Merge tag 'slab-for-6.18' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/vbabka/slab
Pull slab updates from Vlastimil Babka:
- A new layer for caching objects for allocation and free via percpu
arrays called sheaves.
The aim is to combine the good parts of SLAB (lower-overhead and
simpler percpu caching, compared to SLUB) without the past issues
with arrays for freeing remote NUMA node objects and their flushing.
It also allows more efficient kfree_rcu(), and cheaper object
preallocations for cases where the exact number of objects is
unknown, but an upper bound is.
Currently VMAs and maple nodes are using this new caching, with a
plan to enable it for all caches and remove the complex SLUB fastpath
based on cpu (partial) slabs and this_cpu_cmpxchg_double().
(Vlastimil Babka, with Liam Howlett and Pedro Falcato for the maple
tree changes)
- Re-entrant kmalloc_nolock(), which allows opportunistic allocations
from NMI and tracing/kprobe contexts.
Building on prior page allocator and memcg changes, it will result in
removing BPF-specific caches on top of slab (Alexei Starovoitov)
- Various fixes and cleanups. (Kuan-Wei Chiu, Matthew Wilcox, Suren
Baghdasaryan, Ye Liu)

The slab changes for sheaves requires more effort in the testing code.
Unite all the kmem_cache work into the tools/include slab header for
both the vma and maple tree testing.
The vma test code also requires importing more #defines to allow for
seamless use of the shared kmem_cache code.
This adds the pthread header to the slab header in the tools directory
to allow for the pthread_mutex in linux.c.

The kernel's CFI implementation uses the KCFI ABI specifically, and is
not strictly tied to a particular compiler. In preparation for GCC
supporting KCFI, rename CONFIG_CFI_CLANG to CONFIG_CFI (along with
associated options).
Use new "transitional" Kconfig option for old CONFIG_CFI_CLANG that will
enable CONFIG_CFI during olddefconfig.

Patch series "tools: testing: Use existing atomic.h for vma/maple tests",
v2.
De-duplicating this lets us delete a bit of code.
Ulterior motive: I'm working on a new set of the userspace-based unit
tests, which will need the atomics API too. That would involve even more
duplication, so while the win in this patchset alone is very minimal, it
looks a lot more significant with my other WIP patchset.
I've tested these commands:
make -C tools/testing/vma -j
tools/testing/vma/vma
make -C tools/testing/radix-tree -j
tools/testing/radix-tree/maple
Note the EXTRA_CFLAGS patch is actually orthogonal, let me know if you'd
prefer I send it separately.
This patch (of 4):
The VMA tests need an operation equivalent to atomic_inc_unless_negative()
to implement a fake mapping_map_writable(). Adding it will enable them to
switch to the shared atomic headers and simplify that fake implementation.
In order to add that, also add atomic_try_cmpxchg() which can be used to
implement it. This is copied from Documentation/atomic_t.txt. Then,
implement atomic_inc_unless_negative() itself based on the
raw_atomic_dec_unless_positive() in
include/linux/atomic/atomic-arch-fallback.h.
There's no present need for a highly-optimised version of this (nor any
reason to think this implementation is sub-optimal on x86) so just
implement this with generic C, no x86-specifics.

perf test: Fix a build error in x86 topdown test
Commit 857d18f23a ("cleanup: Introduce ACQUIRE() and ACQUIRE_ERR() for
conditional locks") accidentally broke the radix tree, VMA userland tests
by including linux/args.h which is not present in the tools/include
directory.
This patch copies this over and adds an #ifdef block to avoid duplicate
__CONCAT declaration in conflict with system headers when we ultimately
include this.

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 founf to be incorrect.
- The 4 patch series "Some cleanup for memcg" from Chen Ridong
implements some relatively monir cleanups for the memcontrol code.
- The 17 patch 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 2 patch 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 5 patch series "mm: further simplify VMA merge operation" from
Lorenzo Stoakes implements numerous simplifications in this area. No
runtime effects are anticipated.
- The 4 patch 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 12 patch 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 2 patch series "mm: kmemleak: Usability improvements" from Catalin
Marinas implements a couple of improvements to the kmemleak user-visible
output.
- The 2 patch 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 3 patch 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 3 patch 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 4 patch 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 4 patch 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 4 patch 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 18 patch 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 5 patch series "Docs/mm/damon: misc DAMOS filters documentation
fixes and improves" from SeongJae Park does some maintenance work on the
DAMON docs.
- The 27 patch 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 2 patch 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 19 patch series "zsmalloc/zram: there be preemption" from Sergey
Senozhatsky teaches zram to run its compression and decompression
operations preemptibly.
- The 12 patch 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 2 patch 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 7 patch 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 5 patch series "mm: cleanups for device-exclusive entries (hmm)"
from David Hildenbrand implements a number of unrelated cleanups in this
code.
- The 5 patch series "mm: Rework generic PTDUMP configs" from Anshuman
Khandual implements a number of preparatoty cleanups to the
GENERIC_PTDUMP Kconfig logic.
- The 8 patch series "mm/damon: auto-tune aggregation interval" from
SeongJae Park implements a feedback-driven automatic tuning feature for
DAMON's aggregation interval tuning.
- The 5 patch 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 2 patch series "mm/page_alloc: Some clarifications for migratetype
fallback" from Brendan Jackman reworks some commentary to make the code
easier to follow.
- The 3 patch 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 3 patch 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 3 patch series "Fix calculations in trace_balance_dirty_pages()
for cgwb" from Tang Yizhou fixes the tracing output from the dirty page
balancing code.
- The 9 patch 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 5 patch 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 6 patch series "Some trivial cleanups for shmem" from Baolin Wang
does as it claims.
- The 20 patch 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 4 patch series "refactor mremap and fix bug" from Lorenzo Stoakes
is a preparatoty refactoring and cleanup of the mremap() code.
- The 20 patch 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 8 patch 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 13 patch 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 13 patch 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 3 patch 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 8 patch 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 2 patch 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 2 patch series "drivers/base/memory: Two cleanups" from Gavin Shan
performs some maintenance work on the drivers/base/memory code.
- The 3 patch series "Add tracepoints for lowmem reserves, watermarks
and totalreserve_pages" from Martin Liu adds some more tracepoints to
the page allocator code.
- The 4 patch series "mm/madvise: cleanup requests validations and
classifications" from SeongJae Park cleans up some warts which SeongJae
observed during his earlier madvise work.
- The 3 patch series "mm/hwpoison: Fix regressions in memory failure
handling" from Shuai Xue addresses two quite serious regressions which
Shuai has observed in the memory-failure implementation.
- The 5 patch series "mm: reliable huge page allocator" from Johannes
Weiner makes huge page allocations cheaper and more reliable by reducing
fragmentation.
- The 5 patch series "Minor memcg cleanups & prep for memdescs" from
Matthew Wilcox is preparatory work for the future implementation of
memdescs.

Patch series "lib/interval_tree: add some test cases and cleanup", v2.
Since rbtree/augmented tree/interval tree share similar data structure,
besides new cases for interval tree, this patch set also does cleanup for
others.
This patch (of 7):
Currently we have some tests for rbtree related data structure, e.g.
rbtree, augmented rbtree, interval tree, in lib/ as kernel module.
To facilitate the test and debug for those fundamental data structure,
this patch enable those tests in userland.

To enable SLAB_TYPESAFE_BY_RCU for vma cache we need to ensure that
object reuse before RCU grace period is over will be detected by
lock_vma_under_rcu().
Current checks are sufficient as long as vma is detached before it is
freed. The only place this is not currently happening is in exit_mmap().
Add the missing vma_mark_detached() in exit_mmap().
Another issue which might trick lock_vma_under_rcu() during vma reuse is
vm_area_dup(), which copies the entire content of the vma into a new one,
overriding new vma's vm_refcnt and temporarily making it appear as
attached. This might trick a racing lock_vma_under_rcu() to operate on a
reused vma if it found the vma before it got reused. To prevent this
situation, we should ensure that vm_refcnt stays at detached state (0)
when it is copied and advances to attached state only after it is added
into the vma tree. Introduce vm_area_init_from() which preserves new
vma's vm_refcnt and use it in vm_area_dup(). Since all vmas are in
detached state with no current readers when they are freed,
lock_vma_under_rcu() will not be able to take vm_refcnt after vma got
detached even if vma is reused. vma_mark_attached() in modified to
include a release fence to ensure all stores to the vma happen before
vm_refcnt gets initialized.
Finally, make vm_area_cachep SLAB_TYPESAFE_BY_RCU. This will facilitate
vm_area_struct reuse and will minimize the number of call_rcu() calls.

This patch introduces a new probe to check whether the kernel supports
instruction set extensions v4. The v4 extension comprises several new
instructions: BPF_{SDIV,SMOD} (signed div and mod), BPF_{LD,LDX,ST,STX,MOV}
(sign-extended load/store/move), 32-bit BPF_JA (unconditional jump),
target-independent BPF_ALU64 BSWAP (byte-swapping 16/32/64).
These have been introduced in the following commits respectively:
* ec0e2da95f ("bpf: Support new signed div/mod instructions.")
* 1f9a1ea821 ("bpf: Support new sign-extension load insns")
* 8100928c88 ("bpf: Support new sign-extension mov insns")
* 4cd58e9af8 ("bpf: Support new 32bit offset jmp instruction")
* 0845c3db7b ("bpf: Support new unconditional bswap instruction")
Support in bpftool for previous ISA extensions was added in commit
0fd800b245 ("bpftool: Probe for instruction set extensions"). These
probes are useful for userspace BPF projects that want to use newer
instruction set extensions on newer kernels, to reduce the programs'
sizes or their complexity.
LLVM provides the mcpu=v4 option since LLVM commit 8f28e8069c4b ("[BPF]
support for BPF_ST instruction in codegen") [0].

asm/unaligned.h is always an include of asm-generic/unaligned.h;
might as well move that thing to linux/unaligned.h and include
that - there's nothing arch-specific in that header.

Hook up the generic vDSO implementation to the aarch64 vDSO data page.
The _vdso_rng_data required data is placed within the _vdso_data vvar
page, by using a offset larger than the vdso_data.
The vDSO function requires a ChaCha20 implementation that does not write
to the stack, and that can do an entire ChaCha20 permutation. The one
provided uses NEON on the permute operation, with a fallback to the
syscall for chips that do not support AdvSIMD.
This also passes the vdso_test_chacha test along with
vdso_test_getrandom. The vdso_test_getrandom bench-single result on
Neoverse-N1 shows:
vdso: 25000000 times in 0.783884250 seconds
libc: 25000000 times in 8.780275399 seconds
syscall: 25000000 times in 8.786581518 seconds
A small fixup to arch/arm64/include/asm/mman.h was required to avoid
pulling kernel code into the vDSO, similar to what's already done in
arch/arm64/include/asm/rwonce.h.

This is due to kernel include/linux/limits.h being included instead of
libc's limits.h.
This is because directory include/ is added through option -isystem so
it goes prior to glibc's include directory.
Replace -isystem by -idirafter.
But this implies that now tools/include/linux/linkage.h is included
instead of include/linux/linkage.h, so define a stub for
SYM_FUNC_START() and SYM_FUNC_END().

v0.1 HW_ID packets have a new field that describes which sink each CPU
writes to. Use the sink ID to link trace ID maps to each other so that
mappings are shared wherever the sink is shared.
Also update the error message to show that overlapping IDs aren't an
error in per-thread mode, just not supported. In the future we can
use the CPU ID from the AUX records, or watch for changing sink IDs on
HW_ID packets to use the correct decoders.

During bootup, system may need the number of free pages in the whole system
to do some calculation before all pages are freed to buddy system. Usually
this number is get from totalram_pages(). Since we plan to move the free
pages accounting in __free_pages_core(), this value may not represent
total free pages at the early stage, especially when
CONFIG_DEFERRED_STRUCT_PAGE_INIT is enabled.
Instead of using raw memblock api, let's introduce a new helper for user
to get the estimated number of free pages from memblock point of view.

Commit 1e4c64b71c ("mm/memblock: Add "reserve_mem" to reserved named
memory at boot up") introduce the usage of strscpy, which breaks the
memblock test.
Let's define it as strcpy in userspace to fix it.
