Pull core x86 updates from Ingo Molnar:
"Boot code changes:
- A large series of changes to reorganize the x86 boot code into a
better isolated and easier to maintain base of PIC early startup
code in arch/x86/boot/startup/, by Ard Biesheuvel.
Motivation & background:
| Since commit
|
| c88d71508e36 ("x86/boot/64: Rewrite startup_64() in C")
|
| dated Jun 6 2017, we have been using C code on the boot path in a way
| that is not supported by the toolchain, i.e., to execute non-PIC C
| code from a mapping of memory that is different from the one provided
| to the linker. It should have been obvious at the time that this was a
| bad idea, given the need to sprinkle fixup_pointer() calls left and
| right to manipulate global variables (including non-pointer variables)
| without crashing.
|
| This C startup code has been expanding, and in particular, the SEV-SNP
| startup code has been expanding over the past couple of years, and
| grown many of these warts, where the C code needs to use special
| annotations or helpers to access global objects.
This tree includes the first phase of this work-in-progress x86

Building the kernel with O= is affected by stale in-tree build artifacts.
So, if the source tree is not clean, Kbuild displays the following:
$ make ARCH=um O=build defconfig
make[1]: Entering directory '/.../linux/build'
***
*** The source tree is not clean, please run 'make ARCH=um mrproper'
*** in /.../linux
***
make[2]: *** [/.../linux/Makefile:673: outputmakefile] Error 1
make[1]: *** [/.../linux/Makefile:248: __sub-make] Error 2
make[1]: Leaving directory '/.../linux/build'
make: *** [Makefile:248: __sub-make] Error 2
Usually, running 'make mrproper' is sufficient for cleaning the source
tree for out-of-tree builds.
However, building UML generates build artifacts not only in arch/um/,
but also in the SUBARCH directory (i.e., arch/x86/). If in-tree stale
files remain under arch/x86/, Kbuild will reuse them instead of creating
new ones under the specified build directory.
This commit makes 'make ARCH=um clean' recurse into the SUBARCH directory.

Nathan reported [1] that when built with clang, the um kernel
crashes pretty much immediately. This turned out to be an issue
with the inline assembly I had added, when clang used %rax/%eax
for both operands. Reorder it so current->thread.segv_continue
is written first, and then the lifetime of _faulted won't have
overlap with the lifetime of segv_continue.
In the email thread Benjamin also pointed out that current->mm
is only NULL for true kernel tasks, but we could do this for a
userspace task, so the current->thread.segv_continue logic must
be lifted out of the mm==NULL check.
Finally, while looking at this, put a barrier() so the NULL
assignment to thread.segv_continue cannot be reorder before
the possibly faulting operation.

Now, the nine architectures of csky, hexagon, loongarch, m68k, mips,
nios2, openrisc, sh and um do not select CONFIG_MMU_GATHER_RCU_TABLE_FREE,
and just call pagetable_dtor() + tlb_remove_page_ptdesc() (the wrapper of
tlb_remove_page()). This is the same as the implementation of
tlb_remove_{ptdesc|table}() under !CONFIG_MMU_GATHER_TABLE_FREE, so
convert these architectures to use tlb_remove_ptdesc().
The ultimate goal is to make the architecture only use tlb_remove_ptdesc()
or tlb_remove_table() for page table pages.

Pull MM updates from Andrew Morton:
- The series "Enable strict percpu address space checks" from Uros
Bizjak uses x86 named address space qualifiers to provide
compile-time checking of percpu area accesses.
This has caused a small amount of fallout - two or three issues were
reported. In all cases the calling code was found to be incorrect.
- The series "Some cleanup for memcg" from Chen Ridong implements some
relatively monir cleanups for the memcontrol code.
- The series "mm: fixes for device-exclusive entries (hmm)" from David
Hildenbrand fixes a boatload of issues which David found then using
device-exclusive PTE entries when THP is enabled. More work is
needed, but this makes thins better - our own HMM selftests now
succeed.
- The series "mm: zswap: remove z3fold and zbud" from Yosry Ahmed
remove the z3fold and zbud implementations. They have been deprecated
for half a year and nobody has complained.
- The series "mm: further simplify VMA merge operation" from Lorenzo
Stoakes implements numerous simplifications in this area. No runtime
effects are anticipated.
- The series "mm/madvise: remove redundant mmap_lock operations from
process_madvise()" from SeongJae Park rationalizes the locking in the
madvise() implementation. Performance gains of 20-25% were observed
in one MADV_DONTNEED microbenchmark.
- The series "Tiny cleanup and improvements about SWAP code" from
Baoquan He contains a number of touchups to issues which Baoquan
noticed when working on the swap code.
- The series "mm: kmemleak: Usability improvements" from Catalin
Marinas implements a couple of improvements to the kmemleak
user-visible output.
- The series "mm/damon/paddr: fix large folios access and schemes
handling" from Usama Arif provides a couple of fixes for DAMON's
handling of large folios.
- The series "mm/damon/core: fix wrong and/or useless damos_walk()
behaviors" from SeongJae Park fixes a few issues with the accuracy of
kdamond's walking of DAMON regions.
- The series "expose mapping wrprotect, fix fb_defio use" from Lorenzo
Stoakes changes the interaction between framebuffer deferred-io and
core MM. No functional changes are anticipated - this is preparatory
work for the future removal of page structure fields.
- The series "mm/damon: add support for hugepage_size DAMOS filter"
from Usama Arif adds a DAMOS filter which permits the filtering by
huge page sizes.
- The series "mm: permit guard regions for file-backed/shmem mappings"
from Lorenzo Stoakes extends the guard region feature from its
present "anon mappings only" state. The feature now covers shmem and
file-backed mappings.
- The series "mm: batched unmap lazyfree large folios during
reclamation" from Barry Song cleans up and speeds up the unmapping
for pte-mapped large folios.
- The series "reimplement per-vma lock as a refcount" from Suren
Baghdasaryan puts the vm_lock back into the vma. Our reasons for
pulling it out were largely bogus and that change made the code more
messy. This patchset provides small (0-10%) improvements on one
microbenchmark.
- The series "Docs/mm/damon: misc DAMOS filters documentation fixes and

docs.
- The series "hugetlb/CMA improvements for large systems" from Frank
van der Linden addresses a pile of issues which have been observed
when using CMA on large machines.
- The series "mm/damon: introduce DAMOS filter type for unmapped pages"
from SeongJae Park enables users of DMAON/DAMOS to filter my the
page's mapped/unmapped status.
- The series "zsmalloc/zram: there be preemption" from Sergey
Senozhatsky teaches zram to run its compression and decompression
operations preemptibly.
- The series "selftests/mm: Some cleanups from trying to run them" from
Brendan Jackman fixes a pile of unrelated issues which Brendan
encountered while runnimg our selftests.
- The series "fs/proc/task_mmu: add guard region bit to pagemap" from
Lorenzo Stoakes permits userspace to use /proc/pid/pagemap to
determine whether a particular page is a guard page.
- The series "mm, swap: remove swap slot cache" from Kairui Song
removes the swap slot cache from the allocation path - it simply
wasn't being effective.
- The series "mm: cleanups for device-exclusive entries (hmm)" from
David Hildenbrand implements a number of unrelated cleanups in this
code.
- The series "mm: Rework generic PTDUMP configs" from Anshuman Khandual
implements a number of preparatoty cleanups to the GENERIC_PTDUMP
Kconfig logic.
- The series "mm/damon: auto-tune aggregation interval" from SeongJae
Park implements a feedback-driven automatic tuning feature for
DAMON's aggregation interval tuning.
- The series "Fix lazy mmu mode" from Ryan Roberts fixes some issues in
powerpc, sparc and x86 lazy MMU implementations. Ryan did this in
preparation for implementing lazy mmu mode for arm64 to optimize
vmalloc.
- The series "mm/page_alloc: Some clarifications for migratetype
fallback" from Brendan Jackman reworks some commentary to make the
code easier to follow.
- The series "page_counter cleanup and size reduction" from Shakeel
Butt cleans up the page_counter code and fixes a size increase which
we accidentally added late last year.
- The series "Add a command line option that enables control of how
many threads should be used to allocate huge pages" from Thomas
Prescher does that. It allows the careful operator to significantly
reduce boot time by tuning the parallalization of huge page
initialization.
- The series "Fix calculations in trace_balance_dirty_pages() for cgwb"
from Tang Yizhou fixes the tracing output from the dirty page
balancing code.
- The series "mm/damon: make allow filters after reject filters useful
and intuitive" from SeongJae Park improves the handling of allow and
reject filters. Behaviour is made more consistent and the documention
is updated accordingly.
- The series "Switch zswap to object read/write APIs" from Yosry Ahmed
updates zswap to the new object read/write APIs and thus permits the
removal of some legacy code from zpool and zsmalloc.
- The series "Some trivial cleanups for shmem" from Baolin Wang does as
it claims.
- The series "fs/dax: Fix ZONE_DEVICE page reference counts" from
Alistair Popple regularizes the weird ZONE_DEVICE page refcount
handling in DAX, permittig the removal of a number of special-case
checks.
- The series "refactor mremap and fix bug" from Lorenzo Stoakes is a
preparatoty refactoring and cleanup of the mremap() code.
- The series "mm: MM owner tracking for large folios (!hugetlb) +
CONFIG_NO_PAGE_MAPCOUNT" from David Hildenbrand reworks the manner in
which we determine whether a large folio is known to be mapped
exclusively into a single MM.
- The series "mm/damon: add sysfs dirs for managing DAMOS filters based
on handling layers" from SeongJae Park adds a couple of new sysfs
directories to ease the management of DAMON/DAMOS filters.
- The series "arch, mm: reduce code duplication in mem_init()" from
Mike Rapoport consolidates many per-arch implementations of
mem_init() into code generic code, where that is practical.
- The series "mm/damon/sysfs: commit parameters online via
damon_call()" from SeongJae Park continues the cleaning up of sysfs
access to DAMON internal data.
- The series "mm: page_ext: Introduce new iteration API" from Luiz
Capitulino reworks the page_ext initialization to fix a boot-time
crash which was observed with an unusual combination of compile and
cmdline options.
- The series "Buddy allocator like (or non-uniform) folio split" from
Zi Yan reworks the code to split a folio into smaller folios. The
main benefit is lessened memory consumption: fewer post-split folios
are generated.
- The series "Minimize xa_node allocation during xarry split" from Zi
Yan reduces the number of xarray xa_nodes which are generated during
an xarray split.
- The series "drivers/base/memory: Two cleanups" from Gavin Shan
performs some maintenance work on the drivers/base/memory code.

totalreserve_pages" from Martin Liu adds some more tracepoints to the
page allocator code.

The existing sigio workaround implementation removes FDs from the
poll when events are triggered, requiring users to re-add them via
add_sigio_fd() after processing. This introduces a potential race
condition between FD removal in write_sigio_thread() and next_poll
update in __add_sigio_fd(), and is inefficient due to frequent FD
removal and re-addition. Rewrite the implementation based on epoll
and tgkill for improved efficiency and reliability.

sched_yield by a userspace may not actually cause scheduling in
time-travel mode as no time has passed. In the case seen it appears to
be a badly implemented userspace spinlock in ASAN. Unfortunately, with
time-travel it causes an extreme slowdown or even deadlock depending on
the kernel configuration (CONFIG_UML_MAX_USERSPACE_ITERATIONS).
Work around it by accounting time to the process whenever it executes a
sched_yield syscall.

Mark read-only data actually read-only (simple mprotect), and
to be able to test it also implement _nofault accesses. This
works by setting up a new "segv_continue" pointer in current,
and then when we hit a segfault we change the signal return
context so that we continue at that address. The code using
this sets it up so that it jumps to a label and then aborts
the access that way, returning -EFAULT.
It's possible to optimize the ___backtrack_faulted() thing by
using asm goto (compiler version dependent) and/or gcc's (not
sure if clang has it) &&label extension, but at least in one
attempt I made the && caused the compiler to not load -EFAULT
into the register in case of jumping to the &&label from the
fault handler. So leave it like this for now.

The point where the memory is released from memblock to the buddy
allocator is hidden inside arch-specific mem_init()s and the call to
memblock_free_all() is needlessly duplicated in every artiste cure and
after introduction of arch_mm_preinit() hook, mem_init() implementation on
many architecture only contains the call to memblock_free_all().
Pull memblock_free_all() call into mm_core_init() and drop mem_init() on
relevant architectures to make it more explicit where the free memory is
released from memblock to the buddy allocator and to reduce code
duplication in architecture specific code.

Currently, implementation of mem_init() in every architecture consists of
one or more of the following:
* initializations that must run before page allocator is active, for
instance swiotlb_init()
* a call to memblock_free_all() to release all the memory to the buddy
allocator
* initializations that must run after page allocator is ready and there is
no arch-specific hook other than mem_init() for that, like for example
register_page_bootmem_info() in x86 and sparc64 or simple setting of
mem_init_done = 1 in several architectures
* a bunch of semi-related stuff that apparently had no better place to
live, for example a ton of BUILD_BUG_ON()s in parisc.
Introduce arch_mm_preinit() that will be the first thing called from
mm_core_init(). On architectures that have initializations that must happen
before the page allocator is ready, move those into arch_mm_preinit() along
with the code that does not depend on ordering with page allocator setup.
On several architectures this results in reduction of mem_init() to a
single call to memblock_free_all() that allows its consolidation next.

high_memory defines upper bound on the directly mapped memory. This bound
is defined by the beginning of ZONE_HIGHMEM when a system has high memory
and by the end of memory otherwise.
All this is known to generic memory management initialization code that
can set high_memory while initializing core mm structures.
Add a generic calculation of high_memory to free_area_init() and remove
per-architecture calculation except for the architectures that set and use
high_memory earlier than that.

max_mapnr is essentially the size of the memory map for systems that use
FLATMEM. There is no reason to calculate it in each and every architecture
when it's anyway calculated in alloc_node_mem_map().
Drop setting of max_mapnr from architecture code and set it once in
alloc_node_mem_map().
While on it, move definition of mem_map and max_mapnr to mm/mm_init.c so
there won't be two copies for MMU and !MMU variants.

The stub execution uses the somewhat new close_range and execveat
syscalls. Of these two, the execveat call is essential, but the
close_range call is more about stub process hygiene rather than safety
(and its result is ignored).
Replace both calls with a raw syscall as older machines might not have a
recent enough kernel for close_range (with CLOSE_RANGE_CLOEXEC) or a
libc that does not yet expose both of the syscalls.

Before SLUB initialization, various subsystems used memblock_alloc to
allocate memory. In most cases, when memory allocation fails, an
immediate panic is required. To simplify this behavior and reduce
repetitive checks, introduce `memblock_alloc_or_panic`. This function
ensures that memory allocation failures result in a panic automatically,
improving code readability and consistency across subsystems that require
this behavior.

We already have a generic implementation of alloc/free up to P4D level, as
well as pgd_free(). Let's finish the work and add a generic PGD-level
alloc helper as well.
Unlike at lower levels, almost all architectures need some specific magic
at PGD level (typically initialising PGD entries), so introducing a
generic pgd_alloc() isn't worth it. Instead we introduce two new helpers,
__pgd_alloc() and __pgd_free(), and make use of them in the arch-specific
pgd_alloc() and pgd_free() wherever possible. To accommodate as many arch
as possible, __pgd_alloc() takes a page allocation order.
Because pagetable_alloc() allocates zeroed pages, explicit zeroing in
pgd_alloc() becomes redundant and we can get rid of it. Some trivial
implementations of pgd_free() also become unnecessary once __pgd_alloc()
is used; remove them.
Another small improvement is consistent accounting of PGD pages by using
GFP_PGTABLE_{USER,KERNEL} as appropriate.
Not all PGD allocations can be handled by the generic helpers. In
particular, multiple architectures allocate PGDs from a kmem_cache, and
those PGDs may not be page-sized.

The pagetable_p*_dtor() are exactly the same except for the handling of
ptlock. If we make ptlock_free() handle the case where ptdesc->ptl is
NULL and remove VM_BUG_ON_PAGE() from pmd_ptlock_free(), we can unify
pagetable_p*_dtor() into one function. Let's introduce pagetable_dtor()
to do this.
Later, pagetable_dtor() will be moved to tlb_remove_ptdesc(), so that
ptlock and page table pages can be freed together (regardless of whether
RCU is used). This prevents the use-after-free problem where the ptlock
is freed immediately but the page table pages is freed later via RCU.

Formerly, asm/pgtable.h relied on the implicit inclusion of asm/page.h
and linux/mm_types.h via asm/fixmap.h. With the removal of asm/fixmap.h,
these headers need to be included explicitly in asm/pgtable.h now.

The kernel realtime and the current RTC time may have a (small) offset.
Should the kernel time be slightly in the future, then the timeout is
zero. This is problematic in time-travel mode, as a zero timeout can be
correctly configured and time never advances.
Replace the kernel realtime read with a read of the actual persistent
RTC clock. Also, for time-travel, calculate the exact nanoseconds needed
for the clock to advance.
