<title>mm: call ctor/dtor for kernel PTEs</title>

<id>urn:sha1:49f5996664201a3581ee5ea5949ee7d5fafb9d86</id>
<content type='text'>
Since [1], constructors/destructors are expected to be called for all page
table pages, at all levels and for both user and kernel pgtables.  There
is however one glaring exception: kernel PTEs are managed via separate
helpers (pte_alloc_kernel/pte_free_kernel), which do not call the [cd]tor,
at least not in the generic implementation.

The most obvious reason for this anomaly is that init_mm is special-cased
not to use split page table locks.  As a result calling ptlock_init() for
PTEs associated with init_mm would be wasteful, potentially resulting in
dynamic memory allocation.  However, pgtable [cd]tors perform other
actions - currently related to accounting/statistics, and potentially more
functionally significant in the future.

Now that pagetable_pte_ctor() is passed the associated mm, we can make it
skip the call to ptlock_init() for init_mm; this allows us to call the
ctor from pte_alloc_one_kernel() too.  This is matched by a call to the
pgtable destructor in pte_free_kernel(); no special-casing is needed on
that path, as ptlock_free() is already called unconditionally. 
(ptlock_free() is a no-op unless a ptlock was allocated for the given
PTP.)

This patch ensures that all architectures that rely on
&lt;asm-generic/pgalloc.h&gt; call the [cd]tor for kernel PTEs. 
pte_free_kernel() cannot be overridden so changing the generic
implementation is sufficient.  pte_alloc_one_kernel() can be overridden
using __HAVE_ARCH_PTE_ALLOC_ONE_KERNEL, and a few architectures implement
it by calling the page allocator directly.  We amend those so that they
call the generic __pte_alloc_one_kernel() instead, if possible, ensuring
that the ctor is called.

A few architectures do not use &lt;asm-generic/pgalloc.h&gt;; those will be
taken care of separately.

The microblaze's implementation of pte_alloc_one_kernel() used
memblock_alloc_try_nid_raw() along with clear_page() to allocated a zeroed
page during early setup.

Replace calls of these functions with a call to memblock_alloc_try_nid()
that already returns zeroed page and respects the same allocation limits
as memblock_alloc_try_nid_raw().

While on it drop early_get_page() wrapper that was only used in
pte_alloc_one_kernel().

The replacement of &lt;asm/pgrable.h&gt; with &lt;linux/pgtable.h&gt; made the include
of the latter in the middle of asm includes.  Fix this up with the aid of
the below script and manual adjustments here and there.

	import sys
	import re

	if len(sys.argv) is not 3:
	    print "USAGE: %s &lt;file&gt; &lt;header&gt;" % (sys.argv[0])
	    sys.exit(1)

	hdr_to_move="#include &lt;linux/%s&gt;" % sys.argv[2]
	moved = False
	in_hdrs = False

	with open(sys.argv[1], "r") as f:
	    lines = f.readlines()
	    for _line in lines:
		line = _line.rstrip('
')
		if line == hdr_to_move:
		    continue
		if line.startswith("#include &lt;linux/"):
		    in_hdrs = True
		elif not moved and in_hdrs:
		    moved = True

The include/linux/pgtable.h is going to be the home of generic page table
manipulation functions.

Start with moving asm-generic/pgtable.h to include/linux/pgtable.h and
make the latter include asm/pgtable.h.

microblaze has only two-level page tables and can use pgtable-nopmd and
folding of the upper layers.

Replace usage of include/asm-generic/4level-fixup.h and explicit
definition of __PAGETABLE_PMD_FOLDED in microblaze with
include/asm-generic/pgtable-nopmd.h and adjust page table manipulation
macros and functions accordingly.

<content type='text'>
Patch series "mm: remove quicklist page table caches".

A while ago Nicholas proposed to remove quicklist page table caches [1].

I've rebased his patch on the curren upstream and switched ia64 and sh to
use generic versions of PTE allocation.

[1] https://lore.kernel.org/linux-mm/20190711030339.20892-1-npiggin@gmail.com

This patch (of 3):

Remove page table allocator "quicklists".  These have been around for a
long time, but have not got much traction in the last decade and are only
used on ia64 and sh architectures.

The numbers in the initial commit look interesting but probably don't
apply anymore.  If anybody wants to resurrect this it's in the git
history, but it's unhelpful to have this code and divergent allocator
behaviour for minor archs.

Also it might be better to instead make more general improvements to page
allocator if this is still so slow.

<content type='text'>
%pF and %pf are functionally equivalent to %pS and %ps conversion
specifiers. The former are deprecated, therefore switch the current users
to use the preferred variant.

The changes have been produced by the following command:

	git grep -l '%p[fF]' | grep -v '^\(tools\|Documentation\)/' | \
	while read i; do perl -i -pe 's/%pf/%ps/g; s/%pF/%pS/g;' $i; done

And verifying the result.

Patch series "Add support for fast mremap".

This series speeds up the mremap(2) syscall by copying page tables at
the PMD level even for non-THP systems.  There is concern that the extra
'address' argument that mremap passes to pte_alloc may do something
subtle architecture related in the future that may make the scheme not
work.  Also we find that there is no point in passing the 'address' to
pte_alloc since its unused.  This patch therefore removes this argument
tree-wide resulting in a nice negative diff as well.  Also ensuring
along the way that the enabled architectures do not do anything funky
with the 'address' argument that goes unnoticed by the optimization.

Build and boot tested on x86-64.  Build tested on arm64.  The config
enablement patch for arm64 will be posted in the future after more
testing.

The changes were obtained by applying the following Coccinelle script.
(thanks Julia for answering all Coccinelle questions!).
Following fix ups were done manually:
* Removal of address argument from  pte_fragment_alloc
* Removal of pte_alloc_one_fast definitions from m68k and microblaze.

// Options: --include-headers --no-includes
// Note: I split the 'identifier fn' line, so if you are manually
// running it, please unsplit it so it runs for you.

The missing 'volatile' keyword on the iounmap argument leads to lots of
harmless warnings in an allmodconfig build:

sound/pci/echoaudio/echoaudio.c:1879:10: warning: passing argument 1 of 'iounmap' discards 'volatile' qualifier from pointer target type [-Wdiscarded-qualifiers]
