s390/percpu: Get rid of ARCH_MODULE_NEEDS_WEAK_PER_CPU

2025-11-24T10:45:20+00:00

Since the rework of the kernel virtual address space [1] the module area and the kernel image are within the same 4GB area. Therefore there is no need for the weak per cpu workaround for modules anymore. Remove it.

mm/percpu: conditionally define _shared_alloc_tag via CONFIG_ARCH_MODULE_NEEDS_WEAK_PER_CPU

2025-07-10T05:42:15+00:00

Recently discovered this entry while checking kallsyms on ARM64: ffff800083e509c0 D _shared_alloc_tag If ARCH_NEEDS_WEAK_PER_CPU is not defined(it is only defined for s390 and alpha architectures), there's no need to statically define the percpu variable _shared_alloc_tag. Therefore, we need to implement isolation for this purpose. When building the core kernel code for s390 or alpha architectures, ARCH_NEEDS_WEAK_PER_CPU remains undefined (as it is gated by #if defined(MODULE)). However, when building modules for these architectures, the macro is explicitly defined. Therefore, we remove all instances of ARCH_NEEDS_WEAK_PER_CPU from the code and introduced CONFIG_ARCH_MODULE_NEEDS_WEAK_PER_CPU to replace the relevant logic. We can now conditionally define the perpcu variable _shared_alloc_tag based on CONFIG_ARCH_MODULE_NEEDS_WEAK_PER_CPU. This allows architectures (such as s390/alpha) that require weak definitions for percpu variables in modules to include the definition, while others can omit it via compile-time exclusion.

Merge tag 'mm-stable-2025-03-30-16-52' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/mm

2025-04-01T16:29:18+00:00

Pull MM updates from Andrew Morton: - The series "Enable strict percpu address space checks" from Uros Bizjak uses x86 named address space qualifiers to provide compile-time checking of percpu area accesses. This has caused a small amount of fallout - two or three issues were reported. In all cases the calling code was found to be incorrect. - The series "Some cleanup for memcg" from Chen Ridong implements some relatively monir cleanups for the memcontrol code. - The series "mm: fixes for device-exclusive entries (hmm)" from David Hildenbrand fixes a boatload of issues which David found then using device-exclusive PTE entries when THP is enabled. More work is needed, but this makes thins better - our own HMM selftests now succeed. - The series "mm: zswap: remove z3fold and zbud" from Yosry Ahmed remove the z3fold and zbud implementations. They have been deprecated for half a year and nobody has complained. - The series "mm: further simplify VMA merge operation" from Lorenzo Stoakes implements numerous simplifications in this area. No runtime effects are anticipated. - The series "mm/madvise: remove redundant mmap_lock operations from process_madvise()" from SeongJae Park rationalizes the locking in the madvise() implementation. Performance gains of 20-25% were observed in one MADV_DONTNEED microbenchmark. - The series "Tiny cleanup and improvements about SWAP code" from Baoquan He contains a number of touchups to issues which Baoquan noticed when working on the swap code. - The series "mm: kmemleak: Usability improvements" from Catalin Marinas implements a couple of improvements to the kmemleak user-visible output. - The series "mm/damon/paddr: fix large folios access and schemes handling" from Usama Arif provides a couple of fixes for DAMON's handling of large folios. - The series "mm/damon/core: fix wrong and/or useless damos_walk() behaviors" from SeongJae Park fixes a few issues with the accuracy of kdamond's walking of DAMON regions. - The series "expose mapping wrprotect, fix fb_defio use" from Lorenzo Stoakes changes the interaction between framebuffer deferred-io and core MM. No functional changes are anticipated - this is preparatory work for the future removal of page structure fields. - The series "mm/damon: add support for hugepage_size DAMOS filter" from Usama Arif adds a DAMOS filter which permits the filtering by huge page sizes. - The series "mm: permit guard regions for file-backed/shmem mappings" from Lorenzo Stoakes extends the guard region feature from its present "anon mappings only" state. The feature now covers shmem and file-backed mappings. - The series "mm: batched unmap lazyfree large folios during reclamation" from Barry Song cleans up and speeds up the unmapping for pte-mapped large folios. - The series "reimplement per-vma lock as a refcount" from Suren Baghdasaryan puts the vm_lock back into the vma. Our reasons for pulling it out were largely bogus and that change made the code more messy. This patchset provides small (0-10%) improvements on one microbenchmark. - The series "Docs/mm/damon: misc DAMOS filters documentation fixes and improves" from SeongJae Park does some maintenance work on the DAMON docs. - The series "hugetlb/CMA improvements for large systems" from Frank van der Linden addresses a pile of issues which have been observed when using CMA on large machines. - The series "mm/damon: introduce DAMOS filter type for unmapped pages" from SeongJae Park enables users of DMAON/DAMOS to filter my the page's mapped/unmapped status. - The series "zsmalloc/zram: there be preemption" from Sergey Senozhatsky teaches zram to run its compression and decompression operations preemptibly. - The series "selftests/mm: Some cleanups from trying to run them" from Brendan Jackman fixes a pile of unrelated issues which Brendan encountered while runnimg our selftests. - The series "fs/proc/task_mmu: add guard region bit to pagemap" from Lorenzo Stoakes permits userspace to use /proc/pid/pagemap to determine whether a particular page is a guard page. - The series "mm, swap: remove swap slot cache" from Kairui Song removes the swap slot cache from the allocation path - it simply wasn't being effective. - The series "mm: cleanups for device-exclusive entries (hmm)" from David Hildenbrand implements a number of unrelated cleanups in this code. - The series "mm: Rework generic PTDUMP configs" from Anshuman Khandual implements a number of preparatoty cleanups to the GENERIC_PTDUMP Kconfig logic. - The series "mm/damon: auto-tune aggregation interval" from SeongJae Park implements a feedback-driven automatic tuning feature for DAMON's aggregation interval tuning. - The series "Fix lazy mmu mode" from Ryan Roberts fixes some issues in powerpc, sparc and x86 lazy MMU implementations. Ryan did this in preparation for implementing lazy mmu mode for arm64 to optimize vmalloc. - The series "mm/page_alloc: Some clarifications for migratetype fallback" from Brendan Jackman reworks some commentary to make the code easier to follow. - The series "page_counter cleanup and size reduction" from Shakeel Butt cleans up the page_counter code and fixes a size increase which we accidentally added late last year. - The series "Add a command line option that enables control of how many threads should be used to allocate huge pages" from Thomas Prescher does that. It allows the careful operator to significantly reduce boot time by tuning the parallalization of huge page initialization. - The series "Fix calculations in trace_balance_dirty_pages() for cgwb" from Tang Yizhou fixes the tracing output from the dirty page balancing code. - The series "mm/damon: make allow filters after reject filters useful and intuitive" from SeongJae Park improves the handling of allow and reject filters. Behaviour is made more consistent and the documention is updated accordingly. - The series "Switch zswap to object read/write APIs" from Yosry Ahmed updates zswap to the new object read/write APIs and thus permits the removal of some legacy code from zpool and zsmalloc. - The series "Some trivial cleanups for shmem" from Baolin Wang does as it claims. - The series "fs/dax: Fix ZONE_DEVICE page reference counts" from Alistair Popple regularizes the weird ZONE_DEVICE page refcount handling in DAX, permittig the removal of a number of special-case checks. - The series "refactor mremap and fix bug" from Lorenzo Stoakes is a preparatoty refactoring and cleanup of the mremap() code. - The series "mm: MM owner tracking for large folios (!hugetlb) + CONFIG_NO_PAGE_MAPCOUNT" from David Hildenbrand reworks the manner in which we determine whether a large folio is known to be mapped exclusively into a single MM. - The series "mm/damon: add sysfs dirs for managing DAMOS filters based on handling layers" from SeongJae Park adds a couple of new sysfs directories to ease the management of DAMON/DAMOS filters. - The series "arch, mm: reduce code duplication in mem_init()" from Mike Rapoport consolidates many per-arch implementations of mem_init() into code generic code, where that is practical. - The series "mm/damon/sysfs: commit parameters online via damon_call()" from SeongJae Park continues the cleaning up of sysfs access to DAMON internal data. - The series "mm: page_ext: Introduce new iteration API" from Luiz Capitulino reworks the page_ext initialization to fix a boot-time crash which was observed with an unusual combination of compile and cmdline options. - The series "Buddy allocator like (or non-uniform) folio split" from Zi Yan reworks the code to split a folio into smaller folios. The main benefit is lessened memory consumption: fewer post-split folios are generated. - The series "Minimize xa_node allocation during xarry split" from Zi Yan reduces the number of xarray xa_nodes which are generated during an xarray split. - The series "drivers/base/memory: Two cleanups" from Gavin Shan performs some maintenance work on the drivers/base/memory code. - The series "Add tracepoints for lowmem reserves, watermarks and totalreserve_pages" from Martin Liu adds some more tracepoints to the page allocator code. - The series "mm/madvise: cleanup requests validations and classifications" from SeongJae Park cleans up some warts which SeongJae observed during his earlier madvise work. - The series "mm/hwpoison: Fix regressions in memory failure handling" from Shuai Xue addresses two quite serious regressions which Shuai has observed in the memory-failure implementation. - The series "mm: reliable huge page allocator" from Johannes Weiner makes huge page allocations cheaper and more reliable by reducing fragmentation. - The series "Minor memcg cleanups & prep for memdescs" from Matthew Wilcox is preparatory work for the future implementation of memdescs. - The series "track memory used by balloon drivers" from Nico Pache introduces a way to track memory used by our various balloon drivers. - The series "mm/damon: introduce DAMOS filter type for active pages" from Nhat Pham permits users to filter for active/inactive pages, separately for file and anon pages. - The series "Adding Proactive Memory Reclaim Statistics" from Hao Jia separates the proactive reclaim statistics from the direct reclaim statistics. - The series "mm/vmscan: don't try to reclaim hwpoison folio" from Jinjiang Tu fixes our handling of hwpoisoned pages within the reclaim code. * tag 'mm-stable-2025-03-30-16-52' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/mm: (431 commits) mm/page_alloc: remove unnecessary __maybe_unused in order_to_pindex() x86/mm: restore early initialization of high_memory for 32-bits mm/vmscan: don't try to reclaim hwpoison folio mm/hwpoison: introduce folio_contain_hwpoisoned_page() helper cgroup: docs: add pswpin and pswpout items in cgroup v2 doc mm: vmscan: split proactive reclaim statistics from direct reclaim statistics selftests/mm: speed up split_huge_page_test selftests/mm: uffd-unit-tests support for hugepages > 2M docs/mm/damon/design: document active DAMOS filter type mm/damon: implement a new DAMOS filter type for active pages fs/dax: don't disassociate zero page entries MM documentation: add "Unaccepted" meminfo entry selftests/mm: add commentary about 9pfs bugs fork: use __vmalloc_node() for stack allocation docs/mm: Physical Memory: Populate the "Zones" section xen: balloon: update the NR_BALLOON_PAGES state hv_balloon: update the NR_BALLOON_PAGES state balloon_compaction: update the NR_BALLOON_PAGES state meminfo: add a per node counter for balloon drivers mm: remove references to folio in __memcg_kmem_uncharge_page() ...

Add a subsection to the percpu data for frequently accessed variables that should remain cached on each processor. These varables should not be accessed from other processors to avoid cacheline bouncing. This will replace the pcpu_hot struct on x86, and open up similar functionality to other architectures and the kernel core.

percpu: remove intermediate variable in PERCPU_PTR()

2024-12-31T01:59:09+00:00

The intermediate variable in the PERCPU_PTR() macro results in a kernel panic on boot [1] due to a compiler bug seen when compiling the kernel (+ KASAN) with gcc 11.3.1, but not when compiling with latest gcc (v14.2)/clang(v18.1). To solve it, remove the intermediate variable (which is not needed) and keep the casting that resolves the address space checks.
