<title>mm: memcontrol: fix kernel stack account</title>

<content type='text'>
For simplification commit 991e7673859e ("mm: memcontrol: account kernel
stack per node") changed the per zone vmalloc backed stack pages
accounting to per node.

By doing that we have lost a certain precision because those pages might
live in different NUMA nodes.  In the end NR_KERNEL_STACK_KB exported to
the userspace might be over estimated on some nodes while underestimated
on others.  But this is not a real world problem, just a problem found
by reading the code.  So there is no actual data to showing how much
impact it has on users.

This doesn't impose any real problem to correctnes of the kernel
behavior as the counter is not used for any internal processing but it
can cause some confusion to the userspace.

Address the problem by accounting each vmalloc backing page to its own
node.

Pull networking updates from Jakub Kicinski:
 "Core:

   - bpf:
        - allow bpf programs calling kernel functions (initially to
          reuse TCP congestion control implementations)
        - enable task local storage for tracing programs - remove the
          need to store per-task state in hash maps, and allow tracing
          programs access to task local storage previously added for
          BPF_LSM
        - add bpf_for_each_map_elem() helper, allowing programs to walk
          all map elements in a more robust and easier to verify fashion
        - sockmap: support UDP and cross-protocol BPF_SK_SKB_VERDICT
          redirection
        - lpm: add support for batched ops in LPM trie
        - add BTF_KIND_FLOAT support - mostly to allow use of BTF on
          s390 which has floats in its headers files
        - improve BPF syscall documentation and extend the use of kdoc
          parsing scripts we already employ for bpf-helpers
        - libbpf, bpftool: support static linking of BPF ELF files
        - improve support for encapsulation of L2 packets

   - xdp: restructure redirect actions to avoid a runtime lookup,
     improving performance by 4-8% in microbenchmarks

   - xsk: build skb by page (aka generic zerocopy xmit) - improve
     performance of software AF_XDP path by 33% for devices which don't
     need headers in the linear skb part (e.g. virtio)

   - nexthop: resilient next-hop groups - improve path stability on
     next-hops group changes (incl. offload for mlxsw)

   - ipv6: segment routing: add support for IPv4 decapsulation

   - icmp: add support for RFC 8335 extended PROBE messages

   - inet: use bigger hash table for IP ID generation

   - tcp: deal better with delayed TX completions - make sure we don't
     give up on fast TCP retransmissions only because driver is slow in
     reporting that it completed transmitting the original

   - tcp: reorder tcp_congestion_ops for better cache locality

   - mptcp:
        - add sockopt support for common TCP options
        - add support for common TCP msg flags
        - include multiple address ids in RM_ADDR
        - add reset option support for resetting one subflow

   - udp: GRO L4 improvements - improve 'forward' / 'frag_list'
     co-existence with UDP tunnel GRO, allowing the first to take place
     correctly even for encapsulated UDP traffic

   - micro-optimize dev_gro_receive() and flow dissection, avoid
     retpoline overhead on VLAN and TEB GRO

   - use less memory for sysctls, add a new sysctl type, to allow using
     u8 instead of "int" and "long" and shrink networking sysctls

   - veth: allow GRO without XDP - this allows aggregating UDP packets
     before handing them off to routing, bridge, OvS, etc.

   - allow specifing ifindex when device is moved to another namespace

   - netfilter:
        - nft_socket: add support for cgroupsv2
        - nftables: add catch-all set element - special element used to
          define a default action in case normal lookup missed
        - use net_generic infra in many modules to avoid allocating
          per-ns memory unnecessarily

   - xps: improve the xps handling to avoid potential out-of-bound
     accesses and use-after-free when XPS change race with other
     re-configuration under traffic

   - add a config knob to turn off per-cpu netdev refcnt to catch
     underflows in testing

  Device APIs:

   - add WWAN subsystem to organize the WWAN interfaces better and
     hopefully start driving towards more unified and vendor-
     independent APIs

   - ethtool:
        - add interface for reading IEEE MIB stats (incl. mlx5 and bnxt
          support)
        - allow network drivers to dump arbitrary SFP EEPROM data,
          current offset+length API was a poor fit for modern SFP which
          define EEPROM in terms of pages (incl. mlx5 support)

   - act_police, flow_offload: add support for packet-per-second
     policing (incl. offload for nfp)

   - psample: add additional metadata attributes like transit delay for
     packets sampled from switch HW (and corresponding egress and
     policy-based sampling in the mlxsw driver)

   - dsa: improve support for sandwiched LAGs with bridge and DSA

   - netfilter:
        - flowtable: use direct xmit in topologies with IP forwarding,
          bridging, vlans etc.
        - nftables: counter hardware offload support

   - Bluetooth:
        - improvements for firmware download w/ Intel devices
        - add support for reading AOSP vendor capabilities
        - add support for virtio transport driver

   - mac80211:
        - allow concurrent monitor iface and ethernet rx decap
        - set priority and queue mapping for injected frames

   - phy: add support for Clause-45 PHY Loopback

   - pci/iov: add sysfs MSI-X vector assignment interface to distribute
     MSI-X resources to VFs (incl. mlx5 support)

  New hardware/drivers:

   - dsa: mv88e6xxx: add support for Marvell mv88e6393x - 11-port
     Ethernet switch with 8x 1-Gigabit Ethernet and 3x 10-Gigabit
     interfaces.

   - dsa: support for legacy Broadcom tags used on BCM5325, BCM5365 and
     BCM63xx switches

        - page_to_skb() use build_skb when there's sufficient tailroom
          (21% improvement for 1000B UDP frames)
        - support XDP even without dedicated Tx queues - share the Tx
          queues with the stack when necessary

   - mlx5:
        - flow rules: add support for mirroring with conntrack, matching
          on ICMP, GTP, flex filters and more
        - support packet sampling with flow offloads
        - persist uplink representor netdev across eswitch mode changes
        - allow coexistence of CQE compression and HW time-stamping

Pull io_uring updates from Jens Axboe:

 - Support for multi-shot mode for POLL requests

 - More efficient reference counting. This is shamelessly stolen from
   the mm side. Even though referencing is mostly single/dual user, the
   128 count was retained to keep the code the same. Maybe this
   should/could be made generic at some point.

 - Removal of the need to have a manager thread for each ring. The
   manager threads only job was checking and creating new io-threads as
   needed, instead we handle this from the queue path.

 - Allow SQPOLL without CAP_SYS_ADMIN or CAP_SYS_NICE. Since 5.12, this
   thread is "just" a regular application thread, so no need to restrict
   use of it anymore.

 - Cleanup of how internal async poll data lifetime is managed.

 - Fix for syzbot reported crash on SQPOLL cancelation.

 - Make buffer registration more like file registrations, which includes
   flexibility in avoiding full set unregistration and re-registration.

 - Fix for io-wq affinity setting.

 - Be a bit more defensive in task-&gt;pf_io_worker setup.

 - Various SQPOLL fixes.

 - Cleanup of SQPOLL creds handling.

 - Improvements to in-flight request tracking.

 - File registration cleanups.

 - Tons of cleanups and little fixes

Pull scheduler updates from Ingo Molnar:

 - Clean up SCHED_DEBUG: move the decades old mess of sysctl, procfs and
   debugfs interfaces to a unified debugfs interface.

 - Signals: Allow caching one sigqueue object per task, to improve
   performance &amp; latencies.

 - Improve newidle_balance() irq-off latencies on systems with a large
   number of CPU cgroups.

 - Improve energy-aware scheduling

 - Improve the PELT metrics for certain workloads

 - Reintroduce select_idle_smt() to improve load-balancing locality -
   but without the previous regressions

 - Add 'scheduler latency debugging': warn after long periods of pending
   need_resched. This is an opt-in feature that requires the enabling of
   the LATENCY_WARN scheduler feature, or the use of the
   resched_latency_warn_ms=xx boot parameter.

 - CPU hotplug fixes for HP-rollback, and for the 'fail' interface. Fix
   remaining balance_push() vs. hotplug holes/races

 - PSI fixes, plus allow /proc/pressure/ files to be written by
   CAP_SYS_RESOURCE tasks as well

 - Fix/improve various load-balancing corner cases vs. capacity margins

 - Fix sched topology on systems with NUMA diameter of 3 or above

 - Fix PF_KTHREAD vs to_kthread() race

 - Minor rseq optimizations

Pull perf event updates from Ingo Molnar:

 - Improve Intel uncore PMU support:

     - Parse uncore 'discovery tables' - a new hardware capability
       enumeration method introduced on the latest Intel platforms. This
       table is in a well-defined PCI namespace location and is read via
       MMIO. It is organized in an rbtree.

       These uncore tables will allow the discovery of standard counter
       blocks, but fancier counters still need to be enumerated
       explicitly.

     - Add Alder Lake support

     - Improve IIO stacks to PMON mapping support on Skylake servers

 - Add Intel Alder Lake PMU support - which requires the introduction of
   'hybrid' CPUs and PMUs. Alder Lake is a mix of Golden Cove ('big')
   and Gracemont ('small' - Atom derived) cores.

   The CPU-side feature set is entirely symmetrical - but on the PMU
   side there's core type dependent PMU functionality.

 - Reduce data loss with CPU level hardware tracing on Intel PT / AUX
   profiling, by fixing the AUX allocation watermark logic.

 - Improve ring buffer allocation on NUMA systems

 - Put 'struct perf_event' into their separate kmem_cache pool

 - Add support for synchronous signals for select perf events. The
   immediate motivation is to support low-overhead sampling-based race
   detection for user-space code. The feature consists of the following
   main changes:

     - Add thread-only event inheritance via
       perf_event_attr::inherit_thread, which limits inheritance of
       events to CLONE_THREAD.

     - Add the ability for events to not leak through exec(), via
       perf_event_attr::remove_on_exec.

     - Allow the generation of SIGTRAP via perf_event_attr::sigtrap,
       extend siginfo with an u64 ::si_perf, and add the breakpoint
       information to ::si_addr and ::si_perf if the event is
       PERF_TYPE_BREAKPOINT.

   The siginfo support is adequate for breakpoints right now - but the
   new field can be used to introduce support for other types of
   metadata passed over siginfo as well.

 - Misc fixes, cleanups and smaller updates.

Otherwise io_wq_worker_{running,sleeping}() may dereference an
invalid pointer (in future). Currently all users of create_io_thread()
are fine and get task-&gt;pf_io_worker = NULL implicitly from the
wq_manager, which got it either from the userspace thread
of the sq_thread, which explicitly reset it to NULL.

I think it's safer to always reset it in order to avoid future
problems.

Adds bit perf_event_attr::inherit_thread, to restricting inheriting
events only if the child was cloned with CLONE_THREAD.

This option supports the case where an event is supposed to be
process-wide only (including subthreads), but should not propagate
beyond the current process's shared environment.
