If the offset reaches the last mapped\naddress of the mm then it then it starts over at the first\naddress.\n\nThe per-task nature of the working set sampling functionality in this tree\nallows such constant rate, per task, execution-weight proportional sampling\nof the working set, with an adaptive sampling interval/frequency that\ngoes from once per 100ms up to just once per 8 seconds. The current\nsampling volume is 256 MB per interval.\n\nAs tasks mature and converge their working set, so does the\nsampling rate slow down to just a trickle, 256 MB per 8\nseconds of CPU time executed.\n\nThis, beyond being adaptive, also rate-limits rarely\nexecuting systems and does not over-sample on overloaded\nsystems.\n\n[ In AutoNUMA speak, this patch deals with the effective sampling\n rate of the \u0027hinting page fault\u0027. AutoNUMA\u0027s scanning is\n currently rate-limited, but it is also fundamentally\n single-threaded, executing in the knuma_scand kernel thread,\n so the limit in AutoNUMA is global and does not scale up with\n the number of CPUs, nor does it scan tasks in an execution\n proportional manner.\n\n So the idea of rate-limiting the scanning was first implemented\n in the AutoNUMA tree via a global rate limit. This patch goes\n beyond that by implementing an execution rate proportional\n working set sampling rate that is not implemented via a single\n global scanning daemon. ]\n\n[ Dan Carpenter pointed out a possible NULL pointer dereference in the\n first version of this patch. ]\n\nBased-on-idea-by: Andrea Arcangeli \u003caarcange@redhat.com\u003e\nBug-Found-By: Dan Carpenter \u003cdan.carpenter@oracle.com\u003e\nSigned-off-by: Peter Zijlstra \u003ca.p.zijlstra@chello.nl\u003e\nCc: Linus Torvalds \u003ctorvalds@linux-foundation.org\u003e\nCc: Andrew Morton \u003cakpm@linux-foundation.org\u003e\nCc: Peter Zijlstra \u003ca.p.zijlstra@chello.nl\u003e\nCc: Andrea Arcangeli \u003caarcange@redhat.com\u003e\nCc: Rik van Riel \u003criel@redhat.com\u003e\n[ Wrote changelog and fixed bug. ]\nSigned-off-by: Ingo Molnar \u003cmingo@kernel.org\u003e\nSigned-off-by: Mel Gorman \u003cmgorman@suse.de\u003e\nReviewed-by: Rik van Riel \u003criel@redhat.com\u003e\n" }, { "commit": "cbee9f88ec1b8dd6b58f25f54e4f52c82ed77690", "tree": "d4cfbcfa3e89742216cd792d4aa914356406b532", "parents": [ "a720094ded8cbb303111035be91858011d2eac71" ], "author": { "name": "Peter Zijlstra", "email": "a.p.zijlstra@chello.nl", "time": "Thu Oct 25 14:16:43 2012 +0200" }, "committer": { "name": "Mel Gorman", "email": "mgorman@suse.de", "time": "Tue Dec 11 14:42:45 2012 +0000" }, "message": "mm: numa: Add fault driven placement and migration\n\nNOTE: This patch is based on \"sched, numa, mm: Add fault driven\n\tplacement and migration policy\" but as it throws away all the policy\n\tto just leave a basic foundation I had to drop the signed-offs-by.\n\nThis patch creates a bare-bones method for setting PTEs pte_numa in the\ncontext of the scheduler that when faulted later will be faulted onto the\nnode the CPU is running on.

The only difference is that\ncertain configurations are more likely to expose it.\n\nSo as Siddhesh correctly analyzed the following check in\nfutex_lock_pi_atomic() is the culprit:\n\n\tif (unlikely(ownerdied || !(curval \u0026 FUTEX_TID_MASK))) {\n\nWe check the userspace value for a TID value of 0 and take over the\nfutex unconditionally if that\u0027s true.\n\nAFAICT this check is there as it is correct for a different corner\ncase of futexes: the WAITERS bit became stale.\n\nNow the proposed change\n\n-\tif (unlikely(ownerdied || !(curval \u0026 FUTEX_TID_MASK))) {\n+ if (unlikely(ownerdied ||\n+ !(curval \u0026 (FUTEX_TID_MASK | FUTEX_WAITERS)))) {\n\nsolves the problem, but it\u0027s not obvious why and it wreckages the\n\"stale WAITERS bit\" case.\n\nWhat happens is, that due to the WAITERS bit being set (T2 is blocked\non that futex) it enforces T3 to go through lookup_pi_state(), which\nin the above case returns an existing pi_state and therefor forces T3\nto legitimately fight with T2 over the ownership of the pi_state (via\npi_state-\u003emutex). Probelm solved!\n\nThough that does not work for the \"WAITERS bit is stale\" problem\nbecause if lookup_pi_state() does not find existing pi_state it\nreturns -ERSCH (due to TID \u003d\u003d 0) which causes futex_lock_pi() to\nreturn -ESRCH to user space because the OWNER_DIED bit is not set.\n\nNow there is a different solution to that problem. Do not look at the\nuser space value at all and enforce a lookup of possibly available\npi_state. If pi_state can be found, then the new incoming locker T3\nblocks on that pi_state and legitimately races with T2 to acquire the\nrt_mutex and the pi_state and therefor the proper ownership of the\nuser space futex.\n\nlookup_pi_state() has the correct order of checks. It first tries to\nfind a pi_state associated with the user space futex and only if that\nfails it checks for futex TID value \u003d 0. If no pi_state is available\nnothing can create new state at that point because this happens with\nthe hash bucket lock held.\n\nSo the above scenario changes to:\n\nT1 lock_futex_pi(F);\n\nT2 lock_futex_pi(F);\n --\u003e T2 blocks on the futex and creates pi_state which is associated\n to T1.\n\nT1 exits\n --\u003e exit_robust_list() runs\n --\u003e Futex F userspace value TID field is set to 0 and\n FUTEX_OWNER_DIED bit is set.\n\nT3 lock_futex_pi(F);\n --\u003e Finds pi_state and blocks on pi_state-\u003ert_mutex\n\nT1 --\u003e exit_pi_state_list()\n --\u003e Transfers pi_state to waiter T2 and wakes it via\n \t rt_mutex_unlock(\u0026pi_state-\u003emutex)\n\nT2 --\u003e acquires pi_state-\u003emutex and gains ownership of the pi_state\n --\u003e Claims ownership of the futex and sets its own TID into the\n userspace TID field of futex F\n --\u003e returns to user space\n\nThis covers all gazillion points on which T3 might come in between\nT1\u0027s exit_robust_list() clearing the TID field and T2 fixing it up. It\nalso solves the \"WAITERS bit stale\" problem by forcing the take over.\n\nAnother benefit of changing the code this way is that it makes it less\ndependent on untrusted user space values and therefor minimizes the\npossible wreckage which might be inflicted.\n\nAs usual after staring for too long at the futex code my brain hurts\nso much that I really want to ditch that whole optimization of\navoiding the syscall for the non contended case for PI futexes and rip\nout the maze of corner case handling code. Unfortunately we can\u0027t as\nuser space relies on that existing behaviour, but at least thinking\nabout it helps me to preserve my mental sanity. Maybe we should\nnevertheless :)\n\nReported-and-tested-by: Siddhesh Poyarekar \u003csiddhesh.poyarekar@gmail.com\u003e\nLink: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/alpine.LFD.2.02.1210232138540.2756@ionos\nAcked-by: Darren Hart \u003cdvhart@linux.intel.com\u003e\nCc: stable@vger.kernel.org\nSigned-off-by: Thomas Gleixner \u003ctglx@linutronix.de\u003e\n" }, { "commit": "59ef28b1f14899b10d6b2682c7057ca00a9a3f47", "tree": "68ad548001fb24c0e63e1758d368a746998feb05", "parents": [ "bc909421a9c7083fcde795846d22b36a51a7be54" ], "author": { "name": "Rusty Russell", "email": "rusty@rustcorp.com.au", "time": "Thu Oct 25 10:49:25 2012 +1030" }, "committer": { "name": "Rusty Russell", "email": "rusty@rustcorp.com.au", "time": "Wed Oct 31 13:56:37 2012 +1030" }, "message": "module: fix out-by-one error in kallsyms\n\nMasaki found and patched a kallsyms issue: the last symbol in a\nmodule\u0027s symtab wasn\u0027t transferred.

Plus it\nresets mm-\u003eexe_file at last mmput() when mm-\u003emm_users drops to zero.\n\nVMA with VM_EXECUTABLE flag appears after mapping file with flag\nMAP_EXECUTABLE, such vmas can appears only at sys_execve() or after vma\nsplitting, because sys_mmap ignores this flag. Usually binfmt module sets\nmm-\u003eexe_file and mmaps executable vmas with this file, they hold\nmm-\u003eexe_file while task is running.\n\ncomment from v2.6.25-6245-g925d1c4 (\"procfs task exe symlink\"),\nwhere all this stuff was introduced:\n\n\u003e The kernel implements readlink of /proc/pid/exe by getting the file from\n\u003e the first executable VMA. Then the path to the file is reconstructed and\n\u003e reported as the result.\n\u003e\n\u003e Because of the VMA walk the code is slightly different on nommu systems.\n\u003e This patch avoids separate /proc/pid/exe code on nommu systems. Instead of\n\u003e walking the VMAs to find the first executable file-backed VMA we store a\n\u003e reference to the exec\u0027d file in the mm_struct.\n\u003e\n\u003e That reference would prevent the filesystem holding the executable file\n\u003e from being unmounted even after unmapping the VMAs. So we track the number\n\u003e of VM_EXECUTABLE VMAs and drop the new reference when the last one is\n\u003e unmapped. This avoids pinning the mounted filesystem.\n\nexe_file\u0027s vma accounting is hooked into every file mmap/unmmap and vma\nsplit/merge just to fix some hypothetical pinning fs from umounting by mm,\nwhich already unmapped all its executable files, but still alive.\n\nSeems like currently nobody depends on this behaviour. We can try to\nremove this logic and keep mm-\u003eexe_file until final mmput().\n\nmm-\u003eexe_file is still protected with mm-\u003emmap_sem, because we want to\nchange it via new sys_prctl(PR_SET_MM_EXE_FILE). Also via this syscall\ntask can change its mm-\u003eexe_file and unpin mountpoint explicitly.\n\nSigned-off-by: Konstantin Khlebnikov \u003ckhlebnikov@openvz.org\u003e\nCc: Alexander Viro \u003cviro@zeniv.linux.org.uk\u003e\nCc: Carsten Otte \u003ccotte@de.ibm.com\u003e\nCc: Chris Metcalf \u003ccmetcalf@tilera.com\u003e\nCc: Cyrill Gorcunov \u003cgorcunov@openvz.org\u003e\nCc: Eric Paris \u003ceparis@redhat.com\u003e\nCc: H.
