By splitting CRASH_RESERVE and VMCORE_INFO out from CRASH_CORE, cleaning
up the dependency of FA_DMUMP on CRASH_DUMP, and moving crash codes from
kexec_core.c to crash_core.c, now we can rearrange CRASH_DUMP to
depend on KEXEC_CORE, and make CRASH_DUMP select CRASH_RESERVE and
VMCORE_INFO.
KEXEC_CORE won't select CRASH_RESERVE and VMCORE_INFO any more because
KEXEC_CORE enables codes which allocate control pages, copy
kexec/kdump segments, and prepare for switching. These codes are shared
by both kexec reboot and crash dumping.
Doing this makes codes and the corresponding config items more
logical (the right item depends on or is selected by the left item).

Currently, KEXEC_CORE select CRASH_CORE automatically because crash codes
need be built in to avoid compiling error when building kexec code even
though the crash dumping functionality is not enabled. E.g
--------------------
CONFIG_CRASH_CORE=y
CONFIG_KEXEC_CORE=y
CONFIG_KEXEC=y
CONFIG_KEXEC_FILE=y
---------------------
After splitting out crashkernel reservation code and vmcoreinfo exporting
code, there's only crash related code left in kernel/crash_core.c. Now
move crash related codes from kexec_core.c to crash_core.c and only build it
in when CONFIG_CRASH_DUMP=y.
And also wrap up crash codes inside CONFIG_CRASH_DUMP ifdeffery scope,
or replace inappropriate CONFIG_KEXEC_CORE ifdef with CONFIG_CRASH_DUMP
ifdef in generic kernel files.
With these changes, crash_core codes are abstracted from kexec codes and
can be disabled at all if only kexec reboot feature is wanted.

In kdump kernel, /proc/vmcore is an elf file mapping the crashed kernel's
old memory content. Its elf header is constructed in 1st kernel and passed
to kdump kernel via elfcorehdr_addr. Config CRASH_DUMP enables the code
of 1st kernel's old memory accessing in different architectures.
Currently, config FA_DUMP has dependency on CRASH_DUMP because fadump
needs access global variable 'elfcorehdr_addr' to judge if it's in
kdump kernel within function is_kdump_kernel(). In the current
kernel/crash_dump.c, variable 'elfcorehdr_addr' is defined, and function
setup_elfcorehdr() used to parse kernel parameter to fetch the passed
value of elfcorehdr_addr. Only for accessing elfcorehdr_addr, FA_DUMP
really doesn't have to depends on CRASH_DUMP.
To remove the dependency of FA_DUMP on CRASH_DUMP to avoid confusion,
rename kernel/crash_dump.c to kernel/elfcorehdr.c, and build it when
CONFIG_VMCORE_INFO is ebabled. With this, FA_DUMP doesn't need to depend
on CRASH_DUMP.

And add config item CRASH_RESERVE to control its enabling.
And also update the old ifdeffery of CONFIG_CRASH_CORE, including of
<linux/crash_core.h> and config item dependency on CRASH_CORE
accordingly.
And also do renaming as follows:
- arch/xxx/kernel/{crash_core.c => vmcore_info.c}

Patch series "Split crash out from kexec and clean up related config
items", v3.
Motivation:
=============
Previously, LKP reported a building error. When investigating, it can't
be resolved reasonablly with the present messy kdump config items.
https://lore.kernel.org/oe-kbuild-all/202312182200.Ka7MzifQ-lkp@intel.com/
The kdump (crash dumping) related config items could causes confusions:
Firstly,
CRASH_CORE enables codes including
- crashkernel reservation;
- elfcorehdr updating;
- vmcoreinfo exporting;
- crash hotplug handling;
Now fadump of powerpc, kcore dynamic debugging and kdump all selects
CRASH_CORE, while fadump
- fadump needs crashkernel parsing, vmcoreinfo exporting, and accessing
global variable 'elfcorehdr_addr';
- kcore only needs vmcoreinfo exporting;
- kdump needs all of the current kernel/crash_core.c.
So only enabling PROC_CORE or FA_DUMP will enable CRASH_CORE, this
mislead people that we enable crash dumping, actual it's not.
Secondly,
It's not reasonable to allow KEXEC_CORE select CRASH_CORE.
Because KEXEC_CORE enables codes which allocate control pages, copy
kexec/kdump segments, and prepare for switching. These codes are
shared by both kexec reboot and kdump. We could want kexec reboot,
but disable kdump. In that case, CRASH_CORE should not be selected.
--------------------
CONFIG_CRASH_CORE=y
CONFIG_KEXEC_CORE=y
CONFIG_KEXEC=y
CONFIG_KEXEC_FILE=y
---------------------
Thirdly,
It's not reasonable to allow CRASH_DUMP select KEXEC_CORE.
That could make KEXEC_CORE, CRASH_DUMP are enabled independently from
KEXEC or KEXEC_FILE. However, w/o KEXEC or KEXEC_FILE, the KEXEC_CORE
code built in doesn't make any sense because no kernel loading or
switching will happen to utilize the KEXEC_CORE code.
---------------------
CONFIG_CRASH_CORE=y
CONFIG_KEXEC_CORE=y
CONFIG_CRASH_DUMP=y
---------------------
In this case, what is worse, on arch sh and arm, KEXEC relies on MMU,
while CRASH_DUMP can still be enabled when !MMU, then compiling error is
seen as the lkp test robot reported in above link.
------arch/sh/Kconfig------
config ARCH_SUPPORTS_KEXEC
def_bool MMU
config ARCH_SUPPORTS_CRASH_DUMP
def_bool BROKEN_ON_SMP
---------------------------
Changes:
===========
1, split out crash_reserve.c from crash_core.c;
2, split out vmcore_infoc. from crash_core.c;
3, move crash related codes in kexec_core.c into crash_core.c;
4, remove dependency of FA_DUMP on CRASH_DUMP;
5, clean up kdump related config items;
6, wrap up crash codes in crash related ifdefs on all 8 arch-es
which support crash dumping, except of ppc;
Achievement:
===========
With above changes, I can rearrange the config item logic as below (the right
item depends on or is selected by the left item):
PROC_KCORE -----------> VMCORE_INFO
|----------> VMCORE_INFO
FA_DUMP----|
|----------> CRASH_RESERVE
---->VMCORE_INFO
/
|---->CRASH_RESERVE
KEXEC --| /|
|--> KEXEC_CORE--> CRASH_DUMP-->/-|---->PROC_VMCORE
KEXEC_FILE --| \ |
\---->CRASH_HOTPLUG
KEXEC --|
|--> KEXEC_CORE (for kexec reboot only)
KEXEC_FILE --|
Test
========
On all 8 architectures, including x86_64, arm64, s390x, sh, arm, mips,
riscv, loongarch, I did below three cases of config item setting and
building all passed. Take configs on x86_64 as exampmle here:
(1) Both CONFIG_KEXEC and KEXEC_FILE is unset, then all kexec/kdump
items are unset automatically:
# Kexec and crash features
# CONFIG_KEXEC is not set
# CONFIG_KEXEC_FILE is not set
# end of Kexec and crash features
(2) set CONFIG_KEXEC_FILE and 'make olddefconfig':
---------------
# Kexec and crash features
CONFIG_CRASH_RESERVE=y
CONFIG_VMCORE_INFO=y
CONFIG_KEXEC_CORE=y
CONFIG_KEXEC_FILE=y
CONFIG_CRASH_DUMP=y
CONFIG_CRASH_HOTPLUG=y
CONFIG_CRASH_MAX_MEMORY_RANGES=8192
# end of Kexec and crash features
---------------
(3) unset CONFIG_CRASH_DUMP in case 2 and execute 'make olddefconfig':
------------------------
# Kexec and crash features
CONFIG_KEXEC_CORE=y
CONFIG_KEXEC_FILE=y
# end of Kexec and crash features
------------------------
Note:
For ppc, it needs investigation to make clear how to split out crash
code in arch folder. Hope Hari and Pingfan can help have a look, see if
it's doable. Now, I make it either have both kexec and crash enabled, or
disable both of them altogether.
This patch (of 14):
Both kdump and fa_dump of ppc rely on crashkernel reservation. Move the
relevant codes into separate files: crash_reserve.c,
include/linux/crash_reserve.h.
And also add config item CRASH_RESERVE to control its enabling of the
codes. And update config items which has relationship with crashkernel
reservation.
And also change ifdeffery from CONFIG_CRASH_CORE to CONFIG_CRASH_RESERVE
when those scopes are only crashkernel reservation related.
And also rename arch/XXX/include/asm/{crash_core.h => crash_reserve.h} on
arm64, x86 and risc-v because those architectures' crash_core.h is only
related to crashkernel reservation.

A number of nodes which are used in the alloc/free paths is set based on
num_possible_cpus() in a system. Please note a high limit threshold
though is fixed and corresponds to 128 nodes.
For 32-bit or single core systems an access to a global vmap heap is not
balanced. Such small systems do not suffer from lock contentions due to
low number of CPUs. In such case the nr_nodes is equal to 1.

Invoke a kmemleak_scan_area() function only for newly allocated objects to
add a scan area within that object. There is no reason to add a same scan
area(pointer to beginning or inside the object) several times. If a VA is
obtained from the cache its scan area has already been associated.

Concurrent access to a global vmap space is a bottle-neck. We can
simulate a high contention by running a vmalloc test suite.
To address it, introduce an effective vmap node logic. Each node behaves
as independent entity. When a node is accessed it serves a request
directly(if possible) from its pool.
This model has a size based pool for requests, i.e. pools are serialized
and populated based on object size and real demand. A maximum object size
that pool can handle is set to 256 pages.
This technique reduces a pressure on the global vmap lock.

Similar to busy VA, lazily-freed area is stored to a node it belongs to.
Such approach does not require any global locking primitive, instead an
access becomes scalable what mitigates a contention.
This patch removes a global purge-lock, global purge-tree and global purge
list.

Store allocated objects in a separate nodes. A va->va_start address is
converted into a correct node where it should be placed and resided. An
addr_to_node() function is used to do a proper address conversion to
determine a node that contains a VA.
Such approach balances VAs across nodes as a result an access becomes
scalable. Number of nodes in a system depends on number of CPUs.
Please note:
1. As of now allocated VAs are bound to a node-0. It means the
patch does not give any difference comparing with a current
behavior;
2. The global vmap_area_lock, vmap_area_root are removed as there
is no need in it anymore. The vmap_area_list is still kept and
is _empty_. It is exported for a kexec only;
3. The vmallocinfo and vread() have to be reworked to be able to
handle multiple nodes.

the pattern.

Patch series "Mitigate a vmap lock contention", v3.
1. Motivation
- Offload global vmap locks making it scaled to number of CPUS;
- If possible and there is an agreement, we can remove the "Per cpu kva
allocator" to make the vmap code to be more simple;
- There were complaints from XFS folk that a vmalloc might be contented
on their workloads.
2. Design(high level overview)
We introduce an effective vmap node logic. A node behaves as independent
entity to serve an allocation request directly(if possible) from its pool.
That way it bypasses a global vmap space that is protected by its own
lock.
An access to pools are serialized by CPUs. Number of nodes are equal to
number of CPUs in a system. Please note the high threshold is bound to
128 nodes.
Pools are size segregated and populated based on system demand. The
maximum alloc request that can be stored into a segregated storage is 256
pages. The lazily drain path decays a pool by 25% as a first step and as
second populates it by fresh freed VAs for reuse instead of returning them
into a global space.
When a VA is obtained(alloc path), it is stored in separate nodes. A
va->va_start address is converted into a correct node where it should be
placed and resided. Doing so we balance VAs across the nodes as a result
an access becomes scalable. The addr_to_node() function does a proper
address conversion to a correct node.
A vmap space is divided on segments with fixed size, it is 16 pages. That
way any address can be associated with a segment number. Number of
segments are equal to num_possible_cpus() but not grater then 128. The
numeration starts from 0. See below how it is converted:
static inline unsigned int
addr_to_node_id(unsigned long addr)
{
return (addr / zone_size) % nr_nodes;
}
On a free path, a VA can be easily found by converting its "va_start"
address to a certain node it resides. It is moved from "busy" data to
"lazy" data structure. Later on, as noted earlier, the lazy kworker
decays each node pool and populates it by fresh incoming VAs. Please
note, a VA is returned to a node that did an alloc request.

page_owner needs to increment a stack_record refcount when a new
allocation occurs, and decrement it on a free operation. In order to do
that, we need to have a way to get a stack_record from a handle.
Implement __stack_depot_get_stack_record() which just does that, and make
it public so page_owner can use it.
Also, traversing all stackdepot buckets comes with its own complexity,
plus we would have to implement a way to mark only those stack_records
that were originated from page_owner, as those are the ones we are
interested in. For that reason, page_owner maintains its own list of
stack_records, because traversing that list is faster than traversing all
buckets while keeping at the same time a low complexity.
For now, add to stack_list only the stack_records of dummy_handle and
failure_handle, and set their refcount of 1.
Further patches will add code to increment or decrement stack_records
count on allocation and free operation.

Patch series "page_owner: print stacks and their outstanding allocations",
v10.
page_owner is a great debug functionality tool that lets us know about all
pages that have been allocated/freed and their specific stacktrace. This
comes very handy when debugging memory leaks, since with some scripting we
can see the outstanding allocations, which might point to a memory leak.
In my experience, that is one of the most useful cases, but it can get
really tedious to screen through all pages and try to reconstruct the
stack <-> allocated/freed relationship, becoming most of the time a
daunting and slow process when we have tons of allocation/free operations.
This patchset aims to ease that by adding a new functionality into
page_owner. This functionality creates a new directory called
'page_owner_stacks' under 'sys/kernel//debug' with a read-only file called
'show_stacks', which prints out all the stacks followed by their
outstanding number of allocations (being that the times the stacktrace has
allocated but not freed yet). This gives us a clear and a quick overview
of stacks <-> allocated/free.
We take advantage of the new refcount_f field that stack_record struct
gained, and increment/decrement the stack refcount on every
__set_page_owner() (alloc operation) and __reset_page_owner (free
operation) call.
Unfortunately, we cannot use the new stackdepot api STACK_DEPOT_FLAG_GET
because it does not fulfill page_owner needs, meaning we would have to
special case things, at which point makes more sense for page_owner to do
its own {dec,inc}rementing of the stacks. E.g: Using
STACK_DEPOT_FLAG_PUT, once the refcount reaches 0, such stack gets
evicted, so page_owner would lose information.
This patchset also creates a new file called 'set_threshold' within
'page_owner_stacks' directory, and by writing a value to it, the stacks
which refcount is below such value will be filtered out.

This patch (of 7):
The very first entry of stack_record gets a handle of 0, but this is wrong
because stackdepot treats a 0-handle as a non-valid one. E.g: See the
check in stack_depot_fetch()
Fix this by adding and offset of 1.
This bug has been lurking since the very beginning of stackdepot, but no
one really cared as it seems. Because of that I am not adding a Fixes
tag.

In cachestat, we access the folio from the page cache's xarray to compute
its page offset, and check for its dirty and writeback flags. However, we
do not hold a reference to the folio before performing these actions,
which means the folio can concurrently be released and reused as another
folio/page/slab.
Get around this altogether by just using xarray's existing machinery for
the folio page offsets and dirty/writeback states.
This changes behavior for tmpfs files to now always report zeroes in their
dirty and writeback counters. This is okay as tmpfs doesn't follow
conventional writeback cache behavior: its pages get "cleaned" during
swapout, after which they're no longer resident etc.

This partially reverts commits cc478e0b6b, 63b85ac56a, 08d7c94d96,
a414d4286f, and 773688a6cb to make use of variable-sized stack depot
records, since eviction of stack entries from stack depot forces fixed-
sized stack records. Care was taken to retain the code cleanups by the
above commits.
Eviction was added to generic KASAN as a response to alleviating the
additional memory usage from fixed-sized stack records, but this still
uses more memory than previously.
With the re-introduction of variable-sized records for stack depot, we can
just switch back to non-evictable stack records again, and return back to
the previous performance and memory usage baseline.
Before (observed after a KASAN kernel boot):

refcounted_allocations: 0
refcounted_frees: 0
refcounted_in_use: 0
freelist_size: 0
persistent_count: 29397

As can be seen from the counters, with a generic KASAN config, refcounted
allocations and evictions are no longer used. Due to using variable-sized
records, I observe a reduction of 278 stack depot pools (saving 4448 KiB)
with my test setup.

With the introduction of stack depot evictions, each stack record is now
fixed size, so that future reuse after an eviction can safely store
differently sized stack traces. In all cases that do not make use of
evictions, this wastes lots of space.
Fix it by re-introducing variable size stack records (up to the max
allowed size) for entries that will never be evicted. We know if an entry
will never be evicted if the flag STACK_DEPOT_FLAG_GET is not provided,
since a later stack_depot_put() attempt is undefined behavior.
With my current kernel config that enables KASAN and also SLUB owner
tracking, I observe (after a kernel boot) a whopping reduction of 296
stack depot pools, which translates into 4736 KiB saved. The savings here
are from SLUB owner tracking only, because KASAN generic mode still uses
refcounting.

Increments and loads to mmap_changing are always in mmap_lock critical
section. This ensures that if userspace requests event notification for
non-cooperative operations (e.g. mremap), userfaultfd operations don't
occur concurrently.
This can be achieved by using a separate read-write semaphore in
userfaultfd_ctx such that increments are done in write-mode and loads in
read-mode, thereby eliminating the dependency on mmap_lock for this
purpose.
This is a preparatory step before we replace mmap_lock usage with per-vma
locks in fill/move ioctls.

Patch series "per-vma locks in userfaultfd", v7.
Performing userfaultfd operations (like copy/move etc.) in critical
section of mmap_lock (read-mode) causes significant contention on the lock
when operations requiring the lock in write-mode are taking place
concurrently. We can use per-vma locks instead to significantly reduce
the contention issue.
Android runtime's Garbage Collector uses userfaultfd for concurrent
compaction. mmap-lock contention during compaction potentially causes
jittery experience for the user. During one such reproducible scenario,
we observed the following improvements with this patch-set:
- Wall clock time of compaction phase came down from ~3s to <500ms
- Uninterruptible sleep time (across all threads in the process) was
~10ms (none in mmap_lock) during compaction, instead of >20s
This patch (of 4):
Move the struct to userfaultfd_k.h to be accessible from mm/userfaultfd.c.
There are no other changes in the struct.
This is required to prepare for using per-vma locks in userfaultfd
operations.

In 5d4c6ac946 ("kasan: record and report more information") I thought
that printk only displays a maximum of 99999 seconds, but actually printk
can display a larger number of seconds.
So increase the number of bits to shift when recording the extra timestamp
(44 bits), without affecting the precision, shift it right by 9 bits,
discarding all bits that do not affect the microsecond part (nanoseconds
will not be shown).
Currently the maximum time that can be displayed is 9007199.254740s,
because
11111111111111111111111111111111111111111111 (44 bits) << 9
= 11111111111111111111111111111111111111111111000000000

commit d92576f116 ("dax: does not work correctly with virtual aliasing caches")
prevents DAX from building on architectures with virtually aliased
dcache with:
depends on !(ARM || MIPS || SPARC)
This check is too broad (e.g. recent ARMv7 don't have virtually aliased
dcaches), and also misses many other architectures with virtually
aliased data cache.
This is a regression introduced in the v4.0 Linux kernel where the
dax mount option is removed for 32-bit ARMv7 boards which have no data
cache aliasing, and therefore should work fine with FS_DAX.
This was turned into the following check in alloc_dax() by a preparatory
change:
if (ops && (IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_ARM) ||
IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_MIPS) ||
IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_SPARC)))
return NULL;
Use cpu_dcache_is_aliasing() instead to figure out whether the environment
has aliasing data caches.

Introduce a generic way to query whether the data cache is virtually
aliased on all architectures. Its purpose is to ensure that subsystems
which are incompatible with virtually aliased data caches (e.g. FS_DAX)
can reliably query this.
For data cache aliasing, there are three scenarios dependending on the
architecture. Here is a breakdown based on my understanding:
A) The data cache is always aliasing:
* arc
* csky
* m68k (note: shared memory mappings are incoherent ? SHMLBA is missing there.)
* sh
* parisc
B) The data cache aliasing is statically known or depends on querying CPU
state at runtime:
* arm (cache_is_vivt() || cache_is_vipt_aliasing())
* mips (cpu_has_dc_aliases)
* nios2 (NIOS2_DCACHE_SIZE > PAGE_SIZE)
* sparc32 (vac_cache_size > PAGE_SIZE)
* sparc64 (L1DCACHE_SIZE > PAGE_SIZE)
* xtensa (DCACHE_WAY_SIZE > PAGE_SIZE)
C) The data cache is never aliasing:
* alpha
* arm64 (aarch64)
* hexagon
* loongarch (but with incoherent write buffers, which are disabled since
commit d23b7795 ("LoongArch: Change SHMLBA from SZ_64K to PAGE_SIZE"))
* microblaze
* openrisc
* powerpc
* riscv
* s390
* um
* x86
Require architectures in A) and B) to select ARCH_HAS_CPU_CACHE_ALIASING and
implement "cpu_dcache_is_aliasing()".
Architectures in C) don't select ARCH_HAS_CPU_CACHE_ALIASING, and thus
cpu_dcache_is_aliasing() simply evaluates to "false".
Note that this leaves "cpu_icache_is_aliasing()" to be implemented as future
work. This would be useful to gate features like XIP on architectures
which have aliasing CPU dcache-icache but not CPU dcache-dcache.
Use "cpu_dcache" and "cpu_cache" rather than just "dcache" and "cache"
to clarify that we really mean "CPU data cache" and "CPU cache" to
eliminate any possible confusion with VFS "dentry cache" and "page
cache".

Replace the following fs/Kconfig:FS_DAX dependency:
depends on !(ARM || MIPS || SPARC)
By a runtime check within alloc_dax(). This runtime check returns
ERR_PTR(-EOPNOTSUPP) if the @ops parameter is non-NULL (which means
the kernel is using an aliased mapping) on an architecture which
has data cache aliasing.
Change the return value from NULL to PTR_ERR(-EOPNOTSUPP) for
CONFIG_DAX=n for consistency.
This is done in preparation for using cpu_dcache_is_aliasing() in a
following change which will properly support architectures which detect
data cache aliasing at runtime.

In preparation for checking whether the architecture has data cache
aliasing within alloc_dax(), modify the error handling of virtio
virtio_fs_setup_dax() to treat alloc_dax() -EOPNOTSUPP failure as
non-fatal.
