sysctl: treewide: constify the ctl_table argument of proc_handlers

2024-07-24T18:59:29+00:00

const qualify the struct ctl_table argument in the proc_handler function signatures. This is a prerequisite to moving the static ctl_table structs into .rodata data which will ensure that proc_handler function pointers cannot be modified. This patch has been generated by the following coccinelle script: ``` virtual patch @r1@ identifier ctl, write, buffer, lenp, ppos; identifier func !~ "appldata_(timer|interval)_handler|sched_(rt|rr)_handler|rds_tcp_skbuf_handler|proc_sctp_do_(hmac_alg|rto_min|rto_max|udp_port|alpha_beta|auth|probe_interval)"; @@ int func( - struct ctl_table *ctl + const struct ctl_table *ctl ,int write, void *buffer, size_t *lenp, loff_t *ppos); @r2@ identifier func, ctl, write, buffer, lenp, ppos; @@ int func( - struct ctl_table *ctl + const struct ctl_table *ctl ,int write, void *buffer, size_t *lenp, loff_t *ppos) { ... } @r3@ identifier func; @@ int func( - struct ctl_table * + const struct ctl_table * ,int , void *, size_t *, loff_t *); @r4@ identifier func, ctl; @@ int func( - struct ctl_table *ctl + const struct ctl_table *ctl ,int , void *, size_t *, loff_t *); @r5@ identifier func, write, buffer, lenp, ppos; @@ int func( - struct ctl_table * + const struct ctl_table * ,int write, void *buffer, size_t *lenp, loff_t *ppos); ``` * Code formatting was adjusted in xfs_sysctl.c to comply with code conventions. The xfs_stats_clear_proc_handler, xfs_panic_mask_proc_handler and xfs_deprecated_dointvec_minmax where adjusted. * The ctl_table argument in proc_watchdog_common was const qualified. This is called from a proc_handler itself and is calling back into another proc_handler, making it necessary to change it as part of the proc_handler migration.

mm: report per-page metadata information

2024-07-04T02:30:09+00:00

Today, we do not have any observability of per-page metadata and how much it takes away from the machine capacity. Thus, we want to describe the amount of memory that is going towards per-page metadata, which can vary depending on build configuration, machine architecture, and system use. This patch adds 2 fields to /proc/vmstat that can used as shown below: Accounting per-page metadata allocated by boot-allocator: /proc/vmstat:nr_memmap_boot * PAGE_SIZE Accounting per-page metadata allocated by buddy-allocator: /proc/vmstat:nr_memmap * PAGE_SIZE Accounting total Perpage metadata allocated on the machine: (/proc/vmstat:nr_memmap_boot + /proc/vmstat:nr_memmap) * PAGE_SIZE Utility for userspace: Observability: Describe the amount of memory overhead that is going to per-page metadata on the system at any given time since this overhead is not currently observable. Debugging: Tracking the changes or absolute value in struct pages can help detect anomalies as they can be correlated with other metrics in the machine (e.g., memtotal, number of huge pages, etc). page_ext overheads: Some kernel features such as page_owner page_table_check that use page_ext can be optionally enabled via kernel parameters. Having the total per-page metadata information helps users precisely measure impact. Furthermore, page-metadata metrics will reflect the amount of struct pages reliquished (or overhead reduced) when hugetlbfs pages are reserved which will vary depending on whether hugetlb vmemmap optimization is enabled or not.

mm: page_alloc: consolidate free page accounting

2024-04-26T03:56:04+00:00

Free page accounting currently happens a bit too high up the call stack, where it has to deal with guard pages, compaction capturing, block stealing and even page isolation. This is subtle and fragile, and makes it difficult to hack on the code. Now that type violations on the freelists have been fixed, push the accounting down to where pages enter and leave the freelist.
