This spreads out the time it takes to + initialize the contents of a page - depending on the write-usage of the + mapping. + + In the no-MMU case, however, anonymous mappings are backed by physical + pages, and the entire map is cleared at allocation time. This can cause + significant delays during a userspace malloc() as the C library does an + anonymous mapping and the kernel then does a memset for the entire map. + + However, for memory that isn't required to be precleared - such as that + returned by malloc() - mmap() can take a MAP_UNINITIALIZED flag to + indicate to the kernel that it shouldn't bother clearing the memory before + returning it. Note that CONFIG_MMAP_ALLOW_UNINITIALIZED must be enabled + to permit this, otherwise the flag will be ignored. + + uClibc uses this to speed up malloc(), and the ELF-FDPIC binfmt uses this + to allocate the brk and stack region. + + (#) A list of all the private copy and anonymous mappings on the system is + visible through /proc/maps in no-MMU mode. + + (#) A list of all the mappings in use by a process is visible through + /proc/<pid>/maps in no-MMU mode. + + (#) Supplying MAP_FIXED or a requesting a particular mapping address will + result in an error. + + (#) Files mapped privately usually have to have a read method provided by the + driver or filesystem so that the contents can be read into the memory + allocated if mmap() chooses not to map the backing device directly. An + error will result if they don't. This is most likely to be encountered + with character device files, pipes, fifos and sockets. + + +Interprocess shared memory +========================== + +Both SYSV IPC SHM shared memory and POSIX shared memory is supported in NOMMU +mode. The former through the usual mechanism, the latter through files created +on ramfs or tmpfs mounts. + + +Futexes +======= + +Futexes are supported in NOMMU mode if the arch supports them. An error will +be given if an address passed to the futex system call lies outside the +mappings made by a process or if the mapping in which the address lies does not +support futexes (such as an I/O chardev mapping). + + +No-MMU mremap +============= + +The mremap() function is partially supported. It may change the size of a +mapping, and may move it [#]_ if MREMAP_MAYMOVE is specified and if the new size +of the mapping exceeds the size of the slab object currently occupied by the +memory to which the mapping refers, or if a smaller slab object could be used. + +MREMAP_FIXED is not supported, though it is ignored if there's no change of +address and the object does not need to be moved. + +Shared mappings may not be moved. Shareable mappings may not be moved either, +even if they are not currently shared. + +The mremap() function must be given an exact match for base address and size of +a previously mapped object. It may not be used to create holes in existing +mappings, move parts of existing mappings or resize parts of mappings. It must +act on a complete mapping. + +.. [#] Not currently supported. + + +Providing shareable character device support +============================================ + +To provide shareable character device support, a driver must provide a +file->f_op->get_unmapped_area() operation. The mmap() routines will call this +to get a proposed address for the mapping. This may return an error if it +doesn't wish to honour the mapping because it's too long, at a weird offset, +under some unsupported combination of flags or whatever. + +The driver should also provide backing device information with capabilities set +to indicate the permitted types of mapping on such devices. The default is +assumed to be readable and writable, not executable, and only shareable +directly (can't be copied). + +The file->f_op->mmap() operation will be called to actually inaugurate the +mapping. It can be rejected at that point. Returning the ENOSYS error will +cause the mapping to be copied instead if NOMMU_MAP_COPY is specified. + +The vm_ops->close() routine will be invoked when the last mapping on a chardev +is removed. An existing mapping will be shared, partially or not, if possible +without notifying the driver. + +It is permitted also for the file->f_op->get_unmapped_area() operation to +return -ENOSYS. This will be taken to mean that this operation just doesn't +want to handle it, despite the fact it's got an operation. For instance, it +might try directing the call to a secondary driver which turns out not to +implement it. Such is the case for the framebuffer driver which attempts to +direct the call to the device-specific driver. Under such circumstances, the +mapping request will be rejected if NOMMU_MAP_COPY is not specified, and a +copy mapped otherwise. + +.. important:: + + Some types of device may present a different appearance to anyone + looking at them in certain modes. Flash chips can be like this; for + instance if they're in programming or erase mode, you might see the + status reflected in the mapping, instead of the data. + + In such a case, care must be taken lest userspace see a shared or a + private mapping showing such information when the driver is busy + controlling the device. Remember especially: private executable + mappings may still be mapped directly off the device under some + circumstances! + + +Providing shareable memory-backed file support +============================================== + +Provision of shared mappings on memory backed files is similar to the provision +of support for shared mapped character devices. The main difference is that the +filesystem providing the service will probably allocate a contiguous collection +of pages and permit mappings to be made on that. + +It is recommended that a truncate operation applied to such a file that +increases the file size, if that file is empty, be taken as a request to gather +enough pages to honour a mapping. This is required to support POSIX shared +memory. + +Memory backed devices are indicated by the mapping's backing device info having +the memory_backed flag set. + + +Providing shareable block device support +======================================== + +Provision of shared mappings on block device files is exactly the same as for +character devices. If there isn't a real device underneath, then the driver +should allocate sufficient contiguous memory to honour any supported mapping. + + +Adjusting page trimming behaviour +================================= + +NOMMU mmap automatically rounds up to the nearest power-of-2 number of pages +when performing an allocation. This can have adverse effects on memory +fragmentation, and as such, is left configurable. The default behaviour is to +aggressively trim allocations and discard any excess pages back in to the page +allocator. In order to retain finer-grained control over fragmentation, this +behaviour can either be disabled completely, or bumped up to a higher page +watermark where trimming begins. + +Page trimming behaviour is configurable via the sysctl ``vm.nr_trim_pages``. diff --git a/Documentation/admin-guide/mm/numaperf.rst b/Documentation/admin-guide/mm/numaperf.rst index a80c3c37226e..4d69ef1de830 100644 --- a/Documentation/admin-guide/mm/numaperf.rst +++ b/Documentation/admin-guide/mm/numaperf.rst @@ -129,7 +129,7 @@ will create the following directory:: /sys/devices/system/node/nodeX/memory_side_cache/ -If that directory is not present, the system either does not not provide +If that directory is not present, the system either does not provide a memory-side cache, or that information is not accessible to the kernel.
