The kernel cmdline length is allowed to be longer than what printk can
handle. When this happens the cmdline that's printed to the kernel ring
buffer at bootup is cutoff and some kernel cmdline options are "hidden"
from the logs. This undercuts the usefulness of the log message.
Specifically, grepping for COMMAND_LINE_SIZE shows that 2048 is common and
some architectures even define it as 4096. s390 allows a CONFIG-based
maximum up to 1MB (though it's not expected that anyone will go over the
default max of 4096 [1]).
The maximum message pr_notice() seems to be able to handle (based on
experiment) is 1021 characters. This appears to be based on the current
value of PRINTKRB_RECORD_MAX as 1024 and the fact that pr_notice() spends
2 characters on the loglevel prefix and we have a '\n' at the end.
While it would be possible to increase the limits of printk() (and
therefore pr_notice()) somewhat, it doesn't appear possible to increase it
enough to fully include a 2048-character cmdline without breaking
userspace. Specifically on at least two tested userspaces (ChromeOS plus
the Debian-based distro I'm typing this message on) the `dmesg` tool reads
lines from `/dev/kmsg` in 2047-byte chunks. As per
`Documentation/ABI/testing/dev-kmsg`:
Every read() from the opened device node receives one record
of the kernel's printk buffer.
...
Messages in the record ring buffer get overwritten as whole,
there are never partial messages received by read().
We simply can't fit a 2048-byte cmdline plus the "Kernel command line:"
prefix plus info about time/log_level/etc in a 2047-byte read.
The above means that if we want to avoid the truncation we need to do some
type of wrapping of the cmdline when printing.
Add wrapping to the printout of the kernel command line. By default, the
wrapping is set to 1021 characters to avoid breaking anyone, but allow
wrapping to be set lower by a Kconfig knob
"CONFIG_CMDLINE_LOG_WRAP_IDEAL_LEN". Any tools that are correctly parsing
the cmdline today (because it is less than 1021 characters) will see no
difference in their behavior. The format of wrapped output is designed to
be matched by anyone using "grep" to search for the cmdline and also to be
easy for tools to handle. Anyone who is sure their tools (if any) handle
the wrapped format can choose a lower wrapping value and have prettier
output.
Setting CONFIG_CMDLINE_LOG_WRAP_IDEAL_LEN to 0 fully disables the wrapping
logic. This means that long command lines will be truncated again, but
this config could be set if command lines are expected to be long and
userspace is known not to handle parsing logs with the wrapping.
Wrapping is based on spaces, ignoring quotes. All lines are prefixed with
"Kernel command line: " and lines that are not the last line have a " \"
suffix added to them. The prefix and suffix count towards the line length
for wrapping purposes. The ideal length will be exceeded if no
appropriate place to wrap is found.
The wrapping function added here is fairly generic and could be made a
library function (somewhat like print_hex_dump()) if it's needed elsewhere
in the kernel. However, having printk() directly incorporate this
wrapping would be unlikely to be a good idea since it would break
printouts into more than one record without any obvious common line prefix
to tie lines together. It would also be extra overhead when, in general,
kernel log message should simply be kept smaller than 1021 bytes. For
some discussion on this topic, see responses to the v1 posting of this
patch [2].

Pull namespace updates from Christian Brauner:
"This contains a larger set of changes around the generic namespace
infrastructure of the kernel.
Each specific namespace type (net, cgroup, mnt, ...) embedds a struct
ns_common which carries the reference count of the namespace and so
on.
We open-coded and cargo-culted so many quirks for each namespace type
that it just wasn't scalable anymore. So given there's a bunch of new
changes coming in that area I've started cleaning all of this up.
The core change is to make it possible to correctly initialize every
namespace uniformly and derive the correct initialization settings
from the type of the namespace such as namespace operations, namespace
type and so on. This leaves the new ns_common_init() function with a
single parameter which is the specific namespace type which derives
the correct parameters statically. This also means the compiler will
yell as soon as someone does something remotely fishy.
The ns_common_init() addition also allows us to remove ns_alloc_inum()
and drops any special-casing of the initial network namespace in the
network namespace initialization code that Linus complained about.
Another part is reworking the reference counting. The reference
counting was open-coded and copy-pasted for each namespace type even
though they all followed the same rules. This also removes all open
accesses to the reference count and makes it private and only uses a
very small set of dedicated helpers to manipulate them just like we do
for e.g., files.
In addition this generalizes the mount namespace iteration
infrastructure introduced a few cycles ago. As reminder, the vfs makes
it possible to iterate sequentially and bidirectionally through all
mount namespaces on the system or all mount namespaces that the caller
holds privilege over. This allow userspace to iterate over all mounts
in all mount namespaces using the listmount() and statmount() system
call.
Each mount namespace has a unique identifier for the lifetime of the
systems that is exposed to userspace. The network namespace also has a
unique identifier working exactly the same way. This extends the
concept to all other namespace types.
The new nstree type makes it possible to lookup namespaces purely by
their identifier and to walk the namespace list sequentially and
bidirectionally for all namespace types, allowing userspace to iterate
through all namespaces. Looking up namespaces in the namespace tree
works completely locklessly.
This also means we can move the mount namespace onto the generic
infrastructure and remove a bunch of code and members from struct
mnt_namespace itself.
There's a bunch of stuff coming on top of this in the future but for
now this uses the generic namespace tree to extend a concept
introduced first for pidfs a few cycles ago. For a while now we have
supported pidfs file handles for pidfds. This has proven to be very
useful.
This extends the concept to cover namespaces as well. It is possible
to encode and decode namespace file handles using the common
name_to_handle_at() and open_by_handle_at() apis.
As with pidfs file handles, namespace file handles are exhaustive,
meaning it is not required to actually hold a reference to nsfs in
able to decode aka open_by_handle_at() a namespace file handle.
Instead the FD_NSFS_ROOT constant can be passed which will let the
kernel grab a reference to the root of nsfs internally and thus decode
the file handle.
Namespaces file descriptors can already be derived from pidfds which
means they aren't subject to overmount protection bugs. IOW, it's
irrelevant if the caller would not have access to an appropriate
/proc/<pid>/ns/ directory as they could always just derive the
namespace based on a pidfd already.
It has the same advantage as pidfds. It's possible to reliably and for
the lifetime of the system refer to a namespace without pinning any
resources and to compare them trivially.
Permission checking is kept simple. If the caller is located in the
namespace the file handle refers to they are able to open it otherwise
they must hold privilege over the owning namespace of the relevant
namespace.
The namespace file handle layout is exposed as uapi and has a stable
and extensible format. For now it simply contains the namespace
identifier, the namespace type, and the inode number. The stable
format means that userspace may construct its own namespace file
handles without going through name_to_handle_at() as they are already
allowed for pidfs and cgroup file handles"

BootLoaders (Grub, LILO, etc) may pass an identifier such as "BOOT_IMAGE=
/boot/vmlinuz-x.y.z" to kernel parameters. But these identifiers are not
recognized by the kernel itself so will be passed to userspace. However
user space init program also don't recognize it.
KEXEC/KDUMP (kexec-tools) may also pass an identifier such as "kexec" on
some architectures.
We cannot change BootLoader's behavior, because this behavior exists for
many years, and there are already user space programs search BOOT_IMAGE=
in /proc/cmdline to obtain the kernel image locations:
https://github.com/linuxdeepin/deepin-ab-recovery/blob/master/util.go
(search getBootOptions)
https://github.com/linuxdeepin/deepin-ab-recovery/blob/master/main.go
(search getKernelReleaseWithBootOption) So the the best way is handle
(ignore) it by the kernel itself, which can avoid such boot warnings (if
we use something like init=/bin/bash, bootloader identifier can even cause
a crash):
Kernel command line: BOOT_IMAGE=(hd0,1)/vmlinuz-6.x root=/dev/sda3 ro console=tty
Unknown kernel command line parameters "BOOT_IMAGE=(hd0,1)/vmlinuz-6.x", will be passed to user space.

Patch series "Use kmem_cache for memcg alloc", v3.
(willy tldr: "you've gone from allocating 8 objects per 32KiB to
allocating 13 objects per 32KiB, a 62% improvement in memory consumption"
[1])
The mem_cgroup_alloc function creates mem_cgroup struct and it's
associated structures including mem_cgroup_per_node. Through detailed
analysis on our test machine (Arm64, 16GB RAM, 6.6 kernel, 1 NUMA node,
memcgv2 with nokmem,nosocket,cgroup_disable=pressure), we can observe the
memory allocation for these structures using the following shell commands:
# Enable tracing
echo 1 > /sys/kernel/tracing/events/kmem/kmalloc/enable
echo 1 > /sys/kernel/tracing/tracing_on
cat /sys/kernel/tracing/trace_pipe | grep kmalloc | grep mem_cgroup
# Trigger allocation if cgroup subtree do not enable memcg
echo +memory > /sys/fs/cgroup/cgroup.subtree_control
Ftrace Output:
# mem_cgroup struct allocation
sh-6312 [000] ..... 58015.698365: kmalloc:
call_site=mem_cgroup_css_alloc+0xd8/0x5b4
ptr=000000003e4c3799 bytes_req=2312 bytes_alloc=4096
gfp_flags=GFP_KERNEL|__GFP_ZERO node=-1 accounted=false
# mem_cgroup_per_node allocation
sh-6312 [000] ..... 58015.698389: kmalloc:
call_site=mem_cgroup_css_alloc+0x1d8/0x5b4
ptr=00000000d798700c bytes_req=2896 bytes_alloc=4096
gfp_flags=GFP_KERNEL|__GFP_ZERO node=0 accounted=false
Key Observations:
1. Both structures use kmalloc with requested sizes between 2KB-4KB
2. Allocation alignment forces 4KB slab usage due to pre-defined sizes
(64B, 128B,..., 2KB, 4KB, 8KB)
3. Memory waste per memcg instance:
Base struct: 4096 - 2312 = 1784 bytes
Per-node struct: 4096 - 2896 = 1200 bytes
Total waste: 2984 bytes (1-node system)
NUMA scaling: (1200 + 8) * nr_node_ids bytes
So, it's a little waste.
This patchset introduces dedicated kmem_cache:
Patch2 - mem_cgroup kmem_cache - memcg_cachep
Patch3 - mem_cgroup_per_node kmem_cache - memcg_pn_cachep
The benefits of this change can be observed with the following tracing
commands:
# Enable tracing
echo 1 > /sys/kernel/tracing/events/kmem/kmem_cache_alloc/enable
echo 1 > /sys/kernel/tracing/tracing_on
cat /sys/kernel/tracing/trace_pipe | grep kmem_cache_alloc | grep mem_cgroup
# In another terminal:
echo +memory > /sys/fs/cgroup/cgroup.subtree_control
The output might now look like this:
# mem_cgroup struct allocation
sh-9827 [000] ..... 289.513598: kmem_cache_alloc:
call_site=mem_cgroup_css_alloc+0xbc/0x5d4 ptr=00000000695c1806
bytes_req=2312 bytes_alloc=2368 gfp_flags=GFP_KERNEL|__GFP_ZERO node=-1
accounted=false
# mem_cgroup_per_node allocation
sh-9827 [000] ..... 289.513602: kmem_cache_alloc:
call_site=mem_cgroup_css_alloc+0x1b8/0x5d4 ptr=000000002989e63a
bytes_req=2896 bytes_alloc=2944 gfp_flags=GFP_KERNEL|__GFP_ZERO node=0
accounted=false
This indicates that the `mem_cgroup` struct now requests 2312 bytes and is
allocated 2368 bytes, while `mem_cgroup_per_node` requests 2896 bytes and
is allocated 2944 bytes. The slight increase in allocated size is due to
`SLAB_HWCACHE_ALIGN` in the `kmem_cache`.
Without `SLAB_HWCACHE_ALIGN`, the allocation might appear as:
# mem_cgroup struct allocation
sh-9269 [003] ..... 80.396366: kmem_cache_alloc:
call_site=mem_cgroup_css_alloc+0xbc/0x5d4 ptr=000000005b12b475
bytes_req=2312 bytes_alloc=2312 gfp_flags=GFP_KERNEL|__GFP_ZERO node=-1
accounted=false
# mem_cgroup_per_node allocation
sh-9269 [003] ..... 80.396411: kmem_cache_alloc:
call_site=mem_cgroup_css_alloc+0x1b8/0x5d4 ptr=00000000f347adc6
bytes_req=2896 bytes_alloc=2896 gfp_flags=GFP_KERNEL|__GFP_ZERO node=0
accounted=false
While the `bytes_alloc` now matches the `bytes_req`, this patchset
defaults to using `SLAB_HWCACHE_ALIGN` as it is generally considered more
beneficial for performance. Please let me know if there are any issues or
if I've misunderstood anything.
This patchset also move mem_cgroup_init ahead of cgroup_init() due to
cgroup_init() will allocate root_mem_cgroup, but each initcall invoke
after cgroup_init, so if each kmem_cache do not prepare, we need testing
NULL before use it.
This patch (of 3):
When cgroup_init() creates root_mem_cgroup through css_alloc callback,
some critical resources might not be fully initialized, forcing later
operations to perform conditional checks for resource availability.
This patch move mem_cgroup_init() to address the init order, it invoke
before cgroup_init, so, compare to subsys_initcall, it can use to prepare
some key resources before root_mem_cgroup alloc.

When initcall_debug is specified on the command line, the start and return
point for each initcall is printed. However, no information on the
initcall level is reported.
Add to the initcall_debug infrastructure an additional print that informs
when a new initcall level is entered. This is particularly useful when
debugging dependency chains and/or working on boot time reduction.

The timer and hrtimer softirq processing has moved to dedicated threads
for kernels built with CONFIG_IRQ_FORCED_THREADING=y. This results in
timers not expiring until later in early boot, which in turn causes the
RCU Tasks self-tests to hang in kernels built with CONFIG_PROVE_RCU=y,
which further causes the entire kernel to hang. One fix would be to
make timers work during this time, but there are no known users of RCU
Tasks grace periods during that time, so no justification for the added
complexity. Not yet, anyway.
This commit therefore moves the call to rcu_init_tasks_generic() from
kernel_init_freeable() to a core_initcall(). This works because the
timer and hrtimer kthreads are created at early_initcall() time.
Fixes: 49a17639508c3 ("softirq: Use a dedicated thread for timer wakeups on PREEMPT_RT.")

Before SLUB initialization, various subsystems used memblock_alloc to
allocate memory. In most cases, when memory allocation fails, an
immediate panic is required. To simplify this behavior and reduce
repetitive checks, introduce `memblock_alloc_or_panic`. This function
ensures that memory allocation failures result in a panic automatically,
improving code readability and consistency across subsystems that require
this behavior.
