3.1 /proc/<pid>/oom_adj & /proc/<pid>/oom_score_adj - Adjust the oom-killer
|
oom: badness heuristic rewrite
This a complete rewrite of the oom killer's badness() heuristic which is
used to determine which task to kill in oom conditions. The goal is to
make it as simple and predictable as possible so the results are better
understood and we end up killing the task which will lead to the most
memory freeing while still respecting the fine-tuning from userspace.
Instead of basing the heuristic on mm->total_vm for each task, the task's
rss and swap space is used instead. This is a better indication of the
amount of memory that will be freeable if the oom killed task is chosen
and subsequently exits. This helps specifically in cases where KDE or
GNOME is chosen for oom kill on desktop systems instead of a memory
hogging task.
The baseline for the heuristic is a proportion of memory that each task is
currently using in memory plus swap compared to the amount of "allowable"
memory. "Allowable," in this sense, means the system-wide resources for
unconstrained oom conditions, the set of mempolicy nodes, the mems
attached to current's cpuset, or a memory controller's limit. The
proportion is given on a scale of 0 (never kill) to 1000 (always kill),
roughly meaning that if a task has a badness() score of 500 that the task
consumes approximately 50% of allowable memory resident in RAM or in swap
space.
The proportion is always relative to the amount of "allowable" memory and
not the total amount of RAM systemwide so that mempolicies and cpusets may
operate in isolation; they shall not need to know the true size of the
machine on which they are running if they are bound to a specific set of
nodes or mems, respectively.
Root tasks are given 3% extra memory just like __vm_enough_memory()
provides in LSMs. In the event of two tasks consuming similar amounts of
memory, it is generally better to save root's task.
Because of the change in the badness() heuristic's baseline, it is also
necessary to introduce a new user interface to tune it. It's not possible
to redefine the meaning of /proc/pid/oom_adj with a new scale since the
ABI cannot be changed for backward compatability. Instead, a new tunable,
/proc/pid/oom_score_adj, is added that ranges from -1000 to +1000. It may
be used to polarize the heuristic such that certain tasks are never
considered for oom kill while others may always be considered. The value
is added directly into the badness() score so a value of -500, for
example, means to discount 50% of its memory consumption in comparison to
other tasks either on the system, bound to the mempolicy, in the cpuset,
or sharing the same memory controller.
/proc/pid/oom_adj is changed so that its meaning is rescaled into the
units used by /proc/pid/oom_score_adj, and vice versa. Changing one of
these per-task tunables will rescale the value of the other to an
equivalent meaning. Although /proc/pid/oom_adj was originally defined as
a bitshift on the badness score, it now shares the same linear growth as
/proc/pid/oom_score_adj but with different granularity. This is required
so the ABI is not broken with userspace applications and allows oom_adj to
be deprecated for future removal.

procfs: add hidepid= and gid= mount options
Add support for mount options to restrict access to /proc/PID/
directories. The default backward-compatible "relaxed" behaviour is left
untouched.
The first mount option is called "hidepid" and its value defines how much
info about processes we want to be available for non-owners:
hidepid=0 (default) means the old behavior - anybody may read all
world-readable /proc/PID/* files.
hidepid=1 means users may not access any /proc/<pid>/ directories, but
their own. Sensitive files like cmdline, sched*, status are now protected
against other users. As permission checking done in proc_pid_permission()
and files' permissions are left untouched, programs expecting specific
files' modes are not confused.
hidepid=2 means hidepid=1 plus all /proc/PID/ will be invisible to other
users. It doesn't mean that it hides whether a process exists (it can be
learned by other means, e.g. by kill -0 $PID), but it hides process' euid
and egid. It compicates intruder's task of gathering info about running
processes, whether some daemon runs with elevated privileges, whether
another user runs some sensitive program, whether other users run any
program at all, etc.
gid=XXX defines a group that will be able to gather all processes' info
(as in hidepid=0 mode). This group should be used instead of putting
nonroot user in sudoers file or something. However, untrusted users (like
daemons, etc.) which are not supposed to monitor the tasks in the whole
system should not be added to the group.
hidepid=1 or higher is designed to restrict access to procfs files, which
might reveal some sensitive private information like precise keystrokes
timings:
http://www.openwall.com/lists/oss-security/2011/11/05/3
hidepid=1/2 doesn't break monitoring userspace tools. ps, top, pgrep, and
conky gracefully handle EPERM/ENOENT and behave as if the current user is
the only user running processes. pstree shows the process subtree which
contains "pstree" process.
Note: the patch doesn't deal with setuid/setgid issues of keeping
preopened descriptors of procfs files (like
https://lkml.org/lkml/2011/2/7/368). We rely on that the leaked
information like the scheduling counters of setuid apps doesn't threaten
anybody's privacy - only the user started the setuid program may read the
counters.

0.1 Introduction/Credits
|

------------------------
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
|
|
This documentation is part of a soon (or so we hope) to be released book on
|
|
|
|
|
the SuSE Linux distribution. As there is no complete documentation for the
|
|
|
|
|
/proc file system and we've used many freely available sources to write these
|
|
|
|
|
chapters, it seems only fair to give the work back to the Linux community.
|
|
|
|
|
This work is based on the 2.2.* kernel version and the upcoming 2.4.*. I'm
|
|
|
|
|
afraid it's still far from complete, but we hope it will be useful. As far as
|
|
|
|
|
we know, it is the first 'all-in-one' document about the /proc file system. It
|
|
|
|
|
is focused on the Intel x86 hardware, so if you are looking for PPC, ARM,
|
|
|
|
|
SPARC, AXP, etc., features, you probably won't find what you are looking for.
|
|
|
|
|
It also only covers IPv4 networking, not IPv6 nor other protocols - sorry. But
|
|
|
|
|
additions and patches are welcome and will be added to this document if you
|
|
|
|
|
mail them to Bodo.

|
|
|
|
|
other people for help compiling this documentation. We'd also like to extend a
|
|
|
|
|
special thank you to Andi Kleen for documentation, which we relied on heavily
|
|
|
|
|
to create this document, as well as the additional information he provided.

CHAPTER 1: COLLECTING SYSTEM INFORMATION

In This Chapter
|
|
|
|
|
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
|
* Investigating the properties of the pseudo file system /proc and its
|
|
|
|
|
ability to provide information on the running Linux system
|
|
|
|
|
* Examining /proc's structure
|
|
|
|
|
* Uncovering various information about the kernel and the processes running
|
|
|
|
|
on the system
|

------------------------------------------------------------------------------
|

|
|
The proc file system acts as an interface to internal data structures in the
|
|
|
|
|
kernel. It can be used to obtain information about the system and to change
|
|
|
|
|
certain kernel parameters at runtime (sysctl).
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
First, we'll take a look at the read-only parts of /proc. In Chapter 2, we
|
|
|
|
|
show you how you can use /proc/sys to change settings.
|
|
|

|
1.1 Process-Specific Subdirectories
|
|
|
|
|
-----------------------------------
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The directory /proc contains (among other things) one subdirectory for each
|
|
|
|
|
process running on the system, which is named after the process ID (PID).
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The link self points to the process reading the file system. Each process
|
|
|
|
|
subdirectory has the entries listed in Table 1-1.

fs/proc, core/debug: Don't expose absolute kernel addresses via wchan
So the /proc/PID/stat 'wchan' field (the 30th field, which contains
the absolute kernel address of the kernel function a task is blocked in)
leaks absolute kernel addresses to unprivileged user-space:
seq_put_decimal_ull(m, ' ', wchan);
The absolute address might also leak via /proc/PID/wchan as well, if
KALLSYMS is turned off or if the symbol lookup fails for some reason:
static int proc_pid_wchan(struct seq_file *m, struct pid_namespace *ns,
struct pid *pid, struct task_struct *task)
{
unsigned long wchan;
char symname[KSYM_NAME_LEN];
wchan = get_wchan(task);
if (lookup_symbol_name(wchan, symname) < 0) {
if (!ptrace_may_access(task, PTRACE_MODE_READ))
return 0;
seq_printf(m, "%lu", wchan);
} else {
seq_printf(m, "%s", symname);
}
return 0;
}
This isn't ideal, because for example it trivially leaks the KASLR offset
to any local attacker:
fomalhaut:~> printf "%016lx\n" $(cat /proc/$$/stat | cut -d' ' -f35)
ffffffff8123b380
Most real-life uses of wchan are symbolic:
ps -eo pid:10,tid:10,wchan:30,comm
and procps uses /proc/PID/wchan, not the absolute address in /proc/PID/stat:
triton:~/tip> strace -f ps -eo pid:10,tid:10,wchan:30,comm 2>&1 | grep wchan | tail -1
open("/proc/30833/wchan", O_RDONLY) = 6
There's one compatibility quirk here: procps relies on whether the
absolute value is non-zero - and we can provide that functionality
by outputing "0" or "1" depending on whether the task is blocked
(whether there's a wchan address).
These days there appears to be very little legitimate reason
user-space would be interested in the absolute address. The
absolute address is mostly historic: from the days when we
didn't have kallsyms and user-space procps had to do the
decoding itself via the System.map.
So this patch sets all numeric output to "0" or "1" and keeps only
symbolic output, in /proc/PID/wchan.
( The absolute sleep address can generally still be profiled via
perf, by tasks with sufficient privileges. )

mm, procfs: breakdown RSS for anon, shmem and file in /proc/pid/status
There are several shortcomings with the accounting of shared memory
(SysV shm, shared anonymous mapping, mapping of a tmpfs file). The
values in /proc/<pid>/status and <...>/statm don't allow to distinguish
between shmem memory and a shared mapping to a regular file, even though
theirs implication on memory usage are quite different: during reclaim,
file mapping can be dropped or written back on disk, while shmem needs a
place in swap.
Also, to distinguish the memory occupied by anonymous and file mappings,
one has to read the /proc/pid/statm file, which has a field for the file
mappings (again, including shmem) and total memory occupied by these
mappings (i.e. equivalent to VmRSS in the <...>/status file. Getting
the value for anonymous mappings only is thus not exactly user-friendly
(the statm file is intended to be rather efficiently machine-readable).
To address both of these shortcomings, this patch adds a breakdown of
VmRSS in /proc/<pid>/status via new fields RssAnon, RssFile and
RssShmem, making use of the previous preparatory patch. These fields
tell the user the memory occupied by private anonymous pages, mapped
regular files and shmem, respectively. Other existing fields in /status
and /statm files are left without change. The /statm file can be
extended in the future, if there's a need for that.

This shows you nearly the same information you would get if you viewed it with

|
the ps command. In fact, ps uses the proc file system to obtain its

information. But you get a more detailed view of the process by reading the

file /proc/PID/status. It fields are described in table 1-2.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|

The statm file contains more detailed information about the process
|
|
|
|
|
memory usage. Its seven fields are explained in Table 1-3. The stat file
|
|
|
|
|
contains details information about the process itself. Its fields are
|
|
|
|
|
explained in Table 1-4.

mm, documentation: clarify /proc/pid/status VmSwap limitations for shmem
This series is based on Jerome Marchand's [1] so let me quote the first
paragraph from there:
There are several shortcomings with the accounting of shared memory
(sysV shm, shared anonymous mapping, mapping to a tmpfs file). The
values in /proc/<pid>/status and statm don't allow to distinguish
between shmem memory and a shared mapping to a regular file, even though
their implications on memory usage are quite different: at reclaim, file
mapping can be dropped or written back on disk while shmem needs a place
in swap. As for shmem pages that are swapped-out or in swap cache, they
aren't accounted at all.
The original motivation for myself is that a customer found (IMHO
rightfully) confusing that e.g. top output for process swap usage is
unreliable with respect to swapped out shmem pages, which are not
accounted for.
The fundamental difference between private anonymous and shmem pages is
that the latter has PTE's converted to pte_none, and not swapents. As
such, they are not accounted to the number of swapents visible e.g. in
/proc/pid/status VmSwap row. It might be theoretically possible to use
swapents when swapping out shmem (without extra cost, as one has to
change all mappers anyway), and on swap in only convert the swapent for
the faulting process, leaving swapents in other processes until they
also fault (so again no extra cost). But I don't know how many
assumptions this would break, and it would be too disruptive change for
a relatively small benefit.
Instead, my approach is to document the limitation of VmSwap, and
provide means to determine the swap usage for shmem areas for those who
are interested and willing to pay the price, using /proc/pid/smaps.
Because outside of ipcs, I don't think it's possible to currently to
determine the usage at all. The previous patchset [1] did introduce new
shmem-specific fields into smaps output, and functions to determine the
values. I take a simpler approach, noting that smaps output already has
a "Swap: X kB" line, where currently X == 0 always for shmem areas. I
think we can just consider this a bug and provide the proper value by
consulting the radix tree, as e.g. mincore_page() does. In the patch
changelog I explain why this is also not perfect (and cannot be without
swapents), but still arguably much better than showing a 0.
The last two patches are adapted from Jerome's patchset and provide a
VmRSS breakdown to RssAnon, RssFile and RssShm in /proc/pid/status.
Hugh noted that this is a welcome addition, and I agree that it might
help e.g. debugging process memory usage at albeit non-zero, but still
rather low cost of extra per-mm counter and some page flag checks.
[1] http://lwn.net/Articles/611966/
This patch (of 6):
The documentation for /proc/pid/status does not mention that the value
of VmSwap counts only swapped out anonymous private pages, and not
swapped out pages of the underlying shmem objects (for shmem mappings).
This is not obvious, so document this limitation.

procfs: mark thread stack correctly in proc/<pid>/maps
Stack for a new thread is mapped by userspace code and passed via
sys_clone. This memory is currently seen as anonymous in
/proc/<pid>/maps, which makes it difficult to ascertain which mappings
are being used for thread stacks. This patch uses the individual task
stack pointers to determine which vmas are actually thread stacks.
For a multithreaded program like the following:
#include <pthread.h>
void *thread_main(void *foo)
{
while(1);
}
int main()
{
pthread_t t;
pthread_create(&t, NULL, thread_main, NULL);
pthread_join(t, NULL);
}
proc/PID/maps looks like the following:

Here, one could guess that 7f8a44492000-7f8a44c92000 is a stack since
the earlier vma that has no permissions (7f8a44e3d000-7f8a4503d000) but
that is not always a reliable way to find out which vma is a thread
stack. Also, /proc/PID/maps and /proc/PID/task/TID/maps has the same
content.
With this patch in place, /proc/PID/task/TID/maps are treated as 'maps
as the task would see it' and hence, only the vma that that task uses as
stack is marked as [stack]. All other 'stack' vmas are marked as
anonymous memory. /proc/PID/maps acts as a thread group level view,
where all thread stack vmas are marked as [stack:TID] where TID is the
process ID of the task that uses that vma as stack, while the process
stack is marked as [stack].
So /proc/PID/maps will look like this:

fs/proc, core/debug: Don't expose absolute kernel addresses via wchan
So the /proc/PID/stat 'wchan' field (the 30th field, which contains
the absolute kernel address of the kernel function a task is blocked in)
leaks absolute kernel addresses to unprivileged user-space:
seq_put_decimal_ull(m, ' ', wchan);
The absolute address might also leak via /proc/PID/wchan as well, if
KALLSYMS is turned off or if the symbol lookup fails for some reason:
static int proc_pid_wchan(struct seq_file *m, struct pid_namespace *ns,
struct pid *pid, struct task_struct *task)
{
unsigned long wchan;
char symname[KSYM_NAME_LEN];
wchan = get_wchan(task);
if (lookup_symbol_name(wchan, symname) < 0) {
if (!ptrace_may_access(task, PTRACE_MODE_READ))
return 0;
seq_printf(m, "%lu", wchan);
} else {
seq_printf(m, "%s", symname);
}
return 0;
}
This isn't ideal, because for example it trivially leaks the KASLR offset
to any local attacker:
fomalhaut:~> printf "%016lx\n" $(cat /proc/$$/stat | cut -d' ' -f35)
ffffffff8123b380
Most real-life uses of wchan are symbolic:
ps -eo pid:10,tid:10,wchan:30,comm
and procps uses /proc/PID/wchan, not the absolute address in /proc/PID/stat:
triton:~/tip> strace -f ps -eo pid:10,tid:10,wchan:30,comm 2>&1 | grep wchan | tail -1
open("/proc/30833/wchan", O_RDONLY) = 6
There's one compatibility quirk here: procps relies on whether the
absolute value is non-zero - and we can provide that functionality
by outputing "0" or "1" depending on whether the task is blocked
(whether there's a wchan address).
These days there appears to be very little legitimate reason
user-space would be interested in the absolute address. The
absolute address is mostly historic: from the days when we
didn't have kallsyms and user-space procps had to do the
decoding itself via the System.map.
So this patch sets all numeric output to "0" or "1" and keeps only
symbolic output, in /proc/PID/wchan.
( The absolute sleep address can generally still be profiled via
perf, by tasks with sufficient privileges. )

|
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
|
process' proportional share of this mapping (PSS), the number of clean and
|
2015-09-08 22:00:24 +00:00
|
|
|
dirty private pages in the mapping.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The "proportional set size" (PSS) of a process is the count of pages it has
|
|
|
|
|
in memory, where each page is divided by the number of processes sharing it.
|
|
|
|
|
So if a process has 1000 pages all to itself, and 1000 shared with one other
|
|
|
|
|
process, its PSS will be 1500.
|
|
|
|
|
Note that even a page which is part of a MAP_SHARED mapping, but has only
|
|
|
|
|
a single pte mapped, i.e. is currently used by only one process, is accounted
|
|
|
|
|
as private and not as shared.
|
|
|
|
|
"Referenced" indicates the amount of memory currently marked as referenced or
|
|

|
accessed.
|
2010-10-27 22:34:10 +00:00
|
|
|
"Anonymous" shows the amount of memory that does not belong to any file. Even
|
|
|
|
|
a mapping associated with a file may contain anonymous pages: when MAP_PRIVATE
|
|
|
|
|
and a page is modified, the file page is replaced by a private anonymous copy.
|
2017-05-03 21:52:42 +00:00
|
|
|
"LazyFree" shows the amount of memory which is marked by madvise(MADV_FREE).
|
|
|
|
|
The memory isn't freed immediately with madvise(). It's freed in memory
|
|
|
|
|
pressure if the memory is clean. Please note that the printed value might
|
|
|
|
|
be lower than the real value due to optimizations used in the current

implementation. If this is not desirable please file a bug report.

"Swap" shows how much would-be-anonymous memory is also used, but out on swap.

mm, proc: account for shmem swap in /proc/pid/smaps
Currently, /proc/pid/smaps will always show "Swap: 0 kB" for
shmem-backed mappings, even if the mapped portion does contain pages
that were swapped out. This is because unlike private anonymous
mappings, shmem does not change pte to swap entry, but pte_none when
swapping the page out. In the smaps page walk, such page thus looks
like it was never faulted in.
This patch changes smaps_pte_entry() to determine the swap status for
such pte_none entries for shmem mappings, similarly to how
mincore_page() does it. Swapped out shmem pages are thus accounted for.
For private mappings of tmpfs files that COWed some of the pages, swaped
out status of the original shmem pages is naturally ignored. If some of
the private copies was also swapped out, they are accounted via their
page table swap entries, so the resulting reported swap usage is then a
sum of both swapped out private copies, and swapped out shmem pages that
were not COWed. No double accounting can thus happen.
The accounting is arguably still not as precise as for private anonymous
mappings, since now we will count also pages that the process in
question never accessed, but another process populated them and then let
them become swapped out. I believe it is still less confusing and
subtle than not showing any swap usage by shmem mappings at all.
Swapped out counter might of interest of users who would like to prevent
from future swapins during performance critical operation and pre-fault
them at their convenience. Especially for larger swapped out regions
the cost of swapin is much higher than a fresh page allocation. So a
differentiation between pte_none vs. swapped out is important for those
usecases.
One downside of this patch is that it makes /proc/pid/smaps more
expensive for shmem mappings, as we consult the radix tree for each
pte_none entry, so the overal complexity is O(n*log(n)). I have
measured this on a process that creates a 2GB mapping and dirties single
pages with a stride of 2MB, and time how long does it take to cat
/proc/pid/smaps of this process 100 times.
Private anonymous mapping:
real 0m0.949s
user 0m0.116s
sys 0m0.348s
Mapping of a /dev/shm/file:
real 0m3.831s
user 0m0.180s
sys 0m3.212s
The difference is rather substantial, so the next patch will reduce the
cost for shared or read-only mappings.
In a less controlled experiment, I've gathered pids of processes on my
desktop that have either '/dev/shm/*' or 'SYSV*' in smaps. This
included the Chrome browser and some KDE processes. Again, I've run cat
/proc/pid/smaps on each 100 times.
Before this patch:
real 0m9.050s
user 0m0.518s
sys 0m8.066s
After this patch:
real 0m9.221s
user 0m0.541s
sys 0m8.187s
This suggests low impact on average systems.
Note that this patch doesn't attempt to adjust the SwapPss field for
shmem mappings, which would need extra work to determine who else could
have the pages mapped. Thus the value stays zero except for COWed
swapped out pages in a shmem mapping, which are accounted as usual.

Note: reading /proc/PID/maps or /proc/PID/smaps is inherently racy (consistent

output can be achieved only in the single read call).
|
|
|
|
|
This typically manifests when doing partial reads of these files while the
|

memory map is being modified. Despite the races, we do provide the following

|
guarantees:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
1) The mapped addresses never go backwards, which implies no two

|
regions will ever overlap.
|
|

|
|
2) If there is something at a given vaddr during the entirety of the

life of the smaps/maps walk, there will be some output for it.

mm: soft-dirty bits for user memory changes tracking
The soft-dirty is a bit on a PTE which helps to track which pages a task
writes to. In order to do this tracking one should
1. Clear soft-dirty bits from PTEs ("echo 4 > /proc/PID/clear_refs)
2. Wait some time.
3. Read soft-dirty bits (55'th in /proc/PID/pagemap2 entries)
To do this tracking, the writable bit is cleared from PTEs when the
soft-dirty bit is. Thus, after this, when the task tries to modify a
page at some virtual address the #PF occurs and the kernel sets the
soft-dirty bit on the respective PTE.
Note, that although all the task's address space is marked as r/o after
the soft-dirty bits clear, the #PF-s that occur after that are processed
fast. This is so, since the pages are still mapped to physical memory,
and thus all the kernel does is finds this fact out and puts back
writable, dirty and soft-dirty bits on the PTE.
Another thing to note, is that when mremap moves PTEs they are marked
with soft-dirty as well, since from the user perspective mremap modifies
the virtual memory at mremap's new address.

The /proc/pid/numa_maps is an extension based on maps, showing the memory

locality and binding policy, as well as the memory usage (in pages) of

each mapping. The output follows a general format where mapping details get

1.2 Kernel data
|
|
|
|
|
---------------
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Similar to the process entries, the kernel data files give information about
|
|
|
|
|
the running kernel. The files used to obtain this information are contained in
|
2009-06-17 23:26:01 +00:00
|
|
|
/proc and are listed in Table 1-5. Not all of these will be present in your
|
2005-04-16 22:20:36 +00:00
|
|
|
system. It depends on the kernel configuration and the loaded modules, which
|
|
|
|
|
files are there, and which are missing.

You can, for example, check which interrupts are currently in use and what
|
|
|
|
|
they are used for by looking in the file /proc/interrupts:

output of a SMP machine):

NMI is incremented in this case because every timer interrupt generates a NMI
|
|
|
|
|
(Non Maskable Interrupt) which is used by the NMI Watchdog to detect lockups.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
LOC is the local interrupt counter of the internal APIC of every CPU.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
ERR is incremented in the case of errors in the IO-APIC bus (the bus that
|
|
|
|
|
connects the CPUs in a SMP system. This means that an error has been detected,
|
|
|
|
|
the IO-APIC automatically retry the transmission, so it should not be a big
|
|
|
|
|
problem, but you should read the SMP-FAQ.

In 2.6.2* /proc/interrupts was expanded again. This time the goal was for
|
|
|
|
|
/proc/interrupts to display every IRQ vector in use by the system, not
|
|
|
|
|
just those considered 'most important'. The new vectors are:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
THR -- interrupt raised when a machine check threshold counter
|
|
|
|
|
(typically counting ECC corrected errors of memory or cache) exceeds
|
|
|
|
|
a configurable threshold. Only available on some systems.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
TRM -- a thermal event interrupt occurs when a temperature threshold
|
|
|
|
|
has been exceeded for the CPU. This interrupt may also be generated
|
|
|
|
|
when the temperature drops back to normal.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
SPU -- a spurious interrupt is some interrupt that was raised then lowered
|
|
|
|
|
by some IO device before it could be fully processed by the APIC. Hence
|
|
|
|
|
the APIC sees the interrupt but does not know what device it came from.
|
|
|
|
|
For this case the APIC will generate the interrupt with a IRQ vector
|
|
|
|
|
of 0xff. This might also be generated by chipset bugs.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
RES, CAL, TLB -- rescheduling, call and TLB flush interrupts are
|
|
|
|
|
sent from one CPU to another per the needs of the OS. Typically,
|
|
|
|
|
their statistics are used by kernel developers and interested users to
|
2009-04-27 13:06:31 +00:00
|
|
|
determine the occurrence of interrupts of the given type.
|
2007-10-17 16:04:40 +00:00
|
|
|
|
2011-03-31 01:57:33 +00:00
|
|
|
The above IRQ vectors are displayed only when relevant. For example,
|
2007-10-17 16:04:40 +00:00
|
|
|
the threshold vector does not exist on x86_64 platforms. Others are
|
|
|
|
|
suppressed when the system is a uniprocessor. As of this writing, only
|
|
|
|
|
i386 and x86_64 platforms support the new IRQ vector displays.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Of some interest is the introduction of the /proc/irq directory to 2.4.
|
2005-04-16 22:20:36 +00:00
|
|
|
It could be used to set IRQ to CPU affinity, this means that you can "hook" an
|
|
|
|
|
IRQ to only one CPU, or to exclude a CPU of handling IRQs. The contents of the
|
2008-05-29 18:02:52 +00:00
|
|
|
irq subdir is one subdir for each IRQ, and two files; default_smp_affinity and
|
|
|
|
|
prof_cpu_mask.
|
2005-04-16 22:20:36 +00:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
For example
|
|
|
|
|
> ls /proc/irq/
|
|
|
|
|
0 10 12 14 16 18 2 4 6 8 prof_cpu_mask
|
2008-05-29 18:02:52 +00:00
|
|
|
1 11 13 15 17 19 3 5 7 9 default_smp_affinity
|
2005-04-16 22:20:36 +00:00
|
|
|
> ls /proc/irq/0/

|
|
|
|
smp_affinity
|
|
|
|
|
|
2008-05-29 18:02:52 +00:00
|
|
|
smp_affinity is a bitmask, in which you can specify which CPUs can handle the
|
|
|
|
|
IRQ, you can set it by doing:
|
2005-04-16 22:20:36 +00:00
|
|
|
|
2008-05-29 18:02:52 +00:00
|
|
|
> echo 1 > /proc/irq/10/smp_affinity
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
This means that only the first CPU will handle the IRQ, but you can also echo
|
2016-06-17 13:05:15 +00:00
|
|
|
5 which means that only the first and third CPU can handle the IRQ.
|
2005-04-16 22:20:36 +00:00
|
|
|
|
2008-05-29 18:02:52 +00:00
|
|
|
The contents of each smp_affinity file is the same by default:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
> cat /proc/irq/0/smp_affinity
|
|
|
|
|
ffffffff

|
bitmap, irq: add smp_affinity_list interface to /proc/irq
Manually adjusting the smp_affinity for IRQ's becomes unwieldy when the
cpu count is large.
Setting smp affinity to cpus 256 to 263 would be:
echo 000000ff,00000000,00000000,00000000,00000000,00000000,00000000,00000000 > smp_affinity
instead of:
echo 256-263 > smp_affinity_list
Think about what it looks like for cpus around say, 4088 to 4095.
We already have many alternate "list" interfaces:
/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpuX/indexY/shared_cpu_list
/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpuX/topology/thread_siblings_list
/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpuX/topology/core_siblings_list
/sys/devices/system/node/nodeX/cpulist
/sys/devices/pci***/***/local_cpulist
Add a companion interface, smp_affinity_list to use cpu lists instead of
cpu maps. This conforms to other companion interfaces where both a map
and a list interface exists.
This required adding a bitmap_parselist_user() function in a manner
similar to the bitmap_parse_user() function.

There is an alternate interface, smp_affinity_list which allows specifying
|
|
|
|
|
a cpu range instead of a bitmask:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
|
|
2008-05-29 18:02:52 +00:00
|
|
|
The default_smp_affinity mask applies to all non-active IRQs, which are the
|
|
|
|
|
IRQs which have not yet been allocated/activated, and hence which lack a
|
|
|
|
|
/proc/irq/[0-9]* directory.

The node file on an SMP system shows the node to which the device using the IRQ
|
|

|
|
reports itself as being attached. This hardware locality information does not

Think about what it looks like for cpus around say, 4088 to 4095.
We already have many alternate "list" interfaces:
/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpuX/indexY/shared_cpu_list
/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpuX/topology/thread_siblings_list
/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpuX/topology/core_siblings_list
/sys/devices/system/node/nodeX/cpulist
/sys/devices/pci***/***/local_cpulist
Add a companion interface, smp_affinity_list to use cpu lists instead of
cpu maps. This conforms to other companion interfaces where both a map
and a list interface exists.
This required adding a bitmap_parselist_user() function in a manner
similar to the bitmap_parse_user() function.

The way IRQs are routed is handled by the IO-APIC, and it's Round Robin
|
|
|
|
|
between all the CPUs which are allowed to handle it. As usual the kernel has
|
|
|
|
|
more info than you and does a better job than you, so the defaults are the
|
bitmap, irq: add smp_affinity_list interface to /proc/irq
Manually adjusting the smp_affinity for IRQ's becomes unwieldy when the
cpu count is large.
Setting smp affinity to cpus 256 to 263 would be:
echo 000000ff,00000000,00000000,00000000,00000000,00000000,00000000,00000000 > smp_affinity

There are three more important subdirectories in /proc: net, scsi, and sys.
|
|
|
|
|
The general rule is that the contents, or even the existence of these
|
|
|
|
|
directories, depend on your kernel configuration. If SCSI is not enabled, the
|
|
|
|
|
directory scsi may not exist. The same is true with the net, which is there
|
|
|
|
|
only when networking support is present in the running kernel.

The slabinfo file gives information about memory usage at the slab level.
|
|
|
|
|
Linux uses slab pools for memory management above page level in version 2.2.
|
|
|
|
|
Commonly used objects have their own slab pool (such as network buffers,
|
|
|
|
|
directory cache, and so on).

Fragmentation avoidance in the kernel works by grouping pages of different
|
|
|
|
|
migrate types into the same contiguous regions of memory called page blocks.
|
|
|
|
|
A page block is typically the size of the default hugepage size e.g. 2MB on
|
|
|
|
|
X86-64. By keeping pages grouped based on their ability to move, the kernel
|
|
|
|
|
can reclaim pages within a page block to satisfy a high-order allocation.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The pagetypinfo begins with information on the size of a page block. It
|
|
|
|
|
then gives the same type of information as buddyinfo except broken down
|
|
|
|
|
by migrate-type and finishes with details on how many page blocks of each
|
|
|
|
|
type exist.

|
|
|
make an estimate of the likely number of huge pages that can be allocated

|

|
|
at a given point in time. All the "Movable" blocks should be allocatable
|
|
|

|
unless memory has been mlock()'d. Some of the Reclaimable blocks should
|
|

also be allocatable although a lot of filesystem metadata may have to be

/proc/meminfo: provide estimated available memory
Many load balancing and workload placing programs check /proc/meminfo to
estimate how much free memory is available. They generally do this by
adding up "free" and "cached", which was fine ten years ago, but is
pretty much guaranteed to be wrong today.
It is wrong because Cached includes memory that is not freeable as page
cache, for example shared memory segments, tmpfs, and ramfs, and it does
not include reclaimable slab memory, which can take up a large fraction
of system memory on mostly idle systems with lots of files.
Currently, the amount of memory that is available for a new workload,
without pushing the system into swap, can be estimated from MemFree,
Active(file), Inactive(file), and SReclaimable, as well as the "low"
watermarks from /proc/zoneinfo.
However, this may change in the future, and user space really should not
be expected to know kernel internals to come up with an estimate for the
amount of free memory.
It is more convenient to provide such an estimate in /proc/meminfo. If
things change in the future, we only have to change it in one place.

CommitLimit: Based on the overcommit ratio ('vm.overcommit_ratio'),
|
|
|
|
|
this is the total amount of memory currently available to
|
|
|
|
|
be allocated on the system. This limit is only adhered to
|
|
|
|
|
if strict overcommit accounting is enabled (mode 2 in
|
|
|
|
|
'vm.overcommit_memory').
|
|
|
|
|
The CommitLimit is calculated with the following formula:
|
2014-05-22 12:04:44 +00:00
|
|
|
CommitLimit = ([total RAM pages] - [total huge TLB pages]) *
|
|
|
|
|
overcommit_ratio / 100 + [total swap pages]
|
2005-04-16 22:20:36 +00:00
|
|
|
For example, on a system with 1G of physical RAM and 7G
|
|
|
|
|
of swap with a `vm.overcommit_ratio` of 30 it would
|
|
|
|
|
yield a CommitLimit of 7.3G.

|
|
For more details, see the memory overcommit documentation

in vm/overcommit-accounting.

has been allocated by processes, even if it has not been

|
|

"used" by them as of yet. A process which malloc()'s 1G
|
2013-09-11 21:24:35 +00:00
|
|
|
of memory, but only touches 300M of it will show up as
|
|
|
|
|
using 1G. This 1G is memory which has been "committed" to
|
|
|
|
|
by the VM and can be used at any time by the allocating
|
|
|
|
|
application. With strict overcommit enabled on the system
|
|
|
|
|
(mode 2 in 'vm.overcommit_memory'),allocations which would
|
|
|
|
|
exceed the CommitLimit (detailed above) will not be permitted.
|
|
|
|
|
This is useful if one needs to guarantee that processes will
|
|
|
|
|
not fail due to lack of memory once that memory has been
|
|
|
|
|
successfully allocated.

rcu: Use softirq to address performance regression
Commit a26ac2455ffcf3(rcu: move TREE_RCU from softirq to kthread)
introduced performance regression. In an AIM7 test, this commit degraded
performance by about 40%.
The commit runs rcu callbacks in a kthread instead of softirq. We observed
high rate of context switch which is caused by this. Out test system has
64 CPUs and HZ is 1000, so we saw more than 64k context switch per second
which is caused by RCU's per-CPU kthread. A trace showed that most of
the time the RCU per-CPU kthread doesn't actually handle any callbacks,
but instead just does a very small amount of work handling grace periods.
This means that RCU's per-CPU kthreads are making the scheduler do quite
a bit of work in order to allow a very small amount of RCU-related
processing to be done.
Alex Shi's analysis determined that this slowdown is due to lock
contention within the scheduler. Unfortunately, as Peter Zijlstra points
out, the scheduler's real-time semantics require global action, which
means that this contention is inherent in real-time scheduling. (Yes,
perhaps someone will come up with a workaround -- otherwise, -rt is not
going to do well on large SMP systems -- but this patch will work around
this issue in the meantime. And "the meantime" might well be forever.)
This patch therefore re-introduces softirq processing to RCU, but only
for core RCU work. RCU callbacks are still executed in kthread context,
so that only a small amount of RCU work runs in softirq context in the
common case. This should minimize ksoftirqd execution, allowing us to
skip boosting of ksoftirqd for CONFIG_RCU_BOOST=y kernels.

1.3 IDE devices in /proc/ide
|
|
|
|
|
----------------------------
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The subdirectory /proc/ide contains information about all IDE devices of which
|
|
|
|
|
the kernel is aware. There is one subdirectory for each IDE controller, the
|
|
|
|
|
file drivers and a link for each IDE device, pointing to the device directory
|
|
|
|
|
in the controller specific subtree.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The file drivers contains general information about the drivers used for the
|
|
|
|
|
IDE devices:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
> cat /proc/ide/drivers

|
|
|
|
|
ide-disk version 1.08
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
More detailed information can be found in the controller specific
|
|
|
|
|
subdirectories. These are named ide0, ide1 and so on. Each of these
|
2009-06-17 23:26:01 +00:00
|
|
|
directories contains the files shown in table 1-6.

In addition, each Channel Bond interface has its own directory. For
|
2005-04-16 22:20:36 +00:00
|
|
|
example, the bond0 device will have a directory called /proc/net/bond0/.
|
|
|
|
|
It will contain information that is specific to that bond, such as the
|
|
|
|
|
current slaves of the bond, the link status of the slaves, and how
|
|
|
|
|
many times the slaves link has failed.

1.5 SCSI info
|
|
|
|
|
-------------
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
If you have a SCSI host adapter in your system, you'll find a subdirectory
|
|
|
|
|
named after the driver for this adapter in /proc/scsi. You'll also see a list
|
|
|
|
|
of all recognized SCSI devices in /proc/scsi:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
>cat /proc/scsi/scsi
|
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The directory named after the driver has one file for each adapter found in
|
|
|
|
|
the system. These files contain information about the controller, including
|
|
|
|
|
the used IRQ and the IO address range. The amount of information shown is
|
|
|
|
|
dependent on the adapter you use. The example shows the output for an Adaptec
|
|
|

The very first "cpu" line aggregates the numbers in all of the other "cpuN"
|
|
|
|
|
lines. These numbers identify the amount of time the CPU has spent performing
|
|
|
|
|
different kinds of work. Time units are in USER_HZ (typically hundredths of a
|
|
|
|
|
second). The meanings of the columns are as follows, from left to right:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- user: normal processes executing in user mode
|
|
|
|
|
- nice: niced processes executing in user mode
|
|
|
|
|
- system: processes executing in kernel mode
|
|
|
|
|
- idle: twiddling thumbs

|
|
- iowait: In a word, iowait stands for waiting for I/O to complete. But there
|
|
|
|
|
are several problems:
|
|
|
|
|
1. Cpu will not wait for I/O to complete, iowait is the time that a task is
|
|
|
|
|
waiting for I/O to complete. When cpu goes into idle state for
|
|
|
|
|
outstanding task io, another task will be scheduled on this CPU.
|
|
|
|
|
2. In a multi-core CPU, the task waiting for I/O to complete is not running
|
|
|
|
|
on any CPU, so the iowait of each CPU is difficult to calculate.
|
|
|
|
|
3. The value of iowait field in /proc/stat will decrease in certain
|
|
|
|
|
conditions.
|
|
|
|
|
So, the iowait is not reliable by reading from /proc/stat.

Summary
|
|
|
|
|
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
|
The /proc file system serves information about the running system. It not only
|
|
|
|
|
allows access to process data but also allows you to request the kernel status
|
|
|
|
|
by reading files in the hierarchy.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The directory structure of /proc reflects the types of information and makes
|
|
|
|
|
it easy, if not obvious, where to look for specific data.

CHAPTER 2: MODIFYING SYSTEM PARAMETERS

In This Chapter
|
|

|
|
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
|
* Modifying kernel parameters by writing into files found in /proc/sys
|
|
|
|
|
* Exploring the files which modify certain parameters
|
|
|
|
|
* Review of the /proc/sys file tree
|
|
|

|
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
|

|
|
|
|
|
|
A very interesting part of /proc is the directory /proc/sys. This is not only
|
|
|
|
|
a source of information, it also allows you to change parameters within the
|
|
|
|
|
kernel. Be very careful when attempting this. You can optimize your system,
|
|
|
|
|
but you can also cause it to crash. Never alter kernel parameters on a
|
|
|
|
|
production system. Set up a development machine and test to make sure that
|
|
|
|
|
everything works the way you want it to. You may have no alternative but to
|
|
|
|
|
reboot the machine once an error has been made.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
To change a value, simply echo the new value into the file. An example is
|
|
|
|
|
given below in the section on the file system data. You need to be root to do
|
|
|
|
|
this. You can create your own boot script to perform this every time your
|
|
|
|
|
system boots.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The files in /proc/sys can be used to fine tune and monitor miscellaneous and
|
|
|
|
|
general things in the operation of the Linux kernel. Since some of the files
|
|
|
|
|
can inadvertently disrupt your system, it is advisable to read both
|
|
|
|
|
documentation and source before actually making adjustments. In any case, be
|
|
|
|
|
very careful when writing to any of these files. The entries in /proc may
|
|
|
|
|
change slightly between the 2.1.* and the 2.2 kernel, so if there is any doubt
|
|
|
|
|
review the kernel documentation in the directory /usr/src/linux/Documentation.
|
|
|
|
|
This chapter is heavily based on the documentation included in the pre 2.2
|
|
|
|
|
kernels, and became part of it in version 2.2.1 of the Linux kernel.

Summary
|
|
|
|
|
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
|
Certain aspects of kernel behavior can be modified at runtime, without the
|
|
|
|
|
need to recompile the kernel, or even to reboot the system. The files in the
|
|
|
|
|
/proc/sys tree can not only be read, but also modified. You can use the echo
|
|
|
|
|
command to write value into these files, thereby changing the default settings
|
|
|
|
|
of the kernel.

oom: badness heuristic rewrite
This a complete rewrite of the oom killer's badness() heuristic which is
used to determine which task to kill in oom conditions. The goal is to
make it as simple and predictable as possible so the results are better
understood and we end up killing the task which will lead to the most
memory freeing while still respecting the fine-tuning from userspace.
Instead of basing the heuristic on mm->total_vm for each task, the task's
rss and swap space is used instead. This is a better indication of the
amount of memory that will be freeable if the oom killed task is chosen
and subsequently exits. This helps specifically in cases where KDE or
GNOME is chosen for oom kill on desktop systems instead of a memory
hogging task.
The baseline for the heuristic is a proportion of memory that each task is
currently using in memory plus swap compared to the amount of "allowable"
memory. "Allowable," in this sense, means the system-wide resources for
unconstrained oom conditions, the set of mempolicy nodes, the mems
attached to current's cpuset, or a memory controller's limit. The
proportion is given on a scale of 0 (never kill) to 1000 (always kill),
roughly meaning that if a task has a badness() score of 500 that the task
consumes approximately 50% of allowable memory resident in RAM or in swap
space.
The proportion is always relative to the amount of "allowable" memory and
not the total amount of RAM systemwide so that mempolicies and cpusets may
operate in isolation; they shall not need to know the true size of the
machine on which they are running if they are bound to a specific set of
nodes or mems, respectively.
Root tasks are given 3% extra memory just like __vm_enough_memory()
provides in LSMs. In the event of two tasks consuming similar amounts of
memory, it is generally better to save root's task.
Because of the change in the badness() heuristic's baseline, it is also
necessary to introduce a new user interface to tune it. It's not possible
to redefine the meaning of /proc/pid/oom_adj with a new scale since the
ABI cannot be changed for backward compatability. Instead, a new tunable,
/proc/pid/oom_score_adj, is added that ranges from -1000 to +1000. It may
be used to polarize the heuristic such that certain tasks are never
considered for oom kill while others may always be considered. The value
is added directly into the badness() score so a value of -500, for
example, means to discount 50% of its memory consumption in comparison to
other tasks either on the system, bound to the mempolicy, in the cpuset,
or sharing the same memory controller.
/proc/pid/oom_adj is changed so that its meaning is rescaled into the
units used by /proc/pid/oom_score_adj, and vice versa. Changing one of
these per-task tunables will rescale the value of the other to an
equivalent meaning. Although /proc/pid/oom_adj was originally defined as
a bitshift on the badness score, it now shares the same linear growth as
/proc/pid/oom_score_adj but with different granularity. This is required
so the ABI is not broken with userspace applications and allows oom_adj to
be deprecated for future removal.

The badness heuristic assigns a value to each candidate task ranging from 0
|
|
|
|
|
(never kill) to 1000 (always kill) to determine which process is targeted. The
|
|
|
|
|
units are roughly a proportion along that range of allowed memory the process
|
|
|
|
|
may allocate from based on an estimation of its current memory and swap use.
|
|
|
|
|
For example, if a task is using all allowed memory, its badness score will be
|
|
|
|
|
1000. If it is using half of its allowed memory, its score will be 500.

mm, oom: base root bonus on current usage
A 3% of system memory bonus is sometimes too excessive in comparison to
other processes.
With commit a63d83f427fb ("oom: badness heuristic rewrite"), the OOM
killer tries to avoid killing privileged tasks by subtracting 3% of
overall memory (system or cgroup) from their per-task consumption. But
as a result, all root tasks that consume less than 3% of overall memory
are considered equal, and so it only takes 33+ privileged tasks pushing
the system out of memory for the OOM killer to do something stupid and
kill dhclient or other root-owned processes. For example, on a 32G
machine it can't tell the difference between the 1M agetty and the 10G
fork bomb member.
The changelog describes this 3% boost as the equivalent to the global
overcommit limit being 3% higher for privileged tasks, but this is not
the same as discounting 3% of overall memory from _every privileged task
individually_ during OOM selection.
Replace the 3% of system memory bonus with a 3% of current memory usage
bonus.
By giving root tasks a bonus that is proportional to their actual size,
they remain comparable even when relatively small. In the example
above, the OOM killer will discount the 1M agetty's 256 badness points
down to 179, and the 10G fork bomb's 262144 points down to 183500 points
and make the right choice, instead of discounting both to 0 and killing
agetty because it's first in the task list.

The amount of "allowed" memory depends on the context in which the oom killer
|
|
|
|
|
was called. If it is due to the memory assigned to the allocating task's cpuset
|
|
|
|
|
being exhausted, the allowed memory represents the set of mems assigned to that
|
|
|
|
|
cpuset. If it is due to a mempolicy's node(s) being exhausted, the allowed
|
|
|
|
|
memory represents the set of mempolicy nodes. If it is due to a memory
|
|
|
|
|
limit (or swap limit) being reached, the allowed memory is that configured
|
|
|
|
|
limit. Finally, if it is due to the entire system being out of memory, the
|
|
|
|
|
allowed memory represents all allocatable resources.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The value of /proc/<pid>/oom_score_adj is added to the badness score before it
|
|
|
|
|
is used to determine which task to kill. Acceptable values range from -1000
|
|
|
|
|
(OOM_SCORE_ADJ_MIN) to +1000 (OOM_SCORE_ADJ_MAX). This allows userspace to
|
|
|
|
|
polarize the preference for oom killing either by always preferring a certain
|
|
|
|
|
task or completely disabling it. The lowest possible value, -1000, is
|
|
|
|
|
equivalent to disabling oom killing entirely for that task since it will always
|
|
|
|
|
report a badness score of 0.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Consequently, it is very simple for userspace to define the amount of memory to
|
|
|
|
|
consider for each task. Setting a /proc/<pid>/oom_score_adj value of +500, for
|
|
|
|
|
example, is roughly equivalent to allowing the remainder of tasks sharing the
|
|
|
|
|
same system, cpuset, mempolicy, or memory controller resources to use at least
|
|
|
|
|
50% more memory. A value of -500, on the other hand, would be roughly
|
|
|
|
|
equivalent to discounting 50% of the task's allowed memory from being considered
|
|
|
|
|
as scoring against the task.
|
|
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
For backwards compatibility with previous kernels, /proc/<pid>/oom_adj may also
|
|
|
|
|
be used to tune the badness score. Its acceptable values range from -16
|
|
|
|
|
(OOM_ADJUST_MIN) to +15 (OOM_ADJUST_MAX) and a special value of -17
|
|
|
|
|
(OOM_DISABLE) to disable oom killing entirely for that task. Its value is
|
|
|
|
|
scaled linearly with /proc/<pid>/oom_score_adj.
|

|
|
|
|
2011-01-13 23:46:05 +00:00
|
|
|
The value of /proc/<pid>/oom_score_adj may be reduced no lower than the last
|
|
|
|
|
value set by a CAP_SYS_RESOURCE process. To reduce the value any lower
|
|
|
|
|
requires CAP_SYS_RESOURCE.

I/O counter: chars read
|
|
|
|
|
The number of bytes which this task has caused to be read from storage. This
|
|
|
|
|
is simply the sum of bytes which this process passed to read() and pread().
|
|
|
|
|
It includes things like tty IO and it is unaffected by whether or not actual
|
|
|
|
|
physical disk IO was required (the read might have been satisfied from
|
|
|
|
|
pagecache)

I/O counter: chars written
|
|
|
|

The number of bytes which this task has caused, or shall cause to be written
|

I/O counter: bytes read
|
|
|
|
|
Attempt to count the number of bytes which this process really did cause to
|
|
|
|
|
be fetched from the storage layer. Done at the submit_bio() level, so it is
|
|
|
|

accurate for block-backed filesystems. <please add status regarding NFS and

---------------------

|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The big inaccuracy here is truncate. If a process writes 1MB to a file and
|
|
|
|
|
then deletes the file, it will in fact perform no writeout. But it will have
|
|
|
|
|
been accounted as having caused 1MB of write.
|
|
|
|
|
In other words: The number of bytes which this process caused to not happen,
|
|
|
|
|
by truncating pagecache. A task can cause "negative" IO too. If this task
|
|
|
|
|
truncates some dirty pagecache, some IO which another task has been accounted
|
2010-04-22 22:08:02 +00:00
|
|
|
for (in its write_bytes) will not be happening. We _could_ just subtract that
|
2007-03-05 08:30:54 +00:00
|
|
|
from the truncating task's write_bytes, but there is information loss in doing
|
|
|
|
|
that.

|
|
At its current implementation state, this is a bit racy on 32-bit machines: if
|
|
|
|
|
process A reads process B's /proc/pid/io while process B is updating one of
|
|
|
|
|
those 64-bit counters, process A could see an intermediate result.

3.4 /proc/<pid>/coredump_filter - Core dump filtering settings
|
2007-07-19 08:48:31 +00:00
|
|
|
---------------------------------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
|
When a process is dumped, all anonymous memory is written to a core file as
|
|
|
|
|
long as the size of the core file isn't limited. But sometimes we don't want
|
2015-10-05 22:33:36 +00:00
|
|
|
to dump some memory segments, for example, huge shared memory or DAX.
|
|
|
|
|
Conversely, sometimes we want to save file-backed memory segments into a core
|
|
|
|
|
file, not only the individual files.
|
2007-07-19 08:48:31 +00:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
/proc/<pid>/coredump_filter allows you to customize which memory segments
|
|
|
|
|
will be dumped when the <pid> process is dumped. coredump_filter is a bitmask
|
|
|
|
|
of memory types. If a bit of the bitmask is set, memory segments of the
|
|
|
|
|
corresponding memory type are dumped, otherwise they are not dumped.
|
|
|
|
|
|
2015-10-05 22:33:36 +00:00
|
|
|
The following 9 memory types are supported:
|
2007-07-19 08:48:31 +00:00
|
|
|
- (bit 0) anonymous private memory
|
|
|
|
|
- (bit 1) anonymous shared memory
|
|
|
|
|
- (bit 2) file-backed private memory
|
|
|
|
|
- (bit 3) file-backed shared memory
|
2008-09-13 09:33:10 +00:00
|
|
|
- (bit 4) ELF header pages in file-backed private memory areas (it is
|
|
|
|
|
effective only if the bit 2 is cleared)
|
coredump_filter: add hugepage dumping
Presently hugepage's vma has a VM_RESERVED flag in order not to be
swapped. But a VM_RESERVED vma isn't core dumped because this flag is
often used for some kernel vmas (e.g. vmalloc, sound related).
Thus hugepages are never dumped and it can't be debugged easily. Many
developers want hugepages to be included into core-dump.
However, We can't read generic VM_RESERVED area because this area is often
IO mapping area. then these area reading may change device state. it is
definitly undesiable side-effect.
So adding a hugepage specific bit to the coredump filter is better. It
will be able to hugepage core dumping and doesn't cause any side-effect to
any i/o devices.
In additional, libhugetlb use hugetlb private mapping pages as anonymous
page. Then, hugepage private mapping pages should be core dumped by
default.
Then, /proc/[pid]/core_dump_filter has two new bits.
- bit 5 mean hugetlb private mapping pages are dumped or not. (default: yes)
- bit 6 mean hugetlb shared mapping pages are dumped or not. (default: no)

The default value of coredump_filter is 0x33; this means all anonymous memory
|
|
|
|
|
segments, ELF header pages and hugetlb private memory are dumped.
|
2007-07-19 08:48:31 +00:00

|
|
|
|
If you don't want to dump all shared memory segments attached to pid 1234,
|
2015-10-05 22:33:36 +00:00
|
|
|
write 0x31 to the process's proc file.

When a new process is created, the process inherits the bitmask status from its
|
|
|
|
|
parent. It is useful to set up coredump_filter before the program runs.
|
|
|
|
|
For example:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
$ echo 0x7 > /proc/self/coredump_filter

|
|
|

|
|

--------------------------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
|
These files provide a method to access a tasks comm value. It also allows for
|
|
|
|
|
a task to set its own or one of its thread siblings comm value. The comm value
|
|
|
|
|
is limited in size compared to the cmdline value, so writing anything longer
|
|
|
|
|
then the kernel's TASK_COMM_LEN (currently 16 chars) will result in a truncated
|
|
|
|
|
comm value.

procfs: add hidepid= and gid= mount options
Add support for mount options to restrict access to /proc/PID/
directories. The default backward-compatible "relaxed" behaviour is left
untouched.
The first mount option is called "hidepid" and its value defines how much
info about processes we want to be available for non-owners:
hidepid=0 (default) means the old behavior - anybody may read all
world-readable /proc/PID/* files.
hidepid=1 means users may not access any /proc/<pid>/ directories, but
their own. Sensitive files like cmdline, sched*, status are now protected
against other users. As permission checking done in proc_pid_permission()
and files' permissions are left untouched, programs expecting specific
files' modes are not confused.
hidepid=2 means hidepid=1 plus all /proc/PID/ will be invisible to other
users. It doesn't mean that it hides whether a process exists (it can be
learned by other means, e.g. by kill -0 $PID), but it hides process' euid
and egid. It compicates intruder's task of gathering info about running
processes, whether some daemon runs with elevated privileges, whether
another user runs some sensitive program, whether other users run any
program at all, etc.
gid=XXX defines a group that will be able to gather all processes' info
(as in hidepid=0 mode). This group should be used instead of putting
nonroot user in sudoers file or something. However, untrusted users (like
daemons, etc.) which are not supposed to monitor the tasks in the whole
system should not be added to the group.
hidepid=1 or higher is designed to restrict access to procfs files, which
might reveal some sensitive private information like precise keystrokes
timings:
http://www.openwall.com/lists/oss-security/2011/11/05/3
hidepid=1/2 doesn't break monitoring userspace tools. ps, top, pgrep, and
conky gracefully handle EPERM/ENOENT and behave as if the current user is
the only user running processes. pstree shows the process subtree which
contains "pstree" process.
Note: the patch doesn't deal with setuid/setgid issues of keeping
preopened descriptors of procfs files (like
https://lkml.org/lkml/2011/2/7/368). We rely on that the leaked
information like the scheduling counters of setuid apps doesn't threaten
anybody's privacy - only the user started the setuid program may read the
counters.

This file provides a fast way to retrieve first level children pids
|
|
|
|
|
of a task pointed by <pid>/<tid> pair. The format is a space separated
|
|
|
|
|
stream of pids.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Note the "first level" here -- if a child has own children they will
|
|
|
|
|
not be listed here, one needs to read /proc/<children-pid>/task/<tid>/children
|
|
|
|
|
to obtain the descendants.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Since this interface is intended to be fast and cheap it doesn't
|
|
|
|
|
guarantee to provide precise results and some children might be
|
|
|
|
|
skipped, especially if they've exited right after we printed their
|
|
|
|
|
pids, so one need to either stop or freeze processes being inspected
|
|
|
|
|
if precise results are needed.

|
|
This file provides information associated with an opened file. The regular
|
2014-04-07 22:38:34 +00:00
|
|
|
files have at least three fields -- 'pos', 'flags' and mnt_id. The 'pos'
|
|
|
|
|
represents the current offset of the opened file in decimal form [see lseek(2)
|
|
|
|
|
for details], 'flags' denotes the octal O_xxx mask the file has been
|
|
|
|
|
created with [see open(2) for details] and 'mnt_id' represents mount ID of
|
|
|
|
|
the file system containing the opened file [see 3.5 /proc/<pid>/mountinfo
|
|
|
|
|
for details].
|

target file resides and the 'mask' is the mask of events, all in hex
|
|
|
|
|
form [see inotify(7) for more details].
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
If the kernel was built with exportfs support, the path to the target
|
|
|
|
|
file is encoded as a file handle. The file handle is provided by three
|
|
|
|
|
fields 'fhandle-bytes', 'fhandle-type' and 'f_handle', all in hex
|
|
|
|
|
format.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
If the kernel is built without exportfs support the file handle won't be
|
|
|
|
|
printed out.

|
|
|
|
|

3.9 /proc/<pid>/map_files - Information about memory mapped files
|
|
|
|
|
---------------------------------------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
|
This directory contains symbolic links which represent memory mapped files
|
|
|
|
|
the process is maintaining. Example output:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| lr-------- 1 root root 64 Jan 27 11:24 333c600000-333c620000 -> /usr/lib64/ld-2.18.so
|
|
|
|
|
| lr-------- 1 root root 64 Jan 27 11:24 333c81f000-333c820000 -> /usr/lib64/ld-2.18.so
|
|
|
|
|
| lr-------- 1 root root 64 Jan 27 11:24 333c820000-333c821000 -> /usr/lib64/ld-2.18.so
|
|
|
|
|
| ...
|
|
|
|
|
| lr-------- 1 root root 64 Jan 27 11:24 35d0421000-35d0422000 -> /usr/lib64/libselinux.so.1
|
|
|
|
|
| lr-------- 1 root root 64 Jan 27 11:24 400000-41a000 -> /usr/bin/ls
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The name of a link represents the virtual memory bounds of a mapping, i.e.
|
|
|
|
|
vm_area_struct::vm_start-vm_area_struct::vm_end.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The main purpose of the map_files is to retrieve a set of memory mapped
|
|
|
|
|
files in a fast way instead of parsing /proc/<pid>/maps or
|
|
|
|
|
/proc/<pid>/smaps, both of which contain many more records. At the same
|
|
|
|
|
time one can open(2) mappings from the listings of two processes and
|
|
|
|
|
comparing their inode numbers to figure out which anonymous memory areas
|
|
|
|
|
are actually shared.

3.10 /proc/<pid>/timerslack_ns - Task timerslack value
|
|
|
|
|
---------------------------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
|
This file provides the value of the task's timerslack value in nanoseconds.
|
|
|
|
|
This value specifies a amount of time that normal timers may be deferred
|
|
|
|
|
in order to coalesce timers and avoid unnecessary wakeups.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
This allows a task's interactivity vs power consumption trade off to be
|
|
|
|
|
adjusted.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Writing 0 to the file will set the tasks timerslack to the default value.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Valid values are from 0 - ULLONG_MAX
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
An application setting the value must have PTRACE_MODE_ATTACH_FSCREDS level
|
|
|
|
|
permissions on the task specified to change its timerslack_ns value.

3.11 /proc/<pid>/patch_state - Livepatch patch operation state
|
|
|
|
|
-----------------------------------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
|
When CONFIG_LIVEPATCH is enabled, this file displays the value of the
|
|
|
|
|
patch state for the task.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
A value of '-1' indicates that no patch is in transition.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
A value of '0' indicates that a patch is in transition and the task is
|
|
|
|
|
unpatched. If the patch is being enabled, then the task hasn't been
|
|
|
|
|
patched yet. If the patch is being disabled, then the task has already
|
|
|
|
|
been unpatched.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
A value of '1' indicates that a patch is in transition and the task is
|
|
|
|
|
patched. If the patch is being enabled, then the task has already been
|
|
|
|
|
patched. If the patch is being disabled, then the task hasn't been
|
|
|
|
|
unpatched yet.

procfs: add hidepid= and gid= mount options
Add support for mount options to restrict access to /proc/PID/
directories. The default backward-compatible "relaxed" behaviour is left
untouched.
The first mount option is called "hidepid" and its value defines how much
info about processes we want to be available for non-owners:
hidepid=0 (default) means the old behavior - anybody may read all
world-readable /proc/PID/* files.
hidepid=1 means users may not access any /proc/<pid>/ directories, but
their own. Sensitive files like cmdline, sched*, status are now protected
against other users. As permission checking done in proc_pid_permission()
and files' permissions are left untouched, programs expecting specific
files' modes are not confused.
hidepid=2 means hidepid=1 plus all /proc/PID/ will be invisible to other
users. It doesn't mean that it hides whether a process exists (it can be
learned by other means, e.g. by kill -0 $PID), but it hides process' euid
and egid. It compicates intruder's task of gathering info about running
processes, whether some daemon runs with elevated privileges, whether
another user runs some sensitive program, whether other users run any
program at all, etc.
gid=XXX defines a group that will be able to gather all processes' info
(as in hidepid=0 mode). This group should be used instead of putting
nonroot user in sudoers file or something. However, untrusted users (like
daemons, etc.) which are not supposed to monitor the tasks in the whole
system should not be added to the group.
hidepid=1 or higher is designed to restrict access to procfs files, which
might reveal some sensitive private information like precise keystrokes
timings:
http://www.openwall.com/lists/oss-security/2011/11/05/3
hidepid=1/2 doesn't break monitoring userspace tools. ps, top, pgrep, and
conky gracefully handle EPERM/ENOENT and behave as if the current user is
the only user running processes. pstree shows the process subtree which
contains "pstree" process.
Note: the patch doesn't deal with setuid/setgid issues of keeping
preopened descriptors of procfs files (like
https://lkml.org/lkml/2011/2/7/368). We rely on that the leaked
information like the scheduling counters of setuid apps doesn't threaten
anybody's privacy - only the user started the setuid program may read the
counters.

4.1 Mount options
|
|
|
|
|
---------------------
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The following mount options are supported:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
hidepid= Set /proc/<pid>/ access mode.
|
|
|
|
|
gid= Set the group authorized to learn processes information.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
hidepid=0 means classic mode - everybody may access all /proc/<pid>/ directories
|
|
|
|
|
(default).
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
hidepid=1 means users may not access any /proc/<pid>/ directories but their
|
|
|
|
|
own. Sensitive files like cmdline, sched*, status are now protected against
|
|
|
|
|
other users. This makes it impossible to learn whether any user runs
|
|
|
|
|
specific program (given the program doesn't reveal itself by its behaviour).
|
|
|
|
|
As an additional bonus, as /proc/<pid>/cmdline is unaccessible for other users,
|
|
|
|
|
poorly written programs passing sensitive information via program arguments are
|
|
|
|
|
now protected against local eavesdroppers.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
hidepid=2 means hidepid=1 plus all /proc/<pid>/ will be fully invisible to other
|
|
|
|
|
users. It doesn't mean that it hides a fact whether a process with a specific
|
|
|
|
|
pid value exists (it can be learned by other means, e.g. by "kill -0 $PID"),
|
|
|
|
|
but it hides process' uid and gid, which may be learned by stat()'ing
|
|
|
|
|
/proc/<pid>/ otherwise. It greatly complicates an intruder's task of gathering
|
|
|
|
|
information about running processes, whether some daemon runs with elevated
|
|
|
|
|
privileges, whether other user runs some sensitive program, whether other users
|
|
|
|
|
run any program at all, etc.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
gid= defines a group authorized to learn processes information otherwise
|
|
|
|
|
prohibited by hidepid=. If you use some daemon like identd which needs to learn
|
|
|
|
|
information about processes information, just add identd to this group.
|
