Many Linux systems are configured to not panic on oops; but allowing an
attacker to oops the system **really** often can make even bugs that look
completely unexploitable exploitable (like NULL dereferences and such) if
each crash elevates a refcount by one or a lock is taken in read mode, and
this causes a counter to eventually overflow.
The most interesting counters for this are 32 bits wide (like open-coded
refcounts that don't use refcount_t). (The ldsem reader count on 32-bit
platforms is just 16 bits, but probably nobody cares about 32-bit platforms
that much nowadays.)
So let's panic the system if the kernel is constantly oopsing.
The speed of oopsing 2^32 times probably depends on several factors, like
how long the stack trace is and which unwinder you're using; an empirically
important one is whether your console is showing a graphical environment or
a text console that oopses will be printed to.
In a quick single-threaded benchmark, it looks like oopsing in a vfork()
child with a very short stack trace only takes ~510 microseconds per run
when a graphical console is active; but switching to a text console that
oopses are printed to slows it down around 87x, to ~45 milliseconds per
run.
(Adding more threads makes this faster, but the actual oops printing
happens under &die_lock on x86, so you can maybe speed this up by a factor
of around 2 and then any further improvement gets eaten up by lock
contention.)
It looks like it would take around 8-12 days to overflow a 32-bit counter
with repeated oopsing on a multi-core X86 system running a graphical
environment; both me (in an X86 VM) and Seth (with a distro kernel on
normal hardware in a standard configuration) got numbers in that ballpark.
12 days aren't *that* short on a desktop system, and you'd likely need much
longer on a typical server system (assuming that people don't run graphical
desktop environments on their servers), and this is a *very* noisy and
violent approach to exploiting the kernel; and it also seems to take orders
of magnitude longer on some machines, probably because stuff like EFI
pstore will slow it down a ton if that's active.

Statistically, in a large deployment regular segfaults may indicate a CPU
issue.
Currently, it is not possible to find out what CPU the segfault happened
on. There are at least two attempts to improve segfault logging with this
regard, but they do not help in case the logs rotate.
Hence, lets make sure it is possible to permanently record a CPU the task
ran on using a new core_pattern specifier.

Commit b041b525da ("x86/split_lock: Make life miserable for split lockers")
changed the way the split lock detector works when in "warn" mode;
basically, it not only shows the warn message, but also intentionally
introduces a slowdown through sleeping plus serialization mechanism
on such task. Based on discussions in [0], seems the warning alone
wasn't enough motivation for userspace developers to fix their
applications.
This slowdown is enough to totally break some proprietary (aka.
unfixable) userspace[1].
Happens that originally the proposal in [0] was to add a new mode
which would warns + slowdown the "split locking" task, keeping the
old warn mode untouched. In the end, that idea was discarded and
the regular/default "warn" mode now slows down the applications. This
is quite aggressive with regards proprietary/legacy programs that
basically are unable to properly run in kernel with this change.
While it is understandable that a malicious application could DoS
by split locking, it seems unacceptable to regress old/proprietary
userspace programs through a default configuration that previously
worked. An example of such breakage was reported in [1].
Add a sysctl to allow controlling the "misery mode" behavior, as per
Thomas suggestion on [2]. This way, users running legacy and/or
proprietary software are allowed to still execute them with a decent
performance while still observing the warning messages on kernel log.

In NUMA balancing memory tiering mode, if there are hot pages in slow
memory node and cold pages in fast memory node, we need to promote/demote
hot/cold pages between the fast and cold memory nodes.
A choice is to promote/demote as fast as possible. But the CPU cycles and
memory bandwidth consumed by the high promoting/demoting throughput will
hurt the latency of some workload because of accessing inflating and slow
memory bandwidth contention.
A way to resolve this issue is to restrict the max promoting/demoting
throughput. It will take longer to finish the promoting/demoting. But
the workload latency will be better. This is implemented in this patch as
the page promotion rate limit mechanism.
The number of the candidate pages to be promoted to the fast memory node
via NUMA balancing is counted, if the count exceeds the limit specified by
the users, the NUMA balancing promotion will be stopped until the next
second.
A new sysctl knob kernel.numa_balancing_promote_rate_limit_MBps is added
for the users to specify the limit.

DECnet is an obsolete network protocol that receives more attention
from kernel janitors than users. It belongs in computer protocol
history museum not in Linux kernel.
It has been "Orphaned" in kernel since 2010. The iproute2 support
for DECnet was dropped in 5.0 release. The documentation link on
Sourceforge says it is abandoned there as well.
Leave the UAPI alone to keep userspace programs compiling.
This means that there is still an empty neighbour table
for AF_DECNET.
The table of /proc/sys/net entries was updated to match
current directories and reformatted to be alphabetical.

It it inconvenient to mention the feature of optimizing vmemmap pages
associated with HugeTLB pages when communicating with others since there
is no specific or abbreviated name for it when it is first introduced.
Let us give it a name HVO (HugeTLB Vmemmap Optimization) from now.
This commit also updates the document about "hugetlb_free_vmemmap" by the
way discussed in thread [1].

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.

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.

commit 68822bdf76 ("net: generalize skb freeing
deferral to per-cpu lists") added another per-cpu
cache of skbs. It was expected to be small,
and an IPI was forced whenever the list reached 128
skbs.
We might need to be able to control more precisely
queue capacity and added latency.
An IPI is generated whenever queue reaches half capacity.
Default value of the new limit is 64.

We must add hugetlb_free_vmemmap=on (or "off") to the boot cmdline and
reboot the server to enable or disable the feature of optimizing vmemmap
pages associated with HugeTLB pages. However, rebooting usually takes a
long time. So add a sysctl to enable or disable the feature at runtime
without rebooting. Why we need this? There are 3 use cases.
1) The feature of minimizing overhead of struct page associated with
each HugeTLB is disabled by default without passing
"hugetlb_free_vmemmap=on" to the boot cmdline. When we (ByteDance)
deliver the servers to the users who want to enable this feature, they
have to configure the grub (change boot cmdline) and reboot the
servers, whereas rebooting usually takes a long time (we have thousands
of servers). It's a very bad experience for the users. So we need a
approach to enable this feature after rebooting. This is a use case in
our practical environment.
2) Some use cases are that HugeTLB pages are allocated 'on the fly'
instead of being pulled from the HugeTLB pool, those workloads would be
affected with this feature enabled. Those workloads could be
identified by the characteristics of they never explicitly allocating
huge pages with 'nr_hugepages' but only set 'nr_overcommit_hugepages'
and then let the pages be allocated from the buddy allocator at fault
time. We can confirm it is a real use case from the commit
099730d674. For those workloads, the page fault time could be ~2x
slower than before. We suspect those users want to disable this
feature if the system has enabled this before and they don't think the
memory savings benefit is enough to make up for the performance drop.
3) If the workload which wants vmemmap pages to be optimized and the
workload which wants to set 'nr_overcommit_hugepages' and does not want
the extera overhead at fault time when the overcommitted pages be
allocated from the buddy allocator are deployed in the same server.
The user could enable this feature and set 'nr_hugepages' and
'nr_overcommit_hugepages', then disable the feature. In this case, the
overcommited HugeTLB pages will not encounter the extra overhead at
fault time.

Core
----
- Introduce XDP multi-buffer support, allowing the use of XDP with
jumbo frame MTUs and combination with Rx coalescing offloads (LRO).
- Speed up netns dismantling (5x) and lower the memory cost a little.
Remove unnecessary per-netns sockets. Scope some lists to a netns.
Cut down RCU syncing. Use batch methods. Allow netdev registration
to complete out of order.
- Support distinguishing timestamp types (ingress vs egress) and
maintaining them across packet scrubbing points (e.g. redirect).
- Continue the work of annotating packet drop reasons throughout
the stack.
- Switch netdev error counters from an atomic to dynamically
allocated per-CPU counters.
- Rework a few preempt_disable(), local_irq_save() and busy waiting
sections problematic on PREEMPT_RT.
- Extend the ref_tracker to allow catching use-after-free bugs.
BPF
---
- Introduce "packing allocator" for BPF JIT images. JITed code is
marked read only, and used to be allocated at page granularity.
Custom allocator allows for more efficient memory use, lower
iTLB pressure and prevents identity mapping huge pages from
getting split.
- Make use of BTF type annotations (e.g. __user, __percpu) to enforce
the correct probe read access method, add appropriate helpers.
- Convert the BPF preload to use light skeleton and drop
the user-mode-driver dependency.
- Allow XDP BPF_PROG_RUN test infra to send real packets, enabling
its use as a packet generator.
- Allow local storage memory to be allocated with GFP_KERNEL if called
from a hook allowed to sleep.
- Introduce fprobe (multi kprobe) to speed up mass attachment (arch
bits to come later).
- Add unstable conntrack lookup helpers for BPF by using the BPF
kfunc infra.
- Allow cgroup BPF progs to return custom errors to user space.
- Add support for AF_UNIX iterator batching.
- Allow iterator programs to use sleepable helpers.
- Support JIT of add, and, or, xor and xchg atomic ops on arm64.
- Add BTFGen support to bpftool which allows to use CO-RE in kernels
without BTF info.
- Large number of libbpf API improvements, cleanups and deprecations.
Protocols
---------
- Micro-optimize UDPv6 Tx, gaining up to 5% in test on dummy netdev.
- Adjust TSO packet sizes based on min_rtt, allowing very low latency
links (data centers) to always send full-sized TSO super-frames.
- Make IPv6 flow label changes (AKA hash rethink) more configurable,
via sysctl and setsockopt. Distinguish between server and client
behavior.
- VxLAN support to "collect metadata" devices to terminate only
configured VNIs. This is similar to VLAN filtering in the bridge.
- Support inserting IPv6 IOAM information to a fraction of frames.
- Add protocol attribute to IP addresses to allow identifying where
given address comes from (kernel-generated, DHCP etc.)
- Support setting socket and IPv6 options via cmsg on ping6 sockets.
- Reject mis-use of ECN bits in IP headers as part of DSCP/TOS.
Define dscp_t and stop taking ECN bits into account in fib-rules.
- Add support for locked bridge ports (for 802.1X).
- tun: support NAPI for packets received from batched XDP buffs,
doubling the performance in some scenarios.
- IPv6 extension header handling in Open vSwitch.
- Support IPv6 control message load balancing in bonding, prevent
neighbor solicitation and advertisement from using the wrong port.
Support NS/NA monitor selection similar to existing ARP monitor.
- SMC
- improve performance with TCP_CORK and sendfile()
- support auto-corking
- support TCP_NODELAY
- MCTP (Management Component Transport Protocol)

- Increase the max PDU size in CAN ISOTP to 64 kB.
Driver API
----------
- Add HW counters for SW netdevs, a mechanism for devices which
offload packet forwarding to report packet statistics back to
software interfaces such as tunnels.
- Select the default NIC queue count as a fraction of number of
physical CPU cores, instead of hard-coding to 8.
- Expose devlink instance locks to drivers. Allow device layer of
drivers to use that lock directly instead of creating their own
which always runs into ordering issues in devlink callbacks.
- Add header/data split indication to guide user space enabling
of TCP zero-copy Rx.
- Allow configuring completion queue event size.
- Refactor page_pool to enable fragmenting after allocation.
- Add allocation and page reuse statistics to page_pool.
- Improve Multiple Spanning Trees support in the bridge to allow
reuse of topologies across VLANs, saving HW resources in switches.
- DSA (Distributed Switch Architecture):
- replay and offload of host VLAN entries
- offload of static and local FDB entries on LAG interfaces
- FDB isolation and unicast filtering

Currently the "panic_print" parameter/sysctl allows some interesting debug
information to be printed during a panic event. This is useful for
example in cases the user cannot kdump due to resource limits, or if the
user collects panic logs in a serial output (or pstore) and prefers a fast
reboot instead of a kdump.
Happens that currently there's no way to see all CPUs backtraces in a
panic using "panic_print" on architectures that support that. We do have
"oops_all_cpu_backtrace" sysctl, but although partially overlapping in the
functionality, they are orthogonal in nature: "panic_print" is a panic
tuning (and we have panics without oopses, like direct calls to panic() or
maybe other paths that don't go through oops_enter() function), and the
original purpose of "oops_all_cpu_backtrace" is to provide more
information on oopses for cases in which the users desire to continue
running the kernel even after an oops, i.e., used in non-panic scenarios.
So, we hereby introduce an additional bit for "panic_print" to allow
dumping the CPUs backtraces during a panic event.

Patch series "Some improvements on panic_print".
This is a mix of a documentation fix with some additions to the
"panic_print" syscall / parameter. The goal here is being able to collect
all CPUs backtraces during a panic event and also to enable "panic_print"
in a kdump event - details of the reasoning and design choices in the
patches.
This patch (of 3):
Commit de6da1e8bc ("panic: add an option to replay all the printk
message in buffer") added a new bit to the sysctl/kernel parameter
"panic_print", but the documentation was added only in
kernel-parameters.txt, not in the sysctl guide.
Fix it here by adding bit 5 to sysctl admin-guide documentation.

With the advent of various new memory types, some machines will have
multiple types of memory, e.g. DRAM and PMEM (persistent memory). The
memory subsystem of these machines can be called memory tiering system,
because the performance of the different types of memory are usually
different.
In such system, because of the memory accessing pattern changing etc,
some pages in the slow memory may become hot globally. So in this
patch, the NUMA balancing mechanism is enhanced to optimize the page
placement among the different memory types according to hot/cold
dynamically.
In a typical memory tiering system, there are CPUs, fast memory and slow
memory in each physical NUMA node. The CPUs and the fast memory will be
put in one logical node (called fast memory node), while the slow memory
will be put in another (faked) logical node (called slow memory node).
That is, the fast memory is regarded as local while the slow memory is
regarded as remote. So it's possible for the recently accessed pages in
the slow memory node to be promoted to the fast memory node via the
existing NUMA balancing mechanism.
The original NUMA balancing mechanism will stop to migrate pages if the
free memory of the target node becomes below the high watermark. This
is a reasonable policy if there's only one memory type. But this makes
the original NUMA balancing mechanism almost do not work to optimize
page placement among different memory types. Details are as follows.
It's the common cases that the working-set size of the workload is
larger than the size of the fast memory nodes. Otherwise, it's
unnecessary to use the slow memory at all. So, there are almost always
no enough free pages in the fast memory nodes, so that the globally hot
pages in the slow memory node cannot be promoted to the fast memory
node. To solve the issue, we have 2 choices as follows,
a. Ignore the free pages watermark checking when promoting hot pages
from the slow memory node to the fast memory node. This will
create some memory pressure in the fast memory node, thus trigger
the memory reclaiming. So that, the cold pages in the fast memory
node will be demoted to the slow memory node.
b. Define a new watermark called wmark_promo which is higher than
wmark_high, and have kswapd reclaiming pages until free pages reach
such watermark. The scenario is as follows: when we want to promote
hot-pages from a slow memory to a fast memory, but fast memory's free
pages would go lower than high watermark with such promotion, we wake
up kswapd with wmark_promo watermark in order to demote cold pages and
free us up some space. So, next time we want to promote hot-pages we
might have a chance of doing so.
The choice "a" may create high memory pressure in the fast memory node.
If the memory pressure of the workload is high, the memory pressure
may become so high that the memory allocation latency of the workload
is influenced, e.g. the direct reclaiming may be triggered.
The choice "b" works much better at this aspect. If the memory
pressure of the workload is high, the hot pages promotion will stop
earlier because its allocation watermark is higher than that of the
normal memory allocation. So in this patch, choice "b" is implemented.
A new zone watermark (WMARK_PROMO) is added. Which is larger than the
high watermark and can be controlled via watermark_scale_factor.
In addition to the original page placement optimization among sockets,
the NUMA balancing mechanism is extended to be used to optimize page
placement according to hot/cold among different memory types. So the
sysctl user space interface (numa_balancing) is extended in a backward
compatible way as follow, so that the users can enable/disable these
functionality individually.
The sysctl is converted from a Boolean value to a bits field. The
definition of the flags is,
- 0: NUMA_BALANCING_DISABLED
- 1: NUMA_BALANCING_NORMAL
- 2: NUMA_BALANCING_MEMORY_TIERING
We have tested the patch with the pmbench memory accessing benchmark
with the 80:20 read/write ratio and the Gauss access address
distribution on a 2 socket Intel server with Optane DC Persistent
Memory Model. The test results shows that the pmbench score can
improve up to 95.9%.
Thanks Andrew Morton to help fix the document format error.
