* mm/zswap.c: allow handling just same-value filled pagesMaciej S. Szmigiero2022-03-221-3/+19
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Zswap has an ability to efficiently store same-value filled pages, which can be turned on and off using the "same_filled_pages_enabled" parameter. However, there is currently no way to enable just this (lightweight) functionality, while not making use of the whole compressed page storage machinery. Add a "non_same_filled_pages_enabled" parameter which allows disabling handling of pages that aren't same-value filled. This way zswap can be run in such lightweight same-value filled pages only mode.

* NUMA balancing: optimize page placement for memory tiering systemHuang Ying2022-03-221-9/+20
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | With the advent of various new memory types, some machines will have multiple types of memory, e.g. DRAM and PMEM (persistent memory). The memory subsystem of these machines can be called memory tiering system, because the performance of the different types of memory are usually different. In such system, because of the memory accessing pattern changing etc, some pages in the slow memory may become hot globally. So in this patch, the NUMA balancing mechanism is enhanced to optimize the page placement among the different memory types according to hot/cold dynamically. In a typical memory tiering system, there are CPUs, fast memory and slow memory in each physical NUMA node. The CPUs and the fast memory will be put in one logical node (called fast memory node), while the slow memory will be put in another (faked) logical node (called slow memory node). That is, the fast memory is regarded as local while the slow memory is regarded as remote. So it's possible for the recently accessed pages in the slow memory node to be promoted to the fast memory node via the existing NUMA balancing mechanism. The original NUMA balancing mechanism will stop to migrate pages if the free memory of the target node becomes below the high watermark. This is a reasonable policy if there's only one memory type. But this makes the original NUMA balancing mechanism almost do not work to optimize page placement among different memory types. Details are as follows. It's the common cases that the working-set size of the workload is larger than the size of the fast memory nodes. Otherwise, it's unnecessary to use the slow memory at all. So, there are almost always no enough free pages in the fast memory nodes, so that the globally hot pages in the slow memory node cannot be promoted to the fast memory node. To solve the issue, we have 2 choices as follows, a. Ignore the free pages watermark checking when promoting hot pages from the slow memory node to the fast memory node. This will create some memory pressure in the fast memory node, thus trigger the memory reclaiming. So that, the cold pages in the fast memory node will be demoted to the slow memory node. b. Define a new watermark called wmark_promo which is higher than wmark_high, and have kswapd reclaiming pages until free pages reach such watermark. The scenario is as follows: when we want to promote hot-pages from a slow memory to a fast memory, but fast memory's free pages would go lower than high watermark with such promotion, we wake up kswapd with wmark_promo watermark in order to demote cold pages and free us up some space. So, next time we want to promote hot-pages we might have a chance of doing so. The choice "a" may create high memory pressure in the fast memory node. If the memory pressure of the workload is high, the memory pressure may become so high that the memory allocation latency of the workload is influenced, e.g. the direct reclaiming may be triggered. The choice "b" works much better at this aspect. If the memory pressure of the workload is high, the hot pages promotion will stop earlier because its allocation watermark is higher than that of the normal memory allocation. So in this patch, choice "b" is implemented. A new zone watermark (WMARK_PROMO) is added. Which is larger than the high watermark and can be controlled via watermark_scale_factor. In addition to the original page placement optimization among sockets, the NUMA balancing mechanism is extended to be used to optimize page placement according to hot/cold among different memory types. So the sysctl user space interface (numa_balancing) is extended in a backward compatible way as follow, so that the users can enable/disable these functionality individually. The sysctl is converted from a Boolean value to a bits field. The definition of the flags is, - 0: NUMA_BALANCING_DISABLED - 1: NUMA_BALANCING_NORMAL - 2: NUMA_BALANCING_MEMORY_TIERING We have tested the patch with the pmbench memory accessing benchmark with the 80:20 read/write ratio and the Gauss access address distribution on a 2 socket Intel server with Optane DC Persistent Memory Model. The test results shows that the pmbench score can improve up to 95.9%. Thanks Andrew Morton to help fix the document format error.

* mm: hugetlb: free the 2nd vmemmap page associated with each HugeTLB pageMuchun Song2022-03-221-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Patch series "Free the 2nd vmemmap page associated with each HugeTLB page", v7. This series can minimize the overhead of struct page for 2MB HugeTLB pages significantly. It further reduces the overhead of struct page by 12.5% for a 2MB HugeTLB compared to the previous approach, which means 2GB per 1TB HugeTLB. It is a nice gain. Comments and reviews are welcome. Thanks. The main implementation and details can refer to the commit log of patch 1. In this series, I have changed the following four helpers, the following table shows the impact of the overhead of those helpers. +------------------+-----------------------+ | APIs | head page | tail page | +------------------+-----------+-----------+ | PageHead() | Y | N | +------------------+-----------+-----------+ | PageTail() | Y | N | +------------------+-----------+-----------+ | PageCompound() | N | N | +------------------+-----------+-----------+ | compound_head() | Y | N | +------------------+-----------+-----------+ Y: Overhead is increased. N: Overhead is _NOT_ increased. It shows that the overhead of those helpers on a tail page don't change between "hugetlb_free_vmemmap=on" and "hugetlb_free_vmemmap=off". But the overhead on a head page will be increased when "hugetlb_free_vmemmap=on" (except PageCompound()). So I believe that Matthew Wilcox's folio series will help with this. The users of PageHead() and PageTail() are much less than compound_head() and most users of PageTail() are VM_BUG_ON(), so I have done some tests about the overhead of compound_head() on head pages. I have tested the overhead of calling compound_head() on a head page, which is 2.11ns (Measure the call time of 10 million times compound_head(), and then average). For a head page whose address is not aligned with PAGE_SIZE or a non-compound page, the overhead of compound_head() is 2.54ns which is increased by 20%. For a head page whose address is aligned with PAGE_SIZE, the overhead of compound_head() is 2.97ns which is increased by 40%. Most pages are the former. I do not think the overhead is significant since the overhead of compound_head() itself is low. This patch (of 5): This patch minimizes the overhead of struct page for 2MB HugeTLB pages significantly. It further reduces the overhead of struct page by 12.5% for a 2MB HugeTLB compared to the previous approach, which means 2GB per 1TB HugeTLB (2MB type). After the feature of "Free sonme vmemmap pages of HugeTLB page" is enabled, the mapping of the vmemmap addresses associated with a 2MB HugeTLB page becomes the figure below. HugeTLB struct pages(8 pages) page frame(8 pages) +-----------+ ---virt_to_page---> +-----------+ mapping to +-----------+---> PG_head | | | 0 | -------------> | 0 | | | +-----------+ +-----------+ | | | 1 | -------------> | 1 | | | +-----------+ +-----------+ | | | 2 | ----------------^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ | | +-----------+ | | | | | | | | 3 | ------------------+ | | | | | | +-----------+ | | | | | | | 4 | --------------------+ | | | | 2MB | +-----------+ | | | | | | 5 | ----------------------+ | | | | +-----------+ | | | | | 6 | ------------------------+ | | | +-----------+ | | | | 7 | --------------------------+ | | +-----------+ | | | | | | +-----------+ As we can see, the 2nd vmemmap page frame (indexed by 1) is reused and remaped. However, the 2nd vmemmap page frame is also can be freed to the buddy allocator, then we can change the mapping from the figure above to the figure below. HugeTLB struct pages(8 pages) page frame(8 pages) +-----------+ ---virt_to_page---> +-----------+ mapping to +-----------+---> PG_head | | | 0 | -------------> | 0 | | | +-----------+ +-----------+ | | | 1 | ---------------^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ | | +-----------+ | | | | | | | | | 2 | -----------------+ | | | | | | | +-----------+ | | | | | | | | 3 | -------------------+ | | | | | | +-----------+ | | | | | | | 4 | ---------------------+ | | | | 2MB | +-----------+ | | | | | | 5 | -----------------------+ | | | | +-----------+ | | | | | 6 | -------------------------+ | | | +-----------+ | | | | 7 | ---------------------------+ | | +-----------+ | | | | | | +-----------+ After we do this, all tail vmemmap pages (1-7) are mapped to the head vmemmap page frame (0). In other words, there are more than one page struct with PG_head associated with each HugeTLB page. We __know__ that there is only one head page struct, the tail page structs with PG_head are fake head page structs. We need an approach to distinguish between those two different types of page structs so that compound_head(), PageHead() and PageTail() can work properly if the parameter is the tail page struct but with PG_head. The following code snippet describes how to distinguish between real and fake head page struct. if (test_bit(PG_head, &page->flags)) { unsigned long head = READ_ONCE(page[1].compound_head); if (head & 1) { if (head == (unsigned long)page + 1) ==> head page struct else ==> tail page struct } else ==> head page struct } We can safely access the field of the @page[1] with PG_head because the @page is a compound page composed with at least two contiguous pages.

* mm/memcg: disable threshold event handlers on PREEMPT_RTSebastian Andrzej Siewior2022-03-221-0/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | During the integration of PREEMPT_RT support, the code flow around memcg_check_events() resulted in `twisted code'. Moving the code around and avoiding then would then lead to an additional local-irq-save section within memcg_check_events(). While looking better, it adds a local-irq-save section to code flow which is usually within an local-irq-off block on non-PREEMPT_RT configurations. The threshold event handler is a deprecated memcg v1 feature. Instead of trying to get it to work under PREEMPT_RT just disable it. There should be no users on PREEMPT_RT. From that perspective it makes even less sense to get it to work under PREEMPT_RT while having zero users. Make memory.soft_limit_in_bytes and cgroup.event_control return -EOPNOTSUPP on PREEMPT_RT. Make an empty memcg_check_events() and memcg_write_event_control() which return only -EOPNOTSUPP on PREEMPT_RT. Document that the two knobs are disabled on PREEMPT_RT.

* memcg: add per-memcg total kernel memory statYosry Ahmed2022-03-221-0/+5
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Currently memcg stats show several types of kernel memory: kernel stack, page tables, sock, vmalloc, and slab. However, there are other allocations with __GFP_ACCOUNT (or supersets such as GFP_KERNEL_ACCOUNT) that are not accounted in any of those stats, a few examples are: - various kvm allocations (e.g. allocated pages to create vcpus) - io_uring - tmp_page in pipes during pipe_write() - bpf ringbuffers - unix sockets Keeping track of the total kernel memory is essential for the ease of migration from cgroup v1 to v2 as there are large discrepancies between v1's kmem.usage_in_bytes and the sum of the available kernel memory stats in v2. Adding separate memcg stats for all __GFP_ACCOUNT kernel allocations is an impractical maintenance burden as there a lot of those all over the kernel code, with more use cases likely to show up in the future. Therefore, add a "kernel" memcg stat that is analogous to kmem page counter, with added benefits such as using rstat infrastructure which aggregates stats more efficiently. Additionally, this provides a lighter alternative in case the legacy kmem is deprecated in the future [yosryahmed@google.com: v2] Link: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20220203193856.972500-1-yosryahmed@google.com Link: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20220201200823.3283171-1-yosryahmed@google.com Signed-off-by: Yosry Ahmed <yosryahmed@google.com> Acked-by: Shakeel Butt <shakeelb@google.com> Acked-by: Johannes Weiner <hannes@cmpxchg.org> Cc: Michal Hocko <mhocko@kernel.org> Cc: Muchun Song <songmuchun@bytedance.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This syscall can be used to set a home node for the MPOL_BIND and MPOL_PREFERRED_MANY memory policy. Users should use this syscall after setting up a memory policy for the specified range as shown below. mbind(p, nr_pages * page_size, MPOL_BIND, new_nodes->maskp, new_nodes->size + 1, 0); sys_set_mempolicy_home_node((unsigned long)p, nr_pages * page_size, home_node, 0); The syscall allows specifying a home node/preferred node from which kernel will fulfill memory allocation requests first. For address range with MPOL_BIND memory policy, if nodemask specifies more than one node, page allocations will come from the node in the nodemask with sufficient free memory that is closest to the home node/preferred node. For MPOL_PREFERRED_MANY if the nodemask specifies more than one node, page allocation will come from the node in the nodemask with sufficient free memory that is closest to the home node/preferred node. If there is not enough memory in all the nodes specified in the nodemask, the allocation will be attempted from the closest numa node to the home node in the system. This helps applications to hint at a memory allocation preference node and fallback to _only_ a set of nodes if the memory is not available on the preferred node. Fallback allocation is attempted from the node which is nearest to the preferred node. This helps applications to have control on memory allocation numa nodes and avoids default fallback to slow memory NUMA nodes. For example a system with NUMA nodes 1,2 and 3 with DRAM memory and 10, 11 and 12 of slow memory new_nodes = numa_bitmask_alloc(nr_nodes); numa_bitmask_setbit(new_nodes, 1); numa_bitmask_setbit(new_nodes, 2); numa_bitmask_setbit(new_nodes, 3); p = mmap(NULL, nr_pages * page_size, protflag, mapflag, -1, 0); mbind(p, nr_pages * page_size, MPOL_BIND, new_nodes->maskp, new_nodes->size + 1, 0); sys_set_mempolicy_home_node(p, nr_pages * page_size, 2, 0); This will allocate from nodes closer to node 2 and will make sure the kernel will only allocate from nodes 1, 2, and 3. Memory will not be allocated from slow memory nodes 10, 11, and 12. This differs from default MPOL_BIND behavior in that with default MPOL_BIND the allocation will be attempted from node closer to the local node. One of the reasons to specify a home node is to allow allocations from cpu less NUMA node and its nearby NUMA nodes. With MPOL_PREFERRED_MANY on the other hand will first try to allocate from the closest node to node 2 from the node list 1, 2 and 3. If those nodes don't have enough memory, kernel will allocate from slow memory node 10, 11 and 12 which ever is closer to node 2.

| * hugetlb: add hugetlb.*.numa_stat fileMina Almasry2022-01-152-0/+9
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | For hugetlb backed jobs/VMs it's critical to understand the numa information for the memory backing these jobs to deliver optimal performance. Currently this technically can be queried from /proc/self/numa_maps, but there are significant issues with that. Namely: 1. Memory can be mapped or unmapped. 2. numa_maps are per process and need to be aggregated across all processes in the cgroup. For shared memory this is more involved as the userspace needs to make sure it doesn't double count shared mappings. 3. I believe querying numa_maps needs to hold the mmap_lock which adds to the contention on this lock. For these reasons I propose simply adding hugetlb.*.numa_stat file, which shows the numa information of the cgroup similarly to memory.numa_stat. On cgroup-v2: cat /sys/fs/cgroup/unified/test/hugetlb.2MB.numa_stat total=2097152 N0=2097152 N1=0 On cgroup-v1: cat /sys/fs/cgroup/hugetlb/test/hugetlb.2MB.numa_stat total=2097152 N0=2097152 N1=0 hierarichal_total=2097152 N0=2097152 N1=0 This patch was tested manually by allocating hugetlb memory and querying the hugetlb.*.numa_stat file of the cgroup and its parents.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | For embedded systems with low total memory, having to run applications with relatively large memory requirements, 10% max limitation for watermark_scale_factor poses an issue of triggering direct reclaim every time such application is started. This results in slow application startup times and bad end-user experience. By increasing watermark_scale_factor max limit we allow vendors more flexibility to choose the right level of kswapd aggressiveness for their device and workload requirements.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The kvmalloc* allocation functions can fallback to vmalloc allocations and more often on long running machines.

| * mm/memcg: add oom_group_kill memory eventDan Schatzberg2022-01-151-0/+3

We use memory.oom.group = 1 to ensure that OOM kills within the container's cgroup kill everything. Existing memory.events are insufficient for knowing if this triggered: 1) Our current approach reads memory.events oom_kill and reports the container was killed if the value is non-zero. This is erroneous in some cases where containers create their children cgroups with memory.oom.group=1 as such OOM kills will get counted against the container cgroup's oom_kill counter despite not actually OOM killing the entire container. 2) Reading memory.events.local will fail to identify OOM kills in leaf cgroups (that don't set memory.oom.group) within the container cgroup. This patch adds a new oom_group_kill event when memory.oom.group triggers to allow userspace to cleanly identify when an entire cgroup is oom killed.

This results in a less elegant user-space interface but I never got any follow-up on the committable items and didn't want to delay this module for several more months.

However, if the callback flood ends, per-CPU queueing continues to be used, which introduces significant additional overhead, especially for callback invocation, which fans out a series of workqueue handlers. This commit therefore switches back to single-queue operation if at the beginning of a grace period there are very few callbacks. The definition of "very few" is set by the rcupdate.rcu_task_collapse_lim module parameter, which defaults to 10. This switch happens in two phases, with the first phase causing future callbacks to be enqueued on CPU 0's queue, but with all queues continuing to be checked for grace periods and callback invocation. The second phase checks to see if an RCU grace period has elapsed and if all remaining RCU-Tasks callbacks are queued on CPU 0. If so, only CPU 0 is checked for future grace periods and callback operation. Of course, the return of contention anywhere during this process will result in returning to per-CPU callback queueing.

However if callback storms are infrequent, it would be better to operate with a single queue on a given system unless and until that system actually needed more queues. Systems not needing more queues can then avoid the overhead of checking the extra queues and especially avoid the overhead of fanning workqueue handlers out to all CPUs to invoke callbacks. This commit therefore switches to using all the CPUs' callback queues if call_rcu_tasks_generic() encounters too much lock contention. The amount of lock contention to tolerate defaults to 100 contended lock acquisitions per jiffy, and can be adjusted using the new rcupdate.rcu_task_contend_lim module parameter. Such switching is undertaken only if the rcupdate.rcu_task_enqueue_lim module parameter is negative, which is its default value (-1). This allows savvy systems administrators to set the number of queues to some known good value and to not have to worry about the kernel doing any second guessing.

This allows systems administrators to use "rcu_nocbs" to specify that none of the CPUs are to be offloaded at boot time, but than any of them may be offloaded at runtime via cpusets. In contrast, if the "rcu_nocbs" or "nohz_full" kernel parameters are not specified at all, then not only are none of the CPUs offloaded at boot, none of them can be offloaded at runtime, either. While in the area, modernize the description of the "rcuo" kthreads' naming scheme.

In this situation, all that this Kconfig option does is slow down idle entry/exit with an additional allways-taken early exit. If this is the only use case, then this Kconfig option nothing but an attractive nuisance that needs to go away. This commit therefore removes the RCU_FAST_NO_HZ Kconfig option.

However, CONFIG_NO_HZ=y offloads callbacks from all nohz_full CPUs, and CPUs with offloaded callbacks do not benefit from CONFIG_RCU_FAST_NO_HZ=y. Quite the opposite: CONFIG_RCU_FAST_NO_HZ=y simply adds a bit of idle entry/exit overhead. This commit therefore changes that advice to only CONFIG_NO_HZ=y. Signed-off-by: Paul E.

There are also other cpufreq updates (in the core, intel_pstate, ARM drivers), PM core updates (mostly related to adding new macros for declaring PM operations which should make the lives of driver developers somewhat easier), and a bunch of assorted fixes and cleanups. Summary: - Add new P-state driver for AMD processors (Huang Rui). - Fix initialization of min and max frequency QoS requests in the cpufreq core (Rafael Wysocki). - Fix EPP handling on Alder Lake in intel_pstate (Srinivas Pandruvada). - Make intel_pstate update cpuinfo.max_freq when notified of HWP capabilities changes and drop a redundant function call from that driver (Rafael Wysocki). - Improve IRQ support in the Qcom cpufreq driver (Ard Biesheuvel, Stephen Boyd, Vladimir Zapolskiy). - Fix double devm_remap() in the Mediatek cpufreq driver (Hector Yuan). - Introduce thermal pressure helpers for cpufreq CPU cooling (Lukasz Luba). - Make cpufreq use default_groups in kobj_type (Greg Kroah-Hartman). - Make cpuidle use default_groups in kobj_type (Greg Kroah-Hartman). - Fix two comments in cpuidle code (Jason Wang, Yang Li). - Allow model-specific normal EPB value to be used in the intel_epb sysfs attribute handling code (Srinivas Pandruvada). - Simplify locking in pm_runtime_put_suppliers() (Rafael Wysocki). - Add safety net to supplier device release in the runtime PM core code (Rafael Wysocki). - Capture device status before disabling runtime PM for it (Rafael Wysocki). - Add new macros for declaring PM operations to allow drivers to avoid guarding them with CONFIG_PM #ifdefs or __maybe_unused and update some drivers to use these macros (Paul Cercueil). - Allow ACPI hardware signature to be honoured during restore from hibernation (David Woodhouse). - Update outdated operating performance points (OPP) documentation (Tang Yizhou). - Reduce log severity for informative message regarding frequency transition failures in devfreq (Tzung-Bi Shih). - Add DRAM frequency controller devfreq driver for Allwinner sunXi SoCs (Samuel Holland). - Add missing COMMON_CLK dependency to sun8i devfreq driver (Arnd Bergmann). - Add support for new layout of Psys PowerLimit Register on SPR to the Intel RAPL power capping driver (Zhang Rui). - Fix typo in a comment in idle_inject.c (Jason Wang). - Remove unused function definition from the DTPM (Dynamit Thermal Power Management) power capping framework (Daniel Lezcano). - Reduce DTPM trace verbosity (Daniel Lezcano)" * tag 'pm-5.17-rc1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rafael/linux-pm: (53 commits) x86, sched: Fix undefined reference to init_freq_invariance_cppc() build error cpufreq: amd-pstate: Fix Kconfig dependencies for AMD P-State cpufreq: amd-pstate: Fix struct amd_cpudata kernel-doc comment cpuidle: use default_groups in kobj_type x86: intel_epb: Allow model specific normal EPB value MAINTAINERS: Add AMD P-State driver maintainer entry Documentation: amd-pstate: Add AMD P-State driver introduction cpufreq: amd-pstate: Add AMD P-State performance attributes cpufreq: amd-pstate: Add AMD P-State frequencies attributes cpufreq: amd-pstate: Add boost mode support for AMD P-State cpufreq: amd-pstate: Add trace for AMD P-State module cpufreq: amd-pstate: Introduce the support for the processors with shared memory solution cpufreq: amd-pstate: Add fast switch function for AMD P-State cpufreq: amd-pstate: Introduce a new AMD P-State driver to support future processors ACPI: CPPC: Add CPPC enable register function ACPI: CPPC: Check present CPUs for determining _CPC is valid ACPI: CPPC: Implement support for SystemIO registers x86/msr: Add AMD CPPC MSR definitions x86/cpufeatures: Add AMD Collaborative Processor Performance Control feature flag cpufreq: use default_groups in kobj_type ...
