Add a new amd pstate driver command line option to enable driver passive
working mode via MSR and shared memory interface to request desired
performance within abstract scale and the power management firmware
(SMU) convert the perf requests into actual hardware pstates.

Also the `disable` parameter can disable the pstate driver loading by
adding `amd_pstate=disable` to kernel command line.

Instead of always doing the safe variants for reading and writing MSRs
in Xen PV guests, make the behavior controllable via Kconfig option
and a boot parameter.

The default will be the current behavior, which is to always use the
safe variant.

Pull MM updates from Andrew Morton:

 - Yu Zhao's Multi-Gen LRU patches are here. They've been under test in
   linux-next for a couple of months without, to my knowledge, any
   negative reports (or any positive ones, come to that).

 - Also the Maple Tree from Liam Howlett. An overlapping range-based
   tree for vmas. It it apparently slightly more efficient in its own
   right, but is mainly targeted at enabling work to reduce mmap_lock
   contention.

   Liam has identified a number of other tree users in the kernel which
   could be beneficially onverted to mapletrees.

   Yu Zhao has identified a hard-to-hit but "easy to fix" lockdep splat
   at [1]. This has yet to be addressed due to Liam's unfortunately
   timed vacation. He is now back and we'll get this fixed up.

 - Dmitry Vyukov introduces KMSAN: the Kernel Memory Sanitizer. It uses
   clang-generated instrumentation to detect used-unintialized bugs down
   to the single bit level.

   KMSAN keeps finding bugs. New ones, as well as the legacy ones.

 - Yang Shi adds a userspace mechanism (madvise) to induce a collapse of
   memory into THPs.

 - Zach O'Keefe has expanded Yang Shi's madvise(MADV_COLLAPSE) to
   support file/shmem-backed pages.

 - userfaultfd updates from Axel Rasmussen

 - zsmalloc cleanups from Alexey Romanov

 - cleanups from Miaohe Lin: vmscan, hugetlb_cgroup, hugetlb and
   memory-failure

 - Huang Ying adds enhancements to NUMA balancing memory tiering mode's
   page promotion, with a new way of detecting hot pages.

 - memcg updates from Shakeel Butt: charging optimizations and reduced
   memory consumption.

 - memcg cleanups from Kairui Song.

 - memcg fixes and cleanups from Johannes Weiner.

 - Vishal Moola provides more folio conversions

 - Zhang Yi removed ll_rw_block() :(

 - migration enhancements from Peter Xu

 - migration error-path bugfixes from Huang Ying

 - Aneesh Kumar added ability for a device driver to alter the memory
   tiering promotion paths. For optimizations by PMEM drivers, DRM
   drivers, etc.

 - vma merging improvements from Jakub Matěn.

 - NUMA hinting cleanups from David Hildenbrand.

 - xu xin added aditional userspace visibility into KSM merging
   activity.

 - THP &amp; KSM code consolidation from Qi Zheng.

 - more folio work from Matthew Wilcox.

 - KASAN updates from Andrey Konovalov.

 - DAMON cleanups from Kaixu Xia.

 - DAMON work from SeongJae Park: fixes, cleanups.

 - hugetlb sysfs cleanups from Muchun Song.

 - Mike Kravetz fixes locking issues in hugetlbfs and in hugetlb core.

  This includes the change to rename all_test_uml.config, and use it for

  change breaks them.

  This change simplifies the usage and eliminates the need to type:

  A simple workaround to create a symlink to the new name can solve the

Pull networking updates from Jakub Kicinski:
 "Core:

   - Introduce and use a single page frag cache for allocating small skb
     heads, clawing back the 10-20% performance regression in UDP flood
     test from previous fixes.

   - Run packets which already went thru HW coalescing thru SW GRO. This
     significantly improves TCP segment coalescing and simplifies
     deployments as different workloads benefit from HW or SW GRO.

   - Shrink the size of the base zero-copy send structure.

   - Move TCP init under a new slow / sleepable version of DO_ONCE().

  BPF:

   - Add BPF-specific, any-context-safe memory allocator.

   - Add helpers/kfuncs for PKCS#7 signature verification from BPF
     programs.

   - Define a new map type and related helpers for user space -&gt; kernel
     communication over a ring buffer (BPF_MAP_TYPE_USER_RINGBUF).

   - Allow targeting BPF iterators to loop through resources of one
     task/thread.

   - Add ability to call selected destructive functions. Expose
     crash_kexec() to allow BPF to trigger a kernel dump. Use
     CAP_SYS_BOOT check on the loading process to judge permissions.

   - Enable BPF to collect custom hierarchical cgroup stats efficiently
     by integrating with the rstat framework.

   - Support struct arguments for trampoline based programs. Only
     structs with size &lt;= 16B and x86 are supported.

   - Invoke cgroup/connect{4,6} programs for unprivileged ICMP ping
     sockets (instead of just TCP and UDP sockets).

   - Add a helper for accessing CLOCK_TAI for time sensitive network
     related programs.

   - Support accessing network tunnel metadata's flags.

   - Make TCP SYN ACK RTO tunable by BPF programs with TCP Fast Open.

   - Add support for writing to Netfilter's nf_conn:mark.

  Protocols:

   - WiFi: more Extremely High Throughput (EHT) and Multi-Link Operation
     (MLO) work (802.11be, WiFi 7).

   - vsock: improve support for SO_RCVLOWAT.

   - SMC: support SO_REUSEPORT.

   - Netlink: define and document how to use netlink in a "modern" way.
     Support reporting missing attributes via extended ACK.

   - IPSec: support collect metadata mode for xfrm interfaces.

   - TCPv6: send consistent autoflowlabel in SYN_RECV state and RST
     packets.

   - TCP: introduce optional per-netns connection hash table to allow
     better isolation between namespaces (opt-in, at the cost of memory
     and cache pressure).

   - MPTCP: support TCP_FASTOPEN_CONNECT.

   - Add NEXT-C-SID support in Segment Routing (SRv6) End behavior.

   - Adjust IP_UNICAST_IF sockopt behavior for connected UDP sockets.

   - Open vSwitch:
      - Allow specifying ifindex of new interfaces.
      - Allow conntrack and metering in non-initial user namespace.

   - TLS: support the Korean ARIA-GCM crypto algorithm.

   - Remove DECnet support.

  Driver API:

   - Allow selecting the conduit interface used by each port in DSA
     switches, at runtime.

   - Ethernet Power Sourcing Equipment and Power Device support.

   - Add tc-taprio support for queueMaxSDU parameter, i.e. setting per
     traffic class max frame size for time-based packet schedules.

   - Support PHY rate matching - adapting between differing host-side
     and link-side speeds.

   - Introduce QUSGMII PHY mode and 1000BASE-KX interface mode.

   - Validate OF (device tree) nodes for DSA shared ports; make
     phylink-related properties mandatory on DSA and CPU ports.
     Enforcing more uniformity should allow transitioning to phylink.

   - Require that flash component name used during update matches one of
     the components for which version is reported by info_get().

   - Remove "weight" argument from driver-facing NAPI API as much as
     possible. It's one of those magic knobs which seemed like a good
     idea at the time but is too indirect to use in practice.

   - Support offload of TLS connections with 256 bit keys.

  New hardware / drivers:

   - Ethernet:
      - Microchip KSZ9896 6-port Gigabit Ethernet Switch
      - Renesas Ethernet AVB (EtherAVB-IF) Gen4 SoCs

   - Add a helper for accessing CLOCK_TAI for time sensitive network
     related programs.

   - Support accessing network tunnel metadata's flags.

   - Make TCP SYN ACK RTO tunable by BPF programs with TCP Fast Open.

   - Add support for writing to Netfilter's nf_conn:mark.

  Protocols:

   - WiFi: more Extremely High Throughput (EHT) and Multi-Link Operation
     (MLO) work (802.11be, WiFi 7).

   - vsock: improve support for SO_RCVLOWAT.

   - SMC: support SO_REUSEPORT.

   - Netlink: define and document how to use netlink in a "modern" way.
     Support reporting missing attributes via extended ACK.

   - IPSec: support collect metadata mode for xfrm interfaces.

   - TCPv6: send consistent autoflowlabel in SYN_RECV state and RST
     packets.

   - TCP: introduce optional per-netns connection hash table to allow
     better isolation between namespaces (opt-in, at the cost of memory
     and cache pressure).

   - MPTCP: support TCP_FASTOPEN_CONNECT.

   - Add NEXT-C-SID support in Segment Routing (SRv6) End behavior.

   - Adjust IP_UNICAST_IF sockopt behavior for connected UDP sockets.

   - Open vSwitch:
      - Allow specifying ifindex of new interfaces.
      - Allow conntrack and metering in non-initial user namespace.

   - TLS: support the Korean ARIA-GCM crypto algorithm.

   - Remove DECnet support.

  Driver API:

   - Allow selecting the conduit interface used by each port in DSA
     switches, at runtime.

   - Ethernet Power Sourcing Equipment and Power Device support.

   - Add tc-taprio support for queueMaxSDU parameter, i.e. setting per
     traffic class max frame size for time-based packet schedules.

   - Support PHY rate matching - adapting between differing host-side
     and link-side speeds.

   - Introduce QUSGMII PHY mode and 1000BASE-KX interface mode.

   - Validate OF (device tree) nodes for DSA shared ports; make
     phylink-related properties mandatory on DSA and CPU ports.
     Enforcing more uniformity should allow transitioning to phylink.

   - Require that flash component name used during update matches one of
     the components for which version is reported by info_get().

   - Remove "weight" argument from driver-facing NAPI API as much as
     possible. It's one of those magic knobs which seemed like a good
     idea at the time but is too indirect to use in practice.

   - Support offload of TLS connections with 256 bit keys.

<title>mm: memcontrol: deprecate swapaccounting=0 mode</title>
<updated>2022-10-03T21:03:36+00:00</updated>

<link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='https://git.tavy.me/linux-stable.git/commit/?id=b25806dcd3d5248833f7d2544ee29a701735159f'/>
<id>b25806dcd3d5248833f7d2544ee29a701735159f</id>
<content type='text'>
The swapaccounting= commandline option already does very little today.  To
close a trivial containment failure case, the swap ownership tracking part
of the swap controller has recently become mandatory (see commit
2d1c498072de ("mm: memcontrol: make swap tracking an integral part of
memory control") for details), which makes up the majority of the work
during swapout, swapin, and the swap slot map.

The only thing left under this flag is the page_counter operations and the
visibility of the swap control files in the first place, which are rather
meager savings.  There also aren't many scenarios, if any, where
controlling the memory of a cgroup while allowing it unlimited access to a
global swap space is a workable resource isolation strategy.

On the other hand, there have been several bugs and confusion around the
many possible swap controller states (cgroup1 vs cgroup2 behavior, memory
accounting without swap accounting, memcg runtime disabled).

This puts the maintenance overhead of retaining the toggle above its
practical benefits.  Deprecate it.
