<id>urn:sha1:e96a2838d8b18a6f5169ecf1d850fcc9c97c9530</id>
<content type='text'>
commit 60295b944ff6805e677c48ae4178532b207d43be upstream.

Tracing tools like perf and trace-cmd read the /sys/kernel/tracing/events/*/*/format
files to know how to parse the data and also how to print it. For the
"print fmt" portion of that file, if anything uses an enum that is not
exported to the tracing system, user space will not be able to parse it.

The GFP flags use to be defines, and defines get translated in the print
fmt sections. But now they are converted to use enums, which is not.

The mm_page_alloc trace event format use to have:

  print fmt: "page=%p pfn=0x%lx order=%d migratetype=%d gfp_flags=%s",
    REC-&gt;pfn != -1UL ? (((struct page *)vmemmap_base) + (REC-&gt;pfn)) : ((void
    *)0), REC-&gt;pfn != -1UL ? REC-&gt;pfn : 0, REC-&gt;order, REC-&gt;migratetype,
    (REC-&gt;gfp_flags) ? __print_flags(REC-&gt;gfp_flags, "|", {( unsigned
    long)(((((((( gfp_t)(0x400u|0x800u)) | (( gfp_t)0x40u) | (( gfp_t)0x80u) |
    (( gfp_t)0x100000u)) | (( gfp_t)0x02u)) | (( gfp_t)0x08u) | (( gfp_t)0)) |
    (( gfp_t)0x40000u) | (( gfp_t)0x80000u) | (( gfp_t)0x2000u)) &amp; ~((
    gfp_t)(0x400u|0x800u))) | (( gfp_t)0x400u)), "GFP_TRANSHUGE"}, {( unsigned
    long)((((((( gfp_t)(0x400u|0x800u)) | (( gfp_t)0x40u) | (( gfp_t)0x80u) |
    (( gfp_t)0x100000u)) | (( gfp_t)0x02u)) | (( gfp_t)0x08u) | (( gfp_t)0)) ...

Where the GFP values are shown and not their names. But after the GFP
flags were converted to use enums, it has:

  print fmt: "page=%p pfn=0x%lx order=%d migratetype=%d gfp_flags=%s",
    REC-&gt;pfn != -1UL ? (vmemmap + (REC-&gt;pfn)) : ((void *)0), REC-&gt;pfn != -1UL
    ? REC-&gt;pfn : 0, REC-&gt;order, REC-&gt;migratetype, (REC-&gt;gfp_flags) ?
    __print_flags(REC-&gt;gfp_flags, "|", {( unsigned long)((((((((
    gfp_t)(((((1UL))) &lt;&lt; (___GFP_DIRECT_RECLAIM_BIT))|((((1UL))) &lt;&lt;
    (___GFP_KSWAPD_RECLAIM_BIT)))) | (( gfp_t)((((1UL))) &lt;&lt; (___GFP_IO_BIT)))
    | (( gfp_t)((((1UL))) &lt;&lt; (___GFP_FS_BIT))) | (( gfp_t)((((1UL))) &lt;&lt;
    (___GFP_HARDWALL_BIT)))) | (( gfp_t)((((1UL))) &lt;&lt; (___GFP_HIGHMEM_BIT))))
    | (( gfp_t)((((1UL))) &lt;&lt; (___GFP_MOVABLE_BIT))) | (( gfp_t)0)) | ((
    gfp_t)((((1UL))) &lt;&lt; (___GFP_COMP_BIT))) ...

Where the enums names like ___GFP_KSWAPD_RECLAIM_BIT are shown and not their
values. User space has no way to convert these names to their values and
the output will fail to parse. What is shown is now:

  mm_page_alloc:  page=0xffffffff981685f3 pfn=0x1d1ac1 order=0 migratetype=1 gfp_flags=0x140cca

The TRACE_DEFINE_ENUM() macro was created to handle enums in the print fmt
files. This causes them to be replaced at boot up with the numbers, so
that user space tooling can parse it. By using this macro, the output is
back to the human readable:

  mm_page_alloc: page=0xffffffff981685f3 pfn=0x122233 order=0 migratetype=1 gfp_flags=GFP_HIGHUSER_MOVABLE|__GFP_COMP

Pull MM updates from Andrew Morton:
 "Along with the usual shower of singleton patches, notable patch series
  in this pull request are:

   - "Align kvrealloc() with krealloc()" from Danilo Krummrich. Adds
     consistency to the APIs and behaviour of these two core allocation
     functions. This also simplifies/enables Rustification.

   - "Some cleanups for shmem" from Baolin Wang. No functional changes -
     mode code reuse, better function naming, logic simplifications.

   - "mm: some small page fault cleanups" from Josef Bacik. No
     functional changes - code cleanups only.

   - "Various memory tiering fixes" from Zi Yan. A small fix and a
     little cleanup.

   - "mm/swap: remove boilerplate" from Yu Zhao. Code cleanups and
     simplifications and .text shrinkage.

   - "Kernel stack usage histogram" from Pasha Tatashin and Shakeel
     Butt. This is a feature, it adds new feilds to /proc/vmstat such as

       $ grep kstack /proc/vmstat
       kstack_1k 3
       kstack_2k 188
       kstack_4k 11391
       kstack_8k 243
       kstack_16k 0

     which tells us that 11391 processes used 4k of stack while none at
     all used 16k. Useful for some system tuning things, but
     partivularly useful for "the dynamic kernel stack project".

   - "kmemleak: support for percpu memory leak detect" from Pavel
     Tikhomirov. Teaches kmemleak to detect leaksage of percpu memory.

   - "mm: memcg: page counters optimizations" from Roman Gushchin. "3
     independent small optimizations of page counters".

   - "mm: split PTE/PMD PT table Kconfig cleanups+clarifications" from
     David Hildenbrand. Improves PTE/PMD splitlock detection, makes
     powerpc/8xx work correctly by design rather than by accident.

   - "mm: remove arch_make_page_accessible()" from David Hildenbrand.
     Some folio conversions which make arch_make_page_accessible()
     unneeded.

   - "mm, memcg: cg2 memory{.swap,}.peak write handlers" fro David
     Finkel. Cleans up and fixes our handling of the resetting of the
     cgroup/process peak-memory-use detector.

   - "Make core VMA operations internal and testable" from Lorenzo
     Stoakes. Rationalizaion and encapsulation of the VMA manipulation
     APIs. With a view to better enable testing of the VMA functions,
     even from a userspace-only harness.

   - "mm: zswap: fixes for global shrinker" from Takero Funaki. Fix
     issues in the zswap global shrinker, resulting in improved
     performance.

   - "mm: print the promo watermark in zoneinfo" from Kaiyang Zhao. Fill
     in some missing info in /proc/zoneinfo.

   - "mm: replace follow_page() by folio_walk" from David Hildenbrand.
     Code cleanups and rationalizations (conversion to folio_walk())
     resulting in the removal of follow_page().

   - "improving dynamic zswap shrinker protection scheme" from Nhat
     Pham. Some tuning to improve zswap's dynamic shrinker. Significant
     reductions in swapin and improvements in performance are shown.

   - "mm: Fix several issues with unaccepted memory" from Kirill
     Shutemov. Improvements to the new unaccepted memory feature,

   - "mm/mprotect: Fix dax puds" from Peter Xu. Implements mprotect on
     DAX PUDs. This was missing, although nobody seems to have notied
     yet.

   - "Introduce a store type enum for the Maple tree" from Sidhartha
     Kumar. Cleanups and modest performance improvements for the maple
     tree library code.

     more cgroup v1 remnants away from the v2 memcg code.

   - "memcg: initiate deprecation of v1 features" from Shakeel Butt.
     Adds various warnings telling users that memcg v1 features are
     deprecated.

   - "mm: swap: mTHP swap allocator base on swap cluster order" from
     Chris Li. Greatly improves the success rate of the mTHP swap
     allocation.

   - "mm: introduce numa_memblks" from Mike Rapoport. Moves various
     disparate per-arch implementations of numa_memblk code into generic
     code.

   - "mm: batch free swaps for zap_pte_range()" from Barry Song. Greatly
     improves the performance of munmap() of swap-filled ptes.

<title>mm: Define VM_DROPPABLE for powerpc/32</title>

Commit 9651fcedf7b9 ("mm: add MAP_DROPPABLE for designating always
lazily freeable mappings") only adds VM_DROPPABLE for 64 bits
architectures.

In order to also use the getrandom vDSO implementation on powerpc/32,
use VM_ARCH_1 for VM_DROPPABLE on powerpc/32. This is possible because
VM_ARCH_1 is used for VM_SAO on powerpc and VM_SAO is only for
powerpc/64. It is used in combination with PROT_SAO in some parts of
code that are restricted to CONFIG_PPC64 through #ifdefs, it is
therefore possible to define VM_SAO for CONFIG_PPC64 only.

This flag has similar constraints to PG_owner_priv_1 -- it is ignored by
core code, and is entirely for the use of the code which allocated the
folio.  Since the pagecache does not use it, individual filesystems can
use it.  The bufferhead code does use it, so filesystems which use the
buffer cache must not use it for another purpose.

Patch series "Increase the number of bits available in page_type".

Kent wants more than 16 bits in page_type, so I resurrected this old patch
and expanded it a bit.  It's a bit more efficient than our current scheme
(1 4-byte insn vs 3 insns of 13 bytes total) to test a single page type.


This patch (of 4):

An upcoming patch will convert page type from being a bitfield to a
single byte, so we will not be able to use %pG to print the page type
any more.  The printing of the symbolic name will be restored in that
patch.

The vDSO getrandom() implementation works with a buffer allocated with a
new system call that has certain requirements:

- It shouldn't be written to core dumps.
  * Easy: VM_DONTDUMP.
- It should be zeroed on fork.
  * Easy: VM_WIPEONFORK.

- It shouldn't be written to swap.
  * Uh-oh: mlock is rlimited.
  * Uh-oh: mlock isn't inherited by forks.

- It shouldn't reserve actual memory, but it also shouldn't crash when
  page faulting in memory if none is available
  * Uh-oh: VM_NORESERVE means segfaults.

It turns out that the vDSO getrandom() function has three really nice
characteristics that we can exploit to solve this problem:

1) Due to being wiped during fork(), the vDSO code is already robust to
   having the contents of the pages it reads zeroed out midway through
   the function's execution.

2) In the absolute worst case of whatever contingency we're coding for,
   we have the option to fallback to the getrandom() syscall, and
   everything is fine.

3) The buffers the function uses are only ever useful for a maximum of
   60 seconds -- a sort of cache, rather than a long term allocation.

These characteristics mean that we can introduce VM_DROPPABLE, which
has the following semantics:

a) It never is written out to swap.
b) Under memory pressure, mm can just drop the pages (so that they're
   zero when read back again).
c) It is inherited by fork.
d) It doesn't count against the mlock budget, since nothing is locked.
e) If there's not enough memory to service a page fault, it's not fatal,
   and no signal is sent.

This way, allocations used by vDSO getrandom() can use:

    VM_DROPPABLE | VM_DONTDUMP | VM_WIPEONFORK | VM_NORESERVE

And there will be no problem with OOMing, crashing on overcommitment,
using memory when not in use, not wiping on fork(), coredumps, or
writing out to swap.

In order to let vDSO getrandom() use this, expose these via mmap(2) as
MAP_DROPPABLE.

Note that this involves removing the MADV_FREE special case from
sort_folio(), which according to Yu Zhao is unnecessary and will simply
result in an extra call to shrink_folio_list() in the worst case. The
chunk removed reenables the swapbacked flag, which we don't want for
VM_DROPPABLE, and we can't conditionalize it here because there isn't a
vma reference available.

Finally, the provided self test ensures that this is working as desired.

Reclaim the Slab page flag by using a spare bit in PageType.  We are
perennially short of page flags for various purposes, and now that the
original SLAB allocator has been retired, SLUB does not use the
mapcount/page_type field.  This lets us remove a number of special cases
for ignoring mapcount on Slab pages.

<title>mm: turn folio_test_hugetlb into a PageType</title>

The current folio_test_hugetlb() can be fooled by a concurrent folio split
into returning true for a folio which has never belonged to hugetlbfs. 
This can't happen if the caller holds a refcount on it, but we have a few
places (memory-failure, compaction, procfs) which do not and should not
take a speculative reference.

Since hugetlb pages do not use individual page mapcounts (they are always
fully mapped and use the entire_mapcount field to record the number of
mappings), the PageType field is available now that page_mapcount()
ignores the value in this field.

In compaction and with CONFIG_DEBUG_VM enabled, the current implementation
can result in an oops, as reported by Luis. This happens since 9c5ccf2db04b
("mm: remove HUGETLB_PAGE_DTOR") effectively added some VM_BUG_ON() checks
in the PageHuge() testing path.
