However, the concept of workingset applies generically to all types of memory, which could be kernel slab caches, discardable userspace caches (databases), or CXL.mem. Therefore, data sources might come from slab shrinkers, device drivers, or the userspace. IMO, the kernel should provide a set of workingset interfaces that should be generic enough to accommodate the various use cases, and be extensible to potential future use cases. The current proposed interfaces are not sufficient in that regard, but I would like to start somewhere, solicit feedback, and iterate. Use cases ========== Job scheduling On overcommitted hosts, workingset information allows the job scheduler to right-size each job and land more jobs on the same host or NUMA node, and in the case of a job with increasing workingset, policy decisions can be made to migrate other jobs off the host/NUMA node, or oom-kill the misbehaving job. If the job shape is very different from the machine shape, knowing the workingset per-node can also help inform page allocation policies. Proactive reclaim Workingset information allows the a container manager to proactively reclaim memory while not impacting a job's performance. While PSI may provide a reactive measure of when a proactive reclaim has reclaimed too much, workingset reporting allows the policy to be more accurate and flexible. Ballooning (similar to proactive reclaim) While this patch series does not extend the virtio-balloon device, balloon policies benefit from workingset to more precisely determine the size of the memory balloon. On desktops/laptops/mobile devices where memory is scarce and overcommitted, the balloon sizing in multiple VMs running on the same device can be orchestrated with workingset reports from each one. Promotion/Demotion If different mechanisms are used for promition and demotion, workingset information can help connect the two and avoid pages being migrated back and forth. For example, given a promotion hot page threshold defined in reaccess distance of N seconds (promote pages accessed more often than every N seconds). The threshold N should be set so that ~80% (e.g.) of pages on the fast memory node passes the threshold. This calculation can be done with workingset reports. To be directly useful for promotion policies, the workingset report interfaces need to be extended to report hotness and gather hotness information from the devices[1]. [1] https://www.opencompute.org/documents/ocp-cms-hotness-tracking-requirements… Sysfs and Cgroup Interfaces ========== The interfaces are detailed in the patches that introduce them. The main idea here is we break down the workingset per-node per-memcg into time intervals (ms), e.g. 1000 anon=137368 file=24530 20000 anon=34342 file=0 30000 anon=353232 file=333608 40000 anon=407198 file=206052 9223372036854775807 anon=4925624 file=892892 I realize this does not generalize well to hotness information, but I lack the intuition for an abstraction that presents hotness in a useful way. Based on a recent proposal for move_phys_pages[2], it seems like userspace tiering software would like to move specific physical pages, instead of informing the kernel "move x number of hot pages to y device". Please advise. [2] https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20240319172609.332900-1-gregory.price@memverge… Implementation ========== Currently, the reporting of user pages is based off of MGLRU, and therefore requires CONFIG_LRU_GEN=y. We would benefit from more MGLRU generations for a more fine-grained workingset report. I will make the generation count configurable in the next version. The workingset reporting mechanism is gated behind CONFIG_WORKINGSET_REPORT, and the aging thread is behind CONFIG_WORKINGSET_REPORT_AGING.

[PATCH v3 00/13] riscv: Add support for xtheadvector

by Charlie Jenkins

xtheadvector is a custom extension that is based upon riscv vector version 0.7.1 [1]. All of the vector routines have been modified to support this alternative vector version based upon whether xtheadvector was determined to be supported at boot. vlenb is not supported on the existing xtheadvector hardware, so a devicetree property thead,vlenb is added to provide the vlenb to Linux. There is a new hwprobe key RISCV_HWPROBE_KEY_VENDOR_EXT_THEAD_0 that is used to request which thead vendor extensions are supported on the current platform. This allows future vendors to allocate hwprobe keys for their vendor. Support for xtheadvector is also added to the vector kselftests. Signed-off-by: Charlie Jenkins <charlie(a)rivosinc.com> [1] https://github.com/T-head-Semi/thead-extension-spec/blob/95358cb2cca9489361… --- This series is a continuation of a different series that was fragmented into two other series in an attempt to get part of it merged in the 6.10 merge window. The split-off series did not get merged due to a NAK on the series that added the generic riscv,vlenb devicetree entry. This series has converted riscv,vlenb to thead,vlenb to remedy this issue. The original series is titled "riscv: Support vendor extensions and xtheadvector" [3]. The series titled "riscv: Extend cpufeature.c to detect vendor extensions" is still under development and this series is based on that series! [4] I have tested this with an Allwinner Nezha board. I ran into issues booting the board after 6.9-rc1 so I applied these patches to 6.8. There are a couple of minor merge conflicts that do arrise when doing that, so please let me know if you have been able to boot this board with a 6.9 kernel. I used SkiffOS [1] to manage building the image, but upgraded the U-Boot version to Samuel Holland's more up-to-date version [2] and changed out the device tree used by U-Boot with the device trees that are present in upstream linux and this series.

[RFC] ktap_v2: KTAP specification transition method

by Frank Rowand

In the middle of the thread about a patch to add the skip test result, I suggested documenting the process of deprecating the KTAP v1 Specification method of marking a skipped test: https://lore.kernel.org/all/490271eb-1429-2217-6e38-837c6e5e328b@gmail.com/… In a reply to that email I suggested that we ought to have a process to transition the KTAP Specification from v1 to v2, and possibly v3 and future. This email is meant to be the root of that discussion. My initial thinking is that there are at least three different types of project and/or community that may have different needs in this area. Type 1 - project controls both the test output generation and the test output parsing tool. Both generation and parsing code are in the same repository and/or synchronized versions are distributed together. Devicetree unittests are an example of Type 1. I plan to maintain changes of test output to KTAP v2 format in coordination with updating the parser to process KTAP v2 data. Type 2 - project controls both the test output generation and the test output parsing tool. The test output generation and a parser modifications may be controlled by the project BUT there are one or more external testing projects that (1) may have their own parsers, and (2) may have a single framework that tests multiple versions of the tests. I think that kselftest and kunit tests are probably examples of Type 2. I also think that DT unittests will become a Type 2 project as a result of converting to KTAP v2 data. Type 3 - project may create and maintain some tests, but is primarily a consumer of tests created by other projects. Type 3 projects typically have a single framework that is able to execute and process multiple versions of the tests. The Fuego test project is an example of Type 3. Maybe adding all of this complexity of different Types in my initial thinking was silly -- maybe everything in this topic is governed by the more complex Type 3. My thinking was that the three different Types of project would be impacted in different ways by transition plans. Type 3 would be the most impacted, so I wanted to be sure that any transition plan especially considered their needs. There is an important aspect of the KTAP format that might ease the transition from one version to another: All KTAP formatted results begin with a "version line", so as soon as a parser has processed the first line of a test, it can apply the appropriate KTAP Specification version to all subsequent lines of test output. A parser implementation could choose to process all versions, could choose to invoke a version specific parser, or some other approach all together. In the "add skip test results" thread, I suggested deprecating the v1 method of marking a skipped test in v2, with a scheduled removal of the v1 method in v3. But since the KTAP format version is available in the very first line of test output, is it necessary to do a slow deprecation and removal over two versions? One argument to doing a two version deprecation/removal process is that a parser that is one version older the the test output _might_ be able to process the test output without error, but would not be able to take advantage of features added in the newer version of the Specification. My opinion is that a two version deprecation/removal process will slow the Specification update process and lead to more versions of the Specification over a given time interval. A one version deprecation/removal process puts more of a burden on Type 3 projects and external parsers for Type 2 projects to implement parsers that can process the newer Specification more quickly and puts a burden on test maintainers to delay a move to the newer Specification, or possibly pressure to support selection of more than one Specification version format for output data. One additional item... On the KTAP Specification version 2 process wiki page, I suggested that it is "desirable for test result parsers that understand the KTAP Specification version 2 data also be able to parse version 1 data." With the implication "Converting version 1 compliant data to version 2 compliant data should not require a "flag day" switch of test result parsers." If this thread discussion results in a different decision, I will update the wiki. Thoughts? -Frank

[PATCH v2 0/4] kselftests: vdso: conform tests to TAP output

by Muhammad Usama Anjum

Conform individual tests to TAP output. One patch conform one test. With this series, all vDSO tests become TAP conformant. First patch conform the test by using kselftest_harness.h. Other patches are conforming using default kselftest.h helpers. All tests have been tested multiple times before and after these patches. They are working correctly and outputting TAP messaging to find failures quikly when they happen. --- Changes since v1: - Update cover letter - Update commit message of first patch Muhammad Usama Anjum (4): kselftests: vdso: vdso_test_clock_getres: conform test to TAP output kselftests: vdso: vdso_test_correctness: conform test to TAP output kselftests: vdso: vdso_test_getcpu: conform test to TAP output kselftests: vdso: vdso_test_gettimeofday: conform test to TAP output .../selftests/vDSO/vdso_test_clock_getres.c | 68 ++++---- .../selftests/vDSO/vdso_test_correctness.c | 146 +++++++++--------- .../testing/selftests/vDSO/vdso_test_getcpu.c | 16 +- .../selftests/vDSO/vdso_test_gettimeofday.c | 23 +-- 4 files changed, 126 insertions(+), 127 deletions(-) -- 2.39.2

[PATCH 0/6] defconfig: drop RT_GROUP_SCHED=y

by Celeste Liu

For cgroup v1, if turned on, and there's any cgroup in the "cpu" hierarchy it needs an RT budget assigned, otherwise the processes in it will not be able to get RT at all. The problem with RT group scheduling is that it requires the budget assigned but there's no way we could assign a default budget, since the values to assign are both upper and lower time limits, are absolute, and need to be sum up to < 1 for each individal cgroup. That means we cannot really come up with values that would work by default in the general case.[1] For cgroup v2, it's almost unusable as well. If it turned on, the cpu controller can only be enabled when all RT processes are in the root cgroup. But it will lose the benefits of cgroup v2 if all RT process were placed in the same cgroup. Red Hat, Gentoo, Arch Linux and Debian all disable it. systemd also doesn't support it.[2] I leave tools/testing/selftests/bpf/config.{s390x,aarch64} untouched because I don't whether bpf testing requires it.

[PATCH v2] selftest: acct: Add selftest for the acct() syscall

by Abdulrasaq Lawani

Noticed that there was no selftest for the acct() syscall which enables the kernel to record terminated processes into a specified file. The acct() system call enables or disables process accounting. If accounting is turned on, records for each terminating process are appended to a specified filename as it terminates. An argument of NULL causes accounting to be turned off. This patch provides a test for the acct() syscall.

[PATCH 0/1] KVM: selftests: pmu_counters_test: increase robustness of LLC cache misses

by Maxim Levitsky

Recent CI failures brought my attention to the fact that pmu_counters_test sometimes fails because it doesn't get any LLC cache misses. It apparently happens because CLFLUSH can race with CPU prediction. To attempt to fix this, implement a more aggressive cache flushing - now it is flushed on each iteration of the measured loop which should at least reduce by order of magnitude the chance of this happening. This patch survived more that a day of running in a loop on a Comet Lake machine, where the test used to fail after about 10-20 minites.

[PATCH v3 0/7] selftests/x86: fix build errors and warnings found via clang

by John Hubbard

Hi, Dave Hansen, Muhammad Usama Anjum, here is the combined series that we discussed yesterday [1]. As I mentioned then, this is a bit intrusive--but no more than necessary, IMHO. Specifically, it moves some clang-un-inlineable things out to "pure" assembly code files. I've tested this by building with clang, then running each binary on my x86_64 test system with today's 6.10-rc1, and comparing the console and dmesg output to a gcc-based build without these patches applied. Aside from timestamps and virtual addresses, it looks identical. Earlier cover letter: Just a bunch of build and warnings fixes that show up when building with clang. Some of these depend on each other, so I'm sending them as a series. Changes since v2: 1) Dropped my test_FISTTP.c patch, and picked up Muhammad's fix instead, seeing as how that was posted first. 2) Updated patch descriptions to reflect that Valentin Obst's build fix for LLVM [1] has already been merged into Linux main. 3) Minor wording and typo corrections in the commit logs throughout. Changes since the first version: 1) Rebased onto Linux 6.10-rc1 Enjoy!

[PATCH 0/2] Modify the watchdog selftest for execution with kselftest runner

by Laura Nao

The watchdog selftest script supports various parameters for testing different IOCTLs. The watchdog ping functionality is validated by starting a loop where the watchdog device is periodically pet, which can only be stopped by the user interrupting the script. This results in a timeout when running this test using the kselftest runner with no non-oneshot parameters (or no parameters at all): TAP version 13 1..1 # timeout set to 45 # selftests: watchdog: watchdog-test # Watchdog Ticking Away! # .............................................# not ok 1 selftests: watchdog: watchdog-test # TIMEOUT 45 seconds To address this issue, the first patch in this series limits the loop to 5 iterations by default and adds support for a new '-c' option to customize the number of pings as required. The second patch conforms the test output to the KTAP format. Laura Nao (2): selftests/watchdog: limit ping loop and allow configuring the number of pings selftests/watchdog: convert the test output to KTAP format .../selftests/watchdog/watchdog-test.c | 166 +++++++++++------- 1 file changed, 101 insertions(+), 65 deletions(-) -- 2.30.2

[PATCH bpf-next v6 0/9] use network helpers, part 8

by Geliang Tang

From: Geliang Tang <tanggeliang(a)kylinos.cn> v6: - update patch 6 as Daniel suggested. (thanks) v5: - keep make_server and make_client as Eduard suggested. v4: - a new patch to use make_sockaddr in sockmap_ktls. - a new patch to close fd in error path in drop_on_reuseport. - drop make_server() in patch 7. - drop make_client() too in patch 9. v3: - a new patch to add backlog for network_helper_opts. - use start_server_str in sockmap_ktls now, not start_server. v2: - address Eduard's comments in v1. (thanks) - fix errors reported by CI. This patch set uses network helpers in sockmap_ktls and sk_lookup, and drop three local helpers tcp_server(), inetaddr_len() and make_socket() in them.
