be9258a6bf mm/madvise: remove len parameter of madvise_do_behavior()
Because madise_should_skip() logic is factored out, making
madvise_do_behavior() calculates 'len' on its own rather then receiving it
as a parameter makes code simpler.  Remove the parameter.

0a6ffacb3b mm/madvise: deduplicate madvise_do_behavior() skip case handlings
The logic for checking if a given madvise() request for a single memory
range can skip real work, namely madvise_do_behavior(), is duplicated in
do_madvise() and vector_madvise().  Split out the logic to a function and
reuse it.

f4a578d345 mm/madvise: split out populate behavior check logic
madvise_do_behavior() has a long open-coded 'behavior' check for
MADV_POPULATE_{READ,WRITE}.  It adds multiple layers[1] and make the code
arguably take longer time to read.  Like is_memory_failure(), split out
the check to a separate function.  This is not technically removing the
additional layer but discourage further extending the switch-case.  Also
it makes madvise_do_behavior() code shorter and therefore easier to read.

9ecd2f839b mm/madvise: use is_memory_failure() from madvise_do_behavior()
Patch series "mm/madvise: cleanup requests validations and classifications".

Cleanup madvise entry level code for cleaner request validations and
classifications.


This patch (of 4):

To reduce redundant open-coded checks of CONFIG_MEMORY_FAILURE and
MADV_{HWPOISON,SOFT_OFFLINE} in madvise_[un]lock(), is_memory_failure() is
introduced.  madvise_do_behavior() is still doing the same open-coded
check, though.  Use is_memory_failure() instead.

To avoid build failure on !CONFIG_MEMORY_FAILURE case, implement an empty
madvise_inject_error() under the config.  Also move the definition of
is_memory_failure() inside #ifdef CONFIG_MEMORY_FAILURE clause for
madvise_inject_error() definition, to reduce duplicated ifdef clauses.

003fde4492 mm: convert folio_likely_mapped_shared() to folio_maybe_mapped_shared()
Let's reuse our new MM ownership tracking infrastructure for large folios
to make folio_likely_mapped_shared() never return false negatives -- never
indicating "not mapped shared" although the folio *is* mapped shared. 
With that, we can rename it to folio_maybe_mapped_shared() and get rid of
the dependency on the mapcount of the first folio page.

The semantics are now arguably clearer: no mixture of "false negatives"
and "false positives", only the remaining possibility for "false
positives".

Thoroughly document the new semantics.  We might now detect that a large
folio is "maybe mapped shared" although it *no longer* is -- but once was.
Now, if more than two MMs mapped a folio at the same time, and the MM
mapping the folio exclusively at the end is not one tracked in the two
folio MM slots, we will detect the folio as "maybe mapped shared".

For anonymous folios, usually (except weird corner cases) all PTEs that
target a "maybe mapped shared" folio are R/O.  As soon as a child process
would write to them (iow, actively use them), we would CoW and effectively
replace these PTEs.  Most cases (below) are not expected to really matter
with large anonymous folios for this reason.

Most importantly, there will be no change at all for:
* small folios
* hugetlb folios
* PMD-mapped PMD-sized THPs (single mapping)

This change has the potential to affect existing callers of
folio_likely_mapped_shared() -> folio_maybe_mapped_shared():

(1) fs/proc/task_mmu.c: no change (hugetlb)

(2) khugepaged counts PTEs that target shared folios towards
    max_ptes_shared (default: HPAGE_PMD_NR / 2), meaning we could skip a
    collapse where we would have previously collapsed.  This only applies
    to anonymous folios and is not expected to matter in practice.

    Worth noting that this change sorts out case (A) documented in
    commit 1bafe96e89f0 ("mm/khugepaged: replace page_mapcount() check by
    folio_likely_mapped_shared()") by removing the possibility for "false
    negatives".

(3) MADV_COLD / MADV_PAGEOUT / MADV_FREE will not try splitting
    PTE-mapped THPs that are considered shared but not fully covered by
    the requested range, consequently not processing them.

    PMD-mapped PMD-sized THP are not affected, or when all PTEs are
    covered.  These functions are usually only called on anon/file folios
    that are exclusively mapped most of the time (no other file mappings
    or no fork()), so the "false negatives" are not expected to matter in
    practice.

(4) mbind() / migrate_pages() / move_pages() will refuse to migrate
    shared folios unless MPOL_MF_MOVE_ALL is effective (requires
    CAP_SYS_NICE).  We will now reject some folios that could be migrated.

    Similar to (3), especially with MPOL_MF_MOVE_ALL, so this is not
    expected to matter in practice.

    Note that cpuset_migrate_mm_workfn() calls do_migrate_pages() with
    MPOL_MF_MOVE_ALL.

(5) NUMA hinting

    mm/migrate.c:migrate_misplaced_folio_prepare() will skip file
    folios that are probably shared libraries (-> "mapped shared" and
    executable).  This check would have detected it as a shared library at
    some point (at least 3 MMs mapping it), so detecting it afterwards
    does not sound wrong (still a shared library).  Not expected to
    matter.

    mm/memory.c:numa_migrate_check() will indicate TNF_SHARED in
    MAP_SHARED file mappings when encountering a shared folio.  Similar
    reasoning, not expected to matter.

    mm/mprotect.c:change_pte_range() will skip folios detected as
    shared in CoW mappings.  Similarly, this is not expected to matter in
    practice, but if it would ever be a problem we could relax that check
    a bit (e.g., basing it on the average page-mapcount in a folio),
    because it was only an optimization when many (e.g., 288) processes
    were mapping the same folios -- see commit 859d4adc3415 ("mm: numa: do
    not trap faults on shared data section pages.")

(6) mm/rmap.c:folio_referenced_one() will skip exclusive swapbacked
    folios in dying processes.  Applies to anonymous folios only.  Without
    "false negatives", we'll now skip all actually shared ones.  Skipping
    ones that are actually exclusive won't really matter, it's a pure
    optimization, and is not expected to matter in practice.

In theory, one can detect the problematic scenario: folio_mapcount() > 0
and no folio MM slot is occupied ("state unknown").  One could reset the
MM slots while doing an rmap walk, which migration / folio split already
do when setting everything up.  Further, when batching PTEs we might
naturally learn about a owner (e.g., folio_mapcount() == nr_ptes) and
could update the owner.  However, we'll defer that until the scenarios
where it would really matter are clear.

f807123d57 mm: allow guard regions in file-backed and read-only mappings
Patch series "mm: permit guard regions for file-backed/shmem mappings".

The guard regions feature was initially implemented to support anonymous
mappings only, excluding shmem.

This was done so as to introduce the feature carefully and incrementally
and to be conservative when considering the various caveats and corner
cases that are applicable to file-backed mappings but not to anonymous
ones.

Now this feature has landed in 6.13, it is time to revisit this and to
extend this functionality to file-backed and shmem mappings.

In order to make this maximally useful, and since one may map file-backed
mappings read-only (for instance ELF images), we also remove the
restriction on read-only mappings and permit the establishment of guard
regions in any non-hugetlb, non-mlock()'d mapping.

It is permissible to permit the establishment of guard regions in
read-only mappings because the guard regions only reduce access to the
mapping, and when removed simply reinstate the existing attributes of the
underlying VMA, meaning no access violations can occur.

While the change in kernel code introduced in this series is small, the
majority of the effort here is spent in extending the testing to assert
that the feature works correctly across numerous file-backed mapping
scenarios.

Every single guard region self-test performed against anonymous memory
(which is relevant and not anon-only) has now been updated to also be
performed against shmem and a mapping of a file in the working directory.

This confirms that all cases also function correctly for file-backed guard
regions.

In addition a number of other tests are added for specific file-backed
mapping scenarios.

There are a number of other concerns that one might have with regard to
guard regions, addressed below:

Readahead
~~~~~~~~~

Readahead is a process through which the page cache is populated on the
assumption that sequential reads will occur, thus amortising I/O and,
through a clever use of the PG_readahead folio flag establishing during
major fault and checked upon minor fault, provides for asynchronous I/O to
occur as dat is processed, reducing I/O stalls as data is faulted in.

Guard regions do not alter this mechanism which operates at the folio and
fault level, but does of course prevent the faulting of folios that would
otherwise be mapped.

In the instance of a major fault prior to a guard region, synchronous
readahead will occur including populating folios in the page cache which
the guard regions will, in the case of the mapping in question, prevent
access to.

In addition, if PG_readahead is placed in a folio that is now
inaccessible, this will prevent asynchronous readahead from occurring as
it would otherwise do.

However, there are mechanisms for heuristically resetting this within
readahead regardless, which will 'recover' correct readahead behaviour.

Readahead presumes sequential data access, the presence of a guard region
clearly indicates that, at least in the guard region, no such sequential
access will occur, as it cannot occur there.

So this should have very little impact on any real workload.  The far more
important point is as to whether readahead causes incorrect or
inappropriate mapping of ranges disallowed by the presence of guard
regions - this is not the case, as readahead does not 'pre-fault' memory
in this fashion.

At any rate, any mechanism which would attempt to do so would hit the
usual page fault paths, which correctly handle PTE markers as with
anonymous mappings.

Fault-Around
~~~~~~~~~~~~

The fault-around logic, in a similar vein to readahead, attempts to
improve efficiency with regard to file-backed memory mappings, however it
differs in that it does not try to fetch folios into the page cache that
are about to be accessed, but rather pre-maps a range of folios around the
faulting address.

Guard regions making use of PTE markers makes this relatively trivial, as
this case is already handled - see filemap_map_folio_range() and
filemap_map_order0_folio() - in both instances, the solution is to simply
keep the established page table mappings and let the fault handler take
care of PTE markers, as per the comment:

	/*
	 * NOTE: If there're PTE markers, we'll leave them to be
	 * handled in the specific fault path, and it'll prohibit
	 * the fault-around logic.
	 */

This works, as establishing guard regions results in page table mappings
with PTE markers, and clearing them removes them.

Truncation
~~~~~~~~~~

File truncation will not eliminate existing guard regions, as the
truncation operation will ultimately zap the range via
unmap_mapping_range(), which specifically excludes PTE markers.

Zapping
~~~~~~~

Zapping is, as with anonymous mappings, handled by zap_nonpresent_ptes(),
which specifically deals with guard entries, leaving them intact except in
instances such as process teardown or munmap() where they need to be
removed.

Reclaim
~~~~~~~

When reclaim is performed on file-backed folios, it ultimately invokes
try_to_unmap_one() via the rmap.  If the folio is non-large, then
map_pte() will ultimately abort the operation for the guard region
mapping.  If large, then check_pte() will determine that this is a
non-device private entry/device-exclusive entry 'swap' PTE and thus abort
the operation in that instance.

Therefore, no odd things happen in the instance of reclaim being attempted
upon a file-backed guard region.

Hole Punching
~~~~~~~~~~~~~

This updates the page cache and ultimately invokes unmap_mapping_range(),
which explicitly leaves PTE markers in place.

Because the establishment of guard regions zapped any existing mappings to
file-backed folios, once the guard regions are removed then the
hole-punched region will be faulted in as usual and everything will behave
as expected.


One thing to note with this series is that it now implies file-backed
VMAs which install guard regions will now have an anon_vma installed if
not already present (i.e.  if not post-CoW MAP_PRIVATE).

I have audited kernel source for instances of vma->anon_vma checks and
found nowhere where this would be problematic for pure file-backed
mappings.

I also discussed (off-list) with Matthew who confirmed he can't see any
issue with this.

In effect, we treat these VMAs as if they are MAP_PRIVATE, only with 0
CoW'd pages.  As a result, the rmap never has a reason to reference the
anon_vma from folios at any point and thus no unexpected or weird
behaviour results.

The anon_vma logic tries to avoid unnecessary anon_vma propagation on
fork so we ought to at least minimise overhead.

However, this is still overhead, and unwelcome overhead.

The whole reason we do this (in madvise_guard_install()) is to ensure
that fork _copies page tables_.  Otherwise, in vma_needs_copy(),
nothing will indicate that we should do so.

This was already an unpleasant thing to have to do, but without a new
VMA flag we really have no reasonable means of ensuring this happens.

Going forward, I intend to add a new VMA flag, VM_MAYBE_GUARDED or
something like this.

This would have specific behaviour - for the purposes of merging, it
would be ignored.  However on both split and merge, it will be
propagated.  It is therefore 'sticky'.

This is to avoid having to traverse page tables to determine which
parts of a VMA contain guard regions and of course to maintain the
desirable qualities of guard regions - the lack of VMA propagation (+
thus slab allocations of VMAs).

Adding this flag and adjusting vma_needs_copy() to reference it would
resolve the issue.

However :) we have a VMA flag space issue, so it'd render this a 64-bit
feature only.

Having discussed with Matthew a plan by which to perhaps extend
available flags for 32-bit we may going forward be able to avoid this. 
But this may be a longer term project.

In the meantime, we'd have to resort to the anon_vma hack for 32-bit,
using the flag for 64-bit.  The issue with this however is if we do
then intend to allow the flag to enable /proc/$pid/maps visibility
(something this could allow), it would also end up being 64-bit only
which would be a pity.

Regardless - I wanted to highlight this behaviour as it is perhaps
somewhat surprising.


This patch (of 4):

There is no reason to disallow guard regions in file-backed mappings -
readahead and fault-around both function correctly in the presence of PTE
markers, equally other operations relating to memory-mapped files function
correctly.

Additionally, read-only mappings if introducing guard-regions, only
restrict the mapping further, which means there is no violation of any
access rights by permitting this to be so.

Removing this restriction allows for read-only mapped files (such as
executable files) correctly which would otherwise not be permitted.

4cc39f91ef mm/madvise: split out mmap locking operations for madvise()
Patch series "mm/madvise: remove redundant mmap_lock operations from
process_madvise()".

process_madvise() calls do_madvise() for each address range.  Then, each
do_madvise() invocation holds and releases same mmap_lock.  Optimize the
redundant lock operations by splitting do_madvise() internal logic
including the mmap_lock operations, and calling the small logic directly
from process_madvise() in a sequence that removes the redundant locking. 
As a result of this change, process_madvise() becomes more efficient and
less racy in terms of its results and latency.

Note that the potential downside of this series is that other mmap_lock
holders may take more time due to the increased length of mmap_lock
critical section for process_madvise() calls.  But there is maximum limit
in the kernel space (IOV_MAX), and userspace can control the critical
section length by setting the request size.  Hence, the downside would be
limited and controllable.

Evaluation
==========

I measured the time to apply MADV_DONTNEED advice to 256 MiB memory using
multiple madvise() calls, 4 KiB per each call.  I also do the same with
process_madvise(), but with varying batch size (vlen) from 1 to 1024.  The
source code for the measurement is available at GitHub[1].  Because the
microbenchmark result is not that stable, I ran each configuration five
times and use the average.

The measurement results are as below.  'sz_batches' column shows the batch
size of process_madvise() calls.  '0' batch size is for madvise() calls
case.  'before' and 'after' columns are the measured time to apply
MADV_DONTNEED to the 256 MiB memory buffer in nanoseconds, on kernels that
built without and with the last patch of this series, respectively.  So
lower value means better efficiency.  'after/before' column is the ratio
of 'after' to 'before'.

Despite the unstable nature of the test program, the trend is as we
expect.  The measurement shows this patchset reduces the process_madvise()
latency, proportional to the batching size.  The latency gain was about
20% with the batch size 2, and it has increased to about 28% with the
batch size 512, since more number of mmap locking is reduced with larger
batch size.

Note that the standard devitation of the measurements for each sz_batches
configuration ranged from 1.9% to 7.2%.  That is, this result is not very
stable.  The average of the standard deviations for different batch sizes
were 4.62% and 4.70% for the 'before' and 'after' kernel measurements.

Also note that this patch has somehow decreased latencies of madvise() and
single batch size process_madvise().  Seems this code path is small enough
to significantly be affected by compiler optimizations including inlining
of split-out functions.  Please focus on only the improvement amount that
changed by the batch size.

This patch (of 4):

Split out the madvise behavior-dependent mmap_lock operations from
do_madvise(), for easier reuse of the logic in an upcoming change.

2ede647a6f mm,madvise,hugetlb: check for 0-length range after end address adjustment
Add a sanity check to madvise_dontneed_free() to address a corner case in
madvise where a race condition causes the current vma being processed to
be backed by a different page size.

During a madvise(MADV_DONTNEED) call on a memory region registered with a
userfaultfd, there's a period of time where the process mm lock is
temporarily released in order to send a UFFD_EVENT_REMOVE and let
userspace handle the event.  During this time, the vma covering the
current address range may change due to an explicit mmap done concurrently
by another thread.

If, after that change, the memory region, which was originally backed by
4KB pages, is now backed by hugepages, the end address is rounded down to
a hugepage boundary to avoid data loss (see "Fixes" below).  This rounding
may cause the end address to be truncated to the same address as the
start.

Make this corner case follow the same semantics as in other similar cases
where the requested region has zero length (ie.  return 0).

This will make madvise_walk_vmas() continue to the next vma in the range
(this time holding the process mm lock) which, due to the prev pointer
becoming stale because of the vma change, will be the same hugepage-backed
vma that was just checked before.  The next time madvise_dontneed_free()
runs for this vma, if the start address isn't aligned to a hugepage
boundary, it'll return -EINVAL, which is also in line with the madvise
api.

From userspace perspective, madvise() will return EINVAL because the start
address isn't aligned according to the new vma alignment requirements
(hugepage), even though it was correctly page-aligned when the call was
issued.

6375e95f38 mm: pgtable: reclaim empty PTE page in madvise(MADV_DONTNEED)
Now in order to pursue high performance, applications mostly use some
high-performance user-mode memory allocators, such as jemalloc or
tcmalloc.  These memory allocators use madvise(MADV_DONTNEED or MADV_FREE)
to release physical memory, but neither MADV_DONTNEED nor MADV_FREE will
release page table memory, which may cause huge page table memory usage.

The following are a memory usage snapshot of one process which actually
happened on our server:

        VIRT:  55t
        RES:   590g
        VmPTE: 110g

In this case, most of the page table entries are empty.  For such a PTE
page where all entries are empty, we can actually free it back to the
system for others to use.

As a first step, this commit aims to synchronously free the empty PTE
pages in madvise(MADV_DONTNEED) case.  We will detect and free empty PTE
pages in zap_pte_range(), and will add zap_details.reclaim_pt to exclude
cases other than madvise(MADV_DONTNEED).

Once an empty PTE is detected, we first try to hold the pmd lock within
the pte lock.  If successful, we clear the pmd entry directly (fast path).
Otherwise, we wait until the pte lock is released, then re-hold the pmd
and pte locks and loop PTRS_PER_PTE times to check pte_none() to re-detect
whether the PTE page is empty and free it (slow path).

For other cases such as madvise(MADV_FREE), consider scanning and freeing
empty PTE pages asynchronously in the future.

The following code snippet can show the effect of optimization:

        mmap 50G
        while (1) {
                for (; i < 1024 * 25; i++) {
                        touch 2M memory
                        madvise MADV_DONTNEED 2M
                }
        }

As we can see, the memory usage of VmPTE is reduced:

                        before                          after
VIRT                   50.0 GB                        50.0 GB
RES                     3.1 MB                         3.1 MB
VmPTE                102640 KB                         240 KB

662df3e5c3 mm: madvise: implement lightweight guard page mechanism
Implement a new lightweight guard page feature, that is regions of
userland virtual memory that, when accessed, cause a fatal signal to
arise.

Currently users must establish PROT_NONE ranges to achieve this.

However this is very costly memory-wise - we need a VMA for each and every
one of these regions AND they become unmergeable with surrounding VMAs.

In addition repeated mmap() calls require repeated kernel context switches
and contention of the mmap lock to install these ranges, potentially also
having to unmap memory if installed over existing ranges.

The lightweight guard approach eliminates the VMA cost altogether - rather
than establishing a PROT_NONE VMA, it operates at the level of page table
entries - establishing PTE markers such that accesses to them cause a
fault followed by a SIGSGEV signal being raised.

This is achieved through the PTE marker mechanism, which we have already
extended to provide PTE_MARKER_GUARD, which we installed via the generic
page walking logic which we have extended for this purpose.

These guard ranges are established with MADV_GUARD_INSTALL.  If the range
in which they are installed contain any existing mappings, they will be
zapped, i.e.  free the range and unmap memory (thus mimicking the
behaviour of MADV_DONTNEED in this respect).

Any existing guard entries will be left untouched.  There is therefore no
nesting of guarded pages.

Guarded ranges are NOT cleared by MADV_DONTNEED nor MADV_FREE (in both
instances the memory range may be reused at which point a user would
expect guards to still be in place), but they are cleared via
MADV_GUARD_REMOVE, process teardown or unmapping of memory ranges.

The guard property can be removed from ranges via MADV_GUARD_REMOVE.  The
ranges over which this is applied, should they contain non-guard entries,
will be untouched, with only guard entries being cleared.

We permit this operation on anonymous memory only, and only VMAs which are
non-special, non-huge and not mlock()'d (if we permitted this we'd have to
drop locked pages which would be rather counterintuitive).

Racing page faults can cause repeated attempts to install guard pages that
are interrupted, result in a zap, and this process can end up being
repeated.  If this happens more than would be expected in normal
operation, we rescind locks and retry the whole thing, which avoids lock
contention in this scenario.

021781b012 mm/madvise: unrestrict process_madvise() for current process
The process_madvise() call was introduced in commit ecb8ac8b1f14
("mm/madvise: introduce process_madvise() syscall: an external memory
hinting API") as a means of performing madvise() operations on another
process.

However, as it provides the means by which to perform multiple madvise()
operations in a batch via an iovec, it is useful to utilise the same
interface for performing operations on the current process rather than a
remote one.

Commit 22af8caff7d1 ("mm/madvise: process_madvise() drop capability check
if same mm") removed the need for a caller invoking process_madvise() on
its own pidfd to possess the CAP_SYS_NICE capability, however this leaves
the restrictions on operation in place.

Resolve this by only applying the restriction on operations when accessing
a remote process.

Moving forward we plan to implement a simpler means of specifying this
condition other than needing to establish a self pidfd, perhaps in the
form of a sentinel pidfd.

Also take the opportunity to refactor the system call implementation
abstracting the vectorised operation.

cd3f8467af mm: refactor mm_access() to not return NULL
mm_access() can return NULL if the mm is not found, but this is handled
the same as an error in all callers, with some translating this into an
-ESRCH error.

Only proc_mem_open() returns NULL if no mm is found, however in this case
it is clearer and makes more sense to explicitly handle the error. 
Additionally we take the opportunity to refactor the function to eliminate
unnecessary nesting.

Simplify things by simply returning -ESRCH if no mm is found - this both
eliminates confusing use of the IS_ERR_OR_NULL() macro, and simplifies
callers which would return -ESRCH by returning this error directly.

22af8caff7 mm/madvise: process_madvise() drop capability check if same mm
In commit 96cfe2c0fd23 ("mm/madvise: replace ptrace attach requirement for
process_madvise") process_madvise() was updated to require the caller to
possess the CAP_SYS_NICE capability to perform the operation, in addition
to a check against PTRACE_MODE_READ performed by mm_access().

The mm_access() function explicitly checks to see if the address space of
the process being referenced is the current one, in which case no check is
performed.

We, however, do not do this when checking the CAP_SYS_NICE capability. This
means that we insist on the caller possessing this capability in order to
perform madvise() operations on its own address space, which seems
nonsensical.

Simply add a check to allow for an invocation of this function with pidfd
set to the current process without elevation.

23c57d1fa2 mseal: replace can_modify_mm_madv with a vma variant
Replace can_modify_mm_madv() with a single vma variant, and associated
checks in madvise.

While we're at it, also invert the order of checks in:
 if (unlikely(is_ro_anon(vma) && !can_modify_vma(vma))

Checking if we can modify the vma itself (through vm_flags) is certainly
cheaper than is_ro_anon() due to arch_vma_access_permitted() looking at
e.g pkeys registers (with extra branches) in some architectures.

This patch allows for partial madvise success when finding a sealed VMA,
which historically has been allowed in Linux.

Merge tag 'random-6.11-rc1-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/crng/random

Pull random number generator updates from Jason Donenfeld:
 "This adds getrandom() support to the vDSO.

  First, it adds a new kind of mapping to mmap(2), MAP_DROPPABLE, which
  lets the kernel zero out pages anytime under memory pressure, which
  enables allocating memory that never gets swapped to disk but also
  doesn't count as being mlocked.

  Then, the vDSO implementation of getrandom() is introduced in a
  generic manner and hooked into random.c.

  Next, this is implemented on x86. (Also, though it's not ready for
  this pull, somebody has begun an arm64 implementation already)

  Finally, two vDSO selftests are added.

  There are also two housekeeping cleanup commits"

Jason A. Donenfeld
9651fcedf7 mm: add MAP_DROPPABLE for designating always lazily freeable mappings
The vDSO getrandom() implementation works with a buffer allocated with a
new system call that has certain requirements:

- It shouldn't be written to core dumps.
  * Easy: VM_DONTDUMP.
- It should be zeroed on fork.
  * Easy: VM_WIPEONFORK.

- It shouldn't be written to swap.
  * Uh-oh: mlock is rlimited.
  * Uh-oh: mlock isn't inherited by forks.

- It shouldn't reserve actual memory, but it also shouldn't crash when
  page faulting in memory if none is available
  * Uh-oh: VM_NORESERVE means segfaults.

It turns out that the vDSO getrandom() function has three really nice
characteristics that we can exploit to solve this problem:

1) Due to being wiped during fork(), the vDSO code is already robust to
   having the contents of the pages it reads zeroed out midway through
   the function's execution.

2) In the absolute worst case of whatever contingency we're coding for,
   we have the option to fallback to the getrandom() syscall, and
   everything is fine.

3) The buffers the function uses are only ever useful for a maximum of
   60 seconds -- a sort of cache, rather than a long term allocation.

These characteristics mean that we can introduce VM_DROPPABLE, which
has the following semantics:

a) It never is written out to swap.
b) Under memory pressure, mm can just drop the pages (so that they're
   zero when read back again).
c) It is inherited by fork.
d) It doesn't count against the mlock budget, since nothing is locked.
e) If there's not enough memory to service a page fault, it's not fatal,
   and no signal is sent.

This way, allocations used by vDSO getrandom() can use:

    VM_DROPPABLE | VM_DONTDUMP | VM_WIPEONFORK | VM_NORESERVE

And there will be no problem with OOMing, crashing on overcommitment,
using memory when not in use, not wiping on fork(), coredumps, or
writing out to swap.

In order to let vDSO getrandom() use this, expose these via mmap(2) as
MAP_DROPPABLE.

Note that this involves removing the MADV_FREE special case from
sort_folio(), which according to Yu Zhao is unnecessary and will simply
result in an extra call to shrink_folio_list() in the worst case. The
chunk removed reenables the swapbacked flag, which we don't want for
VM_DROPPABLE, and we can't conditionalize it here because there isn't a
vma reference available.

Finally, the provided self test ensures that this is working as desired.

6680252629 mm/madvise: add MF_ACTION_REQUIRED to madvise(MADV_HWPOISON)
The soft hwpoison injector via madvise(MADV_HWPOISON) operates in a
synchrous way in a sense, the injector is also a process under test, and
should it have the poisoned page mapped in its address space, it should
get killed as much as in a real UE situation.  Doing so align with what
the madvise(2) man page says: " "This operation may result in the calling
process receiving a SIGBUS and the page being unmapped."

8be7258aad mseal: add mseal syscall
The new mseal() is an syscall on 64 bit CPU, and with following signature:

int mseal(void addr, size_t len, unsigned long flags)
addr/len: memory range.
flags: reserved.

mseal() blocks following operations for the given memory range.

1> Unmapping, moving to another location, and shrinking the size,
   via munmap() and mremap(), can leave an empty space, therefore can
   be replaced with a VMA with a new set of attributes.

2> Moving or expanding a different VMA into the current location,
   via mremap().

3> Modifying a VMA via mmap(MAP_FIXED).

4> Size expansion, via mremap(), does not appear to pose any specific
   risks to sealed VMAs. It is included anyway because the use case is
   unclear. In any case, users can rely on merging to expand a sealed VMA.

5> mprotect() and pkey_mprotect().

6> Some destructive madvice() behaviors (e.g. MADV_DONTNEED) for anonymous
   memory, when users don't have write permission to the memory. Those
   behaviors can alter region contents by discarding pages, effectively a
   memset(0) for anonymous memory.

Following input during RFC are incooperated into this patch:

Jann Horn: raising awareness and providing valuable insights on the
destructive madvise operations.
Linus Torvalds: assisting in defining system call signature and scope.
Liam R. Howlett: perf optimization.
Theo de Raadt: sharing the experiences and insight gained from
  implementing mimmutable() in OpenBSD.

Finally, the idea that inspired this patch comes from Stephen Röttger's
work in Chrome V8 CFI.

dce7d10be4 mm/madvise: optimize lazyfreeing with mTHP in madvise_free
This patch optimizes lazyfreeing with PTE-mapped mTHP[1] (Inspired by
David Hildenbrand[2]).  We aim to avoid unnecessary folio splitting if the
large folio is fully mapped within the target range.

If a large folio is locked or shared, or if we fail to split it, we just
leave it in place and advance to the next PTE in the range.  But note that
the behavior is changed; previously, any failure of this sort would cause
the entire operation to give up.  As large folios become more common,
sticking to the old way could result in wasted opportunities.

On an Intel I5 CPU, lazyfreeing a 1GiB VMA backed by PTE-mapped folios of
the same size results in the following runtimes for madvise(MADV_FREE) in
seconds (shorter is better):

1b68112c40 mm/madvise: introduce clear_young_dirty_ptes() batch helper
Patch series "mm/madvise: enhance lazyfreeing with mTHP in madvise_free",
v10.

This patchset adds support for lazyfreeing multi-size THP (mTHP) without
needing to first split the large folio via split_folio().  However, we
still need to split a large folio that is not fully mapped within the
target range.

If a large folio is locked or shared, or if we fail to split it, we just
leave it in place and advance to the next PTE in the range.  But note that
the behavior is changed; previously, any failure of this sort would cause
the entire operation to give up.  As large folios become more common,
sticking to the old way could result in wasted opportunities.

This patch (of 4):

This commit introduces clear_young_dirty_ptes() to replace mkold_ptes(). 
By doing so, we can use the same function for both use cases
(madvise_pageout and madvise_free), and it also provides the flexibility
to only clear the dirty flag in the future if needed.

3931b871c4 mm: madvise: avoid split during MADV_PAGEOUT and MADV_COLD
Rework madvise_cold_or_pageout_pte_range() to avoid splitting any large
folio that is fully and contiguously mapped in the pageout/cold vm range. 
This change means that large folios will be maintained all the way to swap
storage.  This both improves performance during swap-out, by eliding the
cost of splitting the folio, and sets us up nicely for maintaining the
large folio when it is swapped back in (to be covered in a separate
series).

Folios that are not fully mapped in the target range are still split, but
note that behavior is changed so that if the split fails for any reason
(folio locked, shared, etc) we now leave it as is and move to the next pte
in the range and continue work on the proceeding folios.  Previously any
failure of this sort would cause the entire operation to give up and no
folios mapped at higher addresses were paged out or made cold.  Given
large folios are becoming more common, this old behavior would have likely
lead to wasted opportunities.

While we are at it, change the code that clears young from the ptes to use
ptep_test_and_clear_young(), via the new mkold_ptes() batch helper
function.  This is more efficent than get_and_clear/modify/set, especially
for contpte mappings on arm64, where the old approach would require
unfolding/refolding and the new approach can be done in place.

a62fb92ac1 mm: swap: free_swap_and_cache_nr() as batched free_swap_and_cache()
Now that we no longer have a convenient flag in the cluster to determine
if a folio is large, free_swap_and_cache() will take a reference and lock
a large folio much more often, which could lead to contention and (e.g.)
failure to split large folios, etc.

Let's solve that problem by batch freeing swap and cache with a new
function, free_swap_and_cache_nr(), to free a contiguous range of swap
entries together.  This allows us to first drop a reference to each swap
slot before we try to release the cache folio.  This means we only try to
release the folio once, only taking the reference and lock once - much
better than the previous 512 times for the 2M THP case.

Contiguous swap entries are gathered in zap_pte_range() and
madvise_free_pte_range() in a similar way to how present ptes are already
gathered in zap_pte_range().

While we are at it, let's simplify by converting the return type of both
functions to void.  The return value was used only by zap_pte_range() to
print a bad pte, and was ignored by everyone else, so the extra reporting
wasn't exactly guaranteed.  We will still get the warning with most of the
information from get_swap_device().  With the batch version, we wouldn't
know which pte was bad anyway so could print the wrong one.

ebb34f78d7 mm: convert folio_estimated_sharers() to folio_likely_mapped_shared()
Callers of folio_estimated_sharers() only care about "mapped shared vs. 
mapped exclusively", not the exact estimate of sharers.  Let's consolidate
and unify the condition users are checking.  While at it clarify the
semantics and extend the discussion on the fuzziness.

Use the "likely mapped shared" terminology to better express what the
(adjusted) function actually checks.

Whether a partially-mappable folio is more likely to not be partially
mapped than partially mapped is debatable.  In the future, we might be
able to improve our estimate for partially-mappable folios, though.

Note that we will now consistently detect "mapped shared" only if the
first subpage is actually mapped multiple times.  When the first subpage
is not mapped, we will consistently detect it as "mapped exclusively". 
This change should currently only affect the usage in
madvise_free_pte_range() and queue_folios_pte_range() for large folios: if
the first page was already unmapped, we would have skipped the folio.

fa9fcd8bb6 mm/madvise: don't perform madvise VMA walk for MADV_POPULATE_(READ|WRITE)
We changed faultin_page_range() to no longer consume a VMA, because
faultin_page_range() might internally release the mm lock to lookup
the VMA again -- required to cleanly handle VM_FAULT_RETRY. But
independent of that, __get_user_pages() will always lookup the VMA
itself.

Now that we let __get_user_pages() just handle VMA checks in a way that
is suitable for MADV_POPULATE_(READ|WRITE), the VMA walk in madvise()
is just overhead. So let's just call madvise_populate()
on the full range instead.

There is one change in behavior: madvise_walk_vmas() would skip any VMA
holes, and if everything succeeded, it would return -ENOMEM after
processing all VMAs.

However, for MADV_POPULATE_(READ|WRITE) it's unlikely for the caller to
notice any difference: -ENOMEM might either indicate that there were VMA
holes or that populating page tables failed because there was not enough
memory. So it's unlikely that user space will notice the difference, and
that special handling likely only makes sense for some other madvise()
actions.

Further, we'd already fail with -ENOMEM early in the past if looking up the
VMA after dropping the MM lock failed because of concurrent VMA
modifications. So let's just keep it simple and avoid the madvise VMA
walk, and consistently fail early if we find a VMA hole.

631426ba1d mm/madvise: make MADV_POPULATE_(READ|WRITE) handle VM_FAULT_RETRY properly
Darrick reports that in some cases where pread() would fail with -EIO and
mmap()+access would generate a SIGBUS signal, MADV_POPULATE_READ /
MADV_POPULATE_WRITE will keep retrying forever and not fail with -EFAULT.

While the madvise() call can be interrupted by a signal, this is not the
desired behavior.  MADV_POPULATE_READ / MADV_POPULATE_WRITE should behave
like page faults in that case: fail and not retry forever.

A reproducer can be found at [1].

The reason is that __get_user_pages(), as called by
faultin_vma_page_range(), will not handle VM_FAULT_RETRY in a proper way:
it will simply return 0 when VM_FAULT_RETRY happened, making
madvise_populate()->faultin_vma_page_range() retry again and again, never
setting FOLL_TRIED->FAULT_FLAG_TRIED for __get_user_pages().

__get_user_pages_locked() does what we want, but duplicating that logic in
faultin_vma_page_range() feels wrong.

So let's use __get_user_pages_locked() instead, that will detect
VM_FAULT_RETRY and set FOLL_TRIED when retrying, making the fault handler
return VM_FAULT_SIGBUS (VM_FAULT_ERROR) at some point, propagating -EFAULT
from faultin_page() to __get_user_pages(), all the way to
madvise_populate().

But, there is an issue: __get_user_pages_locked() will end up re-taking
the MM lock and then __get_user_pages() will do another VMA lookup.  In
the meantime, the VMA layout could have changed and we'd fail with
different error codes than we'd want to.

As __get_user_pages() will currently do a new VMA lookup either way, let
it do the VMA handling in a different way, controlled by a new
FOLL_MADV_POPULATE flag, effectively moving these checks from
madvise_populate() + faultin_page_range() in there.

With this change, Darricks reproducer properly fails with -EFAULT, as
documented for MADV_POPULATE_READ / MADV_POPULATE_WRITE.

2864f3d0f5 mm: madvise: pageout: ignore references rather than clearing young
While doing MADV_PAGEOUT, the current code will clear PTE young so that
vmscan won't read young flags to allow the reclamation of madvised folios
to go ahead.  It seems we can do it by directly ignoring references, thus
we can remove tlb flush in madvise and rmap overhead in vmscan.

Regarding the side effect, in the original code, if a parallel thread runs
side by side to access the madvised memory with the thread doing madvise,
folios will get a chance to be re-activated by vmscan (though the time gap
is actually quite small since checking PTEs is done immediately after
clearing PTEs young).  But with this patch, they will still be reclaimed. 
But this behaviour doing PAGEOUT and doing access at the same time is
quite silly like DoS.  So probably, we don't need to care.  Or ignoring
the new access during the quite small time gap is even better.

For DAMON's DAMOS_PAGEOUT based on physical address region, we still keep
its behaviour as is since a physical address might be mapped by multiple
processes.  MADV_PAGEOUT based on virtual address is actually much more
aggressive on reclamation.  To untouch paddr's DAMOS_PAGEOUT, we simply
pass ignore_references as false in reclaim_pages().

A microbench as below has shown 6% decrement on the latency of
MADV_PAGEOUT,

 #define PGSIZE 4096
 main()
 {
 	int i;
 #define SIZE 512*1024*1024
 	volatile long *p = mmap(NULL, SIZE, PROT_READ | PROT_WRITE,
 			MAP_PRIVATE | MAP_ANONYMOUS, -1, 0);

 	for (i = 0; i < SIZE/sizeof(long); i += PGSIZE / sizeof(long))
 		p[i] =  0x11;

 	madvise(p, SIZE, MADV_PAGEOUT);
 }

cc864ebba5 madvise:madvise_cold_or_pageout_pte_range(): allow split while folio_estimated_sharers = 0
The purpose is stopping splitting large folios whose mapcount are 2 or
above.  Folios whose estimated_shares = 0 should be still perfect and even
better candidates than estimated_shares = 1.

Consider a pte-mapped large folio with 16 subpages, if we unmap 1-15, the
current code will split folios and reclaim them while madvise goes on this
folio; but if we unmap subpage 0, we will keep this folio and break.  This
is weird.

For pmd-mapped large folios, we can still use "= 1" as the condition as
anyway we have the entire map for it.  So this patch doesn't change the
condition for pmd-mapped large folios.  This also explains why we had been
using "= 1" for both pmd-mapped and pte-mapped large folios before commit
07e8c82b5eff ("madvise: convert madvise_cold_or_pageout_pte_range() to use
folios"), because in the past, we used the mapcount of the specific
subpage, since the subpage had pte present, its mapcount wouldn't be 0.

The problem can be quite easily reproduced by writing a small program,
unmapping the first subpage of a pte-mapped large folio vs.  unmapping
anyone other than the first subpage.

I conducted real-time testing and observed that
madvise_cold_or_pageout_pte_range() causes significant latency under
memory pressure, which can be effectively reduced by adding cond_resched()
within the loop.

I tested on the LicheePi 4A board using Cylictest for latency testing and
Ftrace for latency tracing.  The board uses TH1520 processor and has a
memory size of 8GB.  The kernel version is 6.5.0 with the PREEMPT_RT patch
applied.

The script I tested is as follows:

echo wakeup_rt > /sys/kernel/tracing/current_tracer
echo 1 > /sys/kernel/tracing/tracing_on
echo 0 > /sys/kernel/tracing/tracing_max_latency

cyclictest --mlockall --smp --priority=99 --distance=0 --duration=30m
echo 0 > /sys/kernel/tracing/tracing_on

After the modification, the cause of maximum latency is no longer
madvise_cold_or_pageout_pte_range(), so this modification can reduce the
latency caused by madvise_cold_or_pageout_pte_range().


Currently the madvise_cold_or_pageout_pte_range() function exhibits
significant latency under memory pressure, which can be effectively
reduced by adding cond_resched() within the loop.

When the batch_count reaches SWAP_CLUSTER_MAX, we reschedule
the task to ensure fairness and avoid long lock holding times.

e8e17ee90e mm: drop the assumption that VM_SHARED always implies writable
Patch series "permit write-sealed memfd read-only shared mappings", v4.

The man page for fcntl() describing memfd file seals states the following
about F_SEAL_WRITE:-

    Furthermore, trying to create new shared, writable memory-mappings via
    mmap(2) will also fail with EPERM.

With emphasis on 'writable'.  In turns out in fact that currently the
kernel simply disallows all new shared memory mappings for a memfd with
F_SEAL_WRITE applied, rendering this documentation inaccurate.

This matters because users are therefore unable to obtain a shared mapping
to a memfd after write sealing altogether, which limits their usefulness. 
This was reported in the discussion thread [1] originating from a bug
report [2].

This is a product of both using the struct address_space->i_mmap_writable
atomic counter to determine whether writing may be permitted, and the
kernel adjusting this counter when any VM_SHARED mapping is performed and
more generally implicitly assuming VM_SHARED implies writable.

It seems sensible that we should only update this mapping if VM_MAYWRITE
is specified, i.e.  whether it is possible that this mapping could at any
point be written to.

If we do so then all we need to do to permit write seals to function as
documented is to clear VM_MAYWRITE when mapping read-only.  It turns out
this functionality already exists for F_SEAL_FUTURE_WRITE - we can
therefore simply adapt this logic to do the same for F_SEAL_WRITE.

We then hit a chicken and egg situation in mmap_region() where the check
for VM_MAYWRITE occurs before we are able to clear this flag.  To work
around this, perform this check after we invoke call_mmap(), with careful
consideration of error paths.

Thanks to Andy Lutomirski for the suggestion!

This patch (of 3):

There is a general assumption that VMAs with the VM_SHARED flag set are
writable.  If the VM_MAYWRITE flag is not set, then this is simply not the
case.

Update those checks which affect the struct address_space->i_mmap_writable
field to explicitly test for this by introducing
[vma_]is_shared_maywrite() helper functions.

This remains entirely conservative, as the lack of VM_MAYWRITE guarantees
that the VMA cannot be written to.

94d7d92339 mm: abstract the vma_merge()/split_vma() pattern for mprotect() et al.
mprotect() and other functions which change VMA parameters over a range
each employ a pattern of:-

1. Attempt to merge the range with adjacent VMAs.
2. If this fails, and the range spans a subset of the VMA, split it
   accordingly.

This is open-coded and duplicated in each case. Also in each case most of
the parameters passed to vma_merge() remain the same.

Create a new function, vma_modify(), which abstracts this operation,
accepting only those parameters which can be changed.

To avoid the mess of invoking each function call with unnecessary
parameters, create inline wrapper functions for each of the modify
operations, parameterised only by what is required to perform the action.

We can also significantly simplify the logic - by returning the VMA if we
split (or merged VMA if we do not) we no longer need specific handling for
merge/split cases in any of the call sites.

Note that the userfaultfd_release() case works even though it does not
split VMAs - since start is set to vma->vm_start and end is set to
vma->vm_end, the split logic does not trigger.

In addition, since we calculate pgoff to be equal to vma->vm_pgoff + (start
- vma->vm_start) >> PAGE_SHIFT, and start - vma->vm_start will be 0 in this
instance, this invocation will remain unchanged.

We eliminate a VM_WARN_ON() in mprotect_fixup() as this simply asserts that
vma_merge() correctly ensures that flags remain the same, something that is
already checked in is_mergeable_vma() and elsewhere, and in any case is not
specific to mprotect().

b243dcbf2f swap: remove remnants of polling from read_swap_cache_async
Patch series "Per-VMA lock support for swap and userfaults", v7.

When per-VMA locks were introduced in [1] several types of page faults
would still fall back to mmap_lock to keep the patchset simple.  Among
them are swap and userfault pages.  The main reason for skipping those
cases was the fact that mmap_lock could be dropped while handling these
faults and that required additional logic to be implemented.  Implement
the mechanism to allow per-VMA locks to be dropped for these cases.

First, change handle_mm_fault to drop per-VMA locks when returning
VM_FAULT_RETRY or VM_FAULT_COMPLETED to be consistent with the way
mmap_lock is handled.  Then change folio_lock_or_retry to accept vm_fault
and return vm_fault_t which simplifies later patches.  Finally allow swap
and uffd page faults to be handled under per-VMA locks by dropping per-VMA
and retrying, the same way it's done under mmap_lock.  Naturally, once VMA
lock is dropped that VMA should be assumed unstable and can't be used.


This patch (of 6):

Commit [1] introduced IO polling support duding swapin to reduce swap read
latency for block devices that can be polled.  However later commit [2]
removed polling support.  Therefore it seems safe to remove do_poll
parameter in read_swap_cache_async and always call swap_readpage with
synchronous=false waiting for IO completion in folio_lock_or_retry.

[1] commit 23955622ff8d ("swap: add block io poll in swapin path")
[2] commit 9650b453a3d4 ("block: ignore RWF_HIPRI hint for sync dio")

0e0e9bd5f7 madvise:madvise_free_pte_range(): don't use mapcount() against large folio for sharing check
Commit 98b211d6415f ("madvise: convert madvise_free_pte_range() to use a
folio") replaced the page_mapcount() with folio_mapcount() to check
whether the folio is shared by other mapping.

It's not correct for large folios. folio_mapcount() returns the total
mapcount of large folio which is not suitable to detect whether the folio
is shared.

Use folio_estimated_sharers() which returns a estimated number of shares.
That means it's not 100% correct. It should be OK for madvise case here.

User-visible effects is that the THP is skipped when user call madvise.
But the correct behavior is THP should be split and processed then.

NOTE: this change is a temporary fix to reduce the user-visible effects
before the long term fix from David is ready.

2f406263e3 madvise:madvise_cold_or_pageout_pte_range(): don't use mapcount() against large folio for sharing check
Patch series "don't use mapcount() to check large folio sharing", v2.

In madvise_cold_or_pageout_pte_range() and madvise_free_pte_range(),
folio_mapcount() is used to check whether the folio is shared.  But it's
not correct as folio_mapcount() returns total mapcount of large folio.

Use folio_estimated_sharers() here as the estimated number is enough.

This patchset will fix the cases:
User space application call madvise() with MADV_FREE, MADV_COLD and
MADV_PAGEOUT for specific address range. There are THP mapped to the
range. Without the patchset, the THP is skipped. With the patch, the
THP will be split and handled accordingly.

60081bf19b mm: lock vma explicitly before doing vm_flags_reset and vm_flags_reset_once
Implicit vma locking inside vm_flags_reset() and vm_flags_reset_once() is
not obvious and makes it hard to understand where vma locking is happening.
Also in some cases (like in dup_userfaultfd()) vma should be locked earlier
than vma_flags modification. To make locking more visible, change these
functions to assert that the vma write lock is taken and explicitly lock
the vma beforehand. Fix userfaultfd functions which should lock the vma
earlier.

49b0638502 mm: enable page walking API to lock vmas during the walk
walk_page_range() and friends often operate under write-locked mmap_lock. 
With introduction of vma locks, the vmas have to be locked as well during
such walks to prevent concurrent page faults in these areas.  Add an
additional member to mm_walk_ops to indicate locking requirements for the
walk.

The change ensures that page walks which prevent concurrent page faults
by write-locking mmap_lock, operate correctly after introduction of
per-vma locks.  With per-vma locks page faults can be handled under vma
lock without taking mmap_lock at all, so write locking mmap_lock would
not stop them.  The change ensures vmas are properly locked during such
walks.

A sample issue this solves is do_mbind() performing queue_pages_range()
to queue pages for migration.  Without this change a concurrent page
can be faulted into the area and be left out of migration.

af19487f00 mm: make PTE_MARKER_SWAPIN_ERROR more general
Patch series "add UFFDIO_POISON to simulate memory poisoning with UFFD",
v4.

This series adds a new userfaultfd feature, UFFDIO_POISON. See commit 4
for a detailed description of the feature.


This patch (of 8):

Future patches will reuse PTE_MARKER_SWAPIN_ERROR to implement
UFFDIO_POISON, so make some various preparations for that:

First, rename it to just PTE_MARKER_POISONED.  The "SWAPIN" can be
confusing since we're going to re-use it for something not really related
to swap.  This can be particularly confusing for things like hugetlbfs,
which doesn't support swap whatsoever.  Also rename some various helper
functions.

Next, fix pte marker copying for hugetlbfs.  Previously, it would WARN on
seeing a PTE_MARKER_SWAPIN_ERROR, since hugetlbfs doesn't support swap. 
But, since we're going to re-use it, we want it to go ahead and copy it
just like non-hugetlbfs memory does today.  Since the code to do this is
more complicated now, pull it out into a helper which can be re-used in
both places.  While we're at it, also make it slightly more explicit in
its handling of e.g.  uffd wp markers.

For non-hugetlbfs page faults, instead of returning VM_FAULT_SIGBUS for an
error entry, return VM_FAULT_HWPOISON.  For most cases this change doesn't
matter, e.g.  a userspace program would receive a SIGBUS either way.  But
for UFFDIO_POISON, this change will let KVM guests get an MCE out of the
box, instead of giving a SIGBUS to the hypervisor and requiring it to
somehow inject an MCE.

Finally, for hugetlbfs faults, handle PTE_MARKER_POISONED, and return
VM_FAULT_HWPOISON_LARGE in such cases.  Note that this can't happen today
because the lack of swap support means we'll never end up with such a PTE
anyway, but this behavior will be needed once such entries *can* show up
via UFFDIO_POISON.

20c897eadf mm: madvise: fix uneven accounting of psi
A folio turns into a Workingset during:
1) shrink_active_list() placing the folio from active to inactive list.
2) When a workingset transition is happening during the folio refault.

And when Workingset is set on a folio, PSI for memory can be accounted
during a) That folio is being reclaimed and b) Refault of that folio,
for usual reclaims.

This accounting of PSI for memory is not consistent for reclaim +
refault operation between usual reclaim and madvise(COLD/PAGEOUT) which
deactivate or proactively reclaim a folio:
a) A folio started at inactive and moved to active as part of accesses.
Workingset is absent on the folio thus refault of it when reclaimed
through MADV_PAGEOUT operation doesn't account for PSI.

b) When the same folio transition from inactive->active and then to
inactive through shrink_active_list(). Workingset is set on the folio
thus refault of it when reclaimed through MADV_PAGEOUT operation
accounts for PSI.

c) When the same folio is part of active list directly as a result of
folio refault and this was a workingset folio prior to eviction.
Workingset is set on the folio thus the refault of it when reclaimed
through MADV_PAGEOUT/MADV_COLD operation accounts for PSI.

d) MADV_COLD transfers the folio from active list to inactive
list. Such folios may not have the Workingset thus refault operation on
such folio doesn't account for PSI.

As said above, refault operation caused because of MADV_PAGEOUT on a
folio is accounts for memory PSI in b) and c) but not in a). Refault
caused by the reclaim of a folio on which MADV_COLD is performed
accounts memory PSI in c) but not in d). These behaviours are
inconsistent w.r.t usual reclaim + refault operation. Make this PSI
accounting always consistent by turning a folio into a workingset one
whenever it is leaving the active list. Also, accounting of PSI on a
folio whenever it leaves the active list as part of the
MADV_COLD/PAGEOUT operation helps the users whether they are operating
on proper folios[1].

c33c794828 mm: ptep_get() conversion
Convert all instances of direct pte_t* dereferencing to instead use
ptep_get() helper.  This means that by default, the accesses change from a
C dereference to a READ_ONCE().  This is technically the correct thing to
do since where pgtables are modified by HW (for access/dirty) they are
volatile and therefore we should always ensure READ_ONCE() semantics.

But more importantly, by always using the helper, it can be overridden by
the architecture to fully encapsulate the contents of the pte.  Arch code
is deliberately not converted, as the arch code knows best.  It is
intended that arch code (arm64) will override the default with its own
implementation that can (e.g.) hide certain bits from the core code, or
determine young/dirty status by mixing in state from another source.

Conversion was done using Coccinelle:

----

// $ make coccicheck \
//          COCCI=ptepget.cocci \
//          SPFLAGS="--include-headers" \
//          MODE=patch

virtual patch

@ depends on patch @
pte_t *v;
@@

- *v
+ ptep_get(v)

----

Then reviewed and hand-edited to avoid multiple unnecessary calls to
ptep_get(), instead opting to store the result of a single call in a
variable, where it is correct to do so.  This aims to negate any cost of
READ_ONCE() and will benefit arch-overrides that may be more complex.

Included is a fix for an issue in an earlier version of this patch that
was pointed out by kernel test robot.  The issue arose because config
MMU=n elides definition of the ptep helper functions, including
ptep_get().  HUGETLB_PAGE=n configs still define a simple
huge_ptep_clear_flush() for linking purposes, which dereferences the ptep.
So when both configs are disabled, this caused a build error because
ptep_get() is not defined.  Fix by continuing to do a direct dereference
when MMU=n.  This is safe because for this config the arch code cannot be
trying to virtualize the ptes because none of the ptep helpers are
defined.
