Export the number of anonymous pages in a mapping via smaps. Even the private pages in a mapping backed by a file, would be marked as anonymous, when they are modified. Export this information to user-space via smaps. Exporting this count will help gdb to make a better decision on which areas need to be dumped in its coredump; and should be useful to others studying the memory usage of a process. Signed-off-by:

The userland ELF tools have been coping with partial-segments core files for a few years now. Multiple distro builds are now setting this option. It behooves everyone who ever deals with core files to have more info dumped in there, especially as more and more people's compilers are producing build IDs. Make it the default. Anyone using older tools confused by these core files can configure this option off, or just change /proc/PID/coredump_filter after boot. Signed-off-by:

We met a parameter truncated issue, consider following: > echo "|/root/core_pattern_pipe_test %p /usr/libexec/blah-blah-blah \ %s %c %p %u %g 11 12345678901234567890123456789012345678 %t" > \ /proc/sys/kernel/core_pattern This is okay because the strings is less than CORENAME_MAX_SIZE. "cat /proc/sys/kernel/core_pattern" shows the whole string. but after we run core_pattern_pipe_test in man page, we found last parameter was truncated like below: argc[10]=<12807486> The root cause is core_pattern allows % specifiers, which need to be replaced during parse time, but the replace may expand the strings to larger than CORENAME_MAX_SIZE. So if the last parameter is % specifiers, the replace code is using snprintf(out_ptr, out_end - out_ptr, ...), this will write out of corename array.

Oleg Nesterov pointed out we have to prevent multiple-threads-inside-exec itself and we can reuse ->cred_guard_mutex for it. Yes, concurrent execve() has no worth. Let's move ->cred_guard_mutex from task_struct to signal_struct. It naturally prevent multiple-threads-inside-exec. Signed-off-by:

lock_task_sighand() grabs sighand->siglock in case of returning non-NULL but unlock_task_sighand() releases it unconditionally. This leads sparse to complain about the lock context imbalance. Rename and wrap lock_task_sighand() using __cond_lock() macro to make sparse happy. Suggested-by:

-
Namhyung Kim authored
Since userspace API of ptrace syscall defines @addr and @data as void pointers, it would be more appropriate to define them as unsigned long in kernel. Therefore related functions are changed also. 'unsigned long' is typically used in other places in kernel as an opaque data type and that using this helps cleaning up a lot of warnings from sparse. Suggested-by:

This patch extracts the core logic from mem_cgroup_update_file_mapped() as mem_cgroup_update_file_stat() and adds a wrapper. As a planned future update, memory cgroup has to count dirty pages to implement dirty_ratio/limit. And more, the number of dirty pages is required to kick flusher thread to start writeback. (Now, no kick.) This patch is preparation for it and makes other statistics implementation clearer. Just a clean up. Signed-off-by:

Now, memcgroup's per cpu coutner uses for_each_possible_cpu() to get the value. It's better to use for_each_online_cpu() and a cpu hotplug handler. This patch only handles statistics counter. MEM_CGROUP_ON_MOVE will be handled in another patch. Signed-off-by:

In memory cgroup management, we sometimes have to walk through subhierarchy of cgroup to gather informaiton, or lock something, etc. Now, to do that, mem_cgroup_walk_tree() function is provided. It calls given callback function per cgroup found. But the bad thing is that it has to pass a fixed style function and argument, "void*" and it adds much type casting to memcontrol.c. To make the code clean, this patch replaces walk_tree() with for_each_mem_cgroup_tree(iter, root) An iterator style call. The good point is that iterator call doesn't have to assume what kind of function is called under it. A bad point is that it may cause reference-count leak if a caller use "break" from the loop by mistake. I think the benefit is larger. The modified code seems straigtforward and easy to read because we don't have misterious callbacks and pointer cast. Signed-off-by:

At accounting file events per memory cgroup, we need to find memory cgroup via page_cgroup->mem_cgroup. Now, we use lock_page_cgroup() for guarantee pc->mem_cgroup is not overwritten while we make use of it. But, considering the context which page-cgroup for files are accessed, we can use alternative light-weight mutual execusion in the most case. At handling file-caches, the only race we have to take care of is "moving" account, IOW, overwriting page_cgroup->mem_cgroup. (See comment in the patch) Unlike charge/uncharge, "move" happens not so frequently. It happens only when rmdir() and task-moving (with a special settings.) This patch adds a race-checker for file-cache-status accounting v.s. account moving. The new per-cpu-per-memcg counter MEM_CGROUP_ON_MOVE is added. The routine for account move 1. Increment it before start moving 2. Call synchronize_rcu() 3. Decrement it after the end of moving. By this, file-status-counting routine can check it needs to call lock_page_cgroup(). In most case, I doesn't need to call it. Following is a perf data of a process which mmap()/munmap 32MB of file cache in a minute. Before patch: 28.25% mmap mmap [.] main 22.64% mmap [kernel.kallsyms] [k] page_fault 9.96% mmap [kernel.kallsyms] [k] mem_cgroup_update_file_mapped 3.67% mmap [kernel.kallsyms] [k] filemap_fault 3.50% mmap [kernel.kallsyms] [k] unmap_vmas 2.99% mmap [kernel.kallsyms] [k] __do_fault 2.76% mmap [kernel.kallsyms] [k] find_get_page After patch: 30.00% mmap mmap [.] main 23.78% mmap [kernel.kallsyms] [k] page_fault 5.52% mmap [kernel.kallsyms] [k] mem_cgroup_update_file_mapped 3.81% mmap [kernel.kallsyms] [k] unmap_vmas 3.26% mmap [kernel.kallsyms] [k] find_get_page 3.18% mmap [kernel.kallsyms] [k] __do_fault 3.03% mmap [kernel.kallsyms] [k] filemap_fault 2.40% mmap [kernel.kallsyms] [k] handle_mm_fault 2.40% mmap [kernel.kallsyms] [k] do_page_fault This patch reduces memcg's cost to some extent. (mem_cgroup_update_file_mapped is called by both of map/unmap) Note: It seems some more improvements are required..but no idea. maybe removing set/unset flag is required.

Presently memory cgroup accounts file-mapped by counter and flag. counter is working in the same way with zone_stat but FileMapped flag only exists in memcg (for helping move_account). This flag can be updated wrongly in a case. Assume CPU0 and CPU1 and a thread mapping a page on CPU0, another thread unmapping it on CPU1. CPU0 CPU1 rmv rmap (mapcount 1->0) add rmap (mapcount 0->1) lock_page_cgroup() memcg counter+1 (some delay) set MAPPED FLAG. unlock_page_cgroup() lock_page_cgroup() memcg counter-1 clear MAPPED flag In the above sequence counter is properly updated but FLAG is not. This means that representing a state by a flag which is maintained by counter needs some special care. To handle this, when clearing a flag, this patch check mapcount directly and clear the flag only when mapcount == 0. (if mapcount >0, someone will make it to zero later and flag will be cleared.) Reverse case, dec-after-inc cannot be a problem because page_table_lock() works well for it. (IOW, to make above sequence, 2 processes should touch the same page at once with map/unmap.)

The ns_cgroup will be removed very soon. Let's warn, for this version, ns_cgroup is deprecated. Make ns_cgroup and clone_children exclusive. If the clone_children is set and the ns_cgroup is mounted, let's fail with EINVAL when the ns_cgroup subsys is created (a printk will help the user to understand why the creation fails). Update the feature remove schedule file with the deprecated ns_cgroup. Signed-off-by:
