mm: introduce MADV_PAGEOUT

2019-09-26T00:51:41Z

When a process expects no accesses to a certain memory range for a long time, it could hint kernel that the pages can be reclaimed instantly but data should be preserved for future use. This could reduce workingset eviction so it ends up increasing performance. This patch introduces the new MADV_PAGEOUT hint to madvise(2) syscall. MADV_PAGEOUT can be used by a process to mark a memory range as not expected to be used for a long time so that kernel reclaims *any LRU* pages instantly. The hint can help kernel in deciding which pages to evict proactively. A note: It doesn't apply SWAP_CLUSTER_MAX LRU page isolation limit intentionally because it's automatically bounded by PMD size. If PMD size(e.g., 256) makes some trouble, we could fix it later by limit it to SWAP_CLUSTER_MAX[1]. - man-page material MADV_PAGEOUT (since Linux x.x) Do not expect access in the near future so pages in the specified regions could be reclaimed instantly regardless of memory pressure. Thus, access in the range after successful operation could cause major page fault but never lose the up-to-date contents unlike MADV_DONTNEED. Pages belonging to a shared mapping are only processed if a write access is allowed for the calling process. MADV_PAGEOUT cannot be applied to locked pages, Huge TLB pages, or VM_PFNMAP pages.

mm: introduce MADV_COLD

2019-09-26T00:51:41Z

Patch series "Introduce MADV_COLD and MADV_PAGEOUT", v7. - Background The Android terminology used for forking a new process and starting an app from scratch is a cold start, while resuming an existing app is a hot start. While we continually try to improve the performance of cold starts, hot starts will always be significantly less power hungry as well as faster so we are trying to make hot start more likely than cold start. To increase hot start, Android userspace manages the order that apps should be killed in a process called ActivityManagerService. ActivityManagerService tracks every Android app or service that the user could be interacting with at any time and translates that into a ranked list for lmkd(low memory killer daemon). They are likely to be killed by lmkd if the system has to reclaim memory. In that sense they are similar to entries in any other cache. Those apps are kept alive for opportunistic performance improvements but those performance improvements will vary based on the memory requirements of individual workloads. - Problem Naturally, cached apps were dominant consumers of memory on the system. However, they were not significant consumers of swap even though they are good candidate for swap. Under investigation, swapping out only begins once the low zone watermark is hit and kswapd wakes up, but the overall allocation rate in the system might trip lmkd thresholds and cause a cached process to be killed(we measured performance swapping out vs. zapping the memory by killing a process. Unsurprisingly, zapping is 10x times faster even though we use zram which is much faster than real storage) so kill from lmkd will often satisfy the high zone watermark, resulting in very few pages actually being moved to swap. - Approach The approach we chose was to use a new interface to allow userspace to proactively reclaim entire processes by leveraging platform information. This allowed us to bypass the inaccuracy of the kernel’s LRUs for pages that are known to be cold from userspace and to avoid races with lmkd by reclaiming apps as soon as they entered the cached state. Additionally, it could provide many chances for platform to use much information to optimize memory efficiency. To achieve the goal, the patchset introduce two new options for madvise. One is MADV_COLD which will deactivate activated pages and the other is MADV_PAGEOUT which will reclaim private pages instantly. These new options complement MADV_DONTNEED and MADV_FREE by adding non-destructive ways to gain some free memory space. MADV_PAGEOUT is similar to MADV_DONTNEED in a way that it hints the kernel that memory region is not currently needed and should be reclaimed immediately; MADV_COLD is similar to MADV_FREE in a way that it hints the kernel that memory region is not currently needed and should be reclaimed when memory pressure rises. This patch (of 5): When a process expects no accesses to a certain memory range, it could give a hint to kernel that the pages can be reclaimed when memory pressure happens but data should be preserved for future use. This could reduce workingset eviction so it ends up increasing performance. This patch introduces the new MADV_COLD hint to madvise(2) syscall. MADV_COLD can be used by a process to mark a memory range as not expected to be used in the near future. The hint can help kernel in deciding which pages to evict early during memory pressure. It works for every LRU pages like MADV_[DONTNEED|FREE]. IOW, It moves active file page -> inactive file LRU active anon page -> inacdtive anon LRU Unlike MADV_FREE, it doesn't move active anonymous pages to inactive file LRU's head because MADV_COLD is a little bit different symantic. MADV_FREE means it's okay to discard when the memory pressure because the content of the page is *garbage* so freeing such pages is almost zero overhead since we don't need to swap out and access afterward causes just minor fault. Thus, it would make sense to put those freeable pages in inactive file LRU to compete other used-once pages. It makes sense for implmentaion point of view, too because it's not swapbacked memory any longer until it would be re-dirtied. Even, it could give a bonus to make them be reclaimed on swapless system. However, MADV_COLD doesn't mean garbage so reclaiming them requires swap-out/in in the end so it's bigger cost. Since we have designed VM LRU aging based on cost-model, anonymous cold pages would be better to position inactive anon's LRU list, not file LRU. Furthermore, it would help to avoid unnecessary scanning if system doesn't have a swap device. Let's start simpler way without adding complexity at this moment. However, keep in mind, too that it's a caveat that workloads with a lot of pages cache are likely to ignore MADV_COLD on anonymous memory because we rarely age anonymous LRU lists. * man-page material MADV_COLD (since Linux x.x) Pages in the specified regions will be treated as less-recently-accessed compared to pages in the system with similar access frequencies. In contrast to MADV_FREE, the contents of the region are preserved regardless of subsequent writes to pages. MADV_COLD cannot be applied to locked pages, Huge TLB pages, or VM_PFNMAP pages.

ipc: fix semtimedop for generic 32-bit architectures

2019-09-06T19:49:24Z

As Vincent noticed, the y2038 conversion of semtimedop in linux-5.1 broke when commit 00bf25d693e7 ("y2038: use time32 syscall names on 32-bit") changed all system calls on all architectures that take a 32-bit time_t to point to the _time32 implementation, but left out semtimedop in the asm-generic header. This affects all 32-bit architectures using asm-generic/unistd.h: h8300, unicore32, openrisc, nios2, hexagon, c6x, arc, nds32 and csky. The notable exception is riscv32, which has dropped support for the time32 system calls entirely.

unistd: protect clone3 via __ARCH_WANT_SYS_CLONE3

2019-07-14T22:39:48Z

This lets us catch new architectures that implicitly make use of clone3 without setting __ARCH_WANT_SYS_CLONE3. Failing on missing __ARCH_WANT_SYS_CLONE3 is a good indicator that they either did not really want this syscall or haven't really thought about whether it needs special treatment and just accidently included it in their entrypoints by e.g. generating their syscall table automatically via asm-generic/unistd.h This patch has been compile-tested for the h8300 architecture which is one of the architectures that does not yet implement clone3 and generates its syscall table via asm-generic/unistd.h.

Pull clone3 system call from Christian Brauner: "This adds the clone3 syscall which is an extensible successor to clone after we snagged the last flag with CLONE_PIDFD during the 5.2 merge window for clone(). It cleanly supports all of the flags from clone() and thus all legacy workloads. There are few user visible differences between clone3 and clone. First, CLONE_DETACHED will cause EINVAL with clone3 so we can reuse this flag. Second, the CSIGNAL flag is deprecated and will cause EINVAL to be reported. It is superseeded by a dedicated "exit_signal" argument in struct clone_args thus freeing up even more flags. And third, clone3 gives CLONE_PIDFD a dedicated return argument in struct clone_args instead of abusing CLONE_PARENT_SETTID's parent_tidptr argument. The clone3 uapi is designed to be easy to handle on 32- and 64 bit: /* uapi */ struct clone_args { __aligned_u64 flags; __aligned_u64 pidfd; __aligned_u64 child_tid; __aligned_u64 parent_tid; __aligned_u64 exit_signal; __aligned_u64 stack; __aligned_u64 stack_size; __aligned_u64 tls; }; and a separate kernel struct is used that uses proper kernel typing: /* kernel internal */ struct kernel_clone_args { u64 flags; int __user *pidfd; int __user *child_tid; int __user *parent_tid; int exit_signal; unsigned long stack; unsigned long stack_size; unsigned long tls; }; The system call comes with a size argument which enables the kernel to detect what version of clone_args userspace is passing in. clone3 validates that any additional bytes a given kernel does not know about are set to zero and that the size never exceeds a page. A nice feature is that this patchset allowed us to cleanup and simplify various core kernel codepaths in kernel/fork.c by making the internal _do_fork() function take struct kernel_clone_args even for legacy clone(). This patch also unblocks the time namespace patchset which wants to introduce a new CLONE_TIMENS flag. Note, that clone3 has only been wired up for x86{_32,64}, arm{64}, and xtensa. These were the architectures that did not require special massaging. Other architectures treat fork-like system calls individually and after some back and forth neither Arnd nor I felt confident that we dared to add clone3 unconditionally to all architectures. We agreed to leave this up to individual architecture maintainers. This is why there's an additional patch that introduces __ARCH_WANT_SYS_CLONE3 which any architecture can set once it has implemented support for clone3. The patch also adds a cond_syscall(clone3) for architectures such as nios2 or h8300 that generate their syscall table by simply including asm-generic/unistd.h. The hope is to get rid of __ARCH_WANT_SYS_CLONE3 and cond_syscall() rather soon" * tag 'clone3-v5.3' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/brauner/linux: arch: handle arches who do not yet define clone3 arch: wire-up clone3() syscall fork: add clone3
