b756a3b5e7 mm: device exclusive memory access
Some devices require exclusive write access to shared virtual memory (SVM)
ranges to perform atomic operations on that memory.  This requires CPU
page tables to be updated to deny access whilst atomic operations are
occurring.

In order to do this introduce a new swap entry type
(SWP_DEVICE_EXCLUSIVE).  When a SVM range needs to be marked for exclusive
access by a device all page table mappings for the particular range are
replaced with device exclusive swap entries.  This causes any CPU access
to the page to result in a fault.

Faults are resovled by replacing the faulting entry with the original
mapping.  This results in MMU notifiers being called which a driver uses
to update access permissions such as revoking atomic access.  After
notifiers have been called the device will no longer have exclusive access
to the region.

Walking of the page tables to find the target pages is handled by
get_user_pages() rather than a direct page table walk.  A direct page
table walk similar to what migrate_vma_collect()/unmap() does could also
have been utilised.  However this resulted in more code similar in
functionality to what get_user_pages() provides as page faulting is
required to make the PTEs present and to break COW.

6b49bf6ddb mm: rename migrate_pgmap_owner
MMU notifier ranges have a migrate_pgmap_owner field which is used by
drivers to store a pointer.  This is subsequently used by the driver
callback to filter MMU_NOTIFY_MIGRATE events.  Other notifier event types
can also benefit from this filtering, so rename the 'migrate_pgmap_owner'
field to 'owner' and create a new notifier initialisation function to
initialise this field.

cd62734ca6 mm/rmap: split try_to_munlock from try_to_unmap
The behaviour of try_to_unmap_one() is difficult to follow because it
performs different operations based on a fairly large set of flags used in
different combinations.

TTU_MUNLOCK is one such flag.  However it is exclusively used by
try_to_munlock() which specifies no other flags.  Therefore rather than
overload try_to_unmap_one() with unrelated behaviour split this out into
it's own function and remove the flag.

8669dbab2a mm/slub: clarify verification reporting
Patch series "Actually fix freelist pointer vs redzoning", v4.

This fixes redzoning vs the freelist pointer (both for middle-position
and very small caches).  Both are "theoretical" fixes, in that I see no
evidence of such small-sized caches actually be used in the kernel, but
that's no reason to let the bugs continue to exist, especially since
people doing local development keep tripping over it.  :)

This patch (of 3):

Instead of repeating "Redzone" and "Poison", clarify which sides of
those zones got tripped.  Additionally fix column alignment in the
trailer.

Before:

  BUG test (Tainted: G    B            ): Redzone overwritten
  ...
  Redzone (____ptrval____): bb bb bb bb bb bb bb bb      ........
  Object (____ptrval____): f6 f4 a5 40 1d e8            ...@..
  Redzone (____ptrval____): 1a aa                        ..
  Padding (____ptrval____): 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00      ........

After:

  BUG test (Tainted: G    B            ): Right Redzone overwritten
  ...
  Redzone  (____ptrval____): bb bb bb bb bb bb bb bb      ........
  Object   (____ptrval____): f6 f4 a5 40 1d e8            ...@..
  Redzone  (____ptrval____): 1a aa                        ..
  Padding  (____ptrval____): 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00      ........

The earlier commits that slowly resulted in the "Before" reporting were:

  d86bd1bece ("mm/slub: support left redzone")
  ffc79d2880 ("slub: use print_hex_dump")
  2492268472 ("SLUB: change error reporting format to follow lockdep loosely")

866b485262 mm/page_owner: record the timestamp of all pages during free
Collect the time when each allocation is freed, to help with memory
analysis with kdump/ramdump.  Add the timestamp also in the page_owner
debugfs file and print it in dump_page().

Having another timestamp when we free the page helps for debugging page
migration issues.  For example both alloc and free timestamps being the
same can gave hints that there is an issue with migrating memory, as
opposed to a page just being dropped during migration.

bb5c47ced4 mm/debug_vm_pgtable/basic: add validation for dirtiness after write protect
Patch series "mm/debug_vm_pgtable: Some minor updates", v3.

This series contains some cleanups and new test suggestions from Catalin
from an earlier discussion.

https://lore.kernel.org/linux-mm/20201123142237.GF17833@gaia/

This patch (of 2):

This adds validation tests for dirtiness after write protect conversion
for each page table level.  There are two new separate test types involved
here.

The first test ensures that a given page table entry does not become dirty
after pxx_wrprotect().  This is important for platforms like arm64 which
transfers and drops the hardware dirty bit (!PTE_RDONLY) to the software
dirty bit while making it an write protected one.  This test ensures that
no fresh page table entry could be created with hardware dirty bit set.
The second test ensures that a given page table entry always preserve the
dirty information across pxx_wrprotect().

This adds two previously missing PUD level basic tests and while here
fixes pxx_wrprotect() related typos in the documentation file.

15b4473617 mm/lru: revise the comments of lru_lock
Since we changed the pgdat->lru_lock to lruvec->lru_lock, it's time to fix
the incorrect comments in code.  Also fixed some zone->lru_lock comment
error from ancient time.  etc.

I struggled to understand the comment above move_pages_to_lru() (surely
it never calls page_referenced()), and eventually realized that most of
it had got separated from shrink_active_list(): move that comment back.

5e545df329 arm: remove CONFIG_ARCH_HAS_HOLES_MEMORYMODEL
ARM is the only architecture that defines CONFIG_ARCH_HAS_HOLES_MEMORYMODEL
which in turn enables memmap_valid_within() function that is intended to
verify existence  of struct page associated with a pfn when there are holes
in the memory map.

However, the ARCH_HAS_HOLES_MEMORYMODEL also enables HAVE_ARCH_PFN_VALID
and arch-specific pfn_valid() implementation that also deals with the holes
in the memory map.

The only two users of memmap_valid_within() call this function after
a call to pfn_valid() so the memmap_valid_within() check becomes redundant.

Remove CONFIG_ARCH_HAS_HOLES_MEMORYMODEL and memmap_valid_within() and rely
entirely on ARM's implementation of pfn_valid() that is now enabled
unconditionally.

9cc7e96aa8 mm/page_owner: record timestamp and pid
Collect the time for each allocation recorded in page owner so that
allocation "surges" can be measured.

Record the pid for each allocation recorded in page owner so that the
source of allocation "surges" can be better identified.

The above is very useful when doing memory analysis.  On a crash for
example, we can get this information from kdump (or ramdump) and parse it
to figure out memory allocation problems.

Please note that on x86_64 this increases the size of struct page_owner
from 16 bytes to 32.

Vlastimil: it's not a functionality intended for production, so unless
somebody says they need to enable page_owner for debugging and this
increase prevents them from fitting into available memory, let's not
complicate things with making this optional.

2. THP_MIGRATION_FAILURE
3. THP_MIGRATION_SPLIT

In addition, these new events also update normal page migration statistics
appropriately via PGMIGRATE_SUCCESS and PGMIGRATE_FAILURE.  While here,
this updates current trace event 'mm_migrate_pages' to accommodate now

c89ab04feb mm/sparse: cleanup the code surrounding memory_present()
After removal of CONFIG_HAVE_MEMBLOCK_NODE_MAP we have two equivalent
functions that call memory_present() for each region in memblock.memory:
sparse_memory_present_with_active_regions() and membocks_present().

Moreover, all architectures have a call to either of these functions
preceding the call to sparse_init() and in the most cases they are called
one after the other.

Mark the regions from memblock.memory as present during sparce_init() by
making sparse_init() call memblocks_present(), make memblocks_present()
and memory_present() functions static and remove redundant
sparse_memory_present_with_active_regions() function.

Also remove no longer required HAVE_MEMORY_PRESENT configuration option.

56993b4e14 mm/sparsemem: enable vmem_altmap support in vmemmap_alloc_block_buf()
There are many instances where vmemap allocation is often switched between
regular memory and device memory just based on whether altmap is available
or not.  vmemmap_alloc_block_buf() is used in various platforms to
allocate vmemmap mappings.  Lets also enable it to handle altmap based
device memory allocation along with existing regular memory allocations.
This will help in avoiding the altmap based allocation switch in many
places.  To summarize there are two different methods to call
vmemmap_alloc_block_buf().

vmemmap_alloc_block_buf(size, node, NULL)   /* Allocate from system RAM */
vmemmap_alloc_block_buf(size, node, altmap) /* Allocate from altmap */

This converts altmap_alloc_block_buf() into a static function, drops it's
entry from the header and updates Documentation/vm/memory-model.rst.

060807f841 mm, slub: make remaining slub_debug related attributes read-only
SLUB_DEBUG creates several files under /sys/kernel/slab/<cache>/ that can
be read to check if the respective debugging options are enabled for given
cache.  Some options, namely sanity_checks, trace, and failslab can be
also enabled and disabled at runtime by writing into the files.

The runtime toggling is racy.  Some options disable __CMPXCHG_DOUBLE when
enabled, which means that in case of concurrent allocations, some can
still use __CMPXCHG_DOUBLE and some not, leading to potential corruption.
The s->flags field is also not updated or checked atomically.  The
simplest solution is to remove the runtime toggling.  The extended
slub_debug boot parameter syntax introduced by earlier patch should allow
to fine-tune the debugging configuration during boot with same
granularity.

ad38b5b113 mm, slub: make some slub_debug related attributes read-only
SLUB_DEBUG creates several files under /sys/kernel/slab/<cache>/ that can
be read to check if the respective debugging options are enabled for given
cache.  The options can be also toggled at runtime by writing into the
files.  Some of those, namely red_zone, poison, and store_user can be
toggled only when no objects yet exist in the cache.

Vijayanand reports [1] that there is a problem with freelist randomization
if changing the debugging option's state results in different number of
objects per page, and the random sequence cache needs thus needs to be
recomputed.

However, another problem is that the check for "no objects yet exist in
the cache" is racy, as noted by Jann [2] and fixing that would add
overhead or otherwise complicate the allocation/freeing paths.  Thus it
would be much simpler just to remove the runtime toggling support.  The
documentation describes it's "In case you forgot to enable debugging on
the kernel command line", but the neccessity of having no objects limits
its usefulness anyway for many caches.

Vijayanand describes an use case [3] where debugging is enabled for all
but zram caches for memory overhead reasons, and using the runtime toggles
was the only way to achieve such configuration.  After the previous patch
it's now possible to do that directly from the kernel boot option, so we
can remove the dangerous runtime toggles by making the /sys attribute
files read-only.

While updating it, also improve the documentation of the debugging /sys files.

e17f1dfba3 mm, slub: extend slub_debug syntax for multiple blocks
Patch series "slub_debug fixes and improvements".

The slub_debug kernel boot parameter can either apply a single set of
options to all caches or a list of caches.  There is a use case where
debugging is applied for all caches and then disabled at runtime for
specific caches, for performance and memory consumption reasons [1].  As
runtime changes are dangerous, extend the boot parameter syntax so that

2733ea144d mm/hmm: remove the customizable pfn format from hmm_range_fault
Presumably the intent here was that hmm_range_fault() could put the data
into some HW specific format and thus avoid some work. However, nothing
actually does that, and it isn't clear how anything actually could do that
as hmm_range_fault() provides CPU addresses which must be DMA mapped.

Perhaps there is some special HW that does not need DMA mapping, but we
don't have any examples of this, and the theoretical performance win of
avoiding an extra scan over the pfns array doesn't seem worth the
complexity. Plus pfns needs to be scanned anyhow to sort out any
DEVICE_PRIVATE pages.

This version replaces the uint64_t with an usigned long containing a pfn
and fixed flags. On input flags is filled with the HMM_PFN_REQ_* values,
on successful output it is filled with HMM_PFN_* values, describing the
state of the pages.

amdgpu is simple to convert, it doesn't use snapshot and doesn't use
per-page flags.

nouveau uses only 16 hmm_pte entries at most (ie fits in a few cache
lines), and it sweeps over its pfns array a couple of times anyhow. It
also has a nasty call chain before it reaches the dma map and hardware
suggesting performance isn't important:

   nouveau_svm_fault():
     args.i.m.method = NVIF_VMM_V0_PFNMAP
     nouveau_range_fault()
      nvif_object_ioctl()

be957c886d mm/hmm: make hmm_range_fault return 0 or -1
hmm_vma_walk->last is supposed to be updated after every write to the
pfns, so that it can be returned by hmm_range_fault(). However, this is
not done consistently. Fortunately nothing checks the return code of
hmm_range_fault() for anything other than error.

More importantly last must be set before returning -EBUSY as it is used to
prevent reading an output pfn as an input flags when the loop restarts.

For clarity and simplicity make hmm_range_fault() return 0 or -ERRNO. Only
set last when returning -EBUSY.

bb8b93b5b6 mm/zswap: allow setting default status, compressor and allocator in Kconfig
The compressed cache for swap pages (zswap) currently needs from 1 to 3
extra kernel command line parameters in order to make it work: it has to
be enabled by adding a "zswap.enabled=1" command line parameter and if one
wants a different compressor or pool allocator than the default lzo / zbud
combination then these choices also need to be specified on the kernel
command line in additional parameters.

Using a different compressor and allocator for zswap is actually pretty
common as guides often recommend using the lz4 / z3fold pair instead of
the default one.  In such case it is also necessary to remember to enable
the appropriate compression algorithm and pool allocator in the kernel
config manually.

Let's avoid the need for adding these kernel command line parameters and
automatically pull in the dependencies for the selected compressor
algorithm and pool allocator by adding an appropriate default switches to
Kconfig.

The default values for these options match what the code was using
previously as its defaults.
