userfaultfd: add UFFDIO_CONTINUE ioctl
This ioctl is how userspace ought to resolve "minor" userfaults. The
idea is, userspace is notified that a minor fault has occurred. It
might change the contents of the page using its second non-UFFD mapping,
or not. Then, it calls UFFDIO_CONTINUE to tell the kernel "I have
ensured the page contents are correct, carry on setting up the mapping".
Note that it doesn't make much sense to use UFFDIO_{COPY,ZEROPAGE} for
MINOR registered VMAs. ZEROPAGE maps the VMA to the zero page; but in
the minor fault case, we already have some pre-existing underlying page.
Likewise, UFFDIO_COPY isn't useful if we have a second non-UFFD mapping.
We'd just use memcpy() or similar instead.
It turns out hugetlb_mcopy_atomic_pte() already does very close to what
we want, if an existing page is provided via `struct page **pagep`. We
already special-case the behavior a bit for the UFFDIO_ZEROPAGE case, so
just extend that design: add an enum for the three modes of operation,
and make the small adjustments needed for the MCOPY_ATOMIC_CONTINUE
case. (Basically, look up the existing page, and avoid adding the
existing page to the page cache or calling set_page_huge_active() on
it.)
