Earlier, vmap_area_list is exported to vmcoreinfo so that makedumpfile get
the base address of vmalloc area. Now, vmap_area_list is empty, so export
VMALLOC_START to vmcoreinfo instead, and remove vmap_area_list.

For debugging kernel panics and other bugs, there is already an option of
panic_print to dump all tasks' call stacks. On today's large servers
running many containers, there could be thousands of tasks or more, and
this will print out huge amount of call stacks, taking a lot of time (for
serial console which is main target user case of panic_print).
And in many cases, only those several tasks being blocked are key for the
panic, so add an option to only dump blocked tasks' call stacks.

After 25b21cb2f6d6 ("[PATCH] IPC namespace core") and 4e9823111bdc
("[PATCH] IPC namespace - shm") the shared memory page count stopped being
global and started counting per ipc namespace. The documentation and
shmget(2) still says that shmall is a global option.
shmget(2):
SHMALL System-wide limit on the total amount of shared memory, measured in
units of the system page size. On Linux, this limit can be read and
modified via /proc/sys/kernel/shmall.
I think the changes made in 2006 should be documented.

DAMOS operation actions are explained nearly twice on the DAMON usage
document, once for the sysfs interface, and then again for the debugfs
interface. Duplication is bad. Also it would better to keep this kind of

and focus on only the usage. Move the list to design document and update

Currently the default compression algorithm is selected based on
compile time options. Introduce a module parameter "hibernate.compressor"
to override this behaviour.
Different compression algorithms have different characteristics and
hibernation may benefit when it uses any of these algorithms, especially
when a secondary algorithm(LZ4) offers better decompression speeds over
a default algorithm(LZO), which in turn reduces hibernation image
restore time.
Users can override the default algorithm in two ways:
1) Passing "hibernate.compressor" as kernel command line parameter.
Usage:
LZO: hibernate.compressor=lzo
LZ4: hibernate.compressor=lz4
2) Specifying the algorithm at runtime.
Usage:
LZO: echo lzo > /sys/module/hibernate/parameters/compressor
LZ4: echo lz4 > /sys/module/hibernate/parameters/compressor
Currently LZO and LZ4 are the supported algorithms. LZO is the default
compression algorithm used with hibernation.

When a system has multiple NUMA nodes and it becomes bandwidth hungry,
using the current MPOL_INTERLEAVE could be an wise option.
However, if those NUMA nodes consist of different types of memory such as
socket-attached DRAM and CXL/PCIe attached DRAM, the round-robin based
interleave policy does not optimally distribute data to make use of their
different bandwidth characteristics.
Instead, interleave is more effective when the allocation policy follows
each NUMA nodes' bandwidth weight rather than a simple 1:1 distribution.
This patch introduces a new memory policy, MPOL_WEIGHTED_INTERLEAVE,
enabling weighted interleave between NUMA nodes. Weighted interleave
allows for proportional distribution of memory across multiple numa nodes,
preferably apportioned to match the bandwidth of each node.
For example, if a system has 1 CPU node (0), and 2 memory nodes (0,1),
with bandwidth of (100GB/s, 50GB/s) respectively, the appropriate weight
distribution is (2:1).
Weights for each node can be assigned via the new sysfs extension:
/sys/kernel/mm/mempolicy/weighted_interleave/
For now, the default value of all nodes will be `1`, which matches the
behavior of standard 1:1 round-robin interleave. An extension will be
added in the future to allow default values to be registered at kernel and
device bringup time.
The policy allocates a number of pages equal to the set weights. For
example, if the weights are (2,1), then 2 pages will be allocated on node0
for every 1 page allocated on node1.
The new flag MPOL_WEIGHTED_INTERLEAVE can be used in set_mempolicy(2)
and mbind(2).
Some high level notes about the pieces of weighted interleave:
current->il_prev:
Tracks the node previously allocated from.
current->il_weight:
The active weight of the current node (current->il_prev)
When this reaches 0, current->il_prev is set to the next node
and current->il_weight is set to the next weight.
weighted_interleave_nodes:
Counts the number of allocations as they occur, and applies the
weight for the current node. When the weight reaches 0, switch
to the next node. Operates only on task->mempolicy.
weighted_interleave_nid:
Gets the total weight of the nodemask as well as each individual
node weight, then calculates the node based on the given index.
Operates on VMA policies.
bulk_array_weighted_interleave:
Gets the total weight of the nodemask as well as each individual
node weight, then calculates the number of "interleave rounds" as
well as any delta ("partial round"). Calculates the number of
pages for each node and allocates them.
If a node was scheduled for interleave via interleave_nodes, the
current weight will be allocated first.
Operates only on the task->mempolicy.
One piece of complexity is the interaction between a recent refactor which
split the logic to acquire the "ilx" (interleave index) of an allocation
and the actually application of the interleave. If a call to
alloc_pages_mpol() were made with a weighted-interleave policy and ilx set
to NO_INTERLEAVE_INDEX, weighted_interleave_nodes() would operate on a VMA
policy - violating the description above.
An inspection of all callers of alloc_pages_mpol() shows that all external
callers set ilx to `0`, an index value, or will call get_vma_policy() to
acquire the ilx.
For example, mm/shmem.c may call into alloc_pages_mpol. The call stacks
all set (pgoff_t ilx) or end up in `get_vma_policy()`. This enforces the
`weighted_interleave_nodes()` and `weighted_interleave_nid()` policy
requirements (task/vma respectively).

Patch series "mm/damon: make DAMON debugfs interface deprecation
unignorable".
DAMON debugfs interface is deprecated in February 2023, by commit
5445fcbc4cda ("Docs/admin-guide/mm/damon/usage: add DAMON debugfs
interface deprecation notice"). Make the fact unable to be easily ignored
by removing an example usage from the document (patch 1), renaming the
config (patch 2), adding a deprecation notice file to the debugfs
directory (patches 3-5), and renaming the debugfs file that essnetial to
be used for real use of DAMON (patches 6-9).
This patch (of 9):
DAMON tracepoints example on the DAMON usage document is using DAMON
debugfs interface, which is deprecated. Use its alternative, DAMON sysfs
interface.

When CONFIG_WQ_CPU_INTENSIVE_REPORT is set, the kernel will report
the work functions which violate the intensive_threshold_us repeatedly.
And now, only when the violate times exceed 4 and is a power of 2,
the kernel warning could be triggered.
However, sometimes, even if a long work execution time occurs only once,
it may cause other work to be delayed for a long time. This may also
cause some problems sometimes.
In order to freely control the threshold of warninging, a boot argument
is added so that the user can control the warning threshold to be printed.
At the same time, keep the exponential backoff to prevent reporting too much.
By default, the warning threshold is 4.

On a 8-socket server the TSC is wrongly marked as 'unstable' and disabled
during boot time on about one out of 120 boot attempts:
clocksource: timekeeping watchdog on CPU227: wd-tsc-wd excessive read-back delay of 153560ns vs. limit of 125000ns,
wd-wd read-back delay only 11440ns, attempt 3, marking tsc unstable
tsc: Marking TSC unstable due to clocksource watchdog
TSC found unstable after boot, most likely due to broken BIOS. Use 'tsc=unstable'.
sched_clock: Marking unstable (119294969739, 159204297)<-(125446229205, -5992055152)
clocksource: Checking clocksource tsc synchronization from CPU 319 to CPUs 0,99,136,180,210,542,601,896.
clocksource: Switched to clocksource hpet
The reason is that for platform with a large number of CPUs, there are
sporadic big or huge read latencies while reading the watchog/clocksource
during boot or when system is under stress work load, and the frequency and
maximum value of the latency goes up with the number of online CPUs.
The cCurrent code already has logic to detect and filter such high latency
case by reading the watchdog twice and checking the two deltas. Due to the
randomness of the latency, there is a low probabilty that the first delta
(latency) is big, but the second delta is small and looks valid. The
watchdog code retries the readouts by default twice, which is not
necessarily sufficient for systems with a large number of CPUs.
There is a command line parameter 'max_cswd_read_retries' which allows to
increase the number of retries, but that's not user friendly as it needs to
be tweaked per system. As the number of required retries is proportional to
the number of online CPUs, this parameter can be calculated at runtime.
Scale and enlarge the number of retries according to the number of online
CPUs and remove the command line parameter completely.

When a kdump kernel is started from a crashing CPU then there is no
guarantee that this CPU is the real boot CPU (BSP). If the kdump kernel
tries to online the BSP then the INIT sequence will reset the machine.
There is a command line option to prevent this, but in case of nested kdump
kernels this is wrong.
But that command line option is not required at all because the real
BSP is enumerated as the first CPU by firmware. Support for the only
known system which was different (Voyager) got removed long ago.
Detect whether the boot CPU APIC ID is the first APIC ID enumerated by
the firmware. If the first APIC ID enumerated is not matching the boot
CPU APIC ID then skip registering it.

Specify:
rcutree.enable_rcu_lazy=[y|1|n|0]
Which also requires

at boot time to enable/disable lazy RCU.
To disable it by default at build time when CONFIG_RCU_LAZY=y, the new

These are not necessarily bugs, given that some kernel boot parameters
are intended for deep debugging rather than general use.
This work does not cover all of the kernel boot parameters declared using
cmdline_find_option() and cmdline_find_option_bool(). If these are in
fact guaranteed to be early (which appears to be the case), they can be
added in a later version of this patch.

The number of possible CPUs is set be kernel in early boot time through
some discovery mechanisms, like ACPI in x86. We have a parameter both
in x86 and S390 to override that - there are some cases of BIOSes exposing
more possible CPUs than the available ones, so this parameter is a good
testing mechanism, but for some reason wasn't mentioned so far in the
kernel parameters guide - let's fix that.

Let command line option "fred" accept multiple options to make it
easier to tweak its behavior.
Currently, two options 'on' and 'off' are allowed, and the default
behavior is to disable FRED. To enable FRED, append "fred=on" to the
kernel command line.

Commit 1db9d06aaa55 ("mm/slab: remove CONFIG_SLAB from all Kconfig and
Makefile") removes the config SLAB and makes the SLUB allocator the only
default allocator in the kernel. Hence, the advice on reducing OS jitter
due to kworker kernel threads to build with CONFIG_SLUB instead of
CONFIG_SLAB is obsolete.
Remove the obsolete advice to build with SLUB instead of SLAB.

Since the SLAB allocator has been removed, so we can clean up the
sl[au]b_$params. With only one slab allocator left, it's better to use the
generic "slab" term instead of "slub" which is an implementation detail,
which is pointed out by Vlastimil Babka. For more information please see
[1]. Hence, we are going to use "slab_$param" as the primary prefix.
This patch is changing the following slab parameters
- slub_max_order
- slub_min_order
- slub_min_objects
- slub_debug
to
- slab_max_order
- slab_min_order
- slab_min_objects
- slab_debug
as the primary slab parameters for all references of them in docs and
comments. But this patch won't change variables and functions inside
slub as we will have wider slub/slab change.
Meanwhile, "slub_$params" can also be passed by command line, which is
to keep backward compatibility. Also mark all "slub_$params" as legacy.
Remove the separate descriptions for slub_[no]merge, append legacy tip
for them at the end of descriptions of slab_[no]merge.
