mm/alpha: use general page fault accounting

2020-08-12T17:58:03Z

Use the general page fault accounting by passing regs into handle_mm_fault(). Add the missing PERF_COUNT_SW_PAGE_FAULTS perf events too. Note, the other two perf events (PERF_COUNT_SW_PAGE_FAULTS_[MAJ|MIN]) were done in handle_mm_fault().

mm: do page fault accounting in handle_mm_fault

2020-08-12T17:58:02Z

Patch series "mm: Page fault accounting cleanups", v5. This is v5 of the pf accounting cleanup series. It originates from Gerald Schaefer's report on an issue a week ago regarding to incorrect page fault accountings for retried page fault after commit 4064b9827063 ("mm: allow VM_FAULT_RETRY for multiple times"): https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20200610174811.44b94525@thinkpad/ What this series did: - Correct page fault accounting: we do accounting for a page fault (no matter whether it's from #PF handling, or gup, or anything else) only with the one that completed the fault. For example, page fault retries should not be counted in page fault counters. Same to the perf events. - Unify definition of PERF_COUNT_SW_PAGE_FAULTS: currently this perf event is used in an adhoc way across different archs. Case (1): for many archs it's done at the entry of a page fault handler, so that it will also cover e.g. errornous faults. Case (2): for some other archs, it is only accounted when the page fault is resolved successfully. Case (3): there're still quite some archs that have not enabled this perf event. Since this series will touch merely all the archs, we unify this perf event to always follow case (1), which is the one that makes most sense. And since we moved the accounting into handle_mm_fault, the other two MAJ/MIN perf events are well taken care of naturally. - Unify definition of "major faults": the definition of "major fault" is slightly changed when used in accounting (not VM_FAULT_MAJOR). More information in patch 1. - Always account the page fault onto the one that triggered the page fault. This does not matter much for #PF handlings, but mostly for gup. More information on this in patch 25. Patchset layout: Patch 1: Introduced the accounting in handle_mm_fault(), not enabled. Patch 2-23: Enable the new accounting for arch #PF handlers one by one. Patch 24: Enable the new accounting for the rest outliers (gup, iommu, etc.) Patch 25: Cleanup GUP task_struct pointer since it's not needed any more This patch (of 25): This is a preparation patch to move page fault accountings into the general code in handle_mm_fault(). This includes both the per task flt_maj/flt_min counters, and the major/minor page fault perf events. To do this, the pt_regs pointer is passed into handle_mm_fault(). PERF_COUNT_SW_PAGE_FAULTS should still be kept in per-arch page fault handlers. So far, all the pt_regs pointer that passed into handle_mm_fault() is NULL, which means this patch should have no intented functional change.

mm: allow VM_FAULT_RETRY for multiple times

2020-04-02T16:35:30Z

The idea comes from a discussion between Linus and Andrea [1]. Before this patch we only allow a page fault to retry once. We achieved this by clearing the FAULT_FLAG_ALLOW_RETRY flag when doing handle_mm_fault() the second time. This was majorly used to avoid unexpected starvation of the system by looping over forever to handle the page fault on a single page. However that should hardly happen, and after all for each code path to return a VM_FAULT_RETRY we'll first wait for a condition (during which time we should possibly yield the cpu) to happen before VM_FAULT_RETRY is really returned. This patch removes the restriction by keeping the FAULT_FLAG_ALLOW_RETRY flag when we receive VM_FAULT_RETRY. It means that the page fault handler now can retry the page fault for multiple times if necessary without the need to generate another page fault event. Meanwhile we still keep the FAULT_FLAG_TRIED flag so page fault handler can still identify whether a page fault is the first attempt or not. Then we'll have these combinations of fault flags (only considering ALLOW_RETRY flag and TRIED flag): - ALLOW_RETRY and !TRIED: this means the page fault allows to retry, and this is the first try - ALLOW_RETRY and TRIED: this means the page fault allows to retry, and this is not the first try - !ALLOW_RETRY and !TRIED: this means the page fault does not allow to retry at all - !ALLOW_RETRY and TRIED: this is forbidden and should never be used In existing code we have multiple places that has taken special care of the first condition above by checking against (fault_flags & FAULT_FLAG_ALLOW_RETRY). This patch introduces a simple helper to detect the first retry of a page fault by checking against both (fault_flags & FAULT_FLAG_ALLOW_RETRY) and !(fault_flag & FAULT_FLAG_TRIED) because now even the 2nd try will have the ALLOW_RETRY set, then use that helper in all existing special paths. One example is in __lock_page_or_retry(), now we'll drop the mmap_sem only in the first attempt of page fault and we'll keep it in follow up retries, so old locking behavior will be retained. This will be a nice enhancement for current code [2] at the same time a supporting material for the future userfaultfd-writeprotect work, since in that work there will always be an explicit userfault writeprotect retry for protected pages, and if that cannot resolve the page fault (e.g., when userfaultfd-writeprotect is used in conjunction with swapped pages) then we'll possibly need a 3rd retry of the page fault. It might also benefit other potential users who will have similar requirement like userfault write-protection. GUP code is not touched yet and will be covered in follow up patch.

mm: introduce FAULT_FLAG_DEFAULT

2020-04-02T16:35:29Z

Although there're tons of arch-specific page fault handlers, most of them are still sharing the same initial value of the page fault flags. Say, merely all of the page fault handlers would allow the fault to be retried, and they also allow the fault to respond to SIGKILL. Let's define a default value for the fault flags to replace those initial page fault flags that were copied over. With this, it'll be far easier to introduce new fault flag that can be used by all the architectures instead of touching all the archs.

mm: introduce fault_signal_pending()

2020-04-02T16:35:29Z

For most architectures, we've got a quick path to detect fatal signal after a handle_mm_fault(). Introduce a helper for that quick path. It cleans the current codes a bit so we don't need to duplicate the same check across archs. More importantly, this will be an unified place that we handle the signal immediately right after an interrupted page fault, so it'll be much easier for us if we want to change the behavior of handling signals later on for all the archs. Note that currently only part of the archs are using this new helper, because some archs have their own way to handle signals. In the follow up patches, we'll try to apply this helper to all the rest of archs. Another note is that the "regs" parameter in the new helper is not used yet. It'll be used very soon. Now we kept it in this patch only to avoid touching all the archs again in the follow up patches.

signal: Remove the task parameter from force_sig_fault

2019-05-29T14:31:43Z

As synchronous exceptions really only make sense against the current task (otherwise how are you synchronous) remove the task parameter from from force_sig_fault to make it explicit that is what is going on. The two known exceptions that deliver a synchronous exception to a stopped ptraced task have already been changed to force_sig_fault_to_task. The callers have been changed with the following emacs regular expression (with obvious variations on the architectures that take more arguments) to avoid typos: force_sig_fault[(]\([^,]+\)[,]\([^,]+\)[,]\([^,]+\)[,]\W+current[)] -> force_sig_fault(\1,\2,\3) Signed-off-by: "Eric W.

alpha: fix page fault handling for r16-r18 targets

2019-02-11T04:42:23Z

Fix page fault handling code to fixup r16-r18 registers. Before the patch code had off-by-two registers bug. This bug caused overwriting of ps,pc,gp registers instead of fixing intended r16,r17,r18 (see `struct pt_regs`). More details: Initially Dmitry noticed a kernel bug as a failure on strace test suite. Test passes unmapped userspace pointer to io_submit: ```c #include #include #include #include int main(void) { unsigned long ctx = 0; if (syscall(__NR_io_setup, 1, &ctx)) err(1, "io_setup"); const size_t page_size = sysconf(_SC_PAGESIZE); const size_t size = page_size * 2; void *ptr = mmap(NULL, size, PROT_READ | PROT_WRITE, MAP_PRIVATE | MAP_ANONYMOUS, -1, 0); if (MAP_FAILED == ptr) err(1, "mmap(%zu)", size); if (munmap(ptr, size)) err(1, "munmap"); syscall(__NR_io_submit, ctx, 1, ptr + page_size); syscall(__NR_io_destroy, ctx); return 0; } ``` Running this test causes kernel to crash when handling page fault: ``` Unable to handle kernel paging request at virtual address ffffffffffff9468 CPU 3 aio(26027): Oops 0 pc = [] ra = [] ps = 0000 Not tainted pc is at sys_io_submit+0x108/0x200 ra is at sys_io_submit+0x6c/0x200 v0 = fffffc00c58e6300 t0 = fffffffffffffff2 t1 = 000002000025e000 t2 = fffffc01f159fef8 t3 = fffffc0001009640 t4 = fffffc0000e0f6e0 t5 = 0000020001002e9e t6 = 4c41564e49452031 t7 = fffffc01f159c000 s0 = 0000000000000002 s1 = 000002000025e000 s2 = 0000000000000000 s3 = 0000000000000000 s4 = 0000000000000000 s5 = fffffffffffffff2 s6 = fffffc00c58e6300 a0 = fffffc00c58e6300 a1 = 0000000000000000 a2 = 000002000025e000 a3 = 00000200001ac260 a4 = 00000200001ac1e8 a5 = 0000000000000001 t8 = 0000000000000008 t9 = 000000011f8bce30 t10= 00000200001ac440 t11= 0000000000000000 pv = fffffc00006fd320 at = 0000000000000000 gp = 0000000000000000 sp = 00000000265fd174 Disabling lock debugging due to kernel taint Trace: [] entSys+0xa4/0xc0 ``` Here `gp` has invalid value. `gp is s overwritten by a fixup for the following page fault handler in `io_submit` syscall handler: ``` __se_sys_io_submit ... ldq a1,0(t1) bne t0,4280 <__se_sys_io_submit+0x180> ``` After a page fault `t0` should contain -EFALUT and `a1` is 0. Instead `gp` was overwritten in place of `a1`. This happens due to a off-by-two bug in `dpf_reg()` for `r16-r18` (aka `a0-a2`). I think the bug went unnoticed for a long time as `gp` is one of scratch registers. Any kernel function call would re-calculate `gp`. Dmitry tracked down the bug origin back to 2.1.32 kernel version where trap_a{0,1,2} fields were inserted into struct pt_regs. And even before that `dpf_reg()` contained off-by-one error.

mm: convert return type of handle_mm_fault() caller to vm_fault_t

2018-08-17T23:20:28Z

Use new return type vm_fault_t for fault handler. For now, this is just documenting that the function returns a VM_FAULT value rather than an errno. Once all instances are converted, vm_fault_t will become a distinct type. Ref-> commit 1c8f422059ae ("mm: change return type to vm_fault_t") In this patch all the caller of handle_mm_fault() are changed to return vm_fault_t type.
