Patch series "mm: process/cgroup ksm support", v3. So far KSM can only be enabled by calling madvise for memory regions. To be able to use KSM for more workloads, KSM needs to have the ability to be enabled / disabled at the process / cgroup level. Use case 1: The madvise call is not available in the programming language. An example for this are programs with forked workloads using a garbage collected language without pointers. In such a language madvise cannot be made available. In addition the addresses of objects get moved around as they are garbage collected. KSM sharing needs to be enabled "from the outside" for these type of workloads. Use case 2: The same interpreter can also be used for workloads where KSM brings no benefit or even has overhead. We'd like to be able to enable KSM on a workload by workload basis. Use case 3: With the madvise call sharing opportunities are only enabled for the current process: it is a workload-local decision. A considerable number of sharing opportuniites may exist across multiple workloads or jobs. Only a higler level entity like a job scheduler or container can know for certain if its running one or more instances of a job. That job scheduler however doesn't have the necessary internal worklaod knowledge to make targeted madvise calls. Security concerns: In previous discussions security concerns have been brought up. The problem is that an individual workload does not have the knowledge about what else is running on a machine. Therefore it has to be very conservative in what memory areas can be shared or not. However, if the system is dedicated to running multiple jobs within the same security domain, its the job scheduler that has the knowledge that sharing can be safely enabled and is even desirable. Performance: Experiments with using UKSM have shown a capacity increase of around 20%. 1. New options for prctl system command This patch series adds two new options to the prctl system call. The first one allows to enable KSM at the process level and the second one to query the setting. The setting will be inherited by child processes. With the above setting, KSM can be enabled for the seed process of a cgroup and all processes in the cgroup will inherit the setting. 2. Changes to KSM processing When KSM is enabled at the process level, the KSM code will iterate over all the VMA's and enable KSM for the eligible VMA's. When forking a process that has KSM enabled, the setting will be inherited by the new child process. In addition when KSM is disabled for a process, KSM will be disabled for the VMA's where KSM has been enabled. 3. Add general_profit metric The general_profit metric of KSM is specified in the documentation, but not calculated. This adds the general profit metric to /sys/kernel/debug/mm/ksm. 4. Add more metrics to ksm_stat This adds the process profit and ksm type metric to /proc/<pid>/ksm_stat. 5. Add more tests to ksm_tests This adds an option to specify the merge type to the ksm_tests. This allows to test madvise and prctl KSM. It also adds a new option to query if prctl KSM has been enabled. It adds a fork test to verify that the KSM process setting is inherited by client processes. An update to the prctl(2) manpage has been proposed at [1]. This patch (of 3): This adds a new prctl to API to enable and disable KSM on a per process basis instead of only at the VMA basis (with madvise). 1) Introduce new MMF_VM_MERGE_ANY flag This introduces the new flag MMF_VM_MERGE_ANY flag. When this flag is set, kernel samepage merging (ksm) gets enabled for all vma's of a process. 2) add flag to __ksm_enter This change adds the flag parameter to __ksm_enter. This allows to distinguish if ksm was called by prctl or madvise. 3) add flag to __ksm_exit call This adds the flag parameter to the __ksm_exit() call. This allows to distinguish if this call is for an prctl or madvise invocation. 4) invoke madvise for all vmas in scan_get_next_rmap_item If the new flag MMF_VM_MERGE_ANY has been set for a process, iterate over all the vmas and enable ksm if possible. For the vmas that can be ksm enabled this is only done once. 5) support disabling of ksm for a process This adds the ability to disable ksm for a process if ksm has been enabled for the process. 6) add new prctl option to get and set ksm for a process This adds two new options to the prctl system call - enable ksm for all vmas of a process (if the vmas support it). - query if ksm has been enabled for a process.
