lib: add allocation tagging support for memory allocation profiling

2024-04-26T03:55:52+00:00

Introduce CONFIG_MEM_ALLOC_PROFILING which provides definitions to easily
instrument memory allocators.  It registers an "alloc_tags" codetag type
with /proc/allocinfo interface to output allocation tag information when
the feature is enabled.

CONFIG_MEM_ALLOC_PROFILING_DEBUG is provided for debugging the memory
allocation profiling instrumentation.

Memory allocation profiling can be enabled or disabled at runtime using
/proc/sys/vm/mem_profiling sysctl when CONFIG_MEM_ALLOC_PROFILING_DEBUG=n.
CONFIG_MEM_ALLOC_PROFILING_ENABLED_BY_DEFAULT enables memory allocation
profiling by default.

sched/fair: Check if a task has a fitting CPU when updating misfit

2024-03-25T11:09:54+00:00

If a misfit task is affined to a subset of the possible CPUs, we need to
verify that one of these CPUs can fit it. Otherwise the load balancer
code will continuously trigger needlessly leading the balance_interval
to increase in return and eventually end up with a situation where real
imbalances take a long time to address because of this impossible
imbalance situation.

This can happen in Android world where it's common for background tasks
to be restricted to little cores.

Similarly if we can't fit the biggest core, triggering misfit is
pointless as it is the best we can ever get on this system.

To be able to detect that; we use asym_cap_list to iterate through
capacities in the system to see if the task is able to run at a higher
capacity level based on its p->cpus_ptr. We do that when the affinity
change, a fair task is forked, or when a task switched to fair policy.
We store the max_allowed_capacity in task_struct to allow for cheap
comparison in the fast path.

Improve check_misfit_status() function by removing redundant checks.
misfit_task_load will be 0 if the task can't move to a bigger CPU. And
nohz_balancer_kick() already checks for cpu_check_capacity() before
calling check_misfit_status().

Test:
=====

Add

	trace_printk("balance_interval = %lu\n", interval)

in get_sd_balance_interval().

run
	if [ "$MASK" != "0" ]; then
		adb shell "taskset -a $MASK cat /dev/zero > /dev/null"
	fi
	sleep 10
	// parse ftrace buffer counting the occurrence of each valaue

Where MASK is either:

	* 0: no busy task running
	* 1: busy task is pinned to 1 cpu; handled today to not cause
	  misfit
	* f: busy task pinned to little cores, simulates busy background
	  task, demonstrates the problem to be fixed

Results:
========

Note how occurrence of balance_interval = 128 overshoots for MASK = f.

2024-03-15T00:43:30+00:00

Pull MM updates from Andrew Morton:

- Sumanth Korikkar has taught s390 to allocate hotplug-time page frames
from hotplugged memory rather than only from main memory. Series
"implement "memmap on memory" feature on s390".

- More folio conversions from Matthew Wilcox in the series

"Convert memcontrol charge moving to use folios"
"mm: convert mm counter to take a folio"

- Chengming Zhou has optimized zswap's rbtree locking, providing
significant reductions in system time and modest but measurable
reductions in overall runtimes. The series is "mm/zswap: optimize the
scalability of zswap rb-tree".

- Chengming Zhou has also provided the series "mm/zswap: optimize zswap
lru list" which provides measurable runtime benefits in some
swap-intensive situations.

- And Chengming Zhou further optimizes zswap in the series "mm/zswap:
optimize for dynamic zswap_pools". Measured improvements are modest.

- zswap cleanups and simplifications from Yosry Ahmed in the series
"mm: zswap: simplify zswap_swapoff()".

- In the series "Add DAX ABI for memmap_on_memory", Vishal Verma has
contributed several DAX cleanups as well as adding a sysfs tunable to
control the memmap_on_memory setting when the dax device is
hotplugged as system memory.

- Johannes Weiner has added the large series "mm: zswap: cleanups",
which does that.

- More DAMON work from SeongJae Park in the series

"mm/damon: make DAMON debugfs interface deprecation unignorable"
"selftests/damon: add more tests for core functionalities and corner cases"
"Docs/mm/damon: misc readability improvements"
"mm/damon: let DAMOS feeds and tame/auto-tune itself"

- In the series "mm/mempolicy: weighted interleave mempolicy and sysfs
extension" Rakie Kim has developed a new mempolicy interleaving
policy wherein we allocate memory across nodes in a weighted fashion
rather than uniformly. This is beneficial in heterogeneous memory
environments appearing with CXL.

- Christophe Leroy has contributed some cleanup and consolidation work
against the ARM pagetable dumping code in the series "mm: ptdump:
Refactor CONFIG_DEBUG_WX and check_wx_pages debugfs attribute".

- Luis Chamberlain has added some additional xarray selftesting in the
series "test_xarray: advanced API multi-index tests".

- Muhammad Usama Anjum has reworked the selftest code to make its
human-readable output conform to the TAP ("Test Anything Protocol")
format. Amongst other things, this opens up the use of third-party
tools to parse and process out selftesting results.

- Ryan Roberts has added fork()-time PTE batching of THP ptes in the
series "mm/memory: optimize fork() with PTE-mapped THP". Mainly
targeted at arm64, this significantly speeds up fork() when the
process has a large number of pte-mapped folios.

- David Hildenbrand also gets in on the THP pte batching game in his
series "mm/memory: optimize unmap/zap with PTE-mapped THP". It
implements batching during munmap() and other pte teardown
situations. The microbenchmark improvements are nice.

- And in the series "Transparent Contiguous PTEs for User Mappings"
Ryan Roberts further utilizes arm's pte's contiguous bit ("contpte
mappings"). Kernel build times on arm64 improved nicely. Ryan's
series "Address some contpte nits" provides some followup work.

- In the series "mm/hugetlb: Restore the reservation" Breno Leitao has
fixed an obscure hugetlb race which was causing unnecessary page
faults. He has also added a reproducer under the selftest code.

- In the series "selftests/mm: Output cleanups for the compaction
test", Mark Brown did what the title claims.

- Kinsey Ho has added the series "mm/mglru: code cleanup and
refactoring".

- Even more zswap material from Nhat Pham. The series "fix and extend
zswap kselftests" does as claimed.

- In the series "Introduce cpu_dcache_is_aliasing() to fix DAX
regression" Mathieu Desnoyers has cleaned up and fixed rather a mess
in our handling of DAX on archiecctures which have virtually aliasing
data caches. The arm architecture is the main beneficiary.

- Lokesh Gidra's series "per-vma locks in userfaultfd" provides
dramatic improvements in worst-case mmap_lock hold times during
certain userfaultfd operations.

- Some page_owner enhancements and maintenance work from Oscar Salvador
in his series

"page_owner: print stacks and their outstanding allocations"
"page_owner: Fixup and cleanup"

- Uladzislau Rezki has contributed some vmalloc scalability
improvements in his series "Mitigate a vmap lock contention". It
realizes a 12x improvement for a certain microbenchmark.

- Some kexec/crash cleanup work from Baoquan He in the series "Split
crash out from kexec and clean up related config items".

- Some zsmalloc maintenance work from Chengming Zhou in the series

"mm/zsmalloc: fix and optimize objects/page migration"
"mm/zsmalloc: some cleanup for get/set_zspage_mapping()"

- Zi Yan has taught the MM to perform compaction on folios larger than
order=0. This a step along the path to implementaton of the merging
of large anonymous folios. The series is named "Enable >0 order folio
memory compaction".

- Christoph Hellwig has done quite a lot of cleanup work in the
pagecache writeback code in his series "convert write_cache_pages()
to an iterator".

- Some modest hugetlb cleanups and speedups in Vishal Moola's series
"Handle hugetlb faults under the VMA lock".

- Zi Yan has changed the page splitting code so we can split huge pages
into sizes other than order-0 to better utilize large folios. The
series is named "Split a folio to any lower order folios".

- David Hildenbrand has contributed the series "mm: remove
total_mapcount()", a cleanup.

- Matthew Wilcox has sought to improve the performance of bulk memory
freeing in his series "Rearrange batched folio freeing".

- Gang Li's series "hugetlb: parallelize hugetlb page init on boot"
provides large improvements in bootup times on large machines which
are configured to use large numbers of hugetlb pages.

- Matthew Wilcox's series "PageFlags cleanups" does that.

- Qi Zheng's series "minor fixes and supplement for ptdesc" does that
also. S390 is affected.

- Cleanups to our pagemap utility functions from Peter Xu in his series
"mm/treewide: Replace pXd_large() with pXd_leaf()".

- Nico Pache has fixed a few things with our hugepage selftests in his
series "selftests/mm: Improve Hugepage Test Handling in MM
Selftests".

- Also, of course, many singleton patches to many things. Please see
the individual changelogs for details.

sched/balancing: Rename scheduler_tick() => sched_tick()

2024-03-12T10:59:59+00:00

- Standardize on prefixing scheduler-internal functions defined
  in  with sched_*() prefix. scheduler_tick() was
  the only function using the scheduler_ prefix. Harmonize it.

- The other reason to rename it is the NOHZ scheduler tick
  handling functions are already named sched_tick_*().
  Make the 'git grep sched_tick' more meaningful.
