git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/mcgrof/linux Pull module updates from Luis Chamberlain: "As requested by Jessica I'm stepping in to help with modules maintenance. This is my first pull request to you. I've collected only two patches for modules for the 5.16-rc1 merge window. These patches are from Shuah Khan as she debugged some corner case error with modules. The error messages are improved for elf_validity_check(). While doing this work a corner case fix was spotted on validate_section_offset() due to a possible overflow bug on 64-bit. The impact of this fix is low given this just limits module section headers placed within the 32-bit boundary, and we obviously don't have insane module sizes. Even if a specially crafted module is constructed later checks would invalidate the module right away. I've let this sit through 0-day testing since October 15th with no issues found" * tag 'modules-5.16-rc1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/mcgrof/linux: module: change to print useful messages from elf_validity_check() module: fix validate_section_offset() overflow bug on 64-bit
2021-11-07Add gitignore file for samples/fanotify/ subdirectoryLinus Torvalds
Commit 5451093081db ("samples: Add fs error monitoring example") added a new sample program, but didn't teach git to ignore the new generated files, causing unnecessary noise from 'git status' after a full build. Add the 'fs-monitor' sample executable to the .gitignore for this subdirectory to silence it all again. Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

Some descriptions of page flags in 'pagemap.rst' are written in assumption of none-rst, which respects every new line, as below: 7 - SLAB page is managed by the SLAB/SLOB/SLUB/SLQB kernel memory allocator When compound page is used, SLUB/SLQB will only set this flag on the head Because rst ignores the new line between the first sentence and second sentence, resulting html looks a little bit weird, as below. 7 - SLAB page is managed by the SLAB/SLOB/SLUB/SLQB kernel memory allocator When ^ compound page is used, SLUB/SLQB will only set this flag on the head page; SLOB will not flag it at all.

2021-11-06mm/damon: introduce DAMON-based Reclamation (DAMON_RECLAIM)SeongJae Park
This implements a new kernel subsystem that finds cold memory regions using DAMON and reclaims those immediately. It is intended to be used as proactive lightweigh reclamation logic for light memory pressure. For heavy memory pressure, it could be inactivated and fall back to the traditional page-scanning based reclamation. It's implemented on top of DAMON framework to use the DAMON-based Operation Schemes (DAMOS) feature. It utilizes all the DAMOS features including speed limit, prioritization, and watermarks. It could be enabled and tuned in boot time via the kernel boot parameter, and in run time via its module parameters ('/sys/module/damon_reclaim/parameters/') interface.

2021-11-06mm/damon/schemes: activate schemes based on a watermarks mechanismSeongJae Park
DAMON-based operation schemes need to be manually turned on and off. In some use cases, however, the condition for turning a scheme on and off would depend on the system's situation. For example, schemes for proactive pages reclamation would need to be turned on when some memory pressure is detected, and turned off when the system has enough free memory. For easier control of schemes activation based on the system situation, this introduces a watermarks-based mechanism. The client can describe the watermark metric (e.g., amount of free memory in the system), watermark check interval, and three watermarks, namely high, mid, and low. If the scheme is deactivated, it only gets the metric and compare that to the three watermarks for every check interval. If the metric is higher than the high watermark, the scheme is deactivated. If the metric is between the mid watermark and the low watermark, the scheme is activated. If the metric is lower than the low watermark, the scheme is deactivated again. This is to allow users fall back to traditional page-granularity mechanisms.

2021-11-06mm/damon/schemes: prioritize regions within the quotasSeongJae Park
This makes DAMON apply schemes to regions having higher priority first, if it cannot apply schemes to all regions due to the quotas. The prioritization function should be implemented in the monitoring primitives. Those would commonly calculate the priority of the region using attributes of regions, namely 'size', 'nr_accesses', and 'age'. For example, some primitive would calculate the priority of each region using a weighted sum of 'nr_accesses' and 'age' of the region. The optimal weights would depend on give environments, so this makes those customizable. Nevertheless, the score calculation functions are only encouraged to respect the weights, not mandated.

If DAMOS has stopped applying action in the middle of a group of memory regions due to its size quota, it starts the work again from the beginning of the address space in the next charge window. If there is a huge memory region at the beginning of the address space and it fulfills the scheme's target data access pattern always, the action will applied to only the region. This mitigates the case by skipping memory regions that charged in current charge window at the beginning of next charge window.

2021-11-06mm/damon/paddr: support the pageout schemeSeongJae Park
Introduction ============ This patchset 1) makes the engine for general data access pattern-oriented memory management (DAMOS) be more useful for production environments, and 2) implements a static kernel module for lightweight proactive reclamation using the engine. Proactive Reclamation --------------------- On general memory over-committed systems, proactively reclaiming cold pages helps saving memory and reducing latency spikes that incurred by the direct reclaim or the CPU consumption of kswapd, while incurring only minimal performance degradation[2]. A Free Pages Reporting[8] based memory over-commit virtualization system would be one more specific use case. In the system, the guest VMs reports their free memory to host, and the host reallocates the reported memory to other guests. As a result, the system's memory utilization can be maximized. However, the guests could be not so memory-frugal, because some kernel subsystems and user-space applications are designed to use as much memory as available. Then, guests would report only small amount of free memory to host, results in poor memory utilization. Running the proactive reclamation in such guests could help mitigating this problem. Google has also implemented this idea and using it in their data center. They further proposed upstreaming it in LSFMM'19, and "the general consensus was that, while this sort of proactive reclaim would be useful for a number of users, the cost of this particular solution was too high to consider merging it upstream"[3]. The cost mainly comes from the coldness tracking. Roughly speaking, the implementation periodically scans the 'Accessed' bit of each page. For the reason, the overhead linearly increases as the size of the memory and the scanning frequency grows. As a result, Google is known to dedicating one CPU for the work. That's a reasonable option to someone like Google, but it wouldn't be so to some others. DAMON and DAMOS: An engine for data access pattern-oriented memory management ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- DAMON[4] is a framework for general data access monitoring. Its adaptive monitoring overhead control feature minimizes its monitoring overhead. It also let the upper-bound of the overhead be configurable by clients, regardless of the size of the monitoring target memory. While monitoring 70 GiB memory of a production system every 5 milliseconds, it consumes less than 1% single CPU time. For this, it could sacrify some of the quality of the monitoring results. Nevertheless, the lower-bound of the quality is configurable, and it uses a best-effort algorithm for better quality. Our test results[5] show the quality is practical enough. From the production system monitoring, we were able to find a 4 KiB region in the 70 GiB memory that shows highest access frequency. We normally don't monitor the data access pattern just for fun but to improve something like memory management. Proactive reclamation is one such usage. For such general cases, DAMON provides a feature called DAMon-based Operation Schemes (DAMOS)[6]. It makes DAMON an engine for general data access pattern oriented memory management. Using this, clients can ask DAMON to find memory regions of specific data access pattern and apply some memory management action (e.g., page out, move to head of the LRU list, use huge page, ...). We call the request 'scheme'. Proactive Reclamation on top of DAMON/DAMOS ------------------------------------------- Therefore, by using DAMON for the cold pages detection, the proactive reclamation's monitoring overhead issue can be solved. Actually, we previously implemented a version of proactive reclamation using DAMOS and achieved noticeable improvements with our evaluation setup[5]. Nevertheless, it more for a proof-of-concept, rather than production uses. It supports only virtual address spaces of processes, and require additional tuning efforts for given workloads and the hardware. For the tuning, we introduced a simple auto-tuning user space tool[8]. Google is also known to using a ML-based similar approach for their fleets[2]. But, making it just works with intuitive knobs in the kernel would be helpful for general users. To this end, this patchset improves DAMOS to be ready for such production usages, and implements another version of the proactive reclamation, namely DAMON_RECLAIM, on top of it. DAMOS Improvements: Aggressiveness Control, Prioritization, and Watermarks -------------------------------------------------------------------------- First of all, the current version of DAMOS supports only virtual address spaces. This patchset makes it supports the physical address space for the page out action. Next major problem of the current version of DAMOS is the lack of the aggressiveness control, which can results in arbitrary overhead. For example, if huge memory regions having the data access pattern of interest are found, applying the requested action to all of the regions could incur significant overhead. It can be controlled by tuning the target data access pattern with manual or automated approaches[2,7]. But, some people would prefer the kernel to just work with only intuitive tuning or default values. For such cases, this patchset implements a safeguard, namely time/size quota. Using this, the clients can specify up to how much time can be used for applying the action, and/or up to how much memory regions the action can be applied within a user-specified time duration. A followup question is, to which memory regions should the action applied within the limits? We implement a simple regions prioritization mechanism for each action and make DAMOS to apply the action to high priority regions first. It also allows clients tune the prioritization mechanism to use different weights for size, access frequency, and age of memory regions. This means we could use not only LRU but also LFU or some fancy algorithms like CAR[9] with lightweight overhead. Though DAMON is lightweight, someone would want to remove even the cold pages monitoring overhead when it is unnecessary. Currently, it should manually turned on and off by clients, but some clients would simply want to turn it on and off based on some metrics like free memory ratio or memory fragmentation. For such cases, this patchset implements a watermarks-based automatic activation feature. It allows the clients configure the metric of their interest, and three watermarks of the metric. If the metric is higher than the high watermark or lower than the low watermark, the scheme is deactivated. If the metric is lower than the mid watermark but higher than the low watermark, the scheme is activated. DAMON-based Reclaim ------------------- Using the improved version of DAMOS, this patchset implements a static kernel module called 'damon_reclaim'. It finds memory regions that didn't accessed for specific time duration and page out. Consuming too much CPU for the paging out operations, or doing pageout too frequently can be critical for systems configuring their swap devices with software-defined in-memory block devices like zram/zswap or total number of writes limited devices like SSDs, respectively. To avoid the problems, the time/size quotas can be configured. Under the quotas, it pages out memory regions that didn't accessed longer first. Also, to remove the monitoring overhead under peaceful situation, and to fall back to the LRU-list based page granularity reclamation when it doesn't make progress, the three watermarks based activation mechanism is used, with the free memory ratio as the watermark metric. For convenient configurations, it provides several module parameters. Using these, sysadmins can enable/disable it, and tune its parameters including the coldness identification time threshold, the time/size quotas and the three watermarks. Evaluation ========== In short, DAMON_RECLAIM with 50ms/s time quota and regions prioritization on v5.15-rc5 Linux kernel with ZRAM swap device achieves 38.58% memory saving with only 1.94% runtime overhead. For this, DAMON_RECLAIM consumes only 4.97% of single CPU time. Setup ----- We evaluate DAMON_RECLAIM to show how each of the DAMOS improvements make effect. For this, we measure DAMON_RECLAIM's CPU consumption, entire system memory footprint, total number of major page faults, and runtime of 24 realistic workloads in PARSEC3 and SPLASH-2X benchmark suites on my QEMU/KVM based virtual machine. The virtual machine runs on an i3.metal AWS instance, has 130GiB memory, and runs a linux kernel built on latest -mm tree[1] plus this patchset. It also utilizes a 4 GiB ZRAM swap device. We repeats the measurement 5 times and use averages. [1] https://github.com/hnaz/linux-mm/tree/v5.15-rc5-mmots-2021-10-13-19-55 Detailed Results ---------------- The results are summarized in the below table. With coldness identification threshold of 5 seconds, DAMON_RECLAIM without the time quota-based speed limit achieves 47.21% memory saving, but incur 4.59% runtime slowdown to the workloads on average. For this, DAMON_RECLAIM consumes about 11.28% single CPU time. Applying time quotas of 200ms/s, 50ms/s, and 10ms/s without the regions prioritization reduces the slowdown to 4.89%, 2.65%, and 1.5%, respectively. Time quota of 200ms/s (20%) makes no real change compared to the quota unapplied version, because the quota unapplied version consumes only 11.28% CPU time. DAMON_RECLAIM's CPU utilization also similarly reduced: 11.24%, 5.51%, and 2.01% of single CPU time. That is, the overhead is proportional to the speed limit. Nevertheless, it also reduces the memory saving because it becomes less aggressive. In detail, the three variants show 48.76%, 37.83%, and 7.85% memory saving, respectively.

2021-11-06mm/damon/dbgfs: support physical memory monitoringSeongJae Park
This makes the 'damon-dbgfs' to support the physical memory monitoring, in addition to the virtual memory monitoring. Users can do the physical memory monitoring by writing a special keyword, 'paddr' to the 'target_ids' debugfs file. Then, DAMON will check the special keyword and configure the monitoring context to run with the primitives for the physical address space. Unlike the virtual memory monitoring, the monitoring target region will not be automatically set. Therefore, users should also set the monitoring target address region using the 'init_regions' debugfs file. Also, note that the physical memory monitoring will not automatically terminated. The user should explicitly turn off the monitoring by writing 'off' to the 'monitor_on' debugfs file.

This implements the monitoring primitives for the physical memory address space. Internally, it uses the PTE Accessed bit, similar to that of the virtual address spaces monitoring primitives. It supports only user memory pages, as idle pages tracking does. If the monitoring target physical memory address range contains non-user memory pages, access check of the pages will do nothing but simply treat the pages as not accessed.

2021-11-06mm/damon/dbgfs: allow users to set initial monitoring target regionsSeongJae Park
Patch series "DAMON: Support Physical Memory Address Space Monitoring:. DAMON currently supports only virtual address spaces monitoring. It can be easily extended for various use cases and address spaces by configuring its monitoring primitives layer to use appropriate primitives implementations, though. This patchset implements monitoring primitives for the physical address space monitoring using the structure. The first 3 patches allow the user space users manually set the monitoring regions. The 1st patch implements the feature in the 'damon-dbgfs'. Then, patches for adding a unit tests (the 2nd patch) and updating the documentation (the 3rd patch) follow. Following 4 patches implement the physical address space monitoring primitives. The 4th patch makes some primitive functions for the virtual address spaces primitives reusable. The 5th patch implements the physical address space monitoring primitives. The 6th patch links the primitives to the 'damon-dbgfs'. Finally, 7th patch documents this new features. This patch (of 7): Some 'damon-dbgfs' users would want to monitor only a part of the entire virtual memory address space. The program interface users in the kernel space could use '->before_start()' callback or set the regions inside the context struct as they want, but 'damon-dbgfs' users cannot. For that reason, this introduces a new debugfs file called 'init_region'. 'damon-dbgfs' users can specify which initial monitoring target address regions they want by writing special input to the file. The input should describe each region in each line in the below form: <pid> <start address> <end address> Note that the regions will be updated to cover entire memory mapped regions after a 'regions update interval' is passed. If you want the regions to not be updated after the initial setting, you could set the interval as a very long time, say, a few decades.

2021-11-06mm/damon/schemes: implement statistics featureSeongJae Park
To tune the DAMON-based operation schemes, knowing how many and how large regions are affected by each of the schemes will be helful. Those stats could be used for not only the tuning, but also monitoring of the working set size and the number of regions, if the scheme does not change the program behavior too much. For the reason, this implements the statistics for the schemes. The total number and size of the regions that each scheme is applied are exported to users via '->stat_count' and '->stat_sz' of 'struct damos'. Admins can also check the number by reading 'schemes' debugfs file. The last two integers now represents the stats. To allow collecting the stats without changing the program behavior, this also adds new scheme action, 'DAMOS_STAT'. Note that 'DAMOS_STAT' is not only making no memory operation actions, but also does not reset the age of regions.
