The core mm code will provide a default gate area based on
FIXADDR_USER_START and FIXADDR_USER_END if
!defined(__HAVE_ARCH_GATE_AREA) && defined(AT_SYSINFO_EHDR).
This default is only useful for ia64. arm64, ppc, s390, sh, tile, 64-bit
UML, and x86_32 have their own code just to disable it. arm, 32-bit UML,
and x86_64 have gate areas, but they have their own implementations.
This gets rid of the default and moves the code into ia64.
This should save some code on architectures without a gate area: it's now
possible to inline the gate_area functions in the default case.

Charge migration currently disables IRQs twice to update the charge
statistics for the old page and then again for the new page.
But migration is a seamless transition of a charge from one physical
page to another one of the same size, so this should be a non-event from
an accounting point of view. Leave the statistics alone.

Pages are now uncharged at release time, and all sources of batched
uncharges operate on lists of pages. Directly use those lists, and
get rid of the per-task batching state.
This also batches statistics accounting, in addition to the res
counter charges, to reduce IRQ-disabling and re-enabling.

The memcg uncharging code that is involved towards the end of a page's
lifetime - truncation, reclaim, swapout, migration - is impressively
complicated and fragile.
Because anonymous and file pages were always charged before they had their
page->mapping established, uncharges had to happen when the page type
could still be known from the context; as in unmap for anonymous, page
cache removal for file and shmem pages, and swap cache truncation for swap
pages. However, these operations happen well before the page is actually
freed, and so a lot of synchronization is necessary:
- Charging, uncharging, page migration, and charge migration all need
to take a per-page bit spinlock as they could race with uncharging.
- Swap cache truncation happens during both swap-in and swap-out, and
possibly repeatedly before the page is actually freed. This means
that the memcg swapout code is called from many contexts that make
no sense and it has to figure out the direction from page state to
make sure memory and memory+swap are always correctly charged.
- On page migration, the old page might be unmapped but then reused,
so memcg code has to prevent untimely uncharging in that case.
Because this code - which should be a simple charge transfer - is so
special-cased, it is not reusable for replace_page_cache().
But now that charged pages always have a page->mapping, introduce
mem_cgroup_uncharge(), which is called after the final put_page(), when we
know for sure that nobody is looking at the page anymore.
For page migration, introduce mem_cgroup_migrate(), which is called after
the migration is successful and the new page is fully rmapped. Because
the old page is no longer uncharged after migration, prevent double
charges by decoupling the page's memcg association (PCG_USED and
pc->mem_cgroup) from the page holding an actual charge. The new bits
PCG_MEM and PCG_MEMSW represent the respective charges and are transferred
to the new page during migration.
mem_cgroup_migrate() is suitable for replace_page_cache() as well,
which gets rid of mem_cgroup_replace_page_cache(). However, care
needs to be taken because both the source and the target page can
already be charged and on the LRU when fuse is splicing: grab the page
lock on the charge moving side to prevent changing pc->mem_cgroup of a
page under migration. Also, the lruvecs of both pages change as we
uncharge the old and charge the new during migration, and putback may
race with us, so grab the lru lock and isolate the pages iff on LRU to
prevent races and ensure the pages are on the right lruvec afterward.
Swap accounting is massively simplified: because the page is no longer
uncharged as early as swap cache deletion, a new mem_cgroup_swapout() can
transfer the page's memory+swap charge (PCG_MEMSW) to the swap entry
before the final put_page() in page reclaim.
Finally, page_cgroup changes are now protected by whatever protection the
page itself offers: anonymous pages are charged under the page table lock,
whereas page cache insertions, swapin, and migration hold the page lock.
Uncharging happens under full exclusion with no outstanding references.
Charging and uncharging also ensure that the page is off-LRU, which
serializes against charge migration. Remove the very costly page_cgroup
lock and set pc->flags non-atomically.

These patches rework memcg charge lifetime to integrate more naturally
with the lifetime of user pages. This drastically simplifies the code and
reduces charging and uncharging overhead. The most expensive part of
charging and uncharging is the page_cgroup bit spinlock, which is removed
entirely after this series.
Here are the top-10 profile entries of a stress test that reads a 128G
sparse file on a freshly booted box, without even a dedicated cgroup (i.e.
executing in the root memcg). Before:

This patch (of 4):
The memcg charge API charges pages before they are rmapped - i.e. have an
actual "type" - and so every callsite needs its own set of charge and
uncharge functions to know what type is being operated on. Worse,
uncharge has to happen from a context that is still type-specific, rather
than at the end of the page's lifetime with exclusive access, and so
requires a lot of synchronization.
Rewrite the charge API to provide a generic set of try_charge(),
commit_charge() and cancel_charge() transaction operations, much like
what's currently done for swap-in:
mem_cgroup_try_charge() attempts to reserve a charge, reclaiming
pages from the memcg if necessary.
mem_cgroup_commit_charge() commits the page to the charge once it
has a valid page->mapping and PageAnon() reliably tells the type.
mem_cgroup_cancel_charge() aborts the transaction.
This reduces the charge API and enables subsequent patches to
drastically simplify uncharging.
As pages need to be committed after rmap is established but before they
are added to the LRU, page_add_new_anon_rmap() must stop doing LRU
additions again. Revive lru_cache_add_active_or_unevictable().

This reverts commit a640616822b2 ("slab: remove BAD_ALIEN_MAGIC").
commit a640616822b2 ("slab: remove BAD_ALIEN_MAGIC") assumes that the
system with !CONFIG_NUMA has only one memory node. But, it turns out to
be false by the report from Geert. His system, m68k, has many memory
nodes and is configured in !CONFIG_NUMA. So it couldn't boot with above
change.
Here goes his failure report.
With latest mainline, I'm getting a crash during bootup on m68k/ARAnyM:

Change the type of the zbud_alloc() size param from unsigned int to
size_t.
Technically, this should not make any difference, as the zbud
implementation already restricts the size to well within either type's
limits; but as zsmalloc (and kmalloc) use size_t, and zpool will use
size_t, this brings the size parameter type in line with zsmalloc/zpool.

User-visible effect:
Architectures that choose this method of maintaining cache coherency
(MIPS and xtensa currently) are able to use high memory on cores with
aliasing data cache. Without this fix such architectures can not use
high memory (in case of xtensa it means that at most 128 MBytes of
physical memory is available).
The problem:
VIPT cache with way size larger than MMU page size may suffer from
aliasing problem: a single physical address accessed via different
virtual addresses may end up in multiple locations in the cache.
Virtual mappings of a physical address that always get cached in
different cache locations are said to have different colors. L1 caching
hardware usually doesn't handle this situation leaving it up to
software. Software must avoid this situation as it leads to data
corruption.
What can be done:
One way to handle this is to flush and invalidate data cache every time
page mapping changes color. The other way is to always map physical
page at a virtual address with the same color. Low memory pages already
have this property. Giving architecture a way to control color of high
memory page mapping allows reusing of existing low memory cache alias
handling code.
How this is done with this patch:
Provide hooks that allow architectures with aliasing cache to align
mapping address of high pages according to their color. Such
architectures may enforce similar coloring of low- and high-memory page
mappings and reuse existing cache management functions to support
highmem.
This code is based on the implementation of similar feature for MIPS by
Leonid Yegoshin.

sync
When kernel device drivers or subsystems want to bind their lifespan to
t= he lifespan of the mm_struct, they usually use one of the following
methods:
1. Manually calling a function in the interested kernel module. The
funct= ion call needs to be placed in mmput. This method was rejected
by several ker= nel maintainers.
2. Registering to the mmu notifier release mechanism.
The problem with the latter approach is that the mmu_notifier_release
cal= lback is called from__mmu_notifier_release (called from exit_mmap).
That functi= on iterates over the list of mmu notifiers and don't expect
the release call= back function to remove itself from the list.
Therefore, the callback function= in the kernel module can't release the
mmu_notifier_object, which is actuall= y the kernel module's object
itself. As a result, the destruction of the kernel module's object must
to be done in a delayed fashion.
This patch adds support for this delayed callback, by adding a new
mmu_notifier_call_srcu function that receives a function ptr and calls
th= at function with call_srcu. In that function, the kernel module
releases its object. To use mmu_notifier_call_srcu, the calling module
needs to call b= efore that a new function called
mmu_notifier_unregister_no_release that as its= name implies,
unregisters a notifier without calling its notifier release call= back.
This patch also adds a function that will call barrier_srcu so those
kern= el modules can sync with mmu_notifier.

Charge reclaim and OOM currently use the charge batch variable, but
batching is already disabled at that point. To simplify the charge
logic, the batch variable is reset to the original request size when
reclaim is entered, so it's functionally equal, but it's misleading.
Switch reclaim/OOM to nr_pages, which is the original request size.

When memory cgoups are enabled, the code that decides to force to scan
anonymous pages in get_scan_count() compares global values (free,
high_watermark) to a value that is restricted to a memory cgroup (file).
It make the code over-eager to force anon scan.
For instance, it will force anon scan when scanning a memcg that is
mainly populated by anonymous page, even when there is plenty of file
pages to get rid of in others memcgs, even when swappiness == 0. It
breaks user's expectation about swappiness and hurts performance.
This patch makes sure that forced anon scan only happens when there not
enough file pages for the all zone, not just in one random memcg.

The oom killer scans each process and determines whether it is eligible
for oom kill or whether the oom killer should abort because of
concurrent memory freeing. It will abort when an eligible process is
found to have TIF_MEMDIE set, meaning it has already been oom killed and
we're waiting for it to exit.
Processes with task->mm == NULL should not be considered because they
are either kthreads or have already detached their memory and killing
them would not lead to memory freeing. That memory is only freed after
exit_mm() has returned, however, and not when task->mm is first set to
NULL.
Clear TIF_MEMDIE after exit_mm()'s mmput() so that an oom killed process
is no longer considered for oom kill, but only until exit_mm() has
returned. This was fragile in the past because it relied on
exit_notify() to be reached before no longer considering TIF_MEMDIE
processes.

It is possible for some platforms, such as powerpc to set HPAGE_SHIFT to
0 to indicate huge pages not supported.
When this is the case, hugetlbfs could be disabled during boot time:
hugetlbfs: disabling because there are no supported hugepage sizes
Then in dissolve_free_huge_pages(), order is kept maximum (64 for
64bits), and the for loop below won't end: for (pfn = start_pfn; pfn <
end_pfn; pfn += 1 << order)
As suggested by Naoya, below fix checks hugepages_supported() before
calling dissolve_free_huge_pages().

__GFP_NO_KSWAPD, once the way to determine if an allocation was for thp
or not, has gained more users. Their use is not necessarily wrong, they
are trying to do a memory allocation that can easily fail without
disturbing kswapd, so the bit has gained additional usecases.
This restructures the check to determine whether MIGRATE_SYNC_LIGHT
should be used for memory compaction in the page allocator. Rather than
testing solely for __GFP_NO_KSWAPD, test for all bits that must be set
for thp allocations.
This also moves the check to be done only after the page allocator is
aborted for deferred or contended memory compaction since setting
migration_mode for this case is pointless.

try_set_zonelist_oom() and clear_zonelist_oom() are not named properly
to imply that they require locking semantics to avoid out_of_memory()
being reordered.
zone_scan_lock is required for both functions to ensure that there is
proper locking synchronization.
Rename try_set_zonelist_oom() to oom_zonelist_trylock() and rename
clear_zonelist_oom() to oom_zonelist_unlock() to imply there is proper
locking semantics.
At the same time, convert oom_zonelist_trylock() to return bool instead
of int since only success and failure are tested.

With memoryless node support being worked on, it's possible that for
optimizations that a node may not have a non-NULL zonelist. When
CONFIG_NUMA is enabled and node 0 is memoryless, this means the zonelist
for first_online_node may become NULL.
The oom killer requires a zonelist that includes all memory zones for
the sysrq trigger and pagefault out of memory handler.
Ensure that a non-NULL zonelist is always passed to the oom killer.

This series of patches fixes a problem when adding memory in bad manner.
For example: for a x86_64 machine booted with "mem=400M" and with 2GiB
memory installed, following commands cause problem:
# echo 0x40000000 > /sys/devices/system/memory/probe
[ 28.613895] init_memory_mapping: [mem 0x40000000-0x47ffffff]

This is because the above commands probe higher memory after online a
section with online_movable, which causes ZONE_HIGHMEM (or ZONE_NORMAL
for systems without ZONE_HIGHMEM) overlaps ZONE_MOVABLE.
After the second online_movable, the problem can be observed from
zoneinfo:

This series of patches solve the problem by checking ZONE_MOVABLE when
choosing zone for new memory. If new memory is inside or higher than
ZONE_MOVABLE, makes it go there instead.

This patch (of 7):
Introduce zone_for_memory() in arch independent code for
arch_add_memory() use.
Many arch_add_memory() function simply selects ZONE_HIGHMEM or
ZONE_NORMAL and add new memory into it. However, with the existance of
ZONE_MOVABLE, the selection method should be carefully considered: if
new, higher memory is added after ZONE_MOVABLE is setup, the default
zone and ZONE_MOVABLE may overlap each other.
should_add_memory_movable() checks the status of ZONE_MOVABLE. If it
has already contain memory, compare the address of new memory and
movable memory. If new memory is higher than movable, it should be
added into ZONE_MOVABLE instead of default zone.

Commit 9f1b868a13ac ("mm: thp: khugepaged: add policy for finding target
node") improved the previous khugepaged logic which allocated a
transparent hugepages from the node of the first page being collapsed.
However, it is still possible to collapse pages to remote memory which
may suffer from additional access latency. With the current policy, it
is possible that 255 pages (with PAGE_SHIFT == 12) will be collapsed
remotely if the majority are allocated from that node.
When zone_reclaim_mode is enabled, it means the VM should make every
attempt to allocate locally to prevent NUMA performance degradation. In
this case, we do not want to collapse hugepages to remote nodes that
would suffer from increased access latency. Thus, when
zone_reclaim_mode is enabled, only allow collapsing to nodes with
RECLAIM_DISTANCE or less.
There is no functional change for systems that disable
zone_reclaim_mode.

The fair zone allocation policy round-robins allocations between zones
within a node to avoid age inversion problems during reclaim. If the
first allocation fails, the batch counts are reset and a second attempt
made before entering the slow path.
One assumption made with this scheme is that batches expire at roughly
the same time and the resets each time are justified. This assumption
does not hold when zones reach their low watermark as the batches will
be consumed at uneven rates. Allocation failure due to watermark
depletion result in additional zonelist scans for the reset and another
watermark check before hitting the slowpath.
On UMA, the benefit is negligible -- around 0.25%. On 4-socket NUMA
machine it's variable due to the variability of measuring overhead with
the vmstat changes. The system CPU overhead comparison looks like

encountered
The purpose of numa_zonelist_order=zone is to preserve lower zones for
use with 32-bit devices. If locality is preferred then the
numa_zonelist_order=node policy should be used.
Unfortunately, the fair zone allocation policy overrides this by
skipping zones on remote nodes until the lower one is found. While this
makes sense from a page aging and performance perspective, it breaks the
expected zonelist policy. This patch restores the expected behaviour
for zone-list ordering.

When kswapd is awake reclaiming, the per-cpu stat thresholds are lowered
to get more accurate counts to avoid breaching watermarks. This
threshold update iterates over all possible CPUs which is unnecessary.
Only online CPUs need to be updated. If a new CPU is onlined,
refresh_zone_stat_thresholds() will set the thresholds correctly.

zone->pages_scanned is a write-intensive cache line during page reclaim
and it's also updated during page free. Move the counter into vmstat to
take advantage of the per-cpu updates and do not update it in the free
paths unless necessary.
On a small UMA machine running tiobench the difference is marginal. On
a 4-node machine the overhead is more noticable. Note that automatic
NUMA balancing was disabled for this test as otherwise the system CPU
overhead is unpredictable.

reclaim lines
The arrangement of struct zone has changed over time and now it has
reached the point where there is some inappropriate sharing going on.
On x86-64 for example
o The zone->node field is shared with the zone lock and zone->node is
accessed frequently from the page allocator due to the fair zone
allocation policy.
o span_seqlock is almost never used by shares a line with free_area
o Some zone statistics share a cache line with the LRU lock so
reclaim-intensive and allocator-intensive workloads can bounce the cache
line on a stat update
This patch rearranges struct zone to put read-only and read-mostly
fields together and then splits the page allocator intensive fields, the
zone statistics and the page reclaim intensive fields into their own
cache lines. Note that the type of lowmem_reserve changes due to the
watermark calculations being signed and avoiding a signed/unsigned
conversion there.
On the test configuration I used the overall size of struct zone shrunk
by one cache line. On smaller machines, this is not likely to be
noticable. However, on a 4-node NUMA machine running tiobench the
system CPU overhead is reduced by this patch.

This was formerly the series "Improve sequential read throughput" which
noted some major differences in performance of tiobench since 3.0.
While there are a number of factors, two that dominated were the
introduction of the fair zone allocation policy and changes to CFQ.
The behaviour of fair zone allocation policy makes more sense than
tiobench as a benchmark and CFQ defaults were not changed due to
insufficient benchmarking.
This series is what's left. It's one functional fix to the fair zone
allocation policy when used on NUMA machines and a reduction of overhead
in general. tiobench was used for the comparison despite its flaws as
an IO benchmark as in this case we are primarily interested in the
overhead of page allocator and page reclaim activity.
On UMA, it makes little difference to overhead

In case if page fault happend on dirty filemapping the newly created pte

Currently map_vm_area() takes (struct page *** pages) as third argument,
and after mapping, it moves (*pages) to point to (*pages +
nr_mappped_pages).
It looks like this kind of increment is useless to its caller these
days. The callers don't care about the increments and actually they're
trying to avoid this by passing another copy to map_vm_area().
The caller can always guarantee all the pages can be mapped into vm_area
as specified in first argument and the caller only cares about whether
map_vm_area() fails or not.
This patch cleans up the pointer movement in map_vm_area() and updates
its callers accordingly.

Three different interfaces alter the maximum number of hugepages for an
hstate:
- /proc/sys/vm/nr_hugepages for global number of hugepages of the default
hstate,
- /sys/kernel/mm/hugepages/hugepages-X/nr_hugepages for global number of
hugepages for a specific hstate, and
- /sys/kernel/mm/hugepages/hugepages-X/nr_hugepages/mempolicy for number of
hugepages for a specific hstate over the set of allowed nodes.
Generalize the code so that a single function handles all of these
writes instead of duplicating the code in two different functions.
This decreases the number of lines of code, but also reduces the size of
.text by about half a percent since set_max_huge_pages() can be inlined.

When a hwpoison page is locked it could change state due to parallel
modifications. The original compound page can be torn down and then
this 4k page becomes part of a differently-size compound page is is a
standalone regular page.
Check after the lock if the page is still the same compound page.
We could go back, grab the new head page and try again but it should be
quite rare, so I thought this was safest. A retry loop would be more
difficult to test and may have more side effects.
The hwpoison code by design only tries to handle cases that are
reasonably common in workloads, as visible in page-flags.
I'm not really that concerned about handling this (likely rare case),
just not crashing on it.

When returning from hugetlb_cow(), we always (1) put back the refcount
for each referenced page -- always 'old', and 'new' if allocation was
successful. And (2) retake the page table lock right before returning,
as the callers expects. This logic can be simplified and encapsulated,
as proposed in this patch. In addition to cleaner code, we also shave a
few bytes off the instruction text:

This function always returns 1, thus no need to check return value in
hugetlb_cow(). By doing so, we can get rid of the unnecessary WARN_ON
call. While this logic perhaps existed as a way of identifying future
unmap_ref_private() mishandling, reality is it serves no apparent
purpose.

Do we really need an exported alias for __SetPageReferenced()? Its
callers better know what they're doing, in which case the page would not
be already marked referenced. Kill init_page_accessed(), just
__SetPageReferenced() inline.

Historically, we exported shared pages to userspace via sysinfo(2)
sharedram and /proc/meminfo's "MemShared" fields. With the advent of
tmpfs, from kernel v2.4 onward, that old way for accounting shared mem
was deemed inaccurate and we started to export a hard-coded 0 for
sysinfo.sharedram. Later on, during the 2.6 timeframe, "MemShared" got
re-introduced to /proc/meminfo re-branded as "Shmem", but we're still
reporting sysinfo.sharedmem as that old hard-coded zero, which makes the
"shared memory" report inconsistent across interfaces.
This patch leverages the addition of explicit accounting for pages used
by shmem/tmpfs -- "4b02108 mm: oom analysis: add shmem vmstat" -- in
order to make the users of sysinfo(2) and si_meminfo*() friends aware of
that vmstat entry and make them report it consistently across the
interfaces, as well to make sysinfo(2) returned data consistent with our
current API documentation states.

Print a warning (if CONFIG_DEBUG_VM=y) when memory commitment becomes
too negative.
This shouldn't happen any more - the previous two patches fixed the
committed_as underflow issues.
[akpm@linux-foundation.org: use VM_WARN_ONCE, per Dave]
