[tip:x86/urgent] x86/asm: Use stricter assembly constraints in bitops

by tip-bot for Alexander Potapenko

Commit-ID: 5b77e95dd7790ff6c8fbf1cd8d0104ebed818a03 Gitweb: https://git.kernel.org/tip/5b77e95dd7790ff6c8fbf1cd8d0104ebed818a03 Author: Alexander Potapenko <glider(a)google.com> AuthorDate: Tue, 2 Apr 2019 13:28:13 +0200 Committer: Ingo Molnar <mingo(a)kernel.org> CommitDate: Sat, 6 Apr 2019 09:52:02 +0200 x86/asm: Use stricter assembly constraints in bitops There's a number of problems with how arch/x86/include/asm/bitops.h is currently using assembly constraints for the memory region bitops are modifying: 1) Use memory clobber in bitops that touch arbitrary memory Certain bit operations that read/write bits take a base pointer and an arbitrarily large offset to address the bit relative to that base. Inline assembly constraints aren't expressive enough to tell the compiler that the assembly directive is going to touch a specific memory location of unknown size, therefore we have to use the "memory" clobber to indicate that the assembly is going to access memory locations other than those listed in the inputs/outputs. To indicate that BTR/BTS instructions don't necessarily touch the first sizeof(long) bytes of the argument, we also move the address to assembly inputs. This particular change leads to size increase of 124 kernel functions in a defconfig build. For some of them the diff is in NOP operations, other end up re-reading values from memory and may potentially slow down the execution. But without these clobbers the compiler is free to cache the contents of the bitmaps and use them as if they weren't changed by the inline assembly. 2) Use byte-sized arguments for operations touching single bytes. Passing a long value to ANDB/ORB/XORB instructions makes the compiler treat sizeof(long) bytes as being clobbered, which isn't the case. This may theoretically lead to worse code in the case of heavy optimization. Practical impact: I've built a defconfig kernel and looked through some of the functions generated by GCC 7.3.0 with and without this clobber, and didn't spot any miscompilations. However there is a (trivial) theoretical case where this code leads to miscompilation: https://lkml.org/lkml/2019/3/28/393 using just GCC 8.3.0 with -O2. It isn't hard to imagine someone writes such a function in the kernel someday. So the primary motivation is to fix an existing misuse of the asm directive, which happens to work in certain configurations now, but isn't guaranteed to work under different circumstances.

[patch 09/14] mm: writeback: use exact memcg dirty counts

by akpm＠linux-foundation.org

From: Greg Thelen <gthelen(a)google.com> Subject: mm: writeback: use exact memcg dirty counts Since a983b5ebee57 ("mm: memcontrol: fix excessive complexity in memory.stat reporting") memcg dirty and writeback counters are managed as: 1) per-memcg per-cpu values in range of [-32..32] 2) per-memcg atomic counter When a per-cpu counter cannot fit in [-32..32] it's flushed to the atomic. Stat readers only check the atomic. Thus readers such as balance_dirty_pages() may see a nontrivial error margin: 32 pages per cpu. Assuming 100 cpus: 4k x86 page_size: 13 MiB error per memcg 64k ppc page_size: 200 MiB error per memcg Considering that dirty+writeback are used together for some decisions the errors double. This inaccuracy can lead to undeserved oom kills. One nasty case is when all per-cpu counters hold positive values offsetting an atomic negative value (i.e. per_cpu[*]=32, atomic=n_cpu*-32). balance_dirty_pages() only consults the atomic and does not consider throttling the next n_cpu*32 dirty pages. If the file_lru is in the 13..200 MiB range then there's absolutely no dirty throttling, which burdens vmscan with only dirty+writeback pages thus resorting to oom kill. It could be argued that tiny containers are not supported, but it's more subtle. It's the amount the space available for file lru that matters. If a container has memory.max-200MiB of non reclaimable memory, then it will also suffer such oom kills on a 100 cpu machine. The following test reliably ooms without this patch. This patch avoids oom kills. $ cat test mount -t cgroup2 none /dev/cgroup cd /dev/cgroup echo +io +memory > cgroup.subtree_control mkdir test cd test echo 10M > memory.max (echo $BASHPID > cgroup.procs && exec /memcg-writeback-stress /foo) (echo $BASHPID > cgroup.procs && exec dd if=/dev/zero of=/foo bs=2M count=100) $ cat memcg-writeback-stress.c /* * Dirty pages from all but one cpu. * Clean pages from the non dirtying cpu. * This is to stress per cpu counter imbalance. * On a 100 cpu machine: * - per memcg per cpu dirty count is 32 pages for each of 99 cpus * - per memcg atomic is -99*32 pages * - thus the complete dirty limit: sum of all counters 0 * - balance_dirty_pages() only sees atomic count -99*32 pages, which * it max()s to 0. * - So a workload can dirty -99*32 pages before balance_dirty_pages() * cares. */ #define _GNU_SOURCE #include <err.h> #include <fcntl.h> #include <sched.h> #include <stdlib.h> #include <stdio.h> #include <sys/stat.h> #include <sys/sysinfo.h> #include <sys/types.h> #include <unistd.h> static char *buf; static int bufSize; static void set_affinity(int cpu) { cpu_set_t affinity; CPU_ZERO(&affinity); CPU_SET(cpu, &affinity); if (sched_setaffinity(0, sizeof(affinity), &affinity)) err(1, "sched_setaffinity"); } static void dirty_on(int output_fd, int cpu) { int i, wrote; set_affinity(cpu); for (i = 0; i < 32; i++) { for (wrote = 0; wrote < bufSize; ) { int ret = write(output_fd, buf+wrote, bufSize-wrote); if (ret == -1) err(1, "write"); wrote += ret; } } } int main(int argc, char **argv) { int cpu, flush_cpu = 1, output_fd; const char *output; if (argc != 2) errx(1, "usage: output_file"); output = argv[1]; bufSize = getpagesize(); buf = malloc(getpagesize()); if (buf == NULL) errx(1, "malloc failed"); output_fd = open(output, O_CREAT|O_RDWR); if (output_fd == -1) err(1, "open(%s)", output); for (cpu = 0; cpu < get_nprocs(); cpu++) { if (cpu != flush_cpu) dirty_on(output_fd, cpu); } set_affinity(flush_cpu); if (fsync(output_fd)) err(1, "fsync(%s)", output); if (close(output_fd)) err(1, "close(%s)", output); free(buf); } Make balance_dirty_pages() and wb_over_bg_thresh() work harder to collect exact per memcg counters. This avoids the aforementioned oom kills. This does not affect the overhead of memory.stat, which still reads the single atomic counter. Why not use percpu_counter? memcg already handles cpus going offline, so no need for that overhead from percpu_counter. And the percpu_counter spinlocks are more heavyweight than is required. It probably also makes sense to use exact dirty and writeback counters in memcg oom reports. But that is saved for later.
