Patch series "fix error handling in mmap_region() and refactor", v3.
The mmap_region() function is somewhat terrifying, with spaghetti-like
control flow and numerous means by which issues can arise and incomplete
state, memory leaks and other unpleasantness can occur.
This series goes to great lengths to simplify how mmap_region() works and
to avoid unwinding errors late on in the process of setting up the VMA for
the new mapping, and equally avoids such operations occurring while the
VMA is in an inconsistent state.
This series builds on the previously submitted hotfix patches (see link to
v2 below) which addresses the most critical issues around mmap_region(),
and further works to improve mmap_region() complexity, stability, and
testability.
This series moves the code to mm/vma.c to render it userland testable,
refactors and simplifies it into smaller functions that are significantly
more readable.
It additionally avoids performing an attempt at a second merge mid-way
through allocating a new VMA, a dubious proposition at best and one that
is highly subject to subtle bugs.
Rather than do this, we simply note that we ought to retry the merge and
do this as a final step.
This patch (of 3):
Add some additional vma_internal.h stubs in preparation for
__mmap_region() being moved to mm/vma.c. Without these the move would
result in the tests no longer compiling.

The phys_addr_t size is predicated on whether CONFIG_PHYS_ADDR_T_64BIT is
set or not.
In the VMA tests, virt_to_phys() from tools/include/linux casts a volatile
void * pointer to phys_addr_t, if CONFIG_PHYS_ADDR_T_64BIT is not set,
this will be 32-bit and trigger a warning.
Obviously this might also lead to truncation, which we would rather avoid.
Fix this by adjusting the generation of generated/bit-length.h to generate
a CONFIG_PHYS_ADDR_T{bits}BIT define.
This does result in the generation of the useless CONFIG_PHYS_ADDR_T_32BIT
define for 32-bit systems, but this should have no effect, and makes
implementation of this easier.
This resolves the issue and the warning.

A recent refactor transformed the check for process completion
in a true statement, due to a typo.

Add push/pop checking for msg_verify_data in test_sockmap, except for
pop/push with cork tests, in these tests the logic will be different.
1. With corking, pop/push might not be invoked in each sendmsg, it makes
the layout of the received data difficult
2. It makes it hard to calculate the total_bytes in the recvmsg
Temporarily skip the data integrity test for these cases now, added a TODO

total_bytes in msg_loop_rx should also take push into account, otherwise
total_bytes will be a smaller value, which makes the msg_loop_rx end early.
Besides, total_bytes has already taken pop into account, so we don't need
to subtract some bytes from iov_buf in sendmsg_test. The additional
subtraction may make total_bytes a negative number, and msg_loop_rx will
just end without checking anything.

In the SENDPAGE test, "opt->iov_length * cnt" size of data will be sent
cnt times by sendfile.
1. In push/pop tests, they will be invoked cnt times, for the simplicity of
msg_verify_data, change chunk_sz to iov_length
2. Change iov_length in test_send_large from 1024 to 8192. We have pop test

In the presence of both weak and strong function definitions, the
linker drops the weak symbol in favor of a strong symbol, but
leaves the code in place. Code in ignore_unreachable_insn() has
some heuristics to suppress the warning, but it does not work when
-ffunction-sections is enabled.
Suppose function foo has both strong and weak definitions.
Case 1: The strong definition has an annotated section name,
like .init.text. Only the weak definition will be placed into
.text.foo. But since the section has no symbols, there will be no
"hole" in the section.
Case 2: Both sections are without an annotated section name.
Both will be placed into .text.foo section, but there will be only one
symbol (the strong one). If the weak code is before the strong code,
there is no "hole" as it fails to find the right-most symbol before
the offset.
The fix is to use the first node to compute the hole if hole.sym
is empty. If there is no symbol in the section, the first node
will be NULL, in which case, -1 is returned to skip the whole
section.

Add the build support for using Clang's AutoFDO. Building the kernel
with AutoFDO does not reduce the optimization level from the
compiler. AutoFDO uses hardware sampling to gather information about
the frequency of execution of different code paths within a binary.
This information is then used to guide the compiler's optimization
decisions, resulting in a more efficient binary. Experiments
showed that the kernel can improve up to 10% in latency.
The support requires a Clang compiler after LLVM 17. This submission
is limited to x86 platforms that support PMU features like LBR on
Intel machines and AMD Zen3 BRS. Support for SPE on ARM 1,
and BRBE on ARM 1 is part of planned future work.
Here is an example workflow for AutoFDO kernel:
1) Build the kernel on the host machine with LLVM enabled, for example,
$ make menuconfig LLVM=1
Turn on AutoFDO build config:
CONFIG_AUTOFDO_CLANG=y
With a configuration that has LLVM enabled, use the following
command:
scripts/config -e AUTOFDO_CLANG
After getting the config, build with
$ make LLVM=1
2) Install the kernel on the test machine.
3) Run the load tests. The '-c' option in perf specifies the sample
event period. We suggest using a suitable prime number,
like 500009, for this purpose.
For Intel platforms:
$ perf record -e BR_INST_RETIRED.NEAR_TAKEN:k -a -N -b -c <count> \
-o <perf_file> -- <loadtest>
For AMD platforms:
The supported system are: Zen3 with BRS, or Zen4 with amd_lbr_v2
For Zen3:
$ cat proc/cpuinfo | grep " brs"
For Zen4:
$ cat proc/cpuinfo | grep amd_lbr_v2
$ perf record --pfm-events RETIRED_TAKEN_BRANCH_INSTRUCTIONS:k -a \
-N -b -c <count> -o <perf_file> -- <loadtest>
4) (Optional) Download the raw perf file to the host machine.
5) To generate an AutoFDO profile, two offline tools are available:
create_llvm_prof and llvm_profgen. The create_llvm_prof tool is part
of the AutoFDO project and can be found on GitHub
(https://github.com/google/autofdo), version v0.30.1 or later. The
llvm_profgen tool is included in the LLVM compiler itself. It's
important to note that the version of llvm_profgen doesn't need to
match the version of Clang. It needs to be the LLVM 19 release or
later, or from the LLVM trunk.
$ llvm-profgen --kernel --binary=<vmlinux> --perfdata=<perf_file> \
-o <profile_file>
or
$ create_llvm_prof --binary=<vmlinux> --profile=<perf_file> \
--format=extbinary --out=<profile_file>
Note that multiple AutoFDO profile files can be merged into one via:
$ llvm-profdata merge -o <profile_file> <profile_1> ... <profile_n>
6) Rebuild the kernel using the AutoFDO profile file with the same config
as step 1, (Note CONFIG_AUTOFDO_CLANG needs to be enabled):
$ make LLVM=1 CLANG_AUTOFDO_PROFILE=<profile_file>

Patch series "selftests/mm: hugetlb_fault_after_madv improvements".
Mario brought to my attention that the hugetlb_fault_after_madv test is
currently always skipped on s390x. Let's adjust the test to be
independent of the default hugetlb page size and while at it, also improve
the test output.
This patch (of 2):
We currently assume that the hugetlb page size is 2 MiB, which is why we
mmap() a 2 MiB range.
Is the default hugetlb size is larger, mmap() will fail because the range
is not suitable. If the default hugetlb size is smaller (e.g., s390x),
mmap() will fail because we would need more than one hugetlb page, but
just asserted that we have exactly one.
So let's simply use the default hugetlb page size instead of hard-coded 2
MiB, so the test isn't unconditionally skipped on architectures like
s390x.
Before this patch on s390x:
$ ./hugetlb_fault_after_madv
1..0 # SKIP Failed to allocated huge page
With this change on s390x:
$ ./hugetlb_fault_after_madv
While at it, make "huge_ptr" static.

Recently, the net/lib.sh file has been modified to include defer.sh from
net/lib/sh/ directory. The Makefile from net/lib has been modified
accordingly, but not the ones from the sub-targets using net/lib.sh.
Because of that, the new file is not installed as expected when
installing the Forwarding, MPTCP, and Netfilter targets, e.g.
# make -C tools/testing/selftests TARGETS=net/mptcp install \
INSTALL_PATH=/tmp/kself
# cd /tmp/kself/
# ./run_kselftest.sh -c net/mptcp
TAP version 13
1..7
# timeout set to 1800
# selftests: net/mptcp: mptcp_connect.sh
# ./../lib.sh: line 5: /tmp/kself/net/lib/sh/defer.sh: No such file
or directory
# (...)
This can be fixed simply by adding all the .sh files from net/lib/sh
directory to the TEST_INCLUDES variable in the different Makefile's.

As reported by Byeonguk, the bad_words test in verifier_bits_iter.c
occasionally fails on s390 host. Quoting Ilya's explanation:
s390 kernel runs in a completely separate address space, there is no
user/kernel split at TASK_SIZE. The same address may be valid in both
the kernel and the user address spaces, there is no way to tell by
looking at it. The config option related to this property is
ARCH_HAS_NON_OVERLAPPING_ADDRESS_SPACE.
Also, unfortunately, 0 is a valid address in the s390 kernel address
space.
Fix the issue by using -4095 as the bad address for bits iterator, as
suggested by Ilya. Verify that bpf_iter_bits_new() returns -EINVAL for
NULL address and -EFAULT for bad address.

During the parallel testing, I've noticed some ftrace test failures. It
seems the regex pattern checks 100 msec of nanosleep with the error

Disable strict aliasing, as has been done in the kernel proper for decades
(literally since before git history) to fix issues where gcc will optimize
away loads in code that looks 100% correct, but is _technically_ undefined
behavior, and thus can be thrown away by the compiler.
E.g. arm64's vPMU counter access test casts a uint64_t (unsigned long)
pointer to a u64 (unsigned long long) pointer when setting PMCR.N via
u64p_replace_bits(), which gcc-13 detects and optimizes away, i.e. ignores
the result and uses the original PMCR.
The issue is most easily observed by making set_pmcr_n() noinline and
wrapping the call with printf(), e.g. sans comments, for this code:
printf("orig = %lx, next = %lx, want = %lu\n", pmcr_orig, pmcr, pmcr_n);
set_pmcr_n(&pmcr, pmcr_n);
printf("orig = %lx, next = %lx, want = %lu\n", pmcr_orig, pmcr, pmcr_n);
gcc-13 generates:

401c94: b3751022 bfi x2, x1, #11, #5

The Memory Bandwidth Allocation (MBA) test iterates through all possible
MBA allocations, from 10% (ALLOCATION_MIN) to 100% (ALLOCATION_MAX) with
increments of 10% (ALLOCATION_STEP) at each iteration. During each
iteration the test measures the actual memory bandwidth NUM_OF_RUNS times
to determine the impact of MBA on actual memory bandwidth.
After the MBA test completes all the memory bandwidth measurements are
parsed into an array. One array for resctrl Memory Bandwidth Monitoring
(MBM) measurements and one array for the Integrated Memory Controller
(iMC) measurements. Each array has a hardcoded size of 1024 that is
large enough to hold the current test data, but this hardcoded value makes
the implementation difficult to understand. It will not be clear that this
array needs to be reconsidered if any of the test parameters are changed.
Replace the magic constant as array size with the test parameters the
array size depends on.

The resctrl selftests drop the results from every first test run
to avoid (per comment) "inaccurate due to monitoring setup transition
phase" data. Previously inaccurate data resulted from workloads needing
some time to "settle" and also the measurements themselves to
account for earlier measurements to measure across needed timeframe.
commit da50de0a92f3 ("selftests/resctrl: Calculate resctrl FS derived mem
bw over sleep(1) only")
ensured that measurements accurately measure just the time frame of
interest. The default "fill_buf" benchmark since separated the buffer
prepare phase from the benchmark run phase reducing the need for the
tests themselves to accommodate the benchmark's "settle" time.
With these enhancements there are no remaining portions needing
to "settle" and the first test run can contribute to measurements.

bandwidth
The MBA test incrementally throttles memory bandwidth, each time
followed by a comparison between the memory bandwidth observed
by the performance counters and resctrl respectively.
While a comparison between performance counters and resctrl is
generally appropriate, they do not have an identical view of
memory bandwidth. For example RAS features or memory performance
features that generate memory traffic may drive accesses that are
counted differently by performance counters and MBM respectively,
for instance generating "overhead" traffic which is not counted
against any specific RMID. As a ratio, this different view of memory
bandwidth becomes more apparent at low memory bandwidths.
It is not practical to enable/disable the various features that
may generate memory bandwidth to give performance counters and
resctrl an identical view. Instead, do not compare performance
counters and resctrl view of memory bandwidth when the memory
bandwidth is low.
Bandwidth throttling behaves differently across platforms
so it is not appropriate to drop measurement data simply based
on the throttling level. Instead, use a threshold of 750MiB
that has been observed to support adequate comparison between
performance counters and resctrl.

By default the MBM and MBA tests use the "fill_buf" benchmark to
read from a buffer with the goal to measure the memory bandwidth
generated by this buffer access.
Care should be taken when sizing the buffer used by the "fill_buf"
benchmark. If the buffer is small enough to fit in the cache then
it cannot be expected that the benchmark will generate much memory
bandwidth. For example, on a system with 320MB L3 cache the existing
hardcoded default of 250MB is insufficient.
Use the measured cache size to determine a buffer size that can be
expected to trigger memory access while keeping the existing default
as minimum, now renamed to MINIMUM_SPAN, that has been appropriate for
testing so far.

The CMT, MBA, and MBM tests rely on the resctrl_val() wrapper to
start and run a benchmark while providing test specific flows
via callbacks to do test specific configuration and measurements.
At a high level, the resctrl_val() flow is:
a) Start by fork()ing a child process that installs a signal
handler for SIGUSR1 that, on receipt of SIGUSR1, will
start running a benchmark.
b) Assign the child process created in (a) to the resctrl
control and monitoring group that dictates the memory and
cache allocations with which the process can run and will
contain all resctrl monitoring data of that process.
c) Once parent and child are considered "ready" (determined via
a message over a pipe) the parent signals the child (via
SIGUSR1) to start the benchmark, waits one second for the
benchmark to run, and then starts collecting monitoring data
for the tests, potentially also changing allocation
configuration depending on the various test callbacks.
A problem with the above flow is the "black box" view of the
benchmark that is combined with an arbitrarily chosen
"wait one second" before measurements start. No matter what
the benchmark does, it is given one second to initialize before
measurements start.
The default benchmark "fill_buf" consists of two parts,
first it prepares a buffer (allocate, initialize, then flush), then it
reads from the buffer (in unpredictable ways) until terminated.
Depending on the system and the size of the buffer, the first "prepare"
part may not be complete by the time the one second delay expires. Test
measurements may thus start before the work needing to be measured runs.
Split the default benchmark into its "prepare" and "runtime" parts and
simplify the resctrl_val() wrapper while doing so. This same split
cannot be done for the user provided benchmark (without a user
interface change), so the current behavior is maintained for user
provided benchmark.
Assign the test itself to the control and monitoring group and run the
"prepare" part of the benchmark in this context, ensuring it runs with
required cache and memory bandwidth allocations. With the benchmark
preparation complete it is only needed to fork() the "runtime" part
of the benchmark (or entire user provided benchmark).
Keep the "wait one second" delay before measurements start. For the
default "fill_buf" benchmark this time now covers only the "runtime"
portion that needs to be measured. For the user provided benchmark this
delay maintains current behavior.

The benchmark used during the CMT, MBM, and MBA tests can be provided by
the user via (-b) parameter, if not provided the default "fill_buf"
benchmark is used. The user is additionally able to override
any of the "fill_buf" default parameters when running the tests with
"-b fill_buf <fill_buf parameters>".
The "fill_buf" parameters are managed as an array of strings. Using an
array of strings is complex because it requires transformations to/from
strings at every producer and consumer. This is made worse for the
individual tests where the default benchmark parameters values may not
be appropriate and additional data wrangling is required. For example,
the CMT test duplicates the entire array of strings in order to replace
one of the parameters.
More issues appear when combining the usage of an array of strings with
the use case of user overriding default parameters by specifying
"-b fill_buf <parameters>". This use case is fragile with opportunities
to trigger a SIGSEGV because of opportunities for NULL pointers to exist
in the array of strings. For example, by running below (thus by specifying
"fill_buf" should be used but all parameters are NULL):
$ sudo resctrl_tests -t mbm -b fill_buf
Replace the "array of strings" parameters used for "fill_buf" with
new struct fill_buf_param that contains the "fill_buf" parameters that
can be used directly without transformations to/from strings. Two
instances of struct fill_buf_param may exist at any point in time:
* If the user provides new parameters to "fill_buf", the
user parameter structure (struct user_params) will point to a
fully initialized and immutable struct fill_buf_param
containing the user provided parameters.
* If "fill_buf" is the benchmark that should be used by a test,
then the test parameter structure (struct resctrl_val_param)
will point to a fully initialized struct fill_buf_param. The
latter may contain (a) the user provided parameters verbatim,
(b) user provided parameters adjusted to be appropriate for
the test, or (c) the default parameters for "fill_buf" that
is appropriate for the test if the user did not provide
"fill_buf" parameters nor an alternate benchmark.
The existing behavior of CMT test is to use test defined value for the
buffer size even if the user provides another value via command line.
This behavior is maintained since the test requires that the buffer size
matches the size of the cache allocated, and the amount of cache
allocated can instead be changed by the user with the "-n" command line
parameter.

The CMT, MBM, and MBA tests rely on a benchmark to generate
memory traffic. By default this is the "fill_buf" benchmark that
can be replaced via the "-b" command line argument.
The original intent of the "-b" command line parameter was
to replace the default "fill_buf" benchmark, but the implementation
also exposes an alternative use case where the "fill_buf" parameters
itself can be modified. One of the parameters to "fill_buf" is the
"operation" that can be either "read" or "write" and indicates
whether the "fill_buf" should use "read" or "write" operations on the
allocated buffer.
While replacing "fill_buf" default parameters is technically possible,
replacing the default "read" parameter with "write" is not supported
because the MBA and MBM tests only measure "read" operations. The
"read" operation is also most appropriate for the CMT test that aims
to use the benchmark to allocate into the cache.
Avoid any potential inconsistencies between test and measurement by
removing code for unsupported "write" operations to the buffer.
Ignore any attempt from user space to enable this unsupported test
configuration, instead always use read operations.
Keep the initialization of the, now unused, "fill_buf" parameters
to reserve these parameter positions since it has been exposed as an API.
Future parameter additions cannot use these parameter positions.

The CMT, MBM, and MBA tests rely on a benchmark that runs while
the test makes changes to needed configuration (for example memory
bandwidth allocation) and takes needed measurements. By default
the "fill_buf" benchmark is used and by default (via its
"once = false" setting) "fill_buf" is configured to run until
terminated after the test completes.
An unintended consequence of enabling the user to override the
benchmark also enables the user to change parameters to the
"fill_buf" benchmark. This enables the user to set "fill_buf" to
only cycle through the buffer once (by setting "once = true")
and thus breaking the CMT, MBA, and MBM tests that expect
workload/interference to be reflected by their measurements.
Prevent user space from changing the "once" parameter and ensure
that it is always false for the CMT, MBA, and MBM tests.
