According to David and Ryan, there isn't a bug here, even though we
don't advance the PTE entry, because __ptep_set_access_flags() only
uses the access flags from the entry.
However, we always check pte_same(pte, entry) using the first entry
in __ptep_set_access_flags(). This means that the checks from 1 to
nr - 1 are not comparing the same PTE indexes (thus, they always
return false), which can be a bit confusing. To clarify the code, let's
add some comments.

We are passing a huge nr to __clear_young_dirty_ptes() right now. While
we should pass the number of pages, we are actually passing CONT_PTE_SIZE.
This is causing lots of crashes of MADV_FREE, panic oops could vary
everytime.

The per-pte get_and_clear/modify/set approach would result in
unfolding/refolding for contpte mappings on arm64. So we need to override
clear_young_dirty_ptes() for arm64 to avoid it.

Patch series "Address some contpte nits".
These 2 patches address some nits raised by Catalin late in the review cycle for
my contpte series [1].
[1] https://lore.kernel.org/linux-mm/20240215103205.2607016-1-ryan.roberts@arm.com/
This patch (of 2):
The contpte symbols must be exported since some of the public inline
ptep_* APIs are called from modules and these inlines now call the contpte
functions. Originally they were exported as EXPORT_SYMBOL() for fear of
breaking out-of-tree modules. But we subsequently concluded that
EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL() should be safe since these functions are deeply core
mm routines, and any module operating at this level is not going to be
able to survive on EXPORT_SYMBOL alone.

There are situations where a change to a single PTE could cause the
contpte block in which it resides to become foldable (i.e. could be
repainted with the contiguous bit). Such situations arise, for example,
when user space temporarily changes protections, via mprotect, for
individual pages, such can be the case for certain garbage collectors.
We would like to detect when such a PTE change occurs. However this can
be expensive due to the amount of checking required. Therefore only
perform the checks when an indiviual PTE is modified via mprotect
(ptep_modify_prot_commit() -> set_pte_at() -> set_ptes(nr=1)) and only
when we are setting the final PTE in a contpte-aligned block.

Optimize the contpte implementation to fix some of the
exit/munmap/dontneed performance regression introduced by the initial
contpte commit. Subsequent patches will solve it entirely.
During exit(), munmap() or madvise(MADV_DONTNEED), mappings must be
cleared. Previously this was done 1 PTE at a time. But the core-mm
supports batched clear via the new [get_and_]clear_full_ptes() APIs. So
let's implement those APIs and for fully covered contpte mappings, we no
longer need to unfold the contpte. This significantly reduces unfolding
operations, reducing the number of tlbis that must be issued.

Optimize the contpte implementation to fix some of the fork performance
regression introduced by the initial contpte commit. Subsequent patches
will solve it entirely.
During fork(), any private memory in the parent must be write-protected.
Previously this was done 1 PTE at a time. But the core-mm supports
batched wrprotect via the new wrprotect_ptes() API. So let's implement
that API and for fully covered contpte mappings, we no longer need to
unfold the contpte. This has 2 benefits:
- reduced unfolding, reduces the number of tlbis that must be issued.
- The memory remains contpte-mapped ("folded") in the parent, so it
continues to benefit from the more efficient use of the TLB after
the fork.
The optimization to wrprotect a whole contpte block without unfolding is
possible thanks to the tightening of the Arm ARM in respect to the
definition and behaviour when 'Misprogramming the Contiguous bit'. See
section D21194 at https://developer.arm.com/documentation/102105/ja-07/

With the ptep API sufficiently refactored, we can now introduce a new
"contpte" API layer, which transparently manages the PTE_CONT bit for user
mappings.
In this initial implementation, only suitable batches of PTEs, set via
set_ptes(), are mapped with the PTE_CONT bit. Any subsequent modification
of individual PTEs will cause an "unfold" operation to repaint the contpte
block as individual PTEs before performing the requested operation.
While, a modification of a single PTE could cause the block of PTEs to
which it belongs to become eligible for "folding" into a contpte entry,
"folding" is not performed in this initial implementation due to the costs
of checking the requirements are met. Due to this, contpte mappings will
degrade back to normal pte mappings over time if/when protections are
changed. This will be solved in a future patch.
Since a contpte block only has a single access and dirty bit, the semantic
here changes slightly; when getting a pte (e.g. ptep_get()) that is part
of a contpte mapping, the access and dirty information are pulled from the
block (so all ptes in the block return the same access/dirty info). When
changing the access/dirty info on a pte (e.g. ptep_set_access_flags())
that is part of a contpte mapping, this change will affect the whole
contpte block. This is works fine in practice since we guarantee that
only a single folio is mapped by a contpte block, and the core-mm tracks
access/dirty information per folio.
In order for the public functions, which used to be pure inline, to
continue to be callable by modules, export all the contpte_* symbols that
are now called by those public inline functions.
The feature is enabled/disabled with the ARM64_CONTPTE Kconfig parameter
at build time. It defaults to enabled as long as its dependency,
TRANSPARENT_HUGEPAGE is also enabled. The core-mm depends upon
TRANSPARENT_HUGEPAGE to be able to allocate large folios, so if its not
enabled, then there is no chance of meeting the physical contiguity
requirement for contpte mappings.
