1. Prominent features

1.1. Bigger memory limits

Original x86-64 was limited by 4-level paging to 256 TiB of virtual address space and 64 TiB of physical address space. People are already bumping into this limit: some vendors offers servers with 64 TiB of memory today. To overcome the limitation upcoming hardware will introduce support for 5-level paging. It is a straight-forward extension of the current page table structures adding one more layer of translation. It bumps the limits to 128 PiB of virtual address space and 4 PiB of physical address space. This "ought to be enough for anybody" ©.

On x86, 5-level paging enables 56-bit userspace virtual address space. Not all user space is ready to handle wide addresses. It's known that at least some JIT compilers use higher bits in pointers. It collides with valid pointers with 5-level paging and leads to crashes. To mitigate this, the Linux kernel will not allocate virtual address space above 47-bit by default. Userspace can ask for allocation from full address space by specifying hint address above 47-bits.

1.2. Add support for AMD Secure Memory Encryption

Secure Memory Encryption can be used to mark individual pages of memory as encrypted through the page tables. A page of memory that is marked encrypted will be automatically decrypted when read from DRAM and will be automatically encrypted when written to DRAM. Secure Memory Encryption can therefore be used to protect the contents of DRAM from physical attacks on the system.

1.3. Better kernel traces with the ORC unwinder

This release includes a new "unwinder". An "unwinder" is what prints the list of functions (aka. stack trace, callgraph, call stack...) that have been executed before reaching a determinate point of the code, and it's used, for example, the list of functions that lead to a crash when a kernel oopses. The new unwinder is called ORC, an alias for "Oops Rewind Capability", and has been developed as an simpler alternative to the DWARF debuginfo format.

Linux already has an unwinder, and while it usually works well, it isn't reliable in all situations, which causes troubles for modern functionality like live patching that requires completely reliable stack traces. It also requires a functionality called "frame pointers" (CONFIG_FRAME_POINTERS) to print complete call stacks. Frame pointers make GCC add instrumentation code to every function in the kernel, which increases the size of the kernel executable code by about 3.2%, resulting in a broad kernel-wide slowdown, and more for some workloads. This option is enabled by default in some Linux distros.

In contrast, the ORC unwinder does not need to insert code anywhere so it has no effect on text size or runtime performance, because the debuginfo (about 2-4MiB) is placed out of band. So the ORC unwinder provides a nice performance improvement across the board compared with frame pointers, while at the same time having reliable stack traces.

1.4. zstd compression in Btrfs and Squashfs

zstd offers a wide variety of compression speed and quality trade-offs. It can compress at speeds approaching lz4, and quality approaching lzma. zstd decompressions at speeds more than twice as fast as zlib, and decompression speed remains roughly the same across all compression levels. Because it is a big win in speed over zlib and in compression ratio over lzo, FB has been using it in production with great results. Support has also been added for squashfs. For benchmark numbers see the links.

1.5. Zero-copy from user memory to sockets

Copying large buffers between user process and kernel can be expensive. Linux supports various interfaces that eschew copying, such as sendpage(2) and splice(2). The MSG_ZEROCOPY socket flag extends the underlying copy avoidance mechanism to common socket send calls. Copy avoidance is not a free lunch. As implemented, with page pinning, it replaces per byte copy cost with page accounting and completion notification overhead. As a result, MSG_ZEROCOPY is generally only effective at writes over around 10 KB.

1.6. Heterogeneous Memory Management for future GPUs

Today device driver expose dedicated memory allocation API through their device file, often relying on a combination of IOCTL and mmap calls. The device can only access and use memory allocated through this API. This effectively split the program address space into object allocated for the device and useable by the device and other regular memory (malloc, mmap of a file, share memory, ...) only accessible by CPU (or in a very limited way by a device by pinning memory). Allowing different isolated component of a program to use a device thus require duplication of the input data structure using device memory allocator. This is reasonable for simple data structure (array, grid, image, ...) but this get extremely complex with advance data structures. This is becoming a serious limitation on the kind of work load that can be offloaded to device like GPU.

New industry standard like C++, OpenCL or CUDA are pushing to remove this barrier. This require a shared address space between GPU device and CPU so that GPU can access any memory of a process (while still obeying memory protection like read only). This kind of feature is also appearing in various other operating systems. Heterogeneous Memory Management is a set of helpers to facilitate several aspects of address space sharing and device memory management.

1.7. Asynchronous buffered I/O support

The buffered I/O path in Linux can block in some situations. Using a threadpool to emulate non-blocking operations on regular buffered files is a common pattern today (samba, libuv, etc...) Applications split the work between network bound threads (epoll) and IO threadpool. Not every application can use sendfile syscall (TLS / post-processing). This common pattern leads to increased request latency. Latency can be due to additional synchronization between the threads or fast (cached data) request stuck behind slow request (large / uncached data).

In this release, the preadv2(2) syscall with RWF_NONBLOCK will let userspace applications bypass enqueuing operation in the threadpool if it's already available in the pagecache.

1.8. Better cpufreq coordination with SMP

In Linux, notifications of task scheduler events are sent to the cpufreq subsystem, so that it can increase the frequency if needed, and achieve good interactivity. However, the cpufreq drivers are not called when the events are happening in different CPUs, for example, a new process being created in another CPU. This release makes task scheduler to update the cpufreq policies for remote CPUs as well. The schedutil, ondemand and conservative governors are updated to process cpufreq updates for remote CPUs (the intel_pstate driver is updated to always reject them).

1.9. Control Groups thread mode

In this release, cgroup v2 supports thread granularity, to support use cases requiring hierarchical resource distribution across the threads of a group of processes. By default, all threads of a process belong to the same cgroup, which also serves as the resource domain to host resource consumptions which are not specific to a process or thread. The thread mode allows threads to be spread across a subtree while still maintaining the common resource domain for them.

1.10. Longer-lived TLB Entries with PCID

PCID is a hardware feature that has been available on Intel CPUs and that it attaches an address space tag to TLB entries and thus allows the hardware to skip TLB flushes when it context-switches. x86's PCID is far too short to uniquely identify a process, and it can't even really uniquely identify a running process because there are monster systems with over 4096 CPUs. To make matters worse, past attempts to use all 12 PCID bits have resulted in slowdowns instead of speedups.

This release uses PCID differently. It uses a PCID to identify a recently-used mm on a per-cpu basis. An mm has no fixed PCID binding at all; instead, it is given a fresh PCID each time it's loaded except in cases where the kernel wants to preserve the TLB, in which case it reuses a recent value.

• Second step of Transparent Huge Page swap optimization. In the first step, the splitting huge page is delayed from almost the first step of swapping out to after allocating the swap space for the THP and adding the THP into the swap cache.

Swap out throughput of THP improves 42% in some benchmarks [https://git.kernel.org/linus/a3aea839e42ef8d76bb58091ab7f5a45a85ea299 commit], [https://git.kernel.org/linus/e07098294adfd03d582af7626752255e3d170393 commit], [https://git.kernel.org/linus/ba3c4ce6def4915093be80585ff69f780630f32f commit], [https://git.kernel.org/linus/f0eea189e8e969b66e03bac8a7d92888ba267854 commit], [https://git.kernel.org/linus/98cc093cba1e925eb34963dedb5f1684f1bdb2f4 commit], [https://git.kernel.org/linus/225311a46411c37e20e73d99f4382f141e12f6f9 commit], [https://git.kernel.org/linus/59807685a7e77e8c8fe5925613968841538d53d7 commit], [https://git.kernel.org/linus/3e14a57b2416b7c94189b95baffd673cf5e0d0a3 commit], [https://git.kernel.org/linus/abe2895b76047bf5430990f2584cd91f76692218 commit], [https://git.kernel.org/linus/d6810d730022016d9c0f389452b86b035dba1492 commit], [https://git.kernel.org/linus/bd4c82c22c367e068acb1ec9ec02be2fac3e09e2 commit], [https://git.kernel.org/linus/fe490cc0fe9e6ee48cc48bb5dc463bc5f0f1428f commit]

• Virtual memory based swap readahead. The traditional approach is readahead based on the placement of pages in the swap device; this release does swap readahead based on the placement of swapped pages in virtual memory. This approach causes extra overhead in traditional HDDs, which is why it's only enabled for SSDs. A sysfs knob, /sys/kernel/mm/swap/vma_ra_enabled, has been added that allows to enable it manually; swap readahead statistics are also available [https://git.kernel.org/linus/cbc65df240c104bf540af1ad58595bf1eaa5ee10 commit], [https://git.kernel.org/linus/c4fa63092f216737b60c789968371d9960a598e5 commit], [https://git.kernel.org/linus/ec560175c0b6fce86994bdf036754d48122c5c87 commit], [https://git.kernel.org/linus/d9bfcfdc41e8e5d80f7591f95a09ccce7cb8ad05 commit], [https://git.kernel.org/linus/81a0298bdfab0203d360df7c9bf690d1d457f999 commit]

• hugetlb: when clearing a huge page from the begin to the end, it is possible that the begin of the huge page is evicted from the CPU cache, and it is possible for the application to access the begin of the huge page after clearing the huge page. This release clears the huge page from the end to the beginning [https://git.kernel.org/linus/c79b57e462b5d2f47afa5f175cf1828f16e18612 commit]

• madvise(2): introduce MADV_WIPEONFORK, which result in a memory area being empty in the child process after fork. It differs from MADV_DONTFORK in that if a child process accesses memory that was MADV_WIPEONFORK, it will get zeroes, but the address ranges are still valid. It only works on private, anonymous VMAs. It is similar to the OpenBSD minherit syscall with MAP_INHERIT_ZERO [https://git.kernel.org/linus/df3735c5b40fad8d0d28eb8ab065fe955b3347ee commit], [https://git.kernel.org/linus/d2cd9ede6e193dd7d88b6d27399e96229a551b19 commit]

• shmem: add hugetlbfs support to memfd_create(2), adding a new flag, MFD_HUGETLB. It is useful for the Oracle garbage collection [https://git.kernel.org/linus/749df87bd7bee5a79cef073f5d032ddb2b211de8 commit]

• Add /proc/pid/smaps_rollup, a new proc file. Some systems (eg Android) regularly samples the memory usage in /proc/pid/smaps to determine aggregate memory statistics (e.g., total PSS) of a process. For very large processes, that can be too slow, as printing the information in /proc/pid/smaps can be too slow. The new file contains most of the fields of /proc/pid/smaps, but instead of a set of fields for each VMA, it contains one synthetic smaps-format entry representing the whole process. In the single smaps_rollup synthetic entry, each field is the summation of the corresponding field in all of the real-smaps VMAs. The same format is preserved so thatuserspace parsers can repurpose parsers with minimal fuss [https://git.kernel.org/linus/493b0e9d945fa9dfe96be93ae41b4ca4b6fdb317 commit]
