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.

* | ARC: Add eBPF JIT supportShahab Vahedi2024-05-121-0/+1
|/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This will add eBPF JIT support to the 32-bit ARCv2 processors. The implementation is qualified by running the BPF tests on a Synopsys HSDK board with "ARC HS38 v2.1c at 500 MHz" as the 4-core CPU. The test_bpf.ko reports 2-10 fold improvements in execution time of its tests. For instance: test_bpf: #33 tcpdump port 22 jited:0 704 1766 2104 PASS test_bpf: #33 tcpdump port 22 jited:1 120 224 260 PASS test_bpf: #141 ALU_DIV_X: 4294967295 / 4294967295 = 1 jited:0 238 PASS test_bpf: #141 ALU_DIV_X: 4294967295 / 4294967295 = 1 jited:1 23 PASS test_bpf: #776 JMP32_JGE_K: all ... magnitudes jited:0 2034681 PASS test_bpf: #776 JMP32_JGE_K: all ... magnitudes jited:1 1020022 PASS Deployment and structure ------------------------ The related codes are added to "arch/arc/net": - bpf_jit.h -- The interface that a back-end translator must provide - bpf_jit_core.c -- Knows how to handle the input eBPF byte stream - bpf_jit_arcv2.c -- The back-end code that knows the translation logic The bpf_int_jit_compile() at the end of bpf_jit_core.c is the entrance to the whole process. Normally, the translation is done in one pass, namely the "normal pass". In case some relocations are not known during this pass, some data (arc_jit_data) is allocated for the next pass to come. This possible next (and last) pass is called the "extra pass". 1. Normal pass # The necessary pass 1a. Dry run # Get the whole JIT length, epilogue offset, etc. 1b. Emit phase # Allocate memory and start emitting instructions 2. Extra pass # Only needed if there are relocations to be fixed 2a.

If another event is created with a different format, it will fail to be created. That is, once an event name is used, it cannot be used again with a different format. This can cause issues if a library is using an event and updates its format. An application using the older format will prevent an application using the new library from registering its event. A task could also DOS another application if it knows the event names, and it creates events with different formats. The multi-format event is in a different name space from the single format. Both the event name and its format are the unique identifier. This will allow two different applications to use the same user event name but with different payloads. - Added support to have ftrace_dump_on_oops dump out instances and not just the main top level tracing buffer. Other changes: - Add eventfs_root_inode Only the root inode has a dentry that is static (never goes away) and stores it upon creation. There's no reason that the thousands of other eventfs inodes should have a pointer that never gets set in its descriptor. Create a eventfs_root_inode desciptor that has a eventfs_inode descriptor and a dentry pointer, and only the root inode will use this. - Added WARN_ON()s in eventfs There's some conditionals remaining in eventfs that should never be hit, but instead of removing them, add WARN_ON() around them to make sure that they are never hit. - Have saved_cmdlines allocation also include the map_cmdline_to_pid array The saved_cmdlines structure allocates a large amount of data to hold its mappings. Within it, it has three arrays. Two are already apart of it: map_pid_to_cmdline[] and saved_cmdlines[]. More memory can be saved by also including the map_cmdline_to_pid[] array as well. - Restructure __string() and __assign_str() macros used in TRACE_EVENT() Dynamic strings in TRACE_EVENT() are declared with: __string(name, source) And assigned with: __assign_str(name, source) In the tracepoint callback of the event, the __string() is used to get the size needed to allocate on the ring buffer and __assign_str() is used to copy the string into the ring buffer. There's a helper structure that is created in the TRACE_EVENT() macro logic that will hold the string length and its position in the ring buffer which is created by __string(). There are several trace events that have a function to create the string to save. This function is executed twice. Once for __string() and again for __assign_str(). There's no reason for this. The helper structure could also save the string it used in __string() and simply copy that into __assign_str() (it also already has its length). By using the structure to store the source string for the assignment, it means that the second argument to __assign_str() is no longer needed. It will be removed in the next merge window, but for now add a warning if the source string given to __string() is different than the source string given to __assign_str(), as the source to __assign_str() isn't even used and will be going away. - Added checks to make sure that the source of __string() is also the source of __assign_str() so that it can be safely removed in the next merge window. Included fixes that the above check found. - Other minor clean ups and fixes" * tag 'trace-v6.9-2' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/trace/linux-trace: (34 commits) tracing: Add __string_src() helper to help compilers not to get confused tracing: Use strcmp() in __assign_str() WARN_ON() check tracepoints: Use WARN() and not WARN_ON() for warnings tracing: Use div64_u64() instead of do_div() tracing: Support to dump instance traces by ftrace_dump_on_oops tracing: Remove second parameter to __assign_rel_str() tracing: Add warning if string in __assign_str() does not match __string() tracing: Add __string_len() example tracing: Remove __assign_str_len() ftrace: Fix most kernel-doc warnings tracing: Decrement the snapshot if the snapshot trigger fails to register tracing: Fix snapshot counter going between two tracers that use it tracing: Use EVENT_NULL_STR macro instead of open coding "(null)" tracing: Use ? : shortcut in trace macros tracing: Do not calculate strlen() twice for __string() fields tracing: Rework __assign_str() and __string() to not duplicate getting the string cxl/trace: Properly initialize cxl_poison region name net: hns3: tracing: fix hclgevf trace event strings drm/i915: Add missing ; to __assign_str() macros in tracepoint code NFSD: Fix nfsd_clid_class use of __string_len() macro ...
| * tracing: Support to dump instance traces by ftrace_dump_on_oopsHuang Yiwei2024-03-181-6/+24
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Currently ftrace only dumps the global trace buffer on an OOPs. For debugging a production usecase, instance trace will be helpful to check specific problems since global trace buffer may be used for other purposes. This patch extend the ftrace_dump_on_oops parameter to dump a specific or multiple trace instances: - ftrace_dump_on_oops=0: as before -- don't dump - ftrace_dump_on_oops[=1]: as before -- dump the global trace buffer on all CPUs - ftrace_dump_on_oops=2 or =orig_cpu: as before -- dump the global trace buffer on CPU that triggered the oops - ftrace_dump_on_oops=<instance_name>: new behavior -- dump the tracing instance matching <instance_name> - ftrace_dump_on_oops[=2/orig_cpu],<instance1_name>[=2/orig_cpu], <instrance2_name>[=2/orig_cpu]: new behavior -- dump the global trace buffer and multiple instance buffer on all CPUs, or only dump on CPU that triggered the oops if =2 or =orig_cpu is given Also, the sysctl node can handle the input accordingly.

On today's large servers running many containers, there could be thousands of tasks or more, and this will print out huge amount of call stacks, taking a lot of time (for serial console which is main target user case of panic_print). And in many cases, only those several tasks being blocked are key for the panic, so add an option to only dump blocked tasks' call stacks.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | After 25b21cb2f6d6 ("[PATCH] IPC namespace core") and 4e9823111bdc ("[PATCH] IPC namespace - shm") the shared memory page count stopped being global and started counting per ipc namespace. The documentation and shmget(2) still says that shmall is a global option. shmget(2): SHMALL System-wide limit on the total amount of shared memory, measured in units of the system page size. On Linux, this limit can be read and modified via /proc/sys/kernel/shmall. I think the changes made in 2006 should be documented.

Commit 3cd3399dd7a8 ("net: implement per-cpu reserves for memory_allocated") introduced per-cpu forward alloc cache: "Implement a per-cpu cache of +1/-1 MB, to reduce number of changes to sk->sk_prot->memory_allocated, which would otherwise be cause of false sharing." sk_prot->memory_allocated points to global atomic variable: atomic_long_t tcp_memory_allocated ____cacheline_aligned_in_smp; If increasing the per-cpu cache size from 1MB to e.g. 16MB, changes to sk->sk_prot->memory_allocated can be further reduced.

Increase single TCP flow performance on a 200Gbit NIC by 20% (100Gbit -> 120Gbit). - The Fair Queuing (FQ) packet scheduler: - add built-in 3 band prio / WRR scheduling - support bypass if the qdisc is mostly idle (5% speed up for TCP RR) - improve inactive flow reporting - optimize the layout of structures for better cache locality - Support TCP Authentication Option (RFC 5925, TCP-AO), a more modern replacement for the old MD5 option. - Add more retransmission timeout (RTO) related statistics to TCP_INFO. - Support sending fragmented skbs over vsock sockets. - Make sure we send SIGPIPE for vsock sockets if socket was shutdown(). - Add sysctl for ignoring lower limit on lifetime in Router Advertisement PIO, based on an in-progress IETF draft. - Add sysctl to control activation of TCP ping-pong mode. - Add sysctl to make connection timeout in MPTCP configurable. - Support rcvlowat and notsent_lowat on MPTCP sockets, to help apps limit the number of wakeups. - Support netlink GET for MDB (multicast forwarding), allowing user space to request a single MDB entry instead of dumping the entire table. - Support selective FDB flushing in the VXLAN tunnel driver. - Allow limiting learned FDB entries in bridges, prevent OOM attacks. - Allow controlling via configfs netconsole targets which were created via the kernel cmdline at boot, rather than via configfs at runtime. - Support multiple PTP timestamp event queue readers with different filters. - MCTP over I3C. BPF: - Add new veth-like netdevice where BPF program defines the logic of the xmit routine. It can operate in L3 and L2 mode. - Support exceptions - allow asserting conditions which should never be true but are hard for the verifier to infer. With some extra flexibility around handling of the exit / failure: https://lwn.net/Articles/938435/ - Add support for local per-cpu kptr, allow allocating and storing per-cpu objects in maps. Access to those objects operates on the value for the current CPU. This allows to deprecate local one-off implementations of per-CPU storage like BPF_MAP_TYPE_PERCPU_CGROUP_STORAGE maps. - Extend cgroup BPF sockaddr hooks for UNIX sockets. The use case is for systemd to re-implement the LogNamespace feature which allows running multiple instances of systemd-journald to process the logs of different services. - Enable open-coded task_vma iteration, after maple tree conversion made it hard to directly walk VMAs in tracing programs. - Add open-coded task, css_task and css iterator support. One of the use cases is customizable OOM victim selection via BPF. - Allow source address selection with bpf_*_fib_lookup(). - Add ability to pin BPF timer to the current CPU. - Prevent creation of infinite loops by combining tail calls and fentry/fexit programs. - Add missed stats for kprobes to retrieve the number of missed kprobe executions and subsequent executions of BPF programs. - Inherit system settings for CPU security mitigations. - Add BPF v4 CPU instruction support for arm32 and s390x. Changes to common code: - overflow: add DEFINE_FLEX() for on-stack definition of structs with flexible array members. - Process doc update with more guidance for reviewers. Driver API: - Simplify locking in WiFi (cfg80211 and mac80211 layers), use wiphy mutex in most places and remove a lot of smaller locks. - Create a common DPLL configuration API. Allow configuring and querying state of PLL circuits used for clock syntonization, in network time distribution. - Unify fragmented and full page allocation APIs in page pool code. Let drivers be ignorant of PAGE_SIZE. - Rework PHY state machine to avoid races with calls to phy_stop(). - Notify DSA drivers of MAC address changes on user ports, improve correctness of offloads which depend on matching port MAC addresses. - Allow antenna control on injected WiFi frames. - Reduce the number of variants of napi_schedule(). - Simplify error handling when composing devlink health messages. Misc: - A lot of KCSAN data race "fixes", from Eric. - A lot of __counted_by() annotations, from Kees. - A lot of strncpy -> strscpy and printf format fixes. - Replace master/slave terminology with conduit/user in DSA drivers. - Handful of KUnit tests for netdev and WiFi core. Removed: - AppleTalk COPS. - AppleTalk ipddp. - TI AR7 CPMAC Ethernet driver. Drivers: - Ethernet high-speed NICs: - Intel (100G, ice, idpf): - add a driver for the Intel E2000 IPUs - make CRC/FCS stripping configurable - cross-timestamping for E823 devices - basic support for E830 devices - use aux-bus for managing client drivers - i40e: report firmware versions via devlink - nVidia/Mellanox: - support 4-port NICs - increase max number of channels to 256 - optimize / parallelize SF creation flow - Broadcom (bnxt): - enhance NIC temperature reporting - support PAM4 speeds and lane configuration - Marvell OcteonTX2: - PTP pulse-per-second output support - enable hardware timestamping for VFs - Solarflare/AMD: - conntrack NAT offload and offload for tunnels - Wangxun (ngbe/txgbe): - expose HW statistics - Pensando/AMD: - support PCI level reset - narrow down the condition under which skbs are linearized - Netronome/Corigine (nfp): - support CHACHA20-POLY1305 crypto in IPsec offload - Ethernet NICs embedded, slower, virtual: - Synopsys (stmmac): - add Loongson-1 SoC support - enable use of HW queues with no offload capabilities - enable PPS input support on all 5 channels - increase TX coalesce timer to 5ms - RealTek USB (r8152): improve efficiency of Rx by using GRO frags - xen: support SW packet timestamping - add drivers for implementations based on TI's PRUSS (AM64x EVM) - nVidia/Mellanox Ethernet datacenter switches: - avoid poor HW resource use on Spectrum-4 by better block selection for IPv6 multicast forwarding and ordering of blocks in ACL region - Ethernet embedded switches: - Microchip: - support configuring the drive strength for EMI compliance - ksz9477: partial ACL support - ksz9477: HSR offload - ksz9477: Wake on LAN - Realtek: - rtl8366rb: respect device tree config of the CPU port - Ethernet PHYs: - support Broadcom BCM5221 PHYs - TI dp83867: support hardware LED blinking - CAN: - add support for Linux-PHY based CAN transceivers - at91_can: clean up and use rx-offload helpers - WiFi: - MediaTek (mt76): - new sub-driver for mt7925 USB/PCIe devices - HW wireless <> Ethernet bridging in MT7988 chips - mt7603/mt7628 stability improvements - Qualcomm (ath12k): - WCN7850: - enable 320 MHz channels in 6 GHz band - hardware rfkill support - enable IEEE80211_HW_SINGLE_SCAN_ON_ALL_BANDS to make scan faster - read board data variant name from SMBIOS - QCN9274: mesh support - RealTek (rtw89): - TDMA-based multi-channel concurrency (MCC) - Silicon Labs (wfx): - Remain-On-Channel (ROC) support - Bluetooth: - ISO: many improvements for broadcast support - mark BCM4378/BCM4387 as BROKEN_LE_CODED - add support for QCA2066 - btmtksdio: enable Bluetooth wakeup from suspend" * tag 'net-next-6.7' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/netdev/net-next: (1816 commits) net: pcs: xpcs: Add 2500BASE-X case in get state for XPCS drivers net: bpf: Use sockopt_lock_sock() in ip_sock_set_tos() net: mana: Use xdp_set_features_flag instead of direct assignment vxlan: Cleanup IFLA_VXLAN_PORT_RANGE entry in vxlan_get_size() iavf: delete the iavf client interface iavf: add a common function for undoing the interrupt scheme iavf: use unregister_netdev iavf: rely on netdev's own registered state iavf: fix the waiting time for initial reset iavf: in iavf_down, don't queue watchdog_task if comms failed iavf: simplify mutex_trylock+sleep loops iavf: fix comments about old bit locks doc/netlink: Update schema to support cmd-cnt-name and cmd-max-name tools: ynl: introduce option to process unknown attributes or types ipvlan: properly track tx_errors netdevsim: Block until all devices are released nfp: using napi_build_skb() to replace build_skb() net: dsa: microchip: ksz9477: Fix spelling mistake "Enery" -> "Energy" net: dsa: microchip: Ensure Stable PME Pin State for Wake-on-LAN net: dsa: microchip: Refactor switch shutdown routine for WoL preparation ...

* / sched/topology: Change behaviour of the 'sched_energy_aware' sysctl, based ↵Shrikanth Hegde2023-10-091-1/+2
|/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | on the platform The 'sched_energy_aware' sysctl is available for the admin to disable/enable energy aware scheduling(EAS). EAS is enabled only if few conditions are met by the platform. They are, asymmetric CPU capacity, no SMT, schedutil CPUfreq governor, frequency invariant load tracking etc. A platform may boot without EAS capability, but could gain such capability at runtime. For example, changing/registering the cpufreq governor to schedutil. At present, though platform doesn't support EAS, this sysctl returns 1 and it ends up calling build_perf_domains on write to 1 and NOP when writing to 0. That is confusing and un-necessary. Desired behavior would be to have this sysctl to enable/disable the EAS on supported platform. On non-supported platform write to the sysctl would return not supported error and read of the sysctl would return empty. So sched_energy_aware returns empty - EAS is not possible at this moment This will include EAS capable platforms which have at least one EAS condition false during startup, e.g. not using the schedutil cpufreq governor sched_energy_aware returns 0 - EAS is supported but disabled by admin. sched_energy_aware returns 1 - EAS is supported and enabled. User can find out the reason why EAS is not possible by checking info messages. sched_is_eas_possible returns true if the platform can do EAS at this moment.

The latter will definitely require fixes but I think that we got it to a reasonable point. Core: - Rework the sendpage & splice implementations Instead of feeding data into sockets page by page extend sendmsg handlers to support taking a reference on the data, controlled by a new flag called MSG_SPLICE_PAGES Rework the handling of unexpected-end-of-file to invoke an additional callback instead of trying to predict what the right combination of MORE/NOTLAST flags is Remove the MSG_SENDPAGE_NOTLAST flag completely - Implement SCM_PIDFD, a new type of CMSG type analogous to SCM_CREDENTIALS, but it contains pidfd instead of plain pid - Enable socket busy polling with CONFIG_RT - Improve reliability and efficiency of reporting for ref_tracker - Auto-generate a user space C library for various Netlink families Protocols: - Allow TCP to shrink the advertised window when necessary, prevent sk_rcvbuf auto-tuning from growing the window all the way up to tcp_rmem[2] - Use per-VMA locking for "page-flipping" TCP receive zerocopy - Prepare TCP for device-to-device data transfers, by making sure that payloads are always attached to skbs as page frags - Make the backoff time for the first N TCP SYN retransmissions linear. Exponential backoff is unnecessarily conservative - Create a new MPTCP getsockopt to retrieve all info (MPTCP_FULL_INFO) - Avoid waking up applications using TLS sockets until we have a full record - Allow using kernel memory for protocol ioctl callbacks, paving the way to issuing ioctls over io_uring - Add nolocalbypass option to VxLAN, forcing packets to be fully encapsulated even if they are destined for a local IP address - Make TCPv4 use consistent hash in TIME_WAIT and SYN_RECV. Ensure in-kernel ECMP implementation (e.g. Open vSwitch) select the same link for all packets. Support L4 symmetric hashing in Open vSwitch - PPPoE: make number of hash bits configurable - Allow DNS to be overwritten by DHCPACK in the in-kernel DHCP client (ipconfig) - Add layer 2 miss indication and filtering, allowing higher layers (e.g. ACL filters) to make forwarding decisions based on whether packet matched forwarding state in lower devices (bridge) - Support matching on Connectivity Fault Management (CFM) packets - Hide the "link becomes ready" IPv6 messages by demoting their printk level to debug - HSR: don't enable promiscuous mode if device offloads the proto - Support active scanning in IEEE 802.15.4 - Continue work on Multi-Link Operation for WiFi 7 BPF: - Add precision propagation for subprogs and callbacks. This allows maintaining verification efficiency when subprograms are used, or in fact passing the verifier at all for complex programs, especially those using open-coded iterators - Improve BPF's {g,s}setsockopt() length handling. Previously BPF assumed the length is always equal to the amount of written data. But some protos allow passing a NULL buffer to discover what the output buffer *should* be, without writing anything - Accept dynptr memory as memory arguments passed to helpers - Add routing table ID to bpf_fib_lookup BPF helper - Support O_PATH FDs in BPF_OBJ_PIN and BPF_OBJ_GET commands - Drop bpf_capable() check in BPF_MAP_FREEZE command (used to mark maps as read-only) - Show target_{obj,btf}_id in tracing link fdinfo - Addition of several new kfuncs (most of the names are self-explanatory): - Add a set of new dynptr kfuncs: bpf_dynptr_adjust(), bpf_dynptr_is_null(), bpf_dynptr_is_rdonly(), bpf_dynptr_size() and bpf_dynptr_clone(). - bpf_task_under_cgroup() - bpf_sock_destroy() - force closing sockets - bpf_cpumask_first_and(), rework bpf_cpumask_any*() kfuncs Netfilter: - Relax set/map validation checks in nf_tables.

| * kexec: introduce sysctl parameters kexec_load_limit_*Ricardo Ribalda2023-02-021-0/+18

This is usually a source of concerns for sysadmins that want to harden a system. Linux already provides a way to disable loading new kexec kernel via kexec_load_disabled, but that control is very coard, it is all or nothing and does not make distinction between a panic kexec and a normal kexec. This patch introduces new sysctl parameters, with finer tuning to specify how many times a kexec kernel can be loaded. The sysadmin can set different limits for kexec panic and kexec reboot kernels. The value can be modified at runtime via sysctl, but only with a stricter value. With these new parameters on place, a system with loadpin and verity enabled, using the following kernel parameters: sysctl.kexec_load_limit_reboot=0 sysct.kexec_load_limit_panic=1 can have a good warranty that if initrd tries to load a panic kernel, a malitious user will have small chances to replace that kernel with a different one, even if they can trigger timeouts on the disk where the panic kernel lives.

| * | exit: Put an upper limit on how often we can oopsJann Horn2022-12-011-0/+8
| |/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Many Linux systems are configured to not panic on oops; but allowing an attacker to oops the system **really** often can make even bugs that look completely unexploitable exploitable (like NULL dereferences and such) if each crash elevates a refcount by one or a lock is taken in read mode, and this causes a counter to eventually overflow. The most interesting counters for this are 32 bits wide (like open-coded refcounts that don't use refcount_t). (The ldsem reader count on 32-bit platforms is just 16 bits, but probably nobody cares about 32-bit platforms that much nowadays.) So let's panic the system if the kernel is constantly oopsing. The speed of oopsing 2^32 times probably depends on several factors, like how long the stack trace is and which unwinder you're using; an empirically important one is whether your console is showing a graphical environment or a text console that oopses will be printed to. In a quick single-threaded benchmark, it looks like oopsing in a vfork() child with a very short stack trace only takes ~510 microseconds per run when a graphical console is active; but switching to a text console that oopses are printed to slows it down around 87x, to ~45 milliseconds per run. (Adding more threads makes this faster, but the actual oops printing happens under &die_lock on x86, so you can maybe speed this up by a factor of around 2 and then any further improvement gets eaten up by lock contention.) It looks like it would take around 8-12 days to overflow a 32-bit counter with repeated oopsing on a multi-core X86 system running a graphical environment; both me (in an X86 VM) and Seth (with a distro kernel on normal hardware in a standard configuration) got numbers in that ballpark. 12 days aren't *that* short on a desktop system, and you'd likely need much longer on a typical server system (assuming that people don't run graphical desktop environments on their servers), and this is a *very* noisy and violent approach to exploiting the kernel; and it also seems to take orders of magnitude longer on some machines, probably because stuff like EFI pstore will slow it down a ton if that's active.

There are at least two attempts to improve segfault logging with this regard, but they do not help in case the logs rotate. Hence, lets make sure it is possible to permanently record a CPU the task ran on using a new core_pattern specifier.

* / x86/split_lock: Add sysctl to control the misery modeGuilherme G. Piccoli2022-11-101-0/+23
|/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Commit b041b525dab9 ("x86/split_lock: Make life miserable for split lockers") changed the way the split lock detector works when in "warn" mode; basically, it not only shows the warn message, but also intentionally introduces a slowdown through sleeping plus serialization mechanism on such task. Based on discussions in [0], seems the warning alone wasn't enough motivation for userspace developers to fix their applications. This slowdown is enough to totally break some proprietary (aka. unfixable) userspace[1]. Happens that originally the proposal in [0] was to add a new mode which would warns + slowdown the "split locking" task, keeping the old warn mode untouched. In the end, that idea was discarded and the regular/default "warn" mode now slows down the applications. This is quite aggressive with regards proprietary/legacy programs that basically are unable to properly run in kernel with this change. While it is understandable that a malicious application could DoS by split locking, it seems unacceptable to regress old/proprietary userspace programs through a default configuration that previously worked. An example of such breakage was reported in [1]. Add a sysctl to allow controlling the "misery mode" behavior, as per Thomas suggestion on [2]. This way, users running legacy and/or proprietary software are allowed to still execute them with a decent performance while still observing the warning messages on kernel log.

A choice is to promote/demote as fast as possible. But the CPU cycles and memory bandwidth consumed by the high promoting/demoting throughput will hurt the latency of some workload because of accessing inflating and slow memory bandwidth contention. A way to resolve this issue is to restrict the max promoting/demoting throughput. It will take longer to finish the promoting/demoting. But the workload latency will be better. This is implemented in this patch as the page promotion rate limit mechanism. The number of the candidate pages to be promoted to the fast memory node via NUMA balancing is counted, if the count exceeds the limit specified by the users, the NUMA balancing promotion will be stopped until the next second. A new sysctl knob kernel.numa_balancing_promote_rate_limit_MBps is added for the users to specify the limit.
