On some architectures like powerpc, there are huge pages that are mapped
at pte level.
Enable it in vmalloc.
For that, architectures can provide arch_vmap_pte_supported_shift() that
returns the shift for pages to map at pte level.

Patch series "mm: add vmalloc_no_huge and use it", v4.
Add vmalloc_no_huge() and export it, so modules can allocate memory with
small pages.
Use the newly added vmalloc_no_huge() in KVM on s390 to get around a
hardware limitation.
This patch (of 2):
Commit 121e6f3258fe3 ("mm/vmalloc: hugepage vmalloc mappings") added
support for hugepage vmalloc mappings, it also added the flag
VM_NO_HUGE_VMAP for __vmalloc_node_range to request the allocation to be
performed with 0-order non-huge pages.
This flag is not accessible when calling vmalloc, the only option is to
call directly __vmalloc_node_range, which is not exported.
This means that a module can't vmalloc memory with small pages.
Case in point: KVM on s390x needs to vmalloc a large area, and it needs
to be mapped with non-huge pages, because of a hardware limitation.
This patch adds the function vmalloc_no_huge, which works like vmalloc,
but it is guaranteed to always back the mapping using small pages. This
new function is exported, therefore it is usable by modules.

Patch series "drivers/char: remove /dev/kmem for good".
Exploring /dev/kmem and /dev/mem in the context of memory hot(un)plug and
memory ballooning, I started questioning the existence of /dev/kmem.
Comparing it with the /proc/kcore implementation, it does not seem to be
able to deal with things like
a) Pages unmapped from the direct mapping (e.g., to be used by secretmem)
-> kern_addr_valid(). virt_addr_valid() is not sufficient.
b) Special cases like gart aperture memory that is not to be touched
-> mem_pfn_is_ram()
Unless I am missing something, it's at least broken in some cases and might
fault/crash the machine.
Looks like its existence has been questioned before in 2005 and 2010 [1],
after ~11 additional years, it might make sense to revive the discussion.
CONFIG_DEVKMEM is only enabled in a single defconfig (on purpose or by
mistake?). All distributions disable it: in Ubuntu it has been disabled
for more than 10 years, in Debian since 2.6.31, in Fedora at least
starting with FC3, in RHEL starting with RHEL4, in SUSE starting from
15sp2, and OpenSUSE has it disabled as well.
1) /dev/kmem was popular for rootkits [2] before it got disabled
basically everywhere. Ubuntu documents [3] "There is no modern user of
/dev/kmem any more beyond attackers using it to load kernel rootkits.".
RHEL documents in a BZ [5] "it served no practical purpose other than to
serve as a potential security problem or to enable binary module drivers
to access structures/functions they shouldn't be touching"
2) /proc/kcore is a decent interface to have a controlled way to read
kernel memory for debugging puposes. (will need some extensions to
deal with memory offlining/unplug, memory ballooning, and poisoned
pages, though)
3) It might be useful for corner case debugging [1]. KDB/KGDB might be a
better fit, especially, to write random memory; harder to shoot
yourself into the foot.
4) "Kernel Memory Editor" [4] hasn't seen any updates since 2000 and seems
to be incompatible with 64bit [1]. For educational purposes,
/proc/kcore might be used to monitor value updates -- or older
kernels can be used.
5) It's broken on arm64, and therefore, completely disabled there.
Looks like it's essentially unused and has been replaced by better
suited interfaces for individual tasks (/proc/kcore, KDB/KGDB). Let's
just remove it.

Support huge page vmalloc mappings. Config option HAVE_ARCH_HUGE_VMALLOC
enables support on architectures that define HAVE_ARCH_HUGE_VMAP and
supports PMD sized vmap mappings.
vmalloc will attempt to allocate PMD-sized pages if allocating PMD size or
larger, and fall back to small pages if that was unsuccessful.
Architectures must ensure that any arch specific vmalloc allocations that
require PAGE_SIZE mappings (e.g., module allocations vs strict module rwx)
use the VM_NOHUGE flag to inhibit larger mappings.
This can result in more internal fragmentation and memory overhead for a
given allocation, an option nohugevmalloc is added to disable at boot.

This changes the awkward approach where architectures provide init
functions to determine which levels they can provide large mappings for,
to one where the arch is queried for each call.
This removes code and indirection, and allows constant-folding of dead
code for unsupported levels.
This also adds a prot argument to the arch query. This is unused
currently but could help with some architectures (e.g., some powerpc
processors can't map uncacheable memory with large pages).

The mem_dump_obj() functionality adds a few hundred bytes, which is a
small price to pay. Except on kernels built with CONFIG_PRINTK=n, in
which mem_dump_obj() messages will be suppressed. This commit therefore
makes mem_dump_obj() be a static inline empty function on kernels built
with CONFIG_PRINTK=n and excludes all of its support functions as well.
This avoids kernel bloat on systems that cannot use mem_dump_obj().

When VM_MAP_PUT_PAGES was added, it was defined with the same value as
VM_FLUSH_RESET_PERMS. This doesn't seem like it will cause any big
functional problems other than some excess flushing for VM_MAP_PUT_PAGES
allocations.
Redefine VM_MAP_PUT_PAGES to have its own value. Also, rearrange things
so flags are less likely to be missed in the future.

This commit adds vmalloc() support to mem_dump_obj(). Note that the
vmalloc_dump_obj() function combines the checking and dumping, in
contrast with the split between kmem_valid_obj() and kmem_dump_obj().
The reason for the difference is that the checking in the vmalloc()
case involves acquiring a global lock, and redundant acquisitions of
global locks should be avoided, even on not-so-fast paths.
Note that this change causes on-stack variables to be reported as
vmalloc() storage from kernel_clone() or similar, depending on the degree
of inlining that your compiler does. This is likely more helpful than
the earlier "non-paged (local) memory".

A current "lazy drain" model suffers from at least two issues.
First one is related to the unsorted list of vmap areas, thus in order to
identify the [min:max] range of areas to be drained, it requires a full
list scan. What is a time consuming if the list is too long.
Second one and as a next step is about merging all fragments with a free
space. What is also a time consuming because it has to iterate over
entire list which holds outstanding lazy areas.
See below the "preemptirqsoff" tracer that illustrates a high latency. It
is ~24676us. Our workloads like audio and video are effected by such long
latency:

To address those two issues we can redesign a purging of the outstanding
lazy areas. Instead of queuing vmap areas to the list, we replace it by
the separate rb-tree. In hat case an area is located in the tree/list in
ascending order. It will give us below advantages:
a) Outstanding vmap areas are merged creating bigger coalesced blocks,
thus it becomes less fragmented.
b) It is possible to calculate a flush range [min:max] without scanning
all elements. It is O(1) access time or complexity;
c) The final merge of areas with the rb-tree that represents a free
space is faster because of (a). As a result the lock contention is
also reduced.

remap_vmalloc_range() has had various issues with the bounds checks it
promises to perform ("This function checks that addr is a valid
vmalloc'ed area, and that it is big enough to cover the vma") over time,
e.g.:
- not detecting pgoff<<PAGE_SHIFT overflow
- not detecting (pgoff<<PAGE_SHIFT)+usize overflow
- not checking whether addr and addr+(pgoff<<PAGE_SHIFT) are the same
vmalloc allocation
- comparing a potentially wildly out-of-bounds pointer with the end of
the vmalloc region
In particular, since commit fc9702273e2e ("bpf: Add mmap() support for
BPF_MAP_TYPE_ARRAY"), unprivileged users can cause kernel null pointer
dereferences by calling mmap() on a BPF map with a size that is bigger
than the distance from the start of the BPF map to the end of the
address space.
This could theoretically be used as a kernel ASLR bypass, by using
whether mmap() with a given offset oopses or returns an error code to
perform a binary search over the possible address range.
To allow remap_vmalloc_range_partial() to verify that addr and
addr+(pgoff<<PAGE_SHIFT) are in the same vmalloc region, pass the offset
to remap_vmalloc_range_partial() instead of adding it to the pointer in
remap_vmalloc_range().
In remap_vmalloc_range_partial(), fix the check against
get_vm_area_size() by using size comparisons instead of pointer
comparisons, and add checks for pgoff.

__purge_vmap_area_lazy()") introduced a call to vmalloc_sync_all() in
the vunmap() code-path. While this change was necessary to maintain
correctness on x86-32-pae kernels, it also adds additional cycles for
architectures that don't need it.
Specifically on x86-64 with CONFIG_VMAP_STACK=y some people reported
severe performance regressions in micro-benchmarks because it now also
calls the x86-64 implementation of vmalloc_sync_all() on vunmap(). But
the vmalloc_sync_all() implementation on x86-64 is only needed for newly
created mappings.
To avoid the unnecessary work on x86-64 and to gain the performance
back, split up vmalloc_sync_all() into two functions:
* vmalloc_sync_mappings(), and
* vmalloc_sync_unmappings()
Most call-sites to vmalloc_sync_all() only care about new mappings being
synchronized. The only exception is the new call-site added in the
above mentioned commit.
Shile Zhang directed us to a report of an 80% regression in reaim
throughput.

<linux/vmalloc.h>
In the x86 MM code we'd like to untangle various types of historic
header dependency spaghetti, but for this we'd need to pass to
the generic vmalloc code various vmalloc related defines that
customarily come via the <asm/page.h> low level arch header.

Patch series "kasan: support backing vmalloc space with real shadow
memory", v11.
Currently, vmalloc space is backed by the early shadow page. This means
that kasan is incompatible with VMAP_STACK.
This series provides a mechanism to back vmalloc space with real,
dynamically allocated memory. I have only wired up x86, because that's
the only currently supported arch I can work with easily, but it's very
easy to wire up other architectures, and it appears that there is some
work-in-progress code to do this on arm64 and s390.
This has been discussed before in the context of VMAP_STACK:
- https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=202009
- https://lkml.org/lkml/2018/7/22/198
- https://lkml.org/lkml/2019/7/19/822
In terms of implementation details:
Most mappings in vmalloc space are small, requiring less than a full
page of shadow space. Allocating a full shadow page per mapping would
therefore be wasteful. Furthermore, to ensure that different mappings
use different shadow pages, mappings would have to be aligned to
KASAN_SHADOW_SCALE_SIZE * PAGE_SIZE.
Instead, share backing space across multiple mappings. Allocate a
backing page when a mapping in vmalloc space uses a particular page of
the shadow region. This page can be shared by other vmalloc mappings
later on.
We hook in to the vmap infrastructure to lazily clean up unused shadow
memory.
Testing with test_vmalloc.sh on an x86 VM with 2 vCPUs shows that:
- Turning on KASAN, inline instrumentation, without vmalloc, introuduces
a 4.1x-4.2x slowdown in vmalloc operations.
- Turning this on introduces the following slowdowns over KASAN:
* ~1.76x slower single-threaded (test_vmalloc.sh performance)
* ~2.18x slower when both cpus are performing operations
simultaneously (test_vmalloc.sh sequential_test_order=1)
This is unfortunate but given that this is a debug feature only, not the
end of the world. The benchmarks are also a stress-test for the vmalloc
subsystem: they're not indicative of an overall 2x slowdown!
This patch (of 4):
Hook into vmalloc and vmap, and dynamically allocate real shadow memory
to back the mappings.
Most mappings in vmalloc space are small, requiring less than a full
page of shadow space. Allocating a full shadow page per mapping would
therefore be wasteful. Furthermore, to ensure that different mappings
use different shadow pages, mappings would have to be aligned to
KASAN_SHADOW_SCALE_SIZE * PAGE_SIZE.
Instead, share backing space across multiple mappings. Allocate a
backing page when a mapping in vmalloc space uses a particular page of
the shadow region. This page can be shared by other vmalloc mappings
later on.
We hook in to the vmap infrastructure to lazily clean up unused shadow
memory.
To avoid the difficulties around swapping mappings around, this code
expects that the part of the shadow region that covers the vmalloc space
will not be covered by the early shadow page, but will be left unmapped.
This will require changes in arch-specific code.
This allows KASAN with VMAP_STACK, and may be helpful for architectures
that do not have a separate module space (e.g. powerpc64, which I am
currently working on). It also allows relaxing the module alignment
back to PAGE_SIZE.
Testing with test_vmalloc.sh on an x86 VM with 2 vCPUs shows that:
- Turning on KASAN, inline instrumentation, without vmalloc, introuduces
a 4.1x-4.2x slowdown in vmalloc operations.
- Turning this on introduces the following slowdowns over KASAN:
* ~1.76x slower single-threaded (test_vmalloc.sh performance)
* ~2.18x slower when both cpus are performing operations
simultaneously (test_vmalloc.sh sequential_test_order=3D1)
This is unfortunate but given that this is a debug feature only, not the
end of the world.

Add ability to memory-map contents of BPF array map. This is extremely useful
for working with BPF global data from userspace programs. It allows to avoid
typical bpf_map_{lookup,update}_elem operations, improving both performance
and usability.
There had to be special considerations for map freezing, to avoid having
writable memory view into a frozen map. To solve this issue, map freezing and
mmap-ing is happening under mutex now:
- if map is already frozen, no writable mapping is allowed;
- if map has writable memory mappings active (accounted in map->writecnt),
map freezing will keep failing with -EBUSY;
- once number of writable memory mappings drops to zero, map freezing can be
performed again.
Only non-per-CPU plain arrays are supported right now. Maps with spinlocks
can't be memory mapped either.
For BPF_F_MMAPABLE array, memory allocation has to be done through vmalloc()
to be mmap()'able. We also need to make sure that array data memory is
page-sized and page-aligned, so we over-allocate memory in such a way that
struct bpf_array is at the end of a single page of memory with array->value
being aligned with the start of the second page. On deallocation we need to
accomodate this memory arrangement to free vmalloc()'ed memory correctly.
One important consideration regarding how memory-mapping subsystem functions.
Memory-mapping subsystem provides few optional callbacks, among them open()
and close(). close() is called for each memory region that is unmapped, so
that users can decrease their reference counters and free up resources, if
necessary. open() is *almost* symmetrical: it's called for each memory region
that is being mapped, **except** the very first one. So bpf_map_mmap does
initial refcnt bump, while open() will do any extra ones after that. Thus
number of close() calls is equal to number of open() calls plus one more.

Objective
---------
The current implementation of struct vmap_area wasted space.
After applying this commit, sizeof(struct vmap_area) has been
reduced from 11 words to 8 words.
Description
-----------
1) Pack "subtree_max_size", "vm" and "purge_list". This is no problem
because
A) "subtree_max_size" is only used when vmap_area is in "free" tree
B) "vm" is only used when vmap_area is in "busy" tree
C) "purge_list" is only used when vmap_area is in vmap_purge_list
2) Eliminate "flags".
;Since only one flag VM_VM_AREA is being used, and the same thing can be
done by judging whether "vm" is NULL, then the "flags" can be eliminated.

The arm architecture had a VM_ARM_DMA_CONSISTENT flag to mark DMA
coherent remapping for a while. Lift this flag to common code so
that we can use it generically. We also check it in the only place
VM_USERMAP is directly check so that we can entirely replace that
flag as well (although I'm not even sure why we'd want to allow
remapping DMA appings, but I'd rather not change behavior).

Vmalloc() is getting more and more used these days (kernel stacks, bpf and
percpu allocator are new top users), and the total % of memory consumed by
vmalloc() can be pretty significant and changes dynamically.
/proc/meminfo is the best place to display this information: its top goal
is to show top consumers of the memory.
Since the VmallocUsed field in /proc/meminfo is not in use for quite a
long time (it has been defined to 0 by a5ad88ce8c7f ("mm: get rid of
'vmalloc_info' from /proc/meminfo")), let's reuse it for showing the
actual physical memory consumption of vmalloc().

Patch series "improve vmap allocation", v3.
Objective
---------
Please have a look for the description at:
https://lkml.org/lkml/2018/10/19/786
but let me also summarize it a bit here as well.
The current implementation has O(N) complexity. Requests with different
permissive parameters can lead to long allocation time. When i say
"long" i mean milliseconds.
Description
-----------
This approach organizes the KVA memory layout into free areas of the
1-ULONG_MAX range, i.e. an allocation is done over free areas lookups,
instead of finding a hole between two busy blocks. It allows to have
lower number of objects which represent the free space, therefore to have
less fragmented memory allocator. Because free blocks are always as large
as possible.
It uses the augment tree where all free areas are sorted in ascending
order of va->va_start address in pair with linked list that provides
O(1) access to prev/next elements.
Since the tree is augment, we also maintain the "subtree_max_size" of VA
that reflects a maximum available free block in its left or right
sub-tree. Knowing that, we can easily traversal toward the lowest (left
most path) free area.
Allocation: ~O(log(N)) complexity. It is sequential allocation method
therefore tends to maximize locality. The search is done until a first
suitable block is large enough to encompass the requested parameters.
Bigger areas are split.
I copy paste here the description of how the area is split, since i
described it in https://lkml.org/lkml/2018/10/19/786
<snip>
A free block can be split by three different ways. Their names are
FL_FIT_TYPE, LE_FIT_TYPE/RE_FIT_TYPE and NE_FIT_TYPE, i.e. they
correspond to how requested size and alignment fit to a free block.
FL_FIT_TYPE - in this case a free block is just removed from the free
list/tree because it fully fits. Comparing with current design there is
an extra work with rb-tree updating.
LE_FIT_TYPE/RE_FIT_TYPE - left/right edges fit. In this case what we do
is just cutting a free block. It is as fast as a current design. Most of
the vmalloc allocations just end up with this case, because the edge is
always aligned to 1.
NE_FIT_TYPE - Is much less common case. Basically it happens when
requested size and alignment does not fit left nor right edges, i.e. it
is between them. In this case during splitting we have to build a
remaining left free area and place it back to the free list/tree.
Comparing with current design there are two extra steps. First one is we
have to allocate a new vmap_area structure. Second one we have to insert
that remaining free block to the address sorted list/tree.
In order to optimize a first case there is a cache with free_vmap objects.
Instead of allocating from slab we just take an object from the cache and
reuse it.
Second one is pretty optimized. Since we know a start point in the tree
we do not do a search from the top. Instead a traversal begins from a
rb-tree node we split.
<snip>
De-allocation. ~O(log(N)) complexity. An area is not inserted straight
away to the tree/list, instead we identify the spot first, checking if it
can be merged around neighbors. The list provides O(1) access to
prev/next, so it is pretty fast to check it. Summarizing. If merged then
large coalesced areas are created, if not the area is just linked making
more fragments.
There is one more thing that i should mention here. After modification of
VA node, its subtree_max_size is updated if it was/is the biggest area in
its left or right sub-tree. Apart of that it can also be populated back
to upper levels to fix the tree. For more details please have a look at
the __augment_tree_propagate_from() function and the description.
Tests and stressing
-------------------
I use the "test_vmalloc.sh" test driver available under
"tools/testing/selftests/vm/" since 5.1-rc1 kernel. Just trigger "sudo
./test_vmalloc.sh" to find out how to deal with it.
Tested on different platforms including x86_64/i686/ARM64/x86_64_NUMA.
Regarding last one, i do not have any physical access to NUMA system,
therefore i emulated it. The time of stressing is days.
If you run the test driver in "stress mode", you also need the patch that
is in Andrew's tree but not in Linux 5.1-rc1. So, please apply it:
http://git.cmpxchg.org/cgit.cgi/linux-mmotm.git/commit/?id=e0cf7749bade6da318e98e934a24d8b62fab512c
After massive testing, i have not identified any problems like memory
leaks, crashes or kernel panics. I find it stable, but more testing would
be good.
Performance analysis
--------------------
I have used two systems to test. One is i5-3320M CPU @ 2.60GHz and
another is HiKey960(arm64) board. i5-3320M runs on 4.20 kernel, whereas
Hikey960 uses 4.15 kernel. I have both system which could run on 5.1-rc1
as well, but the results have not been ready by time i an writing this.
Currently it consist of 8 tests. There are three of them which correspond
to different types of splitting(to compare with default). We have 3
ones(see above). Another 5 do allocations in different conditions.
a) sudo ./test_vmalloc.sh performance
When the test driver is run in "performance" mode, it runs all available
tests pinned to first online CPU with sequential execution test order. We
do it in order to get stable and repeatable results. Take a look at time
difference in "long_busy_list_alloc_test". It is not surprising because
the worst case is O(N).

b) time sudo ./test_vmalloc.sh test_repeat_count=1
With this configuration, all tests are run on all available online CPUs.
Before running each CPU shuffles its tests execution order. It gives
random allocation behaviour. So it is rough comparison, but it puts in
the picture for sure.

I did not manage to complete this test on "default Hikey960" kernel
version. After 24 hours it was still running, therefore i had to cancel
it. That is why real/user/sys are "unknown".
This patch (of 3):
Currently an allocation of the new vmap area is done over busy list
iteration(complexity O(n)) until a suitable hole is found between two busy
areas. Therefore each new allocation causes the list being grown. Due to
over fragmented list and different permissive parameters an allocation can
take a long time. For example on embedded devices it is milliseconds.
This patch organizes the KVA memory layout into free areas of the
1-ULONG_MAX range. It uses an augment red-black tree that keeps blocks
sorted by their offsets in pair with linked list keeping the free space in
order of increasing addresses.
Nodes are augmented with the size of the maximum available free block in
its left or right sub-tree. Thus, that allows to take a decision and
traversal toward the block that will fit and will have the lowest start
address, i.e. it is sequential allocation.
Allocation: to allocate a new block a search is done over the tree until a
suitable lowest(left most) block is large enough to encompass: the
requested size, alignment and vstart point. If the block is bigger than
requested size - it is split.
De-allocation: when a busy vmap area is freed it can either be merged or
inserted to the tree. Red-black tree allows efficiently find a spot
whereas a linked list provides a constant-time access to previous and next
blocks to check if merging can be done. In case of merging of
de-allocated memory chunk a large coalesced area is created.
Complexity: ~O(log(N))

Add a new flag VM_FLUSH_RESET_PERMS, for enabling vfree operations to
immediately clear executable TLB entries before freeing pages, and handle
resetting permissions on the directmap. This flag is useful for any kind
of memory with elevated permissions, or where there can be related
permissions changes on the directmap. Today this is RO+X and RO memory.
Although this enables directly vfreeing non-writeable memory now,
non-writable memory cannot be freed in an interrupt because the allocation
itself is used as a node on deferred free list. So when RO memory needs to
be freed in an interrupt the code doing the vfree needs to have its own
work queue, as was the case before the deferred vfree list was added to
vmalloc.
For architectures with set_direct_map_ implementations this whole operation
can be done with one TLB flush when centralized like this. For others with
directmap permissions, currently only arm64, a backup method using
set_memory functions is used to reset the directmap. When arm64 adds
set_direct_map_ functions, this backup can be removed.
When the TLB is flushed to both remove TLB entries for the vmalloc range
mapping and the direct map permissions, the lazy purge operation could be
done to try to save a TLB flush later. However today vm_unmap_aliases
could flush a TLB range that does not include the directmap. So a helper
is added with extra parameters that can allow both the vmalloc address and
the direct mapping to be flushed during this operation. The behavior of the
normal vm_unmap_aliases function is unchanged.

Many source files in the tree are missing licensing information, which
makes it harder for compliance tools to determine the correct license.
By default all files without license information are under the default
license of the kernel, which is GPL version 2.
Update the files which contain no license information with the 'GPL-2.0'
SPDX license identifier. The SPDX identifier is a legally binding
shorthand, which can be used instead of the full boiler plate text.
This patch is based on work done by Thomas Gleixner and Kate Stewart and
Philippe Ombredanne.
How this work was done:
Patches were generated and checked against linux-4.14-rc6 for a subset of
the use cases:
- file had no licensing information it it.
- file was a */uapi/* one with no licensing information in it,
- file was a */uapi/* one with existing licensing information,
Further patches will be generated in subsequent months to fix up cases
where non-standard license headers were used, and references to license
had to be inferred by heuristics based on keywords.
The analysis to determine which SPDX License Identifier to be applied to
a file was done in a spreadsheet of side by side results from of the
output of two independent scanners (ScanCode & Windriver) producing SPDX
tag:value files created by Philippe Ombredanne. Philippe prepared the
base worksheet, and did an initial spot review of a few 1000 files.
The 4.13 kernel was the starting point of the analysis with 60,537 files
assessed. Kate Stewart did a file by file comparison of the scanner
results in the spreadsheet to determine which SPDX license identifier(s)
to be applied to the file. She confirmed any determination that was not
immediately clear with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.
Criteria used to select files for SPDX license identifier tagging was:
- Files considered eligible had to be source code files.
- Make and config files were included as candidates if they contained >5
lines of source
- File already had some variant of a license header in it (even if <5
lines).
All documentation files were explicitly excluded.
The following heuristics were used to determine which SPDX license
identifiers to apply.
- when both scanners couldn't find any license traces, file was
considered to have no license information in it, and the top level
COPYING file license applied.
For non */uapi/* files that summary was:
SPDX license identifier # files
---------------------------------------------------|-------
GPL-2.0 11139
and resulted in the first patch in this series.
If that file was a */uapi/* path one, it was "GPL-2.0 WITH
Linux-syscall-note" otherwise it was "GPL-2.0". Results of that was:
SPDX license identifier # files
---------------------------------------------------|-------
GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note 930
and resulted in the second patch in this series.
- if a file had some form of licensing information in it, and was one
of the */uapi/* ones, it was denoted with the Linux-syscall-note if
any GPL family license was found in the file or had no licensing in
it (per prior point). Results summary:
SPDX license identifier # files
---------------------------------------------------|------
GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note 270
GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 169
((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-2-Clause) 21
((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause) 17
LGPL-2.1+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 15
GPL-1.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 14
((GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause) 5
LGPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 4
LGPL-2.1 WITH Linux-syscall-note 3
((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR MIT) 3
((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) AND MIT) 1
and that resulted in the third patch in this series.
- when the two scanners agreed on the detected license(s), that became
the concluded license(s).
- when there was disagreement between the two scanners (one detected a
license but the other didn't, or they both detected different
licenses) a manual inspection of the file occurred.
- In most cases a manual inspection of the information in the file
resulted in a clear resolution of the license that should apply (and
which scanner probably needed to revisit its heuristics).
- When it was not immediately clear, the license identifier was
confirmed with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.
- If there was any question as to the appropriate license identifier,
the file was flagged for further research and to be revisited later
in time.
In total, over 70 hours of logged manual review was done on the
spreadsheet to determine the SPDX license identifiers to apply to the
source files by Kate, Philippe, Thomas and, in some cases, confirmation
by lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.
Kate also obtained a third independent scan of the 4.13 code base from
FOSSology, and compared selected files where the other two scanners
disagreed against that SPDX file, to see if there was new insights. The
Windriver scanner is based on an older version of FOSSology in part, so
they are related.
Thomas did random spot checks in about 500 files from the spreadsheets
for the uapi headers and agreed with SPDX license identifier in the
files he inspected. For the non-uapi files Thomas did random spot checks
in about 15000 files.
In initial set of patches against 4.14-rc6, 3 files were found to have
copy/paste license identifier errors, and have been fixed to reflect the
correct identifier.
Additionally Philippe spent 10 hours this week doing a detailed manual
inspection and review of the 12,461 patched files from the initial patch
version early this week with:
- a full scancode scan run, collecting the matched texts, detected
license ids and scores
- reviewing anything where there was a license detected (about 500+
files) to ensure that the applied SPDX license was correct
- reviewing anything where there was no detection but the patch license
was not GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note to ensure that the applied
SPDX license was correct
This produced a worksheet with 20 files needing minor correction. This
worksheet was then exported into 3 different .csv files for the
different types of files to be modified.
These .csv files were then reviewed by Greg. Thomas wrote a script to
parse the csv files and add the proper SPDX tag to the file, in the
format that the file expected. This script was further refined by Greg
based on the output to detect more types of files automatically and to
distinguish between header and source .c files (which need different
comment types.) Finally Greg ran the script using the .csv files to
generate the patches.

Commit 1f5307b1e094 ("mm, vmalloc: properly track vmalloc users") has
pulled asm/pgtable.h include dependency to linux/vmalloc.h and that
turned out to be a bad idea for some architectures. E.g. m68k fails

which is due to the newly added #include <asm/pgtable.h>, which on nios2
includes <linux/io.h> and thus <asm/io.h> and <asm-generic/io.h> which
again includes <linux/vmalloc.h>.
Tweaking that around just turns out a bigger headache than necessary.
This patch reverts 1f5307b1e094 and reimplements the original fix in a
different way. __vmalloc_node_flags can stay static inline which will
cover vmalloc* functions. We only have one external user
(kvmalloc_node) and we can export __vmalloc_node_flags_caller and
provide the caller directly. This is much simpler and it doesn't really
need any games with header files.

__vmalloc_node_flags used to be static inline but this has changed by
"mm: introduce kv[mz]alloc helpers" because kvmalloc_node needs to use
it as well and the code is outside of the vmalloc proper. I haven't
realized that changing this will lead to a subtle bug though. The
function is responsible to track the caller as well. This caller is
then printed by /proc/vmallocinfo. If __vmalloc_node_flags is not
inline then we would get only direct users of __vmalloc_node_flags as
callers (e.g. v[mz]alloc) which reduces usefulness of this debugging
feature considerably. It simply doesn't help to see that the given
range belongs to vmalloc as a caller:
0xffffc90002c79000-0xffffc90002c7d000 16384 vmalloc+0x16/0x18 pages=3 vmalloc N0=3
0xffffc90002c81000-0xffffc90002c85000 16384 vmalloc+0x16/0x18 pages=3 vmalloc N1=3
0xffffc90002c8d000-0xffffc90002c91000 16384 vmalloc+0x16/0x18 pages=3 vmalloc N1=3
0xffffc90002c95000-0xffffc90002c99000 16384 vmalloc+0x16/0x18 pages=3 vmalloc N1=3
We really want to catch the _caller_ of the vmalloc function. Fix this
issue by making __vmalloc_node_flags static inline again.

Patch series "kvmalloc", v5.
There are many open coded kmalloc with vmalloc fallback instances in the
tree. Most of them are not careful enough or simply do not care about
the underlying semantic of the kmalloc/page allocator which means that
a) some vmalloc fallbacks are basically unreachable because the kmalloc
part will keep retrying until it succeeds b) the page allocator can
invoke a really disruptive steps like the OOM killer to move forward
which doesn't sound appropriate when we consider that the vmalloc
fallback is available.
As it can be seen implementing kvmalloc requires quite an intimate
knowledge if the page allocator and the memory reclaim internals which
strongly suggests that a helper should be implemented in the memory
subsystem proper.
Most callers, I could find, have been converted to use the helper
instead. This is patch 6. There are some more relying on __GFP_REPEAT
in the networking stack which I have converted as well and Eric Dumazet
was not opposed [2] to convert them as well.
[1] http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20170130094940.13546-1-mhocko@kernel.org
[2] http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1485273626.16328.301.camel@edumazet-glaptop3.roam.corp.google.com
This patch (of 9):
Using kmalloc with the vmalloc fallback for larger allocations is a
common pattern in the kernel code. Yet we do not have any common helper
for that and so users have invented their own helpers. Some of them are
really creative when doing so. Let's just add kv[mz]alloc and make sure
it is implemented properly. This implementation makes sure to not make
a large memory pressure for > PAGE_SZE requests (__GFP_NORETRY) and also
to not warn about allocation failures. This also rules out the OOM
killer as the vmalloc is a more approapriate fallback than a disruptive
user visible action.
This patch also changes some existing users and removes helpers which
are specific for them. In some cases this is not possible (e.g.
ext4_kvmalloc, libcfs_kvzalloc) because those seems to be broken and
require GFP_NO{FS,IO} context which is not vmalloc compatible in general
(note that the page table allocation is GFP_KERNEL). Those need to be
fixed separately.
While we are at it, document that __vmalloc{_node} about unsupported gfp
mask because there seems to be a lot of confusion out there.
kvmalloc_node will warn about GFP_KERNEL incompatible (which are not
superset) flags to catch new abusers. Existing ones would have to die
slowly.

We are going to use sleeping lock for freeing vmap. However some
vfree() users want to free memory from atomic (but not from interrupt)
context. For this we add vfree_atomic() - deferred variation of vfree()
which can be used in any atomic context (except NMIs).

When mixing lots of vmallocs and set_memory_*() (which calls
vm_unmap_aliases()) I encountered situations where the performance
degraded severely due to the walking of the entire vmap_area list each
invocation.
One simple improvement is to add the lazily freed vmap_area to a
separate lockless free list, such that we then avoid having to walk the
full list on each purge.

vmaps are temporary kernel mappings that may be of long duration.
Reusing a vmap on an object is preferrable for a driver as the cost of
setting up the vmap can otherwise dominate the operation on the object.
However, the vmap address space is rather limited on 32bit systems and
so we add a notification for vmap pressure in order for the driver to
release any cached vmappings.
The interface is styled after the oom-notifier where the callees are
passed a pointer to an unsigned long counter for them to indicate if they
have freed any space.
