memory.reclaim is a cgroup v2 interface that allows users to proactively
reclaim memory from a memcg, without real memory pressure. Reclaim
operations invoke vmpressure, which is used: (a) To notify userspace of
reclaim efficiency in cgroup v1, and (b) As a signal for a memcg being
under memory pressure for networking (see
mem_cgroup_under_socket_pressure()).
For (a), vmpressure notifications in v1 are not affected by this change
since memory.reclaim is a v2 feature.
For (b), the effects of the vmpressure signal (according to Shakeel [1])
are as follows:
1. Reducing send and receive buffers of the current socket.
2. May drop packets on the rx path.
3. May throttle current thread on the tx path.
Since proactive reclaim is invoked directly by userspace, not by memory
pressure, it makes sense not to throttle networking. Hence, this change
makes sure that proactive reclaim caused by memory.reclaim does not
trigger vmpressure.

30312730bd02 ("cgroup: Add "no" prefixed mount options") added "no" prefixed
mount options to allow turning them off and 6a010a49b63a ("cgroup: Make
!percpu threadgroup_rwsem operations optional") added one more "no" prefixed
mount option. However, Michal pointed out that the "no" prefixed options
aren't necessary in allowing mount options to be turned off:
# grep group /proc/mounts
cgroup2 /sys/fs/cgroup cgroup2 rw,nosuid,nodev,relatime,nsdelegate,memory_recursiveprot 0 0
# mount -o remount,nsdelegate,memory_recursiveprot none /sys/fs/cgroup
# grep cgroup /proc/mounts
cgroup2 /sys/fs/cgroup cgroup2 rw,relatime,nsdelegate,memory_recursiveprot 0 0
Note that this is different from the remount behavior when the mount(1) is
invoked without the device argument - "none":
# grep cgroup /proc/mounts
cgroup2 /sys/fs/cgroup cgroup2 rw,nosuid,nodev,noexec,relatime,nsdelegate,memory_recursiveprot 0 0
# mount -o remount,nsdelegate,memory_recursiveprot /sys/fs/cgroup
# grep cgroup /proc/mounts
cgroup2 /sys/fs/cgroup cgroup2 rw,nosuid,nodev,noexec,relatime,nsdelegate,memory_recursiveprot 0 0
While a bit confusing, given that there is a way to turn off the options,
there's no reason to have the explicit "no" prefixed options. Let's remove
them.

During an LPM, while the memory transfer is in progress on the arrival
side, some latencies are generated when accessing not yet transferred
pages on the arrival side. Thus, the NMI watchdog may be triggered too
frequently, which increases the risk to hit an NMI interrupt in a bad
place in the kernel, leading to a kernel panic.
Disabling the Hard Lockup Watchdog until the memory transfer could be a
too strong work around, some users would want this timeout to be
eventually triggered if the system is hanging even during an LPM.
Introduce a new sysctl variable nmi_watchdog_factor. It allows to apply
a factor to the NMI watchdog timeout during an LPM. Just before the CPUs
are stopped for the switchover sequence, the NMI watchdog timer is set
to watchdog_thresh + factor%
A value of 0 has no effect. The default value is 200, meaning that the
NMI watchdog is set to 30s during LPM (based on a 10s watchdog_thresh
value). Once the memory transfer is achieved, the factor is reset to 0.
Setting this value to a high number is like disabling the NMI watchdog
during an LPM.

3942a9bd7b58 ("locking, rcu, cgroup: Avoid synchronize_sched() in
__cgroup_procs_write()") disabled percpu operations on threadgroup_rwsem
because the impiled synchronize_rcu() on write locking was pushing up the
latencies too much for android which constantly moves processes between
cgroups.
This makes the hotter paths - fork and exit - slower as they're always
forced into the slow path. There is no reason to force this on everyone
especially given that more common static usage pattern can now completely
avoid write-locking the rwsem. Write-locking is elided when turning on and
off controllers on empty sub-trees and CLONE_INTO_CGROUP enables seeding a
cgroup without grabbing the rwsem.
Restore the default percpu operations and introduce the mount option
"favordynmods" and config option CGROUP_FAVOR_DYNMODS for users who need
lower latencies for the dynamic operations.

This pull request contains a pair of commits that fix 282d8998e997 ("srcu:
Prevent expedited GPs and blocking readers from consuming CPU"), which
was itself a fix to an SRCU expedited grace-period problem that could
prevent kernel live patching (KLP) from completing. That SRCU fix for
KLP introduced large (as in minutes) boot-time delays to embedded Linux
kernels running on qemu/KVM. These delays were due to the emulation of
certain MMIO operations controlling memory layout, which were emulated
with one expedited grace period per access. Common configurations
required thousands of boot-time MMIO accesses, and thus thousands of
boot-time expedited SRCU grace periods.
In these configurations, the occasional sleeps that allowed KLP to proceed
caused excessive boot delays. These commits preserve enough sleeps to
permit KLP to proceed, but few enough that the virtual embedded kernels
still boot reasonably quickly.
This represents a regression introduced in the v5.19 merge window,
and the bug is causing significant inconvenience, hence this pull request.

Systems built with CONFIG_RCU_NOCB_CPU=y but booted without either
the rcu_nocbs= or rcu_nohz_full= kernel-boot parameters will not have
callback offloading on any of the CPUs, nor can any of the CPUs be
switched to enable callback offloading at runtime. Although this is
intentional, it would be nice to have a way to offload all the CPUs
without having to make random bootloaders specify either the rcu_nocbs=
or the rcu_nohz_full= kernel-boot parameters.
This commit therefore provides a new CONFIG_RCU_NOCB_CPU_DEFAULT_ALL
Kconfig option that switches the default so as to offload callback
processing on all of the CPUs. This default can still be overridden
using the rcu_nocbs= and rcu_nohz_full= kernel-boot parameters.

The purpose of commit 282d8998e997 ("srcu: Prevent expedited GPs
and blocking readers from consuming CPU") was to prevent a long
series of never-blocking expedited SRCU grace periods from blocking
kernel-live-patching (KLP) progress. Although it was successful, it also
resulted in excessive boot times on certain embedded workloads running
under qemu with the "-bios QEMU_EFI.fd" command line. Here "excessive"
means increasing the boot time up into the three-to-four minute range.
This increase in boot time was due to the more than 6000 back-to-back
invocations of synchronize_rcu_expedited() within the KVM host OS, which
in turn resulted from qemu's emulation of a long series of MMIO accesses.
Commit 640a7d37c3f4 ("srcu: Block less aggressively for expedited grace
periods") did not significantly help this particular use case.
Zhangfei Gao and Shameerali Kolothum Thodi did experiments varying the
value of SRCU_MAX_NODELAY_PHASE with HZ=250 and with various values
of non-sleeping per phase counts on a system with preemption enabled,
and observed the following boot times:
+──────────────────────────+────────────────+
| SRCU_MAX_NODELAY_PHASE | Boot time (s) |
+──────────────────────────+────────────────+
| 100 | 30.053 |
| 150 | 25.151 |
| 200 | 20.704 |
| 250 | 15.748 |
| 500 | 11.401 |
| 1000 | 11.443 |
| 10000 | 11.258 |
| 1000000 | 11.154 |
+──────────────────────────+────────────────+
Analysis on the experiment results show additional improvements with
CPU-bound delays approaching one jiffy in duration. This improvement was
also seen when number of per-phase iterations were scaled to one jiffy.
This commit therefore scales per-grace-period phase number of non-sleeping
polls so that non-sleeping polls extend for about one jiffy. In addition,
the delay-calculation call to srcu_get_delay() in srcu_gp_end() is
replaced with a simple check for an expedited grace period. This change
schedules callback invocation immediately after expedited grace periods
complete, which results in greatly improved boot times. Testing done
by Marc and Zhangfei confirms that this change recovers most of the
performance degradation in boottime; for CONFIG_HZ_250 configuration,
specifically, boot times improve from 3m50s to 41s on Marc's setup;
and from 2m40s to ~9.7s on Zhangfei's setup.
In addition to the changes to default per phase delays, this
change adds 3 new kernel parameters - srcutree.srcu_max_nodelay,
srcutree.srcu_max_nodelay_phase, and srcutree.srcu_retry_check_delay.
This allows users to configure the srcu grace period scanning delays in
order to more quickly react to additional use cases.

The decision of whether or not to trust RDRAND is controlled by the
"random.trust_cpu" boot time parameter or the CONFIG_RANDOM_TRUST_CPU
compile time default. The "nordrand" flag was added during the early
days of RDRAND, when there were worries that merely using its values
could compromise the RNG. However, these days, RDRAND values are not
used directly but always go through the RNG's hash function, making
"nordrand" no longer useful.
Rather, the correct switch is "random.trust_cpu", which not only handles
the relevant trust issue directly, but also is general to multiple CPU
types, not just x86.
However, x86 RDRAND does have a history of being occasionally
problematic. Prior, when the kernel would notice something strange, it'd
warn in dmesg and suggest enabling "nordrand". We can improve on that by
making the test a little bit better and then taking the step of
automatically disabling RDRAND if we detect it's problematic.
Also disable RDSEED if the RDRAND test fails.

The gethostname system call returns the hostname for the current machine.
However, the kernel has no mechanism to initially set the current
machine's name in such a way as to guarantee that the first userspace
process to call gethostname will receive a meaningful result. It relies
on some unspecified userspace process to first call sethostname before
gethostname can produce a meaningful name.
Traditionally the machine's hostname is set from userspace by the init
system. The init system, in turn, often relies on a configuration file
(say, /etc/hostname) to provide the value that it will supply in the call
to sethostname. Consequently, the file system containing /etc/hostname
usually must be available before the hostname will be set. There may,
however, be earlier userspace processes that could call gethostname before
the file system containing /etc/hostname is mounted. Such a process will
get some other, likely meaningless, name from gethostname (such as
"(none)", "localhost", or "darkstar").
A real-world example where this can happen, and lead to undesirable
results, is with mdadm. When assembling arrays, mdadm distinguishes
between "local" arrays and "foreign" arrays. A local array is one that
properly belongs to the current machine, and a foreign array is one that
is (possibly temporarily) attached to the current machine, but properly
belongs to some other machine. To determine if an array is local or
foreign, mdadm may compare the "homehost" recorded on the array with the
current hostname. If mdadm is run before the root file system is mounted,
perhaps because the root file system itself resides on an md-raid array,
then /etc/hostname isn't yet available and the init system will not yet
have called sethostname, causing mdadm to incorrectly conclude that all of
the local arrays are foreign.
Solving this problem *could* be delegated to the init system. It could be
left up to the init system (including any init system that starts within
an initramfs, if one is in use) to ensure that sethostname is called
before any other userspace process could possibly call gethostname.
However, it may not always be obvious which processes could call
gethostname (for example, udev itself might not call gethostname, but it
could via udev rules invoke processes that do). Additionally, the init
system has to ensure that the hostname configuration value is stored in
some place where it will be readily accessible during early boot.
Unfortunately, every init system will attempt to (or has already attempted
to) solve this problem in a different, possibly incorrect, way. This
makes getting consistently working configurations harder for users.
I believe it is better for the kernel to provide the means by which the
hostname may be set early, rather than making this a problem for the init
system to solve. The option to set the hostname during early startup, via
a kernel parameter, provides a simple, reliable way to solve this problem.
It also could make system configuration easier for some embedded systems.

used for slow devices. But in some setups, like TDX/SEV confidential
guests, all IO has to go through swiotlb. Currently swiotlb only has a
single lock. Under high IO load with multiple CPUs this can lead to
significat lock contention on the swiotlb lock.
This patch splits the swiotlb bounce buffer pool into individual areas
which have their own lock. Each CPU tries to allocate in its own area
first. Only if that fails does it search other areas. On freeing the
allocation is freed into the area where the memory was originally
allocated from.
Area number can be set via swiotlb kernel parameter and is default
to be possible cpu number. If possible cpu number is not power of
2, area number will be round up to the next power of 2.
This idea from Andi Kleen patch(https://github.com/intel/tdx/commit/
4529b5784c141782c72ec9bd9a92df2b68cb7d45).

Add a module.async_probe kernel command line option that allows enabling
async probing for all modules. When this command line option is used,
there might still be some modules for which we want to explicitly force
synchronous probing, so extend <modulename>.async_probe to take an
optional bool input so that async probing can be disabled for a specific
module.

For now, the feature of hugetlb_free_vmemmap is not compatible with the
feature of memory_hotplug.memmap_on_memory, and hugetlb_free_vmemmap takes
precedence over memory_hotplug.memmap_on_memory. However, someone wants
to make memory_hotplug.memmap_on_memory takes precedence over
hugetlb_free_vmemmap since memmap_on_memory makes it more likely to
succeed memory hotplug in close-to-OOM situations. So the decision of
making hugetlb_free_vmemmap take precedence is not wise and elegant.
The proper approach is to have hugetlb_vmemmap.c do the check whether the
section which the HugeTLB pages belong to can be optimized. If the
section's vmemmap pages are allocated from the added memory block itself,
hugetlb_free_vmemmap should refuse to optimize the vmemmap, otherwise, do
the optimization. Then both kernel parameters are compatible. So this
patch introduces VmemmapSelfHosted to mask any non-optimizable vmemmap
pages. The hugetlb_vmemmap can use this flag to detect if a vmemmap page
can be optimized.

Add a scan interface which allows to trigger scanning of a particular
shrinker and specify memcg and numa node. It's useful for testing,
debugging and profiling of a specific scan_objects() callback. Unlike
alternatives (creating a real memory pressure and dropping caches via
/proc/sys/vm/drop_caches) this interface allows to interact with only one
shrinker at once. Also, if a shrinker is misreporting the number of
objects (as some do), it doesn't affect scanning.

Patch series "mm/damon: trivial cleanups".
This patchset contains trivial cleansups for DAMON code.
This patch (of 6):
Commit 81a84182c343 ("Docs/admin-guide/mm/damon/reclaim: document
'commit_inputs' parameter") has documented the 'commit_inputs' parameter
which allows online parameter update, but it didn't remove a paragraph
saying the online parameter update is impossible. This commit removes the
obsolete paragraph.

Most in-kernel tests (such as KUnit tests) are not supposed to run on
production systems: they may do deliberately illegal things to trigger
errors, and have security implications (for example, KUnit assertions
will often deliberately leak kernel addresses).
Add a new taint type, TAINT_TEST to signal that a test has been run.
This will be printed as 'N' (originally for kuNit, as every other
sensible letter was taken.)
This should discourage people from running these tests on production
systems, and to make it easier to tell if tests have been run
accidentally (by loading the wrong configuration, etc.)
