2016-05-23mm, proc: make clear_refs killableMichal Hocko
CLEAR_REFS_MM_HIWATER_RSS and CLEAR_REFS_SOFT_DIRTY are relying on mmap_sem for write. If the waiting task gets killed by the oom killer and it would operate on the current's mm it would block oom_reaper from asynchronous address space reclaim and reduce the chances of timely OOM resolving. Wait for the lock in the killable mode and return with EINTR if the task got killed while waiting. This will also expedite the return to the userspace and do_exit even if the mm is remote.

2016-05-20procfs: fix pthread cross-thread naming if !PR_DUMPABLEJanis Danisevskis
The PR_DUMPABLE flag causes the pid related paths of the proc file system to be owned by ROOT. The implementation of pthread_set/getname_np however needs access to /proc/<pid>/task/<tid>/comm. If PR_DUMPABLE is false this implementation is locked out. This patch installs a special permission function for the file "comm" that grants read and write access to all threads of the same group regardless of the ownership of the inode. For all other threads the function falls back to the generic inode permission check.

2016-05-20procfs: expose umask in /proc/<PID>/statusRichard W.M. Jones
It's not possible to read the process umask without also modifying it, which is what umask(2) does. A library cannot read umask safely, especially if the main program might be multithreaded. Add a new status line ("Umask") in /proc/<PID>/status. It contains the file mode creation mask (umask) in octal. It is only shown for tasks which have task->fs. This patch is adapted from one originally written by Pierre Carrier. The use case is that we have endless trouble with people setting weird umask() values (usually on the grounds of "security"), and then everything breaking. I'm on the hook to fix these. We'd like to add debugging to our program so we can dump out the umask in debug reports. Previous versions of the patch used a syscall so you could only read your own umask. That's all I need. However there was quite a lot of push-back from those, so this new version exports it in /proc.

2016-05-19mm: rename _count, field of the struct page, to _refcountJoonsoo Kim
Many developers already know that field for reference count of the struct page is _count and atomic type. They would try to handle it directly and this could break the purpose of page reference count tracepoint. To prevent direct _count modification, this patch rename it to _refcount and add warning message on the code. After that, developer who need to handle reference count will find that field should not be accessed directly.

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/viro/vfs Pull parallel filesystem directory handling update from Al Viro. This is the main parallel directory work by Al that makes the vfs layer able to do lookup and readdir in parallel within a single directory. That's a big change, since this used to be all protected by the directory inode mutex. The inode mutex is replaced by an rwsem, and serialization of lookups of a single name is done by a "in-progress" dentry marker. The series begins with xattr cleanups, and then ends with switching filesystems over to actually doing the readdir in parallel (switching to the "iterate_shared()" that only takes the read lock). A more detailed explanation of the process from Al Viro: "The xattr work starts with some acl fixes, then switches ->getxattr to passing inode and dentry separately. This is the point where the things start to get tricky - that got merged into the very beginning of the -rc3-based #work.lookups, to allow untangling the security_d_instantiate() mess. The xattr work itself proceeds to switch a lot of filesystems to generic_...xattr(); no complications there. After that initial xattr work, the series then does the following: - untangle security_d_instantiate() - convert a bunch of open-coded lookup_one_len_unlocked() to calls of that thing; one such place (in overlayfs) actually yields a trivial conflict with overlayfs fixes later in the cycle - overlayfs ended up switching to a variant of lookup_one_len_unlocked() sans the permission checks. I would've dropped that commit (it gets overridden on merge from #ovl-fixes in #for-next; proper resolution is to use the variant in mainline fs/overlayfs/super.c), but I didn't want to rebase the damn thing - it was fairly late in the cycle... - some filesystems had managed to depend on lookup/lookup exclusion for *fs-internal* data structures in a way that would break if we relaxed the VFS exclusion. Fixing hadn't been hard, fortunately. - core of that series - parallel lookup machinery, replacing ->i_mutex with rwsem, making lookup_slow() take it only shared. At that point lookups happen in parallel; lookups on the same name wait for the in-progress one to be done with that dentry. Surprisingly little code, at that - almost all of it is in fs/dcache.c, with fs/namei.c changes limited to lookup_slow() - making it use the new primitive and actually switching to locking shared. - parallel readdir stuff - first of all, we provide the exclusion on per-struct file basis, same as we do for read() vs lseek() for regular files. That takes care of most of the needed exclusion in readdir/readdir; however, these guys are trickier than lookups, so I went for switching them one-by-one. To do that, a new method '->iterate_shared()' is added and filesystems are switched to it as they are either confirmed to be OK with shared lock on directory or fixed to be OK with that. I hope to kill the original method come next cycle (almost all in-tree filesystems are switched already), but it's still not quite finished. - several filesystems get switched to parallel readdir. The interesting part here is dealing with dcache preseeding by readdir; that needs minor adjustment to be safe with directory locked only shared. Most of the filesystems doing that got switched to in those commits. Important exception: NFS. Turns out that NFS folks, with their, er, insistence on VFS getting the fuck out of the way of the Smart Filesystem Code That Knows How And What To Lock(tm) have grown the locking of their own. They had their own homegrown rwsem, with lookup/readdir/atomic_open being *writers* (sillyunlink is the reader there). Of course, with VFS getting the fuck out of the way, as requested, the actual smarts of the smart filesystem code etc. had become exposed... - do_last/lookup_open/atomic_open cleanups. As the result, open() without O_CREAT locks the directory only shared. Including the ->atomic_open() case. Backmerge from #for-linus in the middle of that - atomic_open() fix got brought in. - then comes NFS switch to saner (VFS-based ;-) locking, killing the homegrown "lookup and readdir are writers" kinda-sorta rwsem. All exclusion for sillyunlink/lookup is done by the parallel lookups mechanism. Exclusion between sillyunlink and rmdir is a real rwsem now - rmdir being the writer. Result: NFS lookups/readdirs/O_CREAT-less opens happen in parallel now. - the rest of the series consists of switching a lot of filesystems to parallel readdir; in a lot of cases ->llseek() gets simplified as well.

2016-05-05proc: prevent accessing /proc/<PID>/environ until it's readyMathias Krause
If /proc/<PID>/environ gets read before the envp[] array is fully set up in create_{aout,elf,elf_fdpic,flat}_tables(), we might end up trying to read more bytes than are actually written, as env_start will already be set but env_end will still be zero, making the range calculation underflow, allowing to read beyond the end of what has been written. Fix this as it is done for /proc/<PID>/cmdline by testing env_end for zero. It is, apparently, intentionally set last in create_*_tables(). This bug was found by the PaX size_overflow plugin that detected the arithmetic underflow of 'this_len = env_end - (env_start + src)' when env_end is still zero. The expected consequence is that userland trying to access /proc/<PID>/environ of a not yet fully set up process may get inconsistent data as we're in the middle of copying in the environment variables.

2016-04-28numa: fix /proc/<pid>/numa_maps for THPGerald Schaefer
In gather_pte_stats() a THP pmd is cast into a pte, which is wrong because the layouts may differ depending on the architecture. On s390 this will lead to inaccurate numa_maps accounting in /proc because of misguided pte_present() and pte_dirty() checks on the fake pte. On other architectures pte_present() and pte_dirty() may work by chance, but there may be an issue with direct-access (dax) mappings w/o underlying struct pages when HAVE_PTE_SPECIAL is set and THP is available. In vm_normal_page() the fake pte will be checked with pte_special() and because there is no "special" bit in a pmd, this will always return false and the VM_PFNMAP | VM_MIXEDMAP checking will be skipped. On dax mappings w/o struct pages, an invalid struct page pointer would then be returned that can crash the kernel. This patch fixes the numa_maps THP handling by introducing new "_pmd" variants of the can_gather_numa_stats() and vm_normal_page() functions.

2016-04-04mm, fs: get rid of PAGE_CACHE_* and page_cache_{get,release} macrosKirill A. Shutemov
PAGE_CACHE_{SIZE,SHIFT,MASK,ALIGN} macros were introduced *long* time ago with promise that one day it will be possible to implement page cache with bigger chunks than PAGE_SIZE. This promise never materialized. And unlikely will. We have many places where PAGE_CACHE_SIZE assumed to be equal to PAGE_SIZE. And it's constant source of confusion on whether PAGE_CACHE_* or PAGE_* constant should be used in a particular case, especially on the border between fs and mm. Global switching to PAGE_CACHE_SIZE != PAGE_SIZE would cause to much breakage to be doable. Let's stop pretending that pages in page cache are special. They are not. The changes are pretty straight-forward: - <foo> << (PAGE_CACHE_SHIFT - PAGE_SHIFT) -> <foo>; - <foo> >> (PAGE_CACHE_SHIFT - PAGE_SHIFT) -> <foo>; - PAGE_CACHE_{SIZE,SHIFT,MASK,ALIGN} -> PAGE_{SIZE,SHIFT,MASK,ALIGN}; - page_cache_get() -> get_page(); - page_cache_release() -> put_page(); This patch contains automated changes generated with coccinelle using script below. For some reason, coccinelle doesn't patch header files. I've called spatch for them manually. The only adjustment after coccinelle is revert of changes to PAGE_CAHCE_ALIGN definition: we are going to drop it later. There are few places in the code where coccinelle didn't reach. I'll fix them manually in a separate patch. Comments and documentation also will be addressed with the separate patch. virtual patch @@ expression E; @@ - E << (PAGE_CACHE_SHIFT - PAGE_SHIFT) + E @@ expression E; @@ - E >> (PAGE_CACHE_SHIFT - PAGE_SHIFT) + E @@ @@ - PAGE_CACHE_SHIFT + PAGE_SHIFT @@ @@ - PAGE_CACHE_SIZE + PAGE_SIZE @@ @@ - PAGE_CACHE_MASK + PAGE_MASK @@ expression E; @@ - PAGE_CACHE_ALIGN(E) + PAGE_ALIGN(E) @@ expression E; @@ - page_cache_get(E) + get_page(E) @@ expression E; @@ - page_cache_release(E) + put_page(E) Signed-off-by: Kirill A.

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip Pull x86 protection key support from Ingo Molnar: "This tree adds support for a new memory protection hardware feature that is available in upcoming Intel CPUs: 'protection keys' (pkeys). There's a background article at LWN.net: https://lwn.net/Articles/643797/ The gist is that protection keys allow the encoding of user-controllable permission masks in the pte. So instead of having a fixed protection mask in the pte (which needs a system call to change and works on a per page basis), the user can map a (handful of) protection mask variants and can change the masks runtime relatively cheaply, without having to change every single page in the affected virtual memory range. This allows the dynamic switching of the protection bits of large amounts of virtual memory, via user-space instructions. It also allows more precise control of MMU permission bits: for example the executable bit is separate from the read bit (see more about that below). This tree adds the MM infrastructure and low level x86 glue needed for that, plus it adds a high level API to make use of protection keys - if a user-space application calls: mmap(..., PROT_EXEC); or mprotect(ptr, sz, PROT_EXEC); (note PROT_EXEC-only, without PROT_READ/WRITE), the kernel will notice this special case, and will set a special protection key on this memory range. It also sets the appropriate bits in the Protection Keys User Rights (PKRU) register so that the memory becomes unreadable and unwritable. So using protection keys the kernel is able to implement 'true' PROT_EXEC on x86 CPUs: without protection keys PROT_EXEC implies PROT_READ as well. Unreadable executable mappings have security advantages: they cannot be read via information leaks to figure out ASLR details, nor can they be scanned for ROP gadgets - and they cannot be used by exploits for data purposes either. We know about no user-space code that relies on pure PROT_EXEC mappings today, but binary loaders could start making use of this new feature to map binaries and libraries in a more secure fashion. There is other pending pkeys work that offers more high level system call APIs to manage protection keys - but those are not part of this pull request. Right now there's a Kconfig that controls this feature (CONFIG_X86_INTEL_MEMORY_PROTECTION_KEYS) that is default enabled (like most x86 CPU feature enablement code that has no runtime overhead), but it's not user-configurable at the moment.

2016-03-17proc-vmcore: wrong data type casting fixDave Young
On i686 PAE enabled machine the contiguous physical area could be large and it can cause trimming down variables in below calculation in read_vmcore() and mmap_vmcore(): tsz = min_t(size_t, m->offset + m->size - *fpos, buflen); That is, the types being used is like below on i686: m->offset: unsigned long long int m->size: unsigned long long int *fpos: loff_t (long long int) buflen: size_t (unsigned int) So casting (m->offset + m->size - *fpos) by size_t means truncating a given value by 4GB. Suppose (m->offset + m->size - *fpos) being truncated to 0, buflen >0 then we will get tsz = 0. It is of course not an expected result. Similarly we could also get other truncated values less than buflen. Then the real size passed down is not correct any more. If (m->offset + m->size - *fpos) is above 4GB, read_vmcore or mmap_vmcore use the min_t result with truncated values being compared to buflen. Then, fpos proceeds with the wrong value so that we reach below bugs: 1) read_vmcore will refuse to continue so makedumpfile fails. 2) mmap_vmcore will trigger BUG_ON() in remap_pfn_range(). Use unsigned long long in min_t instead so that the variables in are not truncated.

This patch provides a proc/PID/timerslack_ns interface which exposes a task's timerslack value in nanoseconds and allows it to be changed. This allows power/performance management software to set timer slack for other threads according to its policy for the thread (such as when the thread is designated foreground vs. background activity) If the value written is non-zero, slack is set to that value. Otherwise sets it to the default for the thread. This interface checks that the calling task has permissions to to use PTRACE_MODE_ATTACH_FSCREDS on the target task, so that we can ensure arbitrary apps do not change the timer slack for other apps.

2016-02-16cgroup: introduce cgroup namespacesAditya Kali
Introduce the ability to create new cgroup namespace. The newly created cgroup namespace remembers the cgroup of the process at the point of creation of the cgroup namespace (referred as cgroupns-root). The main purpose of cgroup namespace is to virtualize the contents of /proc/self/cgroup file. Processes inside a cgroup namespace are only able to see paths relative to their namespace root (unless they are moved outside of their cgroupns-root, at which point they will see a relative path from their cgroupns-root). For a correctly setup container this enables container-tools (like libcontainer, lxc, lmctfy, etc.) to create completely virtualized containers without leaking system level cgroup hierarchy to the task. This patch only implements the 'unshare' part of the cgroupns.

2016-02-03proc: revert /proc/<pid>/maps [stack:TID] annotationJohannes Weiner
Commit b76437579d13 ("procfs: mark thread stack correctly in proc/<pid>/maps") added [stack:TID] annotation to /proc/<pid>/maps. Finding the task of a stack VMA requires walking the entire thread list, turning this into quadratic behavior: a thousand threads means a thousand stacks, so the rendering of /proc/<pid>/maps needs to look at a million combinations. The cost is not in proportion to the usefulness as described in the patch. Drop the [stack:TID] annotation to make /proc/<pid>/maps (and /proc/<pid>/numa_maps) usable again for higher thread counts. The [stack] annotation inside /proc/<pid>/task/<tid>/maps is retained, as identifying the stack VMA there is an O(1) operation. Siddesh said: "The end users needed a way to identify thread stacks programmatically and there wasn't a way to do that. I'm afraid I no longer remember (or have access to the resources that would aid my memory since I changed employers) the details of their requirement. However, I did do this on my own time because I thought it was an interesting project for me and nobody really gave any feedback then as to its utility, so as far as I am concerned you could roll back the main thread maps information since the information is available in the thread-specific files" Signed-off-by: Johannes Weiner <hannes@cmpxchg.org> Cc: "Kirill A.

2016-02-03numa: fix /proc/<pid>/numa_maps for hugetlbfs on s390Michael Holzheu
When working with hugetlbfs ptes (which are actually pmds) is not valid to directly use pte functions like pte_present() because the hardware bit layout of pmds and ptes can be different. This is the case on s390. Therefore we have to convert the hugetlbfs ptes first into a valid pte encoding with huge_ptep_get(). Currently the /proc/<pid>/numa_maps code uses hugetlbfs ptes without huge_ptep_get(). On s390 this leads to the following two problems: 1) The pte_present() function returns false (instead of true) for PROT_NONE hugetlb ptes. Therefore PROT_NONE vmas are missing completely in the "numa_maps" output. 2) The pte_dirty() function always returns false for all hugetlb ptes. Therefore these pages are reported as "mapped=xxx" instead of "dirty=xxx". Therefore use huge_ptep_get() to correctly convert the hugetlb ptes.

2016-01-20ptrace: use fsuid, fsgid, effective creds for fs access checksJann Horn
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).

2016-01-15mm, proc: adjust PSS calculationKirill A. Shutemov
The goal of this patchset is to make refcounting on THP pages cheaper with simpler semantics and allow the same THP compound page to be mapped with PMD and PTEs. This is required to get reasonable THP-pagecache implementation. With the new refcounting design it's much easier to protect against split_huge_page(): simple reference on a page will make you the deal. It makes gup_fast() implementation simpler and doesn't require special-case in futex code to handle tail THP pages. It should improve THP utilization over the system since splitting THP in one process doesn't necessary lead to splitting the page in all other processes have the page mapped. The patchset drastically lower complexity of get_page()/put_page() codepaths. I encourage people look on this code before-and-after to justify time budget on reviewing this patchset. This patch (of 37): With new refcounting all subpages of the compound page are not necessary have the same mapcount. We need to take into account mapcount of every sub-page. Signed-off-by: Kirill A.

2016-01-14mm: rework virtual memory accountingKonstantin Khlebnikov
When inspecting a vague code inside prctl(PR_SET_MM_MEM) call (which testing the RLIMIT_DATA value to figure out if we're allowed to assign new @start_brk, @brk, @start_data, @end_data from mm_struct) it's been commited that RLIMIT_DATA in a form it's implemented now doesn't do anything useful because most of user-space libraries use mmap() syscall for dynamic memory allocations. Linus suggested to convert RLIMIT_DATA rlimit into something suitable for anonymous memory accounting. But in this patch we go further, and the changes are bundled together as: * keep vma counting if CONFIG_PROC_FS=n, will be used for limits * replace mm->shared_vm with better defined mm->data_vm * account anonymous executable areas as executable * account file-backed growsdown/up areas as stack * drop struct file* argument from vm_stat_account * enforce RLIMIT_DATA for size of data areas This way code looks cleaner: now code/stack/data classification depends only on vm_flags state: VM_EXEC & ~VM_WRITE -> code (VmExe + VmLib in proc) VM_GROWSUP | VM_GROWSDOWN -> stack (VmStk) VM_WRITE & ~VM_SHARED & !stack -> data (VmData) The rest (VmSize - VmData - VmStk - VmExe - VmLib) could be called "shared", but that might be strange beast like readonly-private or VM_IO area. - RLIMIT_AS limits whole address space "VmSize" - RLIMIT_STACK limits stack "VmStk" (but each vma individually) - RLIMIT_DATA now limits "VmData" Signed-off-by: Konstantin Khlebnikov <koct9i@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Cyrill Gorcunov <gorcunov@openvz.org> Cc: Quentin Casasnovas <quentin.casasnovas@oracle.com> Cc: Vegard Nossum <vegard.nossum@oracle.com> Acked-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org> Cc: Willy Tarreau <w@1wt.eu> Cc: Andy Lutomirski <luto@amacapital.net> Cc: Kees Cook <keescook@google.com> Cc: Vladimir Davydov <vdavydov@virtuozzo.com> Cc: Pavel Emelyanov <xemul@virtuozzo.com> Cc: Peter Zijlstra <a.p.zijlstra@chello.nl> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

2016-01-14proc: meminfo: estimate available memory more conservativelyJohannes Weiner
The MemAvailable item in /proc/meminfo is to give users a hint of how much memory is allocatable without causing swapping, so it excludes the zones' low watermarks as unavailable to userspace. However, for a userspace allocation, kswapd will actually reclaim until the free pages hit a combination of the high watermark and the page allocator's lowmem protection that keeps a certain amount of DMA and DMA32 memory from userspace as well. Subtract the full amount we know to be unavailable to userspace from the number of free pages when calculating MemAvailable.

2016-01-14mm, procfs: breakdown RSS for anon, shmem and file in /proc/pid/statusJerome Marchand
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. Example (part of) /proc/pid/status output including the new Rss* fields: VmPeak: 2001008 kB VmSize: 2001004 kB VmLck: 0 kB VmPin: 0 kB VmHWM: 5108 kB VmRSS: 5108 kB RssAnon: 92 kB RssFile: 1324 kB RssShmem: 3692 kB VmData: 192 kB VmStk: 136 kB VmExe: 4 kB VmLib: 1784 kB VmPTE: 3928 kB VmPMD: 20 kB VmSwap: 0 kB HugetlbPages: 0 kB [vbabka@suse.cz: forward-porting, tweak changelog] Signed-off-by: Jerome Marchand <jmarchan@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Vlastimil Babka <vbabka@suse.cz> Acked-by: Konstantin Khlebnikov <khlebnikov@yandex-team.ru> Acked-by: Michal Hocko <mhocko@suse.com> Acked-by: Hugh Dickins <hughd@google.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
2016-01-14mm, shmem: add internal shmem resident memory accountingJerome Marchand
Currently looking at /proc/<pid>/status or statm, there is no way to distinguish shmem pages from pages mapped to a regular file (shmem pages are mapped to /dev/zero), even though their implication in actual memory use is quite different. The internal accounting currently counts shmem pages together with regular files. As a preparation to extend the userspace interfaces, this patch adds MM_SHMEMPAGES counter to mm_rss_stat to account for shmem pages separately from MM_FILEPAGES. The next patch will expose it to userspace - this patch doesn't change the exported values yet, by adding up MM_SHMEMPAGES to MM_FILEPAGES at places where MM_FILEPAGES was used before. The only user-visible change after this patch is the OOM killer message that separates the reported "shmem-rss" from "file-rss".

2016-01-14mm, proc: reduce cost of /proc/pid/smaps for unpopulated shmem mappingsVlastimil Babka
Following the previous patch, further reduction of /proc/pid/smaps cost is possible for private writable shmem mappings with unpopulated areas where the page walk invokes the .pte_hole function. We can use radix tree iterator for each such area instead of calling find_get_entry() in a loop. This is possible at the extra maintenance cost of introducing another shmem function shmem_partial_swap_usage(). To demonstrate the diference, I have measured this on a process that creates a private writable 2GB mapping of a partially swapped out /dev/shm/file (which cannot employ the optimizations from the prvious patch) and doesn't populate it at all. I time how long does it take to cat /proc/pid/smaps of this process 100 times. Before this patch: real 0m3.831s user 0m0.180s sys 0m3.212s After this patch: real 0m1.176s user 0m0.180s sys 0m0.684s The time is similar to the case where a radix tree iterator is employed on the whole mapping.

2016-01-14mm, proc: reduce cost of /proc/pid/smaps for shmem mappingsVlastimil Babka
The previous patch has improved swap accounting for shmem mapping, which however made /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)). We can reduce this significantly for mappings that cannot contain COWed pages, because then we can either use the statistics tha shmem object itself tracks (if the mapping contains the whole object, or the swap usage of the whole object is zero), or use the radix tree iterator, which is much more effective than repeated find_get_entry() calls. This patch therefore introduces a function shmem_swap_usage(vma) and makes /proc/pid/smaps use it when possible. Only for writable private mappings of shmem objects (i.e. tmpfs files) with the shmem object itself (partially) swapped outwe have to resort to the find_get_entry() approach. Hopefully such mappings are relatively uncommon. To demonstrate the diference, 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 writable mapping of a /dev/shm/file (the most complex case): real 0m3.831s user 0m0.180s sys 0m3.212s Shared mapping of an almost full mapping of a partially swapped /dev/shm/file (which needs to employ the radix tree iterator). real 0m1.351s user 0m0.096s sys 0m0.768s Same, but with /dev/shm/file not swapped (so no radix tree walk needed) real 0m0.935s user 0m0.128s sys 0m0.344s Private anonymous mapping: real 0m0.949s user 0m0.116s sys 0m0.348s The cost is now much closer to the private anonymous mapping case, unless the shmem mapping is private and writable.

2016-01-14mm, proc: account for shmem swap in /proc/pid/smapsVlastimil Babka
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.

2016-01-14kmemcg: account certain kmem allocations to memcgVladimir Davydov
Mark those kmem allocations that are known to be easily triggered from userspace as __GFP_ACCOUNT/SLAB_ACCOUNT, which makes them accounted to memcg. For the list, see below: - 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 is the most tedious part, because most filesystems overwrite the alloc_inode method. The list is far from complete, so feel free to add more objects. Nevertheless, it should be close to "account everything" approach and keep most workloads within bounds. Malevolent users will be able to breach the limit, but this was possible even with the former "account everything" approach (simply because it did not account everything in fact).
