[RFC][PATCH] selftests/vm/transhuge-stress: fix ram size thinko

by George G. Davis

From: "George G. Davis" <davis.george(a)siemens.com> When executing transhuge-stress with an argument to specify the virtual memory size for testing, the ram size is reported as 0, e.g. transhuge-stress 384 thp-mmap: allocate 192 transhuge pages, using 384 MiB virtual memory and 0 MiB of ram thp-mmap: 0.184 s/loop, 0.957 ms/page, 2090.265 MiB/s 192 succeed, 0 failed This appears to be due to a thinko in commit 0085d61fe05e ("selftests/vm/transhuge-stress: stress test for memory compaction"), where, at a guess, the intent was to base "xyz MiB of ram" on `ram` size. Here are results after using `ram` size: thp-mmap: allocate 192 transhuge pages, using 384 MiB virtual memory and 14 MiB of ram Fixes: 0085d61fe05e ("selftests/vm/transhuge-stress: stress test for memory compaction") Signed-off-by: George G.

[PATCH v1] selftests/vm: make MADV_POPULATE_(READ|WRITE) use in-tree headers

by David Hildenbrand

The madv_populate selftest currently builds with a warning when the local installed headers (via the distribution) don't include MADV_POPULATE_READ and MADV_POPULATE_WRITE. The warning is correct, because the test cannot locate the necessary header. Reason is that the in-tree installed headers (usr/include) have a "linux" instead of a "sys" subdirectory. Including "linux/mman.h" instead of "sys/mman.h" doesn't work (e.g., mmap() and madvise() are not defined that way). The only thing that seems to work is including "linux/mman.h" in addition to "sys/mman.h". We can get rid of our availability check and simplify.

selftests/vm madv_populate.c test

by Shuah Khan

Hi David, I am running into the following warning when try to build this test: madv_populate.c:334:2: warning: #warning "missing MADV_POPULATE_READ or MADV_POPULATE_WRITE definition" [-Wcpp] 334 | #warning "missing MADV_POPULATE_READ or MADV_POPULATE_WRITE definition" | ^~~~~~~ I see that the following handling is in place. However there is no other information to explain why the check is necessary. #if defined(MADV_POPULATE_READ) && defined(MADV_POPULATE_WRITE) #else /* defined(MADV_POPULATE_READ) && defined(MADV_POPULATE_WRITE) */ #warning "missing MADV_POPULATE_READ or MADV_POPULATE_WRITE definition" I do see these defined in: include/uapi/asm-generic/mman-common.h:#define MADV_POPULATE_READ 22 include/uapi/asm-generic/mman-common.h:#define MADV_POPULATE_WRITE 23 Is this the case of missing include from madv_populate.c? thanks, -- Shuah

[PATCH v1 00/38] arm64/sme: Initial support for the Scalable Matrix Extension

by Mark Brown

This series provides initial support for the ARMv9 Scalable Matrix Extension (SME). SME takes the approach used for vectors in SVE and extends this to provide architectural support for matrix operations. A more detailed overview can be found in [1]. For the kernel SME can be thought of as a series of features which are intended to be used together by applications but operate mostly orthogonally: - The ZA matrix register. - Streaming mode, in which ZA can be accessed and a subset of SVE features are available. - A second vector length, used for streaming mode SVE and ZA and controlled using a similar interface to that for SVE. - TPIDR2, a new userspace controllable system register intended for use by the C library for storing context related to the ZA ABI. A substantial part of the series is dedicated to refactoring the existing SVE support so that we don't need to duplicate code for handling vector lengths and the SVE registers, this involves creating an array of vector types and making the users take the vector type as a parameter. I'm not 100% happy with this but wasn't able to come up with anything better, duplicating code definitely felt like a bad idea so this felt like the least bad thing. If this approach makes sense to people it might make sense to split this off into a separate series and/or merge it while the rest is pending review to try to make things a little more digestable, the series is very large so it'd probably make things easier to digest if some of the preparatory refactoring could be merged before the rest is ready. One feature of the architecture of particular note is that switching to and from streaming mode may change the size of and invalidate the contents of the SVE registers, and when in streaming mode the FFR is not accessible. This complicates aspects of the ABI like signal handling and ptrace. This initial implementation is mainly intended to get the ABI in place, there are several areas which will be worked on going forwards - some of these will be blockers, others could be handled in followup serieses: - KVM is not currently supported and we depend on !KVM, in hopefully the next version I will add support for coexisting with KVM and then in a subsequent series implement real support for KVM guests. - It is likely some build configurations have issues, I've not fully checked this yet. In general testing is still ongoing, I anticipate finding and fixing some issues in the implementation. - No support is currently provided for scheduler control of SME or SME applications, given the size of the SME register state the context switch overhead may be noticable so this may be needed especially for real time applications. Similar concerns already exist for larger SVE vector lengths but are amplified for SME, particularly as the vector length increases. - There has been no work on optimising the performance of anything the kernel does. It is not expected that any systems will be encountered that support SME but not SVE, SME is an ARMv9 feature and SVE is mandatory for ARMv9. The code attempts to handle any such systems that are encountered but this hasn't been tested extensively. Due to dependencies on kselftest changes already upstreamed this series is based on for-next/kselftest in the arm64 tree.

[PATCH] selftests/ftrace: Stop tracing before searching non-exist event entry

by Masami Hiramatsu

Stop tracing before searching the pattern which is expected to not exist on the trace buffer. In some case, it will take too long and may not come back eternally because while searching the tracing data will be increased by the searching activity. I found this with enabling kernel debug options, like kmemleak, lockdep etc. and run it on qemu with 2 CPUs. It did not come back in 20 minutes and finally I need to interrupt it to stop.

An example > is when its parent is also an invalid partition. You say: "it can only be enabled in a cgroup if all the following conditions are met.", "2) The parent cgroup is a partition root." and then the example: "A partition, when enabled, can be in an invalid state. An example is when its parent is also an invalid partition." But the first two statements imply you can't have enabled the partition in such a case. I think there is still mixup of partition validity conditions and transition conditions, yours would roughly divide into (not precisely, just to share my understanding): Validity conditions 1) The "cpuset.cpus" is not empty and the list of CPUs are exclusive, i.e. they are not shared by any of its siblings. 2) The parent cgroup is a partition root. Transition conditions: 3) The "cpuset.cpus" is a subset of the union of parent's "cpuset.cpus.effective" and offlined CPUs in parent's "cpuset.cpus". 4) There is no child cgroups with cpuset enabled. This avoids cpu migrations of multiple cgroups simultaneously which can be problematic. (I've put no. 3 into transition conditions because _after_ the transition parent's cpuset.cpus.effective are subtracted the new root's cpuset.cpus but I'd like to have something similar as a validity condition but I haven't come up with that yet.) I consider the following situation: r // all cpus 0-7 `- part1 cpus=0-3 root >partition ` subpart1 cpus=0-1 root >partition ` subpart2 cpus=2-3 root >partition `- other cpus=4-7 // member by default Both subpart1 and subpart2 are valid partition roots. Look at actions listed below (as alternatives, not a sequence): a) hotplug offlines cpu 3 - would part1 still be considered a valid root? - perhaps not - would subpart1 still be considered a valid root? - it could be, but its parent is invalid so no? - would subpart2 still be considered a valid root? - perhaps not b) administrative change writes 0-2 into part1 cpus - would part1 still be considered a valid root? - yes - would subpart1 still be considered a valid root? - yes - would subpart2 still be considered a valid root? - perhaps not c) administrative change writes 3-7 into `other` cpus - should this fail or invalidate a root partition part1? - perhaps fail since the same "owner" manages all siblings and should reduce part1 first The answers above are just my "natural" responses, the ideal may be different. The issue I want to illustrate is that if all the conditions are formed as transition conditions only, they can't be used to reason about hotplug or config changes (except for cpuset.cpus.partitions writes). What would help me with the understanding -- the invalid root partition is defined as 1) such a cgroup where no cpus are granted from the top (and thus has to fall back to ancestors) or 2) such a cgroup where cpus requested in cpuset.cpus can't be fulfilled (i.e. any missing invalidates)? Furthermore, another example (motivated by the patch 4/6) r // all cpus 0-7 `- part1 cpus=0-4 root >partition ` subpart1 cpus=0-1 root >partition ` subpart2 cpus=2-3 root >partition ` task `- other cpus=5-7 // member by default It's a valid and achievable state (even on v2 since cpuset is a threaded controller). a) cpu 4 is offlined - this should invalidate part1 (and propagate invalidation into subpart1 and subpart2). b) administrative write 0-3 into part1 cpus - should this invalidate part1 or be rejected? In conclusion, it'd be good to have validity conditions separate from transition conditions (since hotplug transition can't be rejected) and perhaps treat administrative changes from an ancestor equally as a hotplug. Thanks, Michal

[PATCH v5 0/7] kernel.h further split

by Andy Shevchenko

v4: https://lore.kernel.org/linux-media/20211007154407.29746-1-andriy.shevchenk… v3: https://lore.kernel.org/linux-media/20211007150339.28910-1-andriy.shevchenk… v2: https://lore.kernel.org/linux-media/20211007095129.22037-1-andriy.shevchenk… The kernel.h is a set of something which is not related to each other and often used in non-crossed compilation units, especially when drivers need only one or two macro definitions from it. Here is the split of container_of(). The goals are the following: - untwist the dependency hell a bit - drop kernel.h inclusion where it's only used for container_of() In v5: - dropped code duplication (Miguel) - added necessary includes into container_of.h (Joe) - dropped other header shuffling in list.h (Jonathan) - added tag (Sakari) In v4: - dropped kobject.h change (Greg) - Cc'ed more people (as per v1) In v3: - split patch 2 to more patches (Greg) - excluded C changes (Herbert, Greg) - measured with kcbench, see below (Greg) Andy Shevchenko (7): kernel.h: Drop unneeded <linux/kernel.h> inclusion from other headers kernel.h: Split out container_of() and typeof_member() macros kunit: Replace kernel.h with the necessary inclusions list: Replace kernel.h with the necessary inclusions llist: Replace kernel.h with the necessary inclusions plist: Replace kernel.h with the necessary inclusions media: entity: Replace kernel.h with the necessary inclusions include/kunit/test.h | 13 ++++++++++-- include/linux/container_of.h | 40 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ include/linux/kernel.h | 33 +---------------------------- include/linux/list.h | 4 +++- include/linux/llist.h | 4 +++- include/linux/plist.h | 5 ++++- include/linux/rwsem.h | 1 - include/linux/smp.h | 1 - include/linux/spinlock.h | 1 - include/media/media-entity.h | 3 ++- 10 files changed, 64 insertions(+), 41 deletions(-) create mode 100644 include/linux/container_of.h -- 2.33.0

DRM KUnit hackathon

by Nícolas F. R. A. Prado

Hello, We belong to a student group, LKCAMP [1], which is focused on sharing kernel and free software development knowledge and mentoring newcomers to become contributors to these projects. As part of our efforts, we'll be organizing a hackathon to convert the drm selftests in drivers/gpu/drm/selftests/ (and possibly the ones in drivers/dma-buf too) to the KUnit framework. It will take place on October 30. So please expect to receive some patches from our mentees on that date. It probably won't be a big volume (experience tells it'll be around half a dozen patches). We'll also make sure to do an internal review beforehand to catch common first-timer mistakes and teach the basics. We're already working on making sure that the converted KUnit tests can still be run by IGT. Please let us know if there's any issue with this date. Otherwise we look forward to helping a few newcomers get their patches in the kernel on the 30th :). Thanks! [1] - https://lkcamp.dev/
