Nicholas Piggin 13224794cb mm: remove quicklist page table caches
Patch series "mm: remove quicklist page table caches".

A while ago Nicholas proposed to remove quicklist page table caches [1].

I've rebased his patch on the curren upstream and switched ia64 and sh to
use generic versions of PTE allocation.

[1] https://lore.kernel.org/linux-mm/20190711030339.20892-1-npiggin@gmail.com

This patch (of 3):

Remove page table allocator "quicklists".  These have been around for a
long time, but have not got much traction in the last decade and are only
used on ia64 and sh architectures.

The numbers in the initial commit look interesting but probably don't
apply anymore.  If anybody wants to resurrect this it's in the git
history, but it's unhelpful to have this code and divergent allocator
behaviour for minor archs.

Also it might be better to instead make more general improvements to page
allocator if this is still so slow.

Yang Shi 7a30df49f6 mm: mmu_gather: remove __tlb_reset_range() for force flush
A few new fields were added to mmu_gather to make TLB flush smarter for
huge page by telling what level of page table is changed.

__tlb_reset_range() is used to reset all these page table state to
unchanged, which is called by TLB flush for parallel mapping changes for
the same range under non-exclusive lock (i.e.  read mmap_sem).

Before commit dd2283f260 ("mm: mmap: zap pages with read mmap_sem in
munmap"), the syscalls (e.g.  MADV_DONTNEED, MADV_FREE) which may update
PTEs in parallel don't remove page tables.  But, the forementioned
commit may do munmap() under read mmap_sem and free page tables.  This
may result in program hang on aarch64 reported by Jan Stancek.  The
problem could be reproduced by his test program with slightly modified
below.

---8<---

static int map_size = 4096;
static int num_iter = 500;
static long threads_total;

static void *distant_area;

void *map_write_unmap(void *ptr)
{
	int *fd = ptr;
	unsigned char *map_address;
	int i, j = 0;

	for (i = 0; i < num_iter; i++) {
		map_address = mmap(distant_area, (size_t) map_size, PROT_WRITE | PROT_READ,
			MAP_SHARED | MAP_ANONYMOUS, -1, 0);
		if (map_address == MAP_FAILED) {
			perror("mmap");
			exit(1);
		}

		for (j = 0; j < map_size; j++)
			map_address[j] = 'b';

		if (munmap(map_address, map_size) == -1) {
			perror("munmap");
			exit(1);
		}
	}

	return NULL;
}

void *dummy(void *ptr)
{
	return NULL;
}

int main(void)
{
	pthread_t thid[2];

	/* hint for mmap in map_write_unmap() */
	distant_area = mmap(0, DISTANT_MMAP_SIZE, PROT_WRITE | PROT_READ,
			MAP_ANONYMOUS | MAP_PRIVATE, -1, 0);
	munmap(distant_area, (size_t)DISTANT_MMAP_SIZE);
	distant_area += DISTANT_MMAP_SIZE / 2;

	while (1) {
		pthread_create(&thid[0], NULL, map_write_unmap, NULL);
		pthread_create(&thid[1], NULL, dummy, NULL);

		pthread_join(thid[0], NULL);
		pthread_join(thid[1], NULL);
	}
}

The program may bring in parallel execution like below:

        t1                                        t2
munmap(map_address)
  downgrade_write(&mm->mmap_sem);
  unmap_region()
  tlb_gather_mmu()
    inc_tlb_flush_pending(tlb->mm);
  free_pgtables()
    tlb->freed_tables = 1
    tlb->cleared_pmds = 1

                                        pthread_exit()
                                        madvise(thread_stack, 8M, MADV_DONTNEED)
                                          zap_page_range()
                                            tlb_gather_mmu()
                                              inc_tlb_flush_pending(tlb->mm);

  tlb_finish_mmu()
    if (mm_tlb_flush_nested(tlb->mm))
      __tlb_reset_range()

__tlb_reset_range() would reset freed_tables and cleared_* bits, but this
may cause inconsistency for munmap() which do free page tables.  Then it
may result in some architectures, e.g.  aarch64, may not flush TLB
completely as expected to have stale TLB entries remained.

Use fullmm flush since it yields much better performance on aarch64 and
non-fullmm doesn't yields significant difference on x86.

The original proposed fix came from Jan Stancek who mainly debugged this
issue, I just wrapped up everything together.

Peter Zijlstra fa0aafb8ac asm-generic/tlb: Remove tlb_flush_mmu_free()
As the comment notes; it is a potentially dangerous operation. Just
use tlb_flush_mmu(), that will skip the (double) TLB invalidate if
it really isn't needed anyway.

No change in behavior intended.

Martin Schwidefsky 952a31c9e6 asm-generic/tlb: Introduce CONFIG_HAVE_MMU_GATHER_NO_GATHER=y
Add the Kconfig option HAVE_MMU_GATHER_NO_GATHER to the generic
mmu_gather code. If the option is set the mmu_gather will not
track individual pages for delayed page free anymore. A platform
that enables the option needs to provide its own implementation
of the __tlb_remove_page_size() function to free pages.

Peter Zijlstra 96bc9567cb asm-generic/tlb, arch: Invert CONFIG_HAVE_RCU_TABLE_INVALIDATE
Make issuing a TLB invalidate for page-table pages the normal case.

The reason is twofold:

 - too many invalidates is safer than too few,
 - most architectures use the linux page-tables natively
   and would thus require this.

Make it an opt-out, instead of an opt-in.

No change in behavior intended.

Paul E. McKenney b401ec1848 mm: Replace call_rcu_sched() with call_rcu()
Now that call_rcu()'s callback is not invoked until after all
preempt-disable regions of code have completed (in addition to explicitly
marked RCU read-side critical sections), call_rcu() can be used in place
of call_rcu_sched().  This commit therefore makes that change.
