Currently the printk safe buffers provide a form of recursion protection by redirecting to the safe buffers whenever printk() is recursively called. In preparation for removal of the safe buffers, provide an alternate explicit recursion protection. Recursion is limited to 3 levels per-CPU and per-context.

Currently the nmi_backtrace is serialized against other CPUs because the messages are sent to the NMI buffers. Once these buffers are removed, only the dumped stack will be serialized against other CPUs (via the printk_cpu_lock). Also serialize the nmi_backtrace banner and regs using the printk_cpu_lock so that per-CPU serialization will be preserved even after the NMI buffers are removed.

This allows us to utilize the more efficient architected timer on certain ARM SoCs for normal operation instead of permanentely using the slow to access SoC specific clockevent device. - Print the name of the broadcast/wakeup device in /proc/timer_list - Make the clocksource watchdog more robust against delays between reading the current active clocksource and the watchdog clocksource. Such delays can be caused by NMIs, SMIs and vCPU preemption. Handle this by reading the watchdog clocksource twice, i.e. before and after reading the current active clocksource. In case that the two watchdog reads shows an excessive time delta, the read sequence is repeated up to 3 times. - Improve the debug output and add a test module for the watchdog mechanism. - Reimplementation of the venerable time64_to_tm() function with a faster and significantly smaller version.

__get_hwpoison_page() could fail to grab refcount by some race condition, so it's helpful if we can handle it by retrying. We already have retry logic, so make get_hwpoison_page() call get_any_page() when called from memory_failure(). As a result, get_hwpoison_page() can return negative values (i.e. error code), so some callers are also changed to handle error cases. soft_offline_page() does nothing for -EBUSY because that's enough and users in userspace can easily handle it. unpoison_memory() is also unchanged because it's broken and need thorough fixes (will be done later).

Now an action required MCE in already hwpoisoned address surely sends a SIGBUS to current process, but the SIGBUS doesn't convey error virtual address. That's not optimal for hwpoison-aware applications. To fix the issue, make memory_failure() call kill_accessing_process(), that does pagetable walk to find the error virtual address. It could find multiple virtual addresses for the same error page, and it seems hard to tell which virtual address is correct one. But that's rare and sending incorrect virtual address could be better than no address. So let's report the first found virtual address for now.

Dave Hansen reported the following about Feng Tang's tests on a machine with persistent memory onlined as a DRAM-like device. Feng Tang tossed these on a "Cascade Lake" system with 96 threads and ~512G of persistent memory and 128G of DRAM. The PMEM is in "volatile use" mode and being managed via the buddy just like the normal RAM. The PMEM zones are big ones: present 65011712 = 248 G high 134595 = 525 M The PMEM nodes, of course, don't have any CPUs in them. With your series, the pcp->high value per-cpu is 69584 pages or about 270MB per CPU. Scaled up by the 96 CPU threads, that's ~26GB of worst-case memory in the pcps per zone, or roughly 10% of the size of the zone. This should not cause a problem as such although it could trigger reclaim due to pages being stored on per-cpu lists for CPUs remote to a node. It is not possible to treat cpuless nodes exactly the same as normal nodes but the worst-case scenario can be mitigated by splitting pcp->high across all online CPUs for cpuless memory nodes.

The per-cpu page allocator (PCP) only stores order-0 pages. This means that all THP and "cheap" high-order allocations including SLUB contends on the zone->lock. This patch extends the PCP allocator to store THP and "cheap" high-order pages. Note that struct per_cpu_pages increases in size to 256 bytes (4 cache lines) on x86-64. Note that this is not necessarily a universal performance win because of how it is implemented. High-order pages can cause pcp->high to be exceeded prematurely for lower-orders so for example, a large number of THP pages being freed could release order-0 pages from the PCP lists. Hence, much depends on the allocation/free pattern as observed by a single CPU to determine if caching helps or hurts a particular workload. That said, basic performance testing passed. The following is a netperf UDP_STREAM test which hits the relevant patches as some of the network allocations are high-order. netperf-udp 5.13.0-rc2 5.13.0-rc2 mm-pcpburst-v3r4 mm-pcphighorder-v1r7 Hmean send-64 261.46 ( 0.00%) 266.30 * 1.85%* Hmean send-128 516.35 ( 0.00%) 536.78 * 3.96%* Hmean send-256 1014.13 ( 0.00%) 1034.63 * 2.02%* Hmean send-1024 3907.65 ( 0.00%) 4046.11 * 3.54%* Hmean send-2048 7492.93 ( 0.00%) 7754.85 * 3.50%* Hmean send-3312 11410.04 ( 0.00%) 11772.32 * 3.18%* Hmean send-4096 13521.95 ( 0.00%) 13912.34 * 2.89%* Hmean send-8192 21660.50 ( 0.00%) 22730.72 * 4.94%* Hmean send-16384 31902.32 ( 0.00%) 32637.50 * 2.30%* Functionally, a patch like this is necessary to make bulk allocation of high-order pages work with similar performance to order-0 bulk allocations. The bulk allocator is not updated in this series as it would have to be determined by bulk allocation users how they want to track the order of pages allocated with the bulk allocator.

Patch series "Remove DISCONTIGMEM memory model", v3. SPARSEMEM memory model was supposed to entirely replace DISCONTIGMEM a (long) while ago. The last architectures that used DISCONTIGMEM were updated to use other memory models in v5.11 and it is about the time to entirely remove DISCONTIGMEM from the kernel. This set removes DISCONTIGMEM from alpha, arc and m68k, simplifies memory model selection in mm/Kconfig and replaces usage of redundant CONFIG_NEED_MULTIPLE_NODES and CONFIG_FLAT_NODE_MEM_MAP with CONFIG_NUMA and CONFIG_FLATMEM respectively. I've also removed NUMA support on alpha that was BROKEN for more than 15 years. There were also minor updates all over arch/ to remove mentions of DISCONTIGMEM in comments and #ifdefs. This patch (of 9): NUMA is marked broken on alpha for more than 15 years and DISCONTIGMEM was replaced with SPARSEMEM in v5.11. Remove both NUMA and DISCONTIGMEM support from alpha.

Patch series "Allow high order pages to be stored on PCP", v2. The per-cpu page allocator (PCP) only handles order-0 pages. With the series "Use local_lock for pcp protection and reduce stat overhead" and "Calculate pcp->high based on zone sizes and active CPUs", it's now feasible to store high-order pages on PCP lists. This small series allows PCP to store "cheap" orders where cheap is determined by PAGE_ALLOC_COSTLY_ORDER and THP-sized allocations. This patch (of 2): In the next page, free_compount_page is going to use the common helper free_the_page. This patch moves the definition to ease review. No functional change.

This introduces a new sysctl vm.percpu_pagelist_high_fraction. It is similar to the old vm.percpu_pagelist_fraction. The old sysctl increased both pcp->batch and pcp->high with the higher pcp->high potentially reducing zone->lock contention. However, the higher pcp->batch value also potentially increased allocation latency while the PCP was refilled. This sysctl only adjusts pcp->high so that zone->lock contention is potentially reduced but allocation latency during a PCP refill remains the same. # grep -E "high:|batch" /proc/zoneinfo | tail -2 high: 649 batch: 63 # sysctl vm.percpu_pagelist_high_fraction=8 # grep -E "high:|batch" /proc/zoneinfo | tail -2 high: 35071 batch: 63 # sysctl vm.percpu_pagelist_high_fraction=64 high: 4383 batch: 63 # sysctl vm.percpu_pagelist_high_fraction=0 high: 649 batch: 63 [mgorman@techsingularity.net: fix documentation] Link: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20210528151010.GQ30378@techsingularity.net Link: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20210525080119.5455-7-mgorman@techsingularity.netSigned-off-by: Mel Gorman <mgorman@techsingularity.net> Acked-by: Dave Hansen <dave.hansen@linux.intel.com> Acked-by: Vlastimil Babka <vbabka@suse.cz> Cc: Hillf Danton <hdanton@sina.com> Cc: Michal Hocko <mhocko@kernel.org> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

When a task is freeing a large number of order-0 pages, it may acquire the zone->lock multiple times freeing pages in batches.

The pcp high watermark is based on the batch size but there is no relationship between them other than it is convenient to use early in boot. This patch takes the first step and bases pcp->high on the zone low watermark split across the number of CPUs local to a zone while the batch size remains the same to avoid increasing allocation latencies. The intent behind the default pcp->high is "set the number of PCP pages such that if they are all full that background reclaim is not started prematurely". Note that in this patch the pcp->high values are adjusted after memory hotplug events, min_free_kbytes adjustments and watermark scale factor adjustments but not CPU hotplug events which is handled later in the series. On a test KVM instance; Before grep -E "high:|batch" /proc/zoneinfo | tail -2 high: 378 batch: 63 After grep -E "high:|batch" /proc/zoneinfo | tail -2 high: 649 batch: 63 [mgorman@techsingularity.net: fix __setup_per_zone_wmarks for parallel memory hotplug] Link: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20210528105925.GN30378@techsingularity.net Link: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20210525080119.5455-3-mgorman@techsingularity.netSigned-off-by: Mel Gorman <mgorman@techsingularity.net> Acked-by: Vlastimil Babka <vbabka@suse.cz> Cc: Dave Hansen <dave.hansen@linux.intel.com> Cc: Hillf Danton <hdanton@sina.com> Cc: Michal Hocko <mhocko@kernel.org> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

Patch series "Calculate pcp->high based on zone sizes and active CPUs", v2. The per-cpu page allocator (PCP) is meant to reduce contention on the zone lock but the sizing of batch and high is archaic and neither takes the zone size into account or the number of CPUs local to a zone. With larger zones and more CPUs per node, the contention is getting worse. Furthermore, the fact that vm.percpu_pagelist_fraction adjusts both batch and high values means that the sysctl can reduce zone lock contention but also increase allocation latencies. This series disassociates pcp->high from pcp->batch and then scales pcp->high based on the size of the local zone with limited impact to reclaim and accounting for active CPUs but leaves pcp->batch static. It also adapts the number of pages that can be on the pcp list based on recent freeing patterns. The motivation is partially to adjust to larger memory sizes but is also driven by the fact that large batches of page freeing via release_pages() often shows zone contention as a major part of the problem. Another is a bug report based on an older kernel where a multi-terabyte process can takes several minutes to exit. A workaround was to use vm.percpu_pagelist_fraction to increase the pcp->high value but testing indicated that a production workload could not use the same values because of an increase in allocation latencies. Unfortunately, I cannot reproduce this test case myself as the multi-terabyte machines are in active use but it should alleviate the problem. The series aims to address both and partially acts as a pre-requisite. pcp only works with order-0 which is useless for SLUB (when using high orders) and THP (unconditionally). To store high-order pages on PCP, the pcp->high values need to be increased first. This patch (of 6): The vm.percpu_pagelist_fraction is used to increase the batch and high limits for the per-cpu page allocator (PCP). The intent behind the sysctl is to reduce zone lock acquisition when allocating/freeing pages but it has a problem. While it can decrease contention, it can also increase latency on the allocation side due to unreasonably large batch sizes. This leads to games where an administrator adjusts percpu_pagelist_fraction on the fly to work around contention and allocation latency problems. This series aims to alleviate the problems with zone lock contention while avoiding the allocation-side latency problems. For the purposes of review, it's easier to remove this sysctl now and reintroduce a similar sysctl later in the series that deals only with pcp->high.
