| * proc: add /proc/<pid>/timerslack_ns interfaceJohn Stultz2016-03-171-0/+18
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch provides a proc/PID/timerslack_ns interface which exposes a task's timerslack value in nanoseconds and allows it to be changed. This allows power/performance management software to set timer slack for other threads according to its policy for the thread (such as when the thread is designated foreground vs. background activity) If the value written is non-zero, slack is set to that value. Otherwise sets it to the default for the thread. This interface checks that the calling task has permissions to to use PTRACE_MODE_ATTACH_FSCREDS on the target task, so that we can ensure arbitrary apps do not change the timer slack for other apps.

These are 100% bugs, and they need to be fixed, but in the mean time it shouldn't be easy to *accidentally* brick machines. We have to have delete working, and picking which variables do and don't work for deletion is quite intractable, so instead make everything immutable by default (except for a whitelist), and make tools that aren't quite so broad-spectrum unset the immutable flag.

* | proc: revert /proc/<pid>/maps [stack:TID] annotationJohannes Weiner2016-02-031-6/+3Star
|/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Commit b76437579d13 ("procfs: mark thread stack correctly in proc/<pid>/maps") added [stack:TID] annotation to /proc/<pid>/maps. Finding the task of a stack VMA requires walking the entire thread list, turning this into quadratic behavior: a thousand threads means a thousand stacks, so the rendering of /proc/<pid>/maps needs to look at a million combinations. The cost is not in proportion to the usefulness as described in the patch. Drop the [stack:TID] annotation to make /proc/<pid>/maps (and /proc/<pid>/numa_maps) usable again for higher thread counts. The [stack] annotation inside /proc/<pid>/task/<tid>/maps is retained, as identifying the stack VMA there is an O(1) operation. Siddesh said: "The end users needed a way to identify thread stacks programmatically and there wasn't a way to do that. I'm afraid I no longer remember (or have access to the resources that would aid my memory since I changed employers) the details of their requirement. However, I did do this on my own time because I thought it was an interesting project for me and nobody really gave any feedback then as to its utility, so as far as I am concerned you could roll back the main thread maps information since the information is available in the thread-specific files" Signed-off-by: Johannes Weiner <hannes@cmpxchg.org> Cc: "Kirill A.

| * | mm, procfs: breakdown RSS for anon, shmem and file in /proc/pid/statusJerome Marchand2016-01-151-2/+11

The values in /proc/<pid>/status and <...>/statm don't allow to distinguish between shmem memory and a shared mapping to a regular file, even though theirs implication on memory usage are quite different: during reclaim, file mapping can be dropped or written back on disk, while shmem needs a place in swap. Also, to distinguish the memory occupied by anonymous and file mappings, one has to read the /proc/pid/statm file, which has a field for the file mappings (again, including shmem) and total memory occupied by these mappings (i.e. equivalent to VmRSS in the <...>/status file. Getting the value for anonymous mappings only is thus not exactly user-friendly (the statm file is intended to be rather efficiently machine-readable). To address both of these shortcomings, this patch adds a breakdown of VmRSS in /proc/<pid>/status via new fields RssAnon, RssFile and RssShmem, making use of the previous preparatory patch. These fields tell the user the memory occupied by private anonymous pages, mapped regular files and shmem, respectively. Other existing fields in /status and /statm files are left without change. The /statm file can be extended in the future, if there's a need for that. Example (part of) /proc/pid/status output including the new Rss* fields: VmPeak: 2001008 kB VmSize: 2001004 kB VmLck: 0 kB VmPin: 0 kB VmHWM: 5108 kB VmRSS: 5108 kB RssAnon: 92 kB RssFile: 1324 kB RssShmem: 3692 kB VmData: 192 kB VmStk: 136 kB VmExe: 4 kB VmLib: 1784 kB VmPTE: 3928 kB VmPMD: 20 kB VmSwap: 0 kB HugetlbPages: 0 kB [vbabka@suse.cz: forward-porting, tweak changelog] Signed-off-by: Jerome Marchand <jmarchan@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Vlastimil Babka <vbabka@suse.cz> Acked-by: Konstantin Khlebnikov <khlebnikov@yandex-team.ru> Acked-by: Michal Hocko <mhocko@suse.com> Acked-by: Hugh Dickins <hughd@google.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
| * | mm, proc: account for shmem swap in /proc/pid/smapsVlastimil Babka2016-01-151-1/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Currently, /proc/pid/smaps will always show "Swap: 0 kB" for shmem-backed mappings, even if the mapped portion does contain pages that were swapped out. This is because unlike private anonymous mappings, shmem does not change pte to swap entry, but pte_none when swapping the page out. In the smaps page walk, such page thus looks like it was never faulted in. This patch changes smaps_pte_entry() to determine the swap status for such pte_none entries for shmem mappings, similarly to how mincore_page() does it. Swapped out shmem pages are thus accounted for. For private mappings of tmpfs files that COWed some of the pages, swaped out status of the original shmem pages is naturally ignored. If some of the private copies was also swapped out, they are accounted via their page table swap entries, so the resulting reported swap usage is then a sum of both swapped out private copies, and swapped out shmem pages that were not COWed. No double accounting can thus happen. The accounting is arguably still not as precise as for private anonymous mappings, since now we will count also pages that the process in question never accessed, but another process populated them and then let them become swapped out. I believe it is still less confusing and subtle than not showing any swap usage by shmem mappings at all. Swapped out counter might of interest of users who would like to prevent from future swapins during performance critical operation and pre-fault them at their convenience. Especially for larger swapped out regions the cost of swapin is much higher than a fresh page allocation. So a differentiation between pte_none vs. swapped out is important for those usecases. One downside of this patch is that it makes /proc/pid/smaps more expensive for shmem mappings, as we consult the radix tree for each pte_none entry, so the overal complexity is O(n*log(n)). I have measured this on a process that creates a 2GB mapping and dirties single pages with a stride of 2MB, and time how long does it take to cat /proc/pid/smaps of this process 100 times. Private anonymous mapping: real 0m0.949s user 0m0.116s sys 0m0.348s Mapping of a /dev/shm/file: real 0m3.831s user 0m0.180s sys 0m3.212s The difference is rather substantial, so the next patch will reduce the cost for shared or read-only mappings. In a less controlled experiment, I've gathered pids of processes on my desktop that have either '/dev/shm/*' or 'SYSV*' in smaps. This included the Chrome browser and some KDE processes. Again, I've run cat /proc/pid/smaps on each 100 times. Before this patch: real 0m9.050s user 0m0.518s sys 0m8.066s After this patch: real 0m9.221s user 0m0.541s sys 0m8.187s This suggests low impact on average systems. Note that this patch doesn't attempt to adjust the SwapPss field for shmem mappings, which would need extra work to determine who else could have the pages mapped. Thus the value stays zero except for COWed swapped out pages in a shmem mapping, which are accounted as usual.

The values in /proc/<pid>/status and statm don't allow to distinguish between shmem memory and a shared mapping to a regular file, even though their implications on memory usage are quite different: at reclaim, file mapping can be dropped or written back on disk while shmem needs a place in swap. As for shmem pages that are swapped-out or in swap cache, they aren't accounted at all. The original motivation for myself is that a customer found (IMHO rightfully) confusing that e.g. top output for process swap usage is unreliable with respect to swapped out shmem pages, which are not accounted for. The fundamental difference between private anonymous and shmem pages is that the latter has PTE's converted to pte_none, and not swapents. As such, they are not accounted to the number of swapents visible e.g. in /proc/pid/status VmSwap row. It might be theoretically possible to use swapents when swapping out shmem (without extra cost, as one has to change all mappers anyway), and on swap in only convert the swapent for the faulting process, leaving swapents in other processes until they also fault (so again no extra cost). But I don't know how many assumptions this would break, and it would be too disruptive change for a relatively small benefit. Instead, my approach is to document the limitation of VmSwap, and provide means to determine the swap usage for shmem areas for those who are interested and willing to pay the price, using /proc/pid/smaps. Because outside of ipcs, I don't think it's possible to currently to determine the usage at all. The previous patchset [1] did introduce new shmem-specific fields into smaps output, and functions to determine the values. I take a simpler approach, noting that smaps output already has a "Swap: X kB" line, where currently X == 0 always for shmem areas. I think we can just consider this a bug and provide the proper value by consulting the radix tree, as e.g. mincore_page() does. In the patch changelog I explain why this is also not perfect (and cannot be without swapents), but still arguably much better than showing a 0. The last two patches are adapted from Jerome's patchset and provide a VmRSS breakdown to RssAnon, RssFile and RssShm in /proc/pid/status. Hugh noted that this is a welcome addition, and I agree that it might help e.g. debugging process memory usage at albeit non-zero, but still rather low cost of extra per-mm counter and some page flag checks. [1] http://lwn.net/Articles/611966/ This patch (of 6): The documentation for /proc/pid/status does not mention that the value of VmSwap counts only swapped out anonymous private pages, and not swapped out pages of the underlying shmem objects (for shmem mappings). This is not obvious, so document this limitation.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This document is based on three recent lwn.net articles. Some of the introductory material and linkage between articles has been removed, and some time-based descriptions have been revised. Also all links to code have been removed as the code is very close by. Contains corrections and improvements from Randy Dunlap <rdunlap@infradead.org>.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Without knowing this, the use of sysfs_streq() becomes puzzling. The termination happens in kernfs_fop_write().

| | |/ | |/| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | sysfs_dirent went away when kernfs was extracted from sysfs. The reference to the kobject now lives in a kernfs_node (in the 'priv' member). See commit 324a56e16e44 ("kernfs: s/sysfs_dirent/kernfs_node/ and rename its friends accordingly").
