* docs: process: Add base-commit trailer usageKonstantin Ryabitsev2019-11-071-1/+52
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | One of the recurring complaints from both maintainers and CI system operators is that performing git-am on received patches is difficult without knowing the parent object in the git history on which the patches are based. Without this information, there is a high likelihood that git-am will fail due to conflicts, which is particularly frustrating to CI operators. Git versions starting with v2.9.0 are able to automatically include base-commit information using the --base flag of git-format-patch. Document this usage in process/submitting-patches, and add the rationale for its inclusion, plus instructions for those not using git on where the "base-commit:" trailer should go.

* kernel-doc: rename the kernel-doc directive 'functions' to 'identifiers'Changbin Du2019-11-072-19/+27
| | | | | | | | | | | The 'functions' directive is not only for functions, but also works for structs/unions. So the name is misleading. This patch renames it to 'identifiers', which specific the functions/types to be included in documentation. We keep the old name as an alias of the new one before all documentation are updated.

KASAN would also like to do this [1] to improve error reports to debug e.g. UAF issues. Kirill has suggested that the freeing stack trace saving should be also possible to be enabled separately from KASAN or debug_pagealloc, i.e. with an extra boot option. Qian argued that we have enough options already, and avoiding the extra overhead is not worth the complications in the case of a debugging option. Kirill noted that the extra stack handle in struct page_owner requires 0.1% of memory. This patch therefore enables free stack saving whenever page_owner is enabled, regardless of whether debug_pagealloc or KASAN is also enabled. KASAN kernels booted with page_owner=on will thus benefit from the improved error reports.

This means that any notifier that is supposed to be called later as well as significant part of panic() code (such as pstore writes from kmsg_dump()) is never executed. There is no reason for xen_panic_event() to be this last point in execution since panic()'s emergency_restart() will call into xen_emergency_restart() from where we can perform our hypercall. Nevertheless, we will provide xen_legacy_crash boot option that will preserve original behavior during crash. This option could be used, for example, if running kernel dumper (which happens after panic notifiers) is undesirable.

The bulk of the fixes are dealing with a bunch of issues with the build system from the compat vDSO, which unfortunately led to some significant Makefile rework to manage the horrible combinations of toolchains that we can end up needing to drive simultaneously. We came close to disabling the thing entirely, but Vincenzo was quick to spin up some patches and I ended up picking up most of the bits that were left [*]. Future work will look at disentangling the header files properly. Other than that, we have some important fixes all over, including one papering over the miscompilation fallout from forcing CONFIG_OPTIMIZE_INLINING=y, which I'm still unhappy about. Harumph. We've still got a couple of open issues, so I'm expecting to have some more fixes later this cycle.

That means some kmalloc() users might unknowingly rely on that alignment, until stuff breaks when the kernel is built with e.g. CONFIG_SLUB_DEBUG or CONFIG_SLOB, and blocks stop being aligned. Then developers have to devise workaround such as own kmem caches with specified alignment [1], which is not always practical, as recently evidenced in [2]. The topic has been discussed at LSF/MM 2019 [3]. Adding a 'kmalloc_aligned()' variant would not help with code unknowingly relying on the implicit alignment. For slab implementations it would either require creating more kmalloc caches, or allocate a larger size and only give back part of it. That would be wasteful, especially with a generic alignment parameter (in contrast with a fixed alignment to size). Ideally we should provide to mm users what they need without difficult workarounds or own reimplementations, so let's make the kmalloc() alignment to size explicitly guaranteed for power-of-two sizes under all configurations. What this means for the three available allocators? * SLAB object layout happens to be mostly unchanged by the patch. The implicitly provided alignment could be compromised with CONFIG_DEBUG_SLAB due to redzoning, however SLAB disables redzoning for caches with alignment larger than unsigned long long. Practically on at least x86 this includes kmalloc caches as they use cache line alignment, which is larger than that. Still, this patch ensures alignment on all arches and cache sizes. * SLUB layout is also unchanged unless redzoning is enabled through CONFIG_SLUB_DEBUG and boot parameter for the particular kmalloc cache. With this patch, explicit alignment is guaranteed with redzoning as well. This will result in more memory being wasted, but that should be acceptable in a debugging scenario. * SLOB has no implicit alignment so this patch adds it explicitly for kmalloc(). The potential downside is increased fragmentation. While pathological allocation scenarios are certainly possible, in my testing, after booting a x86_64 kernel+userspace with virtme, around 16MB memory was consumed by slab pages both before and after the patch, with difference in the noise.

While they generally do what they say on the tin, there is a limitation in their implementation that makes them difficult to use effectively: that cliff behaviour often manifests when they become eligible for reclaim. This patch implements more intuitive and usable behaviour, where we gradually mount more reclaim pressure as cgroups further and further exceed their protection thresholds. This cliff edge behaviour happens because we only choose whether or not to reclaim based on whether the memcg is within its protection limits (see the use of mem_cgroup_protected in shrink_node), but we don't vary our reclaim behaviour based on this information. Imagine the following timeline, with the numbers the lruvec size in this zone: 1. memory.low=1000000, memory.current=999999. 0 pages may be scanned. 2. memory.low=1000000, memory.current=1000000. 0 pages may be scanned. 3. memory.low=1000000, memory.current=1000001. 1000001* pages may be scanned. (?!) * Of course, we won't usually scan all available pages in the zone even without this patch because of scan control priority, over-reclaim protection, etc. However, as shown by the tests at the end, these techniques don't sufficiently throttle such an extreme change in input, so cliff-like behaviour isn't really averted by their existence alone. Here's an example of how this plays out in practice. At Facebook, we are trying to protect various workloads from "system" software, like configuration management tools, metric collectors, etc (see this[0] case study). In order to find a suitable memory.low value, we start by determining the expected memory range within which the workload will be comfortable operating. This isn't an exact science -- memory usage deemed "comfortable" will vary over time due to user behaviour, differences in composition of work, etc, etc. As such we need to ballpark memory.low, but doing this is currently problematic: 1. If we end up setting it too low for the workload, it won't have *any* effect (see discussion above). The group will receive the full weight of reclaim and won't have any priority while competing with the less important system software, as if we had no memory.low configured at all. 2. Because of this behaviour, we end up erring on the side of setting it too high, such that the comfort range is reliably covered. However, protected memory is completely unavailable to the rest of the system, so we might cause undue memory and IO pressure there when we *know* we have some elasticity in the workload. 3. Even if we get the value totally right, smack in the middle of the comfort zone, we get extreme jumps between no pressure and full pressure that cause unpredictable pressure spikes in the workload due to the current binary reclaim behaviour. With this patch, we can set it to our ballpark estimation without too much worry. Any undesirable behaviour, such as too much or too little reclaim pressure on the workload or system will be proportional to how far our estimation is off. This means we can set memory.low much more conservatively and thus waste less resources *without* the risk of the workload falling off a cliff if we overshoot. As a more abstract technical description, this unintuitive behaviour results in having to give high-priority workloads a large protection buffer on top of their expected usage to function reliably, as otherwise we have abrupt periods of dramatically increased memory pressure which hamper performance. Having to set these thresholds so high wastes resources and generally works against the principle of work conservation. In addition, having proportional memory reclaim behaviour has other benefits. Most notably, before this patch it's basically mandatory to set memory.low to a higher than desirable value because otherwise as soon as you exceed memory.low, all protection is lost, and all pages are eligible to scan again. By contrast, having a gradual ramp in reclaim pressure means that you now still get some protection when thresholds are exceeded, which means that one can now be more comfortable setting memory.low to lower values without worrying that all protection will be lost. This is important because workingset size is really hard to know exactly, especially with variable workloads, so at least getting *some* protection if your workingset size grows larger than you expect increases user confidence in setting memory.low without a huge buffer on top being needed. Thanks a lot to Johannes Weiner and Tejun Heo for their advice and assistance in thinking about how to make this work better. In testing these changes, I intended to verify that: 1. Changes in page scanning become gradual and proportional instead of binary. To test this, I experimented stepping further and further down memory.low protection on a workload that floats around 19G workingset when under memory.low protection, watching page scan rates for the workload cgroup: +------------+-----------------+--------------------+--------------+ | memory.low | test (pgscan/s) | control (pgscan/s) | % of control | +------------+-----------------+--------------------+--------------+ | 21G | 0 | 0 | N/A | | 17G | 867 | 3799 | 23% | | 12G | 1203 | 3543 | 34% | | 8G | 2534 | 3979 | 64% | | 4G | 3980 | 4147 | 96% | | 0 | 3799 | 3980 | 95% | +------------+-----------------+--------------------+--------------+ As you can see, the test kernel (with a kernel containing this patch) ramps up page scanning significantly more gradually than the control kernel (without this patch). 2. More gradual ramp up in reclaim aggression doesn't result in premature OOMs. To test this, I wrote a script that slowly increments the number of pages held by stress(1)'s --vm-keep mode until a production system entered severe overall memory contention. This script runs in a highly protected slice taking up the majority of available system memory. Watching vmstat revealed that page scanning continued essentially nominally between test and control, without causing forward reclaim progress to become arrested.

The archive containing the header files has nondeterminism caused by header files metadata. This patch normalizes the metadata and utilizes KBUILD_BUILD_TIMESTAMP if provided and otherwise falls back to the default behaviour. In commit f7b101d33046 ("kheaders: Move from proc to sysfs") it was modified to use sysfs and the script for generation of the archive was renamed to what is being patched.
