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"

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>
<updated>2022-06-17T02:48:27Z</updated>
<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.

<title>parisc: Disable debug code regarding cache flushes in handle_nadtlb_fault()</title>

<id>urn:sha1:67c35a3b646cc68598ff0bb28de5f8bd7b2e81b3</id>
<content type='text'>
Change the "BUG" to "WARNING" and disable the message because it triggers
occasionally in spite of the check in flush_cache_page_if_present.

The pte value extracted for the "from" page in copy_user_highpage is racy and
occasionally the pte is cleared before the flush is complete.  I assume that
the page is simultaneously flushed by flush_cache_mm before the pte is cleared
as nullifying the fdc doesn't seem to cause problems.

I investigated various locking scenarios but I wasn't able to find a way to
sequence the flushes.  This code is called for every COW break and locks impact
performance.

This patch is related to the bigger cache flush patch because we need the pte
on PA8800/PA8900 to flush using the vma context.
I have also seen this from copy_to_user_page and copy_from_user_page.

The messages appear infrequently when enabled.

<title>parisc: Fix handling off probe non-access faults</title>

<id>urn:sha1:e00b0a2ab8ec019c344e53bfc76e31c18bb587b7</id>
<content type='text'>
Currently, the parisc kernel does not fully support non-access TLB
fault handling for probe instructions. In the fast path, we set the
target register to zero if it is not a shadowed register. The slow
path is not implemented, so we call do_page_fault. The architecture
indicates that non-access faults should not cause a page fault from
disk.

This change adds to code to provide non-access fault support for
probe instructions. It also modifies the handling of faults on
userspace so that if the address lies in a valid VMA and the access
type matches that for the VMA, the probe target register is set to
one. Otherwise, the target register is set to zero.

This was done to make probe instructions more useful for userspace.
Probe instructions are not very useful if they set the target register
to zero whenever a page is not present in memory. Nominally, the
purpose of the probe instruction is determine whether read or write
access to a given address is allowed.

This fixes a problem in function pointer comparison noticed in the
glibc testsuite (stdio-common/tst-vfprintf-user-type). The same
problem is likely in glibc (_dl_lookup_address).

V2 adds flush and lpa instruction support to handle_nadtlb_fault.

<title>parisc: Drop __init from map_pages declaration</title>

<id>urn:sha1:9129886b88185962538180625ca8051362b01327</id>
<content type='text'>
With huge kernel pages, we randomly eat a SPARC in map_pages(). This
is fixed by dropping __init from the declaration.

However, map_pages references the __init routine memblock_alloc_try_nid
via memblock_alloc.  Thus, it needs to be marked with __ref.

memblock_alloc is only called before the kernel text is set to readonly.

The __ref on free_initmem is no longer needed.

Comment regarding map_pages being in the init section is removed.
