autofs: show pipe inode in mount options

This is required for CRIU (Checkpoint Restart In Userspace) to migrate a
mount point when write end in user space is closed.

Below is a brief description of the problem.

To migrate a non-catatonic autofs mount point, one has to restore the
control pipe between kernel and autofs master process.

One of the autofs masters is systemd, which closes pipe write end after
passing it to the kernel with mount call.

To be able to restore the systemd control pipe one has to know which
read pipe end in systemd corresponds to the write pipe end in the
kernel.  The pipe "fd" in mount options is not enough because it was
closed and probably replaced by some other descriptor.

Thus, some other attribute is required to be able to find the read pipe
end.  The best attribute to use to find the correct pipe end is inode
number becuase it's unique for the whole system and can't be reused
while the autofs mount exists.

This attribute can also be used to recognize a situation where an autofs
mount has no master (no process with specified "pgrp" or no file
descriptor with "pipe_ino", specified in autofs mount options).

8 years agokallsyms: add support for relative offsets in kallsyms address table
Ard Biesheuvel [Tue, 15 Mar 2016 21:58:19 +0000 (14:58 -0700)]
kallsyms: add support for relative offsets in kallsyms address table

Similar to how relative extables are implemented, it is possible to emit
the kallsyms table in such a way that it contains offsets relative to
some anchor point in the kernel image rather than absolute addresses.

On 64-bit architectures, it cuts the size of the kallsyms address table
in half, since offsets between kernel symbols can typically be expressed
in 32 bits.  This saves several hundreds of kilobytes of permanent
.rodata on average.  In addition, the kallsyms address table is no
longer subject to dynamic relocation when CONFIG_RELOCATABLE is in
effect, so the relocation work done after decompression now doesn't have
to do relocation updates for all these values.  This saves up to 24
bytes (i.e., the size of a ELF64 RELA relocation table entry) per value,
which easily adds up to a couple of megabytes of uncompressed __init
data on ppc64 or arm64.  Even if these relocation entries typically
compress well, the combined size reduction of 2.8 MB uncompressed for a
ppc64_defconfig build (of which 2.4 MB is __init data) results in a ~500
KB space saving in the compressed image.

Since it is useful for some architectures (like x86) to retain the
ability to emit absolute values as well, this patch also adds support
for capturing both absolute and relative values when
KALLSYMS_ABSOLUTE_PERCPU is in effect, by emitting absolute per-cpu
addresses as positive 32-bit values, and addresses relative to the
lowest encountered relative symbol as negative values, which are
subtracted from the runtime address of this base symbol to produce the
actual address.

Support for the above is enabled by default for all architectures except
IA-64 and Tile-GX, whose symbols are too far apart to capture in this
manner.

8 years agokallsyms: don't overload absolute symbol type for percpu symbols
Ard Biesheuvel [Tue, 15 Mar 2016 21:58:15 +0000 (14:58 -0700)]
kallsyms: don't overload absolute symbol type for percpu symbols

Commit c6bda7c988a5 ("kallsyms: fix percpu vars on x86-64 with
relocation") overloaded the 'A' (absolute) symbol type to signify that a
symbol is not subject to dynamic relocation.  However, the original A
type does not imply that at all, and depending on the version of the
toolchain, many A type symbols are emitted that are in fact relative to
the kernel text, i.e., if the kernel is relocated at runtime, these
symbols should be updated as well.

For instance, on sparc32, the following symbols are emitted as absolute
(kindly provided by Guenter Roeck):

  f035a420 A _etext
  f03d9000 A _sdata
  f03de8c4 A jiffies
  f03f8860 A _edata
  f03fc000 A __init_begin
  f041bdc8 A __init_text_end
  f0423000 A __bss_start
  f0423000 A __init_end
  f044457d A __bss_stop
  f044457d A _end

On x86_64, similar behavior can be observed:

  ffffffff81a00000 A __end_rodata_hpage_align
  ffffffff81b19000 A __vvar_page
  ffffffff81d3d000 A _end

Even if only a couple of them pass the symbol range check that results
in them to be taken into account for the final kallsyms symbol table, it
is obvious that 'A' does not mean the symbol does not need to be updated
at relocation time, and overloading its meaning to signify that is
perhaps not a good idea.

So instead, add a new percpu_absolute member to struct sym_entry, and
when --absolute-percpu is in effect, use it to record symbols whose
addresses should be emitted as final values rather than values that
still require relocation at runtime.  That way, we can drop the check
against the 'A' type.

compaction [1].

In that workload, compaction is triggered to make hugepage but most of
pageblocks are un-available for compaction due to pageblock type and
skip bit so compaction usually fails.  Most costly operations in this
case is to find valid pageblock while scanning whole zone range.  To
check if pageblock is valid to compact, valid pfn within pageblock is
required and we can obtain it by calling pageblock_pfn_to_page().  This
function checks whether pageblock is in a single zone and return valid
pfn if possible.  Problem is that we need to check it every time before
scanning pageblock even if we re-visit it and this turns out to be very
expensive in this workload.

Although we have no way to skip this pageblock check in the system where
hole exists at arbitrary position, we can use cached value for zone
continuity and just do pfn_to_page() in the system where hole doesn't
exist.  This optimization considerably speeds up in above workload.

8 years agomm/compaction: fix invalid free_pfn and compact_cached_free_pfn

mm/compaction: fix invalid free_pfn and compact_cached_free_pfn

free_pfn and compact_cached_free_pfn are the pointer that remember
restart position of freepage scanner.  When they are reset or invalid,
we set them to zone_end_pfn because freepage scanner works in reverse
direction.  But, because zone range is defined as [zone_start_pfn,
zone_end_pfn), zone_end_pfn is invalid to access.  Therefore, we should
not store it to free_pfn and compact_cached_free_pfn.  Instead, we need
to store zone_end_pfn - 1 to them.  There is one more thing we should
consider.  Freepage scanner scan reversely by pageblock unit.  If
free_pfn and compact_cached_free_pfn are set to middle of pageblock, it
regards that sitiation as that it already scans front part of pageblock
so we lose opportunity to scan there.  To fix-up, this patch do
round_down() to guarantee that reset position will be pageblock aligned.

Note that thanks to the current pageblock_pfn_to_page() implementation,
actual access to zone_end_pfn doesn't happen until now.  But, following
patch will change pageblock_pfn_to_page() so this patch is needed from
now on.

The only place that still changes the page->mem_cgroup binding of live
pages is when pages move along with a task to another cgroup.  But that
path isolates the page from the LRU, takes the page lock, and the move
lock (lock_page_memcg()).  That means page->mem_cgroup is always stable
in callers that have the page isolated from the LRU or locked.  Lighter

mm: workingset: eviction buckets for bigmem/lowbit machines

For per-cgroup thrash detection, we need to store the memcg ID inside
the radix tree cookie as well.  However, on 32 bit that doesn't leave
enough bits for the eviction timestamp to cover the necessary range of
recently evicted pages.  The radix tree entry would look like this:

[ RADIX_TREE_EXCEPTIONAL(2) | ZONEID(2) | MEMCGID(16) | EVICTION(12) ]

12 bits means 4096 pages, means 16M worth of recently evicted pages.
But refaults are actionable up to distances covering half of memory.  To
not miss refaults, we have to stretch out the range at the cost of how
precisely we can tell when a page was evicted.  This way we can shave
off lower bits from the eviction timestamp until the necessary range is
covered.  E.g.  grouping evictions into 1M buckets (256 pages) will
stretch the longest representable refault distance to 4G.

This patch implements eviction buckets that are automatically sized
according to the available bits and the necessary refault range, in
preparation for per-cgroup thrash detection.

The maximum actionable distance is currently half of memory, but to
support memory hotplug of up to 200% of boot-time memory, we size the
buckets to cover double the distance.  Beyond that, thrashing won't be
detectable anymore.

During boot, the kernel will print out the exact parameters, like so:

  [    0.113929] workingset: timestamp_bits=12 max_order=18 bucket_order=6

In this example, there are 12 radix entry bits available for the
eviction timestamp, to cover a maximum distance of 2^18 pages (this is a
1G machine).  Consequently, evictions must be grouped into buckets of
2^6 pages, or 256K.

Rename these locking functions to the more generic lock_page_memcg() and
unlock_page_memcg().  Since charge migration is a cgroup1 feature only,

Currently, all newly added memory blocks remain in 'offline' state
unless someone onlines them, some linux distributions carry special udev
rules like:

  SUBSYSTEM=="memory", ACTION=="add", ATTR{state}=="offline", ATTR{state}="online"

to make this happen automatically.  This is not a great solution for
virtual machines where memory hotplug is being used to address high
memory pressure situations as such onlining is slow and a userspace
process doing this (udev) has a chance of being killed by the OOM killer
as it will probably require to allocate some memory.

Introduce default policy for the newly added memory blocks in
/sys/devices/system/memory/auto_online_blocks file with two possible
values: "offline" which preserves the current behavior and "online"
which causes all newly added memory blocks to go online as soon as
they're added.  The default is "offline".

The information in /sys/kernel/debug/page_owner includes the migratetype
of the pageblock the page belongs to.  This is also checked against the
page's migratetype (as declared by gfp_flags during its allocation), and
the page is reported as Fallback if its migratetype differs from the
pageblock's one.  t This is somewhat misleading because in fact fallback
allocation is not the only reason why these two can differ.  It also
doesn't direcly provide the page's migratetype, although it's possible
to derive that from the gfp_flags.

It's arguably better to print both page and pageblock's migratetype and
leave the interpretation to the consumer than to suggest fallback
allocation as the only possible reason.  While at it, we can print the
migratetypes as string the same way as /proc/pagetypeinfo does, as some
of the numeric values depend on kernel configuration.  For that, this
patch moves the migratetype_names array from #ifdef CONFIG_PROC_FS part
of mm/vmstat.c to mm/page_alloc.c and exports it.

With the new format strings for flags, we can now also provide symbolic
page and gfp flags in the /sys/kernel/debug/page_owner file.  This
replaces the positional printing of page flags as single letters, which

mm, printk: introduce new format string for flags

In mm we use several kinds of flags bitfields that are sometimes printed
for debugging purposes, or exported to userspace via sysfs.  To make
them easier to interpret independently on kernel version and config, we
want to dump also the symbolic flag names.  So far this has been done
with repeated calls to pr_cont(), which is unreliable on SMP, and not
usable for e.g.  sysfs export.

To get a more reliable and universal solution, this patch extends
printk() format string for pointers to handle the page flags (%pGp),
gfp_flags (%pGg) and vma flags (%pGv).  Existing users of
dump_flag_names() are converted and simplified.

It would be possible to pass flags by value instead of pointer, but the
%p format string for pointers already has extensions for various kernel
structures, so it's a good fit, and the extra indirection in a
non-critical path is negligible.

mm, tracing: unify mm flags handling in tracepoints and printk

In tracepoints, it's possible to print gfp flags in a human-friendly
format through a macro show_gfp_flags(), which defines a translation
array and passes is to __print_flags().  Since the following patch will
introduce support for gfp flags printing in printk(), it would be nice
to reuse the array.  This is not straightforward, since __print_flags()
can't simply reference an array defined in a .c file such as mm/debug.c
- it has to be a macro to allow the macro magic to communicate the
format to userspace tools such as trace-cmd.

The solution is to create a macro __def_gfpflag_names which is used both
in show_gfp_flags(), and to define the gfpflag_names[] array in
mm/debug.c.

On the other hand, mm/debug.c also defines translation tables for page
flags and vma flags, and desire was expressed (but not implemented in
this series) to use these also from tracepoints.  Thus, this patch also
renames the events/gfpflags.h file to events/mmflags.h and moves the
table definitions there, using the same macro approach as for gfpflags.
This allows translating all three kinds of mm-specific flags both in
tracepoints and printk.

mm: filemap: avoid unnecessary calls to lock_page when waiting for IO to complete during a read

In the generic read paths the kernel looks up a page in the page cache
and if it's up to date, it is used.  If not, the page lock is acquired
to wait for IO to complete and then check the page.  If multiple
processes are waiting on IO, they all serialise against the lock and
duplicate the checks.  This is unnecessary.

The page lock in itself does not give any guarantees to the callers
about the page state as it can be immediately truncated or reclaimed
after the page is unlocked.  It's sufficient to wait_on_page_locked and
then continue if the page is up to date on wakeup.

It is possible that a truncated but up-to-date page is returned but the
reference taken during read prevents it disappearing underneath the
caller and the data is still valid if PageUptodate.

The overall impact is small as even if processes serialise on the lock,
the lock section is tiny once the IO is complete.  Profiles indicated
that unlock_page and friends are generally a tiny portion of a
read-intensive workload.  An artificial test was created that had
instances of dd access a cache-cold file on an ext4 filesystem and
measure how long the read took.

8 years agomm/slub: support left redzone
Joonsoo Kim [Tue, 15 Mar 2016 21:55:12 +0000 (14:55 -0700)]
mm/slub: support left redzone

SLUB already has a redzone debugging feature.  But it is only positioned
at the end of object (aka right redzone) so it cannot catch left oob.
Although current object's right redzone acts as left redzone of next
object, first object in a slab cannot take advantage of this effect.
This patch explicitly adds a left red zone to each object to detect left
oob more precisely.

Background:

Someone complained to me that left OOB doesn't catch even if KASAN is
enabled which does page allocation debugging.  That page is out of our
control so it would be allocated when left OOB happens and, in this
case, we can't find OOB.  Moreover, SLUB debugging feature can be
enabled without page allocator debugging and, in this case, we will miss
that OOB.

Before trying to implement, I expected that changes would be too
complex, but, it doesn't look that complex to me now.  Almost changes
are applied to debug specific functions so I feel okay.

This series takes the suggestion of Christoph Lameter and only focuses
on optimizing the slow path where the debug processing runs.  The two
main optimizations in this series are letting the consistency checks be
skipped and relaxing the cmpxchg restrictions when we are not doing
consistency checks.  With hackbench -g 20 -l 1000 averaged over 100

After slub_debug=P
  mean 10.836

  stdev .394

This still isn't as fast as what is in grsecurity unfortunately so there's
still work to be done.  Profiling ___slab_alloc shows that 25-50% of time
is spent in deactivate_slab.  I haven't looked too closely to see if this
is something that can be optimized.  My plan for now is to focus on
getting all of this merged (if appropriate) before digging in to another
task.

This patch (of 4):

Currently, free_debug_processing has a comment "Keep node_lock to preserve
integrity until the object is actually freed".  In actuallity, the lock is
dropped immediately in __slab_free.  Rather than wait until __slab_free
and potentially throw off the unlikely marking, just drop the lock in
__slab_free.  This also lets free_debug_processing take its own copy of
the spinlock flags rather than trying to share the ones from __slab_free.
Since there is no use for the node afterwards, change the return type of
free_debug_processing to return an int like alloc_debug_processing.

8 years agomm/slab: re-implement pfmemalloc support

mm/slab: re-implement pfmemalloc support

Current implementation of pfmemalloc handling in SLAB has some problems.

1) pfmemalloc_active is set to true when there is just one or more
   pfmemalloc slabs in the system, but it is cleared when there is no
   pfmemalloc slab in one arbitrary kmem_cache.  So, pfmemalloc_active
   could be wrongly cleared.

2) Search to partial and free list doesn't happen when non-pfmemalloc
   object are not found in cpu cache.  Instead, allocating new slab
   happens and it is not optimal.

3) Even after sk_memalloc_socks() is disabled, cpu cache would keep
   pfmemalloc objects tagged with SLAB_OBJ_PFMEMALLOC.  It isn't cleared
   if sk_memalloc_socks() is disabled so it could cause problem.

4) If cpu cache is filled with pfmemalloc objects, it would cause slow
   down non-pfmemalloc allocation.

To me, current pointer tagging approach looks complex and fragile so this
patch re-implement whole thing instead of fixing problems one by one.

Design principle for new implementation is that

1) Don't disrupt non-pfmemalloc allocation in fast path even if
   sk_memalloc_socks() is enabled.  It's more likely case than pfmemalloc
   allocation.

2) Ensure that pfmemalloc slab is used only for pfmemalloc allocation.

3) Don't consider performance of pfmemalloc allocation in memory
   deficiency state.

As a result, all pfmemalloc alloc/free in memory tight state will be
handled in slow-path.  If there is non-pfmemalloc free object, it will be
returned first even for pfmemalloc user in fast-path so that performance
of pfmemalloc user isn't affected in normal case and pfmemalloc objects
will be kept as long as possible.

8 years agomm/slab: introduce new slab management type, OBJFREELIST_SLAB
Joonsoo Kim [Tue, 15 Mar 2016 21:54:50 +0000 (14:54 -0700)]
mm/slab: introduce new slab management type, OBJFREELIST_SLAB

SLAB needs an array to manage freed objects in a slab.  It is only used
if some objects are freed so we can use free object itself as this
array.  This requires additional branch in somewhat critical lock path
to check if it is first freed object or not but that's all we need.
Benefits is that we can save extra memory usage and reduce some
computational overhead by allocating a management array when new slab is
created.

Code change is rather complex than what we can expect from the idea, in
order to handle debugging feature efficiently.  If you want to see core
idea only, please remove '#if DEBUG' block in the patch.

Although this idea can apply to all caches whose size is larger than
management array size, it isn't applied to caches which have a
constructor.  If such cache's object is used for management array,
constructor should be called for it before that object is returned to
user.  I guess that overhead overwhelm benefit in that case so this idea
doesn't applied to them at least now.

For summary, from now on, slab management type is determined by
following logic.

1) if management array size is smaller than object size and no ctor, it
   becomes OBJFREELIST_SLAB.

2) if management array size is smaller than leftover, it becomes
   NORMAL_SLAB which uses leftover as a array.

3) if OFF_SLAB help to save memory than way 4), it becomes OFF_SLAB.
   It allocate a management array from the other cache so memory waste
   happens.

4) others become NORMAL_SLAB.  It uses dedicated internal memory in a
   slab as a management array so it causes memory waste.

In my system, without enabling CONFIG_DEBUG_SLAB, Almost caches become
OBJFREELIST_SLAB and NORMAL_SLAB (using leftover) which doesn't waste
memory.  Following is the result of number of caches with specific slab
management type.

TOTAL = OBJFREELIST + NORMAL(leftover) + NORMAL + OFF

/Before/
126 = 0 + 60 + 25 + 41

/After/
126 = 97 + 12 + 15 + 2

Result shows that number of caches that doesn't waste memory increase
from 60 to 109.

I did some benchmarking and it looks that benefit are more than loss.

waste because debug pagealloc cannot work for it when it isn't the off
slab.  To improve this situation, this patch checks first that this
cache with increased size is suitable for off slab.  It actually
increases cache size when it is suitable for off-slab, so possible waste
is removed.

8 years agomm/slab: put the freelist at the end of slab page

mm/slab: put the freelist at the end of slab page

Currently, the freelist is at the front of slab page.  This requires
extra space to meet object alignment requirement.  If we put the
freelist at the end of a slab page, objects could start at page boundary
and will be at correct alignment.  This is possible because freelist has
no alignment constraint itself.

This gives us two benefits: It removes extra memory space for the
freelist alignment and remove complex calculation at cache
initialization step.  I can't think notable drawback here.

I mentioned that this would reduce extra memory space, but, this benefit
is rather theoretical because it can be applied to very few cases.
Following is the example cache type that can get benefit from this
change.

  size align num before after
    32    8  124  4100  4092

    64   32   63  4127  4095
    96   32   42  4106  4074

before means whole size for objects and aligned freelist before applying
patch and after shows the result of this patch.

Since before is more than 4096, number of object should decrease and
memory waste happens.

Anyway, this patch removes complex calculation so looks beneficial to
me.

mm/slab: alternative implementation for DEBUG_SLAB_LEAK

DEBUG_SLAB_LEAK is a debug option.  It's current implementation requires
status buffer so we need more memory to use it.  And, it cause
kmem_cache initialization step more complex.

To remove this extra memory usage and to simplify initialization step,
this patch implement this feature with another way.

When user requests to get slab object owner information, it marks that
getting information is started.  And then, all free objects in caches
are flushed to corresponding slab page.  Now, we can distinguish all
freed object so we can know all allocated objects, too.  After
collecting slab object owner information on allocated objects, mark is
checked that there is no free during the processing.  If true, we can be
sure that our information is correct so information is returned to user.

Although this way is rather complex, it has two important benefits
mentioned above.  So, I think it is worth changing.

There is one drawback that it takes more time to get slab object owner
information but it is just a debug option so it doesn't matter at all.

To help review, this patch implements new way only.  Following patch

mm/slab: fix stale code comment

This patchset implements a new freed object management way, that is,
OBJFREELIST_SLAB.  Purpose of it is to reduce memory overhead in SLAB.

SLAB needs a array to manage freed objects in a slab.  If there is
leftover after objects are packed into a slab, we can use it as a
management array, and, in this case, there is no memory waste.  But, in
the other cases, we need to allocate extra memory for a management array
or utilize dedicated internal memory in a slab for it.  Both cases
causes memory waste so it's not good.

With this patchset, freed object itself can be used for a management
array.  So, memory waste could be reduced.  Detailed idea and numbers
are described in last patch's commit description.  Please refer it.

In fact, I tested another idea implementing OBJFREELIST_SLAB with
extendable linked array through another freed object.  It can remove
memory waste completely but it causes more computational overhead in
critical lock path and it seems that overhead outweigh benefit.  So,
this patchset doesn't include it.  I will attach prototype just for a
reference.

This patch (of 16):

We use freelist_idx_t type for free object management whose size would be
smaller than size of unsigned int.  Fix it.

8 years agomm: new API kfree_bulk() for SLAB+SLUB allocators
Jesper Dangaard Brouer [Tue, 15 Mar 2016 21:54:00 +0000 (14:54 -0700)]
mm: new API kfree_bulk() for SLAB+SLUB allocators

This patch introduce a new API call kfree_bulk() for bulk freeing memory
objects not bound to a single kmem_cache.

Christoph pointed out that it is possible to implement freeing of
objects, without knowing the kmem_cache pointer as that information is
available from the object's page->slab_cache.  Proposing to remove the
kmem_cache argument from the bulk free API.

Jesper demonstrated that these extra steps per object comes at a
performance cost.  It is only in the case CONFIG_MEMCG_KMEM is compiled
in and activated runtime that these steps are done anyhow.  The extra
cost is most visible for SLAB allocator, because the SLUB allocator does
the page lookup (virt_to_head_page()) anyhow.

Thus, the conclusion was to keep the kmem_cache free bulk API with a
kmem_cache pointer, but we can still implement a kfree_bulk() API fairly
easily.  Simply by handling if kmem_cache_free_bulk() gets called with a
kmem_cache NULL pointer.

This does increase the code size a bit, but implementing a separate
kfree_bulk() call would likely increase code size even more.

Below benchmarks cost of alloc+free (obj size 256 bytes) on CPU i7-4790K
@ 4.00GHz, no PREEMPT and CONFIG_MEMCG_KMEM=y.

slab: implement bulk free in SLAB allocator

This patch implements the free side of bulk API for the SLAB allocator
kmem_cache_free_bulk(), and concludes the implementation of optimized
bulk API for SLAB allocator.

Benchmarked[1] cost of alloc+free (obj size 256 bytes) on CPU i7-4790K @

8 years agoslab: use slab_post_alloc_hook in SLAB allocator shared with SLUB

slab: use slab_post_alloc_hook in SLAB allocator shared with SLUB

Reviewers notice that the order in slab_post_alloc_hook() of
kmemcheck_slab_alloc() and kmemleak_alloc_recursive() gets swapped
compared to slab.c / SLAB allocator.

Also notice memset now occurs before calling kmemcheck_slab_alloc() and
kmemleak_alloc_recursive().

I assume this reordering of kmemcheck, kmemleak and memset is okay
because this is the order they are used by the SLUB allocator.

This patch completes the sharing of alloc_hook's between SLUB and SLAB.

8 years agomm: kmemcheck skip object if slab allocation failed
Jesper Dangaard Brouer [Tue, 15 Mar 2016 21:53:44 +0000 (14:53 -0700)]
mm: kmemcheck skip object if slab allocation failed

In the SLAB allocator kmemcheck_slab_alloc() is guarded against being
called in case the object is NULL.  In SLUB allocator this NULL pointer
invocation can happen, which seems like an oversight.

Move the NULL pointer check into kmemcheck code (kmemcheck_slab_alloc)
so the check gets moved out of the fastpath, when not compiled with
CONFIG_KMEMCHECK.

This is a step towards sharing post_alloc_hook between SLUB and SLAB,
because slab_post_alloc_hook() does not perform this check before
calling kmemcheck_slab_alloc().
