The memcg stats are maintained in rstat infrastructure which provides very
fast updates side and reasonable read side. However memcg added plethora
of stats and made the read side, which is cgroup rstat flush, very slow.
To solve that, threshold was added in the memcg stats read side i.e. no
need to flush the stats if updates are within the threshold.
This threshold based improvement worked for sometime but more stats were
added to memcg and also the read codepath was getting triggered in the
performance sensitive paths which made threshold based ratelimiting
ineffective. We need more visibility into the hot and cold stats i.e.
stats with a lot of updates. Let's add trace to get that visibility.

The hugepage parameter was deprecated since commit ddc1a5cbc05d
("mempolicy: alloc_pages_mpol() for NUMA policy without vma"), for
PMD-sized THP, it still tries only preferred node if possible in
vma_alloc_folio() by checking the order of the folio allocation.

When we do not set percpu_pagelist_high_fraction the kernel will compute
the pcp high_min/max by itself, which makes it hard to determine the
current high_min/max values.
So output the pcp high_min/max values to /proc/zoneinfo.

For clarity. It's increasingly hard to reason about the code, when KASLR
is moving around the boundaries. In this case where KASLR is randomizing
the location of the kernel image within physical memory, the maximum
number of address bits for physical memory has not changed.
What has changed is the ending address of memory that is allowed to be
directly mapped by the kernel.
Let's name the variable, and the associated macro accordingly.
Also, enhance the comment above the direct_map_physmem_end definition,
to further clarify how this all works.

Introduce do_huge_zero_wp_pmd() to handle wp-fault on a hugezeropage and
replace it with a PMD-mapped THP. Remember to flush TLB entry
corresponding to the hugezeropage. In case of failure, fallback to

Patch series "Do not shatter hugezeropage on wp-fault", v7.
It was observed at [1] and [2] that the current kernel behaviour of
shattering a hugezeropage is inconsistent and suboptimal. For a VMA with
a THP allowable order, when we write-fault on it, the kernel installs a
PMD-mapped THP. On the other hand, if we first get a read fault, we get a
PMD pointing to the hugezeropage; subsequent write will trigger a
write-protection fault, shattering the hugezeropage into one writable
page, and all the other PTEs write-protected. The conclusion being, as
compared to the case of a single write-fault, applications have to suffer
512 extra page faults if they were to use the VMA as such, plus we get the
overhead of khugepaged trying to replace that area with a THP anyway.
Instead, replace the hugezeropage with a THP on wp-fault.

[2]: https://lore.kernel.org/all/1cfae0c0-96a2-4308-9c62-f7a640520242@arm.com/
This patch (of 2):
In preparation for the second patch, abstract away the THP allocation
logic present in the create_huge_pmd() path, which corresponds to the
faulting case when no page is present.
There should be no functional change as a result of applying this patch,
except that, as David notes at [1], a PMD-aligned address should be passed
to update_mmu_cache_pmd().

prepare_hugepage_range() performs almost the same checks for all
architectures that define it, with the exception of mips and loongarch
that also check for overflows.
The rest checks for the addr and len to be properly aligned, so we can
move that to hugetlb_get_unmapped_area() and get rid of a fair amount of
duplicated code.

s390 redefines functions that are already defined (and the same) in
include/asm-generic/hugetlb.h.
Do as the other architectures:
1) include include/asm-generic/hugetlb.h
2) drop the already defined functions in the generic hugetlb.h and
3) use the __HAVE_ARCH_HUGE_* macros to define our own.
This gets rid of quite some code.

Hugetlb mappings will no longer be special cased but rather go through the
generic mm_get_unmapped_area_vmflags function. For that to happen, let us
remove the .get_unmapped_area from hugetlbfs_file_operations struct, and
hint __get_unmapped_area that it should not send hugetlb mappings through
thp_get_unmapped_area_vmflags but through mm_get_unmapped_area_vmflags.
Create also a function called hugetlb_mmap_check_and_align() where a
couple of safety checks are being done and the addr is aligned to the huge
page size. Otherwise we will have to do this in every single function,
which duplicates quite a lot of code.

Patch series "Unify hugetlb into arch_get_unmapped_area functions", v4.
This is an attempt to get rid of a fair amount of duplicated code wrt.
hugetlb and *get_unmapped_area* functions.
HugeTLB registers a .get_unmapped_area function which gets called from
__get_unmapped_area().
hugetlb_get_unmapped_area() is defined by a bunch of architectures and
it also has a generic definition for those that do not define it.
Short-long story is that there is a ton of duplicated code between
specific hugetlb *_get_unmapped_area_* functions and mm-core functions,
so we can do better by teaching arch_get_unmapped_area* functions how
to deal with hugetlb mappings.
Note that not a lot of things need to be taught though.
hugetlb_get_unmapped_area, that gets called for hugetlb mappings, runs
some sanity checks prior to calling mm_get_unmapped_area_vmflags(), so we
do not need to that down the road in the respective
{generic,arch}_get_unmapped_area* functions.
More information can be found in the respective patches.
LTP mmapstress hugetlb selftests were ran succesfully on:
This patch (of 9):
We want to stop special casing hugetlb mappings and make them go through
generic channels, so teach generic_get_unmapped_area{_topdown} to handle
those. The main difference is that we set info.align_mask for huge
mappings.

Performance analysis using branch annotation on a fleet of 200 hosts
running web servers revealed that the 'unlikely' hint in
vms_gather_munmap_vmas() was 100% consistently incorrect. In all observed
cases, the branch behavior contradicted the hint.
Remove the 'unlikely' qualifier from the condition checking 'vms->uf'. By
doing so, we allow the compiler to make optimization decisions based on
its own heuristics and profiling data, rather than relying on a static
hint that has proven to be inaccurate in real-world scenarios.

Many maple tree values output when an mt_validate() or equivalent hits an
issue utilise tagged pointers, most notably parent nodes. Also some
pivots/slots contain meaningful values, output as pointers, such as the
index of the last entry with data for example.
All pointer values such as this are destroyed by kernel pointer hashing
rendering the debug output obtained from CONFIG_DEBUG_VM_MAPLE_TREE
considerably less usable.
Update this code to output the raw pointers using %px rather than %p when
CONFIG_DEBUG_VM_MAPLE_TREE is defined. This is justified, as the use of
this configuration flag indicates that this is a test environment.
Userland does not understand %px, so use %p there.
In an abundance of caution, if CONFIG_DEBUG_VM_MAPLE_TREE is not set, also
use %p to avoid exposing raw kernel pointers except when we are positive a
testing mode is enabled.
This was inspired by the investigation performed in recent debugging
efforts around a maple tree regression [0] where kernel pointer tagging had
to be disabled in order to obtain truly meaningful and useful data.

Currently mapping_try_invalidate() and invalidate_inode_pages2_range()
traverses the xarray in batches and then for each batch, maintains and
sets the flag named xa_has_values if the batch has a shadow entry to clear
the entries at the end of the iteration.
However they forgot to reset the flag at the end of the iteration which
causes them to always try to clear the shadow entries in the subsequent
iterations where there might not be any shadow entries.
Fix this inefficiency.

In commit 246d3aa3e531 ("mm: cleanup count_mthp_stat() definition"), Ryan
Roberts has pointed out the merits of mm code that does not require THP,
to be compile-able without requiring THP ifdefs. As a step in that
direction, he has moved count_mthp_stat() to be always defined, resolving
to a no-op if THP is not defined.
Barry Song referred me to Ryan's commit when I was working on the "mm:
zswap swap-out of large folios" patch-series [1].
This patch propagates the benefits of the above change to page_io.c and
vmscan.c. As a result, there is one less reason to have the ifdef THP in
these code sections.

set_pxd_safe() helpers that serve a specific purpose for both x86 and
riscv platforms, do not need to be in the common memory code. Otherwise
they just unnecessarily make the common API more complicated. This moves
the helpers from common code to platform instead.

Patch series "Remove PageKsm()".
The KSM flag is almost always tested on the folio rather than on the page.
This series removes the final users of PageKsm() and makes the flag only
This patch (of 5):
It is safe to use a folio here because all callers took a refcount on this
page. The one wrinkle is that we have to recalculate the value of folio
after splitting the page, since it has probably changed. Replaces nine
calls to compound_head() with one.

The kernel invalidates the page cache in batches of PAGEVEC_SIZE. For
each batch, it traverses the page cache tree and collects the entries
(folio and shadow entries) in the struct folio_batch. For the shadow
entries present in the folio_batch, it has to traverse the page cache tree
for each individual entry to remove them. This patch optimize this by
removing them in a single tree traversal.
To evaluate the changes, we created 200GiB file on a fuse fs and in a
memcg. We created the shadow entries by triggering reclaim through
memory.reclaim in that specific memcg and measure the simple
fadvise(DONTNEED) operation.

Patch series "mm: optimize shadow entries removal", v2.
Some of our production workloads which processes a large amount of data
spends considerable amount of CPUs on truncation and invalidation of large
sized files (100s of GiBs of size). Tracing the operations showed that
most of the time is in shadow entries removal. This patch series
optimizes the truncation and invalidation operations.
This patch (of 2):
The kernel truncates the page cache in batches of PAGEVEC_SIZE. For each
batch, it traverses the page cache tree and collects the entries (folio
and shadow entries) in the struct folio_batch. For the shadow entries
present in the folio_batch, it has to traverse the page cache tree for
each individual entry to remove them. This patch optimize this by
removing them in a single tree traversal.
On large machines in our production which run workloads manipulating large
amount of data, we have observed that a large amount of CPUs are spent on
truncation of very large files (100s of GiBs file sizes). More
specifically most of time was spent on shadow entries cleanup, so
optimizing the shadow entries cleanup, even a little bit, has good impact.
To evaluate the changes, we created 200GiB file on a fuse fs and in a
memcg. We created the shadow entries by triggering reclaim through
memory.reclaim in that specific memcg and measure the simple truncation
operation.

In do_adjust_pte(), we may modify the pte entry. The corresponding pmd
entry may have been modified concurrently. Therefore, in order to ensure
the stability if pmd entry, use pte_offset_map_rw_nolock() to replace
pte_offset_map_nolock(), and do pmd_same() check after holding the PTL.
All callers of update_mmu_cache_range() hold the vmf->ptl, so we can
determined whether split PTE locks is being used by doing the following,
just as we do elsewhere in the kernel.
ptl != vmf->ptl
And then we can delete the do_pte_lock() and do_pte_unlock().

Patch series "introduce pte_offset_map_{ro|rw}_nolock()", v5.
As proposed by David Hildenbrand [1], this series introduces the following
two new helper functions to replace pte_offset_map_nolock().
1. pte_offset_map_ro_nolock()
2. pte_offset_map_rw_nolock()
As the name suggests, pte_offset_map_ro_nolock() is used for read-only
case. In this case, only read-only operations will be performed on PTE
page after the PTL is held. The RCU lock in pte_offset_map_nolock() will
ensure that the PTE page will not be freed, and there is no need to worry
about whether the pmd entry is modified. Therefore
pte_offset_map_ro_nolock() is just a renamed version of
pte_offset_map_nolock().
pte_offset_map_rw_nolock() is used for may-write case. In this case, the
pte or pmd entry may be modified after the PTL is held, so we need to
ensure that the pmd entry has not been modified concurrently. So in
addition to the name change, it also outputs the pmdval when successful.
The users should make sure the page table is stable like checking
pte_same() or checking pmd_same() by using the output pmdval before
performing the write operations.
This series will convert all pte_offset_map_nolock() into the above two
helper functions one by one, and finally completely delete it.
This also a preparation for reclaiming the empty user PTE page table
pages.
This patch (of 13):
Currently, the usage of pte_offset_map_nolock() can be divided into the
following two cases:
1) After acquiring PTL, only read-only operations are performed on the PTE
page. In this case, the RCU lock in pte_offset_map_nolock() will ensure
that the PTE page will not be freed, and there is no need to worry
about whether the pmd entry is modified.
2) After acquiring PTL, the pte or pmd entries may be modified. At this
time, we need to ensure that the pmd entry has not been modified
concurrently.
To more clearing distinguish between these two cases, this commit
introduces two new helper functions to replace pte_offset_map_nolock().
For 1), just rename it to pte_offset_map_ro_nolock(). For 2), in addition
to changing the name to pte_offset_map_rw_nolock(), it also outputs the
pmdval when successful. It is applicable for may-write cases where any
modification operations to the page table may happen after the
corresponding spinlock is held afterwards. But the users should make sure
the page table is stable like checking pte_same() or checking pmd_same()
by using the output pmdval before performing the write operations.
Note: "RO" / "RW" expresses the intended semantics, not that the *kmap*
will be read-only/read-write protected.
Subsequent commits will convert pte_offset_map_nolock() into the above
two functions one by one, and finally completely delete it.

The types of mm flags are now far beyond the core dump related features.
This patch moves mm flags from linux/sched/coredump.h to linux/mm_types.h.
The linux/sched/coredump.h has include the mm_types.h, so the C files
related to coredump does not need to change head file inclusion. In
addition, the inclusion of sched/coredump.h now can be deleted from the C
files that irrelevant to core dump.
