Series "implement "memmap on memory" feature on s390". - More folio conversions from Matthew Wilcox in the series "Convert memcontrol charge moving to use folios" "mm: convert mm counter to take a folio" - Chengming Zhou has optimized zswap's rbtree locking, providing significant reductions in system time and modest but measurable reductions in overall runtimes. The series is "mm/zswap: optimize the scalability of zswap rb-tree". - Chengming Zhou has also provided the series "mm/zswap: optimize zswap lru list" which provides measurable runtime benefits in some swap-intensive situations. - And Chengming Zhou further optimizes zswap in the series "mm/zswap: optimize for dynamic zswap_pools". Measured improvements are modest. - zswap cleanups and simplifications from Yosry Ahmed in the series "mm: zswap: simplify zswap_swapoff()". - In the series "Add DAX ABI for memmap_on_memory", Vishal Verma has contributed several DAX cleanups as well as adding a sysfs tunable to control the memmap_on_memory setting when the dax device is hotplugged as system memory. - Johannes Weiner has added the large series "mm: zswap: cleanups", which does that. - More DAMON work from SeongJae Park in the series "mm/damon: make DAMON debugfs interface deprecation unignorable" "selftests/damon: add more tests for core functionalities and corner cases" "Docs/mm/damon: misc readability improvements" "mm/damon: let DAMOS feeds and tame/auto-tune itself" - In the series "mm/mempolicy: weighted interleave mempolicy and sysfs extension" Rakie Kim has developed a new mempolicy interleaving policy wherein we allocate memory across nodes in a weighted fashion rather than uniformly. This is beneficial in heterogeneous memory environments appearing with CXL. - Christophe Leroy has contributed some cleanup and consolidation work against the ARM pagetable dumping code in the series "mm: ptdump: Refactor CONFIG_DEBUG_WX and check_wx_pages debugfs attribute". - Luis Chamberlain has added some additional xarray selftesting in the series "test_xarray: advanced API multi-index tests". - Muhammad Usama Anjum has reworked the selftest code to make its human-readable output conform to the TAP ("Test Anything Protocol") format. Amongst other things, this opens up the use of third-party tools to parse and process out selftesting results. - Ryan Roberts has added fork()-time PTE batching of THP ptes in the series "mm/memory: optimize fork() with PTE-mapped THP". Mainly targeted at arm64, this significantly speeds up fork() when the process has a large number of pte-mapped folios. - David Hildenbrand also gets in on the THP pte batching game in his series "mm/memory: optimize unmap/zap with PTE-mapped THP". It implements batching during munmap() and other pte teardown situations. The microbenchmark improvements are nice. - And in the series "Transparent Contiguous PTEs for User Mappings" Ryan Roberts further utilizes arm's pte's contiguous bit ("contpte mappings"). Kernel build times on arm64 improved nicely. Ryan's series "Address some contpte nits" provides some followup work. - In the series "mm/hugetlb: Restore the reservation" Breno Leitao has fixed an obscure hugetlb race which was causing unnecessary page faults. He has also added a reproducer under the selftest code. - In the series "selftests/mm: Output cleanups for the compaction test", Mark Brown did what the title claims. - Kinsey Ho has added the series "mm/mglru: code cleanup and refactoring". - Even more zswap material from Nhat Pham. The series "fix and extend zswap kselftests" does as claimed. - In the series "Introduce cpu_dcache_is_aliasing() to fix DAX regression" Mathieu Desnoyers has cleaned up and fixed rather a mess in our handling of DAX on archiecctures which have virtually aliasing data caches. The arm architecture is the main beneficiary. - Lokesh Gidra's series "per-vma locks in userfaultfd" provides dramatic improvements in worst-case mmap_lock hold times during certain userfaultfd operations. - Some page_owner enhancements and maintenance work from Oscar Salvador in his series "page_owner: print stacks and their outstanding allocations" "page_owner: Fixup and cleanup" - Uladzislau Rezki has contributed some vmalloc scalability improvements in his series "Mitigate a vmap lock contention". It realizes a 12x improvement for a certain microbenchmark. - Some kexec/crash cleanup work from Baoquan He in the series "Split crash out from kexec and clean up related config items". - Some zsmalloc maintenance work from Chengming Zhou in the series "mm/zsmalloc: fix and optimize objects/page migration" "mm/zsmalloc: some cleanup for get/set_zspage_mapping()" - Zi Yan has taught the MM to perform compaction on folios larger than order=0. This a step along the path to implementaton of the merging of large anonymous folios. The series is named "Enable >0 order folio memory compaction". - Christoph Hellwig has done quite a lot of cleanup work in the pagecache writeback code in his series "convert write_cache_pages() to an iterator". - Some modest hugetlb cleanups and speedups in Vishal Moola's series "Handle hugetlb faults under the VMA lock". - Zi Yan has changed the page splitting code so we can split huge pages into sizes other than order-0 to better utilize large folios. The series is named "Split a folio to any lower order folios". - David Hildenbrand has contributed the series "mm: remove total_mapcount()", a cleanup. - Matthew Wilcox has sought to improve the performance of bulk memory freeing in his series "Rearrange batched folio freeing". - Gang Li's series "hugetlb: parallelize hugetlb page init on boot" provides large improvements in bootup times on large machines which are configured to use large numbers of hugetlb pages. - Matthew Wilcox's series "PageFlags cleanups" does that. - Qi Zheng's series "minor fixes and supplement for ptdesc" does that also. S390 is affected. - Cleanups to our pagemap utility functions from Peter Xu in his series "mm/treewide: Replace pXd_large() with pXd_leaf()". - Nico Pache has fixed a few things with our hugepage selftests in his series "selftests/mm: Improve Hugepage Test Handling in MM Selftests". - Also, of course, many singleton patches to many things.

The current implementation has a couple of shortcomings: - It fails to handle hybrid systems correctly. - The APIC registration code which handles CPU number assignents is in the middle of the APIC code and detached from the topology evaluation. - The various mechanisms which enumerate APICs, ACPI, MPPARSE and guest specific ones, tweak global variables as they see fit or in case of XENPV just hack around the generic mechanisms completely. - The CPUID topology evaluation code is sprinkled all over the vendor code and reevaluates global variables on every hotplug operation. - There is no way to analyze topology on the boot CPU before bringing up the APs. This causes problems for infrastructure like PERF which needs to size certain aspects upfront or could be simplified if that would be possible. - The APIC admission and CPU number association logic is incomprehensible and overly complex and needs to be kept around after boot instead of completing this right after the APIC enumeration. This update addresses these shortcomings with the following changes: - Rework the CPUID evaluation code so it is common for all vendors and provides information about the APIC ID segments in a uniform way independent of the number of segments (Thread, Core, Module, ..., Die, Package) so that this information can be computed instead of rewriting global variables of dubious value over and over. - A few cleanups and simplifcations of the APIC, IO/APIC and related interfaces to prepare for the topology evaluation changes. - Seperation of the parser stages so the early evaluation which tries to find the APIC address can be seperately overridden from the late evaluation which enumerates and registers the local APIC as further preparation for sanitizing the topology evaluation. - A new registration and admission logic which - encapsulates the inner workings so that parsers and guest logic cannot longer fiddle in it - uses the APIC ID segments to build topology bitmaps at registration time - provides a sane admission logic - allows to detect the crash kernel case, where CPU0 does not run on the real BSP, automatically. This is required to prevent sending INIT/SIPI sequences to the real BSP which would reset the whole machine. This was so far handled by a tedious command line parameter, which does not even work in nested crash scenarios. - Associates CPU number after the enumeration completed and prevents the late registration of APICs, which was somehow tolerated before. - Converting all parsers and guest enumeration mechanisms over to the new interfaces. This allows to get rid of all global variable tweaking from the parsers and enumeration mechanisms and sanitizes the XEN[PV] handling so it can use CPUID evaluation for the first time. - Mopping up existing sins by taking the information from the APIC ID segment bitmaps. This evaluates hybrid systems correctly on the boot CPU and allows for cleanups and fixes in the related drivers, e.g. PERF. The series has been extensively tested and the minimal late fallout due to a broken ACPI/MADT table has been addressed by tightening the admission logic further" * tag 'x86-apic-2024-03-10' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip: (76 commits) x86/topology: Ignore non-present APIC IDs in a present package x86/apic: Build the x86 topology enumeration functions on UP APIC builds too smp: Provide 'setup_max_cpus' definition on UP too smp: Avoid 'setup_max_cpus' namespace collision/shadowing x86/bugs: Use fixed addressing for VERW operand x86/cpu/topology: Get rid of cpuinfo::x86_max_cores x86/cpu/topology: Provide __num_[cores|threads]_per_package x86/cpu/topology: Rename topology_max_die_per_package() x86/cpu/topology: Rename smp_num_siblings x86/cpu/topology: Retrieve cores per package from topology bitmaps x86/cpu/topology: Use topology logical mapping mechanism x86/cpu/topology: Provide logical pkg/die mapping x86/cpu/topology: Simplify cpu_mark_primary_thread() x86/cpu/topology: Mop up primary thread mask handling x86/cpu/topology: Use topology bitmaps for sizing x86/cpu/topology: Let XEN/PV use topology from CPUID/MADT x86/xen/smp_pv: Count number of vCPUs early x86/cpu/topology: Assign hotpluggable CPUIDs during init x86/cpu/topology: Reject unknown APIC IDs on ACPI hotplug x86/topology: Add a mechanism to track topology via APIC IDs ... 2024-03-11T19:50:42+00:00 Linus Torvalds torvalds@linux-foundation.org 2024-03-11T19:50:42+00:00 urn:sha1:ff887eb07cf69a5c0a507a1311fb34bcd38450aa Pull workqueue updates from Tejun Heo: "This cycle, a lot of workqueue changes including some that are significant and invasive. - During v6.6 cycle, unbound workqueues were updated so that they are more topology aware and flexible, which among other things improved workqueue behavior on modern multi-L3 CPUs. In the process, commit 636b927eba5b ("workqueue: Make unbound workqueues to use per-cpu pool_workqueues") switched unbound workqueues to use per-CPU frontend pool_workqueues as a part of increasing front-back mapping flexibility. An unwelcome side effect of this change was that this made max concurrency enforcement per-CPU blowing up the maximum number of allowed concurrent executions. I incorrectly assumed that this wouldn't cause practical problems as most unbound workqueue users are self-regulate max concurrency; however, there definitely are which don't (e.g. on IO paths) and the drastic increase in the allowed max concurrency led to noticeable perf regressions in some use cases. This is now addressed by separating out max concurrency enforcement to a separate struct - wq_node_nr_active - which makes @max_active consistently mean system-wide max concurrency regardless of the number of CPUs or (finally) NUMA nodes. This is a rather invasive and, in places, a bit clunky; however, the clunkiness rises from the the inherent requirement to handle the disagreement between the execution locality domain and max concurrency enforcement domain on some modern machines. See commit 5797b1c18919 ("workqueue: Implement system-wide nr_active enforcement for unbound workqueues") for more details. - BH workqueue support is added. They are similar to per-CPU workqueues but execute work items in the softirq context. This is expected to replace tasklet. However, currently, it's missing the ability to disable and enable work items which is needed to convert many tasklet users. To avoid crowding this merge window too much, this will be included in the next merge window. A separate pull request will be sent for the couple conversion patches that are currently pending. - Waiman plugged a long-standing hole in workqueue CPU isolation where ordered workqueues didn't follow wq_unbound_cpumask updates. Ordered workqueues now follow the same rules as other unbound workqueues. - More CPU isolation improvements: Juri fixed another deficit in workqueue isolation where unbound rescuers don't respect wq_unbound_cpumask.

It is worth noting it is not that the freeing was not happening, it is just that our sanity checkers raced against the permission checkers which assume init memory is already gone. Commit 1a7b7d922081 ("modules: Use vmalloc special flag") moved calling do_free_init() into a global workqueue instead of relying on it being called through call_rcu(..., do_free_init), which used to allowed us call do_free_init() asynchronously after the end of a subsequent grace period. The move to a global workqueue broke the gaurantees for code which needed to be sure the do_free_init() would complete with rcu_barrier(). To fix this callers which used to rely on rcu_barrier() must now instead use flush_work(&init_free_wq). Without this fix, we still could encounter false positive reports in W+X checking since the rcu_barrier() here can not ensure the ordering now. Even worse, the rcu_barrier() can introduce significant delay. Eric Chanudet reported that the rcu_barrier introduces ~0.1s delay on a PREEMPT_RT kernel. [ 0.291444] Freeing unused kernel memory: 5568K [ 0.402442] Run /sbin/init as init process With this fix, the above delay can be eliminated.
