mm: warn about VmData over RLIMIT_DATA

2016-02-03T16:28:43+00:00

This patch provides a way of working around a slight regression
introduced by commit 84638335900f ("mm: rework virtual memory
accounting").

Before that commit RLIMIT_DATA have control only over size of the brk
region.  But that change have caused problems with all existing versions
of valgrind, because it set RLIMIT_DATA to zero.

This patch fixes rlimit check (limit actually in bytes, not pages) and
by default turns it into warning which prints at first VmData misuse:

  "mmap: top (795): VmData 516096 exceed data ulimit 512000.  Will be forbidden soon."

Behavior is controlled by boot param ignore_rlimit_data=y/n and by sysfs
/sys/module/kernel/parameters/ignore_rlimit_data.  For now it set to "y".

proc: revert /proc//maps [stack:TID] annotation

2016-02-03T16:28:43+00:00

Commit b76437579d13 ("procfs: mark thread stack correctly in
proc//maps") added [stack:TID] annotation to /proc//maps.

Finding the task of a stack VMA requires walking the entire thread list,
turning this into quadratic behavior: a thousand threads means a
thousand stacks, so the rendering of /proc//maps needs to look at a
million combinations.

The cost is not in proportion to the usefulness as described in the
patch.

Drop the [stack:TID] annotation to make /proc//maps (and
/proc//numa_maps) usable again for higher thread counts.

The [stack] annotation inside /proc//task//maps is retained, as
identifying the stack VMA there is an O(1) operation.

Siddesh said:
 "The end users needed a way to identify thread stacks programmatically and
  there wasn't a way to do that.  I'm afraid I no longer remember (or have
  access to the resources that would aid my memory since I changed
  employers) the details of their requirement.  However, I did do this on my
  own time because I thought it was an interesting project for me and nobody
  really gave any feedback then as to its utility, so as far as I am
  concerned you could roll back the main thread maps information since the
  information is available in the thread-specific files"

PHY devices may only list compatibility with clause 22, 45, and if
they need to be more specific, their PHY identifier values. No other
compatible strings are allowed.  Make this clear in the documentation,
and remove examples where make/model compatible strings are listed.
