Pull slab updates from Vlastimil Babka:
- Conversion of slub_debug stack traces to stackdepot, allowing more
useful debugfs-based inspection for e.g. memory leak debugging.
Allocation and free debugfs info now includes full traces and is
sorted by the unique trace frequency.
The stackdepot conversion was already attempted last year but
reverted by ae14c63a9f. The memory overhead (while not actually
enabled on boot) has been meanwhile solved by making the large
stackdepot allocation dynamic. The xfstest issues haven't been
reproduced on current kernel locally nor in -next, so the slab cache
layout changes that originally made that bug manifest were probably
not the root cause.
- Refactoring of dma-kmalloc caches creation.

clarifications of comments.

A compound devmap is a dev_pagemap with @vmemmap_shift > 0 and it means
that pages are mapped at a given huge page alignment and utilize uses
compound pages as opposed to order-0 pages.
Take advantage of the fact that most tail pages look the same (except the
first two) to minimize struct page overhead. Allocate a separate page for
the vmemmap area which contains the head page and separate for the next 64
pages. The rest of the subsections then reuse this tail vmemmap page to
initialize the rest of the tail pages.
Sections are arch-dependent (e.g. on x86 it's 64M, 128M or 512M) and when
initializing compound devmap with big enough @vmemmap_shift (e.g. 1G PUD)
it may cross multiple sections. The vmemmap code needs to consult @pgmap
so that multiple sections that all map the same tail data can refer back
to the first copy of that data for a given gigantic page.
On compound devmaps with 2M align, this mechanism lets 6 pages be saved
out of the 8 necessary PFNs necessary to set the subsection's 512 struct
pages being mapped. On a 1G compound devmap it saves 4094 pages.
Altmap isn't supported yet, given various restrictions in altmap pfn
allocator, thus fallback to the already in use vmemmap_populate(). It is
worth noting that altmap for devmap mappings was there to relieve the
pressure of inordinate amounts of memmap space to map terabytes of pmem.
With compound pages the motivation for altmaps for pmem gets reduced.

An application is suspected of having memory leak when its memory
consumption is high and keeps increasing. There are several commonly used
memory allocators: slab, cma, vmalloc, etc. The memory leak
identification can be sped up if the page information allocated by an
allocator can be analyzed separately.
This patch provides supports for memory allocator labelling for slab,
vmalloc, and cma. The pages allocated by slab and cma can be confirmed
from the "PFN" line according to the kernel codes, and the label of the
vmalloc allocator can be obtained by analyzing the stack trace. Thanks
for Vlastimil Babka's constructive suggestions.
Based on Yinan Zhang's study, the call chain of vmalloc() is vmalloc() ->
... -> __vmalloc_node_range() -> __vmalloc_area_node().
__vmalloc_area_node() requests memory through the interface of buddy
allocation system. In the current version, __vmalloc_area_node() uses
four interfaces: alloc_pages_bulk_array_mempolicy(),
alloc_pages_bulk_array_node(), alloc_pages() and alloc_pages_node(). By
disassembling the code, we find that __vmalloc_area_node() is expanded in
__vmalloc_node_range(). So __vmalloc_area_node is not in the stack trace.
On the test machine, the stack trace of pages allocated by vmalloc has the
following four forms:
__alloc_pages_bulk+0x230/0x6a0
__vmalloc_node_range+0x19c/0x598
alloc_pages_bulk_array_mempolicy+0xbc/0x278
__vmalloc_node_range+0x1e8/0x598
__alloc_pages+0x160/0x2b0
__vmalloc_node_range+0x234/0x598
alloc_pages+0xac/0x150
__vmalloc_node_range+0x44c/0x598
Therefore, in two consecutive lines of stacktrace, if the first line
contains the word "alloc_pages" and the second line contains the word
"__vmalloc_node_range", it can be determined that the page is allocated by
vmalloc. And the function offset and size are not the same on different
machines, so there is no need to match them.
At the same time, this patch updates the --cull and --sort options to
support allocator-based merge statistics and sorting. The added functions
are fully compatible with the original work. When using, you can use
"allocator", or abbreviated as "ator". Relevant updates have also been
made in the documentation(Documentation/vm/page_owner.rst).
Example:
./page_owner_sort <input> <output> --cull=st,pid,name,allocator
./page_owner_sort <input> <output> --sort=ator,pid,name

When viewing page owner information, we may want to sort blocks of
information by multiple keys, since one single key does not uniquely
identify a block. Therefore, following adjustments are made:
1. Add a new --sort option to support sorting blocks of information by
multiple keys.
./page_owner_sort <input> <output> --sort=<order>
./page_owner_sort <input> <output> --sort <order>
<order> is a single argument in the form of a comma-separated list,
which offers a way to specify sorting order.
Sorting syntax is [+|-]key[,[+|-]key[,...]]. The ascending or descending
order can be specified by adding the + (ascending, default) or - (descend
-ing) prefix to the key:
./page_owner_sort <input> <output> [option] --sort -key1,+key2,key3...
For example, to sort the blocks first by task command name in lexicographic
order and then by pid in ascending numerical order, use the following:
./page_owner_sort <input> <output> --sort=name,+pid
To sort the blocks first by pid in ascending order and then by timestamp
of the page when it is allocated in descending order, use the following:
./page_owner_sort <input> <output> --sort=pid,-alloc_ts
2. Add explanations of a newly added --sort option in the function usage()
and the document(Documentation/vm/page_owner.rst).

When viewing page owner information, we may want to select blocks whose
PID/TGID/TASK_COMM_NAME appears in a user-specified list for data analysis
and aggregation. But currently page_owner_sort only supports selecting
blocks associated with only one specified PID/TGID/TASK_COMM_NAME.
Therefore, following adjustments are made to fix the problem:
1. Enhance selecting function to support the selection of multiple
PIDs/TGIDs/TASK_COMM_NAMEs.
The enhanced usages are as follows:
--pid <pidlist> Select by pid. This selects the blocks whose PID
numbers appear in <pidlist>.
--tgid <tgidlist> Select by tgid. This selects the blocks whose
TGID numbers appear in <tgidlist>.
--name <cmdlist> Select by task command name. This selects the
blocks whose task command name appear in <cmdlist>.
Where <pidlist>, <tgidlist>, <cmdlist> are single arguments in the form of
a comma-separated list,which offers a way to specify individual selecting
rules.
For example, if you want to select blocks whose tgids are 1, 2 or 3, you
have to use 4 commands as follows:
./page_owner_sort <input> <output1> --tgid=1
./page_owner_sort <input> <output2> --tgid=2
./page_owner_sort <input> <output3> --tgid=3
cat <output1> <output2> <output3> > <output>
With this patch, you can use only 1 command to obtain the same result as
above:
./page_owner_sort <input> <output1> --tgid=1,2,3
2. Update explanations of --pid, --tgid and --name in the function
usage() and the document(Documents/vm/page_owner.rst).

When viewing page owner information, we may want to cull blocks of
information with our own rules. So it is important to enhance culling
function to provide the support for customizing culling rules.
Therefore, following adjustments are made:
1. Add --cull option to support the culling of blocks of information
with user-defined culling rules.
./page_owner_sort <input> <output> --cull=<rules>
./page_owner_sort <input> <output> --cull <rules>
<rules> is a single argument in the form of a comma-separated list to
specify individual culling rules, by the sequence of keys k1,k2, ....
Mixed use of abbreviated and complete-form of keys is allowed.
For reference, please see the document(Documentation/vm/page_owner.rst).
Now, assuming two blocks in the input file are as follows:
Page allocated via order 0, mask xxxx, pid 1, tgid 1 (task_name_demo)
PFN xxxx
prep_new_page+0xd0/0xf8
get_page_from_freelist+0x4a0/0x1290
__alloc_pages+0x168/0x340
alloc_pages+0xb0/0x158
Page allocated via order 0, mask xxxx, pid 32, tgid 32 (task_name_demo)
PFN xxxx
prep_new_page+0xd0/0xf8
get_page_from_freelist+0x4a0/0x1290
__alloc_pages+0x168/0x340
alloc_pages+0xb0/0x158
If we want to cull the blocks by stacktrace and task command name, we can
use this command:
./page_owner_sort <input> <output> --cull=stacktrace,name
The output would be like:
2 times, 2 pages, task_comm_name: task_name_demo
prep_new_page+0xd0/0xf8
get_page_from_freelist+0x4a0/0x1290
__alloc_pages+0x168/0x340
alloc_pages+0xb0/0x158
As we can see, these two blocks are culled successfully, for they share
the same pid and task command name.
However, if we want to cull the blocks by pid, stacktrace and task command
name, we can this command:
./page_owner_sort <input> <output> --cull=stacktrace,name,pid
The output would be like:
1 times, 1 pages, PID 1, task_comm_name: task_name_demo
prep_new_page+0xd0/0xf8
get_page_from_freelist+0x4a0/0x1290
__alloc_pages+0x168/0x340
alloc_pages+0xb0/0x158
1 times, 1 pages, PID 32, task_comm_name: task_name_demo
prep_new_page+0xd0/0xf8
get_page_from_freelist+0x4a0/0x1290
__alloc_pages+0x168/0x340
alloc_pages+0xb0/0x158
As we can see, these two blocks are failed to cull, for their PIDs are
different.
2. Add explanations of --cull options to the document.

When viewing page owner information, we may also need to select the blocks
by PID, TGID or task command name, which helps to get more accurate page
allocation information as needed.
Therefore, following adjustments are made:
1. Add three new options, including --pid, --tgid and --name, to support
the selection of information blocks by a specific pid, tgid and task
command name. In addtion, multiple options are allowed to be used at
the same time.
./page_owner_sort [input] [output] --pid <PID>
./page_owner_sort [input] [output] --tgid <TGID>
./page_owner_sort [input] [output] --name <TASK_COMMAND_NAME>
Assuming a scenario when a multi-threaded program, ./demo (PID =
5280), is running, and ./demo creates a child process (PID = 5281).
$ps
PID TTY TIME CMD
5215 pts/0 00:00:00 bash
5280 pts/0 00:00:00 ./demo
5281 pts/0 00:00:00 ./demo
5282 pts/0 00:00:00 ps
It would be better to filter out the records with tgid=5280 and the
task name "demo" when debugging the parent process, and the specific
usage is
./page_owner_sort [input] [output] --tgid 5280 --name demo
2. Add explanations of three new options, including --pid, --tgid and
--name, to the document.

patchset updates such parts.
This patch (of 3):
DAMON code calls the low level monitoring primitives implementations the
monitoring operations. The documentation would have no problem at still
calling those primitives implementation because there is no real
difference in the concepts, but making it more consistent with the code
would make it better. This commit therefore convert sentences in the doc
specifically pointing the implementations of the primitives to call it
monitoring operations.

Commit f7df2b1cf0 ("tools/vm/page_owner_sort.c: count and sort by mem")
added a literal text block without the necessary markup, leading to these
warnings in the docs build:
Documentation/vm/page_owner.rst:92: WARNING: Unexpected indentation.
Documentation/vm/page_owner.rst:96: WARNING: Unexpected indentation.
Documentation/vm/page_owner.rst:107: WARNING: Unexpected indentation.
Add the necessary colons and make the build quieter.

There are some words that need to be fixed.
Thanks for Shuah Khan's constructive suggestions.
The text has been fixed as follows.
a. So, if you'd like to use it, you need
to add "page_owner=on" into your boot cmdline.
Here, "into" has been replaced with "to".
b. ...page owner is disabled in runtime due to no
enabling, boot option, runtime overhead is marginal.
Here, "no" has been replaced with "not".

This is pretty much unused and not really useful. What is more, all
relevant MCA hardware has recoverable machine checks support so there's
no real need to tweak MCA tolerance levels in order to *maybe* extend
machine lifetime.
So rip it out.

Add a new document to explain Virtually Mapped Kernel Stack Support.
This is a compilation of information from the code and original patch
series that introduced the Virtually Mapped Kernel Stacks feature.
This document summarizes the feature and provides details on allocation,
free, and stack overflow handling. Provides reference to available
tests.

Documentation/vm/overcommit-accounting.rst says that the overcommit
amount can be set via vm.overcommit_ratio and vm.overcommit_kbytes.
Add a clarification that those only take effect in overcommit handling
mode 2 ("Don't overcommit"), i.e. they do not act as an "additional"
limit that is always enforced.

MIGRATE_PFN_LOCKED is used to indicate to migrate_vma_prepare() that a
source page was already locked during migrate_vma_collect(). If it
wasn't then the a second attempt is made to lock the page. However if
the first attempt failed it's unlikely a second attempt will succeed,
and the retry adds complexity. So clean this up by removing the retry
and MIGRATE_PFN_LOCKED flag.
Destination pages are also meant to have the MIGRATE_PFN_LOCKED flag
set, but nothing actually checks that.
