Mon, 15 Dec 2025 16:03:15 +0100

mm: introduce CONFIG_ARCH_HAS_LAZY_MMU_MODEArchitectures currently opt in for implementing lazy_mmu helpers bydefining __HAVE_ARCH_ENTER_LAZY_MMU_MODE.In preparation for introducing a generic lazy_mmu layer that will requirestorage in task_struct, let's switch to a cleaner approach: instead ofdefining a macro, select a CONFIG option.This patch introduces CONFIG_ARCH_HAS_LAZY_MMU_MODE and has each archselect it when it implements lazy_mmu helpers. __HAVE_ARCH_ENTER_LAZY_MMU_MODE is removed and relies onthe new CONFIG instead.On x86, lazy_mmu helpers are only implemented if PARAVIRT_XXL is selected.This creates some complications in arch/x86/boot/, because a few filesmanually undefine PARAVIRT* options. As a result doesnot define the lazy_mmu helpers, but this breaks the build as only defines them if !CONFIG_ARCH_HAS_LAZY_MMU_MODE. There does not seem to be a clean way out of this - let's just undefinethat new CONFIG too.Link: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20251215150323.2218608-7-kevin.brodsky@arm.comSigned-off-by: Kevin Brodsky Acked-by: David Hildenbrand Reviewed-by: Ritesh Harjani (IBM) Reviewed-by: Ryan Roberts Reviewed-by: Yeoreum Yun Acked-by: Andreas Larsson [sparc]Cc: Alexander Gordeev Cc: Anshuman Khandual Cc: Borislav Betkov Cc: Boris Ostrovsky Cc: Catalin Marinas Cc: Christophe Leroy Cc: David Hildenbrand (Red Hat) Cc: David S.

Merge tag 'mm-stable-2025-07-30-15-25' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/mmPull MM updates from Andrew Morton: "As usual, many cleanups. The below blurbiage describes 42 patchsets. 21 of those are partially or fully cleanup work. "cleans up", "cleanup", "maintainability", "rationalizes", etc. I never knew the MM code was so dirty. "mm: ksm: prevent KSM from breaking merging of new VMAs" (Lorenzo Stoakes) addresses an issue with KSM's PR_SET_MEMORY_MERGE mode: newly mapped VMAs were not eligible for merging with existing adjacent VMAs. "mm/damon: introduce DAMON_STAT for simple and practical access monitoring" (SeongJae Park) adds a new kernel module which simplifies the setup and usage of DAMON in production environments. "stop passing a writeback_control to swap/shmem writeout" (Christoph Hellwig) is a cleanup to the writeback code which removes a couple of pointers from struct writeback_control. "drivers/base/node.c: optimization and cleanups" (Donet Tom) contains largely uncorrelated cleanups to the NUMA node setup and management code. "mm: userfaultfd: assorted fixes and cleanups" (Tal Zussman) does some maintenance work on the userfaultfd code. "Readahead tweaks for larger folios" (Ryan Roberts) implements some tuneups for pagecache readahead when it is reading into order>0 folios. "selftests/mm: Tweaks to the cow test" (Mark Brown) provides some cleanups and consistency improvements to the selftests code. "Optimize mremap() for large folios" (Dev Jain) does that. A 37% reduction in execution time was measured in a memset+mremap+munmap microbenchmark. "Remove zero_user()" (Matthew Wilcox) expunges zero_user() in favor of the more modern memzero_page(). "mm/huge_memory: vmf_insert_folio_*() and vmf_insert_pfn_pud() fixes" (David Hildenbrand) addresses some warts which David noticed in the huge page code. These were not known to be causing any issues at this time. "mm/damon: use alloc_migrate_target() for DAMOS_MIGRATE_{HOT,COLD" (SeongJae Park) provides some cleanup and consolidation work in DAMON. "use vm_flags_t consistently" (Lorenzo Stoakes) uses vm_flags_t in places where we were inappropriately using other types. "mm/memfd: Reserve hugetlb folios before allocation" (Vivek Kasireddy) increases the reliability of large page allocation in the memfd code. "mm: Remove pXX_devmap page table bit and pfn_t type" (Alistair Popple) removes several now-unneeded PFN_* flags. "mm/damon: decouple sysfs from core" (SeongJae Park) implememnts some cleanup and maintainability work in the DAMON sysfs layer. "madvise cleanup" (Lorenzo Stoakes) does quite a lot of cleanup/maintenance work in the madvise() code. "madvise anon_name cleanups" (Vlastimil Babka) provides additional cleanups on top or Lorenzo's effort. "Implement numa node notifier" (Oscar Salvador) creates a standalone notifier for NUMA node memory state changes. Previously these were lumped under the more general memory on/offline notifier. "Make MIGRATE_ISOLATE a standalone bit" (Zi Yan) cleans up the pageblock isolation code and fixes a potential issue which doesn't seem to cause any problems in practice. "selftests/damon: add python and drgn based DAMON sysfs functionality tests" (SeongJae Park) adds additional drgn- and python-based DAMON selftests which are more comprehensive than the existing selftest suite. "Misc rework on hugetlb faulting path" (Oscar Salvador) fixes a rather obscure deadlock in the hugetlb fault code and follows that fix with a series of cleanups. "cma: factor out allocation logic from __cma_declare_contiguous_nid" (Mike Rapoport) rationalizes and cleans up the highmem-specific code in the CMA allocator. "mm/migration: rework movable_ops page migration (part 1)" (David Hildenbrand) provides cleanups and future-preparedness to the migration code. "mm/damon: add trace events for auto-tuned monitoring intervals and DAMOS quota" (SeongJae Park) adds some tracepoints to some DAMON auto-tuning code. "mm/damon: fix misc bugs in DAMON modules" (SeongJae Park) does that. "mm/damon: misc cleanups" (SeongJae Park) also does what it claims. "mm: folio_pte_batch() improvements" (David Hildenbrand) cleans up the large folio PTE batching code. "mm/damon/vaddr: Allow interleaving in migrate_{hot,cold} actions" (SeongJae Park) facilitates dynamic alteration of DAMON's inter-node allocation policy. "Remove unmap_and_put_page()" (Vishal Moola) provides a couple of page->folio conversions. "mm: per-node proactive reclaim" (Davidlohr Bueso) implements a per-node control of proactive reclaim - beyond the current memcg-based implementation. "mm/damon: remove damon_callback" (SeongJae Park) replaces the damon_callback interface with a more general and powerful damon_call()+damos_walk() interface. "mm/mremap: permit mremap() move of multiple VMAs" (Lorenzo Stoakes) implements a number of mremap cleanups (of course) in preparation for adding new mremap() functionality: newly permit the remapping of multiple VMAs when the user is specifying MREMAP_FIXED. It still excludes some specialized situations where this cannot be performed reliably. "drop hugetlb_free_pgd_range()" (Anthony Yznaga) switches some sparc hugetlb code over to the generic version and removes the thus-unneeded hugetlb_free_pgd_range(). "mm/damon/sysfs: support periodic and automated stats update" (SeongJae Park) augments the present userspace-requested update of DAMON sysfs monitoring files. Automatic update is now provided, along with a tunable to control the update interval. "Some randome fixes and cleanups to swapfile" (Kemeng Shi) does what is claims. "mm: introduce snapshot_page" (Luiz Capitulino and David Hildenbrand) provides (and uses) a means by which debug-style functions can grab a copy of a pageframe and inspect it locklessly without tripping over the races inherent in operating on the live pageframe directly. "use per-vma locks for /proc/pid/maps reads" (Suren Baghdasaryan) addresses the large contention issues which can be triggered by reads from that procfs file. Latencies are reduced by more than half in some situations. The series also introduces several new selftests for the /proc/pid/maps interface. "__folio_split() clean up" (Zi Yan) cleans up __folio_split()! "Optimize mprotect() for large folios" (Dev Jain) provides some quite large (>3x) speedups to mprotect() when dealing with large folios. "selftests/mm: reuse FORCE_READ to replace "asm volatile("" : "+r" (XXX));" and some cleanup" (wang lian) does some cleanup work in the selftests code. "tools/testing: expand mremap testing" (Lorenzo Stoakes) extends the mremap() selftest in several ways, including adding more checking of Lorenzo's recently added "permit mremap() move of multiple VMAs" feature. "selftests/damon/sysfs.py: test all parameters" (SeongJae Park) extends the DAMON sysfs interface selftest so that it tests all possible user-requested parameters.

tracing: Remove redundant config HAVE_FTRACE_MCOUNT_RECORDFtrace is tightly coupled with architecture specific code because itrequires the use of trampolines written in assembly. This means that whena new feature or optimization is made, it must be done for allarchitectures. To simplify the approach, CONFIG_HAVE_FTRACE_* configs areadded to denote which architecture has the new enhancement so that otherarchitectures can still function until they too have been updated.The CONFIG_HAVE_FTRACE_MCOUNT was added to help simplify theDYNAMIC_FTRACE work, but now every architecture that implementsDYNAMIC_FTRACE also has HAVE_FTRACE_MCOUNT set too, making it redundantwith the HAVE_DYNAMIC_FTRACE.Remove the HAVE_FTRACE_MCOUNT config and use DYNAMIC_FTRACE directly whereapplicable.Link: https://lore.kernel.org/all/20250703154916.48e3ada7@gandalf.local.home/Cc: Masami Hiramatsu Cc: Mathieu Desnoyers Cc: Mark Rutland Cc: Linus Torvalds Link: https://lore.kernel.org/20250704104838.27a18690@gandalf.local.homeSigned-off-by: Steven Rostedt (Google) List of files: /linux/arch/sparc/Kconfig

Make the fact moreclear by renaming the symbol to ARCH_HAS_DMA_OPS and having the two driversoverriding their dma_ops depend on that. These drivers should probably bemarked broken, but we can give them a bit of a grace period for that.Signed-off-by: Christoph Hellwig Reviewed-by: Thomas Gleixner Acked-by: Sakari Ailus # for IPU6Acked-by: Robin Murphy List of files: /linux/arch/sparc/Kconfig

Merge tag 'mm-stable-2024-03-13-20-04' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/mmPull MM updates from Andrew Morton: - Sumanth Korikkar has taught s390 to allocate hotplug-time page frames from hotplugged memory rather than only from main memory. Series "implement "memmap on memory" feature on s390". - More folio conversions from Matthew Wilcox in the series "Convert memcontrol charge moving to use folios" "mm: convert mm counter to take a folio" - Chengming Zhou has optimized zswap's rbtree locking, providing significant reductions in system time and modest but measurable reductions in overall runtimes. The series is "mm/zswap: optimize the scalability of zswap rb-tree". - Chengming Zhou has also provided the series "mm/zswap: optimize zswap lru list" which provides measurable runtime benefits in some swap-intensive situations. - And Chengming Zhou further optimizes zswap in the series "mm/zswap: optimize for dynamic zswap_pools". Measured improvements are modest. - zswap cleanups and simplifications from Yosry Ahmed in the series "mm: zswap: simplify zswap_swapoff()". - In the series "Add DAX ABI for memmap_on_memory", Vishal Verma has contributed several DAX cleanups as well as adding a sysfs tunable to control the memmap_on_memory setting when the dax device is hotplugged as system memory. - Johannes Weiner has added the large series "mm: zswap: cleanups", which does that. - More DAMON work from SeongJae Park in the series "mm/damon: make DAMON debugfs interface deprecation unignorable" "selftests/damon: add more tests for core functionalities and corner cases" "Docs/mm/damon: misc readability improvements" "mm/damon: let DAMOS feeds and tame/auto-tune itself" - In the series "mm/mempolicy: weighted interleave mempolicy and sysfs extension" Rakie Kim has developed a new mempolicy interleaving policy wherein we allocate memory across nodes in a weighted fashion rather than uniformly. This is beneficial in heterogeneous memory environments appearing with CXL. - Christophe Leroy has contributed some cleanup and consolidation work against the ARM pagetable dumping code in the series "mm: ptdump: Refactor CONFIG_DEBUG_WX and check_wx_pages debugfs attribute". - Luis Chamberlain has added some additional xarray selftesting in the series "test_xarray: advanced API multi-index tests". - Muhammad Usama Anjum has reworked the selftest code to make its human-readable output conform to the TAP ("Test Anything Protocol") format. Amongst other things, this opens up the use of third-party tools to parse and process out selftesting results. - Ryan Roberts has added fork()-time PTE batching of THP ptes in the series "mm/memory: optimize fork() with PTE-mapped THP". Mainly targeted at arm64, this significantly speeds up fork() when the process has a large number of pte-mapped folios. - David Hildenbrand also gets in on the THP pte batching game in his series "mm/memory: optimize unmap/zap with PTE-mapped THP". It implements batching during munmap() and other pte teardown situations. The microbenchmark improvements are nice. - And in the series "Transparent Contiguous PTEs for User Mappings" Ryan Roberts further utilizes arm's pte's contiguous bit ("contpte mappings"). Kernel build times on arm64 improved nicely. Ryan's series "Address some contpte nits" provides some followup work. - In the series "mm/hugetlb: Restore the reservation" Breno Leitao has fixed an obscure hugetlb race which was causing unnecessary page faults. He has also added a reproducer under the selftest code. - In the series "selftests/mm: Output cleanups for the compaction test", Mark Brown did what the title claims. - Kinsey Ho has added the series "mm/mglru: code cleanup and refactoring". - Even more zswap material from Nhat Pham. The series "fix and extend zswap kselftests" does as claimed. - In the series "Introduce cpu_dcache_is_aliasing() to fix DAX regression" Mathieu Desnoyers has cleaned up and fixed rather a mess in our handling of DAX on archiecctures which have virtually aliasing data caches. The arm architecture is the main beneficiary. - Lokesh Gidra's series "per-vma locks in userfaultfd" provides dramatic improvements in worst-case mmap_lock hold times during certain userfaultfd operations. - Some page_owner enhancements and maintenance work from Oscar Salvador in his series "page_owner: print stacks and their outstanding allocations" "page_owner: Fixup and cleanup" - Uladzislau Rezki has contributed some vmalloc scalability improvements in his series "Mitigate a vmap lock contention". It realizes a 12x improvement for a certain microbenchmark. - Some kexec/crash cleanup work from Baoquan He in the series "Split crash out from kexec and clean up related config items". - Some zsmalloc maintenance work from Chengming Zhou in the series "mm/zsmalloc: fix and optimize objects/page migration" "mm/zsmalloc: some cleanup for get/set_zspage_mapping()" - Zi Yan has taught the MM to perform compaction on folios larger than order=0. This a step along the path to implementaton of the merging of large anonymous folios. The series is named "Enable >0 order folio memory compaction". - Christoph Hellwig has done quite a lot of cleanup work in the pagecache writeback code in his series "convert write_cache_pages() to an iterator". - Some modest hugetlb cleanups and speedups in Vishal Moola's series "Handle hugetlb faults under the VMA lock". - Zi Yan has changed the page splitting code so we can split huge pages into sizes other than order-0 to better utilize large folios. The series is named "Split a folio to any lower order folios". - David Hildenbrand has contributed the series "mm: remove total_mapcount()", a cleanup. - Matthew Wilcox has sought to improve the performance of bulk memory freeing in his series "Rearrange batched folio freeing". - Gang Li's series "hugetlb: parallelize hugetlb page init on boot" provides large improvements in bootup times on large machines which are configured to use large numbers of hugetlb pages. - Matthew Wilcox's series "PageFlags cleanups" does that. - Qi Zheng's series "minor fixes and supplement for ptdesc" does that also. S390 is affected. - Cleanups to our pagemap utility functions from Peter Xu in his series "mm/treewide: Replace pXd_large() with pXd_leaf()". - Nico Pache has fixed a few things with our hugepage selftests in his series "selftests/mm: Improve Hugepage Test Handling in MM Selftests". - Also, of course, many singleton patches to many things.

8690bbcf3b7010b31fdbf3851e1add6ae19b8624 - Introduce cpu_dcache_is_aliasing() across all architectures

Thu, 15 Feb 2024 15:46:32 +0100

Introduce cpu_dcache_is_aliasing() across all architecturesIntroduce a generic way to query whether the data cache is virtuallyaliased on all architectures. Its purpose is to ensure that subsystemswhich are incompatible with virtually aliased data caches (e.g. FS_DAX)can reliably query this.For data cache aliasing, there are three scenarios dependending on thearchitecture. Here is a breakdown based on my understanding:A) The data cache is always aliasing:* arc* csky* m68k (note: shared memory mappings are incoherent ? SHMLBA is missing there.)* sh* pariscB) The data cache aliasing is statically known or depends on querying CPU state at runtime:* arm (cache_is_vivt() || cache_is_vipt_aliasing())* mips (cpu_has_dc_aliases)* nios2 (NIOS2_DCACHE_SIZE > PAGE_SIZE)* sparc32 (vac_cache_size > PAGE_SIZE)* sparc64 (L1DCACHE_SIZE > PAGE_SIZE)* xtensa (DCACHE_WAY_SIZE > PAGE_SIZE)C) The data cache is never aliasing:* alpha* arm64 (aarch64)* hexagon* loongarch (but with incoherent write buffers, which are disabled since commit d23b7795 ("LoongArch: Change SHMLBA from SZ_64K to PAGE_SIZE"))* microblaze* openrisc* powerpc* riscv* s390* um* x86Require architectures in A) and B) to select ARCH_HAS_CPU_CACHE_ALIASING andimplement "cpu_dcache_is_aliasing()".Architectures in C) don't select ARCH_HAS_CPU_CACHE_ALIASING, and thuscpu_dcache_is_aliasing() simply evaluates to "false".Note that this leaves "cpu_icache_is_aliasing()" to be implemented as futurework. This would be useful to gate features like XIP on architectureswhich have aliasing CPU dcache-icache but not CPU dcache-dcache.Use "cpu_dcache" and "cpu_cache" rather than just "dcache" and "cache"to clarify that we really mean "CPU data cache" and "CPU cache" toeliminate any possible confusion with VFS "dentry cache" and "pagecache".Link: https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20030910210416.GA24258@mail.jlokier.co.uk/Link: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20240215144633.96437-9-mathieu.desnoyers@efficios.comFixes: d92576f1167c ("dax: does not work correctly with virtual aliasing caches")Signed-off-by: Mathieu Desnoyers Cc: Dan Williams Cc: Vishal Verma Cc: Dave Jiang Cc: Matthew Wilcox Cc: Arnd Bergmann Cc: Russell King Cc: Alasdair Kergon Cc: Christoph Hellwig Cc: Dave Chinner Cc: Heiko Carstens Cc: kernel test robot Cc: Michael Sclafani Cc: Mike Snitzer Cc: Mikulas Patocka Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton List of files: /linux/arch/sparc/Kconfig
