With new refcounting we will be able map the same compound page with
PTEs and PMDs. It requires adjustment to conditions when we can reuse
the page on write-protection fault.
For PTE fault we can't reuse the page if it's part of huge page.
For PMD we can only reuse the page if nobody else maps the huge page or
it's part. We can do it by checking page_mapcount() on each sub-page,
but it's expensive.
The cheaper way is to check page_count() to be equal 1: every mapcount
takes page reference, so this way we can guarantee, that the PMD is the
only mapping.
This approach can give false negative if somebody pinned the page, but
that doesn't affect correctness.

As with rmap, with new refcounting we cannot rely on PageTransHuge() to
check if we need to charge size of huge page form the cgroup. We need
to get information from caller to know whether it was mapped with PMD or
PTE.
We do uncharge when last reference on the page gone. At that point if
we see PageTransHuge() it means we need to unchange whole huge page.
The tricky part is partial unmap -- when we try to unmap part of huge
page. We don't do a special handing of this situation, meaning we don't
uncharge the part of huge page unless last user is gone or
split_huge_page() is triggered. In case of cgroup memory pressure
happens the partial unmapped page will be split through shrinker. This
should be good enough.

We're going to allow mapping of individual 4k pages of THP compound
page. It means we cannot rely on PageTransHuge() check to decide if
map/unmap small page or THP.
The patch adds new argument to rmap functions to indicate whether we
want to operate on whole compound page or only the small page.

We don't define meaning of page->mapping for tail pages. Currently it's
always NULL, which can be inconsistent with head page and potentially
lead to problems.
Let's poison the pointer to catch all illigal uses.
page_rmapping(), page_mapping() and page_anon_vma() are changed to look
on head page.
The only illegal use I've caught so far is __GPF_COMP pages from sound
subsystem, mapped with PTEs. do_shared_fault() is changed to use
page_rmapping() instead of direct access to fault_page->mapping.

lock_page() must operate on the whole compound page. It doesn't make
much sense to lock part of compound page. Change code to use head
page's PG_locked, if tail page is passed.
This patch also gets rid of custom helper functions --
__set_page_locked() and __clear_page_locked(). They are replaced with
helpers generated by __SETPAGEFLAG/__CLEARPAGEFLAG. Tail pages to these
helper would trigger VM_BUG_ON().
SLUB uses PG_locked as a bit spin locked. IIUC, tail pages should never
appear there. VM_BUG_ON() is added to make sure that this assumption is
correct.

This patch series makes swapin readahead up to a certain number to gain
more thp performance and adds tracepoint for khugepaged_scan_pmd,
collapse_huge_page, __collapse_huge_page_isolate.
This patch series was written to deal with programs that access most,
but not all, of their memory after they get swapped out. Currently
these programs do not get their memory collapsed into THPs after the
system swapped their memory out, while they would get THPs before
swapping happened.
This patch series was tested with a test program, it allocates 400MB of
memory, writes to it, and then sleeps. I force the system to swap out
all. Afterwards, the test program touches the area by writing and
leaves a piece of it without writing. This shows how much swap in
readahead made by the patch.

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"

The Kconfig currently controlling compilation of this code is:
config HUGETLBFS
bool "HugeTLB file system support"
...meaning that it currently is not being built as a module by anyone.
Lets remove the modular code that is essentially orphaned, so that when
reading the driver there is no doubt it is builtin-only.
Since module_init translates to device_initcall in the non-modular case,
the init ordering gets moved to earlier levels when we use the more
appropriate initcalls here.
Originally I had the fs part and the mm part as separate commits, just
by happenstance of the nature of how I detected these non-modular use
cases. But that can possibly introduce regressions if the patch merge
ordering puts the fs part 1st -- as the 0-day testing reported a splat
at mount time.
Investigating with "initcall_debug" showed that the delta was
init_hugetlbfs_fs being called _before_ hugetlb_init instead of after. So
both the fs change and the mm change are here together.
In addition, it worked before due to luck of link order, since they were
both in the same initcall category. So we now have the fs part using
fs_initcall, and the mm part using subsys_initcall, which puts it one
bucket earlier. It now passes the basic sanity test that failed in
earlier 0-day testing.
We delete the MODULE_LICENSE tag and capture that information at the top
of the file alongside author comments, etc.
We don't replace module.h with init.h since the file already has that.
Also note that MODULE_ALIAS is a no-op for non-modular code.

Let the networking stack know when a memcg is under reclaim pressure so
that it can clamp its transmit windows accordingly.
Whenever the reclaim efficiency of a cgroup's LRU lists drops low enough
for a MEDIUM or HIGH vmpressure event to occur, assert a pressure state
in the socket and tcp memory code that tells it to curb consumption
growth from sockets associated with said control group.
Traditionally, vmpressure reports for the entire subtree of a memcg
under pressure, which drops useful information on the individual groups
reclaimed. However, it's too late to change the userinterface, so add a
second reporting mode that reports on the level of reclaim instead of at
the level of pressure, and use that report for sockets.
vmpressure events are naturally edge triggered, so for hysteresis assert
socket pressure for a second to allow for subsequent vmpressure events
to occur before letting the socket code return to normal.
This will likely need finetuning for a wider variety of workloads, but
for now stick to the vmpressure presets and keep hysteresis simple.

Socket memory can be a significant share of overall memory consumed by
common workloads. In order to provide reasonable resource isolation in
the unified hierarchy, this type of memory needs to be included in the
tracking/accounting of a cgroup under active memory resource control.
Overhead is only incurred when a non-root control group is created AND
the memory controller is instructed to track and account the memory
footprint of that group. cgroup.memory=nosocket can be specified on the
boot commandline to override any runtime configuration and forcibly
exclude socket memory from active memory resource control.

paths right now, including the per-cpu charge cache ("the stock").
To avoid adding yet more pointless memory+swap accounting with the
socket memory support in unified hierarchy, disable the counter
altogether when in unified hierarchy mode.

There won't be a tcp control soft limit, so integrating the memcg code
into the global skmem limiting scheme complicates things unnecessarily.
Replace this with simple and clear charge and uncharge calls--hidden
behind a jump label--to account skb memory.
Note that this is not purely aesthetic: as a result of shoehorning the
per-memcg code into the same memory accounting functions that handle the
global level, the old code would compare the per-memcg consumption
against the smaller of the per-memcg limit and the global limit. This
allowed the total consumption of multiple sockets to exceed the global
limit, as long as the individual sockets stayed within bounds. After
this change, the code will always compare the per-memcg consumption to
the per-memcg limit, and the global consumption to the global limit, and
thus close this loophole.
Without a soft limit, the per-memcg memory pressure state in sockets is
generally questionable. However, we did it until now, so we continue to
enter it when the hard limit is hit, and packets are dropped, to let
other sockets in the cgroup know that they shouldn't grow their transmit
windows, either. However, keep it simple in the new callback model and
leave memory pressure lazily when the next packet is accepted (as
opposed to doing it synchroneously when packets are processed). When
packets are dropped, network performance will already be in the toilet,
so that should be a reasonable trade-off.
As described above, consumption is now checked on the per-memcg level
and the global level separately. Likewise, memory pressure states are
maintained on both the per-memcg level and the global level, and a
socket is considered under pressure when either level asserts as much.

Move the jump-label from sock_update_memcg() and sock_release_memcg() to
the callsite, and so eliminate those function calls when socket
accounting is not enabled.
This also eliminates the need for dummy functions because the calls will

__GFP_NOFAIL is a big hammer used to ensure that the allocation request
can never fail. This is a strong requirement and as such it also
deserves a special treatment when the system is OOM. The primary
problem here is that the allocation request might have come with some
locks held and the oom victim might be blocked on the same locks. This
is basically an OOM deadlock situation.
This patch tries to reduce the risk of such a deadlocks by giving
__GFP_NOFAIL allocations a special treatment and let them dive into
memory reserves after oom killer invocation. This should help them to
make a progress and release resources they are holding. The OOM victim
should compensate for the reserves consumption.

page_cache_read has been historically using page_cache_alloc_cold to
allocate a new page. This means that mapping_gfp_mask is used as the
base for the gfp_mask. Many filesystems are setting this mask to
GFP_NOFS to prevent from fs recursion issues. page_cache_read is called
from the vm_operations_struct::fault() context during the page fault.
This context doesn't need the reclaim protection normally.
ceph and ocfs2 which call filemap_fault from their fault handlers seem
to be OK because they are not taking any fs lock before invoking generic
implementation. xfs which takes XFS_MMAPLOCK_SHARED is safe from the
reclaim recursion POV because this lock serializes truncate and punch
hole with the page faults and it doesn't get involved in the reclaim.
There is simply no reason to deliberately use a weaker allocation
context when a __GFP_FS | __GFP_IO can be used. The GFP_NOFS protection
might be even harmful. There is a push to fail GFP_NOFS allocations
rather than loop within allocator indefinitely with a very limited
reclaim ability. Once we start failing those requests the OOM killer
might be triggered prematurely because the page cache allocation failure
is propagated up the page fault path and end up in
pagefault_out_of_memory.
We cannot play with mapping_gfp_mask directly because that would be racy
wrt. parallel page faults and it might interfere with other users who
really rely on NOFS semantic from the stored gfp_mask. The mask is also
inode proper so it would even be a layering violation. What we can do
instead is to push the gfp_mask into struct vm_fault and allow fs layer
to overwrite it should the callback need to be called with a different
allocation context.
Initialize the default to (mapping_gfp_mask | __GFP_FS | __GFP_IO)
because this should be safe from the page fault path normally. Why do
we care about mapping_gfp_mask at all then? Because this doesn't hold
only reclaim protection flags but it also might contain zone and
movability restrictions (GFP_DMA32, __GFP_MOVABLE and others) so we have
to respect those.

Address Space Layout Randomization (ASLR) provides a barrier to
exploitation of user-space processes in the presence of security
vulnerabilities by making it more difficult to find desired code/data
which could help an attack. This is done by adding a random offset to
the location of regions in the process address space, with a greater
range of potential offset values corresponding to better protection/a
larger search-space for brute force, but also to greater potential for
fragmentation.
The offset added to the mmap_base address, which provides the basis for
the majority of the mappings for a process, is set once on process exec
in arch_pick_mmap_layout() and is done via hard-coded per-arch values,
which reflect, hopefully, the best compromise for all systems. The
trade-off between increased entropy in the offset value generation and
the corresponding increased variability in address space fragmentation
is not absolute, however, and some platforms may tolerate higher amounts
of entropy. This patch introduces both new Kconfig values and a sysctl
interface which may be used to change the amount of entropy used for
offset generation on a system.
The direct motivation for this change was in response to the
libstagefright vulnerabilities that affected Android, specifically to
information provided by Google's project zero at:
http://googleprojectzero.blogspot.com/2015/09/stagefrightened.html
The attack presented therein, by Google's project zero, specifically
targeted the limited randomness used to generate the offset added to the
mmap_base address in order to craft a brute-force-based attack.
Concretely, the attack was against the mediaserver process, which was
limited to respawning every 5 seconds, on an arm device. The hard-coded
8 bits used resulted in an average expected success rate of defeating
the mmap ASLR after just over 10 minutes (128 tries at 5 seconds a
piece). With this patch, and an accompanying increase in the entropy
value to 16 bits, the same attack would take an average expected time of
over 45 hours (32768 tries), which makes it both less feasible and more
likely to be noticed.
The introduced Kconfig and sysctl options are limited by per-arch
minimum and maximum values, the minimum of which was chosen to match the
current hard-coded value and the maximum of which was chosen so as to
give the greatest flexibility without generating an invalid mmap_base
address, generally a 3-4 bits less than the number of bits in the
user-space accessible virtual address space.
When decided whether or not to change the default value, a system
developer should consider that mmap_base address could be placed
anywhere up to 2^(value) bits away from the non-randomized location,
which would introduce variable-sized areas above and below the mmap_base
address such that the maximum vm_area_struct size may be reduced,
preventing very large allocations.
This patch (of 4):
ASLR only uses as few as 8 bits to generate the random offset for the
mmap base address on 32 bit architectures. This value was chosen to
prevent a poorly chosen value from dividing the address space in such a
way as to prevent large allocations. This may not be an issue on all
platforms. Allow the specification of a minimum number of bits so that
platforms desiring greater ASLR protection may determine where to place
the trade-off.

The following flag comparison in mmap_region makes no sense:
if (!(vm_flags & MAP_FIXED))
return -ENOMEM;
The condition is always false and thus the above "return -ENOMEM" is
never executed. The vm_flags must not be compared with MAP_FIXED flag.
The vm_flags may only be compared with VM_* flags. MAP_FIXED has the
same value as VM_MAYREAD.
Hitting the rlimit is a slow path and find_vma_intersection should
realize that there is no overlapping VMA for !MAP_FIXED case pretty
quickly.

zone_reclaimable_pages counts how many pages are reclaimable in the
given zone. This currently includes all pages on file lrus and anon
lrus if there is an available swap storage. We do not consider
NR_ISOLATED_{ANON,FILE} counters though which is not correct because
these counters reflect temporarily isolated pages which are still
reclaimable because they either get back to their LRU or get freed
either by the page reclaim or page migration.
The number of these pages might be sufficiently high to confuse users of
zone_reclaimable_pages (e.g. mbind can migrate large ranges of memory
at once).

There are two bits defined for cg_proto->flags - MEMCG_SOCK_ACTIVATED
and MEMCG_SOCK_ACTIVE - both are set in tcp_update_limit, but the former
is never cleared while the latter can be cleared by unsetting the limit.
This allows to disable tcp socket accounting for new sockets after it
was enabled by writing -1 to memory.kmem.tcp.limit_in_bytes while still
guaranteeing that memcg_socket_limit_enabled static key will be
decremented on memcg destruction.
This functionality looks dubious, because it is not clear what a use
case would be. By enabling tcp accounting a user accepts the price. If
they then find the performance degradation unacceptable, they can always
restart their workload with tcp accounting disabled. It does not seem
there is any need to flip it while the workload is running.
Besides, it contradicts to how kmem accounting API works: writing
whatever to memory.kmem.limit_in_bytes enables kmem accounting for the
cgroup in question, after which it cannot be disabled. Therefore one
might expect that writing -1 to memory.kmem.tcp.limit_in_bytes just
enables socket accounting w/o limiting it, which might be useful by
itself, but it isn't true.
Since this API peculiarity is not documented anywhere, I propose to drop
it. This will allow to simplify the code by dropping cg_proto->flags.

We assume there is enough inactive page cache if the size of inactive
file lru is greater than the size of active file lru, in which case we
force-scan file lru ignoring anonymous pages. While this logic works
fine when there are plenty of page cache pages, it fails if the size of
file lru is small (several MB): in this case (lru_size >> prio) will be
0 for normal scan priorities, as a result, if inactive file lru happens
to be larger than active file lru, anonymous pages of a cgroup will
never get evicted unless the system experiences severe memory pressure,
even if there are gigabytes of unused anonymous memory there, which is
unfair in respect to other cgroups, whose workloads might be page cache
oriented.
This patch attempts to fix this by elaborating the "enough inactive page
cache" check: it makes it not only check that inactive lru size > active
lru size, but also that we will scan something from the cgroup at the
current scan priority. If these conditions do not hold, we proceed to
SCAN_FRACT as usual.
