Raise gcc version requirement to 4.9

2020-07-08T17:48:35+00:00

I realize that we fairly recently raised it to 4.8, but the fact is, 4.9
is a much better minimum version to target.

We have a number of workarounds for actual bugs in pre-4.9 gcc versions
(including things like internal compiler errors on ARM), but we also
have some syntactic workarounds for lacking features.

In particular, raising the minimum to 4.9 means that we can now just
assume _Generic() exists, which is likely the much better replacement
for a lot of very convoluted built-time magic with conditionals on
sizeof and/or __builtin_choose_expr() with same_type() etc.

Using _Generic also means that you will need to have a very recent
version of 'sparse', but thats easy to build yourself, and much less of
a hassle than some old gcc version can be.

The latest (in a long string) of reasons for minimum compiler version
upgrades was commit 5435f73d5c4a ("efi/x86: Fix build with gcc 4").

Ard points out that RHEL 7 uses gcc-4.8, but the people who stay back on
old RHEL versions persumably also don't build their own kernels anyway.
And maybe they should cross-built or just have a little side affair with
a newer compiler?

mm: memcontrol: delete unused lrucare handling

2020-06-04T03:09:48+00:00

Swapin faults were the last event to charge pages after they had already
been put on the LRU list.  Now that we charge directly on swapin, the
lrucare portion of the charge code is unused.

mm: memcontrol: convert anon and file-thp to new mem_cgroup_charge() API

2020-06-04T03:09:48+00:00

With the page->mapping requirement gone from memcg, we can charge anon and
file-thp pages in one single step, right after they're allocated.

This removes two out of three API calls - especially the tricky commit
step that needed to happen at just the right time between when the page is
"set up" and when it's "published" - somewhat vague and fluid concepts
that varied by page type.  All we need is a freshly allocated page and a
memcg context to charge.

v2: prevent double charges on pre-allocated hugepages in khugepaged

mm: memcontrol: switch to native NR_ANON_MAPPED counter

2020-06-04T03:09:47+00:00

Memcg maintains a private MEMCG_RSS counter.  This divergence from the
generic VM accounting means unnecessary code overhead, and creates a
dependency for memcg that page->mapping is set up at the time of charging,
so that page types can be told apart.

Convert the generic accounting sites to mod_lruvec_page_state and friends
to maintain the per-cgroup vmstat counter of NR_ANON_MAPPED.  We use
lock_page_memcg() to stabilize page->mem_cgroup during rmap changes, the
same way we do for NR_FILE_MAPPED.

With the previous patch removing MEMCG_CACHE and the private NR_SHMEM
counter, this patch finally eliminates the need to have page->mapping set
up at charge time.  However, we need to have page->mem_cgroup set up by
the time rmap runs and does the accounting, so switch the commit and the
rmap callbacks around.

mm: memcontrol: switch to native NR_FILE_PAGES and NR_SHMEM counters

2020-06-04T03:09:47+00:00

Memcg maintains private MEMCG_CACHE and NR_SHMEM counters.  This
divergence from the generic VM accounting means unnecessary code overhead,
and creates a dependency for memcg that page->mapping is set up at the
time of charging, so that page types can be told apart.

Convert the generic accounting sites to mod_lruvec_page_state and friends
to maintain the per-cgroup vmstat counters of NR_FILE_PAGES and NR_SHMEM.
The page is already locked in these places, so page->mem_cgroup is stable;
we only need minimal tweaks of two mem_cgroup_migrate() calls to ensure
it's set up in time.

Then replace MEMCG_CACHE with NR_FILE_PAGES and delete the private
NR_SHMEM accounting sites.

mm: memcontrol: drop @compound parameter from memcg charging API

2020-06-04T03:09:47+00:00

The memcg charging API carries a boolean @compound parameter that tells
whether the page we're dealing with is a hugepage.
mem_cgroup_commit_charge() has another boolean @lrucare that indicates
whether the page needs LRU locking or not while charging.  The majority of
callsites know those parameters at compile time, which results in a lot of
naked "false, false" argument lists.  This makes for cryptic code and is a
breeding ground for subtle mistakes.

Thankfully, the huge page state can be inferred from the page itself and
doesn't need to be passed along.  This is safe because charging completes
before the page is published and somebody may split it.

Simplify the callsites by removing @compound, and let memcg infer the
state by using hpage_nr_pages() unconditionally.  That function does
PageTransHuge() to identify huge pages, which also helpfully asserts that
nobody passes in tail pages by accident.

The following patches will introduce a new charging API, best not to carry
over unnecessary weight.

mm/migrate.c: attach_page_private already does the get_page

Just finished bisecting mmotm, to find why a test which used to take
four minutes now took more than an hour: the __buffer_migrate_page()
cleanup left behind a get_page() which attach_page_private() now does.
