mm/mprotect.c: fix compilation warning because of unused 'mm' variable

2019-05-14T16:47:51+00:00

Since 0cbe3e26abe0 ("mm: update ptep_modify_prot_start/commit to take vm_area_struct as arg") the only place that uses the local 'mm' variable in change_pte_range() is the call to set_pte_at(). Many architectures define set_pte_at() as macro that does not use the 'mm' parameter, which generates the following compilation warning: CC mm/mprotect.o mm/mprotect.c: In function 'change_pte_range': mm/mprotect.c:42:20: warning: unused variable 'mm' [-Wunused-variable] struct mm_struct *mm = vma->vm_mm; ^~ Fix it by passing vma->mm to set_pte_at() and dropping the local 'mm' variable in change_pte_range().

mm/mmu_notifier: use correct mmu_notifier events for each invalidation

2019-05-14T16:47:49+00:00

This updates each existing invalidation to use the correct mmu notifier event that represent what is happening to the CPU page table. See the patch which introduced the events to see the rational behind this.

mm/mmu_notifier: contextual information for event triggering invalidation

2019-05-14T16:47:49+00:00

CPU page table update can happens for many reasons, not only as a result of a syscall (munmap(), mprotect(), mremap(), madvise(), ...) but also as a result of kernel activities (memory compression, reclaim, migration, ...). Users of mmu notifier API track changes to the CPU page table and take specific action for them. While current API only provide range of virtual address affected by the change, not why the changes is happening. This patchset do the initial mechanical convertion of all the places that calls mmu_notifier_range_init to also provide the default MMU_NOTIFY_UNMAP event as well as the vma if it is know (most invalidation happens against a given vma). Passing down the vma allows the users of mmu notifier to inspect the new vma page protection. The MMU_NOTIFY_UNMAP is always the safe default as users of mmu notifier should assume that every for the range is going away when that event happens. A latter patch do convert mm call path to use a more appropriate events for each call.

Patch series "NestMMU pte upgrade workaround for mprotect", v5. We can upgrade pte access (R -> RW transition) via mprotect. We need to make sure we follow the recommended pte update sequence as outlined in commit bd5050e38aec ("powerpc/mm/radix: Change pte relax sequence to handle nest MMU hang") for such updates. This patch series does that. This patch (of 5): Some architectures may want to call flush_tlb_range from these helpers.

x86/speculation/l1tf: Disallow non privileged high MMIO PROT_NONE mappings

2018-06-20T17:10:01+00:00

For L1TF PROT_NONE mappings are protected by inverting the PFN in the page table entry. This sets the high bits in the CPU's address space, thus making sure to point to not point an unmapped entry to valid cached memory. Some server system BIOSes put the MMIO mappings high up in the physical address space. If such an high mapping was mapped to unprivileged users they could attack low memory by setting such a mapping to PROT_NONE. This could happen through a special device driver which is not access protected. Normal /dev/mem is of course access protected. To avoid this forbid PROT_NONE mappings or mprotect for high MMIO mappings. Valid page mappings are allowed because the system is then unsafe anyways. It's not expected that users commonly use PROT_NONE on MMIO. But to minimize any impact this is only enforced if the mapping actually refers to a high MMIO address (defined as the MAX_PA-1 bit being set), and also skip the check for root. For mmaps this is straight forward and can be handled in vm_insert_pfn and in remap_pfn_range(). For mprotect it's a bit trickier. At the point where the actual PTEs are accessed a lot of state has been changed and it would be difficult to undo on an error. Since this is a uncommon case use a separate early page talk walk pass for MMIO PROT_NONE mappings that checks for this condition early. For non MMIO and non PROT_NONE there are no changes.

sched/numa: avoid trapping faults and attempting migration of file-backed dirty pages

2018-04-11T17:28:31+00:00

change_pte_range is called from task work context to mark PTEs for receiving NUMA faulting hints. If the marked pages are dirty then migration may fail. Some filesystems cannot migrate dirty pages without blocking so are skipped in MIGRATE_ASYNC mode which just wastes CPU. Even when they can, it can be a waste of cycles when the pages are shared forcing higher scan rates. This patch avoids marking shared dirty pages for hinting faults but also will skip a migration if the page was dirtied after the scanner updated a clean page. This is most noticeable running the NASA Parallel Benchmark when backed by btrfs, the default root filesystem for some distributions, but also noticeable when using XFS. The following are results from a 4-socket machine running a 4.16-rc4 kernel with some scheduler patches that are pending for the next merge window. 4.16.0-rc4 4.16.0-rc4 schedtip-20180309 nodirty-v1 Time cg.D 459.07 ( 0.00%) 444.21 ( 3.24%) Time ep.D 76.96 ( 0.00%) 77.69 ( -0.95%) Time is.D 25.55 ( 0.00%) 27.85 ( -9.00%) Time lu.D 601.58 ( 0.00%) 596.87 ( 0.78%) Time mg.D 107.73 ( 0.00%) 108.22 ( -0.45%) is.D regresses slightly in terms of absolute time but note that that particular load varies quite a bit from run to run. The more relevant observation is the total system CPU usage. 4.16.0-rc4 4.16.0-rc4 schedtip-20180309 nodirty-v1 User 71471.91 70627.04 System 11078.96 8256.13 Elapsed 661.66 632.74 That is a substantial drop in system CPU usage and overall the workload completes faster. The NUMA balancing statistics are also interesting NUMA base PTE updates 111407972 139848884 NUMA huge PMD updates 206506 264869 NUMA page range updates 217139044 275461812 NUMA hint faults 4300924 3719784 NUMA hint local faults 3012539 3416618 NUMA hint local percent 70 91 NUMA pages migrated 1517487 1358420 While more PTEs are scanned due to changes in what faults are gathered, it's clear that a far higher percentage of faults are local as the bulk of the remote hits were dirty pages that, in this case with btrfs, had no chance of migrating. The following is a comparison when using XFS as that is a more realistic filesystem choice for a data partition 4.16.0-rc4 4.16.0-rc4 schedtip-20180309 nodirty-v1r47 Time cg.D 485.28 ( 0.00%) 442.62 ( 8.79%) Time ep.D 77.68 ( 0.00%) 77.54 ( 0.18%) Time is.D 26.44 ( 0.00%) 24.79 ( 6.24%) Time lu.D 597.46 ( 0.00%) 597.11 ( 0.06%) Time mg.D 142.65 ( 0.00%) 105.83 ( 25.81%) That is a reasonable gain on two relatively long-lived workloads. While not presented, there is also a substantial drop in system CPu usage and the NUMA balancing stats show similar improvements in locality as btrfs did.

mm: Clear arch specific VM flags on protection change

2018-03-18T14:38:47+00:00

When protection bits are changed on a VMA, some of the architecture specific flags should be cleared as well. An examples of this are the PKEY flags on x86. This patch expands the current code that clears PKEY flags for x86, to support similar functionality for other architectures as well.

mm: Add address parameter to arch_validate_prot()

2018-03-18T14:38:47+00:00

A protection flag may not be valid across entire address space and hence arch_validate_prot() might need the address a protection bit is being set on to ensure it is a valid protection flag. For example, sparc processors support memory corruption detection (as part of ADI feature) flag on memory addresses mapped on to physical RAM but not on PFN mapped pages or addresses mapped on to devices. This patch adds address to the parameters being passed to arch_validate_prot() so protection bits can be validated in the relevant context.
