warnings" from Muhammad Anjum adds that compiler check to selftests code
and fixes the fallout, by removing dead code.

userspace clients of the DAMON_STAT information.
- The 2 patch series "Expand scope of khugepaged anonymous collapse"
from Dev Jain removes some constraints on khubepaged's collapsing of
anon VMAs. It also increases the success rate of MADV_COLLAPSE against
an anon vma.
- The 2 patch series "mm: do not assume file == vma->vm_file in
compat_vma_mmap_prepare()" from Lorenzo Stoakes moves us further towards
removal of file_operations.mmap(). This patchset concentrates upon
clearing up the treatment of stacked filesystems.
- The 6 patch series "mm: Improve mlock tracking for large folios" from
Kiryl Shutsemau provides some fixes and improvements to mlock's tracking
of large folios. /proc/meminfo's "Mlocked" field became more accurate.

during fork" from Donet Tom fixes several user-visible KSM stats
inaccuracies across forks and adds selftest code to verify these

Commit 8211dad627 ("s390: add pte_free_defer() for pgtables sharing
page") added a warning to pte_free_defer(), on our request. It was meant
to warn if this would ever be reached for KVM guest mappings, because
the page table would be freed w/o a gmap_unlink(). THP mappings are not
allowed for KVM guests on s390, so this should never happen.
However, it is possible that the warning is triggered in a valid case as
false-positive.
s390_enable_sie() takes the mmap_lock, marks all VMAs as VM_NOHUGEPAGE and
splits possibly existing THP guest mappings. mm->context.has_pgste is set
to 1 before that, to prevent races with the mm_has_pgste() check in
MADV_HUGEPAGE.
khugepaged drops the mmap_lock for file mappings and might run in parallel,
before a vma is marked VM_NOHUGEPAGE, but after mm->context.has_pgste was
set to 1. If it finds file mappings to collapse, it will eventually call
pte_free_defer(). This will trigger the warning, but it is a valid case
because gmap is not yet set up, and the THP mappings will be split again.
Therefore, remove the warning and the comment.

Patch series "Always call constructor for kernel page tables", v2.
There has been much confusion around exactly when page table
constructors/destructors (pagetable_*_[cd]tor) are supposed to be called.
They were initially introduced for user PTEs only (to support split page
table locks), then at the PMD level for the same purpose. Accounting was
added later on, starting at the PTE level and then moving to higher levels
(PMD, PUD). Finally, with my earlier series "Account page tables at all
levels" [1], the ctor/dtor is run for all levels, all the way to PGD.
I thought this was the end of the story, and it hopefully is for user
pgtables, but I was wrong for what concerns kernel pgtables. The current
situation there makes very little sense:
* At the PTE level, the ctor/dtor is not called (at least in the generic
implementation). Specific helpers are used for kernel pgtables at this
level (pte_{alloc,free}_kernel()) and those have never called the
ctor/dtor, most likely because they were initially irrelevant in the
kernel case.
* At all other levels, the ctor/dtor is normally called. This is
potentially wasteful at the PMD level (more on that later).
This series aims to ensure that the ctor/dtor is always called for kernel
pgtables, as it already is for user pgtables. Besides consistency, the
main motivation is to guarantee that ctor/dtor hooks are systematically
called; this makes it possible to insert hooks to protect page tables [2],
for instance. There is however an extra challenge: split locks are not
used for kernel pgtables, and it would therefore be wasteful to initialise
them (ptlock_init()).
It is worth clarifying exactly when split locks are used. They clearly
are for user pgtables, but as illustrated in commit 61444cde91 ("ARM:
8591/1: mm: use fully constructed struct pages for EFI pgd allocations"),
they also are for special page tables like efi_mm. The one case where
split locks are definitely unused is pgtables owned by init_mm; this is
consistent with the behaviour of apply_to_pte_range().
The approach chosen in this series is therefore to pass the mm associated
to the pgtables being constructed to pagetable_{pte,pmd}_ctor() (patch 1),
and skip ptlock_init() if mm == &init_mm (patch 3 and 7). This makes it
possible to call the PTE ctor/dtor from pte_{alloc,free}_kernel() without
unintended consequences (patch 3). As a result the accounting functions
are now called at all levels for kernel pgtables, and split locks are
never initialised.
In configurations where ptlocks are dynamically allocated (32-bit,
PREEMPT_RT, etc.) and ARCH_ENABLE_SPLIT_PMD_PTLOCK is selected, this
series results in the removal of a kmem_cache allocation for every kernel
PMD. Additionally, for certain architectures that do not use
<asm-generic/pgalloc.h> such as s390, the same optimisation occurs at the
PTE level.
===
Things get more complicated when it comes to special pgtable allocators
(patch 8-12). All architectures need such allocators to create initial
kernel pgtables; we are not concerned with those as the ctor cannot be
called so early in the boot sequence. However, those allocators may also
be used later in the boot sequence or during normal operations. There are
two main use-cases:
1. Mapping EFI memory: efi_mm (arm, arm64, riscv)
2. arch_add_memory(): init_mm
The ctor is already explicitly run (at the PTE/PMD level) in the first
case, as required for pgtables that are not associated with init_mm.
However the same allocators may also be used for the second use-case (or
others), and this is where it gets messy. Patch 1 calls the ctor with
NULL as mm in those situations, as the actual mm isn't available.
Practically this means that ptlocks will be unconditionally initialised.
This is fine on arm - create_mapping_late() is only used for the EFI
mapping. On arm64, __create_pgd_mapping() is also used by
arch_add_memory(); patch 8/9/11 ensure that ctors are called at all levels
with the appropriate mm. The situation is similar on riscv, but
propagating the mm down to the ctor would require significant refactoring.
Since they are already called unconditionally, this series leaves riscv
no worse off - patch 10 adds comments to clarify the situation.
From a cursory look at other architectures implementing arch_add_memory(),
s390 and x86 may also need a similar treatment to add constructor calls.
This is to be taken care of in a future version or as a follow-up.
===
The complications in those special pgtable allocators beg the question:
does it really make sense to treat efi_mm and init_mm differently in e.g.
apply_to_pte_range()? Maybe what we really need is a way to tell if an mm
corresponds to user memory or not, and never use split locks for non-user
mm's. Feedback and suggestions welcome!
This patch (of 12):
In preparation for calling constructors for all kernel page tables while
eliding unnecessary ptlock initialisation, let's pass down the associated
mm to the PTE/PMD level ctors. (These are the two levels where ptlocks
are used.)
In most cases the mm is already around at the point of calling the ctor so
we simply pass it down. This is however not the case for special page
table allocators:
* arch/arm/mm/mmu.c
* arch/arm64/mm/mmu.c
* arch/riscv/mm/init.c
In those cases, the page tables being allocated are either for standard
kernel memory (init_mm) or special page directories, which may not be
associated to any mm. For now let's pass NULL as mm; this will be refined
where possible in future patches.
No functional change in this patch.

The pointer to the mm_struct which is passed to __crst_table_upgrade() may
only be dereferenced if it is identical to current->active_mm. Otherwise
the current task has no reference to the mm_struct and it may already be
freed. In such a case this would result in a use-after-free bug.
Make sure this use-after-free scenario does not happen by moving the code,
which dereferences the mm_struct pointer, after the check which verifies
that the pointer is identical to current->active_mm, like it was before
lazy ASCE handling was reimplemented.

Reduce system call overhead time (round trip time for invoking a
non-existent system call) by 25%.
With the removal of set_fs() [1] lazy control register handling was removed
in order to keep kernel entry and exit simple. However this made system
calls slower.
With the conversion to generic entry [2] and numerous follow up changes
which simplified the entry code significantly, adding support for lazy asce
handling doesn't add much complexity to the entry code anymore.
In particular this means:
- On kernel entry the primary asce is not modified and contains the user
asce
- Kernel accesses which require secondary-space mode (for example futex
operations) are surrounded by enable_sacf_uaccess() and
disable_sacf_uaccess() calls. enable_sacf_uaccess() sets the primary asce
to kernel asce so that the sacf instruction can be used to switch to
secondary-space mode. The primary asce is changed back to user asce with
disable_sacf_uaccess().
The state of the control register which contains the primary asce is
reflected with a new TIF_ASCE_PRIMARY bit. This is required on context
switch so that the correct asce is restored for the scheduled in process.
In result address spaces are now setup like this:
CPU running in | %cr1 ASCE | %cr7 ASCE | %cr13 ASCE
-----------------------------|-----------|-----------|-----------
user space | user | user | kernel
kernel (no sacf) | user | user | kernel
kernel (during sacf uaccess) | kernel | user | kernel
kernel (kvm guest execution) | guest | user | kernel
In result cr1 control register content is not changed except for:
- futex system calls
- legacy s390 PCI system calls

Remove the not needed "vm/allocate_pgste" sysctl. It has no effect
anymore. However this is a user space visible change. It shouldn't cause
any problems, however if it does this needs to be partially reverted.
Note that some distributions set
vm/allocate_pgste=1
in one of the various sysctl configuration files. Besides a warning about
the (now) non-existent procfs file this doesn't cause any problems.

Until now, every dat table allocated to map a guest was put in a
linked list. The page->lru field of struct page was used to keep track
of which pages were being used, and when the gmap is torn down, the
list was walked and all pages freed.
This patch gets rid of the usage of page->lru. Page tables are now
freed by recursively walking the dat table tree.
Since s390_unlist_old_asce() becomes useless now, remove it.

Add the const qualifier to all the ctl_tables in the tree except for
watchdog_hardlockup_sysctl, memory_allocation_profiling_sysctls,
loadpin_sysctl_table and the ones calling register_net_sysctl (./net,
drivers/inifiniband dirs). These are special cases as they use a
registration function with a non-const qualified ctl_table argument or
modify the arrays before passing them on to the registration function.
Constifying ctl_table structs will prevent the modification of
proc_handler function pointers as the arrays would reside in .rodata.
This is made possible after commit 78eb4ea25c ("sysctl: treewide:
constify the ctl_table argument of proc_handlers") constified all the
proc_handlers.

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.

crst_table_free() used to work with NULL pointers before the conversion
to ptdescs. Since crst_table_free() can be called with a NULL pointer
(error handling in crst_table_upgrade() add an explicit check.
Also add the same check to base_crst_free() for consistency reasons.
In real life this should not happen, since order two GFP_KERNEL
allocations will not fail, unless FAIL_PAGE_ALLOC is enabled and used.

Cease using 4KB pages to host two 2KB PTEs. That greatly
simplifies the memory management code at the expense of
page tables memory footprint.
Instead of two PTEs per 4KB page use only upper half of
the parent page for a single PTE. With that the list of
half-used pages pgtable_list becomes unneeded.
Further, the upper byte of the parent page _refcount
counter does not need to be used for fragments tracking
and could be left alone.
Commit 8211dad627 ("s390: add pte_free_defer() for
pgtables sharing page") introduced the use of PageActive
flag to coordinate a deferred free with 2KB page table
fragments tracking. Since there is no tracking anymore,
there is no need for using PageActive flag.

In order to be usable for early boot code move the simple
arch_set_page_dat() function to header file, and add its counter-part
arch_set_page_nodat(). Also change the parameters, and the function name
slightly.
This is required since there aren't any struct pages available in early
boot code, and renaming of functions is done to make sure that all users
are converted to the new API.
Instead of a pointer to a struct page a virtual address is passed, and
instead of an order the number of pages for which the page state needs be
set.

If the cmma no-dat feature is available all pages that are not used for
dynamic address translation are marked as "no-dat" with the ESSA
instruction. This information is visible to the hypervisor, so that the
hypervisor can optimize purging of guest TLB entries. This also means that
pages which are used for dynamic address translation must not be marked as
"no-dat", since the hypervisor may then incorrectly not purge guest TLB
entries.
Region, segment, and page tables allocated within the gmap code are
incorrectly marked as "no-dat", since an explicit call to
arch_set_page_dat() is missing, which would remove the "no-dat" mark.
In order to fix this add a new gmap_alloc_crst() function which should
be used to allocate region and segment tables, and which also calls
arch_set_page_dat().
Also add the arch_set_page_dat() call to page_table_alloc_pgste().

This commit comes at the tail end of a greater effort to remove the
empty elements at the end of the ctl_table arrays (sentinels) which will
reduce the overall build time size of the kernel and run time memory
bloat by ~64 bytes per sentinel (further information Link :
https://lore.kernel.org/all/ZO5Yx5JFogGi%2FcBo@bombadil.infradead.org/)
Remove the sentinel element from appldata_table, s390dbf_table,
topology_ctl_table, cmm_table and page_table_sysctl. Reduced the memory
allocation in appldata_register_ops by 1 effectively removing the
sentinel from ops->ctl_table.
This removal is safe because register_sysctl_sz and register_sysctl use
the array size in addition to checking for the sentinel.

Add local and system prefix to some functions to clarify they change
control register contents on either the local CPU or the on all CPUs.
This results in the following API:
Two defines which load and save multiple control registers.
The defines correlate with the following C prototypes:
void __local_ctl_load(unsigned long *, unsigned int cr_low, unsigned int cr_high);
void __local_ctl_store(unsigned long *, unsigned int cr_low, unsigned int cr_high);
Two functions which locally set or clear one bit for a specified
control register:
void local_ctl_set_bit(unsigned int cr, unsigned int bit);
void local_ctl_clear_bit(unsigned int cr, unsigned int bit);
Two functions which set or clear one bit for a specified control

Add s390-specific pte_free_defer(), to free table page via call_rcu().
pte_free_defer() will be called inside khugepaged's retract_page_tables()
loop, where allocating extra memory cannot be relied upon. This precedes
the generic version to avoid build breakage from incompatible pgtable_t.
This version is more complicated than others: because s390 fits two 2K
page tables into one 4K page (so page->rcu_head must be shared between
both halves), and already uses page->lru (which page->rcu_head overlays)
to list any free halves; with clever management by page->_refcount bits.
Build upon the existing management, adjusted to follow a new rule: that a
page is never on the free list if pte_free_defer() was used on either half
(marked by PageActive). And for simplicity, delay calling RCU until both
halves are freed.
Not adding back unallocated fragments to the list in pte_free_defer() can
result in wasting some amount of memory for pagetables, depending on how
long the allocated fragment will stay in use. In practice, this effect is
expected to be insignificant, and not justify a far more complex approach,
which might allow to add the fragments back later in __tlb_remove_table(),
where we might not have a stable mm any more.

There is a race on concurrent 2KB-pgtables release paths when
both upper and lower halves of the containing parent page are
freed, one via page_table_free_rcu() + __tlb_remove_table(),
and the other via page_table_free(). The race might lead to a
corruption as result of remove of list item in page_table_free()
concurrently with __free_page() in __tlb_remove_table().
Let's assume first the lower and next the upper 2KB-pgtables are
freed from a page. Since both halves of the page are allocated
the tracking byte (bits 24-31 of the page _refcount) has value
of 0x03 initially:
CPU0 CPU1
---- ----
page_table_free_rcu() // lower half
{
// _refcount[31..24] == 0x03
...
atomic_xor_bits(&page->_refcount,
0x11U << (0 + 24));
// _refcount[31..24] <= 0x12
...
table = table | (1U << 0);
tlb_remove_table(tlb, table);
}
...
__tlb_remove_table()
{
// _refcount[31..24] == 0x12
mask = _table & 3;
// mask <= 0x01
...
page_table_free() // upper half
{
// _refcount[31..24] == 0x12
...
atomic_xor_bits(
&page->_refcount,
1U << (1 + 24));
// _refcount[31..24] <= 0x10
// mask <= 0x10
...
atomic_xor_bits(&page->_refcount,
mask << (4 + 24));
// _refcount[31..24] <= 0x00
// mask <= 0x00
...
if (mask != 0) // == false
break;
fallthrough;
...
if (mask & 3) // == false
...
else
__free_page(page); list_del(&page->lru);
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ RACE! ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
} ...
}
The problem is page_table_free() releases the page as result of
lower nibble unset and __tlb_remove_table() observing zero too
early. With this update page_table_free() will use the similar
logic as page_table_free_rcu() + __tlb_remove_table(), and mark
the fragment as pending for removal in the upper nibble until
after the list_del().
In other words, the parent page is considered as unreferenced and
safe to release only when the lower nibble is cleared already and
unsetting a bit in upper nibble results in that nibble turned zero.

Remove set_fs support from s390. With doing this rework address space
handling and simplify it. As a result address spaces are now setup
like this:
CPU running in | %cr1 ASCE | %cr7 ASCE | %cr13 ASCE
----------------------------|-----------|-----------|-----------
user space | user | user | kernel
kernel, normal execution | kernel | user | kernel
kernel, kvm guest execution | gmap | user | kernel
To achieve this the getcpu vdso syscall is removed in order to avoid
secondary address mode and a separate vdso address space in for user
space. The getcpu vdso syscall will be implemented differently with a
subsequent patch.
The kernel accesses user space always via secondary address space.
This happens in different ways:
- with mvcos in home space mode and directly read/write to secondary
address space
- with mvcs/mvcp in primary space mode and copy from primary space to
secondary space or vice versa
- with e.g. cs in secondary space mode and access secondary space
Switching translation modes happens with sacf before and after
instructions which access user space, like before.
Lazy handling of control register reloading is removed in the hope to
make everything simpler, but at the cost of making kernel entry and
exit a bit slower. That is: on kernel entry the primary asce is always
changed to contain the kernel asce, and on kernel exit the primary
asce is changed again so it contains the user asce.
In kernel mode there is only one exception to the primary asce: when
kvm guests are executed the primary asce contains the gmap asce (which
describes the guest address space). The primary asce is reset to
kernel asce whenever kvm guest execution is interrupted, so that this
doesn't has to be taken into account for any user space accesses.
