[PATCH v4 1/5] mm/page_idle: Add per-pid idle page tracking using virtual indexing

Joel Fernandes (Google)
2019-08-05T17:05:08Z

The page_idle tracking feature currently requires looking up the pagemap
for a process followed by interacting with /sys/kernel/mm/page_idle.
Looking up PFN from pagemap in Android devices is not supported by
unprivileged process and requires SYS_ADMIN and gives 0 for the PFN.

This patch adds support to directly interact with page_idle tracking at
the PID level by introducing a /proc/<pid>/page_idle file. It follows
the exact same semantics as the global /sys/kernel/mm/page_idle, but now
looking up PFN through pagemap is not needed since the interface uses
virtual frame numbers, and at the same time also does not require
SYS_ADMIN.

In Android, we are using this for the heap profiler (heapprofd) which
profiles and pin points code paths which allocates and leaves memory
idle for long periods of time. This method solves the security issue
with userspace learning the PFN, and while at it is also shown to yield
better results than the pagemap lookup, the theory being that the window
where the address space can change is reduced by eliminating the
intermediate pagemap look up stage. In virtual address indexing, the
process's mmap_sem is held for the duration of the access.

v3->v4: Minor fixups (Minchan)
Add swap pte handling (Konstantin, Minchan)
v2->v3:
Fixed a bug where I was doing a kfree that is not needed due to not
needing to do GFP_ATOMIC allocations.

v1->v2:
Mark swap ptes as idle (Minchan)
Avoid need for GFP_ATOMIC (Andrew)
Get rid of idle_page_list lock by moving list to stack

Internal review -> v1:
Fixes from Suren.
Corrections to change log, docs (Florian, Sandeep)
