Use a folio in change_pte_range() to save three compound_head() calls.
Since now only normal and PMD-mapped page is handled by numa balancing,
it is enough to only update the entire folio's access time.

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().

When mprotect() is used to make unwritable VMAs writable, they have the
VM_ACCOUNT flag applied and memory accounted accordingly.
If the VMA has had no pages faulted in and is then made unwritable once
again, it will remain accounted for, despite not being capable of
extending memory usage.
Consider:-
ptr = mmap(NULL, page_size * 3, PROT_READ, MAP_ANON | MAP_PRIVATE, -1, 0);
mprotect(ptr + page_size, page_size, PROT_READ | PROT_WRITE);
mprotect(ptr + page_size, page_size, PROT_READ);
The first mprotect() splits the range into 3 VMAs and the second fails to
merge the three as the middle VMA has VM_ACCOUNT set and the others do
not, rendering them unmergeable.
This is unnecessary, since no pages have actually been allocated and the
middle VMA is not capable of utilising more memory, thereby introducing
unnecessary VMA fragmentation (and accounting for more memory than is
necessary).
Since we cannot efficiently determine which pages map to an anonymous VMA,
we have to be very conservative - determining whether any pages at all
have been faulted in, by checking whether vma->anon_vma is NULL.
We can see that the lack of anon_vma implies that no anonymous pages are
present as evidenced by vma_needs_copy() utilising this on fork to
determine whether page tables need to be copied.
The only place where anon_vma is set NULL explicitly is on fork with
VM_WIPEONFORK set, however since this flag is intended to cause the child
process to not CoW on a given memory range, it is right to interpret this
as indicating the VMA has no faulted-in anonymous memory mapped.
If the VMA was forked without VM_WIPEONFORK set, then anon_vma_fork() will
have ensured that a new anon_vma is assigned (and correctly related to its
parent anon_vma) should any pages be CoW-mapped.
The overall operation is safe against races as we hold a write lock against
mm->mmap_lock.
If we could efficiently look up the VMA's faulted-in pages then we would
unaccount all those pages not yet faulted in. However as the original
comment alludes this simply isn't currently possible, so we are
conservative and account all pages or none at all.

Pull x86 shadow stack support from Dave Hansen:
"This is the long awaited x86 shadow stack support, part of Intel's
Control-flow Enforcement Technology (CET).
CET consists of two related security features: shadow stacks and
indirect branch tracking. This series implements just the shadow stack
part of this feature, and just for userspace.
The main use case for shadow stack is providing protection against
return oriented programming attacks. It works by maintaining a
secondary (shadow) stack using a special memory type that has
protections against modification. When executing a CALL instruction,
the processor pushes the return address to both the normal stack and
to the special permission shadow stack. Upon RET, the processor pops
the shadow stack copy and compares it to the normal stack copy.
For more information, refer to the links below for the earlier
versions of this patch set"

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.

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.

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.

The x86 Shadow stack feature includes a new type of memory called shadow
stack. This shadow stack memory has some unusual properties, which requires
some core mm changes to function properly.
One of these unusual properties is that shadow stack memory is writable,
but only in limited ways. These limits are applied via a specific PTE
bit combination. Nevertheless, the memory is writable, and core mm code
will need to apply the writable permissions in the typical paths that
call pte_mkwrite(). Future patches will make pte_mkwrite() take a VMA, so
that the x86 implementation of it can know whether to create regular
writable or shadow stack mappings.
But there are a couple of challenges to this. Modifying the signatures of
each arch pte_mkwrite() implementation would be error prone because some
are generated with macros and would need to be re-implemented. Also, some
pte_mkwrite() callers operate on kernel memory without a VMA.
So this can be done in a three step process. First pte_mkwrite() can be
renamed to pte_mkwrite_novma() in each arch, with a generic pte_mkwrite()
added that just calls pte_mkwrite_novma(). Next callers without a VMA can
be moved to pte_mkwrite_novma(). And lastly, pte_mkwrite() and all callers
can be changed to take/pass a VMA.
Previous work pte_mkwrite() renamed pte_mkwrite_novma() and converted
callers that don't have a VMA were to use pte_mkwrite_novma(). So now
change pte_mkwrite() to take a VMA and change the remaining callers to
pass a VMA. Apply the same changes for pmd_mkwrite().
No functional change.

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.

Patch series "mm: allow pte_offset_map[_lock]() to fail", v2.
What is it all about? Some mmap_lock avoidance i.e. latency reduction.
Initially just for the case of collapsing shmem or file pages to THPs; but
likely to be relied upon later in other contexts e.g. freeing of empty
page tables (but that's not work I'm doing). mmap_write_lock avoidance
when collapsing to anon THPs? Perhaps, but again that's not work I've
done: a quick attempt was not as easy as the shmem/file case.
I would much prefer not to have to make these small but wide-ranging
changes for such a niche case; but failed to find another way, and have
heard that shmem MADV_COLLAPSE's usefulness is being limited by that
mmap_write_lock it currently requires.
These changes (though of course not these exact patches) have been in
Google's data centre kernel for three years now: we do rely upon them.
What is this preparatory series about?
The current mmap locking will not be enough to guard against that tricky
transition between pmd entry pointing to page table, and empty pmd entry,
and pmd entry pointing to huge page: pte_offset_map() will have to
validate the pmd entry for itself, returning NULL if no page table is
there. What to do about that varies: sometimes nearby error handling
indicates just to skip it; but in many cases an ACTION_AGAIN or "goto
again" is appropriate (and if that risks an infinite loop, then there must
have been an oops, or pfn 0 mistaken for page table, before).
Given the likely extension to freeing empty page tables, I have not
limited this set of changes to a THP config; and it has been easier, and
sets a better example, if each site is given appropriate handling: even
where deeper study might prove that failure could only happen if the pmd
table were corrupted.
Several of the patches are, or include, cleanup on the way; and by the
end, pmd_trans_unstable() and suchlike are deleted: pte_offset_map() and
pte_offset_map_lock() then handle those original races and more. Most
uses of pte_lockptr() are deprecated, with pte_offset_map_nolock() taking
its place.
This patch (of 32):
Use pmdp_get_lockless() in preference to READ_ONCE(*pmdp), to get a more
reliable result with PAE (or READ_ONCE as before without PAE); and remove
the unnecessary extra barrier()s which got left behind in its callers.
HOWEVER: Note the small print in linux/pgtable.h, where it was designed
specifically for fast GUP, and depends on interrupts being disabled for
its full guarantee: most callers which have been added (here and before)
do NOT have interrupts disabled, so there is still some need for caution.

If we end up with a writable migration entry that has the uffd-wp bit set,
we already messed up: the source PTE/PMD was writable, which means we
could have modified the page without notifying uffd first. Setting the
uffd-wp bit always implies converting migration entries to !writable
migration entries.
Commit 8f34f1eac3 ("mm/userfaultfd: fix uffd-wp special cases for
fork()") documents that "3. Forget to carry over uffd-wp bit for a write
migration huge pmd entry", but it doesn't really say why that should be
relevant.
So let's remove that code to avoid hiding an eventual underlying issue (in
the future, we might want to warn when creating writable migration entries
that have the uffd-wp bit set -- or even better when turning a PTE
writable that still has the uffd-wp bit set).
This now matches the handling for hugetlb migration entries in
hugetlb_change_protection().
In copy_huge_pmd()/copy_nonpresent_pte()/copy_hugetlb_page_range(), we
still transfer the uffd-bit also for writable migration entries, but
simply because we have unified handling for "writable" and
"readable-exclusive" migration entries, and we care about transferring the
uffd-wp bit for the latter.

Patch series "mm/uffd: Add feature bit UFFD_FEATURE_WP_UNPOPULATED", v4.
The new feature bit makes anonymous memory acts the same as file memory on
userfaultfd-wp in that it'll also wr-protect none ptes.
It can be useful in two cases:
(1) Uffd-wp app that needs to wr-protect none ptes like QEMU snapshot,
so pre-fault can be replaced by enabling this flag and speed up
protections
(2) It helps to implement async uffd-wp mode that Muhammad is working on [1]
It's debatable whether this is the most ideal solution because with the
new feature bit set, wr-protect none pte needs to pre-populate the
pgtables to the last level (PAGE_SIZE). But it seems fine so far to
service either purpose above, so we can leave optimizations for later.
The series brings pte markers to anonymous memory too. There's some
change in the common mm code path in the 1st patch, great to have some eye
looking at it, but hopefully they're still relatively straightforward.
This patch (of 2):
This is a new feature that controls how uffd-wp handles none ptes. When
it's set, the kernel will handle anonymous memory the same way as file
memory, by allowing the user to wr-protect unpopulated ptes.
File memories handles none ptes consistently by allowing wr-protecting of
none ptes because of the unawareness of page cache being exist or not.
For anonymous it was not as persistent because we used to assume that we
don't need protections on none ptes or known zero pages.
One use case of such a feature bit was VM live snapshot, where if without
wr-protecting empty ptes the snapshot can contain random rubbish in the
holes of the anonymous memory, which can cause misbehave of the guest when
the guest OS assumes the pages should be all zeros.
QEMU worked it around by pre-populate the section with reads to fill in
zero page entries before starting the whole snapshot process [1].
Recently there's another need raised on using userfaultfd wr-protect for
detecting dirty pages (to replace soft-dirty in some cases) [2]. In that
case if without being able to wr-protect none ptes by default, the dirty
info can get lost, since we cannot treat every none pte to be dirty (the
current design is identify a page dirty based on uffd-wp bit being
cleared).
In general, we want to be able to wr-protect empty ptes too even for
anonymous.
This patch implements UFFD_FEATURE_WP_UNPOPULATED so that it'll make
uffd-wp handling on none ptes being consistent no matter what the memory
type is underneath. It doesn't have any impact on file memories so far
because we already have pte markers taking care of that. So it only
affects anonymous.
The feature bit is by default off, so the old behavior will be maintained.
Sometimes it may be wanted because the wr-protect of none ptes will
contain overheads not only during UFFDIO_WRITEPROTECT (by applying pte
markers to anonymous), but also on creating the pgtables to store the pte
markers. So there's potentially less chance of using thp on the first
fault for a none pmd or larger than a pmd.
The major implementation part is teaching the whole kernel to understand
pte markers even for anonymously mapped ranges, meanwhile allowing the
UFFDIO_WRITEPROTECT ioctl to apply pte markers for anonymous too when the
new feature bit is set.
Note that even if the patch subject starts with mm/uffd, there're a few
small refactors to major mm path of handling anonymous page faults. But
they should be straightforward.
With WP_UNPOPUATED, application like QEMU can avoid pre-read faults all
the memory before wr-protect during taking a live snapshot. Quotting from
Muhammad's test result here [3] based on a simple program [4]:
(1) With huge page disabled
echo madvise > /sys/kernel/mm/transparent_hugepage/enabled
./uffd_wp_perf
Test DEFAULT: 4
Test PRE-READ: 1111453 (pre-fault 1101011)
Test MADVISE: 278276 (pre-fault 266378)
Test WP-UNPOPULATE: 11712
(2) With Huge page enabled
echo always > /sys/kernel/mm/transparent_hugepage/enabled
./uffd_wp_perf
Test DEFAULT: 4
Test PRE-READ: 22521 (pre-fault 22348)
Test MADVISE: 4909 (pre-fault 4743)
Test WP-UNPOPULATE: 14448
There'll be a great perf boost for no-thp case, while for thp enabled with
extreme case of all-thp-zero WP_UNPOPULATED can be slower than MADVISE,
but that's low possibility in reality, also the overhead was not reduced
but postponed until a follow up write on any huge zero thp, so potentially
it is faster by making the follow up writes slower.

Patch series "mm: In-kernel support for memory-deny-write-execute (MDWE)",
v2.
The background to this is that systemd has a configuration option called
MemoryDenyWriteExecute [2], implemented as a SECCOMP BPF filter. Its aim
is to prevent a user task from inadvertently creating an executable
mapping that is (or was) writeable. Since such BPF filter is stateless,
it cannot detect mappings that were previously writeable but subsequently
changed to read-only. Therefore the filter simply rejects any
mprotect(PROT_EXEC). The side-effect is that on arm64 with BTI support
(Branch Target Identification), the dynamic loader cannot change an ELF
section from PROT_EXEC to PROT_EXEC|PROT_BTI using mprotect(). For
libraries, it can resort to unmapping and re-mapping but for the main
executable it does not have a file descriptor. The original bug report in
the Red Hat bugzilla - [3] - and subsequent glibc workaround for libraries
- [4].
This series adds in-kernel support for this feature as a prctl
PR_SET_MDWE, that is inherited on fork(). The prctl denies PROT_WRITE |
PROT_EXEC mappings. Like the systemd BPF filter it also denies adding
PROT_EXEC to mappings. However unlike the BPF filter it only denies it if
the mapping didn't previous have PROT_EXEC. This allows to PROT_EXEC ->
PROT_EXEC | PROT_BTI with mprotect(), which is a problem with the BPF
filter.
This patch (of 2):
The aim of such policy is to prevent a user task from creating an
executable mapping that is also writeable.
An example of mmap() returning -EACCESS if the policy is enabled:
mmap(0, size, PROT_READ | PROT_WRITE | PROT_EXEC, flags, 0, 0);
Similarly, mprotect() would return -EACCESS below:
addr = mmap(0, size, PROT_READ | PROT_EXEC, flags, 0, 0);
mprotect(addr, size, PROT_READ | PROT_WRITE | PROT_EXEC);
The BPF filter that systemd MDWE uses is stateless, and disallows
mprotect() with PROT_EXEC completely. This new prctl allows PROT_EXEC to
be enabled if it was already PROT_EXEC, which allows the following case:
addr = mmap(0, size, PROT_READ | PROT_EXEC, flags, 0, 0);
mprotect(addr, size, PROT_READ | PROT_EXEC | PROT_BTI);
where PROT_BTI enables branch tracking identification on arm64.

Before this patch, when there's any pgtable allocation issues happened
during change_protection(), the error will be ignored from the syscall.
For shmem, there will be an error dumped into the host dmesg. Two issues
with that:
(1) Doing a trace dump when allocation fails is not anything close to
grace.
(2) The user should be notified with any kind of such error, so the user
can trap it and decide what to do next, either by retrying, or stop
the process properly, or anything else.
For userfault users, this will change the API of UFFDIO_WRITEPROTECT when
pgtable allocation failure happened. It should not normally break anyone,
though. If it breaks, then in good ways.
One man-page update will be on the way to introduce the new -ENOMEM for
UFFDIO_WRITEPROTECT. Not marking stable so we keep the old behavior on
the 5.19-till-now kernels.

Switch to use type "long" for page accountings and retval across the whole
procedure of change_protection().
The change should have shrinked the possible maximum page number to be
half comparing to previous (ULONG_MAX / 2), but it shouldn't overflow on
any system either because the maximum possible pages touched by change
protection should be ULONG_MAX / PAGE_SIZE.
Two reasons to switch from "unsigned long" to "long":
1. It suites better on count_vm_numa_events(), whose 2nd parameter takes
a long type.
2. It paves way for returning negative (error) values in the future.
Currently the only caller that consumes this retval is change_prot_numa(),
where the unsigned long was converted to an int. Since at it, touching up
the numa code to also take a long, so it'll avoid any possible overflow
too during the int-size convertion.

Only PROT_NUMA is special: there is no way we can erroneously allow

This patch is a cleanup to always wr-protect pte/pmd in mkuffd_wp paths.
The reasons I still think this patch is worthwhile, are:
(1) It is a cleanup already; diffstat tells.
(2) It just feels natural after I thought about this, if the pte is uffd
protected, let's remove the write bit no matter what it was.
(2) Since x86 is the only arch that supports uffd-wp, it also redefines
pte|pmd_mkuffd_wp() in that it should always contain removals of
write bits. It means any future arch that want to implement uffd-wp
should naturally follow this rule too. It's good to make it a
default, even if with vm_page_prot changes on VM_UFFD_WP.
(3) It covers more than vm_page_prot. So no chance of any potential
future "accident" (like pte_mkdirty() sparc64 or loongarch, even
though it just got its pte_mkdirty fixed <1 month ago). It'll be
fairly clear when reading the code too that we don't worry anything
before a pte_mkuffd_wp() on uncertainty of the write bit.
We may call pte_wrprotect() one more time in some paths (e.g. thp split),
but that should be fully local bitop instruction so the overhead should be
negligible.
Although this patch should logically also fix all the known issues on
uffd-wp too recently on page migration (not for numa hint recovery - that
may need another explcit pte_wrprotect), but this is not the plan for that
fix. So no fixes, and stable doesn't need this.

This patch should harden commit 15520a3f04 ("mm: use pte markers for
swap errors") on using pte markers for swapin errors on a few corner
cases.
1. Propagate swapin errors across fork()s: if there're swapin errors in
the parent mm, after fork()s the child should sigbus too when an error
page is accessed.
2. Fix a rare condition race in pte_marker_clear() where a uffd-wp pte
marker can be quickly switched to a swapin error.
3. Explicitly ignore swapin error pte markers in change_protection().
I mostly don't worry on (2) or (3) at all, but we should still have them.
Case (1) is special because it can potentially cause silent data corrupt
on child when parent has swapin error triggered with swapoff, but since
swapin error is rare itself already it's probably not easy to trigger
either.
Currently there is a priority difference between the uffd-wp bit and the
swapin error entry, in which the swapin error always has higher priority
(e.g. we don't need to wr-protect a swapin error pte marker).
If there will be a 3rd bit introduced, we'll probably need to consider a
more involved approach so we may need to start operate on the bits. Let's
leave that for later.
This patch is tested with case (1) explicitly where we'll get corrupted
data before in the child if there's existing swapin error pte markers, and
after patch applied the child can be rightfully killed.
We don't need to copy stable for this one since 15520a3f04 just landed
as part of v6.2-rc1, only "Fixes" applied.

commit b191f9b106 ("mm: numa: preserve PTE write permissions across a
NUMA hinting fault") added remembering write permissions using ordinary
pte_write() for PROT_NONE mapped pages to avoid write faults when
remapping the page !PROT_NONE on NUMA hinting faults.
That commit noted:
The patch looks hacky but the alternatives looked worse. The tidest was
to rewalk the page tables after a hinting fault but it was more complex
than this approach and the performance was worse. It's not generally
safe to just mark the page writable during the fault if it's a write
fault as it may have been read-only for COW so that approach was
discarded.
Later, commit 288bc54949 ("mm/autonuma: let architecture override how
the write bit should be stashed in a protnone pte.") introduced a family
of savedwrite PTE functions that didn't necessarily improve the whole
situation.
One confusing thing is that nowadays, if a page is pte_protnone()
and pte_savedwrite() then also pte_write() is true. Another source of
confusion is that there is only a single pte_mk_savedwrite() call in the
kernel. All other write-protection code seems to silently rely on
pte_wrprotect().
Ever since PageAnonExclusive was introduced and we started using it in
mprotect context via commit 64fe24a3e0 ("mm/mprotect: try avoiding write
faults for exclusive anonymous pages when changing protection"), we do
have machinery in place to avoid write faults when changing protection,
which is exactly what we want to do here.
Let's similarly do what ordinary mprotect() does nowadays when upgrading
write permissions and reuse can_change_pte_writable() and
can_change_pmd_writable() to detect if we can upgrade PTE permissions to be
writable.
For anonymous pages there should be absolutely no change: if an
anonymous page is not exclusive, it could not have been mapped writable --
because only exclusive anonymous pages can be mapped writable.
However, there *might* be a change for writable shared mappings that
require writenotify: if they are not dirty, we cannot map them writable.
While it might not matter in practice, we'd need a different way to
identify whether writenotify is actually required -- and ordinary mprotect
would benefit from that as well.
Note that we don't optimize for the actual migration case:
(1) When migration succeeds the new PTE will not be writable because the
source PTE was not writable (protnone); in the future we
might just optimize that case similarly by reusing
can_change_pte_writable()/can_change_pmd_writable() when removing
migration PTEs.
(2) When migration fails, we'd have to recalculate the "writable" flag
because we temporarily dropped the PT lock; for now keep it simple and
set "writable=false".
We'll remove all savedwrite leftovers next.

Patch series "mm/autonuma: replace savedwrite infrastructure", v2.
As discussed in my talk at LPC, we can reuse the same mechanism for
deciding whether to map a pte writable when upgrading permissions via
mprotect() -- e.g., PROT_READ -> PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE -- to replace the
savedwrite infrastructure used for NUMA hinting faults (e.g., PROT_NONE ->
PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE).
Instead of maintaining previous write permissions for a pte/pmd, we
re-determine if the pte/pmd can be writable. The big benefit is that we
have a common logic for deciding whether we can map a pte/pmd writable on
protection changes.
For private mappings, there should be no difference -- from what I
understand, that is what autonuma benchmarks care about.
I ran autonumabench for v1 on a system with 2 NUMA nodes, 96 GiB each via:
perf stat --null --repeat 10
The numa01 benchmark is quite noisy in my environment and I failed to
reduce the noise so far.
numa01:
mm-unstable: 146.88 +- 6.54 seconds time elapsed ( +- 4.45% )
mm-unstable++: 147.45 +- 13.39 seconds time elapsed ( +- 9.08% )
numa02:
mm-unstable: 16.0300 +- 0.0624 seconds time elapsed ( +- 0.39% )
mm-unstable++: 16.1281 +- 0.0945 seconds time elapsed ( +- 0.59% )
It is worth noting that for shared writable mappings that require
writenotify, we will only avoid write faults if the pte/pmd is dirty
(inherited from the older mprotect logic). If we ever care about
optimizing that further, we'd need a different mechanism to identify
whether the FS still needs to get notified on the next write access.
In any case, such an optimization will then not be autonuma-specific, but
mprotect() permission upgrades would similarly benefit from it.
This patch (of 7):
Anonymous pages might have the dirty bit clear, but this should not
prevent mprotect from making them writable if they are exclusive.
Therefore, skip the test whether the page is dirty in this case.
Note that there are already other ways to get a writable PTE mapping an
anonymous page that is clean: for example, via MADV_FREE. In an ideal
world, we'd have a different indication from the FS whether writenotify is
still required.

Patch series "memory tiering: hot page selection", v4.
To optimize page placement in a memory tiering system with NUMA balancing,
the hot pages in the slow memory nodes need to be identified.
Essentially, the original NUMA balancing implementation selects the mostly
recently accessed (MRU) pages to promote. But this isn't a perfect
algorithm to identify the hot pages. Because the pages with quite low
access frequency may be accessed eventually given the NUMA balancing page
table scanning period could be quite long (e.g. 60 seconds). So in this
patchset, we implement a new hot page identification algorithm based on
the latency between NUMA balancing page table scanning and hint page
fault. Which is a kind of mostly frequently accessed (MFU) algorithm.
In NUMA balancing memory tiering mode, if there are hot pages in slow
memory node and cold pages in fast memory node, we need to promote/demote
hot/cold pages between the fast and cold memory nodes.
A choice is to promote/demote as fast as possible. But the CPU cycles and
memory bandwidth consumed by the high promoting/demoting throughput will
hurt the latency of some workload because of accessing inflating and slow
memory bandwidth contention.
A way to resolve this issue is to restrict the max promoting/demoting
throughput. It will take longer to finish the promoting/demoting. But
the workload latency will be better. This is implemented in this patchset
as the page promotion rate limit mechanism.
The promotion hot threshold is workload and system configuration
dependent. So in this patchset, a method to adjust the hot threshold
automatically is implemented. The basic idea is to control the number of
the candidate promotion pages to match the promotion rate limit.
We used the pmbench memory accessing benchmark tested the patchset on a
2-socket server system with DRAM and PMEM installed. The test results are
as follows,
pmbench score promote rate
(accesses/s) MB/s
------------- ------------
base 146887704.1 725.6
hot selection 165695601.2 544.0
rate limit 162814569.8 165.2
auto adjustment 170495294.0 136.9
From the results above,
With hot page selection patch [1/3], the pmbench score increases about
12.8%, and promote rate (overhead) decreases about 25.0%, compared with
base kernel.
With rate limit patch [2/3], pmbench score decreases about 1.7%, and
promote rate decreases about 69.6%, compared with hot page selection
patch.
With threshold auto adjustment patch [3/3], pmbench score increases about
4.7%, and promote rate decrease about 17.1%, compared with rate limit
patch.
Baolin helped to test the patchset with MySQL on a machine which contains
1 DRAM node (30G) and 1 PMEM node (126G).
sysbench /usr/share/sysbench/oltp_read_write.lua \
......
--tables=200 \
--table-size=1000000 \
--report-interval=10 \
--threads=16 \
--time=120
The tps can be improved about 5%.
This patch (of 3):
To optimize page placement in a memory tiering system with NUMA balancing,
the hot pages in the slow memory node need to be identified. Essentially,
the original NUMA balancing implementation selects the mostly recently
accessed (MRU) pages to promote. But this isn't a perfect algorithm to
identify the hot pages. Because the pages with quite low access frequency
may be accessed eventually given the NUMA balancing page table scanning
period could be quite long (e.g. 60 seconds). The most frequently
accessed (MFU) algorithm is better.
So, in this patch we implemented a better hot page selection algorithm.
Which is based on NUMA balancing page table scanning and hint page fault
as follows,
- When the page tables of the processes are scanned to change PTE/PMD
to be PROT_NONE, the current time is recorded in struct page as scan
time.
- When the page is accessed, hint page fault will occur. The scan
time is gotten from the struct page. And The hint page fault
latency is defined as
hint page fault time - scan time
The shorter the hint page fault latency of a page is, the higher the
probability of their access frequency to be higher. So the hint page
fault latency is a better estimation of the page hot/cold.
It's hard to find some extra space in struct page to hold the scan time.
Fortunately, we can reuse some bits used by the original NUMA balancing.
NUMA balancing uses some bits in struct page to store the page accessing
CPU and PID (referring to page_cpupid_xchg_last()). Which is used by the
multi-stage node selection algorithm to avoid to migrate pages shared
accessed by the NUMA nodes back and forth. But for pages in the slow
memory node, even if they are shared accessed by multiple NUMA nodes, as
long as the pages are hot, they need to be promoted to the fast memory
node. So the accessing CPU and PID information are unnecessary for the
slow memory pages. We can reuse these bits in struct page to record the
scan time. For the fast memory pages, these bits are used as before.
For the hot threshold, the default value is 1 second, which works well in
our performance test. All pages with hint page fault latency < hot
threshold will be considered hot.
It's hard for users to determine the hot threshold. So we don't provide a
kernel ABI to set it, just provide a debugfs interface for advanced users
to experiment. We will continue to work on a hot threshold automatic
adjustment mechanism.
The downside of the above method is that the response time to the workload
hot spot changing may be much longer. For example,
- A previous cold memory area becomes hot
- The hint page fault will be triggered. But the hint page fault
latency isn't shorter than the hot threshold. So the pages will
not be promoted.
- When the memory area is scanned again, maybe after a scan period,
the hint page fault latency measured will be shorter than the hot
threshold and the pages will be promoted.
To mitigate this, if there are enough free space in the fast memory node,
the hot threshold will not be used, all pages will be promoted upon the
hint page fault for fast response.
Thanks Zhong Jiang reported and tested the fix for a bug when disabling
memory tiering mode dynamically.

Patch series "mm/mprotect: Fix soft-dirty checks", v4.
This patch (of 3):
The check wanted to make sure when soft-dirty tracking is enabled we won't
grant write bit by accident, as a page fault is needed for dirty tracking.
The intention is correct but we didn't check it right because
VM_SOFTDIRTY set actually means soft-dirty tracking disabled. Fix it.
There's another thing tricky about soft-dirty is that, we can't check the
vma flag !(vma_flags & VM_SOFTDIRTY) directly but only check it after we
checked CONFIG_MEM_SOFT_DIRTY because otherwise VM_SOFTDIRTY will be
defined as zero, and !(vma_flags & VM_SOFTDIRTY) will constantly return
true. To avoid misuse, introduce a helper for checking whether vma has
soft-dirty tracking enabled.
We can easily verify this with any exclusive anonymous page, like program

Here we attach a Fixes to commit 64fe24a3e0 only for easy tracking, as
this patch won't apply to a tree before that point. However the commit
wasn't the source of problem, but instead 64e455079e. It's just that
after 64fe24a3e0 anonymous memory will also suffer from this problem
with mprotect().

The variable error will be assigned correctly before it is used, the
initialization is redundant, so remove it.

With DEVICE_COHERENT, we'll soon have vm_normal_pages() return
device-managed anonymous pages that are not LRU pages. Although they
behave like normal pages for purposes of mapping in CPU page, and for COW.
They do not support LRU lists, NUMA migration or THP.
Callers to follow_page() currently don't expect ZONE_DEVICE pages,
however, with DEVICE_COHERENT we might now return ZONE_DEVICE. Check for
ZONE_DEVICE pages in applicable users of follow_page() as well.

Similar to our MM_CP_DIRTY_ACCT handling for shared, writable mappings, we
can try mapping anonymous pages in a private writable mapping writable if
they are exclusive, the PTE is already dirty, and no special handling
applies. Mapping the anonymous page writable is essentially the same
thing the write fault handler would do in this case.
Special handling is required for uffd-wp and softdirty tracking, so take
care of that properly. Also, leave PROT_NONE handling alone for now; in
the future, we could similarly extend the logic in do_numa_page() or use
pte_mk_savedwrite() here.
While this improves mprotect(PROT_READ)+mprotect(PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE)
performance, it should also be a valuable optimization for uffd-wp, when
un-protecting.
This has been previously suggested by Peter Collingbourne in [1], relevant
in the context of the Scudo memory allocator, before we had
PageAnonExclusive.
This commit doesn't add the same handling for PMDs (i.e., anonymous THP,
anonymous hugetlb); benchmark results from Andrea indicate that there are
minor performance gains, so it's might still be valuable to streamline
that logic for all anonymous pages in the future.
As we now also set MM_CP_DIRTY_ACCT for private mappings, let's rename it
to MM_CP_TRY_CHANGE_WRITABLE, to make it clearer what's actually
happening.

This starts from passing cp_flags into hugetlb_change_protection() so
hugetlb will be able to handle MM_CP_UFFD_WP[_RESOLVE] requests.
huge_pte_clear_uffd_wp() is introduced to handle the case where the
UFFDIO_WRITEPROTECT is requested upon migrating huge page entries.
