      Merge active entropy generation updates.
      
      This is admittedly partly "for discussion".  We need to have a way
      forward for the boot time deadlocks where user space ends up waiting for
      more entropy, but no entropy is forthcoming because the system is
      entirely idle just waiting for something to happen.
      
      While this was triggered by what is arguably a user space bug with
      GDM/gnome-session asking for secure randomness during early boot, when
      they didn't even need any such truly secure thing, the issue ends up
      being that our "getrandom()" interface is prone to that kind of
      confusion, because people don't think very hard about whether they want
      to block for sufficient amounts of entropy.
      
      The approach here-in is to decide to not just passively wait for entropy
      to happen, but to start actively collecting it if it is missing.  This
      is not necessarily always possible, but if the architecture has a CPU
      cycle counter, there is a fair amount of noise in the exact timings of
      reasonably complex loads.
      
      We may end up tweaking the load and the entropy estimates, but this
      should be at least a reasonable starting point.
      
      As part of this, we also revert the revert of the ext4 IO pattern
      improvement that ended up triggering the reported lack of external
      entropy.

      This reverts commit 72dbcf72.
      
      Instead of waiting forever for entropy that may just not happen, we now
      try to actively generate entropy when required, and are thus hopefully
      avoiding the problem that caused the nice ext4 IO pattern fix to be
      reverted.
      
      So revert the revert.

      random: try to actively add entropy rather than passively wait for it · 50ee7529
      Linus Torvalds authored
      For 5.3 we had to revert a nice ext4 IO pattern improvement, because it
      caused a bootup regression due to lack of entropy at bootup together
      with arguably broken user space that was asking for secure random
      numbers when it really didn't need to.
      
      See commit 72dbcf72 (Revert "ext4: make __ext4_get_inode_loc plug").
      
      This aims to solve the issue by actively generating entropy noise using
      the CPU cycle counter when waiting for the random number generator to
      initialize.  This only works when you have a high-frequency time stamp
      counter available, but that's the case on all modern x86 CPU's, and on
      most other modern CPU's too.
      
      What we do is to generate jitter entropy from the CPU cycle counter
      under a somewhat complex load: calling the scheduler while also
      guaranteeing a certain amount of timing noise by also triggering a
      timer.
      
      I'm sure we can tweak this, and that people will want to look at other
      alternatives, but there's been a number of papers written on jitter
      entropy, and this should really be fairly conservative by crediting one
      bit of entropy for every timer-induced jump in the cycle counter.  Not
      because the timer itself would be all that unpredictable, but because
      the interaction between the timer and the loop is going to be.
      
      Even if (and perhaps particularly if) the timer actually happens on
      another CPU, the cacheline interaction between the loop that reads the
      cycle counter and the timer itself firing is going to add perturbations
      to the cycle counter values that get mixed into the entropy pool.
      
      As Thomas pointed out, with a modern out-of-order CPU, even quite simple
      loops show a fair amount of hard-to-predict timing variability even in
      the absense of external interrupts.  But this tries to take that further
      by actually having a fairly complex interaction.
      
      This is not going to solve the entropy issue for architectures that have
      no CPU cycle counter, but it's not clear how (and if) that is solvable,
      and the hardware in question is largely starting to be irrelevant.  And
      by doing this we can at least avoid some of the even more contentious
      approaches (like making the entropy waiting time out in order to avoid
      the possibly unbounded waiting).

      Linus Torvalds authored
      Merge hugepage allocation updates from David Rientjes:
       "We (mostly Linus, Andrea, and myself) have been discussing offlist how
        to implement a sane default allocation strategy for hugepages on NUMA
        platforms.
      
        With these reverts in place, the page allocator will happily allocate
        a remote hugepage immediately rather than try to make a local hugepage
        available. This incurs a substantial performance degradation when
        memory compaction would have otherwise made a local hugepage
        available.
      
        This series reverts those reverts and attempts to propose a more sane
        default allocation strategy specifically for hugepages. Andrea
        acknowledges this is likely to fix the swap storms that he originally
        reported that resulted in the patches that removed __GFP_THISNODE from
        hugepage allocations.
      
        The immediate goal is to return 5.3 to the behavior the kernel has
        implemented over the past several years so that remote hugepages are
        not immediately allocated when local hugepages could have been made
        available because the increased access latency is untenable.
      
        The next goal is to introduce a sane default allocation strategy for
        hugepages allocations in general regardless of the configuration of
        the system so that we prevent thrashing of local memory when
        compaction is unlikely to succeed and can prefer remote hugepages over
        remote native pages when the local node is low on memory."
      
      Note on timing: this reverts the hugepage VM behavior changes that got
      introduced fairly late in the 5.3 cycle, and that fixed a huge
      performance regression for certain loads that had been around since
      4.18.
      
      Andrea had this note:
      
       "The regression of 4.18 was that it was taking hours to start a VM
        where 3.10 was only taking a few seconds, I reported all the details
        on lkml when it was finally tracked down in August 2018.
      
           https://lore.kernel.org/linux-mm/20180820032640.9896-2-aarcange@redhat.com/
      
        __GFP_THISNODE in MADV_HUGEPAGE made the above enterprise vfio
        workload degrade like in the "current upstream" above. And it still
        would have been that bad as above until 5.3-rc5"
      
      where the bad behavior ends up happening as you fill up a local node,
      and without that change, you'd get into the nasty swap storm behavior
      due to compaction working overtime to make room for more memory on the
      nodes.
      
      As a result 5.3 got the two performance fix reverts in rc5.
      
      However, David Rientjes then noted that those performance fixes in turn
      regressed performance for other loads - although not quite to the same
      degree.  He suggested reverting the reverts and instead replacing them
      with two small changes to how hugepage allocations are done (patch
      descriptions rephrased by me):
      
       - "avoid expensive reclaim when compaction may not succeed": just admit
         that the allocation failed when you're trying to allocate a huge-page
         and compaction wasn't successful.
      
       - "allow hugepage fallback to remote nodes when madvised": when that
         node-local huge-page allocation failed, retry without forcing the
         local node.
      
      but by then I judged it too late to replace the fixes for a 5.3 release.
      So 5.3 was released with behavior that harked back to the pre-4.18 logic.
      
      But now we're in the merge window for 5.4, and we can see if this
      alternate model fixes not just the horrendous swap storm behavior, but
      also restores the performance regression that the late reverts caused.
      
      Fingers crossed.

      mm, page_alloc: allow hugepage fallback to remote nodes when madvised · 76e654cc
      David Rientjes authored
      For systems configured to always try hard to allocate transparent
      hugepages (thp defrag setting of "always") or for memory that has been
      explicitly madvised to MADV_HUGEPAGE, it is often better to fallback to
      remote memory to allocate the hugepage if the local allocation fails
      first.
      
      The point is to allow the initial call to __alloc_pages_node() to attempt
      to defragment local memory to make a hugepage available, if possible,
      rather than immediately fallback to remote memory.  Local hugepages will
      always have a better access latency than remote (huge)pages, so an attempt
      to make a hugepage available locally is always preferred.
      
      If memory compaction cannot be successful locally, however, it is likely
      better to fallback to remote memory.  This could take on two forms: either
      allow immediate fallback to remote memory or do per-zone watermark checks.
      It would be possible to fallback only when per-zone watermarks fail for
      order-0 memory, since that would require local reclaim for all subsequent
      faults so remote huge allocation is likely better than thrashing the local
      zone for large workloads.
      
      In this case, it is assumed that because the system is configured to try
      hard to allocate hugepages or the vma is advised to explicitly want to try
      hard for hugepages that remote allocation is better when local allocation
      and memory compaction have both failed.

      mm, page_alloc: avoid expensive reclaim when compaction may not succeed · b39d0ee2
      David Rientjes authored
      Memory compaction has a couple significant drawbacks as the allocation
      order increases, specifically:
      
       - isolate_freepages() is responsible for finding free pages to use as
         migration targets and is implemented as a linear scan of memory
         starting at the end of a zone,
      
       - failing order-0 watermark checks in memory compaction does not account
         for how far below the watermarks the zone actually is: to enable
         migration, there must be *some* free memory available.  Per the above,
         watermarks are not always suffficient if isolate_freepages() cannot
         find the free memory but it could require hundreds of MBs of reclaim to
         even reach this threshold (read: potentially very expensive reclaim with
         no indication compaction can be successful), and
      
       - if compaction at this order has failed recently so that it does not even
         run as a result of deferred compaction, looping through reclaim can often
         be pointless.
      
      For hugepage allocations, these are quite substantial drawbacks because
      these are very high order allocations (order-9 on x86) and falling back to
      doing reclaim can potentially be *very* expensive without any indication
      that compaction would even be successful.
      
      Reclaim itself is unlikely to free entire pageblocks and certainly no
      reliance should be put on it to do so in isolation (recall lumpy reclaim).
      This means we should avoid reclaim and simply fail hugepage allocation if
      compaction is deferred.
      
      It is also not helpful to thrash a zone by doing excessive reclaim if
      compaction may not be able to access that memory.  If order-0 watermarks
      fail and the allocation order is sufficiently large, it is likely better
      to fail the allocation rather than thrashing the zone.

      Revert "Revert "Revert "mm, thp: consolidate THP gfp handling into alloc_hugepage_direct_gfpmask"" · 19deb769
      David Rientjes authored
      This reverts commit 92717d42.
      
      Since commit a8282608 ("Revert "mm, thp: restore node-local hugepage
      allocations"") is reverted in this series, it is better to restore the
      previous 5.2 behavior between the thp allocation and the page allocator
      rather than to attempt any consolidation or cleanup for a policy that is
      now reverted.  It's less risky during an rc cycle and subsequent patches
      in this series further modify the same policy that the pre-5.3 behavior
      implements.
      
      Consolidation and cleanup can be done subsequent to a sane default page
      allocation strategy, so this patch reverts a cleanup done on a strategy
      that is now reverted and thus is the least risky option.

      David Rientjes authored
      This reverts commit a8282608.
      
      The commit references the original intended semantic for MADV_HUGEPAGE
      which has subsequently taken on three unique purposes:
      
       - enables or disables thp for a range of memory depending on the system's
         config (is thp "enabled" set to "always" or "madvise"),
      
       - determines the synchronous compaction behavior for thp allocations at
         fault (is thp "defrag" set to "always", "defer+madvise", or "madvise"),
         and
      
       - reverts a previous MADV_NOHUGEPAGE (there is no madvise mode to only
         clear previous hugepage advice).
      
      These are the three purposes that currently exist in 5.2 and over the
      past several years that userspace has been written around.  Adding a
      NUMA locality preference adds a fourth dimension to an already conflated
      advice mode.
      
      Based on the semantic that MADV_HUGEPAGE has provided over the past
      several years, there exist workloads that use the tunable based on these
      principles: specifically that the allocation should attempt to
      defragment a local node before falling back.  It is agreed that remote
      hugepages typically (but not always) have a better access latency than
      remote native pages, although on Naples this is at parity for
      intersocket.
      
      The revert commit that this patch reverts allows hugepage allocation to
      immediately allocate remotely when local memory is fragmented.  This is
      contrary to the semantic of MADV_HUGEPAGE over the past several years:
      that is, memory compaction should be attempted locally before falling
      back.
      
      The performance degradation of remote hugepages over local hugepages on
      Rome, for example, is 53.5% increased access latency.  For this reason,
      the goal is to revert back to the 5.2 and previous behavior that would
      attempt local defragmentation before falling back.  With the patch that
      is reverted by this patch, we see performance degradations at the tail
      because the allocator happily allocates the remote hugepage rather than
      even attempting to make a local hugepage available.
      
      zone_reclaim_mode is not a solution to this problem since it does not
      only impact hugepage allocations but rather changes the memory
      allocation strategy for *all* page allocations.

       "An assortment of fixes that were either missed by me, or didn't arrive
        quite in time for the first v5.4 pull.
      
         - Most notable is a fix for an issue with tlbie (broadcast TLB
           invalidation) on Power9, when using the Radix MMU. The tlbie can
           race with an mtpid (move to PID register, essentially MMU context
           switch) on another thread of the core, which can cause stores to
           continue to go to a page after it's unmapped.
      
         - A fix in our KVM code to add a missing barrier, the lack of which
           has been observed to cause missed IPIs and subsequently stuck CPUs
           in the host.
      
         - A change to the way we initialise PCR (Processor Compatibility
           Register) to make it forward compatible with future CPUs.
      
         - On some older PowerVM systems our H_BLOCK_REMOVE support could
           oops, fix it to detect such systems and fallback to the old
           invalidation method.
      
         - A fix for an oops seen on some machines when using KASAN on 32-bit.

      Merge branch 'next-lockdown' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/jmorris/linux-security
      
      Pull kernel lockdown mode from James Morris:
       "This is the latest iteration of the kernel lockdown patchset, from
        Matthew Garrett, David Howells and others.
      
        From the original description:
      
          This patchset introduces an optional kernel lockdown feature,
          intended to strengthen the boundary between UID 0 and the kernel.
          When enabled, various pieces of kernel functionality are restricted.
          Applications that rely on low-level access to either hardware or the
          kernel may cease working as a result - therefore this should not be
          enabled without appropriate evaluation beforehand.
      
          The majority of mainstream distributions have been carrying variants
          of this patchset for many years now, so there's value in providing a
          doesn't meet every distribution requirement, but gets us much closer
          to not requiring external patches.
      
        There are two major changes since this was last proposed for mainline:
      
         - Separating lockdown from EFI secure boot. Background discussion is
           covered here: https://lwn.net/Articles/751061/
      
         -  Implementation as an LSM, with a default stackable lockdown LSM
            module. This allows the lockdown feature to be policy-driven,
            rather than encoding an implicit policy within the mechanism.
      
        The new locked_down LSM hook is provided to allow LSMs to make a
        policy decision around whether kernel functionality that would allow
        tampering with or examining the runtime state of the kernel should be
        permitted.
      
        The included lockdown LSM provides an implementation with a simple
        policy intended for general purpose use. This policy provides a coarse
        level of granularity, controllable via the kernel command line:
      
          lockdown={integrity|confidentiality}
      
        Enable the kernel lockdown feature. If set to integrity, kernel features
        that allow userland to modify the running kernel are disabled. If set to
        confidentiality, kernel features that allow userland to extract
        confidential information from the kernel are also disabled.
      
        This may also be controlled via /sys/kernel/security/lockdown and
        overriden by kernel configuration.
      
        New or existing LSMs may implement finer-grained controls of the
        lockdown features. Refer to the lockdown_reason documentation in
        include/linux/security.h for details.
      
        The lockdown feature has had signficant design feedback and review
        across many subsystems. This code has been in linux-next for some
        weeks, with a few fixes applied along the way.
      
        Stephen Rothwell noted that commit 9d1f8be5 ("bpf: Restrict bpf
        when kernel lockdown is in confidentiality mode") is missing a
        Signed-off-by from its author. Matthew responded that he is providing
        this under category (c) of the DCO"

      Pull integrity updates from Mimi Zohar:
       "The major feature in this time is IMA support for measuring and
        appraising appended file signatures. In addition are a couple of bug
        fixes and code cleanup to use struct_size().
      
        In addition to the PE/COFF and IMA xattr signatures, the kexec kernel
        image may be signed with an appended signature, using the same
        scripts/sign-file tool that is used to sign kernel modules.
      
        Similarly, the initramfs may contain an appended signature.
      
        This contained a lot of refactoring of the existing appended signature
        verification code, so that IMA could retain the existing framework of
        calculating the file hash once, storing it in the IMA measurement list
        and extending the TPM, verifying the file's integrity based on a file
        hash or signature (eg. xattrs), and adding an audit record containing
        the file hash, all based on policy. (The IMA support for appended
        signatures patch set was posted and reviewed 11 times.)
      
        The support for appended signature paves the way for adding other
        signature verification methods, such as fs-verity, based on a single
        system-wide policy. The file hash used for verifying the signature and
        the signature, itself, can be included in the IMA measurement list"

       "Highlights:
      
         - Add a new knfsd file cache, so that we don't have to open and close
           on each (NFSv2/v3) READ or WRITE. This can speed up read and write
           in some cases. It also replaces our readahead cache.
      
         - Prevent silent data loss on write errors, by treating write errors
           like server reboots for the purposes of write caching, thus forcing
           clients to resend their writes.
      
         - Tweak the code that allocates sessions to be more forgiving, so
           that NFSv4.1 mounts are less likely to hang when a server already
           has a lot of clients.
      
         - Eliminate an arbitrary limit on NFSv4 ACL sizes; they should now be
           limited only by the backend filesystem and the maximum RPC size.
      
         - Allow the server to enforce use of the correct kerberos credentials

       "Virtio-fs allows exporting directory trees on the host and mounting

        This isn't actually a new filesystem, but a glue layer between the
        fuse filesystem and a virtio based back-end.
      
        It's similar in functionality to the existing virtio-9p solution, but
        significantly faster in benchmarks and has better POSIX compliance.
        Further permformance improvements can be achieved by sharing the page
        cache between host and guest, allowing for faster I/O and reduced
        memory use.
      
        Kata Containers have been including the out-of-tree virtio-fs (with
        the shared page cache patches as well) since version 1.7 as an
        experimental feature. They have been active in development and plan to
        switch from virtio-9p to virtio-fs as their default solution. There
        has been interest from other sources as well.
