cgroup: Add compatibility option for content of /proc/cgroups

2025-08-15T14:39:10Z

[ Upstream commit 646faf36d7271c597497ca547a59912fcab49be9 ] /proc/cgroups lists only v1 controllers by default, however, this is only enforced since the commit af000ce85293b ("cgroup: Do not report unavailable v1 controllers in /proc/cgroups") and there is software in the wild that uses content of /proc/cgroups to decide on availability of v2 (sic) controllers. Add a boottime param that can bring back the previous behavior for setups where the check in the software cannot be changed and it causes e.g. unintended OOMs. Also, this patch takes out cgrp_v1_visible from cgroup1_subsys_absent() guard since it's only important to check which hierarchy (v1 vs v2) the subsys is attached to. This has no effect on the printed message but the code is cleaner since cgrp_v1_visible is really about mounted hierarchies, not the content of /proc/cgroups.

Revert "cgroup_freezer: cgroup_freezing: Check if not frozen"

2025-07-17T17:57:02Z

This reverts commit cff5f49d433fcd0063c8be7dd08fa5bf190c6c37. Commit cff5f49d433f ("cgroup_freezer: cgroup_freezing: Check if not frozen") modified the cgroup_freezing() logic to verify that the FROZEN flag is not set, affecting the return value of the freezing() function, in order to address a warning in __thaw_task. A race condition exists that may allow tasks to escape being frozen. The following scenario demonstrates this issue: CPU 0 (get_signal path) CPU 1 (freezer.state reader) try_to_freeze read freezer.state __refrigerator freezer_read update_if_frozen WRITE_ONCE(current->__state, TASK_FROZEN); ... /* Task is now marked frozen */ /* frozen(task) == true */ /* Assuming other tasks are frozen */ freezer->state |= CGROUP_FROZEN; /* freezing(current) returns false */ /* because cgroup is frozen (not freezing) */ break out __set_current_state(TASK_RUNNING); /* Bug: Task resumes running when it should remain frozen */ The existing !frozen(p) check in __thaw_task makes the WARN_ON_ONCE(freezing(p)) warning redundant. Removing this warning enables reverting the commit cff5f49d433f ("cgroup_freezer: cgroup_freezing: Check if not frozen") to resolve the issue. The warning has been removed in the previous patch. This patch revert the commit cff5f49d433f ("cgroup_freezer: cgroup_freezing: Check if not frozen") to complete the fix.

The freeze_task() function is called before clearing the CGROUP_FROZEN flag. This causes the freezing() check to incorrectly return false, preventing __freeze_task() from being invoked for the migrated task. To fix this issue, clear the CGROUP_FROZEN state before calling freeze_task().

Pull MM updates from Andrew Morton: - "Add folio_mk_pte()" from Matthew Wilcox simplifies the act of creating a pte which addresses the first page in a folio and reduces the amount of plumbing which architecture must implement to provide this. - "Misc folio patches for 6.16" from Matthew Wilcox is a shower of largely unrelated folio infrastructure changes which clean things up and better prepare us for future work. - "memory,x86,acpi: hotplug memory alignment advisement" from Gregory Price adds early-init code to prevent x86 from leaving physical memory unused when physical address regions are not aligned to memory block size. - "mm/compaction: allow more aggressive proactive compaction" from Michal Clapinski provides some tuning of the (sadly, hard-coded (more sadly, not auto-tuned)) thresholds for our invokation of proactive compaction. In a simple test case, the reduction of a guest VM's memory consumption was dramatic. - "Minor cleanups and improvements to swap freeing code" from Kemeng Shi provides some code cleaups and a small efficiency improvement to this part of our swap handling code. - "ptrace: introduce PTRACE_SET_SYSCALL_INFO API" from Dmitry Levin adds the ability for a ptracer to modify syscalls arguments. At this time we can alter only "system call information that are used by strace system call tampering, namely, syscall number, syscall arguments, and syscall return value. This series should have been incorporated into mm.git's "non-MM" branch, but I goofed. - "fs/proc: extend the PAGEMAP_SCAN ioctl to report guard regions" from Andrei Vagin extends the info returned by the PAGEMAP_SCAN ioctl against /proc/pid/pagemap. This permits CRIU to more efficiently get at the info about guard regions. - "Fix parameter passed to page_mapcount_is_type()" from Gavin Shan implements that fix. No runtime effect is expected because validate_page_before_insert() happens to fix up this error. - "kernel/events/uprobes: uprobe_write_opcode() rewrite" from David Hildenbrand basically brings uprobe text poking into the current decade. Remove a bunch of hand-rolled implementation in favor of using more current facilities. - "mm/ptdump: Drop assumption that pxd_val() is u64" from Anshuman Khandual provides enhancements and generalizations to the pte dumping code. This might be needed when 128-bit Page Table Descriptors are enabled for ARM. - "Always call constructor for kernel page tables" from Kevin Brodsky ensures that the ctor/dtor is always called for kernel pgtables, as it already is for user pgtables. This permits the addition of more functionality such as "insert hooks to protect page tables". This change does result in various architectures performing unnecesary work, but this is fixed up where it is anticipated to occur. - "Rust support for mm_struct, vm_area_struct, and mmap" from Alice Ryhl adds plumbing to permit Rust access to core MM structures. - "fix incorrectly disallowed anonymous VMA merges" from Lorenzo Stoakes takes advantage of some VMA merging opportunities which we've been missing for 15 years. - "mm/madvise: batch tlb flushes for MADV_DONTNEED and MADV_FREE" from SeongJae Park optimizes process_madvise()'s TLB flushing. Instead of flushing each address range in the provided iovec, we batch the flushing across all the iovec entries. The syscall's cost was approximately halved with a microbenchmark which was designed to load this particular operation. - "Track node vacancy to reduce worst case allocation counts" from Sidhartha Kumar makes the maple tree smarter about its node preallocation. stress-ng mmap performance increased by single-digit percentages and the amount of unnecessarily preallocated memory was dramaticelly reduced. - "mm/gup: Minor fix, cleanup and improvements" from Baoquan He removes a few unnecessary things which Baoquan noted when reading the code. - ""Enhance sysfs handling for memory hotplug in weighted interleave" from Rakie Kim "enhances the weighted interleave policy in the memory management subsystem by improving sysfs handling, fixing memory leaks, and introducing dynamic sysfs updates for memory hotplug support". Fixes things on error paths which we are unlikely to hit. - "mm/damon: auto-tune DAMOS for NUMA setups including tiered memory" from SeongJae Park introduces new DAMOS quota goal metrics which eliminate the manual tuning which is required when utilizing DAMON for memory tiering. - "mm/vmalloc.c: code cleanup and improvements" from Baoquan He provides cleanups and small efficiency improvements which Baoquan found via code inspection. - "vmscan: enforce mems_effective during demotion" from Gregory Price changes reclaim to respect cpuset.mems_effective during demotion when possible. because presently, reclaim explicitly ignores cpuset.mems_effective when demoting, which may cause the cpuset settings to violated. This is useful for isolating workloads on a multi-tenant system from certain classes of memory more consistently. - "Clean up split_huge_pmd_locked() and remove unnecessary folio pointers" from Gavin Guo provides minor cleanups and efficiency gains in in the huge page splitting and migrating code. - "Use kmem_cache for memcg alloc" from Huan Yang creates a slab cache for `struct mem_cgroup', yielding improved memory utilization. - "add max arg to swappiness in memory.reclaim and lru_gen" from Zhongkun He adds a new "max" argument to the "swappiness=" argument for memory.reclaim MGLRU's lru_gen. This directs proactive reclaim to reclaim from only anon folios rather than file-backed folios. - "kexec: introduce Kexec HandOver (KHO)" from Mike Rapoport is the first step on the path to permitting the kernel to maintain existing VMs while replacing the host kernel via file-based kexec. At this time only memblock's reserve_mem is preserved. - "mm: Introduce for_each_valid_pfn()" from David Woodhouse provides and uses a smarter way of looping over a pfn range. By skipping ranges of invalid pfns. - "sched/numa: Skip VMA scanning on memory pinned to one NUMA node via cpuset.mems" from Libo Chen removes a lot of pointless VMA scanning when a task is pinned a single NUMA mode. Dramatic performance benefits were seen in some real world cases. - "JFS: Implement migrate_folio for jfs_metapage_aops" from Shivank Garg addresses a warning which occurs during memory compaction when using JFS. - "move all VMA allocation, freeing and duplication logic to mm" from Lorenzo Stoakes moves some VMA code from kernel/fork.c into the more appropriate mm/vma.c. - "mm, swap: clean up swap cache mapping helper" from Kairui Song provides code consolidation and cleanups related to the folio_index() function. - "mm/gup: Cleanup memfd_pin_folios()" from Vishal Moola does that. - "memcg: Fix test_memcg_min/low test failures" from Waiman Long addresses some bogus failures which are being reported by the test_memcontrol selftest. - "eliminate mmap() retry merge, add .mmap_prepare hook" from Lorenzo Stoakes commences the deprecation of file_operations.mmap() in favor of the new file_operations.mmap_prepare(). The latter is more restrictive and prevents drivers from messing with things in ways which, amongst other problems, may defeat VMA merging. - "memcg: decouple memcg and objcg stocks"" from Shakeel Butt decouples the per-cpu memcg charge cache from the objcg's one. This is a step along the way to making memcg and objcg charging NMI-safe, which is a BPF requirement. - "mm/damon: minor fixups and improvements for code, tests, and documents" from SeongJae Park is yet another batch of miscellaneous DAMON changes. Fix and improve minor problems in code, tests and documents. - "memcg: make memcg stats irq safe" from Shakeel Butt converts memcg stats to be irq safe.

cgroup: adjust criteria for rstat subsystem cpu lock access

2025-05-31T00:36:13Z

Previously it was found that on uniprocessor machines the size of raw_spinlock_t could be zero so a pre-processor conditional was used to avoid the allocation of ss->rstat_ss_cpu_lock. The conditional did not take into account cases where lock debugging features were enabled. Cover these cases along with the original non-smp case by explicitly using the size of size of the lock type as criteria for allocation/access where applicable.

Pull kvm updates from Paolo Bonzini: "As far as x86 goes this pull request "only" includes TDX host support. Quotes are appropriate because (at 6k lines and 100+ commits) it is much bigger than the rest, which will come later this week and consists mostly of bugfixes and selftests. s390 changes will also come in the second batch. ARM: - Add large stage-2 mapping (THP) support for non-protected guests when pKVM is enabled, clawing back some performance. - Enable nested virtualisation support on systems that support it, though it is disabled by default. - Add UBSAN support to the standalone EL2 object used in nVHE/hVHE and protected modes. - Large rework of the way KVM tracks architecture features and links them with the effects of control bits. While this has no functional impact, it ensures correctness of emulation (the data is automatically extracted from the published JSON files), and helps dealing with the evolution of the architecture. - Significant changes to the way pKVM tracks ownership of pages, avoiding page table walks by storing the state in the hypervisor's vmemmap. This in turn enables the THP support described above. - New selftest checking the pKVM ownership transition rules - Fixes for FEAT_MTE_ASYNC being accidentally advertised to guests even if the host didn't have it. - Fixes for the address translation emulation, which happened to be rather buggy in some specific contexts. - Fixes for the PMU emulation in NV contexts, decoupling PMCR_EL0.N from the number of counters exposed to a guest and addressing a number of issues in the process. - Add a new selftest for the SVE host state being corrupted by a guest. - Keep HCR_EL2.xMO set at all times for systems running with the kernel at EL2, ensuring that the window for interrupts is slightly bigger, and avoiding a pretty bad erratum on the AmpereOne HW. - Add workaround for AmpereOne's erratum AC04_CPU_23, which suffers from a pretty bad case of TLB corruption unless accesses to HCR_EL2 are heavily synchronised. - Add a per-VM, per-ITS debugfs entry to dump the state of the ITS tables in a human-friendly fashion. - and the usual random cleanups. LoongArch: - Don't flush tlb if the host supports hardware page table walks. - Add KVM selftests support. RISC-V: - Add vector registers to get-reg-list selftest - VCPU reset related improvements - Remove scounteren initialization from VCPU reset - Support VCPU reset from userspace using set_mpstate() ioctl x86: - Initial support for TDX in KVM. This finally makes it possible to use the TDX module to run confidential guests on Intel processors. This is quite a large series, including support for private page tables (managed by the TDX module and mirrored in KVM for efficiency), forwarding some TDVMCALLs to userspace, and handling several special VM exits from the TDX module.

Pull cgroup updates from Tejun Heo: - cgroup rstat shared the tracking tree across all controllers with the rationale being that a cgroup which is using one resource is likely to be using other resources at the same time (ie. if something is allocating memory, it's probably consuming CPU cycles). However, this turned out to not scale very well especially with memcg using rstat for internal operations which made memcg stat read and flush patterns substantially different from other controllers. JP Kobryn split the rstat tree per controller. - cgroup BPF support was hooking into cgroup init/exit paths directly. Convert them to use a notifier chain instead so that other usages can be added easily. The two of the patches which implement this are mislabeled as belonging to sched_ext instead of cgroup.
