git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gregkh/driver-core
Pull driver core updates from Greg KH:
"Here is the set of driver core changes for 5.19-rc1.
Lots of tiny driver core changes and cleanups happened this cycle, but
the two major things are:
- firmware_loader reorganization and additions including the ability
to have XZ compressed firmware images and the ability for userspace
to initiate the firmware load when it needs to, instead of being
always initiated by the kernel. FPGA devices specifically want this
ability to have their firmware changed over the lifetime of the
system boot, and this allows them to work without having to come up
with yet-another-custom-uapi interface for loading firmware for
them.
- physical location support added to sysfs so that devices that know
this information, can tell userspace where they are located in a
common way. Some ACPI devices already support this today, and more
bus types should support this in the future.
Smaller changes include:
- driver_override api cleanups and fixes
- error path cleanups and fixes
- get_abi script fixes
- deferred probe timeout changes.
It's that last change that I'm the most worried about. It has been
reported to cause boot problems for a number of systems, and I have a
tested patch series that resolves this issue. But I didn't get it
merged into my tree before 5.18-final came out, so it has not gotten
any linux-next testing.
I'll send the fixup patches (there are 2) as a follow-on series to this
pull request.
All have been tested in linux-next for weeks, with no reported issues
other than the above-mentioned boot time-outs"

Pull random number generator updates from Jason Donenfeld:
"These updates continue to refine the work began in 5.17 and 5.18 of
modernizing the RNG's crypto and streamlining and documenting its
code.
New for 5.19, the updates aim to improve entropy collection methods
and make some initial decisions regarding the "premature next" problem
and our threat model. The cloc utility now reports that random.c is
931 lines of code and 466 lines of comments, not that basic metrics
like that mean all that much, but at the very least it tells you that
this is very much a manageable driver now.
Here's a summary of the various updates:
- The random_get_entropy() function now always returns something at
least minimally useful. This is the primary entropy source in most
collectors, which in the best case expands to something like RDTSC,
but prior to this change, in the worst case it would just return 0,
contributing nothing. For 5.19, additional architectures are wired
up, and architectures that are entirely missing a cycle counter now
have a generic fallback path, which uses the highest resolution
clock available from the timekeeping subsystem.
Some of those clocks can actually be quite good, despite the CPU
not having a cycle counter of its own, and going off-core for a
stamp is generally thought to increase jitter, something positive
from the perspective of entropy gathering. Done very early on in
the development cycle, this has been sitting in next getting some
testing for a while now and has relevant acks from the archs, so it
should be pretty well tested and fine, but is nonetheless the thing
I'll be keeping my eye on most closely.
- Of particular note with the random_get_entropy() improvements is
MIPS, which, on CPUs that lack the c0 count register, will now
combine the high-speed but short-cycle c0 random register with the
lower-speed but long-cycle generic fallback path.
- With random_get_entropy() now always returning something useful,
the interrupt handler now collects entropy in a consistent
construction.
- Rather than comparing two samples of random_get_entropy() for the
jitter dance, the algorithm now tests many samples, and uses the
amount of differing ones to determine whether or not jitter entropy
is usable and how laborious it must be. The problem with comparing
only two samples was that if the cycle counter was extremely slow,
but just so happened to be on the cusp of a change, the slowness
wouldn't be detected. Taking many samples fixes that to some
degree.
This, combined with the other improvements to random_get_entropy(),
should make future unification of /dev/random and /dev/urandom
maybe more possible. At the very least, were we to attempt it again
today (we're not), it wouldn't break any of Guenter's test rigs
that broke when we tried it with 5.18. So, not today, but perhaps
down the road, that's something we can revisit.
- We attempt to reseed the RNG immediately upon waking up from system
suspend or hibernation, making use of the various timestamps about
suspend time and such available, as well as the usual inputs such
as RDRAND when available.
- Batched randomness now falls back to ordinary randomness before the
RNG is initialized. This provides more consistent guarantees to the
types of random numbers being returned by the various accessors.
- The "pre-init injection" code is now gone for good. I suspect you
in particular will be happy to read that, as I recall you
expressing your distaste for it a few months ago. Instead, to avoid
a "premature first" issue, while still allowing for maximal amount
of entropy availability during system boot, the first 128 bits of
estimated entropy are used immediately as it arrives, with the next
128 bits being buffered. And, as before, after the RNG has been
fully initialized, it winds up reseeding anyway a few seconds later
in most cases. This resulted in a pretty big simplification of the
initialization code and let us remove various ad-hoc mechanisms
like the ugly crng_pre_init_inject().
- The RNG no longer pretends to handle the "premature next" security
model, something that various academics and other RNG designs have
tried to care about in the past. After an interesting mailing list
thread, these issues are thought to be a) mainly academic and not
practical at all, and b) actively harming the real security of the
RNG by delaying new entropy additions after a potential compromise,
making a potentially bad situation even worse. As well, in the
first place, our RNG never even properly handled the premature next
issue, so removing an incomplete solution to a fake problem was
particularly nice.
This allowed for numerous other simplifications in the code, which
is a lot cleaner as a consequence. If you didn't see it before,
https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/YmlMGx6+uigkGiZ0@zx2c4.com/ may be a
thread worth skimming through.
- While the interrupt handler received a separate code path years ago
that avoids locks by using per-cpu data structures and a faster
mixing algorithm, in order to reduce interrupt latency, input and
disk events that are triggered in hardirq handlers were still
hitting locks and more expensive algorithms. Those are now
redirected to use the faster per-cpu data structures.
- Rather than having the fake-crypto almost-siphash-based random32
implementation be used right and left, and in many places where
cryptographically secure randomness is desirable, the batched
entropy code is now fast enough to replace that.
- As usual, numerous code quality and documentation cleanups. For
example, the initialization state machine now uses enum symbolic
constants instead of just hard coding numbers everywhere.
- Since the RNG initializes once, and then is always initialized
thereafter, a pretty heavy amount of code used during that
initialization is never used again. It is now completely cordoned
off using static branches and it winds up in the .text.unlikely
section so that it doesn't reduce cache compactness after the RNG
is ready.
- A variety of functions meant for waiting on the RNG to be
initialized were only used by vsprintf, and in not a particularly
optimal way. Replacing that usage with a more ordinary setup made
it possible to remove those functions.
- A cleanup of how we warn userspace about the use of uninitialized
/dev/urandom and uninitialized get_random_bytes() usage.
Interestingly, with the change you merged for 5.18 that attempts to
use jitter (but does not block if it can't), the majority of users
should never see those warnings for /dev/urandom at all now, and
the one for in-kernel usage is mainly a debug thing.
- The file_operations struct for /dev/[u]random now implements
.read_iter and .write_iter instead of .read and .write, allowing it
to also implement .splice_read and .splice_write, which makes
splice(2) work again after it was broken here (and in many other
places in the tree) during the set_fs() removal. This was a bit of
a last minute arrival from Jens that hasn't had as much time to
bake, so I'll be keeping my eye on this as well, but it seems
fairly ordinary. Unfortunately, read_iter() is around 3% slower
than read() in my tests, which I'm not thrilled about. But Jens and
Al, spurred by this observation, seem to be making progress in
removing the bottlenecks on the iter paths in the VFS layer in
general, which should remove the performance gap for all drivers.
- Assorted other bug fixes, cleanups, and optimizations.
- A small SipHash cleanup"

The Cryptographic Acceleration and Assurance Module (CAAM) is an IP core
built into many newer i.MX and QorIQ SoCs by NXP.
The CAAM does crypto acceleration, hardware number generation and
has a blob mechanism for encapsulation/decapsulation of sensitive material.
This blob mechanism depends on a device specific random 256-bit One Time
Programmable Master Key that is fused in each SoC at manufacturing
time. This key is unreadable and can only be used by the CAAM for AES
encryption/decryption of user data.
This makes it a suitable backend (source) for kernel trusted keys.
Previous commits generalized trusted keys to support multiple backends
and added an API to access the CAAM blob mechanism. Based on these,
provide the necessary glue to use the CAAM for trusted keys.

The two existing trusted key sources don't make use of the kernel RNG,
but instead let the hardware doing the sealing/unsealing also
generate the random key material. However, both users and future
backends may want to place less trust into the quality of the trust
source's random number generator and instead reuse the kernel entropy
pool, which can be seeded from multiple entropy sources.
Make this possible by adding a new trusted.rng parameter,
that will force use of the kernel RNG. In its absence, it's up
to the trust source to decide, which random numbers to use,
maintaining the existing behavior.

Applications can currently escape their cgroup memory containment when
zswap is enabled. This patch adds per-cgroup tracking and limiting of
zswap backend memory to rectify this.
The existing cgroup2 memory.stat file is extended to show zswap statistics
analogous to what's in meminfo and vmstat. Furthermore, two new control
files, memory.zswap.current and memory.zswap.max, are added to allow
tuning zswap usage on a per-workload basis. This is important since not
all workloads benefit from zswap equally; some even suffer compared to
disk swap when memory contents don't compress well. The optimal size of
the zswap pool, and the threshold for writeback, also depends on the size
of the workload's warm set.
The implementation doesn't use a traditional page_counter transaction.
zswap is unconventional as a memory consumer in that we only know the
amount of memory to charge once expensive compression has occurred. If
zwap is disabled or the limit is already exceeded we obviously don't want
to compress page upon page only to reject them all. Instead, the limit is
checked against current usage, then we compress and charge. This allows
some limit overrun, but not enough to matter in practice.

Some firmware supplies PCI host bridge _CRS that includes address space
unusable by PCI devices, e.g., space occupied by host bridge registers or
used by hidden PCI devices.
To avoid this unusable space, Linux currently excludes E820 reserved
regions from _CRS windows; see 4dc2287c1805 ("x86: avoid E820 regions when
allocating address space").
However, this use of E820 reserved regions to clip things out of _CRS is
not supported by ACPI, UEFI, or PCI Firmware specs, and some systems have
E820 reserved regions that cover the entire memory window from _CRS.
4dc2287c1805 clips the entire window, leaving no space for hot-added or
uninitialized PCI devices.
For example, from a Lenovo IdeaPad 3 15IIL 81WE:
BIOS-e820: [mem 0x4bc50000-0xcfffffff] reserved
pci_bus 0000:00: root bus resource [mem 0x65400000-0xbfffffff window]
pci 0000:00:15.0: BAR 0: [mem 0x00000000-0x00000fff 64bit]
pci 0000:00:15.0: BAR 0: no space for [mem size 0x00001000 64bit]
Future patches will add quirks to enable/disable E820 clipping
automatically.
Add a "pci=no_e820" kernel command line option to disable clipping with
E820 reserved regions. Also add a matching "pci=use_e820" option to enable
clipping with E820 reserved regions if that has been disabled by default by
further patches in this patch-set.
Both options taint the kernel because they are intended for debugging and
workaround purposes until a quirk can set them automatically.

The deferred probe timer that's used for this currently starts at
late_initcall and runs for driver_deferred_probe_timeout seconds. The
assumption being that all available drivers would be loaded and
registered before the timer expires. This means, the
driver_deferred_probe_timeout has to be pretty large for it to cover the
worst case. But if we set the default value for it to cover the worst
case, it would significantly slow down the average case. For this
reason, the default value is set to 0.
Also, with CONFIG_MODULES=y and the current default values of
driver_deferred_probe_timeout=0 and fw_devlink=on, devices with missing
drivers will cause their consumer devices to always defer their probes.
This is because device links created by fw_devlink defer the probe even
before the consumer driver's probe() is called.
Instead of a fixed timeout, if we extend an unexpired deferred probe
timer on every successful driver registration, with the expectation more
modules would be loaded in the near future, then the default value of
driver_deferred_probe_timeout only needs to be as long as the worst case
time difference between two consecutive module loads.
So let's implement that and set the default value to 10 seconds when
CONFIG_MODULES=y.

There's currently no way to use driver_async_probe kernel cmdline param
to enable default async probe for all drivers. So, add support for "*"
to match with all driver names. When "*" is used, all other drivers
listed in driver_async_probe are drivers that will NOT match the "*".
For example:
* driver_async_probe=drvA,drvB,drvC
drvA, drvB and drvC do asynchronous probing.
* driver_async_probe=*
All drivers do asynchronous probing except those that have set
PROBE_FORCE_SYNCHRONOUS flag.
* driver_async_probe=*,drvA,drvB,drvC
All drivers do asynchronous probing except drvA, drvB, drvC and those
that have set PROBE_FORCE_SYNCHRONOUS flag.

When "crashkernel=X,high" is specified, the specified "crashkernel=Y,low"
memory is not required in the following corner cases:
1. If both CONFIG_ZONE_DMA and CONFIG_ZONE_DMA32 are disabled, it means
that the devices can access any memory.
2. If the system memory is small, the crash high memory may be allocated
from the DMA zones. If that happens, there's no need to allocate
another crash low memory because there's already one.
Add condition '(crash_base >= CRASH_ADDR_LOW_MAX)' to determine whether
the 'high' memory is allocated above DMA zones. Note: when both
CONFIG_ZONE_DMA and CONFIG_ZONE_DMA32 are disabled, the entire physical
memory is DMA accessible, CRASH_ADDR_LOW_MAX equals 'PHYS_MASK + 1'.

We run a lot of automated tests when building our software and run into
OOM scenarios when the tests run unbounded. v1 memcg exports
memcg->watermark as "memory.max_usage_in_bytes" in sysfs. We use this
metric to heuristically limit the number of tests that can run in parallel
based on per test historical data.
This metric is currently not exported for v2 memcg and there is no other
easy way of getting this information. getrusage() syscall returns
"ru_maxrss" which can be used as an approximation but that's the max RSS
of a single child process across all children instead of the aggregated
max for all child processes. The only work around is to periodically poll
"memory.current" but that's not practical for short-lived one-off cgroups.
Hence, expose memcg->watermark as "memory.peak" for v2 memcg.

We must add hugetlb_free_vmemmap=on (or "off") to the boot cmdline and
reboot the server to enable or disable the feature of optimizing vmemmap
pages associated with HugeTLB pages. However, rebooting usually takes a
long time. So add a sysctl to enable or disable the feature at runtime
without rebooting. Why we need this? There are 3 use cases.
1) The feature of minimizing overhead of struct page associated with
each HugeTLB is disabled by default without passing
"hugetlb_free_vmemmap=on" to the boot cmdline. When we (ByteDance)
deliver the servers to the users who want to enable this feature, they
have to configure the grub (change boot cmdline) and reboot the
servers, whereas rebooting usually takes a long time (we have thousands
of servers). It's a very bad experience for the users. So we need a
approach to enable this feature after rebooting. This is a use case in
our practical environment.
2) Some use cases are that HugeTLB pages are allocated 'on the fly'
instead of being pulled from the HugeTLB pool, those workloads would be
affected with this feature enabled. Those workloads could be
identified by the characteristics of they never explicitly allocating
huge pages with 'nr_hugepages' but only set 'nr_overcommit_hugepages'
and then let the pages be allocated from the buddy allocator at fault
time. We can confirm it is a real use case from the commit
099730d67417. For those workloads, the page fault time could be ~2x
slower than before. We suspect those users want to disable this
feature if the system has enabled this before and they don't think the
memory savings benefit is enough to make up for the performance drop.
3) If the workload which wants vmemmap pages to be optimized and the
workload which wants to set 'nr_overcommit_hugepages' and does not want
the extera overhead at fault time when the overcommitted pages be
allocated from the buddy allocator are deployed in the same server.
The user could enable this feature and set 'nr_hugepages' and
'nr_overcommit_hugepages', then disable the feature. In this case, the
overcommited HugeTLB pages will not encounter the extra overhead at
fault time.

exp.2022.05.11a: Expedited-grace-period latency-reduction updates.

Currently both expedited and regular grace period stall warnings use
a single timeout value that with units of seconds. However, recent
Android use cases problem require a sub-100-millisecond expedited RCU CPU
stall warning. Given that expedited RCU grace periods normally complete
in far less than a single millisecond, especially for small systems,
this is not unreasonable.
Therefore introduce the CONFIG_RCU_EXP_CPU_STALL_TIMEOUT kernel
configuration that defaults to 20 msec on Android and remains the same
as that of the non-expedited stall warnings otherwise. It also can be
changed in run-time via: /sys/.../parameters/rcu_exp_cpu_stall_timeout.

This patch series adds a memory.reclaim proactive reclaim interface.
The rationale behind the interface and how it works are in the first
patch.
This patch (of 4):
Introduce a memcg interface to trigger memory reclaim on a memory cgroup.
Use case: Proactive Reclaim
---------------------------
A userspace proactive reclaimer can continuously probe the memcg to
reclaim a small amount of memory. This gives more accurate and up-to-date
workingset estimation as the LRUs are continuously sorted and can
potentially provide more deterministic memory overcommit behavior. The
memory overcommit controller can provide more proactive response to the
changing behavior of the running applications instead of being reactive.
A userspace reclaimer's purpose in this case is not a complete replacement
for kswapd or direct reclaim, it is to proactively identify memory savings
opportunities and reclaim some amount of cold pages set by the policy to
free up the memory for more demanding jobs or scheduling new jobs.
A user space proactive reclaimer is used in Google data centers.
Additionally, Meta's TMO paper recently referenced a very similar
interface used for user space proactive reclaim:
https://dl.acm.org/doi/pdf/10.1145/3503222.3507731
Benefits of a user space reclaimer:
-----------------------------------
1) More flexible on who should be charged for the cpu of the memory
reclaim. For proactive reclaim, it makes more sense to be centralized.
2) More flexible on dedicating the resources (like cpu). The memory
overcommit controller can balance the cost between the cpu usage and
the memory reclaimed.
3) Provides a way to the applications to keep their LRUs sorted, so,
under memory pressure better reclaim candidates are selected. This
also gives more accurate and uptodate notion of working set for an
application.
Why memory.high is not enough?
------------------------------
- memory.high can be used to trigger reclaim in a memcg and can
potentially be used for proactive reclaim. However there is a big
downside in using memory.high. It can potentially introduce high
reclaim stalls in the target application as the allocations from the
processes or the threads of the application can hit the temporary
memory.high limit.
- Userspace proactive reclaimers usually use feedback loops to decide
how much memory to proactively reclaim from a workload. The metrics
used for this are usually either refaults or PSI, and these metrics will
become messy if the application gets throttled by hitting the high
limit.
- memory.high is a stateful interface, if the userspace proactive
reclaimer crashes for any reason while triggering reclaim it can leave
the application in a bad state.
- If a workload is rapidly expanding, setting memory.high to proactively
reclaim memory can result in actually reclaiming more memory than
intended.
The benefits of such interface and shortcomings of existing interface were
further discussed in this RFC thread:
https://lore.kernel.org/linux-mm/5df21376-7dd1-bf81-8414-32a73cea45dd@google.com/
Interface:
----------
Introducing a very simple memcg interface 'echo 10M > memory.reclaim' to
trigger reclaim in the target memory cgroup.
The interface is introduced as a nested-keyed file to allow for future
optional arguments to be easily added to configure the behavior of
reclaim.
Possible Extensions:
--------------------
- This interface can be extended with an additional parameter or flags
to allow specifying one or more types of memory to reclaim from (e.g.
file, anon, ..).
- The interface can also be extended with a node mask to reclaim from
specific nodes. This has use cases for reclaim-based demotion in memory
tiering systens.
- A similar per-node interface can also be added to support proactive
reclaim and reclaim-based demotion in systems without memcg.
- Add a timeout parameter to make it easier for user space to call the
interface without worrying about being blocked for an undefined amount
of time.
For now, let's keep things simple by adding the basic functionality.
