Pull MM updates from Andrew Morton:

 - In the series "mm: Avoid possible overflows in dirty throttling" Jan
   Kara addresses a couple of issues in the writeback throttling code.
   These fixes are also targetted at -stable kernels.

 - Ryusuke Konishi's series "nilfs2: fix potential issues related to
   reserved inodes" does that. This should actually be in the
   mm-nonmm-stable tree, along with the many other nilfs2 patches. My
   bad.

 - More folio conversions from Kefeng Wang in the series "mm: convert to
   folio_alloc_mpol()"

 - Kemeng Shi has sent some cleanups to the writeback code in the series
   "Add helper functions to remove repeated code and improve readability
   of cgroup writeback"

 - Kairui Song has made the swap code a little smaller and a little
   faster in the series "mm/swap: clean up and optimize swap cache
   index".

 - In the series "mm/memory: cleanly support zeropage in
   vm_insert_page*(), vm_map_pages*() and vmf_insert_mixed()" David
   Hildenbrand has reworked the rather sketchy handling of the use of
   the zeropage in MAP_SHARED mappings. I don't see any runtime effects
   here - more a cleanup/understandability/maintainablity thing.

 - Dev Jain has improved selftests/mm/va_high_addr_switch.c's handling
   of higher addresses, for aarch64. The (poorly named) series is
   "Restructure va_high_addr_switch".

 - The core TLB handling code gets some cleanups and possible slight
   optimizations in Bang Li's series "Add update_mmu_tlb_range() to
   simplify code".

 - Jane Chu has improved the handling of our
   fake-an-unrecoverable-memory-error testing feature MADV_HWPOISON in
   the series "Enhance soft hwpoison handling and injection".

 - Jeff Johnson has sent a billion patches everywhere to add
   MODULE_DESCRIPTION() to everything. Some landed in this pull.

 - In the series "mm: cleanup MIGRATE_SYNC_NO_COPY mode", Kefeng Wang
   has simplified migration's use of hardware-offload memory copying.

 - Yosry Ahmed performs more folio API conversions in his series "mm:
   zswap: trivial folio conversions".

 - In the series "large folios swap-in: handle refault cases first",
   Chuanhua Han inches us forward in the handling of large pages in the
   swap code. This is a cleanup and optimization, working toward the end
   objective of full support of large folio swapin/out.

 - In the series "mm,swap: cleanup VMA based swap readahead window
   calculation", Huang Ying has contributed some cleanups and a possible
   fixlet to his VMA based swap readahead code.

 - In the series "add mTHP support for anonymous shmem" Baolin Wang has
   taught anonymous shmem mappings to use multisize THP. By default this
   is a no-op - users must opt in vis sysfs controls. Dramatic
   improvements in pagefault latency are realized.

 - David Hildenbrand has some cleanups to our remaining use of
   page_mapcount() in the series "fs/proc: move page_mapcount() to
   fs/proc/internal.h".

 - David also has some highmem accounting cleanups in the series
   "mm/highmem: don't track highmem pages manually".

 - Build-time fixes and cleanups from John Hubbard in the series
   "cleanups, fixes, and progress towards avoiding "make headers"".

 - Cleanups and consolidation of the core pagemap handling from Barry
   Song in the series "mm: introduce pmd|pte_needs_soft_dirty_wp helpers
   and utilize them".

 - Lance Yang's series "Reclaim lazyfree THP without splitting" has
   reduced the latency of the reclaim of pmd-mapped THPs under fairly
   common circumstances. A 10x speedup is seen in a microbenchmark.

   It does this by punting to aother CPU but I guess that's a win unless
   all CPUs are pegged.

 - hugetlb_cgroup cleanups from Xiu Jianfeng in the series
   "mm/hugetlb_cgroup: rework on cftypes".

 - Miaohe Lin's series "Some cleanups for memory-failure" does just that
   thing.

 - Someone other than SeongJae has developed a DAMON feature in Honggyu
   Kim's series "DAMON based tiered memory management for CXL memory".
   This adds DAMON features which may be used to help determine the
   efficiency of our placement of CXL/PCIe attached DRAM.

 - DAMON user API centralization and simplificatio work in SeongJae
   Park's series "mm/damon: introduce DAMON parameters online commit
   function".

 - In the series "mm: page_type, zsmalloc and page_mapcount_reset()"
   David Hildenbrand does some maintenance work on zsmalloc - partially
   modernizing its use of pageframe fields.

 - Kefeng Wang provides more folio conversions in the series "mm: remove
   page_maybe_dma_pinned() and page_mkclean()".

 - More cleanup from David Hildenbrand, this time in the series
   "mm/memory_hotplug: use PageOffline() instead of PageReserved() for
   !ZONE_DEVICE". It "enlightens memory hotplug more about PageOffline()
   pages" and permits the removal of some virtio-mem hacks.

 - Barry Song's series "mm: clarify folio_add_new_anon_rmap() and
   __folio_add_anon_rmap()" is a cleanup to the anon folio handling in
   preparation for mTHP (multisize THP) swapin.

 - Kefeng Wang's series "mm: improve clear and copy user folio"
   implements more folio conversions, this time in the area of large
   folio userspace copying.

 - The series "Docs/mm/damon/maintaier-profile: document a mailing tool
   and community meetup series" tells people how to get better involved
   with other DAMON developers. From SeongJae Park.

 - A large series ("kmsan: Enable on s390") from Ilya Leoshkevich does
   that.

 - David Hildenbrand sends along more cleanups, this time against the
   migration code. The series is "mm/migrate: move NUMA hinting fault
   folio isolation + checks under PTL".

 - Jan Kara has found quite a lot of strangenesses and minor errors in
   the readahead code. He addresses this in the series "mm: Fix various
   readahead quirks".

 - SeongJae Park's series "selftests/damon: test DAMOS tried regions and
   {min,max}_nr_regions" adds features and addresses errors in DAMON's
   self testing code.

 - Gavin Shan has found a userspace-triggerable WARN in the pagecache
   code. The series "mm/filemap: Limit page cache size to that supported
   by xarray" addresses this. The series is marked cc:stable.

 - Chengming Zhou's series "mm/ksm: cmp_and_merge_page() optimizations
   and cleanup" cleans up and slightly optimizes KSM.

 - Roman Gushchin has separated the memcg-v1 and memcg-v2 code - lots of
   code motion. The series (which also makes the memcg-v1 code
   Kconfigurable) are "mm: memcg: separate legacy cgroup v1 code and put
   under config option" and "mm: memcg: put cgroup v1-specific memcg
   data under CONFIG_MEMCG_V1"

 - Dan Schatzberg's series "Add swappiness argument to memory.reclaim"
   adds an additional feature to this cgroup-v2 control file.

 - The series "Userspace controls soft-offline pages" from Jiaqi Yan
   permits userspace to stop the kernel's automatic treatment of
   excessive correctable memory errors. In order to permit userspace to
   monitor and handle this situation.

 - Kefeng Wang's series "mm: migrate: support poison recover from
   migrate folio" teaches the kernel to appropriately handle migration
   from poisoned source folios rather than simply panicing.

 - SeongJae Park's series "Docs/damon: minor fixups and improvements"
   does those things.

 - In the series "mm/zsmalloc: change back to per-size_class lock"
   Chengming Zhou improves zsmalloc's scalability and memory
   utilization.

 - Vivek Kasireddy's series "mm/gup: Introduce memfd_pin_folios() for
   pinning memfd folios" makes the GUP code use FOLL_PIN rather than
   bare refcount increments. So these paes can first be moved aside if
   they reside in the movable zone or a CMA block.

 - Andrii Nakryiko has added a binary ioctl()-based API to
   /proc/pid/maps for much faster reading of vma information. The series
   is "query VMAs from /proc/&lt;pid&gt;/maps".

 - In the series "mm: introduce per-order mTHP split counters" Lance
   Yang improves the kernel's presentation of developer information
   related to multisize THP splitting.

 - Michael Ellerman has developed the series "Reimplement huge pages
   without hugepd on powerpc (8xx, e500, book3s/64)". This permits
   userspace to use all available huge page sizes.

 - In the series "revert unconditional slab and page allocator fault
   injection calls" Vlastimil Babka removes a performance-affecting and
   not very useful feature from slab fault injection.

Let's make update_mmu_tlb() simply a generic wrapper around
update_mmu_tlb_range().  Only the latter can now be overridden by the
architecture.  We can now remove __HAVE_ARCH_UPDATE_MMU_TLB as well.

Patch series "Add update_mmu_tlb_range() to simplify code", v4.

This series of commits mainly adds the update_mmu_tlb_range() to batch
update tlb in an address range and implement update_mmu_tlb() using
update_mmu_tlb_range().

After commit 19eaf44954df ("mm: thp: support allocation of anonymous
multi-size THP"), We may need to batch update tlb of a certain address
range by calling update_mmu_tlb() in a loop.  Using the
update_mmu_tlb_range(), we can simplify the code and possibly reduce the
execution of some unnecessary code in some architectures.


This patch (of 3):

Add update_mmu_tlb_range(), we can batch update tlb of an address range.

================================================================
Memory Hot(Un)Plug support (and ZONE_DEVICE) for the RISC-V port
================================================================

Introduction
============

To quote "Documentation/admin-guide/mm/memory-hotplug.rst": "Memory
hot(un)plug allows for increasing and decreasing the size of physical
memory available to a machine at runtime."

This series adds memory hot(un)plugging, and ZONE_DEVICE support for
the RISC-V Linux port.

MM configuration
================

RISC-V MM has the following configuration:

 * Memory blocks are 128M, analogous to x86-64. It uses PMD
   ("hugepage") vmemmaps. From that follows that 2M (PMD) worth of
   vmemmap spans 32768 pages á 4K which gets us 128M.

 * The pageblock size is the minimum minimum virtio_mem size, and on
   RISC-V it's 2M (2^9 * 4K).

Implementation
==============

The PGD table on RISC-V is shared/copied between for all processes. To
avoid doing page table synchronization, the first patch (patch 1)
pre-allocated the PGD entries for vmemmap/direct map. By doing that
the init_mm PGD will be fixed at kernel init, and synchronization can
be avoided all together.

The following two patches (patch 2-3) does some preparations, followed
by the actual MHP implementation (patch 4-5). Then, MHP and virtio-mem
are enabled (patch 6-7), and finally ZONE_DEVICE support is added
(patch 8).

MHP and locking
===============

TL;DR: The MHP does not step on any toes, except for ptdump.
Additional locking is required for ptdump.

Long version: For v2 I spent some time digging into init_mm
synchronization/update. Here are my findings, and I'd love them to be
corrected if incorrect.

It's been a gnarly path...

The `init_mm` structure is a special mm (perhaps not a "real" one).
It's a "lazy context" that tracks kernel page table resources, e.g.,
the kernel page table (swapper_pg_dir), a kernel page_table_lock (more
about the usage below), mmap_lock, and such.

`init_mm` does not track/contain any VMAs. Having the `init_mm` is
convenient, so that the regular kernel page table walk/modify
functions can be used.

Now, `init_mm` being special means that the locking for kernel page
tables are special as well.

On RISC-V the PGD (top-level page table structure), similar to x86, is
shared (copied) with user processes. If the kernel PGD is modified, it
has to be synched to user-mode processes PGDs. This is avoided by
pre-populating the PGD, so it'll be fixed from boot.

The in-kernel pgd regions are documented in
`Documentation/arch/riscv/vm-layout.rst`.

The distinct regions are:
 * vmemmap
 * vmalloc/ioremap space
 * direct mapping of all physical memory
 * kasan
 * modules, BPF
 * kernel

Memory hotplug is the process of adding/removing memory to/from the
kernel.

Adding is done in two phases:
 1. Add the memory to the kernel
 2. Online memory, making it available to the page allocator.

Step 1 is partially architecture dependent, and updates the init_mm
page table:
 * Update the direct map page tables. The direct map is a linear map,
   representing all physical memory: `virt = phys + PAGE_OFFSET`
 * Add a `struct page` for each added page of memory. Update the
   vmemmap (virtual mapping to the `struct page`, so we can easily
   transform a kernel virtual address to a `struct page *` address.

From an MHP perspective, there are two regions of the PGD that are
updated:
 * vmemmap
 * direct mapping of all physical memory

The `struct mm_struct` has a couple of locks in play:
 * `spinlock_t page_table_lock` protects the page table, and some
    counters
 * `struct rw_semaphore mmap_lock` protect an mm's VMAs

Note again that `init_mm` does not contain any VMAs, but still uses
the mmap_lock in some places.

The `page_table_lock` was originally used to to protect all pages
tables, but more recently a split page table lock has been introduced.
The split lock has a per-table lock for the PTE and PMD tables. If
split lock is disabled, all tables are guarded by
`mm-&gt;page_table_lock` (for user processes). Split page table locks are
not used for init_mm.

MHP operations is typically synchronized using
`DEFINE_STATIC_PERCPU_RWSEM(mem_hotplug_lock)`.

Actors
------

The following non-MHP actors in the kernel traverses (read), and/or
modifies the kernel PGD.

 * `ptdump`

   Walks the entire `init_mm`, via `ptdump_walk_pgd()` with the
   `mmap_write_lock(init_mm)` taken.

   Observation: ptdump can race with MHP, and needs additional locking
   to avoid crashes/races.

 * `set_direct_*` / `arch/riscv/mm/pageattr.c`

   The `set_direct_*` functionality is used to "synchronize" the
   direct map to other kernel mappings, e.g. modules/kernel text. The
   direct map is using "as large huge table mappings as possible",
   which means that the `set_direct_*` might need to split the direct
   map.

  The `set_direct_*` functions operates with the
  `mmap_write_lock(init_mm)` taken.

  Observation: `set_direct_*` uses the direct map, but will never
  modify the same entry as MHP. If there is a mapping, that entry will
  never race with MHP. Further, MHP acts when memory is offline.

 * HVO / `mm/hugetlb_vmemmap`

   HVO optimizes the backing `struct page` for hugetlb pages, which
   means changing the "vmemmap" region. HVO can split (merge?) a
   vmemmap pmd. However, it will never race with MHP, since HVO only
   operates at online memory. HVO cannot touch memory being MHP added
   or removed.

 * `apply_to_page_range`

   Walks a range, creates pages and applies a callback (setting
   permissions) for the page.

   When creating a table, it might use `int __pte_alloc_kernel(pmd_t
   *pmd)` which takes the `init_mm.page_table_lock` to synchronize pmd
   populate.

   Used by: `mm/vmalloc.c` and `mm/kasan/shadow.c`. The KASAN callback
   takes the `init_mm.page_table_lock` to synchronize pte creation.

   Observations: `apply_to_page_range` applies to the "vmalloc/ioremap
   space" region, and "kasan" region. *Not* affected by MHP.

 * `apply_to_existing_page_range`

   Walks a range, applies a callback (setting permissions) for the
   page (no page creation).

   Used by: `kernel/bpf/arena.c` and `mm/kasan/shadow.c`. The KASAN
   callback takes the `init_mm.page_table_lock` to synchronize pte
   creation. *Not* affected by MHP regions.

 * `apply_to_existing_page_range` applies to the "vmalloc/ioremap
   space" region, and "kasan" region. *Not* affected by MHP regions.

 *  `ioremap_page_range` and `vmap_page_range`

    Uses the same internal function, and might create table entries at
    the "vmalloc/ioremap space" region. Can call
    `__pte_alloc_kernel()` which takes the `init_mm.page_table_lock`
    synchronizing pmd populate in the region. *Not* affected by MHP
    regions.

Summary:
  * MHP add will never modify the same page table entries, as any of
    the other actors.
  * MHP remove is done when memory is offlined, and will not clash
    with any of the actors.
  * Functions that walk the entire kernel page table need
    synchronization

  * It's sufficient to add the MHP lock ptdump.

Testing
=======

This series adds basic DT supported hotplugging. There is a QEMU
series enabling MHP for the RISC-V "virt" machine here: [1]

ACPI/MSI support is still in the making for RISC-V, and prior proper
(ACPI) PCI MSI support lands [2] and NUMA SRAT support [3], it hard to
try it out.

I've prepared a QEMU branch with proper ACPI GED/PC-DIMM support [4],
and a this series with the required prerequisites [5] (AIA, ACPI AIA
MADT, ACPI NUMA SRAT).

To test with virtio-mem, e.g.:
  | qemu-system-riscv64 \
  |     -machine virt,aia=aplic-imsic \
  |     -cpu rv64,v=true,vlen=256,elen=64,h=true,zbkb=on,zbkc=on,zbkx=on,zkr=on,zkt=on,svinval=on,svnapot=on,svpbmt=on \
  |     -nodefaults \
  |     -nographic -smp 8 -kernel rv64-u-boot.bin \
  |     -drive file=rootfs.img,format=raw,if=virtio \
  |     -device virtio-rng-pci \
  |     -m 16G,slots=3,maxmem=32G \
  |     -object memory-backend-ram,id=mem0,size=16G \
  |     -numa node,nodeid=0,memdev=mem0 \
  |     -serial chardev:char0 \
  |     -mon chardev=char0,mode=readline \
  |     -chardev stdio,mux=on,id=char0 \
  |     -device pci-serial,id=serial0,chardev=char0 \
  |     -object memory-backend-ram,id=vmem0,size=2G \
  |     -device virtio-mem-pci,id=vm0,memdev=vmem0,node=0

where "rv64-u-boot.bin" is U-boot with EFI/ACPI-support (use [6] if
you're lazy).

In the QEMU monitor:
  | (qemu) info memory-devices
  | (qemu) qom-set vm0 requested-size 1G

...to test DAX/KMEM, use the follow QEMU parameters:
  |  -object memory-backend-file,id=mem1,share=on,mem-path=virtio_pmem.img,size=4G \
  |  -device virtio-pmem-pci,memdev=mem1,id=nv1

and the regular ndctl/daxctl dance.

If you're brave to try the ACPI branch, add "acpi=on" to "-machine
virt", and test PC-DIMM MHP (in addition to virtio-{p},mem):

In the QEMU monitor:
  | (qemu) object_add memory-backend-ram,id=mem1,size=1G
  | (qemu) device_add pc-dimm,id=dimm1,memdev=mem1

You can also try hot-remove with some QEMU options, say:
  | -object memory-backend-file,id=mem-1,size=256M,mem-path=/pagesize-2MB
  | -device pc-dimm,id=mem1,memdev=mem-1
  | -object memory-backend-file,id=mem-2,size=1G,mem-path=/pagesize-1GB
  | -device pc-dimm,id=mem2,memdev=mem-2
  | -object memory-backend-file,id=mem-3,size=256M,mem-path=/pagesize-2MB
  | -device pc-dimm,id=mem3,memdev=mem-3

Remove "acpi=on" to run with DT.

Thanks to Alex, Andrew, David, and Oscar for all
comments/tests/fixups.

ZONE_DEVICE pages need DEVMAP PTEs support to function
(ARCH_HAS_PTE_DEVMAP). Claim another RSW (reserved for software) bit
in the PTE for DEVMAP mark, add the corresponding helpers, and enable
ARCH_HAS_PTE_DEVMAP for riscv64.

Prepare for memory hotplugging support by changing from __init to
__meminit for the page table functions that are used by the upcoming
architecture specific callbacks.

Changing the __init attribute to __meminit, avoids that the functions
are removed after init. The __meminit attribute makes sure the
functions are kept in the kernel text post init, but only if memory
hotplugging is enabled for the build.

Like other architectures, a pte is accessible if it is present or if
there is a pending tlb flush and the pte is protnone (which could be the
case when a pte is downgraded to protnone before a flush tlb is
executed).

Samuel Holland &lt;samuel.holland@sifive.com&gt; says:

This series optimizes access_ok() by defining TASK_SIZE_MAX. At Alex's
suggestion, I also tried making TASK_SIZE constant (specifically by
making PGDIR_SHIFT a variable instead of a ternary expression, then
replacing the load with an immediate using ALTERNATIVE). This appeared
to slightly improve performance on some implementations (C906) but
regressed it on others (FU740). So I am leaving further optimizations to
a later series.

* b4-shazam-merge:
  riscv: Define TASK_SIZE_MAX for __access_ok()
  riscv: Remove PGDIR_SIZE_L3 and TASK_SIZE_MIN

Pull mm updates from Andrew Morton:
 "The usual shower of singleton fixes and minor series all over MM,
  documented (hopefully adequately) in the respective changelogs.
  Notable series include:

   - Lucas Stach has provided some page-mapping cleanup/consolidation/
     maintainability work in the series "mm/treewide: Remove pXd_huge()
     API".

   - In the series "Allow migrate on protnone reference with
     MPOL_PREFERRED_MANY policy", Donet Tom has optimized mempolicy's
     MPOL_PREFERRED_MANY mode, yielding almost doubled performance in
     one test.

   - In their series "Memory allocation profiling" Kent Overstreet and
     Suren Baghdasaryan have contributed a means of determining (via
     /proc/allocinfo) whereabouts in the kernel memory is being
     allocated: number of calls and amount of memory.

   - Matthew Wilcox has provided the series "Various significant MM
     patches" which does a number of rather unrelated things, but in
     largely similar code sites.

   - In his series "mm: page_alloc: freelist migratetype hygiene"
     Johannes Weiner has fixed the page allocator's handling of
     migratetype requests, with resulting improvements in compaction
     efficiency.

   - In the series "make the hugetlb migration strategy consistent"
     Baolin Wang has fixed a hugetlb migration issue, which should
     improve hugetlb allocation reliability.

   - Liu Shixin has hit an I/O meltdown caused by readahead in a
     memory-tight memcg. Addressed in the series "Fix I/O high when
     memory almost met memcg limit".

   - In the series "mm/filemap: optimize folio adding and splitting"
     Kairui Song has optimized pagecache insertion, yielding ~10%
     performance improvement in one test.

   - Baoquan He has cleaned up and consolidated the early zone
     initialization code in the series "mm/mm_init.c: refactor
     free_area_init_core()".

	"Remove page_mapping()"
	"More folio compat code removal"

   - David Hildenbrand chipped in with "fs/proc/task_mmu: convert
     hugetlb functions to work on folis".

   - Code consolidation and cleanup work related to GUP's handling of
     hugetlbs in Peter Xu's series "mm/gup: Unify hugetlb, part 2".

   - Rick Edgecombe has developed some fixes to stack guard gaps in the
     series "Cover a guard gap corner case".

   - Jinjiang Tu has fixed KSM's behaviour after a fork+exec in the
     series "mm/ksm: fix ksm exec support for prctl".

   - Baolin Wang has implemented NUMA balancing for multi-size THPs.
     This is a simple first-cut implementation for now. The series is
     "support multi-size THP numa balancing".

<title>riscv: Define TASK_SIZE_MAX for __access_ok()</title>

<id>urn:sha1:ad5643cf2f699989daa85d909403febd6712fccb</id>
<content type='text'>
TASK_SIZE_MAX should be set to a constant value, at least the largest
valid userspace address under any runtime configuration. This optimizes
the check in __access_ok(), which no longer needs to compute the runtime
value of TASK_SIZE. The check does not need to be exact, as long as it
accepts all valid userspace addresses and rejects all valid kernel
addresses; well-behaved programs will never fail the access_ok() check.

For RISC-V, which requires all virtual addresses to be sign extended,
the optimal choice is LONG_MAX because it simplifies the limit
comparison to a sign bit test.

This removes about half of the references to pgtable_l[45]_enabled.
