The huge_ptep_set_access_flags() can not make the huge pte old according to the discussion [1], that means we will always mornitor the young state of the hugetlb though we stopped accessing the hugetlb, as a result DAMON will get inaccurate accessing statistics. So changing to use set_huge_pte_at() to make the huge pte old to fix this issue.

damon_reclaim_init() allocates a memory chunk for ctx with damon_new_ctx(). When damon_select_ops() fails, ctx is not released, which will lead to a memory leak. We should release the ctx with damon_destroy_ctx() when damon_select_ops() fails to fix the memory leak.

When user tries to create a DAMON context via the DAMON debugfs interface
with a name of an already existing context, the context directory creation
fails but a new context is created and added in the internal data
structure, due to absence of the directory creation success check. As a
result, memory could leak and DAMON cannot be turned on. An example test
case is as below:
# cd /sys/kernel/debug/damon/
# echo "off" > monitor_on
# echo paddr > target_ids
# echo "abc" > mk_context
# echo "abc" > mk_context
# echo $$ > abc/target_ids
# echo "on" > monitor_on <<< fails
Return value of 'debugfs_create_dir()' is expected to be ignored in
general, but this is an exceptional case as DAMON feature is depending
on the debugfs functionality and it has the potential duplicate name
issue. This commit therefore fixes the issue by checking the directory
creation failure and immediately return the error in the case.

commit 9e7a4d9 upstream. Usage of spin locks was not allowed for tracing programs due to insufficient preemption checks. The verifier does not currently prevent LSM programs from using spin locks, but the helpers are not exposed via bpf_lsm_func_proto. Based on the discussion in [1], non-sleepable LSM programs should be able to use bpf_spin_{lock, unlock}. Sleepable LSM programs can be preempted which means that allowng spin locks will need more work (disabling preemption and the verifier ensuring that no sleepable helpers are called when a spin lock is held).

The life-cycle of storage is managed with the life-cycle of the task_struct. i.e. the storage is destroyed along with the owning task with a callback to the bpf_task_storage_free from the task_free LSM hook. The BPF LSM allocates an __rcu pointer to the bpf_local_storage in the security blob which are now stackable and can co-exist with other LSMs. The userspace map operations can be done by using a pid fd as a key passed to the lookup, update and delete operations.

…and 'damos_action' values Patch series "Extend DAMOS for Proactive LRU-lists Sorting". Introduction ============ In short, this patchset 1) extends DAMON-based Operation Schemes (DAMOS) for low overhead data access pattern based LRU-lists sorting, and 2) implements a static kernel module for easy use of conservatively-tuned version of that using the extended DAMOS capability. Background ---------- As page-granularity access checking overhead could be significant on huge systems, LRU lists are normally not proactively sorted but partially and reactively sorted for special events including specific user requests, system calls and memory pressure. As a result, LRU lists are sometimes not so perfectly prepared to be used as a trustworthy access pattern source for some situations including reclamation target pages selection under sudden memory pressure. DAMON-based Proactive LRU-lists Sorting --------------------------------------- Because DAMON can identify access patterns of best-effort accuracy while inducing only user-specified range of overhead, using DAMON for Proactive LRU-lists Sorting (PLRUS) could be helpful for this situation. The idea is quite simple. Find hot pages and cold pages using DAMON, and prioritize hot pages while deprioritizing cold pages on their LRU-lists. This patchset extends DAMON to support such schemes by introducing a couple of new DAMOS actions for prioritizing and deprioritizing memory regions of specific access patterns on their LRU-lists. In detail, this patchset simply uses 'mark_page_accessed()' and 'deactivate_page()' functions for prioritization and deprioritization of pages on their LRU lists, respectively. To make the scheme easy to use without complex tuning for common situations, this patchset further implements a static kernel module called 'DAMON_LRU_SORT' using the extended DAMOS functionality. It proactively sorts LRU-lists using DAMON with conservatively chosen default hotness/coldness thresholds and small CPU usage quota limit. That is, the module under its default parameters will make no harm for common situation but provide some level of benefit for systems having clear hot/cold access pattern under only memory pressure while consuming only limited small portion of CPU time. Related Works ------------- Proactive reclamation is well known to be helpful for reducing non-optimal reclamation target selection caused performance drops. However, proactive reclamation is not a best option for some cases, because it could incur additional I/O. For an example, it could be prohitive for systems using storage devices that total number of writes is limited, or cloud block storages that charges every I/O. Some proactive reclamation approaches[1,2] induce a level of memory pressure using memcg files or swappiness while monitoring PSI. As reclamation target selection is still relying on the original LRU-lists mechanism, using DAMON-based proactive reclamation before inducing the proactive reclamation could allow more memory saving with same level of performance overhead, or less performance overhead with same level of memory saving. [1] https://blogs.oracle.com/linux/post/anticipating-your-memory-needs [2] https://www.pdl.cmu.edu/ftp/NVM/tmo_asplos22.pdf Evaluation ========== In short, PLRUS achieves 10% memory PSI (some) reduction, 14% major page faults reduction, and 3.74% speedup under memory pressure. Setup ----- To show the effect of PLRUS, I run PARSEC3 and SPLASH-2X benchmarks under below variant systems and measure a few metrics including the runtime of each workload, number of system-wide major page faults, and system-wide memory PSI (some). - orig: v5.18-rc4 based mm-unstable kernel + this patchset, but no DAMON scheme applied. - mprs: Same to 'orig' but artificial memory pressure is induced. - plrus: Same to 'mprs' but a radically tuned PLRUS scheme is applied to the entire physical address space of the system. For the artificial memory pressure, I set 'memory.limit_in_bytes' to 75% of the running workload's peak RSS, wait 1 second, remove the pressure by setting it to 200% of the peak RSS, wait 10 seconds, and repeat the procedure until the workload finishes[1]. I use zram based swap device. The tests are automated[2]. [1] https://github.com/awslabs/damon-tests/blob/next/perf/runners/back/0009_memcg_pressure.sh [2] https://github.com/awslabs/damon-tests/blob/next/perf/full_once_config.sh Radically Tuned PLRUS --------------------- To show effect of PLRUS on the PARSEC3/SPLASH-2X workloads which runs for no long time, we use radically tuned version of PLRUS. The version asks DAMON to do the proactive LRU-lists sorting as below. 1. Find any memory regions shown some accesses (approximately >=20 accesses per 100 sampling) and prioritize pages of the regions on their LRU lists using up to 2% CPU time. Under the CPU time limit, prioritize regions having higher access frequency and kept the access frequency longer first. 2. Find any memory regions shown no access for at least >=5 seconds and deprioritize pages of the rgions on their LRU lists using up to 2% CPU time. Under the CPU time limit, deprioritize regions that not accessed for longer time first. Results ------- I repeat the tests 25 times and calculate average of the measured numbers. The results are as below: metric orig mprs plrus plrus/mprs runtime_seconds 190.06 292.83 281.87 0.96 pgmajfaults 852.55 8769420.00 7525040.00 0.86 memory_psi_some_us 106911.00 6943420.00 6220920.00 0.90 The first row is for legend. The first cell shows the metric that the following cells of the row shows. Second, third, and fourth cells show the metrics under the configs shown at the first row of the cell, and the fifth cell shows the metric under 'plrus' divided by the metric under 'mprs'. Second row shows the averaged runtime of the workloads in seconds. Third row shows the number of system-wide major page faults while the test was ongoing. Fourth row shows the system-wide memory pressure stall for some processes in microseconds while the test was ongoing. In short, PLRUS achieves 10% memory PSI (some) reduction, 14% major page faults reduction, and 3.74% speedup under memory pressure. We also confirmed the CPU usage of kdamond was 2.61% of single CPU, which is below 4% as expected. Sequence of Patches =================== The first and second patch cleans up DAMON debugfs interface and DAMOS_PAGEOUT handling code of physical address space monitoring operations implementation for easier extension of the code. The thrid and fourth patches implement a new DAMOS action called 'lru_prio', which prioritizes pages under memory regions which have a user-specified access pattern, and document it, respectively. The fifth and sixth patches implement yet another new DAMOS action called 'lru_deprio', which deprioritizes pages under memory regions which have a user-specified access pattern, and document it, respectively. The seventh patch implements a static kernel module called 'damon_lru_sort', which utilizes the DAMON-based proactive LRU-lists sorting under conservatively chosen default parameter. Finally, the eighth patch documents 'damon_lru_sort'. This patch (of 8): DAMON debugfs interface assumes users will write 'damos_action' value directly to the 'schemes' file. This makes adding new 'damos_action' in the middle of its definition breaks the backward compatibility of DAMON debugfs interface, as values of some 'damos_action' could be changed. To mitigate the situation, this commit adds mappings between the user inputs and 'damos_action' value and makes DAMON debugfs code uses those.

The arm64 stacktrace code has a few error conditions where a
WARN_ON_ONCE() is triggered before the stacktrace is terminated and an
error is returned to the caller. The conditions shouldn't be triggered
when unwinding the current task, but it is possible to trigger these
when unwinding another task which is not blocked, as the stack of that
task is concurrently modified. Kent reports that these warnings can be
triggered while running filesystem tests on bcachefs, which calls the
stacktrace code directly.
To produce a meaningful stacktrace of another task, the task in question
should be blocked, but the stacktrace code is expected to be robust to
cases where it is not blocked. Note that this is purely about not
unuduly scaring the user and/or crashing the kernel; stacktraces in such
cases are meaningless and may leak kernel secrets from the stack of the
task being unwound.
Ideally we'd pin the task in a blocked state during the unwind, as we do
for /proc/${PID}/wchan since commit:
42a20f8 ("sched: Add wrapper for get_wchan() to keep task blocked")
... but a bunch of places don't do that, notably /proc/${PID}/stack,
where we don't pin the task in a blocked state, but do restrict the
output to privileged users since commit:
f8a00ce ("proc: restrict kernel stack dumps to root")
... and so it's possible to trigger these warnings accidentally, e.g. by
reading /proc/*/stack (as root):

| while true; do cat /proc/*/stack > /dev/null 2>&1; done &

The arm64 stacktrace code has a few error conditions where a
WARN_ON_ONCE() is triggered before the stacktrace is terminated and an
error is returned to the caller. The conditions shouldn't be triggered
when unwinding the current task, but it is possible to trigger these
when unwinding another task which is not blocked, as the stack of that
task is concurrently modified. Kent reports that these warnings can be
triggered while running filesystem tests on bcachefs, which calls the
stacktrace code directly.
To produce a meaningful stacktrace of another task, the task in question
should be blocked, but the stacktrace code is expected to be robust to
cases where it is not blocked. Note that this is purely about not
unuduly scaring the user and/or crashing the kernel; stacktraces in such
cases are meaningless and may leak kernel secrets from the stack of the
task being unwound.
Ideally we'd pin the task in a blocked state during the unwind, as we do
for /proc/${PID}/wchan since commit:
42a20f8 ("sched: Add wrapper for get_wchan() to keep task blocked")
... but a bunch of places don't do that, notably /proc/${PID}/stack,
where we don't pin the task in a blocked state, but do restrict the
output to privileged users since commit:
f8a00ce ("proc: restrict kernel stack dumps to root")
... and so it's possible to trigger these warnings accidentally, e.g. by
reading /proc/*/stack (as root):
| for n in $(seq 1 10); do
| while true; do cat /proc/*/stack > /dev/null 2>&1; done &

The arm64 stacktrace code has a few error conditions where a
WARN_ON_ONCE() is triggered before the stacktrace is terminated and an
error is returned to the caller. The conditions shouldn't be triggered
when unwinding the current task, but it is possible to trigger these
when unwinding another task which is not blocked, as the stack of that
task is concurrently modified. Kent reports that these warnings can be
triggered while running filesystem tests on bcachefs, which calls the
stacktrace code directly.
To produce a meaningful stacktrace of another task, the task in question
should be blocked, but the stacktrace code is expected to be robust to
cases where it is not blocked. Note that this is purely about not
unuduly scaring the user and/or crashing the kernel; stacktraces in such
cases are meaningless and may leak kernel secrets from the stack of the
task being unwound.
Ideally we'd pin the task in a blocked state during the unwind, as we do
for /proc/${PID}/wchan since commit:
42a20f8 ("sched: Add wrapper for get_wchan() to keep task blocked")
... but a bunch of places don't do that, notably /proc/${PID}/stack,
where we don't pin the task in a blocked state, but do restrict the
output to privileged users since commit:
f8a00ce ("proc: restrict kernel stack dumps to root")
... and so it's possible to trigger these warnings accidentally, e.g. by
reading /proc/*/stack (as root):
| for n in $(seq 1 10); do
| while true; do cat /proc/*/stack > /dev/null 2>&1; done &

The arm64 stacktrace code has a few error conditions where a
WARN_ON_ONCE() is triggered before the stacktrace is terminated and an
error is returned to the caller. The conditions shouldn't be triggered
when unwinding the current task, but it is possible to trigger these
when unwinding another task which is not blocked, as the stack of that
task is concurrently modified. Kent reports that these warnings can be
triggered while running filesystem tests on bcachefs, which calls the
stacktrace code directly.
To produce a meaningful stacktrace of another task, the task in question
should be blocked, but the stacktrace code is expected to be robust to
cases where it is not blocked. Note that this is purely about not
unuduly scaring the user and/or crashing the kernel; stacktraces in such
cases are meaningless and may leak kernel secrets from the stack of the
task being unwound.
Ideally we'd pin the task in a blocked state during the unwind, as we do
for /proc/${PID}/wchan since commit:
42a20f8 ("sched: Add wrapper for get_wchan() to keep task blocked")
... but a bunch of places don't do that, notably /proc/${PID}/stack,
where we don't pin the task in a blocked state, but do restrict the
output to privileged users since commit:
f8a00ce ("proc: restrict kernel stack dumps to root")
... and so it's possible to trigger these warnings accidentally, e.g. by
reading /proc/*/stack (as root):

| while true; do cat /proc/*/stack > /dev/null 2>&1; done &

Fix this by only warning when unwinding the current task. When unwinding
another task the error conditions will be handled by returning an error
without producing a warning.
The two warnings in kunwind_next_frame_record_meta() were added recently
as part of commit:
c2c6b27 ("arm64: stacktrace: unwind exception boundaries")
The warning when recovering the fgraph return address has changed form
many times, but was originally introduced back in commit:
9f41631 ("arm64: fix unwind_frame() for filtered out fn for function graph tracing")
Fixes: c2c6b27 ("arm64: stacktrace: unwind exception boundaries")

This happens because the stacktrace code encounters an exception boundary where the LR was not live at the time of the exception, but the LR happens to contain return_to_handler(); either because the task recently returned there, or due to unfortunate usage of the LR at a scratch register. In such cases attempts to recover the return address via ftrace_graph_ret_addr() may fail, triggering the WARN_ON_ONCE() above and aborting the unwind (hence the stacktrace terminating after reporting the PC at the time of the exception). Handling unreliable LR values in these cases is likely to require some larger rework, so for the moment avoid this problem by restoring the old behaviour of skipping the LR at exception boundaries, which the stacktrace code did prior to commit: c2c6b27 ("arm64: stacktrace: unwind exception boundaries") This commit is effectively a partial revert, keeping the structures and logic to explicitly identify exception boundaries while still skipping reporting of the LR. The logic to explicitly identify exception boundaries is still useful for general robustness and as a building block for future support for RELIABLE_STACKTRACE.

The arm64 stacktrace code has a few error conditions where a
WARN_ON_ONCE() is triggered before the stacktrace is terminated and an
error is returned to the caller. The conditions shouldn't be triggered
when unwinding the current task, but it is possible to trigger these
when unwinding another task which is not blocked, as the stack of that
task is concurrently modified. Kent reports that these warnings can be
triggered while running filesystem tests on bcachefs, which calls the
stacktrace code directly.
To produce a meaningful stacktrace of another task, the task in question
should be blocked, but the stacktrace code is expected to be robust to
cases where it is not blocked. Note that this is purely about not
unuduly scaring the user and/or crashing the kernel; stacktraces in such
cases are meaningless and may leak kernel secrets from the stack of the
task being unwound.
Ideally we'd pin the task in a blocked state during the unwind, as we do
for /proc/${PID}/wchan since commit:
42a20f8 ("sched: Add wrapper for get_wchan() to keep task blocked")
... but a bunch of places don't do that, notably /proc/${PID}/stack,
where we don't pin the task in a blocked state, but do restrict the
output to privileged users since commit:
f8a00ce ("proc: restrict kernel stack dumps to root")
... and so it's possible to trigger these warnings accidentally, e.g. by
reading /proc/*/stack (as root):
| for n in $(seq 1 10); do
| while true; do cat /proc/*/stack > /dev/null 2>&1; done &
| done

Powerpc text patching infrastructure allocates a virtual memory area using get_vm_area() and flags it as VM_ALLOC. But that flag is meant to be used for vmalloc() and vmalloc() allocated memory is not supposed to be used before a call to __vmalloc_node_range() which is never called for that area. That went undetected until commit e4137f0 ("mm, kasan, kmsan: instrument copy_from/to_kernel_nofault") The area allocated by text_area_cpu_up() is not vmalloc memory, it is mapped directly on demand when needed by map_kernel_page(). There is no VM flag corresponding to such usage, so just pass no flag. That way the area will be unpoisonned and usable immediately.

This happens because the stacktrace code encounters an exception boundary where the LR was not live at the time of the exception, but the LR happens to contain return_to_handler(); either because the task recently returned there, or due to unfortunate usage of the LR at a scratch register. In such cases attempts to recover the return address via ftrace_graph_ret_addr() may fail, triggering the WARN_ON_ONCE() above and aborting the unwind (hence the stacktrace terminating after reporting the PC at the time of the exception). Handling unreliable LR values in these cases is likely to require some larger rework, so for the moment avoid this problem by restoring the old behaviour of skipping the LR at exception boundaries, which the stacktrace code did prior to commit: c2c6b27 ("arm64: stacktrace: unwind exception boundaries") This commit is effectively a partial revert, keeping the structures and logic to explicitly identify exception boundaries while still skipping reporting of the LR. The logic to explicitly identify exception boundaries is still useful for general robustness and as a building block for future support for RELIABLE_STACKTRACE.

The arm64 stacktrace code has a few error conditions where a
WARN_ON_ONCE() is triggered before the stacktrace is terminated and an
error is returned to the caller. The conditions shouldn't be triggered
when unwinding the current task, but it is possible to trigger these
when unwinding another task which is not blocked, as the stack of that
task is concurrently modified. Kent reports that these warnings can be
triggered while running filesystem tests on bcachefs, which calls the
stacktrace code directly.
To produce a meaningful stacktrace of another task, the task in question
should be blocked, but the stacktrace code is expected to be robust to
cases where it is not blocked. Note that this is purely about not
unuduly scaring the user and/or crashing the kernel; stacktraces in such
cases are meaningless and may leak kernel secrets from the stack of the
task being unwound.
Ideally we'd pin the task in a blocked state during the unwind, as we do
for /proc/${PID}/wchan since commit:
42a20f8 ("sched: Add wrapper for get_wchan() to keep task blocked")
... but a bunch of places don't do that, notably /proc/${PID}/stack,
where we don't pin the task in a blocked state, but do restrict the
output to privileged users since commit:
f8a00ce ("proc: restrict kernel stack dumps to root")
... and so it's possible to trigger these warnings accidentally, e.g. by
reading /proc/*/stack (as root):
| for n in $(seq 1 10); do
| while true; do cat /proc/*/stack > /dev/null 2>&1; done &
| done

Fix this by only warning when unwinding the current task. When unwinding
another task the error conditions will be handled by returning an error
without producing a warning.
The two warnings in kunwind_next_frame_record_meta() were added recently
as part of commit:
c2c6b27 ("arm64: stacktrace: unwind exception boundaries")
The warning when recovering the fgraph return address has changed form
many times, but was originally introduced back in commit:
9f41631 ("arm64: fix unwind_frame() for filtered out fn for function graph tracing")
Fixes: c2c6b27 ("arm64: stacktrace: unwind exception boundaries")
Fixes: 9f41631 ("arm64: fix unwind_frame() for filtered out fn for function graph tracing")

This happens because the stacktrace code encounters an exception boundary where the LR was not live at the time of the exception, but the LR happens to contain return_to_handler(); either because the task recently returned there, or due to unfortunate usage of the LR at a scratch register. In such cases attempts to recover the return address via ftrace_graph_ret_addr() may fail, triggering the WARN_ON_ONCE() above and aborting the unwind (hence the stacktrace terminating after reporting the PC at the time of the exception). Handling unreliable LR values in these cases is likely to require some larger rework, so for the moment avoid this problem by restoring the old behaviour of skipping the LR at exception boundaries, which the stacktrace code did prior to commit: c2c6b27 ("arm64: stacktrace: unwind exception boundaries") This commit is effectively a partial revert, keeping the structures and logic to explicitly identify exception boundaries while still skipping reporting of the LR. The logic to explicitly identify exception boundaries is still useful for general robustness and as a building block for future support for RELIABLE_STACKTRACE.

The arm64 stacktrace code has a few error conditions where a
WARN_ON_ONCE() is triggered before the stacktrace is terminated and an
error is returned to the caller. The conditions shouldn't be triggered
when unwinding the current task, but it is possible to trigger these
when unwinding another task which is not blocked, as the stack of that
task is concurrently modified. Kent reports that these warnings can be
triggered while running filesystem tests on bcachefs, which calls the
stacktrace code directly.
To produce a meaningful stacktrace of another task, the task in question
should be blocked, but the stacktrace code is expected to be robust to
cases where it is not blocked. Note that this is purely about not
unuduly scaring the user and/or crashing the kernel; stacktraces in such
cases are meaningless and may leak kernel secrets from the stack of the
task being unwound.
Ideally we'd pin the task in a blocked state during the unwind, as we do
for /proc/${PID}/wchan since commit:
42a20f8 ("sched: Add wrapper for get_wchan() to keep task blocked")
... but a bunch of places don't do that, notably /proc/${PID}/stack,
where we don't pin the task in a blocked state, but do restrict the
output to privileged users since commit:
f8a00ce ("proc: restrict kernel stack dumps to root")
... and so it's possible to trigger these warnings accidentally, e.g. by
reading /proc/*/stack (as root):
| for n in $(seq 1 10); do
| while true; do cat /proc/*/stack > /dev/null 2>&1; done &
| done

Fix this by only warning when unwinding the current task. When unwinding
another task the error conditions will be handled by returning an error
without producing a warning.
The two warnings in kunwind_next_frame_record_meta() were added recently
as part of commit:
c2c6b27 ("arm64: stacktrace: unwind exception boundaries")
The warning when recovering the fgraph return address has changed form
many times, but was originally introduced back in commit:
9f41631 ("arm64: fix unwind_frame() for filtered out fn for function graph tracing")
Fixes: c2c6b27 ("arm64: stacktrace: unwind exception boundaries")
Fixes: 9f41631 ("arm64: fix unwind_frame() for filtered out fn for function graph tracing")

Issue #, if available:
vewe-richard#1
Description of changes:
Do not call generic_file_buffered_read() directly, call generic_file_read_iter() which will check number of iov to read, and return immediately when the number of iov is zero.
Else, generic_file_buffered_read() will fall into an infinite loop, eat up all cpu resources, cause system lockup.
