Pull tracing updates from Steven Rostedt:
- Allow kernel trace instance creation to specify what events are
created
Inside the kernel, a subsystem may create a tracing instance that it
can use to send events to user space. This sub-system may not care
about the thousands of events that exist in eventfs. Allow the
sub-system to specify what sub-systems of events it cares about, and
only those events are exposed to this instance.
- Allow the ring buffer to be broken up into bigger sub-buffers than
just the architecture page size.
A new tracefs file called "buffer_subbuf_size_kb" is created. The
user can now specify a minimum size the sub-buffer may be in
kilobytes. Note, that the implementation currently make the
sub-buffer size a power of 2 pages (1, 2, 4, 8, 16, ...) but the user
only writes in kilobyte size, and the sub-buffer will be updated to
the next size that it will can accommodate it. If the user writes in
10, it will change the size to be 4 pages on x86 (16K), as that is
the next available size that can hold 10K pages.
- Update the debug output when a corrupt time is detected in the ring
buffer. If the ring buffer detects inconsistent timestamps, there's a
debug config options that will dump the contents of the meta data of
the sub-buffer that is used for debugging. Add some more information
to this dump that helps with debugging.
- Add more timestamp debugging checks (only triggers when the config is
enabled)
- Increase the trace_seq iterator to 2 page sizes.
- Allow strings written into tracefs_marker to be larger. Up to just
under 2 page sizes (based on what trace_seq can hold).
- Increase the trace_maker_raw write to be as big as a sub-buffer can
hold.
- Remove 32 bit time stamp logic, now that the rb_time_cmpxchg() has
been removed.
- More selftests were added.
- Some code clean ups as well.

Pull probes update from Masami Hiramatsu:
- Update the Kprobes trace event to show the actual function name in
notrace-symbol warning.
Instead of using the user specified symbol name, use "%ps" printk
format to show the actual symbol at the probe address. Since kprobe
event accepts the offset from symbol which is bigger than the symbol
size, the user specified symbol may not be the actual probed symbol.

Linus reported a ~50% performance regression on single-threaded
workloads on his AMD Ryzen system, and bisected it to:
9c0b4bb7f630 ("sched/cpufreq: Rework schedutil governor performance estimation")
When frequency invariance is not enabled, get_capacity_ref_freq(policy)
is supposed to return the current frequency and the performance margin
applied by map_util_perf(), enabling the utilization to go above the
maximum compute capacity and to select a higher frequency than the current one.
After the changes in 9c0b4bb7f630, the performance margin was applied
earlier in the path to take into account utilization clampings and
we couldn't get a utilization higher than the maximum compute capacity,
and the CPU remained 'stuck' at lower frequencies.
To fix this, we must use a frequency above the current frequency to
get a chance to select a higher OPP when the current one becomes fully used.
Apply the same margin and return a frequency 25% higher than the current
one in order to switch to the next OPP before we fully use the CPU
at the current one.
[ mingo: Clarified the changelog. ]

syscore_shutdown() runs driver and module callbacks to get the system into
a state where it can be correctly shut down. In commit 6f389a8f1dd2 ("PM
/ reboot: call syscore_shutdown() after disable_nonboot_cpus()")
syscore_shutdown() was removed from kernel_restart_prepare() and hence got
(incorrectly?) removed from the kexec flow. This was innocuous until
commit 6735150b6997 ("KVM: Use syscore_ops instead of reboot_notifier to
hook restart/shutdown") changed the way that KVM registered its shutdown
callbacks, switching from reboot notifiers to syscore_ops.shutdown. As
syscore_shutdown() is missing from kexec, KVM's shutdown hook is not run
and virtualisation is left enabled on the boot CPU which results in triple
faults when switching to the new kernel on Intel x86 VT-x with VMXE
enabled.
Fix this by adding syscore_shutdown() to the kexec sequence. In terms of
where to add it, it is being added after migrating the kexec task to the
boot CPU, but before APs are shut down. It is not totally clear if this
is the best place: in commit 6f389a8f1dd2 ("PM / reboot: call
syscore_shutdown() after disable_nonboot_cpus()") it is stated that
"syscore_ops operations should be carried with one CPU on-line and
interrupts disabled." APs are only offlined later in machine_shutdown(),
so this syscore_shutdown() is being run while APs are still online. This
seems to be the correct place as it matches where syscore_shutdown() is
run in the reboot and halt flows - they also run it before APs are shut
down. The assumption is that the commit message in commit 6f389a8f1dd2
("PM / reboot: call syscore_shutdown() after disable_nonboot_cpus()") is
no longer valid.
KVM has been discussed here as it is what broke loudly by not having
syscore_shutdown() in kexec, but this change impacts more than just KVM;
all drivers/modules which register a syscore_ops.shutdown callback will
now be invoked in the kexec flow. Looking at some of them like x86 MCE it
is probably more correct to also shut these down during kexec.
Maintainers of all drivers which use syscore_ops.shutdown are added on CC
for visibility. They are:
arch/powerpc/platforms/cell/spu_base.c .shutdown = spu_shutdown,
arch/x86/kernel/cpu/mce/core.c .shutdown = mce_syscore_shutdown,
arch/x86/kernel/i8259.c .shutdown = i8259A_shutdown,
drivers/irqchip/irq-i8259.c .shutdown = i8259A_shutdown,
drivers/irqchip/irq-sun6i-r.c .shutdown = sun6i_r_intc_shutdown,
drivers/leds/trigger/ledtrig-cpu.c .shutdown = ledtrig_cpu_syscore_shutdown,
drivers/power/reset/sc27xx-poweroff.c .shutdown = sc27xx_poweroff_shutdown,
kernel/irq/generic-chip.c .shutdown = irq_gc_shutdown,
virt/kvm/kvm_main.c .shutdown = kvm_shutdown,
This has been tested by doing a kexec on x86_64 and aarch64.

In /proc/iomem, sub-regions should be inserted after their parent,
otherwise the insertion of parent resource fails. But after generic
crashkernel reservation applied, in both RISC-V and ARM64 (LoongArch will
also use generic reservation later on), crashkernel resources are inserted
before their parent, which causes the parent disappear in /proc/iomem. So
we defer the insertion of crashkernel resources to an early_initcall().

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/netdev/net-next
Pull networking updates from Paolo Abeni:
"The most interesting thing is probably the networking structs
reorganization and a significant amount of changes is around
self-tests.
Core & protocols:
- Analyze and reorganize core networking structs (socks, netdev,
netns, mibs) to optimize cacheline consumption and set up build
time warnings to safeguard against future header changes
This improves TCP performances with many concurrent connections up
to 40%
- Add page-pool netlink-based introspection, exposing the memory
usage and recycling stats. This helps indentify bad PP users and
possible leaks
- Refine TCP/DCCP source port selection to no longer favor even
source port at connect() time when IP_LOCAL_PORT_RANGE is set. This
lowers the time taken by connect() for hosts having many active
connections to the same destination
- Refactor the TCP bind conflict code, shrinking related socket
structs
- Refactor TCP SYN-Cookie handling, as a preparation step to allow
arbitrary SYN-Cookie processing via eBPF
- Tune optmem_max for 0-copy usage, increasing the default value to
128KB and namespecifying it
- Allow coalescing for cloned skbs coming from page pools, improving
RX performances with some common configurations
- Reduce extension header parsing overhead at GRO time
- Add bridge MDB bulk deletion support, allowing user-space to
request the deletion of matching entries
- Reorder nftables struct members, to keep data accessed by the
datapath first
- Introduce TC block ports tracking and use. This allows supporting
multicast-like behavior at the TC layer
- Remove UAPI support for retired TC qdiscs (dsmark, CBQ and ATM) and
classifiers (RSVP and tcindex)
- More data-race annotations
- Extend the diag interface to dump TCP bound-only sockets
- Conditional notification of events for TC qdisc class and actions
- Support for WPAN dynamic associations with nearby devices, to form
a sub-network using a specific PAN ID
- Implement SMCv2.1 virtual ISM device support
- Add support for Batman-avd mulicast packet type
BPF:
- Tons of verifier improvements:
- BPF register bounds logic and range support along with a large
test suite
- log improvements
- complete precision tracking support for register spills
- track aligned STACK_ZERO cases as imprecise spilled registers.
This improves the verifier "instructions processed" metric from
single digit to 50-60% for some programs
- support for user's global BPF subprogram arguments with few
commonly requested annotations for a better developer
experience
- support tracking of BPF_JNE which helps cases when the compiler
transforms (unsigned) "a > 0" into "if a == 0 goto xxx" and the
like
- several fixes
- Add initial TX metadata implementation for AF_XDP with support in
mlx5 and stmmac drivers. Two types of offloads are supported right
now, that is, TX timestamp and TX checksum offload
- Fix kCFI bugs in BPF all forms of indirect calls from BPF into
kernel and from kernel into BPF work with CFI enabled. This allows
BPF to work with CONFIG_FINEIBT=y
- Change BPF verifier logic to validate global subprograms lazily
instead of unconditionally before the main program, so they can be
guarded using BPF CO-RE techniques
- Support uid/gid options when mounting bpffs
- Add a new kfunc which acquires the associated cgroup of a task
within a specific cgroup v1 hierarchy where the latter is
identified by its id
- Extend verifier to allow bpf_refcount_acquire() of a map value
field obtained via direct load which is a use-case needed in
sched_ext
- Add BPF link_info support for uprobe multi link along with bpftool
integration for the latter
- Support for VLAN tag in XDP hints
- Remove deprecated bpfilter kernel leftovers given the project is
developed in user-space (https://github.com/facebook/bpfilter)
Misc:
- Support for parellel TC self-tests execution
- Increase MPTCP self-tests coverage
- Updated the bridge documentation, including several so-far
undocumented features
- Convert all the net self-tests to run in unique netns, to avoid
random failures due to conflict and allow concurrent runs
- Add TCP-AO self-tests
- Add kunit tests for both cfg80211 and mac80211
- Autogenerate Netlink families documentation from YAML spec
- Add yml-gen support for fixed headers and recursive nests, the tool
can now generate user-space code for all genetlink families for
which we have specs
- A bunch of additional module descriptions fixes
- Catch incorrect freeing of pages belonging to a page pool
Driver API:
- Rust abstractions for network PHY drivers; do not cover yet the
full C API, but already allow implementing functional PHY drivers
in rust
- Introduce queue and NAPI support in the netdev Netlink interface,
allowing complete access to the device <> NAPIs <> queues
relationship
- Introduce notifications filtering for devlink to allow control
application scale to thousands of instances

It's been 11 years since the ring_buffer_size() function was updated to
use the nr_pages from the buffer->buffers[cpu] structure instead of using
the buffer->nr_pages that no longer exists.
The comment in the code is more of what a change log should have and is
pretty much useless for development. It's saying how things worked back in
2012 that bares no purpose on today's code. Remove it.

Pull power management updates from Rafael Wysocki:
"These add support for new processors (Sierra Forest, Grand Ridge and
Meteor Lake) to the intel_idle driver, make intel_pstate run on
Emerald Rapids without HWP support and adjust it to utilize EPP values
supplied by the platform firmware, fix issues, clean up code and
improve documentation.
The most significant fix addresses deadlocks in the core system-wide
resume code that occur if async_schedule_dev() attempts to run its
argument function synchronously (for example, due to a memory
allocation failure). It rearranges the code in question which may
increase the system resume time in some cases, but this basically is a
removal of a premature optimization. That optimization will be added
back later, but properly this time.
Specifics:
- Add support for the Sierra Forest, Grand Ridge and Meteorlake SoCs
to the intel_idle cpuidle driver (Artem Bityutskiy, Zhang Rui)

Pull thermal control updates from Rafael Wysocki:
"These add support for the D1/T113s THS controller to the sun8i driver
and a DT-based mechanism for platforms to indicate a preference to
reboot (instead of shutting down) on crossing a critical trip point,
fix issues, make other improvements (in the IPA governor, the Intel
HFI driver, the exynos driver and the thermal netlink interface among
other places) and clean up code.
One long-standing issue addressed here is that trip point crossing
notifications sent to user space might be unreliable due to the
incorrect handling of trip point hysteresis in the thermal core:
multiple notifications might be sent for the same event or there might
be events without any notification at all.
Specifics:
- Add dynamic thresholds for trip point crossing detection to prevent
trip point crossing notifications from being sent at incorrect
times or not at all in some cases (Rafael J. Wysocki)
- Fix synchronization issues related to the resume of thermal zones
during a system-wide resume and allow thermal zones to be resumed
concurrently (Rafael J. Wysocki)
- Modify the thermal zone unregistration to wait for the given zone
to go away completely before returning to the caller and rework the
sysfs interface for trip points on top of that (Rafael J. Wysocki)
- Fix a possible NULL pointer dereference in thermal zone
registration error path (Rafael J. Wysocki)
- Clean up the IPA thermal governor and modify it (with the help of a
new governor callback) to avoid allocating and freeing memory every
time its throttling callback is invoked (Lukasz Luba)
- Make the IPA thermal governor handle thermal instance weight
changes via sysfs correctly (Lukasz Luba)
- Update the thermal netlink code to avoid sending messages if there
are no recipients (Stanislaw Gruszka)
- Convert Mediatek Thermal to the json-schema (Rafał Miłecki)
- Fix thermal DT bindings issue on Loongson (Binbin Zhou)
- Fix returning NULL instead of -ENODEV during thermal probe on

- Add thermal DT binding for tsens on the SM8650 platform (Neil
Armstrong)
- Add reboot on the critical trip point crossing option feature
(Fabio Estevam)
- Use DEFINE_SIMPLE_DEV_PM_OPS do define PM functions for thermal
suspend/resume on AmLogic (Uwe Kleine-König)
- Add D1/T113s THS controller support to the Sun8i thermal control
driver (Maxim Kiselev)

- Fix compilation warning in the tmon utility (Florian Eckert)
- Add support for interrupt-based thermal configuration on Exynos
along with a set of related cleanups (Mateusz Majewski)
- Make the Intel HFI thermal driver enable an HFI instance (eg.
processor package) from its first online CPU and disable it when
the last CPU in it goes offline (Ricardo Neri)
- Fix a kernel-doc warning and a spello in the cpuidle_cooling
thermal driver (Randy Dunlap)
- Move the .get_temp() thermal zone callback presence check to the
thermal zone registration code (Daniel Lezcano)
- Use the for_each_trip() macro for trip points table walks in a few
places in the thermal core (Rafael J. Wysocki)
- Make all trip point updates (via sysfs as well as from the platform
firmware) trigger trip change notifications (Rafael J. Wysocki)
- Drop redundant code from the thermal core and make one function in
it take a const pointer argument (Rafael J. Wysocki)"

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/pcmoore/lsm
Pull security module updates from Paul Moore:
- Add three new syscalls: lsm_list_modules(), lsm_get_self_attr(), and
lsm_set_self_attr().
The first syscall simply lists the LSMs enabled, while the second and
third get and set the current process' LSM attributes. Yes, these
syscalls may provide similar functionality to what can be found under
/proc or /sys, but they were designed to support multiple,
simultaneaous (stacked) LSMs from the start as opposed to the current
/proc based solutions which were created at a time when only one LSM
was allowed to be active at a given time.
We have spent considerable time discussing ways to extend the
existing /proc interfaces to support multiple, simultaneaous LSMs and
even our best ideas have been far too ugly to support as a kernel
API; after +20 years in the kernel, I felt the LSM layer had
established itself enough to justify a handful of syscalls.
Support amongst the individual LSM developers has been nearly
unanimous, with a single objection coming from Tetsuo (TOMOYO) as he
is worried that the LSM_ID_XXX token concept will make it more
difficult for out-of-tree LSMs to survive. Several members of the LSM
community have demonstrated the ability for out-of-tree LSMs to
continue to exist by picking high/unused LSM_ID values as well as
pointing out that many kernel APIs rely on integer identifiers, e.g.
syscalls (!), but unfortunately Tetsuo's objections remain.
My personal opinion is that while I have no interest in penalizing
out-of-tree LSMs, I'm not going to penalize in-tree development to
support out-of-tree development, and I view this as a necessary step
forward to support the push for expanded LSM stacking and reduce our
reliance on /proc and /sys which has occassionally been problematic
for some container users. Finally, we have included the linux-api
folks on (all?) recent revisions of the patchset and addressed all of
their concerns.
- Add a new security_file_ioctl_compat() LSM hook to handle the 32-bit
ioctls on 64-bit systems problem.
This patch includes support for all of the existing LSMs which
provide ioctl hooks, although it turns out only SELinux actually
cares about the individual ioctls. It is worth noting that while
Casey (Smack) and Tetsuo (TOMOYO) did not give explicit ACKs to this
patch, they did both indicate they are okay with the changes.
- Fix a potential memory leak in the CALIPSO code when IPv6 is disabled
at boot.
While it's good that we are fixing this, I doubt this is something
users are seeing in the wild as you need to both disable IPv6 and
then attempt to configure IPv6 labeled networking via
NetLabel/CALIPSO; that just doesn't make much sense.
Normally this would go through netdev, but Jakub asked me to take
this patch and of all the trees I maintain, the LSM tree seemed like
the best fit.
- Update the LSM MAINTAINERS entry with additional information about
our process docs, patchwork, bug reporting, etc.
I also noticed that the Lockdown LSM is missing a dedicated
MAINTAINERS entry so I've added that to the pull request. I've been
working with one of the major Lockdown authors/contributors to see if
they are willing to step up and assume a Lockdown maintainer role;
hopefully that will happen soon, but in the meantime I'll continue to
look after it.

Pull audit updates from Paul Moore:
"The audit updates are fairly minor with only two patches:
- Send an audit ACK to userspace immediately upon receiving an auditd
registration event as opposed to waiting until the registration has
been fully processed and the audit backlog starts filling the
netlink buffers.
Sending the ACK earlier, as done here, is still safe as the
operation should not fail at the point when the ACK is done, and
doing so helps avoid the ACK being dropped in extreme situations.
- Update the audit MAINTAINERS entry with additional information.
There isn't anything in this update that should be new to regular

Pull MM updates from Andrew Morton:
"Many singleton patches against the MM code. The patch series which are
included in this merge do the following:
- Peng Zhang has done some mapletree maintainance work in the series
'maple_tree: add mt_free_one() and mt_attr() helpers'
'Some cleanups of maple tree'
- In the series 'mm: use memmap_on_memory semantics for dax/kmem'
Vishal Verma has altered the interworking between memory-hotplug
and dax/kmem so that newly added 'device memory' can more easily
have its memmap placed within that newly added memory.
- Matthew Wilcox continues folio-related work (including a few fixes)
in the patch series
'Add folio_zero_tail() and folio_fill_tail()'
'Make folio_start_writeback return void'
'Fix fault handler's handling of poisoned tail pages'
'Convert aops->error_remove_page to ->error_remove_folio'
'Finish two folio conversions'
'More swap folio conversions'
- Kefeng Wang has also contributed folio-related work in the series
'mm: cleanup and use more folio in page fault'
- Jim Cromie has improved the kmemleak reporting output in the series
'tweak kmemleak report format'.

Pull slab updates from Vlastimil Babka:
- SLUB: delayed freezing of CPU partial slabs (Chengming Zhou)
Freezing is an operation involving double_cmpxchg() that makes a slab
exclusive for a particular CPU. Chengming noticed that we use it also
in situations where we are not yet installing the slab as the CPU
slab, because freezing also indicates that the slab is not on the
shared list. This results in redundant freeze/unfreeze operation and
can be avoided by marking separately the shared list presence by
reusing the PG_workingset flag.
This approach neatly avoids the issues described in 9b1ea29bc0d7
("Revert "mm, slub: consider rest of partial list if acquire_slab()
fails"") as we can now grab a slab from the shared list in a quick
and guaranteed way without the cmpxchg_double() operation that
amplifies the lock contention and can fail.
As a result, lkp has reported 34.2% improvement of
stress-ng.rawudp.ops_per_sec
- SLAB removal and SLUB cleanups (Vlastimil Babka)
The SLAB allocator has been deprecated since 6.5 and nobody has
objected so far. We agreed at LSF/MM to wait until the next LTS,
which is 6.6, so we should be good to go now.
This doesn't yet erase all traces of SLAB outside of mm/ so some dead
code, comments or documentation remain, and will be cleaned up
gradually (some series are already in the works).
Removing the choice of allocators has already allowed to simplify and
optimize the code wiring up the kmalloc APIs to the SLUB
implementation.

Pull cgroup updates from Tejun Heo:
- Yafang Shao added task_get_cgroup1() helper to enable a similar BPF
helper so that BPF progs can be more useful on cgroup1 hierarchies.
While cgroup1 is mostly in maintenance mode, this addition is very
small while having an outsized usefulness for users who are still on
cgroup1. Yafang also optimized root cgroup list access by making it
RCU protected in the process.
- Waiman Long optimized rstat operation leading to substantially lower
and more consistent lock hold time while flushing the hierarchical
statistics. As the lock can be acquired briefly in various hot paths,
this reduction has cascading benefits.
- Waiman also improved the quality of isolation for cpuset's isolated
partitions. CPUs which are allocated to isolated partitions are now
excluded from running unbound work items and cpu_is_isolated() test
which is used by vmstat and memcg to reduce interference now includes
cpuset isolated CPUs. While it isn't there yet, the hope is
eventually reaching parity with the isolation level provided by the
`isolcpus` boot param but in a dynamic manner.

commit 23baf831a32c ("mm, treewide: redefine MAX_ORDER sanely") has
changed the definition of MAX_ORDER to be inclusive. This has caused
issues with code that was not yet upstream and depended on the previous

To draw attention to the altered meaning of the define, rename MAX_ORDER
to MAX_PAGE_ORDER.

The parse_actions() function uses 'len = str_has_prefix()' to test which
action is in the string being parsed. But then it goes and repeats the
logic for each different action. This logic can be simplified and
duplicate code can be removed as 'len' contains the length of the found
prefix which should be used for all actions.

The purpose of crash_exclude_mem_range() is to remove all memory ranges
that overlap with [mstart-mend]. However, the current logic only removes
the first overlapping memory range.
Commit a2e9a95d2190 ("kexec: Improve & fix crash_exclude_mem_range() to
handle overlapping ranges") attempted to address this issue, but it did
not fix all error cases.
Let's fix and simplify the logic of crash_exclude_mem_range().

The following case can cause a crash due to missing attach_btf:
1) load rawtp program
2) load fentry program with rawtp as target_fd
3) create tracing link for fentry program with target_fd = 0
4) repeat 3
In the end we have:
- prog->aux->dst_trampoline == NULL
- tgt_prog == NULL (because we did not provide target_fd to link_create)
- prog->aux->attach_btf == NULL (the program was loaded with attach_prog_fd=X)
- the program was loaded for tgt_prog but we have no way to find out which one

Currently, it's not allowed to attach an fentry/fexit prog to another
one fentry/fexit. At the same time it's not uncommon to see a tracing
program with lots of logic in use, and the attachment limitation
prevents usage of fentry/fexit for performance analysis (e.g. with
"bpftool prog profile" command) in this case. An example could be
falcosecurity libs project that uses tp_btf tracing programs.
Following the corresponding discussion [1], the reason for that is to
avoid tracing progs call cycles without introducing more complex
solutions. But currently it seems impossible to load and attach tracing
programs in a way that will form such a cycle. The limitation is coming
from the fact that attach_prog_fd is specified at the prog load (thus
making it impossible to attach to a program loaded after it in this
way), as well as tracing progs not implementing link_detach.
Replace "no same type" requirement with verification that no more than
one level of attachment nesting is allowed. In this way only one
fentry/fexit program could be attached to another fentry/fexit to cover
profiling use case, and still no cycle could be formed. To implement,
add a new field into bpf_prog_aux to track nested attachment for tracing
programs.

After merging the patch set [1] to reduce memory usage
for bpf_global_percpu_ma, Alexei found a redundant check (cpu == 0)
in function bpf_mem_alloc_percpu_unit_init() ([2]).
Indeed, the check is unnecessary since c->unit_size will
be all NULL or all non-NULL for all cpus before
for_each_possible_cpu() loop.
Removing the check makes code less confusing.

The driver core now can handle a const struct bus_type pointer, and the
dma_debug_add_bus() call just passes on the pointer give to it to the
driver core, so make this pointer const as well to allow everyone to use
read-only struct bus_type pointers going forward.

For percpu data structure allocation with bpf_global_percpu_ma,
the maximum data size is 4K. But for a system with large
number of cpus, bigger data size (e.g., 2K, 4K) might consume
a lot of memory. For example, the percpu memory consumption
with unit size 2K and 1024 cpus will be 2K * 1K * 1k = 2GB
memory.
We should discourage such usage. Let us limit the maximum data
size to be 512 for bpf_global_percpu_ma allocation.

Currently, refill low/high marks are set with the assumption
of normal non-percpu memory allocation. For example, for
an allocation size 256, for non-percpu memory allocation,
low mark is 32 and high mark is 96, resulting in the
batch allocation of 48 elements and the allocated memory
will be 48 * 256 = 12KB for this particular cpu.
Assuming an 128-cpu system, the total memory consumption
across all cpus will be 12K * 128 = 1.5MB memory.
This might be okay for non-percpu allocation, but may not be
good for percpu allocation, which will consume 1.5MB * 128 = 192MB
memory in the worst case if every cpu has a chance of memory
allocation.
In practice, percpu allocation is very rare compared to
non-percpu allocation. So let us have smaller low/high marks
which can avoid unnecessary memory consumption.

Typically for percpu map element or data structure, once allocated,
most operations are lookup or in-place update. Deletion are really
rare. Currently, for percpu data strcture, 4 elements will be
refilled if the size is <= 256. Let us just do with one element
for percpu data. For example, for size 256 and 128 cpus, the
potential saving will be 3 * 256 * 128 * 128 = 12MB.

Commit 41a5db8d8161 ("Add support for non-fix-size percpu mem allocation")
added support for non-fix-size percpu memory allocation.
Such allocation will allocate percpu memory for all buckets on all
cpus and the memory consumption is in the order to quadratic.
For example, let us say, 4 cpus, unit size 16 bytes, so each
cpu has 16 * 4 = 64 bytes, with 4 cpus, total will be 64 * 4 = 256 bytes.
Then let us say, 8 cpus with the same unit size, each cpu
has 16 * 8 = 128 bytes, with 8 cpus, total will be 128 * 8 = 1024 bytes.
So if the number of cpus doubles, the number of memory consumption
will be 4 times. So for a system with large number of cpus, the
memory consumption goes up quickly with quadratic order.
For example, for 4KB percpu allocation, 128 cpus. The total memory
consumption will 4KB * 128 * 128 = 64MB. Things will become
worse if the number of cpus is bigger (e.g., 512, 1024, etc.)
In Commit 41a5db8d8161, the non-fix-size percpu memory allocation is
done in boot time, so for system with large number of cpus, the initial
percpu memory consumption is very visible. For example, for 128 cpu
system, the total percpu memory allocation will be at least
(16 + 32 + 64 + 96 + 128 + 196 + 256 + 512 + 1024 + 2048 + 4096)
* 128 * 128 = ~138MB.
which is pretty big. It will be even bigger for larger number of cpus.
Note that the current prefill also allocates 4 entries if the unit size
is less than 256. So on top of 138MB memory consumption, this will
add more consumption with
3 * (16 + 32 + 64 + 96 + 128 + 196 + 256) * 128 * 128 = ~38MB.
Next patch will try to reduce this memory consumption.
Later on, Commit 1fda5bb66ad8 ("bpf: Do not allocate percpu memory
at init stage") moved the non-fix-size percpu memory allocation
to bpf verificaiton stage. Once a particular bpf_percpu_obj_new()
is called by bpf program, the memory allocator will try to fill in
the cache with all sizes, causing the same amount of percpu memory
consumption as in the boot stage.
To reduce the initial percpu memory consumption for non-fix-size
percpu memory allocation, instead of filling the cache with all
supported allocation sizes, this patch intends to fill the cache
only for the requested size. As typically users will not use large
percpu data structure, this can save memory significantly.
For example, the allocation size is 64 bytes with 128 cpus.
Then total percpu memory amount will be 64 * 128 * 128 = 1MB,
much less than previous 138MB.
