[PATCH v2 00/20] kdump, vmcore: support mmap() on /proc/vmcore

[PATCH v2 00/20] kdump, vmcore: support mmap() on /proc/vmcore

[HATAYAMA Daisuke]

Currently, read to /proc/vmcore is done by read_oldmem() that uses
ioremap/iounmap per a single page. For example, if memory is 1GB,
ioremap/iounmap is called (1GB / 4KB)-times, that is, 262144
times. This causes big performance degradation.

In particular, the current main user of this mmap() is makedumpfile,
which not only reads memory from /proc/vmcore but also does other
processing like filtering, compression and IO work. Update of page
table and the following TLB flush makes such processing much slow;
though I have yet to make patch for makedumpfile and yet to confirm
how it's improved.

To address the issue, this patch implements mmap() on /proc/vmcore to
improve read performance. My simple benchmark shows the improvement
from 200 [MiB/sec] to over 50.0 [GiB/sec].

ChangeLog
=========

v1 => v2)

- Clean up the existing codes: use e_phoff, and remove the assumption
  on PT_NOTE entries.
  => See PATCH 01, 02.

- Fix potencial bug that ELF haeader size is not included in exported
  vmcoreinfo size.
  => See Patch 03.

- Divide patch modifying read_vmcore() into two: clean-up and primary
  code change.
  => See Patch 9, 10.

- Put ELF note segments in page-size boundary on the 1st kernel
  instead of copying them into the buffer on the 2nd kernel.
  => See Patch 11, 12, 13, 14, 16.

Benchmark
=========

No change is seen from the previous patch series. See the previous
one from here:

  https://lkml.org/lkml/2013/2/14/89

TODO
====

- fix makedumpfile to use mmap() on /proc/vmcore and benchmark it to
  confirm whether we can see enough performance improvement. The idea
  is described here:
  http://lists.infradead.org/pipermail/kexec/2013-February/007982.html

- fix crash utility and makedumpfile to support NT_VMCORE_PAD note
  type. Both tools don't distinguish the same note types from
  different note names, which is not conform to ELF specification; now
  both reads NT_VMCORE_PAD note type as NT_VMCORE_DEBUGINFO.

Test
====

This patch set is composed based on v3.9-rc1.

Done on x86-64, x86-32 both with 1GB and over 4GB memory environments.

[PATCH v2 01/20] vmcore: refer to e_phoff member explicitly

[HATAYAMA Daisuke]

Code around /proc/vmcore currently assumes program header table is
next to ELF header. But future change can break the assumption on
kexec-tools and the 1st kernel. To avoid worst case, now refer to
e_phoff member that indicates position of program header table in
file-offset.

[PATCH v2 02/20] vmcore: rearrange program headers without assuming consequtive PT_NOTE entries

[HATAYAMA Daisuke]

Current code assumes all PT_NOTE headers are placed at the beginning
of program header table and they are consequtive. But the assumption
could be broken by future changes on either kexec-tools or the 1st
kernel. This patch removes the assumption and rearranges program
headers as the following conditions are satisfied:

- PT_NOTE entry is unique at the first entry,

- the order of program headers are unchanged during this
  rearrangement, only their positions are changed in positive
  direction.

- unused part that occurs in the bottom of program headers are filled
  with 0.

Also, this patch adds one exceptional case where the number of PT_NOTE
entries is somehow 0. Then, immediately go out of the function.

[PATCH v2 03/20] vmcore, sysfs: export ELF note segment size instead of vmcoreinfo data size

[HATAYAMA Daisuke]

p_memsz member of program header entry with PT_NOTE type needs to have
size of the corresponding ELF note segment. Currently, vmcoreinfo
exports data part only. If vmcoreinfo reachs vmcoreinfo_max_size, then
in merge_note_headers_elf{32,64}, empty ELF note header cannot be
found or buffer overrun can happen.

Note: kexec-tools assigns PAGE_SIZE to p_memsz for other ELF note
types. Due to the above reason, the same issue occurs if actual ELF
note data exceeds (PAGE_SIZE - 2 * KEXEC_NOTE_HEAD_BYTES).

[PATCH v2 04/20] vmcore: allocate buffer for ELF headers on page-size alignment

[HATAYAMA Daisuke]

Allocate buffer for ELF headers on page-size aligned boudary to
satisfy mmap() requirement. For this, __get_free_pages() is used
instead of kmalloc().

Also, later patch will decrease actually used buffer size for ELF
headers, so it's necessary to keep original buffer size and actually
used buffer size separately. elfcorebuf_sz_orig keeps the original one
and elfcorebuf_sz the actually used one.

[PATCH v2 04/20] vmcore: allocate buffer for ELF headers on page-size alignment

[HATAYAMA Daisuke]

Allocate buffer for ELF headers on page-size aligned boudary to
satisfy mmap() requirement. For this, __get_free_pages() is used
instead of kmalloc().

Also, later patch will decrease actually used buffer size for ELF
headers, so it's necessary to keep original buffer size and actually
used buffer size separately. elfcorebuf_sz_orig keeps the original one
and elfcorebuf_sz the actually used one.

[PATCH v2 05/20] vmcore: round up buffer size of ELF headers by PAGE_SIZE

[HATAYAMA Daisuke]

To satisfy mmap() page-size boundary requirement, round up buffer size
of ELF headers by PAGE_SIZE. The resulting value becomes offset of ELF
note segments and it's assigned in unique PT_NOTE program header
entry.

Also, some part that assumes past ELF headers' size is replaced by
this new rounded-up value.

[PATCH v2 06/20] vmcore, procfs: introduce a flag to distinguish objects copied in 2nd kernel

[HATAYAMA Daisuke]

The part of dump target memory is copied into the 2nd kernel if it
doesn't satisfy mmap()'s page-size boundary requirement. To
distinguish such copied object from usual old memory, a flag
MEM_TYPE_CURRENT_KERNEL is introduced. If this flag is set, the object
is considered being copied into buffer on the 2nd kernel.

[PATCH v2 07/20] vmcore: copy non page-size aligned head and tail pages in 2nd kernel

[HATAYAMA Daisuke]

Due to mmap() requirement, we need to copy pages not starting or
ending with page-size aligned address in 2nd kernel and to map them to
user-space.

For example, see the map below:

    00000000-0001ffff : reserved
    00010000-0009f7ff : System RAM
    0009f800-0009ffff : reserved

where the System RAM ends with 0x9f800 that is not page-size
aligned. This map is divided into two parts:

    00010000-0009dfff
    0009f000-0009f7ff

and the first one is kept in old memory and the 2nd one is copied into
buffer on 2nd kernel.

This kind of non-page-size-aligned area can always occur since any
part of System RAM can be converted into reserved area at runtime.

If not doing copying like this and if remapping non page-size aligned
pages on old memory directly, mmap() had to export memory which is not
dump target to user-space. In the above example this is reserved
0x9f800-0xa0000.

[PATCH v2 07/20] vmcore: copy non page-size aligned head and tail pages in 2nd kernel

[HATAYAMA Daisuke]

Due to mmap() requirement, we need to copy pages not starting or
ending with page-size aligned address in 2nd kernel and to map them to
user-space.

For example, see the map below:

    00000000-0001ffff : reserved
    00010000-0009f7ff : System RAM
    0009f800-0009ffff : reserved

where the System RAM ends with 0x9f800 that is not page-size
aligned. This map is divided into two parts:

    00010000-0009dfff
    0009f000-0009f7ff

and the first one is kept in old memory and the 2nd one is copied into
buffer on 2nd kernel.

This kind of non-page-size-aligned area can always occur since any
part of System RAM can be converted into reserved area at runtime.

If not doing copying like this and if remapping non page-size aligned
pages on old memory directly, mmap() had to export memory which is not
dump target to user-space. In the above example this is reserved
0x9f800-0xa0000.

[PATCH v2 08/20] vmcore: modify vmcore clean-up function to free buffer on 2nd kernel

[HATAYAMA Daisuke]

If flag MEM_TYPE_CURRENT_KERNEL is set, the object is copied in some
buffer on the 2nd kernel, so clean-up funciton needs to free it.

[PATCH v2 09/20] vmcore: clean up read_vmcore()

[HATAYAMA Daisuke]

Clean up read_vmcore(). Part for objects in vmcore_list can be written
uniformly to part for ELF headers. By this change, duplicate and
complicated codes are removed, so it's more clear to see what's done
there.

Also, by this change, map_offset_to_paddr() is no longer used. Remove
it.

[PATCH v2 10/20] vmcore: read buffers for vmcore objects copied from old memory

[HATAYAMA Daisuke]

If flag MEM_TYPE_CURRENT_KERNEL is set, the object is copied in the
buffer on the 2nd kernel, then read_vmcore() reads the buffer. If the
flag is not set, read_vmcore() reads old memory as usual.

[PATCH v2 11/20] vmcore: allocate per-cpu crash_notes objects on page-size boundary

[HATAYAMA Daisuke]

To satisfy mmap()'s page-size boundary requirement, allocate per-cpu
crash_notes objects on page-size boundary.

/proc/vmcore on the 2nd kernel checks if each note objects is
allocated on page-size boundary. If there's some object not satisfying
the page-size boundary requirement, /proc/vmcore doesn't provide
mmap() interface.

[PATCH v2 14/20] elf: introduce NT_VMCORE_PAD type

[HATAYAMA Daisuke]

The NT_VMCORE_PAD type is introduced to make both crash_notes buffer
and vmcoreinfo_note buffer satisfy mmap()'s page-size boundary
requirement by filling them with this note type.

The purpose of this type is just to align the buffer in page-size
boundary; it has no meaning in contents, which are fully filled with
zero.

This note type belongs to "VMCOREINFO" name space and the type in this
name space is 7. The reason why the numbers from 1 to 5 is not chosen
is that for the ones from 1 to 4, there are the corresponding note
types using the same number in "CORE" name space, and crash utility
and makedumpfile don't distinguish note types by name space at all;
for the remaining 5, this has somehow not been used since v2.4.0
kernel despite the fact that NT_AUXV is defined as 6. It looks that it
avoids some dependency to 5. Here simply 5 is not chosen for
conservative viewpoint.

By this change, gdb and binutils work well without any change, but
makedumpfile and crash utility need their changes to distinguish two
note types in "VMCOREINFO" name space.

Fill both crash_notes and vmcoreinfo_note buffers by NT_VMCORE_PAD
note type to make them satisfy mmap()'s page-size boundary

So far, end of note segments has been marked by zero-filled elf

note segments until the offset on page-size boundary.

[PATCH v2 15/20] kexec: fill note buffers by NT_VMCORE_PAD notes in page-size boundary

[HATAYAMA Daisuke]

Fill both crash_notes and vmcoreinfo_note buffers by NT_VMCORE_PAD
note type to make them satisfy mmap()'s page-size boundary
requirement.

So far, end of note segments has been marked by zero-filled elf
header. Instead, this patch writes NT_VMCORE_PAD note in the end of
note segments until the offset on page-size boundary.

[PATCH v2 17/20] vmcore: check if vmcore objects satify mmap()'s page-size boundary requirement

[HATAYAMA Daisuke]

If there's some vmcore object that doesn't satisfy page-size boundary
requirement, remap_pfn_range() fails to remap it to user-space.

Objects that posisbly don't satisfy the requirement are ELF note
segments only. The memory chunks corresponding to PT_LOAD entries are
guaranteed to satisfy page-size boundary requirement by the copy from
old memory to buffer in 2nd kernel done in later patch.

[PATCH v2 18/20] vmcore: round-up offset of vmcore object in page-size boundary

[HATAYAMA Daisuke]

To satisfy mmap()'s page-size bounary requirement, round-up offset of
each vmcore objects in page-size boundary; each offset is connected to
user-space virtual address through mapping of mmap().

[PATCH v2 20/20] vmcore: introduce mmap_vmcore()

[HATAYAMA Daisuke]

This patch introduces mmap_vmcore().

If flag MEM_TYPE_CURRENT_KERNEL is set, remapped is the buffer on the
2nd kernel. If not set, remapped is some area in old memory.

Neither writable nor executable mapping is permitted even with
mprotect(). Non-writable mapping is also requirement of
remap_pfn_range() when mapping linear pages on non-consequtive
physical pages; see is_cow_mapping().

On x86-32 PAE kernels, mmap() supports at most 16TB memory only. This
limitation comes from the fact that the third argument of
remap_pfn_range(), pfn, is of 32-bit length on x86-32: unsigned long.

After applying the patch, there are two "j" defined.

is there any problem with this move? What is the batch bytes for every loop
of memmove? 

if i_ptnode == 2, so we have

-------------------------------------
| PT_LOAD 1 | PT_LOAD 2 | PT_NOTE 1 |
-------------------------------------

-->

-------------------------------------
|           | PT_LOAD 1 | PT_LOAD 2 |
-------------------------------------

right? In the move, Does PT_LOAD 1 overwrite the original PT_LOAD 2?

After applying the patch, there are two "j" defined.

is there any problem with this move? What is the batch bytes for every loop
of memmove? 

if i_ptnode == 2, so we have

-------------------------------------
| PT_LOAD 1 | PT_LOAD 2 | PT_NOTE 1 |
-------------------------------------

-->

-------------------------------------
|           | PT_LOAD 1 | PT_LOAD 2 |
-------------------------------------

right? In the move, Does PT_LOAD 1 overwrite the original PT_LOAD 2?

I've already noticed the name of the inner j is never best in meaning
under development but I didn't make patch for it; it's beyond the
scope of this patch series.

I'll replace the outer j by another incremental variable like k.

Right and yes, see man memmove and man memcpy, and please compare
them.

Right and yes, see man memmove and man memcpy, and please compare
them.

Sorry, I noticed this "buffer overrun can happen" was completely
wrong. In merge_note_headers_elf{32,64}, the size is being checked to
avoid buffer overrun.

                int j;
                void *notes_section;
                struct vmcore *new;
                u64 offset, max_sz, sz, real_sz = 0;
...
                for (j = 0; j < max_sz; j += sz) {
                        if (nhdr_ptr->n_namesz == 0)
                                break;
                        sz = sizeof(Elf32_Nhdr) +
                                ((nhdr_ptr->n_namesz + 3) & ~3) +
                                ((nhdr_ptr->n_descsz + 3) & ~3);
                        real_sz += sz;
                        nhdr_ptr = (Elf32_Nhdr*)((char*)nhdr_ptr + sz);
                }

But later patch changes teminator of ELF note segments from the null
not header to NT_VMCORE_PAD note type. It's important to export a
whole buffer for ELF note segments, not data part only. This patch
description doesn't explain this, and I'll add this explanation in the
next version.

Also, here j has int type but the other variables compared with the j
have u64 type. This is strange, and in fact verbose because for the
purpose of the j, real_sz seems exact. I'll replace the for statement
by while statement in additional clean-up patch as:

  while (real_sz < max_sz) {
    ..
  }

Thanks.

In the codes below, it seems that you assign name "VMCOREINFO" for
note type NT_VMCORE_PAD, right? This is kind of wired, i think. This
name has been used for NT_VMCORE_DEBUGINFO note already. Why not something
like "VMCOREPAD" or "PAD"?

It looks you are confusing or don't know name and type. The name is
namespace and in the namespace, there are multiple note types, each of
which has the corresponding data. In other words, data corresponding
to types differ if they belong to differnet name space even if
integers of the types are coincide with.

The "VMCOREINFO" name represents information exported from
/proc/vmcore that is used in kdump framework. In this sense,
NT_VMCORE_PAD that is specific for /proc/vmcore and kdump framework,
should belong to the "VMCOREINFO" name.

Thanks.

Yes, I knew this. Just as the spec said " a program must recognize both the name
and the type to recognize a descriptor.". But I cannot understand what your word
"namespace" came from? I think you complicate simple things here.

Only with a type, we cannot recognize a descriptor, because "multiple
interpretations of
a single type value may exist", So we should combine the name and the type
together. If both the name and type of two descriptors are the same,
we could say we
have two same descriptors. If one of them (type or name) are
different, we say the
two descriptors are different and the two notes have different data.

If I am wrong, please correct me.

I cannot understand the name explanation totally. Does the name really
have this meaning? Is there any authentic document? I was always thinking we
could feel free to name a name by ourselves!

??? I think you're saying here the same thing as my explanation above.

Although the term ''name space'' never occurs in ELF, it seems to me
standard to represent the same values as different ones by combining
additional elements as names to them.

Well, formally, it is represented as simply tuples or vector
space. For example, support set S and S' and define new set S x S' by

  S x S' := { (s, s') | s in S, s' in S' }

and equality of the S x S' are defined as usual:

  (s1, s1') == (s2, s2') iff s1 == s2 and s1' == s2'.

In ELF, S is names and S' is types. There's no other formal meaning
there.

Of course, it's optional for you to decide how to name notes within
the mechanism. But it's important to treat naming for ease of managing
note types. In addition to the above formal definition, it's important
to consider what name gives us. It's readability, telling us that note
types that belong to unique name are treated in common in the sense of
the name. This is apart from the formal definition above.

It's certainly possible to distinguish notes by giving names only and
not giving types. For example, imagine there are new 27 notes and they
have different names but have 0 as type.

name          type
"SOME_NOTE_A" 0
"SOME_NOTE_B" 0
...
"SOME_NOTE_Z" 0

Also, for example,

name        type
"SOME_NOTE" 0     => NT_SOME_NOTE_A
"SOME_NOTE" 1     => NT_SOME_NOTE_B
...
"SOME_NOTE" 26    => NT_SOME_NOTE_Z

For the former case, it *looks to me* that space of time is not used
effectively and it *looks to me* that space of name is not consumed
efficiently.

After all, it amounts to individual preference about naming. I cannot
say anything more.

Thanks.

I see. I know what you mean now. I was just surprised and puzzled about your
"namespace" concept. 

Other than the name of NT_VMCORE_PAD, no complaints about the code.

I see. I know what you mean now. I was just surprised and puzzled about your
"namespace" concept. 

Other than the name of NT_VMCORE_PAD, no complaints about the code.

Here the code changes phdr_ptr->p_offset to a new page-size aligned offset.
But it seems the phdr_ptr->p_paddr is still the non page-size aligned
physical address? Does the mismatch of a PT_LOAD segment and the physical
memory occur?

Or, later in makedumpfile, it will check the phdr_ptr->paddr to see if it
is page-size aligned and also phdr_ptr->p_memsz to get the real memory size,
not including padding?

But it seems the phdr_ptr->p_paddr is still the non page-size aligned

One minor suggestion.

Previously, when the code assumes program headers are following immediately
the ELF header, it uses

 elfcorebuf_sz = sizeof(Elf64_Ehdr) + ehdr.e_phnum * sizeof(Elf64_Phdr);

to calculate the size of ELF header and ELF program headers

This patch avoids the assumption, and uses ehdr.e_phoff to get the program
headers' address. But it will read unrelated contents into elfcorebuf if
program headers are not following immediately the ELF header. So could the
code be:

elfcorebuf_sz = sizeof(Elf64_Ehdr) + ehdr.e_phnum * sizeof(Elf64_Phdr);
addr = elfcorehdr_addr + ehdr.e_phoff;
memcpy(elfcorebuf, &ehdr, sizeof(Elf64_Ehdr));
read_from_oldmem(elfcorebuf + sizeof(Elf64_Ehdr), elfcorebuf_sz -
                 sizeof(Elf64_Ehdr), &addr, 0);
(Elf64_Ehdr *)elfcorebuf->e_phoff = sizeof(Elf64_Ehdr);

This patch avoids the assumption, and uses ehdr.e_phoff to get the program
headers' address. But it will read unrelated contents into elfcorebuf if
program headers are not following immediately the ELF header. So could the
code be:

elfcorebuf_sz = sizeof(Elf64_Ehdr) + ehdr.e_phnum * sizeof(Elf64_Phdr);
addr = elfcorehdr_addr + ehdr.e_phoff;
memcpy(elfcorebuf, &ehdr, sizeof(Elf64_Ehdr));
read_from_oldmem(elfcorebuf + sizeof(Elf64_Ehdr), elfcorebuf_sz -
                 sizeof(Elf64_Ehdr), &addr, 0);
(Elf64_Ehdr *)elfcorebuf->e_phoff = sizeof(Elf64_Ehdr);

No, it doesn't happen. p_offset is made page-size aligned for
requirement to user-space linear-address vs file offset. The
requirement for physical address is handled internally in vmcore_list,
which is transparent to to user-space.

Thanks. This is not minor suggestion. This is critical. My code is
completely broken. On ELF, segments and headers other than ELF header
can occur in any positions. This means program header table can occur
after segments. So, on terabyte systems, e_phoff can be more than
terabytes.

Sorry, this was due to my carelessness.

Thanks.

Agreed. It is safer to not copy al the bits till e_phoff.
