kfence: skip __GFP_THISNODE allocations on NUMA systems

kfence: skip __GFP_THISNODE allocations on NUMA systems

commit e64f81946adf68cd75e2207dd9a51668348a4af8 upstream.

On NUMA systems, __GFP_THISNODE indicates that an allocation _must_ be on
a particular node, and failure to allocate on the desired node will result
in a failed allocation.

Skip __GFP_THISNODE allocations if we are running on a NUMA system, since
KFENCE can't guarantee which node its pool pages are allocated on.

kfence: Defer the assignment of the local variable addr

The LoongArch architecture is different from other architectures. It
needs to update __kfence_pool during arch_kfence_init_pool().

This patch modifies the assignment location of the local variable addr
in the kfence_init_pool() function to support the case of updating
__kfence_pool in arch_kfence_init_pool().

kfence_metadata is currently a static array. For the purpose of
allocating scalable __kfence_pool, we first change it to runtime
allocation of metadata. Since the size of an object of kfence_metadata is
1160 bytes, we can save at least 72 pages (with default 256 objects)
without enabling kfence.

some scalability benefits.

- Kirill Shutemov has changed MAX_ORDER's meaning to be inclusive

caused by its unintuitive meaning.

DRM, but DRM doesn't use it any more.

- Lorenzo has also coverted read_kcore() and vread() to use iterators
and has thereby removed the use of bounce buffers in some cases.

- Lorenzo has also contributed further cleanups of vma_merge().

- Chaitanya Prakash provides some fixes to the mmap selftesting code.

- Matthew Wilcox changes xfs and afs so they no longer take sleeping
locks in ->map_page(), a step towards RCUification of pagefaults.

per-VMA locking.

- Frederic Weisbecker has reworked the percpu cache draining so that it
no longer causes latency glitches on cpu isolated workloads.

flushing.

KVM/arm64 updates for 6.4

- Numerous fixes for the pathological lock inversion issue that
plagued KVM/arm64 since... forever.

- New framework allowing SMCCC-compliant hypercalls to be forwarded
to userspace, hopefully paving the way for some more features
being moved to VMMs rather than be implemented in the kernel.

- Large rework of the timer code to allow a VM-wide offset to be
applied to both virtual and physical counters as well as a
per-timer, per-vcpu offset that complements the global one.
This last part allows the NV timer code to be implemented on
top.

- A small set of fixes to make sure that we don't change anything
affecting the EL1&0 translation regime just after having having
taken an exception to EL2 until we have executed a DSB. This
ensures that speculative walks started in EL1&0 have completed.

"ACPI:

- Improve error reporting when failing to manage SDEI on AGDI device
removal

Assembly routines:

- Improve register constraints so that the compiler can make use of
the zero register instead of moving an immediate #0 into a GPR

- Allow the compiler to allocate the registers used for CAS
instructions

CPU features and system registers:

- Cleanups to the way in which CPU features are identified from the
ID register fields

- Extend system register definition generation to handle Enum types
when defining shared register fields

- Generate definitions for new _EL2 registers and add new fields for
ID_AA64PFR1_EL1

- Allow SVE to be disabled separately from SME on the kernel
command-line

Tracing:

- Support for "direct calls" in ftrace, which enables BPF tracing for
arm64

Kdump:

- Don't bother unmapping the crashkernel from the linear mapping,
which then allows us to use huge (block) mappings and reduce TLB
pressure when a crashkernel is loaded.

Memory management:

- Try again to remove data cache invalidation from the coherent DMA
allocation path

- Simplify the fixmap code by mapping at page granularity

- Allow the kfence pool to be allocated early, preventing the rest of
the linear mapping from being forced to page granularity

Perf and PMU:

- Move CPU PMU code out to drivers/perf/ where it can be reused by
the 32-bit ARM architecture when running on ARMv8 CPUs

- Fix race between CPU PMU probing and pKVM host de-privilege

- Add support for Apple M2 CPU PMU

- Adjust the generic PERF_COUNT_HW_BRANCH_INSTRUCTIONS event
dynamically, depending on what the CPU actually supports

- Minor fixes and cleanups to system PMU drivers

Stack tracing:

- Use the XPACLRI instruction to strip PAC from pointers, rather than
rolling our own function in C

- Remove redundant PAC removal for toolchains that handle this in
their builtins

- Make backtracing more resilient in the face of instrumentation

Miscellaneous:

- Fix single-step with KGDB

- Remove harmless warning when 'nokaslr' is passed on the kernel

Merge branch 'i2c/for-current' into i2c/for-mergewindow

This should have been in 6.3, but sadly I missed it.

Merge branch 'v6.3-rc7'

mm: kfence: improve the performance of __kfence_alloc() and __kfence_free()

In __kfence_alloc() and __kfence_free(), we will set and check canary.
Assuming that the size of the object is close to 0

mm: kfence: improve the performance of __kfence_alloc() and __kfence_free()

In __kfence_alloc() and __kfence_free(), we will set and check canary.
Assuming that the size of the object is close to 0, nearly 4k memory
accesses are required because setting and checking canary is executed byte
by byte.

canary is now defined like this:
KFENCE_CANARY_PATTERN(addr) ((u8)0xaa ^ (u8)((unsigned long)(addr) & 0x7))

Observe that canary is only related to the lower three bits of the
address, so every 8 bytes of canary are the same. We can access 8-byte
canary each time instead of byte-by-byte, thereby optimizing nearly 4k
memory accesses to 4k/8 times.

Use the bcc tool funclatency to measure the latency of __kfence_alloc()
and __kfence_free(), the numbers (deleted the distribution of latency) is
posted below. Though different object sizes will have an impact on the
measurement, we ignore it for now and assume the average object size is
roughly equal.

Before patching:
__kfence_alloc:
avg = 5055 nsecs, total: 5515252 nsecs, count: 1091
__kfence_free:
avg = 5319 nsecs, total: 9735130 nsecs, count: 1830

After patching:
__kfence_alloc:
avg = 3597 nsecs, total: 6428491 nsecs, count: 1787
__kfence_free:
avg = 3046 nsecs, total: 3415390 nsecs, count: 1121

The numbers indicate that there is ~30% - ~40% performance improvement.
