commit 00206a69ee32f03e6f40837684dcbe475ea02266 upstream.

Since commit ad67b74d2469d9b8 ("printk: hash addresses printed with %p"),
at boot "____ptrval____" is printed instead of actual addresses:

    percpu: Embedded 38 pages/cpu @(____ptrval____) s124376 r0 d31272 u524288

Instead of changing the print to "%px", and leaking kernel addresses,
just remove the print completely, cfr. e.g. commit 071929dbdd865f77
("arm64: Stop printing the virtual memory layout").

commit e8277b3b52240ec1caad8e6df278863e4bf42eac upstream.

Commit 58bc4c34d249 ("mm/vmstat.c: skip NR_TLB_REMOTE_FLUSH* properly")
depends on skipping vmstat entries with empty name introduced in
7aaf77272358 ("mm: don't show nr_indirectly_reclaimable in
/proc/vmstat") but reverted in b29940c1abd7 ("mm: rename and change
semantics of nr_indirectly_reclaimable_bytes").

So skipping no longer works and /proc/vmstat has misformatted lines " 0".

This patch simply shows debug counters "nr_tlb_remote_*" for UP.

<title>coredump: fix race condition between mmget_not_zero()/get_task_mm() and core dumping</title>

commit 04f5866e41fb70690e28397487d8bd8eea7d712a upstream.

The core dumping code has always run without holding the mmap_sem for
writing, despite that is the only way to ensure that the entire vma
layout will not change from under it.  Only using some signal
serialization on the processes belonging to the mm is not nearly enough.
This was pointed out earlier.  For example in Hugh's post from Jul 2017:

  https://lkml.kernel.org/r/alpine.LSU.2.11.1707191716030.2055@eggly.anvils

  "Not strictly relevant here, but a related note: I was very surprised
   to discover, only quite recently, how handle_mm_fault() may be called
   without down_read(mmap_sem) - when core dumping. That seems a
   misguided optimization to me, which would also be nice to correct"

In particular because the growsdown and growsup can move the
vm_start/vm_end the various loops the core dump does around the vma will
not be consistent if page faults can happen concurrently.

Pretty much all users calling mmget_not_zero()/get_task_mm() and then
taking the mmap_sem had the potential to introduce unexpected side
effects in the core dumping code.

Adding mmap_sem for writing around the -&gt;core_dump invocation is a
viable long term fix, but it requires removing all copy user and page
faults and to replace them with get_dump_page() for all binary formats
which is not suitable as a short term fix.

For the time being this solution manually covers the places that can
confuse the core dump either by altering the vma layout or the vma flags
while it runs.  Once -&gt;core_dump runs under mmap_sem for writing the
function mmget_still_valid() can be dropped.

Allowing mmap_sem protected sections to run in parallel with the
coredump provides some minor parallelism advantage to the swapoff code
(which seems to be safe enough by never mangling any vma field and can
keep doing swapins in parallel to the core dumping) and to some other
corner case.

In order to facilitate the backporting I added "Fixes: 86039bd3b4e6"
however the side effect of this same race condition in /proc/pid/mem
should be reproducible since before 2.6.12-rc2 so I couldn't add any
other "Fixes:" because there's no hash beyond the git genesis commit.

Because find_extend_vma() is the only location outside of the process
context that could modify the "mm" structures under mmap_sem for
reading, by adding the mmget_still_valid() check to it, all other cases
that take the mmap_sem for reading don't need the new check after
mmget_not_zero()/get_task_mm().  The expand_stack() in page fault
context also doesn't need the new check, because all tasks under core
dumping are frozen.

<title>mm: hide incomplete nr_indirectly_reclaimable in /proc/zoneinfo</title>

[fixed differently upstream, this is a work-around to resolve it for 4.19.y]

Yongqin reported that /proc/zoneinfo format is broken in 4.14
due to commit 7aaf77272358 ("mm: don't show nr_indirectly_reclaimable
in /proc/vmstat")

Node 0, zone      DMA

The problem is caused by the nr_indirectly_reclaimable counter,
which is hidden from the /proc/vmstat, but not from the
/proc/zoneinfo. Let's fix this inconsistency and hide the
counter from /proc/zoneinfo exactly as from /proc/vmstat.

BTW, in 4.19+ the counter has been renamed and exported by
the commit b29940c1abd7 ("mm: rename and change semantics of
nr_indirectly_reclaimable_bytes"), so there is no such a problem
anymore.

<title>mm: writeback: use exact memcg dirty counts</title>

<id>43f47331a4ce7c335582d9300f62ad583e07d707</id>
<content type='text'>
commit 0b3d6e6f2dd0a7b697b1aa8c167265908940624b upstream.

Since commit a983b5ebee57 ("mm: memcontrol: fix excessive complexity in
memory.stat reporting") memcg dirty and writeback counters are managed
as:

 1) per-memcg per-cpu values in range of [-32..32]

 2) per-memcg atomic counter

When a per-cpu counter cannot fit in [-32..32] it's flushed to the
atomic.  Stat readers only check the atomic.  Thus readers such as
balance_dirty_pages() may see a nontrivial error margin: 32 pages per
cpu.

Assuming 100 cpus:
   4k x86 page_size:  13 MiB error per memcg
  64k ppc page_size: 200 MiB error per memcg

Considering that dirty+writeback are used together for some decisions the
errors double.

This inaccuracy can lead to undeserved oom kills.  One nasty case is
when all per-cpu counters hold positive values offsetting an atomic
negative value (i.e.  per_cpu[*]=32, atomic=n_cpu*-32).
balance_dirty_pages() only consults the atomic and does not consider
throttling the next n_cpu*32 dirty pages.  If the file_lru is in the
13..200 MiB range then there's absolutely no dirty throttling, which
burdens vmscan with only dirty+writeback pages thus resorting to oom
kill.

It could be argued that tiny containers are not supported, but it's more
subtle.  It's the amount the space available for file lru that matters.
If a container has memory.max-200MiB of non reclaimable memory, then it
will also suffer such oom kills on a 100 cpu machine.

The following test reliably ooms without this patch.  This patch avoids
oom kills.

  $ cat test
  mount -t cgroup2 none /dev/cgroup
  cd /dev/cgroup
  echo +io +memory &gt; cgroup.subtree_control
  mkdir test
  cd test
  echo 10M &gt; memory.max
  (echo $BASHPID &gt; cgroup.procs &amp;&amp; exec /memcg-writeback-stress /foo)
  (echo $BASHPID &gt; cgroup.procs &amp;&amp; exec dd if=/dev/zero of=/foo bs=2M count=100)

  $ cat memcg-writeback-stress.c
  /*
   * Dirty pages from all but one cpu.
   * Clean pages from the non dirtying cpu.
   * This is to stress per cpu counter imbalance.
   * On a 100 cpu machine:
   * - per memcg per cpu dirty count is 32 pages for each of 99 cpus
   * - per memcg atomic is -99*32 pages
   * - thus the complete dirty limit: sum of all counters 0
   * - balance_dirty_pages() only sees atomic count -99*32 pages, which
   *   it max()s to 0.
   * - So a workload can dirty -99*32 pages before balance_dirty_pages()
   *   cares.

Make balance_dirty_pages() and wb_over_bg_thresh() work harder to
collect exact per memcg counters.  This avoids the aforementioned oom
kills.

This does not affect the overhead of memory.stat, which still reads the
single atomic counter.

Why not use percpu_counter? memcg already handles cpus going offline, so
no need for that overhead from percpu_counter.  And the percpu_counter
spinlocks are more heavyweight than is required.

It probably also makes sense to use exact dirty and writeback counters
in memcg oom reports.  But that is saved for later.

commit 0b3d6e6f2dd0a7b697b1aa8c167265908940624b upstream.

Since commit a983b5ebee57 ("mm: memcontrol: fix excessive complexity in
memory.stat reporting") memcg dirty and writeback counters are managed
as:

 1) per-memcg per-cpu values in range of [-32..32]

 2) per-memcg atomic counter

When a per-cpu counter cannot fit in [-32..32] it's flushed to the
atomic.  Stat readers only check the atomic.  Thus readers such as
balance_dirty_pages() may see a nontrivial error margin: 32 pages per
cpu.

Assuming 100 cpus:
   4k x86 page_size:  13 MiB error per memcg
  64k ppc page_size: 200 MiB error per memcg

Considering that dirty+writeback are used together for some decisions the
errors double.

This inaccuracy can lead to undeserved oom kills.  One nasty case is
when all per-cpu counters hold positive values offsetting an atomic
negative value (i.e.  per_cpu[*]=32, atomic=n_cpu*-32).
balance_dirty_pages() only consults the atomic and does not consider
throttling the next n_cpu*32 dirty pages.  If the file_lru is in the
13..200 MiB range then there's absolutely no dirty throttling, which
burdens vmscan with only dirty+writeback pages thus resorting to oom
kill.

It could be argued that tiny containers are not supported, but it's more
subtle.  It's the amount the space available for file lru that matters.
If a container has memory.max-200MiB of non reclaimable memory, then it
will also suffer such oom kills on a 100 cpu machine.

The following test reliably ooms without this patch.  This patch avoids
oom kills.

  $ cat test
  mount -t cgroup2 none /dev/cgroup
  cd /dev/cgroup
  echo +io +memory &gt; cgroup.subtree_control
  mkdir test
  cd test
  echo 10M &gt; memory.max
  (echo $BASHPID &gt; cgroup.procs &amp;&amp; exec /memcg-writeback-stress /foo)
  (echo $BASHPID &gt; cgroup.procs &amp;&amp; exec dd if=/dev/zero of=/foo bs=2M count=100)

  $ cat memcg-writeback-stress.c
  /*
   * Dirty pages from all but one cpu.
   * Clean pages from the non dirtying cpu.
   * This is to stress per cpu counter imbalance.
   * On a 100 cpu machine:
   * - per memcg per cpu dirty count is 32 pages for each of 99 cpus
   * - per memcg atomic is -99*32 pages
   * - thus the complete dirty limit: sum of all counters 0
   * - balance_dirty_pages() only sees atomic count -99*32 pages, which
   *   it max()s to 0.
   * - So a workload can dirty -99*32 pages before balance_dirty_pages()
   *   cares.

commit c6f3c5ee40c10bb65725047a220570f718507001 upstream.

With some architectures like ppc64, set_pmd_at() cannot cope with a
situation where there is already some (different) valid entry present.

Use pmdp_set_access_flags() instead to modify the pfn which is built to
deal with modifying existing PMD entries.

This is similar to commit cae85cb8add3 ("mm/memory.c: fix modifying of
page protection by insert_pfn()")

We also do similar update w.r.t insert_pfn_pud eventhough ppc64 don't
support pud pfn entries now.

Without this patch we also see the below message in kernel log "BUG:
non-zero pgtables_bytes on freeing mm:"

[ Upstream commit 4117992df66a26fa33908b4969e04801534baab1 ]

KASAN does not play well with the page poisoning (CONFIG_PAGE_POISONING).
It triggers false positives in the allocation path:

because KASAN has not yet unpoisoned the shadow page for allocation
before it checks memchr_inv() but only found a stale poison pattern.

Also, false positives in free path,

[ Upstream commit 92d1d07daad65c300c7d0b68bbef8867e9895d54 ]

Kmemleak throws endless warnings during boot due to in
__alloc_alien_cache(),

    alc = kmalloc_node(memsize, gfp, node);
    init_arraycache(&amp;alc-&gt;ac, entries, batch);
    kmemleak_no_scan(ac);

Kmemleak does not track the array cache (alc-&gt;ac) but the alien cache
(alc) instead, so let it track the latter by lifting kmemleak_no_scan()
out of init_arraycache().

There is another place that calls init_arraycache(), but
alloc_kmem_cache_cpus() uses the percpu allocation where will never be
considered as a leak.

[ Upstream commit 92d1d07daad65c300c7d0b68bbef8867e9895d54 ]

Kmemleak throws endless warnings during boot due to in
__alloc_alien_cache(),

    alc = kmalloc_node(memsize, gfp, node);
    init_arraycache(&amp;alc-&gt;ac, entries, batch);
    kmemleak_no_scan(ac);

Kmemleak does not track the array cache (alc-&gt;ac) but the alien cache
(alc) instead, so let it track the latter by lifting kmemleak_no_scan()
out of init_arraycache().

There is another place that calls init_arraycache(), but
alloc_kmem_cache_cpus() uses the percpu allocation where will never be
considered as a leak.

it can happen due to big align request resulting in overflowing of
calculated address, i.e.  it becomes 0 after ALIGN()'s fixup.

Fix it by checking if calculated address is within vstart/vend range.

As it's difficult to report where exactly the uninit value resides in
the mempolicy object, we have to guess a bit.  mm/mempolicy.c:353
contains this part of mpol_rebind_policy():

        if (!mpol_store_user_nodemask(pol) &amp;&amp;
            nodes_equal(pol-&gt;w.cpuset_mems_allowed, *newmask))

"mpol_store_user_nodemask(pol)" is testing pol-&gt;flags, which I couldn't
ever see being uninitialized after leaving mpol_new().  So I'll guess
it's actually about accessing pol-&gt;w.cpuset_mems_allowed on line 354,
but still part of statement starting on line 353.

For w.cpuset_mems_allowed to be not initialized, and the nodes_equal()
reachable for a mempolicy where mpol_set_nodemask() is called in
do_mbind(), it seems the only possibility is a MPOL_PREFERRED policy
with empty set of nodes, i.e.  MPOL_LOCAL equivalent, with MPOL_F_LOCAL
flag.  Let's exclude such policies from the nodes_equal() check.  Note
the uninit access should be benign anyway, as rebinding this kind of
policy is always a no-op.  Therefore no actual need for stable
inclusion.
