2011-07-26mmap: fix and tidy up overcommit page arithmeticDmitry Fink
- shmem pages are not immediately available, but they are not potentially available either, even if we swap them out, they will just relocate from memory into swap, total amount of immediate and potentially available memory is not going to be affected, so we shouldn't count them as potentially free in the first place. - nr_free_pages() is not an expensive operation anymore, there is no need to split the decision making in two halves and repeat code.

2011-07-09mm/nommu.c: fix remap_pfn_range()Bob Liu
remap_pfn_range() means map physical address pfn<<PAGE_SHIFT to user addr. For nommu arch it's implemented by vma->vm_start = pfn << PAGE_SHIFT which is wrong acroding the original meaning of this function. And some driver developer using remap_pfn_range() with correct parameter will get unexpected result because vm_start is changed. It should be implementd like addr = pfn << PAGE_SHIFT but which is meanless on nommu arch, this patch just make it simply return. Parameter name and setting of vma->vm_flags also be fixed.

2011-06-22ptrace: kill trivial tracehooksTejun Heo
At this point, tracehooks aren't useful to mainline kernel and mostly just add an extra layer of obfuscation. Although they have comments, without actual in-kernel users, it is difficult to tell what are their assumptions and they're actually trying to achieve. To mainline kernel, they just aren't worth keeping around. This patch kills the following trivial tracehooks. * Ones testing whether task is ptraced.

2011-05-25nommu: add page alignment to mmapBob Liu
Currently on nommu arch mmap(),mremap() and munmap() doesn't do page_align() which isn't consist with mmu arch and cause some issues. First, some drivers' mmap() function depends on vma->vm_end - vma->start is page aligned which is true on mmu arch but not on nommu. eg: uvc camera driver. Second munmap() may return -EINVAL[split file] error in cases when end is not page aligned(passed into from userspace) but vma->vm_end is aligned dure to split or driver's mmap() ops. Add page alignment to fix those issues.

2011-05-25mm: nommu: sort mm->mmap list properlyNamhyung Kim
When I was reading nommu code, I found that it handles the vma list/tree in an unusual way. IIUC, because there can be more than one identical/overrapped vmas in the list/tree, it sorts the tree more strictly and does a linear search on the tree. But it doesn't applied to the list (i.e. the list could be constructed in a different order than the tree so that we can't use the list when finding the first vma in that order). Since inserting/sorting a vma in the tree and link is done at the same time, we can easily construct both of them in the same order. And linear searching on the tree could be more costly than doing it on the list, it can be converted to use the list. Also, after the commit 297c5eee3724 ("mm: make the vma list be doubly linked") made the list be doubly linked, there were a couple of code need to be fixed to construct the list properly. Patch 1/6 is a preparation. It maintains the list sorted same as the tree and construct doubly-linked list properly. Patch 2/6 is a simple optimization for the vma deletion. Patch 3/6 and 4/6 convert tree traversal to list traversal and the rest are simple fixes and cleanups. This patch: @vma added into @mm should be sorted by start addr, end addr and VMA struct addr in that order because we may get identical VMAs in the @mm. However this was true only for the rbtree, not for the list. This patch fixes this by remembering 'rb_prev' during the tree traversal like find_vma_prepare() does and linking the @vma via __vma_link_list(). After this patch, we can iterate the whole VMAs in correct order simply by using @mm->mmap list.

2011-05-25arch, mm: filter disallowed nodes from arch specific show_mem functionsDavid Rientjes
Architectures that implement their own show_mem() function did not pass the filter argument to show_free_areas() to appropriately avoid emitting the state of nodes that are disallowed in the current context. This patch now passes the filter argument to show_free_areas() so those nodes are now avoided. This patch also removes the show_free_areas() wrapper around __show_free_areas() and converts existing callers to pass an empty filter. ia64 emits additional information for each node, so skip_free_areas_zone() must be made global to filter disallowed nodes and it is converted to use a nid argument rather than a zone for this use case.

2010-03-06mm: change anon_vma linking to fix multi-process server scalability issueRik van Riel
The old anon_vma code can lead to scalability issues with heavily forking workloads. Specifically, each anon_vma will be shared between the parent process and all its child processes. In a workload with 1000 child processes and a VMA with 1000 anonymous pages per process that get COWed, this leads to a system with a million anonymous pages in the same anon_vma, each of which is mapped in just one of the 1000 processes. However, the current rmap code needs to walk them all, leading to O(N) scanning complexity for each page. This can result in systems where one CPU is walking the page tables of 1000 processes in page_referenced_one, while all other CPUs are stuck on the anon_vma lock. This leads to catastrophic failure for a benchmark like AIM7, where the total number of processes can reach in the tens of thousands. Real workloads are still a factor 10 less process intensive than AIM7, but they are catching up. This patch changes the way anon_vmas and VMAs are linked, which allows us to associate multiple anon_vmas with a VMA. At fork time, each child process gets its own anon_vmas, in which its COWed pages will be instantiated. The parents' anon_vma is also linked to the VMA, because non-COWed pages could be present in any of the children. This reduces rmap scanning complexity to O(1) for the pages of the 1000 child processes, with O(N) complexity for at most 1/N pages in the system. This reduces the average scanning cost in heavily forking workloads from O(N) to 2. The only real complexity in this patch stems from the fact that linking a VMA to anon_vmas now involves memory allocations. This means vma_adjust can fail, if it needs to attach a VMA to anon_vma structures. This in turn means error handling needs to be added to the calling functions. A second source of complexity is that, because there can be multiple anon_vmas, the anon_vma linking in vma_adjust can no longer be done under "the" anon_vma lock. To prevent the rmap code from walking up an incomplete VMA, this patch introduces the VM_LOCK_RMAP VMA flag. This bit flag uses the same slot as the NOMMU VM_MAPPED_COPY, with an ifdef in mm.h to make sure it is impossible to compile a kernel that needs both symbolic values for the same bitflag. Some test results: Without the anon_vma changes, when AIM7 hits around 9.7k users (on a test box with 16GB RAM and not quite enough IO), the system ends up running >99% in system time, with every CPU on the same anon_vma lock in the pageout code. With these changes, AIM7 hits the cross-over point around 29.7k users. This happens with ~99% IO wait time, there never seems to be any spike in system time.

2010-01-16nommu: fix shared mmap after truncate shrinkage problemsDavid Howells
Fix a problem in NOMMU mmap with ramfs whereby a shared mmap can happen over the end of a truncation. The problem is that ramfs_nommu_check_mappings() checks that the reduced file size against the VMA tree, but not the vm_region tree. The following sequence of events can cause the problem: fd = open("/tmp/x", O_RDWR|O_TRUNC|O_CREAT, 0600); ftruncate(fd, 32 * 1024); a = mmap(NULL, 32 * 1024, PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE, MAP_SHARED, fd, 0); b = mmap(NULL, 16 * 1024, PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE, MAP_SHARED, fd, 0); munmap(a, 32 * 1024); ftruncate(fd, 16 * 1024); c = mmap(NULL, 32 * 1024, PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE, MAP_SHARED, fd, 0); Mapping 'a' creates a vm_region covering 32KB of the file. Mapping 'b' sees that the vm_region from 'a' is covering the region it wants and so shares it, pinning it in memory. Mapping 'a' then goes away and the file is truncated to the end of VMA 'b'. However, the region allocated by 'a' is still in effect, and has _not_ been reduced. Mapping 'c' is then created, and because there's a vm_region covering the desired region, get_unmapped_area() is _not_ called to repeat the check, and the mapping is granted, even though the pages from the latter half of the mapping have been discarded. However: d = mmap(NULL, 16 * 1024, PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE, MAP_SHARED, fd, 0); Mapping 'd' should work, and should end up sharing the region allocated by 'a'. To deal with this, we shrink the vm_region struct during the truncation, lest do_mmap_pgoff() take it as licence to share the full region automatically without calling the get_unmapped_area() file op again.

2010-01-16nommu: remove a superfluous check of vm_region::vm_usageDavid Howells
In split_vma(), there's no need to check if the VMA being split has a region that's in use by more than one VMA because: (1) The preceding test prohibits splitting of non-anonymous VMAs and regions (eg: file or chardev backed VMAs). (2) Anonymous regions can't be mapped multiple times because there's no handle by which to refer to the already existing region. (3) If a VMA has previously been split, then the region backing it has also been split into two regions, each of usage 1.

2010-01-07NOMMU: Use copy_*_user_page() in access_process_vm()Jie Zhang
The MMU code uses the copy_*_user_page() variants in access_process_vm() rather than copy_*_user() as the former includes an icache flush. This is important when doing things like setting software breakpoints with gdb. So switch the NOMMU code over to do the same. This patch makes the reasonable assumption that copy_from_user_page() won't fail - which is probably fine, as we've checked the VMA from which we're copying is usable, and the copy is not allowed to cross VMAs. The one case where it might go wrong is if the VMA is a device rather than RAM, and that device returns an error which - in which case rubbish will be returned rather than EIO.

2010-01-07NOMMU: Avoiding duplicate icache flushes of shared mapsMike Frysinger
When working with FDPIC, there are many shared mappings of read-only code regions between applications (the C library, applet packages like busybox, etc.), but the current do_mmap_pgoff() function will issue an icache flush whenever a VMA is added to an MM instead of only doing it when the map is initially created. The flush can instead be done when a region is first mmapped PROT_EXEC. Note that we may not rely on the first mapping of a region being executable - it's possible for it to be PROT_READ only, so we have to remember whether we've flushed the region or not, and then flush the entire region when a bit of it is made executable. However, this also affects the brk area. That will no longer be executable. We can mprotect() it to PROT_EXEC on MPU-mode kernels, but for NOMMU mode kernels, when it increases the brk allocation, making sys_brk() flush the extra from the icache should suffice. The brk area probably isn't used by NOMMU programs since the brk area can only use up the leavings from the stack allocation, where the stack allocation is larger than requested.

Revert mm/util.c to how it was in 2.6.32. This patch just ignores MAP_HUGETLB in the nommu case, as in 2.6.32, whereas 2.6.33-rc2 reported -ENOSYS.

2009-12-15nommu: fix malloc performance by adding uninitialized flagJie Zhang
The NOMMU code currently clears all anonymous mmapped memory. While this is what we want in the default case, all memory allocation from userspace under NOMMU has to go through this interface, including malloc() which is allowed to return uninitialized memory. This can easily be a significant performance penalty. So for constrained embedded systems were security is irrelevant, allow people to avoid clearing memory unnecessarily. This also alters the ELF-FDPIC binfmt such that it obtains uninitialised memory for the brk and stack region.

Don't pass NULL pointers to fput() in the error handling paths of the NOMMU do_mmap_pgoff() as it can't handle it. The following can be used as a test program: int main() { static long long a[1024 * 1024 * 20] = { 0 }; return a;} Without the patch, the code oopses in atomic_long_dec_and_test() as called by fput() after the kernel complains that it can't allocate that big a chunk of memory. With the patch, the kernel just complains about the allocation size and then the program segfaults during execve() as execve() can't complete the allocation of all the new ELF program segments.

2009-09-25NOMMU: Fix MAP_PRIVATE mmap() of objects where the data can be mapped directlyDavid Howells
Fix MAP_PRIVATE mmap() of files and devices where the data in the backing store might be mapped directly. Use the BDI_CAP_MAP_DIRECT capability flag to govern whether or not we should be trying to map a file directly. This can be used to determine whether or not a region has been filled in at the point where we call do_mmap_shared() or do_mmap_private(). The BDI_CAP_MAP_DIRECT capability flag is cleared by validate_mmap_request() if there's any reason we can't use it. It's also cleared in do_mmap_pgoff() if f_op->get_unmapped_area() fails. Without this fix, attempting to run a program from a RomFS image on a non-mappable MTD partition results in a BUG as the kernel attempts XIP, and this can be caught in gdb: Program received signal SIGABRT, Aborted. 0xc005dce8 in add_nommu_region (region=<value optimized out>) at mm/nommu.c:547 (gdb) bt #0 0xc005dce8 in add_nommu_region (region=<value optimized out>) at mm/nommu.c:547 #1 0xc005f168 in do_mmap_pgoff (file=0xc31a6620, addr=<value optimized out>, len=3808, prot=3, flags=6146, pgoff=0) at mm/nommu.c:1373 #2 0xc00a96b8 in elf_fdpic_map_file (params=0xc33fbbec, file=0xc31a6620, mm=0xc31bef60, what=0xc0213144 "executable") at mm.h:1145 #3 0xc00aa8b4 in load_elf_fdpic_binary (bprm=0xc316cb00, regs=<value optimized out>) at fs/binfmt_elf_fdpic.c:343 #4 0xc006b588 in search_binary_handler (bprm=0x6, regs=0xc33fbce0) at fs/exec.c:1234 #5 0xc006c648 in do_execve (filename=<value optimized out>, argv=0xc3ad14cc, envp=0xc3ad1460, regs=0xc33fbce0) at fs/exec.c:1356 #6 0xc0008cf0 in sys_execve (name=<value optimized out>, argv=0xc3ad14cc, envp=0xc3ad1460) at arch/frv/kernel/process.c:263 #7 0xc00075dc in __syscall_call () at arch/frv/kernel/entry.S:897 Note that this fix does the following commit differently: commit a190887b58c32d19c2eee007c5eb8faa970a69ba Author: David Howells <dhowells@redhat.com> Date: Sat Sep 5 11:17:07 2009 -0700 nommu: fix error handling in do_mmap_pgoff() Reported-by: Graff Yang <graff.yang@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: David Howells <dhowells@redhat.com> Acked-by: Pekka Enberg <penberg@cs.helsinki.fi> Cc: Paul Mundt <lethal@linux-sh.org> Cc: Mel Gorman <mel@csn.ul.ie> Cc: Greg Ungerer <gerg@snapgear.com> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
