workqueue: Changes for v6.6
* Unbound workqueues now support more flexible affinity scopes. The default behavior is to soft-affine according to last level cache boundaries. A work item queued from a given LLC is executed by a worker running on the same LLC but the worker may be moved across cache boundaries as the scheduler sees fit. On machines which multiple L3 caches, which are becoming more popular along with chiplet designs, this improves cache locality while not harming work conservation too much. Unbound workqueues are now also a lot more flexible in terms of execution affinity. Differeing levels of affinity scopes are supported and both the default and per-workqueue affinity settings can be modified dynamically. This should help working around amny of sub-optimal behaviors observed recently with asymmetric ARM CPUs. This involved signficant restructuring of workqueue code. Nothing was reported yet but there's some risk of subtle regressions. Should keep an eye out. * Rescuer workers now has more identifiable comms. * workqueue.unbound_cpus added so that CPUs which can be used by workqueue can be constrained early during boot. * Now that all the in-tree users have been flushed out, trigger warning if system-wide workqueues are flushed. * One pull commit from for-6.5-fixes to avoid cascading conflicts in the affinity scope patchset. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iIQEABYIACwWIQTfIjM1kS57o3GsC/uxYfJx3gVYGQUCZPERlQ4cdGpAa2VybmVs Lm9yZwAKCRCxYfJx3gVYGVqQAPwIOy9tWY5jFAmMuIyH6wV50hbmfxCc2n5xhQNr 5HoyGgEA8lw1W7afDCIPiQVA7AYsu8dhwuNSOcRCJxhrrn4XsA0= =g/Uu -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- Merge tag 'wq-for-6.6' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tj/wq Pull workqueue updates from Tejun Heo: - Unbound workqueues now support more flexible affinity scopes.

Documentation work keeps chugging along; stuff for 6.6 includes:
- Work from Carlos Bilbao to integrate rustdoc output into the generated HTML documentation. This took some work to figure out how to do it without slowing the docs build and without creating people who don't have Rust installed, but Carlos got there. - Move the loongarch and mips architecture documentation under Documentation/arch/. - Some more maintainer documentation from Jakub ...plus the usual assortment of updates, translations, and fixes. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iQFDBAABCAAtFiEEIw+MvkEiF49krdp9F0NaE2wMflgFAmTvqNkPHGNvcmJldEBs d24ubmV0AAoJEBdDWhNsDH5YgIgH/3drfLtlFtzLqDOzrzDXS8yGnE3pPdxw796b /ZFzAK16wYKaKevYoIz8bVGGKaE1sEUW0mhlq4KGdfZuxLG8YnWS8URyCW4FDU2E 6qNL+8oJ8LZfID46f9Q8ZgfEz7yF/mhCqPk7MEswYtwbscs2ZTGCTGYB/5BHlBuT LR+M89uLmHgr8S1o24v30OgiX+VvQFyu0xoxIhbiqUZvBd/XdfX2pgYd9BGzMj5q C2ZP+V14g36c5pV0EO9TwhCXOF/WVrp7DbjbfWAsqBSLxvpXPydH2q1DUzGeQtP1 exujrBD1O8q3pPdaNA5R+h6cWlHmUZug9mE4BRLp9ErGrozwJsQ= =C3Uv -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- Merge tag 'docs-6.6' of git://git.lwn.net/linux Pull documentation updates from Jonathan Corbet: "Documentation work keeps chugging along; this includes: - Work from Carlos Bilbao to integrate rustdoc output into the generated HTML documentation.

sound updates for 6.6-rc1
We've received a fairly wide range of changes at this time, including for ALSA and ASoC core, but all of them are rather small changes. Here are some highlights: ALSA / ASoC Core: - Fixes of inconsistent locking around control API helpers - A few new control API functions and cleanups - Workarounds for potential UAFs by delayed kobj releases - Unified PCM copy ops with iov_iter - Continued efforts for ASoC API cleanups ASoC: - An adaptor to allow use of IIO DACs and ADCs in ASoC which pulls in some IIO changes - Create a library function for intlog10() and use it in the NAU8825 driver - Convert drivers to use the more modern maple tree register cache - Lots of work on the SOF framework, AMD and Intel drivers, including a lot of cleanup and new device support - Standardization of the presentation of jacks from drivers - Provision of some generic sound card DT properties - Support for AMD Van Gogh, AMD machines with MAX98388 and NAU8821, AWInic AW88261, Cirrus Logic CS35L36 and CS42L43, various Intel platforms including AVS machines with ES8336 and RT5663, Mediatek MT7986, NXP i.MX93, RealTek RT1017 and StarFive JH7110 Others: - New test coverage including ASoC and topology tests in KUnit; this also involves enabling UML builds of ALSA since that's the default KUnit test environment which pulls in the addition of some stubs to the driver - More enhancement of pcmtest driver - A few fixes / enhancements of MIDI 2.0 UMP core - Using PCI definitions in allover HD-audio code - Support for Cirrus CS35L56 and TI TAS2781 HD-audio sub-codecs - CS35L41 HD-audio sub-codec improvements - Continued emu10k1 improvements -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iQJCBAABCAAsFiEEIXTw5fNLNI7mMiVaLtJE4w1nLE8FAmTvJ1oOHHRpd2FpQHN1 c2UuZGUACgkQLtJE4w1nLE8/3w//XgX9aEmlr7ZD2s6sOolfYMFajq/mOBaFkw53 iDZOJs+jQNmx/BfVlaio8/hinkV8lUrjjPiBVwF6AWy3a2V9RmgqYtYvhlWIj2jW 95eqUFtpGq4pR2KM9kEfHsZEZO+LynpF3nQ0Zy1ShNZQv5H5SQ1Hi2N1btTkRq2y HcHGc7bosoBYPCiF5gm/u93h/u1oW7E1IEoxEjYDySvmvapQ6SiYQYX6jLRRda9T PxCz1sMerkglqFif2OVWB7MJQ4C1xQlVElVItKIxHwjvbwP0bmg32qY5+qI9M8vw 2VpDk1oXKBqFrdy5zDXL+zIj5WQ9BD2HFvfhiodfNNiI/eyTg/cVn1HysZ3CD0lh JU1j0pL7lwJkcgexEZqXqmshTGz0QrsJZQqa2WIHyl74xmwydxytzSdM/cEtPwt5 fo1/H6gfDHBZj4JzkZZs8/aGj0rnzlasHds6kROzN73D7dMx3SNTP9sotEksyAJ/ 8EY2JFrD1rYSOuArFLYdLK8FDlbpICAGRMjnuosglGJxOzyh5faCtijTu3LhhBfh QuIus+Q+mc454LZUPaoRPBiUqAp296YqsJGNv1v02s/BLNy4HGDWgQ5j6GUvi6Ew 0lTaOtjXscC6e091OG9LFShUFd4YAEetWdlAHwcMJbcoeubteZqz75YHvq7erzA8 rVOxUmM= =Rr0i -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- Merge tag 'sound-6.6-rc1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tiwai/sound Pull sound updates from Takashi Iwai: "We've received a fairly wide range of changes at this time, including for ALSA and ASoC core, but all of them are rather small changes.

crash: memory and CPU hotplug sysfs attributes
Introduce the crash_hotplug attribute for memory and CPUs for use by userspace. These attributes directly facilitate the udev rule for managing userspace re-loading of the crash kernel upon hot un/plug changes. For memory, expose the crash_hotplug attribute to the /sys/devices/system/memory directory. For example: # udevadm info --attribute-walk /sys/devices/system/memory/memory81 looking at device '/devices/system/memory/memory81': KERNEL=="memory81" SUBSYSTEM=="memory" DRIVER=="" ATTR{online}=="1" ATTR{phys_device}=="0" ATTR{phys_index}=="00000051" ATTR{removable}=="1" ATTR{state}=="online" ATTR{valid_zones}=="Movable" looking at parent device '/devices/system/memory': KERNELS=="memory" SUBSYSTEMS=="" DRIVERS=="" ATTRS{auto_online_blocks}=="offline" ATTRS{block_size_bytes}=="8000000" ATTRS{crash_hotplug}=="1" For CPUs, expose the crash_hotplug attribute to the /sys/devices/system/cpu directory. For example: # udevadm info --attribute-walk /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0 looking at device '/devices/system/cpu/cpu0': KERNEL=="cpu0" SUBSYSTEM=="cpu" DRIVER=="processor" ATTR{crash_notes}=="277c38600" ATTR{crash_notes_size}=="368" ATTR{online}=="1" looking at parent device '/devices/system/cpu': KERNELS=="cpu" SUBSYSTEMS=="" DRIVERS=="" ATTRS{crash_hotplug}=="1" ATTRS{isolated}=="" ATTRS{kernel_max}=="8191" ATTRS{nohz_full}==" (null)" ATTRS{offline}=="4-7" ATTRS{online}=="0-3" ATTRS{possible}=="0-7" ATTRS{present}=="0-3" With these sysfs attributes in place, it is possible to efficiently instruct the udev rule to skip crash kernel reloading for kernels configured with crash hotplug support. For example, the following is the proposed udev rule change for RHEL system 98-kexec.rules (as the first lines of the rule file): # The kernel updates the crash elfcorehdr for CPU and memory changes SUBSYSTEM=="cpu", ATTRS{crash_hotplug}=="1", GOTO="kdump_reload_end" SUBSYSTEM=="memory", ATTRS{crash_hotplug}=="1", GOTO="kdump_reload_end" When examined in the context of 98-kexec.rules, the above rules test if crash_hotplug is set, and if so, the userspace initiated unload-then-reload of the crash kernel is skipped. CPU and memory checks are separated in accordance with CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU and CONFIG_MEMORY_HOTPLUG kernel config options. If an architecture supports, for example, memory hotplug but not CPU hotplug, then the /sys/devices/system/memory/crash_hotplug attribute file is present, but the /sys/devices/system/cpu/crash_hotplug attribute file will NOT be present. Thus the udev rule skips userspace processing of memory hot un/plug events, but the udev rule will evaluate false for CPU events, thus allowing userspace to process CPU hot un/plug events (ie the unload-then-reload of the kdump capture kernel).

mm: add orphaned kernel-doc to the rst files.
There are many files in mm/ that contain kernel-doc which is not currently published on kernel.org. Some of it is easily categorisable, but most of it is going into the miscellaneous documentation section to be organised later. Some files aren't ready to be included; they contain documentation with build errors. Or they're nommu.c which duplicates documentation from "real" MMU systems. Those files are noted with a # mark (although really anything which isn't a recognised directive would do to prevent inclusion) Link: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20230818200630.2719595-5-willy@infradead.org Signed-off-by: Matthew Wilcox (Oracle) <willy@infradead.org> Acked-by: Mike Rapoport (IBM) <rppt@kernel.org> Cc: Randy Dunlap <rdunlap@infradead.org> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> |

workqueue: Add "Affinity Scopes and Performance" section to documentation
With affinity scopes and their strictness setting added, unbound workqueues should now be able to cover wide variety of configurations and use cases. Unfortunately, the performance picture is not entirely straight-forward due to a trade-off between efficiency and work-conservation in some situations necessitating manual configuration. This patch adds "Affinity Scopes and Performance" section to Documentation/core-api/workqueue.rst which illustrates the trade-off with a set of experiments and provides some guidelines.

workqueue: Implement non-strict affinity scope for unbound workqueues
An unbound workqueue can be served by multiple worker_pools to improve locality. The segmentation is achieved by grouping CPUs into pods. By default, the cache boundaries according to cpus_share_cache() define the CPUs are grouped. Let's a workqueue is allowed to run on all CPUs and the system has two L3 caches. The workqueue would be mapped to two worker_pools each serving one L3 cache domains. While this improves locality, because the pod boundaries are strict, it limits the total bandwidth a given issuer can consume. For example, let's say there is a thread pinned to a CPU issuing enough work items to saturate the whole machine. With the machine segmented into two pods, no matter how many work items it issues, it can only use half of the CPUs on the system. While this limitation has existed for a very long time, it wasn't very pronounced because the affinity grouping used to be always by NUMA nodes. With cache boundaries as the default and support for even finer grained scopes (smt and cpu), it is now an a lot more pressing problem. This patch implements non-strict affinity scope where the pod boundaries aren't enforced strictly. Going back to the previous example, the workqueue would still be mapped to two worker_pools; however, the affinity enforcement would be soft. The workers in both pools would have their cpus_allowed set to the whole machine thus allowing the scheduler to migrate them anywhere on the machine. However, whenever an idle worker is woken up, the workqueue code asks the scheduler to bring back the task within the pod if the worker is outside. ie. work items start executing within its affinity scope but can be migrated outside as the scheduler sees fit. This removes the hard cap on utilization while maintaining the benefits of affinity scopes. After the earlier ->__pod_cpumask changes, the implementation is pretty simple. When non-strict which is the new default: * pool_allowed_cpus() returns @pool->attrs->cpumask instead of ->__pod_cpumask so that the workers are allowed to run on any CPU that the associated workqueues allow. * If the idle worker task's ->wake_cpu is outside the pod, kick_pool() sets the field to a CPU within the pod. This would be the first use of task_struct->wake_cpu outside scheduler proper, so it isn't clear whether this would be acceptable. However, other methods of migrating tasks are significantly more expensive and are likely prohibitively so if we want to do this on every work item. This needs discussion with scheduler folks. There is also a race window where setting ->wake_cpu wouldn't be effective as the target task is still on CPU. However, the window is pretty small and this being a best-effort optimization, it doesn't seem to warrant more complexity at the moment. While the non-strict cache affinity scopes seem to be the best option, the performance picture interacts with the affinity scope and is a bit complicated to fully discuss in this patch, so the behavior is made easily selectable through wqattrs and sysfs and the next patch will add documentation to discuss performance implications. v2: pool->attrs->affn_strict is set to true for per-cpu worker_pools.

workqueue: Add multiple affinity scopes and interface to select them
Add three more affinity scopes - WQ_AFFN_CPU, SMT and CACHE - and make CACHE the default. The code changes to actually add the additional scopes are trivial. Also add module parameter "workqueue.default_affinity_scope" to override the default scope and "affinity_scope" sysfs file to configure it per workqueue. wq_dump.py and documentations are updated accordingly. This enables significant flexibility in configuring how unbound workqueues behave. If affinity scope is set to "cpu", it'll behave close to a per-cpu workqueue. On the other hand, "system" removes all locality boundaries. Many modern machines have multiple L3 caches often while being mostly uniform in terms of memory access. Thus, workqueue's previous behavior of spreading work items in each NUMA node had negative performance implications from unncessarily crossing L3 boundaries between issue and execution. However, picking a finer grained affinity scope also has a downside in that an issuer in one group can't utilize CPUs in other groups. While dependent on the specifics of workload, there's usually a noticeable penalty in crossing L3 boundaries, so let's default to CACHE. This issue will be further addressed and documented with examples in future patches. Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org> |

workqueue: Add tools/workqueue/wq_dump.py which prints out workqueue configuration
Lack of visibility has always been a pain point for workqueues. While the recently added wq_monitor.py improved the situation, it's still difficult to understand what worker pools are active in the system, how workqueues map to them and why. The lack of visibility into how workqueues are configured is going to become more noticeable as workqueue improves locality awareness and provides more mechanisms to customize locality related behaviors. Now that the basic framework for more flexible locality support is in place, this is a good time to improve the situation. This patch adds tools/workqueues/wq_dump.py which prints out the topology configuration, worker pools and how workqueues are mapped to pools. Read the command's help message for more details.

workqueue: Make unbound workqueues to use per-cpu pool_workqueues
A pwq (pool_workqueue) represents an association between a workqueue and a worker_pool. When a work item is queued, the workqueue selects the pwq to use, which in turn determines the pool, and queues the work item to the pool through the pwq. pwq is also what implements the maximum concurrency limit - @max_active. As a per-cpu workqueue should be assocaited with a different worker_pool on each CPU, it always had per-cpu pwq's that are accessed through wq->cpu_pwq. However, unbound workqueues were sharing a pwq within each NUMA node by default. The sharing has several downsides: * Because @max_active is per-pwq, the meaning of @max_active changes depending on the machine configuration and whether workqueue NUMA locality support is enabled. * Makes per-cpu and unbound code deviate. * Gets in the way of making workqueue CPU locality awareness more flexible. This patch makes unbound workqueues use per-cpu pwq's the same way per-cpu workqueues do by making the following changes: * wq->numa_pwq_tbl[] is removed and unbound workqueues now use wq->cpu_pwq just like per-cpu workqueues. wq->cpu_pwq is now RCU protected for unbound workqueues. * numa_pwq_tbl_install() is renamed to install_unbound_pwq() and installs the specified pwq to the target CPU's wq->cpu_pwq. * apply_wqattrs_prepare() now always allocates a separate pwq for each CPU unless the workqueue is ordered. If ordered, all CPUs use wq->dfl_pwq. This makes the return value of wq_calc_node_cpumask() unnecessary. It now returns void. * @max_active now means the same thing for both per-cpu and unbound workqueues. WQ_UNBOUND_MAX_ACTIVE now equals WQ_MAX_ACTIVE and documentation is updated accordingly. WQ_UNBOUND_MAX_ACTIVE is no longer used in workqueue implementation and will be removed later. * All unbound pwq operations which used to be per-numa-node are now per-cpu. For most unbound workqueue users, this shouldn't cause noticeable changes. Work item issue and completion will be a small bit faster, flush_workqueue() would become a bit more expensive, and the total concurrency limit would likely become higher. All @max_active==1 use cases are currently being audited for conversion into alloc_ordered_workqueue() and they shouldn't be affected once the audit and conversion is complete. One area where the behavior change may be more noticeable is workqueue_congested() as the reported congestion state is now per CPU instead of NUMA node. There are only two users of this interface - drivers/infiniband/hw/hfi1 and net/smc. Maintainers of both subsystems are cc'd. Inputs on the behavior change would be very much appreciated.

A large update for SMP management:
- Parallel CPU bringup The reason why people are interested in parallel bringup is to shorten the (kexec) reboot time of cloud servers to reduce the downtime of the VM tenants. The current fully serialized bringup does the following per AP: 1) Prepare callbacks (allocate, intialize, create threads) 2) Kick the AP alive (e.g. INIT/SIPI on x86) 3) Wait for the AP to report alive state 4) Let the AP continue through the atomic bringup 5) Let the AP run the threaded bringup to full online state There are two significant delays: #3 The time for an AP to report alive state in start_secondary() on x86 has been measured in the range between 350us and 3.5ms depending on vendor and CPU type, BIOS microcode size etc. #4 The atomic bringup does the microcode update. This has been measured to take up to ~8ms on the primary threads depending on the microcode patch size to apply. On a two socket SKL server with 56 cores (112 threads) the boot CPU spends on current mainline about 800ms busy waiting for the APs to come up and apply microcode. That's more than 80% of the actual onlining procedure. This can be reduced significantly by splitting the bringup mechanism into two parts: 1) Run the prepare callbacks and kick the AP alive for each AP which needs to be brought up. The APs wake up, do their firmware initialization and run the low level kernel startup code including microcode loading in parallel up to the first synchronization point. (#1 and #2 above) 2) Run the rest of the bringup code strictly serialized per CPU (#3 - #5 above) as it's done today. Parallelizing that stage of the CPU bringup might be possible in theory, but it's questionable whether required surgery would be justified for a pretty small gain. If the system is large enough the first AP is already waiting at the first synchronization point when the boot CPU finished the wake-up of the last AP. That reduces the AP bringup time on that SKL from ~800ms to ~80ms, i.e. by a factor ~10x. The actual gain varies wildly depending on the system, CPU, microcode patch size and other factors. There are some opportunities to reduce the overhead further, but that needs some deep surgery in the x86 CPU bringup code.

The current fully serialized bringup does the following per AP: 1) Prepare callbacks (allocate, intialize, create threads) 2) Kick the AP alive (e.g. INIT/SIPI on x86) 3) Wait for the AP to report alive state 4) Let the AP continue through the atomic bringup 5) Let the AP run the threaded bringup to full online state There are two significant delays: #3 The time for an AP to report alive state in start_secondary() on x86 has been measured in the range between 350us and 3.5ms depending on vendor and CPU type, BIOS microcode size etc. #4 The atomic bringup does the microcode update. This has been measured to take up to ~8ms on the primary threads depending on the microcode patch size to apply. On a two socket SKL server with 56 cores (112 threads) the boot CPU spends on current mainline about 800ms busy waiting for the APs to come up and apply microcode. That's more than 80% of the actual onlining procedure. This can be reduced significantly by splitting the bringup mechanism into two parts: 1) Run the prepare callbacks and kick the AP alive for each AP which needs to be brought up. The APs wake up, do their firmware initialization and run the low level kernel startup code including microcode loading in parallel up to the first synchronization point. (#1 and #2 above) 2) Run the rest of the bringup code strictly serialized per CPU (#3 - #5 above) as it's done today. Parallelizing that stage of the CPU bringup might be possible in theory, but it's questionable whether required surgery would be justified for a pretty small gain. If the system is large enough the first AP is already waiting at the first synchronization point when the boot CPU finished the wake-up of the last AP. That reduces the AP bringup time on that SKL from ~800ms to ~80ms, i.e. by a factor ~10x. The actual gain varies wildly depending on the system, CPU, microcode patch size and other factors. There are some opportunities to reduce the overhead further, but that needs some deep surgery in the x86 CPU bringup code.

workqueue: Track and monitor per-workqueue CPU time usage
Now that wq_worker_tick() is there, we can easily track the rough CPU time consumption of each workqueue by charging the whole tick whenever a tick hits an active workqueue. While not super accurate, it provides reasonable visibility into the workqueues that consume a lot of CPU cycles. wq_monitor.py is updated to report the per-workqueue CPU times. v2: wq_monitor.py was using "cputime" as the key when outputting in json format. Use "cpu_time" instead for consistency with other fields. Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org> |

workqueue: Automatically mark CPU-hogging work items CPU_INTENSIVE
If a per-cpu work item hogs the CPU, it can prevent other work items from starting through concurrency management. A per-cpu workqueue which intends to host such CPU-hogging work items can choose to not participate in concurrency management by setting %WQ_CPU_INTENSIVE; however, this can be error-prone and difficult to debug when missed. This patch adds an automatic CPU usage based detection. If a concurrency-managed work item consumes more CPU time than the threshold (10ms by default) continuously without intervening sleeps, wq_worker_tick() which is called from scheduler_tick() will detect the condition and automatically mark it CPU_INTENSIVE. The mechanism isn't foolproof: * Detection depends on tick hitting the work item. Getting preempted at the right timings may allow a violating work item to evade detection at least temporarily. * nohz_full CPUs may not be running ticks and thus can fail detection. * Even when detection is working, the 10ms detection delays can add up if many CPU-hogging work items are queued at the same time. However, in vast majority of cases, this should be able to detect violations reliably and provide reasonable protection with a small increase in code complexity. If some work items trigger this condition repeatedly, the bigger problem likely is the CPU being saturated with such per-cpu work items and the solution would be making them UNBOUND. The next patch will add a debug mechanism to help spot such cases. v4: Documentation for workqueue.cpu_intensive_thresh_us added to kernel-parameters.txt. v3: Switch to use wq_worker_tick() instead of hooking into preemptions as suggested by Peter. v2: Lai pointed out that wq_worker_stopping() also needs to be called from preemption and rtlock paths and an earlier patch was updated accordingly. This patch adds a comment describing the risk of infinte recursions and how they're avoided.

workqueue: Add pwq->stats[] and a monitoring script
Currently, the only way to peer into workqueue operations is through tracing. While possible, it isn't easy or convenient to monitor per-workqueue behaviors over time this way. Let's add pwq->stats[] that track relevant events and a drgn monitoring script - tools/workqueue/wq_monitor.py. It's arguable whether this needs to be configurable. However, it currently only has several counters and the runtime overhead shouldn't be noticeable given that they're on pwq's which are per-cpu on per-cpu workqueues and per-numa-node on unbound ones. Let's keep it simple for the time being. v2: Patch reordered to earlier with fewer fields. Field will be added back gradually. Help message improved.

modules-6.4-rc1
The summary of the changes for this pull requests is: * Song Liu's new struct module_memory replacement * Nick Alcock's MODULE_LICENSE() removal for non-modules * My cleanups and enhancements to reduce the areas where we vmalloc module memory for duplicates, and the respective debug code which proves the remaining vmalloc pressure comes from userspace. Most of the changes have been in linux-next for quite some time except the minor fixes I made to check if a module was already loaded prior to allocating the final module memory with vmalloc and the respective debug code it introduces to help clarify the issue. Although the functional change is small it is rather safe as it can only *help* reduce vmalloc space for duplicates and is confirmed to fix a bootup issue with over 400 CPUs with KASAN enabled. I don't expect stable kernels to pick up that fix as the cleanups would have also had to have been picked up. Folks on larger CPU systems with modules will want to just upgrade if vmalloc space has been an issue on bootup. Given the size of this request, here's some more elaborate details on this pull request. The functional change change in this pull request is the very first patch from Song Liu which replaces the struct module_layout with a new struct module memory. The old data structure tried to put together all types of supported module memory types in one data structure, the new one abstracts the differences in memory types in a module to allow each one to provide their own set of details. This paves the way in the future so we can deal with them in a cleaner way. If you look at changes they also provide a nice cleanup of how we handle these different memory areas in a module. This change has been in linux-next since before the merge window opened for v6.3 so to provide more than a full kernel cycle of testing. It's a good thing as quite a bit of fixes have been found for it. Jason Baron then made dynamic debug a first class citizen module user by using module notifier callbacks to allocate / remove module specific dynamic debug information. Nick Alcock has done quite a bit of work cross-tree to remove module license tags from things which cannot possibly be module at my request so to: a) help him with his longer term tooling goals which require a deterministic evaluation if a piece a symbol code could ever be part of a module or not. But quite recently it is has been made clear that tooling is not the only one that would benefit. Disambiguating symbols also helps efforts such as live patching, kprobes and BPF, but for other reasons and R&D on this area is active with no clear solution in sight. b) help us inch closer to the now generally accepted long term goal of automating all the MODULE_LICENSE() tags from SPDX license tags In so far as a) is concerned, although module license tags are a no-op for non-modules, tools which would want create a mapping of possible modules can only rely on the module license tag after the commit |

module: add debug stats to help identify memory pressure
Loading modules with finit_module() can end up using vmalloc(), vmap() and vmalloc() again, for a total of up to 3 separate allocations in the worst case for a single module. We always kernel_read*() the module, that's a vmalloc(). Then vmap() is used for the module decompression, and if so the last read buffer is freed as we use the now decompressed module buffer to stuff data into our copy module. The last allocation is specific to each architectures but pretty much that's generally a series of vmalloc() calls or a variation of vmalloc to handle ELF sections with special permissions. Evaluation with new stress-ng module support [1] with just 100 ops is proving that you can end up using GiBs of data easily even with all care we have in the kernel and userspace today in trying to not load modules which are already loaded. 100 ops seems to resemble the sort of pressure a system with about 400 CPUs can create on module loading. Although issues relating to duplicate module requests due to each CPU inucurring a new module reuest is silly and some of these are being fixed, we currently lack proper tooling to help diagnose easily what happened, when it happened and who likely is to blame -- userspace or kernel module autoloading. Provide an initial set of stats which use debugfs to let us easily scrape post-boot information about failed loads. This sort of information can be used on production worklaods to try to optimize *avoiding* redundant memory pressure using finit_module(). There's a few examples that can be provided: A 255 vCPU system without the next patch in this series applied: Startup finished in 19.143s (kernel) + 7.078s (userspace) = 26.221s graphical.target reached after 6.988s in userspace And 13.58 GiB of virtual memory space lost due to failed module loading: root@big ~ # cat /sys/kernel/debug/modules/stats Mods ever loaded 67 Mods failed on kread 0 Mods failed on decompress 0 Mods failed on becoming 0 Mods failed on load 1411 Total module size 11464704 Total mod text size 4194304 Failed kread bytes 0 Failed decompress bytes 0 Failed becoming bytes 0 Failed kmod bytes 14588526272 Virtual mem wasted bytes 14588526272 Average mod size 171115 Average mod text size 62602 Average fail load bytes 10339140 Duplicate failed modules: module-name How-many-times Reason kvm_intel 249 Load kvm 249 Load irqbypass 8 Load crct10dif_pclmul 128 Load ghash_clmulni_intel 27 Load sha512_ssse3 50 Load sha512_generic 200 Load aesni_intel 249 Load crypto_simd 41 Load cryptd 131 Load evdev 2 Load serio_raw 1 Load virtio_pci 3 Load nvme 3 Load nvme_core 3 Load virtio_pci_legacy_dev 3 Load virtio_pci_modern_dev 3 Load t10_pi 3 Load virtio 3 Load crc32_pclmul 6 Load crc64_rocksoft 3 Load crc32c_intel 40 Load virtio_ring 3 Load crc64 3 Load The following screen shot, of a simple 8vcpu 8 GiB KVM guest with the next patch in this series applied, shows 226.53 MiB are wasted in virtual memory allocations which due to duplicate module requests during boot. It also shows an average module memory size of 167.10 KiB and an an average module .text + .init.text size of 61.13 KiB. The end shows all modules which were detected as duplicate requests and whether or not they failed early after just the first kernel_read*() call or late after we've already allocated the private space for the module in layout_and_allocate(). A system with module decompression would reveal more wasted virtual memory space. We should put effort now into identifying the source of these duplicate module requests and trimming these down as much possible.

docs: move x86 documentation into Documentation/arch/
Move the x86 documentation under Documentation/arch/ as a way of cleaning up the top-level directory and making the structure of our docs more closely match the structure of the source directories it describes. All in-kernel references to the old paths have been updated.

mm/slab: document kfree() as allowed for kmem_cache_alloc() objects
This will make it easier to free objects in situations when they can come from either kmalloc() or kmem_cache_alloc(), and also allow kfree_rcu() for freeing objects from kmem_cache_alloc(). For the SLAB and SLUB allocators this was always possible so with SLOB gone, we can document it as supported.

mm, printk: introduce new format %pGt for page_type
%pGp format is used to display 'flags' field of a struct page. However, some page flags (i.e. PG_buddy, see page-flags.h for more details) are stored in page_type field. To display human-readable output of page_type, introduce %pGt format. It is important to note the meaning of bits are different in page_type. if page_type is 0xffffffff, no flags are set. Setting PG_buddy (0x00000080) flag results in a page_type of 0xffffff7f. Clearing a bit actually means setting a flag. Bits in page_type are inverted when displaying type names. Only values for which page_type_has_type() returns true are considered as page_type, to avoid confusion with mapcount values. if it returns false, only raw values are displayed and not page type names.
