1061b0d21e linux/mm.h: canonicalize macro PAGE_ALIGNED() definition
The macro PAGE_ALIGNED() is prone to cause error because it doesn't
follow convention to parenthesize parameter @addr within macro body, for
example unsigned long *ptr = kmalloc(...); PAGE_ALIGNED(ptr + 16); for
the left parameter of macro IS_ALIGNED(), (unsigned long)(ptr + 16) is
desired but the actual one is (unsigned long)ptr + 16.

It is fixed by simply canonicalizing macro PAGE_ALIGNED() definition.

7877cdcc38 mm: consolidate warn_alloc_failed users
warn_alloc_failed is currently used from the page and vmalloc
allocators.  This is a good reuse of the code except that vmalloc would
appreciate a slightly different warning message.  This is already
handled by the fmt parameter except that

  "%s: page allocation failure: order:%u, mode:%#x(%pGg)"

is printed anyway.  This might be quite misleading because it might be a
vmalloc failure which leads to the warning while the page allocator is
not the culprit here.  Fix this by always using the fmt string and only
print the context that makes sense for the particular context (e.g.
order makes only very little sense for the vmalloc context).

Rename the function to not miss any user and also because a later patch
will reuse it also for !failure cases.

e86f15ee64 mm: vma_merge: fix vm_page_prot SMP race condition against rmap_walk
The rmap_walk can access vm_page_prot (and potentially vm_flags in the
pte/pmd manipulations).  So it's not safe to wait the caller to update
the vm_page_prot/vm_flags after vma_merge returned potentially removing
the "next" vma and extending the "current" vma over the
next->vm_start,vm_end range, but still with the "current" vma
vm_page_prot, after releasing the rmap locks.

The vm_page_prot/vm_flags must be transferred from the "next" vma to the
current vma while vma_merge still holds the rmap locks.

The side effect of this race condition is pte corruption during migrate
as remove_migration_ptes when run on a address of the "next" vma that
got removed, used the vm_page_prot of the current vma.

  migrate   	      	        mprotect
  ------------			-------------
  migrating in "next" vma
				vma_merge() # removes "next" vma and
			        	    # extends "current" vma
					    # current vma is not with
					    # vm_page_prot updated
  remove_migration_ptes
  read vm_page_prot of current "vma"
  establish pte with wrong permissions
				vm_set_page_prot(vma) # too late!
				change_protection in the old vma range
				only, next range is not updated

This caused segmentation faults and potentially memory corruption in
heavy mprotect loads with some light page migration caused by compaction
in the background.

Hugh Dickins pointed out the comment about the Odd case 8 in vma_merge
which confirms the case 8 is only buggy one where the race can trigger,
in all other vma_merge cases the above cannot happen.

This fix removes the oddness factor from case 8 and it converts it from:

      AAAA
  PPPPNNNNXXXX -> PPPPNNNNNNNN

to:

      AAAA
  PPPPNNNNXXXX -> PPPPXXXXXXXX

XXXX has the right vma properties for the whole merged vma returned by
vma_adjust, so it solves the problem fully.  It has the added benefits
that the callers could stop updating vma properties when vma_merge
succeeds however the callers are not updated by this patch (there are
bits like VM_SOFTDIRTY that still need special care for the whole range,
as the vma merging ignores them, but as long as they're not processed by
rmap walks and instead they're accessed with the mmap_sem at least for
reading, they are fine not to be updated within vma_adjust before
releasing the rmap_locks).

After using the offset of the swap entry as the key of the swap cache,
the page_index() becomes exactly same as page_file_index().  So the
page_file_index() is removed and the callers are changed to use

f6ab1f7f6b mm, swap: use offset of swap entry as key of swap cache
This patch is to improve the performance of swap cache operations when
the type of the swap device is not 0.  Originally, the whole swap entry
value is used as the key of the swap cache, even though there is one
radix tree for each swap device.  If the type of the swap device is not
0, the height of the radix tree of the swap cache will be increased
unnecessary, especially on 64bit architecture.  For example, for a 1GB
swap device on the x86_64 architecture, the height of the radix tree of
the swap cache is 11.  But if the offset of the swap entry is used as
the key of the swap cache, the height of the radix tree of the swap
cache is 4.  The increased height causes unnecessary radix tree
descending and increased cache footprint.

This patch reduces the height of the radix tree of the swap cache via
using the offset of the swap entry instead of the whole swap entry value
as the key of the swap cache.  In 32 processes sequential swap out test
case on a Xeon E5 v3 system with RAM disk as swap, the lock contention
for the spinlock of the swap cache is reduced from 20.15% to 12.19%,
when the type of the swap device is 1.

Use the whole swap entry as key,

f6f34b4387 mm: introduce arch_reserved_kernel_pages()
Currently arch specific code can reserve memory blocks but
alloc_large_system_hash() may not take it into consideration when sizing
the hashes.  This can lead to bigger hash than required and lead to no
available memory for other purposes.  This is specifically true for
systems with CONFIG_DEFERRED_STRUCT_PAGE_INIT enabled.

One approach to solve this problem would be to walk through the memblock
regions and calculate the available memory and base the size of hash
system on the available memory.

The other approach would be to depend on the architecture to provide the
number of pages that are reserved.  This change provides hooks to allow
the architecture to provide the required info.

75ef718405 mm, vmstat: add infrastructure for per-node vmstats
Patchset: "Move LRU page reclaim from zones to nodes v9"

This series moves LRUs from the zones to the node.  While this is a
current rebase, the test results were based on mmotm as of June 23rd.
Conceptually, this series is simple but there are a lot of details.
Some of the broad motivations for this are;

1. The residency of a page partially depends on what zone the page was
   allocated from.  This is partially combatted by the fair zone allocation
   policy but that is a partial solution that introduces overhead in the
   page allocator paths.

2. Currently, reclaim on node 0 behaves slightly different to node 1. For
   example, direct reclaim scans in zonelist order and reclaims even if
   the zone is over the high watermark regardless of the age of pages
   in that LRU. Kswapd on the other hand starts reclaim on the highest
   unbalanced zone. A difference in distribution of file/anon pages due
   to when they were allocated results can result in a difference in
   again. While the fair zone allocation policy mitigates some of the
   problems here, the page reclaim results on a multi-zone node will
   always be different to a single-zone node.
   it was scheduled on as a result.

3. kswapd and the page allocator scan zones in the opposite order to
   avoid interfering with each other but it's sensitive to timing.  This
   mitigates the page allocator using pages that were allocated very recently
   in the ideal case but it's sensitive to timing. When kswapd is allocating
   from lower zones then it's great but during the rebalancing of the highest
   zone, the page allocator and kswapd interfere with each other. It's worse
   if the highest zone is small and difficult to balance.

4. slab shrinkers are node-based which makes it harder to identify the exact
   relationship between slab reclaim and LRU reclaim.

The reason we have zone-based reclaim is that we used to have
large highmem zones in common configurations and it was necessary
to quickly find ZONE_NORMAL pages for reclaim. Today, this is much
less of a concern as machines with lots of memory will (or should) use
64-bit kernels. Combinations of 32-bit hardware and 64-bit hardware are
rare. Machines that do use highmem should have relatively low highmem:lowmem
ratios than we worried about in the past.

Conceptually, moving to node LRUs should be easier to understand. The
page allocator plays fewer tricks to game reclaim and reclaim behaves
similarly on all nodes.

The series has been tested on a 16 core UMA machine and a 2-socket 48
core NUMA machine. The UMA results are presented in most cases as the NUMA
machine behaved similarly.

pagealloc
---------

This is a microbenchmark that shows the benefit of removing the fair zone
allocation policy. It was tested uip to order-4 but only orders 0 and 1 are
shown as the other orders were comparable.

tiobench on ext4
----------------

tiobench is a benchmark that artifically benefits if old pages remain resident
while new pages get reclaimed. The fair zone allocation policy mitigates this
problem so pages age fairly. While the benchmark has problems, it is important
that tiobench performance remains constant as it implies that page aging
problems that the fair zone allocation policy fixes are not re-introduced.

This shows that the series has little or not impact on tiobench which is
desirable and a reduction in system CPU usage. It indicates that the fair
zone allocation policy was removed in a manner that didn't reintroduce
one class of page aging bug. There were only minor differences in overall
reclaim activity

pgbench is a database benchmark that can be sensitive to page reclaim
decisions. This also checks if removing the fair zone allocation policy
is safe

It basically shows that kswapd was active at roughly the same rate in
both kernels. There was also comparable slab scanning activity and direct
reclaim was avoided in both cases. There appears to be a large difference
in numbers of inodes reclaimed but the workload has few active inodes and
is likely a timing artifact.

stutter
-------

stutter simulates a simple workload. One part uses a lot of anonymous
memory, a second measures mmap latency and a third copies a large file.
The primary metric is checking for mmap latency.

While this is not guaranteed in all cases, this particular test showed
a large reduction in direct reclaim activity. It's also worth noting
that no page writes were issued from reclaim context.

This series is not without its hazards. There are at least three areas
that I'm concerned with even though I could not reproduce any problems in
that area.

1. Reclaim/compaction is going to be affected because the amount of reclaim is
   no longer targetted at a specific zone. Compaction works on a per-zone basis
   so there is no guarantee that reclaiming a few THP's worth page pages will
   have a positive impact on compaction success rates.

2. The Slab/LRU reclaim ratio is affected because the frequency the shrinkers
   are called is now different. This may or may not be a problem but if it
   is, it'll be because shrinkers are not called enough and some balancing
   is required.

3. The anon/file reclaim ratio may be affected. Pages about to be dirtied are
   distributed between zones and the fair zone allocation policy used to do
   something very similar for anon. The distribution is now different but not
   necessarily in any way that matters but it's still worth bearing in mind.

VM statistic counters for reclaim decisions are zone-based.  If the kernel
is to reclaim on a per-node basis then we need to track per-node
statistics but there is no infrastructure for that.  The most notable
change is that the old node_page_state is renamed to
sum_zone_node_page_state.  The new node_page_state takes a pglist_data and
uses per-node stats but none exist yet.  There is some renaming such as
vm_stat to vm_zone_stat and the addition of vm_node_stat and the renaming
of mod_state to mod_zone_state.  Otherwise, this is mostly a mechanical
patch with no functional change.  There is a lot of similarity between the
node and zone helpers which is unfortunate but there was no obvious way of
reusing the code and maintaining type safety.

55779ec759 mm: fix vm-scalability regression in cgroup-aware workingset code
Commit 23047a96d7 ("mm: workingset: per-cgroup cache thrash
detection") added a page->mem_cgroup lookup to the cache eviction,
refault, and activation paths, as well as locking to the activation
path, and the vm-scalability tests showed a regression of -23%.

While the test in question is an artificial worst-case scenario that
doesn't occur in real workloads - reading two sparse files in parallel
at full CPU speed just to hammer the LRU paths - there is still some
optimizations that can be done in those paths.

Inline the lookup functions to eliminate calls.  Also, page->mem_cgroup

need to hold the RCU lock to prevent the memcg from being freed.

44a70adec9 mm, oom_adj: make sure processes sharing mm have same view of oom_score_adj
oom_score_adj is shared for the thread groups (via struct signal) but this
is not sufficient to cover processes sharing mm (CLONE_VM without
CLONE_SIGHAND) and so we can easily end up in a situation when some
processes update their oom_score_adj and confuse the oom killer.  In the
worst case some of those processes might hide from the oom killer
altogether via OOM_SCORE_ADJ_MIN while others are eligible.  OOM killer
would then pick up those eligible but won't be allowed to kill others
sharing the same mm so the mm wouldn't release the mm and so the memory.

It would be ideal to have the oom_score_adj per mm_struct because that is
the natural entity OOM killer considers.  But this will not work because
some programs are doing

	vfork()
	set_oom_adj()
	exec()

We can achieve the same though.  oom_score_adj write handler can set the
oom_score_adj for all processes sharing the same mm if the task is not in
the middle of vfork.  As a result all the processes will share the same
oom_score_adj.  The current implementation is rather pessimistic and
checks all the existing processes by default if there is more than 1
holder of the mm but we do not have any reliable way to check for external
users yet.

7267ec008b mm: postpone page table allocation until we have page to map
The idea (and most of code) is borrowed again: from Hugh's patchset on
huge tmpfs[1].

Instead of allocation pte page table upfront, we postpone this until we
have page to map in hands.  This approach opens possibility to map the
page as huge if filesystem supports this.

Comparing to Hugh's patch I've pushed page table allocation a bit
further: into do_set_pte().  This way we can postpone allocation even in
faultaround case without moving do_fault_around() after __do_fault().

do_set_pte() got renamed to alloc_set_pte() as it can allocate page
table if required.

bae473a423 mm: introduce fault_env
The idea borrowed from Peter's patch from patchset on speculative page
faults[1]:

Instead of passing around the endless list of function arguments,
replace the lot with a single structure so we can change context without
endless function signature changes.

The changes are mostly mechanical with exception of faultaround code:
filemap_map_pages() got reworked a bit.

This patch is preparation for the next one.

bda807d444 mm: migrate: support non-lru movable page migration
We have allowed migration for only LRU pages until now and it was enough
to make high-order pages.  But recently, embedded system(e.g., webOS,
android) uses lots of non-movable pages(e.g., zram, GPU memory) so we
have seen several reports about troubles of small high-order allocation.
For fixing the problem, there were several efforts (e,g,.  enhance
compaction algorithm, SLUB fallback to 0-order page, reserved memory,
vmalloc and so on) but if there are lots of non-movable pages in system,
their solutions are void in the long run.

So, this patch is to support facility to change non-movable pages with
movable.  For the feature, this patch introduces functions related to
migration to address_space_operations as well as some page flags.

If a driver want to make own pages movable, it should define three
functions which are function pointers of struct
address_space_operations.

1. bool (*isolate_page) (struct page *page, isolate_mode_t mode);

What VM expects on isolate_page function of driver is to return *true*
if driver isolates page successfully.  On returing true, VM marks the
page as PG_isolated so concurrent isolation in several CPUs skip the
page for isolation.  If a driver cannot isolate the page, it should
return *false*.

Once page is successfully isolated, VM uses page.lru fields so driver
shouldn't expect to preserve values in that fields.

2. int (*migratepage) (struct address_space *mapping,
		struct page *newpage, struct page *oldpage, enum migrate_mode);

After isolation, VM calls migratepage of driver with isolated page.  The
function of migratepage is to move content of the old page to new page
and set up fields of struct page newpage.  Keep in mind that you should
indicate to the VM the oldpage is no longer movable via
__ClearPageMovable() under page_lock if you migrated the oldpage
successfully and returns 0.  If driver cannot migrate the page at the
moment, driver can return -EAGAIN.  On -EAGAIN, VM will retry page
migration in a short time because VM interprets -EAGAIN as "temporal
migration failure".  On returning any error except -EAGAIN, VM will give
up the page migration without retrying in this time.

Driver shouldn't touch page.lru field VM using in the functions.

3. void (*putback_page)(struct page *);

If migration fails on isolated page, VM should return the isolated page
to the driver so VM calls driver's putback_page with migration failed
page.  In this function, driver should put the isolated page back to the
own data structure.

4. non-lru movable page flags

There are two page flags for supporting non-lru movable page.

* PG_movable

Driver should use the below function to make page movable under
page_lock.

	void __SetPageMovable(struct page *page, struct address_space *mapping)

It needs argument of address_space for registering migration family
functions which will be called by VM.  Exactly speaking, PG_movable is
not a real flag of struct page.  Rather than, VM reuses page->mapping's
lower bits to represent it.

	#define PAGE_MAPPING_MOVABLE 0x2
	page->mapping = page->mapping | PAGE_MAPPING_MOVABLE;

so driver shouldn't access page->mapping directly.  Instead, driver
should use page_mapping which mask off the low two bits of page->mapping
so it can get right struct address_space.

For testing of non-lru movable page, VM supports __PageMovable function.
However, it doesn't guarantee to identify non-lru movable page because
page->mapping field is unified with other variables in struct page.  As
well, if driver releases the page after isolation by VM, page->mapping
doesn't have stable value although it has PAGE_MAPPING_MOVABLE (Look at
__ClearPageMovable).  But __PageMovable is cheap to catch whether page
is LRU or non-lru movable once the page has been isolated.  Because LRU
pages never can have PAGE_MAPPING_MOVABLE in page->mapping.  It is also
good for just peeking to test non-lru movable pages before more
expensive checking with lock_page in pfn scanning to select victim.

For guaranteeing non-lru movable page, VM provides PageMovable function.
Unlike __PageMovable, PageMovable functions validates page->mapping and
mapping->a_ops->isolate_page under lock_page.  The lock_page prevents
sudden destroying of page->mapping.

Driver using __SetPageMovable should clear the flag via
__ClearMovablePage under page_lock before the releasing the page.

* PG_isolated

To prevent concurrent isolation among several CPUs, VM marks isolated
page as PG_isolated under lock_page.  So if a CPU encounters PG_isolated
non-lru movable page, it can skip it.  Driver doesn't need to manipulate
the flag because VM will set/clear it automatically.  Keep in mind that
if driver sees PG_isolated page, it means the page have been isolated by
VM so it shouldn't touch page.lru field.  PG_isolated is alias with
PG_reclaim flag so driver shouldn't use the flag for own purpose.

5d22fc25d4 mm: remove more IS_ERR_VALUE abuses
The do_brk() and vm_brk() return value was "unsigned long" and returned
the starting address on success, and an error value on failure.  The
reasons are entirely historical, and go back to it basically behaving
like the mmap() interface does.

However, nobody actually wanted that interface, and it causes totally
pointless IS_ERR_VALUE() confusion.

What every single caller actually wants is just the simpler integer
return of zero for success and negative error number on failure.

So just convert to that much clearer and more common calling convention,
and get rid of all the IS_ERR_VALUE() uses wrt vm_brk().

9fbeb5ab59 mm: make vm_mmap killable
All the callers of vm_mmap seem to check for the failure already and
bail out in one way or another on the error which means that we can
change it to use killable version of vm_mmap_pgoff and return -EINTR if
the current task gets killed while waiting for mmap_sem.  This also
means that vm_mmap_pgoff can be killable by default and drop the
additional parameter.

This will help in the OOM conditions when the oom victim might be stuck
waiting for the mmap_sem for write which in turn can block oom_reaper
which relies on the mmap_sem for read to make a forward progress and
reclaim the address space of the victim.

Please note that load_elf_binary is ignoring vm_mmap error for
current->personality & MMAP_PAGE_ZERO case but that shouldn't be a
problem because the address is not used anywhere and we never return to
the userspace if we got killed.

The problem is lookup_page_ext() returns NULL then page_is_guard() tried
to access it in page freeing.

page_is_guard() depends on PAGE_EXT_DEBUG_GUARD bit of page extension
flag, but freeing page might reach here before the page_ext arrays are
allocated when feeding a range of pages to the allocator for the first
time during bootup or memory hotplug.

When it returns NULL, page_is_guard() should just return false instead
of checking PAGE_EXT_DEBUG_GUARD unconditionally.

Currently, faultaround code produces young pte.  This can screw up

During sparse file access faultaround gets more pages mapped and all of
them are young.  Under memory pressure, this makes vmscan swap out anon
pages instead, or to drop other page cache pages which otherwise stay
resident.

Modify faultaround to produce old ptes, so they can easily be reclaimed
under memory pressure.

This can to some extend defeat the purpose of faultaround on machines
without hardware accessed bit as it will not help us with reducing the
number of minor page faults.

We may want to disable faultaround on such machines altogether, but
that's subject for separate patchset.

Minchan:
 "I tested 512M mmap sequential word read test on non-HW access bit
  system (i.e., ARM) and confirmed it doesn't increase minor fault any
  more.

  old: 4096 fault_around
  minor fault: 131291
  elapsed time: 6747645 usec

  new: 65536 fault_around
  minor fault: 131291
  elapsed time: 6709263 usec

  0.56% benefit"

4b50bcc7ed mm: use phys_addr_t for reserve_bootmem_region() arguments
Since commit 92923ca3aa ("mm: meminit: only set page reserved in the
memblock region") the reserved bit is set on reserved memblock regions.
However start and end address are passed as unsigned long.  This is only
32bit on i386, so it can end up marking the wrong pages reserved for
ranges at 4GB and above.

This was observed on a 32bit Xen dom0 which was booted with initial
memory set to a value below 4G but allowing to balloon in memory
(dom0_mem=1024M for example).  This would define a reserved bootmem
region for the additional memory (for example on a 8GB system there was
a reverved region covering the 4GB-8GB range).  But since the addresses
were passed on as unsigned long, this was actually marking all pages
from 0 to 4GB as reserved.

Fixes: 92923ca3aa ("mm: meminit: only set page reserved in the memblock region")

bc2466e425 dax: Use radix tree entry lock to protect cow faults
When doing cow faults, we cannot directly fill in PTE as we do for other
faults as we rely on generic code to do proper accounting of the cowed page.
We also have no page to lock to protect against races with truncate as
other faults have and we need the protection to extend until the moment
generic code inserts cowed page into PTE thus at that point we have no
protection of fs-specific i_mmap_sem. So far we relied on using
i_mmap_lock for the protection however that is completely special to cow
faults. To make fault locking more uniform use DAX entry lock instead.

6d0a07edd1 mm: thp: calculate the mapcount correctly for THP pages during WP faults
This will provide fully accuracy to the mapcount calculation in the
write protect faults, so page pinning will not get broken by false
positive copy-on-writes.

total_mapcount() isn't the right calculation needed in
reuse_swap_page(), so this introduces a page_trans_huge_mapcount()
that is effectively the full accurate return value for page_mapcount()
if dealing with Transparent Hugepages, however we only use the
page_trans_huge_mapcount() during COW faults where it strictly needed,
due to its higher runtime cost.

This also provide at practical zero cost the total_mapcount
information which is needed to know if we can still relocate the page
anon_vma to the local vma. If page_trans_huge_mapcount() returns 1 we
can reuse the page no matter if it's a pte or a pmd_trans_huge
triggering the fault, but we can only relocate the page anon_vma to
the local vma->anon_vma if we're sure it's only this "vma" mapping the
whole THP physical range.

Kirill A. Shutemov discovered the problem with moving the page
anon_vma to the local vma->anon_vma in a previous version of this
patch and another problem in the way page_move_anon_rmap() was called.

Andrew Morton discovered that CONFIG_SWAP=n wouldn't build in a
previous version, because reuse_swap_page must be a macro to call
page_trans_huge_mapcount from swap.h, so this uses a macro again
instead of an inline function. With this change at least it's a less
dangerous usage than it was before, because "page" is used only once
now, while with the previous code reuse_swap_page(page++) would have
called page_mapcount on page+1 and it would have increased page twice
instead of just once.

Dean Luick noticed an uninitialized variable that could result in a
rmap inefficiency for the non-THP case in a previous version.

Mike Marciniszyn said:

28093f9f34 numa: fix /proc/<pid>/numa_maps for THP
In gather_pte_stats() a THP pmd is cast into a pte, which is wrong
because the layouts may differ depending on the architecture.  On s390
this will lead to inaccurate numa_maps accounting in /proc because of
misguided pte_present() and pte_dirty() checks on the fake pte.

On other architectures pte_present() and pte_dirty() may work by chance,
but there may be an issue with direct-access (dax) mappings w/o
underlying struct pages when HAVE_PTE_SPECIAL is set and THP is
available.  In vm_normal_page() the fake pte will be checked with
pte_special() and because there is no "special" bit in a pmd, this will
always return false and the VM_PFNMAP | VM_MIXEDMAP checking will be
skipped.  On dax mappings w/o struct pages, an invalid struct page
pointer would then be returned that can crash the kernel.

This patch fixes the numa_maps THP handling by introducing new "_pmd"
variants of the can_gather_numa_stats() and vm_normal_page() functions.

66ee95d16a mm: exclude HugeTLB pages from THP page_mapped() logic
HugeTLB pages cannot be split, so we use the compound_mapcount to track
rmaps.

Currently page_mapped() will check the compound_mapcount, but will also
go through the constituent pages of a THP compound page and query the
individual _mapcount's too.

Unfortunately, page_mapped() does not distinguish between HugeTLB and
THP compound pages and assumes that a compound page always needs to have
HPAGE_PMD_NR pages querying.

For most cases when dealing with HugeTLB this is just inefficient, but
for scenarios where the HugeTLB page size is less than the pmd block
size (e.g.  when using contiguous bit on ARM) this can lead to crashes.

This patch adjusts the page_mapped function such that we skip the
unnecessary THP reference checks for HugeTLB pages.

1dff8083a0 mm: replace open coded page to virt conversion with page_to_virt()
The open coded conversion from struct page address to virtual address in
lowmem_page_address() involves an intermediate conversion step to pfn
number/physical address. Since the placement of the struct page array
relative to the linear mapping may be completely independent from the
placement of physical RAM (as is that case for arm64 after commit
dfd55ad85e 'arm64: vmemmap: use virtual projection of linear region'),
the conversion to physical address and back again should factor out of
the equation, but unfortunately, the shifting and pointer arithmetic
involved prevent this from happening, and the resulting calculation
essentially subtracts the address of the start of physical memory and
adds it back again, in a way that prevents the compiler from optimizing
it away.

Since the start of physical memory is not a build time constant on arm64,
the resulting conversion involves an unnecessary memory access, which
we would like to get rid of. So replace the open coded conversion with
a call to page_to_virt(), and use the open coded conversion as its
default definition, to be overriden by the architecture, if desired.
The existing arch specific definitions of page_to_virt are all equivalent
to this default definition, so by itself this patch is a no-op.

c12d2da56d mm/gup: Remove the macro overload API migration helpers from the get_user*() APIs
The pkeys changes brought about a truly hideous set of macros in:

  cde70140fe ("mm/gup: Overload get_user_pages() functions")

... which macros are (ab-)using the fact that __VA_ARGS__ can be used
to shift parameter positions in macro arguments without breaking the
build and so can be used to call separate C functions depending on
the number of arguments of the macro.

This allowed easy migration of these 3 GUP APIs, as both these variants
worked at the C level:

  old:
	ret = get_user_pages(current, current->mm, address, 1, 1, 0, &page, NULL);

  new:
	ret = get_user_pages(address, 1, 1, 0, &page, NULL);

... while we also generated a (functionally harmless but noticeable) build
time warning if the old API was used. As there are over 300 uses of these
APIs, this trick eased the migration of the API and avoided excessive
migration pain in linux-next.

Now, with its work done, get rid of all of that complication and ugliness:

    3 files changed, 16 insertions(+), 140 deletions(-)

... where the linecount of the migration hack was further inflated by the
fact that there are NOMMU variants of these GUP APIs as well.

Much of the conversion was done in linux-next over the past couple of months,
and Linus recently removed all remaining old API uses from the upstream tree
in the following upstrea commit:

  cb107161df ("Convert straggling drivers to new six-argument get_user_pages()")

There was one more old-API usage in mm/gup.c, in the CONFIG_HAVE_GENERIC_RCU_GUP
code path that ARM, ARM64 and PowerPC uses.

After this commit any old API usage will break the build.

aac4536355 mm, oom: introduce oom reaper
This patch (of 5):

This is based on the idea from Mel Gorman discussed during LSFMM 2015
and independently brought up by Oleg Nesterov.

The OOM killer currently allows to kill only a single task in a good
hope that the task will terminate in a reasonable time and frees up its
memory.  Such a task (oom victim) will get an access to memory reserves
via mark_oom_victim to allow a forward progress should there be a need
for additional memory during exit path.

It has been shown (e.g.  by Tetsuo Handa) that it is not that hard to
construct workloads which break the core assumption mentioned above and
the OOM victim might take unbounded amount of time to exit because it
might be blocked in the uninterruptible state waiting for an event (e.g.
lock) which is blocked by another task looping in the page allocator.

This patch reduces the probability of such a lockup by introducing a
specialized kernel thread (oom_reaper) which tries to reclaim additional
memory by preemptively reaping the anonymous or swapped out memory owned
by the oom victim under an assumption that such a memory won't be needed
when its owner is killed and kicked from the userspace anyway.  There is
one notable exception to this, though, if the OOM victim was in the
process of coredumping the result would be incomplete.  This is
considered a reasonable constrain because the overall system health is
more important than debugability of a particular application.

A kernel thread has been chosen because we need a reliable way of
invocation so workqueue context is not appropriate because all the
workers might be busy (e.g.  allocating memory).  Kswapd which sounds
like another good fit is not appropriate as well because it might get
blocked on locks during reclaim as well.

oom_reaper has to take mmap_sem on the target task for reading so the
solution is not 100% because the semaphore might be held or blocked for
write but the probability is reduced considerably wrt.  basically any
lock blocking forward progress as described above.  In order to prevent
from blocking on the lock without any forward progress we are using only
a trylock and retry 10 times with a short sleep in between.  Users of
mmap_sem which need it for write should be carefully reviewed to use
_killable waiting as much as possible and reduce allocations requests
done with the lock held to absolute minimum to reduce the risk even
further.

The API between oom killer and oom reaper is quite trivial.
wake_oom_reaper updates mm_to_reap with cmpxchg to guarantee only
NULL->mm transition and oom_reaper clear this atomically once it is done
with the work.  This means that only a single mm_struct can be reaped at
the time.  As the operation is potentially disruptive we are trying to
limit it to the ncessary minimum and the reaper blocks any updates while
it operates on an mm.  mm_struct is pinned by mm_count to allow parallel
exit_mmap and a race is detected by atomic_inc_not_zero(mm_users).

643ad15d47 Merge branch 'mm-pkeys-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip
Pull x86 protection key support from Ingo Molnar:
 "This tree adds support for a new memory protection hardware feature
  that is available in upcoming Intel CPUs: 'protection keys' (pkeys).

  There's a background article at LWN.net:

      https://lwn.net/Articles/643797/

  The gist is that protection keys allow the encoding of
  user-controllable permission masks in the pte.  So instead of having a
  fixed protection mask in the pte (which needs a system call to change
  and works on a per page basis), the user can map a (handful of)
  protection mask variants and can change the masks runtime relatively
  cheaply, without having to change every single page in the affected
  virtual memory range.

  This allows the dynamic switching of the protection bits of large
  amounts of virtual memory, via user-space instructions.  It also
  allows more precise control of MMU permission bits: for example the
  executable bit is separate from the read bit (see more about that
  below).

  This tree adds the MM infrastructure and low level x86 glue needed for
  that, plus it adds a high level API to make use of protection keys -
  if a user-space application calls:

        mmap(..., PROT_EXEC);

  or

        mprotect(ptr, sz, PROT_EXEC);

  (note PROT_EXEC-only, without PROT_READ/WRITE), the kernel will notice
  this special case, and will set a special protection key on this
  memory range.  It also sets the appropriate bits in the Protection
  Keys User Rights (PKRU) register so that the memory becomes unreadable
  and unwritable.

  So using protection keys the kernel is able to implement 'true'
  PROT_EXEC on x86 CPUs: without protection keys PROT_EXEC implies
  PROT_READ as well.  Unreadable executable mappings have security
  advantages: they cannot be read via information leaks to figure out
  ASLR details, nor can they be scanned for ROP gadgets - and they
  cannot be used by exploits for data purposes either.

  We know about no user-space code that relies on pure PROT_EXEC
  mappings today, but binary loaders could start making use of this new
  feature to map binaries and libraries in a more secure fashion.

  There is other pending pkeys work that offers more high level system
  call APIs to manage protection keys - but those are not part of this
  pull request.

  Right now there's a Kconfig that controls this feature
  (CONFIG_X86_INTEL_MEMORY_PROTECTION_KEYS) that is default enabled
  (like most x86 CPU feature enablement code that has no runtime
  overhead), but it's not user-configurable at the moment.  If there's
  any serious problem with this then we can make it configurable and/or
  flip the default"

fe896d1878 mm: introduce page reference manipulation functions
The success of CMA allocation largely depends on the success of
migration and key factor of it is page reference count.  Until now, page
reference is manipulated by direct calling atomic functions so we cannot
follow up who and where manipulate it.  Then, it is hard to find actual
reason of CMA allocation failure.  CMA allocation should be guaranteed
to succeed so finding offending place is really important.

In this patch, call sites where page reference is manipulated are
converted to introduced wrapper function.  This is preparation step to
add tracepoint to each page reference manipulation function.  With this
facility, we can easily find reason of CMA allocation failure.  There is
no functional change in this patch.

In addition, this patch also converts reference read sites.  It will
help a second step that renames page._count to something else and
prevents later attempt to direct access to it (Suggested by Andrew).

795ae7a0de mm: scale kswapd watermarks in proportion to memory
In machines with 140G of memory and enterprise flash storage, we have
seen read and write bursts routinely exceed the kswapd watermarks and
cause thundering herds in direct reclaim.  Unfortunately, the only way
to tune kswapd aggressiveness is through adjusting min_free_kbytes - the
system's emergency reserves - which is entirely unrelated to the
system's latency requirements.  In order to get kswapd to maintain a
250M buffer of free memory, the emergency reserves need to be set to 1G.
That is a lot of memory wasted for no good reason.

On the other hand, it's reasonable to assume that allocation bursts and
overall allocation concurrency scale with memory capacity, so it makes
sense to make kswapd aggressiveness a function of that as well.

Change the kswapd watermark scale factor from the currently fixed 25% of
the tunable emergency reserve to a tunable 0.1% of memory.

Beyond 1G of memory, this will produce bigger watermark steps than the
current formula in default settings.  Ensure that the new formula never
chooses steps smaller than that, i.e.  25% of the emergency reserve.

On a 140G machine, this raises the default watermark steps - the
distance between min and low, and low and high - from 16M to 143M.

3ed3a4f0dd mm: cleanup *pte_alloc* interfaces
There are few things about *pte_alloc*() helpers worth cleaning up:

 - 'vma' argument is unused, let's drop it;

 - most __pte_alloc() callers do speculative check for pmd_none(),
   before taking ptl: let's introduce pte_alloc() macro which does
   the check.

   The only direct user of __pte_alloc left is userfaultfd, which has
   different expectation about atomicity wrt pmd.

 - pte_alloc_map() and pte_alloc_map_lock() are redefined using
   pte_alloc().

d02bd27bd3 mm/page_alloc.c: calculate 'available' memory in a separate function
Add a new field, VIRTIO_BALLOON_S_AVAIL, to virtio_balloon memory
statistics protocol, corresponding to 'Available' in /proc/meminfo.

It indicates to the hypervisor how big the balloon can be inflated
without pushing the guest system to swap.  This metric would be very
useful in VM orchestration software to improve memory management of
different VMs under overcommit.

This patch (of 2):

Factor out calculation of the available memory counter into a separate
exportable function, in order to be able to use it in other parts of the
kernel.

In particular, it appears a relevant metric to report to the hypervisor
via virtio-balloon statistics interface (in a followup patch).
