userfaultfd: UFFD_FEATURE_WP_ASYNC
Patch series "Implement IOCTL to get and optionally clear info about PTEs", v33. *Motivation* The real motivation for adding PAGEMAP_SCAN IOCTL is to emulate Windows GetWriteWatch() and ResetWriteWatch() syscalls [1]. The GetWriteWatch() retrieves the addresses of the pages that are written to in a region of virtual memory. This syscall is used in Windows applications and games etc. This syscall is being emulated in pretty slow manner in userspace. Our purpose is to enhance the kernel such that we translate it efficiently in a better way. Currently some out of tree hack patches are being used to efficiently emulate it in some kernels. We intend to replace those with these patches. So the whole gaming on Linux can effectively get benefit from this. It means there would be tons of users of this code. CRIU use case [2] was mentioned by Andrei and Danylo: > Use cases for migrating sparse VMAs are binaries sanitized with ASAN, > MSAN or TSAN [3]. All of these sanitizers produce sparse mappings of > shadow memory [4]. Being able to migrate such binaries allows to highly > reduce the amount of work needed to identify and fix post-migration > crashes, which happen constantly. Andrei defines the following uses of this code: * it is more granular and allows us to track changed pages more effectively. The current interface can clear dirty bits for the entire process only. In addition, reading info about pages is a separate operation. It means we must freeze the process to read information about all its pages, reset dirty bits, only then we can start dumping pages. The information about pages becomes more and more outdated, while we are processing pages. The new interface solves both these downsides. First, it allows us to read pte bits and clear the soft-dirty bit atomically. It means that CRIU will not need to freeze processes to pre-dump their memory. Second, it clears soft-dirty bits for a specified region of memory. It means CRIU will have actual info about pages to the moment of dumping them. * The new interface has to be much faster because basic page filtering is happening in the kernel. With the old interface, we have to read pagemap for each page. *Implementation Evolution (Short Summary)* From the definition of GetWriteWatch(), we feel like kernel's soft-dirty feature can be used under the hood with some additions like: * reset soft-dirty flag for only a specific region of memory instead of clearing the flag for the entire process * get and clear soft-dirty flag for a specific region atomically So we decided to use ioctl on pagemap file to read or/and reset soft-dirty flag. But using soft-dirty flag, sometimes we get extra pages which weren't even written. They had become soft-dirty because of VMA merging and VM_SOFTDIRTY flag. This breaks the definition of GetWriteWatch(). We were able to by-pass this short coming by ignoring VM_SOFTDIRTY until David reported that mprotect etc messes up the soft-dirty flag while ignoring VM_SOFTDIRTY [5]. This wasn't happening until [6] got introduced. We discussed if we can revert these patches. But we could not reach to any conclusion. So at this point, I made couple of tries to solve this whole VM_SOFTDIRTY issue by correcting the soft-dirty implementation: * [7] Correct the bug fixed wrongly back in 2014. It had potential to cause regression. We left it behind. * [8] Keep a list of soft-dirty part of a VMA across splits and merges. I got the reply don't increase the size of the VMA by 8 bytes. At this point, we left soft-dirty considering it is too much delicate and userfaultfd [9] seemed like the only way forward. From there onward, we have been basing soft-dirty emulation on userfaultfd wp feature where kernel resolves the faults itself when WP_ASYNC feature is used. It was straight forward to add WP_ASYNC feature in userfautlfd. Now we get only those pages dirty or written-to which are really written in reality. (PS There is another WP_UNPOPULATED userfautfd feature is required which is needed to avoid pre-faulting memory before write-protecting [9].) All the different masks were added on the request of CRIU devs to create interface more generic and better.

It can be used like a high accuracy version of soft-dirty, without vma modifications during tracking, and also with ranged support by default rather than for a whole mm when reset the protections due to existence of ioctl(UFFDIO_WRITEPROTECT). Several goals of such a dirty tracking interface: 1. All types of memory should be supported and tracable. This is nature for soft-dirty but should mention when the context is userfaultfd, because it used to only support anon/shmem/hugetlb. The problem is for a dirty tracking purpose these three types may not be enough, and it's legal to track anything e.g. any page cache writes from mmap. 2. Protections can be applied to partial of a memory range, without vma split/merge fuss. The hope is that the tracking itself should not affect any vma layout change. It also helps when reset happens because the reset will not need mmap write lock which can block the tracee. 3. Accuracy needs to be maintained. This means we need pte markers to work on any type of VMA. One could question that, the whole concept of async dirty tracking is not really close to fundamentally what userfaultfd used to be: it's not "a fault to be serviced by userspace" anymore. However, using userfaultfd-wp here as a framework is convenient for us in at least: 1. VM_UFFD_WP vma flag, which has a very good name to suite something like this, so we don't need VM_YET_ANOTHER_SOFT_DIRTY. Just use a new feature bit to identify from a sync version of uffd-wp registration. 2. PTE markers logic can be leveraged across the whole kernel to maintain the uffd-wp bit as long as an arch supports, this also applies to this case where uffd-wp bit will be a hint to dirty information and it will not go lost easily (e.g. when some page cache ptes got zapped). 3. Reuse ioctl(UFFDIO_WRITEPROTECT) interface for either starting or resetting a range of memory, while there's no counterpart in the old soft-dirty world, hence if this is wanted in a new design we'll need a new interface otherwise. We can somehow understand that commonality because uffd-wp was fundamentally a similar idea of write-protecting pages just like soft-dirty. This implementation allows WP_ASYNC to imply WP_UNPOPULATED, because so far WP_ASYNC seems to not usable if without WP_UNPOPULATE. This also gives us chance to modify impl of WP_ASYNC just in case it could be not depending on WP_UNPOPULATED anymore in the future kernels. It's also fine to imply that because both features will rely on PTE_MARKER_UFFD_WP config option, so they'll show up together (or both missing) in an UFFDIO_API probe. vma_can_userfault() now allows any VMA if the userfaultfd registration is only about async uffd-wp. So we can track dirty for all kinds of memory including generic file systems (like XFS, EXT4 or BTRFS). One trick worth mention in do_wp_page() is that we need to manually update vmf->orig_pte here because it can be used later with a pte_same() check - this path always has FAULT_FLAG_ORIG_PTE_VALID set in the flags. The major defect of this approach of dirty tracking is we need to populate the pgtables when tracking starts. Soft-dirty doesn't do it like that. It's unwanted in the case where the range of memory to track is huge and unpopulated (e.g., tracking updates on a 10G file with mmap() on top, without having any page cache installed yet). One way to improve this is to allow pte markers exist for larger than PTE level for PMD+. That will not change the interface if to implemented, so we can leave that for later.

mm: userfaultfd: add UFFDIO_CONTINUE_MODE_WP to install WP PTEs
UFFDIO_COPY already has UFFDIO_COPY_MODE_WP, so when installing a new PTE to resolve a missing fault, one can install a write-protected one. This is useful when using UFFDIO_REGISTER_MODE_{MISSING,WP} in combination. This was motivated by testing HugeTLB HGM [1], and in particular its interaction with userfaultfd features. Existing userfaultfd code supports using WP and MINOR modes together (i.e. you can register an area with both enabled), but without this CONTINUE flag the combination is in practice unusable. So, add an analogous UFFDIO_CONTINUE_MODE_WP, which does the same thing as UFFDIO_COPY_MODE_WP, but for *minor* faults. Update the selftest to do some very basic exercising of the new flag. Update Documentation/ to describe how these flags are used (neither the COPY nor the new CONTINUE versions of this mode flag were described there before).

mm/uffd: UFFD_FEATURE_WP_UNPOPULATED
Patch series "mm/uffd: Add feature bit UFFD_FEATURE_WP_UNPOPULATED", v4. The new feature bit makes anonymous memory acts the same as file memory on userfaultfd-wp in that it'll also wr-protect none ptes. It can be useful in two cases: (1) Uffd-wp app that needs to wr-protect none ptes like QEMU snapshot, so pre-fault can be replaced by enabling this flag and speed up protections (2) It helps to implement async uffd-wp mode that Muhammad is working on [1] It's debatable whether this is the most ideal solution because with the new feature bit set, wr-protect none pte needs to pre-populate the pgtables to the last level (PAGE_SIZE). But it seems fine so far to service either purpose above, so we can leave optimizations for later. The series brings pte markers to anonymous memory too. There's some change in the common mm code path in the 1st patch, great to have some eye looking at it, but hopefully they're still relatively straightforward. This patch (of 2): This is a new feature that controls how uffd-wp handles none ptes. When it's set, the kernel will handle anonymous memory the same way as file memory, by allowing the user to wr-protect unpopulated ptes. File memories handles none ptes consistently by allowing wr-protecting of none ptes because of the unawareness of page cache being exist or not. For anonymous it was not as persistent because we used to assume that we don't need protections on none ptes or known zero pages. One use case of such a feature bit was VM live snapshot, where if without wr-protecting empty ptes the snapshot can contain random rubbish in the holes of the anonymous memory, which can cause misbehave of the guest when the guest OS assumes the pages should be all zeros. QEMU worked it around by pre-populate the section with reads to fill in zero page entries before starting the whole snapshot process [1]. Recently there's another need raised on using userfaultfd wr-protect for detecting dirty pages (to replace soft-dirty in some cases) [2]. In that case if without being able to wr-protect none ptes by default, the dirty info can get lost, since we cannot treat every none pte to be dirty (the current design is identify a page dirty based on uffd-wp bit being cleared). In general, we want to be able to wr-protect empty ptes too even for anonymous. This patch implements UFFD_FEATURE_WP_UNPOPULATED so that it'll make uffd-wp handling on none ptes being consistent no matter what the memory type is underneath. It doesn't have any impact on file memories so far because we already have pte markers taking care of that. So it only affects anonymous. The feature bit is by default off, so the old behavior will be maintained. Sometimes it may be wanted because the wr-protect of none ptes will contain overheads not only during UFFDIO_WRITEPROTECT (by applying pte markers to anonymous), but also on creating the pgtables to store the pte markers. So there's potentially less chance of using thp on the first fault for a none pmd or larger than a pmd. The major implementation part is teaching the whole kernel to understand pte markers even for anonymously mapped ranges, meanwhile allowing the UFFDIO_WRITEPROTECT ioctl to apply pte markers for anonymous too when the new feature bit is set. Note that even if the patch subject starts with mm/uffd, there're a few small refactors to major mm path of handling anonymous page faults. But they should be straightforward. With WP_UNPOPUATED, application like QEMU can avoid pre-read faults all the memory before wr-protect during taking a live snapshot. Quotting from Muhammad's test result here [3] based on a simple program [4]: (1) With huge page disabled echo madvise > /sys/kernel/mm/transparent_hugepage/enabled ./uffd_wp_perf Test DEFAULT: 4 Test PRE-READ: 1111453 (pre-fault 1101011) Test MADVISE: 278276 (pre-fault 266378) Test WP-UNPOPULATE: 11712 (2) With Huge page enabled echo always > /sys/kernel/mm/transparent_hugepage/enabled ./uffd_wp_perf Test DEFAULT: 4 Test PRE-READ: 22521 (pre-fault 22348) Test MADVISE: 4909 (pre-fault 4743) Test WP-UNPOPULATE: 14448 There'll be a great perf boost for no-thp case, while for thp enabled with extreme case of all-thp-zero WP_UNPOPULATED can be slower than MADVISE, but that's low possibility in reality, also the overhead was not reduced but postponed until a follow up write on any huge zero thp, so potentially it is faster by making the follow up writes slower.
