2019-09-24mm: move memcmp_pages() and pages_identical()Song Liu
Patch series "THP aware uprobe", v13. This patchset makes uprobe aware of THPs. Currently, when uprobe is attached to text on THP, the page is split by FOLL_SPLIT. As a result, uprobe eliminates the performance benefit of THP. This set makes uprobe THP-aware. Instead of FOLL_SPLIT, we introduces FOLL_SPLIT_PMD, which only split PMD for uprobe. After all uprobes within the THP are removed, the PTE-mapped pages are regrouped as huge PMD. This set (plus a few THP patches) is also available at https://github.com/liu-song-6/linux/tree/uprobe-thp This patch (of 6): Move memcmp_pages() to mm/util.c and pages_identical() to mm.h, so that we can use them in other files.

2019-05-14mm/mmu_notifier: contextual information for event triggering invalidationJérôme Glisse
CPU page table update can happens for many reasons, not only as a result of a syscall (munmap(), mprotect(), mremap(), madvise(), ...) but also as a result of kernel activities (memory compression, reclaim, migration, ...). Users of mmu notifier API track changes to the CPU page table and take specific action for them. While current API only provide range of virtual address affected by the change, not why the changes is happening. This patchset do the initial mechanical convertion of all the places that calls mmu_notifier_range_init to also provide the default MMU_NOTIFY_UNMAP event as well as the vma if it is know (most invalidation happens against a given vma). Passing down the vma allows the users of mmu notifier to inspect the new vma page protection. The MMU_NOTIFY_UNMAP is always the safe default as users of mmu notifier should assume that every for the range is going away when that event happens. A latter patch do convert mm call path to use a more appropriate events for each call. This is done as 2 patches so that no call site is forgotten especialy as it uses this following coccinelle patch: %<---------------------------------------------------------------------- @@ identifier I1, I2, I3, I4; @@ static inline void mmu_notifier_range_init(struct mmu_notifier_range *I1, +enum mmu_notifier_event event, +unsigned flags, +struct vm_area_struct *vma, struct mm_struct *I2, unsigned long I3, unsigned long I4) { ... } @@ @@ -#define mmu_notifier_range_init(range, mm, start, end) +#define mmu_notifier_range_init(range, event, flags, vma, mm, start, end) @@ expression E1, E3, E4; identifier I1; @@ <... mmu_notifier_range_init(E1, +MMU_NOTIFY_UNMAP, 0, I1, I1->vm_mm, E3, E4) ...> @@ expression E1, E2, E3, E4; identifier FN, VMA; @@ FN(..., struct vm_area_struct *VMA, ...) { <... mmu_notifier_range_init(E1, +MMU_NOTIFY_UNMAP, 0, VMA, E2, E3, E4) ...> } @@ expression E1, E2, E3, E4; identifier FN, VMA; @@ FN(...) { struct vm_area_struct *VMA; <... mmu_notifier_range_init(E1, +MMU_NOTIFY_UNMAP, 0, VMA, E2, E3, E4) ...> } @@ expression E1, E2, E3, E4; identifier FN; @@ FN(...) { <... mmu_notifier_range_init(E1, +MMU_NOTIFY_UNMAP, 0, NULL, E2, E3, E4) ...> } ---------------------------------------------------------------------->% Applied with: spatch --all-includes --sp-file mmu-notifier.spatch fs/proc/task_mmu.c --in-place spatch --sp-file mmu-notifier.spatch --dir kernel/events/ --in-place spatch --sp-file mmu-notifier.spatch --dir mm --in-place Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20190326164747.24405-6-jglisse@redhat.com Signed-off-by: Jérôme Glisse <jglisse@redhat.com> Reviewed-by: Ralph Campbell <rcampbell@nvidia.com> Reviewed-by: Ira Weiny <ira.weiny@intel.com> Cc: Christian König <christian.koenig@amd.com> Cc: Joonas Lahtinen <joonas.lahtinen@linux.intel.com> Cc: Jani Nikula <jani.nikula@linux.intel.com> Cc: Rodrigo Vivi <rodrigo.vivi@intel.com> Cc: Jan Kara <jack@suse.cz> Cc: Andrea Arcangeli <aarcange@redhat.com> Cc: Peter Xu <peterx@redhat.com> Cc: Felix Kuehling <Felix.Kuehling@amd.com> Cc: Jason Gunthorpe <jgg@mellanox.com> Cc: Ross Zwisler <zwisler@kernel.org> Cc: Dan Williams <dan.j.williams@intel.com> Cc: Paolo Bonzini <pbonzini@redhat.com> Cc: Radim Krcmar <rkrcmar@redhat.com> Cc: Michal Hocko <mhocko@kernel.org> Cc: Christian Koenig <christian.koenig@amd.com> Cc: John Hubbard <jhubbard@nvidia.com> Cc: Arnd Bergmann <arnd@arndb.de> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
2019-03-05mm: ksm: do not block on page lock when searching stable treeYang Shi
ksmd needs to search the stable tree to look for the suitable KSM page, but the KSM page might be locked for a while due to i.e. KSM page rmap walk. Basically it is not a big deal since commit 2c653d0ee2ae ("ksm: introduce ksm_max_page_sharing per page deduplication limit"), since max_page_sharing limits the number of shared KSM pages. But it still sounds not worth waiting for the lock, the page can be skip, then try to merge it in the next scan to avoid potential stall if its content is still intact. Introduce trylock mode to get_ksm_page() to not block on page lock, like what try_to_merge_one_page() does. And, define three possible operations (nolock, lock and trylock) as enum type to avoid stacking up bools and make the code more readable. Return -EBUSY if trylock fails, since NULL means not find suitable KSM page, which is a valid case. With the default max_page_sharing setting (256), there is almost no observed change comparing lock vs trylock. However, with ksm02 of LTP, the reduced ksmd full scan time can be observed, which has set max_page_sharing to 786432. With lock version, ksmd may tak 10s - 11s to run two full scans, with trylock version ksmd may take 8s - 11s to run two full scans. And, the number of pages_sharing and pages_to_scan keep same. Basically, this change has no harm.

2019-03-05mm: reuse only-pte-mapped KSM page in do_wp_page()Kirill Tkhai
Add an optimization for KSM pages almost in the same way that we have for ordinary anonymous pages. If there is a write fault in a page, which is mapped to an only pte, and it is not related to swap cache; the page may be reused without copying its content. [ Note that we do not consider PageSwapCache() pages at least for now, since we don't want to complicate __get_ksm_page(), which has nice optimization based on this (for the migration case). Currenly it is spinning on PageSwapCache() pages, waiting for when they have unfreezed counters (i.e., for the migration finish). But we don't want to make it also spinning on swap cache pages, which we try to reuse, since there is not a very high probability to reuse them. So, for now we do not consider PageSwapCache() pages at all. ] So in reuse_ksm_page() we check for 1) PageSwapCache() and 2) page_stable_node(), to skip a page, which KSM is currently trying to link to stable tree. Then we do page_ref_freeze() to prohibit KSM to merge one more page into the page, we are reusing. After that, nobody can refer to the reusing page: KSM skips !PageSwapCache() pages with zero refcount; and the protection against of all other participants is the same as for reused ordinary anon pages pte lock, page lock and mmap_sem.

2019-03-05mm: replace all open encodings for NUMA_NO_NODEAnshuman Khandual
Patch series "Replace all open encodings for NUMA_NO_NODE", v3. All these places for replacement were found by running the following grep patterns on the entire kernel code. Please let me know if this might have missed some instances. This might also have replaced some false positives. I will appreciate suggestions, inputs and review. 1. git grep "nid == -1" 2. git grep "node == -1" 3. git grep "nid = -1" 4. git grep "node = -1" This patch (of 2): At present there are multiple places where invalid node number is encoded as -1. Even though implicitly understood it is always better to have macros in there. Replace these open encodings for an invalid node number with the global macro NUMA_NO_NODE. This helps remove NUMA related assumptions like 'invalid node' from various places redirecting them to a common definition.

2018-12-28ksm: react on changing "sleep_millisecs" parameter fasterKirill Tkhai
ksm thread unconditionally sleeps in ksm_scan_thread() after each iteration: schedule_timeout_interruptible( msecs_to_jiffies(ksm_thread_sleep_millisecs)) The timeout is configured in /sys/kernel/mm/ksm/sleep_millisecs. In case of user writes a big value by a mistake, and the thread enters into schedule_timeout_interruptible(), it's not possible to cancel the sleep by writing a new smaler value; the thread is just sleeping till timeout expires. The patch fixes the problem by waking the thread each time after the value is updated. This also may be useful for debug purposes; and also for userspace daemons, which change sleep_millisecs value in dependence of system load.

2018-08-22include/linux/compiler*.h: make compiler-*.h mutually exclusiveNick Desaulniers
Commit cafa0010cd51 ("Raise the minimum required gcc version to 4.6") recently exposed a brittle part of the build for supporting non-gcc compilers. Both Clang and ICC define __GNUC__, __GNUC_MINOR__, and __GNUC_PATCHLEVEL__ for quick compatibility with code bases that haven't added compiler specific checks for __clang__ or __INTEL_COMPILER. This is brittle, as they happened to get compatibility by posing as a certain version of GCC. This broke when upgrading the minimal version of GCC required to build the kernel, to a version above what ICC and Clang claim to be. Rather than always including compiler-gcc.h then undefining or redefining macros in compiler-intel.h or compiler-clang.h, let's separate out the compiler specific macro definitions into mutually exclusive headers, do more proper compiler detection, and keep shared definitions in compiler_types.h.

The get_user_pages_fast() path, since it does not resolve the vma, is already using {pte,pmd}_devmap() as a stand-in for VM_MIXEDMAP, so we use that as a VM_MIXEDMAP replacement in some locations. In the cases where there is no pte to consult we fallback to using vma_is_dax() to detect the VM_MIXEDMAP special case. Now that we have explicit driver pfn_t-flag opt-in/opt-out for get_user_pages() support for DAX we can stop setting VM_MIXEDMAP. This also means we no longer need to worry about safely manipulating vm_flags in a future where we support dynamically changing the dax mode of a file. DAX should also now be supported with madvise_behavior(), vma_merge(), and copy_page_range(). This patch has been tested against ndctl unit test. It has also been tested against xfstests commit: 625515d using fake pmem created by memmap and no additional issues have been observed.

2018-06-15mm/ksm.c: ignore STABLE_FLAG of rmap_item->address in rmap_walk_ksm()Jia He
In our armv8a server(QDF2400), I noticed lots of WARN_ON caused by PAGE_SIZE unaligned for rmap_item->address under memory pressure tests(start 20 guests and run memhog in the host). WARNING: CPU: 4 PID: 4641 at virt/kvm/arm/mmu.c:1826 kvm_age_hva_handler+0xc0/0xc8 CPU: 4 PID: 4641 Comm: memhog Tainted: G W 4.17.0-rc3+ #8 Call trace: kvm_age_hva_handler+0xc0/0xc8 handle_hva_to_gpa+0xa8/0xe0 kvm_age_hva+0x4c/0xe8 kvm_mmu_notifier_clear_flush_young+0x54/0x98 __mmu_notifier_clear_flush_young+0x6c/0xa0 page_referenced_one+0x154/0x1d8 rmap_walk_ksm+0x12c/0x1d0 rmap_walk+0x94/0xa0 page_referenced+0x194/0x1b0 shrink_page_list+0x674/0xc28 shrink_inactive_list+0x26c/0x5b8 shrink_node_memcg+0x35c/0x620 shrink_node+0x100/0x430 do_try_to_free_pages+0xe0/0x3a8 try_to_free_pages+0xe4/0x230 __alloc_pages_nodemask+0x564/0xdc0 alloc_pages_vma+0x90/0x228 do_anonymous_page+0xc8/0x4d0 __handle_mm_fault+0x4a0/0x508 handle_mm_fault+0xf8/0x1b0 do_page_fault+0x218/0x4b8 do_translation_fault+0x90/0xa0 do_mem_abort+0x68/0xf0 el0_da+0x24/0x28 In rmap_walk_ksm, the rmap_item->address might still have the STABLE_FLAG, then the start and end in handle_hva_to_gpa might not be PAGE_SIZE aligned. Thus it will cause exceptions in handle_hva_to_gpa on arm64. This patch fixes it by ignoring (not removing) the low bits of address when doing rmap_walk_ksm. IMO, it should be backported to stable tree. the storm of WARN_ONs is very easy for me to reproduce. More than that, I watched a panic (not reproducible) as follows: page:ffff7fe003742d80 count:-4871 mapcount:-2126053375 mapping: (null) index:0x0 flags: 0x1fffc00000000000() raw: 1fffc00000000000 0000000000000000 0000000000000000 ffffecf981470000 raw: dead000000000100 dead000000000200 ffff8017c001c000 0000000000000000 page dumped because: nonzero _refcount CPU: 29 PID: 18323 Comm: qemu-kvm Tainted: G W 4.14.15-5.hxt.aarch64 #1 Hardware name: <snip for confidential issues> Call trace: dump_backtrace+0x0/0x22c show_stack+0x24/0x2c dump_stack+0x8c/0xb0 bad_page+0xf4/0x154 free_pages_check_bad+0x90/0x9c free_pcppages_bulk+0x464/0x518 free_hot_cold_page+0x22c/0x300 __put_page+0x54/0x60 unmap_stage2_range+0x170/0x2b4 kvm_unmap_hva_handler+0x30/0x40 handle_hva_to_gpa+0xb0/0xec kvm_unmap_hva_range+0x5c/0xd0 I even injected a fault on purpose in kvm_unmap_hva_range by seting size=size-0x200, the call trace is similar as above. So I thought the panic is similarly caused by the root cause of WARN_ON. Andrea said: : It looks a straightforward safe fix, on x86 hva_to_gfn_memslot would : zap those bits and hide the misalignment caused by the low metadata : bits being erroneously left set in the address, but the arm code : notices when that's the last page in the memslot and the hva_end is : getting aligned and the size is below one page. : : I think the problem triggers in the addr += PAGE_SIZE of : unmap_stage2_ptes that never matches end because end is aligned but : addr is not. : : } while (pte++, addr += PAGE_SIZE, addr != end); : : x86 again only works on hva_start/hva_end after converting it to : gfn_start/end and that being in pfn units the bits are zapped before : they risk to cause trouble.

2018-04-05mm/ksm: fix interaction with THPClaudio Imbrenda
This patch fixes a corner case for KSM. When two pages belong or belonged to the same transparent hugepage, and they should be merged, KSM fails to split the page, and therefore no merging happens. This bug can be reproduced by: * making sure ksm is running (in case disabling ksmtuned) * enabling transparent hugepages * allocating a THP-aligned 1-THP-sized buffer e.g. on amd64: posix_memalign(&p, 1<<21, 1<<21) * filling it with the same values e.g. memset(p, 42, 1<<21) * performing madvise to make it mergeable e.g. madvise(p, 1<<21, MADV_MERGEABLE) * waiting for KSM to perform a few scans The expected outcome is that the all the pages get merged (1 shared and the rest sharing); the actual outcome is that no pages get merged (1 unshared and the rest volatile) The reason of this behaviour is that we increase the reference count once for both pages we want to merge, but if they belong to the same hugepage (or compound page), the reference counter used in both cases is the one of the head of the compound page. This means that split_huge_page will find a value of the reference counter too high and will fail. This patch solves this problem by testing if the two pages to merge belong to the same hugepage when attempting to merge them. If so, the hugepage is split safely. This means that the hugepage is not split if not necessary.

2018-03-18sparc64: Add support for ADI (Application Data Integrity)Khalid Aziz
ADI is a new feature supported on SPARC M7 and newer processors to allow hardware to catch rogue accesses to memory. ADI is supported for data fetches only and not instruction fetches. An app can enable ADI on its data pages, set version tags on them and use versioned addresses to access the data pages. Upper bits of the address contain the version tag. On M7 processors, upper four bits (bits 63-60) contain the version tag. If a rogue app attempts to access ADI enabled data pages, its access is blocked and processor generates an exception. Please see Documentation/sparc/adi.txt for further details. This patch extends mprotect to enable ADI (TSTATE.mcde), enable/disable MCD (Memory Corruption Detection) on selected memory ranges, enable TTE.mcd in PTEs, return ADI parameters to userspace and save/restore ADI version tags on page swap out/in or migration. ADI is not enabled by default for any task. A task must explicitly enable ADI on a memory range and set version tag for ADI to be effective for the task.

2017-11-15mm/mmu_notifier: avoid double notification when it is uselessJérôme Glisse
This patch only affects users of mmu_notifier->invalidate_range callback which are device drivers related to ATS/PASID, CAPI, IOMMUv2, SVM ... and it is an optimization for those users. Everyone else is unaffected by it. When clearing a pte/pmd we are given a choice to notify the event under the page table lock (notify version of *_clear_flush helpers do call the mmu_notifier_invalidate_range). But that notification is not necessary in all cases. This patch removes almost all cases where it is useless to have a call to mmu_notifier_invalidate_range before mmu_notifier_invalidate_range_end. It also adds documentation in all those cases explaining why. Below is a more in depth analysis of why this is fine to do this: For secondary TLB (non CPU TLB) like IOMMU TLB or device TLB (when device use thing like ATS/PASID to get the IOMMU to walk the CPU page table to access a process virtual address space). There is only 2 cases when you need to notify those secondary TLB while holding page table lock when clearing a pte/pmd: A) page backing address is free before mmu_notifier_invalidate_range_end B) a page table entry is updated to point to a new page (COW, write fault on zero page, __replace_page(), ...) Case A is obvious you do not want to take the risk for the device to write to a page that might now be used by something completely different. Case B is more subtle. For correctness it requires the following sequence to happen: - take page table lock - clear page table entry and notify (pmd/pte_huge_clear_flush_notify()) - set page table entry to point to new page If clearing the page table entry is not followed by a notify before setting the new pte/pmd value then you can break memory model like C11 or C++11 for the device. Consider the following scenario (device use a feature similar to ATS/ PASID): Two address addrA and addrB such that |addrA - addrB| >= PAGE_SIZE we assume they are write protected for COW (other case of B apply too). [Time N] ----------------------------------------------------------------- CPU-thread-0 {try to write to addrA} CPU-thread-1 {try to write to addrB} CPU-thread-2 {} CPU-thread-3 {} DEV-thread-0 {read addrA and populate device TLB} DEV-thread-2 {read addrB and populate device TLB} [Time N+1] --------------------------------------------------------------- CPU-thread-0 {COW_step0: {mmu_notifier_invalidate_range_start(addrA)}} CPU-thread-1 {COW_step0: {mmu_notifier_invalidate_range_start(addrB)}} CPU-thread-2 {} CPU-thread-3 {} DEV-thread-0 {} DEV-thread-2 {} [Time N+2] --------------------------------------------------------------- CPU-thread-0 {COW_step1: {update page table point to new page for addrA}} CPU-thread-1 {COW_step1: {update page table point to new page for addrB}} CPU-thread-2 {} CPU-thread-3 {} DEV-thread-0 {} DEV-thread-2 {} [Time N+3] --------------------------------------------------------------- CPU-thread-0 {preempted} CPU-thread-1 {preempted} CPU-thread-2 {write to addrA which is a write to new page} CPU-thread-3 {} DEV-thread-0 {} DEV-thread-2 {} [Time N+3] --------------------------------------------------------------- CPU-thread-0 {preempted} CPU-thread-1 {preempted} CPU-thread-2 {} CPU-thread-3 {write to addrB which is a write to new page} DEV-thread-0 {} DEV-thread-2 {} [Time N+4] --------------------------------------------------------------- CPU-thread-0 {preempted} CPU-thread-1 {COW_step3: {mmu_notifier_invalidate_range_end(addrB)}} CPU-thread-2 {} CPU-thread-3 {} DEV-thread-0 {} DEV-thread-2 {} [Time N+5] --------------------------------------------------------------- CPU-thread-0 {preempted} CPU-thread-1 {} CPU-thread-2 {} CPU-thread-3 {} DEV-thread-0 {read addrA from old page} DEV-thread-2 {read addrB from new page} So here because at time N+2 the clear page table entry was not pair with a notification to invalidate the secondary TLB, the device see the new value for addrB before seing the new value for addrA. This break total memory ordering for the device. When changing a pte to write protect or to point to a new write protected page with same content (KSM) it is ok to delay invalidate_range callback to mmu_notifier_invalidate_range_end() outside the page table lock. This is true even if the thread doing page table update is preempted right after releasing page table lock before calling mmu_notifier_invalidate_range_end Thanks to Andrea for thinking of a problematic scenario for COW.

2017-08-10mm: fix KSM data corruptionMinchan Kim
Nadav reported KSM can corrupt the user data by the TLB batching race[1]. That means data user written can be lost. Quote from Nadav Amit: "For this race we need 4 CPUs: CPU0: Caches a writable and dirty PTE entry, and uses the stale value for write later. CPU1: Runs madvise_free on the range that includes the PTE. It would clear the dirty-bit. It batches TLB flushes. CPU2: Writes 4 to /proc/PID/clear_refs , clearing the PTEs soft-dirty. We care about the fact that it clears the PTE write-bit, and of course, batches TLB flushes. CPU3: Runs KSM. Our purpose is to pass the following test in write_protect_page(): if (pte_write(*pvmw.pte) || pte_dirty(*pvmw.pte) || (pte_protnone(*pvmw.pte) && pte_savedwrite(*pvmw.pte))) Since it will avoid TLB flush. And we want to do it while the PTE is stale. Later, and before replacing the page, we would be able to change the page. Note that all the operations the CPU1-3 perform canhappen in parallel since they only acquire mmap_sem for read. We start with two identical pages. Everything below regards the same page/PTE. CPU0 CPU1 CPU2 CPU3 ---- ---- ---- ---- Write the same value on page [cache PTE as dirty in TLB] MADV_FREE pte_mkclean() 4 > clear_refs pte_wrprotect() write_protect_page() [ success, no flush ] pages_indentical() [ ok ] Write to page different value [Ok, using stale PTE] replace_page() Later, CPU1, CPU2 and CPU3 would flush the TLB, but that is too late. CPU0 already wrote on the page, but KSM ignored this write, and it got lost" In above scenario, MADV_FREE is fixed by changing TLB batching API including [set|clear]_tlb_flush_pending. Remained thing is soft-dirty part. This patch changes soft-dirty uses TLB batching API instead of flush_tlb_mm and KSM checks pending TLB flush by using mm_tlb_flush_pending so that it will flush TLB to avoid data lost if there are other parallel threads pending TLB flush.

2017-07-06ksm: optimize refile of stable_node_dup at the head of the chainAndrea Arcangeli
If a candidate stable_node_dup has been found and it can accept further merges it can be refiled to the head of the list to speedup next searches without altering which dup is found and how the dups accumulate in the chain. We already refiled it back to the head in the prune_stale_stable_nodes case, but we didn't refile it if not pruning (which is more common). And we also refiled it when it was already at the head which is unnecessary (in the prune_stale_stable_nodes case, nr > 1 means there's more than one dup in the chain, it doesn't mean it's not already at the head of the chain). The stable_node_chain list is single threaded and there's no SMP locking contention so it should be faster to refile it to the head of the list also if prune_stale_stable_nodes is false. Profiling shows the refile happens 1.9% of the time when a dup is found with a max_page_sharing limit setting of 3 (with max_page_sharing of 2 the refile never happens of course as there's never space for one more merge) which is reasonably low. At higher max_page_sharing values it should be much less frequent. This is just an optimization.

2017-07-06ksm: swap the two output parameters of chain/chain_pruneAndrea Arcangeli
Some static checker complains if chain/chain_prune returns a potentially stale pointer. There are two output parameters to chain/chain_prune, one is tree_page the other is stable_node_dup. Like in get_ksm_page the caller has to check tree_page is NULL before touching the stable_node. Similarly in chain/chain_prune the caller has to check tree_page before touching the stable_node_dup returned or the original stable_node passed as parameter. Because the tree_page is never returned as a stale pointer, it may be more intuitive to return tree_page and to pass stable_node_dup for reference instead of the reverse. This patch purely swaps the two output parameters of chain/chain_prune as a cleanup for the static checker and to mimic the get_ksm_page behavior more closely. There's no change to the caller at all except the swap, it's purely a cleanup and it is a noop from the caller point of view.

2017-07-06ksm: cleanup stable_node chain collapse caseAndrea Arcangeli
Patch series "KSMscale cleanup/optimizations". There are no fixes here it's just minor cleanups and optimizations. 1/3 removes makes the "fix" for the stale stable_node fall in the standard case without introducing new cases. Setting stable_node to NULL was marginally safer, but stale pointer is still wiped from the caller, this looks cleaner. 2/3 should fix the false positive from Dan's static checker. 3/3 is a microoptimization to apply the the refile of future merge candidate dups at the head of the chain in all cases and to skip it in one case where we did it and but it was a noop (to avoid checking if it was already at the head but now we've to check it anyway so it got optimized away). This patch (of 3): When the stable_node chain is collapsed we can as well set the caller stable_node to match the returned stable_node_dup in chain_prune(). This way the collapse case becomes indistinguishable from the regular stable_node case and we can remove two branches from the KSM page migration handling slow paths. While it was all correct this looks cleaner (and faster) as the caller has to deal with fewer special cases.

2017-07-06ksm: fix use after free with merge_across_nodes = 0Andrea Arcangeli
If merge_across_nodes was manually set to 0 (not the default value) by the admin or a tuned profile on NUMA systems triggering cross-NODE page migrations, a stable_node use after free could materialize. If the chain is collapsed stable_node would point to the old chain that was already freed. stable_node_dup would be the stable_node dup now converted to a regular stable_node and indexed in the rbtree in replacement of the freed stable_node chain (not anymore a dup). This special case where the chain is collapsed in the NUMA replacement path, is now detected by setting stable_node to NULL by the chain_prune callee if it decides to collapse the chain. This tells the NUMA replacement code that even if stable_node and stable_node_dup are different, this is not a chain if stable_node is NULL, as the stable_node_dup was converted to a regular stable_node and the chain was collapsed. It is generally safer for the callee to force the caller stable_node to NULL the moment it become stale so any other mistake like this would result in an instant Oops easier to debug than an use after free. Otherwise the replace logic would act like if stable_node was a valid chain, when in fact it was freed. Notably stable_node_chain_add_dup(page_node, stable_node) would run on a stable stable_node. Andrey Ryabinin found the source of the use after free in chain_prune().

2017-07-06ksm: introduce ksm_max_page_sharing per page deduplication limitAndrea Arcangeli
Without a max deduplication limit for each KSM page, the list of the rmap_items associated to each stable_node can grow infinitely large. During the rmap walk each entry can take up to ~10usec to process because of IPIs for the TLB flushing (both for the primary MMU and the secondary MMUs with the MMU notifier). With only 16GB of address space shared in the same KSM page, that would amount to dozens of seconds of kernel runtime. A ~256 max deduplication factor will reduce the latencies of the rmap walks on KSM pages to order of a few msec. Just doing the cond_resched() during the rmap walks is not enough, the list size must have a limit too, otherwise the caller could get blocked in (schedule friendly) kernel computations for seconds, unexpectedly. There's room for optimization to significantly reduce the IPI delivery cost during the page_referenced(), but at least for page_migration in the KSM case (used by hard NUMA bindings, compaction and NUMA balancing) it may be inevitable to send lots of IPIs if each rmap_item->mm is active on a different CPU and there are lots of CPUs. Even if we ignore the IPI delivery cost, we've still to walk the whole KSM rmap list, so we can't allow millions or billions (ulimited) number of entries in the KSM stable_node rmap_item lists. The limit is enforced efficiently by adding a second dimension to the stable rbtree. So there are three types of stable_nodes: the regular ones (identical as before, living in the first flat dimension of the stable rbtree), the "chains" and the "dups". Every "chain" and all "dups" linked into a "chain" enforce the invariant that they represent the same write protected memory content, even if each "dup" will be pointed by a different KSM page copy of that content. This way the stable rbtree lookup computational complexity is unaffected if compared to an unlimited max_sharing_limit. It is still enforced that there cannot be KSM page content duplicates in the stable rbtree itself. Adding the second dimension to the stable rbtree only after the max_page_sharing limit hits, provides for a zero memory footprint increase on 64bit archs. The memory overhead of the per-KSM page stable_tree and per virtual mapping rmap_item is unchanged. Only after the max_page_sharing limit hits, we need to allocate a stable_tree "chain" and rb_replace() the "regular" stable_node with the newly allocated stable_node "chain". After that we simply add the "regular" stable_node to the chain as a stable_node "dup" by linking hlist_dup in the stable_node_chain->hlist. This way the "regular" (flat) stable_node is converted to a stable_node "dup" living in the second dimension of the stable rbtree. During stable rbtree lookups the stable_node "chain" is identified as stable_node->rmap_hlist_len == STABLE_NODE_CHAIN (aka is_stable_node_chain()). When dropping stable_nodes, the stable_node "dup" is identified as stable_node->head == STABLE_NODE_DUP_HEAD (aka is_stable_node_dup()). The STABLE_NODE_DUP_HEAD must be an unique valid pointer never used elsewhere in any stable_node->head/node to avoid a clashes with the stable_node->node.rb_parent_color pointer, and different from &migrate_nodes. So the second field of &migrate_nodes is picked and verified as always safe with a BUILD_BUG_ON in case the list_head implementation changes in the future. The STABLE_NODE_DUP is picked as a random negative value in stable_node->rmap_hlist_len. rmap_hlist_len cannot become negative when it's a "regular" stable_node or a stable_node "dup". The stable_node_chain->nid is irrelevant. The stable_node_chain->kpfn is aliased in a union with a time field used to rate limit the stable_node_chain->hlist prunes. The garbage collection of the stable_node_chain happens lazily during stable rbtree lookups (as for all other kind of stable_nodes), or while disabling KSM with "echo 2 >/sys/kernel/mm/ksm/run" while collecting the entire stable rbtree. While the "regular" stable_nodes and the stable_node "dups" must wait for their underlying tree_page to be freed before they can be freed themselves, the stable_node "chains" can be freed immediately if the stable_node->hlist turns empty. This is because the "chains" are never pointed by any page->mapping and they're effectively stable rbtree KSM self contained metadata.

Otherwise if "err" gets clobbered with zero and write_protect_page fails, try_to_merge_one_page() will succeed instead of returning -EFAULT and then try_to_merge_with_ksm_page() will continue thinking kpage is a PageKsm when in fact it's still an anonymous page.

2017-02-24mm/ksm: improve deduplication of zero pages with colouringClaudio Imbrenda
Some architectures have a set of zero pages (coloured zero pages) instead of only one zero page, in order to improve the cache performance. In those cases, the kernel samepage merger (KSM) would merge all the allocated pages that happen to be filled with zeroes to the same deduplicated page, thus losing all the advantages of coloured zero pages. This behaviour is noticeable when a process accesses large arrays of allocated pages containing zeroes. A test I conducted on s390 shows that there is a speed penalty when KSM merges such pages, compared to not merging them or using actual zero pages from the start without breaking the COW. This patch fixes this behaviour. When coloured zero pages are present, the checksum of a zero page is calculated during initialisation, and compared with the checksum of the current canditate during merging. In case of a match, the normal merging routine is used to merge the page with the correct coloured zero page, which ensures the candidate page is checked to be equal to the target zero page. A sysfs entry is also added to toggle this behaviour, since it can potentially introduce performance regressions, especially on architectures without coloured zero pages. The default value is disabled, for backwards compatibility. With this patch, the performance with KSM is the same as with non COW-broken actual zero pages, which is also the same as without KSM.

There is no way forward because the oom victim cannot release any memory in 4.1 based kernel. Since 4.6 we have the oom reaper which would solve this problem because it would release the memory asynchronously. Nevertheless we can relax alloc_rmap_item requirements and use __GFP_NORETRY because the allocation failure is acceptable as ksm_do_scan would just retry later after the lock got dropped. Such a patch would be also easy to backport to older stable kernels which do not have oom_reaper. While we are at it add GFP_NOWARN so the admin doesn't have to be alarmed by the allocation failure.
