2bb6d28370 mm: introduce get_user_pages_longterm
Patch series "introduce get_user_pages_longterm()", v2.

Here is a new get_user_pages api for cases where a driver intends to
keep an elevated page count indefinitely.  This is distinct from usages
like iov_iter_get_pages where the elevated page counts are transient.
The iov_iter_get_pages cases immediately turn around and submit the
pages to a device driver which will put_page when the i/o operation
completes (under kernel control).

In the longterm case userspace is responsible for dropping the page
reference at some undefined point in the future.  This is untenable for
filesystem-dax case where the filesystem is in control of the lifetime
of the block / page and needs reasonable limits on how long it can wait
for pages in a mapping to become idle.

Fixing filesystems to actually wait for dax pages to be idle before
blocks from a truncate/hole-punch operation are repurposed is saved for
a later patch series.

Also, allowing longterm registration of dax mappings is a future patch
series that introduces a "map with lease" semantic where the kernel can
revoke a lease and force userspace to drop its page references.

I have also tagged these for -stable to purposely break cases that might
assume that longterm memory registrations for filesystem-dax mappings
were supported by the kernel.  The behavior regression this policy
change implies is one of the reasons we maintain the "dax enabled.
Warning: EXPERIMENTAL, use at your own risk" notification when mounting
a filesystem in dax mode.

It is worth noting the device-dax interface does not suffer the same
constraints since it does not support file space management operations
like hole-punch.

This patch (of 4):

Until there is a solution to the dma-to-dax vs truncate problem it is
not safe to allow long standing memory registrations against
filesytem-dax vmas.  Device-dax vmas do not have this problem and are
explicitly allowed.

This is temporary until a "memory registration with layout-lease"
mechanism can be implemented for the affected sub-systems (RDMA and
V4L2).

31383c6865 mm, hugetlbfs: introduce ->split() to vm_operations_struct
Patch series "device-dax: fix unaligned munmap handling"

When device-dax is operating in huge-page mode we want it to behave like
hugetlbfs and fail attempts to split vmas into unaligned ranges.  It
would be messy to teach the munmap path about device-dax alignment
constraints in the same (hstate) way that hugetlbfs communicates this
constraint.  Instead, these patches introduce a new ->split() vm
operation.

This patch (of 2):

The device-dax interface has similar constraints as hugetlbfs in that it
requires the munmap path to unmap in huge page aligned units.  Rather
than add more custom vma handling code in __split_vma() introduce a new
vm operation to perform this vma specific check.

a3841f94c7 Merge tag 'libnvdimm-for-4.15' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/nvdimm/nvdimm
Pull libnvdimm and dax updates from Dan Williams:
 "Save for a few late fixes, all of these commits have shipped in -next
  releases since before the merge window opened, and 0day has given a
  build success notification.

  The ext4 touches came from Jan, and the xfs touches have Darrick's
  reviewed-by. An xfstest for the MAP_SYNC feature has been through
  a few round of reviews and is on track to be merged.

   - Introduce MAP_SYNC and MAP_SHARED_VALIDATE, a mechanism to enable
     'userspace flush' of persistent memory updates via filesystem-dax
     mappings. It arranges for any filesystem metadata updates that may
     be required to satisfy a write fault to also be flushed ("on disk")
     before the kernel returns to userspace from the fault handler.
     Effectively every write-fault that dirties metadata completes an
     fsync() before returning from the fault handler. The new
     MAP_SHARED_VALIDATE mapping type guarantees that the MAP_SYNC flag
     is validated as supported by the filesystem's ->mmap() file
     operation.

   - Add support for the standard ACPI 6.2 label access methods that
     replace the NVDIMM_FAMILY_INTEL (vendor specific) label methods.
     This enables interoperability with environments that only implement
     the standardized methods.

   - Add support for the ACPI 6.2 NVDIMM media error injection methods.

   - Add support for the NVDIMM_FAMILY_INTEL v1.6 DIMM commands for
     latch last shutdown status, firmware update, SMART error injection,
     and SMART alarm threshold control.

   - Cleanup physical address information disclosures to be root-only.

   - Fix revalidation of the DIMM "locked label area" status to support
     dynamic unlock of the label area.

   - Expand unit test infrastructure to mock the ACPI 6.2 Translate SPA
     (system-physical-address) command and error injection commands.

736304f324 mm: speed up cancel_dirty_page() for clean pages
Patch series "Speed up page cache truncation", v1.

When rebasing our enterprise distro to a newer kernel (from 4.4 to 4.12)
we have noticed a regression in bonnie++ benchmark when deleting files.
Eventually we have tracked this down to a fact that page cache
truncation got slower by about 10%.  There were both gains and losses in
the above interval of kernels but we have been able to identify that
commit 83929372f6 ("filemap: prepare find and delete operations for
huge pages") caused about 10% regression on its own.

After some investigation it didn't seem easily possible to fix the
regression while maintaining the THP in page cache functionality so
we've decided to optimize the page cache truncation path instead to make
up for the change.  This series is a result of that effort.

Patch 1 is an easy speedup of cancel_dirty_page().  Patches 2-6 refactor
page cache truncation code so that it is easier to batch radix tree
operations.  Patch 7 implements batching of deletes from the radix tree
which more than makes up for the original regression.

This patch (of 7):

cancel_dirty_page() does quite some work even for clean pages (fetching
of mapping, locking of memcg, atomic bit op on page flags) so it
accounts for ~2.5% of cost of truncation of a clean page.  That is not
much but still dumb for something we don't need at all.  Check whether a
page is actually dirty and avoid any work if not.

a4a3ede213 mm: zero reserved and unavailable struct pages
Some memory is reserved but unavailable: not present in memblock.memory
(because not backed by physical pages), but present in memblock.reserved.
Such memory has backing struct pages, but they are not initialized by
going through __init_single_page().

In some cases these struct pages are accessed even if they do not
contain any data.  One example is page_to_pfn() might access page->flags
if this is where section information is stored (CONFIG_SPARSEMEM,
SECTION_IN_PAGE_FLAGS).

One example of such memory: trim_low_memory_range() unconditionally
reserves from pfn 0, but e820__memblock_setup() might provide the
exiting memory from pfn 1 (i.e.  KVM).

Since struct pages are zeroed in __init_single_page(), and not during
allocation time, we must zero such struct pages explicitly.

The patch involves adding a new memblock iterator:
	for_each_resv_unavail_range(i, p_start, p_end)

Which iterates through reserved && !memory lists, and we zero struct pages
explicitly by calling mm_zero_struct_page().

===

Here is more detailed example of problem that this patch is addressing:

Run tested on qemu with the following arguments:

	-enable-kvm -cpu kvm64 -m 512 -smp 2

This patch reports that there are 98 unavailable pages.

They are: pfn 0 and pfns in range [159, 255].

Note, trim_low_memory_range() reserves only pfns in range [0, 15], it does
not reserve [159, 255] ones.

e820__memblock_setup() reports linux that the following physical ranges are
available:
    [1 , 158]
[256, 130783]

Notice, that exactly unavailable pfns are missing!

Now, lets check what we have in zone 0: [1, 131039]

pfn 0, is not part of the zone, but pfns [1, 158], are.

However, the bigger problem we have if we do not initialize these struct
pages is with memory hotplug.  Because, that path operates at 2M
boundaries (section_nr).  And checks if 2M range of pages is hot
removable.  It starts with first pfn from zone, rounds it down to 2M
boundary (sturct pages are allocated at 2M boundaries when vmemmap is
created), and checks if that section is hot removable.  In this case
start with pfn 1 and convert it down to pfn 0.  Later pfn is converted
to struct page, and some fields are checked.  Now, if we do not zero
struct pages, we get unpredictable results.

In fact when CONFIG_VM_DEBUG is enabled, and we explicitly set all
vmemmap memory to ones, the following panic is observed with kernel test
without this patch applied:

af5b0f6a09 mm: consolidate page table accounting
Currently, we account page tables separately for each page table level,
but that's redundant -- we only make use of total memory allocated to
page tables for oom_badness calculation.  We also provide the
information to userspace, but it has dubious value there too.

This patch switches page table accounting to single counter.

mm->pgtables_bytes is now used to account all page table levels.  We use
bytes, because page table size for different levels of page table tree
may be different.

The change has user-visible effect: we don't have VmPMD and VmPUD
reported in /proc/[pid]/status.  Not sure if anybody uses them.  (As
alternative, we can always report 0 kB for them.)

OOM-killer report is also slightly changed: we now report pgtables_bytes
instead of nr_ptes, nr_pmd, nr_puds.

Apart from reducing number of counters per-mm, the benefit is that we
now calculate oom_badness() more correctly for machines which have
different size of page tables depending on level or where page tables
are less than a page in size.

The only downside can be debuggability because we do not know which page
table level could leak.  But I do not remember many bugs that would be
caught by separate counters so I wouldn't lose sleep over this.

It's preparation for consolidation of page-table counters in mm_struct.

b4e98d9ac7 mm: account pud page tables
On a machine with 5-level paging support a process can allocate
significant amount of memory and stay unnoticed by oom-killer and memory
cgroup.  The trick is to allocate a lot of PUD page tables.  We don't
account PUD page tables, only PMD and PTE.

We already addressed the same issue for PMD page tables, see commit
dc6c9a35b6 ("mm: account pmd page tables to the process").
Introduction of 5-level paging brings the same issue for PUD page
tables.

The patch expands accounting to PUD level.

fdstasync(2) for returned extent to become persistent and use it in DAX
fault code so that we don't map such extents into page tables
immediately. Instead we propagate the information that fdatasync(2) is
necessary from dax_iomap_fault() with a new VM_FAULT_NEEDDSYNC flag.
Filesystem fault handler is then responsible for calling fdatasync(2)

b24413180f License cleanup: add SPDX GPL-2.0 license identifier to files with no license
Many source files in the tree are missing licensing information, which
makes it harder for compliance tools to determine the correct license.

By default all files without license information are under the default
license of the kernel, which is GPL version 2.

Update the files which contain no license information with the 'GPL-2.0'
SPDX license identifier.  The SPDX identifier is a legally binding
shorthand, which can be used instead of the full boiler plate text.

This patch is based on work done by Thomas Gleixner and Kate Stewart and
Philippe Ombredanne.

How this work was done:

Patches were generated and checked against linux-4.14-rc6 for a subset of
the use cases:
 - file had no licensing information it it.
 - file was a */uapi/* one with no licensing information in it,
 - file was a */uapi/* one with existing licensing information,

Further patches will be generated in subsequent months to fix up cases
where non-standard license headers were used, and references to license
had to be inferred by heuristics based on keywords.

The analysis to determine which SPDX License Identifier to be applied to
a file was done in a spreadsheet of side by side results from of the
output of two independent scanners (ScanCode & Windriver) producing SPDX
tag:value files created by Philippe Ombredanne.  Philippe prepared the
base worksheet, and did an initial spot review of a few 1000 files.

The 4.13 kernel was the starting point of the analysis with 60,537 files
assessed.  Kate Stewart did a file by file comparison of the scanner
results in the spreadsheet to determine which SPDX license identifier(s)
to be applied to the file. She confirmed any determination that was not
immediately clear with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.

Criteria used to select files for SPDX license identifier tagging was:
 - Files considered eligible had to be source code files.
 - Make and config files were included as candidates if they contained >5
   lines of source
 - File already had some variant of a license header in it (even if <5
   lines).

All documentation files were explicitly excluded.

The following heuristics were used to determine which SPDX license
identifiers to apply.

 - when both scanners couldn't find any license traces, file was
   considered to have no license information in it, and the top level
   COPYING file license applied.

   For non */uapi/* files that summary was:

   SPDX license identifier                            # files
   ---------------------------------------------------|-------
   GPL-2.0                                              11139

   and resulted in the first patch in this series.

   If that file was a */uapi/* path one, it was "GPL-2.0 WITH
   Linux-syscall-note" otherwise it was "GPL-2.0".  Results of that was:

   SPDX license identifier                            # files
   ---------------------------------------------------|-------
   GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note                        930

   and resulted in the second patch in this series.

 - if a file had some form of licensing information in it, and was one
   of the */uapi/* ones, it was denoted with the Linux-syscall-note if
   any GPL family license was found in the file or had no licensing in
   it (per prior point).  Results summary:

   SPDX license identifier                            # files

   and that resulted in the third patch in this series.

 - when the two scanners agreed on the detected license(s), that became
   the concluded license(s).

 - when there was disagreement between the two scanners (one detected a
   license but the other didn't, or they both detected different
   licenses) a manual inspection of the file occurred.

 - In most cases a manual inspection of the information in the file
   resulted in a clear resolution of the license that should apply (and
   which scanner probably needed to revisit its heuristics).

 - When it was not immediately clear, the license identifier was
   confirmed with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.

 - If there was any question as to the appropriate license identifier,
   the file was flagged for further research and to be revisited later
   in time.

In total, over 70 hours of logged manual review was done on the
spreadsheet to determine the SPDX license identifiers to apply to the
source files by Kate, Philippe, Thomas and, in some cases, confirmation
by lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.

Kate also obtained a third independent scan of the 4.13 code base from
FOSSology, and compared selected files where the other two scanners
disagreed against that SPDX file, to see if there was new insights.  The
Windriver scanner is based on an older version of FOSSology in part, so
they are related.

Thomas did random spot checks in about 500 files from the spreadsheets
for the uapi headers and agreed with SPDX license identifier in the
files he inspected. For the non-uapi files Thomas did random spot checks
in about 15000 files.

In initial set of patches against 4.14-rc6, 3 files were found to have
copy/paste license identifier errors, and have been fixed to reflect the
correct identifier.

Additionally Philippe spent 10 hours this week doing a detailed manual
inspection and review of the 12,461 patched files from the initial patch
version early this week with:
 - a full scancode scan run, collecting the matched texts, detected
   license ids and scores
 - reviewing anything where there was a license detected (about 500+
   files) to ensure that the applied SPDX license was correct
 - reviewing anything where there was no detection but the patch license
   was not GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note to ensure that the applied
   SPDX license was correct

This produced a worksheet with 20 files needing minor correction.  This
worksheet was then exported into 3 different .csv files for the
different types of files to be modified.

These .csv files were then reviewed by Greg.  Thomas wrote a script to
parse the csv files and add the proper SPDX tag to the file, in the
format that the file expected.  This script was further refined by Greg
based on the output to detect more types of files automatically and to
distinguish between header and source .c files (which need different
comment types.)  Finally Greg ran the script using the .csv files to
generate the patches.

15670bfe19 x86/mm/64: Rename the register_page_bootmem_memmap() 'size' parameter to 'nr_pages'
register_page_bootmem_memmap()'s 3rd 'size' parameter is named
in a somewhat misleading fashion - rename it to 'nr_pages' which
makes the units of it much clearer.

Meanwhile rename the existing local variable 'nr_pages' to
'nr_pmd_pages', a more expressive name, to avoid conflict with
new function parameter 'nr_pages'.

(Also clean up the unnecessary parentheses in which get_order() is called.)

fa87b91c94 include/linux/mm.h: fix typo in VM_MPX definition
There's a typo in recent change of VM_MPX definition.  We want it to be
VM_HIGH_ARCH_4, not VM_HIGH_ARCH_BIT_4.

This bug does cause visible regressions.  In arch_vma_name the vmflags
are tested against VM_MPX.  With the incorrect value of VM_MPX, a number
of vmas (such as the stack) test positive and end up being marked as
"[mpx]" in /proc/N/maps instead of their correct names.

This confuses tools like rr which expect to be able to find familiar
vmas.

f808c13fd3 lib/interval_tree: fast overlap detection
Allow interval trees to quickly check for overlaps to avoid unnecesary
tree lookups in interval_tree_iter_first().

As of this patch, all interval tree flavors will require using a
'rb_root_cached' such that we can have the leftmost node easily
available.  While most users will make use of this feature, those with
special functions (in addition to the generic insert, delete, search
calls) will avoid using the cached option as they can do funky things
with insertions -- for example, vma_interval_tree_insert_after().

5042db43cc mm/ZONE_DEVICE: new type of ZONE_DEVICE for unaddressable memory
HMM (heterogeneous memory management) need struct page to support
migration from system main memory to device memory.  Reasons for HMM and
migration to device memory is explained with HMM core patch.

This patch deals with device memory that is un-addressable memory (ie CPU
can not access it).  Hence we do not want those struct page to be manage
like regular memory.  That is why we extend ZONE_DEVICE to support
different types of memory.

A persistent memory type is define for existing user of ZONE_DEVICE and a
new device un-addressable type is added for the un-addressable memory
type.  There is a clear separation between what is expected from each
memory type and existing user of ZONE_DEVICE are un-affected by new
requirement and new use of the un-addressable type.  All specific code
path are protect with test against the memory type.

Because memory is un-addressable we use a new special swap type for when a
page is migrated to device memory (this reduces the number of maximum swap
file).

The main two additions beside memory type to ZONE_DEVICE is two callbacks.
First one, page_free() is call whenever page refcount reach 1 (which
means the page is free as ZONE_DEVICE page never reach a refcount of 0).
This allow device driver to manage its memory and associated struct page.

The second callback page_fault() happens when there is a CPU access to an
address that is back by a device page (which are un-addressable by the
CPU).  This callback is responsible to migrate the page back to system
main memory.  Device driver can not block migration back to system memory,
HMM make sure that such page can not be pin into device memory.

If device is in some error condition and can not migrate memory back then
a CPU page fault to device memory should end with SIGBUS.

d2cd9ede6e mm,fork: introduce MADV_WIPEONFORK
Introduce MADV_WIPEONFORK semantics, which result in a VMA being empty
in the child process after fork.  This differs from MADV_DONTFORK in one
important way.

If a child process accesses memory that was MADV_WIPEONFORK, it will get
zeroes.  The address ranges are still valid, they are just empty.

If a child process accesses memory that was MADV_DONTFORK, it will get a
segmentation fault, since those address ranges are no longer valid in
the child after fork.

Since MADV_DONTFORK also seems to be used to allow very large programs
to fork in systems with strict memory overcommit restrictions, changing
the semantics of MADV_DONTFORK might break existing programs.

MADV_WIPEONFORK only works on private, anonymous VMAs.

The use case is libraries that store or cache information, and want to
know that they need to regenerate it in the child process after fork.

Examples of this would be:
 - systemd/pulseaudio API checks (fail after fork) (replacing a getpid
   check, which is too slow without a PID cache)
 - PKCS#11 API reinitialization check (mandated by specification)
 - glibc's upcoming PRNG (reseed after fork)
 - OpenSSL PRNG (reseed after fork)

The security benefits of a forking server having a re-inialized PRNG in
every child process are pretty obvious.  However, due to libraries
having all kinds of internal state, and programs getting compiled with
many different versions of each library, it is unreasonable to expect
calling programs to re-initialize everything manually after fork.

A further complication is the proliferation of clone flags, programs
bypassing glibc's functions to call clone directly, and programs calling
unshare, causing the glibc pthread_atfork hook to not get called.

It would be better to have the kernel take care of this automatically.

The patch also adds MADV_KEEPONFORK, to undo the effects of a prior
MADV_WIPEONFORK.

This is similar to the OpenBSD minherit syscall with MAP_INHERIT_ZERO:

c79b57e462 mm: hugetlb: clear target sub-page last when clearing huge page
Huge page helps to reduce TLB miss rate, but it has higher cache
footprint, sometimes this may cause some issue.  For example, when
clearing huge page on x86_64 platform, the cache footprint is 2M.  But
on a Xeon E5 v3 2699 CPU, there are 18 cores, 36 threads, and only 45M
LLC (last level cache).  That is, in average, there are 2.5M LLC for
each core and 1.25M LLC for each thread.

If the cache pressure is heavy when clearing the huge page, and we clear
the huge page from the begin to the end, it is possible that the begin
of huge page is evicted from the cache after we finishing clearing the
end of the huge page.  And it is possible for the application to access
the begin of the huge page after clearing the huge page.

To help the above situation, in this patch, when we clear a huge page,
the order to clear sub-pages is changed.  In quite some situation, we
can get the address that the application will access after we clear the
huge page, for example, in a page fault handler.  Instead of clearing
the huge page from begin to end, we will clear the sub-pages farthest
from the the sub-page to access firstly, and clear the sub-page to
access last.  This will make the sub-page to access most cache-hot and
sub-pages around it more cache-hot too.  If we cannot know the address
the application will access, the begin of the huge page is assumed to be
the the address the application will access.

With this patch, the throughput increases ~28.3% in vm-scalability
anon-w-seq test case with 72 processes on a 2 socket Xeon E5 v3 2699
system (36 cores, 72 threads).  The test case creates 72 processes, each
process mmap a big anonymous memory area and writes to it from the begin
to the end.  For each process, other processes could be seen as other
workload which generates heavy cache pressure.  At the same time, the
cache miss rate reduced from ~33.4% to ~31.7%, the IPC (instruction per
cycle) increased from 0.56 to 0.74, and the time spent in user space is
reduced ~7.9%

Christopher Lameter suggests to clear bytes inside a sub-page from end
to begin too.  But tests show no visible performance difference in the
tests.  May because the size of page is small compared with the cache
size.

Thanks Andi Kleen to propose to use address to access to determine the
order of sub-pages to clear.

The hugetlbfs access address could be improved, will do that in another
patch.

b2770da642 mm: add vm_insert_mixed_mkwrite()
When servicing mmap() reads from file holes the current DAX code
allocates a page cache page of all zeroes and places the struct page
pointer in the mapping->page_tree radix tree.  This has three major
drawbacks:

1) It consumes memory unnecessarily. For every 4k page that is read via
   a DAX mmap() over a hole, we allocate a new page cache page. This
   means that if you read 1GiB worth of pages, you end up using 1GiB of
   zeroed memory.

2) It is slower than using a common zero page because each page fault
   has more work to do. Instead of just inserting a common zero page we
   have to allocate a page cache page, zero it, and then insert it.

3) The fact that we had to check for both DAX exceptional entries and
   for page cache pages in the radix tree made the DAX code more
   complex.

This series solves these issues by following the lead of the DAX PMD
code and using a common 4k zero page instead.  This reduces memory usage
and decreases latencies for some workloads, and it simplifies the DAX
code, removing over 100 lines in total.

This patch (of 5):

To be able to use the common 4k zero page in DAX we need to have our PTE
fault path look more like our PMD fault path where a PTE entry can be
marked as dirty and writeable as it is first inserted rather than
waiting for a follow-up dax_pfn_mkwrite() => finish_mkwrite_fault()
call.

Right now we can rely on having a dax_pfn_mkwrite() call because we can
distinguish between these two cases in do_wp_page():

	case 1: 4k zero page => writable DAX storage
	case 2: read-only DAX storage => writeable DAX storage

This distinction is made by via vm_normal_page().  vm_normal_page()
returns false for the common 4k zero page, though, just as it does for
DAX ptes.  Instead of special casing the DAX + 4k zero page case we will
simplify our DAX PTE page fault sequence so that it matches our DAX PMD
sequence, and get rid of the dax_pfn_mkwrite() helper.  We will instead
use dax_iomap_fault() to handle write-protection faults.

This means that insert_pfn() needs to follow the lead of
insert_pfn_pmd() and allow us to pass in a 'mkwrite' flag.  If 'mkwrite'
is set insert_pfn() will do the work that was previously done by
wp_page_reuse() as part of the dax_pfn_mkwrite() call path.

a4d1a88525 dax: update to new mmu_notifier semantic
Replace all mmu_notifier_invalidate_page() calls by *_invalidate_range()
and make sure it is bracketed by calls to *_invalidate_range_start()/end().

Note that because we can not presume the pmd value or pte value we have
to assume the worst and unconditionaly report an invalidation as
happening.
