Pull MM updates from Andrew Morton:
 "Most of the MM queue. A few things are still pending.

  Liam's maple tree rework didn't make it. This has resulted in a few
  other minor patch series being held over for next time.

  Multi-gen LRU still isn't merged as we were waiting for mapletree to
  stabilize. The current plan is to merge MGLRU into -mm soon and to
  later reintroduce mapletree, with a view to hopefully getting both
  into 6.1-rc1.

  Summary:

   - The usual batches of cleanups from Baoquan He, Muchun Song, Miaohe
     Lin, Yang Shi, Anshuman Khandual and Mike Rapoport

   - Some kmemleak fixes from Patrick Wang and Waiman Long

   - DAMON updates from SeongJae Park

   - memcg debug/visibility work from Roman Gushchin

   - vmalloc speedup from Uladzislau Rezki

   - more folio conversion work from Matthew Wilcox

   - enhancements for coherent device memory mapping from Alex Sierra

   - addition of shared pages tracking and CoW support for fsdax, from
     Shiyang Ruan

   - hugetlb optimizations from Mike Kravetz

   - Mel Gorman has contributed some pagealloc changes to improve
     latency and realtime behaviour.

   - mprotect soft-dirty checking has been improved by Peter Xu

   - Many other singleton patches all over the place"

<title>openrisc: io: Define iounmap argument as volatile</title>

<content type='text'>
When OpenRISC enables PCI it allows for more drivers to be compiled
resulting in exposing the following with -Werror.

    drivers/video/fbdev/riva/fbdev.c: In function 'rivafb_probe':
    drivers/video/fbdev/riva/fbdev.c:2062:42: error:
	    passing argument 1 of 'iounmap' discards 'volatile' qualifier from pointer target type

    drivers/video/fbdev/nvidia/nvidia.c: In function 'nvidiafb_probe':
    drivers/video/fbdev/nvidia/nvidia.c:1414:20: error:
	    passing argument 1 of 'iounmap' discards 'volatile' qualifier from pointer target type

    drivers/scsi/aic7xxx/aic7xxx_osm.c: In function 'ahc_platform_free':
    drivers/scsi/aic7xxx/aic7xxx_osm.c:1231:41: error:
	    passing argument 1 of 'iounmap' discards 'volatile' qualifier from pointer target type

Most architectures define the iounmap argument to be volatile.  To fix this
issue we do the same for OpenRISC.  This patch must go before PCI is enabled on
OpenRISC to avoid any compile failures.

This enables ARCH_HAS_VM_GET_PAGE_PROT on the platform and exports
standard vm_get_page_prot() implementation via DECLARE_VM_GET_PAGE_PROT,
which looks up a private and static protection_map[] array.  Subsequently
all __SXXX and __PXXX macros can be dropped which are no longer needed.

<title>mm: avoid unnecessary page fault retires on shared memory types</title>

<author>

<link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='https://git.zx2c4.com/linux-dev/commit/?id=d92725256b4f22d084b813b37ddc394da79aacab'/>
<id>urn:sha1:d92725256b4f22d084b813b37ddc394da79aacab</id>
<content type='text'>
I observed that for each of the shared file-backed page faults, we're very
likely to retry one more time for the 1st write fault upon no page.  It's
because we'll need to release the mmap lock for dirty rate limit purpose
with balance_dirty_pages_ratelimited() (in fault_dirty_shared_page()).

Then after that throttling we return VM_FAULT_RETRY.

We did that probably because VM_FAULT_RETRY is the only way we can return
to the fault handler at that time telling it we've released the mmap lock.

However that's not ideal because it's very likely the fault does not need
to be retried at all since the pgtable was well installed before the
throttling, so the next continuous fault (including taking mmap read lock,
walk the pgtable, etc.) could be in most cases unnecessary.

It's not only slowing down page faults for shared file-backed, but also add
more mmap lock contention which is in most cases not needed at all.

To observe this, one could try to write to some shmem page and look at
"pgfault" value in /proc/vmstat, then we should expect 2 counts for each
shmem write simply because we retried, and vm event "pgfault" will capture
that.

To make it more efficient, add a new VM_FAULT_COMPLETED return code just to
show that we've completed the whole fault and released the lock.  It's also
a hint that we should very possibly not need another fault immediately on
this page because we've just completed it.

This patch provides a ~12% perf boost on my aarch64 test VM with a simple
program sequentially dirtying 400MB shmem file being mmap()ed and these are
the time it needs:

  Before: 650.980 ms (+-1.94%)
  After:  569.396 ms (+-1.38%)

I believe it could help more than that.

We need some special care on GUP and the s390 pgfault handler (for gmap
code before returning from pgfault), the rest changes in the page fault
handlers should be relatively straightforward.

Another thing to mention is that mm_account_fault() does take this new
fault as a generic fault to be accounted, unlike VM_FAULT_RETRY.

I explicitly didn't touch hmm_vma_fault() and break_ksm() because they do
not handle VM_FAULT_RETRY even with existing code, so I'm literally keeping
them as-is.

Sparse reported the following warning:

    arch/openrisc/mm/fault.c:27:15: warning: symbol 'pte_misses' was not declared. Should it be static?
    arch/openrisc/mm/fault.c:28:15: warning: symbol 'pte_errors' was not declared. Should it be static?
    arch/openrisc/mm/fault.c:33:16: warning: symbol 'current_pgd' was not declared. Should it be static?

This patch fixes these by:
 - Remove unused pte_misses and pte_errors counters which are no longer
   used.
 - Add asm/mmu_context.h include to provide the current_pgd declaration.

Nop 42 is some leftover debugging thing by the looks of it. Nop 1 will
shut down the simulator, which isn't what we want, since it makes it

Originally the mmu_gathers were removed in commit 1c3951769621 ("mm: now
that all old mmu_gather code is gone, remove the storage").  However,
the openrisc and hexagon architecture were merged around the same time
and mmu_gathers was not removed.

This patch removes them from openrisc, hexagon and nds32:

Noticed while cleaning this warning:

    arch/openrisc/mm/init.c:41:1: warning: symbol 'mmu_gathers' was not declared. Should it be static?

<title>mm: remove redundant check about FAULT_FLAG_ALLOW_RETRY bit</title>

<content type='text'>
Since commit 4064b9827063 ("mm: allow VM_FAULT_RETRY for multiple
times") allowed VM_FAULT_RETRY for multiple times, the
FAULT_FLAG_ALLOW_RETRY bit of fault_flag will not be changed in the page
fault path, so the following check is no longer needed:

	flags &amp; FAULT_FLAG_ALLOW_RETRY

So just remove it.

Pull exit cleanups from Eric Biederman:
 "While looking at some issues related to the exit path in the kernel I
  found several instances where the code is not using the existing
  abstractions properly.

  This set of changes introduces force_fatal_sig a way of sending a
  signal and not allowing it to be caught, and corrects the misuse of
  the existing abstractions that I found.

  A lot of the misuse of the existing abstractions are silly things such
  as doing something after calling a no return function, rolling BUG by
  hand, doing more work than necessary to terminate a kernel thread, or
  calling do_exit(SIGKILL) instead of calling force_sig(SIGKILL).

  In the review a deficiency in force_fatal_sig and force_sig_seccomp
  where ptrace or sigaction could prevent the delivery of the signal was
  found. I have added a change that adds SA_IMMUTABLE to change that
  makes it impossible to interrupt the delivery of those signals, and
  allows backporting to fix force_sig_seccomp

  And Arnd found an issue where a function passed to kthread_run had the
  wrong prototype, and after my cleanup was failing to build."
