David Hildenbrand says:
===================
This series fixes one issue with uffd + shared zeropages on s390x and
fixes that "ordinary" KVM guests can make use of shared zeropages again.
userfaultfd could currently end up mapping shared zeropages into processes
that forbid shared zeropages. This only apples to s390x, relevant for
handling PV guests and guests that use storage kets correctly. Fix it
by placing a zeroed folio instead of the shared zeropage during
UFFDIO_ZEROPAGE instead.
I stumbled over this issue while looking into a customer scenario that
is using:
(1) Memory ballooning for dynamic resizing. Start a VM with, say, 100 GiB
and inflate the balloon during boot to 60 GiB. The VM has ~40 GiB
available and additional memory can be "fake hotplugged" to the VM
later on demand by deflating the balloon. Actual memory overcommit is
not desired, so physical memory would only be moved between VMs.
(2) Live migration of VMs between sites to evacuate servers in case of
emergency.
Without the shared zeropage, during (2), the VM would suddenly consume
100 GiB on the migration source and destination. On the migration source,
where we don't excpect memory overcommit, we could easilt end up crashing
the VM during migration.
Independent of that, memory handed back to the hypervisor using "free page
reporting" would end up consuming actual memory after the migration on the
destination, not getting freed up until reused+freed again.
While there might be ways to optimize parts of this in QEMU, we really
should just support the shared zeropage again for ordinary VMs.
We only expect legcy guests to make use of storage keys, so let's handle
zeropages again when enabling storage keys or when enabling PV. To not
break userfaultfd like we did in the past, don't zap the shared zeropages,
but instead trigger unsharing faults, just like we do for unsharing
KSM pages in break_ksm().
Unsharing faults will simply replace the shared zeropage by a zeroed
anonymous folio. We can already trigger the same fault path using GUP,
when trying to long-term pin a shared zeropage, but also when unmerging
a KSM-placed zeropages, so this is nothing new.
Patch #1 tested on 86-64 by forcing mm_forbids_zeropage() to be 1, and
running the uffd selftests.
Patch #2 tested on s390x: the live migration scenario now works as
expected, and kvm-unit-tests that trigger usage of skeys work well, whereby
I can see detection and unsharing of shared zeropages.
Further (as broken in v2), I tested that the shared zeropage is no
longer populated after skeys are used -- that mm_forbids_zeropage() works
as expected:
./s390x-run s390x/skey.elf \
-no-shutdown \
-chardev socket,id=monitor,path=/var/tmp/mon,server,nowait \
-mon chardev=monitor,mode=readline
Then, in another shell:
# cat /proc/`pgrep qemu`/smaps_rollup | grep Rss
Rss: 31484 kB
# echo "dump-guest-memory tmp" | sudo nc -U /var/tmp/mon
...
# cat /proc/`pgrep qemu`/smaps_rollup | grep Rss
Rss: 160452 kB
-> Reading guest memory does not populate the shared zeropage
Doing the same with selftest.elf (no skeys)
# cat /proc/`pgrep qemu`/smaps_rollup | grep Rss
Rss: 30900 kB
# echo "dump-guest-memory tmp" | sudo nc -U /var/tmp/mon

The vm_flags of vma already checked under per-VMA lock, if it is a bad

Since the page faut is handled under per-VMA lock, count it as a vma lock

Future changes will need to add a new member to struct
vm_unmapped_area_info. This would cause trouble for any call site that
doesn't initialize the struct. Currently every caller sets each member
manually, so if new ones are added they will be uninitialized and the core
code parsing the struct will see garbage in the new member.
It could be possible to initialize the new member manually to 0 at each
call site. This and a couple other options were discussed. Having some
struct vm_unmapped_area_info instances not zero initialized will put those
sites at risk of feeding garbage into vm_unmapped_area(), if the
convention is to zero initialize the struct and any new field addition
missed a call site that initializes each field manually. So it is useful
to do things similar across the kernel.
The consensus (see links) was that in general the best way to accomplish
taking into account both code cleanliness and minimizing the chance of
introducing bugs, was to do C99 static initialization. As in: struct
vm_unmapped_area_info info = {};
With this method of initialization, the whole struct will be zero
initialized, and any statements setting fields to zero will be unneeded.
The change should not leave cleanup at the call sides.
While iterating though the possible solutions a few archs kindly acked
other variations that still zero initialized the struct. These sites have
been modified in previous changes using the pattern acked by the
respective arch.
So to be reduce the chance of bugs via uninitialized fields, perform a
tree wide change using the consensus for the best general way to do this
change. Use C99 static initializing to zero the struct and remove and
statements that simply set members to zero.

The mm_struct contains a function pointer *get_unmapped_area(), which is
set to either arch_get_unmapped_area() or arch_get_unmapped_area_topdown()
during the initialization of the mm.
Since the function pointer only ever points to two functions that are
named the same across all arch's, a function pointer is not really
required. In addition future changes will want to add versions of the
functions that take additional arguments. So to save a pointers worth of
bytes in mm_struct, and prevent adding additional function pointers to
mm_struct in future changes, remove it and keep the information about
which get_unmapped_area() to use in a flag.
Add the new flag to MMF_INIT_MASK so it doesn't get clobbered on fork by
mmf_init_flags(). Most MM flags get clobbered on fork. In the
pre-existing behavior mm->get_unmapped_area() would get copied to the new
mm in dup_mm(), so not clobbering the flag preserves the existing behavior
around inheriting the topdown-ness.
Introduce a helper, mm_get_unmapped_area(), to easily convert code that
refers to the old function pointer to instead select and call either
arch_get_unmapped_area() or arch_get_unmapped_area_topdown() based on the
flag. Then drop the mm->get_unmapped_area() function pointer. Leave the
get_unmapped_area() pointer in struct file_operations alone. The main
purpose of this change is to reorganize in preparation for future changes,
but it also converts the calls of mm->get_unmapped_area() from indirect
branches into a direct ones.
The stress-ng bigheap benchmark calls realloc a lot, which calls through
get_unmapped_area() in the kernel. On x86, the change yielded a ~1%
improvement there on a retpoline config.
In testing a few x86 configs, removing the pointer unfortunately didn't
result in any actual size reductions in the compiled layout of mm_struct.
But depending on compiler or arch alignment requirements, the change could
shrink the size of mm_struct.

commit fa41ba0d08 ("s390/mm: avoid empty zero pages for KVM guests to
avoid postcopy hangs") introduced an undesired side effect when combined
with memory ballooning and VM migration: memory part of the inflated
memory balloon will consume memory.
Assuming we have a 100GiB VM and inflated the balloon to 40GiB. Our VM
will consume ~60GiB of memory. If we now trigger a VM migration,
hypervisors like QEMU will read all VM memory. As s390x does not support
the shared zeropage, we'll end up allocating for all previously-inflated
memory part of the memory balloon: 50 GiB. So we might easily
(unexpectedly) crash the VM on the migration source.
Even worse, hypervisors like QEMU optimize for zeropage migration to not
consume memory on the migration destination: when migrating a
"page full of zeroes", on the migration destination they check whether the
target memory is already zero (by reading the destination memory) and avoid
writing to the memory to not allocate memory: however, s390x will also
allocate memory here, implying that also on the migration destination, we
will end up allocating all previously-inflated memory part of the memory
balloon.
This is especially bad if actual memory overcommit was not desired, when
memory ballooning is used for dynamic VM memory resizing, setting aside
some memory during boot that can be added later on demand. Alternatives
like virtio-mem that would avoid this issue are not yet available on
s390x.
There could be ways to optimize some cases in user space: before reading
memory in an anonymous private mapping on the migration source, check via
/proc/self/pagemap if anything is already populated. Similarly check on
the migration destination before reading. While that would avoid
populating tables full of shared zeropages on all architectures, it's
harder to get right and performant, and requires user space changes.
Further, with posctopy live migration we must place a page, so there,
"avoid touching memory to avoid allocating memory" is not really
possible. (Note that a previously we would have falsely inserted
shared zeropages into processes using UFFDIO_ZEROPAGE where
mm_forbids_zeropage() would have actually forbidden it)
PV is currently incompatible with memory ballooning, and in the common
case, KVM guests don't make use of storage keys. Instead of zapping
zeropages when enabling storage keys / PV, that turned out to be
problematic in the past, let's do exactly the same we do with KSM pages:
trigger unsharing faults to replace the shared zeropages by proper
anonymous folios.
What about added latency when enabling storage kes? Having a lot of
zeropages in applicable environments (PV, legacy guests, unittests) is
unexpected. Further, KSM could today already unshare the zeropages
and unmerging KSM pages when enabling storage kets would unshare the
KSM-placed zeropages in the same way, resulting in the same latency.

The uncoupling physical vs virtual address spaces brings
the following benefits to s390:
- virtual memory layout flexibility;
- closes the address gap between kernel and modules, it
caused s390-only problems in the past (e.g. 'perf' bugs);
- allows getting rid of trampolines used for module calls
into kernel;
- allows simplifying BPF trampoline;
- minor performance improvement in branch prediction;
- kernel randomization entropy is magnitude bigger, as it is
derived from the amount of available virtual, not physical
memory;
The whole change could be described in two pictures below:
before and after the change.
Some aspects of the virtual memory layout setup are not
clarified (number of page levels, alignment, DMA memory),
since these are not a part of this change or secondary
with regard to how the uncoupling itself is implemented.
The focus of the pictures is to explain why __va() and __pa()
macros are implemented the way they are.

Unused gaps in the virtual memory layout could be present
or not - depending on how partucular system is configured.
No page tables are created for the unused gaps.
The relative order of vmalloc, modules and kernel image in
virtual memory is defined by following considerations:
- start of the modules area and end of the kernel should reside
within 4GB to accommodate relative 32-bit jumps. The best way
to achieve that is to place kernel next to modules;
- vmalloc and module areas should locate next to each other
to prevent failures and extra reworks in user level tools
(makedumpfile, crash, etc.) which treat vmalloc and module
addresses similarily;
- kernel needs to be the last area in the virtual memory
layout to easily distinguish between kernel and non-kernel
virtual addresses. That is needed to (again) simplify
handling of addresses in user level tools and make __pa()
macro faster (see below);
Concluding the above, the relative order of the considered
virtual areas in memory is: vmalloc - modules - kernel.
Therefore, the only change to the current memory layout is
moving kernel to the end of virtual address space.
With that approach the implementation of __pa() macro is
straightforward - all linear virtual addresses less than
kernel base are considered identity mapping:
phys == virt - __identity_base
All addresses greater than kernel base are kernel ones:
phys == (kvirt - __kaslr_offset) + __kaslr_offset_phys
By contrast, __va() macro deals only with identity mapping
addresses:
virt == phys + __identity_base
.amode31 section is mapped separately and is not covered by
__pa() macro. In fact, it could have been handled easily by
checking whether a virtual address is within the section or
not, but there is no need for that. Thus, let __pa() code
do as little machine cycles as possible.
The KASAN shadow memory is located at the very end of the
virtual memory layout, at addresses higher than the kernel.
However, that is not a linear mapping and no code other than
KASAN instrumentation or API is expected to access it.
When KASLR mode is enabled the kernel base address randomized
within a memory window that spans whole unused virtual address
space. The size of that window depends from the amount of
physical memory available to the system, the limit imposed by
UltraVisor (if present) and the vmalloc area size as provided
by vmalloc= kernel command line parameter.
In case the virtual memory is exhausted the minimum size of
the randomization window is forcefully set to 2GB, which
amounts to in 15 bits of entropy if KASAN is enabled or 17
bits of entropy in default configuration.
The default kernel offset 0x100000 is used as a magic value
both in the decompressor code and vmlinux linker script, but
it will be removed with a follow-up change.

This is a preparatory rework to allow uncoupling virtual
and physical addresses spaces.
Currently the order of virtual memory areas is (the lowcore
and .amode31 section are skipped, as it is irrelevant):
identity mapping (the kernel is contained within)
vmemmap
vmalloc
modules
Absolute Lowcore
Real Memory Copy
In the future the kernel will be mapped separately and placed
to the end of the virtual address space, so the layout would
turn like this:
identity mapping
vmemmap
vmalloc
modules
Absolute Lowcore
Real Memory Copy
kernel
However, the distance between kernel and modules needs to be as
little as possible, ideally - none. Thus, the Absolute Lowcore
and Real Memory Copy areas would stay in the way and therefore
need to be moved as well:
identity mapping
vmemmap
Absolute Lowcore
Real Memory Copy
vmalloc
modules
kernel
To facilitate such layout swap the vmalloc and Absolute Lowcore
together with Real Memory Copy areas. As result, the current
layout turns into:
identity mapping (the kernel is contained within)
vmemmap
Absolute Lowcore
Real Memory Copy
vmalloc
modules
This will allow to locate the kernel directly next to the
modules once it gets mapped separately.

The recently added check to figure out if a fault happened on gmap ASCE
dereferences the gmap pointer in lowcore without checking that it is not
NULL. For all non-KVM processes the pointer is NULL, so that some value
from lowcore will be read. With the current layouts of struct gmap and
struct lowcore the read value (aka ASCE) is zero, so that this doesn't lead
to any observable bug; at least currently.
Fix this by adding the missing NULL pointer check.

- Various virtual vs physical address usage fixes
- Add new bitwise types and helper functions and use them in s390 specific
drivers and code to make it easier to find virtual vs physical address
usage bugs. Right now virtual and physical addresses are identical for
s390, except for module, vmalloc, and similar areas. This will be
changed, hopefully with the next merge window, so that e.g. the kernel
image and modules will be located close to each other, allowing for
direct branches and also for some other simplifications.
As a prerequisite this requires to fix all misuses of virtual and
physical addresses. As it turned out people are so used to the concept
that virtual and physical addresses are the same, that new bugs got added
to code which was already fixed. In order to avoid that even more code
gets merged which adds such bugs add and use new bitwise types, so that
sparse can be used to find such usage bugs.
Most likely the new types can go away again after some time
- Provide a simple ARCH_HAS_DEBUG_VIRTUAL implementation
- Fix kprobe branch handling: if an out-of-line single stepped relative
branch instruction has a target address within a certain address area in
the entry code, the program check handler may incorrectly execute cleanup
code as if KVM code was executed, leading to crashes
- Fix reference counting of zcrypt card objects

Merge tag 's390-6.9-2' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/s390/linux
Pull more s390 updates from Heiko Carstens:
- Various virtual vs physical address usage fixes
- Add new bitwise types and helper functions and use them in s390
specific drivers and code to make it easier to find virtual vs
physical address usage bugs.
Right now virtual and physical addresses are identical for s390,
except for module, vmalloc, and similar areas. This will be changed,
hopefully with the next merge window, so that e.g. the kernel image
and modules will be located close to each other, allowing for direct
branches and also for some other simplifications.
As a prerequisite this requires to fix all misuses of virtual and
physical addresses. As it turned out people are so used to the
concept that virtual and physical addresses are the same, that new
bugs got added to code which was already fixed. In order to avoid
that even more code gets merged which adds such bugs add and use new
bitwise types, so that sparse can be used to find such usage bugs.
Most likely the new types can go away again after some time
- Provide a simple ARCH_HAS_DEBUG_VIRTUAL implementation
- Fix kprobe branch handling: if an out-of-line single stepped relative
branch instruction has a target address within a certain address area
in the entry code, the program check handler may incorrectly execute
cleanup code as if KVM code was executed, leading to crashes
- Fix reference counting of zcrypt card objects
- Various other small fixes and cleanups

With the current implementation, there are some cornercases where
a host fault would be treated as a guest fault, for example
when the sie instruction causes a program check. Therefore store
the gmap asce in ptregs, and use that to compare the primary asce
from the fault instead of matching instruction addresses.

"implement "memmap on memory" feature on s390".
- More folio conversions from Matthew Wilcox in the series
"Convert memcontrol charge moving to use folios"
"mm: convert mm counter to take a folio"
- Chengming Zhou has optimized zswap's rbtree locking, providing
significant reductions in system time and modest but measurable
reductions in overall runtimes. The series is "mm/zswap: optimize the
scalability of zswap rb-tree".
- Chengming Zhou has also provided the series "mm/zswap: optimize zswap
lru list" which provides measurable runtime benefits in some
swap-intensive situations.
- And Chengming Zhou further optimizes zswap in the series "mm/zswap:
optimize for dynamic zswap_pools". Measured improvements are modest.
- zswap cleanups and simplifications from Yosry Ahmed in the series "mm:
zswap: simplify zswap_swapoff()".
- In the series "Add DAX ABI for memmap_on_memory", Vishal Verma has
contributed several DAX cleanups as well as adding a sysfs tunable to
control the memmap_on_memory setting when the dax device is hotplugged
as system memory.
- Johannes Weiner has added the large series "mm: zswap: cleanups",
which does that.
- More DAMON work from SeongJae Park in the series
"mm/damon: make DAMON debugfs interface deprecation unignorable"
"selftests/damon: add more tests for core functionalities and corner cases"
"Docs/mm/damon: misc readability improvements"
"mm/damon: let DAMOS feeds and tame/auto-tune itself"
- In the series "mm/mempolicy: weighted interleave mempolicy and sysfs
extension" Rakie Kim has developed a new mempolicy interleaving policy
wherein we allocate memory across nodes in a weighted fashion rather
than uniformly. This is beneficial in heterogeneous memory environments
appearing with CXL.
- Christophe Leroy has contributed some cleanup and consolidation work
against the ARM pagetable dumping code in the series "mm: ptdump:
Refactor CONFIG_DEBUG_WX and check_wx_pages debugfs attribute".
- Luis Chamberlain has added some additional xarray selftesting in the
series "test_xarray: advanced API multi-index tests".
- Muhammad Usama Anjum has reworked the selftest code to make its
human-readable output conform to the TAP ("Test Anything Protocol")
format. Amongst other things, this opens up the use of third-party
tools to parse and process out selftesting results.
- Ryan Roberts has added fork()-time PTE batching of THP ptes in the
series "mm/memory: optimize fork() with PTE-mapped THP". Mainly
targeted at arm64, this significantly speeds up fork() when the process
has a large number of pte-mapped folios.
- David Hildenbrand also gets in on the THP pte batching game in his
series "mm/memory: optimize unmap/zap with PTE-mapped THP". It
implements batching during munmap() and other pte teardown situations.
The microbenchmark improvements are nice.
- And in the series "Transparent Contiguous PTEs for User Mappings" Ryan
Roberts further utilizes arm's pte's contiguous bit ("contpte
mappings"). Kernel build times on arm64 improved nicely. Ryan's series
"Address some contpte nits" provides some followup work.
- In the series "mm/hugetlb: Restore the reservation" Breno Leitao has
fixed an obscure hugetlb race which was causing unnecessary page faults.
He has also added a reproducer under the selftest code.
- In the series "selftests/mm: Output cleanups for the compaction test",
Mark Brown did what the title claims.
- Kinsey Ho has added the series "mm/mglru: code cleanup and refactoring".
- Even more zswap material from Nhat Pham. The series "fix and extend
zswap kselftests" does as claimed.
- In the series "Introduce cpu_dcache_is_aliasing() to fix DAX
regression" Mathieu Desnoyers has cleaned up and fixed rather a mess in
our handling of DAX on archiecctures which have virtually aliasing data
caches. The arm architecture is the main beneficiary.

in his series
"page_owner: print stacks and their outstanding allocations"
"page_owner: Fixup and cleanup"

in his series "Mitigate a vmap lock contention". It realizes a 12x
improvement for a certain microbenchmark.

crash out from kexec and clean up related config items".
- Some zsmalloc maintenance work from Chengming Zhou in the series
"mm/zsmalloc: fix and optimize objects/page migration"
"mm/zsmalloc: some cleanup for get/set_zspage_mapping()"
- Zi Yan has taught the MM to perform compaction on folios larger than
order=0. This a step along the path to implementaton of the merging of
large anonymous folios. The series is named "Enable >0 order folio
memory compaction".
- Christoph Hellwig has done quite a lot of cleanup work in the
pagecache writeback code in his series "convert write_cache_pages() to
an iterator".
- Some modest hugetlb cleanups and speedups in Vishal Moola's series
"Handle hugetlb faults under the VMA lock".
- Zi Yan has changed the page splitting code so we can split huge pages
into sizes other than order-0 to better utilize large folios. The
series is named "Split a folio to any lower order folios".
- David Hildenbrand has contributed the series "mm: remove
total_mapcount()", a cleanup.
- Matthew Wilcox has sought to improve the performance of bulk memory
freeing in his series "Rearrange batched folio freeing".
- Gang Li's series "hugetlb: parallelize hugetlb page init on boot"
provides large improvements in bootup times on large machines which are
configured to use large numbers of hugetlb pages.
- Matthew Wilcox's series "PageFlags cleanups" does that.

After commit 6326c26c15 ("s390: convert various pgalloc functions to use
ptdescs"), there are still some positions that use page->{lru, index}
instead of ptdesc->{pt_list, pt_index}. In order to make the use of
ptdesc->{pt_list, pt_index} clearer, it would be better to convert them as
well.

All architectures using the core ptdump functionality also implement
CONFIG_DEBUG_WX, and they all do it more or less the same way, with a
function called debug_checkwx() that is called by mark_rodata_ro(), which
is a substitute to ptdump_check_wx() when CONFIG_DEBUG_WX is set and a
no-op otherwise.
Refactor by centrally defining debug_checkwx() in linux/ptdump.h and call
debug_checkwx() immediately after calling mark_rodata_ro() instead of
calling it at the end of every mark_rodata_ro().
On x86_32, mark_rodata_ro() first checks __supported_pte_mask has _PAGE_NX
before calling debug_checkwx(). Now the check is inside the callee
ptdump_walk_pgd_level_checkwx().
On powerpc_64, mark_rodata_ro() bails out early before calling
ptdump_check_wx() when the MMU doesn't have KERNEL_RO feature. The check
is now also done in ptdump_check_wx() as it is called outside
mark_rodata_ro().

Allocate memory map (struct pages array) from the hotplugged memory
range, rather than using system memory. The change addresses the issue
where standby memory, when configured to be much larger than online
memory, could potentially lead to ipl failure due to memory map
allocation from online memory. For example, 16MB of memory map
allocation is needed for a memory block size of 1GB and when standby
memory is configured much larger than online memory, this could lead to
ipl failure.
To address this issue, the solution involves introducing "memmap on
memory" using the vmem_altmap structure on s390. Architectures that
want to implement it should pass the altmap to the vmemmap_populate()
function and its associated callchain. This enhancement is discussed in
commit 4b94ffdc41 ("x86, mm: introduce vmem_altmap to augment
vmemmap_populate()")
Provide "memmap on memory" support for s390 by passing the altmap in
vmemmap_populate() and its callchain. The allocation path is described
as follows:
* When altmap is NULL in vmemmap_populate(), memory map allocation
occurs using the existing vmemmap_alloc_block_buf().
* When altmap is not NULL in vmemmap_populate(), memory map allocation
still uses vmemmap_alloc_block_buf(), but this function internally
calls altmap_alloc_block_buf().
For deallocation, the process is outlined as follows:
* When altmap is NULL in vmemmap_free(), memory map deallocation happens
through free_pages().
* When altmap is not NULL in vmemmap_free(), memory map deallocation
occurs via vmem_altmap_free().
While memory map allocation is primarily handled through the
self-contained memory map range, there might still be a small amount of
system memory allocation required for vmemmap pagetables. To mitigate
this impact, this feature will be limited to machines with EDAT1
support.

Stefan reported a test case fail in libc. The test runs with
randomize_va_space set to zero, i.e. disabled randomization. Additionally,
it runs the program with the dynamic loader. Looking at the failure showed
that the heap was placed right before some pages mapped from the binary.
This made memory allocation fail after a few allocations.
Normally, when address randomization is switched off and the binary is
loaded from the dynamic loader, the kernel places the binary below the
128MB top gap. So the address map would look like this:
3fff7fd1000-3fff7fd2000 r--p 00000000 5e:01 1447115 /lib/ld64.so.1
3fff7fd2000-3fff7ff2000 r-xp 00001000 5e:01 1447115 /lib/ld64.so.1
3fff7ff2000-3fff7ffc000 r--p 00021000 5e:01 1447115 /lib/ld64.so.1
3fff7ffc000-3fff7ffe000 r--p 0002a000 5e:01 1447115 /lib/ld64.so.1
3fff7ffe000-3fff8000000 rw-p 0002c000 5e:01 1447115 /lib/ld64.so.1
3fff8000000-3fff8021000 rw-p 00000000 00:00 0 [heap]
3fffffda000-3ffffffb000 rw-p 00000000 00:00 0 [stack]
3ffffffc000-3ffffffe000 r--p 00000000 00:00 0 [vvar]
3ffffffe000-40000000000 r-xp 00000000 00:00 0 [vdso]
However, commit 1f6b83e5e4 ("s390: avoid z13 cache aliasing") introduced
a mmap alignment mask of 8MB. With this commit, the memory map now
looks like this:
3fff7f80000-3fff7f81000 r--p 00000000 5e:01 1447115 /lib/ld64.so.1
3fff7f81000-3fff7fa1000 r-xp 00001000 5e:01 1447115 /lib/ld64.so.1
3fff7fa1000-3fff7fab000 r--p 00021000 5e:01 1447115 /lib/ld64.so.1
3fff7fab000-3fff7fad000 r--p 0002a000 5e:01 1447115 /lib/ld64.so.1
3fff7fad000-3fff7faf000 rw-p 0002c000 5e:01 1447115 /lib/ld64.so.1
3fff7faf000-3fff7fd0000 rw-p 00000000 00:00 0 [heap]
3fff7fdc000-3fff8000000 rw-p 00000000 00:00 0
3fffffda000-3ffffffb000 rw-p 00000000 00:00 0 [stack]
3ffffffc000-3ffffffe000 r--p 00000000 00:00 0 [vvar]
3ffffffe000-40000000000 r-xp 00000000 00:00 0 [vdso]
The reason for this placement is that the elf loader loads the binary to
end at mmap_base (0x3fff8000000 on s390). This would result in a start
address of 0x3fff7fd1000, but due to the alignment requirement of 8MB,
mmap chooses 0x3fff7f80000. This causes a gap between the end of the
mapped binary and mmap_base. When the next non-shared and non-file pages
are mapped, mmap searches from top to bottom and the first free space it
finds is the gap which is now present. This leaves only a few pages for
the heap. With enabled address space randomization this doesn't happen
because the binary is mapped to a completely different memory area.
Fix this by disabling the mmap alignment when address space randomization
is disabled. This is in line with what other architectures are doing.

turns out that after handling a major fault under per-VMA lock, the
process major fault counter does not register that fault as major. Before
[2] read faults would be done under mmap_lock, in which case
FAULT_FLAG_TRIED flag is set before retrying. That in turn causes
mm_account_fault() to account the fault as major once retry completes.
With per-VMA locks we often retry because a fault can't be handled without
locking the whole mm using mmap_lock. Therefore such retries do not set
FAULT_FLAG_TRIED flag. This logic does not work after [2] because we can
now handle read major faults under per-VMA lock and upon retry the fact
there was a major fault gets lost. Fix this by setting FAULT_FLAG_TRIED
after retrying under per-VMA lock if VM_FAULT_MAJOR was returned. Ideally
we would use an additional VM_FAULT bit to indicate the reason for the
retry (could not handle under per-VMA lock vs other reason) but this
simpler solution seems to work, so keeping it simple.

Right now it is possible to see gmap->private being zero in
kvm_s390_vsie_gmap_notifier resulting in a crash. This is due to the
fact that we add gmap->private == kvm after creation:
static int acquire_gmap_shadow(struct kvm_vcpu *vcpu,
struct vsie_page *vsie_page)
{
[...]
gmap = gmap_shadow(vcpu->arch.gmap, asce, edat);
if (IS_ERR(gmap))
return PTR_ERR(gmap);
gmap->private = vcpu->kvm;

Cease using 4KB pages to host two 2KB PTEs. That greatly
simplifies the memory management code at the expense of
page tables memory footprint.
Instead of two PTEs per 4KB page use only upper half of
the parent page for a single PTE. With that the list of
half-used pages pgtable_list becomes unneeded.
Further, the upper byte of the parent page _refcount
counter does not need to be used for fragments tracking
and could be left alone.
Commit 8211dad627 ("s390: add pte_free_defer() for
pgtables sharing page") introduced the use of PageActive
flag to coordinate a deferred free with 2KB page table
fragments tracking. Since there is no tracking anymore,
there is no need for using PageActive flag.

Rework the way physical pages are set no-dat / dat:
The old way is:
- Rely on that all pages are initially marked "dat"
- Allocate page tables for the kernel mapping
- Enable dat
- Walk the whole kernel mapping and set PG_arch_1 bit in all struct pages
that belong to pages of kernel page tables
- Walk all struct pages and test and clear the PG_arch_1 bit. If the bit is
not set, set the page state to no-dat
- For all subsequent page table allocations, set the page state to dat
(remove the no-dat state) on allocation time
Change this rather complex logic to a simpler approach:
- Set the whole physical memory (all pages) to "no-dat"
- Explicitly set those page table pages to "dat" which are part of the
kernel image (e.g. swapper_pg_dir)
- For all subsequent page table allocations, set the page state to dat
(remove the no-dat state) on allocation time
In result the code is simpler, and this also allows to get rid of one
odd usage of the PG_arch_1 bit.

In order to be usable for early boot code move the simple

arch_set_page_nodat(). Also change the parameters, and the function name
slightly.
This is required since there aren't any struct pages available in early
boot code, and renaming of functions is done to make sure that all users
are converted to the new API.
Instead of a pointer to a struct page a virtual address is passed, and
instead of an order the number of pages for which the page state needs be

To help make the move of sysctls out of kernel/sysctl.c not incur a size
penalty sysctl has been changed to allow us to not require the sentinel, the
final empty element on the sysctl array. Joel Granados has been doing all this
work. On the v6.6 kernel we got the major infrastructure changes required to
support this. For v6.7-rc1 we have all arch/ and drivers/ modified to remove
the sentinel. Both arch and driver changes have been on linux-next for a bit
less than a month. It is worth re-iterating the value:
- this helps reduce the overall build time size of the kernel and run time
memory consumed by the kernel by about ~64 bytes per array
- the extra 64-byte penalty is no longer inncurred now when we move sysctls
out from kernel/sysctl.c to their own files
For v6.8-rc1 expect removal of all the sentinels and also then the unneeded
check for procname == NULL.
The last 2 patches are fixes recently merged by Krister Johansen which allow
us again to use softlockup_panic early on boot. This used to work but the
alias work broke it. This is useful for folks who want to detect softlockups
super early rather than wait and spend money on cloud solutions with nothing
but an eventual hung kernel. Although this hadn't gone through linux-next it's
also a stable fix, so we might as well roll through the fixes now.

If the cmma no-dat feature is available the kernel page tables are walked
to identify and mark all pages which are used for address translation (all
region, segment, and page tables). In a subsequent loop all other pages are
marked as "no-dat" pages with the ESSA instruction.
This information is visible to the hypervisor, so that the hypervisor can
optimize purging of guest TLB entries. All pages used for swapper_pg_dir
and invalid_pg_dir are incorrectly marked as no-dat, which in turn can
result in incorrect guest TLB flushes.
Fix this by marking those pages correctly as being used for DAT.
