Oscar Salvador a08a2ae346 mm,memory_hotplug: allocate memmap from the added memory range 
Physical memory hotadd has to allocate a memmap (struct page array) for
the newly added memory section.  Currently, alloc_pages_node() is used
for those allocations.

This has some disadvantages:
 a) an existing memory is consumed for that purpose
    (eg: ~2MB per 128MB memory section on x86_64)
    This can even lead to extreme cases where system goes OOM because
    the physically hotplugged memory depletes the available memory before
    it is onlined.
 b) if the whole node is movable then we have off-node struct pages
    which has performance drawbacks.
 c) It might be there are no PMD_ALIGNED chunks so memmap array gets
    populated with base pages.

This can be improved when CONFIG_SPARSEMEM_VMEMMAP is enabled.

Vmemap page tables can map arbitrary memory.  That means that we can
reserve a part of the physically hotadded memory to back vmemmap page
tables.  This implementation uses the beginning of the hotplugged memory
for that purpose.

There are some non-obviously things to consider though.

Vmemmap pages are allocated/freed during the memory hotplug events
(add_memory_resource(), try_remove_memory()) when the memory is
added/removed.  This means that the reserved physical range is not
online although it is used.  The most obvious side effect is that
pfn_to_online_page() returns NULL for those pfns.  The current design
expects that this should be OK as the hotplugged memory is considered a
garbage until it is onlined.  For example hibernation wouldn't save the
content of those vmmemmaps into the image so it wouldn't be restored on
resume but this should be OK as there no real content to recover anyway
while metadata is reachable from other data structures (e.g.  vmemmap
page tables).

The reserved space is therefore (de)initialized during the {on,off}line
events (mhp_{de}init_memmap_on_memory).  That is done by extracting page
allocator independent initialization from the regular onlining path.
The primary reason to handle the reserved space outside of
{on,off}line_pages is to make each initialization specific to the
purpose rather than special case them in a single function.

As per above, the functions that are introduced are:

 - mhp_init_memmap_on_memory:
   Initializes vmemmap pages by calling move_pfn_range_to_zone(), calls
   kasan_add_zero_shadow(), and onlines as many sections as vmemmap pages
   fully span.

 - mhp_deinit_memmap_on_memory:
   Offlines as many sections as vmemmap pages fully span, removes the
   range from zhe zone by remove_pfn_range_from_zone(), and calls
   kasan_remove_zero_shadow() for the range.

The new function memory_block_online() calls mhp_init_memmap_on_memory()
before doing the actual online_pages().  Should online_pages() fail, we
clean up by calling mhp_deinit_memmap_on_memory().  Adjusting of
present_pages is done at the end once we know that online_pages()
succedeed.

On offline, memory_block_offline() needs to unaccount vmemmap pages from
present_pages() before calling offline_pages().  This is necessary because
offline_pages() tears down some structures based on the fact whether the
node or the zone become empty.  If offline_pages() fails, we account back
vmemmap pages.  If it succeeds, we call mhp_deinit_memmap_on_memory().

Hot-remove:

 We need to be careful when removing memory, as adding and
 removing memory needs to be done with the same granularity.
 To check that this assumption is not violated, we check the
 memory range we want to remove and if a) any memory block has
 vmemmap pages and b) the range spans more than a single memory
 block, we scream out loud and refuse to proceed.

 If all is good and the range was using memmap on memory (aka vmemmap pages),
 we construct an altmap structure so free_hugepage_table does the right
 thing and calls vmem_altmap_free instead of free_pagetable.

The NOMMU mmap() frequently needs to allocate large contiguous chunks

allocator for chunks in 2^N*PAGE_SIZE amounts - which is frequently
more than it requires. To deal with this, mmap() is able to trim off
the excess and return it to the allocator.
If trimming is enabled, the excess is trimmed off and returned to the
system allocator, which can cause extra fragmentation, particularly
if there are a lot of transient processes.
If trimming is disabled, the excess is kept, but not used, which for
long-term mappings means that the space is wasted.
Trimming can be dynamically controlled through a sysctl option
(/proc/sys/vm/nr_trim_pages) which specifies the minimum number of
excess pages there must be before trimming should occur, or zero if
no trimming is to occur.
This option specifies the initial value of this option. The default
of 1 says that all excess pages should be trimmed.

help
Cleancache can be thought of as a page-granularity victim cache
for clean pages that the kernel's pageframe replacement algorithm
(PFRA) would like to keep around, but can't since there isn't enough
memory. So when the PFRA "evicts" a page, it first attempts to use
cleancache code to put the data contained in that page into
"transcendent memory", memory that is not directly accessible or
addressable by the kernel and is of unknown and possibly
time-varying size. And when a cleancache-enabled
filesystem wishes to access a page in a file on disk, it first
checks cleancache to see if it already contains it; if it does,
the page is copied into the kernel and a disk access is avoided.
When a transcendent memory driver is available (such as zcache or
Xen transcendent memory), a significant I/O reduction
may be achieved. When none is available, all cleancache calls
are reduced to a single pointer-compare-against-NULL resulting
in a negligible performance hit.

depends on STACK_GROWSUP && (!64BIT || COMPAT)
help
This is the maximum stack size in Megabytes in the VM layout of 32-bit
user processes when the stack grows upwards (currently only on parisc
arch) when the RLIMIT_STACK hard limit is unlimited.
A sane initial value is 100 MB.
config DEFERRED_STRUCT_PAGE_INIT
bool "Defer initialisation of struct pages to kthreads"
depends on SPARSEMEM
depends on !NEED_PER_CPU_KM
depends on 64BIT
select PADATA
help
Ordinarily all struct pages are initialised during early boot in a
single thread. On very large machines this can take a considerable
amount of time. If this option is set, large machines will bring up
a subset of memmap at boot and then initialise the rest in parallel.
This has a potential performance impact on tasks running early in the
lifetime of the system until these kthreads finish the
initialisation.
config IDLE_PAGE_TRACKING
bool "Enable idle page tracking"
depends on SYSFS && MMU
select PAGE_EXTENSION if !64BIT
help
This feature allows to estimate the amount of user pages that have
not been touched during a given period of time. This information can
be useful to tune memory cgroup limits and/or for job placement
within a compute cluster.
See Documentation/admin-guide/mm/idle_page_tracking.rst for
more details.

select XARRAY_MULTI
help
Device memory hotplug support allows for establishing pmem,
or other device driver discovered memory regions, in the
memmap. This allows pfn_to_page() lookups of otherwise
"device-physical" addresses which is needed for using a DAX
mapping in an O_DIRECT operation, among other things.
If FS_DAX is enabled, then say Y.

help
Allows creation of struct pages to represent unaddressable device
memory; i.e., memory that is only accessible from the device (or
group of devices). You likely also want to select HMM_MIRROR.

config PERCPU_STATS
bool "Collect percpu memory statistics"
help
This feature collects and exposes statistics via debugfs. The
information includes global and per chunk statistics, which can
be used to help understand percpu memory usage.
config GUP_TEST
bool "Enable infrastructure for get_user_pages()-related unit tests"
depends on DEBUG_FS
help
Provides /sys/kernel/debug/gup_test, which in turn provides a way
to make ioctl calls that can launch kernel-based unit tests for
the get_user_pages*() and pin_user_pages*() family of API calls.
These tests include benchmark testing of the _fast variants of
get_user_pages*() and pin_user_pages*(), as well as smoke tests of
the non-_fast variants.
There is also a sub-test that allows running dump_page() on any
of up to eight pages (selected by command line args) within the
range of user-space addresses. These pages are either pinned via
pin_user_pages*(), or pinned via get_user_pages*(), as specified
by other command line arguments.

Allow khugepaged to put read-only file-backed pages in THP.
This is marked experimental because it is a new feature. Write
support of file THPs will be developed in the next few release
cycles.
