mm: add gpu active/reclaim per-node stat counters (v2)
While discussing memcg intergration with gpu memory allocations, it was pointed out that there was no numa/system counters for GPU memory allocations. With more integrated memory GPU server systems turning up, and more requirements for memory tracking it seems we should start closing the gap. Add two counters to track GPU per-node system memory allocations. The first is currently allocated to GPU objects, and the second is for memory that is stored in GPU page pools that can be reclaimed, by the shrinker.

docs: filesystems: clarify KernelPageSize vs. MMUPageSize in smaps
There was recently some confusion around THPs and the interaction with KernelPageSize / MMUPageSize. Historically, these entries always correspond to the smallest size we could encounter, not any current usage of transparent huge pages or larger sizes used by the MMU. Ever since we added THP support many, many years ago, these entries would keep reporting the smallest (fallback) granularity in a VMA. For this reason, they default to PAGE_SIZE for all VMAs except for VMAs where we have the guarantee that the system and the MMU will always use larger page sizes. hugetlb, for example, exposes a custom vm_ops->pagesize callback to handle that. Similarly, dax/device exposes a custom vm_ops->pagesize callback and provides similar guarantees. Let's clarify the historical meaning of KernelPageSize / MMUPageSize, and point at "AnonHugePages", "ShmemPmdMapped" and "FilePmdMapped" regarding PMD entries. While at it, document "FilePmdMapped", clarify what the "AnonHugePages" and "ShmemPmdMapped" entries really mean, and make it clear that there are no other entries for other THP/folio sizes or mappings. Also drop the duplicate "KernelPageSize" and "MMUPageSize" entries in the example.

mm: introduce VM_MAYBE_GUARD and make visible in /proc/$pid/smaps
Patch series "introduce VM_MAYBE_GUARD and make it sticky", v4. Currently, guard regions are not visible to users except through /proc/$pid/pagemap, with no explicit visibility at the VMA level. This makes the feature less useful, as it isn't entirely apparent which VMAs may have these entries present, especially when performing actions which walk through memory regions such as those performed by CRIU. This series addresses this issue by introducing the VM_MAYBE_GUARD flag which fulfils this role, updating the smaps logic to display an entry for these. The semantics of this flag are that a guard region MAY be present if set (we cannot be sure, as we can't efficiently track whether an MADV_GUARD_REMOVE finally removes all the guard regions in a VMA) - but if not set the VMA definitely does NOT have any guard regions present. It's problematic to establish this flag without further action, because that means that VMAs with guard regions in them become non-mergeable with adjacent VMAs for no especially good reason. To work around this, this series also introduces the concept of 'sticky' VMA flags - that is flags which: a. if set in one VMA and not in another still permit those VMAs to be merged (if otherwise compatible). b. When they are merged, the resultant VMA must have the flag set. The VMA logic is updated to propagate these flags correctly. Additionally, VM_MAYBE_GUARD being an explicit VMA flag allows us to solve an issue with file-backed guard regions - previously these established an anon_vma object for file-backed mappings solely to have vma_needs_copy() correctly propagate guard region mappings to child processes. We introduce a new flag alias VM_COPY_ON_FORK (which currently only specifies VM_MAYBE_GUARD) and update vma_needs_copy() to check explicitly for this flag and to copy page tables if it is present, which resolves this issue. Additionally, we add the ability for allow-listed VMA flags to be atomically writable with only mmap/VMA read locks held. The only flag we allow so far is VM_MAYBE_GUARD, which we carefully ensure does not cause any races by being allowed to do so. This allows us to maintain guard region installation as a read-locked operation and not endure the overhead of obtaining a write lock here. Finally we introduce extensive VMA userland tests to assert that the sticky VMA logic behaves correctly as well as guard region self tests to assert that smaps visibility is correctly implemented. This patch (of 9): Currently, if a user needs to determine if guard regions are present in a range, they have to scan all VMAs (or have knowledge of which ones might have guard regions).

alloc_tag: mark inaccurate allocation counters in /proc/allocinfo output
While rare, memory allocation profiling can contain inaccurate counters if
slab object extension vector allocation fails. That allocation might
succeed later but prior to that, slab allocations that would have used
that object extension vector will not be accounted for. To indicate
incorrect counters, "accurate:no" marker is appended to the call site line
in the /proc/allocinfo output. Bump up /proc/allocinfo version to reflect
the change in the file format and update documentation.
Example output with invalid counters:

prctl: extend PR_SET_THP_DISABLE to optionally exclude VM_HUGEPAGE
Patch series "prctl: extend PR_SET_THP_DISABLE to only provide THPs when
advised", v5.
This will allow individual processes to opt-out of THP = "always" into THP
= "madvise", without affecting other workloads on the system. This has
been extensively discussed on the mailing list and has been summarized
very well by David in the first patch which also includes the links to
alternatives, please refer to the first patch commit message for the
motivation for this series.
Patch 1 adds the PR_THP_DISABLE_EXCEPT_ADVISED flag to implement this,
along with the MMF changes.
Patch 2 is a cleanup patch for tva_flags that will allow the forced
collapse case to be transmitted to vma_thp_disabled (which is done in
patch 3).
Patch 4 adds documentation for PR_SET_THP_DISABLE/PR_GET_THP_DISABLE.
Patches 6-7 implement the selftests for PR_SET_THP_DISABLE for completely
disabling THPs (old behaviour) and only enabling it at advise
(PR_THP_DISABLE_EXCEPT_ADVISED).
This patch (of 7):
People want to make use of more THPs, for example, moving from the "never"
system policy to "madvise", or from "madvise" to "always".
While this is great news for every THP desperately waiting to get
allocated out there, apparently there are some workloads that require a
bit of care during that transition: individual processes may need to
opt-out from this behavior for various reasons, and this should be
permitted without needing to make all other workloads on the system
similarly opt-out.
The following scenarios are imaginable:
(1) Switch from "none" system policy to "madvise"/"always", but keep THPs
disabled for selected workloads.
(2) Stay at "none" system policy, but enable THPs for selected
workloads, making only these workloads use the "madvise" or "always"
policy.
(3) Switch from "madvise" system policy to "always", but keep the
"madvise" policy for selected workloads: allocate THPs only when
advised.
(4) Stay at "madvise" system policy, but enable THPs even when not advised
for selected workloads -- "always" policy.
Once can emulate (2) through (1), by setting the system policy to
"madvise"/"always" while disabling THPs for all processes that don't want
THPs. It requires configuring all workloads, but that is a user-space
problem to sort out.
(4) can be emulated through (3) in a similar way.
Back when (1) was relevant in the past, as people started enabling THPs,
we added PR_SET_THP_DISABLE, so relevant workloads that were not ready yet
(i.e., used by Redis) were able to just disable THPs completely. Redis
still implements the option to use this interface to disable THPs
completely.
With PR_SET_THP_DISABLE, we added a way to force-disable THPs for a
workload -- a process, including fork+exec'ed process hierarchy. That
essentially made us support (1): simply disable THPs for all workloads
that are not ready for THPs yet, while still enabling THPs system-wide.
The quest for handling (3) and (4) started, but current approaches
(completely new prctl, options to set other policies per process,
alternatives to prctl -- mctrl, cgroup handling) don't look particularly
promising. Likely, the future will use bpf or something similar to
implement better policies, in particular to also make better decisions
about THP sizes to use, but this will certainly take a while as that work
just started.
Long story short: a simple enable/disable is not really suitable for the
future, so we're not willing to add completely new toggles.
While we could emulate (3)+(4) through (1)+(2) by simply disabling THPs
completely for these processes, this is a step backwards, because these
processes can no longer allocate THPs in regions where THPs were
explicitly advised: regions flagged as VM_HUGEPAGE. Apparently, that
imposes a problem for relevant workloads, because "not THPs" is certainly
worse than "THPs only when advised".
Could we simply relax PR_SET_THP_DISABLE, to "disable THPs unless not
explicitly advised by the app through MAD_HUGEPAGE"? *maybe*, but this
would change the documented semantics quite a bit, and the versatility to
use it for debugging purposes, so I am not 100% sure that is what we want
-- although it would certainly be much easier.
So instead, as an easy way forward for (3) and (4), add an option to
make PR_SET_THP_DISABLE disable *less* THPs for a process.
In essence, this patch:
(A) Adds PR_THP_DISABLE_EXCEPT_ADVISED, to be used as a flag in arg3
of prctl(PR_SET_THP_DISABLE) when disabling THPs (arg2 != 0).
prctl(PR_SET_THP_DISABLE, 1, PR_THP_DISABLE_EXCEPT_ADVISED).
(B) Makes prctl(PR_GET_THP_DISABLE) return 3 if
PR_THP_DISABLE_EXCEPT_ADVISED was set while disabling.
Previously, it would return 1 if THPs were disabled completely. Now
it returns the set flags as well: 3 if PR_THP_DISABLE_EXCEPT_ADVISED
was set.
(C) Renames MMF_DISABLE_THP to MMF_DISABLE_THP_COMPLETELY, to express
the semantics clearly.
Fortunately, there are only two instances outside of prctl() code.
(D) Adds MMF_DISABLE_THP_EXCEPT_ADVISED to express "no THP except for VMAs
with VM_HUGEPAGE" -- essentially "thp=madvise" behavior
Fortunately, we only have to extend vma_thp_disabled().
(E) Indicates "THP_enabled: 0" in /proc/pid/status only if THPs are
disabled completely
Only indicating that THPs are disabled when they are really disabled
completely, not only partially.
For now, we don't add another interface to obtained whether THPs
are disabled partially (PR_THP_DISABLE_EXCEPT_ADVISED was set). If
ever required, we could add a new entry.
The documented semantics in the man page for PR_SET_THP_DISABLE "is
inherited by a child created via fork(2) and is preserved across
execve(2)" is maintained. This behavior, for example, allows for
disabling THPs for a workload through the launching process (e.g., systemd
where we fork() a helper process to then exec()).
For now, MADV_COLLAPSE will *fail* in regions without VM_HUGEPAGE and
VM_NOHUGEPAGE. As MADV_COLLAPSE is a clear advise that user space thinks
a THP is a good idea, we'll enable that separately next (requiring a bit
of cleanup first).
There is currently not way to prevent that a process will not issue
PR_SET_THP_DISABLE itself to re-enable THP. There are not really known
users for re-enabling it, and it's against the purpose of the original
interface. So if ever required, we could investigate just forbidding to
re-enable them, or make this somehow configurable.

procfs: add "pidns" mount option
Since the introduction of pid namespaces, their interaction with procfs
has been entirely implicit in ways that require a lot of dancing around
by programs that need to construct sandboxes with different PID
namespaces.
Being able to explicitly specify the pid namespace to use when
constructing a procfs super block will allow programs to no longer need
to fork off a process which does then does unshare(2) / setns(2) and
forks again in order to construct a procfs in a pidns.
So, provide a "pidns" mount option which allows such users to just
explicitly state which pid namespace they want that procfs instance to
use. This interface can be used with fsconfig(2) either with a file
descriptor or a path:
fsconfig(procfd, FSCONFIG_SET_FD, "pidns", NULL, nsfd);
fsconfig(procfd, FSCONFIG_SET_STRING, "pidns", "/proc/self/ns/pid", 0);
or with classic mount(2) / mount(8):
// mount -t proc -o pidns=/proc/self/ns/pid proc /tmp/proc
mount("proc", "/tmp/proc", "proc", MS_..., "pidns=/proc/self/ns/pid");
As this new API is effectively shorthand for setns(2) followed by
mount(2), the permission model for this mirrors pidns_install() to avoid
opening up new attack surfaces by loosening the existing permission
model.
In order to avoid having to RCU-protect all users of proc_pid_ns() (to
avoid UAFs), attempting to reconfigure an existing procfs instance's pid
namespace will error out with -EBUSY. Creating new procfs instances is
quite cheap, so this should not be an impediment to most users, and lets
us avoid a lot of churn in fs/proc/* for a feature that it seems
unlikely userspace would use.

meminfo: add a per node counter for balloon drivers
Patch series "track memory used by balloon drivers", v2. This series introduces a way to track memory used by balloon drivers. Add a NR_BALLOON_PAGES counter to track how many pages are reclaimed by the balloon drivers. First add the accounting, then updates the balloon drivers (virtio, Hyper-V, VMware, Pseries-cmm, and Xen) to maintain this counter. The virtio, Vmware, and pseries-cmm balloon drivers utilize the balloon_compaction interface to allocate and free balloon pages. Other balloon drivers will have to maintain this counter manually. This makes the information visible in memory reporting interfaces like /proc/meminfo, show_mem, and OOM reporting. This provides admins visibility into their VM balloon sizes without requiring different virtualization tooling. Furthermore, this information is helpful when debugging an OOM inside a VM. This patch (of 4): Add NR_BALLOON_PAGES counter to track memory used by balloon drivers and expose it through /proc/meminfo and other memory reporting interfaces.

mm: stop maintaining the per-page mapcount of large folios (CONFIG_NO_PAGE_MAPCOUNT)
Everything is in place to stop using the per-page mapcounts in large
folios: the mapcount of tail pages will always be logically 0 (-1 value),
just like it currently is for hugetlb folios already, and the page
mapcount of the head page is either 0 (-1 value) or contains a page type
(e.g., hugetlb).
Maintaining _nr_pages_mapped without per-page mapcounts is impossible, so
that one also has to go with CONFIG_NO_PAGE_MAPCOUNT.
There are two remaining implications:
(1) Per-node, per-cgroup and per-lruvec stats of "NR_ANON_MAPPED"
("mapped anonymous memory") and "NR_FILE_MAPPED"
("mapped file memory"):
As soon as any page of the folio is mapped -- folio_mapped() -- we
now account the complete folio as mapped. Once the last page is
unmapped -- !folio_mapped() -- we account the complete folio as
unmapped.
This implies that ...
* "AnonPages" and "Mapped" in /proc/meminfo and
/sys/devices/system/node/*/meminfo
* cgroup v2: "anon" and "file_mapped" in "memory.stat" and
"memory.numa_stat"
* cgroup v1: "rss" and "mapped_file" in "memory.stat" and
"memory.numa_stat
... can now appear higher than before. But note that these folios do
consume that memory, simply not all pages are actually currently
mapped.
It's worth nothing that other accounting in the kernel (esp. cgroup
charging on allocation) is not affected by this change.
[why oh why is "anon" called "rss" in cgroup v1]
(2) Detecting partial mappings
Detecting whether anon THPs are partially mapped gets a bit more
unreliable. As long as a single MM maps such a large folio
("exclusively mapped"), we can reliably detect it. Especially before
fork() / after a short-lived child process quit, we will detect
partial mappings reliably, which is the common case.
In essence, if the average per-page mapcount in an anon THP is < 1,
we know for sure that we have a partial mapping.
However, as soon as multiple MMs are involved, we might miss detecting
partial mappings: this might be relevant with long-lived child
processes. If we have a fully-mapped anon folio before fork(), once
our child processes and our parent all unmap (zap/COW) the same pages
(but not the complete folio), we might not detect the partial mapping.
However, once the child processes quit we would detect the partial
mapping.
How relevant this case is in practice remains to be seen.
Swapout/migration will likely mitigate this.
In the future, RMAP walkers could check for that for that case
(e.g., when collecting access bits during reclaim) and simply flag
them for deferred-splitting.

fs/proc/task_mmu: remove per-page mapcount dependency for smaps/smaps_rollup (CONFIG_NO_PAGE_MAPCOUNT)
Let's implement an alternative when per-page mapcounts in large folios are
no longer maintained -- soon with CONFIG_NO_PAGE_MAPCOUNT.
When computing the output for smaps / smaps_rollups, in particular when
calculating the USS (Unique Set Size) and the PSS (Proportional Set Size),
we still rely on per-page mapcounts.
To determine private vs. shared, we'll use folio_likely_mapped_shared(),
similar to how we handle PM_MMAP_EXCLUSIVE. Similarly, we might now
under-estimate the USS and count pages towards "shared" that are actually
"private" ("exclusively mapped").
When calculating the PSS, we'll now also use the average per-page mapcount
for large folios: this can result in both, an over-estimation and an
under-estimation of the PSS. The difference is not expected to matter
much in practice, but we'll have to learn as we go.
We can now provide folio_precise_page_mapcount() only with
CONFIG_PAGE_MAPCOUNT, and remove one of the last users of per-page
mapcounts when CONFIG_NO_PAGE_MAPCOUNT is enabled.
Document the new behavior.

fs/proc/task_mmu: remove per-page mapcount dependency for "mapmax" (CONFIG_NO_PAGE_MAPCOUNT)
Let's implement an alternative when per-page mapcounts in large folios are no longer maintained -- soon with CONFIG_NO_PAGE_MAPCOUNT. For calculating "mapmax", we now use the average per-page mapcount in a large folio instead of the per-page mapcount. For hugetlb folios and folios that are not partially mapped into MMs, there is no change. Likely, this change will not matter much in practice, and an alternative might be to simple remove this stat with CONFIG_NO_PAGE_MAPCOUNT. However, there might be value to it, so let's keep it like that and document the behavior.

ksm: add ksm involvement information for each process
In /proc/<pid>/ksm_stat, add two extra ksm involvement items including
KSM_mergeable and KSM_merge_any. It helps administrators to better know
the system's KSM behavior at process level.
ksm_merge_any: yes/no
whether the process'mm is added by prctl() into the candidate list
of KSM or not, and fully enabled at process level.
ksm_mergeable: yes/no
whether any VMAs of the process'mm are currently applicable to KSM.
Purpose
=======
These two items are just to improve the observability of KSM at process
level, so that users can know if a certain process has enabled KSM.
For example, if without these two items, when we look at
/proc/<pid>/ksm_stat and there's no merging pages found, We are not sure
whether it is because KSM was not enabled or because KSM did not
successfully merge any pages.
Although "mg" in /proc/<pid>/smaps indicate VM_MERGEABLE, it's opaque
and not very obvious for non professionals.

lib: add allocation tagging support for memory allocation profiling
Introduce CONFIG_MEM_ALLOC_PROFILING which provides definitions to easily instrument memory allocators. It registers an "alloc_tags" codetag type with /proc/allocinfo interface to output allocation tag information when the feature is enabled. CONFIG_MEM_ALLOC_PROFILING_DEBUG is provided for debugging the memory allocation profiling instrumentation. Memory allocation profiling can be enabled or disabled at runtime using /proc/sys/vm/mem_profiling sysctl when CONFIG_MEM_ALLOC_PROFILING_DEBUG=n. CONFIG_MEM_ALLOC_PROFILING_ENABLED_BY_DEFAULT enables memory allocation profiling by default.

iommu: account IOMMU allocated memory
In order to be able to limit the amount of memory that is allocated by IOMMU subsystem, the memory must be accounted. Account IOMMU as part of the secondary pagetables as it was discussed at LPC. The value of SecPageTables now contains mmeory allocation by IOMMU and KVM. There is a difference between GFP_ACCOUNT and what NR_IOMMU_PAGES shows. GFP_ACCOUNT is set only where it makes sense to charge to user processes, i.e. IOMMU Page Tables, but there more IOMMU shared data that should not really be charged to a specific process.

mm: thp: introduce multi-size THP sysfs interface
In preparation for adding support for anonymous multi-size THP, introduce new sysfs structure that will be used to control the new behaviours. 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.

proc/ksm: add ksm stats to /proc/pid/smaps
With madvise and prctl KSM can be enabled for different VMA's. Once it is enabled we can query how effective KSM is overall. However we cannot easily query if an individual VMA benefits from KSM. This commit adds a KSM section to the /prod/<pid>/smaps file. It reports how many of the pages are KSM pages. Note that KSM-placed zeropages are not included, only actual KSM pages. Here is a typical output: 7f420a000000-7f421a000000 rw-p 00000000 00:00 0 Size: 262144 kB KernelPageSize: 4 kB MMUPageSize: 4 kB Rss: 51212 kB Pss: 8276 kB Shared_Clean: 172 kB Shared_Dirty: 42996 kB Private_Clean: 196 kB Private_Dirty: 7848 kB Referenced: 15388 kB Anonymous: 51212 kB KSM: 41376 kB LazyFree: 0 kB AnonHugePages: 0 kB ShmemPmdMapped: 0 kB FilePmdMapped: 0 kB Shared_Hugetlb: 0 kB Private_Hugetlb: 0 kB Swap: 202016 kB SwapPss: 3882 kB Locked: 0 kB THPeligible: 0 ProtectionKey: 0 ksm_state: 0 ksm_skip_base: 0 ksm_skip_count: 0 VmFlags: rd wr mr mw me nr mg anon This information also helps with the following workflow: - First enable KSM for all the VMA's of a process with prctl. - Then analyze with the above smaps report which VMA's benefit the most - Change the application (if possible) to add the corresponding madvise calls for the VMA's that benefit the most [shr@devkernel.io: v5] Link: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20230823170107.1457915-1-shr@devkernel.io Link: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20230822180539.1424843-1-shr@devkernel.io Signed-off-by: Stefan Roesch <shr@devkernel.io> Reviewed-by: David Hildenbrand <david@redhat.com> Cc: Johannes Weiner <hannes@cmpxchg.org> Cc: Rik van Riel <riel@surriel.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> |

Pull x86 shadow stack support from Dave Hansen: "This is the long awaited x86 shadow stack support, part of Intel's Control-flow Enforcement Technology (CET). CET consists of two related security features: shadow stacks and indirect branch tracking. This series implements just the shadow stack part of this feature, and just for userspace. The main use case for shadow stack is providing protection against return oriented programming attacks. It works by maintaining a secondary (shadow) stack using a special memory type that has protections against modification. When executing a CALL instruction, the processor pushes the return address to both the normal stack and to the special permission shadow stack. Upon RET, the processor pops the shadow stack copy and compares it to the normal stack copy.

mm: Introduce VM_SHADOW_STACK for shadow stack memory
New hardware extensions implement support for shadow stack memory, such as x86 Control-flow Enforcement Technology (CET). Add a new VM flag to identify these areas, for example, to be used to properly indicate shadow stack PTEs to the hardware. Shadow stack VMA creation will be tightly controlled and limited to anonymous memory to make the implementation simpler and since that is all that is required. The solution will rely on pte_mkwrite() to create the shadow stack PTEs, so it will not be required for vm_get_page_prot() to learn how to create shadow stack memory. For this reason document that VM_SHADOW_STACK should not be mixed with VM_SHARED.
