The commit ca29a0bf122145 ("tracing: gfp: Remove duplication of recording
GFP flags") caused the following regression in printf_test selftest:
[ 46.208199] test_printf: kvasprintf(..., "%pGg", ...) returned 'none|0xfc000000', expected '0xfc000000'
[ 46.208209] test_printf: kvasprintf(..., "%pGg", ...) returned '__GFP_HIGH|none|0xfc000000', expected '__GFP_HIGH|0xfc000000'
The problem is the new '{ 0, "none" }' entry in __def_gfpflag_names macro
and the following code:
char *format_flags(char *buf, char *end, unsigned long flags,
const struct trace_print_flags *names)
{
[...]
if ((flags & mask) != mask)
continue;
[...]
}
The purpose of the code is to print the name of a mask instead of bits,
for example, printk "GFP_ZONEMASK", instead of
"__GFP_DMA|__GFP_HIGHMEM|__GFP_DMA32|__GFP_MOVABLE".
Unfortunately, the mask "0" pass this check and "none" is always
printed.
A solution would be to move TRACE_GFP_FLAGS up so that it is not
the last entry. But it breaks the rule that named masks must
be defined before names of single bytes. Otherwise, it would
print the names of the bytes instead of the mask.
Instead, replace '{ 0, "none" }' with '{ 0, NULL }'. It works because
__def_gfpflag_names defines a standalone array and this is the standard
trailing entry. The code processing these arrays always ends the cycle
when flag->name == NULL.

The gfp_flags when recorded in the trace require being converted from
their numbers to values. Various macros are used to help facilitate this,
but there's two sets of macros that need to keep track of the same GFP
flags to stay in sync.
Commit 60295b944ff68 ("tracing: gfp: Fix the GFP enum values shown for
user space tracing tools") added a TRACE_GFP_FLAGS macro that holds the
enum ___GFP_*_BIT defined bits, and creates the TRACE_DEFINE_ENUM()
wrapper around them.
The __def_gfpflag_names() macro creates the mapping of various flags or
multiple flags to give them human readable names via the __print_flags()
tracing helper macro.
As the TRACE_GFP_FLAGS is a subset of the __def_gfpflags_names(), it can
be used to cover the individual bit names, by redefining the internal
macro TRACE_GFP_EM():
#undef TRACE_GFP_EM
#define TRACE_GFP_EM(a) gfpflag_string(__GFP_##a),
This will remove the bits that are duplicate between the two macros. If a
new bit is created, only the TRACE_GFP_FLAGS needs to be updated and that
will also update the __def_gfpflags_names() macro.

Tracing tools like perf and trace-cmd read the /sys/kernel/tracing/events/*/*/format
files to know how to parse the data and also how to print it. For the
"print fmt" portion of that file, if anything uses an enum that is not
exported to the tracing system, user space will not be able to parse it.
The GFP flags use to be defines, and defines get translated in the print
fmt sections. But now they are converted to use enums, which is not.
The mm_page_alloc trace event format use to have:
print fmt: "page=%p pfn=0x%lx order=%d migratetype=%d gfp_flags=%s",
REC->pfn != -1UL ? (((struct page *)vmemmap_base) + (REC->pfn)) : ((void
*)0), REC->pfn != -1UL ? REC->pfn : 0, REC->order, REC->migratetype,
(REC->gfp_flags) ? __print_flags(REC->gfp_flags, "|", {( unsigned
long)(((((((( gfp_t)(0x400u|0x800u)) | (( gfp_t)0x40u) | (( gfp_t)0x80u) |
(( gfp_t)0x100000u)) | (( gfp_t)0x02u)) | (( gfp_t)0x08u) | (( gfp_t)0)) |
(( gfp_t)0x40000u) | (( gfp_t)0x80000u) | (( gfp_t)0x2000u)) & ~((
gfp_t)(0x400u|0x800u))) | (( gfp_t)0x400u)), "GFP_TRANSHUGE"}, {( unsigned
long)((((((( gfp_t)(0x400u|0x800u)) | (( gfp_t)0x40u) | (( gfp_t)0x80u) |
(( gfp_t)0x100000u)) | (( gfp_t)0x02u)) | (( gfp_t)0x08u) | (( gfp_t)0)) ...
Where the GFP values are shown and not their names. But after the GFP
flags were converted to use enums, it has:
print fmt: "page=%p pfn=0x%lx order=%d migratetype=%d gfp_flags=%s",
REC->pfn != -1UL ? (vmemmap + (REC->pfn)) : ((void *)0), REC->pfn != -1UL
? REC->pfn : 0, REC->order, REC->migratetype, (REC->gfp_flags) ?
__print_flags(REC->gfp_flags, "|", {( unsigned long)((((((((
gfp_t)(((((1UL))) << (___GFP_DIRECT_RECLAIM_BIT))|((((1UL))) <<
(___GFP_KSWAPD_RECLAIM_BIT)))) | (( gfp_t)((((1UL))) << (___GFP_IO_BIT)))
| (( gfp_t)((((1UL))) << (___GFP_FS_BIT))) | (( gfp_t)((((1UL))) <<
(___GFP_HARDWALL_BIT)))) | (( gfp_t)((((1UL))) << (___GFP_HIGHMEM_BIT))))
| (( gfp_t)((((1UL))) << (___GFP_MOVABLE_BIT))) | (( gfp_t)0)) | ((
gfp_t)((((1UL))) << (___GFP_COMP_BIT))) ...
Where the enums names like ___GFP_KSWAPD_RECLAIM_BIT are shown and not their
values. User space has no way to convert these names to their values and
the output will fail to parse. What is shown is now:
mm_page_alloc: page=0xffffffff981685f3 pfn=0x1d1ac1 order=0 migratetype=1 gfp_flags=0x140cca
The TRACE_DEFINE_ENUM() macro was created to handle enums in the print fmt
files. This causes them to be replaced at boot up with the numbers, so
that user space tooling can parse it. By using this macro, the output is
back to the human readable:
mm_page_alloc: page=0xffffffff981685f3 pfn=0x122233 order=0 migratetype=1 gfp_flags=GFP_HIGHUSER_MOVABLE|__GFP_COMP

Commit 9651fcedf7b9 ("mm: add MAP_DROPPABLE for designating always
lazily freeable mappings") only adds VM_DROPPABLE for 64 bits
architectures.
In order to also use the getrandom vDSO implementation on powerpc/32,
use VM_ARCH_1 for VM_DROPPABLE on powerpc/32. This is possible because
VM_ARCH_1 is used for VM_SAO on powerpc and VM_SAO is only for
powerpc/64. It is used in combination with PROT_SAO in some parts of
code that are restricted to CONFIG_PPC64 through #ifdefs, it is
therefore possible to define VM_SAO for CONFIG_PPC64 only.

This flag has similar constraints to PG_owner_priv_1 -- it is ignored by
core code, and is entirely for the use of the code which allocated the
folio. Since the pagecache does not use it, individual filesystems can
use it. The bufferhead code does use it, so filesystems which use the
buffer cache must not use it for another purpose.

Patch series "Increase the number of bits available in page_type".
Kent wants more than 16 bits in page_type, so I resurrected this old patch
and expanded it a bit. It's a bit more efficient than our current scheme
(1 4-byte insn vs 3 insns of 13 bytes total) to test a single page type.
This patch (of 4):
An upcoming patch will convert page type from being a bitfield to a
single byte, so we will not be able to use %pG to print the page type
any more. The printing of the symbolic name will be restored in that
patch.

The vDSO getrandom() implementation works with a buffer allocated with a
new system call that has certain requirements:
- It shouldn't be written to core dumps.
* Easy: VM_DONTDUMP.
- It should be zeroed on fork.
* Easy: VM_WIPEONFORK.
- It shouldn't be written to swap.
* Uh-oh: mlock is rlimited.
* Uh-oh: mlock isn't inherited by forks.
- It shouldn't reserve actual memory, but it also shouldn't crash when
page faulting in memory if none is available
* Uh-oh: VM_NORESERVE means segfaults.
It turns out that the vDSO getrandom() function has three really nice
characteristics that we can exploit to solve this problem:
1) Due to being wiped during fork(), the vDSO code is already robust to
having the contents of the pages it reads zeroed out midway through
the function's execution.
2) In the absolute worst case of whatever contingency we're coding for,
we have the option to fallback to the getrandom() syscall, and
everything is fine.
3) The buffers the function uses are only ever useful for a maximum of
60 seconds -- a sort of cache, rather than a long term allocation.
These characteristics mean that we can introduce VM_DROPPABLE, which
has the following semantics:
a) It never is written out to swap.
b) Under memory pressure, mm can just drop the pages (so that they're
zero when read back again).
c) It is inherited by fork.
d) It doesn't count against the mlock budget, since nothing is locked.
e) If there's not enough memory to service a page fault, it's not fatal,
and no signal is sent.
This way, allocations used by vDSO getrandom() can use:
VM_DROPPABLE | VM_DONTDUMP | VM_WIPEONFORK | VM_NORESERVE
And there will be no problem with OOMing, crashing on overcommitment,
using memory when not in use, not wiping on fork(), coredumps, or
writing out to swap.
In order to let vDSO getrandom() use this, expose these via mmap(2) as
MAP_DROPPABLE.
Note that this involves removing the MADV_FREE special case from
sort_folio(), which according to Yu Zhao is unnecessary and will simply
result in an extra call to shrink_folio_list() in the worst case. The
chunk removed reenables the swapbacked flag, which we don't want for
VM_DROPPABLE, and we can't conditionalize it here because there isn't a
vma reference available.
Finally, the provided self test ensures that this is working as desired.

Reclaim the Slab page flag by using a spare bit in PageType. We are
perennially short of page flags for various purposes, and now that the
original SLAB allocator has been retired, SLUB does not use the
mapcount/page_type field. This lets us remove a number of special cases
for ignoring mapcount on Slab pages.

The current folio_test_hugetlb() can be fooled by a concurrent folio split
into returning true for a folio which has never belonged to hugetlbfs.
This can't happen if the caller holds a refcount on it, but we have a few
places (memory-failure, compaction, procfs) which do not and should not
take a speculative reference.
Since hugetlb pages do not use individual page mapcounts (they are always
fully mapped and use the entire_mapcount field to record the number of
mappings), the PageType field is available now that page_mapcount()
ignores the value in this field.
In compaction and with CONFIG_DEBUG_VM enabled, the current implementation
can result in an oops, as reported by Luis. This happens since 9c5ccf2db04b
("mm: remove HUGETLB_PAGE_DTOR") effectively added some VM_BUG_ON() checks
in the PageHuge() testing path.

The Itanium architecture is obsolete, and an informal survey [0] reveals
that any residual use of Itanium hardware in production is mostly HP-UX
or OpenVMS based. The use of Linux on Itanium appears to be limited to
enthusiasts that occasionally boot a fresh Linux kernel to see whether
things are still working as intended, and perhaps to churn out some
distro packages that are rarely used in practice.
None of the original companies behind Itanium still produce or support
any hardware or software for the architecture, and it is listed as
'Orphaned' in the MAINTAINERS file, as apparently, none of the engineers
that contributed on behalf of those companies (nor anyone else, for that
matter) have been willing to support or maintain the architecture
upstream or even be responsible for applying the odd fix. The Intel
firmware team removed all IA-64 support from the Tianocore/EDK2
reference implementation of EFI in 2018. (Itanium is the original
architecture for which EFI was developed, and the way Linux supports it
deviates significantly from other architectures.) Some distros, such as
Debian and Gentoo, still maintain [unofficial] ia64 ports, but many have
dropped support years ago.
While the argument is being made [1] that there is a 'for the common
good' angle to being able to build and run existing projects such as the
Grid Community Toolkit [2] on Itanium for interoperability testing, the
fact remains that none of those projects are known to be deployed on
Linux/ia64, and very few people actually have access to such a system in
the first place. Even if there were ways imaginable in which Linux/ia64
could be put to good use today, what matters is whether anyone is
actually doing that, and this does not appear to be the case.
There are no emulators widely available, and so boot testing Itanium is
generally infeasible for ordinary contributors. GCC still supports IA-64
but its compile farm [3] no longer has any IA-64 machines. GLIBC would
like to get rid of IA-64 [4] too because it would permit some overdue
code cleanups. In summary, the benefits to the ecosystem of having IA-64
be part of it are mostly theoretical, whereas the maintenance overhead
of keeping it supported is real.
So let's rip off the band aid, and remove the IA-64 arch code entirely.
This follows the timeline proposed by the Debian/ia64 maintainer [5],
which removes support in a controlled manner, leaving IA-64 in a known
good state in the most recent LTS release. Other projects will follow
once the kernel support is removed.

Patch series "mm: compaction: cleanups & simplifications".
These compaction cleanups are split out from the huge page allocator
series[1], as requested by reviewer feedback.
[1] https://lore.kernel.org/linux-mm/20230418191313.268131-1-hannes@cmpxchg.org/
This patch (of 5):
The compaction result helpers encode quirks that are specific to the
allocator's retry logic. E.g. COMPACT_SUCCESS and COMPACT_COMPLETE
actually represent failures that should be retried upon, and so on. I
frequently found myself pulling up the helper implementation in order to
understand and work on the retry logic. They're not quite clean
abstractions; rather they split the retry logic into two locations.
Remove the helpers and inline the checks. Then comment on the result
interpretations directly where the decision making happens.

Code inspection reveals that PG_skip_kasan_poison is redundant with
kasantag, because the former is intended to be set iff the latter is the
match-all tag. It can also be observed that it's basically pointless to
poison pages which have kasantag=0, because any pages with this tag would
have been pointed to by pointers with match-all tags, so poisoning the
pages would have little to no effect in terms of bug detection.
Therefore, change the condition in should_skip_kasan_poison() to check
kasantag instead, and remove PG_skip_kasan_poison and associated flags.

%pGp format is used to display 'flags' field of a struct page. However,
some page flags (i.e. PG_buddy, see page-flags.h for more details) are
stored in page_type field. To display human-readable output of page_type,
introduce %pGt format.
It is important to note the meaning of bits are different in page_type.
if page_type is 0xffffffff, no flags are set. Setting PG_buddy
(0x00000080) flag results in a page_type of 0xffffff7f. Clearing a bit
actually means setting a flag. Bits in page_type are inverted when
displaying type names.
Only values for which page_type_has_type() returns true are considered as
page_type, to avoid confusion with mapcount values. if it returns false,
only raw values are displayed and not page type names.

__GFP_ATOMIC serves little purpose. Its main effect is to set
ALLOC_HARDER which adds a few little boosts to increase the chance of an
allocation succeeding, one of which is to lower the water-mark at which it
will succeed.
It is *always* paired with __GFP_HIGH which sets ALLOC_HIGH which also
adjusts this watermark. It is probable that other users of __GFP_HIGH
should benefit from the other little bonuses that __GFP_ATOMIC gets.
__GFP_ATOMIC also gives a warning if used with __GFP_DIRECT_RECLAIM.
There is little point to this. We already get a might_sleep() warning if
__GFP_DIRECT_RECLAIM is set.
__GFP_ATOMIC allows the "watermark_boost" to be side-stepped. It is
probable that testing ALLOC_HARDER is a better fit here.
__GFP_ATOMIC is used by tegra-smmu.c to check if the allocation might
sleep. This should test __GFP_DIRECT_RECLAIM instead.
This patch:
- removes __GFP_ATOMIC
- allows __GFP_HIGH allocations to ignore watermark boosting as well
as GFP_ATOMIC requests.
- makes other adjustments as suggested by the above.
The net result is not change to GFP_ATOMIC allocations. Other
allocations that use __GFP_HIGH will benefit from a few different extra
privileges. This affects:
xen, dm, md, ntfs3
the vermillion frame buffer
hibernation
ksm
swap
all of which likely produce more benefit than cost if these selected
allocation are more likely to succeed quickly.

Commit 4beba9486abd ("mm: Add PG_arch_2 page flag") introduced a new
page flag for all 64-bit architectures. However, even if an architecture
is 64-bit, it may still have limited spare bits in the 'flags' member of
'struct page'. This may happen if an architecture enables SPARSEMEM
without SPARSEMEM_VMEMMAP as is the case with the newly added loongarch.
This architecture port needs 19 more bits for the sparsemem section
information and, while it is currently fine with PG_arch_2, adding any
more PG_arch_* flags will trigger build-time warnings.
Add a new CONFIG_ARCH_USES_PG_ARCH_X option which can be selected by
architectures that need more PG_arch_* flags beyond PG_arch_1. Select it
on arm64.

Add a new GFP flag __GFP_SKIP_ZERO that allows to skip memory
initialization. The flag is only effective with HW_TAGS KASAN.
This flag will be used by vmalloc code for page_alloc allocations backing
vmalloc() mappings in a following patch. The reason to skip memory
initialization for these pages in page_alloc is because vmalloc code will
be initializing them instead.
With the current implementation, when __GFP_SKIP_ZERO is provided,
__GFP_ZEROTAGS is ignored. This doesn't matter, as these two flags are
never provided at the same time. However, if this is changed in the
future, this particular implementation detail can be changed as well.

PG_idle and PG_young allow the two PTE Accessed bit users, Idle Page
Tracking and the reclaim logic concurrently work while not interfering
with each other. That is, when they need to clear the Accessed bit, they
set PG_young to represent the previous state of the bit, respectively.
And when they need to read the bit, if the bit is cleared, they further
read the PG_young to know whether the other has cleared the bit meanwhile
or not.
For yet another user of the PTE Accessed bit, we could add another page
flag, or extend the mechanism to use the flags. For the DAMON usecase,
however, we don't need to do that just yet. IDLE_PAGE_TRACKING and DAMON
are mutually exclusive, so there's only ever going to be one user of the
current set of flags.
In this commit, we split out the CONFIG options to allow for the use of
PG_young and PG_idle outside of idle page tracking.
In the next commit, DAMON's reference implementation of the virtual memory
address space monitoring primitives will use it.

Poisoning freed pages protects against kernel use-after-free. The
likelihood of such a bug involving kernel pages is significantly higher
than that for user pages. At the same time, poisoning freed pages can
impose a significant performance cost, which cannot always be justified
for user pages given the lower probability of finding a bug. Therefore,
disable freed user page poisoning when using HW tags. We identify
"user" pages via the flag set GFP_HIGHUSER_MOVABLE, which indicates
a strong likelihood of not being directly accessible to the kernel.

Patch series "userfaultfd: add minor fault handling", v9.
Overview
========
This series adds a new userfaultfd feature, UFFD_FEATURE_MINOR_HUGETLBFS.
When enabled (via the UFFDIO_API ioctl), this feature means that any
hugetlbfs VMAs registered with UFFDIO_REGISTER_MODE_MISSING will *also*
get events for "minor" faults. By "minor" fault, I mean the following
situation:
Let there exist two mappings (i.e., VMAs) to the same page(s) (shared
memory). One of the mappings is registered with userfaultfd (in minor
mode), and the other is not. Via the non-UFFD mapping, the underlying
pages have already been allocated & filled with some contents. The UFFD
mapping has not yet been faulted in; when it is touched for the first
time, this results in what I'm calling a "minor" fault. As a concrete
example, when working with hugetlbfs, we have huge_pte_none(), but
find_lock_page() finds an existing page.
We also add a new ioctl to resolve such faults: UFFDIO_CONTINUE. The idea
is, userspace resolves the fault by either a) doing nothing if the
contents are already correct, or b) updating the underlying contents using
the second, non-UFFD mapping (via memcpy/memset or similar, or something
fancier like RDMA, or etc...). In either case, userspace issues
UFFDIO_CONTINUE to tell the kernel "I have ensured the page contents are
correct, carry on setting up the mapping".
Use Case
========
Consider the use case of VM live migration (e.g. under QEMU/KVM):
1. While a VM is still running, we copy the contents of its memory to a
target machine. The pages are populated on the target by writing to the
non-UFFD mapping, using the setup described above. The VM is still running
(and therefore its memory is likely changing), so this may be repeated
several times, until we decide the target is "up to date enough".
2. We pause the VM on the source, and start executing on the target machine.
During this gap, the VM's user(s) will *see* a pause, so it is desirable to
minimize this window.
3. Between the last time any page was copied from the source to the target, and
when the VM was paused, the contents of that page may have changed - and
therefore the copy we have on the target machine is out of date. Although we
can keep track of which pages are out of date, for VMs with large amounts of
memory, it is "slow" to transfer this information to the target machine. We
want to resume execution before such a transfer would complete.
4. So, the guest begins executing on the target machine. The first time it
touches its memory (via the UFFD-registered mapping), userspace wants to
intercept this fault. Userspace checks whether or not the page is up to date,
and if not, copies the updated page from the source machine, via the non-UFFD
mapping. Finally, whether a copy was performed or not, userspace issues a
UFFDIO_CONTINUE ioctl to tell the kernel "I have ensured the page contents
are correct, carry on setting up the mapping".
We don't have to do all of the final updates on-demand. The userfaultfd manager
can, in the background, also copy over updated pages once it receives the map of
which pages are up-to-date or not.
Interaction with Existing APIs
==============================
Because this is a feature, a registered VMA could potentially receive both
missing and minor faults. I spent some time thinking through how the
existing API interacts with the new feature:
UFFDIO_CONTINUE cannot be used to resolve non-minor faults, as it does not
allocate a new page. If UFFDIO_CONTINUE is used on a non-minor fault:
- For non-shared memory or shmem, -EINVAL is returned.
- For hugetlb, -EFAULT is returned.
UFFDIO_COPY and UFFDIO_ZEROPAGE cannot be used to resolve minor faults.
Without modifications, the existing codepath assumes a new page needs to
be allocated. This is okay, since userspace must have a second
non-UFFD-registered mapping anyway, thus there isn't much reason to want
to use these in any case (just memcpy or memset or similar).
- If UFFDIO_COPY is used on a minor fault, -EEXIST is returned.
- If UFFDIO_ZEROPAGE is used on a minor fault, -EEXIST is returned (or -EINVAL
in the case of hugetlb, as UFFDIO_ZEROPAGE is unsupported in any case).
- UFFDIO_WRITEPROTECT simply doesn't work with shared memory, and returns
-ENOENT in that case (regardless of the kind of fault).
Future Work
===========
This series only supports hugetlbfs. I have a second series in flight to
support shmem as well, extending the functionality. This series is more
mature than the shmem support at this point, and the functionality works
fully on hugetlbfs, so this series can be merged first and then shmem
support will follow.
This patch (of 6):
This feature allows userspace to intercept "minor" faults. By "minor"
faults, I mean the following situation:
Let there exist two mappings (i.e., VMAs) to the same page(s). One of the
mappings is registered with userfaultfd (in minor mode), and the other is
not. Via the non-UFFD mapping, the underlying pages have already been
allocated & filled with some contents. The UFFD mapping has not yet been
faulted in; when it is touched for the first time, this results in what
I'm calling a "minor" fault. As a concrete example, when working with
hugetlbfs, we have huge_pte_none(), but find_lock_page() finds an existing
page.
This commit adds the new registration mode, and sets the relevant flag on
the VMAs being registered. In the hugetlb fault path, if we find that we
have huge_pte_none(), but find_lock_page() does indeed find an existing
page, then we have a "minor" fault, and if the VMA has the userfaultfd
registration flag, we call into userfaultfd to handle it.
This is implemented as a new registration mode, instead of an API feature.
This is because the alternative implementation has significant drawbacks
[1].
However, doing it this was requires we allocate a VM_* flag for the new
registration mode. On 32-bit systems, there are no unused bits, so this
feature is only supported on architectures with
CONFIG_ARCH_USES_HIGH_VMA_FLAGS. When attempting to register a VMA in
MINOR mode on 32-bit architectures, we return -EINVAL.

For arm64 MTE support it is necessary to be able to mark pages that
contain user space visible tags that will need to be saved/restored e.g.
when swapped out.
To support this add a new arch specific flag (PG_arch_2). This flag is
only available on 64-bit architectures due to the limited number of
spare page flags on the 32-bit ones.

ISA v3.1 does not support the SAO storage control attribute required to
implement PROT_SAO. PROT_SAO was used by specialised system software
(Lx86) that has been discontinued for about 7 years, and is not thought
to be used elsewhere, so removal should not cause problems.
We rather remove it than keep support for older processors, because
live migrating guest partitions to newer processors may not be possible
if SAO is in use (or worse allowed with silent races).
- PROT_SAO stays in the uapi header so code using it would still build.
- arch_validate_prot() is removed, the generic version rejects PROT_SAO
so applications would get a failure at mmap() time.

Refaults happen during transitions between workingsets as well as in-place
thrashing. Knowing the difference between the two has a range of
applications, including measuring the impact of memory shortage on the
system performance, as well as the ability to smarter balance pressure
between the filesystem cache and the swap-backed workingset.
During workingset transitions, inactive cache refaults and pushes out
established active cache. When that active cache isn't stale, however,
and also ends up refaulting, that's bonafide thrashing.
Introduce a new page flag that tells on eviction whether the page has been
active or not in its lifetime. This bit is then stored in the shadow
entry, to classify refaults as transitioning or thrashing.
How many page->flags does this leave us with on 32-bit?
20 bits are always page flags
21 if you have an MMU
23 with the zone bits for DMA, Normal, HighMem, Movable
29 with the sparsemem section bits
30 if PAE is enabled
31 with this patch.
So on 32-bit PAE, that leaves 1 bit for distinguishing two NUMA nodes. If
that's not enough, the system can switch to discontigmem and re-gain the 6
or 7 sparsemem section bits.

As the page free path makes no distinction between cache hot and cold
pages, there is no real useful ordering of pages in the free list that
allocation requests can take advantage of. Juding from the users of
__GFP_COLD, it is likely that a number of them are the result of copying
other sites instead of actually measuring the impact. Remove the
__GFP_COLD parameter which simplifies a number of paths in the page
allocator.
This is potentially controversial but bear in mind that the size of the
per-cpu pagelists versus modern cache sizes means that the whole per-cpu
list can often fit in the L3 cache. Hence, there is only a potential
benefit for microbenchmarks that alloc/free pages in a tight loop. It's
even worse when THP is taken into account which has little or no chance
of getting a cache-hot page as the per-cpu list is bypassed and the
zeroing of multiple pages will thrash the cache anyway.
The truncate microbenchmarks are not shown as this patch affects the
allocation path and not the free path. A page fault microbenchmark was
tested but it showed no sigificant difference which is not surprising
given that the __GFP_COLD branches are a miniscule percentage of the
fault path.

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.

GFP_TEMPORARY was introduced by commit e12ba74d8ff3 ("Group short-lived
and reclaimable kernel allocations") along with __GFP_RECLAIMABLE. It's
primary motivation was to allow users to tell that an allocation is
short lived and so the allocator can try to place such allocations close
together and prevent long term fragmentation. As much as this sounds
like a reasonable semantic it becomes much less clear when to use the
highlevel GFP_TEMPORARY allocation flag. How long is temporary? Can the
context holding that memory sleep? Can it take locks? It seems there is
no good answer for those questions.
The current implementation of GFP_TEMPORARY is basically GFP_KERNEL |
__GFP_RECLAIMABLE which in itself is tricky because basically none of
the existing caller provide a way to reclaim the allocated memory. So
this is rather misleading and hard to evaluate for any benefits.
I have checked some random users and none of them has added the flag
with a specific justification. I suspect most of them just copied from
other existing users and others just thought it might be a good idea to
use without any measuring. This suggests that GFP_TEMPORARY just
motivates for cargo cult usage without any reasoning.
I believe that our gfp flags are quite complex already and especially
those with highlevel semantic should be clearly defined to prevent from
confusion and abuse. Therefore I propose dropping GFP_TEMPORARY and
replace all existing users to simply use GFP_KERNEL. Please note that
SLAB users with shrinkers will still get __GFP_RECLAIMABLE heuristic and
so they will be placed properly for memory fragmentation prevention.
I can see reasons we might want some gfp flag to reflect shorterm
allocations but I propose starting from a clear semantic definition and
only then add users with proper justification.
This was been brought up before LSF this year by Matthew [1] and it
turned out that GFP_TEMPORARY really doesn't have a clear semantic. It
seems to be a heuristic without any measured advantage for most (if not
all) its current users. The follow up discussion has revealed that
opinions on what might be temporary allocation differ a lot between
developers. So rather than trying to tweak existing users into a
semantic which they haven't expected I propose to simply remove the flag
and start from scratch if we really need a semantic for short term
allocations.

Introduce MADV_WIPEONFORK semantics, which result in a VMA being empty
in the child process after fork. This differs from MADV_DONTFORK in one
important way.
If a child process accesses memory that was MADV_WIPEONFORK, it will get
zeroes. The address ranges are still valid, they are just empty.
If a child process accesses memory that was MADV_DONTFORK, it will get a
segmentation fault, since those address ranges are no longer valid in
the child after fork.
Since MADV_DONTFORK also seems to be used to allow very large programs
to fork in systems with strict memory overcommit restrictions, changing
the semantics of MADV_DONTFORK might break existing programs.
MADV_WIPEONFORK only works on private, anonymous VMAs.
The use case is libraries that store or cache information, and want to
know that they need to regenerate it in the child process after fork.
Examples of this would be:
- systemd/pulseaudio API checks (fail after fork) (replacing a getpid
check, which is too slow without a PID cache)
- PKCS#11 API reinitialization check (mandated by specification)
- glibc's upcoming PRNG (reseed after fork)
- OpenSSL PRNG (reseed after fork)
The security benefits of a forking server having a re-inialized PRNG in
every child process are pretty obvious. However, due to libraries
having all kinds of internal state, and programs getting compiled with
many different versions of each library, it is unreasonable to expect
calling programs to re-initialize everything manually after fork.
A further complication is the proliferation of clone flags, programs
bypassing glibc's functions to call clone directly, and programs calling
unshare, causing the glibc pthread_atfork hook to not get called.
It would be better to have the kernel take care of this automatically.
The patch also adds MADV_KEEPONFORK, to undo the effects of a prior
MADV_WIPEONFORK.
This is similar to the OpenBSD minherit syscall with MAP_INHERIT_ZERO:

semantic
__GFP_REPEAT was designed to allow retry-but-eventually-fail semantic to
the page allocator. This has been true but only for allocations
requests larger than PAGE_ALLOC_COSTLY_ORDER. It has been always
ignored for smaller sizes. This is a bit unfortunate because there is
no way to express the same semantic for those requests and they are
considered too important to fail so they might end up looping in the
page allocator for ever, similarly to GFP_NOFAIL requests.
Now that the whole tree has been cleaned up and accidental or misled
usage of __GFP_REPEAT flag has been removed for !costly requests we can
give the original flag a better name and more importantly a more useful
semantic. Let's rename it to __GFP_RETRY_MAYFAIL which tells the user
that the allocator would try really hard but there is no promise of a
success. This will work independent of the order and overrides the
default allocator behavior. Page allocator users have several levels of
guarantee vs. cost options (take GFP_KERNEL as an example)
- GFP_KERNEL & ~__GFP_RECLAIM - optimistic allocation without _any_
attempt to free memory at all. The most light weight mode which even
doesn't kick the background reclaim. Should be used carefully because
it might deplete the memory and the next user might hit the more
aggressive reclaim
- GFP_KERNEL & ~__GFP_DIRECT_RECLAIM (or GFP_NOWAIT)- optimistic
allocation without any attempt to free memory from the current
context but can wake kswapd to reclaim memory if the zone is below
the low watermark. Can be used from either atomic contexts or when
the request is a performance optimization and there is another
fallback for a slow path.
- (GFP_KERNEL|__GFP_HIGH) & ~__GFP_DIRECT_RECLAIM (aka GFP_ATOMIC) -
non sleeping allocation with an expensive fallback so it can access
some portion of memory reserves. Usually used from interrupt/bh
context with an expensive slow path fallback.
- GFP_KERNEL - both background and direct reclaim are allowed and the
_default_ page allocator behavior is used. That means that !costly
allocation requests are basically nofail but there is no guarantee of
that behavior so failures have to be checked properly by callers
(e.g. OOM killer victim is allowed to fail currently).
- GFP_KERNEL | __GFP_NORETRY - overrides the default allocator behavior
and all allocation requests fail early rather than cause disruptive
reclaim (one round of reclaim in this implementation). The OOM killer
is not invoked.
- GFP_KERNEL | __GFP_RETRY_MAYFAIL - overrides the default allocator
behavior and all allocation requests try really hard. The request
will fail if the reclaim cannot make any progress. The OOM killer
won't be triggered.
- GFP_KERNEL | __GFP_NOFAIL - overrides the default allocator behavior
and all allocation requests will loop endlessly until they succeed.
This might be really dangerous especially for larger orders.
Existing users of __GFP_REPEAT are changed to __GFP_RETRY_MAYFAIL
because they already had their semantic. No new users are added.
__alloc_pages_slowpath is changed to bail out for __GFP_RETRY_MAYFAIL if
there is no progress and we have already passed the OOM point.
This means that all the reclaim opportunities have been exhausted except
the most disruptive one (the OOM killer) and a user defined fallback
behavior is more sensible than keep retrying in the page allocator.

After enabling CONFIG_TRACE_ENUM_MAP_FILE (which will soon be renamed to
CONFIG_TRACE_EVAL_MAP_FILE), I am able to examine the enums that have
been evaluated:
# cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/enum_map
(which will soon be renamed to eval_map)
And it showed some interesting results:
[..]
ZONE_MOVABLE 3 (oom)
ZONE_NORMAL 2 (oom)
ZONE_DMA32 1 (oom)
ZONE_DMA 0 (oom)
3 3 (oom)
2 2 (oom)
1 1 (oom)
COMPACT_PRIO_ASYNC 2 (oom)
COMPACT_PRIO_SYNC_LIGHT 1 (oom)
COMPACT_PRIO_SYNC_FULL 0 (oom)
[..]
ZONE_DMA 0 (vmscan)
3 3 (vmscan)
2 2 (vmscan)
1 1 (vmscan)
COMPACT_PRIO_ASYNC 2 (vmscan)
[..]
ZONE_DMA 0 (kmem)
3 3 (kmem)
2 2 (kmem)
1 1 (kmem)
COMPACT_PRIO_ASYNC 2 (kmem)
[..]
ZONE_DMA 0 (compaction)
3 3 (compaction)
2 2 (compaction)
1 1 (compaction)
COMPACT_PRIO_ASYNC 2 (compaction)
[..]
The name within the parenthesis are the trace systems that the enum/eval
maps are associated with. When there's a number evaluated to another
number, that tells me that the TRACE_DEFINE_ENUM() was used on a #define
and not an enum. As #defines get converted normally, they are not needed
to be evaluated.
Each of the above trace systems with the number to number evaluation
included the file include/trace/events/mmflags.h which has:
/* High-level compaction status feedback */
#define COMPACTION_FAILED 1
#define COMPACTION_WITHDRAWN 2
#define COMPACTION_PROGRESS 3
[..]
#define COMPACTION_FEEDBACK \
EM(COMPACTION_FAILED, "failed") \
EM(COMPACTION_WITHDRAWN, "withdrawn") \
EMe(COMPACTION_PROGRESS, "progress")
Which is still needed for the __print_symbolic() usage in the
trace_event. But it is not needed to be evaluated.
Removing the evaluation part removes the unnecessary evaluations of
numbers to numbers.

mm_vmscan_lru_isolate currently prints only whether the LRU we isolate
from is file or anonymous but we do not know which LRU this is.
It is useful to know whether the list is active or inactive, since we
are using the same function to isolate pages from both of them and it's
hard to distinguish otherwise.

Higher order requests oom debugging is currently quite hard. We do have
some compaction points which can tell us how the compaction is operating
but there is no trace point to tell us about compaction retry logic.
This patch adds a one which will have the following format
bash-3126 [001] .... 1498.220001: compact_retry: order=9 priority=COMPACT_PRIO_SYNC_LIGHT compaction_result=withdrawn retries=0 max_retries=16 should_retry=0
we can see that the order 9 request is not retried even though we are in
the highest compaction priority mode becase the last compaction attempt
was withdrawn. This means that compaction_zonelist_suitable must have
returned false and there is no suitable zone to compact for this request
and so no need to retry further.
another example would be
<...>-3137 [001] .... 81.501689: compact_retry: order=9 priority=COMPACT_PRIO_SYNC_LIGHT compaction_result=failed retries=0 max_retries=16 should_retry=0
in this case the order-9 compaction failed to find any suitable block.
We do not retry anymore because this is a costly request and those do
not go below COMPACT_PRIO_SYNC_LIGHT priority.

COMPACTION_STATUS resp. ZONE_TYPE are currently used to translate enum
compact_result resp. struct zone index into their symbolic names for an
easier post processing. The follow up patch would like to reuse this as
well. The code involves some preprocessor black magic which is better not
duplicated elsewhere so move it to a common mm tracing relate header.
