Allow the initcall tables to be emitted using relative references that are only half the size on 64-bit architectures and don't require fixups at runtime on relocatable kernels. Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20180704083651.24360-5-ard.biesheuvel@linaro.orgAcked-by:

An ordinary arm64 defconfig build has ~64 KB worth of __ksymtab entries, each consisting of two 64-bit fields containing absolute references, to the symbol itself and to a char array containing its name, respectively. When we build the same configuration with KASLR enabled, we end up with an additional ~192 KB of relocations in the .init section, i.e., one 24 byte entry for each absolute reference, which all need to be processed at boot time. Given how the struct kernel_symbol that describes each entry is completely local to module.c (except for the references emitted by EXPORT_SYMBOL() itself), we can easily modify it to contain two 32-bit relative references instead. This reduces the size of the __ksymtab section by 50% for all 64-bit architectures, and gets rid of the runtime relocations entirely for architectures implementing KASLR, either via standard PIE linking (arm64) or using custom host tools (x86). Note that the binary search involving __ksymtab contents relies on each section being sorted by symbol name. This is implemented based on the input section names, not the names in the ksymtab entries, so this patch does not interfere with that. Given that the use of place-relative relocations requires support both in the toolchain and in the module loader, we cannot enable this feature for all architectures. So make it dependent on whether CONFIG_HAVE_ARCH_PREL32_RELOCATIONS is defined. Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20180704083651.24360-4-ard.biesheuvel@linaro.orgSigned-off-by:

To allow existing C code to be incorporated into the decompressor or the UEFI stub, introduce a CPP macro that turns all EXPORT_SYMBOL_xxx declarations into nops, and #define it in places where such exports are undesirable. Note that this gets rid of a rather dodgy redefine of linux/export.h's header guard. Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20180704083651.24360-3-ard.biesheuvel@linaro.orgSigned-off-by:

Patch series "add support for relative references in special sections", v10. This adds support for emitting special sections such as initcall arrays, PCI fixups and tracepoints as relative references rather than absolute references. This reduces the size by 50% on 64-bit architectures, but more importantly, it removes the need for carrying relocation metadata for these sections in relocatable kernels (e.g., for KASLR) that needs to be fixed up at boot time. On arm64, this reduces the vmlinux footprint of such a reference by 8x (8 byte absolute reference + 24 byte RELA entry vs 4 byte relative reference) Patch #3 was sent out before as a single patch. This series supersedes the previous submission. This version makes relative ksymtab entries dependent on the new Kconfig symbol HAVE_ARCH_PREL32_RELOCATIONS rather than trying to infer from kbuild test robot replies for which architectures it should be blacklisted. Patch #1 introduces the new Kconfig symbol HAVE_ARCH_PREL32_RELOCATIONS, and sets it for the main architectures that are expected to benefit the most from this feature, i.e., 64-bit architectures or ones that use runtime relocations. Patch #2 add support for #define'ing __DISABLE_EXPORTS to get rid of ksymtab/kcrctab sections in decompressor and EFI stub objects when rebuilding existing C files to run in a different context. Patches #4 - #6 implement relative references for initcalls, PCI fixups and tracepoints, respectively, all of which produce sections with order ~1000 entries on an arm64 defconfig kernel with tracing enabled. This means we save about 28 KB of vmlinux space for each of these patches. [From the v7 series blurb, which included the jump_label patches as well]: For the arm64 kernel, all patches combined reduce the memory footprint of vmlinux by about 1.3 MB (using a config copied from Ubuntu that has KASLR enabled), of which ~1 MB is the size reduction of the RELA section in .init, and the remaining 300 KB is reduction of .text/.data. This patch (of 6): Before updating certain subsystems to use place relative 32-bit relocations in special sections, to save space and reduce the number of absolute relocations that need to be processed at runtime by relocatable kernels, introduce the Kconfig symbol and define it for some architectures that should be able to support and benefit from it.

Currently task hung checking interval is equal to timeout, as the result hung is detected anywhere between timeout and 2*timeout. This is fine for most interactive environments, but this hurts automated testing setups (syzbot). In an automated setup we need to strictly order CPU lockup < RCU stall < workqueue lockup < task hung < silent loss, so that RCU stall is not detected as task hung and task hung is not detected as silent machine loss. The large variance in task hung detection timeout requires setting silent machine loss timeout to a very large value (e.g. if task hung is 3 mins, then silent loss need to be set to ~7 mins). The additional 3 minutes significantly reduce testing efficiency because usually we crash kernel within a minute, and this can add hours to bug localization process as it needs to do dozens of tests. Allow setting checking interval separately from timeout. This allows to set timeout to, say, 3 minutes, but checking interval to 10 secs. The interval is controlled via a new hung_task_check_interval_secs sysctl, similar to the existing hung_task_timeout_secs sysctl. The default value of 0 results in the current behavior: checking interval is equal to timeout.

Explicitly state that WARN*() should be used only for recoverable kernel issues/bugs and that it should not be used for any kind of invalid external inputs or transient conditions. Motivation: it's a very useful capability to be able to understand if a particular kernel splat means a kernel bug or simply an invalid user-space program. For the former one wants to notify kernel developers, while notifying kernel developers for the latter is annoying. Even a kernel developer may not know what to do with a WARNING in an unfamiliar subsystem. This is especially critical for any automated testing systems that may use panic_on_warn and mail kernel developers. The clear separation also serves as an additional documentation: is it a condition that must never occur because of additional checks/logic elsewhere? or is it simply a check for invalid inputs or unfortunate conditions? Use of pr_err() for user messages also leads to better error messages. "Something is wrong in file foo on line X" is not particularly useful message for end user. pr_err() forces developers to write more meaningful error messages for user. As of now we are almost there. We are doing systematic kernel testing with panic_on_warn and are not seeing massive amounts of false positives. But every now and then another WARN on ENOMEM or invalid inputs pops up and leads to a lengthy argument each time. The goal of this change is to officially document the rules.

This is preparation for allowing CRASH_CORE to be enabled for any architecture. swapper_pg_dir is always either an array or a macro expanding to NULL. In the latter case, VMCOREINFO_SYMBOL() won't work, as it tries to take the address of the given symbol: #define VMCOREINFO_SYMBOL(name) \ vmcoreinfo_append_str("SYMBOL(%s)=%lx\n", #name, (unsigned long)&name) Instead, use VMCOREINFO_SYMBOL_ARRAY(), which uses the value: #define VMCOREINFO_SYMBOL_ARRAY(name) \ vmcoreinfo_append_str("SYMBOL(%s)=%lx\n", #name, (unsigned long)name) This is the same thing for the array case but isn't an error for the macro case.

Currently, the ELF file header, program headers, and note segment are allocated all at once, in some icky code dating back to 2.3. Programs tend to read the file header, then the program headers, then the note segment, all separately, so this is a waste of effort. It's cleaner and more efficient to handle the three separately.

There's a theoretical race condition that will cause /proc/kcore to miss a memory hotplug event: CPU0 CPU1 // hotplug event 1 kcore_need_update = 1 open_kcore() open_kcore() kcore_update_ram() kcore_update_ram() // Walk RAM // Walk RAM __kcore_update_ram() __kcore_update_ram() kcore_need_update = 0 // hotplug event 2 kcore_need_update = 1 kcore_need_update = 0 Note that CPU1 set up the RAM kcore entries with the state after hotplug event 1 but cleared the flag for hotplug event 2. The RAM entries will therefore be stale until there is another hotplug event. This is an extremely unlikely sequence of events, but the fix makes the synchronization saner, anyways: we serialize the entire update sequence, which means that whoever clears the flag will always succeed in replacing the kcore list.

Patch series "/proc/kcore improvements", v4. This series makes a few improvements to /proc/kcore. It fixes a couple of small issues in v3 but is otherwise the same. Patches 1, 2, and 3 are prep patches. Patch 4 is a fix/cleanup. Patch 5 is another prep patch. Patches 6 and 7 are optimizations to ->read(). Patch 8 makes it possible to enable CRASH_CORE on any architecture, which is needed for patch 9. Patch 9 adds vmcoreinfo to /proc/kcore. This patch (of 9): kclist_add() is only called at init time, so there's no point in grabbing any locks. We're also going to replace the rwlock with a rwsem, which we don't want to try grabbing during early boot. While we're here, mark kclist_add() with __init so that we'll get a warning if it's called from non-init code.

Currently, NODEMASK_ALLOC allocates a nodemask_t with kmalloc when NODES_SHIFT is higher than 8, otherwise it declares it within the stack. The comment says that the reasoning behind this, is that nodemask_t will be 256 bytes when NODES_SHIFT is higher than 8, but this is not true. For example, NODES_SHIFT = 9 will give us a 64 bytes nodemask_t. Let us fix up the comment for that. Another thing is that it might make sense to let values lower than 128bytes be allocated in the stack. Although this all depends on the depth of the stack (and this changes from function to function), I think that 64 bytes is something we can easily afford. So we could even bump the limit by 1 (from > 8 to > 9). Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20180820085516.9687-1-osalvador@techadventures.netSigned-off-by:

The call to strlcpy in backing_dev_store is incorrect. It should take the size of the destination buffer instead of the size of the source buffer. Additionally, ignore the newline character (\n) when reading the new file_name buffer. This makes it possible to set the backing_dev as follows: echo /dev/sdX > /sys/block/zram0/backing_dev The reason it worked before was the fact that strlcpy() copies 'len - 1' bytes, which is strlen(buf) - 1 in our case, so it accidentally didn't copy the trailing new line symbol. Which also means that "echo -n /dev/sdX" most likely was broken. Signed-off-by:

Currently, percpu memory only exposes allocation and utilization information via debugfs. This more or less is only really useful for understanding the fragmentation and allocation information at a per-chunk level with a few global counters. This is also gated behind a config. BPF and cgroup, for example, have seen an increase in use causing increased use of percpu memory. Let's make it easier for someone to identify how much memory is being used. This patch adds the "Percpu" stat to meminfo to more easily look up how much percpu memory is in use. This number includes the cost for all allocated backing pages and not just insight at the per a unit, per chunk level. Metadata is excluded. I think excluding metadata is fair because the backing memory scales with the numbere of cpus and can quickly outweigh the metadata. It also makes this calculation light.

For some workloads an intervention from the OOM killer can be painful. Killing a random task can bring the workload into an inconsistent state. Historically, there are two common solutions for this problem: 1) enabling panic_on_oom, 2) using a userspace daemon to monitor OOMs and kill all outstanding processes. Both approaches have their downsides: rebooting on each OOM is an obvious waste of capacity, and handling all in userspace is tricky and requires a userspace agent, which will monitor all cgroups for OOMs. In most cases an in-kernel after-OOM cleaning-up mechanism can eliminate the necessity of enabling panic_on_oom. Also, it can simplify the cgroup management for userspace applications. This commit introduces a new knob for cgroup v2 memory controller: memory.oom.group. The knob determines whether the cgroup should be treated as an indivisible workload by the OOM killer. If set, all tasks belonging to the cgroup or to its descendants (if the memory cgroup is not a leaf cgroup) are killed together or not at all. To determine which cgroup has to be killed, we do traverse the cgroup hierarchy from the victim task's cgroup up to the OOMing cgroup (or root) and looking for the highest-level cgroup with memory.oom.group set. Tasks with the OOM protection (oom_score_adj set to -1000) are treated as an exception and are never killed. This patch doesn't change the OOM victim selection algorithm.

Patch series "introduce memory.oom.group", v2. This is a tiny implementation of cgroup-aware OOM killer, which adds an ability to kill a cgroup as a single unit and so guarantee the integrity of the workload. Although it has only a limited functionality in comparison to what now resides in the mm tree (it doesn't change the victim task selection algorithm, doesn't look at memory stas on cgroup level, etc), it's also much simpler and more straightforward. So, hopefully, we can avoid having long debates here, as we had with the full implementation. As it doesn't prevent any futher development, and implements an useful and complete feature, it looks as a sane way forward. This patch (of 2): oom_kill_process() consists of two logical parts: the first one is responsible for considering task's children as a potential victim and printing the debug information. The second half is responsible for sending SIGKILL to all tasks sharing the mm struct with the given victim. This commit splits oom_kill_process() with an intention to re-use the the second half: __oom_kill_process(). The cgroup-aware OOM killer will kill multiple tasks belonging to the victim cgroup. We don't need to print the debug information for the each task, as well as play with task selection (considering task's children), so we can't use the existing oom_kill_process().
