Linux内存管理 (10)缺页中断处理
专题：Linux内存管理专题
关键词：数据异常、缺页中断、匿名页面、文件映射页面、写时复制页面、swap页面。
malloc()和mmap()等内存分配函数，在分配时只是建立了进程虚拟地址空间，并没有分配虚拟内存对应的物理内存。
当进程访问这些没有建立映射关系的虚拟内存时，处理器自动触发一个缺页异常。
缺页异常是Linux内存管理中最复杂和重要的一部分，需要考虑很多相关细节，包括匿名页面、KSM页面、page cache页面、写时复制、私有映射和共享映射等。
首先ARMv7-A缺页异常介绍了从数据异常产生到，具体处理函数的流程；
do_page_fault是缺页中断处理的核心函数，后面几章都围绕它展开；
匿名页面缺页中断、文件映射缺页中断、写时复制分别针对不同情况进行了处理。
此处欠一张缺页中断流程图。
1. ARMv7-A缺页异常
当有中断到来时，硬件会做一些处理；对于软件来说，要做的事情是从中断向量表开始。
__vectors_start是中断异常处理的起点，具体到缺页异常路径是：
__vectors_start-->vector_dabt-->__dabt_usr/__dabt_svc-->dabt_helper-->v7_early_abort-->do_DataAbort-->fsr_info-->do_translation_fault/do_page_fault/do_sect_fault。
重点是do_page_fault。
.section .vectors, "ax", %progbits __vectors_start: W(b) vector_rst W(b) vector_und W(ldr) pc, __vectors_start + 0x1000 W(b) vector_pabt W(b) vector_dabt--------------------------数据异常向量 W(b) vector_addrexcptn W(b) vector_irq W(b) vector_fiq
data abort只能出现在user mode和svc mode两种模式下，其他模式下无效。
两者都通过dabt_helper进行处理。
/* * Data abort dispatcher * Enter in ABT mode, spsr = USR CPSR, lr = USR PC */ vector_stub dabt, ABT_MODE, 8 .long __dabt_usr @ 0 (USR_26 / USR_32) .long __dabt_invalid @ 1 (FIQ_26 / FIQ_32) .long __dabt_invalid @ 2 (IRQ_26 / IRQ_32) .long __dabt_svc @ 3 (SVC_26 / SVC_32) ... __dabt_usr: usr_entry kuser_cmpxchg_check mov r2, sp dabt_helper b ret_from_exception UNWIND(.fnend ) ENDPROC(__dabt_usr) __dabt_svc: svc_entry mov r2, sp dabt_helper THUMB( ldr r5, [sp, #S_PSR] ) @ potentially updated CPSR svc_exit r5 @ return from exception UNWIND(.fnend ) ENDPROC(__dabt_svc) .macro dabt_helper @ @ Call the processor-specific abort handler: @ @ r2 - pt_regs @ r4 - aborted context pc @ r5 - aborted context psr @ @ The abort handler must return the aborted address in r0, and @ the fault status register in r1. r9 must be preserved. @ #ifdef MULTI_DABORT ldr ip, .LCprocfns mov lr, pc ldr pc, [ip, #PROCESSOR_DABT_FUNC] #else bl CPU_DABORT_HANDLER--------------------------------指向v7_early_abort #endif .endm

从上面的解释可知，取CP15的c6和c5放入r0和r1，分别表示FAR和FSR。
ENTRY(v7_early_abort) mrc p15, 0, r1, c5, c0, 0 @ get FSR mrc p15, 0, r0, c6, c0, 0 @ get FAR ... b do_DataAbort ENDPROC(v7_early_abort)
从v7_early_abort可知，addr是从CP15的c6获取，fsr是从CP15的c5获取；regs在__dabt_usr/__dabt_svc中从sp获取。
/* * Dispatch a data abort to the relevant handler. */ asmlinkage void __exception do_DataAbort(unsigned long addr, unsigned int fsr, struct pt_regs *regs) { const struct fsr_info *inf = fsr_info + fsr_fs(fsr);----------------根据fsr从fsr_info中找到对应的处理函数。 struct siginfo info; if (!inf->fn(addr, fsr & ~FSR_LNX_PF, regs))------------------------根据fsr进行处理 return; pr_alert("Unhandled fault: %s (0x%03x) at 0x%08lx\n",---------------下面都是无法处理的异常 inf->name, fsr, addr); show_pte(current->mm, addr); info.si_signo = inf->sig; info.si_errno = 0; info.si_code = inf->code; info.si_addr = (void __user *)addr; arm_notify_die("", regs, &info, fsr, 0); }
fsr_fs将fsr转换到fsr_info下表，从而获取对应的错误类型处理函数。
static inline int fsr_fs(unsigned int fsr) { return (fsr & FSR_FS3_0) | (fsr & FSR_FS4) >> 6;------------取fsr低4位；再与fsr第11位，然后右移6位，最后再与低4位或。 }
fsr_info数组中对不同FSR类型规定了不同处理手段：
static struct fsr_info fsr_info[] = { /* * The following are the standard ARMv3 and ARMv4 aborts. ARMv5 * defines these to be "precise" aborts. */... { do_translation_fault, SIGSEGV, SEGV_MAPERR, "section translation fault" },-----段转换错误，即找不到二级页表 { do_bad, SIGBUS, 0, "external abort on linefetch" }, { do_page_fault, SIGSEGV, SEGV_MAPERR, "page translation fault" },---------------页表错误，没有对应的物理地址 { do_bad, SIGBUS, 0, "external abort on non-linefetch" }, { do_bad, SIGSEGV, SEGV_ACCERR, "section domain fault" }, { do_bad, SIGBUS, 0, "external abort on non-linefetch" }, { do_bad, SIGSEGV, SEGV_ACCERR, "page domain fault" }, { do_bad, SIGBUS, 0, "external abort on translation" }, { do_sect_fault, SIGSEGV, SEGV_ACCERR, "section permission fault" },-------------段权限错误，二级页表权限错误 { do_bad, SIGBUS, 0, "external abort on translation" }, { do_page_fault, SIGSEGV, SEGV_ACCERR, "page permission fault" },------------页权限错误 ... }
2. do_page_fault
do_page_fault是缺页中断的核心函数，主要工作交给__do_page_fault处理，然后进行一些异常处理__do_kernel_fault和__do_user_fault。
__do_page_fault查找合适的vma，然后主要工作交给handle_mm_fault；handle_mm_fault的核心又是handle_pte_fault。
handle_pte_fault中根据也是否存在分为两类：do_fault(文件映射缺页中断)、do_anonymous_page(匿名页面缺页中断)、do_swap_page()和do_wp_page(写时复制)。
static int __kprobes do_page_fault(unsigned long addr, unsigned int fsr, struct pt_regs *regs) { struct task_struct *tsk; struct mm_struct *mm; int fault, sig, code; unsigned int flags = FAULT_FLAG_ALLOW_RETRY | FAULT_FLAG_KILLABLE; if (notify_page_fault(regs, fsr)) return 0; tsk = current;-------------------------------------------获取当前进程的task_struct mm = tsk->mm;-------------------------------------------获取进程内存管理结构体mm_struct /* Enable interrupts if they were enabled in the parent context. */ if (interrupts_enabled(regs)) local_irq_enable(); /* * If we're in an interrupt or have no user * context, we must not take the fault.. */ if (in_atomic() || !mm)----------------------------------in_atomic判断当前状态是否处于中断上下文或者禁止抢占，如果是跳转到no_context；如果当前进程没有mm，说明是一个内核线程，跳转到no_context。 goto no_context; if (user_mode(regs)) flags |= FAULT_FLAG_USER; if (fsr & FSR_WRITE) flags |= FAULT_FLAG_WRITE; /* * As per x86, we may deadlock here. However, since the kernel only * validly references user space from well defined areas of the code, * we can bug out early if this is from code which shouldn't. */ if (!down_read_trylock(&mm->mmap_sem)) { if (!user_mode(regs) && !search_exception_tables(regs->ARM_pc))----------发生在内核空间，且没有在exception tables查询到该地址，跳转到no_context。 goto no_context; retry: down_read(&mm->mmap_sem);---------------------------用户空间则睡眠等待锁持有者释放锁。 } else { /* * The above down_read_trylock() might have succeeded in * which case, we'll have missed the might_sleep() from * down_read() */ might_sleep(); #ifdef CONFIG_DEBUG_VM if (!user_mode(regs) && !search_exception_tables(regs->ARM_pc)) goto no_context; #endif } fault = __do_page_fault(mm, addr, fsr, flags, tsk); /* If we need to retry but a fatal signal is pending, handle the * signal first. We do not need to release the mmap_sem because * it would already be released in __lock_page_or_retry in * mm/filemap.c. */ if ((fault & VM_FAULT_RETRY) && fatal_signal_pending(current)) return 0; /* * Major/minor page fault accounting is only done on the * initial attempt. If we go through a retry, it is extremely * likely that the page will be found in page cache at that point. */ perf_sw_event(PERF_COUNT_SW_PAGE_FAULTS, 1, regs, addr); if (!(fault & VM_FAULT_ERROR) && flags & FAULT_FLAG_ALLOW_RETRY) { if (fault & VM_FAULT_MAJOR) { tsk->maj_flt++; perf_sw_event(PERF_COUNT_SW_PAGE_FAULTS_MAJ, 1, regs, addr); } else { tsk->min_flt++; perf_sw_event(PERF_COUNT_SW_PAGE_FAULTS_MIN, 1, regs, addr); } if (fault & VM_FAULT_RETRY) { /* Clear FAULT_FLAG_ALLOW_RETRY to avoid any risk * of starvation. */ flags &= ~FAULT_FLAG_ALLOW_RETRY; flags |= FAULT_FLAG_TRIED; goto retry; } } up_read(&mm->mmap_sem); /* * Handle the "normal" case first - VM_FAULT_MAJOR / VM_FAULT_MINOR */ if (likely(!(fault & (VM_FAULT_ERROR | VM_FAULT_BADMAP | VM_FAULT_BADACCESS))))----没有错误，说明缺页中断处理完成。 return 0; /* * If we are in kernel mode at this point, we * have no context to handle this fault with. */ if (!user_mode(regs))-----------------------------------判断CPSR寄存器的低4位，CPSR的低5位表示当前所处的模式。如果低4位位0，则处于用户态。见下面CPSRM4~M0细节。 goto no_context;------------------------------------进行内核空间错误处理 if (fault & VM_FAULT_OOM) { /* * We ran out of memory, call the OOM killer, and return to * userspace (which will retry the fault, or kill us if we * got oom-killed) */ pagefault_out_of_memory();--------------------------进行OOM处理，然后返回。 return 0; } if (fault & VM_FAULT_SIGBUS) { /* * We had some memory, but were unable to * successfully fix up this page fault. */ sig = SIGBUS; code = BUS_ADRERR; } else { /* * Something tried to access memory that * isn't in our memory map.. */ sig = SIGSEGV; code = fault == VM_FAULT_BADACCESS ? SEGV_ACCERR : SEGV_MAPERR; } __do_user_fault(tsk, addr, fsr, sig, code, regs);------用户模式下错误处理，通过给用户进程发信号：SIGBUS/SIGSEGV。 return 0; no_context: __do_kernel_fault(mm, addr, fsr, regs);----------------错误发生在内核模式，如果内核无法处理，此处产生oops错误。 return 0; }
CPSR是当前程序状态寄存器的意思，格式如下：
其中M[4:0]的解释如下，可以看出user_mode判断的低4位，都为0即为用户模式。

do_page_fault调用__do_page_fault，__do_page_fault首先根据addr查找VMA，然后交给handle_mm_fault进行处理。
handle_mm_fault调用__handle_mm_fault，__handle_mm_fault进行从PGD-->PUD-->PMD-->PTE的处理。对于二级映射来说，最主要的PTE的处理交给handle_pte_fault。

handle_pte_fault对各种缺页异常进行了区分，然后进行处理。
有几个关键点是区分一场类型的要点：
| 各种场景 | 缺页中断类型 | 处理函数 | ||
| 页不在内存中 | pte内容为空 | 有vm_ops | 文件映射缺页中断 | do_fault |
| 没有vm_ops | 匿名页面缺页中断 | do_anonymous_page | ||
| pte内容存在 | 页被交换到swap分区 | do_swap_page | ||
| 页在内存中 | 写时复制 | do_wp_page | ||
下面就来看一下流程：
/* * These routines also need to handle stuff like marking pages dirty * and/or accessed for architectures that don't do it in hardware (most * RISC architectures). The early dirtying is also good on the i386. * * There is also a hook called "update_mmu_cache()" that architectures * with external mmu caches can use to update those (ie the Sparc or * PowerPC hashed page tables that act as extended TLBs). * * We enter with non-exclusive mmap_sem (to exclude vma changes, * but allow concurrent faults), and pte mapped but not yet locked. * We return with pte unmapped and unlocked. * * The mmap_sem may have been released depending on flags and our * return value.

至此已经对缺页中断主分支进行了分析，下面几章节着重介绍三种类型的缺页中断：匿名页面、文件页面和写时复制。
3. 匿名页面缺页中断
匿名页面是相对于文件映射页面的，Linux中将所有没有关联到文件映射的页面成为匿名页面。其核心处理函数为do_anonymous_page()。
缺一张流程图
/* * We enter with non-exclusive mmap_sem (to exclude vma changes, * but allow concurrent faults), and pte mapped but not yet locked. * We return with mmap_sem still held, but pte unmapped and unlocked. */ static int do_anonymous_page(struct mm_struct *mm, struct vm_area_struct *vma, unsigned long address, pte_t *page_table, pmd_t *pmd, unsigned int flags) { struct mem_cgroup *memcg; struct page *page; spinlock_t *ptl; pte_t entry; pte_unmap(page_table); /* Check if we need to add a guard page to the stack */ if (check_stack_guard_page(vma, address) < 0) return VM_FAULT_SIGSEGV; /* Use the zero-page for reads */ if (!(flags & FAULT_FLAG_WRITE) && !mm_forbids_zeropage(mm)) {--------------如果是分配只读属性的页面，使用一个zeroed的全局页面empty_zero_page entry = pte_mkspecial(pfn_pte(my_zero_pfn(address), vma->vm_page_prot)); page_table = pte_offset_map_lock(mm, pmd, address, &ptl); if (!pte_none(*page_table)) goto unlock; goto setpte;------------------------------------------------------------跳转到setpte设置硬件pte表项，把新的PTE entry设置到硬件页表中 } /* Allocate our own private page. */ if (unlikely(anon_vma_prepare(vma))) goto oom; page = alloc_zeroed_user_highpage_movable(vma, address);-------------------如果页面是可写的，分配掩码是__GFP_MOVABLE|__GFP_WAIT|__GFP_IO|__GFP_FS|__GFP_HARDWALL|__GFP_HIGHMEM。最终调用alloc_pages，优先使用高端内存。 if (!page) goto oom; /* * The memory barrier inside __SetPageUptodate makes sure that * preceeding stores to the page contents become visible before * the set_pte_at() write. */ __SetPageUptodate(page); if (mem_cgroup_try_charge(page, mm, GFP_KERNEL, &memcg)) goto oom_free_page; entry = mk_pte(page, vma->vm_page_prot); if (vma->vm_flags & VM_WRITE) entry = pte_mkwrite(pte_mkdirty(entry));-------------------------------生成一个新的PTE Entry page_table = pte_offset_map_lock(mm, pmd, address, &ptl); if (!pte_none(*page_table)) goto release; inc_mm_counter_fast(mm, MM_ANONPAGES);------------------------------------增加系统中匿名页面统计计数，计数类型是MM_ANONPAGES page_add_new_anon_rmap(page, vma, address);-------------------------------将匿名页面添加到RMAP系统中 mem_cgroup_commit_charge(page, memcg, false); lru_cache_add_active_or_unevictable(page, vma);---------------------------将匿名页面添加到LRU链表中 setpte: set_pte_at(mm, address, page_table, entry);-------------------------------将entry设置到PTE硬件中 /* No need to invalidate - it was non-present before */ update_mmu_cache(vma, address, page_table); unlock: pte_unmap_unlock(page_table, ptl); return 0; release: mem_cgroup_cancel_charge(page, memcg); page_cache_release(page); goto unlock; oom_free_page: page_cache_release(page); oom: return VM_FAULT_OOM; }
4. 文件映射缺页中断
文件映射缺页中断又分为三种：
- flags中不包含FAULT_FLAG_WRITE，说明是只读异常，调用do_read_fault()
- VMA的vm_flags没有定义VM_SHARED，说明这是一个私有文件映射，发生了写时复制COW，调用do_cow_fault()
