- Yu Zhao's Multi-Gen LRU patches are here. They've been under test in
linux-next for a couple of months without, to my knowledge, any
negative reports (or any positive ones, come to that).
- Also the Maple Tree from Liam Howlett. An overlapping range-based
tree for vmas. It it apparently slightly more efficient in its own
right, but is mainly targeted at enabling work to reduce mmap_lock

Liam has identified a number of other tree users in the kernel which
could be beneficially onverted to mapletrees.
Yu Zhao has identified a hard-to-hit but "easy to fix" lockdep splat
at [1]. This has yet to be addressed due to Liam's unfortunately

Commit 2e13ba54a2 ("fs, proc: introduce CONFIG_PROC_CHILDREN")
introduces the config PROC_CHILDREN to configure kernels to provide the
/proc/<pid>/task/<tid>/children file.
When one deselects PROC_FS for kernel builds without /proc/, the config
PROC_CHILDREN has no effect anymore, but is still visible in menuconfig.
Add the dependency on PROC_FS to make the PROC_CHILDREN option disappear
for kernel builds without /proc/.

Patch series "ksm: count allocated rmap_items and update documentation",
v5.
KSM can save memory by merging identical pages, but also can consume
additional memory, because it needs to generate rmap_items to save each
scanned page's brief rmap information.
To determine how beneficial the ksm-policy (like madvise), they are using
brings, so we add a new interface /proc/<pid>/ksm_stat for each process
The value "ksm_rmap_items" in it indicates the total allocated ksm
rmap_items of this process.
The detailed description can be seen in the following patches' commit
message.
This patch (of 2):
KSM can save memory by merging identical pages, but also can consume
additional memory, because it needs to generate rmap_items to save each
scanned page's brief rmap information. Some of these pages may be merged,
but some may not be abled to be merged after being checked several times,
which are unprofitable memory consumed.
The information about whether KSM save memory or consume memory in
system-wide range can be determined by the comprehensive calculation of
pages_sharing, pages_shared, pages_unshared and pages_volatile. A simple
approximate calculation:
profit =~ pages_sharing * sizeof(page) - (all_rmap_items) *
sizeof(rmap_item);
where all_rmap_items equals to the sum of pages_sharing, pages_shared,
pages_unshared and pages_volatile.
But we cannot calculate this kind of ksm profit inner single-process wide
because the information of ksm rmap_item's number of a process is lacked.
For user applications, if this kind of information could be obtained, it
helps upper users know how beneficial the ksm-policy (like madvise) they
are using brings, and then optimize their app code. For example, one
application madvise 1000 pages as MERGEABLE, while only a few pages are
really merged, then it's not cost-efficient.
So we add a new interface /proc/<pid>/ksm_stat for each process in which
the value of ksm_rmap_itmes is only shown now and so more values can be
added in future.
So similarly, we can calculate the ksm profit approximately for a single
process by:
profit =~ ksm_merging_pages * sizeof(page) - ksm_rmap_items *
sizeof(rmap_item);
where ksm_merging_pages is shown at /proc/<pid>/ksm_merging_pages, and
ksm_rmap_items is shown in /proc/<pid>/ksm_stat.

We've got a bunch of special swap entries that stores PFN inside the swap
offset fields. To fetch the PFN, normally the user just calls
swp_offset() assuming that'll be the PFN.
Add a helper swp_offset_pfn() to fetch the PFN instead, fetching only the
max possible length of a PFN on the host, meanwhile doing proper check
with MAX_PHYSMEM_BITS to make sure the swap offsets can actually store the
PFNs properly always using the BUILD_BUG_ON() in is_pfn_swap_entry().
One reason to do so is we never tried to sanitize whether swap offset can
really fit for storing PFN. At the meantime, this patch also prepares us
with the future possibility to store more information inside the swp
offset field, so assuming "swp_offset(entry)" to be the PFN will not stand
any more very soon.
Replace many of the swp_offset() callers to use swp_offset_pfn() where
proper. Note that many of the existing users are not candidates for the
replacement, e.g.:
(1) When the swap entry is not a pfn swap entry at all, or,
(2) when we wanna keep the whole swp_offset but only change the swp type.
For the latter, it can happen when fork() triggered on a write-migration
swap entry pte, we may want to only change the migration type from
write->read but keep the rest, so it's not "fetching PFN" but "changing
swap type only". They're left aside so that when there're more
information within the swp offset they'll be carried over naturally in
those cases.
Since at it, dropping hwpoison_entry_to_pfn() because that's exactly what
the new swp_offset_pfn() is about.

We keep track of several kernel memory stats (total kernel memory, page
tables, stack, vmalloc, etc) on multiple levels (global, per-node,
per-memcg, etc). These stats give insights to users to how much memory
is used by the kernel and for what purposes.
Currently, memory used by KVM mmu is not accounted in any of those
kernel memory stats. This patch series accounts the memory pages
used by KVM for page tables in those stats in a new
NR_SECONDARY_PAGETABLE stat. This stat can be later extended to account
for other types of secondary pages tables (e.g. iommu page tables).
KVM has a decent number of large allocations that aren't for page
tables, but for most of them, the number/size of those allocations
scales linearly with either the number of vCPUs or the amount of memory
assigned to the VM. KVM's secondary page table allocations do not scale
linearly, especially when nested virtualization is in use.
From a KVM perspective, NR_SECONDARY_PAGETABLE will scale with KVM's
per-VM pages_{4k,2m,1g} stats unless the guest is doing something
bizarre (e.g. accessing only 4kb chunks of 2mb pages so that KVM is
forced to allocate a large number of page tables even though the guest
isn't accessing that much memory). However, someone would need to either
understand how KVM works to make that connection, or know (or be told) to
go look at KVM's stats if they're running VMs to better decipher the stats.
Furthermore, having NR_PAGETABLE side-by-side with NR_SECONDARY_PAGETABLE
is informative. For example, when backing a VM with THP vs. HugeTLB,
NR_SECONDARY_PAGETABLE is roughly the same, but NR_PAGETABLE is an order
of magnitude higher with THP. So having this stat will at the very least
prove to be useful for understanding tradeoffs between VM backing types,
and likely even steer folks towards potential optimizations.
The original discussion with more details about the rationale:
https://lore.kernel.org/all/87ilqoi77b.wl-maz@kernel.org
This stat will be used by subsequent patches to count KVM mmu
memory usage.

These bits should only be valid when the ptes are present. Introducing
two booleans for it and set it to false when !pte_present() for both pte
and pmd accountings.
The bug is found during code reading and no real world issue reported, but
logically such an error can cause incorrect readings for either smaps or
smaps_rollup output on quite a few fields.
For example, it could cause over-estimate on values like Shared_Dirty,
Private_Dirty, Referenced. Or it could also cause under-estimate on
values like LazyFree, Shared_Clean, Private_Clean.
