* mm: convert generic code to 5-level pagingKirill A. Shutemov2017-03-091-3/+23
| | | | | | | | | | | Convert all non-architecture-specific code to 5-level paging. It's mostly mechanical adding handling one more page table level in places where we deal with pud_t.

* mm/autonuma: let architecture override how the write bit should be stashed ↵Aneesh Kumar K.V2017-02-241-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | in a protnone pte. Patch series "Numabalancing preserve write fix", v2. This patch series address an issue w.r.t THP migration and autonuma preserve write feature. migrate_misplaced_transhuge_page() cannot deal with concurrent modification of the page. It does a page copy without following the migration pte sequence. IIUC, this was done to keep the migration simpler and at the time of implemenation we didn't had THP page cache which would have required a more elaborate migration scheme. That means thp autonuma migration expect the protnone with saved write to be done such that both kernel and user cannot update the page content. This patch series enables archs like ppc64 to do that. We are good with the hash translation mode with the current code, because we never create a hardware page table entry for a protnone pte. This patch (of 2): Autonuma preserves the write permission across numa fault to avoid taking a writefault after a numa fault (Commit: b191f9b106ea " mm: numa: preserve PTE write permissions across a NUMA hinting fault"). Architecture can implement protnone in different ways and some may choose to implement that by clearing Read/ Write/Exec bit of pte. Setting the write bit on such pte can result in wrong behaviour. Fix this up by allowing arch to override how to save the write bit on a protnone pte.

* mm: mprotect: use pmd_trans_unstable instead of taking the pmd_lockAndrea Arcangeli2017-02-221-31/+15
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | pmd_trans_unstable does an atomic read on the pmd so it doesn't require the pmd_lock for the same check. This also removes the special assumption that the mmap_sem is hold for writing if prot_numa is not set. userfaultfd will hold the mmap_sem only for reading in change_pte_range like prot_numa, but it will not set prot_numa. This is always a valid micro-optimization regardless of userfaultfd.

* mm/pkeys: generate pkey system call code only if ARCH_HAS_PKEYS is selectedHeiko Carstens2016-12-121-0/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Having code for the pkey_mprotect, pkey_alloc and pkey_free system calls makes only sense if ARCH_HAS_PKEYS is selected. If not selected these system calls will always return -ENOSPC or -EINVAL. To simplify things and have less code generate the pkey system call code only if ARCH_HAS_PKEYS is selected. For architectures which have already wired up the system calls, but do not select ARCH_HAS_PKEYS this will result in less generated code and a different return code: the three system calls will now always return -ENOSYS, using the cond_syscall mechanism. For architectures which have not wired up the system calls less unreachable code will be generated.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | While doing MADV_DONTNEED on a large area of thp memory, I noticed we encountered many unlikely() branches in profiles for each backing hugepage. This is because zap_pmd_range() would call split_huge_pmd(), which rechecked the conditions that were already validated, but as part of an unlikely() branch. Avoid the unlikely() branch when in a context where pmd is known to be good for __split_huge_pmd() directly.

* mm/mprotect.c: don't touch single threaded PTEs which are on the right nodeAndi Kleen2016-12-121-0/+13
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | We had some problems with pages getting unmapped in single threaded affinitized processes. It was tracked down to NUMA scanning. In this case it doesn't make any sense to unmap pages if the process is single threaded and the page is already on the node the process is running on. Add a check for this case into the numa protection code, and skip unmapping if true. In theory the process could be migrated later, but we will eventually rescan and unmap and migrate then. In theory this could be made more fancy: remembering this state per process or even whole mm. However that would need extra tracking and be more complicated, and the simple check seems to work fine so far. [ak@linux.intel.com: v3: Minor updates from Mel.

The kernel tracks which numbers are in use, and only allows operations on keys that are valid. A key which was not obtained by pkey_alloc() may not, for instance, be passed to pkey_mprotect(). These system calls are also very important given the kernel's use of pkeys to implement execute-only support. These help ensure that userspace can never assume that it has control of a key unless it first asks the kernel. The kernel does not promise to preserve PKRU (right register) contents except for allocated pkeys. The 'init_access_rights' argument to pkey_alloc() specifies the rights that will be established for the returned pkey. For instance: pkey = pkey_alloc(flags, PKEY_DENY_WRITE); will allocate 'pkey', but also sets the bits in PKRU[1] such that writing to 'pkey' is already denied. The kernel does not prevent pkey_free() from successfully freeing in-use pkeys (those still assigned to a memory range by pkey_mprotect()). It would be expensive to implement the checks for this, so we instead say, "Just don't do it" since sane software will never do it anyway. Any piece of userspace calling pkey_alloc() needs to be prepared for it to fail. Why? pkey_alloc() returns the same error code (ENOSPC) when there are no pkeys and when pkeys are unsupported. They can be unsupported for a whole host of reasons, so apps must be prepared for this. Also, libraries or LD_PRELOADs might steal keys before an application gets access to them. This allocation mechanism could be implemented in userspace. Even if we did it in userspace, we would still need additional user/kernel interfaces to tell userspace which keys are being used by the kernel internally (such as for execute-only mappings). Having the kernel provide this facility completely removes the need for these additional interfaces, or having an implementation of this in userspace at all. Note that we have to make changes to all of the architectures that do not use mman-common.h because we use the new PKEY_DENY_ACCESS/WRITE macros in arch-independent code. 1. PKRU is the Protection Key Rights User register. It is a usermode-accessible register that controls whether writes and/or access to each individual pkey is allowed or denied.

| * x86/pkeys: Make mprotect_key() mask off additional vm_flagsDave Hansen2016-09-091-1/+10
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Today, mprotect() takes 4 bits of data: PROT_READ/WRITE/EXEC/NONE. Three of those bits: READ/WRITE/EXEC get translated directly in to vma->vm_flags by calc_vm_prot_bits(). If a bit is unset in mprotect()'s 'prot' argument then it must be cleared in vma->vm_flags during the mprotect() call. We do this clearing today by first calculating the VMA flags we want set, then clearing the ones we do not want to inherit from the original VMA: vm_flags = calc_vm_prot_bits(prot, key); ... newflags = vm_flags; newflags |= (vma->vm_flags & ~(VM_READ | VM_WRITE | VM_EXEC)); However, we *also* want to mask off the original VMA's vm_flags in which we store the protection key. To do that, this patch adds a new macro: ARCH_VM_PKEY_FLAGS which allows the architecture to specify additional bits that it would like cleared. We use that to ensure that the VM_PKEY_BIT* bits get cleared.

| * mm: Implement new pkey_mprotect() system callDave Hansen2016-09-091-4/+26
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | pkey_mprotect() is just like mprotect, except it also takes a protection key as an argument. On systems that do not support protection keys, it still works, but requires that key=0. Otherwise it does exactly what mprotect does. I expect it to get used like this, if you want to guarantee that any mapping you create can *never* be accessed without the right protection keys set up. int real_prot = PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE; pkey = pkey_alloc(0, PKEY_DENY_ACCESS); ptr = mmap(NULL, PAGE_SIZE, PROT_NONE, MAP_ANONYMOUS|MAP_PRIVATE, -1, 0); ret = pkey_mprotect(ptr, PAGE_SIZE, real_prot, pkey); This way, there is *no* window where the mapping is accessible since it was always either PROT_NONE or had a protection key set that denied all access. We settled on 'unsigned long' for the type of the key here. We only need 4 bits on x86 today, but I figured that other architectures might need some more space. Semantically, we have a bit of a problem if we combine this syscall with our previously-introduced execute-only support: What do we do when we mix execute-only pkey use with pkey_mprotect() use? For instance: pkey_mprotect(ptr, PAGE_SIZE, PROT_WRITE, 6); // set pkey=6 mprotect(ptr, PAGE_SIZE, PROT_EXEC); // set pkey=X_ONLY_PKEY? mprotect(ptr, PAGE_SIZE, PROT_WRITE); // is pkey=6 again? To solve that, we make the plain-mprotect()-initiated execute-only support only apply to VMAs that have the default protection key (0) set on them. Proposed semantics: 1. protection key 0 is special and represents the default, "unassigned" protection key. It is always allocated. 2. mprotect() never affects a mapping's pkey_mprotect()-assigned protection key. A protection key of 0 (even if set explicitly) represents an unassigned protection key. 2a. mprotect(PROT_EXEC) on a mapping with an assigned protection key may or may not result in a mapping with execute-only properties. pkey_mprotect() plus pkey_set() on all threads should be used to _guarantee_ execute-only semantics if this is not a strong enough semantic. 3. mprotect(PROT_EXEC) may result in an "execute-only" mapping. The kernel will internally attempt to allocate and dedicate a protection key for the purpose of execute-only mappings. This may not be possible in cases where there are no free protection keys available. It can also happen, of course, in situations where there is no hardware support for protection keys.

* | mm: vma_merge: fix vm_page_prot SMP race condition against rmap_walkAndrea Arcangeli2016-10-071-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The rmap_walk can access vm_page_prot (and potentially vm_flags in the pte/pmd manipulations). So it's not safe to wait the caller to update the vm_page_prot/vm_flags after vma_merge returned potentially removing the "next" vma and extending the "current" vma over the next->vm_start,vm_end range, but still with the "current" vma vm_page_prot, after releasing the rmap locks. The vm_page_prot/vm_flags must be transferred from the "next" vma to the current vma while vma_merge still holds the rmap locks. The side effect of this race condition is pte corruption during migrate as remove_migration_ptes when run on a address of the "next" vma that got removed, used the vm_page_prot of the current vma. migrate mprotect ------------ ------------- migrating in "next" vma vma_merge() # removes "next" vma and # extends "current" vma # current vma is not with # vm_page_prot updated remove_migration_ptes read vm_page_prot of current "vma" establish pte with wrong permissions vm_set_page_prot(vma) # too late! change_protection in the old vma range only, next range is not updated This caused segmentation faults and potentially memory corruption in heavy mprotect loads with some light page migration caused by compaction in the background. Hugh Dickins pointed out the comment about the Odd case 8 in vma_merge which confirms the case 8 is only buggy one where the race can trigger, in all other vma_merge cases the above cannot happen. This fix removes the oddness factor from case 8 and it converts it from: AAAA PPPPNNNNXXXX -> PPPPNNNNNNNN to: AAAA PPPPNNNNXXXX -> PPPPXXXXXXXX XXXX has the right vma properties for the whole merged vma returned by vma_adjust, so it solves the problem fully. It has the added benefits that the callers could stop updating vma properties when vma_merge succeeds however the callers are not updated by this patch (there are bits like VM_SOFTDIRTY that still need special care for the whole range, as the vma merging ignores them, but as long as they're not processed by rmap walks and instead they're accessed with the mmap_sem at least for reading, they are fine not to be updated within vma_adjust before releasing the rmap_locks).

* mm: make mmap_sem for write waits killable for mm syscallsMichal Hocko2016-05-231-1/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This is a follow up work for oom_reaper [1]. As the async OOM killing depends on oom_sem for read we would really appreciate if a holder for write didn't stood in the way. This patchset is changing many of down_write calls to be killable to help those cases when the writer is blocked and waiting for readers to release the lock and so help __oom_reap_task to process the oom victim. Most of the patches are really trivial because the lock is help from a shallow syscall paths where we can return EINTR trivially and allow the current task to die (note that EINTR will never get to the userspace as the task has fatal signal pending). Others seem to be easy as well as the callers are already handling fatal errors and bail and return to userspace which should be sufficient to handle the failure gracefully. I am not familiar with all those code paths so a deeper review is really appreciated. As this work is touching more areas which are not directly connected I have tried to keep the CC list as small as possible and people who I believed would be familiar are CCed only to the specific patches (all should have received the cover though). This patchset is based on linux-next and it depends on down_write_killable for rw_semaphores which got merged into tip locking/rwsem branch and it is merged into this next tree. I guess it would be easiest to route these patches via mmotm because of the dependency on the tip tree but if respective maintainers prefer other way I have no objections. I haven't covered all the mmap_write(mm->mmap_sem) instances here $ git grep "down_write(.*\<mmap_sem\>)" next/master | wc -l 98 $ git grep "down_write(.*\<mmap_sem\>)" | wc -l 62 I have tried to cover those which should be relatively easy to review in this series because this alone should be a nice improvement. Other places can be changed on top.

It focuses on the trivial ones which are taking the lock early after entering the syscall and they are not changing state before. Therefore it is very easy to change them to use down_write_killable and immediately return with -EINTR. This will allow the waiter to pass away without blocking the mmap_sem which might be required to make a forward progress. E.g. the oom reaper will need the lock for reading to dismantle the OOM victim address space. The only tricky function in this patch is vm_mmap_pgoff which has many call sites via vm_mmap. To reduce the risk keep vm_mmap with the original non-killable semantic for now. vm_munmap callers do not bother checking the return value so open code it into the munmap syscall path for now for simplicity.

* mm/mprotect.c: don't imply PROT_EXEC on non-exec fsPiotr Kwapulinski2016-03-221-5/+8
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The mprotect(PROT_READ) fails when called by the READ_IMPLIES_EXEC binary on a memory mapped file located on non-exec fs. The mprotect does not check whether fs is _executable_ or not. The PROT_EXEC flag is set automatically even if a memory mapped file is located on non-exec fs. Fix it by checking whether a memory mapped file is located on a non-exec fs. If so the PROT_EXEC is not implied by the PROT_READ. The implementation uses the VM_MAYEXEC flag set properly in mmap. Now it is consistent with mmap. I did the isolated tests (PT_GNU_STACK X/NX, multiple VMAs, X/NX fs). I also patched the official 3.19.0-47-generic Ubuntu 14.04 kernel and it seems to work.

* mm/core, x86/mm/pkeys: Add execute-only protection keys supportDave Hansen2016-02-181-4/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Protection keys provide new page-based protection in hardware. But, they have an interesting attribute: they only affect data accesses and never affect instruction fetches. That means that if we set up some memory which is set as "access-disabled" via protection keys, we can still execute from it. This patch uses protection keys to set up mappings to do just that. If a user calls: mmap(..., PROT_EXEC); or mprotect(ptr, sz, PROT_EXEC); (note PROT_EXEC-only without PROT_READ/WRITE), the kernel will notice this, and set a special protection key on the memory. It also sets the appropriate bits in the Protection Keys User Rights (PKRU) register so that the memory becomes unreadable and unwritable. I haven't found any userspace that does this today. With this facility in place, we expect userspace to move to use it eventually. Userspace _could_ start doing this today. Any PROT_EXEC calls get converted to PROT_READ inside the kernel, and would transparently be upgraded to "true" PROT_EXEC with this code. IOW, userspace never has to do any PROT_EXEC runtime detection. This feature provides enhanced protection against leaking executable memory contents. This helps thwart attacks which are attempting to find ROP gadgets on the fly. But, the security provided by this approach is not comprehensive. The PKRU register which controls access permissions is a normal user register writable from unprivileged userspace. An attacker who can execute the 'wrpkru' instruction can easily disable the protection provided by this feature. The protection key that is used for execute-only support is permanently dedicated at compile time. This is fine for now because there is currently no API to set a protection key other than this one. Despite there being a constant PKRU value across the entire system, we do not set it unless this feature is in use in a process. That is to preserve the PKRU XSAVE 'init state', which can lead to faster context switches. PKRU *is* a user register and the kernel is modifying it. That means that code doing: pkru = rdpkru() pkru |= 0x100; mmap(..., PROT_EXEC); wrpkru(pkru); could lose the bits in PKRU that enforce execute-only permissions. To avoid this, we suggest avoiding ever calling mmap() or mprotect() when the PKRU value is expected to be unstable.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | DAX implements split_huge_pmd() by clearing pmd. This simple approach reduces memory overhead, as we don't need to deposit page table on huge page mapping to make split_huge_pmd() never-fail. PTE table can be allocated and populated later on page fault from backing store. But one side effect is that have to check if pmd is pmd_none() after split_huge_pmd(). In most places we do this already to deal with parallel MADV_DONTNEED. But I found two call sites which is not affected by MADV_DONTNEED (due down_write(mmap_sem)), but need to have the check to work with DAX properly. Signed-off-by: Kirill A.

* mm: softdirty: enable write notifications on VMAs after VM_SOFTDIRTY clearedPeter Feiner2014-10-141-15/+5
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | For VMAs that don't want write notifications, PTEs created for read faults have their write bit set. If the read fault happens after VM_SOFTDIRTY is cleared, then the PTE's softdirty bit will remain clear after subsequent writes. Here's a simple code snippet to demonstrate the bug: char* m = mmap(NULL, getpagesize(), PROT_READ | PROT_WRITE, MAP_ANONYMOUS | MAP_SHARED, -1, 0); system("echo 4 > /proc/$PPID/clear_refs"); /* clear VM_SOFTDIRTY */ assert(*m == '\0'); /* new PTE allows write access */ assert(!soft_dirty(x)); *m = 'x'; /* should dirty the page */ assert(soft_dirty(x)); /* fails */ With this patch, write notifications are enabled when VM_SOFTDIRTY is cleared. Furthermore, to avoid unnecessary faults, write notifications are disabled when VM_SOFTDIRTY is set. As a side effect of enabling and disabling write notifications with care, this patch fixes a bug in mprotect where vm_page_prot bits set by drivers were zapped on mprotect. An analogous bug was fixed in mmap by commit c9d0bf241451 ("mm: uncached vma support with writenotify").

* mm: move mmu notifier call from change_protection to change_pmd_rangeRik van Riel2014-04-071-3/+12
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The NUMA scanning code can end up iterating over many gigabytes of unpopulated memory, especially in the case of a freshly started KVM guest with lots of memory. This results in the mmu notifier code being called even when there are no mapped pages in a virtual address range. The amount of time wasted can be enough to trigger soft lockup warnings with very large KVM guests. This patch moves the mmu notifier call to the pmd level, which represents 1GB areas of memory on x86-64. Furthermore, the mmu notifier code is only called from the address in the PMD where present mappings are first encountered. The hugetlbfs code is left alone for now; hugetlb mappings are not relocatable, and as such are left alone by the NUMA code, and should never trigger this problem to begin with.

* mm: Use ptep/pmdp_set_numa() for updating _PAGE_NUMA bitAneesh Kumar K.V2014-02-171-3/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Archs like ppc64 doesn't do tlb flush in set_pte/pmd functions when using a hash table MMU for various reasons (the flush is handled as part of the PTE modification when necessary). ppc64 thus doesn't implement flush_tlb_range for hash based MMUs. Additionally ppc64 require the tlb flushing to be batched within ptl locks. The reason to do that is to ensure that the hash page table is in sync with linux page table. We track the hpte index in linux pte and if we clear them without flushing hash and drop the ptl lock, we can have another cpu update the pte and can end up with duplicate entry in the hash table, which is fatal. We also want to keep set_pte_at simpler by not requiring them to do hash flush for performance reason. We do that by assuming that set_pte_at() is never *ever* called on a PTE that is already valid. This was the case until the NUMA code went in which broke that assumption. Fix that by introducing a new pair of helpers to set _PAGE_NUMA in a way similar to ptep/pmdp_set_wrprotect(), with a generic implementation using set_pte_at() and a powerpc specific one using the appropriate mechanism needed to keep the hash table in sync.

* mm: fix TLB flush race between migration, and change_protection_rangeRik van Riel2013-12-181-0/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | There are a few subtle races, between change_protection_range (used by mprotect and change_prot_numa) on one side, and NUMA page migration and compaction on the other side. The basic race is that there is a time window between when the PTE gets made non-present (PROT_NONE or NUMA), and the TLB is flushed. During that time, a CPU may continue writing to the page. This is fine most of the time, however compaction or the NUMA migration code may come in, and migrate the page away. When that happens, the CPU may continue writing, through the cached translation, to what is no longer the current memory location of the process. This only affects x86, which has a somewhat optimistic pte_accessible. All other architectures appear to be safe, and will either always flush, or flush whenever there is a valid mapping, even with no permissions (SPARC). The basic race looks like this: CPU A CPU B CPU C load TLB entry make entry PTE/PMD_NUMA fault on entry read/write old page start migrating page change PTE/PMD to new page read/write old page [*] flush TLB reload TLB from new entry read/write new page lose data [*] the old page may belong to a new user at this point! The obvious fix is to flush remote TLB entries, by making sure that pte_accessible aware of the fact that PROT_NONE and PROT_NUMA memory may still be accessible if there is a TLB flush pending for the mm. This should fix both NUMA migration and compaction.

Altering the return value causes the scanner to do more work than it is configured or documented to in a single unit of work. This patch reverts that commit and accounts for the number of THP updates separately in vmstat. It is up to the administrator to interpret the pair of values correctly. This is a straight-forward operation and likely to only be of interest when actively debugging NUMA balancing problems. The impact of this patch is that the NUMA PTE scanner will scan slower when THP is enabled and workloads may converge slower as a result.

* | mm: numa: Do not batch handle PMD pagesMel Gorman2013-10-091-45/+2

The problem is related to handling PMD pages in batch. When a page fault is handled it can be assumed that the page being faulted will also be flushed from the TLB. The same flushing does not happen when handling PMD pages in batch. Fixing is straight forward but there are a number of reasons not to 1. Multiple TLB flushes may have to be sent depending on what pages get migrated 2. The handling of PMDs in batch means that faults get accounted to the task that is handling the fault. While care is taken to only mark PMDs where the last CPU and PID match it can still have problems due to PID truncation when matching PIDs. 3. Batching on the PMD level may reduce faults but setting pmd_numa requires taking a heavy lock that can contend with THP migration and handling the fault requires the release/acquisition of the PTL for every page migrated. It's still pretty heavy. PMD batch handling is not something that people ever have been happy with. This patch removes it and later patches will deal with the additional fault overhead using more installigent migrate rate adaption.

* | sched/numa: Set preferred NUMA node based on number of private faultsMel Gorman2013-10-091-9/+17

If treated identically there is a risk that shared pages bounce between nodes depending on the order they are referenced by tasks. Ultimately what is desirable is that task private pages remain local to the task while shared pages are interleaved between sharing tasks running on different nodes to give good average performance. This is further complicated by THP as even applications that partition their data may not be partitioning on a huge page boundary. To start with, this patch assumes that multi-threaded or multi-process applications partition their data and that in general the private accesses are more important for cpu->memory locality in the general case. Also, no new infrastructure is required to treat private pages properly but interleaving for shared pages requires additional infrastructure. To detect private accesses the pid of the last accessing task is required but the storage requirements are a high. This patch borrows heavily from Ingo Molnar's patch "numa, mm, sched: Implement last-CPU+PID hash tracking" to encode some bits from the last accessing task in the page flags as well as the node information. Collisions will occur but it is better than just depending on the node information. Node information is then used to determine if a page needs to migrate. The PID information is used to detect private/shared accesses. The preferred NUMA node is selected based on where the maximum number of approximately private faults were measured. Shared faults are not taken into consideration for a few reasons. First, if there are many tasks sharing the page then they'll all move towards the same node. The node will be compute overloaded and then scheduled away later only to bounce back again. Alternatively the shared tasks would just bounce around nodes because the fault information is effectively noise. Either way accounting for shared faults the same as private faults can result in lower performance overall. The second reason is based on a hypothetical workload that has a small number of very important, heavily accessed private pages but a large shared array. The shared array would dominate the number of faults and be selected as a preferred node even though it's the wrong decision. The third reason is that multiple threads in a process will race each other to fault the shared page making the fault information unreliable.

Migrating such pages is not beneficial as there is an expectation they are read-shared between caches and iTLB and iCache pressure is generally low.
