Using bin_attributes with a 0 size causes fstat and friends to return that
0 size. This breaks userspace code that retrieves the size before reading
the file. Rather than reverting 75bd50fa841 ("drivers/base/node.c: use
bin_attribute to break the size limitation of cpumap ABI") let's put in a
size value at compile time.

For cpulist the maximum size is on the order of
	NR_CPUS * (ceil(log10(NR_CPUS)) + 1)/2

which for 8192 is 20480 (8192 * 5)/2. In order to get near that you'd need
a system with every other CPU on one node. For example: (0,2,4,8, ... ).
To simplify the math and support larger NR_CPUS in the future we are using
(NR_CPUS * 7)/2. We also set it to a min of PAGE_SIZE to retain the older
behavior for smaller NR_CPUS.

The cpumap file the size works out to be NR_CPUS/4 + NR_CPUS/32 - 1
(or NR_CPUS * 9/32 - 1) including the ","s.

Add a set of macros for these values to cpumask.h so they can be used in
multiple places. Apply these to the handful of such files in
drivers/base/topology.c as well as node.c.

As an example, on an 80 cpu 4-node system (NR_CPUS == 8192):

before:

-r--r--r--. 1 root root 0 Jul 12 14:08 system/node/node0/cpulist
-r--r--r--. 1 root root 0 Jul 11 17:25 system/node/node0/cpumap

after:

-r--r--r--. 1 root root 28672 Jul 13 11:32 system/node/node0/cpulist
-r--r--r--. 1 root root  4096 Jul 13 11:31 system/node/node0/cpumap

CONFIG_NR_CPUS = 16384
-r--r--r--. 1 root root 57344 Jul 13 14:03 system/node/node0/cpulist
-r--r--r--. 1 root root  4607 Jul 13 14:02 system/node/node0/cpumap

The actual number of cpus doesn't matter for the reported size since they
are based on NR_CPUS.

test_pages_in_a_zone() is just another nasty PFN walker that can easily
stumble over ZONE_DEVICE memory ranges falling into the same memory block
as ordinary system RAM: the memmap of parts of these ranges might possibly
be uninitialized.  In fact, we observed (on an older kernel) with UBSAN:

We seem to stumble over a memmap that contains a garbage zone id.  While
we could try inserting pfn_to_online_page() calls, it will just make
memory offlining slower, because we use test_pages_in_a_zone() to make
sure we're offlining pages that all belong to the same zone.

Let's just get rid of this PFN walker and determine the single zone of a
memory block -- if any -- for early memory blocks during boot.  For memory
onlining, we know the single zone already.  Let's avoid any additional
memmap scanning and just rely on the zone information available during
boot.

For memory hot(un)plug, we only really care about memory blocks that:
* span a single zone (and, thereby, a single node)
* are completely System RAM (IOW, no holes, no ZONE_DEVICE)
If one of these conditions is not met, we reject memory offlining.
Hotplugged memory blocks (starting out offline), always meet both
conditions.

There are three scenarios to handle:

(1) Memory hot(un)plug

A memory block with zone == NULL cannot be offlined, corresponding to
our previous test_pages_in_a_zone() check.

After successful memory onlining/offlining, we simply set the zone
accordingly.
* Memory onlining: set the zone we just used for onlining
* Memory offlining: set zone = NULL

So a hotplugged memory block starts with zone = NULL. Once memory
onlining is done, we set the proper zone.

(2) Boot memory with !CONFIG_NUMA

We know that there is just a single pgdat, so we simply scan all zones
of that pgdat for an intersection with our memory block PFN range when
adding the memory block. If more than one zone intersects (e.g., DMA and
DMA32 on x86 for the first memory block) we set zone = NULL and
consequently mimic what test_pages_in_a_zone() used to do.

(3) Boot memory with CONFIG_NUMA

At the point in time we create the memory block devices during boot, we
don't know yet which nodes *actually* span a memory block. While we could
scan all zones of all nodes for intersections, overlapping nodes complicate
the situation and scanning all nodes is possibly expensive. But that
problem has already been solved by the code that sets the node of a memory
block and creates the link in the sysfs --
do_register_memory_block_under_node().

So, we hook into the code that sets the node id for a memory block. If
we already have a different node id set for the memory block, we know
that multiple nodes *actually* have PFNs falling into our memory block:
we set zone = NULL and consequently mimic what test_pages_in_a_zone() used
to do. If there is no node id set, we do the same as (2) for the given
node.

Note that the call order in driver_init() is:
-&gt; memory_dev_init(): create memory block devices
-&gt; node_dev_init(): link memory block devices to the node and set the
		    node id

So in summary, we detect if there is a single zone responsible for this
memory block and we consequently store the zone in that case in the
memory block, updating it during memory onlining/offlining.

Patch series "drivers/base/memory: determine and store zone for single-zone memory blocks", v2.

I remember talking to Michal in the past about removing
test_pages_in_a_zone(), which we use for:
* verifying that a memory block we intend to offline is really only managed
  by a single zone. We don't support offlining of memory blocks that are
  managed by multiple zones (e.g., multiple nodes, DMA and DMA32)
* exposing that zone to user space via
  /sys/devices/system/memory/memory*/valid_zones

Now that I identified some more cases where test_pages_in_a_zone() might
go wrong, and we received an UBSAN report (see patch #3), let's get rid of
this PFN walker.

So instead of detecting the zone at runtime with test_pages_in_a_zone() by
scanning the memmap, let's determine and remember for each memory block if
it's managed by a single zone.  The stored zone can then be used for the
above two cases, avoiding a manual lookup using test_pages_in_a_zone().

This avoids eventually stumbling over uninitialized memmaps in corner
cases, especially when ZONE_DEVICE ranges partly fall into memory block
(that are responsible for managing System RAM).

Handling memory onlining is easy, because we online to exactly one zone.
Handling boot memory is more tricky, because we want to avoid scanning all
zones of all nodes to detect possible zones that overlap with the physical
memory region of interest.  Fortunately, we already have code that
determines the applicable nodes for a memory block, to create sysfs links
-- we'll hook into that.

Patch #1 is a simple cleanup I had laying around for a longer time.
Patch #2 contains the main logic to remove test_pages_in_a_zone() and
further details.

This patch (of 2):

Let's adjust the stale terminology, making it match
unregister_memory_block_under_nodes() and
do_register_memory_block_under_node().  We're dealing with memory block
devices, which span 1..X memory sections.

determines the applicable nodes for a memory block, to create sysfs links
-- we'll hook into that.

Patch #1 is a simple cleanup I had laying around for a longer time.
Patch #2 contains the main logic to remove test_pages_in_a_zone() and
further details.

This patch (of 2):

Let's adjust the stale terminology, making it match
unregister_memory_block_under_nodes() and
do_register_memory_block_under_node().  We're dealing with memory block
devices, which span 1..X memory sections.

<title>drivers/base/node: consolidate node device subsystem initialization in node_dev_init()</title>

...  and call node_dev_init() after memory_dev_init() from driver_init(),
so before any of the existing arch/subsys calls.  All online nodes should
be known at that point: early during boot, arch code determines node and
zone ranges and sets the relevant nodes online; usually this happens in
setup_arch().

This is in line with memory_dev_init(), which initializes the memory
device subsystem and creates all memory block devices.

Similar to memory_dev_init(), panic() if anything goes wrong, we don't
want to continue with such basic initialization errors.

The important part is that node_dev_init() gets called after
memory_dev_init() and after cpu_dev_init(), but before any of the relevant
archs call register_cpu() to register the new cpu device under the node
device.  The latter should be the case for the current users of
topology_init().

<title>x86/sgx: Add an attribute for the amount of SGX memory in a NUMA node</title>
<updated>2021-12-09T15:02:22+00:00</updated>

<link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='https://git.toradex.cn/cgit/linux-toradex.git/commit/?id=50468e4313355b161cac8a5155a45832995b7f25'/>
<id>50468e4313355b161cac8a5155a45832995b7f25</id>
<content type='text'>
== Problem ==

The amount of SGX memory on a system is determined by the BIOS and it
varies wildly between systems.  It can be as small as dozens of MB's
and as large as many GB's on servers.  Just like how applications need
to know how much regular RAM is available, enclave builders need to
know how much SGX memory an enclave can consume.

== Solution ==

Introduce a new sysfs file:

	/sys/devices/system/node/nodeX/x86/sgx_total_bytes

to enumerate the amount of SGX memory available in each NUMA node.
This serves the same function for SGX as /proc/meminfo or
/sys/devices/system/node/nodeX/meminfo does for normal RAM.

'sgx_total_bytes' is needed today to help drive the SGX selftests.
SGX-specific swap code is exercised by creating overcommitted enclaves
which are larger than the physical SGX memory on the system.  They
currently use a CPUID-based approach which can diverge from the actual
amount of SGX memory available.  'sgx_total_bytes' ensures that the
selftests can work efficiently and do not attempt stupid things like
creating a 100,000 MB enclave on a system with 128 MB of SGX memory.

== Implementation Details ==

Introduce CONFIG_HAVE_ARCH_NODE_DEV_GROUP opt-in flag to expose an
arch specific attribute group, and add an attribute for the amount of
SGX memory in bytes to each NUMA node:

== ABI Design Discussion ==

As opposed to the per-node ABI, a single, global ABI was considered.
However, this would prevent enclaves from being able to size
themselves so that they fit on a single NUMA node.  Essentially, a
single value would rule out NUMA optimizations for enclaves.

Create a new "x86/" directory inside each "nodeX/" sysfs directory.
'sgx_total_bytes' is expected to be the first of at least a few
sgx-specific files to be placed in the new directory.  Just scanning
/proc/meminfo, these are the no-brainers that we have for RAM, but we
need for SGX:

	MemTotal:       xxxx kB // sgx_total_bytes (implemented here)
	MemFree:        yyyy kB // sgx_free_bytes
	SwapTotal:      zzzz kB // sgx_swapped_bytes

So, at *least* three.  I think we will eventually end up needing
something more along the lines of a dozen.  A new directory (as
opposed to being in the nodeX/ "root") directory avoids cluttering the
root with several "sgx_*" files.

Place the new file in a new "nodeX/x86/" directory because SGX is
highly x86-specific.  It is very unlikely that any other architecture
(or even non-Intel x86 vendor) will ever implement SGX.  Using "sgx/"
as opposed to "x86/" was also considered.  But, there is a real chance
this can get used for other arch-specific purposes.

<content type='text'>
Patch series "mm: remove pfn_valid_within() and CONFIG_HOLES_IN_ZONE".

After recent updates to freeing unused parts of the memory map, no
architecture can have holes in the memory map within a pageblock.  This
makes pfn_valid_within() check and CONFIG_HOLES_IN_ZONE configuration
option redundant.

The first patch removes them both in a mechanical way and the second patch
simplifies memory_hotplug::test_pages_in_a_zone() that had
pfn_valid_within() surrounded by more logic than simple if.

This patch (of 2):

After recent changes in freeing of the unused parts of the memory map and
rework of pfn_valid() in arm and arm64 there are no architectures that can
have holes in the memory map within a pageblock and so nothing can enable
CONFIG_HOLES_IN_ZONE which guards non trivial implementation of
pfn_valid_within().

With that, pfn_valid_within() is always hardwired to 1 and can be
completely removed.

Remove calls to pfn_valid_within() and CONFIG_HOLES_IN_ZONE.

option redundant.

Reading /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpuX/nodeX/ returns cpumap and cpulist.
However, the size of this file is limited to PAGE_SIZE because of the
limitation for sysfs attribute.

This patch moves to use bin_attribute to extend the ABI to be more
than one page so that cpumap bitmask and list won't be potentially
trimmed.
