* docs: admin-guide: remove obsolete advice related to SLAB allocatorLukas Bulwahn2024-01-231-10/+6
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Commit 1db9d06aaa55 ("mm/slab: remove CONFIG_SLAB from all Kconfig and Makefile") removes the config SLAB and makes the SLUB allocator the only default allocator in the kernel. Hence, the advice on reducing OS jitter due to kworker kernel threads to build with CONFIG_SLUB instead of CONFIG_SLAB is obsolete. Remove the obsolete advice to build with SLUB instead of SLAB.

With the help of newly changed function parse_crashkernel() and generic reserve_crashkernel_generic(), crashkernel reservation can be simplified by steps: 1) Add a new header file <asm/crash_core.h>, then define CRASH_ALIGN, CRASH_ADDR_LOW_MAX and CRASH_ADDR_HIGH_MAX and in <asm/crash_core.h>; 2) Add arch_reserve_crashkernel() to call parse_crashkernel() and reserve_crashkernel_generic(); 3) Add ARCH_HAS_GENERIC_CRASHKERNEL_RESERVATION Kconfig in arch/loongarch/Kconfig. One can reserve the crash kernel from high memory above DMA zone range by explicitly passing "crashkernel=X,high"; or reserve a memory range below 4G with "crashkernel=X,low". Besides, there are few rules need to take notice: 1) "crashkernel=X,[high,low]" will be ignored if "crashkernel=size" is specified. 2) "crashkernel=X,low" is valid only when "crashkernel=X,high" is passed and there is enough memory to be allocated under 4G. 3) When allocating crashkernel above 4G and no "crashkernel=X,low" is specified, a 128M low memory will be allocated automatically for swiotlb bounce buffer. See Documentation/admin-guide/kernel-parameters.txt for more information. Following test cases have been performed as expected: 1) crashkernel=256M //low=256M 2) crashkernel=1G //low=1G 3) crashkernel=4G //high=4G, low=128M(default) 4) crashkernel=4G crashkernel=256M,high //high=4G, low=128M(default), high is ignored 5) crashkernel=4G crashkernel=256M,low //high=4G, low=128M(default), low is ignored 6) crashkernel=4G,high //high=4G, low=128M(default) 7) crashkernel=256M,low //low=0M, invalid 8) crashkernel=4G,high crashkernel=256M,low //high=4G, low=256M 9) crashkernel=4G,high crashkernel=4G,low //high=0M, low=0M, invalid 10) crashkernel=512M@2560M //low=512M 11) crashkernel=1G,high crashkernel=0M,low //high=1G, low=0M Recommended usage in general: 1) In the case of small memory: crashkernel=512M 2) In the case of large memory: crashkernel=1024M,high crashkernel=128M,low Signed-off-by: Youling Tang <tangyouling@kylinos.cn> Signed-off-by: Huacai Chen <chenhuacai@loongson.cn>

| * | | usb: new quirk to reduce the SET_ADDRESS request timeoutHardik Gajjar2023-11-231-0/+3

The standard timeout for USB request/command is 5000 ms, as recommended in the USB 3.2 specification (section 9.2.6.1). However, certain scenarios, such as connecting devices through an APTIV hub, can lead to timeout errors when the device enumerates as full speed initially and later switches to high speed during chirp negotiation. In such cases, USB analyzer logs reveal that the bus suspends for 5 seconds due to incorrect chirp parsing and resumes only after two consecutive timeout errors trigger a hub driver reset.

Full Speed J (Suspend)( 5.347 sec) Idle( 5.366 us) _______| Time Stamp(28 . 247 657 600) _______|_____________________________________________________________Ch0 This 5-second delay in device enumeration is undesirable, particularly in automotive applications where quick enumeration is crucial (ideally within 3 seconds). The newly introduced quirks provide the flexibility to align with a 3-second time limit, as required in specific contexts like automotive applications. By reducing the SET_ADDRESS request timeout to 500 ms, the system can respond more swiftly to errors, initiate rapid recovery, and ensure efficient device enumeration. This change is vital for scenarios where rapid smartphone enumeration and screen projection are essential.

However, we also don't expose it to anyone for consumption. That leaves us in a weird situation where the only user of this feature is ppc64 and arm64 specific kexec tooling. To make it more generally useful, this patch adds a kobject to the firmware object that contains the initrd context when "retain_initrd" is set. That way, we can access the initrd any time after boot from user space and for example hand it into kexec as --initrd parameter if we want to reboot the same initrd. Or inspect it directly locally. With this patch applied, there is a new /sys/firmware/initrd file when the kernel was booted with an initrd and "retain_initrd" command line option is set.

This is mostly useful for testing, since there is no pKVM-like infrastructure to provide a meaningfully reduced TCB. - Fix a relatively benign off-by-one error when splitting huge pages during CLEAR_DIRTY_LOG. - Fix a bug where KVM could incorrectly test-and-clear dirty bits in non-leaf TDP MMU SPTEs if a racing thread replaces a huge SPTE with a non-huge SPTE. - Use more generic lockdep assertions in paths that don't actually care about whether the caller is a reader or a writer. - let Xen guests opt out of having PV clock reported as "based on a stable TSC", because some of them don't expect the "TSC stable" bit (added to the pvclock ABI by KVM, but never set by Xen) to be set. - Revert a bogus, made-up nested SVM consistency check for TLB_CONTROL. - Advertise flush-by-ASID support for nSVM unconditionally, as KVM always flushes on nested transitions, i.e. always satisfies flush requests. This allows running bleeding edge versions of VMware Workstation on top of KVM. - Sanity check that the CPU supports flush-by-ASID when enabling SEV support. - On AMD machines with vNMI, always rely on hardware instead of intercepting IRET in some cases to detect unmasking of NMIs - Support for virtualizing Linear Address Masking (LAM) - Fix a variety of vPMU bugs where KVM fail to stop/reset counters and other state prior to refreshing the vPMU model. - Fix a double-overflow PMU bug by tracking emulated counter events using a dedicated field instead of snapshotting the "previous" counter. If the hardware PMC count triggers overflow that is recognized in the same VM-Exit that KVM manually bumps an event count, KVM would pend PMIs for both the hardware-triggered overflow and for KVM-triggered overflow. - Turn off KVM_WERROR by default for all configs so that it's not inadvertantly enabled by non-KVM developers, which can be problematic for subsystems that require no regressions for W=1 builds. - Advertise all of the host-supported CPUID bits that enumerate IA32_SPEC_CTRL "features". - Don't force a masterclock update when a vCPU synchronizes to the current TSC generation, as updating the masterclock can cause kvmclock's time to "jump" unexpectedly, e.g. when userspace hotplugs a pre-created vCPU. - Use RIP-relative address to read kvm_rebooting in the VM-Enter fault paths, partly as a super minor optimization, but mostly to make KVM play nice with position independent executable builds. - Guard KVM-on-HyperV's range-based TLB flush hooks with an #ifdef on CONFIG_HYPERV as a minor optimization, and to self-document the code. - Add CONFIG_KVM_HYPERV to allow disabling KVM support for HyperV "emulation" at build time. ARM64: - LPA2 support, adding 52bit IPA/PA capability for 4kB and 16kB base granule sizes. Branch shared with the arm64 tree. - Large Fine-Grained Trap rework, bringing some sanity to the feature, although there is more to come. This comes with a prefix branch shared with the arm64 tree. - Some additional Nested Virtualization groundwork, mostly introducing the NV2 VNCR support and retargetting the NV support to that version of the architecture. - A small set of vgic fixes and associated cleanups. Loongarch: - Optimization for memslot hugepage checking - Cleanup and fix some HW/SW timer issues - Add LSX/LASX (128bit/256bit SIMD) support RISC-V: - KVM_GET_REG_LIST improvement for vector registers - Generate ISA extension reg_list using macros in get-reg-list selftest - Support for reporting steal time along with selftest s390: - Bugfixes Selftests: - Fix an annoying goof where the NX hugepage test prints out garbage instead of the magic token needed to run the test. - Fix build errors when a header is delete/moved due to a missing flag in the Makefile. - Detect if KVM bugged/killed a selftest's VM and print out a helpful message instead of complaining that a random ioctl() failed. - Annotate the guest printf/assert helpers with __printf(), and fix the various bugs that were lurking due to lack of said annotation" * tag 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/virt/kvm/kvm: (185 commits) x86/kvm: Do not try to disable kvmclock if it was not enabled KVM: x86: add missing "depends on KVM" KVM: fix direction of dependency on MMU notifiers KVM: introduce CONFIG_KVM_COMMON KVM: arm64: Add missing memory barriers when switching to pKVM's hyp pgd KVM: arm64: vgic-its: Avoid potential UAF in LPI translation cache RISC-V: KVM: selftests: Add get-reg-list test for STA registers RISC-V: KVM: selftests: Add steal_time test support RISC-V: KVM: selftests: Add guest_sbi_probe_extension RISC-V: KVM: selftests: Move sbi_ecall to processor.c RISC-V: KVM: Implement SBI STA extension RISC-V: KVM: Add support for SBI STA registers RISC-V: KVM: Add support for SBI extension registers RISC-V: KVM: Add SBI STA info to vcpu_arch RISC-V: KVM: Add steal-update vcpu request RISC-V: KVM: Add SBI STA extension skeleton RISC-V: paravirt: Implement steal-time support RISC-V: Add SBI STA extension definitions RISC-V: paravirt: Add skeleton for pv-time support RISC-V: KVM: Fix indentation in kvm_riscv_vcpu_set_reg_csr() ...

These bugs can be detected by the RCU CPU stall-warning mechanism, but in some cases, the stall-warnings printk()s disrupt the forward-progress bug before any useful state can be obtained. Unfortunately, the notifier mechanism added by commit 5b404fdabacf ("rcu: Add RCU CPU stall notifier") can make matters worse if used at all carelessly. For example, if the stall warning was caused by a lock not being released, then any attempt to acquire that lock in the notifier will hang. This will prevent not only the notifier from producing any useful output, but it will also prevent the stall-warning message from ever appearing. This commit therefore hides this new RCU CPU stall notifier mechanism under a new RCU_CPU_STALL_NOTIFIER Kconfig option that depends on both DEBUG_KERNEL and RCU_EXPERT. In addition, the rcupdate.rcu_cpu_stall_notifiers=1 kernel boot parameter must also be specified. The RCU_CPU_STALL_NOTIFIER Kconfig option's help text contains a warning and explains the dangers of careless use, recommending lockless notifier code. In addition, a WARN() is triggered each time that an attempt is made to register a stall-warning notifier in kernels built with CONFIG_RCU_CPU_STALL_NOTIFIER=y. This combination of measures will keep use of this mechanism confined to debug kernels and away from routine deployments.

Core & protocols: - Analyze and reorganize core networking structs (socks, netdev, netns, mibs) to optimize cacheline consumption and set up build time warnings to safeguard against future header changes This improves TCP performances with many concurrent connections up to 40% - Add page-pool netlink-based introspection, exposing the memory usage and recycling stats. This helps indentify bad PP users and possible leaks - Refine TCP/DCCP source port selection to no longer favor even source port at connect() time when IP_LOCAL_PORT_RANGE is set. This lowers the time taken by connect() for hosts having many active connections to the same destination - Refactor the TCP bind conflict code, shrinking related socket structs - Refactor TCP SYN-Cookie handling, as a preparation step to allow arbitrary SYN-Cookie processing via eBPF - Tune optmem_max for 0-copy usage, increasing the default value to 128KB and namespecifying it - Allow coalescing for cloned skbs coming from page pools, improving RX performances with some common configurations - Reduce extension header parsing overhead at GRO time - Add bridge MDB bulk deletion support, allowing user-space to request the deletion of matching entries - Reorder nftables struct members, to keep data accessed by the datapath first - Introduce TC block ports tracking and use. This allows supporting multicast-like behavior at the TC layer - Remove UAPI support for retired TC qdiscs (dsmark, CBQ and ATM) and classifiers (RSVP and tcindex) - More data-race annotations - Extend the diag interface to dump TCP bound-only sockets - Conditional notification of events for TC qdisc class and actions - Support for WPAN dynamic associations with nearby devices, to form a sub-network using a specific PAN ID - Implement SMCv2.1 virtual ISM device support - Add support for Batman-avd mulicast packet type BPF: - Tons of verifier improvements: - BPF register bounds logic and range support along with a large test suite - log improvements - complete precision tracking support for register spills - track aligned STACK_ZERO cases as imprecise spilled registers. This improves the verifier "instructions processed" metric from single digit to 50-60% for some programs - support for user's global BPF subprogram arguments with few commonly requested annotations for a better developer experience - support tracking of BPF_JNE which helps cases when the compiler transforms (unsigned) "a > 0" into "if a == 0 goto xxx" and the like - several fixes - Add initial TX metadata implementation for AF_XDP with support in mlx5 and stmmac drivers. Two types of offloads are supported right now, that is, TX timestamp and TX checksum offload - Fix kCFI bugs in BPF all forms of indirect calls from BPF into kernel and from kernel into BPF work with CFI enabled. This allows BPF to work with CONFIG_FINEIBT=y - Change BPF verifier logic to validate global subprograms lazily instead of unconditionally before the main program, so they can be guarded using BPF CO-RE techniques - Support uid/gid options when mounting bpffs - Add a new kfunc which acquires the associated cgroup of a task within a specific cgroup v1 hierarchy where the latter is identified by its id - Extend verifier to allow bpf_refcount_acquire() of a map value field obtained via direct load which is a use-case needed in sched_ext - Add BPF link_info support for uprobe multi link along with bpftool integration for the latter - Support for VLAN tag in XDP hints - Remove deprecated bpfilter kernel leftovers given the project is developed in user-space (https://github.com/facebook/bpfilter) Misc: - Support for parellel TC self-tests execution - Increase MPTCP self-tests coverage - Updated the bridge documentation, including several so-far undocumented features - Convert all the net self-tests to run in unique netns, to avoid random failures due to conflict and allow concurrent runs - Add TCP-AO self-tests - Add kunit tests for both cfg80211 and mac80211 - Autogenerate Netlink families documentation from YAML spec - Add yml-gen support for fixed headers and recursive nests, the tool can now generate user-space code for all genetlink families for which we have specs - A bunch of additional module descriptions fixes - Catch incorrect freeing of pages belonging to a page pool Driver API: - Rust abstractions for network PHY drivers; do not cover yet the full C API, but already allow implementing functional PHY drivers in rust - Introduce queue and NAPI support in the netdev Netlink interface, allowing complete access to the device <> NAPIs <> queues relationship - Introduce notifications filtering for devlink to allow control application scale to thousands of instances - Improve PHY validation, requesting rate matching information for each ethtool link mode supported by both the PHY and host - Add support for ethtool symmetric-xor RSS hash - ACPI based Wifi band RFI (WBRF) mitigation feature for the AMD platform - Expose pin fractional frequency offset value over new DPLL generic netlink attribute - Convert older drivers to platform remove callback returning void - Add support for PHY package MMD read/write New hardware / drivers: - Ethernet: - Octeon CN10K devices - Broadcom 5760X P7 - Qualcomm SM8550 SoC - Texas Instrument DP83TG720S PHY - Bluetooth: - IMC Networks Bluetooth radio Removed: - WiFi: - libertas 16-bit PCMCIA support - Atmel at76c50x drivers - HostAP ISA/PCMCIA style 802.11b driver - zd1201 802.11b USB dongles - Orinoco ISA/PCMCIA 802.11b driver - Aviator/Raytheon driver - Planet WL3501 driver - RNDIS USB 802.11b driver Driver updates: - Ethernet high-speed NICs: - Intel (100G, ice, idpf): - allow one by one port representors creation and removal - add temperature and clock information reporting - add get/set for ethtool's header split ringparam - add again FW logging - adds support switchdev hardware packet mirroring - iavf: implement symmetric-xor RSS hash - igc: add support for concurrent physical and free-running timers - i40e: increase the allowable descriptors - nVidia/Mellanox: - Preparation for Socket-Direct multi-dev netdev.

We allow the stream of regulator events to be seen by userspace as netlink events and allow system integrators to describe individual regulators as system critical with information on how long the system is expected to last on error. The system level error handling is very much about best effort problem mitigation rather than providing something fully robust, the initial drive was to provide a mechanism for trying to avoid initiating any new writes to flash once we notice the power going out. Otherwise it's very quiet, mainly several new Qualcomm devices. - Support for marking regulators as system critical and providing information on how long the system might last with those regulators in a failure state, hooked into the existing critical shutdown error handling. - Optional support for generating netlink events for events, there are use cases for system monitoring UIs and error handling. - A command line option to leave unused controllable regulators enabled, useful for debugging.

| * | | zswap: memcontrol: implement zswap writeback disablingNhat Pham2023-12-302-0/+25
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | During our experiment with zswap, we sometimes observe swap IOs due to occasional zswap store failures and writebacks-to-swap. These swapping IOs prevent many users who cannot tolerate swapping from adopting zswap to save memory and improve performance where possible. This patch adds the option to disable this behavior entirely: do not writeback to backing swapping device when a zswap store attempt fail, and do not write pages in the zswap pool back to the backing swap device (both when the pool is full, and when the new zswap shrinker is called). This new behavior can be opted-in/out on a per-cgroup basis via a new cgroup file. By default, writebacks to swap device is enabled, which is the previous behavior. Initially, writeback is enabled for the root cgroup, and a newly created cgroup will inherit the current setting of its parent. Note that this is subtly different from setting memory.swap.max to 0, as it still allows for pages to be stored in the zswap pool (which itself consumes swap space in its current form). This patch should be applied on top of the zswap shrinker series: https://lore.kernel.org/linux-mm/20231130194023.4102148-1-nphamcs@gmail.com/ as it also disables the zswap shrinker, a major source of zswap writebacks. For the most part, this feature is motivated by internal parties who have already established their opinions regarding swapping - the workloads that are highly sensitive to IO, and especially those who are using servers with really slow disk performance (for instance, massive but slow HDDs). For these folks, it's impossible to convince them to even entertain zswap if swapping also comes as a packaged deal. Writeback disabling is quite a useful feature in these situations - on a mixed workloads deployment, they can disable writeback for the more IO-sensitive workloads, and enable writeback for other background workloads. For instance, on a server with HDD, I allocate memories and populate them with random values (so that zswap store will always fail), and specify memory.high low enough to trigger reclaim. The time it takes to allocate the memories and just read through it a couple of times (doing silly things like computing the values' average etc.): zswap.writeback disabled: real 0m30.537s user 0m23.687s sys 0m6.637s 0 pages swapped in 0 pages swapped out zswap.writeback enabled: real 0m45.061s user 0m24.310s sys 0m8.892s 712686 pages swapped in 461093 pages swapped out (the last two lines are from vmstat -s).

UFFDIO_COPY performs ~20% better than UFFDIO_MOVE when the application needs pages to be allocated [1]. However, with UFFDIO_MOVE, if pages are available (in userspace) for recycling, as is usually the case in heap compaction algorithms, then we can avoid the page allocation and memcpy (done by UFFDIO_COPY). Also, since the pages are recycled in the userspace, we avoid the need to release (via madvise) the pages back to the kernel [2]. We see over 40% reduction (on a Google pixel 6 device) in the compacting thread's completion time by using UFFDIO_MOVE vs. UFFDIO_COPY. This was measured using a benchmark that emulates a heap compaction implementation using userfaultfd (to allow concurrent accesses by application threads). More details of the usecase are explained in [2]. Furthermore, UFFDIO_MOVE enables moving swapped-out pages without touching them within the same vma. Today, it can only be done by mremap, however it forces splitting the vma. [1] https://lore.kernel.org/all/1425575884-2574-1-git-send-email-aarcange@redhat.com/ [2] https://lore.kernel.org/linux-mm/CA+EESO4uO84SSnBhArH4HvLNhaUQ5nZKNKXqxRCyjniNVjp0Aw@mail.gmail.com/ Update for the ioctl_userfaultfd(2) manpage: UFFDIO_MOVE (Since Linux xxx) Move a continuous memory chunk into the userfault registered range and optionally wake up the blocked thread. The source and destination addresses and the number of bytes to move are specified by the src, dst, and len fields of the uffdio_move structure pointed to by argp: struct uffdio_move { __u64 dst; /* Destination of move */ __u64 src; /* Source of move */ __u64 len; /* Number of bytes to move */ __u64 mode; /* Flags controlling behavior of move */ __s64 move; /* Number of bytes moved, or negated error */ }; The following value may be bitwise ORed in mode to change the behavior of the UFFDIO_MOVE operation: UFFDIO_MOVE_MODE_DONTWAKE Do not wake up the thread that waits for page-fault resolution UFFDIO_MOVE_MODE_ALLOW_SRC_HOLES Allow holes in the source virtual range that is being moved. When not specified, the holes will result in ENOENT error. When specified, the holes will be accounted as successfully moved memory. This is mostly useful to move hugepage aligned virtual regions without knowing if there are transparent hugepages in the regions or not, but preventing the risk of having to split the hugepage during the operation. The move field is used by the kernel to return the number of bytes that was actually moved, or an error (a negated errno- style value). If the value returned in move doesn't match the value that was specified in len, the operation fails with the error EAGAIN. The move field is output-only; it is not read by the UFFDIO_MOVE operation. The operation may fail for various reasons. Usually, remapping of pages that are not exclusive to the given process fail; once KSM might deduplicate pages or fork() COW-shares pages during fork() with child processes, they are no longer exclusive. Further, the kernel might only perform lightweight checks for detecting whether the pages are exclusive, and return -EBUSY in case that check fails. To make the operation more likely to succeed, KSM should be disabled, fork() should be avoided or MADV_DONTFORK should be configured for the source VMA before fork(). This ioctl(2) operation returns 0 on success. In this case, the entire area was moved. On error, -1 is returned and errno is set to indicate the error. Possible errors include: EAGAIN The number of bytes moved (i.e., the value returned in the move field) does not equal the value that was specified in the len field. EINVAL Either dst or len was not a multiple of the system page size, or the range specified by src and len or dst and len was invalid. EINVAL An invalid bit was specified in the mode field. ENOENT The source virtual memory range has unmapped holes and UFFDIO_MOVE_MODE_ALLOW_SRC_HOLES is not set. EEXIST The destination virtual memory range is fully or partially mapped. EBUSY The pages in the source virtual memory range are either pinned or not exclusive to the process. The kernel might only perform lightweight checks for detecting whether the pages are exclusive. To make the operation more likely to succeed, KSM should be disabled, fork() should be avoided or MADV_DONTFORK should be configured for the source virtual memory area before fork(). ENOMEM Allocating memory needed for the operation failed. ESRCH The target process has exited at the time of a UFFDIO_MOVE operation.

A new directory is added under transparent_hugepage for each supported THP size, and contains an `enabled` file, which can be set to "inherit" (to inherit the global setting), "always", "madvise" or "never". For now, the kernel still only supports PMD-sized anonymous THP, so only 1 directory is populated. The first half of the change converts transhuge_vma_suitable() and hugepage_vma_check() so that they take a bitfield of orders for which the user wants to determine support, and the functions filter out all the orders that can't be supported, given the current sysfs configuration and the VMA dimensions. The resulting functions are renamed to thp_vma_suitable_orders() and thp_vma_allowable_orders() respectively. Convenience functions that take a single, unencoded order and return a boolean are also defined as thp_vma_suitable_order() and thp_vma_allowable_order(). The second half of the change implements the new sysfs interface. It has been done so that each supported THP size has a `struct thpsize`, which describes the relevant metadata and is itself a kobject. This is pretty minimal for now, but should make it easy to add new per-thpsize files to the interface if needed in future (e.g. per-size defrag). Rather than keep the `enabled` state directly in the struct thpsize, I've elected to directly encode it into huge_anon_orders_[always|madvise|inherit] bitfields since this reduces the amount of work required in thp_vma_allowable_orders() which is called for every page fault. See Documentation/admin-guide/mm/transhuge.rst, as modified by this commit, for details of how the new sysfs interface works.
