mm: numa: Migrate pages handled during a pmd_numa hinting fault
To say that the PMD handling code was incorrectly transferred from autonuma
is an understatement. The intention was to handle a PMDs worth of pages
in the same fault and effectively batch the taking of the PTL and page
migration. The copied version instead has the impact of clearing a number
of pte_numa PTE entries and whether any page migration takes place depends
on racing. This just happens to work in some cases.
This patch handles pte_numa faults in batch when a pmd_numa fault is
handled. The pages are migrated if they are currently misplaced.
Essentially this is making an assumption that NUMA locality is
on a PMD boundary but that could be addressed by only setting
pmd_numa if all the pages within that PMD are on the same node
if necessary.

mm: numa: Add pte updates, hinting and migration stats
It is tricky to quantify the basic cost of automatic NUMA placement in a
meaningful manner. This patch adds some vmstats that can be used as part
of a basic costing model.
u = basic unit = sizeof(void *)
Ca = cost of struct page access = sizeof(struct page) / u
Cpte = Cost PTE access = Ca
Cupdate = Cost PTE update = (2 * Cpte) + (2 * Wlock)
where Cpte is incurred twice for a read and a write and Wlock
is a constant representing the cost of taking or releasing a
lock
Cnumahint = Cost of a minor page fault = some high constant e.g. 1000
Cpagerw = Cost to read or write a full page = Ca + PAGE_SIZE/u
Ci = Cost of page isolation = Ca + Wi
where Wi is a constant that should reflect the approximate cost
of the locking operation
Cpagecopy = Cpagerw + (Cpagerw * Wnuma) + Ci + (Ci * Wnuma)
where Wnuma is the approximate NUMA factor. 1 is local. 1.2
would imply that remote accesses are 20% more expensive
Note that numa_pages_migrated is used as a measure of how many pages
were isolated even though it would miss pages that failed to migrate. A
vmstat counter could have been added for it but the isolation cost is
pretty marginal in comparison to the overall cost so it seemed overkill.
The ideal way to measure automatic placement benefit would be to count
the number of remote accesses versus local accesses and do something like
but the information is not readily available. As a workload converges, the
expection would be that the number of remote numa hints would reduce to 0.
convergence = numa_hint_faults_local / numa_hint_faults
where this is measured for the last N number of
numa hints recorded. When the workload is fully
converged the value is 1.
This can measure if the placement policy is converging and how fast it is
doing it.

mm: sched: numa: Implement slow start for working set sampling
Add a 1 second delay before starting to scan the working set of

[ note that before the constant per task WSS sampling rate patch

The theory is that short-run tasks benefit very little from NUMA
placement: they come and go, and they better stick to the node
they were started on. As tasks mature and rebalance to other CPUs
and nodes, so does their NUMA placement have to change and so
does it start to matter more and more.
In practice this change fixes an observable kbuild regression:

mm: sched: numa: Implement constant, per task Working Set Sampling (WSS) rate
Previously, to probe the working set of a task, we'd use
a very simple and crude method: mark all of its address
space PROT_NONE.
That method has various (obvious) disadvantages:
- it samples the working set at dissimilar rates,
giving some tasks a sampling quality advantage
over others.
- creates performance problems for tasks with very
large working sets
- over-samples processes with large address spaces but
which only very rarely execute
Improve that method by keeping a rotating offset into the
address space that marks the current position of the scan,
and advance it by a constant rate (in a CPU cycles execution
proportional manner). If the offset reaches the last mapped
address of the mm then it then it starts over at the first
address.
The per-task nature of the working set sampling functionality in this tree
allows such constant rate, per task, execution-weight proportional sampling
of the working set, with an adaptive sampling interval/frequency that
goes from once per 100ms up to just once per 8 seconds. The current
sampling volume is 256 MB per interval.
As tasks mature and converge their working set, so does the
sampling rate slow down to just a trickle, 256 MB per 8
seconds of CPU time executed.
This, beyond being adaptive, also rate-limits rarely
executing systems and does not over-sample on overloaded
systems.
[ In AutoNUMA speak, this patch deals with the effective sampling
rate of the 'hinting page fault'. AutoNUMA's scanning is
currently rate-limited, but it is also fundamentally
single-threaded, executing in the knuma_scand kernel thread,
so the limit in AutoNUMA is global and does not scale up with
the number of CPUs, nor does it scan tasks in an execution
proportional manner.
So the idea of rate-limiting the scanning was first implemented
in the AutoNUMA tree via a global rate limit. This patch goes
beyond that by implementing an execution rate proportional
working set sampling rate that is not implemented via a single
global scanning daemon. ]

The objective of _PAGE_NUMA is to be able to trigger NUMA hinting page
faults to identify the per NUMA node working set of the thread at
runtime.
Arming the NUMA hinting page fault mechanism works similarly to
setting up a mprotect(PROT_NONE) virtual range: the present bit is
cleared at the same time that _PAGE_NUMA is set, so when the fault
triggers we can identify it as a NUMA hinting page fault.
_PAGE_NUMA on x86 shares the same bit number of _PAGE_PROTNONE (but it
could also use a different bitflag, it's up to the architecture to
decide).
It would be confusing to call the "NUMA hinting page faults" as
"do_prot_none faults". They're different events and _PAGE_NUMA doesn't
alter the semantics of mprotect(PROT_NONE) in any way.
Sharing the same bitflag with _PAGE_PROTNONE in fact complicates
things: it requires us to ensure the code paths executed by
_PAGE_PROTNONE remains mutually exclusive to the code paths executed
by _PAGE_NUMA at all times, to avoid _PAGE_NUMA and _PAGE_PROTNONE to
step into each other toes.
Because we want to be able to set this bitflag in any established pte
or pmd (while clearing the present bit at the same time) without
losing information, this bitflag must never be set when the pte and
pmd are present, so the bitflag picked for _PAGE_NUMA usage, must not
be used by the swap entry format.

mm: compaction: Add scanned and isolated counters for compaction
Compaction already has tracepoints to count scanned and isolated pages

written to disk then it can be disruptive. This patch adds vmstat counters
for compaction called compact_migrate_scanned, compact_free_scanned and
compact_isolated.
With these counters, it is possible to define a basic cost model for
compaction. This approximates of how much work compaction is doing and can
be compared that with an oprofile showing TLB misses and see if the cost of
compaction is being offset by THP for example. Minimally a compaction patch
can be evaluated in terms of whether it increases or decreases cost. The
basic cost model looks like this
Fundamental unit u: a word sizeof(void *)
Ca = cost of struct page access = sizeof(struct page) / u
Cmc = Cost migrate page copy = (Ca + PAGE_SIZE/u) * 2
Cmf = Cost migrate failure = Ca * 2
Ci = Cost page isolation = (Ca + Wi)
where Wi is a constant that should reflect the approximate
cost of the locking operation.
Csm = Cost migrate scanning = Ca
Csf = Cost free scanning = Ca
This is very basic and ignores certain costs such as the allocation cost
to do a migrate page copy but any improvement to the model would still
use the same vmstat counters.

Reuse the NUMA code's 'modified page protections' count that

Given that mprotect() already optimizes the same-flags case
I expected this optimization to dominantly trigger on
CONFIG_NUMA_BALANCING=y kernels - but even with that feature
disabled it triggers rather often.
There's two reasons for that:
1)
While sys_mprotect() already optimizes the same-flag case:
and this test works in many cases, but it is too sharp in some
others, where it differentiates between protection values that the
underlying PTE format makes no distinction about, such as
PROT_EXEC == PROT_READ on x86.
2)
Even where the pte format over vma flag changes necessiates a
modification of the pagetables, there might be no pagetables
yet to modify: they might not be instantiated yet.
During a regular desktop bootup this optimization hits a couple
of hundred times. During a Java test I measured thousands of
hits.
So this optimization improves sys_mprotect() in general, not just
CONFIG_NUMA_BALANCING=y kernels.
[ We could further increase the efficiency of this optimization if
change_pte_range() and change_huge_pmd() was a bit smarter about
recognizing exact-same-value protection masks - when the hardware
can do that safely. This would probably further speed up mprotect(). ]

pte_alloc_map() is smart enough to check if a PTE is already present

PTEs may be allocated unnecessarily and the page table lock taken.
Thi useless PTE does get cleaned up but it's a performance hit which

mm,generic: only flush the local TLB in ptep_set_access_flags
The function ptep_set_access_flags is only ever used to upgrade
access permissions to a page. That means the only negative side
effect of not flushing remote TLBs is that other CPUs may incur
spurious page faults, if they happen to access the same address,
and still have a PTE with the old permissions cached in their
TLB.
Having another CPU maybe incur a spurious page fault is faster
than always incurring the cost of a remote TLB flush, so replace
the remote TLB flush with a purely local one.
This should be safe on every architecture that correctly
implements flush_tlb_fix_spurious_fault() to actually invalidate
the local TLB entry that caused a page fault, as well as on
architectures where the hardware invalidates TLB entries that
cause page faults.
In the unlikely event that you are hitting what appears to be
an infinite loop of page faults, and 'git bisect' took you to
this changeset, your architecture needs to implement
flush_tlb_fix_spurious_fault to actually flush the TLB entry.

x86: mm: drop TLB flush from ptep_set_access_flags
Intel has an architectural guarantee that the TLB entry causing
a page fault gets invalidated automatically. This means
we should be able to drop the local TLB invalidation.
Because of the way other areas of the page fault code work,
chances are good that all x86 CPUs do this. However, if
someone somewhere has an x86 CPU that does not invalidate
the TLB entry causing a page fault, this one-liner should
be easy to revert.

The function ptep_set_access_flags() is only ever invoked to set access
flags or add write permission on a PTE. The write bit is only ever set
together with the dirty bit.
Because we only ever upgrade a PTE, it is safe to skip flushing entries on
remote TLBs. The worst that can happen is a spurious page fault on other
CPUs, which would flush that TLB entry.
Lazily letting another CPU incur a spurious page fault occasionally is
(much!) cheaper than aggressively flushing everybody else's TLB.

revert "mm: fix-up zone present pages"
Revert commit 7f1290f2f2a4 ("mm: fix-up zone present pages")
That patch tried to fix a issue when calculating zone->present_pages,
but it caused a regression on 32bit systems with HIGHMEM. With that
change, reset_zone_present_pages() resets all zone->present_pages to
zero, and fixup_zone_present_pages() is called to recalculate
zone->present_pages when the boot allocator frees core memory pages into
buddy allocator. Because highmem pages are not freed by bootmem
allocator, all highmem zones' present_pages becomes zero.
Various options for improving the situation are being discussed but for
now, let's return to the 3.6 code.

tmpfs: change final i_blocks BUG to WARNING
Under a particular load on one machine, I have hit shmem_evict_inode()'s
BUG_ON(inode->i_blocks), enough times to narrow it down to a particular
race between swapout and eviction.
It comes from the "if (freed > 0)" asymmetry in shmem_recalc_inode(),
and the lack of coherent locking between mapping's nrpages and shmem's
swapped count. There's a window in shmem_writepage(), between lowering
nrpages in shmem_delete_from_page_cache() and then raising swapped
count, when the freed count appears to be +1 when it should be 0, and
then the asymmetry stops it from being corrected with -1 before hitting
the BUG.
One answer is coherent locking: using tree_lock throughout, without
info->lock; reasonable, but the raw_spin_lock in percpu_counter_add() on
used_blocks makes that messier than expected. Another answer may be a
further effort to eliminate the weird shmem_recalc_inode() altogether,
but previous attempts at that failed.
So far undecided, but for now change the BUG_ON to WARN_ON: in usual
circumstances it remains a useful consistency check.
Thanks to Johannes for pointing to truncation: free_swap_and_cache()
only does a trylock on the page, so the page lock we've held since
before confirming swap is not enough to protect against truncation.
What cleanup is needed in this case? Just delete_from_swap_cache(),
which takes care of the memcg uncharge.

kmap_to_page returns the corresponding struct page for a virtual address

falls in the pkmap region and using the pkmap page tables instead of the
linear mapping if appropriate.
Unfortunately, the bounds checking means that PKMAP_ADDR(LAST_PKMAP) is

mm: revert "mm: vmscan: scale number of pages reclaimed by reclaim/compaction based on failures"
Jiri Slaby reported the following:
(It's an effective revert of "mm: vmscan: scale number of pages
reclaimed by reclaim/compaction based on failures".) Given kswapd
had hours of runtime in ps/top output yesterday in the morning
and after the revert it's now 2 minutes in sum for the last 24h,
I would say, it's gone.
The intention of the patch in question was to compensate for the loss of
lumpy reclaim. Part of the reason lumpy reclaim worked is because it
aggressively reclaimed pages and this patch was meant to be a sane
compromise.
When compaction fails, it gets deferred and both compaction and
reclaim/compaction is deferred avoid excessive reclaim. However, since
commit c654345924f7 ("mm: remove __GFP_NO_KSWAPD"), kswapd is woken up
each time and continues reclaiming which was not taken into account when
the patch was developed.
Attempts to address the problem ended up just changing the shape of the
problem instead of fixing it. The release window gets closer and while
a THP allocation failing is not a major problem, kswapd chewing up a lot
of CPU is.
This patch reverts commit 83fde0f22872 ("mm: vmscan: scale number of
pages reclaimed by reclaim/compaction based on failures") and will be
revisited in the future.

memcg: fix hotplugged memory zone oops
When MEMCG is configured on (even when it's disabled by boot option),
when adding or removing a page to/from its lru list, the zone pointer
used for stats updates is nowadays taken from the struct lruvec. (On
many configurations, calculating zone from page is slower.)
But we have no code to update all the lruvecs (per zone, per memcg) when
a memory node is hotadded. Here's an extract from the oops which
results when running numactl to bind a program to a newly onlined node:
BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at 0000000000000f60

lru_add_drain+0x2f/0x40
...
The natural solution might be to use a memcg callback whenever memory is
hotadded; but that solution has not been scoped out, and it happens that
we do have an easy location at which to update lruvec->zone. The lruvec
pointer is discovered either by mem_cgroup_zone_lruvec() or by
mem_cgroup_page_lruvec(), and both of those do know the right zone.
So check and set lruvec->zone in those; and remove the inadequate
attempt to set lruvec->zone from lruvec_init(), which is called before
NODE_DATA(node) has been allocated in such cases.
Ah, there was one exceptionr. For no particularly good reason,
mem_cgroup_force_empty_list() has its own code for deciding lruvec.
Change it to use the standard mem_cgroup_zone_lruvec() and
mem_cgroup_get_lru_size() too. In fact it was already safe against such
an oops (the lru lists in danger could only be empty), but we're better
proofed against future changes this way.
I've marked this for stable (3.6) since we introduced the problem in 3.5
(now closed to stable); but I have no idea if this is the only fix
needed to get memory hotadd working with memcg in 3.6, and received no
answer when I enquired twice before.

memcg: oom: fix totalpages calculation for memory.swappiness==0
oom_badness() takes a totalpages argument which says how many pages are
available and it uses it as a base for the score calculation. The value
is calculated by mem_cgroup_get_limit which considers both limit and
total_swap_pages (resp. memsw portion of it).
This is usually correct but since fe35004fbf9e ("mm: avoid swapping out
with swappiness==0") we do not swap when swappiness is 0 which means
that we cannot really use up all the totalpages pages. This in turn
confuses oom score calculation if the memcg limit is much smaller than
the available swap because the used memory (capped by the limit) is
negligible comparing to totalpages so the resulting score is too small
if adj!=0 (typically task with CAP_SYS_ADMIN or non zero oom_score_adj).
A wrong process might be selected as result.
The problem can be worked around by checking mem_cgroup_swappiness==0
and not considering swap at all in such a case.

arm64: Distinguish between user and kernel XN bits
On AArch64, the meaning of the XN bit has changed to UXN (user). The PXN
(privileged) bit must be set to prevent kernel execution. Without the
PXN bit set, the CPU may speculatively access device memory. This patch
ensures that all the mappings that the kernel must not execute from
(including user mappings) have the PXN bit set.

s390/3215: fix tty close handling
The 3215 console always has the RAW3215_FIXED flag set, which causes
raw3215_shutdown() not to wait for outstanding I/O requests if an attached
tty gets closed.
The flag however can be simply removed, so we can guarantee that all requests
belonging to the tty have been processed when the tty is closed.
However the tasklet that belongs to the 3215 device may be scheduled even if
there is no tty attached anymore, since we have a race between console and tty
processing.
Thefore unconditional tty_wakekup() in raw3215_wakeup() can cause the following
NULL pointer dereference:
The easiest solution is simply to check if tty is NULL in the tasklet.
If it is NULL nothing is to do (no tty attached), otherwise tty_wakeup()
can be called, since we hold a reference to the tty.
This is not nice... but it is a small patch and it works.

net/smsc911x: Fix ready check in cases where WORD_SWAP is needed
The chip ready check added by the commit 3ac3546e [Always wait for
the chip to be ready] does not work when the register read/write
is word swapped. This check has been added before the WORD_SWAP
register is programmed, so we need to check for swapped register
value as well.
Bit 16 is marked as RESERVED in SMSC datasheet, Steve Glendinning
<steve@shawell.net> checked with SMSC and wrote:
The chip architects have concluded we should be reading PMT_CTRL
until we see any of bits 0, 8, 16 or 24 set. Then we should read
BYTE_TEST to check the byte order is correct (as we already do).
The rationale behind this is that some of the chip variants have
word order swapping features too, so the READY bit could actually
be in any of the 4 possible locations. The architects have confirmed
that if any of these 4 positions is set the chip is ready. The other
3 locations will either never be set or can only go high after READY
does (so also indicate the device is ready).
This change will check for the READY bit at the 16th position. We do
not check the other two cases (bit 8 and 24) since the driver does not
support byte-swapped register read/write.

pstore: Fix NULL pointer dereference in console writes
Passing a NULL id causes a NULL pointer deference in writers such as
erst_writer and efi_pstore_write because they expect to update this id.
Pass a dummy id instead.
This avoids a cascade of oopses caused when the initial
pstore_console_write passes a null which in turn causes writes to the
console causing further oopses in subsequent pstore_console_write calls.
