_Static_assert() is evaluated already in the compiler's frontend, and
gives a somehat more to-the-point error, compared to the BUILD_BUG_ON
macro, which only fires after the optimizer has had a chance to
eliminate calls to functions marked with __attribute__((error)). In
theory, this might make builds a tiny bit faster.
There's also a little less gunk in the error message emitted:
lib/sort.c: In function `foo':
include/linux/build_bug.h:78:41: error: static assertion failed: "pointer type mismatch in container_of()"
78 | #define __static_assert(expr, msg, ...) _Static_assert(expr, msg)
compared to

322 | _compiletime_assert(condition, msg, __compiletime_assert_, __COUNTER__)
While at it, fix the copy-pasto in container_of_safe().

kernel.h is being used as a dump for all kinds of stuff for a long time.
Here is the attempt cleaning it up by splitting out container_of() and
typeof_member() macros.
For time being include new header back to kernel.h to avoid twisted
indirected includes for existing users.
Note, there are _a lot_ of headers and modules that include kernel.h
solely for one of these macros and this allows to unburden compiler for
the twisted inclusion paths and to make new code cleaner in the future.

Problem Description:
When running running ~128 parallel instances of
TZ=/etc/localtime ps -fe >/dev/null
on a 128CPU machine, the %sys utilization reaches 97%, and perf shows
the following code path as being responsible for heavy contention on the
d_lockref spinlock:
walk_component()
lookup_fast()
d_revalidate()
pid_revalidate() // returns -ECHILD
unlazy_child()
lockref_get_not_dead(&nd->path.dentry->d_lockref) <-- contention
The reason is that pid_revalidate() is triggering a drop from RCU to ref
path walk mode. All concurrent path lookups thus try to grab a
reference to the dentry for /proc/, before re-executing pid_revalidate()
and then stepping into the /proc/$pid directory. Thus there is huge
spinlock contention.
This patch allows pid_revalidate() to execute in RCU mode, meaning that
the path lookup can successfully enter the /proc/$pid directory while
still in RCU mode. Later on, the path lookup may still drop into ref
mode, but the contention will be much reduced at this point.
By applying this patch, %sys utilization falls to around 85% under the
same workload, and the number of ps processes executed per unit time
increases by 3x-4x. Although this particular workload is a bit
contrived, we have seen some large collections of eager monitoring
scripts which produced similarly high %sys time due to contention in the
/proc directory.
As a result this patch, Al noted that several procfs methods which were
only called in ref-walk mode could now be called from RCU mode. To
ensure that this patch is safe, I audited all the inode get_link and
permission() implementations, as well as dentry d_revalidate()
implementations, in fs/proc. The purpose here is to ensure that they
either are safe to call in RCU (i.e. don't sleep) or correctly bail out
of RCU mode if they don't support it. My analysis shows that all
at-risk procfs methods are safe to call under RCU, and thus this patch
is safe.
Procfs RCU-walk Analysis:
This analysis is up-to-date with 5.15-rc3. When called under RCU mode,
these functions have arguments as follows:
* get_link() receives a NULL dentry pointer when called in RCU mode.
* permission() receives MAY_NOT_BLOCK in the mode parameter when called
from RCU.
* d_revalidate() receives LOOKUP_RCU in flags.
For the following functions, either they are trivially RCU safe, or they
explicitly bail at the beginning of the function when they run:
proc_ns_get_link (bails out)
proc_get_link (RCU safe)
proc_pid_get_link (bails out)
map_files_d_revalidate (bails out)
map_misc_d_revalidate (bails out)
proc_net_d_revalidate (RCU safe)
proc_sys_revalidate (bails out, also not under /proc/$pid)
tid_fd_revalidate (bails out)
proc_sys_permission (not under /proc/$pid)
The remainder of the functions require a bit more detail:
* proc_fd_permission: RCU safe. All of the body of this function is
under rcu_read_lock(), except generic_permission() which declares
itself RCU safe in its documentation string.
* proc_self_get_link uses GFP_ATOMIC in the RCU case, so it is RCU aware
and otherwise looks safe. The same is true of proc_thread_self_get_link.
* proc_map_files_get_link: calls ns_capable, which calls capable(), and
thus calls into the audit code (see note #1 below). The remainder is
just a call to the trivially safe proc_pid_get_link().
* proc_pid_permission: calls ptrace_may_access(), which appears RCU
safe, although it does call into the "security_ptrace_access_check()"
hook, which looks safe under smack and selinux. Just the audit code is
of concern. Also uses get_task_struct() and put_task_struct(), see
note #2 below.
* proc_tid_comm_permission: Appears safe, though calls put_task_struct
(see note #2 below).
Note #1:
Most of the concern of RCU safety has centered around the audit code.
However, since b17ec22fb3 ("selinux: slow_avc_audit has become
non-blocking"), it's safe to call this code under RCU. So all of the
above are safe by my estimation.
Note #2: get_task_struct() and put_task_struct():
The majority of get_task_struct() is under RCU read lock, and in any
case it is a simple increment. But put_task_struct() is complex, given
that it could at some point free the task struct, and this process has
many steps which I couldn't manually verify. However, several other
places call put_task_struct() under RCU, so it appears safe to use
here too (see kernel/hung_task.c:165 or rcu/tree-stall.h:296)
Patch description:
pid_revalidate() drops from RCU into REF lookup mode. When many threads
are resolving paths within /proc in parallel, this can result in heavy
spinlock contention on d_lockref as each thread tries to grab a
reference to the /proc dentry (and drop it shortly thereafter).
Investigation indicates that it is not necessary to drop RCU in
pid_revalidate(), as no RCU data is modified and the function never
sleeps. So, remove the LOOKUP_RCU check.

Although virtio-mem currently supports reading unplugged memory in the
hypervisor, this will change in the future, indicated to the device via
a new feature flag.
We similarly sanitized /proc/kcore access recently. [1]
Let's register a vmcore callback, to allow vmcore code to check if a PFN
belonging to a virtio-mem device is either currently plugged and should
be dumped or is currently unplugged and should not be accessed, instead
mapping the shared zeropage or returning zeroes when reading.
This is important when not capturing /proc/vmcore via tools like
"makedumpfile" that can identify logically unplugged virtio-mem memory
via PG_offline in the memmap, but simply by e.g., copying the file.
Distributions that support virtio-mem+kdump have to make sure that the
virtio_mem module will be part of the kdump kernel or the kdump initrd;
dracut was recently [2] extended to include virtio-mem in the generated
initrd. As long as no special kdump kernels are used, this will
automatically make sure that virtio-mem will be around in the kdump
initrd and sanitize /proc/vmcore access -- with dracut.
With this series, we'll send one virtio-mem state request for every ~2
MiB chunk of virtio-mem memory indicated in the vmcore that we intend to
read/map.
In the future, we might want to allow building virtio-mem for kdump mode
only, even without CONFIG_MEMORY_HOTPLUG and friends: this way, we could
support special stripped-down kdump kernels that have many other config
options disabled; we'll tackle that once required. Further, we might
want to try sensing bigger blocks (e.g., memory sections) first before
falling back to device blocks on demand.
Tested with Fedora rawhide, which contains a recent kexec-tools version
(considering "System RAM (virtio_mem)" when creating the vmcore header)
and a recent dracut version (including the virtio_mem module in the
kdump initrd).

Let's support multiple registered callbacks, making sure that
registering vmcore callbacks cannot fail. Make the callback return a
bool instead of an int, handling how to deal with errors internally.
Drop unused HAVE_OLDMEM_PFN_IS_RAM.
We soon want to make use of this infrastructure from other drivers:
virtio-mem, registering one callback for each virtio-mem device, to
prevent reading unplugged virtio-mem memory.
Handle it via a generic vmcore_cb structure, prepared for future
extensions: for example, once we support virtio-mem on s390x where the
vmcore is completely constructed in the second kernel, we want to detect
and add plugged virtio-mem memory ranges to the vmcore in order for them
to get dumped properly.
Handle corner cases that are unexpected and shouldn't happen in sane
setups: registering a callback after the vmcore has already been opened
(warn only) and unregistering a callback after the vmcore has already been
opened (warn and essentially read only zeroes from that point on).

After removing /dev/kmem, sanitizing /proc/kcore and handling /dev/mem,
this series tackles the last sane way how a VM could accidentially
access logically unplugged memory managed by a virtio-mem device:
/proc/vmcore
When dumping memory via "makedumpfile", PG_offline pages, used by
virtio-mem to flag logically unplugged memory, are already properly
excluded; however, especially when accessing/copying /proc/vmcore "the
usual way", we can still end up reading logically unplugged memory part
of a virtio-mem device.
Patch #1-#3 are cleanups. Patch #4 extends the existing
oldmem_pfn_is_ram mechanism. Patch #5-#7 are virtio-mem refactorings
for patch #8, which implements the virtio-mem logic to query the state
of device blocks.
Patch #8:
"Although virtio-mem currently supports reading unplugged memory in the
hypervisor, this will change in the future, indicated to the device
via a new feature flag. We similarly sanitized /proc/kcore access
recently.
[...]
Distributions that support virtio-mem+kdump have to make sure that the
virtio_mem module will be part of the kdump kernel or the kdump
initrd; dracut was recently [2] extended to include virtio-mem in the
generated initrd. As long as no special kdump kernels are used, this
will automatically make sure that virtio-mem will be around in the
kdump initrd and sanitize /proc/vmcore access -- with dracut"
This is the last remaining bit to support
VIRTIO_MEM_F_UNPLUGGED_INACCESSIBLE [3] in the Linux implementation of
virtio-mem.
Note: this is best-effort. We'll never be able to control what runs
inside the second kernel, really, but we also don't have to care: we
only care about sane setups where we don't want our VM getting zapped
once we touch the wrong memory location while dumping. While we usually
expect sane setups to use "makedumfile", nothing really speaks against
just copying /proc/vmcore, especially in environments where HWpoisioning
isn't typically expected. Also, we really don't want to put all our
trust completely on the memmap, so sanitizing also makes sense when just
using "makedumpfile".

Historically (pre-2.5), the inode shrinker used to reclaim only empty
inodes and skip over those that still contained page cache. This caused
problems on highmem hosts: struct inode could put fill lowmem zones
before the cache was getting reclaimed in the highmem zones.
To address this, the inode shrinker started to strip page cache to
facilitate reclaiming lowmem. However, this comes with its own set of
problems: the shrinkers may drop actively used page cache just because
the inodes are not currently open or dirty - think working with a large
git tree. It further doesn't respect cgroup memory protection settings
and can cause priority inversions between containers.
Nowadays, the page cache also holds non-resident info for evicted cache
pages in order to detect refaults. We've come to rely heavily on this
data inside reclaim for protecting the cache workingset and driving swap
behavior. We also use it to quantify and report workload health through
psi. The latter in turn is used for fleet health monitoring, as well as
driving automated memory sizing of workloads and containers, proactive
reclaim and memory offloading schemes.
The consequences of dropping page cache prematurely is that we're seeing
subtle and not-so-subtle failures in all of the above-mentioned
scenarios, with the workload generally entering unexpected thrashing
states while losing the ability to reliably detect it.
To fix this on non-highmem systems at least, going back to rotating
inodes on the LRU isn't feasible. We've tried (commit a76cf1a474
("mm: don't reclaim inodes with many attached pages")) and failed
(commit 69056ee6a8 ("Revert "mm: don't reclaim inodes with many
attached pages"")).
The issue is mostly that shrinker pools attract pressure based on their
size, and when objects get skipped the shrinkers remember this as
deferred reclaim work. This accumulates excessive pressure on the
remaining inodes, and we can quickly eat into heavily used ones, or
dirty ones that require IO to reclaim, when there potentially is plenty
of cold, clean cache around still.
Instead, this patch keeps populated inodes off the inode LRU in the
first place - just like an open file or dirty state would. An otherwise
clean and unused inode then gets queued when the last cache entry
disappears. This solves the problem without reintroducing the reclaim
issues, and generally is a bit more scalable than having to wade through
potentially hundreds of thousands of busy inodes.
Locking is a bit tricky because the locks protecting the inode state
(i_lock) and the inode LRU (lru_list.lock) don't nest inside the
irq-safe page cache lock (i_pages.xa_lock). Page cache deletions are
serialized through i_lock, taken before the i_pages lock, to make sure
depopulated inodes are queued reliably. Additions may race with
deletions, but we'll check again in the shrinker. If additions race
with the shrinker itself, we're protected by the i_lock: if find_inode()
or iput() win, the shrinker will bail on the elevated i_count or
I_REFERENCED; if the shrinker wins and goes ahead with the inode, it
will set I_FREEING and inhibit further igets(), which will cause the
other side to create a new instance of the inode instead.

This implements a new kernel subsystem that finds cold memory regions
using DAMON and reclaims those immediately. It is intended to be used
as proactive lightweigh reclamation logic for light memory pressure.
For heavy memory pressure, it could be inactivated and fall back to the
traditional page-scanning based reclamation.
It's implemented on top of DAMON framework to use the DAMON-based
Operation Schemes (DAMOS) feature. It utilizes all the DAMOS features
including speed limit, prioritization, and watermarks.
It could be enabled and tuned in boot time via the kernel boot
parameter, and in run time via its module parameters
('/sys/module/damon_reclaim/parameters/') interface.

DAMON-based operation schemes need to be manually turned on and off. In
some use cases, however, the condition for turning a scheme on and off
would depend on the system's situation. For example, schemes for
proactive pages reclamation would need to be turned on when some memory
pressure is detected, and turned off when the system has enough free
memory.
For easier control of schemes activation based on the system situation,
this introduces a watermarks-based mechanism. The client can describe
the watermark metric (e.g., amount of free memory in the system),
watermark check interval, and three watermarks, namely high, mid, and
low. If the scheme is deactivated, it only gets the metric and compare
that to the three watermarks for every check interval. If the metric is
higher than the high watermark, the scheme is deactivated. If the
metric is between the mid watermark and the low watermark, the scheme is
activated. If the metric is lower than the low watermark, the scheme is
deactivated again. This is to allow users fall back to traditional
page-granularity mechanisms.

This makes the default monitoring primitives for virtual address spaces
and the physical address sapce to support memory regions prioritization
for 'PAGEOUT' DAMOS action. It calculates hotness of each region as
weighted sum of 'nr_accesses' and 'age' of the region and get the
priority score as reverse of the hotness, so that cold regions can be
paged out first.

This makes DAMON apply schemes to regions having higher priority first,
if it cannot apply schemes to all regions due to the quotas.
The prioritization function should be implemented in the monitoring
primitives. Those would commonly calculate the priority of the region
using attributes of regions, namely 'size', 'nr_accesses', and 'age'.
For example, some primitive would calculate the priority of each region
using a weighted sum of 'nr_accesses' and 'age' of the region.
The optimal weights would depend on give environments, so this makes
those customizable. Nevertheless, the score calculation functions are
only encouraged to respect the weights, not mandated.

The size quota feature of DAMOS is useful for IO resource-critical
systems, but not so intuitive for CPU time-critical systems. Systems
using zram or zswap-like swap device would be examples.
To provide another intuitive ways for such systems, this implements
time-based quota for DAMON-based Operation Schemes. If the quota is
set, DAMOS tries to use only up to the user-defined quota of CPU time
within a given time window.

If DAMOS has stopped applying action in the middle of a group of memory
regions due to its size quota, it starts the work again from the
beginning of the address space in the next charge window. If there is a
huge memory region at the beginning of the address space and it fulfills
the scheme's target data access pattern always, the action will applied
to only the region.
This mitigates the case by skipping memory regions that charged in
current charge window at the beginning of next charge window.
