This went unnoticed as the array has an exessive empty member at the end but introduced a user visible regression as the output was corrupted. - Prevent further silent ucount corruption by adding a BUILD_BUG_ON() to catch half updated data. * tag 'timers-urgent-2020-04-12' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip: ucount: Make sure ucounts in /proc/sys/user don't regress again time/namespace: Add max_time_namespaces ucount time/namespace: Fix time_for_children symlink

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Michael noticed that userns limit for number of time namespaces is missing. Furthermore, time namespace introduced UCOUNT_TIME_NAMESPACES, but didn't introduce an array member in user_table[]. It would make array's initialisation OOB write, but by luck the user_table array has an excessive empty member (all accesses to the array are limited with UCOUNT_COUNTS - so it silently reuses the last free member. Fixes user-visible regression: max_inotify_instances by reason of the missing UCOUNT_ENTRY() has limited max number of namespaces instead of the number of inotify instances.

| * | mm: hugetlb: optionally allocate gigantic hugepages using cmaRoman Gushchin2020-04-101-0/+8
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Commit 944d9fec8d7a ("hugetlb: add support for gigantic page allocation at runtime") has added the run-time allocation of gigantic pages. However it actually works only at early stages of the system loading, when the majority of memory is free. After some time the memory gets fragmented by non-movable pages, so the chances to find a contiguous 1GB block are getting close to zero. Even dropping caches manually doesn't help a lot. At large scale rebooting servers in order to allocate gigantic hugepages is quite expensive and complex. At the same time keeping some constant percentage of memory in reserved hugepages even if the workload isn't using it is a big waste: not all workloads can benefit from using 1 GB pages. The following solution can solve the problem: 1) On boot time a dedicated cma area* is reserved. The size is passed as a kernel argument. 2) Run-time allocations of gigantic hugepages are performed using the cma allocator and the dedicated cma area In this case gigantic hugepages can be allocated successfully with a high probability, however the memory isn't completely wasted if nobody is using 1GB hugepages: it can be used for pagecache, anon memory, THPs, etc. * On a multi-node machine a per-node cma area is allocated on each node. Following gigantic hugetlb allocation are using the first available numa node if the mask isn't specified by a user. Usage: 1) configure the kernel to allocate a cma area for hugetlb allocations: pass hugetlb_cma=10G as a kernel argument 2) allocate hugetlb pages as usual, e.g. echo 10 > /sys/kernel/mm/hugepages/hugepages-1048576kB/nr_hugepages If the option isn't enabled or the allocation of the cma area failed, the current behavior of the system is preserved. x86 and arm-64 are covered by this patch, other architectures can be trivially added later. The patch contains clean-ups and fixes proposed and implemented by Aslan Bakirov and Randy Dunlap. It also contains ideas and suggestions proposed by Rik van Riel, Michal Hocko and Mike Kravetz.

* | | mm/memory_hotplug.c: only respect mem= parameter during boot stageBaoquan He2020-04-071-2/+11

This truly stops those DIMMs from being added into system memory during boot-time. However, it also limits the later memory hotplug functionality. Any DIMM can't be hotplugged any more if its region is beyond the max_mem_size. We will get errors like: [ 216.387164] acpi PNP0C80:02: add_memory failed [ 216.389301] acpi PNP0C80:02: acpi_memory_enable_device() error [ 216.392187] acpi PNP0C80:02: Enumeration failure This will cause issue in a known use case where 'mem=' is added to the hypervisor. The memory that lies after 'mem=' boundary will be assigned to KVM guests. After commit 357b4da50a62 merged, memory can't be extended dynamically if system memory on hypervisor is not sufficient. So fix it by also checking if it's during boot-time restricting to add memory. Otherwise, skip the restriction. And also add this use case to document of 'mem=' kernel parameter.

* | | mm, thp: track fallbacks due to failed memcg charges separatelyDavid Rientjes2020-04-071-0/+10

This patch leaves this field untouched but adds two new fields, thp_{fault,file}_fallback_charge, which is incremented only when the mem cgroup charge fails. This distinguishes between attempted hugepage allocations that fail due to fragmentation (or low memory conditions) and those that fail due to mem cgroup limits. That can be used to determine the impact of fragmentation on the system by excluding faults that failed due to memcg usage.

Adds a new thp_file_fallback to complement thp_file_alloc that gets incremented when a hugepage is attempted to be allocated but fails, or if it cannot be charged to the mem cgroup hierarchy. Additionally, remove the check for CONFIG_TRANSPARENT_HUGE_PAGECACHE from shmem_alloc_hugepage() since it is only called with this configuration option.

However, the functionality of dynamic debugging still is needed at times, and since it relies on debugfs for its user api, having debugfs disabled also forces dynamic debug to be disabled. To get around this, also create the "control" file for dynamic_debug in procfs. This allows people turn on debugging as needed at runtime for individual driverfs and subsystems.

The reasons for this are mostly historical and ease of implementation: to make delegation of memory.low safe, effective protection is the min() of all memory.low up the tree. Unfortunately, this limitation makes it impossible to protect an entire subtree from another without forcing the user to make explicit protection allocations all the way to the leaf cgroups - something that is highly undesirable in real life scenarios. Consider memory in a data center host. At the cgroup top level, we have a distinction between system management software and the actual workload the system is executing. Both branches are further subdivided into individual services, job components etc. We want to protect the workload as a whole from the system management software, but that doesn't mean we want to protect and prioritize individual workload wrt each other. Their memory demand can vary over time, and we'd want the VM to simply cache the hottest data within the workload subtree. Yet, the current memory.low limitations force us to allocate a fixed amount of protection to each workload component in order to get protection from system management software in general. This results in very inefficient resource distribution. Another concern with mandating downward allocation is that, as the complexity of the cgroup tree grows, it gets harder for the lower levels to be informed about decisions made at the host-level. Consider a container inside a namespace that in turn creates its own nested tree of cgroups to run multiple workloads. It'd be extremely difficult to configure memory.low parameters in those leaf cgroups that on one hand balance pressure among siblings as the container desires, while also reflecting the host-level protection from e.g. rpm upgrades, that lie beyond one or more delegation and namespacing points in the tree. It's highly unusual from a cgroup interface POV that nested levels have to be aware of and reflect decisions made at higher levels for them to be effective. To enable such use cases and scale configurability for complex trees, this patch implements a resource inheritance model for memory that is similar to how the CPU and the IO controller implement work-conserving resource allocations: a share of a resource allocated to a subree always applies to the entire subtree recursively, while allowing, but not mandating, children to further specify distribution rules. That means that if protection is explicitly allocated among siblings, those configured shares are being followed during page reclaim just like they are now. However, if the memory.low set at a higher level is not fully claimed by the children in that subtree, the "floating" remainder is applied to each cgroup in the tree in proportion to its size. Since reclaim pressure is applied in proportion to size as well, each child in that tree gets the same boost, and the effect is neutral among siblings - with respect to each other, they behave as if no memory control was enabled at all, and the VM simply balances the memory demands optimally within the subtree. But collectively those cgroups enjoy a boost over the cgroups in neighboring trees. E.g. a leaf cgroup with a memory.low setting of 0 no longer means that it's not getting a share of the hierarchically assigned resource, just that it doesn't claim a fixed amount of it to protect from its siblings. This allows us to recursively protect one subtree (workload) from another (system management), while letting subgroups compete freely among each other - without having to assign fixed shares to each leaf, and without nested groups having to echo higher-level settings. The floating protection composes naturally with fixed protection. Consider the following example tree: A A: low = 2G / \ A1: low = 1G A1 A2 A2: low = 0G As outside pressure is applied to this tree, A1 will enjoy a fixed protection from A2 of 1G, but the remaining, unclaimed 1G from A is split evenly among A1 and A2, coming out to 1.5G and 0.5G. There is a slight risk of regressing theoretical setups where the top-level cgroups don't know about the true budgeting and set bogusly high "bypass" values that are meaningfully allocated down the tree. Such setups would rely on unclaimed protection to be discarded, and distributing it would change the intended behavior. Be safe and hide the new behavior behind a mount option, 'memory_recursiveprot'.

We changed the default from 1 to 0 back in Linux v4.4 and now we are taking the next step of deprecating it, at some point in the future we will take the final step of rejecting 1. - Allow kernfs symlinks to inherit the SELinux label of the parent directory. In order to preserve backwards compatibility this is protected by the genfs_seclabel_symlinks SELinux policy capability. - Optimize how we store filename transitions in the kernel, resulting in some significant improvements to policy load times. - Do a better job calculating our internal hash table sizes which resulted in additional policy load improvements and likely general SELinux performance improvements as well. - Remove the unused initial SIDs (labels) and improve how we handle initial SIDs. - Enable per-file labeling for the bpf filesystem. - Ensure that we properly label NFS v4.2 filesystems to avoid a temporary unlabeled condition. - Add some missing XFS quota command types to the SELinux quota access controls. - Fix a problem where we were not updating the seq_file position index correctly in selinuxfs. - We consolidate some duplicated code into helper functions. - A number of list to array conversions. - Update Stephen Smalley's email address in MAINTAINERS" * tag 'selinux-pr-20200330' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/pcmoore/selinux: selinux: clean up indentation issue with assignment statement NFS: Ensure security label is set for root inode MAINTAINERS: Update my email address selinux: avtab_init() and cond_policydb_init() return void selinux: clean up error path in policydb_init() selinux: remove unused initial SIDs and improve handling selinux: reduce the use of hard-coded hash sizes selinux: Add xfs quota command types selinux: optimize storage of filename transitions selinux: factor out loop body from filename_trans_read() security: selinux: allow per-file labeling for bpffs selinux: generalize evaluate_cond_node() selinux: convert cond_expr to array selinux: convert cond_av_list to array selinux: convert cond_list to array selinux: sel_avc_get_stat_idx should increase position index selinux: allow kernfs symlinks to inherit parent directory context selinux: simplify evaluate_cond_node() Documentation,selinux: deprecate setting checkreqprot to 1 selinux: move status variables out of selinux_ss

Setting it to 0 is left intact for compatibility since Android and some Linux distributions do so for security and treat an inability to set it as a fatal error. Eventually setting it to 0 will become a no-op and the kernel will stop using checkreqprot's value internally altogether. checkreqprot was originally introduced as a compatibility mechanism for legacy userspace and the READ_IMPLIES_EXEC personality flag. However, if set to 1, it weakens security by allowing mappings to be made executable without authorization by policy. The default value for the SECURITY_SELINUX_CHECKREQPROT_VALUE config option was changed from 1 to 0 in commit 2a35d196c160e3 ("selinux: change CONFIG_SECURITY_SELINUX_CHECKREQPROT_VALUE default") and both Android and Linux distributions began explicitly setting /sys/fs/selinux/checkreqprot to 0 some time ago.

In order to maintain atomicity the core takes a global bus lock. This is typically >1000 cycles slower than an atomic operation within a cache line. It also disrupts performance on other cores (which must wait for the bus lock to be released before their memory operations can complete). For real-time systems this may mean missing deadlines. For other systems it may just be very annoying. Some CPUs have the capability to raise an #AC trap when a split lock is attempted. Provide a command line option to give the user choices on how to handle this: split_lock_detect= off - not enabled (no traps for split locks) warn - warn once when an application does a split lock, but allow it to continue running. fatal - Send SIGBUS to applications that cause split lock On systems that support split lock detection the default is "warn". Note that if the kernel hits a split lock in any mode other than "off" it will OOPs. One implementation wrinkle is that the MSR to control the split lock detection is per-core, not per thread. This might result in some short lived races on HT systems in "warn" mode if Linux tries to enable on one thread while disabling on the other. Race analysis by Sean Christopherson: - Toggling of split-lock is only done in "warn" mode. Worst case scenario of a race is that a misbehaving task will generate multiple #AC exceptions on the same instruction. And this race will only occur if both siblings are running tasks that generate split-lock #ACs, e.g. a race where sibling threads are writing different values will only occur if CPUx is disabling split-lock after an #AC and CPUy is re-enabling split-lock after *its* previous task generated an #AC. - Transitioning between off/warn/fatal modes at runtime isn't supported and disabling is tracked per task, so hardware will always reach a steady state that matches the configured mode. I.e. split-lock is guaranteed to be enabled in hardware once all _TIF_SLD threads have been scheduled out.

The intended result is better locality, better utilization and fewer migrations. - Introduce Thermal Pressure tracking and optimizations, to improve task placement on thermally overloaded systems. - Implement frequency invariant scheduler accounting on (some) x86 CPUs. This is done by observing and sampling the 'recent' CPU frequency average at ~tick boundaries. The CPU provides this data via the APERF/MPERF MSRs. This hopefully makes our capacity estimates more precise and keeps tasks on the same CPU better even if it might seem overloaded at a lower momentary frequency.

Depending on SoC characteristics and thermal activity, it might be beneficial to decay thermal pressure slower, but still in-tune with the pelt signals. One way to achieve this is to provide a command line parameter to set a decay shift parameter to an integer between 0 and 10.

However, in practice, in normal production there is no way to make them happen until userspace is up and running. Besides which, on smaller systems, rcutorture doesn't start doing hotplug operations until 30 seconds after the start of boot, which on most systems also means the better part of 30 seconds after the end of boot. This commit therefore provides a new torture.disable_onoff_at_boot kernel boot parameter that suppresses CPU-hotplug torture operations until about the time that init is spawned. Of course, if you know of a need for boottime CPU-hotplug operations, then you should avoid passing this argument to any of the torture tests. You might also want to look at the splats linked to below. Link: https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20191206185208.GA25636@paulmck-ThinkPad-P72/ Signed-off-by: Paul E. McKenney <paulmck@kernel.org>
| | | | * | | | rcutorture: Allow boottime stall warnings to be suppressedPaul E. McKenney2020-02-201-0/+6
| | | |/ / / / | | |/| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | In normal production, an RCU CPU stall warning at boottime is often just as bad as at any other time. In fact, given the desire for fast boot, any sort of long-term stall at boot is a bad idea. However, heavy rcutorture testing on large hyperthreaded systems can generate boottime RCU CPU stalls as a matter of course. This commit therefore provides a kernel boot parameter that suppresses reporting of boottime RCU CPU stall warnings and similarly of rcutorture writer stalls. Signed-off-by: Paul E.

| | | * | | | rcu: React to callback overload by aggressively seeking quiescent statesPaul E. McKenney2020-02-201-0/+9

But 100 milliseconds can be one good long time during an RCU callback flood, for example, as can happen when user processes repeatedly open and close files in a tight loop. These 100-millisecond gaps in successive grace periods during a callback flood can result in excessive numbers of callbacks piling up, unnecessarily increasing memory footprint. This commit therefore asks cond_resched() and/or resched_rcu() for help as early as the first FQS scan when at least one of the CPUs has more than 20,000 callbacks queued, a number that can be changed using the new rcutree.qovld kernel boot parameter. An auxiliary qovld_calc variable is used to avoid acquisition of locks that have not yet been initialized. Early tests indicate that this reduces the RCU-callback memory footprint during rcutorture floods by from 50% to 4x, depending on configuration.
