2025-05-11arm64/mm: define ptdesc_tAnshuman Khandual
Define ptdesc_t type which describes the basic page table descriptor layout on arm64 platform. Subsequently all level specific pxxval_t descriptors are derived from ptdesc_t thus establishing a common original format, which can also be appropriate for page table entries, masks and protection values etc which are used at all page table levels.

2025-05-11mm/ptdump: split effective_prot() into level specific callbacksAnshuman Khandual
Last argument in effective_prot() is u64 assuming pxd_val() returned value (all page table levels) is 64 bit. pxd_val() is very platform specific and its type should not be assumed in generic MM. Split effective_prot() into individual page table level specific callbacks which accepts corresponding pxd_t argument instead and then the subscribing platform (only x86) just derive pxd_val() from the entries as required and proceed as earlier.

2025-05-11mm/ptdump: split note_page() into level specific callbacksAnshuman Khandual
Patch series "mm/ptdump: Drop assumption that pxd_val() is u64", v2. Last argument passed down in note_page() is u64 assuming pxd_val() returned value (all page table levels) is 64 bit - which might not be the case going ahead when D128 page tables is enabled on arm64 platform. Besides pxd_val() is very platform specific and its type should not be assumed in generic MM. A similar problem exists for effective_prot(), although it is restricted to x86 platform. This series splits note_page() and effective_prot() into individual page table level specific callbacks which accepts corresponding pxd_t page table entry as an argument instead and later on all subscribing platforms could derive pxd_val() from the table entries as required and proceed as before. Define ptdesc_t type which describes the basic page table descriptor layout on arm64 platform. Subsequently all level specific pxxval_t descriptors are derived from ptdesc_t thus establishing a common original format, which can also be appropriate for page table entries, masks and protection values etc which are used at all page table levels. This patch (of 3): Last argument passed down in note_page() is u64 assuming pxd_val() returned value (all page table levels) is 64 bit - which might not be the case going ahead when D128 page tables is enabled on arm64 platform.

2025-05-11selftest/mm: make hugetlb_reparenting_test tolerant to async reparentingLi Wang
In cgroup v2, memory and hugetlb usage reparenting is asynchronous. This can cause test flakiness when immediately asserting usage after deleting a child cgroup. To address this, add a helper function `assert_with_retry()` that checks usage values with a timeout-based retry. This improves test stability without relying on fixed sleep delays. Also bump up the tolerance size to 7MB. To avoid False Positives: ... # Assert memory charged correctly for child only use. # actual a = 11 MB # expected a = 0 MB # fail # cleanup # [FAIL] not ok 11 hugetlb_reparenting_test.sh -cgroup-v2 # exit=1 # 0 # SUMMARY: PASS=10 SKIP=0 FAIL=1 Link: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20250407084201.74492-1-liwang@redhat.com Signed-off-by: Li Wang <liwang@redhat.com> Tested-by: Donet Tom <donettom@linux.ibm.com> Cc: Waiman Long <longman@redhat.com> Cc: Anshuman Khandual <anshuman.khandual@arm.com> Cc: Dev Jain <dev.jain@arm.com> Cc: Kirill A.

2025-05-11mm: page_alloc: tighten up find_suitable_fallback()Johannes Weiner
find_suitable_fallback() is not as efficient as it could be, and somewhat difficult to follow. 1. should_try_claim_block() is a loop invariant. There is no point in checking fallback areas if the caller is interested in claimable blocks but the order and the migratetype don't allow for that. 2. __rmqueue_steal() doesn't care about claimability, so it shouldn't have to run those tests. Different callers want different things from this helper: 1. __compact_finished() scans orders up until it finds a claimable block 2. __rmqueue_claim() scans orders down as long as blocks are claimable 3. __rmqueue_steal() doesn't care about claimability at all Move should_try_claim_block() out of the loop. Only test it for the two callers who care in the first place. Distinguish "no blocks" from "order + mt are not claimable" in the return value; __rmqueue_claim() can stop once order becomes unclaimable, __compact_finished() can keep advancing until order becomes claimable.

2025-05-11kernel/events/uprobes: uprobe_write_opcode() rewriteDavid Hildenbrand
uprobe_write_opcode() does some pretty low-level things that really, it shouldn't be doing: for example, manually breaking COW by allocating anonymous folios and replacing mapped pages. Further, it does seem to do some shaky things: for example, writing to possible COW-shared anonymous pages or zapping anonymous pages that might be pinned. We're also not taking care of uffd, uffd-wp, softdirty ... although rather corner cases here. Let's just get it right like ordinary ptrace writes would. Let's rewrite the code, leaving COW-breaking to core-MM, triggered by FOLL_FORCE|FOLL_WRITE (note that the code was already using FOLL_FORCE). We'll use GUP to lookup/faultin the page and break COW if required. Then, we'll walk the page tables using a folio_walk to perform our page modification atomically by temporarily unmap the PTE + flushing the TLB. Likely, we could avoid the temporary unmap in case we can just atomically write the instruction, but that will be a separate project. Unfortunately, we still have to implement the zapping logic manually, because we only want to zap in specific circumstances (e.g., page content identical). Note that we can now handle large folios (compound pages) and the shared zeropage just fine, so drop these checks.

2025-05-11kernel/events/uprobes: pass VMA instead of MM to remove_breakpoint()David Hildenbrand
Patch series "kernel/events/uprobes: uprobe_write_opcode() rewrite", v3. Currently, uprobe_write_opcode() implements COW-breaking manually, which is really far from ideal. Further, there is interest in supporting uprobes on hugetlb pages [1], and leaving at least the COW-breaking to the core will make this much easier. Also, I think the current code doesn't really handle some things properly (see patch #3) when replacing/zapping pages. Let's rewrite it, to leave COW-breaking to the fault handler, and handle registration/unregistration by temporarily unmapping the anonymous page, modifying it, and mapping it again. We still have to implement zapping of anonymous pages ourselves, unfortunately. We could look into not performing the temporary unmapping if we can perform the write atomically, which would likely also make adding hugetlb support a lot easier. But, limited (e.g., only PMD/PUD) hugetlb support could be added on top of this with some tweaking. Note that we now won't have to allocate another anonymous folio when unregistering (which will be beneficial for hugetlb as well), we can simply modify the already-mapped one from the registration (if any). When registering a uprobe, we'll first trigger a ptrace-like write fault to break COW, to then modify the already-mapped page. Briefly sanity tested with perf probes and with the bpf uprobes selftest. This patch (of 3): Pass VMA instead of MM to remove_breakpoint() and remove the "MM" argument from install_breakpoint(), because it can easily be derived from the VMA.

2025-05-11ptrace: introduce PTRACE_SET_SYSCALL_INFO requestDmitry V. Levin
PTRACE_SET_SYSCALL_INFO is a generic ptrace API that complements PTRACE_GET_SYSCALL_INFO by letting the ptracer modify details of system calls the tracee is blocked in. This API allows ptracers to obtain and modify system call details in a straightforward and architecture-agnostic way, providing a consistent way of manipulating the system call number and arguments across architectures.

2025-05-11hexagon: add syscall_set_return_value()Dmitry V. Levin
Patch series "ptrace: introduce PTRACE_SET_SYSCALL_INFO API", v7. PTRACE_SET_SYSCALL_INFO is a generic ptrace API that complements PTRACE_GET_SYSCALL_INFO by letting the ptracer modify details of system calls the tracee is blocked in. This API allows ptracers to obtain and modify system call details in a straightforward and architecture-agnostic way, providing a consistent way of manipulating the system call number and arguments across architectures. As in case of PTRACE_GET_SYSCALL_INFO, PTRACE_SET_SYSCALL_INFO also does not aim to address numerous architecture-specific system call ABI peculiarities, like differences in the number of system call arguments for such system calls as pread64 and preadv. The current implementation supports changing only those bits of system call information that are used by strace system call tampering, namely, syscall number, syscall arguments, and syscall return value. Support of changing additional details returned by PTRACE_GET_SYSCALL_INFO, such as instruction pointer and stack pointer, could be added later if needed, by using struct ptrace_syscall_info.flags to specify the additional details that should be set. Currently, "flags" and "reserved" fields of struct ptrace_syscall_info must be initialized with zeroes; "arch", "instruction_pointer", and "stack_pointer" fields are currently ignored. PTRACE_SET_SYSCALL_INFO currently supports only PTRACE_SYSCALL_INFO_ENTRY, PTRACE_SYSCALL_INFO_EXIT, and PTRACE_SYSCALL_INFO_SECCOMP operations. Other operations could be added later if needed. Ideally, PTRACE_SET_SYSCALL_INFO should have been introduced along with PTRACE_GET_SYSCALL_INFO, but it didn't happen. The last straw that convinced me to implement PTRACE_SET_SYSCALL_INFO was apparent failure to provide an API of changing the first system call argument on riscv architecture [1]. ptrace(2) man page: long ptrace(enum __ptrace_request request, pid_t pid, void *addr, void *data); ... PTRACE_SET_SYSCALL_INFO Modify information about the system call that caused the stop. The "data" argument is a pointer to struct ptrace_syscall_info that specifies the system call information to be set. The "addr" argument should be set to sizeof(struct ptrace_syscall_info)). This patch (of 6): hexagon is the only architecture that provides HAVE_ARCH_TRACEHOOK but doesn't define syscall_set_return_value(). Since this function is going to be needed on all HAVE_ARCH_TRACEHOOK architectures to implement PTRACE_SET_SYSCALL_INFO API, add it on hexagon, too.

Here is a summary of the changes: 1. Function naming improvments. - Use "put" instead of "free" to name functions which only do actual free when count drops to zero. - Use "entry" to name function only frees one swap slot. Use "entries" to name function could may free multi swap slots within one cluster. Use "_nr" suffix to name function which could free multi swap slots spanning cross multi clusters. 2. Eliminate the need to set swap slot to intermediate SWAP_HAS_CACHE value before do actual free by using swap_entry_range_free() 3. Add helpers swap_entries_put_map() and swap_entries_put_cache() as a general-purpose routine to free swap entries within a single cluster which will try batch-remove first and fallback to put eatch entry indvidually with cluster lock acquired/released only once. By using these helpers, we could remove repeated code, levarage batch-remove in more cases and aoivd to acquire/release cluster lock for each single swap entry. This patch (of 8): In __swap_entry_free[_locked] and __swap_entries_free, we decrease count first and only free swap entry if count drops to zero. This behavior is more akin to a put() operation rather than a free() operation. Therefore, rename these functions with "put" instead of "free". Additionally, add "_nr" suffix to swap_entries_put to indicate the input range may span swap clusters.

2025-05-11memcg: combine slab obj stock charging and accountingVlastimil Babka
When handing slab objects, we use obj_cgroup_[un]charge() for (un)charging and mod_objcg_state() to account NR_SLAB_[UN]RECLAIMABLE_B. All these operations use the percpu stock for performance. However with the calls being separate, the stock_lock is taken twice in each case. By refactoring the code, we can turn mod_objcg_state() into __account_obj_stock() which is called on a stock that's already locked and validated. On the charging side we can call this function from consume_obj_stock() when it succeeds, and refill_obj_stock() in the fallback. We just expand parameters of these functions as necessary. The uncharge side from __memcg_slab_free_hook() is just the call to refill_obj_stock(). Other callers of obj_cgroup_[un]charge() (i.e. not slab) simply pass the extra parameters as NULL/zeroes to skip the __account_obj_stock() operation. In __memcg_slab_post_alloc_hook() we now charge each object separately, but that's not a problem as we did call mod_objcg_state() for each object separately, and most allocations are non-bulk anyway. This could be improved by batching all operations until slab_pgdat(slab) changes. Some preliminary benchmarking with a kfree(kmalloc()) loop of 10M iterations with/without __GFP_ACCOUNT: Before the patch: kmalloc/kfree !memcg: 581390144 cycles kmalloc/kfree memcg: 783689984 cycles After the patch: kmalloc/kfree memcg: 658723808 cycles More than half of the overhead of __GFP_ACCOUNT relative to non-accounted case seems eliminated.

obj_cgroup_release is called when all the references to the objcg have been released i.e. no more memory objects are pointing to it.

There is no need to refill the local stock with some ancestor memcg and flush the local stock. Let's decouple obj_cgroup_release() from the local stock by uncharging instead of refilling. One additional benefit of this change is that it removes the requirement to only call obj_cgroup_put() outside of local_lock.

2025-05-11memcg: decouple drain_obj_stock from local stockShakeel Butt
Currently drain_obj_stock() can potentially call __refill_stock which accesses local cpu stock and thus requires memcg stock's local_lock. However if we look at the code paths leading to drain_obj_stock(), there is never a good reason to refill the memcg stock at all from it. At the moment, drain_obj_stock can be called from reclaim, hotplug cpu teardown, mod_objcg_state() and refill_obj_stock(). For reclaim and hotplug there is no need to refill. For the other two paths, most probably the newly switched objcg would be used in near future and thus no need to refill stock with the older objcg. In addition, __refill_stock() from drain_obj_stock() happens on rare cases, so performance is not really an issue. Let's just uncharge directly instead of refill which will also decouple drain_obj_stock from local cpu stock and local_lock requirements.

2025-05-11mm/compaction: remove low watermark cap for proactive compactionMichal Clapinski
Patch series "mm/compaction: allow more aggressive proactive compaction", v4. Our goal is to keep memory usage of a VM low on the host. For that reason, we use free page reporting which by default reports free pages of order 9 and larger to the host to be freed. The feature works well only if the memory in the guest is not fragmented below pages of order 9. Proactive compaction can be reused to achieve defragmentation after some parameter tweaking. When the fragmentation score (lower is better) gets larger than the high watermark, proactive compaction kicks in. Compaction stops when the score goes below the low watermark (or no progress is made and backoff kicks in). Let's define the difference between high and low watermarks as leeway. Before these changes, the minimum possible value for low watermark was 5 and the leeway was hardcoded to 10 (so minimum possible value for high watermark was 15). To test this, I created a VM with 19GB of memory and free page reporting enabled. The VM was ~idle. I meassured the memory usage from inside the guest (/proc/meminfo) and from the host (provided by the hypervisor).

This was to make sure users don't hurt themselves by setting the proactiveness to 100 and making their system unresponsive. But the compaction mechanism has a backoff mechanism that will sleep for 30s if no progress is made, so I don't see a significant risk here. My system (19GB of memory) has been perfectly fine with both watermarks hardcoded to 0.

2025-05-11zram: modernize writeback interfaceSergey Senozhatsky
The writeback interface supports a page_index=N parameter which performs writeback of the given page. Since we rarely need to writeback just one single page, the typical use case involves a number of writeback calls, each performing writeback of one page: echo page_index=100 > zram0/writeback ... echo page_index=200 > zram0/writeback echo page_index=500 > zram0/writeback ... echo page_index=700 > zram0/writeback One obvious downside of this is that it increases the number of syscalls. Less obvious, but a significantly more important downside, is that when given only one page to post-process zram cannot perform an optimal target selection. This becomes a critical limitation when writeback_limit is enabled, because under writeback_limit we want to guarantee the highest memory savings hence we first need to writeback pages that release the highest amount of zsmalloc pool memory. This patch adds page_indexes=LOW-HIGH parameter to the writeback interface: echo page_indexes=100-200 page_indexes=500-700 > zram0/writeback This gives zram a chance to apply an optimal target selection strategy on each iteration of the writeback loop. We also now permit multiple page_index parameters per call (previously zram would recognize only one page_index) and a mix or single pages and page ranges: echo page_index=42 page_index=99 page_indexes=100-200 \ page_indexes=500-700 > zram0/writeback Apart from that the patch also unifies parameters passing and resembles other "modern" zram device attributes (e.g. recompression), while the old interface used a mixed scheme: values-less parameters for mode and a key=value format for page_index. We still support the "old" value-less format for compatibility reasons.

Patch series "memory,x86,acpi: hotplug memory alignment advisement", v8. When physical address regions are not aligned to memory block size, the misaligned portion is lost (stranded capacity). Block size (min/max/selected) is architecture defined. Most architectures tend to use the minimum block size or some simplistic heurist.

CXL exposes its memory for management through the ACPI CEDT (CXL Early Detection Table) in a field called the CXL Fixed Memory Window. Per the CXL specification, this memory must be aligned to at least 256MB. When a CFMW aligns on a size less than the block size, this causes a loss of up to 2GB per CFMW on x86. It is not uncommon for CFMW to be allocated per-device - though this behavior is BIOS defined. This patch set provides 3 things: 1) implement advise/query functions in driverse/base/memory.c to report/query architecture agnostic hotplug block alignment advice. 2) update x86 memblock size logic to consider the hotplug advice 3) add code in acpi/numa/srat.c to report CFMW alignment advice The advisement interfaces are design to be called during arch_init code prior to allocator and smp_init. start_kernel will call these through setup_arch() (via acpi and mm/init_64.c on x86), which occurs prior to mm_core_init and smp_init - so no need for atomics. There's an attempt to signal callers to advise() that query has already occurred, but this is predicated on the notion that query actually occurs (which presently only happens on the x86 arch). This is to assist debugging future users. Otherwise, the advise() call has been marked __init to help static discovery of bad call times. Once query is called the first time, it will always return the same value. Interfaces return -EBUSY and 0 respectively on systems without hotplug. This patch (of 3): Hotplug memory sources may have opinions on what the memblock size should be - usually for alignment purposes. For example, CXL memory extents can be 256MB with a matching alignment. If this size/alignment is smaller than the block size, it can result in stranded capacity. Implement memory_block_advise_max_size for use prior to allocator init, for software to advise the system on the max block size. Implement memory_block_probe_max_size for use by arch init code to calculate the best block size. Use of advice is architecture defined. The probe value can never change after first probe. Calls to advise after probe will return -EBUSY to aid debugging. On systems without hotplug, always return -ENODEV and 0 respectively.
