mm: multi-gen LRU: thrashing prevention
Add /sys/kernel/mm/lru_gen/min_ttl_ms for thrashing prevention, as requested by many desktop users [1]. When set to value N, it prevents the working set of N milliseconds from getting evicted. The OOM killer is triggered if this working set cannot be kept in memory. Based on the average human detectable lag (~100ms), N=1000 usually eliminates intolerable lags due to thrashing. Larger values like N=3000 make lags less noticeable at the risk of premature OOM kills. Compared with the size-based approach [2], this time-based approach has the following advantages: 1. It is easier to configure because it is agnostic to applications and memory sizes. 2. It is more reliable because it is directly wired to the OOM killer.

mm: multi-gen LRU: kill switch
Add /sys/kernel/mm/lru_gen/enabled as a kill switch. Components that
can be disabled include:
0x0001: the multi-gen LRU core
0x0002: walking page table, when arch_has_hw_pte_young() returns
true
0x0004: clearing the accessed bit in non-leaf PMD entries, when
CONFIG_ARCH_HAS_NONLEAF_PMD_YOUNG=y
[yYnN]: apply to all the components above
E.g.,
echo y >/sys/kernel/mm/lru_gen/enabled
cat /sys/kernel/mm/lru_gen/enabled
0x0007
echo 5 >/sys/kernel/mm/lru_gen/enabled
cat /sys/kernel/mm/lru_gen/enabled
0x0005
NB: the page table walks happen on the scale of seconds under heavy memory
pressure, in which case the mmap_lock contention is a lesser concern,
compared with the LRU lock contention and the I/O congestion. So far the
only well-known case of the mmap_lock contention happens on Android, due
to Scudo [1] which allocates several thousand VMAs for merely a few
hundred MBs. The SPF and the Maple Tree also have provided their own
assessments [2][3]. However, if walking page tables does worsen the
mmap_lock contention, the kill switch can be used to disable it. In this
case the multi-gen LRU will suffer a minor performance degradation, as
shown previously.
Clearing the accessed bit in non-leaf PMD entries can also be disabled,
since this behavior was not tested on x86 varieties other than Intel and
AMD.

mm: multi-gen LRU: optimize multiple memcgs
When multiple memcgs are available, it is possible to use generations as a
frame of reference to make better choices and improve overall performance
under global memory pressure. This patch adds a basic optimization to
select memcgs that can drop single-use unmapped clean pages first. Doing
so reduces the chance of going into the aging path or swapping, which can
be costly.
A typical example that benefits from this optimization is a server running
mixed types of workloads, e.g., heavy anon workload in one memcg and heavy
buffered I/O workload in the other.
Though this optimization can be applied to both kswapd and direct reclaim,
it is only added to kswapd to keep the patchset manageable. Later
improvements may cover the direct reclaim path.
While ensuring certain fairness to all eligible memcgs, proportional scans
of individual memcgs also require proper backoff to avoid overshooting
their aggregate reclaim target by too much. Otherwise it can cause high
direct reclaim latency. The conditions for backoff are:
1. At low priorities, for direct reclaim, if aging fairness or direct
reclaim latency is at risk, i.e., aging one memcg multiple times or
swapping after the target is met.
2. At high priorities, for global reclaim, if per-zone free pages are
above respective watermarks.

mm: multi-gen LRU: support page table walks
To further exploit spatial locality, the aging prefers to walk page tables
to search for young PTEs and promote hot pages. A kill switch will be
added in the next patch to disable this behavior. When disabled, the
aging relies on the rmap only.
NB: this behavior has nothing similar with the page table scanning in the
2.4 kernel [1], which searches page tables for old PTEs, adds cold pages
to swapcache and unmaps them.
To avoid confusion, the term "iteration" specifically means the traversal
of an entire mm_struct list; the term "walk" will be applied to page
tables and the rmap, as usual.
An mm_struct list is maintained for each memcg, and an mm_struct follows
its owner task to the new memcg when this task is migrated. Given an
lruvec, the aging iterates lruvec_memcg()->mm_list and calls
walk_page_range() with each mm_struct on this list to promote hot pages
before it increments max_seq.
When multiple page table walkers iterate the same list, each of them gets
a unique mm_struct; therefore they can run concurrently. Page table
walkers ignore any misplaced pages, e.g., if an mm_struct was migrated,
pages it left in the previous memcg will not be promoted when its current
memcg is under reclaim. Similarly, page table walkers will not promote
pages from nodes other than the one under reclaim.
This patch uses the following optimizations when walking page tables:
1. It tracks the usage of mm_struct's between context switches so that
page table walkers can skip processes that have been sleeping since
the last iteration.
2. It uses generational Bloom filters to record populated branches so
that page table walkers can reduce their search space based on the
query results, e.g., to skip page tables containing mostly holes or
misplaced pages.
3. It takes advantage of the accessed bit in non-leaf PMD entries when
CONFIG_ARCH_HAS_NONLEAF_PMD_YOUNG=y.
4. It does not zigzag between a PGD table and the same PMD table
spanning multiple VMAs. IOW, it finishes all the VMAs within the
range of the same PMD table before it returns to a PGD table. This
improves the cache performance for workloads that have large
numbers of tiny VMAs [2], especially when CONFIG_PGTABLE_LEVELS=5.

mm: multi-gen LRU: exploit locality in rmap
Searching the rmap for PTEs mapping each page on an LRU list (to test and
clear the accessed bit) can be expensive because pages from different VMAs
(PA space) are not cache friendly to the rmap (VA space). For workloads
mostly using mapped pages, searching the rmap can incur the highest CPU
cost in the reclaim path.
This patch exploits spatial locality to reduce the trips into the rmap.
When shrink_page_list() walks the rmap and finds a young PTE, a new
function lru_gen_look_around() scans at most BITS_PER_LONG-1 adjacent
PTEs. On finding another young PTE, it clears the accessed bit and
updates the gen counter of the page mapped by this PTE to
(max_seq%MAX_NR_GENS)+1.

mm: multi-gen LRU: minimal implementation
To avoid confusion, the terms "promotion" and "demotion" will be applied
to the multi-gen LRU, as a new convention; the terms "activation" and
"deactivation" will be applied to the active/inactive LRU, as usual.
The aging produces young generations. Given an lruvec, it increments
max_seq when max_seq-min_seq+1 approaches MIN_NR_GENS. The aging promotes
hot pages to the youngest generation when it finds them accessed through
page tables; the demotion of cold pages happens consequently when it
increments max_seq. Promotion in the aging path does not involve any LRU
list operations, only the updates of the gen counter and
lrugen->nr_pages[]; demotion, unless as the result of the increment of
max_seq, requires LRU list operations, e.g., lru_deactivate_fn(). The
aging has the complexity O(nr_hot_pages), since it is only interested in
hot pages.
The eviction consumes old generations. Given an lruvec, it increments
min_seq when lrugen->lists[] indexed by min_seq%MAX_NR_GENS becomes empty.
A feedback loop modeled after the PID controller monitors refaults over
anon and file types and decides which type to evict when both types are
available from the same generation.
The protection of pages accessed multiple times through file descriptors
takes place in the eviction path. Each generation is divided into
multiple tiers. A page accessed N times through file descriptors is in
tier order_base_2(N). Tiers do not have dedicated lrugen->lists[], only
bits in folio->flags. The aforementioned feedback loop also monitors
refaults over all tiers and decides when to protect pages in which tiers
(N>1), using the first tier (N=0,1) as a baseline. The first tier
contains single-use unmapped clean pages, which are most likely the best
choices. In contrast to promotion in the aging path, the protection of a
page in the eviction path is achieved by moving this page to the next
generation, i.e., min_seq+1, if the feedback loop decides so. This
approach has the following advantages:
1. It removes the cost of activation in the buffered access path by
inferring whether pages accessed multiple times through file
descriptors are statistically hot and thus worth protecting in the
eviction path.
2. It takes pages accessed through page tables into account and avoids
overprotecting pages accessed multiple times through file
descriptors. (Pages accessed through page tables are in the first
tier, since N=0.)
3. More tiers provide better protection for pages accessed more than
twice through file descriptors, when under heavy buffered I/O
workloads.

mm: multi-gen LRU: groundwork
Evictable pages are divided into multiple generations for each lruvec. The youngest generation number is stored in lrugen->max_seq for both anon and file types as they are aged on an equal footing. The oldest generation numbers are stored in lrugen->min_seq[] separately for anon and file types as clean file pages can be evicted regardless of swap constraints. These three variables are monotonically increasing. Generation numbers are truncated into order_base_2(MAX_NR_GENS+1) bits in order to fit into the gen counter in folio->flags. Each truncated generation number is an index to lrugen->lists[]. The sliding window technique is used to track at least MIN_NR_GENS and at most MAX_NR_GENS generations. The gen counter stores a value within [1, MAX_NR_GENS] while a page is on one of lrugen->lists[]. Otherwise it stores 0. There are two conceptually independent procedures: "the aging", which produces young generations, and "the eviction", which consumes old generations. They form a closed-loop system, i.e., "the page reclaim". Both procedures can be invoked from userspace for the purposes of working set estimation and proactive reclaim. These techniques are commonly used to optimize job scheduling (bin packing) in data centers [1][2]. To avoid confusion, the terms "hot" and "cold" will be applied to the multi-gen LRU, as a new convention; the terms "active" and "inactive" will be applied to the active/inactive LRU, as usual. The protection of hot pages and the selection of cold pages are based on page access channels and patterns. There are two access channels: one through page tables and the other through file descriptors. The protection of the former channel is by design stronger because: 1. The uncertainty in determining the access patterns of the former channel is higher due to the approximation of the accessed bit. 2. The cost of evicting the former channel is higher due to the TLB flushes required and the likelihood of encountering the dirty bit. 3. The penalty of underprotecting the former channel is higher because applications usually do not prepare themselves for major page faults like they do for blocked I/O. E.g., GUI applications commonly use dedicated I/O threads to avoid blocking rendering threads. There are also two access patterns: one with temporal locality and the other without. For the reasons listed above, the former channel is assumed to follow the former pattern unless VM_SEQ_READ or VM_RAND_READ is present; the latter channel is assumed to follow the latter pattern unless outlying refaults have been observed [3][4]. The next patch will address the "outlying refaults". Three macros, i.e., LRU_REFS_WIDTH, LRU_REFS_PGOFF and LRU_REFS_MASK, used later are added in this patch to make the entire patchset less diffy. A page is added to the youngest generation on faulting. The aging needs to check the accessed bit at least twice before handing this page over to the eviction. The first check takes care of the accessed bit set on the initial fault; the second check makes sure this page has not been used since then. This protocol, AKA second chance, requires a minimum of two generations, hence MIN_NR_GENS.

mm: x86: add CONFIG_ARCH_HAS_NONLEAF_PMD_YOUNG
Some architectures support the accessed bit in non-leaf PMD entries, e.g., x86 sets the accessed bit in a non-leaf PMD entry when using it as part of linear address translation [1]. Page table walkers that clear the accessed bit may use this capability to reduce their search space. Note that: 1. Although an inline function is preferable, this capability is added as a configuration option for consistency with the existing macros. 2. Due to the little interest in other varieties, this capability was only tested on Intel and AMD CPUs. Thanks to the following developers for their efforts [2][3].

mm: x86, arm64: add arch_has_hw_pte_young()
Patch series "Multi-Gen LRU Framework", v14. What's new ========== 1. OpenWrt, in addition to Android, Arch Linux Zen, Armbian, ChromeOS, Liquorix, post-factum and XanMod, is now shipping MGLRU on 5.15. 2. Fixed long-tailed direct reclaim latency seen on high-memory (TBs) machines. The old direct reclaim backoff, which tries to enforce a minimum fairness among all eligible memcgs, over-swapped by about (total_mem>>DEF_PRIORITY)-nr_to_reclaim. The new backoff, which pulls the plug on swapping once the target is met, trades some fairness for curtailed latency: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20220918080010.2920238-10-yuzhao@google.com/ 3. Fixed minior build warnings and conflicts. More comments and nits. TLDR ==== The current page reclaim is too expensive in terms of CPU usage and it often makes poor choices about what to evict. This patchset offers an alternative solution that is performant, versatile and straightforward. Patchset overview ================= The design and implementation overview is in patch 14: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20220918080010.2920238-15-yuzhao@google.com/ 01. mm: x86, arm64: add arch_has_hw_pte_young() 02. mm: x86: add CONFIG_ARCH_HAS_NONLEAF_PMD_YOUNG Take advantage of hardware features when trying to clear the accessed bit in many PTEs. 03. mm/vmscan.c: refactor shrink_node() 04. Revert "include/linux/mm_inline.h: fold __update_lru_size() into its sole caller" Minor refactors to improve readability for the following patches. 05. mm: multi-gen LRU: groundwork Adds the basic data structure and the functions that insert pages to and remove pages from the multi-gen LRU (MGLRU) lists. 06. mm: multi-gen LRU: minimal implementation A minimal implementation without optimizations. 07. mm: multi-gen LRU: exploit locality in rmap Exploits spatial locality to improve efficiency when using the rmap. 08. mm: multi-gen LRU: support page table walks Further exploits spatial locality by optionally scanning page tables. 09. mm: multi-gen LRU: optimize multiple memcgs Optimizes the overall performance for multiple memcgs running mixed types of workloads. 10. mm: multi-gen LRU: kill switch Adds a kill switch to enable or disable MGLRU at runtime. 11. mm: multi-gen LRU: thrashing prevention 12. mm: multi-gen LRU: debugfs interface Provide userspace with features like thrashing prevention, working set estimation and proactive reclaim. 13. mm: multi-gen LRU: admin guide 14. mm: multi-gen LRU: design doc Add an admin guide and a design doc. Benchmark results ================= Independent lab results ----------------------- Based on the popularity of searches [01] and the memory usage in Google's public cloud, the most popular open-source memory-hungry applications, in alphabetical order, are: Apache Cassandra Memcached Apache Hadoop MongoDB Apache Spark PostgreSQL MariaDB (MySQL) Redis An independent lab evaluated MGLRU with the most widely used benchmark suites for the above applications. They posted 960 data points along with kernel metrics and perf profiles collected over more than 500 hours of total benchmark time. Their final reports show that, with 95% confidence intervals (CIs), the above applications all performed significantly better for at least part of their benchmark matrices. On 5.14: 1. Apache Spark [02] took 95% CIs [9.28, 11.19]% and [12.20, 14.93]% less wall time to sort three billion random integers, respectively, under the medium- and the high-concurrency conditions, when overcommitting memory. There were no statistically significant changes in wall time for the rest of the benchmark matrix. 2. MariaDB [03] achieved 95% CIs [5.24, 10.71]% and [20.22, 25.97]% more transactions per minute (TPM), respectively, under the medium- and the high-concurrency conditions, when overcommitting memory. There were no statistically significant changes in TPM for the rest of the benchmark matrix. 3. Memcached [04] achieved 95% CIs [23.54, 32.25]%, [20.76, 41.61]% and [21.59, 30.02]% more operations per second (OPS), respectively, for sequential access, random access and Gaussian (distribution) access, when THP=always; 95% CIs [13.85, 15.97]% and [23.94, 29.92]% more OPS, respectively, for random access and Gaussian access, when THP=never. There were no statistically significant changes in OPS for the rest of the benchmark matrix. 4. MongoDB [05] achieved 95% CIs [2.23, 3.44]%, [6.97, 9.73]% and [2.16, 3.55]% more operations per second (OPS), respectively, for exponential (distribution) access, random access and Zipfian (distribution) access, when underutilizing memory; 95% CIs [8.83, 10.03]%, [21.12, 23.14]% and [5.53, 6.46]% more OPS, respectively, for exponential access, random access and Zipfian access, when overcommitting memory. On 5.15: 5. Apache Cassandra [06] achieved 95% CIs [1.06, 4.10]%, [1.94, 5.43]% and [4.11, 7.50]% more operations per second (OPS), respectively, for exponential (distribution) access, random access and Zipfian (distribution) access, when swap was off; 95% CIs [0.50, 2.60]%, [6.51, 8.77]% and [3.29, 6.75]% more OPS, respectively, for exponential access, random access and Zipfian access, when swap was on. 6. Apache Hadoop [07] took 95% CIs [5.31, 9.69]% and [2.02, 7.86]% less average wall time to finish twelve parallel TeraSort jobs, respectively, under the medium- and the high-concurrency conditions, when swap was on. There were no statistically significant changes in average wall time for the rest of the benchmark matrix. 7. PostgreSQL [08] achieved 95% CI [1.75, 6.42]% more transactions per minute (TPM) under the high-concurrency condition, when swap was off; 95% CIs [12.82, 18.69]% and [22.70, 46.86]% more TPM, respectively, under the medium- and the high-concurrency conditions, when swap was on. There were no statistically significant changes in TPM for the rest of the benchmark matrix. 8. Redis [09] achieved 95% CIs [0.58, 5.94]%, [6.55, 14.58]% and [11.47, 19.36]% more total operations per second (OPS), respectively, for sequential access, random access and Gaussian (distribution) access, when THP=always; 95% CIs [1.27, 3.54]%, [10.11, 14.81]% and [8.75, 13.64]% more total OPS, respectively, for sequential access, random access and Gaussian access, when THP=never.

While developing, I have lots of apps opened such as multiple LSP-servers for different langs, chats, two browsers, etc... Usually, my system gets quickly to a point of SWAP-storms, where I have to kill LSP-servers, restart browsers to free memory, etc, otherwise the system lags heavily and is barely usable. 1.5 day ago I migrated from 5.11.15 kernel to 5.12 + the LRU patchset, and I started up by opening lots of apps to create memory pressure, and worked for a day like this. Till now I had not a single SWAP-storm, and mind you I got 3.4G in SWAP. I was never getting to the point of 3G in SWAP before without a single SWAP-storm. Vaibhav from IBM reported [12]: In a synthetic MongoDB Benchmark, seeing an average of ~19% throughput improvement on POWER10(Radix MMU + 64K Page Size) with MGLRU patches on top of 5.16 kernel for MongoDB + YCSB across three different request distributions, namely, Exponential, Uniform and Zipfan. Shuang from U of Rochester reported [13]: With the MGLRU, fio achieved 95% CIs [38.95, 40.26]%, [4.12, 6.64]% and [9.26, 10.36]% higher throughput, respectively, for random access, Zipfian (distribution) access and Gaussian (distribution) access, when the average number of jobs per CPU is 1; 95% CIs [42.32, 49.15]%, [9.44, 9.89]% and [20.99, 22.86]% higher throughput, respectively, for random access, Zipfian access and Gaussian access, when the average number of jobs per CPU is 2. Daniel from Michigan Tech reported [14]: With Memcached allocating ~100GB of byte-addressable Optante, performance improvement in terms of throughput (measured as queries per second) was about 10% for a series of workloads. Large-scale deployments ----------------------- We've rolled out MGLRU to tens of millions of ChromeOS users and about a million Android users. Google's fleetwide profiling [15] shows an overall 40% decrease in kswapd CPU usage, in addition to improvements in other UX metrics, e.g., an 85% decrease in the number of low-memory kills at the 75th percentile and an 18% decrease in app launch time at the 50th percentile. The downstream kernels that have been using MGLRU include: 1. Android [16] 2. Arch Linux Zen [17] 3. Armbian [18] 4. ChromeOS [19] 5. Liquorix [20] 6. OpenWrt [21] 7. post-factum [22] 8.

The independent lab results and the real-world applications indicate substantial improvements; there are no known regressions. 2. Thrashing prevention, working set estimation and proactive reclaim work out of the box; there are no equivalent solutions. 3. There is a lot of new code; no smaller changes have been demonstrated similar effects. Our options, accordingly, are: 1. Given the amount of evidence, the reported improvements will likely materialize for a wide range of workloads. 2. Gauging the interest from the past discussions, the new features will likely be put to use for both personal computers and data centers. 3. Based on Google's track record, the new code will likely be well maintained in the long term. It'd be more difficult if not impossible to achieve similar effects with other approaches. This patch (of 14): Some architectures automatically set the accessed bit in PTEs, e.g., x86 and arm64 v8.2. On architectures that do not have this capability, clearing the accessed bit in a PTE usually triggers a page fault following the TLB miss of this PTE (to emulate the accessed bit). Being aware of this capability can help make better decisions, e.g., whether to spread the work out over a period of time to reduce bursty page faults when trying to clear the accessed bit in many PTEs. Note that theoretically this capability can be unreliable, e.g., hotplugged CPUs might be different from builtin ones. Therefore it should not be used in architecture-independent code that involves correctness, e.g., to determine whether TLB flushes are required (in combination with the accessed bit).

mm/page_io: count submission time as thrashing delay for delayacct
Once upon a time, we only support accounting thrashing of page cache.
Then Joonsoo introduced workingset detection for anonymous pages and we
gained the ability to account thrashing of them[1].
Likes PSI, we count submission time as thrashing delay because when the
device is congested, or the submitting cgroup IO-throttled, submission can
be a significant part of overall IO time.
Without this patch, swap thrashing through frontswap or some block
device supporting rw_page operation isn't measured correctly.
This patch is based on "delayacct: support re-entrance detection of
thrashing accounting".

delayacct: support re-entrance detection of thrashing accounting
Once upon a time, we only support accounting thrashing of page cache.
Then Joonsoo introduced workingset detection for anonymous pages and we
gained the ability to account thrashing of them[1].
For page cache thrashing accounting, there is no suitable place to do it
in fs level likes swap_readpage(). So we have to do it in
folio_wait_bit_common().
Then for anonymous pages thrashing accounting, we have to do it in both
swap_readpage() and folio_wait_bit_common(). This likes PSI, so we should
let thrashing accounting supports re-entrance detection.
This patch is to prepare complete thrashing accounting, and is based on
patch "filemap: make the accounting of thrashing more consistent".

mm: migrate: do not retry 10 times for the subpages of fail-to-migrate THP
If THP is failed to migrate due to -ENOSYS or -ENOMEM case, the THP will be split, and the subpages of fail-to-migrate THP will be tried to migrate again, so we should not account the retry counter in the second loop, since we already accounted 'nr_thp_failed' in the first loop. Moreover we also do not need retry 10 times for -EAGAIN case for the subpages of fail-to-migrate THP in the second loop, since we already regarded the THP as migration failure, and save some migration time (for the worst case, will try 512 * 10 times) according to previous discussion [1].

migrate_pages(): fix failure counting for retry
After 10 retries, we will give up and the remaining pages will be counted
as failure in nr_failed and nr_thp_failed. We should count the failure in
nr_failed_pages too. This is done in this patch.

migrate_pages(): fix failure counting for THP splitting
If THP is failed to be migrated, it may be split and retry. But after
splitting, the head page will be left in "from" list, although THP
migration failure has been counted already. If the head page is failed to
be migrated too, the failure will be counted twice incorrectly. So this
is fixed in this patch via moving the head page of THP after splitting to
"thp_split_pages" too.

migrate_pages(): fix failure counting for THP on -ENOSYS
If THP or hugetlbfs page migration isn't supported, unmap_and_move() or
unmap_and_move_huge_page() will return -ENOSYS. For THP, splitting will
be tried, but if splitting doesn't succeed, the THP will be left in "from"
list wrongly. If some other pages are retried, the THP migration failure
will counted again. This is fixed via moving the failure THP from "from"
to "ret_pages".
Another issue of the original code is that the unsupported failure
processing isn't consistent between THP and hugetlbfs page. Make them
consistent in this patch to make the code easier to be understood too.

migrate_pages(): fix THP failure counting for -ENOMEM
In unmap_and_move(), if the new THP cannot be allocated, -ENOMEM will be
returned, and migrate_pages() will try to split the THP unless "reason" is
MR_NUMA_MISPLACED (that is, nosplit == true). But when nosplit == true,
the THP migration failure will not be counted.
This is incorrect, so in this patch, the THP migration failure will be
counted for -ENOMEM regardless of nosplit is true or false. The nr_failed
counting isn't fixed because it's not used. Added some comments for it
per Baolin's suggestion.

migrate: fix syscall move_pages() return value for failure
Patch series "migrate_pages(): fix several bugs in error path", v3.
During review the code of migrate_pages() and build a test program for
it. Several bugs in error path are identified and fixed in this
series.
Most patches are tested via
- Apply error-inject.patch in Linux kernel
- Compile test-migrate.c (with -lnuma)
- Test with test-migrate.sh
error-inject.patch, test-migrate.c, and test-migrate.sh are as below.
It turns out that error injection is an important tool to fix bugs in

mm/swap: cache swap migration A/D bits support
Introduce a variable swap_migration_ad_supported to cache whether the arch
supports swap migration A/D bits.
Here one thing to mention is that SWP_MIG_TOTAL_BITS will internally
reference the other macro MAX_PHYSMEM_BITS, which is a function call on
x86 (constant on all the rest of archs).
It's safe to reference it in swapfile_init() because when reaching here
we're already during initcalls level 4 so we must have initialized 5-level
pgtable for x86_64 (right after early_identify_cpu() finishes).
- start_kernel
- setup_arch
- early_cpu_init
- get_cpu_cap --> fetch from CPUID (including X86_FEATURE_LA57)
- early_identify_cpu --> clear X86_FEATURE_LA57 (if early lvl5 not enabled (USE_EARLY_PGTABLE_L5))
- arch_call_rest_init
- rest_init
- kernel_init
- kernel_init_freeable
- do_basic_setup
- do_initcalls --> calls swapfile_init() (initcall level 4)
This should slightly speed up the migration swap entry handlings.

mm/swap: cache maximum swapfile size when init swap
We used to have swapfile_maximum_size() fetching a maximum value of
swapfile size per-arch.
As the caller of max_swapfile_size() grows, this patch introduce a
variable "swapfile_maximum_size" and cache the value of old
max_swapfile_size(), so that we don't need to calculate the value every
time.
Caching the value in swapfile_init() is safe because when reaching the
phase we should have initialized all the relevant information. Here the
major arch to take care of is x86, which defines the max swapfile size
based on L1TF mitigation.
Here both X86_BUG_L1TF or l1tf_mitigation should have been setup properly
when reaching swapfile_init(). As a reference, the code path looks like
this for x86:
- start_kernel
- setup_arch
- early_cpu_init
- early_identify_cpu --> setup X86_BUG_L1TF
- parse_early_param
- l1tf_cmdline --> set l1tf_mitigation
- check_bugs
- l1tf_select_mitigation --> set l1tf_mitigation
- arch_call_rest_init
- rest_init
- kernel_init
- kernel_init_freeable
- do_basic_setup
- do_initcalls --> calls swapfile_init() (initcall level 4)
The swapfile size only depends on swp pte format on non-x86 archs, so
caching it is safe too.
Since at it, rename max_swapfile_size() to arch_max_swapfile_size()
because arch can define its own function, so it's more straightforward to
have "arch_" as its prefix. At the meantime, export swapfile_maximum_size
to replace the old usages of max_swapfile_size().

mm: remember young/dirty bit for page migrations
When page migration happens, we always ignore the young/dirty bit settings in the old pgtable, and marking the page as old in the new page table using either pte_mkold() or pmd_mkold(), and keeping the pte clean. That's fine from functional-wise, but that's not friendly to page reclaim because the moving page can be actively accessed within the procedure. Not to mention hardware setting the young bit can bring quite some overhead on some systems, e.g. x86_64 needs a few hundreds nanoseconds to set the bit. The same slowdown problem to dirty bits when the memory is first written after page migration happened. Actually we can easily remember the A/D bit configuration and recover the information after the page is migrated. To achieve it, define a new set of bits in the migration swap offset field to cache the A/D bits for old pte. Then when removing/recovering the migration entry, we can recover the A/D bits even if the page changed. One thing to mention is that here we used max_swapfile_size() to detect how many swp offset bits we have, and we'll only enable this feature if we know the swp offset is big enough to store both the PFN value and the A/D bits. Otherwise the A/D bits are dropped like before.
