Use the general page fault accounting by passing regs into
handle_mm_fault(). It naturally solve the issue of multiple page fault
accounting when page fault retry happened.
Add the missing PERF_COUNT_SW_PAGE_FAULTS perf events too. Note, the
other two perf events (PERF_COUNT_SW_PAGE_FAULTS_[MAJ|MIN]) were done in
handle_mm_fault().

Patch series "mm: Page fault accounting cleanups", v5.
This is v5 of the pf accounting cleanup series. It originates from Gerald
Schaefer's report on an issue a week ago regarding to incorrect page fault
accountings for retried page fault after commit 4064b9827063 ("mm: allow
VM_FAULT_RETRY for multiple times"):
https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20200610174811.44b94525@thinkpad/
What this series did:
- Correct page fault accounting: we do accounting for a page fault
(no matter whether it's from #PF handling, or gup, or anything else)
only with the one that completed the fault. For example, page fault
retries should not be counted in page fault counters. Same to the
perf events.
- Unify definition of PERF_COUNT_SW_PAGE_FAULTS: currently this perf
event is used in an adhoc way across different archs.
Case (1): for many archs it's done at the entry of a page fault
handler, so that it will also cover e.g. errornous faults.
Case (2): for some other archs, it is only accounted when the page
fault is resolved successfully.
Case (3): there're still quite some archs that have not enabled
this perf event.
Since this series will touch merely all the archs, we unify this
perf event to always follow case (1), which is the one that makes most
sense. And since we moved the accounting into handle_mm_fault, the
other two MAJ/MIN perf events are well taken care of naturally.
- Unify definition of "major faults": the definition of "major
fault" is slightly changed when used in accounting (not
VM_FAULT_MAJOR). More information in patch 1.
- Always account the page fault onto the one that triggered the page
fault. This does not matter much for #PF handlings, but mostly for
gup. More information on this in patch 25.
Patchset layout:
Patch 1: Introduced the accounting in handle_mm_fault(), not enabled.
Patch 2-23: Enable the new accounting for arch #PF handlers one by one.
Patch 24: Enable the new accounting for the rest outliers (gup, iommu, etc.)
Patch 25: Cleanup GUP task_struct pointer since it's not needed any more
This patch (of 25):
This is a preparation patch to move page fault accountings into the
general code in handle_mm_fault(). This includes both the per task
flt_maj/flt_min counters, and the major/minor page fault perf events. To
do this, the pt_regs pointer is passed into handle_mm_fault().
PERF_COUNT_SW_PAGE_FAULTS should still be kept in per-arch page fault
handlers.
So far, all the pt_regs pointer that passed into handle_mm_fault() is
NULL, which means this patch should have no intented functional change.

The idea comes from a discussion between Linus and Andrea [1].
Before this patch we only allow a page fault to retry once. We achieved
this by clearing the FAULT_FLAG_ALLOW_RETRY flag when doing
handle_mm_fault() the second time. This was majorly used to avoid
unexpected starvation of the system by looping over forever to handle the
page fault on a single page. However that should hardly happen, and after
all for each code path to return a VM_FAULT_RETRY we'll first wait for a
condition (during which time we should possibly yield the cpu) to happen
before VM_FAULT_RETRY is really returned.
This patch removes the restriction by keeping the FAULT_FLAG_ALLOW_RETRY
flag when we receive VM_FAULT_RETRY. It means that the page fault handler
now can retry the page fault for multiple times if necessary without the
need to generate another page fault event. Meanwhile we still keep the
FAULT_FLAG_TRIED flag so page fault handler can still identify whether a
page fault is the first attempt or not.
Then we'll have these combinations of fault flags (only considering
ALLOW_RETRY flag and TRIED flag):
- ALLOW_RETRY and !TRIED: this means the page fault allows to
retry, and this is the first try
- ALLOW_RETRY and TRIED: this means the page fault allows to
retry, and this is not the first try
- !ALLOW_RETRY and !TRIED: this means the page fault does not allow
to retry at all
- !ALLOW_RETRY and TRIED: this is forbidden and should never be used
In existing code we have multiple places that has taken special care of
the first condition above by checking against (fault_flags &
FAULT_FLAG_ALLOW_RETRY). This patch introduces a simple helper to detect
the first retry of a page fault by checking against both (fault_flags &
FAULT_FLAG_ALLOW_RETRY) and !(fault_flag & FAULT_FLAG_TRIED) because now
even the 2nd try will have the ALLOW_RETRY set, then use that helper in
all existing special paths. One example is in __lock_page_or_retry(), now
we'll drop the mmap_sem only in the first attempt of page fault and we'll
keep it in follow up retries, so old locking behavior will be retained.
This will be a nice enhancement for current code [2] at the same time a
supporting material for the future userfaultfd-writeprotect work, since in
that work there will always be an explicit userfault writeprotect retry
for protected pages, and if that cannot resolve the page fault (e.g., when
userfaultfd-writeprotect is used in conjunction with swapped pages) then
we'll possibly need a 3rd retry of the page fault. It might also benefit
other potential users who will have similar requirement like userfault
write-protection.
GUP code is not touched yet and will be covered in follow up patch.

Although there're tons of arch-specific page fault handlers, most of them
are still sharing the same initial value of the page fault flags. Say,
merely all of the page fault handlers would allow the fault to be retried,
and they also allow the fault to respond to SIGKILL.
Let's define a default value for the fault flags to replace those initial
page fault flags that were copied over. With this, it'll be far easier to
introduce new fault flag that can be used by all the architectures instead
of touching all the archs.

For most architectures, we've got a quick path to detect fatal signal
after a handle_mm_fault(). Introduce a helper for that quick path.
It cleans the current codes a bit so we don't need to duplicate the same
check across archs. More importantly, this will be an unified place that
we handle the signal immediately right after an interrupted page fault, so
it'll be much easier for us if we want to change the behavior of handling
signals later on for all the archs.
Note that currently only part of the archs are using this new helper,
because some archs have their own way to handle signals. In the follow up
patches, we'll try to apply this helper to all the rest of archs.
Another note is that the "regs" parameter in the new helper is not used
yet. It'll be used very soon. Now we kept it in this patch only to avoid
touching all the archs again in the follow up patches.

flush_tlb_page is for flushing user pages, so it should not be using
flush_tlb_one (which flushes all pages).
This patch implements it with the flush_tlb_range, which is a user
flush that does the right thing.
flush_tlb_one is made static to mm/tlb.c because it's a bit confusing.
It is used in do_page_fault to flush the kernel non-linear mappings,
so that is replaced with flush_tlb_kernel_page. The end result is that
functionality is identical.

Use new return type vm_fault_t for fault handler. For now, this is just
documenting that the function returns a VM_FAULT value rather than an
errno. Once all instances are converted, vm_fault_t will become a
distinct type.
Ref-> commit 1c8f422059ae ("mm: change return type to vm_fault_t")
In this patch all the caller of handle_mm_fault() are changed to return
vm_fault_t type.

the handler
Introduce faulthandler_disabled() and use it to check for irq context and
disabled pagefaults (via pagefault_disable()) in the pagefault handlers.
Please note that we keep the in_atomic() checks in place - to detect
whether in irq context (in which case preemption is always properly
disabled).
In contrast, preempt_disable() should never be used to disable pagefaults.
With !CONFIG_PREEMPT_COUNT, preempt_disable() doesn't modify the preempt
counter, and therefore the result of in_atomic() differs.
We validate that condition by using might_fault() checks when calling
might_sleep().
Therefore, add a comment to faulthandler_disabled(), describing why this
is needed.
faulthandler_disabled() and pagefault_disable() are defined in
linux/uaccess.h, so let's properly add that include to all relevant files.
This patch is based on a patch from Thomas Gleixner.

Follow commit 871341023c771ad.
Kernel faults are expected to handle OOM conditions gracefully (gup,
uaccess etc.), so they should never invoke the OOM killer. Reserve
this for faults triggered in user context when it is the only option.

Commit d065bd810b6d ("mm: retry page fault when blocking on disk transfer") and
and commit 37b23e0525d3 ("x86,mm: make pagefault killable")
The above commits introduced changes into the nios2 pagefault handler
for making the page fault handler retryable as well as killable.
These changes reduce the mmap_sem hold time, which is crucial
during OOM killer invocation.

The core VM already knows about VM_FAULT_SIGBUS, but cannot return a
"you should SIGSEGV" error, because the SIGSEGV case was generally
handled by the caller - usually the architecture fault handler.
That results in lots of duplication - all the architecture fault
handlers end up doing very similar "look up vma, check permissions, do
retries etc" - but it generally works. However, there are cases where
the VM actually wants to SIGSEGV, and applications _expect_ SIGSEGV.
In particular, when accessing the stack guard page, libsigsegv expects a
SIGSEGV. And it usually got one, because the stack growth is handled by
that duplicated architecture fault handler.
However, when the generic VM layer started propagating the error return
from the stack expansion in commit fee7e49d4514 ("mm: propagate error
from stack expansion even for guard page"), that now exposed the
existing VM_FAULT_SIGBUS result to user space. And user space really
expected SIGSEGV, not SIGBUS.
To fix that case, we need to add a VM_FAULT_SIGSEGV, and teach all those
duplicate architecture fault handlers about it. They all already have
the code to handle SIGSEGV, so it's about just tying that new return
value to the existing code, but it's all a bit annoying.
This is the mindless minimal patch to do this. A more extensive patch
would be to try to gather up the mostly shared fault handling logic into
one generic helper routine, and long-term we really should do that
cleanup.
Just from this patch, you can generally see that most architectures just
copied (directly or indirectly) the old x86 way of doing things, but in
the meantime that original x86 model has been improved to hold the VM
semaphore for shorter times etc and to handle VM_FAULT_RETRY and other
"newer" things, so it would be a good idea to bring all those
improvements to the generic case and teach other architectures about
them too.
