* ksm: add ksm involvement information for each processxu xin4 days1-0/+19
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | In /proc/<pid>/ksm_stat, add two extra ksm involvement items including KSM_mergeable and KSM_merge_any. It helps administrators to better know the system's KSM behavior at process level. ksm_merge_any: yes/no whether the process'mm is added by prctl() into the candidate list of KSM or not, and fully enabled at process level. ksm_mergeable: yes/no whether any VMAs of the process'mm are currently applicable to KSM. Purpose ======= These two items are just to improve the observability of KSM at process level, so that users can know if a certain process has enabled KSM. For example, if without these two items, when we look at /proc/<pid>/ksm_stat and there's no merging pages found, We are not sure whether it is because KSM was not enabled or because KSM did not successfully merge any pages. Although "mg" in /proc/<pid>/smaps indicate VM_MERGEABLE, it's opaque and not very obvious for non professionals.

Then, the vDSO implementation of getrandom() is introduced in a generic manner and hooked into random.c. Next, this is implemented on x86.

It turns out that the vDSO getrandom() function has three really nice characteristics that we can exploit to solve this problem: 1) Due to being wiped during fork(), the vDSO code is already robust to having the contents of the pages it reads zeroed out midway through the function's execution. 2) In the absolute worst case of whatever contingency we're coding for, we have the option to fallback to the getrandom() syscall, and everything is fine. 3) The buffers the function uses are only ever useful for a maximum of 60 seconds -- a sort of cache, rather than a long term allocation. These characteristics mean that we can introduce VM_DROPPABLE, which has the following semantics: a) It never is written out to swap. b) Under memory pressure, mm can just drop the pages (so that they're zero when read back again). c) It is inherited by fork. d) It doesn't count against the mlock budget, since nothing is locked. e) If there's not enough memory to service a page fault, it's not fatal, and no signal is sent. This way, allocations used by vDSO getrandom() can use: VM_DROPPABLE | VM_DONTDUMP | VM_WIPEONFORK | VM_NORESERVE And there will be no problem with OOMing, crashing on overcommitment, using memory when not in use, not wiping on fork(), coredumps, or writing out to swap. In order to let vDSO getrandom() use this, expose these via mmap(2) as MAP_DROPPABLE. Note that this involves removing the MADV_FREE special case from sort_folio(), which according to Yu Zhao is unnecessary and will simply result in an extra call to shrink_folio_list() in the worst case. The chunk removed reenables the swapbacked flag, which we don't want for VM_DROPPABLE, and we can't conditionalize it here because there isn't a vma reference available. Finally, the provided self test ensures that this is working as desired. Cc: linux-mm@kvack.org Acked-by: David Hildenbrand <david@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Jason A. Donenfeld <Jason@zx2c4.com>

The folio migration is widely used in kernel, memory compaction, memory hotplug, soft offline page, numa balance, memory demote/promotion, etc, but once access a poisoned source folio when migrating, the kernel will panic. There is a mechanism in the kernel to recover from uncorrectable memory errors, ARCH_HAS_COPY_MC(eg, Machine Check Safe Memory Copy on x86), which is already used in NVDIMM or core-mm paths(eg, CoW, khugepaged, coredump, ksm copy), see copy_mc_to_{user,kernel}, copy_mc_{user_}highpage callers. This series of patches provide the recovery mechanism from folio copy for the widely used folio migration. Please note, because folio migration is no guarantee of success, so we could chose to make folio migration tolerant of memory failures, adding folio_mc_copy() which is a #MC versions of folio_copy(), once accessing a poisoned source folio, we could return error and make the folio migration fail, and this could avoid the similar panic shown below.

* | mm/ksm: optimize the chain()/chain_prune() interfacesChengming Zhou2024-07-051-125/+27
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Now the implementation of stable_node_dup() causes chain()/chain_prune() interfaces and usages are overcomplicated. Why? stable_node_dup() only find and return a candidate stable_node for sharing, so the users have to recheck using stable_node_dup_any() if any non-candidate stable_node exist. And try to ksm_get_folio() from it again. Actually, stable_node_dup() can just return a best stable_node as it can, then the users can check if it's a candidate for sharing or not. The code is simplified too and fewer corner cases: such as stable_node and stable_node_dup can't be NULL if returned tree_folio is not NULL.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The code flow in cmp_and_merge_page() is suboptimal for handling the ksm page and non-ksm page at the same time. For example: - ksm page 1. Mostly just return if this ksm page is not migrated and this rmap_item has been on the rmap hlist. Or we have to fix this rmap_item mapping. 2. But we absolutely don't need to checksum for this ksm page, since it can't change. - non-ksm page 1. First don't need to waste time searching stable tree if fast changing. 2. Should try to merge with zero page before search the stable tree. 3. Then search stable tree to find mergeable ksm page. This patch optimizes the code flow so the handling differences between ksm page and non-ksm page become clearer and more efficient too.

This series mainly optimizes cmp_and_merge_page() to have more efficient separate code flow for ksm page and non-ksm anon page. - ksm page: don't need to calculate the checksum obviously. - anon page: don't need to search stable tree if changing fast and try to merge with zero page before searching ksm page on stable tree. Please see the patch-2 for details. Patch-3 is cleanup also a little optimization for the chain()/chain_prune interfaces, which made the stable_tree_search()/stable_tree_insert() over complex. I have done simple testing using "hackbench -g 1 -l 300000" (maybe I need to use a better workload) on my machine, have seen a little CPU usage decrease of ksmd and some improvements of cmp_and_merge_page() latency: We can see the latency of cmp_and_merge_page() when handling non-ksm anon pages has been improved. This patch (of 3): In preparation for later changes, refactor out a new function called try_to_merge_with_zero_page(), which tries to merge with zero page.

* mm/ksm: fix ksm_zero_pages accountingChengming Zhou2024-06-061-6/+5
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | We normally ksm_zero_pages++ in ksmd when page is merged with zero page, but ksm_zero_pages-- is done from page tables side, where there is no any accessing protection of ksm_zero_pages. So we can read very exceptional value of ksm_zero_pages in rare cases, such as -1, which is very confusing to users. Fix it by changing to use atomic_long_t, and the same case with the mm->ksm_zero_pages.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Patch series "mm/ksm: fix some accounting problems", v3. We encountered some abnormal ksm_pages_scanned and ksm_zero_pages during some random tests. 1. ksm_pages_scanned unchanged even ksmd scanning has progress. 2. ksm_zero_pages maybe -1 in some rare cases. This patch (of 2): During testing, I found ksm_pages_scanned is unchanged although the scan_get_next_rmap_item() did return valid rmap_item that is not NULL. The reason is the scan_get_next_rmap_item() will return NULL after a full scan, so ksm_do_scan() just return without accounting of the ksm_pages_scanned. Fix it by just putting ksm_pages_scanned accounting in that loop, and it will be accounted more timely if that loop would last for a long time.

Don't introduce folio_try_share_anon_rmap_ptes() for now, as we don't have a user that wants rmap batching in sight. Pretty easy to add later. All users are easy to convert -- only ksm.c doesn't use folios yet but that is left for future work -- so let's just do it in a single shot. While at it, turn the BUG_ON into a WARN_ON_ONCE. Note that page_try_share_anon_rmap() so far didn't care about pte/pmd mappings (no compound parameter). We're changing that so we can perform better sanity checks and make the code actually more readable/consistent. For example, __folio_rmap_sanity_checks() will make sure that a PMD range actually falls completely into the folio.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Patch series "mm/ksm: Add ksm advisor", v5. What is the KSM advisor? ========================= The ksm advisor automatically manages the pages_to_scan setting to achieve a target scan time. The target scan time defines how many seconds it should take to scan all the candidate KSM pages. In other words the pages_to_scan rate is changed by the advisor to achieve the target scan time. Why do we need a KSM advisor? ============================== The number of candidate pages for KSM is dynamic. It can often be observed that during the startup of an application more candidate pages need to be processed. Without an advisor the pages_to_scan parameter needs to be sized for the maximum number of candidate pages. With the scan time advisor the pages_to_scan parameter based can be changed based on demand. Algorithm ========== The algorithm calculates the change value based on the target scan time and the previous scan time. To avoid pertubations an exponentially weighted moving average is applied. The algorithm has a max and min value to: - guarantee responsiveness to changes - to limit CPU resource consumption Parameters to influence the KSM scan advisor ============================================= The respective parameters are: - ksm_advisor_mode 0: None (default), 1: scan time advisor - ksm_advisor_target_scan_time how many seconds a scan should of all candidate pages take - ksm_advisor_max_cpu upper limit for the cpu usage in percent of the ksmd background thread The initial value and the max value for the pages_to_scan parameter can be limited with: - ksm_advisor_min_pages_to_scan minimum value for pages_to_scan per batch - ksm_advisor_max_pages_to_scan maximum value for pages_to_scan per batch The default settings for the above two parameters should be suitable for most workloads. The parameters are exposed as knobs in /sys/kernel/mm/ksm. By default the scan time advisor is disabled. Currently there are two advisors: - none and - scan-time. Resource savings ================= Tests with various workloads have shown considerable CPU savings. Most of the workloads I have investigated have more candidate pages during startup. Once the workload is stable in terms of memory, the number of candidate pages is reduced. Without the advisor, the pages_to_scan needs to be sized for the maximum number of candidate pages. So having this advisor definitely helps in reducing CPU consumption. For the instagram workload, the advisor achieves a 25% CPU reduction. Once the memory is stable, the pages_to_scan parameter gets reduced to about 40% of its max value. The new advisor works especially well if the smart scan feature is also enabled. How is defining a target scan time better? =========================================== For an administrator it is more logical to set a target scan time.. The administrator can determine how many pages are scanned on each scan. Therefore setting a target scan time makes more sense. In addition the administrator might have a good idea about the memory sizing of its respective workloads. Setting cpu limits is easier than setting The pages_to_scan parameter. The pages_to_scan parameter is per batch. For the administrator it is difficult to set the pages_to_scan parameter. Tracing ======= A new tracing event has been added for the scan time advisor. The new trace event is called ksm_advisor. It reports the scan time, the new pages_to_scan setting and the cpu usage of the ksmd background thread. Other approaches ================= Approach 1: Adapt pages_to_scan after processing each batch. If KSM merges pages, increase the scan rate, if less KSM pages, reduce the the pages_to_scan rate. This doesn't work too well. While it increases the pages_to_scan for a short period, but generally it ends up with a too low pages_to_scan rate. Approach 2: Adapt pages_to_scan after each scan. The problem with that approach is that the calculated scan rate tends to be high. The more aggressive KSM scans, the more pages it can de-duplicate. There have been earlier attempts at an advisor: propose auto-run mode of ksm and its tests (https://marc.info/?l=linux-mm&m=166029880214485&w=2) This patch (of 5): This adds the ksm advisor. The ksm advisor automatically manages the pages_to_scan setting to achieve a target scan time. The target scan time defines how many seconds it should take to scan all the candidate KSM pages. In other words the pages_to_scan rate is changed by the advisor to achieve the target scan time. The algorithm has a max and min value to: - guarantee responsiveness to changes - limit CPU resource consumption The respective parameters are: - ksm_advisor_target_scan_time (how many seconds a scan should take) - ksm_advisor_max_cpu (maximum value for cpu percent usage) - ksm_advisor_min_pages (minimum value for pages_to_scan per batch) - ksm_advisor_max_pages (maximum value for pages_to_scan per batch) The algorithm calculates the change value based on the target scan time and the previous scan time. To avoid pertubations an exponentially weighted moving average is applied. The advisor is managed by two main parameters: target scan time, cpu max time for the ksmd background thread. These parameters determine how aggresive ksmd scans. In addition there are min and max values for the pages_to_scan parameter to make sure that its initial and max values are not set too low or too high. This ensures that it is able to react to changes quickly enough. The default values are: - target scan time: 200 secs - max cpu: 70% - min pages: 500 - max pages: 30000 By default the advisor is disabled. Currently there are two advisors: none and scan-time. Tests with various workloads have shown considerable CPU savings. Most of the workloads I have investigated have more candidate pages during startup, once the workload is stable in terms of memory, the number of candidate pages is reduced. Without the advisor, the pages_to_scan needs to be sized for the maximum number of candidate pages. So having this advisor definitely helps in reducing CPU consumption. For the instagram workload, the advisor achieves a 25% CPU reduction. Once the memory is stable, the pages_to_scan parameter gets reduced to about 40% of its max value.

* mm/ksm: use kmap_local_page() in calc_checksum()Fabio M. De Francesco2023-12-111-2/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | kmap_atomic() has been deprecated in favor of kmap_local_page(). Therefore, replace kmap_atomic() with kmap_local_page() in calc_checksum(). kmap_atomic() is implemented like a kmap_local_page() which also disables page-faults and preemption (the latter only in !PREEMPT_RT kernels). The kernel virtual addresses returned by these two API are only valid in the context of the callers (i.e., they cannot be handed to other threads). With kmap_local_page() the mappings are per thread and CPU local like in kmap_atomic(); however, they can handle page-faults and can be called from any context (including interrupts). The tasks that call kmap_local_page() can be preempted and, when they are scheduled to run again, the kernel virtual addresses are restored and are still valid. In calc_checksum(), the block of code between the mapping and un-mapping does not depend on the above-mentioned side effects of kmap_aatomic(), so that a mere replacements of the old API with the new one is all that is required (i.e., there is no need to explicitly call pagefault_disable() and/or preempt_disable()).

Full rationale can be found in that commit's log. Since then, three new call sites have snuck in, which directly dereference the pte, so let's fix those up. Unfortunately there is no reliable automated mechanism to catch these; I'm relying on a combination of Coccinelle (which throws up a lot of false positives) and some compiler magic to force a compiler error on dereference (While this approach finds dereferences, it also yields a non-booting kernel so can't be committed).
