2019-09-24arm64, mm: move generic mmap layout functions to mmAlexandre Ghiti
arm64 handles top-down mmap layout in a way that can be easily reused by other architectures, so make it available in mm. It then introduces a new config ARCH_WANT_DEFAULT_TOPDOWN_MMAP_LAYOUT that can be set by other architectures to benefit from those functions. Note that this new config depends on MMU being enabled, if selected without MMU support, a warning will be thrown.

2019-07-18proc/sysctl: add shared variables for range checkMatteo Croce
In the sysctl code the proc_dointvec_minmax() function is often used to validate the user supplied value between an allowed range. This function uses the extra1 and extra2 members from struct ctl_table as minimum and maximum allowed value. On sysctl handler declaration, in every source file there are some readonly variables containing just an integer which address is assigned to the extra1 and extra2 members, so the sysctl range is enforced. The special values 0, 1 and INT_MAX are very often used as range boundary, leading duplication of variables like zero=0, one=1, int_max=INT_MAX in different source files: $ git grep -E '\.extra[12].*&(zero|one|int_max)' |wc -l 248 Add a const int array containing the most commonly used values, some macros to refer more easily to the correct array member, and use them instead of creating a local one for every object file.

2019-06-24sched/uclamp: Add system default clampsPatrick Bellasi
Tasks without a user-defined clamp value are considered not clamped and by default their utilization can have any value in the [0..SCHED_CAPACITY_SCALE] range. Tasks with a user-defined clamp value are allowed to request any value in that range, and the required clamp is unconditionally enforced. However, a "System Management Software" could be interested in limiting the range of clamp values allowed for all tasks. Add a privileged interface to define a system default configuration via: /proc/sys/kernel/sched_uclamp_util_{min,max} which works as an unconditional clamp range restriction for all tasks. With the default configuration, the full SCHED_CAPACITY_SCALE range of values is allowed for each clamp index. Otherwise, the task-specific clamp is capped by the corresponding system default value. Do that by tracking, for each task, the "effective" clamp value and bucket the task has been refcounted in at enqueue time. This allows to lazy aggregate "requested" and "system default" values at enqueue time and simplifies refcounting updates at dequeue time. The cached bucket ids are used to avoid (relatively) more expensive integer divisions every time a task is enqueued. An active flag is used to report when the "effective" value is valid and thus the task is actually refcounted in the corresponding rq's bucket.

2019-05-14kernel/sysctl.c: fix proc_do_large_bitmap for large input buffersEric Sandeen
Today, proc_do_large_bitmap() truncates a large write input buffer to PAGE_SIZE - 1, which may result in misparsed numbers at the (truncated) end of the buffer. Further, it fails to notify the caller that the buffer was truncated, so it doesn't get called iteratively to finish the entire input buffer. Tell the caller if there's more work to do by adding the skipped amount back to left/*lenp before returning. To fix the misparsing, reset the position if we have completely consumed a truncated buffer (or if just one char is left, which may be a "-" in a range), and ask the caller to come back for more.

2019-05-14userfaultfd/sysctl: add vm.unprivileged_userfaultfdPeter Xu
Userfaultfd can be misued to make it easier to exploit existing use-after-free (and similar) bugs that might otherwise only make a short window or race condition available. By using userfaultfd to stall a kernel thread, a malicious program can keep some state that it wrote, stable for an extended period, which it can then access using an existing exploit. While it doesn't cause the exploit itself, and while it's not the only thing that can stall a kernel thread when accessing a memory location, it's one of the few that never needs privilege. We can add a flag, allowing userfaultfd to be restricted, so that in general it won't be useable by arbitrary user programs, but in environments that require userfaultfd it can be turned back on. Add a global sysctl knob "vm.unprivileged_userfaultfd" to control whether userfaultfd is allowed by unprivileged users. When this is set to zero, only privileged users (root user, or users with the CAP_SYS_PTRACE capability) will be able to use the userfaultfd syscalls. Andrea said: : The only difference between the bpf sysctl and the userfaultfd sysctl : this way is that the bpf sysctl adds the CAP_SYS_ADMIN capability : requirement, while userfaultfd adds the CAP_SYS_PTRACE requirement, : because the userfaultfd monitor is more likely to need CAP_SYS_PTRACE : already if it's doing other kind of tracking on processes runtime, in : addition of userfaultfd. In other words both syscalls works only for : root, when the two sysctl are opt-in set to 1.

2019-04-18ipv6: Add rate limit mask for ICMPv6 messagesStephen Suryaputra
To make ICMPv6 closer to ICMPv4, add ratemask parameter. Since the ICMP message types use larger numeric values, a simple bitmask doesn't fit. I use large bitmap. The input and output are the in form of list of ranges. Set the default to rate limit all error messages but Packet Too Big. For Packet Too Big, use ratemask instead of hard-coded. There are functions where icmpv6_xrlim_allow() and icmpv6_global_allow() aren't called. This patch only adds them to icmpv6_echo_reply(). Rate limiting error messages is mandated by RFC 4443 but RFC 4890 says that it is also acceptable to rate limit informational messages. Thus, I removed the current hard-coded behavior of icmpv6_mask_allow() that doesn't rate limit informational messages. v2: Add dummy function proc_do_large_bitmap() if CONFIG_PROC_SYSCTL isn't defined, expand the description in ip-sysctl.txt and remove unnecessary conditional before kfree(). v3: Inline the bitmap instead of dynamically allocated. Still is a pointer to it is needed because of the way proc_do_large_bitmap work. Signed-off-by: Stephen Suryaputra <ssuryaextr@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2019-04-05kernel/sysctl.c: fix out-of-bounds access when setting file-maxWill Deacon

Unfortunately, the minimum value points at the global 'zero' variable, which is an int.

2019-03-07sysctl: handle overflow for file-maxChristian Brauner
Currently, when writing echo 18446744073709551616 > /proc/sys/fs/file-max /proc/sys/fs/file-max will overflow and be set to 0. That quickly crashes the system. This commit sets the max and min value for file-max. The max value is set to long int. Any higher value cannot currently be used as the percpu counters are long ints and not unsigned integers. Note that the file-max value is ultimately parsed via __do_proc_doulongvec_minmax(). This function does not report error when min or max are exceeded. Which means if a value largen that long int is written userspace will not receive an error instead the old value will be kept. There is an argument to be made that this should be changed and __do_proc_doulongvec_minmax() should return an error when a dedicated min or max value are exceeded. However this has the potential to break userspace so let's defer this to an RFC patch.

2019-03-07sysctl: handle overflow in proc_get_longChristian Brauner
proc_get_long() is a funny function. It uses simple_strtoul() and for a good reason. proc_get_long() wants to always succeed the parse and return the maybe incorrect value and the trailing characters to check against a pre-defined list of acceptable trailing values. However, simple_strtoul() explicitly ignores overflows which can cause funny things like the following to happen: echo 18446744073709551616 > /proc/sys/fs/file-max cat /proc/sys/fs/file-max 0 (Which will cause your system to silently die behind your back.) On the other hand kstrtoul() does do overflow detection but does not return the trailing characters, and also fails the parse when anything other than '\n' is a trailing character whereas proc_get_long() wants to be more lenient. Now, before adding another kstrtoul() function let's simply add a static parse strtoul_lenient() which: - fails on overflow with -ERANGE - returns the trailing characters to the caller The reason why we should fail on ERANGE is that we already do a partial fail on overflow right now. Namely, when the TMPBUFLEN is exceeded. So we already reject values such as 184467440737095516160 (21 chars) but accept values such as 18446744073709551616 (20 chars) but both are overflows. So we should just always reject 64bit overflows and not special-case this based on the number of chars.

2019-02-27bpf: enable program statsAlexei Starovoitov
JITed BPF programs are indistinguishable from kernel functions, but unlike kernel code BPF code can be changed often. Typical approach of "perf record" + "perf report" profiling and tuning of kernel code works just as well for BPF programs, but kernel code doesn't need to be monitored whereas BPF programs do. Users load and run large amount of BPF programs. These BPF stats allow tools monitor the usage of BPF on the server. The monitoring tools will turn sysctl kernel.bpf_stats_enabled on and off for few seconds to sample average cost of the programs. Aggregated data over hours and days will provide an insight into cost of BPF and alarms can trigger in case given program suddenly gets more expensive. The cost of two sched_clock() per program invocation adds ~20 nsec. Fast BPF progs (like selftests/bpf/progs/test_pkt_access.c) will slow down from ~10 nsec to ~30 nsec. static_key minimizes the cost of the stats collection.

2019-01-27sched/topology: Introduce a sysctl for Energy Aware SchedulingQuentin Perret
In its current state, Energy Aware Scheduling (EAS) starts automatically on asymmetric platforms having an Energy Model (EM). However, there are users who want to have an EM (for thermal management for example), but don't want EAS with it. In order to let users disable EAS explicitly, introduce a new sysctl called 'sched_energy_aware'. It is enabled by default so that EAS can start automatically on platforms where it makes sense. Flipping it to 0 rebuilds the scheduling domains and disables EAS.

2019-01-04proc/sysctl: fix return error for proc_doulongvec_minmax()Cheng Lin
If the number of input parameters is less than the total parameters, an EINVAL error will be returned. For example, we use proc_doulongvec_minmax to pass up to two parameters with kern_table: { .procname = "monitor_signals", .data = &monitor_sigs, .maxlen = 2*sizeof(unsigned long), .mode = 0644, .proc_handler = proc_doulongvec_minmax, }, Reproduce: When passing two parameters, it's work normal. But passing only one parameter, an error "Invalid argument"(EINVAL) is returned. [root@cl150 ~]# echo 1 2 > /proc/sys/kernel/monitor_signals [root@cl150 ~]# cat /proc/sys/kernel/monitor_signals 1 2 [root@cl150 ~]# echo 3 > /proc/sys/kernel/monitor_signals -bash: echo: write error: Invalid argument [root@cl150 ~]# echo $? 1 [root@cl150 ~]# cat /proc/sys/kernel/monitor_signals 3 2 [root@cl150 ~]# The following is the result after apply this patch. No error is returned when the number of input parameters is less than the total parameters. [root@cl150 ~]# echo 1 2 > /proc/sys/kernel/monitor_signals [root@cl150 ~]# cat /proc/sys/kernel/monitor_signals 1 2 [root@cl150 ~]# echo 3 > /proc/sys/kernel/monitor_signals [root@cl150 ~]# echo $? 0 [root@cl150 ~]# cat /proc/sys/kernel/monitor_signals 3 2 [root@cl150 ~]# There are three processing functions dealing with digital parameters, __do_proc_dointvec/__do_proc_douintvec/__do_proc_doulongvec_minmax. This patch deals with __do_proc_doulongvec_minmax, just as __do_proc_dointvec does, adding a check for parameters 'left'. In __do_proc_douintvec, its code implementation explicitly does not support multiple inputs. static int __do_proc_douintvec(...){ ... /* * Arrays are not supported, keep this simple. *Do not* add * support for them. */ if (vleft != 1) { *lenp = 0; return -EINVAL; } ... } So, just __do_proc_doulongvec_minmax has the problem. And most use of proc_doulongvec_minmax/proc_doulongvec_ms_jiffies_minmax just have one parameter.

2018-12-28mm: reclaim small amounts of memory when an external fragmentation event occursMel Gorman
An external fragmentation event was previously described as When the page allocator fragments memory, it records the event using the mm_page_alloc_extfrag event. If the fallback_order is smaller than a pageblock order (order-9 on 64-bit x86) then it's considered an event that will cause external fragmentation issues in the future. The kernel reduces the probability of such events by increasing the watermark sizes by calling set_recommended_min_free_kbytes early in the lifetime of the system. This works reasonably well in general but if there are enough sparsely populated pageblocks then the problem can still occur as enough memory is free overall and kswapd stays asleep. This patch introduces a watermark_boost_factor sysctl that allows a zone watermark to be temporarily boosted when an external fragmentation causing events occurs. The boosting will stall allocations that would decrease free memory below the boosted low watermark and kswapd is woken if the calling context allows to reclaim an amount of memory relative to the size of the high watermark and the watermark_boost_factor until the boost is cleared. When kswapd finishes, it wakes kcompactd at the pageblock order to clean some of the pageblocks that may have been affected by the fragmentation event. kswapd avoids any writeback, slab shrinkage and swap from reclaim context during this operation to avoid excessive system disruption in the name of fragmentation avoidance. Care is taken so that kswapd will do normal reclaim work if the system is really low on memory. This was evaluated using the same workloads as "mm, page_alloc: Spread allocations across zones before introducing fragmentation". 1-socket Skylake machine config-global-dhp__workload_thpfioscale XFS (no special madvise) 4 fio threads, 1 THP allocating thread -------------------------------------- 4.20-rc3 extfrag events < order 9: 804694 4.20-rc3+patch: 408912 (49% reduction) 4.20-rc3+patch1-4: 18421 (98% reduction) 4.20.0-rc3 4.20.0-rc3 lowzone-v5r8 boost-v5r8 Amean fault-base-1 653.58 ( 0.00%) 652.71 ( 0.13%) Amean fault-huge-1 0.00 ( 0.00%) 178.93 * -99.00%* 4.20.0-rc3 4.20.0-rc3 lowzone-v5r8 boost-v5r8 Percentage huge-1 0.00 ( 0.00%) 5.12 ( 100.00%) Note that external fragmentation causing events are massively reduced by this path whether in comparison to the previous kernel or the vanilla kernel.

2018-08-23namei: allow restricted O_CREAT of FIFOs and regular filesSalvatore Mesoraca
Disallows open of FIFOs or regular files not owned by the user in world writable sticky directories, unless the owner is the same as that of the directory or the file is opened without the O_CREAT flag. The purpose is to make data spoofing attacks harder. This protection can be turned on and off separately for FIFOs and regular files via sysctl, just like the symlinks/hardlinks protection. This patch is based on Openwall's "HARDEN_FIFO" feature by Solar Designer. This is a brief list of old vulnerabilities that could have been prevented by this feature, some of them even allow for privilege escalation: CVE-2000-1134 CVE-2007-3852 CVE-2008-0525 CVE-2009-0416 CVE-2011-4834 CVE-2015-1838 CVE-2015-7442 CVE-2016-7489 This list is not meant to be complete. It's difficult to track down all vulnerabilities of this kind because they were often reported without any mention of this particular attack vector. In fact, before hardlinks/symlinks restrictions, fifos/regular files weren't the favorite vehicle to exploit them.

2018-08-22kernel/hung_task.c: allow to set checking interval separately from timeoutDmitry Vyukov
Currently task hung checking interval is equal to timeout, as the result hung is detected anywhere between timeout and 2*timeout. This is fine for most interactive environments, but this hurts automated testing setups (syzbot). In an automated setup we need to strictly order CPU lockup < RCU stall < workqueue lockup < task hung < silent loss, so that RCU stall is not detected as task hung and task hung is not detected as silent machine loss. The large variance in task hung detection timeout requires setting silent machine loss timeout to a very large value (e.g. if task hung is 3 mins, then silent loss need to be set to ~7 mins). The additional 3 minutes significantly reduce testing efficiency because usually we crash kernel within a minute, and this can add hours to bug localization process as it needs to do dozens of tests. Allow setting checking interval separately from timeout. This allows to set timeout to, say, 3 minutes, but checking interval to 10 secs. The interval is controlled via a new hung_task_check_interval_secs sysctl, similar to the existing hung_task_timeout_secs sysctl. The default value of 0 results in the current behavior: checking interval is equal to timeout.

2018-06-12treewide: kzalloc() -> kcalloc()Kees Cook
The kzalloc() function has a 2-factor argument form, kcalloc(). This patch replaces cases of: kzalloc(a * b, gfp) with: kcalloc(a * b, gfp) as well as handling cases of: kzalloc(a * b * c, gfp) with: kzalloc(array3_size(a, b, c), gfp) as it's slightly less ugly than: kzalloc_array(array_size(a, b), c, gfp) This does, however, attempt to ignore constant size factors like: kzalloc(4 * 1024, gfp) though any constants defined via macros get caught up in the conversion. Any factors with a sizeof() of "unsigned char", "char", and "u8" were dropped, since they're redundant. The Coccinelle script used for this was: // Fix redundant parens around sizeof(). @@ type TYPE; expression THING, E; @@ ( kzalloc( - (sizeof(TYPE)) * E + sizeof(TYPE) * E , ...) | kzalloc( - (sizeof(THING)) * E + sizeof(THING) * E , ...) ) // Drop single-byte sizes and redundant parens. @@ expression COUNT;

2018-03-20firmware: enable run time change of forcing fallback loaderLuis R. Rodriguez
Currently one requires to test four kernel configurations to test the firmware API completely: 0) CONFIG_FW_LOADER=y 1) o CONFIG_FW_LOADER=y o CONFIG_FW_LOADER_USER_HELPER=y 2) o CONFIG_FW_LOADER=y o CONFIG_FW_LOADER_USER_HELPER=y o CONFIG_FW_LOADER_USER_HELPER_FALLBACK=y 3) When CONFIG_FW_LOADER=m the built-in stuff is disabled, we have no current tests for this. We can reduce the requirements to three kernel configurations by making fw_config.force_sysfs_fallback a proc knob we flip on off. For kernels that disable CONFIG_IKCONFIG_PROC this can also enable one to inspect if CONFIG_FW_LOADER_USER_HELPER_FALLBACK was enabled at build time by checking the proc value at boot time.

2018-02-06pipe: reject F_SETPIPE_SZ with size over UINT_MAXEric Biggers
A pipe's size is represented as an 'unsigned int'. As expected, writing a value greater than UINT_MAX to /proc/sys/fs/pipe-max-size fails with EINVAL. However, the F_SETPIPE_SZ fcntl silently truncates such values to 32 bits, rather than failing with EINVAL as expected. (It *does* fail with EINVAL for values above (1 << 31) but <= UINT_MAX.) Fix this by moving the check against UINT_MAX into round_pipe_size() which is called in both cases.

2018-02-06pipe, sysctl: remove pipe_proc_fn()Eric Biggers
pipe_proc_fn() is no longer needed, as it only calls through to proc_dopipe_max_size(). Just put proc_dopipe_max_size() in the ctl_table entry directly, and remove the unneeded EXPORT_SYMBOL() and the ENOSYS stub for it. (The reason the ENOSYS stub isn't needed is that the pipe-max-size ctl_table entry is located directly in 'kern_table' rather than being registered separately. Therefore, the entry is already only defined when the kernel is built with sysctl support.)

2018-02-06pipe, sysctl: drop 'min' parameter from pipe-max-size converterEric Biggers
Patch series "pipe: buffer limits fixes and cleanups", v2. This series simplifies the sysctl handler for pipe-max-size and fixes another set of bugs related to the pipe buffer limits: - The root user wasn't allowed to exceed the limits when creating new pipes. - There was an off-by-one error when checking the limits, so a limit of N was actually treated as N - 1. - F_SETPIPE_SZ accepted values over UINT_MAX. - Reading the pipe buffer limits could be racy. This patch (of 7): Before validating the given value against pipe_min_size, do_proc_dopipe_max_size_conv() calls round_pipe_size(), which rounds the value up to pipe_min_size. Therefore, the second check against pipe_min_size is redundant. Remove it.

2018-01-31mm, hugetlb: remove hugepages_treat_as_movable sysctlMichal Hocko
hugepages_treat_as_movable has been introduced by 396faf0303d2 ("Allow huge page allocations to use GFP_HIGH_MOVABLE") to allow hugetlb allocations from ZONE_MOVABLE even when hugetlb pages were not migrateable. The purpose of the movable zone was different at the time. It aimed at reducing memory fragmentation and hugetlb pages being long lived and large werre not contributing to the fragmentation so it was acceptable to use the zone back then. Things have changed though and the primary purpose of the zone became migratability guarantee. If we allow non migrateable hugetlb pages to be in ZONE_MOVABLE memory hotplug might fail to offline the memory. Remove the knob and only rely on hugepage_migration_supported to allow movable zones. Mel said: : Primarily it was aimed at allowing the hugetlb pool to safely shrink with : the ability to grow it again. The use case was for batched jobs, some of : which needed huge pages and others that did not but didn't want the memory : useless pinned in the huge pages pool. : : I suspect that more users rely on THP than hugetlbfs for flexible use of : huge pages with fallback options so I think that removing the option : should be ok.

2017-11-17sysctl: check for UINT_MAX before unsigned int min/maxJoe Lawrence
Mikulas noticed in the existing do_proc_douintvec_minmax_conv() and do_proc_dopipe_max_size_conv() introduced in this patchset, that they inconsistently handle overflow and min/max range inputs: For example: 0 ... param->min - 1 ---> ERANGE param->min ... param->max ---> the value is accepted param->max + 1 ... 0x100000000L + param->min - 1 ---> ERANGE 0x100000000L + param->min ... 0x100000000L + param->max ---> EINVAL 0x100000000L + param->max + 1, 0x200000000L + param->min - 1 ---> ERANGE 0x200000000L + param->min ... 0x200000000L + param->max ---> EINVAL 0x200000000L + param->max + 1, 0x300000000L + param->min - 1 ---> ERANGE In do_proc_do*() routines which store values into unsigned int variables (4 bytes wide for 64-bit builds), first validate that the input unsigned long value (8 bytes wide for 64-bit builds) will fit inside the smaller unsigned int variable. Then check that the unsigned int value falls inside the specified parameter min, max range. Otherwise the unsigned long -> unsigned int conversion drops leading bits from the input value, leading to the inconsistent pattern Mikulas documented above.

2017-11-17pipe: add proc_dopipe_max_size() to safely assign pipe_max_sizeJoe Lawrence
pipe_max_size is assigned directly via procfs sysctl: static struct ctl_table fs_table[] = { ... { .procname = "pipe-max-size", .data = &pipe_max_size, .maxlen = sizeof(int), .mode = 0644, .proc_handler = &pipe_proc_fn, .extra1 = &pipe_min_size, }, ... int pipe_proc_fn(struct ctl_table *table, int write, void __user *buf, size_t *lenp, loff_t *ppos) { ... ret = proc_dointvec_minmax(table, write, buf, lenp, ppos) ... and then later rounded in-place a few statements later: ... pipe_max_size = round_pipe_size(pipe_max_size); ... This leaves a window of time between initial assignment and rounding that may be visible to other threads. (For example, one thread sets a non-rounded value to pipe_max_size while another reads its value.) Similar reads of pipe_max_size are potentially racy: pipe.c :: alloc_pipe_info() pipe.c :: pipe_set_size() Add a new proc_dopipe_max_size() that consolidates reading the new value from the user buffer, verifying bounds, and calling round_pipe_size() with a single assignment to pipe_max_size.

2017-11-17pipe: match pipe_max_size data type with procfsJoe Lawrence
Patch series "A few round_pipe_size() and pipe-max-size fixups", v3. While backporting Michael's "pipe: fix limit handling" patchset to a distro-kernel, Mikulas noticed that current upstream pipe limit handling contains a few problems: 1 - procfs signed wrap: echo'ing a large number into /proc/sys/fs/pipe-max-size and then cat'ing it back out shows a negative value. 2 - round_pipe_size() nr_pages overflow on 32bit: this would subsequently try roundup_pow_of_two(0), which is undefined. 3 - visible non-rounded pipe-max-size value: there is no mutual exclusion or protection between the time pipe_max_size is assigned a raw value from proc_dointvec_minmax() and when it is rounded. 4 - unsigned long -> unsigned int conversion makes for potential odd return errors from do_proc_douintvec_minmax_conv() and do_proc_dopipe_max_size_conv(). This version underwent the same testing as v1: https://marc.info/?l=linux-kernel&m=150643571406022&w=2 This patch (of 4): pipe_max_size is defined as an unsigned int: unsigned int pipe_max_size = 1048576; but its procfs/sysctl representation is an integer: static struct ctl_table fs_table[] = { ... { .procname = "pipe-max-size", .data = &pipe_max_size, .maxlen = sizeof(int), .mode = 0644, .proc_handler = &pipe_proc_fn, .extra1 = &pipe_min_size, }, ... that is signed: int pipe_proc_fn(struct ctl_table *table, int write, void __user *buf, size_t *lenp, loff_t *ppos) { ... ret = proc_dointvec_minmax(table, write, buf, lenp, ppos) This leads to signed results via procfs for large values of pipe_max_size: % echo 2147483647 >/proc/sys/fs/pipe-max-size % cat /proc/sys/fs/pipe-max-size -2147483648 Use unsigned operations on this variable to avoid such negative values.

2017-11-15mm, sysctl: make NUMA stats configurableKemi Wang
This is the second step which introduces a tunable interface that allow numa stats configurable for optimizing zone_statistics(), as suggested by Dave Hansen and Ying Huang. ========================================================================= When page allocation performance becomes a bottleneck and you can tolerate some possible tool breakage and decreased numa counter precision, you can do: echo 0 > /proc/sys/vm/numa_stat In this case, numa counter update is ignored. We can see about *4.8%*(185->176) drop of cpu cycles per single page allocation and reclaim on Jesper's page_bench01 (single thread) and *8.1%*(343->315) drop of cpu cycles per single page allocation and reclaim on Jesper's page_bench03 (88 threads) running on a 2-Socket Broadwell-based server (88 threads, 126G memory). Benchmark link provided by Jesper D Brouer (increase loop times to 10000000): https://github.com/netoptimizer/prototype-kernel/tree/master/kernel/mm/bench ========================================================================= When page allocation performance is not a bottleneck and you want all tooling to work, you can do: echo 1 > /proc/sys/vm/numa_stat This is system default setting.

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip Pull watchddog clean-up and fixes from Thomas Gleixner: "The watchdog (hard/softlockup detector) code is pretty much broken in its current state. The patch series addresses this by removing all duct tape and refactoring it into a workable state. The reasons why I ask for inclusion that late in the cycle are: 1) The code causes lockdep splats vs. hotplug locking which get reported over and over. Unfortunately there is no easy fix. 2) The risk of breakage is minimal because it's already broken 3) As 4.14 is a long term stable kernel, I prefer to have working watchdog code in that and the lockdep issues resolved. I wouldn't ask you to pull if 4.14 wouldn't be a LTS kernel or if the solution would be easy to backport. 4) The series was around before the merge window opened, but then got delayed due to the UP failure caused by the for_each_cpu() surprise which we discussed recently. Changes vs. V1: - Addressed your review points - Addressed the warning in the powerpc code which was discovered late - Changed two function names which made sense up to a certain point in the series. Now they match what they do in the end. - Fixed a 'unused variable' warning, which got not detected by the intel robot. I triggered it when trying all possible related config combinations manually. Randconfig testing seems not random enough. The changes have been tested by and reviewed by Don Zickus and tested and acked by Micheal Ellerman for powerpc" * 'core-watchdog-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip: (36 commits) watchdog/core: Put softlockup_threads_initialized under ifdef guard watchdog/core: Rename some softlockup_* functions powerpc/watchdog: Make use of watchdog_nmi_probe() watchdog/core, powerpc: Lock cpus across reconfiguration watchdog/core, powerpc: Replace watchdog_nmi_reconfigure() watchdog/hardlockup/perf: Fix spelling mistake: "permanetely" -> "permanently" watchdog/hardlockup/perf: Cure UP damage watchdog/hardlockup: Clean up hotplug locking mess watchdog/hardlockup/perf: Simplify deferred event destroy watchdog/hardlockup/perf: Use new perf CPU enable mechanism watchdog/hardlockup/perf: Implement CPU enable replacement watchdog/hardlockup/perf: Implement init time detection of perf watchdog/hardlockup/perf: Implement init time perf validation watchdog/core: Get rid of the racy update loop watchdog/core, powerpc: Make watchdog_nmi_reconfigure() two stage watchdog/sysctl: Clean up sysctl variable name space watchdog/sysctl: Get rid of the #ifdeffery watchdog/core: Clean up header mess watchdog/core: Further simplify sysctl handling watchdog/core: Get rid of the thread teardown/setup dance ...
