proc/ksm: add ksm stats to /proc/pid/smaps
With madvise and prctl KSM can be enabled for different VMA's. Once it is enabled we can query how effective KSM is overall. However we cannot easily query if an individual VMA benefits from KSM. This commit adds a KSM section to the /prod/<pid>/smaps file. It reports how many of the pages are KSM pages. Note that KSM-placed zeropages are not included, only actual KSM pages. Here is a typical output: 7f420a000000-7f421a000000 rw-p 00000000 00:00 0 Size: 262144 kB KernelPageSize: 4 kB MMUPageSize: 4 kB Rss: 51212 kB Pss: 8276 kB Shared_Clean: 172 kB Shared_Dirty: 42996 kB Private_Clean: 196 kB Private_Dirty: 7848 kB Referenced: 15388 kB Anonymous: 51212 kB KSM: 41376 kB LazyFree: 0 kB AnonHugePages: 0 kB ShmemPmdMapped: 0 kB FilePmdMapped: 0 kB Shared_Hugetlb: 0 kB Private_Hugetlb: 0 kB Swap: 202016 kB SwapPss: 3882 kB Locked: 0 kB THPeligible: 0 ProtectionKey: 0 ksm_state: 0 ksm_skip_base: 0 ksm_skip_count: 0 VmFlags: rd wr mr mw me nr mg anon This information also helps with the following workflow: - First enable KSM for all the VMA's of a process with prctl. - Then analyze with the above smaps report which VMA's benefit the most - Change the application (if possible) to add the corresponding madvise calls for the VMA's that benefit the most [shr@devkernel.io: v5] Link: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20230823170107.1457915-1-shr@devkernel.io Link: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20230822180539.1424843-1-shr@devkernel.io Signed-off-by: Stefan Roesch <shr@devkernel.io> Reviewed-by: David Hildenbrand <david@redhat.com> Cc: Johannes Weiner <hannes@cmpxchg.org> Cc: Rik van Riel <riel@surriel.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> |

CET consists of two related security features: shadow stacks and indirect branch tracking. This series implements just the shadow stack part of this feature, and just for userspace. The main use case for shadow stack is providing protection against return oriented programming attacks. It works by maintaining a secondary (shadow) stack using a special memory type that has protections against modification. When executing a CALL instruction, the processor pushes the return address to both the normal stack and to the special permission shadow stack. Upon RET, the processor pops the shadow stack copy and compares it to the normal stack copy.

sysctl-6.6-rc1
Long ago we set out to remove the kitchen sink on kernel/sysctl.c arrays and placings sysctls to their own sybsystem or file to help avoid merge conflicts. Matthew Wilcox pointed out though that if we're going to do that we might as well also *save* space while at it and try to remove the extra last sysctl entry added at the end of each array, a sentintel, instead of bloating the kernel by adding a new sentinel with each array moved. Doing that was not so trivial, and has required slowing down the moves of kernel/sysctl.c arrays and measuring the impact on size by each new move. The complex part of the effort to help reduce the size of each sysctl is being done by the patient work of el señor Don Joel Granados. A lot of this is truly painful code refactoring and testing and then trying to measure the savings of each move and removing the sentinels. Although Joel already has code which does most of this work, experience with sysctl moves in the past shows is we need to be careful due to the slew of odd build failures that are possible due to the amount of random Kconfig options sysctls use. To that end Joel's work is split by first addressing the major housekeeping needed to remove the sentinels, which is part of this merge request. The rest of the work to actually remove the sentinels will be done later in future kernel releases. At first I was only going to send his first 7 patches of his patch series, posted 1 month ago, but in retrospect due to the testing the changes have received in linux-next and the minor changes they make this goes with the entire set of patches Joel had planned: just sysctl house keeping. There are networking changes but these are part of the house keeping too. The preliminary math is showing this will all help reduce the overall build time size of the kernel and run time memory consumed by the kernel by about ~64 bytes per array where we are able to remove each sentinel in the future. That also means there is no more bloating the kernel with the extra ~64 bytes per array moved as no new sentinels are created. Most of this has been in linux-next for about a month, the last 7 patches took a minor refresh 2 week ago based on feedback. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iQJGBAABCgAwFiEENnNq2KuOejlQLZofziMdCjCSiKcFAmTuVnMSHG1jZ3JvZkBr ZXJuZWwub3JnAAoJEM4jHQowkoinIckP/imvRlfkO6L0IP7MmJBRPtwY01rsTAKO Q14dZ//bG4DVQeGl1FdzrF6hhuLgekU0qW1YDFIWiCXO7CbaxaNBPSUkeW6ReVoC R/VHNUPxSR1PWQy1OTJV2t4XKri2sB7ijmUsfsATtISwhei9bggTHEysShtP4tv+ U87DzhoqMnbYIsfMo49KCqOa1Qm7TmjC1a7WAp6Fph3GJuXAzZR5pXpsd0NtOZ9x Ud5RT22icnQpMl7K+yPsqY6XcS5JkgBe/WbSzMAUkYZvBZFBq9t2D+OW5h9TZMhw piJWQ9X0Rm7qI2D15mJfXwaOhhyDhWci391hzdJmS6DI0prf6Ma2NFdAWOt/zomI uiRujS4bGeBUaK5F4TX2WQ1+jdMtAZ+0FncFnzt4U8q7dzUc91uVCm6iHW3gcfAb N7OEg2ZL0gkkgCZHqKxN8wpNQiC2KwnNk+HLAbnL2a/oJYfBtdopQmlxWfrN2hpF xxROiENqk483BRdMXDq6DR/gyDZmZWCobXIglSzlqCOjCOcLbDziIJ7pJk83ok09 h/QnXTYHf9protBq9OIQesgh2pwNzBBLifK84KZLKcb7IbdIKjpQrW5STp04oNGf wcGJzEz8tXUe0UKyMM47AcHQGzIy6cdXNLjyF8a+m7rnZzr1ndnMqZyRStZzuQin AUg2VWHKPmW9 =sq2p -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- Merge tag 'sysctl-6.6-rc1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/mcgrof/linux Pull sysctl updates from Luis Chamberlain: "Long ago we set out to remove the kitchen sink on kernel/sysctl.c arrays and placings sysctls to their own sybsystem or file to help avoid merge conflicts.

Pull vfs timestamp updates from Christian Brauner:
"This adds VFS support for multi-grain timestamps and converts tmpfs,
xfs, ext4, and btrfs to use them. This carries acks from all relevant
filesystems.
The VFS always uses coarse-grained timestamps when updating the ctime
and mtime after a change. This has the benefit of allowing filesystems
to optimize away a lot of metadata updates, down to around 1 per
jiffy, even when a file is under heavy writes.
Unfortunately, this has always been an issue when we're exporting via
NFSv3, which relies on timestamps to validate caches. A lot of changes
can happen in a jiffy, so timestamps aren't sufficient to help the
client decide to invalidate the cache.
Even with NFSv4, a lot of exported filesystems don't properly support
a change attribute and are subject to the same problems with timestamp
granularity. Other applications have similar issues with timestamps
(e.g., backup applications).
If we were to always use fine-grained timestamps, that would improve
the situation, but that becomes rather expensive, as the underlying
filesystem would have to log a lot more metadata updates.
This introduces fine-grained timestamps that are used when they are
actively queried.
This uses the 31st bit of the ctime tv_nsec field to indicate that
something has queried the inode for the mtime or ctime. When this flag
is set, on the next mtime or ctime update, the kernel will fetch a
fine-grained timestamp instead of the usual coarse-grained one.
As POSIX generally mandates that when the mtime changes, the ctime
must also change the kernel always stores normalized ctime values, so
only the first 30 bits of the tv_nsec field are ever used.
Filesytems can opt into this behavior by setting the FS_MGTIME flag in
the fstype. Filesystems that don't set this flag will continue to use
coarse-grained timestamps.
Various preparatory changes, fixes and cleanups are included:
- Fixup all relevant places where POSIX requires updating ctime
together with mtime. This is a wide-range of places and all
maintainers provided necessary Acks.
- Add new accessors for inode->i_ctime directly and change all
callers to rely on them. Plain accesses to inode->i_ctime are now
gone and it is accordingly rename to inode->__i_ctime and commented
as requiring accessors.
- Extend generic_fillattr() to pass in a request mask mirroring in a
sense the statx() uapi. This allows callers to pass in a request
mask to only get a subset of attributes filled in.
- Rework timestamp updates so it's possible to drop the @now
parameter the update_time() inode operation and associated helpers.
- Add inode_update_timestamps() and convert all filesystems to it
removing a bunch of open-coding"

Even if g is a group leader and thus can't exit before t, t or another sub-thread can exec and remove g from the thread_group list. The only lockless user of while_each_thread() is first_tid() and it is fine in that it can't loop forever, yet for_each_thread() looks better and I am going to change while_each_thread/next_thread.

mm: enable page walking API to lock vmas during the walk
walk_page_range() and friends often operate under write-locked mmap_lock. With introduction of vma locks, the vmas have to be locked as well during such walks to prevent concurrent page faults in these areas. Add an additional member to mm_walk_ops to indicate locking requirements for the walk. The change ensures that page walks which prevent concurrent page faults by write-locking mmap_lock, operate correctly after introduction of per-vma locks. With per-vma locks page faults can be handled under vma lock without taking mmap_lock at all, so write locking mmap_lock would not stop them. The change ensures vmas are properly locked during such walks. A sample issue this solves is do_mbind() performing queue_pages_range() to queue pages for migration. Without this change a concurrent page can be faulted into the area and be left out of migration.

smaps: use vm_normal_page_pmd() instead of follow_trans_huge_pmd()
We shouldn't be using a GUP-internal helper if it can be avoided. Similar to smaps_pte_entry() that uses vm_normal_page(), let's use vm_normal_page_pmd() that similarly refuses to return the huge zeropage. In contrast to follow_trans_huge_pmd(), vm_normal_page_pmd(): (1) Will always return the head page, not a tail page of a THP. If we'd ever call smaps_account with a tail page while setting "compound = true", we could be in trouble, because smaps_account() would look at the memmap of unrelated pages. If we're unlucky, that memmap does not exist at all. Before we removed PG_doublemap, we could have triggered something similar as in commit |

ksm: add ksm zero pages for each process
As the number of ksm zero pages is not included in ksm_merging_pages per process when enabling use_zero_pages, it's unclear of how many actual pages are merged by KSM. To let users accurately estimate their memory demands when unsharing KSM zero-pages, it's necessary to show KSM zero- pages per process. In addition, it help users to know the actual KSM profit because KSM-placed zero pages are also benefit from KSM. since unsharing zero pages placed by KSM accurately is achieved, then tracking empty pages merging and unmerging is not a difficult thing any longer. Since we already have /proc/<pid>/ksm_stat, just add the information of 'ksm_zero_pages' in it.

sysctl: Use ctl_table_size as stopping criteria for list macro
This is a preparation commit to make it easy to remove the sentinel elements (empty end markers) from the ctl_table arrays. It both allows the systematic removal of the sentinels and adds the ctl_table_size variable to the stopping criteria of the list_for_each_table_entry macro that traverses all ctl_table arrays. Once all the sentinels are removed by subsequent commits, ctl_table_size will become the only stopping criteria in the macro. We don't actually remove any elements in this commit, but it sets things up to for the removal process to take place. By adding header->ctl_table_size as an additional stopping criteria for the list_for_each_table_entry macro, it will execute until it finds an "empty" ->procname or until the size runs out. Therefore if a ctl_table array with a sentinel is passed its size will be too big (by one element) but it will stop on the sentinel. On the other hand, if the ctl_table array without a sentinel is passed its size will be just write and there will be no need for a sentinel.

This commit adds table_size to register_sysctl in preparation for the removal of the sentinel elements in the ctl_table arrays (last empty markers). And though we do *not* remove any sentinels in this commit, we set things up by either passing the table_size explicitly or using ARRAY_SIZE on the ctl_table arrays. We replace the register_syctl function with a macro that will add the ARRAY_SIZE to the new register_sysctl_sz function. In this way the callers that are already using an array of ctl_table structs do not change. For the callers that pass a ctl_table array pointer, we pass the table_size to register_sysctl_sz instead of the macro.

sysctl: Add a size arg to __register_sysctl_table
We make these changes in order to prepare __register_sysctl_table and its callers for when we remove the sentinel element (empty element at the end of ctl_table arrays). We don't actually remove any sentinels in this commit, but we *do* make sure to use ARRAY_SIZE so the table_size is available when the removal occurs. We add a table_size argument to __register_sysctl_table and adjust callers, all of which pass ctl_table pointers and need an explicit call to ARRAY_SIZE. We implement a size calculation in register_net_sysctl in order to forward the size of the array pointer received from the network register calls. The new table_size argument does not yet have any effect in the init_header call which is still dependent on the sentinel's presence. table_size *does* however drive the `kzalloc` allocation in __register_sysctl_table with no adverse effects as the allocated memory is either one element greater than the calculated ctl_table array (for the calls in ipc_sysctl.c, mq_sysctl.c and ucount.c) or the exact size of the calculated ctl_table array (for the call from sysctl_net.c and register_sysctl). This approach will allows us to "just" remove the sentinel without further changes to __register_sysctl_table as table_size will represent the exact size for all the callers at that point.

fs: pass the request_mask to generic_fillattr
generic_fillattr just fills in the entire stat struct indiscriminately today, copying data from the inode. There is at least one attribute (STATX_CHANGE_COOKIE) that can have side effects when it is reported, and we're looking at adding more with the addition of multigrain timestamps. Add a request_mask argument to generic_fillattr and have most callers just pass in the value that is passed to getattr. Have other callers (e.g. ksmbd) just pass in STATX_BASIC_STATS. Also move the setting of STATX_CHANGE_COOKIE into generic_fillattr.

fs/proc/kcore: reinstate bounce buffer for KCORE_TEXT regions
Some architectures do not populate the entire range categorised by KCORE_TEXT, so we must ensure that the kernel address we read from is valid. Unfortunately there is no solution currently available to do so with a purely iterator solution so reinstate the bounce buffer in this instance so we can use copy_from_kernel_nofault() in order to avoid page faults when regions are unmapped. This change partly reverts commit |

x86: Expose thread features in /proc/$PID/status
Applications and loaders can have logic to decide whether to enable shadow stack. They usually don't report whether shadow stack has been enabled or not, so there is no way to verify whether an application actually is protected by shadow stack. Add two lines in /proc/$PID/status to report enabled and locked features. Since, this involves referring to arch specific defines in asm/prctl.h, implement an arch breakout to emit the feature lines.

proc/vmcore: fix signedness bug in read_from_oldmem()
The bug is the error handling:
if (tmp < nr_bytes) {
"tmp" can hold negative error codes but because "nr_bytes" is type size_t
the negative error codes are treated as very high positive values
(success). Fix this by changing "nr_bytes" to type ssize_t. The
"nr_bytes" variable is used to store values between 1 and PAGE_SIZE and
they can fit in ssize_t without any issue.

proc: use generic setattr() for /proc/$PID/net
All other files in /proc/$PID/ use proc_setattr(). Not using it allows the usage of chmod() on /proc/$PID/net, even on other processes owned by the same user. The same would probably also be true for other attributes to be changed. As this technically represents an ABI change it is not marked for stable so any unlikely regressions are caught during a full release cycle. Fixes: |

mm: Introduce VM_SHADOW_STACK for shadow stack memory
New hardware extensions implement support for shadow stack memory, such as x86 Control-flow Enforcement Technology (CET). Add a new VM flag to identify these areas, for example, to be used to properly indicate shadow stack PTEs to the hardware. Shadow stack VMA creation will be tightly controlled and limited to anonymous memory to make the implementation simpler and since that is all that is required. The solution will rely on pte_mkwrite() to create the shadow stack PTEs, so it will not be required for vm_get_page_prot() to learn how to create shadow stack memory. For this reason document that VM_SHADOW_STACK should not be mixed with VM_SHARED.

asm-generic updates for 6.5
These are cleanups for architecture specific header files:
- the comments in include/linux/syscalls.h have gone out of sync
and are really pointless, so these get removed
- The asm/bitsperlong.h header no longer needs to be architecture
specific on modern compilers, so use a generic version for newer
architectures that use new enough userspace compilers
- A cleanup for virt_to_pfn/virt_to_bus to have proper type
checking, forcing the use of pointers

v6.5-rc1-sysctl-next
The changes queued up for v6.5-rc1 for sysctl are in line with prior efforts to stop usage of deprecated routines which incur recursion and also make it hard to remove the empty array element in each sysctl array declaration. The most difficult user to modify was parport which required a bit of re-thinking of how to declare shared sysctls there, Joel Granados has stepped up to the plate to do most of this work and eventual removal of register_sysctl_table(). That work ended up saving us about 1465 bytes according to bloat-o-meter. Since we gained a few bloat-o-meter karma points I moved two rather small sysctl arrays from kernel/sysctl.c leaving us only two more sysctl arrays to move left. Most changes have been tested on linux-next for about a month. The last straggler patches are a minor parport fix, changes to the sysctl kernel selftest so to verify correctness and prevent regressions for the future change he made to provide an alternative solution for the special sysctl mount point target which was using the now deprecated sysctl child element. This is all prep work to now finally be able to remove the empty array element in all sysctl declarations / registrations which is expected to save us a bit of bytes all over the kernel. That work will be tested early after v6.5-rc1 is out. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iQJGBAABCgAwFiEENnNq2KuOejlQLZofziMdCjCSiKcFAmSceh0SHG1jZ3JvZkBr ZXJuZWwub3JnAAoJEM4jHQowkoinBFQQAK9WdpcU8ODoDzoSls4jsCQpZUCfZ+ED pbCgQqUqu9VPs6bnJ+aXVa6Fh3uCr6+TIfNFM55qI/Sbo2issZ7bm0nvKmGgc6/m giqDP7btvHqiAsEootci8DVdbBXKkdH4dx3pSwleyN8pdinewH0hrKImaPpahyo6 1mB1du0iI89yjsZmheHVVSyfXXYAnP0PqRVy5Y+qxY7yYlIegQ5uAZmwRE62lfTf TuiV7OFuDZ2DBYOmqIhfGKGRnfOL5ZVF3iHCrfUpX3p+fEFzDmwvm3vr73PTSrFw /aRRLa/hOWr5ilw1bvnMcazgQzFEOlQb3DMhBKH7gLl3XHVrM+TaaqYHjUia1+6Y e2axz/duA2q9uLMW81daRApvHMCgy0exkpC7prfOxF5bgTe4TjA7ZWvGpqG1kPKT PPSxw80XvG5hLZm4tB0ZWJ5rOfFpiUGGneSeRQwyuClBt73SIO+F03jyGpt83slU jFE50ac14Zwh1oxpCQtYoR1+bXWdq1QwM5vQBNEuaoTSnJfVjrXqBz/BnqJChtjr m1vA27+4/dfki2P3gVWF1lGx43ir3uJvqk+BjWXm2CDDJqpRi3N0qcUwZwLuqAAz /LEgFqK61bpHi/C8c2NWAxIoeWRU4NUOaoiKmZwyt0sKAWU1Yzg70xssYeg7VYqZ 3pvFNVBqkV+F =sXUU -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- Merge tag 'v6.5-rc1-sysctl-next' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/mcgrof/linux Pull sysctl updates from Luis Chamberlain: "The changes for sysctl are in line with prior efforts to stop usage of deprecated routines which incur recursion and also make it hard to remove the empty array element in each sysctl array declaration.

mm: ptep_get() conversion
Convert all instances of direct pte_t* dereferencing to instead use ptep_get() helper. This means that by default, the accesses change from a C dereference to a READ_ONCE(). This is technically the correct thing to do since where pgtables are modified by HW (for access/dirty) they are volatile and therefore we should always ensure READ_ONCE() semantics. But more importantly, by always using the helper, it can be overridden by the architecture to fully encapsulate the contents of the pte. Arch code is deliberately not converted, as the arch code knows best. It is intended that arch code (arm64) will override the default with its own implementation that can (e.g.) hide certain bits from the core code, or determine young/dirty status by mixing in state from another source. Conversion was done using Coccinelle: ---- // $ make coccicheck \ // COCCI=ptepget.cocci \ // SPFLAGS="--include-headers" \ // MODE=patch virtual patch @ depends on patch @ pte_t *v; @@ - *v + ptep_get(v) ---- Then reviewed and hand-edited to avoid multiple unnecessary calls to ptep_get(), instead opting to store the result of a single call in a variable, where it is correct to do so. This aims to negate any cost of READ_ONCE() and will benefit arch-overrides that may be more complex. Included is a fix for an issue in an earlier version of this patch that was pointed out by kernel test robot. The issue arose because config MMU=n elides definition of the ptep helper functions, including ptep_get(). HUGETLB_PAGE=n configs still define a simple huge_ptep_clear_flush() for linking purposes, which dereferences the ptep. So when both configs are disabled, this caused a build error because ptep_get() is not defined. Fix by continuing to do a direct dereference when MMU=n. This is safe because for this config the arch code cannot be trying to virtualize the ptes because none of the ptep helpers are defined.

mm/pagewalkers: ACTION_AGAIN if pte_offset_map_lock() fails
Simple walk_page_range() users should set ACTION_AGAIN to retry when pte_offset_map_lock() fails. No need to check pmd_trans_unstable(): that was precisely to avoid the possiblity of calling pte_offset_map() on a racily removed or inserted THP entry, but such cases are now safely handled inside it. Likewise there is no need to check pmd_none() or pmd_bad() before calling it.

sysctl: replace child with an enumeration
This is part of the effort to remove the empty element at the end of ctl_table structs. "child" was a deprecated elem in this struct and was being used to differentiate between two types of ctl_tables: "normal" and "permanently emtpy". What changed?: * Replace "child" with an enumeration that will have two values: the default (0) and the permanently empty (1). The latter is left at zero so when struct ctl_table is created with kzalloc or in a local context, it will have the zero value by default. We document the new enum with kdoc. * Remove the "empty child" check from sysctl_check_table * Remove count_subheaders function as there is no longer a need to calculate how many headers there are for every child * Remove the recursive call to unregister_sysctl_table as there is no need to traverse down the child tree any longer * Add a new SYSCTL_PERM_EMPTY_DIR binary flag * Remove the last remanence of child from partport/procfs.c Signed-off-by: Joel Granados <j.granados@samsung.com> Signed-off-by: Luis Chamberlain <mcgrof@kernel.org> |

procfs: replace all non-returning strlcpy with strscpy
strlcpy() reads the entire source buffer first. This read may exceed the destination size limit. This is both inefficient and can lead to linear read overflows if a source string is not NUL-terminated [1]. In an effort to remove strlcpy() completely [2], replace strlcpy() here with strscpy(). No return values were used, so direct replacement is safe.

mm: pagemap: restrict pagewalk to the requested range
The pagewalk in pagemap_read reads one PTE past the end of the requested range, and stops when the buffer runs out of space. While it produces the right result, the extra read is unnecessary and less performant.

mm: Add support for unaccepted memory
UEFI Specification version 2.9 introduces the concept of memory
acceptance. Some Virtual Machine platforms, such as Intel TDX or AMD
SEV-SNP, require memory to be accepted before it can be used by the
guest. Accepting happens via a protocol specific to the Virtual Machine
platform.
There are several ways the kernel can deal with unaccepted memory:
1. Accept all the memory during boot. It is easy to implement and it
doesn't have runtime cost once the system is booted. The downside is
very long boot time.
Accept can be parallelized to multiple CPUs to keep it manageable
(i.e. via DEFERRED_STRUCT_PAGE_INIT), but it tends to saturate
memory bandwidth and does not scale beyond the point.
2. Accept a block of memory on the first use. It requires more
infrastructure and changes in page allocator to make it work, but
it provides good boot time.
On-demand memory accept means latency spikes every time kernel steps
onto a new memory block. The spikes will go away once workload data
set size gets stabilized or all memory gets accepted.
3. Accept all memory in background. Introduce a thread (or multiple)
that gets memory accepted proactively. It will minimize time the
system experience latency spikes on memory allocation while keeping
low boot time.
This approach cannot function on its own. It is an extension of #2:
background memory acceptance requires functional scheduler, but the
page allocator may need to tap into unaccepted memory before that.
The downside of the approach is that these threads also steal CPU
cycles and memory bandwidth from the user's workload and may hurt
user experience.
Implement #1 and #2 for now. #2 is the default. Some workloads may want
to use #1 with accept_memory=eager in kernel command line. #3 can be
implemented later based on user's demands.
Support of unaccepted memory requires a few changes in core-mm code:
- memblock accepts memory on allocation. It serves early boot memory
allocations and doesn't limit them to pre-accepted pool of memory.
- page allocator accepts memory on the first allocation of the page.
When kernel runs out of accepted memory, it accepts memory until the
high watermark is reached. It helps to minimize fragmentation.
EFI code will provide two helpers if the platform supports unaccepted
memory:
- accept_memory() makes a range of physical addresses accepted.
- range_contains_unaccepted_memory() checks anything within the range
of physical addresses requires acceptance.
