Pull NMI backtrace update from Russell King:
"These changes convert the x86 NMI handling to be a library
implementation which other architectures can make use of. Thomas
Gleixner has reviewed and tested these changes, and wishes me to send
these rather than taking them through the tip tree.
The final patch in the set adds an initial implementation using this
infrastructure to ARM, even though it doesn't send the IPI at "NMI"
level. Patches are in progress to add the ARM equivalent of NMI, but
we still need the IRQ-level fallback for systems where the "NMI" isn't
available due to secure firmware denying access to it"

When a pv-domain (including dom0) is started it tries to size it's
p2m list according to the maximum possible memory amount it ever can
achieve. Limit the initial maximum memory size to the architectural
limit of the hardware in order to avoid overflows during remapping
of memory.
This problem will occur when dom0 is started with an initial memory
size being a multiple of 1GB, but without specifying it's maximum
memory size. The kernel must be configured without
CONFIG_XEN_BALLOON_MEMORY_HOTPLUG for the problem to happen.

Commit b1c9f169047b ("xen: split counting of extra memory pages...")
introduced an error when dom0 was started with limited memory occurring
only on some hardware.
The problem arises in case dom0 is started with initial memory and
maximum memory being the same. The kernel must be configured without
CONFIG_XEN_BALLOON_MEMORY_HOTPLUG for the problem to happen. If all
of this is true and the E820 map of the machine is sparse (some areas
are not covered) then the machine might crash early in the boot
process.
An example E820 map triggering the problem looks like this:

In this case the area a0000-dffff isn't present in the map. This will
confuse the memory setup of the domain when remapping the memory from
such holes to populated areas.
To avoid the problem the accounting of to be remapped memory has to
count such holes in the E820 map as well.

The NFSv4 delegation spec allows the server to tell a client to limit how
much data it cache after the file is closed. In return, the server
guarantees enough free space to avoid ENOSPC situations, etc.
Prior to this patch, we assumed we could always cache aggressively after
close. Unfortunately, this causes problems with servers that set the
limit to 0 and therefore do not offer any ENOSPC guarantees.

In commit f341861fb0b ("task_work: add a scheduling point in
task_work_run()") I fixed a latency problem adding a cond_resched()
call.
Later, commit ac3d0da8f329 added yet another loop to reverse a list,
bringing back the latency spike :
I've seen in some cases this loop taking 275 ms, if for example a
process with 2,000,000 files is killed.
We could add yet another cond_resched() in the reverse loop, or we
can simply remove the reversal, as I do not think anything
would depend on order of task_work_add() submitted works.

The "new_len > old_len" branch in vma_to_resize() looks very confusing.
It only covers the VM_DONTEXPAND/pgoff checks but everything below is

vma->vm_ops->mremap() looks more natural and clean in move_vma(), and this
way ->mremap() can have more users. Say, vdso.
While at it, s/aio_ring_remap/aio_ring_mremap/.
Note: this is the minimal change before ->mremap() finds another user in

With DAX, pfn mapping becoming more common. The patch adjusts GUP code to
cover pfn mapping for cases when we don't need struct page to proceed.
To make it possible, let's change follow_page() code to return -EEXIST
error code if proper page table entry exists, but no corresponding struct
page. __get_user_page() would ignore the error code and move to the next
page frame.
The immediate effect of the change is working MAP_POPULATE and mlock() on
DAX mappings.

Clark stumbled over a VM_BUG_ON() in -RT which was then was removed by
Johannes in commit f371763a79d ("mm: memcontrol: fix false-positive
VM_BUG_ON() on -rt"). The comment before that patch was a tiny bit better
than it is now. While the patch claimed to fix a false-postive on -RT
this was not the case. None of the -RT folks ACKed it and it was not a
false positive report. That was a *real* problem.
This patch updates the comment that is improper because it refers to
"disabled preemption" as a consequence of that lock being taken. A
spin_lock() disables preemption, true, but in this case the code relies on
the fact that the lock _also_ disables interrupts once it is acquired.
And this is the important detail (which was checked the VM_BUG_ON()) which
needs to be pointed out. This is the hint one needs while looking at the
code. It was explained by Johannes on the list that the per-CPU variables
are protected by local_irq_save(). The BUG_ON() was helpful. This code
has been workarounded in -RT in the meantime. I wouldn't mind running
into more of those if the code in question uses *special* kind of locking
since now there is no verification (in terms of lockdep or BUG_ON()) and
therefore I bring the VM_BUG_ON() check back in.
The two functions after the comment could also have a "local_irq_save()"
dance around them in order to serialize access to the per-CPU variables.
This has been avoided because the interrupts should be off.

This change fills devm_gen_pool_create()/gen_pool_get() "name" argument
stub with contents and extends of_gen_pool_get() functionality on this
basis.
If there is no associated platform device with a device node passed to
of_gen_pool_get(), the function attempts to get a label property or device
node name (= repeats MTD OF partition standard) and seeks for a named
gen_pool registered by device of the parent device node.
The main idea of the change is to allow registration of independent
gen_pools under the same umbrella device, say "partitions" on "storage
device", the original functionality of one "partition" per "storage
device" is untouched.

This change modifies gen_pool_get() and devm_gen_pool_create() client
interfaces adding one more argument "name" of a gen_pool object.
Due to implementation gen_pool_get() is capable to retrieve only one
gen_pool associated with a device even if multiple gen_pools are created,
fortunately right at the moment it is sufficient for the clients, hence
provide NULL as a valid argument on both producer devm_gen_pool_create()
and consumer gen_pool_get() sides.
Because only one created gen_pool per device is addressable, explicitly
add a restriction to devm_gen_pool_create() to create only one gen_pool
per device, this implies two possible error codes returned by the
function, account it on client side (only misc/sram). This completes
client side changes related to genalloc updates.

If a PTE is unmapped and it's dirty then it was writable recently. Due to
deferred TLB flushing, it's best to assume a writable TLB cache entry
exists. With that assumption, the TLB must be flushed before any IO can
start or the page is freed to avoid lost writes or data corruption. This
patch defers flushing of potentially writable TLBs as long as possible.

An IPI is sent to flush remote TLBs when a page is unmapped that was
potentially accesssed by other CPUs. There are many circumstances where
this happens but the obvious one is kswapd reclaiming pages belonging to a
running process as kswapd and the task are likely running on separate
CPUs.
On small machines, this is not a significant problem but as machine gets
larger with more cores and more memory, the cost of these IPIs can be
high. This patch uses a simple structure that tracks CPUs that
potentially have TLB entries for pages being unmapped. When the unmapping
is complete, the full TLB is flushed on the assumption that a refill cost
is lower than flushing individual entries.
Architectures wishing to do this must give the following guarantee.
If a clean page is unmapped and not immediately flushed, the
architecture must guarantee that a write to that linear address
from a CPU with a cached TLB entry will trap a page fault.
This is essentially what the kernel already depends on but the window is
much larger with this patch applied and is worth highlighting. The
architecture should consider whether the cost of the full TLB flush is
higher than sending an IPI to flush each individual entry. An additional
architecture helper called flush_tlb_local is required. It's a trivial
wrapper with some accounting in the x86 case.
The impact of this patch depends on the workload as measuring any benefit
requires both mapped pages co-located on the LRU and memory pressure. The
case with the biggest impact is multiple processes reading mapped pages
taken from the vm-scalability test suite. The test case uses NR_CPU
readers of mapped files that consume 10*RAM.

This is showing that the readers completed 24.40% faster with 29% less
system CPU time. From vmstats, it is known that the vanilla kernel was
interrupted roughly 900K times per second during the steady phase of the
test and the patched kernel was interrupts 180K times per second.
The impact is lower on a single socket machine.

It's still a noticeable improvement with vmstat showing interrupts went
from roughly 500K per second to 45K per second.
The patch will have no impact on workloads with no memory pressure or have
relatively few mapped pages. It will have an unpredictable impact on the
workload running on the CPU being flushed as it'll depend on how many TLB
entries need to be refilled and how long that takes. Worst case, the TLB
will be completely cleared of active entries when the target PFNs were not
resident at all.

When unmapping pages it is necessary to flush the TLB. If that page was
accessed by another CPU then an IPI is used to flush the remote CPU. That
is a lot of IPIs if kswapd is scanning and unmapping >100K pages per
second.
There already is a window between when a page is unmapped and when it is
TLB flushed. This series increases the window so multiple pages can be
flushed using a single IPI. This should be safe or the kernel is hosed
already.
Patch 1 simply made the rest of the series easier to write as ftrace
could identify all the senders of TLB flush IPIS.
Patch 2 tracks what CPUs potentially map a PFN and then sends an IPI
to flush the entire TLB.
Patch 3 tracks when there potentially are writable TLB entries that
need to be batched differently
Patch 4 increases SWAP_CLUSTER_MAX to further batch flushes
The performance impact is documented in the changelogs but in the optimistic
case on a 4-socket machine the full series reduces interrupts from 900K
interrupts/second to 60K interrupts/second.
This patch (of 4):
It is easy to trace when an IPI is received to flush a TLB but harder to
detect what event sent it. This patch makes it easy to identify the
source of IPIs being transmitted for TLB flushes on x86.

the lockless wake_userfault(). Use a seqcount to prevent this false

The THP faults were not propagating the original fault address. The
latest version of the API with uffd.arg.pagefault.address is supposed to
propagate the full address through THP faults.
This was not a kernel crashing bug and it wouldn't risk to corrupt user
memory, but it would cause a SIGBUS failure because the wrong page was
being copied.
For various reasons this wasn't easily reproducible in the qemu workload,
but the strestest exposed the problem immediately.

This is only simple to achieve if the userfault is going to return to
userland (not to the kernel) because we can avoid returning VM_FAULT_RETRY
despite we temporarily released the mmap_sem. The fault would just be
retried by userland then. This is safe at least on x86 and powerpc (the
two archs with the syscall implemented so far).
Hint to verify for which archs this is safe: after handle_mm_fault
returns, no access to data structures protected by the mmap_sem must be
done by the fault code in arch/*/mm/fault.c until up_read(&mm->mmap_sem)
is called.
This has two main benefits: signals can run with lower latency in
production (signals aren't blocked by userfaults and userfaults are
immediately repeated after signal processing) and gdb can then trivially
debug the threads blocked in this kind of userfaults coming directly from
userland.
On a side note: while gdb has a need to get signal processed, coredumps
always worked perfectly with userfaults, no matter if the userfault is
triggered by GUP a kernel copy_user or directly from userland.
