This implements the monitoring primitives for the physical memory
address space. Internally, it uses the PTE Accessed bit, similar to
that of the virtual address spaces monitoring primitives. It supports
only user memory pages, as idle pages tracking does. If the monitoring
target physical memory address range contains non-user memory pages,
access check of the pages will do nothing but simply treat the pages as
not accessed.

Patch series "DAMON: Support Physical Memory Address Space Monitoring:.
DAMON currently supports only virtual address spaces monitoring. It can
be easily extended for various use cases and address spaces by
configuring its monitoring primitives layer to use appropriate
primitives implementations, though. This patchset implements monitoring
primitives for the physical address space monitoring using the
structure.
The first 3 patches allow the user space users manually set the
monitoring regions. The 1st patch implements the feature in the
'damon-dbgfs'. Then, patches for adding a unit tests (the 2nd patch)
and updating the documentation (the 3rd patch) follow.
Following 4 patches implement the physical address space monitoring
primitives. The 4th patch makes some primitive functions for the
virtual address spaces primitives reusable. The 5th patch implements
the physical address space monitoring primitives. The 6th patch links
the primitives to the 'damon-dbgfs'. Finally, 7th patch documents this
new features.
This patch (of 7):
Some 'damon-dbgfs' users would want to monitor only a part of the entire
virtual memory address space. The program interface users in the kernel
space could use '->before_start()' callback or set the regions inside
the context struct as they want, but 'damon-dbgfs' users cannot.
For that reason, this introduces a new debugfs file called
'init_region'. 'damon-dbgfs' users can specify which initial monitoring
target address regions they want by writing special input to the file.
The input should describe each region in each line in the below form:
<pid> <start address> <end address>
Note that the regions will be updated to cover entire memory mapped
regions after a 'regions update interval' is passed. If you want the
regions to not be updated after the initial setting, you could set the
interval as a very long time, say, a few decades.

To tune the DAMON-based operation schemes, knowing how many and how
large regions are affected by each of the schemes will be helful. Those
stats could be used for not only the tuning, but also monitoring of the
working set size and the number of regions, if the scheme does not
change the program behavior too much.
For the reason, this implements the statistics for the schemes. The
total number and size of the regions that each scheme is applied are
exported to users via '->stat_count' and '->stat_sz' of 'struct damos'.
Admins can also check the number by reading 'schemes' debugfs file. The
last two integers now represents the stats. To allow collecting the
stats without changing the program behavior, this also adds new scheme
action, 'DAMOS_STAT'. Note that 'DAMOS_STAT' is not only making no
memory operation actions, but also does not reset the age of regions.

This makes DAMON's default primitives for virtual address spaces to
support DAMON-based Operation Schemes (DAMOS) by implementing actions
application functions and registering it to the monitoring context. The
implementation simply links 'madvise()' for related DAMOS actions. That
is, 'madvise(MADV_WILLNEED)' is called for 'WILLNEED' DAMOS action and
similar for other actions ('COLD', 'PAGEOUT', 'HUGEPAGE', 'NOHUGEPAGE').
So, the kernel space DAMON users can now use the DAMON-based
optimizations with only small amount of code.

In many cases, users might use DAMON for simple data access aware memory
management optimizations such as applying an operation scheme to a
memory region of a specific size having a specific access frequency for
a specific time. For example, "page out a memory region larger than 100
MiB but having a low access frequency more than 10 minutes", or "Use THP
for a memory region larger than 2 MiB having a high access frequency for
more than 2 seconds".
Most simple form of the solution would be doing offline data access
pattern profiling using DAMON and modifying the application source code
or system configuration based on the profiling results. Or, developing
a daemon constructed with two modules (one for access monitoring and the
other for applying memory management actions via mlock(), madvise(),
sysctl, etc) is imaginable.
To avoid users spending their time for implementation of such simple
data access monitoring-based operation schemes, this makes DAMON to
handle such schemes directly. With this change, users can simply
specify their desired schemes to DAMON. Then, DAMON will automatically
apply the schemes to the user-specified target processes.
Each of the schemes is composed with conditions for filtering of the
target memory regions and desired memory management action for the
target. Specifically, the format is::
<min/max size> <min/max access frequency> <min/max age> <action>
The filtering conditions are size of memory region, number of accesses
to the region monitored by DAMON, and the age of the region. The age of
region is incremented periodically but reset when its addresses or
access frequency has significantly changed or the action of a scheme was
applied. For the action, current implementation supports a few of
madvise()-like hints, ``WILLNEED``, ``COLD``, ``PAGEOUT``, ``HUGEPAGE``,
and ``NOHUGEPAGE``.
Because DAMON supports various address spaces and application of the
actions to a monitoring target region is dependent to the type of the
target address space, the application code should be implemented by each
primitives and registered to the framework. Note that this only
implements the framework part. Following commit will implement the
action applications for virtual address spaces primitives.

Patch series "Implement Data Access Monitoring-based Memory Operation Schemes".
Introduction
============
DAMON[1] can be used as a primitive for data access aware memory
management optimizations. For that, users who want such optimizations
should run DAMON, read the monitoring results, analyze it, plan a new
memory management scheme, and apply the new scheme by themselves. Such
efforts will be inevitable for some complicated optimizations.
However, in many other cases, the users would simply want the system to
apply a memory management action to a memory region of a specific size
having a specific access frequency for a specific time. For example,
"page out a memory region larger than 100 MiB keeping only rare accesses
more than 2 minutes", or "Do not use THP for a memory region larger than
2 MiB rarely accessed for more than 1 seconds".
To make the works easier and non-redundant, this patchset implements a
new feature of DAMON, which is called Data Access Monitoring-based
Operation Schemes (DAMOS). Using the feature, users can describe the
normal schemes in a simple way and ask DAMON to execute those on its
own.
[1] https://damonitor.github.io
Evaluations
===========
DAMOS is accurate and useful for memory management optimizations. An
experimental DAMON-based operation scheme for THP, 'ethp', removes
76.15% of THP memory overheads while preserving 51.25% of THP speedup.
Another experimental DAMON-based 'proactive reclamation' implementation,
'prcl', reduces 93.38% of residential sets and 23.63% of system memory
footprint while incurring only 1.22% runtime overhead in the best case
(parsec3/freqmine).
NOTE that the experimental THP optimization and proactive reclamation
are not for production but only for proof of concepts.
Please refer to the showcase web site's evaluation document[1] for
detailed evaluation setup and results.

Long-term Support Trees
-----------------------
For people who want to test DAMON but using LTS kernels, there are
another couple of trees based on two latest LTS kernels respectively and
containing the 'damon/master' backports.
- For v5.4.y: https://git.kernel.org/sj/h/damon/for-v5.4.y
- For v5.10.y: https://git.kernel.org/sj/h/damon/for-v5.10.y
Sequence Of Patches
===================
The 1st patch accounts age of each region. The 2nd patch implements the
core of the DAMON-based operation schemes feature. The 3rd patch makes
the default monitoring primitives for virtual address spaces to support
the schemes. From this point, the kernel space users can use DAMOS.
The 4th patch exports the feature to the user space via the debugfs
interface. The 5th patch implements schemes statistics feature for
easier tuning of the schemes and runtime access pattern analysis, and
the 6th patch adds selftests for these changes. Finally, the 7th patch
documents this new feature.
This patch (of 7):
DAMON can be used for data access pattern aware memory management
optimizations. For that, users should run DAMON, read the monitoring
results, analyze it, plan a new memory management scheme, and apply the
new scheme by themselves. It would not be too hard, but still require
some level of effort. For complicated cases, this effort is inevitable.
That said, in many cases, users would simply want to apply an actions to
a memory region of a specific size having a specific access frequency
for a specific time. For example, "page out a memory region larger than
100 MiB but having a low access frequency more than 10 minutes", or "Use
THP for a memory region larger than 2 MiB having a high access frequency
for more than 2 seconds".
For such optimizations, users will need to first account the age of each
region themselves. To reduce such efforts, this implements a simple age
account of each region in DAMON. For each aggregation step, DAMON
compares the access frequency with that from last aggregation and reset
the age of the region if the change is significant. Else, the age is
incremented. Also, in case of the merge of regions, the region
size-weighted average of the ages is set as the age of merged new
region.

hundreds of CPUs (cores). If done too frequently, this can adversely
affect tail latencies of various workloads.
One workaround is to increase the sample interval to several seconds,
while decreasing sampled allocation coverage, but the problem still
exists and could still increase tail latencies.
As already noted in the Kconfig help text, there are trade-offs: at
lower sample intervals the dynamic branch results in better performance;
however, at very large sample intervals, the static keys mode can result
in better performance -- careful benchmarking is recommended.
Our initial benchmarking showed that with large enough sample intervals
and workloads stressing the allocator, the static keys mode was slightly
better. Evaluating and observing the possible system-wide side-effects
of the static-key-switching induced broadcast IPIs, however, was a blind
spot (in particular on large machines with 100s of cores).
Therefore, a major downside of the static keys mode is, unfortunately,
that it is hard to predict performance on new system architectures and
topologies, but also making conclusions about performance of new
workloads based on a limited set of benchmarks.
Most distributions will simply select the defaults, while targeting a
large variety of different workloads and system architectures. As such,
the better default is CONFIG_KFENCE_STATIC_KEYS=n, and re-enabling it is
only recommended after careful evaluation.
For reference, on x86-64 the condition in kfence_alloc() generates
exactly
2 instructions in the kmem_cache_alloc() fast-path:
| ...
| cmpl $0x0,0x1a8021c(%rip) # ffffffff82d560d0 <kfence_allocation_gate>
| je ffffffff812d6003 <kmem_cache_alloc+0x243>
| ...
which, given kfence_allocation_gate is infrequently modified, should be
well predicted by most CPUs.

Regardless of KFENCE mode (CONFIG_KFENCE_STATIC_KEYS: either using
static keys to gate allocations, or using a simple dynamic branch),
always use a static branch to avoid the dynamic branch in kfence_alloc()
if KFENCE was disabled at boot.
For CONFIG_KFENCE_STATIC_KEYS=n, this now avoids the dynamic branch if
KFENCE was disabled at boot.
To simplify, also unifies the location where kfence_allocation_gate is
read-checked to just be inline in kfence_alloc().

Initializing memory and setting/checking the canary bytes is relatively
expensive, and doing so in the meta->lock critical sections extends the
duration with preemption and interrupts disabled unnecessarily.
Any reads to meta->addr and meta->size in kfence_guarded_alloc() and
kfence_guarded_free() don't require locking meta->lock as long as the
object is removed from the freelist: only kfence_guarded_alloc() sets
meta->addr and meta->size after removing it from the freelist, which
requires a preceding kfence_guarded_free() returning it to the list or
the initial state.
Therefore move reads to meta->addr and meta->size, including expensive
memory initialization using them, out of meta->lock critical sections.

One of KFENCE's main design principles is that with increasing uptime,
allocation coverage increases sufficiently to detect previously
undetected bugs.
We have observed that frequent long-lived allocations of the same source
(e.g. pagecache) tend to permanently fill up the KFENCE pool with
increasing system uptime, thus breaking the above requirement. The
workaround thus far had been increasing the sample interval and/or
increasing the KFENCE pool size, but is no reliable solution.
To ensure diverse coverage of allocations, limit currently covered
allocations of the same source once pool utilization reaches 75%
(configurable via `kfence.skip_covered_thresh`) or above. The effect is
retaining reasonable allocation coverage when the pool is close to full.
A side-effect is that this also limits frequent long-lived allocations
of the same source filling up the pool permanently.
Uniqueness of an allocation for coverage purposes is based on its
(partial) allocation stack trace (the source). A Counting Bloom filter
is used to check if an allocation is covered; if the allocation is
currently covered, the allocation is skipped by KFENCE.
Testing was done using:
(a) a synthetic workload that performs frequent long-lived
allocations (default config values; sample_interval=1;
num_objects=63), and
(b) normal desktop workloads on an otherwise idle machine where
the problem was first reported after a few days of uptime
(default config values).
In both test cases the sampled allocation rate no longer drops to zero
at any point. In the case of (b) we observe (after 2 days uptime) 15%
unique allocations in the pool, 77% pool utilization, with 20% "skipped
allocations (covered)".

nr_free_buffer_pages could be exposed through mm.h instead of swap.h.
The advantage of this change is that it can reduce the obsolete

since it has already included mm.h. Similarly, after checking all the
other files, it comes that tcp.c, udp.c meter.c ,... follow the same
rule, so these files can have swap.h removed too.
Moreover, after preprocessing all the files that use
nr_free_buffer_pages, it turns out that those files have already
included mm.h.Thus, we can move nr_free_buffer_pages from swap.h to mm.h
safely. This change will not affect the compilation of other files.

During migration special page table entries are installed for each page
being migrated. These entries store the pfn and associated permissions
of ptes mapping the page being migarted.
Device-private pages use special swap pte entries to distinguish
read-only vs. writeable pages which the migration code checks when
creating migration entries. Normally this follows a fast path in
migrate_vma_collect_pmd() which correctly copies the permissions of
device-private pages over to migration entries when migrating pages back
to the CPU.
However the slow-path falls back to using try_to_migrate() which
unconditionally creates read-only migration entries for device-private
pages. This leads to unnecessary double faults on the CPU as the new
pages are always mapped read-only even when they could be mapped
writeable. Fix this by correctly copying device-private permissions in
try_to_migrate_one().

Let's add a flag that corresponds to IORESOURCE_SYSRAM_DRIVER_MANAGED,
indicating that we're dealing with a memory region that is never
indicated in the firmware-provided memory map, but always detected and
added by a driver.
Similar to MEMBLOCK_HOTPLUG, most infrastructure has to treat such
memory regions like ordinary MEMBLOCK_NONE memory regions -- for
example, when selecting memory regions to add to the vmcore for dumping
in the crashkernel via for_each_mem_range().
However, especially kexec_file is not supposed to select such memblocks
via for_each_free_mem_range() / for_each_free_mem_range_reverse() to
place kexec images, similar to how we handle
IORESOURCE_SYSRAM_DRIVER_MANAGED without CONFIG_ARCH_KEEP_MEMBLOCK.
We'll make sure that memory hotplug code sets the flag where applicable
(IORESOURCE_SYSRAM_DRIVER_MANAGED) next. This prepares architectures
that need CONFIG_ARCH_KEEP_MEMBLOCK, such as arm64, for virtio-mem
support.
Note that kexec *must not* indicate this memory to the second kernel and
*must not* place kexec-images on this memory. Let's add a comment to
kexec_walk_memblock(), documenting how we handle MEMBLOCK_DRIVER_MANAGED
now just like using IORESOURCE_SYSRAM_DRIVER_MANAGED in
locate_mem_hole_callback() for kexec_walk_resources().
Also note that MEMBLOCK_HOTPLUG cannot be reused due to different
semantics:
MEMBLOCK_HOTPLUG: memory is indicated as "System RAM" in the
firmware-provided memory map and added to the system early during
boot; kexec *has to* indicate this memory to the second kernel and
can place kexec-images on this memory. After memory hotunplug,
kexec has to be re-armed. We mostly ignore this flag when
"movable_node" is not set on the kernel command line, because
then we're told to not care about hotunpluggability of such
memory regions.
MEMBLOCK_DRIVER_MANAGED: memory is not indicated as "System RAM" in
the firmware-provided memory map; this memory is always detected
and added to the system by a driver; memory might not actually be
physically hotunpluggable. kexec *must not* indicate this memory to
the second kernel and *must not* place kexec-images on this memory.

We want to specify flags when hotplugging memory. Let's prepare to pass
flags to memblock_add_node() by adjusting all existing users.
Note that when hotplugging memory the system is already up and running
and we might have concurrent memblock users: for example, while we're
hotplugging memory, kexec_file code might search for suitable memory
regions to place kexec images. It's important to add the memory
directly to memblock via a single call with the right flags, instead of
adding the memory first and apply flags later: otherwise, concurrent
memblock users might temporarily stumble over memblocks with wrong
flags, which will be important in a follow-up patch that introduces a
new flag to properly handle add_memory_driver_managed().

hotplugged before reboot), implying that it might get hotunplugged again
later.
Whether we consider this information depends on the "movable_node"
kernel commandline parameter: only with "movable_node" set, we'll try
keeping this memory hotunpluggable, for example, by not serving early
allocations from this memory region and by letting the buddy manage it
using the ZONE_MOVABLE.
Let's make this clearer by extending the documentation.
Note: kexec *has to* indicate this memory to the second kernel. With
"movable_node" set, we don't want to place kexec-images on this memory.
Without "movable_node" set, we don't care and can place kexec-images on
this memory. In both cases, after successful memory hotunplug, kexec
has to be re-armed to update the memory map for the second kernel and to
place the kexec-images somewhere else.

Patch series "mm/memory_hotplug: full support for add_memory_driver_managed() with CONFIG_ARCH_KEEP_MEMBLOCK", v2.
Architectures that require CONFIG_ARCH_KEEP_MEMBLOCK=y, such as arm64,
don't cleanly support add_memory_driver_managed() yet. Most
prominently, kexec_file can still end up placing kexec images on such
driver-managed memory, resulting in undesired behavior, for example,
having kexec images located on memory not part of the firmware-provided
memory map.
Teaching kexec to not place images on driver-managed memory is
especially relevant for virtio-mem. Details can be found in commit
7b7b27214b ("mm/memory_hotplug: introduce
add_memory_driver_managed()").
Extend memblock with a new flag and set it from memory hotplug code when
applicable. This is required to fully support virtio-mem on arm64,
making also kexec_file behave like on x86-64.
This patch (of 2):
If memblock_add_node() fails, we're most probably running out of memory.
While this is unlikely to happen, it can happen and having memory added
without a memblock can be problematic for architectures that use
memblock to detect valid memory. Let's fail in a nice way instead of
silently ignoring the error.

32 bit support is broken in various ways: for example, we can online
memory that should actually go to ZONE_HIGHMEM to ZONE_MOVABLE or in
some cases even to one of the other kernel zones.
We marked it BROKEN in commit b59d02ed08 ("mm/memory_hotplug: disable
the functionality for 32b") almost one year ago. According to that
commit it might be broken at least since 2017. Further, there is hardly
a sane use case nowadays.
Let's just depend completely on 64bit, dropping the "BROKEN" dependency
to make clear that we are not going to support it again. Next, we'll
remove some HIGHMEM leftovers from memory hotplug code to clean up.

Patch series "mm/memory_hotplug: Kconfig and 32 bit cleanups".
Some cleanups around CONFIG_MEMORY_HOTPLUG, including removing 32 bit
leftovers of memory hotplug support.
This patch (of 6):
SPARSEMEM is the only possible memory model for x86-64, FLATMEM is not
possible:
config ARCH_FLATMEM_ENABLE
def_bool y
depends on X86_32 && !NUMA
And X86_64_ACPI_NUMA (obviously) only supports x86-64:
config X86_64_ACPI_NUMA
def_bool y
depends on X86_64 && NUMA && ACPI && PCI
Let's just remove the CONFIG_X86_64_ACPI_NUMA dependency, as it does no
longer make sense.

Commit e83a437faa ("mm/memory_hotplug: introduce "auto-movable" online
policy") introduced a new memory online policy to automatically select a
zone for memory blocks to be onlined. It added a way to set the active
online policy and tunables for the auto-movable online policy.
Follow-up commits tweaked the "auto-movable" policy to also consider
memory device details when selecting zones for memory blocks to be
onlined.
Let's document the new toggles and how the two online policies we have
work.
