Commit b76437579d ("procfs: mark thread stack correctly in
proc/<pid>/maps") added [stack:TID] annotation to /proc/<pid>/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/<pid>/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/<pid>/maps (and
/proc/<pid>/numa_maps) usable again for higher thread counts.
The [stack] annotation inside /proc/<pid>/task/<tid>/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"

There are several shortcomings with the accounting of shared memory
(SysV shm, shared anonymous mapping, mapping of a tmpfs file). The
values in /proc/<pid>/status and <...>/statm don't allow to distinguish
between shmem memory and a shared mapping to a regular file, even though
theirs implication on memory usage are quite different: during reclaim,
file mapping can be dropped or written back on disk, while shmem needs a
place in swap.
Also, to distinguish the memory occupied by anonymous and file mappings,
one has to read the /proc/pid/statm file, which has a field for the file
mappings (again, including shmem) and total memory occupied by these
mappings (i.e. equivalent to VmRSS in the <...>/status file. Getting
the value for anonymous mappings only is thus not exactly user-friendly
(the statm file is intended to be rather efficiently machine-readable).
To address both of these shortcomings, this patch adds a breakdown of
VmRSS in /proc/<pid>/status via new fields RssAnon, RssFile and
RssShmem, making use of the previous preparatory patch. These fields
tell the user the memory occupied by private anonymous pages, mapped
regular files and shmem, respectively. Other existing fields in /status
and /statm files are left without change. The /statm file can be
extended in the future, if there's a need for that.
Example (part of) /proc/pid/status output including the new Rss* fields:
VmPeak: 2001008 kB
VmSize: 2001004 kB
VmLck: 0 kB
VmPin: 0 kB
VmHWM: 5108 kB
VmRSS: 5108 kB

Currently, /proc/pid/smaps will always show "Swap: 0 kB" for
shmem-backed mappings, even if the mapped portion does contain pages
that were swapped out. This is because unlike private anonymous
mappings, shmem does not change pte to swap entry, but pte_none when
swapping the page out. In the smaps page walk, such page thus looks
like it was never faulted in.
This patch changes smaps_pte_entry() to determine the swap status for
such pte_none entries for shmem mappings, similarly to how
mincore_page() does it. Swapped out shmem pages are thus accounted for.
For private mappings of tmpfs files that COWed some of the pages, swaped
out status of the original shmem pages is naturally ignored. If some of
the private copies was also swapped out, they are accounted via their
page table swap entries, so the resulting reported swap usage is then a
sum of both swapped out private copies, and swapped out shmem pages that
were not COWed. No double accounting can thus happen.
The accounting is arguably still not as precise as for private anonymous
mappings, since now we will count also pages that the process in
question never accessed, but another process populated them and then let
them become swapped out. I believe it is still less confusing and
subtle than not showing any swap usage by shmem mappings at all.
Swapped out counter might of interest of users who would like to prevent
from future swapins during performance critical operation and pre-fault
them at their convenience. Especially for larger swapped out regions
the cost of swapin is much higher than a fresh page allocation. So a
differentiation between pte_none vs. swapped out is important for those
usecases.
One downside of this patch is that it makes /proc/pid/smaps more
expensive for shmem mappings, as we consult the radix tree for each
pte_none entry, so the overal complexity is O(n*log(n)). I have
measured this on a process that creates a 2GB mapping and dirties single
pages with a stride of 2MB, and time how long does it take to cat
/proc/pid/smaps of this process 100 times.
Private anonymous mapping:
real 0m0.949s
user 0m0.116s
sys 0m0.348s
Mapping of a /dev/shm/file:
real 0m3.831s
user 0m0.180s
sys 0m3.212s
The difference is rather substantial, so the next patch will reduce the
cost for shared or read-only mappings.
In a less controlled experiment, I've gathered pids of processes on my
desktop that have either '/dev/shm/*' or 'SYSV*' in smaps. This
included the Chrome browser and some KDE processes. Again, I've run cat
/proc/pid/smaps on each 100 times.
Before this patch:
real 0m9.050s
user 0m0.518s
sys 0m8.066s
After this patch:
real 0m9.221s
user 0m0.541s
sys 0m8.187s
This suggests low impact on average systems.
Note that this patch doesn't attempt to adjust the SwapPss field for
shmem mappings, which would need extra work to determine who else could
have the pages mapped. Thus the value stays zero except for COWed
swapped out pages in a shmem mapping, which are accounted as usual.

This series is based on Jerome Marchand's [1] so let me quote the first
paragraph from there:
There are several shortcomings with the accounting of shared memory
(sysV shm, shared anonymous mapping, mapping to a tmpfs file). The
values in /proc/<pid>/status and statm don't allow to distinguish
between shmem memory and a shared mapping to a regular file, even though
their implications on memory usage are quite different: at reclaim, file
mapping can be dropped or written back on disk while shmem needs a place
in swap. As for shmem pages that are swapped-out or in swap cache, they
aren't accounted at all.
The original motivation for myself is that a customer found (IMHO
rightfully) confusing that e.g. top output for process swap usage is
unreliable with respect to swapped out shmem pages, which are not
accounted for.
The fundamental difference between private anonymous and shmem pages is
that the latter has PTE's converted to pte_none, and not swapents. As
such, they are not accounted to the number of swapents visible e.g. in
/proc/pid/status VmSwap row. It might be theoretically possible to use
swapents when swapping out shmem (without extra cost, as one has to
change all mappers anyway), and on swap in only convert the swapent for
the faulting process, leaving swapents in other processes until they
also fault (so again no extra cost). But I don't know how many
assumptions this would break, and it would be too disruptive change for
a relatively small benefit.
Instead, my approach is to document the limitation of VmSwap, and
provide means to determine the swap usage for shmem areas for those who
are interested and willing to pay the price, using /proc/pid/smaps.
Because outside of ipcs, I don't think it's possible to currently to
determine the usage at all. The previous patchset [1] did introduce new
shmem-specific fields into smaps output, and functions to determine the
values. I take a simpler approach, noting that smaps output already has
a "Swap: X kB" line, where currently X == 0 always for shmem areas. I
think we can just consider this a bug and provide the proper value by
consulting the radix tree, as e.g. mincore_page() does. In the patch
changelog I explain why this is also not perfect (and cannot be without
swapents), but still arguably much better than showing a 0.
The last two patches are adapted from Jerome's patchset and provide a
VmRSS breakdown to RssAnon, RssFile and RssShm in /proc/pid/status.
Hugh noted that this is a welcome addition, and I agree that it might
help e.g. debugging process memory usage at albeit non-zero, but still
rather low cost of extra per-mm counter and some page flag checks.
[1] http://lwn.net/Articles/611966/
This patch (of 6):
The documentation for /proc/pid/status does not mention that the value
of VmSwap counts only swapped out anonymous private pages, and not
swapped out pages of the underlying shmem objects (for shmem mappings).
This is not obvious, so document this limitation.

inode_nohighmem() is sufficient to make sure that page_get_link()
won't try to allocate a highmem page. Moreover, it is sufficient
to make sure that page_symlink/__page_symlink won't do the same
thing. However, any filesystem that manually preseeds the symlink's
page cache upon symlink(2) needs to make sure that the page it
inserts there won't be a highmem one.
Fortunately, only nfs and shmem have run afoul of that...

Problems that configfs binary attributes fix are everything that

new method: ->get_link(); replacement of ->follow_link(). The differences
are:
* inode and dentry are passed separately
* might be called both in RCU and non-RCU mode;
the former is indicated by passing it a NULL dentry.
* when called that way it isn't allowed to block
and should return ERR_PTR(-ECHILD) if it needs to be called
in non-RCU mode.
It's a flagday change - the old method is gone, all in-tree instances

Pull libnvdimm updates from Dan Williams:
"Outside of the new ACPI-NFIT hot-add support this pull request is more
notable for what it does not contain, than what it does. There were a
handful of development topics this cycle, dax get_user_pages, dax
fsync, and raw block dax, that need more more iteration and will wait
for 4.5.
The patches to make devm and the pmem driver NUMA aware have been in
-next for several weeks. The hot-add support has not, but is
contained to the NFIT driver and is passing unit tests. The coredump
support is straightforward and was looked over by Jeff. All of it has
received a 0day build success notification across 107 configs.
Summary:
- Add support for the ACPI 6.0 NFIT hot add mechanism to process
updates of the NFIT at runtime.
- Teach the coredump implementation how to filter out DAX mappings.
- Introduce NUMA hints for allocations made by the pmem driver, and

Here is a list of patches we've accumulated for GFS2 for the current upstream
merge window. There are only six patches this time:
1. A cleanup patch from Andreas to remove the gl_spin #define in favor
of its value for the sake of clarity.
2. A fix from Andy Price to mark the inode dirty during fallocate.
3. A fix from Andy Price to set s_mode on mount failures to prevent
a stack trace.
4. A patch from me to prevent a kernel BUG() in trans_add_meta/trans_add_data
due to uninitialized storage.
5. A patch from me to protecting our freeing of the in-core directory
hash table to prevent double-free.
6. A fix for a page/block rounding problem that resulted in a metadata
coherency problem when the block size != page size.
I've got a lot more patches in various stages of review and testing,
but I'm afraid they'll have to wait until the next merge window. So
next time we're likely to have a lot more.

Add two new flags to the existing coredump mechanism for ELF files to
allow us to explicitly filter DAX mappings. This is desirable because
DAX mappings, like hugetlb mappings, have the potential to be very
large.
Update the coredump_filter documentation in
Documentation/filesystems/proc.txt so that it addresses the new DAX
coredump flags. Also update the documented default value of
coredump_filter to be consistent with the core(5) man page. The
documentation being updated talks about bit 4, Dump ELF headers, which
is enabled if CONFIG_CORE_DUMP_DEFAULT_ELF_HEADERS is turned on in the
kernel config. This kernel config option defaults to "y" if both ELF
binaries and coredump are enabled.

There's an odd line about "Locked" at the head of the description of
/proc/meminfo: it seems to have strayed from /proc/PID/smaps, so lead it
back there. Move "Swap" and "SwapPss" descriptions down above it, to
match the order in the file (though "PageSize"s still undescribed).
The example of "Locked: 374 kB" (the same as Pss, neither Rss nor Size) is
so unlikely as to be misleading: just make it 0, this is /bin/bash text;
which would be "dw" (disabled write) not "de" (do not expand).

Currently there's no easy way to get per-process usage of hugetlb pages,
which is inconvenient because userspace applications which use hugetlb
typically want to control their processes on the basis of how much memory
(including hugetlb) they use. So this patch simply provides easy access
to the info via /proc/PID/status.

A dhcp server may provide parameters to a client from a pool of IP
addresses and using a shared rootfs, or provide a specific set of
parameters for a specific client, usually using the MAC address to
identify each client individually. The dhcp protocol also specifies
a client-id field which can be used to determine the correct
parameters to supply when no MAC address is available. There is
currently no way to tell the kernel to supply a specific client-id,
only the userspace dhcp clients support this feature, but this can
not be used when the network is needed before userspace is available
such as when the root filesystem is on NFS.
This patch is to be able to do something like "ip=dhcp,client_id_type,
client_id_value", as a kernel parameter to enable the kernel to

Its a bit odd that debugfs_create_bool() takes 'u32 *' as an argument,
when all it needs is a boolean pointer.
It would be better to update this API to make it accept 'bool *'
instead, as that will make it more consistent and often more convenient.
Over that bool takes just a byte.
That required updates to all user sites as well, in the same commit
updating the API. regmap core was also using
debugfs_{read|write}_file_bool(), directly and variable types were
updated for that to be bool as well.

So the /proc/PID/stat 'wchan' field (the 30th field, which contains
the absolute kernel address of the kernel function a task is blocked in)
leaks absolute kernel addresses to unprivileged user-space:
seq_put_decimal_ull(m, ' ', wchan);
The absolute address might also leak via /proc/PID/wchan as well, if
KALLSYMS is turned off or if the symbol lookup fails for some reason:
static int proc_pid_wchan(struct seq_file *m, struct pid_namespace *ns,
struct pid *pid, struct task_struct *task)
{
unsigned long wchan;
char symname[KSYM_NAME_LEN];
wchan = get_wchan(task);
if (lookup_symbol_name(wchan, symname) < 0) {
if (!ptrace_may_access(task, PTRACE_MODE_READ))
return 0;
seq_printf(m, "%lu", wchan);
} else {
seq_printf(m, "%s", symname);
}
return 0;
}
This isn't ideal, because for example it trivially leaks the KASLR offset
to any local attacker:
fomalhaut:~> printf "%016lx\n" $(cat /proc/$$/stat | cut -d' ' -f35)
ffffffff8123b380
Most real-life uses of wchan are symbolic:
ps -eo pid:10,tid:10,wchan:30,comm
and procps uses /proc/PID/wchan, not the absolute address in /proc/PID/stat:
triton:~/tip> strace -f ps -eo pid:10,tid:10,wchan:30,comm 2>&1 | grep wchan | tail -1
open("/proc/30833/wchan", O_RDONLY) = 6
There's one compatibility quirk here: procps relies on whether the
absolute value is non-zero - and we can provide that functionality
by outputing "0" or "1" depending on whether the task is blocked
(whether there's a wchan address).
These days there appears to be very little legitimate reason
user-space would be interested in the absolute address. The
absolute address is mostly historic: from the days when we
didn't have kallsyms and user-space procps had to do the
decoding itself via the System.map.
So this patch sets all numeric output to "0" or "1" and keeps only
symbolic output, in /proc/PID/wchan.
( The absolute sleep address can generally still be profiled via
perf, by tasks with sufficient privileges. )

We want to know per-process workingset size for smart memory management
on userland and we use swap(ex, zram) heavily to maximize memory
efficiency so workingset includes swap as well as RSS.
On such system, if there are lots of shared anonymous pages, it's really
hard to figure out exactly how many each process consumes memory(ie, rss
+ wap) if the system has lots of shared anonymous memory(e.g, android).
This patch introduces SwapPss field on /proc/<pid>/smaps so we can get
more exact workingset size per process.

The functionality of ext3 is fully supported by ext4 driver. Major
distributions (SUSE, RedHat) already use ext4 driver to handle ext3
filesystems for quite some time. There is some ugliness in mm resulting
from jbd cleaning buffers in a dirty page without cleaning page dirty
bit and also support for buffer bouncing in the block layer when stable
pages are required is there only because of jbd. So let's remove the
ext3 driver. This saves us some 28k lines of duplicated code.

Mateusz Guzik reported :
Currently obtaining a new file descriptor results in locking fdtable
twice - once in order to reserve a slot and second time to fill it.
Holding the spinlock in __fd_install() is needed in case a resize is
done, or to prevent a resize.
Mateusz provided an RFC patch and a micro benchmark :
http://people.redhat.com/~mguzik/pipebench.c
A resize is an unlikely operation in a process lifetime,
as table size is at least doubled at every resize.
We can use RCU instead of the spinlock.
__fd_install() must wait if a resize is in progress.
The resize must block new __fd_install() callers from starting,
and wait that ongoing install are finished (synchronize_sched())
resize should be attempted by a single thread to not waste resources.
rcu_sched variant is used, as __fd_install() and expand_fdtable() run
from process context.
It gives us a ~30% speedup using pipebench on a dual Intel(R) Xeon(R)

a) instead of storing the symlink body (via nd_set_link()) and returning
an opaque pointer later passed to ->put_link(), ->follow_link() _stores_
that opaque pointer (into void * passed by address by caller) and returns
the symlink body. Returning ERR_PTR() on error, NULL on jump (procfs magic
symlinks) and pointer to symlink body for normal symlinks. Stored pointer
is ignored in all cases except the last one.
Storing NULL for opaque pointer (or not storing it at all) means no call
of ->put_link().
b) the body used to be passed to ->put_link() implicitly (via nameidata).
Now only the opaque pointer is. In the cases when we used the symlink body
to free stuff, ->follow_link() now should store it as opaque pointer in addition
to returning it.

Let's show locks which are associated with a file descriptor in
its fdinfo file.
Currently we don't have a reliable way to determine who holds a lock. We
can find some information in /proc/locks, but PID which is reported there
can be wrong. For example, a process takes a lock, then forks a child and
dies. In this case /proc/locks contains the parent pid, which can be
reused by another process.
$ cat /proc/locks
...
6: FLOCK ADVISORY WRITE 324 00:13:13431 0 EOF
...
$ ps -C rpcbind
PID TTY TIME CMD
332 ? 00:00:00 rpcbind
$ cat /proc/332/fdinfo/4
pos: 0
flags: 0100000
mnt_id: 22
lock: 1: FLOCK ADVISORY WRITE 324 00:13:13431 0 EOF
$ ls -l /proc/332/fd/4
lr-x------ 1 root root 64 Mar 5 14:43 /proc/332/fd/4 -> /run/rpcbind.lock
$ ls -l /proc/324/fd/
total 0
lrwx------ 1 root root 64 Feb 27 14:50 0 -> /dev/pts/0
lrwx------ 1 root root 64 Feb 27 14:50 1 -> /dev/pts/0
lrwx------ 1 root root 64 Feb 27 14:49 2 -> /dev/pts/0
You can see that the process with the 324 pid doesn't hold the lock.
This information is required for proper dumping and restoring file
locks.

This will allow FS that uses VM_PFNMAP | VM_MIXEDMAP (no page structs) to
get notified when access is a write to a read-only PFN.
This can happen if we mmap() a file then first mmap-read from it to
page-in a read-only PFN, than we mmap-write to the same page.
We need this functionality to fix a DAX bug, where in the scenario above
we fail to set ctime/mtime though we modified the file. An xfstest is
attached to this patchset that shows the failure and the fix. (A DAX
patch will follow)
This functionality is extra important for us, because upon dirtying of a
pmem page we also want to RDMA the page to a remote cluster node.
We define a new pfn_mkwrite and do not reuse page_mkwrite because

audit of all page_mkwrite functions of VM_MIXEDMAP/VM_PFNMAP

DAX code (which this is for) would crash.
If we would want to reuse page_mkwrite, We will need to first
patch all users, so to not-crash-on-no-page. Then enable this
patch. But even if I did that I would not sleep so well at night.
Adding a new vector is the safest thing to do, and is not that

The output of /proc/$pid/numa_maps is in terms of number of pages like
anon=22 or dirty=54. Here's some output:
7f4680000000 default file=/hugetlb/bigfile anon=50 dirty=50 N0=50
7f7659600000 default file=/anon_hugepage\040(deleted) anon=50 dirty=50 N0=50
7fff8d425000 default stack anon=50 dirty=50 N0=50
Looks like we have a stack and a couple of anonymous hugetlbfs
areas page which both use the same amount of memory. They don't.
The 'bigfile' uses 1GB pages and takes up ~50GB of space. The
anon_hugepage uses 2MB pages and takes up ~100MB of space while the stack
uses normal 4k pages. You can go over to smaps to figure out what the
page size _really_ is with KernelPageSize or MMUPageSize. But, I think
this is a pretty nasty and counterintuitive interface as it stands.
This patch introduces 'kernelpagesize_kB' line element to
/proc/<pid>/numa_maps report file in order to help identifying the size of
pages that are backing memory areas mapped by a given task. This is
specially useful to help differentiating between HUGE and GIGANTIC page
backed VMAs.
This patch is based on Dave Hansen's proposal and reviewer's follow-ups
taken from the following dicussion threads:

Pull nfsd updates from Bruce Fields:
"The main change is the pNFS block server support from Christoph, which
allows an NFS client connected to shared disk to do block IO to the
shared disk in place of NFS reads and writes. This also requires xfs
patches, which should arrive soon through the xfs tree, barring
unexpected problems. Support for other filesystems is also possible
if there's interest.

This patch introduces a batched trimming feature, which submits split discard
commands.
This is to avoid long latency due to huge trim commands.
If fstrim was triggered ranging from 0 to the end of device, we should lock
all the checkpoint-related mutexes, resulting in very long latency.

Merge misc updates from Andrew Morton:
"Bite-sized chunks this time, to avoid the MTA ratelimiting woes.
- fs/notify updates
- ocfs2
- some of MM"
That laconic "some MM" is mainly the removal of remap_file_pages(),
which is a big simplification of the VM, and which gets rid of a *lot*
of random cruft and special cases because we no longer support the
non-linear mappings that it used.
From a user interface perspective, nothing has changed, because the
remap_file_pages() syscall still exists, it's just done by emulating the
old behavior by creating a lot of individual small mappings instead of
one non-linear one.
The emulation is slower than the old "native" non-linear mappings, but
nobody really uses or cares about remap_file_pages(), and simplifying
the VM is a big advantage.

- fix memory leaks and deadlocks
But also, there are a couple of new features:
- support inline_dir to store dentries inside inode page
- add -o fastboot to reduce booting time
- implement -o dirsync
And a lot of clean-ups and minor bug fixes as well"

Some distributions carry an "old" format of overlayfs while mainline has a
"new" format.
The distros will possibly want to keep the old overlayfs alongside the new
for compatibility reasons.
To make it possible to differentiate the two versions change the name of
the new one from "overlayfs" to "overlay".

Pull the beginning of seq_file cleanup from Steven:
"I'm looking to clean up the seq_file code and to eventually merge the
trace_seq code with seq_file as well, since they basically do the same thing.
Part of this process is to remove the return code of seq_printf() and friends
as they are rather inconsistent. It is better to use the new function
seq_has_overflowed() if you want to stop processing when the buffer
is full. Note, if the buffer is full, the seq_file code will throw away
the contents, allocate a bigger buffer, and then call your code again
to fill in the data. The only thing that breaking out of the function
early does is to save a little time which is probably never noticed.
I started with patches from Joe Perches and modified them as well.
There's many more places that need to be updated before we can convert
seq_printf() and friends to return void. But this patch set introduces
the seq_has_overflowed() and does some initial updates."
