* proc: revert /proc/<pid>/maps [stack:TID] annotationJohannes Weiner2016-02-031-6/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Commit b76437579d13 ("procfs: mark thread stack correctly in proc/<pid>/maps") added [stack:TID] annotation to /proc/<pid>/maps. Finding the task of a stack VMA requires walking the entire thread list, turning this into quadratic behavior: a thousand threads means a thousand stacks, so the rendering of /proc/<pid>/maps needs to look at a million combinations. The cost is not in proportion to the usefulness as described in the patch. Drop the [stack:TID] annotation to make /proc/<pid>/maps (and /proc/<pid>/numa_maps) usable again for higher thread counts. The [stack] annotation inside /proc/<pid>/task/<tid>/maps is retained, as identifying the stack VMA there is an O(1) operation. Siddesh said: "The end users needed a way to identify thread stacks programmatically and there wasn't a way to do that. I'm afraid I no longer remember (or have access to the resources that would aid my memory since I changed employers) the details of their requirement. However, I did do this on my own time because I thought it was an interesting project for me and nobody really gave any feedback then as to its utility, so as far as I am concerned you could roll back the main thread maps information since the information is available in the thread-specific files" Signed-off-by: Johannes Weiner <hannes@cmpxchg.org> Cc: "Kirill A.

| * | mm, procfs: breakdown RSS for anon, shmem and file in /proc/pid/statusJerome Marchand2016-01-151-2/+11
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | There are several shortcomings with the accounting of shared memory (SysV shm, shared anonymous mapping, mapping of a tmpfs file). The values in /proc/<pid>/status and <...>/statm don't allow to distinguish between shmem memory and a shared mapping to a regular file, even though theirs implication on memory usage are quite different: during reclaim, file mapping can be dropped or written back on disk, while shmem needs a place in swap. Also, to distinguish the memory occupied by anonymous and file mappings, one has to read the /proc/pid/statm file, which has a field for the file mappings (again, including shmem) and total memory occupied by these mappings (i.e. equivalent to VmRSS in the <...>/status file. Getting the value for anonymous mappings only is thus not exactly user-friendly (the statm file is intended to be rather efficiently machine-readable). To address both of these shortcomings, this patch adds a breakdown of VmRSS in /proc/<pid>/status via new fields RssAnon, RssFile and RssShmem, making use of the previous preparatory patch. These fields tell the user the memory occupied by private anonymous pages, mapped regular files and shmem, respectively. Other existing fields in /status and /statm files are left without change. The /statm file can be extended in the future, if there's a need for that. Example (part of) /proc/pid/status output including the new Rss* fields: VmPeak: 2001008 kB VmSize: 2001004 kB VmLck: 0 kB VmPin: 0 kB VmHWM: 5108 kB VmRSS: 5108 kB RssAnon: 92 kB RssFile: 1324 kB RssShmem: 3692 kB VmData: 192 kB VmStk: 136 kB VmExe: 4 kB VmLib: 1784 kB VmPTE: 3928 kB VmPMD: 20 kB VmSwap: 0 kB HugetlbPages: 0 kB [vbabka@suse.cz: forward-porting, tweak changelog] Signed-off-by: Jerome Marchand <jmarchan@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Vlastimil Babka <vbabka@suse.cz> Acked-by: Konstantin Khlebnikov <khlebnikov@yandex-team.ru> Acked-by: Michal Hocko <mhocko@suse.com> Acked-by: Hugh Dickins <hughd@google.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
| * | mm, proc: account for shmem swap in /proc/pid/smapsVlastimil Babka2016-01-151-1/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Currently, /proc/pid/smaps will always show "Swap: 0 kB" for shmem-backed mappings, even if the mapped portion does contain pages that were swapped out. This is because unlike private anonymous mappings, shmem does not change pte to swap entry, but pte_none when swapping the page out. In the smaps page walk, such page thus looks like it was never faulted in. This patch changes smaps_pte_entry() to determine the swap status for such pte_none entries for shmem mappings, similarly to how mincore_page() does it. Swapped out shmem pages are thus accounted for. For private mappings of tmpfs files that COWed some of the pages, swaped out status of the original shmem pages is naturally ignored. If some of the private copies was also swapped out, they are accounted via their page table swap entries, so the resulting reported swap usage is then a sum of both swapped out private copies, and swapped out shmem pages that were not COWed. No double accounting can thus happen. The accounting is arguably still not as precise as for private anonymous mappings, since now we will count also pages that the process in question never accessed, but another process populated them and then let them become swapped out. I believe it is still less confusing and subtle than not showing any swap usage by shmem mappings at all. Swapped out counter might of interest of users who would like to prevent from future swapins during performance critical operation and pre-fault them at their convenience. Especially for larger swapped out regions the cost of swapin is much higher than a fresh page allocation. So a differentiation between pte_none vs. swapped out is important for those usecases. One downside of this patch is that it makes /proc/pid/smaps more expensive for shmem mappings, as we consult the radix tree for each pte_none entry, so the overal complexity is O(n*log(n)). I have measured this on a process that creates a 2GB mapping and dirties single pages with a stride of 2MB, and time how long does it take to cat /proc/pid/smaps of this process 100 times. Private anonymous mapping: real 0m0.949s user 0m0.116s sys 0m0.348s Mapping of a /dev/shm/file: real 0m3.831s user 0m0.180s sys 0m3.212s The difference is rather substantial, so the next patch will reduce the cost for shared or read-only mappings. In a less controlled experiment, I've gathered pids of processes on my desktop that have either '/dev/shm/*' or 'SYSV*' in smaps. This included the Chrome browser and some KDE processes. Again, I've run cat /proc/pid/smaps on each 100 times. Before this patch: real 0m9.050s user 0m0.518s sys 0m8.066s After this patch: real 0m9.221s user 0m0.541s sys 0m8.187s This suggests low impact on average systems. Note that this patch doesn't attempt to adjust the SwapPss field for shmem mappings, which would need extra work to determine who else could have the pages mapped. Thus the value stays zero except for COWed swapped out pages in a shmem mapping, which are accounted as usual.

| * | mm, documentation: clarify /proc/pid/status VmSwap limitations for shmemVlastimil Babka2016-01-151-1/+2

The values in /proc/<pid>/status and statm don't allow to distinguish between shmem memory and a shared mapping to a regular file, even though their implications on memory usage are quite different: at reclaim, file mapping can be dropped or written back on disk while shmem needs a place in swap. As for shmem pages that are swapped-out or in swap cache, they aren't accounted at all. The original motivation for myself is that a customer found (IMHO rightfully) confusing that e.g. top output for process swap usage is unreliable with respect to swapped out shmem pages, which are not accounted for. The fundamental difference between private anonymous and shmem pages is that the latter has PTE's converted to pte_none, and not swapents. As such, they are not accounted to the number of swapents visible e.g. in /proc/pid/status VmSwap row. It might be theoretically possible to use swapents when swapping out shmem (without extra cost, as one has to change all mappers anyway), and on swap in only convert the swapent for the faulting process, leaving swapents in other processes until they also fault (so again no extra cost). But I don't know how many assumptions this would break, and it would be too disruptive change for a relatively small benefit. Instead, my approach is to document the limitation of VmSwap, and provide means to determine the swap usage for shmem areas for those who are interested and willing to pay the price, using /proc/pid/smaps. Because outside of ipcs, I don't think it's possible to currently to determine the usage at all. The previous patchset [1] did introduce new shmem-specific fields into smaps output, and functions to determine the values. I take a simpler approach, noting that smaps output already has a "Swap: X kB" line, where currently X == 0 always for shmem areas. I think we can just consider this a bug and provide the proper value by consulting the radix tree, as e.g. mincore_page() does. In the patch changelog I explain why this is also not perfect (and cannot be without swapents), but still arguably much better than showing a 0. The last two patches are adapted from Jerome's patchset and provide a VmRSS breakdown to RssAnon, RssFile and RssShm in /proc/pid/status. Hugh noted that this is a welcome addition, and I agree that it might help e.g. debugging process memory usage at albeit non-zero, but still rather low cost of extra per-mm counter and some page flag checks. [1] http://lwn.net/Articles/611966/ This patch (of 6): The documentation for /proc/pid/status does not mention that the value of VmSwap counts only swapped out anonymous private pages, and not swapped out pages of the underlying shmem objects (for shmem mappings). This is not obvious, so document this limitation.

Note, there are further improvements in-flight from other folks for v4.5 code in configfs land, plus number of target fixes for post -rc1 code" In the meantime, a new user of the now-removed old configfs API came in through the char/misc tree in commit 7bd1d4093c2f ("stm class: Introduce an abstraction for System Trace Module devices"). This merge resolution comes from Alexander Shishkin, who updated his stm class tracing abstraction to account for the removal of the old show_attribute and store_attribute methods in commit 517982229f78 ("configfs: remove old API") from this pull. As Alexander says about that patch: "There's no need to keep an extra wrapper structure per item and the awkward show_attribute/store_attribute item ops are no longer needed. This patch converts policy code to the new api, all the while making the code quite a bit smaller and easier on the eyes. Signed-off-by: Alexander Shishkin <alexander.shishkin@linux.intel.com>" That patch was folded into the merge so that the tree should be fully bisectable. * 'for-next' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/nab/target-pending: (23 commits) configfs: remove old API ocfs2/cluster: use per-attribute show and store methods ocfs2/cluster: move locking into attribute store methods netconsole: use per-attribute show and store methods target: use per-attribute show and store methods spear13xx_pcie_gadget: use per-attribute show and store methods dlm: use per-attribute show and store methods usb-gadget/f_serial: use per-attribute show and store methods usb-gadget/f_phonet: use per-attribute show and store methods usb-gadget/f_obex: use per-attribute show and store methods usb-gadget/f_uac2: use per-attribute show and store methods usb-gadget/f_uac1: use per-attribute show and store methods usb-gadget/f_mass_storage: use per-attribute show and store methods usb-gadget/f_sourcesink: use per-attribute show and store methods usb-gadget/f_printer: use per-attribute show and store methods usb-gadget/f_midi: use per-attribute show and store methods usb-gadget/f_loopback: use per-attribute show and store methods usb-gadget/ether: use per-attribute show and store methods usb-gadget/f_acm: use per-attribute show and store methods usb-gadget/f_hid: use per-attribute show and store methods ...

| |/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Add two new flags to the existing coredump mechanism for ELF files to allow us to explicitly filter DAX mappings. This is desirable because DAX mappings, like hugetlb mappings, have the potential to be very large. Update the coredump_filter documentation in Documentation/filesystems/proc.txt so that it addresses the new DAX coredump flags. Also update the documented default value of coredump_filter to be consistent with the core(5) man page. The documentation being updated talks about bit 4, Dump ELF headers, which is enabled if CONFIG_CORE_DUMP_DEFAULT_ELF_HEADERS is turned on in the kernel config. This kernel config option defaults to "y" if both ELF binaries and coredump are enabled.

The example of "Locked: 374 kB" (the same as Pss, neither Rss nor Size) is so unlikely as to be misleading: just make it 0, this is /bin/bash text; which would be "dw" (disabled write) not "de" (do not expand).

| * | ipconfig: send Client-identifier in DHCP requestsLi RongQing2015-10-191-0/+3
| |/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | A dhcp server may provide parameters to a client from a pool of IP addresses and using a shared rootfs, or provide a specific set of parameters for a specific client, usually using the MAC address to identify each client individually. The dhcp protocol also specifies a client-id field which can be used to determine the correct parameters to supply when no MAC address is available. There is currently no way to tell the kernel to supply a specific client-id, only the userspace dhcp clients support this feature, but this can not be used when the network is needed before userspace is available such as when the root filesystem is on NFS. This patch is to be able to do something like "ip=dhcp,client_id_type, client_id_value", as a kernel parameter to enable the kernel to identify itself to the server.

* / fs/proc, core/debug: Don't expose absolute kernel addresses via wchanIngo Molnar2015-10-011-2/+3
|/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | So the /proc/PID/stat 'wchan' field (the 30th field, which contains the absolute kernel address of the kernel function a task is blocked in) leaks absolute kernel addresses to unprivileged user-space: seq_put_decimal_ull(m, ' ', wchan); The absolute address might also leak via /proc/PID/wchan as well, if KALLSYMS is turned off or if the symbol lookup fails for some reason: static int proc_pid_wchan(struct seq_file *m, struct pid_namespace *ns, struct pid *pid, struct task_struct *task) { unsigned long wchan; char symname[KSYM_NAME_LEN]; wchan = get_wchan(task); if (lookup_symbol_name(wchan, symname) < 0) { if (!ptrace_may_access(task, PTRACE_MODE_READ)) return 0; seq_printf(m, "%lu", wchan); } else { seq_printf(m, "%s", symname); } return 0; } This isn't ideal, because for example it trivially leaks the KASLR offset to any local attacker: fomalhaut:~> printf "%016lx\n" $(cat /proc/$$/stat | cut -d' ' -f35) ffffffff8123b380 Most real-life uses of wchan are symbolic: ps -eo pid:10,tid:10,wchan:30,comm and procps uses /proc/PID/wchan, not the absolute address in /proc/PID/stat: triton:~/tip> strace -f ps -eo pid:10,tid:10,wchan:30,comm 2>&1 | grep wchan | tail -1 open("/proc/30833/wchan", O_RDONLY) = 6 There's one compatibility quirk here: procps relies on whether the absolute value is non-zero - and we can provide that functionality by outputing "0" or "1" depending on whether the task is blocked (whether there's a wchan address). These days there appears to be very little legitimate reason user-space would be interested in the absolute address. The absolute address is mostly historic: from the days when we didn't have kallsyms and user-space procps had to do the decoding itself via the System.map. So this patch sets all numeric output to "0" or "1" and keeps only symbolic output, in /proc/PID/wchan. ( The absolute sleep address can generally still be profiled via perf, by tasks with sufficient privileges. ) Reviewed-by: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de> Acked-by: Kees Cook <keescook@chromium.org> Acked-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org> Cc: <stable@vger.kernel.org> Cc: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk> Cc: Alexander Potapenko <glider@google.com> Cc: Andrey Konovalov <andreyknvl@google.com> Cc: Andrey Ryabinin <ryabinin.a.a@gmail.com> Cc: Andy Lutomirski <luto@amacapital.net> Cc: Andy Lutomirski <luto@kernel.org> Cc: Borislav Petkov <bp@alien8.de> Cc: Denys Vlasenko <dvlasenk@redhat.com> Cc: Dmitry Vyukov <dvyukov@google.com> Cc: Kostya Serebryany <kcc@google.com> Cc: Mike Galbraith <efault@gmx.de> Cc: Peter Zijlstra <a.p.zijlstra@chello.nl> Cc: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@infradead.org> Cc: Sasha Levin <sasha.levin@oracle.com> Cc: kasan-dev <kasan-dev@googlegroups.com> Cc: linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20150930135917.GA3285@gmail.com Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@kernel.org>

On such system, if there are lots of shared anonymous pages, it's really hard to figure out exactly how many each process consumes memory(ie, rss + wap) if the system has lots of shared anonymous memory(e.g, android). This patch introduces SwapPss field on /proc/<pid>/smaps so we can get more exact workingset size per process. Bongkyu tested it.

The changes outside of the typical drivers/nvdimm/ and drivers/acpi/nfit.[ch] paths are related to the removal of IORESOURCE_CACHEABLE, the introduction of memremap(), and the introduction of ZONE_DEVICE + devm_memremap_pages(). Summary: - Introduce ZONE_DEVICE and devm_memremap_pages() as a generic mechanism for adding device-driver-discovered memory regions to the kernel's direct map. This facility is used by the pmem driver to enable pfn_to_page() operations on the page frames returned by DAX ('direct_access' in 'struct block_device_operations'). For now, the 'memmap' allocation for these "device" pages comes from "System RAM". Support for allocating the memmap from device memory will arrive in a later kernel. - Introduce memremap() to replace usages of ioremap_cache() and ioremap_wt(). memremap() drops the __iomem annotation for these mappings to memory that do not have i/o side effects. The replacement of ioremap_cache() with memremap() is limited to the pmem driver to ease merging the api change in v4.3. Completion of the conversion is targeted for v4.4. - Similar to the usage of memcpy_to_pmem() + wmb_pmem() in the pmem driver, update the VFS DAX implementation and PMEM api to provide persistence guarantees for kernel operations on a DAX mapping. - Convert the ACPI NFIT 'BLK' driver to map the block apertures as cacheable to improve performance. - Miscellaneous updates and fixes to libnvdimm including support for issuing "address range scrub" commands, clarifying the optimal 'sector size' of pmem devices, a clarification of the usage of the ACPI '_STA' (status) property for DIMM devices, and other minor fixes" * tag 'libnvdimm-for-4.3' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/nvdimm/nvdimm: (34 commits) libnvdimm, pmem: direct map legacy pmem by default libnvdimm, pmem: 'struct page' for pmem libnvdimm, pfn: 'struct page' provider infrastructure x86, pmem: clarify that ARCH_HAS_PMEM_API implies PMEM mapped WB add devm_memremap_pages mm: ZONE_DEVICE for "device memory" mm: move __phys_to_pfn and __pfn_to_phys to asm/generic/memory_model.h dax: drop size parameter to ->direct_access() nd_blk: change aperture mapping from WC to WB nvdimm: change to use generic kvfree() pmem, dax: have direct_access use __pmem annotation dax: update I/O path to do proper PMEM flushing pmem: add copy_from_iter_pmem() and clear_pmem() pmem, x86: clean up conditional pmem includes pmem: remove layer when calling arch_has_wmb_pmem() pmem, x86: move x86 PMEM API to new pmem.h header libnvdimm, e820: make CONFIG_X86_PMEM_LEGACY a tristate option pmem: switch to devm_ allocations devres: add devm_memremap libnvdimm, btt: write and validate parent_uuid ...
