mm,memory_hotplug: add kernel boot option to enable memmap_on_memory

2021-05-05T18:27:27+00:00

Self stored memmap leads to a sparse memory situation which is
unsuitable for workloads that requires large contiguous memory chunks,
so make this an opt-in which needs to be explicitly enabled.

To control this, let memory_hotplug have its own memory space, as
suggested by David, so we can add memory_hotplug.memmap_on_memory
parameter.

mm: cma: support sysfs

2021-05-05T18:27:24+00:00

Since CMA is getting used more widely, it's more important to keep
monitoring CMA statistics for system health since it's directly related to
user experience.

This patch introduces sysfs statistics for CMA, in order to provide some
basic monitoring of the CMA allocator.

 * the number of CMA page successful allocations
 * the number of CMA page allocation failures

These two values allow the user to calcuate the allocation
failure rate for each CMA area.

e.g.)
  /sys/kernel/mm/cma/WIFI/alloc_pages_[success|fail]
  /sys/kernel/mm/cma/SENSOR/alloc_pages_[success|fail]
  /sys/kernel/mm/cma/BLUETOOTH/alloc_pages_[success|fail]

The cma_stat was intentionally allocated by dynamic allocation
to harmonize with kobject lifetime management.

mm: add Kernel Electric-Fence infrastructure

2021-02-26T17:41:02+00:00

Patch series "KFENCE: A low-overhead sampling-based memory safety error detector", v7.

This adds the Kernel Electric-Fence (KFENCE) infrastructure. KFENCE is a
low-overhead sampling-based memory safety error detector of heap
use-after-free, invalid-free, and out-of-bounds access errors.  This
series enables KFENCE for the x86 and arm64 architectures, and adds
KFENCE hooks to the SLAB and SLUB allocators.

KFENCE is designed to be enabled in production kernels, and has near
zero performance overhead. Compared to KASAN, KFENCE trades performance
for precision. The main motivation behind KFENCE's design, is that with
enough total uptime KFENCE will detect bugs in code paths not typically
exercised by non-production test workloads. One way to quickly achieve a
large enough total uptime is when the tool is deployed across a large
fleet of machines.

KFENCE objects each reside on a dedicated page, at either the left or
right page boundaries. The pages to the left and right of the object
page are "guard pages", whose attributes are changed to a protected
state, and cause page faults on any attempted access to them. Such page
faults are then intercepted by KFENCE, which handles the fault
gracefully by reporting a memory access error.

Guarded allocations are set up based on a sample interval (can be set
via kfence.sample_interval). After expiration of the sample interval,
the next allocation through the main allocator (SLAB or SLUB) returns a
guarded allocation from the KFENCE object pool. At this point, the timer
is reset, and the next allocation is set up after the expiration of the
interval.

To enable/disable a KFENCE allocation through the main allocator's
fast-path without overhead, KFENCE relies on static branches via the
static keys infrastructure. The static branch is toggled to redirect the
allocation to KFENCE.

The KFENCE memory pool is of fixed size, and if the pool is exhausted no
further KFENCE allocations occur. The default config is conservative
with only 255 objects, resulting in a pool size of 2 MiB (with 4 KiB
pages).

We have verified by running synthetic benchmarks (sysbench I/O,
hackbench) and production server-workload benchmarks that a kernel with
KFENCE (using sample intervals 100-500ms) is performance-neutral
compared to a non-KFENCE baseline kernel.

KFENCE is inspired by GWP-ASan [1], a userspace tool with similar
properties. The name "KFENCE" is a homage to the Electric Fence Malloc
Debugger [2].

faults are then intercepted by KFENCE, which handles the fault
gracefully by reporting a memory access error. To detect out-of-bounds
writes to memory within the object's page itself, KFENCE also uses
pattern-based redzones. The following figure illustrates the page
layout:

  ---+-----------+-----------+-----------+-----------+-----------+---
     | xxxxxxxxx | O :       | xxxxxxxxx |       : O | xxxxxxxxx |
     | xxxxxxxxx | B :       | xxxxxxxxx |       : B | xxxxxxxxx |

     | xxxxxxxxx | T :       | xxxxxxxxx |       : T | xxxxxxxxx |
  ---+-----------+-----------+-----------+-----------+-----------+---

To enable/disable a KFENCE allocation through the main allocator's
fast-path without overhead, KFENCE relies on static branches via the
static keys infrastructure. The static branch is toggled to redirect the
allocation to KFENCE. To date, we have verified by running synthetic
benchmarks (sysbench I/O, hackbench) that a kernel compiled with KFENCE
is performance-neutral compared to the non-KFENCE baseline.

the series).

mm: mmap_lock: add tracepoints around lock acquisition

2020-12-15T20:13:41+00:00

The goal of these tracepoints is to be able to debug lock contention
issues.  This lock is acquired on most (all?) mmap / munmap / page fault
operations, so a multi-threaded process which does a lot of these can
experience significant contention.

We trace just before we start acquisition, when the acquisition returns
(whether it succeeded or not), and when the lock is released (or
downgraded).  The events are broken out by lock type (read / write).

The events are also broken out by memcg path.  For container-based
workloads, users often think of several processes in a memcg as a single
logical "task", so collecting statistics at this level is useful.

The end goal is to get latency information.  This isn't directly included
in the trace events.  Instead, users are expected to compute the time
between "start locking" and "acquire returned", using e.g.  synthetic
events or BPF.  The benefit we get from this is simpler code.

Because we use tracepoint_enabled() to decide whether or not to trace,
this patch has effectively no overhead unless tracepoints are enabled at
runtime.  If tracepoints are enabled, there is a performance impact, but
how much depends on exactly what e.g.  the BPF program does.

mm/gup_benchmark: rename to mm/gup_test

2020-12-15T20:13:38+00:00

Patch series "selftests/vm: gup_test, hmm-tests, assorted improvements", v3.

Summary: This series provides two main things, and a number of smaller
supporting goodies.  The two main points are:

1) Add a new sub-test to gup_test, which in turn is a renamed version
   of gup_benchmark.  This sub-test allows nicer testing of dump_pages(),
   at least on user-space pages.

   For quite a while, I was doing a quick hack to gup_test.c whenever I
   wanted to try out changes to dump_page().  Then Matthew Wilcox asked me
   what I meant when I said "I used my dump_page() unit test", and I
   realized that it might be nice to check in a polished up version of
   that.

   Details about how it works and how to use it are in the commit
   description for patch #6 ("selftests/vm: gup_test: introduce the
   dump_pages() sub-test").

2) Fixes a limitation of hmm-tests: these tests are incredibly useful,
   but only if people actually build and run them.  And it turns out that
   libhugetlbfs is a little too effective at throwing a wrench in the
   works, there.  So I've added a little configuration check that removes
   just two of the 21 hmm-tests, if libhugetlbfs is not available.

   Further details in the commit description of patch #8
   ("selftests/vm: hmm-tests: remove the libhugetlbfs dependency").

Other smaller things that this series does:

a) Remove code duplication by creating gup_test.h.

b) Clear up the sub-test organization, and their invocation within
   run_vmtests.sh.

c) Other minor assorted improvements.

[1] v2 is here:
https://lore.kernel.org/linux-doc/20200929212747.251804-1-jhubbard@nvidia.com/

[2] https://lore.kernel.org/r/CAHk-=wgh-TMPHLY3jueHX7Y2fWh3D+nMBqVS__AZm6-oorquWA@mail.gmail.com

This patch (of 9):

Rename nearly every "gup_benchmark" reference and file name to "gup_test".
The one exception is for the actual gup benchmark test itself.

The current code already does a *little* bit more than benchmarking, and
definitely covers more than get_user_pages_fast().  More importantly,
however, subsequent patches are about to add some functionality that is
non-benchmark related.

Closely related changes:

* Kconfig: in addition to renaming the options from GUP_BENCHMARK to
  GUP_TEST, update the help text to reflect that it's no longer a
  benchmark-only test.

Merge tag 'locking-kcsan-2020-06-11' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip

2020-06-12T01:55:43+00:00

Pull the Kernel Concurrency Sanitizer from Thomas Gleixner:
 "The Kernel Concurrency Sanitizer (KCSAN) is a dynamic race detector,
  which relies on compile-time instrumentation, and uses a
  watchpoint-based sampling approach to detect races.

  The feature was under development for quite some time and has already
  found legitimate bugs.

  Unfortunately it comes with a limitation, which was only understood
  late in the development cycle:

     It requires an up to date CLANG-11 compiler

  CLANG-11 is not yet released (scheduled for June), but it's the only
  compiler today which handles the kernel requirements and especially
  the annotations of functions to exclude them from KCSAN
  instrumentation correctly.

  These annotations really need to work so that low level entry code and
  especially int3 text poke handling can be completely isolated.

  A detailed discussion of the requirements and compiler issues can be
  found here:

    https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/CANpmjNMTsY_8241bS7=XAfqvZHFLrVEkv_uM4aDUWE_kh3Rvbw@mail.gmail.com/

  We came to the conclusion that trying to work around compiler
  limitations and bugs again would end up in a major trainwreck, so
  requiring a working compiler seemed to be the best choice.

  For Continous Integration purposes the compiler restriction is
  manageable and that's where most xxSAN reports come from.

  For a change this limitation might make GCC people actually look at
  their bugs. Some issues with CSAN in GCC are 7 years old and one has
  been 'fixed' 3 years ago with a half baken solution which 'solved' the
  reported issue but not the underlying problem.

  The KCSAN developers also ponder to use a GCC plugin to become
  independent, but that's not something which will show up in a few
  days.

  Blocking KCSAN until wide spread compiler support is available is not
  a really good alternative because the continuous growth of lockless
  optimizations in the kernel demands proper tooling support"
