Patch series "mm: Page fault accounting cleanups", v5.
This is v5 of the pf accounting cleanup series. It originates from Gerald
Schaefer's report on an issue a week ago regarding to incorrect page fault
accountings for retried page fault after commit 4064b9827063 ("mm: allow
VM_FAULT_RETRY for multiple times"):
https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20200610174811.44b94525@thinkpad/
What this series did:
- Correct page fault accounting: we do accounting for a page fault
(no matter whether it's from #PF handling, or gup, or anything else)
only with the one that completed the fault. For example, page fault
retries should not be counted in page fault counters. Same to the
perf events.
- Unify definition of PERF_COUNT_SW_PAGE_FAULTS: currently this perf
event is used in an adhoc way across different archs.
Case (1): for many archs it's done at the entry of a page fault
handler, so that it will also cover e.g. errornous faults.
Case (2): for some other archs, it is only accounted when the page
fault is resolved successfully.
Case (3): there're still quite some archs that have not enabled
this perf event.
Since this series will touch merely all the archs, we unify this
perf event to always follow case (1), which is the one that makes most
sense. And since we moved the accounting into handle_mm_fault, the
other two MAJ/MIN perf events are well taken care of naturally.
- Unify definition of "major faults": the definition of "major
fault" is slightly changed when used in accounting (not
VM_FAULT_MAJOR). More information in patch 1.
- Always account the page fault onto the one that triggered the page
fault. This does not matter much for #PF handlings, but mostly for
gup. More information on this in patch 25.
Patchset layout:
Patch 1: Introduced the accounting in handle_mm_fault(), not enabled.
Patch 2-23: Enable the new accounting for arch #PF handlers one by one.
Patch 24: Enable the new accounting for the rest outliers (gup, iommu, etc.)
Patch 25: Cleanup GUP task_struct pointer since it's not needed any more
This patch (of 25):
This is a preparation patch to move page fault accountings into the
general code in handle_mm_fault(). This includes both the per task
flt_maj/flt_min counters, and the major/minor page fault perf events. To
do this, the pt_regs pointer is passed into handle_mm_fault().
PERF_COUNT_SW_PAGE_FAULTS should still be kept in per-arch page fault
handlers.
So far, all the pt_regs pointer that passed into handle_mm_fault() is
NULL, which means this patch should have no intented functional change.

This is to introduce a general dummy helper. memory_add_physaddr_to_nid()
is a fallback option to get the nid in case NUMA_NO_NID is detected.
After this patch, arm64/sh/s390 can simply use the general dummy version.
PowerPC/x86/ia64 will still use their specific version.
This is the preparation to set a fallback value for dev_dax->target_node.

Some of our servers spend significant time at kernel boot initializing
memory block sysfs directories and then creating symlinks between them and
the corresponding nodes. The slowness happens because the machines get
stuck with the smallest supported memory block size on x86 (128M), which
results in 16,288 directories to cover the 2T of installed RAM. The
search for each memory block is noticeable even with commit 4fb6eabf1037
("drivers/base/memory.c: cache memory blocks in xarray to accelerate
lookup").
Commit 078eb6aa50dc ("x86/mm/memory_hotplug: determine block size based on
the end of boot memory") chooses the block size based on alignment with
memory end. That addresses hotplug failures in qemu guests, but for bare
metal systems whose memory end isn't aligned to even the smallest size, it
leaves them at 128M.
Make kernels that aren't running on a hypervisor use the largest supported
size (2G) to minimize overhead on big machines. Kernel boot goes 7%
faster on the aforementioned servers, shaving off half a second.

Pull locking updates from Thomas Gleixner:
"A set of locking fixes and updates:
- Untangle the header spaghetti which causes build failures in
various situations caused by the lockdep additions to seqcount to
validate that the write side critical sections are non-preemptible.
- The seqcount associated lock debug addons which were blocked by the
above fallout.
seqcount writers contrary to seqlock writers must be externally
serialized, which usually happens via locking - except for strict
per CPU seqcounts. As the lock is not part of the seqcount, lockdep
cannot validate that the lock is held.
This new debug mechanism adds the concept of associated locks.
sequence count has now lock type variants and corresponding
initializers which take a pointer to the associated lock used for
writer serialization. If lockdep is enabled the pointer is stored
and write_seqcount_begin() has a lockdep assertion to validate that
the lock is held.
Aside of the type and the initializer no other code changes are
required at the seqcount usage sites. The rest of the seqcount API
is unchanged and determines the type at compile time with the help
of _Generic which is possible now that the minimal GCC version has
been moved up.
Adding this lockdep coverage unearthed a handful of seqcount bugs
which have been addressed already independent of this.
While generally useful this comes with a Trojan Horse twist: On RT
kernels the write side critical section can become preemtible if
the writers are serialized by an associated lock, which leads to
the well known reader preempts writer livelock. RT prevents this by
storing the associated lock pointer independent of lockdep in the
seqcount and changing the reader side to block on the lock when a
reader detects that a writer is in the write side critical section.
- Conversion of seqcount usage sites to associated types and
initializers"

After removal of CONFIG_HAVE_MEMBLOCK_NODE_MAP we have two equivalent
functions that call memory_present() for each region in memblock.memory:
sparse_memory_present_with_active_regions() and membocks_present().
Moreover, all architectures have a call to either of these functions
preceding the call to sparse_init() and in the most cases they are called
one after the other.
Mark the regions from memblock.memory as present during sparce_init() by
making sparse_init() call memblocks_present(), make memblocks_present()
and memory_present() functions static and remove redundant
sparse_memory_present_with_active_regions() function.
Also remove no longer required HAVE_MEMORY_PRESENT configuration option.

There are many instances where vmemap allocation is often switched between
regular memory and device memory just based on whether altmap is available
or not. vmemmap_alloc_block_buf() is used in various platforms to
allocate vmemmap mappings. Lets also enable it to handle altmap based
device memory allocation along with existing regular memory allocations.
This will help in avoiding the altmap based allocation switch in many
places. To summarize there are two different methods to call
vmemmap_alloc_block_buf().
vmemmap_alloc_block_buf(size, node, NULL) /* Allocate from system RAM */
vmemmap_alloc_block_buf(size, node, altmap) /* Allocate from altmap */
This converts altmap_alloc_block_buf() into a static function, drops it's
entry from the header and updates Documentation/vm/memory-model.rst.

Patch series "arm64: Enable vmemmap mapping from device memory", v4.
This series enables vmemmap backing memory allocation from device memory
ranges on arm64. But before that, it enables vmemmap_populate_basepages()
and vmemmap_alloc_block_buf() to accommodate struct vmem_altmap based
alocation requests.
This patch (of 3):
vmemmap_populate_basepages() is used across platforms to allocate backing
memory for vmemmap mapping. This is used as a standard default choice or
as a fallback when intended huge pages allocation fails. This just
creates entire vmemmap mapping with base pages (PAGE_SIZE).
On arm64 platforms, vmemmap_populate_basepages() is called instead of the
platform specific vmemmap_populate() when ARM64_SWAPPER_USES_SECTION_MAPS
is not enabled as in case for ARM64_16K_PAGES and ARM64_64K_PAGES configs.
At present vmemmap_populate_basepages() does not support allocating from
driver defined struct vmem_altmap while trying to create vmemmap mapping
for a device memory range. It prevents ARM64_16K_PAGES and
ARM64_64K_PAGES configs on arm64 from supporting device memory with
vmemap_altmap request.
This enables vmem_altmap support in vmemmap_populate_basepages() unlocking
device memory allocation for vmemap mapping on arm64 platforms with 16K or
64K base page configs.
Each architecture should evaluate and decide on subscribing device memory
based base page allocation through vmemmap_populate_basepages(). Hence
lets keep it disabled on all archs in order to preserve the existing
semantics. A subsequent patch enables it on arm64.

Patch series "mm: cleanup usage of <asm/pgalloc.h>"
Most architectures have very similar versions of pXd_alloc_one() and
pXd_free_one() for intermediate levels of page table. These patches add
generic versions of these functions in <asm-generic/pgalloc.h> and enable
use of the generic functions where appropriate.
In addition, functions declared and defined in <asm/pgalloc.h> headers are
used mostly by core mm and early mm initialization in arch and there is no
actual reason to have the <asm/pgalloc.h> included all over the place.
The first patch in this series removes unneeded includes of
<asm/pgalloc.h>
In the end it didn't work out as neatly as I hoped and moving
pXd_alloc_track() definitions to <asm-generic/pgalloc.h> would require
unnecessary changes to arches that have custom page table allocations, so
I've decided to move lib/ioremap.c to mm/ and make pgalloc-track.h local
to mm/.
This patch (of 8):
In most cases <asm/pgalloc.h> header is required only for allocations of
page table memory. Most of the .c files that include that header do not
use symbols declared in <asm/pgalloc.h> and do not require that header.
As for the other header files that used to include <asm/pgalloc.h>, it is
possible to move that include into the .c file that actually uses symbols
from <asm/pgalloc.h> and drop the include from the header file.
The process was somewhat automated using
sed -i -E '/[<"]asm\/pgalloc\.h/d' \
$(grep -L -w -f /tmp/xx \
$(git grep -E -l '[<"]asm/pgalloc\.h'))
where /tmp/xx contains all the symbols defined in
arch/*/include/asm/pgalloc.h.

The code for preallocate_vmalloc_pages() was written under the
assumption that the p4d_offset() and pud_offset() functions will perform
present checks before dereferencing the parent entries.
This assumption is wrong an leads to a bug in the code which causes the
physical address found in the PGD be used as a page-table page, even if
the PGD is not present.
So the code flow currently is:
pgd = pgd_offset_k(addr);
p4d = p4d_offset(pgd, addr);
if (p4d_none(*p4d))
p4d = p4d_alloc(&init_mm, pgd, addr);
This lacks a check for pgd_none() at least, the correct flow would be:
pgd = pgd_offset_k(addr);
if (pgd_none(*pgd))
p4d = p4d_alloc(&init_mm, pgd, addr);
else
p4d = p4d_offset(pgd, addr);
But this is the same flow that the p4d_alloc() and the pud_alloc()
functions use internally, so there is no need to duplicate them.
Remove the p?d_none() checks from the function and just call into
p4d_alloc() and pud_alloc() to correctly pre-allocate the PGD entries.

This reverts commit 8bb9bf242d1fee925636353807c511d54fde8986.
It seems the vmalloc page tables aren't always preallocated in all
situations, because Jason Donenfeld reports an oops with this commit:
BUG: unable to handle page fault for address: ffffe8ffffd00608
#PF: supervisor read access in kernel mode

and that page fault address is right in that vmalloc space, and we
clearly don't have a PGD/P4D entry for it.
Looking at the "Code:" line, the actual fault seems to come from the
'pwq->wq' dereference at the top of the process_one_work() function:
struct pool_workqueue *pwq = get_work_pwq(work);
struct worker_pool *pool = worker->pool;
bool cpu_intensive = pwq->wq->flags & WQ_CPU_INTENSIVE;
so 'struct pool_workqueue *pwq' is the allocation that hasn't been
synchronized across CPUs.
Just revert for now, while Joerg figures out the cause.

By using lockdep_assert_*() from seqlock.h, the spaghetti monster
attacked.
Attack back by reducing seqlock.h dependencies from two key high level headers:
- <linux/seqlock.h>: -Remove <linux/ww_mutex.h>
- <linux/time.h>: -Remove <linux/seqlock.h>
- <linux/sched.h>: +Add <linux/seqlock.h>
The price was to add it to sched.h ...
Core header fallout, we add direct header dependencies instead of gaining them
parasitically from higher level headers:
- <linux/dynamic_queue_limits.h>: +Add <asm/bug.h>
- <linux/hrtimer.h>: +Add <linux/seqlock.h>

- <linux/lockdep.h>: +Add <linux/smp.h>
- <linux/sched.h>: +Add <linux/seqlock.h>
- <linux/videodev2.h>: +Add <linux/kernel.h>
Arch headers fallout:
- PARISC: <asm/timex.h>: +Add <asm/special_insns.h>
- SH: <asm/io.h>: +Add <asm/page.h>
- SPARC: <asm/timer_64.h>: +Add <uapi/asm/asi.h>

PUD for 4-level paging.
Doing this at boot makes sure no synchronization of that area is
necessary at runtime. The synchronization takes the pgd_lock and
iterates over all page-tables in the system, so it can take quite long
and is better avoided.

Using uninitialized_var() is dangerous as it papers over real bugs[1]
(or can in the future), and suppresses unrelated compiler warnings (e.g.
"unused variable"). If the compiler thinks it is uninitialized, either
simply initialize the variable or make compiler changes. As a precursor
to removing[2] this[3] macro[4], refactor code to avoid its need.
The original reason for its use here was to work around the #ifdef
being the only place the variable was used. This is better expressed
using IS_ENABLED() and a new code block where the variable can be used
unconditionally.

Some Makefiles already pass -fno-stack-protector unconditionally.
For example, arch/arm64/kernel/vdso/Makefile, arch/x86/xen/Makefile.
No problem report so far about hard-coding this option. So, we can
assume all supported compilers know -fno-stack-protector.
GCC 4.8 and Clang support this option (https://godbolt.org/z/_HDGzN)
Get rid of cc-option from -fno-stack-protector.
Remove CONFIG_CC_HAS_STACKPROTECTOR_NONE, which is always 'y'.

Pull x86 entry updates from Thomas Gleixner:
"The x86 entry, exception and interrupt code rework
This all started about 6 month ago with the attempt to move the Posix
CPU timer heavy lifting out of the timer interrupt code and just have
lockless quick checks in that code path. Trivial 5 patches.
This unearthed an inconsistency in the KVM handling of task work and
the review requested to move all of this into generic code so other
architectures can share.
Valid request and solved with another 25 patches but those unearthed
inconsistencies vs. RCU and instrumentation.
Digging into this made it obvious that there are quite some
inconsistencies vs. instrumentation in general. The int3 text poke
handling in particular was completely unprotected and with the batched
update of trace events even more likely to expose to endless int3
recursion.
In parallel the RCU implications of instrumenting fragile entry code
came up in several discussions.
The conclusion of the x86 maintainer team was to go all the way and
make the protection against any form of instrumentation of fragile and
dangerous code pathes enforcable and verifiable by tooling.
A first batch of preparatory work hit mainline with commit
d5f744f9a2ac ("Pull x86 entry code updates from Thomas Gleixner")
That (almost) full solution introduced a new code section
'.noinstr.text' into which all code which needs to be protected from
instrumentation of all sorts goes into. Any call into instrumentable
code out of this section has to be annotated. objtool has support to
validate this.
Kprobes now excludes this section fully which also prevents BPF from
fiddling with it and all 'noinstr' annotated functions also keep
ftrace off. The section, kprobes and objtool changes are already
merged.
The major changes coming with this are:
- Preparatory cleanups
- Annotating of relevant functions to move them into the
noinstr.text section or enforcing inlining by marking them
__always_inline so the compiler cannot misplace or instrument
them.
- Splitting and simplifying the idtentry macro maze so that it is
now clearly separated into simple exception entries and the more
interesting ones which use interrupt stacks and have the paranoid
handling vs. CR3 and GS.
- Move quite some of the low level ASM functionality into C code:
- enter_from and exit to user space handling. The ASM code now
calls into C after doing the really necessary ASM handling and
the return path goes back out without bells and whistels in
ASM.
- exception entry/exit got the equivivalent treatment
- move all IRQ tracepoints from ASM to C so they can be placed as
appropriate which is especially important for the int3
recursion issue.
- Consolidate the declaration and definition of entry points between
32 and 64 bit. They share a common header and macros now.
- Remove the extra device interrupt entry maze and just use the
regular exception entry code.
- All ASM entry points except NMI are now generated from the shared
header file and the corresponding macros in the 32 and 64 bit
entry ASM.
- The C code entry points are consolidated as well with the help of
DEFINE_IDTENTRY*() macros. This allows to ensure at one central
point that all corresponding entry points share the same
semantics. The actual function body for most entry points is in an
instrumentable and sane state.
There are special macros for the more sensitive entry points, e.g.
INT3 and of course the nasty paranoid #NMI, #MCE, #DB and #DF.
They allow to put the whole entry instrumentation and RCU handling
into safe places instead of the previous pray that it is correct
approach.
- The INT3 text poke handling is now completely isolated and the
recursion issue banned. Aside of the entry rework this required
other isolation work, e.g. the ability to force inline bsearch.
- Prevent #DB on fragile entry code, entry relevant memory and
disable it on NMI, #MC entry, which allowed to get rid of the
nested #DB IST stack shifting hackery.
- A few other cleanups and enhancements which have been made
possible through this and already merged changes, e.g.
consolidating and further restricting the IDT code so the IDT
table becomes RO after init which removes yet another popular
attack vector
- About 680 lines of ASM maze are gone.
There are a few open issues:
- An escape out of the noinstr section in the MCE handler which needs
some more thought but under the aspect that MCE is a complete
trainwreck by design and the propability to survive it is low, this
was not high on the priority list.
- Paravirtualization
When PV is enabled then objtool complains about a bunch of indirect
calls out of the noinstr section. There are a few straight forward
ways to fix this, but the other issues vs. general correctness were
more pressing than parawitz.
- KVM
KVM is inconsistent as well. Patches have been posted, but they
have not yet been commented on or picked up by the KVM folks.
- IDLE
Pretty much the same problems can be found in the low level idle
code especially the parts where RCU stopped watching. This was
beyond the scope of the more obvious and exposable problems and is
on the todo list.
The lesson learned from this brain melting exercise to morph the
evolved code base into something which can be validated and understood
is that once again the violation of the most important engineering
principle "correctness first" has caused quite a few people to spend
valuable time on problems which could have been avoided in the first
place. The "features first" tinkering mindset really has to stop.
With that I want to say thanks to everyone involved in contributing to
this effort. Special thanks go to the following people (alphabetical
