mremap: remove LATENCY_LIMIT from mremap to reduce the number of TLB shootdowns · 37a4094e

Mel Gorman authored Jun 14, 2018

Commit 5d190420 ("mremap: fix race between mremap() and page
cleanning") fixed races between mremap and other operations for both
file-backed and anonymous mappings.  The file-backed was the most
critical as it allowed the possibility that data could be changed on a
physical page after page_mkclean returned which could trigger data loss
or data integrity issues.

A customer reported that the cost of the TLBs for anonymous regressions
was excessive and resulting in a 30-50% drop in performance overall
since this commit on a microbenchmark.  Unfortunately I neither have
access to the test-case nor can I describe what it does other than
saying that mremap operations dominate heavily.

This patch removes the LATENCY_LIMIT to handle TLB flushes on a PMD
boundary instead of every 64 pages to reduce the number of TLB
shootdowns by a factor of 8 in the ideal case.  LATENCY_LIMIT was almost
certainly used originally to limit the PTL hold times but the latency
savings are likely offset by the cost of IPIs in many cases.  This patch
is not reported to completely restore performance but gets it within an
acceptable percentage.  The given metric here is simply described as
"higher is better".

Baseline that was known good
002:  Metric:       91.05
004:  Metric:      109.45
008:  Metric:       73.08
016:  Metric:       58.14
032:  Metric:       61.09
064:  Metric:       57.76
128:  Metric:       55.43

Current
001:  Metric:       54.98
002:  Metric:       56.56
004:  Metric:       41.22
008:  Metric:       35.96
016:  Metric:       36.45
032:  Metric:       35.71
064:  Metric:       35.73
128:  Metric:       34.96

With patch
001:  Metric:       61.43
002:  Metric:       81.64
004:  Metric:       67.92
008:  Metric:       51.67
016:  Metric:       50.47
032:  Metric:       52.29
064:  Metric:       50.01
128:  Metric:       49.04

So for low threads, it's not restored but for larger number of threads,
it's closer to the "known good" baseline.

Using a different mremap-intensive workload that is not representative
of the real workload there is little difference observed outside of
noise in the headline metrics However, the TLB shootdowns are reduced by
11% on average and at the peak, TLB shootdowns were reduced by 21%.
Interrupts were sampled every second while the workload ran to get those
figures.  It's known that the figures will vary as the
non-representative load is non-deterministic.

An alternative patch was posted that should have significantly reduced
the TLB flushes but unfortunately it does not perform as well as this
version on the customer test case.  If revisited, the two patches can
stack on top of each other.

mm: check for SIGKILL inside dup_mmap() loop · 655c79bb

Tetsuo Handa authored Jun 14, 2018

As a theoretical problem, dup_mmap() of an mm_struct with 60000+ vmas
can loop while potentially allocating memory, with mm->mmap_sem held for
write by current thread.  This is bad if current thread was selected as
an OOM victim, for current thread will continue allocations using memory
reserves while OOM reaper is unable to reclaim memory.

As an actually observable problem, it is not difficult to make OOM
reaper unable to reclaim memory if the OOM victim is blocked at
i_mmap_lock_write() in this loop.  Unfortunately, since nobody can
explain whether it is safe to use killable wait there, let's check for
SIGKILL before trying to allocate memory.  Even without an OOM event,
there is no point with continuing the loop from the beginning if current
thread is killed.

I tested with debug printk().  This patch should be safe because we
already fail if security_vm_enough_memory_mm() or
kmem_cache_alloc(GFP_KERNEL) fails and exit_mmap() handles it.

kexec: yield to scheduler when loading kimage segments · a8311f64

Jarrett Farnitano authored Jun 14, 2018

Without yielding while loading kimage segments, a large initrd will
block all other work on the CPU performing the load until it is
completed. For example loading an initrd of 200MB on a low power single
core system will lock up the system for a few seconds.

To increase system responsiveness to other tasks at that time, call
cond_resched() in both the crash kernel and normal kernel segment
loading loops.

I did run into a practical problem. Hardware watchdogs on embedded
systems can have short timers on the order of seconds. If the system is
locked up for a few seconds with only a single core available, the
watchdog may not be pet in a timely fashion. If this happens, the
hardware watchdog will fire and reset the system.

This really only becomes a problem when you are working with a single
core, a decently sized initrd, and have a constrained hardware watchdog.

mm: fix race between kmem_cache destroy, create and deactivate · 92ee383f

Shakeel Butt authored Jun 14, 2018

The memcg kmem cache creation and deactivation (SLUB only) is
asynchronous.  If a root kmem cache is destroyed whose memcg cache is in
the process of creation or deactivation, the kernel may crash.

Example of one such crash:
	general protection fault: 0000 [#1] SMP PTI
	CPU: 1 PID: 1721 Comm: kworker/14:1 Not tainted 4.17.0-smp
	...
	Workqueue: memcg_kmem_cache kmemcg_deactivate_workfn
	RIP: 0010:has_cpu_slab
	...
	Call Trace:
	? on_each_cpu_cond

	kmemcg_deactivate_workfn
	process_one_work
	worker_thread
	kthread
	ret_from_fork+0x35/0x40

To fix this race, on root kmem cache destruction, mark the cache as
dying and flush the workqueue used for memcg kmem cache creation and
deactivation.  SLUB's memcg kmem cache deactivation also includes RCU
callback and thus make sure all previous registered RCU callbacks have
completed as well.

mm: fix devmem_is_allowed() for sub-page System RAM intersections · 2bdce744

Dan Williams authored Jun 14, 2018

Hussam reports:

    I was poking around and for no real reason, I did cat /dev/mem and
    strings /dev/mem.  Then I saw the following warning in dmesg. I saved it
    and rebooted immediately.

     memremap attempted on mixed range 0x000000000009c000 size: 0x1000
     ------------[ cut here ]------------
     WARNING: CPU: 0 PID: 11810 at kernel/memremap.c:98 memremap+0x104/0x170

      read_mem+0x89/0x1a0
      __vfs_read+0x36/0x170

The memremap() implementation checks for attempts to remap System RAM
with MEMREMAP_WB and instead redirects those mapping attempts to the
linear map.  However, that only works if the physical address range
being remapped is page aligned.  In low memory we have situations like
the following:

    00000000-00000fff : Reserved
    00001000-0009fbff : System RAM
    0009fc00-0009ffff : Reserved

...where System RAM intersects Reserved ranges on a sub-page page
granularity.

Given that devmem_is_allowed() special cases any attempt to map System
RAM in the first 1MB of memory, replace page_is_ram() with the more
precise region_intersects() to trap attempts to map disallowed ranges.

The problem happens because parent_mem_cgroup() returns a NULL pointer,

As cgroup v1 has no memory guarantee support, let's make
mem_cgroup_protected() immediately return MEMCG_PROT_NONE, if the given
cgroup has no parent (non-hierarchical mode is used).

mm/ksm.c: ignore STABLE_FLAG of rmap_item->address in rmap_walk_ksm() · 1105a2fc

Jia He authored Jun 14, 2018

In our armv8a server(QDF2400), I noticed lots of WARN_ON caused by
PAGE_SIZE unaligned for rmap_item->address under memory pressure
tests(start 20 guests and run memhog in the host).

In rmap_walk_ksm, the rmap_item->address might still have the
STABLE_FLAG, then the start and end in handle_hva_to_gpa might not be
PAGE_SIZE aligned.  Thus it will cause exceptions in handle_hva_to_gpa
on arm64.

This patch fixes it by ignoring (not removing) the low bits of address
when doing rmap_walk_ksm.

IMO, it should be backported to stable tree.  the storm of WARN_ONs is
very easy for me to reproduce.  More than that, I watched a panic (not
reproducible) as follows:

  page:ffff7fe003742d80 count:-4871 mapcount:-2126053375 mapping: (null) index:0x0

    kvm_unmap_hva_range+0x5c/0xd0

I even injected a fault on purpose in kvm_unmap_hva_range by seting
size=size-0x200, the call trace is similar as above.  So I thought the
panic is similarly caused by the root cause of WARN_ON.

Kbuild: rename CC_STACKPROTECTOR[_STRONG] config variables · 050e9baa

Linus Torvalds authored Jun 14, 2018

The changes to automatically test for working stack protector compiler
support in the Kconfig files removed the special STACKPROTECTOR_AUTO
option that picked the strongest stack protector that the compiler
supported.

That was all a nice cleanup - it makes no sense to have the AUTO case
now that the Kconfig phase can just determine the compiler support
directly.

HOWEVER.

It also meant that doing "make oldconfig" would now _disable_ the strong
stackprotector if you had AUTO enabled, because in a legacy config file,
the sane stack protector configuration would look like

  CONFIG_HAVE_CC_STACKPROTECTOR=y
  # CONFIG_CC_STACKPROTECTOR_NONE is not set
  # CONFIG_CC_STACKPROTECTOR_REGULAR is not set
  # CONFIG_CC_STACKPROTECTOR_STRONG is not set
  CONFIG_CC_STACKPROTECTOR_AUTO=y

and when you ran this through "make oldconfig" with the Kbuild changes,
it would ask you about the regular CONFIG_CC_STACKPROTECTOR (that had
been renamed from CONFIG_CC_STACKPROTECTOR_REGULAR to just
CONFIG_CC_STACKPROTECTOR), but it would think that the STRONG version
used to be disabled (because it was really enabled by AUTO), and would
disable it in the new config, resulting in:

  CONFIG_HAVE_CC_STACKPROTECTOR=y
  CONFIG_CC_HAS_STACKPROTECTOR_NONE=y
  CONFIG_CC_STACKPROTECTOR=y
  # CONFIG_CC_STACKPROTECTOR_STRONG is not set
  CONFIG_CC_HAS_SANE_STACKPROTECTOR=y

That's dangerously subtle - people could suddenly find themselves with
the weaker stack protector setup without even realizing.

The solution here is to just rename not just the old RECULAR stack
protector option, but also the strong one.  This does that by just
removing the CC_ prefix entirely for the user choices, because it really
is not about the compiler support (the compiler support now instead
automatially impacts _visibility_ of the options to users).

This results in "make oldconfig" actually asking the user for their
choice, so that we don't have any silent subtle security model changes.
The end result would generally look like this:

  CONFIG_HAVE_CC_STACKPROTECTOR=y
  CONFIG_CC_HAS_STACKPROTECTOR_NONE=y
  CONFIG_STACKPROTECTOR=y
  CONFIG_STACKPROTECTOR_STRONG=y
  CONFIG_CC_HAS_SANE_STACKPROTECTOR=y

where the "CC_" versions really are about internal compiler
infrastructure, not the user selections.

which isn't a wonderful error message, but bisection pinpointed the
problematic commit.

The problem is almost certainly due to the special kvm debugfs entries

KVM: x86: VMX: fix build without hyper-v · dbee3d02

Linus Torvalds authored Jun 12, 2018

Commit ceef7d10 ("KVM: x86: VMX: hyper-v: Enlightened MSR-Bitmap
support") broke the build with Hyper-V disabled, because it accesses
ms_hyperv.nested_features without checking if that exists.

This is the quick-and-hacky build fix.

I suspect the proper fix is to replace the

    static_branch_unlikely(&enable_evmcs)

tests with an inline helper function that also checks that CONFIG_HYPERV
is enabled, since without that, enable_evmcs makes no sense.

But I want a working build environment first and foremost, and I'm upset
this slipped through in the first place.  My primary build tests missed
it because I tend to build with everything enabled, but it should have
been caught in the kvm tree.

  kmalloc_array(a, b, ...) or the array_size() macros (e.g. vmalloc(a *

Merge tag 'for-4.18/dm-changes-v2' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/device-mapper/linux-dm

Pull device mapper updates from Mike Snitzer:

 - Adjust various DM structure members to improve alignment relative to
   4.18 block's mempool_t and bioset changes.

 - Add DM writecache target that offers writeback caching to persistent
   memory or SSD.

 - Small DM core error message change to give context for why a DM table
   type transition wasn't allowed.
