Patch series "memory-hotplug.rst: complete admin-guide overhaul", v3.
This patch (of 2):
We have the same content at Documentation/core-api/memory-hotplug.rst and
it doesn't fit into the admin-guide. The documentation was accidentially
duplicated when merging.

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rostedt/linux-trace
Pull tracing updates from Steven Rostedt:
- Added option for per CPU threads to the hwlat tracer
- Have hwlat tracer handle hotplug CPUs
- New tracer: osnoise, that detects latency caused by interrupts,
softirqs and scheduling of other tasks.
- Added timerlat tracer that creates a thread and measures in detail
what sources of latency it has for wake ups.
- Removed the "success" field of the sched_wakeup trace event. This has
been hardcoded as "1" since 2015, no tooling should be looking at it
now. If one exists, we can revert this commit, fix that tool and try
to remove it again in the future.
- tgid mapping fixed to handle more than PID_MAX_DEFAULT pids/tgids.
- New boot command line option "tp_printk_stop", as tp_printk causes
trace events to write to console. When user space starts, this can
easily live lock the system. Having a boot option to stop just after
boot up is useful to prevent that from happening.
- Have ftrace_dump_on_oops boot command line option take numbers that
match the numbers shown in /proc/sys/kernel/ftrace_dump_on_oops.
- Bootconfig clean ups, fixes and enhancements.
- New ktest script that tests bootconfig options.
- Add tracepoint_probe_register_may_exist() to register a tracepoint
without triggering a WARN*() if it already exists. BPF has a path
from user space that can do this. All other paths are considered a
bug.

Now that the feature is fully implemented (the faulting path hooks exist
so userspace is notified, and the ioctl to resolve such faults is
available), advertise this as a supported feature.

When using HUGETLB_PAGE_FREE_VMEMMAP, the freeing unused vmemmap pages
associated with each HugeTLB page is default off. Now the vmemmap is PMD
mapped. So there is no side effect when this feature is enabled with no
HugeTLB pages in the system. Someone may want to enable this feature in
the compiler time instead of using boot command line. So add a config to
make it default on when someone do not want to enable it via command line.

Add a kernel parameter hugetlb_free_vmemmap to enable the feature of
freeing unused vmemmap pages associated with each hugetlb page on boot.
We disable PMD mapping of vmemmap pages for x86-64 arch when this feature
is enabled. Because vmemmap_remap_free() depends on vmemmap being base
page mapped.

When we free a HugeTLB page to the buddy allocator, we need to allocate
the vmemmap pages associated with it. However, we may not be able to
allocate the vmemmap pages when the system is under memory pressure. In
this case, we just refuse to free the HugeTLB page. This changes behavior
in some corner cases as listed below:
1) Failing to free a huge page triggered by the user (decrease nr_pages).
User needs to try again later.
2) Failing to free a surplus huge page when freed by the application.
Try again later when freeing a huge page next time.
3) Failing to dissolve a free huge page on ZONE_MOVABLE via
offline_pages().
This can happen when we have plenty of ZONE_MOVABLE memory, but
not enough kernel memory to allocate vmemmmap pages. We may even
be able to migrate huge page contents, but will not be able to
dissolve the source huge page. This will prevent an offline
operation and is unfortunate as memory offlining is expected to
succeed on movable zones. Users that depend on memory hotplug
to succeed for movable zones should carefully consider whether the
memory savings gained from this feature are worth the risk of
possibly not being able to offline memory in certain situations.
4) Failing to dissolve a huge page on CMA/ZONE_MOVABLE via
alloc_contig_range() - once we have that handling in place. Mainly
affects CMA and virtio-mem.
Similar to 3). virito-mem will handle migration errors gracefully.
CMA might be able to fallback on other free areas within the CMA
region.
Vmemmap pages are allocated from the page freeing context. In order for
those allocations to be not disruptive (e.g. trigger oom killer)
__GFP_NORETRY is used. hugetlb_lock is dropped for the allocation because
a non sleeping allocation would be too fragile and it could fail too
easily under memory pressure. GFP_ATOMIC or other modes to access memory
reserves is not used because we want to prevent consuming reserves under
heavy hugetlb freeing.

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/device-mapper/linux-dm
Pull device mapper updates from Mike Snitzer:
- Various DM persistent-data library improvements and fixes that
benefit both the DM thinp and cache targets.
- A few small DM kcopyd efficiency improvements.
- Significant zoned related block core, DM core and DM zoned target
changes that culminate with adding zoned append emulation (which is
required to properly fix DM crypt's zoned support).
- Various DM writecache target changes that improve efficiency. Adds an
optional "metadata_only" feature that only promotes bios flagged with
REQ_META. But the most significant improvement is writecache's
ability to pause writeback, for a confiurable time, if/when the
working set is larger than the cache (and the cache is full) -- this
ensures performance is no worse than the slower origin device.

Pull timer updates from Thomas Gleixner:
"Time and clocksource/clockevent related updates:
Core changes:
- Infrastructure to support per CPU "broadcast" devices for per CPU
clockevent devices which stop in deep idle states. This allows us
to utilize the more efficient architected timer on certain ARM SoCs
for normal operation instead of permanentely using the slow to
access SoC specific clockevent device.
- Print the name of the broadcast/wakeup device in /proc/timer_list
- Make the clocksource watchdog more robust against delays between
reading the current active clocksource and the watchdog
clocksource. Such delays can be caused by NMIs, SMIs and vCPU
preemption.
Handle this by reading the watchdog clocksource twice, i.e. before
and after reading the current active clocksource. In case that the
two watchdog reads shows an excessive time delta, the read sequence
is repeated up to 3 times.
- Improve the debug output and add a test module for the watchdog
mechanism.
- Reimplementation of the venerable time64_to_tm() function with a
faster and significantly smaller version. Straight from the source,

This introduces a new sysctl vm.percpu_pagelist_high_fraction. It is
similar to the old vm.percpu_pagelist_fraction. The old sysctl increased
both pcp->batch and pcp->high with the higher pcp->high potentially
reducing zone->lock contention. However, the higher pcp->batch value also
potentially increased allocation latency while the PCP was refilled. This
sysctl only adjusts pcp->high so that zone->lock contention is potentially
reduced but allocation latency during a PCP refill remains the same.
# grep -E "high:|batch" /proc/zoneinfo | tail -2
high: 649
batch: 63
# sysctl vm.percpu_pagelist_high_fraction=8

Patch series "Calculate pcp->high based on zone sizes and active CPUs", v2.
The per-cpu page allocator (PCP) is meant to reduce contention on the zone
lock but the sizing of batch and high is archaic and neither takes the
zone size into account or the number of CPUs local to a zone. With larger
zones and more CPUs per node, the contention is getting worse.
Furthermore, the fact that vm.percpu_pagelist_fraction adjusts both batch
and high values means that the sysctl can reduce zone lock contention but
also increase allocation latencies.
This series disassociates pcp->high from pcp->batch and then scales
pcp->high based on the size of the local zone with limited impact to
reclaim and accounting for active CPUs but leaves pcp->batch static. It
also adapts the number of pages that can be on the pcp list based on
recent freeing patterns.
The motivation is partially to adjust to larger memory sizes but is also
driven by the fact that large batches of page freeing via release_pages()
often shows zone contention as a major part of the problem. Another is a
bug report based on an older kernel where a multi-terabyte process can
takes several minutes to exit. A workaround was to use
vm.percpu_pagelist_fraction to increase the pcp->high value but testing
indicated that a production workload could not use the same values because
of an increase in allocation latencies. Unfortunately, I cannot reproduce
this test case myself as the multi-terabyte machines are in active use but
it should alleviate the problem.
The series aims to address both and partially acts as a pre-requisite.
pcp only works with order-0 which is useless for SLUB (when using high
orders) and THP (unconditionally). To store high-order pages on PCP, the
pcp->high values need to be increased first.
This patch (of 6):
The vm.percpu_pagelist_fraction is used to increase the batch and high
limits for the per-cpu page allocator (PCP). The intent behind the sysctl
is to reduce zone lock acquisition when allocating/freeing pages but it
has a problem. While it can decrease contention, it can also increase
latency on the allocation side due to unreasonably large batch sizes.
This leads to games where an administrator adjusts
percpu_pagelist_fraction on the fly to work around contention and
allocation latency problems.
This series aims to alleviate the problems with zone lock contention while
avoiding the allocation-side latency problems. For the purposes of
review, it's easier to remove this sysctl now and reintroduce a similar
sysctl later in the series that deals only with pcp->high.

The macro PAGE_REPORTING_MIN_ORDER is defined as the page reporting
threshold. It can't be adjusted at runtime.
This introduces a variable (@page_reporting_order) to replace the marcro
(PAGE_REPORTING_MIN_ORDER). MAX_ORDER is assigned to it initially,
meaning the page reporting is disabled. It will be specified by driver if
valid one is provided. Otherwise, it will fall back to @pageblock_order.
It's also exported so that the page reporting order can be adjusted at
runtime.

Commit 95b88f4d71cb953e02206be3c757083601391a0f ("dm writecache: pause
writeback if cache full and origin being written directly") introduced a
code that pauses cache flushing if we are issuing writes directly to the
origin.
Improve that initial commit by making the timeout code configurable
(via the option "pause_writeback"). Also change the default from 1s to
3s because it performed better.

'x86/amd', 'virtio' and 'core' into next

When the clocksource watchdog marks a clock as unstable, this might
be due to that clock being unstable or it might be due to delays that
happen to occur between the reads of the two clocks. It would be good
to have a way of testing the clocksource watchdog's ability to
distinguish between these two causes of clock skew and instability.
Therefore, provide a new clocksource-wdtest module selected by a new
TEST_CLOCKSOURCE_WATCHDOG Kconfig option. This module has a single module
parameter named "holdoff" that provides the number of seconds of delay
before testing should start, which defaults to zero when built as a module
and to 10 seconds when built directly into the kernel. Very large systems
that boot slowly may need to increase the value of this module parameter.
This module uses hand-crafted clocksource structures to do its testing,
thus avoiding messing up timing for the rest of the kernel and for user
applications. This module first verifies that the ->uncertainty_margin
field of the clocksource structures are set sanely. It then tests the
delay-detection capability of the clocksource watchdog, increasing the
number of consecutive delays injected, first provoking console messages
complaining about the delays and finally forcing a clock-skew event.
Unexpected test results cause at least one WARN_ON_ONCE() console splat.
If there are no splats, the test has passed. Finally, it fuzzes the
value returned from a clocksource to test the clocksource watchdog's
ability to detect time skew.
This module checks the state of its clocksource after each test, and
uses WARN_ON_ONCE() to emit a console splat if there are any failures.
This should enable all types of test frameworks to detect any such
failures.
This facility is intended for diagnostic use only, and should be avoided
on production systems.

Currently, if skew is detected on a clock marked CLOCK_SOURCE_VERIFY_PERCPU,
that clock is checked on all CPUs. This is thorough, but might not be
what you want on a system with a few tens of CPUs, let alone a few hundred
of them.
Therefore, by default check only up to eight randomly chosen CPUs. Also
provide a new clocksource.verify_n_cpus kernel boot parameter. A value of
-1 says to check all of the CPUs, and a non-negative value says to randomly
select that number of CPUs, without concern about selecting the same CPU
multiple times. However, make use of a cpumask so that a given CPU will be
checked at most once.

When the clocksource watchdog marks a clock as unstable, this might be due
to that clock being unstable or it might be due to delays that happen to
occur between the reads of the two clocks. Yes, interrupts are disabled
across those two reads, but there are no shortage of things that can delay
interrupts-disabled regions of code ranging from SMI handlers to vCPU
preemption. It would be good to have some indication as to why the clock
was marked unstable.
Therefore, re-read the watchdog clock on either side of the read from the
clock under test. If the watchdog clock shows an excessive time delta
between its pair of reads, the reads are retried.
The maximum number of retries is specified by a new kernel boot parameter
clocksource.max_cswd_read_retries, which defaults to three, that is, up to
four reads, one initial and up to three retries. If more than one retry
was required, a message is printed on the console (the occasional single
retry is expected behavior, especially in guest OSes). If the maximum
number of retries is exceeded, the clock under test will be marked
unstable. However, the probability of this happening due to various sorts
of delays is quite small. In addition, the reason (clock-read delays) for
the unstable marking will be apparent.

Introduce an rq-qos policy that assigns an I/O priority to requests based
on blk-cgroup configuration settings. This policy has the following
advantages over the ioprio_set() system call:
- This policy is cgroup based so it has all the advantages of cgroups.
- While ioprio_set() does not affect page cache writeback I/O, this rq-qos
controller affects page cache writeback I/O for filesystems that support
assiociating a cgroup with writeback I/O. See also

Commit bf382fb0bcef4 ("block: remove legacy IO schedulers", Oct 12 2018)
removes the CFQ scheduler, together with blkio.weight and
blkio.weight_device described in cgroup v1 documentation. Users are
supposed to use the BFQ scheduler, which cgroup file for setting weight
is blkio.bfq.weight, but there is no way to set per-device weight.
Later, commit 795fe54c2a8 per-device weights for BFQ, meaning that
blkio.bfq.weight and blkio.bfq.weight_device can be used in a way
similar to the old CFQ cgroup interface.
Yet, the cgroup v1 docs were never updated. Fix this:
- use the new file names;
- fix the range for weight (used to be 10..1000, now 1..1000);
- link to BFQ scheduler docs.
