dl_rebuild_rd_accounting() is defined in cpuset.c, so it makes more
sense to move related declarations to cpuset.h.
Implement the move.

Rebuilding of root domains accounting information (total_bw) is
currently broken on some cases, e.g. suspend/resume on aarch64. Problem
is that the way we keep track of domain changes and try to add bandwidth
back is convoluted and fragile.
Fix it by simplify things by making sure bandwidth accounting is cleared
and completely restored after root domains changes (after root domains
are again stable).
To be sure we always call dl_rebuild_rd_accounting while holding
cpuset_mutex we also add cpuset_reset_sched_domains() wrapper.

Bandwidth checks and updates that work on root domains currently employ
a cookie mechanism for efficiency. This mechanism is very much tied to
when root domains are first created and initialized.
Generalize the cookie mechanism so that it can be used also later at
runtime while updating root domains. Also, additionally guard it with
sched_domains_mutex, since domains need to be stable while updating them
(and it will be required for further dynamic changes).

The individual architectures often add the preemption model to the begin
of the backtrace. This is the case on X86 or ARM64 for the "die" case
but not for regular warning. With the addition of DYNAMIC_PREEMPT for
PREEMPT_RT we end up with CONFIG_PREEMPT and CONFIG_PREEMPT_RT set
simultaneously. That means that everyone who tried to add that piece of
information gets it wrong for PREEMPT_RT because PREEMPT is checked
first.
Provide a generic function which returns the current scheduling model
considering LAZY preempt and the current state of PREEMPT_DYNAMIC.
The resulting strings are:

The LBR call stack data has to be saved/restored during context switch
to fix the shorter LBRs call stacks issue in the system-wide mode.
Allocate PMU specific data and attach them to the corresponding
task_struct during LBR call stack monitoring.
When a LBR call stack event is accounted, the perf_ctx_data for the
related tasks will be allocated/attached by attach_perf_ctx_data().
When a LBR call stack event is unaccounted, the perf_ctx_data for
related tasks will be detached/freed by detach_perf_ctx_data().
The LBR call stack event could be a per-task event or a system-wide
event.
- For a per-task event, perf only allocates the perf_ctx_data for the
current task. If the allocation fails, perf will error out.
- For a system-wide event, perf has to allocate the perf_ctx_data for
both the existing tasks and the upcoming tasks.
The allocation for the existing tasks is done in perf_event_alloc().
If any allocation fails, perf will error out.
The allocation for the new tasks will be done in perf_event_fork().
A global reader/writer semaphore, global_ctx_data_rwsem, is added to
address the global race.
- The perf_ctx_data only be freed by the last LBR call stack event.
The number of the per-task events is tracked by refcount of each task.
Since the system-wide events impact all tasks, it's not practical to
go through the whole task list to update the refcount for each
system-wide event. The number of system-wide events is tracked by a
global variable global_ctx_data_ref.

Some PMU specific data has to be saved/restored during context switch,
e.g. LBR call stack data. Currently, the data is saved in event context
structure, but only for per-process event. For system-wide event,
because of missing the LBR call stack data after context switch, LBR
callstacks are always shorter in comparison to per-process mode.
For example,
Per-process mode:
$perf record --call-graph lbr -- taskset -c 0 ./tchain_edit
- 99.90% 99.86% tchain_edit tchain_edit [.] f3
99.86% _start
__libc_start_main
generic_start_main
main
f1
- f2
f3
System-wide mode:
$perf record --call-graph lbr -a -- taskset -c 0 ./tchain_edit
- 99.88% 99.82% tchain_edit tchain_edit [.] f3
- 62.02% main
f1
f2
f3
- 28.83% f1
- f2
f3
- 28.83% f1
- f2
f3
- 8.88% generic_start_main
main
f1
f2
f3
It isn't practical to simply allocate the data for system-wide event in
CPU context structure for all tasks. We have no idea which CPU a task
will be scheduled to. The duplicated LBR data has to be maintained on
every CPU context structure. That's a huge waste. Otherwise, the LBR
data still lost if the task is scheduled to another CPU.
Save the pmu specific data in task_struct. The size of pmu specific data
is 788 bytes for LBR call stack. Usually, the overall amount of threads
doesn't exceed a few thousands. For 10K threads, keeping LBR data would
consume additional ~8MB. The additional space will only be allocated
during LBR call stack monitoring. It will be released when the
monitoring is finished.
Furthermore, moving task_ctx_data from perf_event_context to task_struct
can reduce complexity and make things clearer. E.g. perf doesn't need to
swap task_ctx_data on optimized context switch path.
This patch set is just the first step. There could be other
optimization/extension on top of this patch set. E.g. for cgroup
profiling, perf just needs to save/store the LBR call stack information
for tasks in specific cgroup. That could reduce the additional space.
Also, the LBR call stack can be available for software events, or allow
even debugging use cases, like LBRs on crash later.
Because of the alignment requirement of Intel Arch LBR, the Kmem cache
is used to allocate the PMU specific data. It's required when child task
allocates the space. Save it in struct perf_ctx_data.
The refcount in struct perf_ctx_data is used to track the users of pmu
specific data.

The commit 97c79a38cd45 ("perf core: Per event callchain limit")
introduced a per-event term to allow finer tuning of the depth of
callchains to save space.
It should be applied to the branch stack as well. For example, autoFDO
collections require maximum LBR entries. In the meantime, other
system-wide LBR users may only be interested in the latest a few number
of LBRs. A per-event LBR depth would save the perf output buffer.
The patch simply drops the uninterested branches, but HW still collects
the maximum branches. There may be a model-specific optimization that
can reduce the HW depth for some cases to reduce the overhead further.
But it isn't included in the patch set. Because it's not useful for all
cases. For example, ARCH LBR can utilize the PEBS and XSAVE to collect
LBRs. The depth should have less impact on the collecting overhead.
The model-specific optimization may be implemented later separately.

Current default allow/reject behavior of filters handling stage has made
before introduction of the allow behavior. For allow-filters usage, it is
confusing and inefficient.
It is more intuitive to decide the default filtering stage allow/reject
behavior as opposite to the last filter's behavior. The decision should
be made separately for core and operations layers' filtering stages, since
last core layer-handled filter is not really a last filter if there are
operations layer handling filters.
Keeping separate decisions for the two categories can make the logic
simpler. Add fields for storing the two decisions.

Patch series "mm/damon: make allow filters after reject filters useful and
intuitive".
DAMOS filters do allow or reject elements of memory for given DAMOS scheme
only if those match the filter criterias. For elements that don't match
any DAMOS filter, 'allowing' is the default behavior. This makes
allow-filters that don't have any reject-filter after them meaningless
sources of overhead. The decision was made to keep the behavior
consistent with that before the introduction of allow-filters. This,
however, makes usage of DAMOS filters confusing and inefficient. It is
more intuitive and still consistent behavior to reject by default unless
there is no filter at all or the last filter is a reject filter. Update
the filtering logic in the way and update documents to clarify the
behavior.
Note that this is changing the old behavior. But the old behavior for the
problematic filter combination was definitely confusing, inefficient and
anyway useless. Also, the behavior has relatively recently introduced.
It is difficult to anticipate any user that depends on the behavior.
Hence this is not a user-breaking behavior change but an obvious
improvement.
This patch (of 9):
DAMOS filters can be categorized into two groups depending on which layer
they are handled, namely core layer and ops layer. The groups are
important because the filtering behavior depends on evaluation sequence of
filters, and core layer-handled filters are evaluated before operations
layer-handled ones.
The behavior is clearly documented, but the implementation is bit
inefficient and complicated. All filters are maintained in a single list
(damos->filters) in mix. Filters evaluation logics in core layer and
operations layer iterates all the filters on the list, while skipping
filters that should be not handled by the layer of the logic. It is
inefficient. Making future extensions having differentiations for filters
of different handling layers will also be complicated.
Add a new list that will be used for having all operations layer-handled
DAMOS filters to DAMOS scheme data structure. Also add the support of its
initialization and basic traversal functions.

In the commit dcc25ae76eb7 ("writeback: move global_dirty_limit into
wb_domain") of the cgroup writeback backpressure propagation patchset,
Tejun made some adaptations to trace_balance_dirty_pages() for cgroup
writeback. However, this adaptation was incomplete and Tejun missed
further adaptation in the subsequent patches.
In the cgroup writeback scenario, if sdtc in balance_dirty_pages() is
assigned to mdtc, then upon entering trace_balance_dirty_pages(),
__entry->limit should be assigned based on the dirty_limit of the
corresponding memcg's wb_domain, rather than global_wb_domain.
To address this issue and simplify the implementation, introduce a 'limit'
field in struct dirty_throttle_control to store the hard_limit value
computed in wb_position_ratio() by calling hard_dirty_limit(). This field
will then be used in trace_balance_dirty_pages() to assign the value to
__entry->limit.

Patch series "Fix calculations in trace_balance_dirty_pages() for cgwb", v2.
In my experiment, I found that the output of trace_balance_dirty_pages()
in the cgroup writeback scenario was strange because
trace_balance_dirty_pages() always uses global_wb_domain.dirty_limit for
related calculations instead of the dirty_limit of the corresponding
memcg's wb_domain.
The basic idea of the fix is to store the hard dirty limit value computed
in wb_position_ratio() into struct dirty_throttle_control and use it for
calculations in trace_balance_dirty_pages().
This patch (of 3):
Currently, trace_balance_dirty_pages() already has 12 parameters. In the
patch #3, I initially attempted to introduce an additional parameter.
However, in include/linux/trace_events.h, bpf_trace_run12() only supports
up to 12 parameters and bpf_trace_run13() does not exist.
To reduce the number of parameters in trace_balance_dirty_pages(), we can
make it accept a pointer to struct dirty_throttle_control as a parameter.
To achieve this, we need to move the definition of struct
dirty_throttle_control from mm/page-writeback.c to
include/linux/writeback.h.

Currently page_counter tracks failcnt for counters used by v1 and v2
controllers. However failcnt is only exported for v1 deployment and thus
there is no need to maintain it in v2. The oom report does expose failcnt
for memory and swap in v2 but v2 already maintains MEMCG_MAX and
MEMCG_SWAP_MAX event counters which can be used.

Patch series "Fix lazy mmu mode", v2.
I'm planning to implement lazy mmu mode for arm64 to optimize vmalloc. As
part of that, I will extend lazy mmu mode to cover kernel mappings in
vmalloc table walkers. While lazy mmu mode is already used for kernel
mappings in a few places, this will extend it's use significantly.
Having reviewed the existing lazy mmu implementations in powerpc, sparc
and x86, it looks like there are a bunch of bugs, some of which may be
more likely to trigger once I extend the use of lazy mmu. So this series
attempts to clarify the requirements and fix all the bugs in advance of
that series. See patch #1 commit log for all the details.
This patch (of 5):
The docs, implementations and use of arch_[enter|leave]_lazy_mmu_mode() is
a bit of a mess (to put it politely). There are a number of issues
related to nesting of lazy mmu regions and confusion over whether the
task, when in a lazy mmu region, is preemptible or not. Fix all the
issues relating to the core-mm. Follow up commits will fix the
arch-specific implementations. 3 arches implement lazy mmu; powerpc,
sparc and x86.
When arch_[enter|leave]_lazy_mmu_mode() was first introduced by commit
6606c3e0da53 ("[PATCH] paravirt: lazy mmu mode hooks.patch"), it was
expected that lazy mmu regions would never nest and that the appropriate
page table lock(s) would be held while in the region, thus ensuring the
region is non-preemptible. Additionally lazy mmu regions were only used
during manipulation of user mappings.
Commit 38e0edb15bd0 ("mm/apply_to_range: call pte function with lazy
updates") started invoking the lazy mmu mode in apply_to_pte_range(),
which is used for both user and kernel mappings. For kernel mappings the
region is no longer protected by any lock so there is no longer any
guarantee about non-preemptibility. Additionally, for RT configs, the
holding the PTL only implies no CPU migration, it doesn't prevent
preemption.
Commit bcc6cc832573 ("mm: add default definition of set_ptes()") added
arch_[enter|leave]_lazy_mmu_mode() to the default implementation of
set_ptes(), used by x86. So after this commit, lazy mmu regions can be
nested. Additionally commit 1a10a44dfc1d ("sparc64: implement the new
page table range API") and commit 9fee28baa601 ("powerpc: implement the
new page table range API") did the same for the sparc and powerpc
set_ptes() overrides.
powerpc couldn't deal with preemption so avoids it in commit b9ef323ea168
("powerpc/64s: Disable preemption in hash lazy mmu mode"), which
explicitly disables preemption for the whole region in its implementation.
x86 can support preemption (or at least it could until it tried to add
support nesting; more on this below). Sparc looks to be totally broken in
the face of preemption, as far as I can tell.
powerpc can't deal with nesting, so avoids it in commit 47b8def9358c
("powerpc/mm: Avoid calling arch_enter/leave_lazy_mmu() in set_ptes"),
which removes the lazy mmu calls from its implementation of set_ptes().
x86 attempted to support nesting in commit 49147beb0ccb ("x86/xen: allow
nesting of same lazy mode") but as far as I can tell, this breaks its
support for preemption.
In short, it's all a mess; the semantics for
arch_[enter|leave]_lazy_mmu_mode() are not clearly defined and as a result
the implementations all have different expectations, sticking plasters and
bugs.
arm64 is aiming to start using these hooks, so let's clean everything up
before adding an arm64 implementation. Update the documentation to state
that lazy mmu regions can never be nested, must not be called in interrupt
context and preemption may or may not be enabled for the duration of the
region. And fix the generic implementation of set_ptes() to avoid
nesting.
arch-specific fixes to conform to the new spec will proceed this one.
These issues were spotted by code review and I have no evidence of issues
being reported in the wild.

Implement the DAMON sampling and aggregation intervals auto-tuning
mechanism as briefly described on 'struct damon_intervals_goal'. The core
part for deciding the direction and amount of the changes is implemented
reusing the feedback loop function which is being used for DAMOS quotas
auto-tuning. Unlike the DAMOS quotas auto-tuning use case, limit the
maximum decreasing amount after the adjustment to 50% of the current
value, though. This is because the intervals have no good merits at rapid
reductions since it could unnecessarily increase the monitoring overhead.

Patch series "mm/damon: auto-tune aggregation interval".
DAMON requires time-consuming and repetitive aggregation interval tuning.
Introduce a feature for automating it using a feedback loop that aims an
amount of observed access events, like auto-exposing cameras.
Background: Access Frequency Monitoring and Aggregation Interval
================================================================
DAMON checks if each memory element (damon_region) is accessed or not for
every user-specified time interval called 'sampling interval'. It
aggregates the check intervals on per-element counter called
'nr_accesses'. DAMON users can read the counters to get the access
temperature of a given element. The counters are reset for every another
user-specified time interval called 'aggregation interval'.
This can be illustrated as DAMON continuously capturing a snapshot of
access events that happen and captured within the last aggregation
interval. This implies the aggregation interval plays a key role for the
quality of the snapshots, like the camera exposure time. If it is too
short, the amount of access events that happened and captured for each
snapshot is small, so each snapshot will show no many interesting things
but just a cold and dark world with hopefuly one pale blue dot or two. If
it is too long, too many events are aggregated in a single shot, so each
snapshot will look like world of flames, or Muspellheim. It will be
difficult to find practical insights in both cases.
Problem: Time Consuming and Repetitive Tuning
=============================================
The appropriate length of the aggregation interval depends on how
frequently the system and workloads are making access events that DAMON
can observe. Hence, users have to tune the interval with excessive amount
of tests with the target system and workloads. If the system and
workloads are changed, the tuning should be done again. If the
characteristic of the workloads is dynamic, it becomes more challenging.
It is therefore time-consuming and repetitive.
The tuning challenge mainly stems from the wrong question. It is not
asking users what quality of monitoring results they want, but how DAMON
should operate for their hidden goal. To make the right answer, users
need to fully understand DAMON's mechanisms and the characteristics of
their workloads. Users shouldn't be asked to understand the underlying
mechanism. Understanding the characteristics of the workloads shouldn't
be the role of users but DAMON.
Aim-oriented Feedback-driven Auto-Tuning
=========================================
Fortunately, the appropriate length of the aggregation interval can be
inferred using a feedback loop. If the current snapshots are showing no
much intresting information, in other words, if it shows only rare access
events, increasing the aggregation interval helps, and vice versa. We
tested this theory on a few real-world workloads, and documented one of
the experience with an official DAMON monitoring intervals tuning
guideline. Since it is a simple theory that requires repeatable tries, it
can be a good job for machines.
Based on the guideline's theory, we design an automation of aggregation
interval tuning, in a way similar to that of camera auto-exposure feature.
It defines the amount of interesting information as the ratio of
DAMON-observed access events that DAMON actually observed to theoretical
maximum amount of it within each snapshot. Events are accounted in byte
and sampling attempts granularity. For example, let's say there is a
region of 'X' bytes size. DAMON tried access check smapling for the
region 'Y' times in total for a given aggregation. Among the 'Y'
attempts, 'Z' times it shown positive results. Then, the theoritical
maximum number of access events for the region is 'X * Y'. And the number
of access events that DAMON has observed for the region is 'X * Z'. The
abount of the interesting information is '(X * Z / X * Y)'. Note that
each snapshot would have multiple regions.
Users can set an arbitrary value of the ratio as their target. Once the
target is set, the automation periodically measures the current value of
the ratio and increase or decrease the aggregation interval if the ratio
value is lower or higher than the target. The amount of the change is
proportion to the distance between the current adn the target values.
To avoid auto-tuning goes too long way, let users set the minimum and the
maximum aggregation interval times. Changing only aggregation interval
while sampling interval is kept makes the maximum level of access
frequency in each snapshot, or discernment of regions inconsistent. Also,
unnecessarily short sampling interval causes meaningless monitoring
overhed. The automation therefore adjusts the sampling interval together
with aggregation interval, while keeping the ratio between the two
intervals. Users can set the ratio, or the discernment.
Discussion
==========
The modified question (aimed amount of access events, or lights, in each
snapshot) is easy to answer by both the users and the kernel. If users
are interested in finding more cold regions, the value should be lower,
and vice versa. If users have no idea, kernel can suggest a fair default
value based on some theories and experiments. For example, based on the
Pareto principle (80/20 rule), we could expect 20% target ratio will
capture 80% of real access events. Since 80% might be too high, applying
the rule once again, 4% (20% * 20%) may capture about 56% (80% * 80%) of
real access events.
Sampling to aggregation intervals ratio and min/max aggregation intervals
are also arguably easy to answer. What users want is discernment of
regions for efficient system operation, for examples, X amount of colder
regions or Y amount of warmer regions, not exactly how many times each
cache line is accessed in nanoseconds degree. The appropriate min/max
aggregation interval can relatively naively set, and may better to set for
aimed monitoring overhead. Since sampling interval is directly deciding
the overhead, setting it based on the sampling interval can be easy. With
my experiences, I'd argue the intervals ratio 0.05, and 5 milliseconds to
20 seconds sampling interval range (100 milliseconds to 400 seconds
aggregation interval) can be a good default suggestion.
Evaluation
==========
On a machine running a real world server workload, I ran DAMON to monitor
its physical address space for about 23 hours, with this feature turned
on. We set it to tune sampling interval in a range from 5 milliseconds to
10 seconds, aiming 4 % DAMON-observed access ratio per three aggregation
intervals. The exact command I used is as below.
damo start --monitoring_intervals_goal 4% 3 5ms 10s --damos_action stat
During the test run, DAMON continuously updated sampling and aggregation
intervals as designed, within the given range. For all the time, DAMON
was able to find the intervals that meets the target access events ratio
in the given intervals range (sampling interval between 5 milliseconds and
10 seconds).
For most of the time, tuned sampling interval was converged in 300-400
milliseconds. It made only small amount of changes within the range. The
average of the tuned sampling interval during the test was about 380
milliseconds.
The workload periodically gets less load and decreases its CPU usage.
Presumably this also caused it making less memory access events.
Reactively to such event,s DAMON also increased the intervals as expected.
It was still able to find the optimum interval that satisfying the target
access ratio within the given intervals range. Usually it was converged
to about 5 seconds. Once the workload gets normal amount of load again,
DAMON reactively reduced the intervals to the normal range.
I collected and visualized DAMON's monitoring results on the server a few
times. Every time the visualized access pattern looked not biased to only
cold or hot pages but diverse and balanced. Let me show some of the
snapshots that I collected at the nearly end of the test (after about 23
hours have passed since starting DAMON on the server).
The recency histogram looks as below. Please note that this visualization
shows only a very coarse grained information. For more details about the
visualization format, please refer to DAMON user-space tool
documentation[1].

memory bw estimate: 9.425 GiB per second
total size: 62.000 GiB
It shows about 38 GiB of memory was accessed at least once within last
aggregation interval (given ~300 milliseconds tuned sampling interval,
this is about six seconds). This is about 61 % of the total memory. In
other words, DAMON found warmest 61 % memory of the system. The number is
particularly interesting given our Pareto principle based theory for the
tuning goal value. We set it as 20 % of 20 % (4 %), thinking it would
capture 80 % of 80 % (64 %) real access events. And it foudn 61 % hot
memory, or working set. Nevertheless, to make the theory clearer, much
more discussion and tests would be needed. At the moment, nonetheless, we
can say making the target value higher helps finding more hot memory
regions.
The histogram also shows an amount of cold memory. About 17 GiB memory of
the system has not accessed at least for last aggregation interval (about
six seconds), and at most for about last two hours. The real longest
unaccessed time of the 17 GiB memory was about 19 minutes, though. This
is a limitation of this visualization format.
It further found very cold 6 GiB memory. It has not accessed at least for
last 17 hours and at most 19 hours.
What about hot memory distribution? To see this, I capture and visualize
the snapshot in access temperature histogram. Again, please refer to the
DAMON user-space tool documentation[1] for the format and what access
temperature mean. Both the visualization and metric shows only very
coarse grained and limited information. The resulting histogram look like
below.

We can see most of the memory is in similar access temperature range, and
definitely some pages are extremely hot.
To see the picture in more detail, let's capture and visualize the
snapshot per DAMON-region, sorted by their access temperature. The total
number of the regions was about 300. Due to the limited space, I'm
showing only a few parts of the output here.

We can see DAMON found small and extremely hot regions that accessed for
all access check sampling (once per about 300 milliseconds) for more than
10 hours. The access temperature rapidly decreases. DAMON was also able
to find small and big regions that not accessed for up to about 19
minutes. It even found an outlier cold region of 6 GiB that not accessed
for about 19 hours. It is unclear what the outlier region is, as of this
writing.
For the testing, DAMON was consuming about 0.1% of single CPU time. This
is again expected results, since DAMON was using about 370 milliseconds
sampling interval in most case.
# ps -p $kdamond_pid -o %cpu
%CPU
0.1
I also ran similar tests against kernel build workload and an in-memory
cache workload benchmark[2]. Detialed results including tuned intervals
and captured access pattern were of course different sicne those depend on
the workloads. But the auto-tuning feature was always working as expected
like the above results for the real world workload.
To wrap up, with intervals auto-tuning feature, DAMON was able to capture
access pattern snapshots of a quality on a real world server workload.
The auto-tuning feature was able to adaptively react to the dynamic access
patterns of the workload and reliably provide consistent monitoring
results without manual human interventions. Also, the auto-tuning made
DAMON consumes only necessary amount of resource for the required quality.

This patch (of 8):
Add data structures for DAMON sampling and aggregation intervals automatic
tuning that aims specific amount of DAMON-observed access events per
snapshot. In more detail, define the data structure for the tuning goal,
link it to the monitoring attributes data structure so that DAMON kernel
API callers can make the request, and update parameters setup DAMON
function to respect the new parameter.

Let's limit the use of MMU_NOTIFY_EXCLUSIVE to the case where we convert a
present PTE to device-exclusive. For the other case, we can simply use
MMU_NOTIFY_CLEAR, because it really is clearing the device-exclusive entry
first, to then install the present entry.
Update the documentation of MMU_NOTIFY_EXCLUSIVE, to document the single
use case more thoroughly.
If ever required, we could add a separate MMU_NOTIFY_CLEAR_EXCLUSIVE; for
now using MMU_NOTIFY_CLEAR seems to be sufficient.

Replace the int type with size_t for variables representing array sizes
and indices in the min-heap implementation. Using size_t aligns with
standard practices for size-related variables and avoids potential issues
on platforms where int may be insufficient to represent all valid sizes or
indices.

This is inadequate in the general case as a driver reporting e.g. an
imminent power failure can't know whether a shutdown or a reboot would be
more appropriate for a given hardware platform.
With the addition of the hw_protection parameter, it's now possible to
configure at runtime the default emergency action and drivers are expected
to use hw_protection_trigger to have this parameter dictate policy.
As no current users of either hw_protection_shutdown or
hw_protection_shutdown helpers remain, remove them, as not to tempt driver
authors to call them.
Existing users now either defer to hw_protection_trigger or call
__hw_protection_trigger with a suitable argument directly when they have
inside knowledge on whether a reboot or shutdown would be more
appropriate.

We currently leave the decision of whether to shutdown or reboot to
protect hardware in an emergency situation to the individual drivers.
This works out in some cases, where the driver detecting the critical
failure has inside knowledge: It binds to the system management controller
for example or is guided by hardware description that defines what to do.
In the general case, however, the driver detecting the issue can't know
what the appropriate course of action is and shouldn't be dictating the
policy of dealing with it.
Therefore, add a global hw_protection toggle that allows the user to
specify whether shutdown or reboot should be the default action when the
driver doesn't set policy.
This introduces no functional change yet as hw_protection_trigger() has no
callers, but these will be added in subsequent commits.

The __hw_protection_shutdown function name has become misleading since it
can cause either a shutdown (poweroff) or a reboot depending on its
argument.
To avoid further confusion, let's rename it, so it doesn't suggest that a
poweroff is all it can do.

Patch series "reboot: support runtime configuration of emergency
hw_protection action", v3.
We currently leave the decision of whether to shutdown or reboot to
protect hardware in an emergency situation to the individual drivers.
This works out in some cases, where the driver detecting the critical
failure has inside knowledge: It binds to the system management controller
for example or is guided by hardware description that defines what to do.
This is inadequate in the general case though as a driver reporting e.g.
an imminent power failure can't know whether a shutdown or a reboot would
be more appropriate for a given hardware platform.
To address this, this series adds a hw_protection kernel parameter and
sysfs toggle that can be used to change the action from the shutdown
default to reboot. A new hw_protection_trigger API then makes use of this
default action.
My particular use case is unattended embedded systems that don't have
support for shutdown and that power on automatically when power is
supplied:
- A brief power cycle gets detected by the driver
- The kernel powers down the system and SoC goes into shutdown mode
- Power is restored
- The system remains oblivious to the restored power
- System needs to be manually power cycled for a duration long enough
to drain the capacitors
With this series, such systems can configure the kernel with
hw_protection=reboot to have the boot firmware worry about critical
conditions.
This patch (of 12):
Currently __hw_protection_shutdown() either reboots or shuts down the
system according to its shutdown argument.
To make the logic easier to follow, both inside __hw_protection_shutdown
and at caller sites, lets replace the bool parameter with an enum.
This will be extra useful, when in a later commit, a third action is added
to the enumeration.
No functional change.

The ucounts element is looked up under ucounts_lock. This can be
optimized by using RCU for a lockless lookup and return and element if the
reference can be obtained.
Replace hlist_head with hlist_nulls_head which is RCU compatible. Let
find_ucounts() search for the required item within a RCU section and
return the item if a reference could be obtained. This means
alloc_ucounts() will always return an element (unless the memory
allocation failed). Let put_ucounts() RCU free the element if the
reference counter dropped to zero.

Patch series "ucount: Simplify refcounting with rcuref_t".
I noticed that the atomic_dec_and_lock_irqsave() in put_ucounts() loops
sometimes even during boot. Something like 2-3 iterations but still.
This series replaces the refcounting with rcuref_t and adds a RCU lookup.
This allows a lockless lookup in alloc_ucounts() if the entry is available
and a cmpxchg()less put of the item.

Although the crashkernel area is reserved, on architectures like PowerPC,
it is possible for the crashkernel reserved area to contain components
like RTAS, TCE, OPAL, etc. To avoid placing kexec segments over these
components, PowerPC has its own set of APIs to locate holes in the
crashkernel reserved area.
Add an arch hook in the generic locate mem hole APIs so that architectures
can handle such special regions in the crashkernel area while locating
memory holes for kexec segments using generic APIs. With this, a lot of
redundant arch-specific code can be removed, as it performs the exact same
job as the generic APIs.
To keep the generic and arch-specific changes separate, the changes
related to moving PowerPC to use the generic APIs and the removal of
PowerPC-specific APIs for memory hole allocation are done in a subsequent
patch titled "powerpc/crash: Use generic APIs to locate memory hole for
kdump.

Current allocation workflow first traverses the plist with a global lock
held, after choosing a device, it uses the percpu cluster on that swap
device. This commit moves the percpu cluster variable out of being tied
to individual swap devices, making it a global percpu variable, and will
be used directly for allocation as a fast path.
The global percpu cluster variable will never point to a HDD device, and
allocations on a HDD device are still globally serialized.
This improves the allocator performance and prepares for removal of the
slot cache in later commits. There shouldn't be much observable behavior
change, except one thing: this changes how swap device allocation rotation
works.
Currently, each allocation will rotate the plist, and because of the
existence of slot cache (one order 0 allocation usually returns 64
entries), swap devices of the same priority are rotated for every 64 order
0 entries consumed. High order allocations are different, they will
bypass the slot cache, and so swap device is rotated for every 16K, 32K,
or up to 2M allocation.
The rotation rule was never clearly defined or documented, it was changed
several times without mentioning.
After this commit, and once slot cache is gone in later commits, swap
device rotation will happen for every consumed cluster. Ideally non-HDD
devices will be rotated if 2M space has been consumed for each order.
Fragmented clusters will rotate the device faster, which seems OK. HDD
devices is rotated for every allocation regardless of the allocation
order, which should be OK too and trivial.
This commit also slightly changes allocation behaviour for slot cache.
The new added cluster allocation fast path may allocate entries from
different device to the slot cache, this is not observable from user
space, only impact performance very slightly, and slot cache will be just
gone in next commit, so this can be ignored.

Current object mapping API is a little cumbersome. First, it's
inconsistent, sometimes it returns with page-faults disabled and sometimes
with page-faults enabled. Second, and most importantly, it enforces
atomicity restrictions on its users. zs_map_object() has to return a
liner object address which is not always possible because some objects
span multiple physical (non-contiguous) pages. For such objects zsmalloc
uses a per-CPU buffer to which object's data is copied before a pointer to
that per-CPU buffer is returned back to the caller. This leads to
another, final, issue - extra memcpy(). Since the caller gets a pointer
to per-CPU buffer it can memcpy() data only to that buffer, and during
zs_unmap_object() zsmalloc will memcpy() from that per-CPU buffer to
physical pages that object in question spans across.
New API splits functions by access mode:
- zs_obj_read_begin(handle, local_copy)
Returns a pointer to handle memory. For objects that span two
physical pages a local_copy buffer is used to store object's
data before the address is returned to the caller. Otherwise
the object's page is kmap_local mapped directly.
- zs_obj_read_end(handle, buf)
Unmaps the page if it was kmap_local mapped by zs_obj_read_begin().
- zs_obj_write(handle, buf, len)
Copies len-bytes from compression buffer to handle memory
(takes care of objects that span two pages). This does not
need any additional (e.g. per-CPU) buffers and writes the data
directly to zsmalloc pool pages.
In terms of performance, on a synthetic and completely reproducible
test that allocates fixed number of objects of fixed sizes and
iterates over those objects, first mapping in RO then in RW mode:

Patch series "mm/damon: introduce DAMOS filter type for unmapped pages".
User decides whether their memory will be mapped or unmapped. It implies
that the two types of memory can have different characteristics and
management requirements. Provide the DAMON-observaibility DAMOS-operation
capability for the different types by introducing a new DAMOS filter type
for unmapped pages.
This patch (of 2):
Implement yet another DAMOS filter type for unmapped pages on DAMON kernel
API, and add support of it from the physical address space DAMON
operations set (paddr). Since it is for only unmapped pages, support from
the virtual address spaces DAMON operations set (vaddr) is not required.

If hugetlb_cma_only is enabled, we know that hugetlb pages can only be
allocated from CMA. Now that there is an interface to do early
reservations from a CMA area (returning memblock memory), it can be used
to allocate hugetlb pages from CMA.
This also allows for doing pre-HVO on these pages (if enabled).
Make sure to initialize the page structures and associated data correctly.
Create a flag to signal that a hugetlb page has been allocated from CMA
to make things a little easier.
Some configurations of powerpc have a special hugetlb bootmem allocator,
so introduce a boolean arch_specific_huge_bootmem_alloc that returns true
if such an allocator is present. In that case, CMA bootmem allocations
can't be used, so check that function before trying.

Define a function to check if a CMA area is valid, which means: do its
ranges not cross any zone boundaries. Store the result in the newly
created flags for each CMA area, so that multiple calls are dealt with.
This allows for checking the validity of a CMA area early, which is needed
later in order to be able to allocate hugetlb bootmem pages from it with
pre-HVO.

For large systems, the overhead of vmemmap pages for hugetlb is
substantial. It's about 1.5% of memory, which is about 45G for a 3T
system. If you want to configure most of that system for hugetlb (e.g.
to use as backing memory for VMs), there is a chance of running out of
memory on boot, even though you know that the 45G will become available
later.
To avoid this scenario, and since it's a waste to first allocate and then
free that 45G during boot, do pre-HVO for hugetlb bootmem allocated pages
('gigantic' pages).
pre-HVO is done by adding functions that are called from
sparse_init_nid_early and sparse_init_nid_late. The first is called
before memmap allocation, so it takes care of allocating memmap HVO-style.
The second verifies that all bootmem pages look good, specifically it
checks that they do not intersect with multiple zones. This can only be
done from sparse_init_nid_late path, when zones have been initialized.
The hugetlb page size must be aligned to the section size, and aligned to
the size of memory described by the number of page structures contained in
one PMD (since pre-HVO is not prepared to split PMDs). This should be
true for most 'gigantic' pages, it is for 1G pages on x86, where both of
these alignment requirements are 128M.
This will only have an effect if hugetlb_bootmem_alloc was called early in
boot. If not, it won't do anything, and HVO for bootmem hugetlb pages
works as before.

Define flags for pre-HVOed bootmem hugetlb pages, and act on them.
The most important flag is the HVO flag, signalling that a bootmem
allocated gigantic page has already been HVO-ed. If this flag is seen by
the hugetlb bootmem gather code, the page is marked as HVO optimized. The
HVO code will then not try to optimize it again. Instead, it will just
map the tail page mirror pages read-only, completing the HVO steps.
No functional change, as nothing sets the flags yet.

Architectures that want pre-HVO of hugetlb vmemmap pages will need to call
hugetlb_bootmem_alloc from an earlier spot in boot (before sparse_init).
To facilitate some architectures doing this, protect hugetlb_bootmem_alloc
against multiple calls.
Also provide a helper function to check if it's been called, so that the
early HVO code, to be added later, can see if there is anything to do.
