Kmem accounting might incur overhead that some users can't put up with.
Besides, the implementation is still considered unstable. So let's
provide a way to disable it for those users who aren't happy with it.
To disable kmem accounting for cgroup2, pass cgroup.memory=nokmem at
boot time.

The original cgroup memory controller has an extension to account slab
memory (and other "kernel memory" consumers) in a separate "kmem"
counter, once the user set an explicit limit on that "kmem" pool.
However, this includes various consumers whose sizes are directly linked
to userspace activity. Accounting them as an optional "kmem" extension
is problematic for several reasons:
1. It leaves the main memory interface with incomplete semantics. A
user who puts their workload into a cgroup and configures a memory
limit does not expect us to leave holes in the containment as big
as the dentry and inode cache, or the kernel stack pages.
2. If the limit set on this random historical subgroup of consumers is
reached, subsequent allocations will fail even when the main memory
pool available to the cgroup is not yet exhausted and/or has
reclaimable memory in it.
3. Calling it 'kernel memory' is misleading. The dentry and inode
caches are no more 'kernel' (or no less 'user') memory than the
page cache itself. Treating these consumers as different classes is
a historical implementation detail that should not leak to users.
So, in addition to page cache, anonymous memory, and network socket
memory, account the following memory consumers per default in the
cgroup2 memory controller:
- threadinfo
- task_struct
- task_delay_info
- pid
- cred
- mm_struct
- vm_area_struct and vm_region (nommu)
- anon_vma and anon_vma_chain
- signal_struct
- sighand_struct
- fs_struct
- files_struct
- fdtable and fdtable->full_fds_bits
- dentry and external_name
- inode for all filesystems.
This should give us reasonable memory isolation for most common
workloads out of the box.

On any given memcg, the kmem accounting feature has three separate
states: not initialized, structures allocated, and actively accounting
slab memory. These are represented through a combination of the
kmem_acct_activated and kmem_acct_active flags, which is confusing.
Convert to a kmem_state enum with the states NONE, ALLOCATED, and
ONLINE. Then rename the functions to modify the state accordingly.
This follows the nomenclature of css object states more closely.

This series adds accounting of the historical "kmem" memory consumers to
the cgroup2 memory controller.
These consumers include the dentry cache, the inode cache, kernel stack
pages, and a few others that are pointed out in patch 7/8. The
footprint of these consumers is directly tied to userspace activity in
common workloads, and so they have to be part of the minimally viable
configuration in order to present a complete feature to our users.
The cgroup2 interface of the memory controller is far from complete, but
this series, along with the socket memory accounting series, provides
the final semantic changes for the existing memory knobs in the cgroup2
interface, which is scheduled for initial release in the next merge
window.

UBSAN uses compile-time instrumentation to catch undefined behavior
(UB). Compiler inserts code that perform certain kinds of checks before
operations that could cause UB. If check fails (i.e. UB detected)
__ubsan_handle_* function called to print error message.
So the most of the work is done by compiler. This patch just implements
ubsan handlers printing errors.
GCC has this capability since 4.9.x [1] (see -fsanitize=undefined
option and its suboptions).
However GCC 5.x has more checkers implemented [2].

By checking the effective credentials instead of the real UID / permitted
capabilities, ensure that the calling process actually intended to use its
credentials.
To ensure that all ptrace checks use the correct caller credentials (e.g.
in case out-of-tree code or newly added code omits the PTRACE_MODE_*CREDS
flag), use two new flags and require one of them to be set.
The problem was that when a privileged task had temporarily dropped its
privileges, e.g. by calling setreuid(0, user_uid), with the intent to
perform following syscalls with the credentials of a user, it still passed
ptrace access checks that the user would not be able to pass.
While an attacker should not be able to convince the privileged task to
perform a ptrace() syscall, this is a problem because the ptrace access
check is reused for things in procfs.
In particular, the following somewhat interesting procfs entries only rely
on ptrace access checks:
/proc/$pid/stat - uses the check for determining whether pointers
should be visible, useful for bypassing ASLR
/proc/$pid/maps - also useful for bypassing ASLR
/proc/$pid/cwd - useful for gaining access to restricted
directories that contain files with lax permissions, e.g. in
this scenario:
lrwxrwxrwx root root /proc/13020/cwd -> /root/foobar
drwx------ root root /root
drwxr-xr-x root root /root/foobar
-rw-r--r-- root root /root/foobar/secret
Therefore, on a system where a root-owned mode 6755 binary changes its
effective credentials as described and then dumps a user-specified file,
this could be used by an attacker to reveal the memory layout of root's
processes or reveal the contents of files he is not allowed to access
(through /proc/$pid/cwd).

record_obj() in migrate_zspage() does not preserve handle's
HANDLE_PIN_BIT, set by find_aloced_obj()->trypin_tag(), and implicitly
(accidentally) un-pins the handle, while migrate_zspage() still performs
an explicit unpin_tag() on the that handle. This additional explicit
unpin_tag() introduces a race condition with zs_free(), which can pin
that handle by this time, so the handle becomes un-pinned.
Schematically, it goes like this:
CPU0 CPU1

find_alloced_obj
trypin_tag
set HANDLE_PIN_BIT zs_free()
pin_tag()
obj_malloc() -- new object, no tag
record_obj() -- remove HANDLE_PIN_BIT set HANDLE_PIN_BIT
unpin_tag() -- remove zs_free's HANDLE_PIN_BIT

A spare array holding mem cgroup threshold events is kept around to make
sure we can always safely deregister an event and have an array to store
the new set of events in.
In the scenario where we're going from 1 to 0 registered events, the
pointer to the primary array containing 1 event is copied to the spare
slot, and then the spare slot is freed because no events are left.
However, it is freed before calling synchronize_rcu(), which means
readers may still be accessing threshold->primary after it is freed.
Fixed by only freeing after synchronize_rcu().

Currently memory_failure() doesn't handle non anonymous thp case,
because we can hardly expect the error handling to be successful, and it
can just hit some corner case which results in BUG_ON or something
severe like that. This is also the case for soft offline code, so let's
make it in the same way.
Orignal code has a MF_COUNT_INCREASED check before put_hwpoison_page(),
but it's unnecessary because get_any_page() is already called when
running on this code, which takes a refcount of the target page
regardress of the flag. So this patch also removes it.

Both s390 and powerpc have hit the issue of swapoff hanging, when
CONFIG_HAVE_ARCH_SOFT_DIRTY and CONFIG_MEM_SOFT_DIRTY ifdefs were not
quite as x86_64 had them. I think it would be much clearer if
HAVE_ARCH_SOFT_DIRTY was just a Kconfig option set by architectures to
determine whether the MEM_SOFT_DIRTY option should be offered, and the
actual code depend upon CONFIG_MEM_SOFT_DIRTY alone.
But won't embark on that change myself: instead make swapoff more
robust, by using pte_swp_clear_soft_dirty() on each pte it encounters,
without an explicit #ifdef CONFIG_MEM_SOFT_DIRTY. That being a no-op,
whether the bit in question is defined as 0 or the asm-generic fallback
is used, unless soft dirty is fully turned on.
Why "maybe" in maybe_same_pte()? Rename it pte_same_as_swp().

Possible unsafe locking scenario:

lock(&hugetlbfs_i_mmap_rwsem_key);
lock(&mapping->i_mmap_rwsem);
lock(&hugetlbfs_i_mmap_rwsem_key);
lock(&mapping->i_mmap_rwsem);
Both traces points to mm_take_all_locks() as a source of the problem.
It doesn't take care about ordering or hugetlbfs_i_mmap_rwsem_key (aka
mapping->i_mmap_rwsem for hugetlb mapping) vs. i_mmap_rwsem.
huge_pmd_share() does memory allocation under hugetlbfs_i_mmap_rwsem_key
and allocator can take i_mmap_rwsem if it hit reclaim. So we need to
take i_mmap_rwsem from all hugetlb VMAs before taking i_mmap_rwsem from
rest of VMAs.
The patch also documents locking order for hugetlbfs_i_mmap_rwsem_key.

In earlier versions, mem_cgroup_css_from_page() could return non-root
css on a legacy hierarchy which can go away and required rcu locking;
however, the eventual version simply returns the root cgroup if memcg is
on a legacy hierarchy and thus doesn't need rcu locking around or in it.
Remove spurious rcu lockings.

During Jason's work with postcopy migration support for s390 a problem
regarding gmap faults was discovered.
The gmap code will call fixup_user_fault which will end up always in
handle_mm_fault. Till now we never cared about retries, but as the
userfaultfd code kind of relies on it. this needs some fix.
This patchset does not take care of the futex code. I will now look
closer at this.
This patch (of 2):
With the introduction of userfaultfd, kvm on s390 needs fixup_user_fault
to pass in FAULT_FLAG_ALLOW_RETRY and give feedback if during the
faulting we ever unlocked mmap_sem.
This patch brings in the logic to handle retries as well as it cleans up
the current documentation. fixup_user_fault was not having the same
semantics as filemap_fault. It never indicated if a retry happened and
so a caller wasn't able to handle that case. So we now changed the
behaviour to always retry a locked mmap_sem.

A dax-huge-page mapping while it uses some thp helpers is ultimately not
a transparent huge page. The distinction is especially important in the
get_user_pages() path. pmd_devmap() is used to distinguish dax-pmds
from pmd_huge() and pmd_trans_huge() which have slightly different
semantics.
Explicitly mark the pmd_trans_huge() helpers that dax needs by adding
pmd_devmap() checks.

In support of providing struct page for large persistent memory
capacities, use struct vmem_altmap to change the default policy for
allocating memory for the memmap array. The default vmemmap_populate()
allocates page table storage area from the page allocator. Given
persistent memory capacities relative to DRAM it may not be feasible to
store the memmap in 'System Memory'. Instead vmem_altmap represents

Prior to this change DAX PMD mappings that were made read-only were
never able to be made writable again. This is because the code in
insert_pfn_pmd() that calls pmd_mkdirty() and pmd_mkwrite() would skip
these calls if the PMD already existed in the page table.
Instead, if we are doing a write always mark the PMD entry as dirty and
writeable. Without this code we can get into a condition where we mark
the PMD as read-only, and then on a subsequent write fault we get into
an infinite loop of PMD faults where we try unsuccessfully to make the
PMD writeable.

Sasha Levin has reported KASAN out-of-bounds bug[1]. It points to "if
(!is_swap_pte(pte[i]))" in unfreeze_page_vma() as a problematic access.
The cause is that split_huge_page() doesn't handle THP correctly if it's
not allingned to PMD boundary. It can happen after mremap().
Test-case (not always triggers the bug):
#define _GNU_SOURCE
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <sys/mman.h>
#define MB (1024UL*1024)
#define SIZE (2*MB)
#define BASE ((void *)0x400000000000)
int main()
{
char *p;
p = mmap(BASE, SIZE, PROT_READ | PROT_WRITE,
MAP_FIXED | MAP_PRIVATE | MAP_ANONYMOUS | MAP_POPULATE,
-1, 0);
if (p == MAP_FAILED)
perror("mmap"), exit(1);
p = mremap(BASE, SIZE, SIZE, MREMAP_FIXED | MREMAP_MAYMOVE,
BASE + SIZE + 8192);
if (p == MAP_FAILED)
perror("mremap"), exit(1);
system("echo 1 > /sys/kernel/debug/split_huge_pages");
return 0;
}
The patch fixes freeze and unfreeze paths to handle page table boundary
crossing.
It also makes mapcount vs count check in split_huge_page_to_list()
stricter:
- after freeze we don't expect any subpage mapped as we remove them
from rmap when setting up migration entries;
- count must be 1, meaning only caller has reference to the page;

We don't need to split THP page when MADV_FREE syscall is called if
[start, len] is aligned with THP size. The split could be done when VM
decide to free it in reclaim path if memory pressure is heavy. With
that, we could avoid unnecessary THP split.
For the feature, this patch changes pte dirtness marking logic of THP.
Now, it marks every ptes of pages dirty unconditionally in splitting,
which makes MADV_FREE void. So, instead, this patch propagates pmd
dirtiness to all pages via PG_dirty and restores pte dirtiness from
PG_dirty. With this, if pmd is clean(ie, MADV_FREEed) when split
happens(e,g, shrink_page_list), all of pages are clean too so we could
discard them.

MADV_FREE is a hint that it's okay to discard pages if there is memory
pressure and we use reclaimers(ie, kswapd and direct reclaim) to free
them so there is no value keeping them in the active anonymous LRU so
this patch moves them to inactive LRU list's head.
This means that MADV_FREE-ed pages which were living on the inactive
list are reclaimed first because they are more likely to be cold rather
than recently active pages.
An arguable issue for the approach would be whether we should put the
page to the head or tail of the inactive list. I chose head because the
kernel cannot make sure it's really cold or warm for every MADV_FREE
usecase but at least we know it's not *hot*, so landing of inactive head
would be a comprimise for various usecases.
This fixes suboptimal behavior of MADV_FREE when pages living on the
active list will sit there for a long time even under memory pressure
while the inactive list is reclaimed heavily. This basically breaks the
whole purpose of using MADV_FREE to help the system to free memory which
is might not be used.

The reason is lots of swapin.
1) dontneed: 1,612 swapin
2) madvfree: 879,585 swapin
If we find hinted pages were already swapped out when syscall is called,
it's pointless to keep the swapped-out pages in pte. Instead, let's
free the cold page because swapin is more expensive than (alloc page +
zeroing).

Linux doesn't have an ability to free pages lazy while other OS already
have been supported that named by madvise(MADV_FREE).
The gain is clear that kernel can discard freed pages rather than
swapping out or OOM if memory pressure happens.
Without memory pressure, freed pages would be reused by userspace
without another additional overhead(ex, page fault + allocation +
zeroing).
Jason Evans said:
: Facebook has been using MAP_UNINITIALIZED
: (https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/1/18/308) in some of its applications for
: several years, but there are operational costs to maintaining this
: out-of-tree in our kernel and in jemalloc, and we are anxious to retire it
: in favor of MADV_FREE. When we first enabled MAP_UNINITIALIZED it
: increased throughput for much of our workload by ~5%, and although the
: benefit has decreased using newer hardware and kernels, there is still
: enough benefit that we cannot reasonably retire it without a replacement.
:
: Aside from Facebook operations, there are numerous broadly used
: applications that would benefit from MADV_FREE. The ones that immediately
: come to mind are redis, varnish, and MariaDB. I don't have much insight
: into Android internals and development process, but I would hope to see
: MADV_FREE support eventually end up there as well to benefit applications
: linked with the integrated jemalloc.
:
: jemalloc will use MADV_FREE once it becomes available in the Linux kernel.
: In fact, jemalloc already uses MADV_FREE or equivalent everywhere it's
: available: *BSD, OS X, Windows, and Solaris -- every platform except Linux
: (and AIX, but I'm not sure it even compiles on AIX). The lack of
: MADV_FREE on Linux forced me down a long series of increasingly
: sophisticated heuristics for madvise() volume reduction, and even so this
: remains a common performance issue for people using jemalloc on Linux.
: Please integrate MADV_FREE; many people will benefit substantially.
How it works:
When madvise syscall is called, VM clears dirty bit of ptes of the
range. If memory pressure happens, VM checks dirty bit of page table
and if it found still "clean", it means it's a "lazyfree pages" so VM
could discard the page instead of swapping out. Once there was store
operation for the page before VM peek a page to reclaim, dirty bit is
set so VM can swap out the page instead of discarding.
One thing we should notice is that basically, MADV_FREE relies on dirty
bit in page table entry to decide whether VM allows to discard the page
or not. IOW, if page table entry includes marked dirty bit, VM
shouldn't discard the page.
However, as a example, if swap-in by read fault happens, page table
entry doesn't have dirty bit so MADV_FREE could discard the page
wrongly.
For avoiding the problem, MADV_FREE did more checks with PageDirty and
PageSwapCache. It worked out because swapped-in page lives on swap
cache and since it is evicted from the swap cache, the page has PG_dirty
flag. So both page flags check effectively prevent wrong discarding by
MADV_FREE.
However, a problem in above logic is that swapped-in page has PG_dirty
still after they are removed from swap cache so VM cannot consider the
page as freeable any more even if madvise_free is called in future.
Look at below example for detail.
ptr = malloc();
memset(ptr);
..
..
.. heavy memory pressure so all of pages are swapped out
..
..
var = *ptr; -> a page swapped-in and could be removed from
swapcache. Then, page table doesn't mark
dirty bit and page descriptor includes PG_dirty
..
..
madvise_free(ptr); -> It doesn't clear PG_dirty of the page.
..
..
..
.. heavy memory pressure again.
.. In this time, VM cannot discard the page because the page
.. has *PG_dirty*
To solve the problem, this patch clears PG_dirty if only the page is
owned exclusively by current process when madvise is called because
PG_dirty represents ptes's dirtiness in several processes so we could
clear it only if we own it exclusively.
Firstly, heavy users would be general allocators(ex, jemalloc, tcmalloc
and hope glibc supports it) and jemalloc/tcmalloc already have supported
the feature for other OS(ex, FreeBSD)

During freeze_page(), we remove the page from rmap. It munlocks the
page if it was mlocked. clear_page_mlock() uses thelru cache, which
temporary pins the page.
Let's drain the lru cache before checking page's count vs. mapcount.
The change makes mlocked page split on first attempt, if it was not
pinned by somebody else.

Both page_referenced() and page_idle_clear_pte_refs_one() assume that
THP can only be mapped with PMD, so there's no reason to look on PTEs
for PageTransHuge() pages. That's no true anymore: THP can be mapped
with PTEs too.
The patch removes PageTransHuge() test from the functions and opencode
page table check.

Before THP refcounting rework, THP was not allowed to cross VMA
boundary. So, if we have THP and we split it, PG_mlocked can be safely
transferred to small pages.
With new THP refcounting and naive approach to mlocking we can end up
with this scenario:
1. we have a mlocked THP, which belong to one VM_LOCKED VMA.
2. the process does munlock() on the *part* of the THP:
- the VMA is split into two, one of them VM_LOCKED;
- huge PMD split into PTE table;
- THP is still mlocked;
3. split_huge_page():
- it transfers PG_mlocked to *all* small pages regrardless if it
blong to any VM_LOCKED VMA.
We probably could munlock() all small pages on split_huge_page(), but I
think we have accounting issue already on step two.
Instead of forbidding mlocked pages altogether, we just avoid mlocking
PTE-mapped THPs and munlock THPs on split_huge_pmd().
This means PTE-mapped THPs will be on normal lru lists and will be split
under memory pressure by vmscan. After the split vmscan will detect
unevictable small pages and mlock them.
With this approach we shouldn't hit situation like described above.

Currently we don't split huge page on partial unmap. It's not an ideal
situation. It can lead to memory overhead.
Furtunately, we can detect partial unmap on page_remove_rmap(). But we
cannot call split_huge_page() from there due to locking context.
It's also counterproductive to do directly from munmap() codepath: in
many cases we will hit this from exit(2) and splitting the huge page
just to free it up in small pages is not what we really want.
The patch introduce deferred_split_huge_page() which put the huge page
into queue for splitting. The splitting itself will happen when we get
memory pressure via shrinker interface. The page will be dropped from
list on freeing through compound page destructor.

This patch adds implementation of split_huge_page() for new
refcountings.
Unlike previous implementation, new split_huge_page() can fail if
somebody holds GUP pin on the page. It also means that pin on page
would prevent it from bening split under you. It makes situation in
many places much cleaner.
The basic scheme of split_huge_page():
- Check that sum of mapcounts of all subpage is equal to page_count()
plus one (caller pin). Foll off with -EBUSY. This way we can avoid
useless PMD-splits.
- Freeze the page counters by splitting all PMD and setup migration
PTEs.
- Re-check sum of mapcounts against page_count(). Page's counts are
stable now. -EBUSY if page is pinned.
- Split compound page.
- Unfreeze the page by removing migration entries.

Some mm-related BUG_ON()s could trigger from hwpoison code due to recent
changes in thp refcounting rule. This patch fixes them up.
In the new refcounting, we no longer use tail->_mapcount to keep tail's
refcount, and thereby we can simplify get/put_hwpoison_page().
And another change is that tail's refcount is not transferred to the raw
page during thp split (more precisely, in new rule we don't take
refcount on tail page any more.) So when we need thp split, we have to
transfer the refcount properly to the 4kB soft-offlined page before
migration.
thp split code goes into core code only when precheck
(total_mapcount(head) == page_count(head) - 1) passes to avoid useless
split, where we assume that one refcount is held by the caller of thp
split and the others are taken via mapping. To meet this assumption,
this patch moves thp split part in soft_offline_page() after
get_any_page().
