[PATCH v5] mm: introduce reference pages

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Introduce a new syscall, refpage_create, which returns a file
descriptor which may be mapped using mmap. Such a mapping is similar
to an anonymous mapping, but instead of clean pages being backed by the
zero page, they are instead backed by a so-called reference page, whose
contents are specified using an argument to refpage_create. Loads from
the mapping will load directly from the reference page, and initial
stores to the mapping will copy-on-write from the reference page.

Reference pages are useful in circumstances where anonymous mappings
combined with manual stores to memory would impose undesirable costs,
either in terms of performance or RSS. Use cases are focused on heap
allocators and include:

- Pattern initialization for the heap. This is where malloc(3) gives
  you memory whose contents are filled with a non-zero pattern
  byte, in order to help detect and mitigate bugs involving use
  of uninitialized memory. Typically this is implemented by having
  the allocator memset the allocation with the pattern byte before
  returning it to the user, but for large allocations this can result
  in a significant increase in RSS, especially for allocations that
  are used sparsely. Even for dense allocations there is a needless
  impact to startup performance when it may be better to amortize it
  throughout the program. By creating allocations using a reference
  page filled with the pattern byte, we can avoid these costs.

- Pre-tagged heap memory. Memory tagging [1] is an upcoming ARMv8.5
  feature which allows for memory to be tagged in order to detect
  certain kinds of memory errors with low overhead. In order to set
  up an allocation to allow memory errors to be detected, the entire
  allocation needs to have the same tag. The issue here is similar to
  pattern initialization in the sense that large tagged allocations
  will be expensive if the tagging is done up front. The idea is that
  the allocator would create reference pages with each of the possible
  memory tags, and use those reference pages for the large allocations.

This patch includes specific optimizations for these use cases in
order to reduce memory traffic. If the reference page consists of a
single repeating byte, the page is initialized using memset, and on
arm64 if the reference page consists of a uniformly tagged zero page,
the DC GZVA instruction is used to initialize the page.

In order to measure the performance and RSS impact of reference pages,
I used the following microbenchmark program, which is intended to
compare an implementation of heap pattern initialization that uses
memset to initialize the pages against an implementation that uses
reference pages:

  #include <stdio.h>
  #include <stdlib.h>
  #include <string.h>
  #include <sys/mman.h>
  #include <unistd.h>

  constexpr unsigned char pattern_byte = 0xaa;

  #define PAGE_SIZE 4096

  _Alignas(PAGE_SIZE) static unsigned char pattern[PAGE_SIZE];

  int main(int argc, char **argv) {
    if (argc < 3)
      return 1;
    bool use_refpage = argc > 3;
    size_t mmap_size = atoi(argv[1]);
    size_t touch_size = atoi(argv[2]);

    int refpage_fd;
    if (use_refpage) {
      memset(pattern, pattern_byte, PAGE_SIZE);
      refpage_fd = syscall(447, pattern, 0);
    }
    for (unsigned i = 0; i != 1000; ++i) {
      char *p;
      if (use_refpage) {
        p = (char *)mmap(0, mmap_size, PROT_READ | PROT_WRITE, MAP_PRIVATE,
                         refpage_fd, 0);
      } else {
        p = (char *)mmap(0, mmap_size, PROT_READ | PROT_WRITE,
                         MAP_PRIVATE | MAP_ANONYMOUS, -1, 0);
        memset(p, pattern_byte, mmap_size);
      }
      for (unsigned j = 0; j < touch_size; j += PAGE_SIZE)
        p[j] = 0;
      munmap(p, mmap_size);
    }
  }

On a DragonBoard 845c with the powersave governor, and taking the
median of 10 runs for each measurement, I measured the following
results for real time (s):

touch_size/mmap_size   memset   refpages     improvement (95% CI)
      4096/4096000    3.962194   0.026726   98.8015% +/- 1.14684%
   2048000/4096000    3.925309   1.48081    61.8271% +/- 1.11911%
   4096000/4096000    3.986275   3.385003   15.1205% +/- 0.227235%

And the following for max RSS (KiB):

touch_size/mmap_size   memset   refpages     improvement (95% CI)
      4096/4096000      6656      3448      49.3815% +/- 1.30339%
   2048000/4096000      6696      4580      31.7053% +/- 1.16411%
   4096000/4096000      6716      6684              none

So we see a large improvement for sparsely used allocations, and even
a modest perf improvement for fully utilized allocations as a result
of touching the pages one fewer time (with memset: once in the kernel
and once in userspace; with refpages: just once in the kernel).

v5:
- rebased to 5.15rc2
- changed the API to take a size argument, including the prep hook
- made tag_clear_highpage a helper function
- renamed optzn -> content_type, optzn_info -> content_info
- outlined part of the is_refpage_vma check
- removed is_zero_or_refpage_pfn
- added a comment at the top of refpage.c
- restructured syscall handler to use goto
- inlined put_refpage_private_data into remaining caller

v4:
- rebased to linux-next
- added arch hooks to support MTE tagged reference pages
- added optimizations for pages with pattern byte as well as uniformly MTE-tagged pages
- added helper functions to avoid open-coding the reference page detection
- wrote a microbenchmark program and got new perf results for the commit message

As an alternative to introducing this syscall, I considered using
userfaultfd to implement reference pages. However, after having taken
a detailed look at the interface, it does not seem suitable to be
used in the context of a general purpose allocator. For example,
UFFD_FEATURE_FORK support would be required in order to correctly
support fork(2) in a process that uses the allocator (although POSIX
does not guarantee support for allocating after fork, many allocators
including Scudo support it, and nothing stops the forked process from
page faulting pre-existing allocations after forking anyway), but
UFFD_FEATURE_FORK has been restricted to root by commit 3c1c24d91ffd
("userfaultfd: require CAP_SYS_PTRACE for UFFD_FEATURE_EVENT_FORK"),
making it unsuitable for use in an allocator. Furthermore, even if
the interface issues are resolved, I suspect (but have not measured)
that the cost of the multiple context switches between kernel and
userspace would be too high to be used in an allocator anyway.

+ * This file implements the syscall refpage_create, which returns a file
+ * descriptor which may be mapped using mmap. Such a mapping is similar
+ * to an anonymous mapping, but instead of clean pages being backed by the
+ * zero page, they are instead backed by a so-called reference page, whose
+ * contents are specified using an argument to refpage_create. Loads from
+ * the mapping will load directly from the reference page, and initial
+ * stores to the mapping will copy-on-write from the reference page.
+ *
+ * Reference pages are useful in circumstances where anonymous mappings
+ * combined with manual stores to memory would impose undesirable costs,
+ * either in terms of performance or RSS. Use cases are focused on heap
+ * allocators and include:
+ *
+ * - Pattern initialization for the heap. This is where malloc(3) gives
+ *   you memory whose contents are filled with a non-zero pattern
+ *   byte, in order to help detect and mitigate bugs involving use
+ *   of uninitialized memory. Typically this is implemented by having
+ *   the allocator memset the allocation with the pattern byte before
+ *   returning it to the user, but for large allocations this can result
+ *   in a significant increase in RSS, especially for allocations that
+ *   are used sparsely. Even for dense allocations there is a needless
+ *   impact to startup performance when it may be better to amortize it
+ *   throughout the program. By creating allocations using a reference
+ *   page filled with the pattern byte, we can avoid these costs.
+ *
+ * - Pre-tagged heap memory. Memory tagging [1] is an upcoming ARMv8.5
+ *   feature which allows for memory to be tagged in order to detect
+ *   certain kinds of memory errors with low overhead. In order to set
+ *   up an allocation to allow memory errors to be detected, the entire
+ *   allocation needs to have the same tag. The issue here is similar to
+ *   pattern initialization in the sense that large tagged allocations
+ *   will be expensive if the tagging is done up front. The idea is that
+ *   the allocator would create reference pages with each of the possible
+ *   memory tags, and use those reference pages for the large allocations.
