[PATCH bpf-next 0/2] Allow mmap of /sys/kernel/btf/vmlinux

by Lorenz Bauer

I'd like to cut down the memory usage of parsing vmlinux BTF in ebpf-go. With some upcoming changes the library is sitting at 5MiB for a parse. Most of that memory is simply copying the BTF blob into user space. By allowing vmlinux BTF to be mmapped read-only into user space I can cut memory usage by about 75%.

[PATCH v5 0/4] mm: introduce THP deferred setting

by Nico Pache

This series is a follow-up to [1], which adds mTHP support to khugepaged. mTHP khugepaged support is a "loose" dependency for the sysfs/sysctl configs to make sense. Without it global="defer" and mTHP="inherit" case is "undefined" behavior. We've seen cases were customers switching from RHEL7 to RHEL8 see a significant increase in the memory footprint for the same workloads. Through our investigations we found that a large contributing factor to the increase in RSS was an increase in THP usage. For workloads like MySQL, or when using allocators like jemalloc, it is often recommended to set /transparent_hugepages/enabled=never. This is in part due to performance degradations and increased memory waste. This series introduces enabled=defer, this setting acts as a middle ground between always and madvise. If the mapping is MADV_HUGEPAGE, the page fault handler will act normally, making a hugepage if possible. If the allocation is not MADV_HUGEPAGE, then the page fault handler will default to the base size allocation. The caveat is that khugepaged can still operate on pages that are not MADV_HUGEPAGE. This allows for three things... one, applications specifically designed to use hugepages will get them, and two, applications that don't use hugepages can still benefit from them without aggressively inserting THPs at every possible chance. This curbs the memory waste, and defers the use of hugepages to khugepaged. Khugepaged can then scan the memory for eligible collapsing. Lastly there is the added benefit for those who want THPs but experience higher latency PFs. Now you can get base page performance at the PF handler and Hugepage performance for those mappings after they collapse. Admins may want to lower max_ptes_none, if not, khugepaged may aggressively collapse single allocations into hugepages. TESTING: - Built for x86_64, aarch64, ppc64le, and s390x - selftests mm - In [1] I provided a script [2] that has multiple access patterns - lots of general use. - redis testing. This test was my original case for the defer mode. What I was able to prove was that THP=always leads to increased max_latency cases; hence why it is recommended to disable THPs for redis servers. However with 'defer' we dont have the max_latency spikes and can still get the system to utilize THPs. I further tested this with the mTHP defer setting and found that redis (and probably other jmalloc users) can utilize THPs via defer (+mTHP defer) without a large latency penalty and some potential gains. I uploaded some mmtest results here[3] which compares: stock+thp=never stock+(m)thp=always khugepaged-mthp + defer (max_ptes_none=64) The results show that (m)THPs can cause some throughput regression in some cases, but also has gains in other cases. The mTHP+defer results have more gains and less losses over the (m)THP=always case.

[PATCH 0/5] riscv: misaligned: fix interruptible context and add tests

by Clément Léger

This series fixes misaligned access handling when in non interruptible context by reenabling interrupts when possible. A previous commit changed raw_copy_from_user() with copy_from_user() which enables page faulting and thus can sleep. While correct, a warning is now triggered due to being called in an invalid context (sleeping in non-interruptible). This series fixes that problem by factorizing misaligned load/store entry in a single function than reenables interrupt if the interrupted context had interrupts enabled. In order for misaligned handling problems to be caught sooner, add a kselftest for all the currently supported instructions . Note: these commits were actually part of another larger series for misaligned request delegation but was split since it isn't directly required.

[RFC net-next v1 1/2] udp: Introduce UDP_STOP_RCV option for UDP

by Jiayuan Chen

For some services we are using "established-over-unconnected" model. ''' // create unconnected socket and 'listen()' srv_fd = socket(AF_INET, SOCK_DGRAM) setsockopt(srv_fd, SO_REUSEPORT) bind(srv_fd, SERVER_ADDR, SERVER_PORT) // 'accept()' data, client_addr = recvmsg(srv_fd) // create a connected socket for this request cli_fd = socket(AF_INET, SOCK_DGRAM) setsockopt(cli_fd, SO_REUSEPORT) bind(cli_fd, SERVER_ADDR, SERVER_PORT) connect(cli, client_addr) ... // do handshake with cli_fd ''' This programming pattern simulates accept() using UDP, creating a new socket for each client request. The server can then use separate sockets to handle client requests, avoiding the need to use a single UDP socket for I/O transmission. But there is a race condition between the bind() and connect() of the connected socket: We might receive unexpected packets belonging to the unconnected socket before connect() is executed, which is not what we need. (Of course, before connect(), the unconnected socket will also receive packets from the connected socket, which is easily resolved because upper-layer protocols typically require explicit boundaries, and we receive a complete packet before creating a connected socket.) Before this patch, the connected socket had to filter requests at recvmsg time, acting as a dispatcher to some extent. With this patch, we can consider the bind and connect operations to be atomic.

[PATCH RESEND] selftests/seccomp: fix syscall_restart test for arm compat

by Neill Kapron

The inconsistencies in the systcall ABI between arm and arm-compat can can cause a failure in the syscall_restart test due to the logic attempting to work around the differences. The 'machine' field for an ARM64 device running in compat mode can report 'armv8l' or 'armv8b' which matches with the string 'arm' when only examining the first three characters of the string. This change adds additional validation to the workaround logic to make sure we only take the arm path when running natively, not in arm-compat.
