一:缺页中断处理
在调用malloc后只建立了虚拟地址空间,没有分配内存对应的物理内存,当进程访问没有建立映射关系的虚拟内存时,会产生缺页中断(考虑的问题比较多:匿名页面,KSM页面,pagecache页面,写时复制,私有映射,共享映射)。
缺页异常处理依赖于处理器的体系架构,因此缺页异常底层的处理流程在内核代码中的特定结构部分。
__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。
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.

do_page_fault->handle_mm_fault->handle_mm_fault->handle_pte_dault
static int __handle_mm_fault(struct mm_struct *mm, struct vm_area_struct *vma, unsigned long address, unsigned int flags) { pgd_t *pgd; pud_t *pud; pmd_t *pmd; pte_t *pte; if (unlikely(is_vm_hugetlb_page(vma))) return hugetlb_fault(mm, vma, address, flags); pgd = pgd_offset(mm, address);------------------------------------获取当前address在当前进程页表项PGD页面目录项。 pud = pud_alloc(mm, pgd, address);--------------------------------获取当前address在当前进程对应PUD页表目录项。 if (!pud) return VM_FAULT_OOM; pmd = pmd_alloc(mm, pud, address);--------------------------------找到当前地址的PMD页表目录项 if (!pmd) return VM_FAULT_OOM; if (pmd_none(*pmd) && transparent_hugepage_enabled(vma)) { int ret = VM_FAULT_FALLBACK; if (!vma->vm_ops) ret = do_huge_pmd_anonymous_page(mm, vma, address, pmd, flags); if (!(ret & VM_FAULT_FALLBACK)) return ret; } else { pmd_t orig_pmd = *pmd; int ret; barrier(); if (pmd_trans_huge(orig_pmd)) { unsigned int dirty = flags & FAULT_FLAG_WRITE; /* * If the pmd is splitting, return and retry the * the fault.

1.2:对缺页中断的区分
static int handle_pte_fault(struct mm_struct *mm, struct vm_area_struct *vma, unsigned long address, pte_t *pte, pmd_t *pmd, unsigned int flags) { pte_t entry; spinlock_t *ptl; /* * some architectures can have larger ptes than wordsize, * e.g.ppc44x-defconfig has CONFIG_PTE_64BIT=y and CONFIG_32BIT=y, * so READ_ONCE or ACCESS_ONCE cannot guarantee atomic accesses. * The code below just needs a consistent view for the ifs and * we later double check anyway with the ptl lock held.

文件映射缺页中断 :处理函数:do_fault,有vm_ops(设置了vm的操作函数),pte内容为空,页不在内存中(pte 没有映射物理页面)
匿名缺页中断 :处理函数:do_anonymous_page,没有vm_ops,pte内容为空,页不在内存中
页被交换的swap分区:处理函数:do_swap_page,pte内容存在,页不在内存中
写时复制 :处理函数:do_wp_page,页在内存中
1.3: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()。
handle_pte_fault->do_anonymous_page
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; }
1.4:文件映射缺页中断
- 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()
- 其余情况则说明是共享文件映射缺页异常,调用do_shared_fault()
static int do_read_fault(struct mm_struct *mm, struct vm_area_struct *vma, unsigned long address, pmd_t *pmd, pgoff_t pgoff, unsigned int flags, pte_t orig_pte) { struct page *fault_page; spinlock_t *ptl; pte_t *pte; int ret = 0; if (vma->vm_ops->map_pages && fault_around_bytes >> PAGE_SHIFT > 1) {------static unsigned long fault_around_bytes __read_mostly =rounddown_pow_of_two(65536);

2.1:_count表示内核中引用该页面的次数。
_count == 0:表示该页面位空闲或即将要被释放。
_count > 0:表示该页面已经被分配切内核正在使用,暂不会被释放。
内核中操作_count的引用技术API有get_page()和put_page()。
(1)分配页面时_count引用计数会变成1。
分配页面函数alloc_pages()在成功分配页面后,_count引用计数应该为0,由set_page_refcounter()设置。
(2)加入LRU链表时,page会被kswapd内核线程使用,因此_count引用计数会加1。
以malloc()为用户程序分配内存为例,发生缺页中断后do_anonymous_page()函数成功分配出来一个页面,在设置硬件PTE之前,调用lru_cache_add()函数把这个匿名页面添加到LRU链表中,在这个过程中,使用page_cache_get()宏来增加_count引用计数。
2.2:_mapcount引用计数表示这个页面被进程映射的个数,即已经映射了多少个用户pte也表。
每个用户进程地址空间都有一份独立的页表,有可能出现多个用户进程地址空间同时映射到一个物理页面的情况,RMAP反向映射系统就是利用这个特性来实现的。
_mapcount引用计数主要用于RMAP反响映射系统中。
_mapcount == -1:表示没有pte映射到页面中。
_mapcount == 0:表示只有父进程映射了页面。
匿名页面刚分配时,_mapcount引用计数初始化为0.
_mapcount > 0:表示除了父进程外还有其他进程映射了这个页面。
设置父进程pte页表项内容到子进程中并增加该页面的_mapcount计数。
2.3:页面所PG_locked
PG_locked用于设置页面锁,有两个函数用于申请页面锁:lock_page()和trylock_page()。
lock_page()用于申请页面锁,如果页面锁被其他进程占用,那么睡眠等待。
trylock_page()也同样检查PG_locked位,但是不等待。如果页面的PG_locked置位,则返回false,表明有其他进程已经锁住了页面;返回true表示获取锁成功。
