Patch series "Multi-Gen LRU Framework", v14.
What's new
==========
1. OpenWrt, in addition to Android, Arch Linux Zen, Armbian, ChromeOS,
Liquorix, post-factum and XanMod, is now shipping MGLRU on 5.15.
2. Fixed long-tailed direct reclaim latency seen on high-memory (TBs)
machines. The old direct reclaim backoff, which tries to enforce a
minimum fairness among all eligible memcgs, over-swapped by about
(total_mem>>DEF_PRIORITY)-nr_to_reclaim. The new backoff, which
pulls the plug on swapping once the target is met, trades some
fairness for curtailed latency:

3. Fixed minior build warnings and conflicts. More comments and nits.
TLDR
====
The current page reclaim is too expensive in terms of CPU usage and it
often makes poor choices about what to evict. This patchset offers an
alternative solution that is performant, versatile and
straightforward.

Benchmark results
=================
Independent lab results
-----------------------
Based on the popularity of searches [01] and the memory usage in
Google's public cloud, the most popular open-source memory-hungry
applications, in alphabetical order, are:
Apache Cassandra Memcached
Apache Hadoop MongoDB
Apache Spark PostgreSQL
MariaDB (MySQL) Redis
An independent lab evaluated MGLRU with the most widely used benchmark
suites for the above applications. They posted 960 data points along
with kernel metrics and perf profiles collected over more than 500
hours of total benchmark time. Their final reports show that, with 95%
confidence intervals (CIs), the above applications all performed
significantly better for at least part of their benchmark matrices.
On 5.14:
1. Apache Spark [02] took 95% CIs [9.28, 11.19]% and [12.20, 14.93]%
less wall time to sort three billion random integers, respectively,
under the medium- and the high-concurrency conditions, when
overcommitting memory. There were no statistically significant
changes in wall time for the rest of the benchmark matrix.
2. MariaDB [03] achieved 95% CIs [5.24, 10.71]% and [20.22, 25.97]%
more transactions per minute (TPM), respectively, under the medium-
and the high-concurrency conditions, when overcommitting memory.
There were no statistically significant changes in TPM for the rest
of the benchmark matrix.
3. Memcached [04] achieved 95% CIs [23.54, 32.25]%, [20.76, 41.61]%
and [21.59, 30.02]% more operations per second (OPS), respectively,
for sequential access, random access and Gaussian (distribution)
access, when THP=always; 95% CIs [13.85, 15.97]% and
[23.94, 29.92]% more OPS, respectively, for random access and
Gaussian access, when THP=never. There were no statistically
significant changes in OPS for the rest of the benchmark matrix.
4. MongoDB [05] achieved 95% CIs [2.23, 3.44]%, [6.97, 9.73]% and
[2.16, 3.55]% more operations per second (OPS), respectively, for
exponential (distribution) access, random access and Zipfian
(distribution) access, when underutilizing memory; 95% CIs
[8.83, 10.03]%, [21.12, 23.14]% and [5.53, 6.46]% more OPS,
respectively, for exponential access, random access and Zipfian
access, when overcommitting memory.
On 5.15:
5. Apache Cassandra [06] achieved 95% CIs [1.06, 4.10]%, [1.94, 5.43]%
and [4.11, 7.50]% more operations per second (OPS), respectively,

(distribution) access, when swap was off; 95% CIs [0.50, 2.60]%,
[6.51, 8.77]% and [3.29, 6.75]% more OPS, respectively, for
exponential access, random access and Zipfian access, when swap was
on.
6. Apache Hadoop [07] took 95% CIs [5.31, 9.69]% and [2.02, 7.86]%
less average wall time to finish twelve parallel TeraSort jobs,
respectively, under the medium- and the high-concurrency
conditions, when swap was on. There were no statistically
significant changes in average wall time for the rest of the
benchmark matrix.
7. PostgreSQL [08] achieved 95% CI [1.75, 6.42]% more transactions per
minute (TPM) under the high-concurrency condition, when swap was
off; 95% CIs [12.82, 18.69]% and [22.70, 46.86]% more TPM,
respectively, under the medium- and the high-concurrency
conditions, when swap was on. There were no statistically
significant changes in TPM for the rest of the benchmark matrix.
8. Redis [09] achieved 95% CIs [0.58, 5.94]%, [6.55, 14.58]% and
[11.47, 19.36]% more total operations per second (OPS),
respectively, for sequential access, random access and Gaussian
(distribution) access, when THP=always; 95% CIs [1.27, 3.54]%,
[10.11, 14.81]% and [8.75, 13.64]% more total OPS, respectively,
for sequential access, random access and Gaussian access, when
THP=never.

Third-party testimonials
------------------------
Konstantin reported [11]:
I have Archlinux with 8G RAM + zswap + swap. While developing, I
have lots of apps opened such as multiple LSP-servers for different
langs, chats, two browsers, etc... Usually, my system gets quickly
to a point of SWAP-storms, where I have to kill LSP-servers,
restart browsers to free memory, etc, otherwise the system lags
heavily and is barely usable.
1.5 day ago I migrated from 5.11.15 kernel to 5.12 + the LRU
patchset, and I started up by opening lots of apps to create memory
pressure, and worked for a day like this. Till now I had not a
single SWAP-storm, and mind you I got 3.4G in SWAP. I was never
getting to the point of 3G in SWAP before without a single
SWAP-storm.
Vaibhav from IBM reported [12]:
In a synthetic MongoDB Benchmark, seeing an average of ~19%
throughput improvement on POWER10(Radix MMU + 64K Page Size) with
MGLRU patches on top of 5.16 kernel for MongoDB + YCSB across
three different request distributions, namely, Exponential, Uniform
and Zipfan.
Shuang from U of Rochester reported [13]:
With the MGLRU, fio achieved 95% CIs [38.95, 40.26]%, [4.12, 6.64]%
and [9.26, 10.36]% higher throughput, respectively, for random
access, Zipfian (distribution) access and Gaussian (distribution)
access, when the average number of jobs per CPU is 1; 95% CIs
[42.32, 49.15]%, [9.44, 9.89]% and [20.99, 22.86]% higher
throughput, respectively, for random access, Zipfian access and
Gaussian access, when the average number of jobs per CPU is 2.
Daniel from Michigan Tech reported [14]:
With Memcached allocating ~100GB of byte-addressable Optante,
performance improvement in terms of throughput (measured as queries
per second) was about 10% for a series of workloads.
Large-scale deployments
-----------------------
We've rolled out MGLRU to tens of millions of ChromeOS users and
about a million Android users. Google's fleetwide profiling [15] shows
an overall 40% decrease in kswapd CPU usage, in addition to
improvements in other UX metrics, e.g., an 85% decrease in the number
of low-memory kills at the 75th percentile and an 18% decrease in
app launch time at the 50th percentile.
The downstream kernels that have been using MGLRU include:
1. Android [16]
2. Arch Linux Zen [17]
3. Armbian [18]
4. ChromeOS [19]
5. Liquorix [20]
6. OpenWrt [21]
7. post-factum [22]
8. XanMod [23]

Summary
=======
The facts are:
1. The independent lab results and the real-world applications
indicate substantial improvements; there are no known regressions.
2. Thrashing prevention, working set estimation and proactive reclaim
work out of the box; there are no equivalent solutions.
3. There is a lot of new code; no smaller changes have been
demonstrated similar effects.
Our options, accordingly, are:
1. Given the amount of evidence, the reported improvements will likely
materialize for a wide range of workloads.
2. Gauging the interest from the past discussions, the new features
will likely be put to use for both personal computers and data
centers.
3. Based on Google's track record, the new code will likely be well
maintained in the long term. It'd be more difficult if not
impossible to achieve similar effects with other approaches.
This patch (of 14):
Some architectures automatically set the accessed bit in PTEs, e.g., x86
and arm64 v8.2. On architectures that do not have this capability,
clearing the accessed bit in a PTE usually triggers a page fault following
the TLB miss of this PTE (to emulate the accessed bit).
Being aware of this capability can help make better decisions, e.g.,
whether to spread the work out over a period of time to reduce bursty page
faults when trying to clear the accessed bit in many PTEs.
Note that theoretically this capability can be unreliable, e.g.,
hotplugged CPUs might be different from builtin ones. Therefore it should
not be used in architecture-independent code that involves correctness,
e.g., to determine whether TLB flushes are required (in combination with
the accessed bit).

THP_SWAP has been proven to improve the swap throughput significantly
on x86_64 according to commit bd4c82c22c ("mm, THP, swap: delay
splitting THP after swapped out").
As long as arm64 uses 4K page size, it is quite similar with x86_64
by having 2MB PMD THP. THP_SWAP is architecture-independent, thus,
enabling it on arm64 will benefit arm64 as well.
A corner case is that MTE has an assumption that only base pages
can be swapped. We won't enable THP_SWAP for ARM64 hardware with
MTE support until MTE is reworked to coexist with THP_SWAP.
A micro-benchmark is written to measure thp swapout throughput as
below,
unsigned long long tv_to_ms(struct timeval tv)
{
return tv.tv_sec * 1000 + tv.tv_usec / 1000;
}
main()
{
struct timeval tv_b, tv_e;;
#define SIZE 400*1024*1024
volatile void *p = mmap(NULL, SIZE, PROT_READ | PROT_WRITE,
MAP_PRIVATE | MAP_ANONYMOUS, -1, 0);
if (!p) {
perror("fail to get memory");
exit(-1);
}
madvise(p, SIZE, MADV_HUGEPAGE);
memset(p, 0x11, SIZE); /* write to get mem */
gettimeofday(&tv_b, NULL);
madvise(p, SIZE, MADV_PAGEOUT);
gettimeofday(&tv_e, NULL);
printf("swp out bandwidth: %ld bytes/ms\n",
SIZE/(tv_to_ms(tv_e) - tv_to_ms(tv_b)));
}
Testing is done on rk3568 64bit Quad Core Cortex-A55 platform -
ROCK 3A.
thp swp throughput w/o patch: 2734bytes/ms (mean of 10 tests)

Commit 18107f8a2d ("arm64: Support execute-only permissions with
Enhanced PAN") re-introduced execute-only permissions when EPAN is
available. When EPAN is not available, arch_filter_pgprot() is supposed
to change a PAGE_EXECONLY permission into PAGE_READONLY_EXEC. However,
if BTI or MTE are present, such check does not detect the execute-only
pgprot in the presence of PTE_GP (BTI) or MT_NORMAL_TAGGED (MTE),
allowing the user to request PROT_EXEC with PROT_BTI or PROT_MTE.
Remove the arch_filter_pgprot() function, change the default VM_EXEC
permissions to PAGE_READONLY_EXEC and update the protection_map[] array
at core_initcall() if EPAN is detected.

A KVM guest could store tags in a page even if the VMM hasn't mapped
the page with PROT_MTE. So when restoring pages from swap we will
need to check to see if there are any saved tags even if !pte_tagged().
However don't check pages for which pte_access_permitted() returns false
as these will not have been swapped out.

With hardware dirty bit management, calling pte_wrprotect() on a writable,
dirty PTE will lose the dirty state and return a read-only, clean entry.
Move the logic from ptep_set_wrprotect() into pte_wrprotect() to ensure that
the dirty bit is preserved for writable entries, as this is required for
soft-dirty bit management if we enable it in the future.

pte_accessible() is used by ptep_clear_flush() to figure out whether TLB
invalidation is necessary when unmapping pages for reclaim. Although our
implementation is correct according to the architecture, returning true
only for valid, young ptes in the absence of racing page-table
modifications, this is in fact flawed due to lazy invalidation of old
ptes in ptep_clear_flush_young() where we elide the expensive DSB
instruction for completing the TLB invalidation.
Rather than penalise the aging path, adjust pte_accessible() to return
true for any valid pte, even if the access flag is cleared.

Depending on configuration options and specific code paths, we either
use the empty_zero_page or the configuration-dependent reserved_ttbr0
as a reserved value for TTBR{0,1}_EL1.
To simplify this code, let's always allocate and use the same
reserved_pg_dir, replacing reserved_ttbr0. Note that this is allocated
(and hence pre-zeroed), and is also marked as read-only in the kernel
Image mapping.
Keeping this separate from the empty_zero_page potentially helps with
robustness as the empty_zero_page is used in a number of cases where a
failure to map it read-only could allow it to become corrupted.
The (presently unused) swapper_pg_end symbol is also removed, and
comments are added wherever we rely on the offsets between the
pre-allocated pg_dirs to keep these cases easily identifiable.

Tidy up the way the top of the kernel VA space is organized, by mirroring
the 256 MB region we have below the vmalloc space, and populating it top
down with the PCI I/O space, some guard regions, and the fixmap region.
The latter region is itself populated top down, and today only covers
about 4 MB, and so 224 MB is ample, and no guard region is therefore
required.
The resulting layout is identical between 48-bit/4k and 52-bit/64k
configurations.

On arm64, the global variable memstart_addr represents the physical
address of PAGE_OFFSET, and so physical to virtual translations or
vice versa used to come down to simple additions or subtractions
involving the values of PAGE_OFFSET and memstart_addr.
When support for 52-bit virtual addressing was introduced, we had to
deal with PAGE_OFFSET potentially being outside of the region that
can be covered by the virtual range (as the 52-bit VA capable build
needs to be able to run on systems that are only 48-bit VA capable),
and for this reason, another translation was introduced, and recorded
in the global variable physvirt_offset.
However, if we go back to the original definition of memstart_addr,
i.e., the physical address of PAGE_OFFSET, it turns out that there is
no need for two separate translations: instead, we can simply subtract
the size of the unaddressable VA space from memstart_addr to make the
available physical memory appear in the 48-bit addressable VA region.
This simplifies things, but also fixes a bug on KASLR builds, which
may update memstart_addr later on in arm64_memblock_init(), but fails
to update vmemmap and physvirt_offset accordingly.

The function __{pgd, pud, pmd, pte}_error() are introduced so that
they can be called by {pgd, pud, pmd, pte}_ERROR(). However, some
of the functions could never be called when the corresponding page
table level isn't enabled. For example, __{pud, pmd}_error() are
unused when PUD and PMD are folded to PGD.
This removes __{pgd, pud, pmd, pte}_error() and call pr_err() from
{pgd, pud, pmd, pte}_ERROR() directly, similar to what x86/powerpc
are doing. With this, the code looks a bit simplified either.

pmd_present() and pmd_trans_huge() are expected to behave in the following
manner during various phases of a given PMD. It is derived from a previous
detailed discussion on this topic [1] and present THP documentation [2].
pmd_present(pmd):
- Returns true if pmd refers to system RAM with a valid pmd_page(pmd)
- Returns false if pmd refers to a migration or swap entry
pmd_trans_huge(pmd):
- Returns true if pmd refers to system RAM and is a trans huge mapping
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
| PMD states | pmd_present | pmd_trans_huge |
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
| Mapped | Yes | Yes |
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
| Splitting | Yes | Yes |
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
| Migration/Swap | No | No |
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
The problem:
PMD is first invalidated with pmdp_invalidate() before it's splitting. This
invalidation clears PMD_SECT_VALID as below.
PMD Split -> pmdp_invalidate() -> pmd_mkinvalid -> Clears PMD_SECT_VALID
Once PMD_SECT_VALID gets cleared, it results in pmd_present() return false
on the PMD entry. It will need another bit apart from PMD_SECT_VALID to re-
affirm pmd_present() as true during the THP split process. To comply with
above mentioned semantics, pmd_trans_huge() should also check pmd_present()
first before testing presence of an actual transparent huge mapping.
The solution:
Ideally PMD_TYPE_SECT should have been used here instead. But it shares the
bit position with PMD_SECT_VALID which is used for THP invalidation. Hence
it will not be there for pmd_present() check after pmdp_invalidate().
A new software defined PMD_PRESENT_INVALID (bit 59) can be set on the PMD
entry during invalidation which can help pmd_present() return true and in
recognizing the fact that it still points to memory.
This bit is transient. During the split process it will be overridden by a
page table page representing normal pages in place of erstwhile huge page.
Other pmdp_invalidate() callers always write a fresh PMD value on the entry
overriding this transient PMD_PRESENT_INVALID bit, which makes it safe.

When swapping pages out to disk it is necessary to save any tags that
have been set, and restore when swapping back in. Make use of the new
page flag (PG_ARCH_2, locally named PG_mte_tagged) to identify pages
with tags. When swapping out these pages the tags are stored in memory
and later restored when the pages are brought back in. Because shmem can
swap pages back in without restoring the userspace PTE it is also
necessary to add a hook for shmem.

To enable tagging on a memory range, the user must explicitly opt in via
a new PROT_MTE flag passed to mmap() or mprotect(). Since this is a new
memory type in the AttrIndx field of a pte, simplify the or'ing of these
bits over the protection_map[] attributes by making MT_NORMAL index 0.
There are two conditions for arch_vm_get_page_prot() to return the
MT_NORMAL_TAGGED memory type: (1) the user requested it via PROT_MTE,
registered as VM_MTE in the vm_flags, and (2) the vma supports MTE,
decided during the mmap() call (only) and registered as VM_MTE_ALLOWED.
arch_calc_vm_prot_bits() is responsible for registering the user request
as VM_MTE. The newly introduced arch_calc_vm_flag_bits() sets
VM_MTE_ALLOWED if the mapping is MAP_ANONYMOUS. An MTE-capable
filesystem (RAM-based) may be able to set VM_MTE_ALLOWED during its
mmap() file ops call.
In addition, update VM_DATA_DEFAULT_FLAGS to allow mprotect(PROT_MTE) on
stack or brk area.
The Linux mmap() syscall currently ignores unknown PROT_* flags. In the
presence of MTE, an mmap(PROT_MTE) on a file which does not support MTE
will not report an error and the memory will not be mapped as Normal
Tagged. For consistency, mprotect(PROT_MTE) will not report an error
either if the memory range does not support MTE. Two subsequent patches
in the series will propose tightening of this behaviour.

Pages allocated by the kernel are not guaranteed to have the tags
zeroed, especially as the kernel does not (yet) use MTE itself. To
ensure the user can still access such pages when mapped into its address
space, clear the tags via set_pte_at(). A new page flag - PG_mte_tagged
(PG_arch_2) - is used to track pages with valid allocation tags.
Since the zero page is mapped as pte_special(), it won't be covered by
the above set_pte_at() mechanism. Clear its tags during early MTE
initialisation.

Commit cca98e9f8b ("mm: enforce that vmap can't map pages executable")
introduced 'pgprot_nx(prot)' for arm64 but collided silently with the
BTI support during the merge window, which endeavours to clear the GP
bit for non-executable kernel mappings in set_memory_nx().
For consistency between the two APIs, clear the GP bit in pgprot_nx().
