Commit 4bcc595c ("printk: reinstate KERN_CONT for printing continuation lines") allows to define more message headers for a single message. The motivation is that continuous lines might get mixed. Therefore it make sense to define the right log level for every piece of a cont line. The current btrfs_printk() macros do not support continuous lines at the moment. But better be prepared for a custom messages and avoid potential "lvl" buffer overflow. This patch iterates over the entire message header. It is interested only into the message level like the original code. This patch also introduces PRINTK_MAX_SINGLE_HEADER_LEN. Three bytes are enough for the message level header at the moment. But it used to be three, see the commit 04d2c8c8 ("printk: convert the format for KERN_<LEVEL> to a 2 byte pattern"). Also I fixed the default ratelimit level. It looked very strange when it was different from the default log level.

Therefore it make sense to define the right log level for every piece of a cont line. This patch introduces printk_skip_headers() that will skip all headers and uses it in the kdb code instead of printk_skip_level(). This approach helps to fix other printk_skip_level() users independently. Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1478695291-12169-3-git-send-email-pmladek@suse.comSigned-off-by:

Commit 4bcc595c ("printk: reinstate KERN_CONT for printing continuation lines") added back KERN_CONT message header. As a result it might appear in the middle of the line when the parts are squashed via the temporary NMI buffer. A reasonable solution seems to be to split the text in the NNI temporary not only by newlines but also by the message headers. Another solution would be to filter out KERN_CONT when writing to the temporary buffer. But this would complicate the lockless handling. Also it would not solve problems with a missing newline that was there even before the KERN_CONT stuff. This patch moves the temporary buffer handling into separate function. I played with it and it seems that using the char pointers make the code easier to read. Also it prints the final newline as a continuous line. Finally, it moves handling of the s->len overflow into the paranoid check. And allows to recover from the disaster.

vsnprintf() adds the trailing '\0' but it does not count it into the number of printed characters. The result is that there is one byte less space for the real characters in the buffer. The broken check for the free space might cause that we will repeatedly try to print 1 character into the buffer, never reach the full buffer, and do not count the messages as missed. Also vsnprintf() returns the number of characters that would be printed if the buffer was big enough. As a result, s->len might be bigger than the size of the buffer[*]. And the printk() function might return bigger len than it really printed. Both problems are fixed by using vscnprintf() instead. Note that I though about increasing the number of missed messages even when the message was shrunken. But it made the code even more complicated. I think that it is not worth it. Shrunken messages are usually easy to recognize. And it should be a corner case. [*] The overflown s->len value is crazy and unexpected. I "made a mistake" and reported this situation as an internal error when fixed handling of PR_CONT headers in some other patch.

format_decode and vsnprintf occasionally show up in perf top, so I went looking for places that might not need the full printf power. With the help of kprobes, I gathered some statistics on which format strings we mostly pass to vsnprintf. On a trivial desktop workload, I hit "%x" 25% of the time, so something apparently reads /proc/pid/status (which does 5*16 printf("%x") calls) a lot. With this patch, reading /proc/pid/status is 30% faster according to this microbenchmark: char buf[4096]; int i, fd; for (i = 0; i < 10000; ++i) { fd = open("/proc/self/status", O_RDONLY); read(fd, buf, sizeof(buf)); close(fd); } Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1474410485-1305-1-git-send-email-linux@rasmusvillemoes.dkSigned-off-by:Rasmus Villemoes <linux@rasmusvillemoes.dk> Acked-by:

As shown by pcpu_build_alloc_info(), the number of units within a percpu group is deduced by rounding up the number of CPUs within the group to @upa boundary/ Therefore, the number of CPUs isn't equal to the units's if it isn't aligned to @upa normally. However, pcpu_page_first_chunk() uses BUG_ON() to assert that one number is equal to the other roughly, so a panic is maybe triggered by the BUG_ON() incorrectly. In order to fix this issue, the number of CPUs is rounded up then compared with units's and the BUG_ON() is replaced with a warning and return of an error code as well, to keep system alive as much as possible.

In the upcoming gcc7 release, the -fsanitize=kernel-address option at first implied new -fsanitize-address-use-after-scope option. This would cause link errors on older kernels because they don't have two new functions required for use-after-scope support. Therefore, gcc7 changed default to -fno-sanitize-address-use-after-scope. Now the kernel has everything required for that feature since commit 828347f8 ("kasan: support use-after-scope detection"). So, to make it work, we just have to enable use-after-scope in CFLAGS.

Currently we dedicate 1/32 of RAM for quarantine and then reduce it by 1/4 of total quarantine size. This can be a significant amount of memory. For example, with 4GB of RAM total quarantine size is 128MB and it is reduced by 32MB at a time. With 128GB of RAM total quarantine size is 4GB and it is reduced by 1GB. This leads to several problems: - freeing 1GB can take tens of seconds, causes rcu stall warnings and just introduces unexpected long delays at random places - if kmalloc() is called under a mutex, other threads stall on that mutex while a thread reduces quarantine - threads wait on quarantine_lock while one thread grabs a large batch of objects to evict - we walk the uncached list of object to free twice which makes all of the above worse - when a thread frees objects, they are already not accounted against global_quarantine.bytes; as the result we can have quarantine_size bytes in quarantine + unbounded amount of memory in large batches in threads that are in process of freeing Reduce size of quarantine in smaller batches to reduce the delays. The only reason to reduce it in batches is amortization of overheads, the new batch size of 1MB should be well enough to amortize spinlock lock/unlock and few function calls. Plus organize quarantine as a FIFO array of batches. This allows to not walk the list in quarantine_reduce() under quarantine_lock, which in turn reduces contention and is just faster. This improves performance of heavy load (syzkaller fuzzing) by ~20% with 4 CPUs and 32GB of RAM. Also this eliminates frequent (every 5 sec) drops of CPU consumption from ~400% to ~100% (one thread reduces quarantine while others are waiting on a mutex). Some reference numbers: 1. Machine with 4 CPUs and 4GB of memory. Quarantine size 128MB. Currently we free 32MB at at time. With new code we free 1MB at a time (1024 batches, ~128 are used). 2. Machine with 32 CPUs and 128GB of memory. Quarantine size 4GB. Currently we free 1GB at at time. With new code we free 8MB at a time (1024 batches, ~512 are used). 3. Machine with 4096 CPUs and 1TB of memory. Quarantine size 32GB. Currently we free 8GB at at time. With new code we free 4MB at a time (16K batches, ~8K are used).

If user sets panic_on_warn, he wants kernel to panic if there is anything barely wrong with the kernel. KASAN-detected errors are definitely not less benign than an arbitrary kernel WARNING. Panic after KASAN errors if panic_on_warn is set. We use this for continuous fuzzing where we want kernel to stop and reboot on any error.

Test programs want to know the size of a transparent hugepage. While it is commonly the same as the size of a hugetlbfs page (shown as Hugepagesize in /proc/meminfo), that is not always so: powerpc implements transparent hugepages in a different way from hugetlbfs pages, so it's coincidence when their sizes are the same; and x86 and others can support more than one hugetlbfs page size. Add /sys/kernel/mm/transparent_hugepage/hpage_pmd_size to show the THP size in bytes - it's the same for Anonymous and Shmem hugepages. Call it hpage_pmd_size (after HPAGE_PMD_SIZE) rather than hpage_size, in case some transparent support for pud and pgd pages is added later.

Add a cond_resched() in the unuse_pmd_range() loop (so as to call it even when pmd none or trans_huge, like zap_pmd_range() does); and in the unuse_mm() loop (since that might skip over many vmas). shmem_unuse() and radix_tree_locate_item() look good enough already. Those were the obvious places, but in fact the stalls came from find_next_to_unuse(), which sometimes scans through many unused entries. Apply scan_swap_map()'s LATENCY_LIMIT of 256 there too; and only go off to test frontswap_map when a used entry is found.

Vlastimil Babka pointed out that commit 479f854a ("mm, page_alloc: defer debugging checks of pages allocated from the PCP") will allow the per-cpu list counter to be out of sync with the per-cpu list contents if a struct page is corrupted. The consequence is an infinite loop if the per-cpu lists get fully drained by free_pcppages_bulk because all the lists are empty but the count is positive. The infinite loop occurs here do { batch_free++; if (++migratetype == MIGRATE_PCPTYPES) migratetype = 0; list = &pcp->lists[migratetype]; } while (list_empty(list)); What the user sees is a bad page warning followed by a soft lockup with interrupts disabled in free_pcppages_bulk(). This patch keeps the accounting in sync.

anon_vma_prepare() is mostly a large "if (unlikely(...))" block, as the expected common case is that an anon_vma already exists. We could turn the condition around and return 0, but it also makes sense to do it inline and avoid a call for the common case. Bloat-o-meter naturally shows that inlining the check has some code size costs: add/remove: 1/1 grow/shrink: 4/0 up/down: 475/-373 (102) function old new delta __anon_vma_prepare - 359 +359 handle_mm_fault 2744 2796 +52 hugetlb_cow 1146 1170 +24 hugetlb_fault 2123 2145 +22 wp_page_copy 1469 1487 +18 anon_vma_prepare 373 - -373 Checking the asm however confirms that the hot paths now avoid a call, which is moved away.

__dump_page() is used when a page metadata inconsistency is detected, either by standard runtime checks, or extra checks in CONFIG_DEBUG_VM builds. It prints some of the relevant metadata, but not the whole struct page, which is based on unions and interpretation is dependent on the context. This means that sometimes e.g. a VM_BUG_ON_PAGE() checks certain field, which is however not printed by __dump_page() and the resulting bug report may then lack clues that could help in determining the root cause. This patch solves the problem by simply printing the whole struct page word by word, so no part is missing, but the interpretation of the data is left to developers. This is similar to e.g. x86_64 raw stack dumps.

Independent of whether the vma is for anonymous memory, some arches like ppc64 would like to override pmd_move_must_withdraw(). One option is to encapsulate the vma_is_anonymous() check for general architectures inside pmd_move_must_withdraw() so that is always called and architectures that need unconditional overriding can override this function. ppc64 needs to override the function when the MMU is configured to use hash PTE's.

Since commit 59dc76b0 ("mm: vmscan: reduce size of inactive file list") the size of the active file list is no longer limited to half of memory. Increase the shadow node limit accordingly to avoid throwing out shadow entries that might still result in eligible refaults. The exact size of the active list now depends on the overall size of the page cache, but converges toward taking up most of the space: In mm/vmscan.c::inactive_list_is_low(), * total target max * memory ratio inactive * ------------------------------------- * 10MB 1 5MB * 100MB 1 50MB * 1GB 3 250MB * 10GB 10 0.9GB * 100GB 31 3GB * 1TB 101 10GB * 10TB 320 32GB It would be possible to apply the same precise ratios when determining the limit for radix tree nodes containing shadow entries, but since it is merely an approximation of the oldest refault distances in the wild and the code also makes assumptions about the node population density, keep it simple and always target the full cache size. While at it, clarify the comment and the formula for memory footprint. Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20161117214701.29000-1-hannes@cmpxchg.orgSigned-off-by:

Shadow entries in the page cache used to be accounted behind the radix tree implementation's back in the upper bits of node->count, and the radix tree code extending a single-entry tree with a shadow entry in root->rnode would corrupt that counter. As a result, we could not put shadow entries at index 0 if the tree didn't have any other entries, and that means no refault detection for any single-page file. Now that the shadow entries are tracked natively in the radix tree's exceptional counter, this is no longer necessary. Extending and shrinking the tree from and to single entries in root->rnode now does the right thing when the entry is exceptional, remove that limitation.

Currently, we track the shadow entries in the page cache in the upper bits of the radix_tree_node->count, behind the back of the radix tree implementation. Because the radix tree code has no awareness of them, we rely on random subtleties throughout the implementation (such as the node->count != 1 check in the shrinking code, which is meant to exclude multi-entry nodes but also happens to skip nodes with only one shadow entry, as that's accounted in the upper bits). This is error prone and has, in fact, caused the bug fixed in d3798ae8 ("mm: filemap: don't plant shadow entries without radix tree node"). To remove these subtleties, this patch moves shadow entry tracking from the upper bits of node->count to the existing counter for exceptional entries. node->count goes back to being a simple counter of valid entries in the tree node and can be shrunk to a single byte. This vastly simplifies the page cache code. All accounting happens natively inside the radix tree implementation, and maintaining the LRU linkage of shadow nodes is consolidated into a single function in the workingset code that is called for leaf nodes affected by a change in the page cache tree. This also removes the last user of the __radix_delete_node() return value. Eliminate it. Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20161117193211.GE23430@cmpxchg.orgSigned-off-by:
