65376df582 proc: revert /proc/<pid>/maps [stack:TID] annotation
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"

8cee852ec5 mm, procfs: breakdown RSS for anon, shmem and file in /proc/pid/status
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
RssAnon:              92 kB

RssShmem:           3692 kB
VmData:      192 kB
VmStk:       136 kB
VmExe:         4 kB

c261e7d94f mm, proc: account for shmem swap in /proc/pid/smaps
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.

bf9683d699 mm, documentation: clarify /proc/pid/status VmSwap limitations for shmem
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.

e8ecde25f5 Make sure that highmem pages are not added to symlink page cache
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...

ConfigFS lacked binary attributes up until now. This patch
introduces support for binary attributes in a somewhat similar
manner of sysfs binary attributes albeit with changes that
fit the configfs usage model.

Problems that configfs binary attributes fix are everything that
requires a binary blob as part of the configuration of a resource,
such as bitstream loading for FPGAs, DTBs for dynamically created
devices etc.

Look at Documentation/filesystems/configfs/configfs.txt for internals
and howto use them.

This patch is against linux-next as of today that contains

6b2553918d replace ->follow_link() with new method that could stay in RCU mode
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
converted.  Conversion isn't hard; said that, so far very few instances
do not immediately bail out when called in RCU mode.  That'll change
in the next commits.

kmap() in page_follow_link_light() needed to go - allowing to hold
an arbitrary number of kmaps for long is a great way to deadlocking

9aa3d651a9 Merge branch 'for-next' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/nab/target-pending
Pull SCSI target updates from Nicholas Bellinger:
 "This series contains HCH's changes to absorb configfs attribute
  ->show() + ->store() function pointer usage from it's original
  tree-wide consumers, into common configfs code.

  It includes usb-gadget, target w/ drivers, netconsole and ocfs2
  changes to realize the improved simplicity, that now renders the
  original include/target/configfs_macros.h CPP magic for fabric drivers
  and others, unnecessary and obsolete.

  And with common code in place, new configfs attributes can be added
  easier than ever before.

  Note, there are further improvements in-flight from other folks for
  v4.5 code in configfs land, plus number of target fixes for post -rc1
  code"

In the meantime, a new user of the now-removed old configfs API came in
through the char/misc tree in commit 7bd1d4093c ("stm class: Introduce
an abstraction for System Trace Module devices").

This merge resolution comes from Alexander Shishkin, who updated his stm
class tracing abstraction to account for the removal of the old
show_attribute and store_attribute methods in commit 517982229f
("configfs: remove old API") from this pull.  As Alexander says about
that patch:

 "There's no need to keep an extra wrapper structure per item and the
  awkward show_attribute/store_attribute item ops are no longer needed.

  This patch converts policy code to the new api, all the while making
  the code quite a bit smaller and easier on the eyes.

  Signed-off-by: Alexander Shishkin <alexander.shishkin@linux.intel.com>"

That patch was folded into the merge so that the tree should be fully
bisectable.

    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

 4. A patch from me to prevent a kernel BUG() in trans_add_meta/trans_add_data

 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.

5037835c1f coredump: add DAX filtering for ELF coredumps
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.

a5be35632c Documentation/filesystems/proc.txt: a little tidying
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).

26fb342c73 ipconfig: send Client-identifier in DHCP requests
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
identify itself to the server.

621a5f7ad9 debugfs: Pass bool pointer to debugfs_create_bool()
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.

b2f73922d1 fs/proc, core/debug: Don't expose absolute kernel addresses via wchan
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. )

8334b96221 mm: /proc/pid/smaps:: show proportional swap share of the mapping
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.

Bongkyu tested it. Result is below.

1. 50M used swap

12f03ee606 libnvdimm for 4.3:
1/ Introduce ZONE_DEVICE and devm_memremap_pages() as a generic
    mechanism for adding device-driver-discovered memory regions to the
    kernel's direct map.  This facility is used by the pmem driver to
    enable pfn_to_page() operations on the page frames returned by DAX
    ('direct_access' in 'struct block_device_operations'). For now, the
    'memmap' allocation for these "device" pages comes from "System
    RAM".  Support for allocating the memmap from device memory will
    arrive in a later kernel.
 
 2/ Introduce memremap() to replace usages of ioremap_cache() and
    ioremap_wt().  memremap() drops the __iomem annotation for these
    mappings to memory that do not have i/o side effects.  The
    replacement of ioremap_cache() with memremap() is limited to the
    pmem driver to ease merging the api change in v4.3.  Completion of
    the conversion is targeted for v4.4.

Merge tag 'libnvdimm-for-4.3' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/nvdimm/nvdimm

Pull libnvdimm updates from Dan Williams:
 "This update has successfully completed a 0day-kbuild run and has
  appeared in a linux-next release.  The changes outside of the typical
  drivers/nvdimm/ and drivers/acpi/nfit.[ch] paths are related to the
  removal of IORESOURCE_CACHEABLE, the introduction of memremap(), and
  the introduction of ZONE_DEVICE + devm_memremap_pages().

  Summary:

   - Introduce ZONE_DEVICE and devm_memremap_pages() as a generic
     mechanism for adding device-driver-discovered memory regions to the
     kernel's direct map.

     This facility is used by the pmem driver to enable pfn_to_page()
     operations on the page frames returned by DAX ('direct_access' in
     'struct block_device_operations').

     For now, the 'memmap' allocation for these "device" pages comes
     from "System RAM".  Support for allocating the memmap from device
     memory will arrive in a later kernel.

   - Introduce memremap() to replace usages of ioremap_cache() and
     ioremap_wt().  memremap() drops the __iomem annotation for these
     mappings to memory that do not have i/o side effects.  The
     replacement of ioremap_cache() with memremap() is limited to the
     pmem driver to ease merging the api change in v4.3.

     Completion of the conversion is targeted for v4.4.

   - Similar to the usage of memcpy_to_pmem() + wmb_pmem() in the pmem
     driver, update the VFS DAX implementation and PMEM api to provide
     persistence guarantees for kernel operations on a DAX mapping.

   - Convert the ACPI NFIT 'BLK' driver to map the block apertures as
     cacheable to improve performance.

   - Miscellaneous updates and fixes to libnvdimm including support for
     issuing "address range scrub" commands, clarifying the optimal
     'sector size' of pmem devices, a clarification of the usage of the
     ACPI '_STA' (status) property for DIMM devices, and other minor
     fixes"
