Patch series "Make core VMA operations internal and testable", v4. There are a number of "core" VMA manipulation functions implemented in mm/mmap.c, notably those concerning VMA merging, splitting, modifying, expanding and shrinking, which logically don't belong there. More importantly this functionality represents an internal implementation detail of memory management and should not be exposed outside of mm/ itself. This patch series isolates core VMA manipulation functionality into its own file, mm/vma.c, and provides an API to the rest of the mm code in mm/vma.h. Importantly, it also carefully implements mm/vma_internal.h, which specifies which headers need to be imported by vma.c, leading to the very useful property that vma.c depends only on mm/vma.h and mm/vma_internal.h. This means we can then re-implement vma_internal.h in userland, adding shims for kernel mechanisms as required, allowing us to unit test internal VMA functionality. This testing is useful as opposed to an e.g. kunit implementation as this way we can avoid all external kernel side-effects while testing, run tests VERY quickly, and iterate on and debug problems quickly. Excitingly this opens the door to, in the future, recreating precise problems observed in production in userland and very quickly debugging problems that might otherwise be very difficult to reproduce. This patch series takes advantage of existing shim logic and full userland maple tree support contained in tools/testing/radix-tree/ and tools/include/linux/, separating out shared components of the radix tree implementation to provide this testing. Kernel functionality is stubbed and shimmed as needed in tools/testing/vma/ which contains a fully functional userland vma_internal.h file and which imports mm/vma.c and mm/vma.h to be directly tested from userland. A simple, skeleton testing implementation is provided in tools/testing/vma/vma.c as a proof-of-concept, asserting that simple VMA merge, modify (testing split), expand and shrink functionality work correctly. This patch (of 4): This patch forms part of a patch series intending to separate out VMA logic and render it testable from userspace, which requires that core manipulation functions be exposed in an mm/-internal header file. In order to do this, we must abstract APIs we wish to test, in this instance functions which ultimately invoke vma_modify(). This patch therefore moves all logic which ultimately invokes vma_modify() to mm/userfaultfd.c, trying to transfer code at a functional granularity where possible.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
