Patch series "New page table range API", v6.
This patchset changes the API used by the MM to set up page table entries.
The four APIs are:
set_ptes(mm, addr, ptep, pte, nr)
update_mmu_cache_range(vma, addr, ptep, nr)
flush_dcache_folio(folio)
flush_icache_pages(vma, page, nr)
flush_dcache_folio() isn't technically new, but no architecture
implemented it, so I've done that for them. The old APIs remain around
but are mostly implemented by calling the new interfaces.
The new APIs are based around setting up N page table entries at once.
The N entries belong to the same PMD, the same folio and the same VMA, so
ptep++ is a legitimate operation, and locking is taken care of for you.
Some architectures can do a better job of it than just a loop, but I have
hesitated to make too deep a change to architectures I don't understand
well.
One thing I have changed in every architecture is that PG_arch_1 is now a
per-folio bit instead of a per-page bit when used for dcache clean/dirty
tracking. This was something that would have to happen eventually, and it
makes sense to do it now rather than iterate over every page involved in a
cache flush and figure out if it needs to happen.
The point of all this is better performance, and Fengwei Yin has measured
improvement on x86. I suspect you'll see improvement on your architecture
too. Try the new will-it-scale test mentioned here:
https://lore.kernel.org/linux-mm/20230206140639.538867-5-fengwei.yin@intel.com/
You'll need to run it on an XFS filesystem and have
CONFIG_TRANSPARENT_HUGEPAGE set.
This patchset is the basis for much of the anonymous large folio work
being done by Ryan, so it's received quite a lot of testing over the last
few months.
This patch (of 38):
Determine if a value lies within a range more efficiently (subtraction +
comparison vs two comparisons and an AND). It also has useful (under some
circumstances) behaviour if the range exceeds the maximum value of the
type. Convert all the conflicting definitions of in_range() within the
kernel; some can use the generic definition while others need their own
definition.

Patch series "mm: consolidate definitions of page table accessors", v2.
The low level page table accessors (pXY_index(), pXY_offset()) are
duplicated across all architectures and sometimes more than once. For
instance, we have 31 definition of pgd_offset() for 25 supported
architectures.
Most of these definitions are actually identical and typically it boils
down to, e.g.
static inline unsigned long pmd_index(unsigned long address)
{
return (address >> PMD_SHIFT) & (PTRS_PER_PMD - 1);
}
static inline pmd_t *pmd_offset(pud_t *pud, unsigned long address)
{
return (pmd_t *)pud_page_vaddr(*pud) + pmd_index(address);
}
These definitions can be shared among 90% of the arches provided
XYZ_SHIFT, PTRS_PER_XYZ and xyz_page_vaddr() are defined.
For architectures that really need a custom version there is always
possibility to override the generic version with the usual ifdefs magic.
These patches introduce include/linux/pgtable.h that replaces
include/asm-generic/pgtable.h and add the definitions of the page table
accessors to the new header.
This patch (of 12):
The linux/mm.h header includes <asm/pgtable.h> to allow inlining of the
functions involving page table manipulations, e.g. pte_alloc() and
pmd_alloc(). So, there is no point to explicitly include <asm/pgtable.h>
in the files that include <linux/mm.h>.
The include statements in such cases are remove with a simple loop:
for f in $(git grep -l "include <linux/mm.h>") ; do
sed -i -e '/include <asm\/pgtable.h>/ d' $f
done

Drop the pgtable_t variable from all implementation for pte_fn_t as none
of them use it. apply_to_pte_range() should stop computing it as well.
Should help us save some cycles.

We can allow modules to be loaded into the vmalloc region, where they
should also benefit from the same protections as those loaded into
the more efficient module region. Allow these functions to operate
there as well.

The set_memory_*() bounds checks are buggy on several fronts:
1. They fail to round the region size up if the passed address is not
page aligned.
2. The region check was incomplete, and didn't correspond with what
was being asked of apply_to_page_range()
So, rework change_memory_common() to fix these problems, adding an
"in_region()" helper to determine whether the start & size fit within
the provided region start and stop addresses.

Allow zero size updates. This makes set_memory_xx() consistent with x86, s390 and arm64 and makes apply_to_page_range() not to BUG() when loading modules.

The set_memory_* functions currently only support module
addresses. The addresses are validated using is_module_addr.
That function is special though and relies on internal state
in the module subsystem to work properly. At the time of
module initialization and calling set_memory_*, it's too early
for is_module_addr to work properly so it always returns
false. Rather than be subject to the whims of the module state,
just bounds check against the module virtual address range.

set_memory_* functions have same implementation
except memory attribute.
This patch makes to use common function for these, and pull out
the functions into arch/arm/mm/pageattr.c like arm64 did.
It will reduce code size and enhance the readability.
