Michael Kerrisk 525a8b5461 fanotify_mark.2, link.2, mount.2, umount.2, proc.5, cgroups.7, fanotify.7: Terminology clean-up: "mount point" ==> "mount"
Many times, these pages use the terminology "mount point", where
"mount" would be better. A "mount point" is the location at which
a mount is attached. A "mount" is an association between a
filesystem and a mount point.

Michael Kerrisk 6cee0ddeb4 proc.5: Document /proc/sys/vm/sysctl_hugetlb_shm_group
As a deprecated feature, it appears that the RLIMIT_MEMLOCK
can also be used to permit huge page allocation, but let's
not document that for now.

In the Linux 5.12, see fs/hugetlbfs/inode.c.

static int can_do_hugetlb_shm(void)
{
        kgid_t shm_group;
        shm_group = make_kgid(&init_user_ns, sysctl_hugetlb_shm_group);
        return capable(CAP_IPC_LOCK) || in_group_p(shm_group);
}

...

struct file *hugetlb_file_setup(const char *name, size_t size,
                                vm_flags_t acctflag, struct user_struct **user,
                                int creat_flags, int page_size_log)
{
        ...
        if (creat_flags == HUGETLB_SHMFS_INODE && !can_do_hugetlb_shm()) {
                *user = current_user();
                if (user_shm_lock(size, *user)) {
                        task_lock(current);
                        pr_warn_once("%s (%d): Using mlock ulimits for SHM_HUGETLB is deprecated\n",
                                current->comm, current->pid);
                        task_unlock(current);
                } else {
                        *user = NULL;
                        return ERR_PTR(-EPERM);
                }
        }

Jann Horn 20e43cd694 proc.5: Document inaccurate RSS due to SPLIT_RSS_COUNTING
[mtk: Manually applied patch, because of conflicts with other
merged changes; also added an edit suggested by Jann; see the
thread at
https://lore.kernel.org/linux-man/20201012114940.1317510-1-jannh@google.com/]

Since 34e55232e59f7b19050267a05ff1226e5cd122a5 (introduced back in
v2.6.34), Linux uses per-thread RSS counters to reduce cache
contention on the per-mm counters. With a 4K page size, that means
that you can end up with the counters off by up to 252KiB per
thread.

Example:

$ cat rsstest.c
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <err.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <signal.h>
#include <unistd.h>
#include <sys/mman.h>
#include <sys/eventfd.h>
#include <sys/prctl.h>
void dump(int pid) {
  char cmd[1000];
  sprintf(cmd,
    "grep '^VmRSS' /proc/%d/status;"
    "grep '^Rss:' /proc/%d/smaps_rollup;"
    "echo",
    pid, pid
  );
  system(cmd);
}
int main(void) {
  eventfd_t dummy;
  int child_wait = eventfd(0, EFD_SEMAPHORE|EFD_CLOEXEC);
  int child_resume = eventfd(0, EFD_SEMAPHORE|EFD_CLOEXEC);
  if (child_wait == -1 || child_resume == -1) err(1, "eventfd");
  pid_t child = fork();
  if (child == -1) err(1, "fork");
  if (child == 0) {
    if (prctl(PR_SET_PDEATHSIG, SIGKILL)) err(1, "PDEATHSIG");
    if (getppid() == 1) exit(0);
    char *mapping = mmap(NULL, 80 * 0x1000, PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE,
                         MAP_PRIVATE|MAP_ANONYMOUS, -1, 0);
    eventfd_write(child_wait, 1);
    eventfd_read(child_resume, &dummy);
    for (int i=0; i<40; i++) mapping[0x1000 * i] = 1;
    eventfd_write(child_wait, 1);
    eventfd_read(child_resume, &dummy);
    for (int i=40; i<80; i++) mapping[0x1000 * i] = 1;
    eventfd_write(child_wait, 1);
    eventfd_read(child_resume, &dummy);
    exit(0);
  }

  eventfd_read(child_wait, &dummy);
  dump(child);
  eventfd_write(child_resume, 1);

  eventfd_read(child_wait, &dummy);
  dump(child);
  eventfd_write(child_resume, 1);

  eventfd_read(child_wait, &dummy);
  dump(child);
  eventfd_write(child_resume, 1);

  exit(0);
}

Let's document that those counters aren't entirely accurate.

Jing Peng 9ae9894c8e proc.5: wfix
In the section for /proc/[pid]/smaps, the description of field
ProtectionKey occurs twice: both before and after the description of
VmFlags.

Changes made by this patch:
1) Only the first occurrence is kept because its order matches the
output of /proc/[pid]/smaps.
2) The kernel version that CONFIG_X86_INTEL_MEMORY_PROTECTION_KEYS was
introduced is only mentioned in the second occurrence. Now it's moved
to the first one.
