Nothing really major this release, despite quite a lot of activity. Just lots of
things all over the place.
Some things of note include:
- Access via perf to a new type of PMU (IMC) on Power9, which can count both
core events as well as nest unit events (Memory controller etc).
- Optimisations to the radix MMU TLB flushing, mostly to avoid unnecessary Page
Walk Cache (PWC) flushes when the structure of the tree is not changing.
- Reworks/cleanups of do_page_fault() to modernise it and bring it closer to
other architectures where possible.
- Rework of our page table walking so that THP updates only need to send IPIs
to CPUs where the affected mm has run, rather than all CPUs.
- The size of our vmalloc area is increased to 56T on 64-bit hash MMU systems.
This avoids problems with the percpu allocator on systems with very sparse
NUMA layouts.
- STRICT_KERNEL_RWX support on PPC32.
- A new sched domain topology for Power9, to capture the fact that pairs of
cores may share an L2 cache.
- Power9 support for VAS, which is a new mechanism for accessing coprocessors,
and initial support for using it with the NX compression accelerator.
- Major work on the instruction emulation support, adding support for many new
instructions, and reworking it so it can be used to implement the emulation
needed to fixup alignment faults.
- Support for guests under PowerVM to use the Power9 XIVE interrupt controller.
And probably that many things again that are almost as interesting, but I had to
keep the list short. Plus the usual fixes and cleanups as always.

The LEDS_CMD command is only supported in some newer FW versions
(e.g. iwlwifi-8000C-31.ucode), so we can't send it to older versions
(such as iwlwifi-8000C-27.ucode).
To fix this, check for a new bit in the FW capabilities TLV that tells
when the command is supported.
Note that the current version of -31.ucode in linux-firmware.git
(31.532993.0) does not have this capability bit set, so the LED won't
work, even though this version should support it. But we will update
this firmware soon, so it won't be a problem anymore.

KVM/PPC update for 4.14
There are various minor fixes and cleanups. The only new feature is
that we now export information about storage key support to userspace,
so it can advertise it to the guest.
I have pulled in Michael Ellerman's topic/ppc-kvm branch from the
powerpc tree to get a couple of fixes that touch both KVM PPC code and
other PPC code. That's why there is some arch/powerpc stuff in the
diffstat that isn't arch/powerpc/kvm.
Currently, aio-nr is incremented in steps of 'num_possible_cpus() * 8'
for io_setup(nr_events, ..) with 'nr_events < num_possible_cpus() * 4':
ioctx_alloc()
...
nr_events = max(nr_events, num_possible_cpus() * 4);
nr_events *= 2;
...
ctx->max_reqs = nr_events;
...
aio_nr += ctx->max_reqs;
....
This limits the number of aio contexts actually available to much less
than aio-max-nr, and is increasingly worse with greater number of CPUs.
For example, with 64 CPUs, only 256 aio contexts are actually available
(with aio-max-nr = 65536) because the increment is 512 in that scenario.
Note: 65536 [max aio contexts] / (64*4*2) [increment per aio context]
is 128, but make it 256 (double) as counting against 'aio-max-nr * 2':
ioctx_alloc()
...
if (aio_nr + nr_events > (aio_max_nr * 2UL) ||
...
goto err_ctx;
...
This patch uses the original value of nr_events (from userspace) to
increment aio-nr and count against aio-max-nr, which resolves those.

"A lot of changes for percpu this time around. percpu inherited the

with the unfortunate computational complexity of O(number of areas
allocated from the chunk) per alloc / free.
With the increase in percpu usage, we're hitting cases where the lack
of scalability is hurting. The most prominent one right now is bpf
perpcu map creation / destruction which may allocate and free a lot of
entries consecutively and it's likely that the problem will become
more prominent in the future.
To address the issue, Dennis replaced the area allocator with hinted
bitmap allocator which is more consistent. While the new allocator
does perform a bit worse in some cases, it outperforms the old
allocator way more than an order of magnitude in other more common
scenarios while staying mostly flat in CPU overhead and completely
flat in memory consumption"

When Linux brings a CPU down and back up, it switches to init_mm and then
loads swapper_pg_dir into CR3. With PCID enabled, this has the side effect
of masking off the ASID bits in CR3.
This can result in some confusion in the TLB handling code. If we
bring a CPU down and back up with any ASID other than 0, we end up
with the wrong ASID active on the CPU after resume. This could
cause our internal state to become corrupt, although major
corruption is unlikely because init_mm doesn't have any user pages.
More obviously, if CONFIG_DEBUG_VM=y, we'll trip over an assertion
in the next context switch. The result of *that* is a failure to
resume from suspend with probability 1 - 1/6^(cpus-1).
Fix it by reinitializing cpu_tlbstate on resume and CPU bringup.

Currently trace_clock timestamps are applied to both regular and max
buffers only for global trace. For instance trace, trace_clock
timestamps are applied only to regular buffer. But, regular and max
buffers can be swapped, for example, following a snapshot. So, for
instance trace, bad timestamps can be seen following a snapshot.
Let's apply trace_clock timestamps to instance max buffer as well.

Introduce MADV_WIPEONFORK semantics, which result in a VMA being empty
in the child process after fork. This differs from MADV_DONTFORK in one
important way.
If a child process accesses memory that was MADV_WIPEONFORK, it will get
zeroes. The address ranges are still valid, they are just empty.
If a child process accesses memory that was MADV_DONTFORK, it will get a
segmentation fault, since those address ranges are no longer valid in
the child after fork.
Since MADV_DONTFORK also seems to be used to allow very large programs
to fork in systems with strict memory overcommit restrictions, changing
the semantics of MADV_DONTFORK might break existing programs.
MADV_WIPEONFORK only works on private, anonymous VMAs.
The use case is libraries that store or cache information, and want to
know that they need to regenerate it in the child process after fork.
Examples of this would be:
- systemd/pulseaudio API checks (fail after fork) (replacing a getpid
check, which is too slow without a PID cache)
- PKCS#11 API reinitialization check (mandated by specification)
- glibc's upcoming PRNG (reseed after fork)
- OpenSSL PRNG (reseed after fork)
The security benefits of a forking server having a re-inialized PRNG in
every child process are pretty obvious. However, due to libraries
having all kinds of internal state, and programs getting compiled with
many different versions of each library, it is unreasonable to expect
calling programs to re-initialize everything manually after fork.
A further complication is the proliferation of clone flags, programs
bypassing glibc's functions to call clone directly, and programs calling
unshare, causing the glibc pthread_atfork hook to not get called.
It would be better to have the kernel take care of this automatically.
The patch also adds MADV_KEEPONFORK, to undo the effects of a prior
MADV_WIPEONFORK.

/proc/pid/smaps_rollup is a new proc file that improves the performance
of user programs that determine aggregate memory statistics (e.g., total
PSS) of a process.
Android regularly "samples" the memory usage of various processes in
order to balance its memory pool sizes. This sampling process involves
opening /proc/pid/smaps and summing certain fields. For very large
processes, sampling memory use this way can take several hundred
milliseconds, due mostly to the overhead of the seq_printf calls in
task_mmu.c.
smaps_rollup improves the situation. It contains most of the fields of
/proc/pid/smaps, but instead of a set of fields for each VMA,
smaps_rollup instead contains one synthetic smaps-format entry
representing the whole process. In the single smaps_rollup synthetic
entry, each field is the summation of the corresponding field in all of
the real-smaps VMAs. Using a common format for smaps_rollup and smaps
allows userspace parsers to repurpose parsers meant for use with
non-rollup smaps for smaps_rollup, and it allows userspace to switch
between smaps_rollup and smaps at runtime (say, based on the
availability of smaps_rollup in a given kernel) with minimal fuss.
By using smaps_rollup instead of smaps, a caller can avoid the
significant overhead of formatting, reading, and parsing each of a large
process's potentially very numerous memory mappings. For sampling
system_server's PSS in Android, we measured a 12x speedup, representing
a savings of several hundred milliseconds.
One alternative to a new per-process proc file would have been including
PSS information in /proc/pid/status. We considered this option but
thought that PSS would be too expensive (by a few orders of magnitude)
to collect relative to what's already emitted as part of
/proc/pid/status, and slowing every user of /proc/pid/status for the
sake of readers that happen to want PSS feels wrong.
The code itself works by reusing the existing VMA-walking framework we
use for regular smaps generation and keeping the mem_size_stats
structure around between VMA walks instead of using a fresh one for each
VMA. In this way, summation happens automatically. We let seq_file
walk over the VMAs just as it does for regular smaps and just emit
nothing to the seq_file until we hit the last VMA.
Benchmarks:
using smaps:
iterations:1000 pid:1163 pss:220023808
0m29.46s real 0m08.28s user 0m20.98s system
using smaps_rollup:
iterations:1000 pid:1163 pss:220702720
0m04.39s real 0m00.03s user 0m04.31s system
We're using the PSS samples we collect asynchronously for
system-management tasks like fine-tuning oom_adj_score, memory use
tracking for debugging, application-level memory-use attribution, and
deciding whether we want to kill large processes during system idle
maintenance windows. Android has been using PSS for these purposes for
a long time; as the average process VMA count has increased and and
devices become more efficiency-conscious, PSS-collection inefficiency
has started to matter more. IMHO, it'd be a lot safer to optimize the
existing PSS-collection model, which has been fine-tuned over the years,
instead of changing the memory tracking approach entirely to work around
smaps-generation inefficiency.
Tim said:
: There are two main reasons why Android gathers PSS information:
:
: 1. Android devices can show the user the amount of memory used per
: application via the settings app. This is a less important use case.
:
: 2. We log PSS to help identify leaks in applications. We have found
: an enormous number of bugs (in the Android platform, in Google's own
: apps, and in third-party applications) using this data.
:
: To do this, system_server (the main process in Android userspace) will
: sample the PSS of a process three seconds after it changes state (for
: example, app is launched and becomes the foreground application) and about
: every ten minutes after that. The net result is that PSS collection is
: regularly running on at least one process in the system (usually a few
: times a minute while the screen is on, less when screen is off due to
: suspend). PSS of a process is an incredibly useful stat to track, and we
: aren't going to get rid of it. We've looked at some very hacky approaches
: using RSS ("take the RSS of the target process, subtract the RSS of the
: zygote process that is the parent of all Android apps") to reduce the
: accounting time, but it regularly overestimated the memory used by 20+
: percent. Accordingly, I don't think that there's a good alternative to
: using PSS.
:
: We started looking into PSS collection performance after we noticed random
: frequency spikes while a phone's screen was off; occasionally, one of the
: CPU clusters would ramp to a high frequency because there was 200-300ms of
: constant CPU work from a single thread in the main Android userspace
: process. The work causing the spike (which is reasonable governor
: behavior given the amount of CPU time needed) was always PSS collection.
: As a result, Android is burning more power than we should be on PSS
: collection.
:
: The other issue (and why I'm less sure about improving smaps as a
: long-term solution) is that the number of VMAs per process has increased
: significantly from release to release. After trying to figure out why we
: were seeing these 200-300ms PSS collection times on Android O but had not
: noticed it in previous versions, we found that the number of VMAs in the
: main system process increased by 50% from Android N to Android O (from
: ~1800 to ~2700) and varying increases in every userspace process. Android
: M to N also had an increase in the number of VMAs, although not as much.
: I'm not sure why this is increasing so much over time, but thinking about
: ASLR and ways to make ASLR better, I expect that this will continue to
: increase going forward. I would not be surprised if we hit 5000 VMAs on
: the main Android process (system_server) by 2020.
:
: If we assume that the number of VMAs is going to increase over time, then
: doing anything we can do to reduce the overhead of each VMA during PSS
: collection seems like the right way to go, and that means outputting an
: aggregate statistic (to avoid whatever overhead there is per line in
: writing smaps and in reading each line from userspace).
