[ Upstream commit f9bff0e31881d03badf191d3b0005839391f5f2b ]

Patch series "New page table range API", v6.

This patchset changes the API used by the MM to set up page table entries.
The four APIs are:

    set_ptes(mm, addr, ptep, pte, nr)
    update_mmu_cache_range(vma, addr, ptep, nr)
    flush_dcache_folio(folio)
    flush_icache_pages(vma, page, nr)

flush_dcache_folio() isn't technically new, but no architecture
implemented it, so I've done that for them.  The old APIs remain around
but are mostly implemented by calling the new interfaces.

The new APIs are based around setting up N page table entries at once.
The N entries belong to the same PMD, the same folio and the same VMA, so
ptep++ is a legitimate operation, and locking is taken care of for you.
Some architectures can do a better job of it than just a loop, but I have
hesitated to make too deep a change to architectures I don't understand
well.

One thing I have changed in every architecture is that PG_arch_1 is now a
per-folio bit instead of a per-page bit when used for dcache clean/dirty
tracking.  This was something that would have to happen eventually, and it
makes sense to do it now rather than iterate over every page involved in a
cache flush and figure out if it needs to happen.

The point of all this is better performance, and Fengwei Yin has measured
improvement on x86.  I suspect you'll see improvement on your architecture
too.  Try the new will-it-scale test mentioned here:
https://lore.kernel.org/linux-mm/20230206140639.538867-5-fengwei.yin@intel.com/
You'll need to run it on an XFS filesystem and have
CONFIG_TRANSPARENT_HUGEPAGE set.

This patchset is the basis for much of the anonymous large folio work
being done by Ryan, so it's received quite a lot of testing over the last
few months.

This patch (of 38):

Determine if a value lies within a range more efficiently (subtraction +
comparison vs two comparisons and an AND).  It also has useful (under some
circumstances) behaviour if the range exceeds the maximum value of the
type.  Convert all the conflicting definitions of in_range() within the
kernel; some can use the generic definition while others need their own
definition.

<content type='text'>
The 64 bit ino is being compared to the product of two u32 values,
however, the multiplication is being performed using a 32 bit multiply so
there is a potential of an overflow.  To be fully safe, cast uspi-&gt;s_ncg
to a u64 to ensure a 64 bit multiplication occurs to avoid any chance of
overflow.

Pull y2038 vfs updates from Arnd Bergmann:
 "Add inode timestamp clamping.

  This series from Deepa Dinamani adds a per-superblock minimum/maximum
  timestamp limit for a file system, and clamps timestamps as they are
  written, to avoid random behavior from integer overflow as well as
  having different time stamps on disk vs in memory.

  At mount time, a warning is now printed for any file system that can
  represent current timestamps but not future timestamps more than 30
  years into the future, similar to the arbitrary 30 year limit that was
  added to settimeofday().

  This was picked as a compromise to warn users to migrate to other file
  systems (e.g. ext4 instead of ext3) when they need the file system to
  survive beyond 2038 (or similar limits in other file systems), but not
  get in the way of normal usage"

Fill in the appropriate limits to avoid inconsistencies
in the vfs cached inode times when timestamps are
outside the permitted range.

Even though some filesystems are read-only, fill in the
timestamps to reflect the on-disk representation.
