.
      
        Some highlights:
      
        ALSA core:
      
         - Fix possible races in control API user-TLV codes
      
         - Small cleanup of PCM core
      
        ASoC:
      
         - Continued work for componentization; still half-baked, but we're
           certainly progressing
      
         - Use of devres for jack detection GPIOs, rather as a cleanup
      
         - Jack detection support for Qualcomm MSM8916
      
         - Support for Allwinner H3, Cirrus Logic CS43130, Intel Kabylake
           systems with RT5663, Realtek RT274, TI TLV320AIC32x6 and Wolfson
           WM8523"

      Pull powerpc updates from Michael Ellerman:
       "Nothing really major this release, despite quite a lot of activity.
        Just lots of things all over the place.
      
        Some things of note include:
      
         - Access via perf to a new type of PMU (IMC) on Power9, which can
           count both core events as well as nest unit events (Memory
           controller etc).
      
         - Optimisations to the radix MMU TLB flushing, mostly to avoid
           unnecessary Page Walk Cache (PWC) flushes when the structure of the
           tree is not changing.
      
         - Reworks/cleanups of do_page_fault() to modernise it and bring it
           closer to other architectures where possible.
      
         - Rework of our page table walking so that THP updates only need to
           send IPIs to CPUs where the affected mm has run, rather than all
           CPUs.
      
         - The size of our vmalloc area is increased to 56T on 64-bit hash MMU
           systems. This avoids problems with the percpu allocator on systems
           with very sparse NUMA layouts.
      
         - STRICT_KERNEL_RWX support on PPC32.
      
         - A new sched domain topology for Power9, to capture the fact that
           pairs of cores may share an L2 cache.
      
         - Power9 support for VAS, which is a new mechanism for accessing
           coprocessors, and initial support for using it with the NX
           compression accelerator.
      
         - Major work on the instruction emulation support, adding support for
           many new instructions, and reworking it so it can be used to
           implement the emulation needed to fixup alignment faults.
      
         - Support for guests under PowerVM to use the Power9 XIVE interrupt
           controller.
      
        And probably that many things again that are almost as interesting,
        but I had to keep the list short. Plus the usual fixes and cleanups as
        always.

      Pull percpu updates from Tejun Heo:
       "A lot of changes for percpu this time around. percpu inherited the
        same area allocator from the original pre-virtual-address-mapped
        implementation. This was from the time when percpu allocator wasn't
        used all that much and the implementation was focused on simplicity,
        with the unfortunate computational complexity of O(number of areas
        allocated from the chunk) per alloc / free.
      
        With the increase in percpu usage, we're hitting cases where the lack
        of scalability is hurting. The most prominent one right now is bpf
        perpcu map creation / destruction which may allocate and free a lot of
        entries consecutively and it's likely that the problem will become
        more prominent in the future.
      
        To address the issue, Dennis replaced the area allocator with hinted
        bitmap allocator which is more consistent. While the new allocator
        does perform a bit worse in some cases, it outperforms the old
        allocator way more than an order of magnitude in other more common

      x86/mm: Reinitialize TLB state on hotplug and resume · 72c0098d
      Andy Lutomirski authored
      When Linux brings a CPU down and back up, it switches to init_mm and then
      loads swapper_pg_dir into CR3.  With PCID enabled, this has the side effect
      of masking off the ASID bits in CR3.
      
      This can result in some confusion in the TLB handling code.  If we
      bring a CPU down and back up with any ASID other than 0, we end up
      with the wrong ASID active on the CPU after resume.  This could
      cause our internal state to become corrupt, although major
      corruption is unlikely because init_mm doesn't have any user pages.
      More obviously, if CONFIG_DEBUG_VM=y, we'll trip over an assertion
      in the next context switch.  The result of *that* is a failure to
      resume from suspend with probability 1 - 1/6^(cpus-1).
      
      Fix it by reinitializing cpu_tlbstate on resume and CPU bringup.

      mm,fork: introduce MADV_WIPEONFORK · d2cd9ede
      Rik van Riel authored
      Introduce MADV_WIPEONFORK semantics, which result in a VMA being empty
      in the child process after fork.  This differs from MADV_DONTFORK in one
      important way.
      
      If a child process accesses memory that was MADV_WIPEONFORK, it will get
      zeroes.  The address ranges are still valid, they are just empty.
      
      If a child process accesses memory that was MADV_DONTFORK, it will get a
      segmentation fault, since those address ranges are no longer valid in
      the child after fork.
      
      Since MADV_DONTFORK also seems to be used to allow very large programs
      to fork in systems with strict memory overcommit restrictions, changing
      the semantics of MADV_DONTFORK might break existing programs.
      
      MADV_WIPEONFORK only works on private, anonymous VMAs.
      
      The use case is libraries that store or cache information, and want to
      know that they need to regenerate it in the child process after fork.
      
      Examples of this would be:
       - systemd/pulseaudio API checks (fail after fork) (replacing a getpid
         check, which is too slow without a PID cache)
       - PKCS#11 API reinitialization check (mandated by specification)
       - glibc's upcoming PRNG (reseed after fork)
       - OpenSSL PRNG (reseed after fork)
      
      The security benefits of a forking server having a re-inialized PRNG in
      every child process are pretty obvious.  However, due to libraries
      having all kinds of internal state, and programs getting compiled with
      many different versions of each library, it is unreasonable to expect
      calling programs to re-initialize everything manually after fork.
      
      A further complication is the proliferation of clone flags, programs
      bypassing glibc's functions to call clone directly, and programs calling
      unshare, causing the glibc pthread_atfork hook to not get called.
      
      It would be better to have the kernel take care of this automatically.
      
      The patch also adds MADV_KEEPONFORK, to undo the effects of a prior
      MADV_WIPEONFORK.
      
      This is similar to the OpenBSD minherit syscall with MAP_INHERIT_ZERO:

      Patch series "mm,fork,security: introduce MADV_WIPEONFORK", v4.
      
      If a child process accesses memory that was MADV_WIPEONFORK, it will get
      zeroes.  The address ranges are still valid, they are just empty.
      
      If a child process accesses memory that was MADV_DONTFORK, it will get a
      segmentation fault, since those address ranges are no longer valid in
      the child after fork.
      
      Since MADV_DONTFORK also seems to be used to allow very large programs
      to fork in systems with strict memory overcommit restrictions, changing
      the semantics of MADV_DONTFORK might break existing programs.
      
      The use case is libraries that store or cache information, and want to
      know that they need to regenerate it in the child process after fork.
      
      Examples of this would be:
       - systemd/pulseaudio API checks (fail after fork) (replacing a getpid
         check, which is too slow without a PID cache)
       - PKCS#11 API reinitialization check (mandated by specification)
       - glibc's upcoming PRNG (reseed after fork)
       - OpenSSL PRNG (reseed after fork)
      
      The security benefits of a forking server having a re-inialized PRNG in
      every child process are pretty obvious.  However, due to libraries
      having all kinds of internal state, and programs getting compiled with
      many different versions of each library, it is unreasonable to expect
      calling programs to re-initialize everything manually after fork.
      
      A further complication is the proliferation of clone flags, programs
      bypassing glibc's functions to call clone directly, and programs calling
      unshare, causing the glibc pthread_atfork hook to not get called.
      
      It would be better to have the kernel take care of this automatically.
      
      The patchset also adds MADV_KEEPONFORK, to undo the effects of a prior
      MADV_WIPEONFORK.
      
      This is similar to the OpenBSD minherit syscall with MAP_INHERIT_ZERO:
      
          https://man.openbsd.org/minherit.2
      
      This patch (of 2):
      
      MPX only seems to be available on 64 bit CPUs, starting with Skylake and
      Goldmont.  Move VM_MPX into the 64 bit only portion of vma->vm_flags, in
      order to free up a VMA flag.

      mm: add /proc/pid/smaps_rollup · 493b0e9d
      Daniel Colascione authored
      /proc/pid/smaps_rollup is a new proc file that improves the performance
      of user programs that determine aggregate memory statistics (e.g., total
      PSS) of a process.
      
      Android regularly "samples" the memory usage of various processes in
      order to balance its memory pool sizes.  This sampling process involves
      opening /proc/pid/smaps and summing certain fields.  For very large
      processes, sampling memory use this way can take several hundred
      milliseconds, due mostly to the overhead of the seq_printf calls in
      task_mmu.c.
      
      smaps_rollup improves the situation.  It contains most of the fields of
      /proc/pid/smaps, but instead of a set of fields for each VMA,
      smaps_rollup instead contains one synthetic smaps-format entry
      representing the whole process.  In the single smaps_rollup synthetic
      entry, each field is the summation of the corresponding field in all of
      the real-smaps VMAs.  Using a common format for smaps_rollup and smaps
      allows userspace parsers to repurpose parsers meant for use with
      non-rollup smaps for smaps_rollup, and it allows userspace to switch
      between smaps_rollup and smaps at runtime (say, based on the
      availability of smaps_rollup in a given kernel) with minimal fuss.
      
      By using smaps_rollup instead of smaps, a caller can avoid the
      significant overhead of formatting, reading, and parsing each of a large
      process's potentially very numerous memory mappings.  For sampling
      system_server's PSS in Android, we measured a 12x speedup, representing
      a savings of several hundred milliseconds.
      
      One alternative to a new per-process proc file would have been including
      PSS information in /proc/pid/status.  We considered this option but
      thought that PSS would be too expensive (by a few orders of magnitude)
      to collect relative to what's already emitted as part of
      /proc/pid/status, and slowing every user of /proc/pid/status for the
      sake of readers that happen to want PSS feels wrong.
      
      The code itself works by reusing the existing VMA-walking framework we
      use for regular smaps generation and keeping the mem_size_stats
      structure around between VMA walks instead of using a fresh one for each
      VMA.  In this way, summation happens automatically.  We let seq_file
      walk over the VMAs just as it does for regular smaps and just emit
      nothing to the seq_file until we hit the last VMA.
      
      Benchmarks:
      
          using smaps:
          iterations:1000 pid:1163 pss:220023808
          0m29.46s real 0m08.28s user 0m20.98s system
      
          using smaps_rollup:
          iterations:1000 pid:1163 pss:220702720
          0m04.39s real 0m00.03s user 0m04.31s system
      
      We're using the PSS samples we collect asynchronously for
      system-management tasks like fine-tuning oom_adj_score, memory use
      tracking for debugging, application-level memory-use attribution, and
      deciding whether we want to kill large processes during system idle
      maintenance windows.  Android has been using PSS for these purposes for
      a long time; as the average process VMA count has increased and and
      devices become more efficiency-conscious, PSS-collection inefficiency
      has started to matter more.  IMHO, it'd be a lot safer to optimize the
      existing PSS-collection model, which has been fine-tuned over the years,
      instead of changing the memory tracking approach entirely to work around
      smaps-generation inefficiency.
      
      Tim said:
      
      : There are two main reasons why Android gathers PSS information:
      :
      : 1. Android devices can show the user the amount of memory used per
      :    application via the settings app.  This is a less important use case.
      :
      : 2. We log PSS to help identify leaks in applications.  We have found
      :    an enormous number of bugs (in the Android platform, in Google's own
      :    apps, and in third-party applications) using this data.
      :
      : To do this, system_server (the main process in Android userspace) will
      : sample the PSS of a process three seconds after it changes state (for
      : example, app is launched and becomes the foreground application) and about
      : every ten minutes after that.  The net result is that PSS collection is
      : regularly running on at least one process in the system (usually a few
      : times a minute while the screen is on, less when screen is off due to
      : suspend).  PSS of a process is an incredibly useful stat to track, and we
      : aren't going to get rid of it.  We've looked at some very hacky approaches
      : using RSS ("take the RSS of the target process, subtract the RSS of the
      : zygote process that is the parent of all Android apps") to reduce the
      : accounting time, but it regularly overestimated the memory used by 20+
      : percent.  Accordingly, I don't think that there's a good alternative to
      : using PSS.
      :
      : We started looking into PSS collection performance after we noticed random
      : frequency spikes while a phone's screen was off; occasionally, one of the
      : CPU clusters would ramp to a high frequency because there was 200-300ms of
      : constant CPU work from a single thread in the main Android userspace
      : process.  The work causing the spike (which is reasonable governor
      : behavior given the amount of CPU time needed) was always PSS collection.
      : As a result, Android is burning more power than we should be on PSS
      : collection.
      :
      : The other issue (and why I'm less sure about improving smaps as a
      : long-term solution) is that the number of VMAs per process has increased
      : significantly from release to release.  After trying to figure out why we
      : were seeing these 200-300ms PSS collection times on Android O but had not
      : noticed it in previous versions, we found that the number of VMAs in the
      : main system process increased by 50% from Android N to Android O (from
      : ~1800 to ~2700) and varying increases in every userspace process.  Android
      : M to N also had an increase in the number of VMAs, although not as much.
      : I'm not sure why this is increasing so much over time, but thinking about
      : ASLR and ways to make ASLR better, I expect that this will continue to
      : increase going forward.  I would not be surprised if we hit 5000 VMAs on
      : the main Android process (system_server) by 2020.
      :
      : If we assume that the number of VMAs is going to increase over time, then
      : doing anything we can do to reduce the overhead of each VMA during PSS
      : collection seems like the right way to go, and that means outputting an
      : aggregate statistic (to avoid whatever overhead there is per line in
      : writing smaps and in reading each line from userspace).

      mm: hugetlb: clear target sub-page last when clearing huge page · c79b57e4
      Huang Ying authored
      Huge page helps to reduce TLB miss rate, but it has higher cache
      footprint, sometimes this may cause some issue.  For example, when
      clearing huge page on x86_64 platform, the cache footprint is 2M.  But
      on a Xeon E5 v3 2699 CPU, there are 18 cores, 36 threads, and only 45M
      LLC (last level cache).  That is, in average, there are 2.5M LLC for
      each core and 1.25M LLC for each thread.
      
      If the cache pressure is heavy when clearing the huge page, and we clear
      the huge page from the begin to the end, it is possible that the begin
      of huge page is evicted from the cache after we finishing clearing the
      end of the huge page.  And it is possible for the application to access
      the begin of the huge page after clearing the huge page.
      
      To help the above situation, in this patch, when we clear a huge page,
      the order to clear sub-pages is changed.  In quite some situation, we
      can get the address that the application will access after we clear the
      huge page, for example, in a page fault handler.  Instead of clearing
      the huge page from begin to end, we will clear the sub-pages farthest
      from the the sub-page to access firstly, and clear the sub-page to
      access last.  This will make the sub-page to access most cache-hot and
      sub-pages around it more cache-hot too.  If we cannot know the address
      the application will access, the begin of the huge page is assumed to be
      the the address the application will access.
      
      With this patch, the throughput increases ~28.3% in vm-scalability
      anon-w-seq test case with 72 processes on a 2 socket Xeon E5 v3 2699
      system (36 cores, 72 threads).  The test case creates 72 processes, each
      process mmap a big anonymous memory area and writes to it from the begin
      to the end.  For each process, other processes could be seen as other
      workload which generates heavy cache pressure.  At the same time, the
      cache miss rate reduced from ~33.4% to ~31.7%, the IPC (instruction per
      cycle) increased from 0.56 to 0.74, and the time spent in user space is
      reduced ~7.9%
      
      Christopher Lameter suggests to clear bytes inside a sub-page from end
      to begin too.  But tests show no visible performance difference in the
      tests.  May because the size of page is small compared with the cache
      size.
      
      Thanks Andi Kleen to propose to use address to access to determine the
      order of sub-pages to clear.
      
      The hugetlbfs access address could be improved, will do that in another
      patch.

      mm: oom: let oom_reap_task and exit_mmap run concurrently · 21292580
      Andrea Arcangeli authored
      This is purely required because exit_aio() may block and exit_mmap() may
      never start, if the oom_reap_task cannot start running on a mm with
      mm_users == 0.
      
      At the same time if the OOM reaper doesn't wait at all for the memory of
      the current OOM candidate to be freed by exit_mmap->unmap_vmas, it would
      generate a spurious OOM kill.
      
      If it wasn't because of the exit_aio or similar blocking functions in
      the last mmput, it would be enough to change the oom_reap_task() in the
      case it finds mm_users == 0, to wait for a timeout or to wait for
      __mmput to set MMF_OOM_SKIP itself, but it's not just exit_mmap the
      problem here so the concurrency of exit_mmap and oom_reap_task is
      apparently warranted.
      
      It's a non standard runtime, exit_mmap() runs without mmap_sem, and
      oom_reap_task runs with the mmap_sem for reading as usual (kind of
      MADV_DONTNEED).
      
      The race between the two is solved with a combination of
      tsk_is_oom_victim() (serialized by task_lock) and MMF_OOM_SKIP
      (serialized by a dummy down_write/up_write cycle on the same lines of
      the ksm_exit method).
      
      If the oom_reap_task() may be running concurrently during exit_mmap,
      exit_mmap will wait it to finish in down_write (before taking down mm
      structures that would make the oom_reap_task fail with use after free).
      
      If exit_mmap comes first, oom_reap_task() will skip the mm if
      MMF_OOM_SKIP is already set and in turn all memory is already freed and
      furthermore the mm data structures may already have been taken down by
      free_pgtables.

      swap: choose swap device according to numa node · a2468cc9
      Aaron Lu authored
      If the system has more than one swap device and swap device has the node
      information, we can make use of this information to decide which swap
      device to use in get_swap_pages() to get better performance.
      
      The current code uses a priority based list, swap_avail_list, to decide
      which swap device to use and if multiple swap devices share the same
      priority, they are used round robin.  This patch changes the previous
      single global swap_avail_list into a per-numa-node list, i.e.  for each
      numa node, it sees its own priority based list of available swap
      devices.  Swap device's priority can be promoted on its matching node's
      swap_avail_list.
      
      The current swap device's priority is set as: user can set a >=0 value,
      or the system will pick one starting from -1 then downwards.  The
      priority value in the swap_avail_list is the negated value of the swap
      device's due to plist being sorted from low to high.  The new policy
      doesn't change the semantics for priority >=0 cases, the previous
      starting from -1 then downwards now becomes starting from -2 then
      downwards and -1 is reserved as the promoted value.
      
      Take 4-node EX machine as an example, suppose 4 swap devices are
      available, each sit on a different node:
      swapA on node 0
      swapB on node 1
      swapC on node 2
      swapD on node 3
      
      After they are all swapped on in the sequence of ABCD.
      
      Current behaviour:
      their priorities will be:
      swapA: -1
      swapB: -2
      swapC: -3
      swapD: -4
      And their position in the global swap_avail_list will be:
      swapA   -> swapB   -> swapC   -> swapD
      prio:1     prio:2     prio:3     prio:4
      
      New behaviour:
      their priorities will be(note that -1 is skipped):
      swapA: -2
      swapB: -3
      swapC: -4
      swapD: -5
      And their positions in the 4 swap_avail_lists[nid] will be:
      swap_avail_lists[0]: /* node 0's available swap device list */
      swapA   -> swapB   -> swapC   -> swapD
      prio:1     prio:3     prio:4     prio:5
      swap_avali_lists[1]: /* node 1's available swap device list */
      swapB   -> swapA   -> swapC   -> swapD
      prio:1     prio:2     prio:4     prio:5
      swap_avail_lists[2]: /* node 2's available swap device list */
      swapC   -> swapA   -> swapB   -> swapD
      prio:1     prio:2     prio:3     prio:5
      swap_avail_lists[3]: /* node 3's available swap device list */
      swapD   -> swapA   -> swapB   -> swapC
      prio:1     prio:2     prio:3     prio:4
      
      To see the effect of the patch, a test that starts N process, each mmap
      a region of anonymous memory and then continually write to it at random
      position to trigger both swap in and out is used.
      
      On a 2 node Skylake EP machine with 64GiB memory, two 170GB SSD drives
      are used as swap devices with each attached to a different node, the
      result is:
      
      runtime=30m/processes=32/total test size=128G/each process mmap region=4G
      kernel         throughput

      mm: replace TIF_MEMDIE checks by tsk_is_oom_victim · da99ecf1
      Michal Hocko authored
      TIF_MEMDIE is set only to the tasks whick were either directly selected
      by the OOM killer or passed through mark_oom_victim from the allocator
      path.  tsk_is_oom_victim is more generic and allows to identify all
      tasks (threads) which share the mm with the oom victim.
      
      Please note that the freezer still needs to check TIF_MEMDIE because we
      cannot thaw tasks which do not participage in oom_victims counting
      otherwise a !TIF_MEMDIE task could interfere after oom_disbale returns.

      mm, oom: do not rely on TIF_MEMDIE for memory reserves access · cd04ae1e
      Michal Hocko authored
      For ages we have been relying on TIF_MEMDIE thread flag to mark OOM
      victims and then, among other things, to give these threads full access
      to memory reserves.  There are few shortcomings of this implementation,
      though.
      
      First of all and the most serious one is that the full access to memory
      reserves is quite dangerous because we leave no safety room for the
      system to operate and potentially do last emergency steps to move on.
      
      Secondly this flag is per task_struct while the OOM killer operates on
      mm_struct granularity so all processes sharing the given mm are killed.
      Giving the full access to all these task_structs could lead to a quick
      memory reserves depletion.  We have tried to reduce this risk by giving
      TIF_MEMDIE only to the main thread and the currently allocating task but
      that doesn't really solve this problem while it surely opens up a room
      for corner cases - e.g.  GFP_NO{FS,IO} requests might loop inside the
      allocator without access to memory reserves because a particular thread
      was not the group leader.
      
      Now that we have the oom reaper and that all oom victims are reapable
      after 1b51e65e ("oom, oom_reaper: allow to reap mm shared by the
      kthreads") we can be more conservative and grant only partial access to
      memory reserves because there are reasonable chances of the parallel
      memory freeing.  We still want some access to reserves because we do not
      want other consumers to eat up the victim's freed memory.  oom victims
      will still contend with __GFP_HIGH users but those shouldn't be so
      aggressive to starve oom victims completely.
      
      Introduce ALLOC_OOM flag and give all tsk_is_oom_victim tasks access to
      the half of the reserves.  This makes the access to reserves independent
      on which task has passed through mark_oom_victim.  Also drop any usage
      of TIF_MEMDIE from the page allocator proper and replace it by
      tsk_is_oom_victim as well which will make page_alloc.c completely
      TIF_MEMDIE free finally.
      
      CONFIG_MMU=n doesn't have oom reaper so let's stick to the original
      ALLOC_NO_WATERMARKS approach.
      
      There is a demand to make the oom killer memcg aware which will imply
      many tasks killed at once.  This change will allow such a usecase
      without worrying about complete memory reserves depletion.

      z3fold: use per-cpu unbuddied lists · d30561c5
      Vitaly Wool authored
      It's been noted that z3fold doesn't scale well when it's run in a large
      number of threads on many cores, which can be easily reproduced with fio
      'randrw' test with --numjobs=32.  E.g.  the result for 1 cluster (4 cores)
      is:
      
      Run status group 0 (all jobs):
         READ: io=244785MB, aggrb=496883KB/s, minb=15527KB/s, ...
        WRITE: io=246735MB, aggrb=500841KB/s, minb=15651KB/s, ...
      
      While for 8 cores (2 clusters) the result is:
      
      Run status group 0 (all jobs):
         READ: io=244785MB, aggrb=265942KB/s, minb=8310KB/s, ...
        WRITE: io=246735MB, aggrb=268060KB/s, minb=8376KB/s, ...
      
      The bottleneck here is the pool lock which many threads become waiting
      upon.  To reduce that spin lock contention, z3fold can operate only on
      the lists local to the current CPU whenever possible.  Due to the nature
      of z3fold unbuddied list handling (it only takes the first entry off the
      list on a hot path), if the z3fold pool is big enough and balanced well
      enough, limiting search to only local unbuddied list doesn't lead to a
      significant compression ratio degrade (2.57x vs 2.65x in our
      measurements).
      
      This patch also introduces two worker threads: one for async in-page
      object layout optimization and one for releasing freed pages.  This is
      done to speed up z3fold_free() which is often on a hot path.
      
      The fio results for 8-core case are now the following:
      
      Run status group 0 (all jobs):
         READ: io=244785MB, aggrb=1568.3MB/s, minb=50182KB/s, ...
        WRITE: io=246735MB, aggrb=1580.8MB/s, minb=50582KB/s, ...
      
      So we're in for almost 6x performance increase.

      mm, swap: don't use VMA based swap readahead if HDD is used as swap · 81a0298b
      Huang Ying authored
      VMA based swap readahead will readahead the virtual pages that is
      continuous in the virtual address space.  While the original swap
      readahead will readahead the swap slots that is continuous in the swap
      device.  Although VMA based swap readahead is more correct for the swap
      slots to be readahead, it will trigger more small random readings, which
      may cause the performance of HDD (hard disk) to degrade heavily, and may
      finally exceed the benefit.
      
      To avoid the issue, in this patch, if the HDD is used as swap, the VMA
      based swap readahead will be disabled, and the original swap readahead
      will be used instead.

      mm, swap: VMA based swap readahead · ec560175
      Huang Ying authored
      The swap readahead is an important mechanism to reduce the swap in
      latency.  Although pure sequential memory access pattern isn't very
      popular for anonymous memory, the space locality is still considered
      valid.
      
      In the original swap readahead implementation, the consecutive blocks in
      swap device are readahead based on the global space locality estimation.
      But the consecutive blocks in swap device just reflect the order of page
      reclaiming, don't necessarily reflect the access pattern in virtual
      memory.  And the different tasks in the system may have different access
      patterns, which makes the global space locality estimation incorrect.
      
      In this patch, when page fault occurs, the virtual pages near the fault
      address will be readahead instead of the swap slots near the fault swap
      slot in swap device.  This avoid to readahead the unrelated swap slots.
      At the same time, the swap readahead is changed to work on per-VMA from
      globally.  So that the different access patterns of the different VMAs
      could be distinguished, and the different readahead policy could be
      applied accordingly.  The original core readahead detection and scaling
      algorithm is reused, because it is an effect algorithm to detect the
      space locality.
      
      The test and result is as follow,
      
      Common test condition
      =====================
      
      Test Machine: Xeon E5 v3 (2 sockets, 72 threads, 32G RAM) Swap device:
      NVMe disk
      
      Micro-benchmark with combined access pattern
      ============================================
      
      vm-scalability, sequential swap test case, 4 processes to eat 50G
      virtual memory space, repeat the sequential memory writing until 300
      seconds.  The first round writing will trigger swap out, the following
      rounds will trigger sequential swap in and out.
      
      At the same time, run vm-scalability random swap test case in
      background, 8 processes to eat 30G virtual memory space, repeat the
      random memory write until 300 seconds.  This will trigger random swap-in
      in the background.
      
      This is a combined workload with sequential and random memory accessing
      at the same time.  The result (for sequential workload) is as follow,
      
      			Base		Optimized
      			----		---------
      throughput		345413 KB/s	414029 KB/s (+19.9%)

      latency.99th		1.34 ms		1.09 ms
      ra_hit%			52.69%		99.98%
      
      The original swap readahead algorithm is confused by the background
      random access workload, so readahead hit rate is lower.  The VMA-base
      readahead algorithm works much better.

      ra_hit%			86.21%		98.82%
      
      The score of base and optimized kernel hasn't visible changes.  But the
      elapsed time reduced and readahead hit rate improved, so the optimized
      kernel runs better for startup and tear down stages.  And the absolute
      value of readahead hit rate is high, shows that the space locality is
      still valid in some practical workloads.

      mm, swap: fix swap readahead marking · c4fa6309
      Huang Ying authored
      In the original implementation, it is possible that the existing pages
      in the swap cache (not newly readahead) could be marked as the readahead
      pages.  This will cause the statistics of swap readahead be wrong and
      influence the swap readahead algorithm too.
      
      This is fixed via marking a page as the readahead page only if it is
      newly allocated and read from the disk.
      
      When testing with linpack, after the fixing the swap readahead hit rate
      increased from ~66% to ~86%.

      swap statistics.
      
      This new implementation will incur more small random read, on SSD, the
      improved correctness of estimation and readahead target should beat the
      potential increased overhead, this is also illustrated in the test

      kernel runs better for startup and tear down stages.  And the absolute
      value of readahead hit rate is high, shows that the space locality is
      still valid in some practical workloads.
      
      This patch (of 5):
      
      The statistics for total readahead pages and total readahead hits are
      recorded and exported via the following sysfs interface.
      
      /sys/kernel/mm/swap/ra_hits
      /sys/kernel/mm/swap/ra_total
      
      With them, the efficiency of the swap readahead could be measured, so
      that the swap readahead algorithm and parameters could be tuned
      accordingly.
      
      [akpm@linux-foundation.org: don't display swap stats if CONFIG_SWAP=n]

      selftests/memfd: add memfd_create hugetlbfs selftest · 1f522a48
      Mike Kravetz authored
      With the addition of hugetlbfs support in memfd_create, the memfd
      selftests should verify correct functionality with hugetlbfs.
      
      Instead of writing a separate memfd hugetlbfs test, modify the
      memfd_test program to take an optional argument 'hugetlbfs'.  If the
      hugetlbfs argument is specified, basic memfd_create functionality will
      be exercised on hugetlbfs.  If hugetlbfs is not specified, the current
      functionality of the test is unchanged.
      
      Note that many of the tests in memfd_test test file sealing operations.
      hugetlbfs does not support file sealing, therefore for hugetlbfs all
      sealing related tests are skipped.
      
      In order to test on hugetlbfs, there needs to be preallocated huge
      pages.  A new script (run_tests) is added.  This script will first run
      the existing memfd_create tests.  It will then, attempt to allocate the
      required number of huge pages before running the hugetlbfs test.  At the
      end of testing, it will release any huge pages allocated for testing
      purposes.

      mm/shmem: add hugetlbfs support to memfd_create() · 749df87b
      Mike Kravetz authored
      This patch came out of discussions in this e-mail thread:
        http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1499357846-7481-1-git-send-email-mike.kravetz%40oracle.com
      
      The Oracle JVM team is developing a new garbage collection model.  This
      new model requires multiple mappings of the same anonymous memory.  One
      straight forward way to accomplish this is with memfd_create.  They can
      use the returned fd to create multiple mappings of the same memory.
      
      The JVM today has an option to use (static hugetlb) huge pages.  If this
      option is specified, they would like to use the same garbage collection
      model requiring multiple mappings to the same memory.  Using hugetlbfs,
      it is possible to explicitly mount a filesystem and specify file paths
      in order to get an fd that can be used for multiple mappings.  However,
      this introduces additional system admin work and coordination.
      
      Ideally they would like to get a hugetlbfs fd without requiring explicit
      mounting of a filesystem.  Today, mmap and shmget can make use of
      hugetlbfs without explicitly mounting a filesystem.  The patch adds this
      functionality to memfd_create.
      
      Add a new flag MFD_HUGETLB to memfd_create() that will specify the file
      to be created resides in the hugetlbfs filesystem.  This is the generic
      hugetlbfs filesystem not associated with any specific mount point.  As
      with other system calls that request hugetlbfs backed pages, there is
      the ability to encode huge page size in the flag arguments.
      
      hugetlbfs does not support sealing operations, therefore specifying
      MFD_ALLOW_SEALING with MFD_HUGETLB will result in EINVAL.
      
      Of course, the memfd_man page would need updating if this type of
      functionality moves forward.

      mm, devm_memremap_pages: use multi-order radix for ZONE_DEVICE lookups · ab1b597e
      Dan Williams authored
      devm_memremap_pages() records mapped ranges in pgmap_radix with an entry
      per section's worth of memory (128MB).  The key for each of those
      entries is a section number.
      
      This leads to false positives when devm_memremap_pages() is passed a
      section-unaligned range as lookups in the misalignment fail to return
      NULL.  We can close this hole by using the pfn as the key for entries in
      the tree.  The number of entries required to describe a remapped range
      is reduced by leveraging multi-order entries.
      
      In practice this approach usually yields just one entry in the tree if
      the size and starting address are of the same power-of-2 alignment.
      Previously we always needed nr_entries = mapping_size / 128MB.

      mm/vmalloc.c: halve the number of comparisons performed in pcpu_get_vm_areas() · c568da28
      Wei Yang authored
      In pcpu_get_vm_areas(), it checks each range is not overlapped.  To make
      sure it is, only (N^2)/2 comparison is necessary, while current code
      does N^2 times.  By starting from the next range, it achieves the goal
      and the continue could be removed.
      
      Also,
      
       - the overlap check of two ranges could be done with one clause
      
       - one typo in comment is fixed.

      mm, hugetlb: do not allocate non-migrateable gigantic pages from movable zones · 79b63f12
      Michal Hocko authored
      alloc_gigantic_page doesn't consider movability of the gigantic hugetlb
      when scanning eligible ranges for the allocation.  As 1GB hugetlb pages
      are not movable currently this can break the movable zone assumption
      that all allocations are migrateable and as such break memory hotplug.
      
      Reorganize the code and use the standard zonelist allocations scheme
      that we use for standard hugetbl pages.  htlb_alloc_mask will ensure
      that only migratable hugetlb pages will ever see a movable zone.
