Summary
* Bug fix: Avoid evaluating non-mount ctl_tables as a sysctl_mount_point by removing the unlikely (but possible) chance that the permanently empty ctl_table array shares its address with another ctl_table. * Update Joel Granados' contact info in MAINTAINERS. Testing * Bug fix merged to linux-next after 6.11-rc5 -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iQGzBAABCgAdFiEErkcJVyXmMSXOyyeQupfNUreWQU8FAmbtUfsACgkQupfNUreW QU+ptAv+JEbJR+VMLDZk3xAm1iRvqyzpVank8pJGgdp3kSYPY1KdJqAHo+ZXAD1r jtJMwyI4ELIQ7NnLq50qUCPScdBpXpG73QVp8Foip43x0E/pOxiSiz5C0m4NbRsU cKQuiRauOpfqrNvh22TVB3jjpL4cZbRpyP1kpMgf8edn3YlhYhJ04oXjVUk+zMMA muUifAlUAUMhQiHOqLynA7ZObwlqY+QoiJF8v4IPAcynYk0ZKNBmqAAMdIoBF4c8 rrgtIt/xlaJB6a1usS9B5xFbamrlaNPaiA3ul+lUeMLcArtoB5gwMTz+AGLu46aB +RCjhXmY3LBvMD16eyY9cge/3Qud2jyoyh0Qp9wHhgJwsaDWlG51qzi+PHr8ZtV5 jdtk8QzHZs07JFsE2HabppCtrgNxnwPiwBS7xm45u/p8dZ7buCvtZm1MEjgHu9M/ 6iVSEs+/S3+AZMz+/K3WaqaP/kYhXklwT16xN7b1+oxLNFfJ2RLcx0Xc7yZpGwRM 8YbaGnR2 =85Xa -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- Merge tag 'sysctl-6.12-rc1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/sysctl/sysctl Pull sysctl update from Joel Granados: - Avoid evaluating non-mount ctl_tables as a sysctl_mount_point by removing the unlikely (but possible) chance that the permanently empty ctl_table array shares its address with another ctl_table - Update Joel Granados' contact info in MAINTAINERS * tag 'sysctl-6.12-rc1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/sysctl/sysctl: MAINTAINERS: update email for Joel Granados sysctl: avoid spurious permanent empty tables |

Adds lots of MODULE_DESCRIPTIONs, thus fixing lots of warnings about this.
"nilfs2: add support for some common ioctls" from Ryusuke Konishi. Adds
various commonly-available ioctls to nilfs2.
"This series fixes a number of formatting issues in kernel doc comments"
from Ryusuke Konishi does that.

ALong with the usual shower of singleton patches, notable patch series in
this pull request are:
"Align kvrealloc() with krealloc()" from Danilo Krummrich. Adds
consistency to the APIs and behaviour of these two core allocation
functions. This also simplifies/enables Rustification.
"Some cleanups for shmem" from Baolin Wang. No functional changes - mode
code reuse, better function naming, logic simplifications.
"mm: some small page fault cleanups" from Josef Bacik. No functional
changes - code cleanups only.
"Various memory tiering fixes" from Zi Yan. A small fix and a little
cleanup.
"mm/swap: remove boilerplate" from Yu Zhao. Code cleanups and
simplifications and .text shrinkage.
"Kernel stack usage histogram" from Pasha Tatashin and Shakeel Butt. This
is a feature, it adds new feilds to /proc/vmstat such as
$ grep kstack /proc/vmstat
kstack_1k 3
kstack_2k 188
kstack_4k 11391
kstack_8k 243
kstack_16k 0
which tells us that 11391 processes used 4k of stack while none at all
used 16k. Useful for some system tuning things, but partivularly useful
for "the dynamic kernel stack project".
"kmemleak: support for percpu memory leak detect" from Pavel Tikhomirov.
Teaches kmemleak to detect leaksage of percpu memory.
"mm: memcg: page counters optimizations" from Roman Gushchin. "3
independent small optimizations of page counters".
"mm: split PTE/PMD PT table Kconfig cleanups+clarifications" from David
Hildenbrand. Improves PTE/PMD splitlock detection, makes powerpc/8xx work
correctly by design rather than by accident.
"mm: remove arch_make_page_accessible()" from David Hildenbrand. Some
folio conversions which make arch_make_page_accessible() unneeded.
"mm, memcg: cg2 memory{.swap,}.peak write handlers" fro David Finkel.
Cleans up and fixes our handling of the resetting of the cgroup/process
peak-memory-use detector.
"Make core VMA operations internal and testable" from Lorenzo Stoakes.
Rationalizaion and encapsulation of the VMA manipulation APIs. With a
view to better enable testing of the VMA functions, even from a
userspace-only harness.
"mm: zswap: fixes for global shrinker" from Takero Funaki. Fix issues in
the zswap global shrinker, resulting in improved performance.

cleanups and rationalizations (conversion to folio_walk()) resulting in
the removal of follow_page().
"improving dynamic zswap shrinker protection scheme" from Nhat Pham. Some
tuning to improve zswap's dynamic shrinker. Significant reductions in
swapin and improvements in performance are shown.
"mm: Fix several issues with unaccepted memory" from Kirill Shutemov.
Improvements to the new unaccepted memory feature,
"mm/mprotect: Fix dax puds" from Peter Xu. Implements mprotect on DAX
PUDs. This was missing, although nobody seems to have notied yet.
"Introduce a store type enum for the Maple tree" from Sidhartha Kumar.
Cleanups and modest performance improvements for the maple tree library
code.
"memcg: further decouple v1 code from v2" from Shakeel Butt. Move more
cgroup v1 remnants away from the v2 memcg code.
"memcg: initiate deprecation of v1 features" from Shakeel Butt. Adds
various warnings telling users that memcg v1 features are deprecated.

In the v6.12 scheduler development cycle we had 63 commits from 18 contributors:
- Implement the SCHED_DEADLINE server infrastructure - Daniel Bristot de Oliveira's
last major contribution to the kernel:
"SCHED_DEADLINE servers can help fixing starvation issues of low priority
tasks (e.g., SCHED_OTHER) when higher priority tasks monopolize CPU
cycles. Today we have RT Throttling; DEADLINE servers should be able to
replace and improve that."
(Daniel Bristot de Oliveira, Peter Zijlstra, Joel Fernandes,
Youssef Esmat, Huang Shijie)
- Preparatory changes for sched_ext integration:
- Use set_next_task(.first) where required
- Fix up set_next_task() implementations
- Clean up DL server vs. core sched
- Split up put_prev_task_balance()
- Rework pick_next_task()
- Combine the last put_prev_task() and the first set_next_task()
- Rework dl_server
- Add put_prev_task(.next)
(Peter Zijlstra, with a fix by Tejun Heo)
- Complete the EEVDF transition and refine EEVDF scheduling:
- Implement delayed dequeue
- Allow shorter slices to wakeup-preempt
- Use sched_attr::sched_runtime to set request/slice suggestion
- Document the new feature flags
- Remove unused and duplicate-functionality fields
- Simplify & unify pick_next_task_fair()
- Misc debuggability enhancements
(Peter Zijlstra, with fixes/cleanups by Dietmar Eggemann,
Valentin Schneider and Chuyi Zhou)
- Initialize the vruntime of a new task when it is first enqueued,
resulting in significant decrease in latency of newly woken tasks.
(Zhang Qiao)
- Introduce SM_IDLE and an idle re-entry fast-path in __schedule()
(K Prateek Nayak, Peter Zijlstra)
- Clean up and clarify the usage of Clean up usage of rt_task()
(Qais Yousef)
- Preempt SCHED_IDLE entities in strict cgroup hierarchies
(Tianchen Ding)
- Clarify the documentation of time units for deadline scheduler
parameters. (Christian Loehle)
- Remove the HZ_BW chicken-bit feature flag introduced a year ago,
the original change seems to be working fine.
(Phil Auld)
- Misc fixes and cleanups (Chen Yu, Dan Carpenter, Huang Shijie,
Peilin He, Qais Yousefm and Vincent Guittot)

Pull scheduler updates from Ingo Molnar:
- Implement the SCHED_DEADLINE server infrastructure - Daniel Bristot
de Oliveira's last major contribution to the kernel:
"SCHED_DEADLINE servers can help fixing starvation issues of low
priority tasks (e.g., SCHED_OTHER) when higher priority tasks
monopolize CPU cycles. Today we have RT Throttling; DEADLINE
servers should be able to replace and improve that."
(Daniel Bristot de Oliveira, Peter Zijlstra, Joel Fernandes, Youssef
Esmat, Huang Shijie)
- Preparatory changes for sched_ext integration:
- Use set_next_task(.first) where required
- Fix up set_next_task() implementations
- Clean up DL server vs. core sched
- Split up put_prev_task_balance()
- Rework pick_next_task()
- Combine the last put_prev_task() and the first set_next_task()
- Rework dl_server
- Add put_prev_task(.next)
(Peter Zijlstra, with a fix by Tejun Heo)
- Complete the EEVDF transition and refine EEVDF scheduling:
- Implement delayed dequeue
- Allow shorter slices to wakeup-preempt
- Use sched_attr::sched_runtime to set request/slice suggestion
- Document the new feature flags
- Remove unused and duplicate-functionality fields
- Simplify & unify pick_next_task_fair()
- Misc debuggability enhancements
(Peter Zijlstra, with fixes/cleanups by Dietmar Eggemann, Valentin
Schneider and Chuyi Zhou)
- Initialize the vruntime of a new task when it is first enqueued,
resulting in significant decrease in latency of newly woken tasks
(Zhang Qiao)
- Introduce SM_IDLE and an idle re-entry fast-path in __schedule()
(K Prateek Nayak, Peter Zijlstra)
- Clean up and clarify the usage of Clean up usage of rt_task()
(Qais Yousef)
- Preempt SCHED_IDLE entities in strict cgroup hierarchies
(Tianchen Ding)
- Clarify the documentation of time units for deadline scheduler
parameters (Christian Loehle)
- Remove the HZ_BW chicken-bit feature flag introduced a year ago,
the original change seems to be working fine (Phil Auld)
- Misc fixes and cleanups (Chen Yu, Dan Carpenter, Huang Shijie,
Peilin He, Qais Yousefm and Vincent Guittot)

Pull random number generator updates from Jason Donenfeld:
"Originally I'd planned on sending each of the vDSO getrandom()
architecture ports to their respective arch trees. But as we started
to work on this, we found lots of interesting issues in the shared
code and infrastructure, the fixes for which the various archs needed
to base their work.
So in the end, this turned into a nice collaborative effort fixing up
issues and porting to 5 new architectures -- arm64, powerpc64,
powerpc32, s390x, and loongarch64 -- with everybody pitching in and
commenting on each other's code. It was a fun development cycle.
This contains:
- Numerous fixups to the vDSO selftest infrastructure, getting it
running successfully on more platforms, and fixing bugs in it.
- Additions to the vDSO getrandom & chacha selftests. Basically every
time manual review unearthed a bug in a revision of an arch patch,
or an ambiguity, the tests were augmented.
By the time the last arch was submitted for review, s390x, v1 of
the series was essentially fine right out of the gate.
- Fixes to the the generic C implementation of vDSO getrandom, to
build and run successfully on all archs, decoupling it from
assumptions we had (unintentionally) made on x86_64 that didn't
carry through to the other architectures.
- Port of vDSO getrandom to LoongArch64, from Xi Ruoyao and acked by
Huacai Chen.
- Port of vDSO getrandom to ARM64, from Adhemerval Zanella and acked
by Will Deacon.
- Port of vDSO getrandom to PowerPC, in both 32-bit and 64-bit
varieties, from Christophe Leroy and acked by Michael Ellerman.
- Port of vDSO getrandom to S390X from Heiko Carstens, the arch
maintainer.
While it'd be natural for there to be things to fix up over the course
of the development cycle, these patches got a decent amount of review
from a fairly diverse crew of folks on the mailing lists, and, for the
most part, they've been cooking in linux-next, which has been helpful
for ironing out build issues.
In terms of architectures, I think that mostly takes care of the
important 64-bit archs with hardware still being produced and running
production loads in settings where vDSO getrandom is likely to help.
Arguably there's still RISC-V left, and we'll see for 6.13 whether
they find it useful and submit a port"

Pull printk updates from Petr Mladek:
"This is the "last" part of the support for the new nbcon consoles.
Where "nbcon" stays for "No Big console lock CONsoles" aka not under
the console_lock.
New callbacks are added to struct console:
- write_thread() for flushing nbcon consoles in task context.
- write_atomic() for flushing nbcon consoles in atomic context,
including NMI.
- con->device_lock() and device_unlock() for taking the driver
specific lock, for example, port->lock.
New printk-specific kthreads are created:
- per-console kthreads which get responsible for flushing normal
priority messages on nbcon consoles.
- thread which gets responsible for flushing normal priority messages
on all consoles when CONFIG_RT enabled.
The new callbacks are called under a special per-console lock which
has already been added back in v6.7. It allows to distinguish three
severities: normal, emergency, and panic. A context with a higher
priority could take over the ownership when it is safe even in the
middle of handling a record. The panic context could do it even when
it is not safe. But it is allowed only for the final desperate flush
before entering the infinite loop.
The new lock helps to flush the messages directly in emergency and
panic contexts. But it is not enough in all situations:
- console_lock() is still need for synchronization against boot
consoles.
- con->device_lock() is need for synchronization against other
operations on the same HW, e.g. serial port speed setting,
non-printk related read/write.
The dependency on con->device_lock() is mutual. Any code taking the
driver specific lock has to acquire the related nbcon console context
as well. For example, see the new uart_port_lock() API. It provides
the necessary synchronization against emergency and panic contexts
where the messages are flushed only under the new per-console lock.
Maybe surprisingly, a quite tricky part is the decision how to flush
the consoles in various situations. It has to take into account:
- message priority: normal, emergency, panic
- scheduling context: task, atomic, deferred_legacy
- registered consoles: boot, legacy, nbcon
- threads are running: early boot, suspend, shutdown, panic
- caller: printk(), pr_flush(), printk_flush_in_panic(),
console_unlock(), console_start(), ...
The primary decision is made in printk_get_console_flush_type(). It
creates a hint what the caller should do:
- flush nbcon consoles directly or via the kthread
- call the legacy loop (console_unlock()) directly or via irq_work
The existing behavior is preserved for the legacy consoles. The only
exception is that they are not longer flushed directly from printk()
in panic() before CPUs are stopped. But this blocking happens only
when at least one nbcon console is registered. The motivation is to
increase a chance to produce the crash dump. They legacy consoles
might create a deadlock in compare with nbcon consoles. The nbcon
console should allow to see the messages even when the crash dump
fails.
There are three possible ways how nbcon consoles are flushed:
- The per-nbcon-console kthread is responsible for flushing messages
added with the normal priority. This is the default mode.
- The legacy loop, aka console_unlock(), is used when there is still
a boot console registered. There is no easy way how to match an
early console driver with a nbcon console driver. And the
console_lock() provides the only reliable serialization at the
moment.
The legacy loop uses either con->write_atomic() or
con->write_thread() callbacks depending on whether it is allowed to
schedule. The atomic variant has to be used from printk().
- In other situations, the messages are flushed directly using
write_atomic() which can be called in any context, including NMI.
It is primary needed during early boot or shutdown, in emergency
situations, and panic.
The emergency priority is used by a code called within
nbcon_cpu_emergency_enter()/exit(). At the moment, it is used in four
situations: WARN(), Oops, lockdep, and RCU stall reports.
Finally, there is no nbcon console at the moment. It means that the
changes should _not_ modify the existing behavior. The only exception
is CONFIG_RT which would force offloading the legacy loop, for normal
priority context, into the dedicated kthread"

Pull procfs updates from Christian Brauner:
"This contains the following changes for procfs:
- Add config options and parameters to block forcing memory writes.
This adds a Kconfig option and boot param to allow removing the
FOLL_FORCE flag from /proc/<pid>/mem write calls as this can be
used in various attacks.
The traditional forcing behavior is kept as default because it can
break GDB and some other use cases.
This is the simpler version that you had requested.
- Restrict overmounting of ephemeral entities.
It is currently possible to mount on top of various ephemeral
entities in procfs. This specifically includes magic links. To
recap, magic links are links of the form /proc/<pid>/fd/<nr>. They
serve as references to a target file and during path lookup they
cause a jump to the target path. Such magic links disappear if the
corresponding file descriptor is closed.
Currently it is possible to overmount such magic links. This is
mostly interesting for an attacker that wants to somehow trick a
process into e.g., reopening something that it didn't intend to
reopen or to hide a malicious file descriptor.
But also it risks leaking mounts for long-running processes. When
overmounting a magic link like above, the mount will not be
detached when the file descriptor is closed. Only the target
mountpoint will disappear. Which has the consequence of making it
impossible to unmount that mount afterwards. So the mount will
stick around until the process exits and the /proc/<pid>/ directory
is cleaned up during proc_flush_pid() when the dentries are pruned
and invalidated.
That in turn means it's possible for a program to accidentally leak
mounts and it's also possible to make a task leak mounts without
it's knowledge if the attacker just keeps overmounting things under
/proc/<pid>/fd/<nr>.
Disallow overmounting of such ephemeral entities.
- Cleanup the readdir method naming in some procfs file operations.
- Replace kmalloc() and strcpy() with a simple kmemdup() call"

Pull vfs file updates from Christian Brauner:
"This is the work to cleanup and shrink struct file significantly.
Right now, (focusing on x86) struct file is 232 bytes. After this
series struct file will be 184 bytes aka 3 cacheline and a spare 8
bytes for future extensions at the end of the struct.
With struct file being as ubiquitous as it is this should make a
difference for file heavy workloads and allow further optimizations in
the future.
- struct fown_struct was embedded into struct file letting it take up
32 bytes in total when really it shouldn't even be embedded in
struct file in the first place. Instead, actual users of struct
fown_struct now allocate the struct on demand. This frees up 24
bytes.
- Move struct file_ra_state into the union containg the cleanup hooks
and move f_iocb_flags out of the union. This closes a 4 byte hole
we created earlier and brings struct file to 192 bytes. Which means
struct file is 3 cachelines and we managed to shrink it by 40
bytes.
- Reorder struct file so that nothing crosses a cacheline.
I suspect that in the future we will end up reordering some members
to mitigate false sharing issues or just because someone does
actually provide really good perf data.
- Shrinking struct file to 192 bytes is only part of the work.
Files use a slab that is SLAB_TYPESAFE_BY_RCU and when a kmem cache
is created with SLAB_TYPESAFE_BY_RCU the free pointer must be
located outside of the object because the cache doesn't know what
part of the memory can safely be overwritten as it may be needed to
prevent object recycling.
That has the consequence that SLAB_TYPESAFE_BY_RCU may end up
adding a new cacheline.
So this also contains work to add a new kmem_cache_create_rcu()
function that allows the caller to specify an offset where the
freelist pointer is supposed to be placed. Thus avoiding the
implicit addition of a fourth cacheline.
- And finally this removes the f_version member in struct file.
The f_version member isn't particularly well-defined. It is mainly
used as a cookie to detect concurrent seeks when iterating
directories. But it is also abused by some subsystems for
completely unrelated things.
It is mostly a directory and filesystem specific thing that doesn't
really need to live in struct file and with its wonky semantics it
really lacks a specific function.
For pipes, f_version is (ab)used to defer poll notifications until
a write has happened. And struct pipe_inode_info is used by
multiple struct files in their ->private_data so there's no chance
of pushing that down into file->private_data without introducing
another pointer indirection.
But pipes don't rely on f_pos_lock so this adds a union into struct
file encompassing f_pos_lock and a pipe specific f_pipe member that
pipes can use. This union of course can be extended to other file
types and is similar to what we do in struct inode already"

Pull misc vfs updates from Christian Brauner:
"This contains the usual pile of misc updates:
Features:
- Add F_CREATED_QUERY fcntl() that allows userspace to query whether
a file was actually created. Often userspace wants to know whether
an O_CREATE request did actually create a file without using
O_EXCL. The current logic is that to first attempts to open the
file without O_CREAT | O_EXCL and if ENOENT is returned userspace
tries again with both flags. If that succeeds all is well. If it
now reports EEXIST it retries.
That works fairly well but some corner cases make this more
involved. If this operates on a dangling symlink the first openat()
without O_CREAT | O_EXCL will return ENOENT but the second openat()
with O_CREAT | O_EXCL will fail with EEXIST.
The reason is that openat() without O_CREAT | O_EXCL follows the
symlink while O_CREAT | O_EXCL doesn't for security reasons. So
it's not something we can really change unless we add an explicit
opt-in via O_FOLLOW which seems really ugly.
All available workarounds are really nasty (fanotify, bpf lsm etc)
so add a simple fcntl().
- Try an opportunistic lookup for O_CREAT. Today, when opening a file
we'll typically do a fast lookup, but if O_CREAT is set, the kernel
always takes the exclusive inode lock. This was likely done with
the expectation that O_CREAT means that we always expect to do the
create, but that's often not the case. Many programs set O_CREAT
even in scenarios where the file already exists (see related
F_CREATED_QUERY patch motivation above).
The series contained in the pr rearranges the pathwalk-for-open
code to also attempt a fast_lookup in certain O_CREAT cases. If a
positive dentry is found, the inode_lock can be avoided altogether
and it can stay in rcuwalk mode for the last step_into.
- Expose the 64 bit mount id via name_to_handle_at()
Now that we provide a unique 64-bit mount ID interface in statx(2),
we can now provide a race-free way for name_to_handle_at(2) to
provide a file handle and corresponding mount without needing to
worry about racing with /proc/mountinfo parsing or having to open a
file just to do statx(2).
While this is not necessary if you are using AT_EMPTY_PATH and
don't care about an extra statx(2) call, users that pass full paths
into name_to_handle_at(2) need to know which mount the file handle
comes from (to make sure they don't try to open_by_handle_at a file
handle from a different filesystem) and switching to AT_EMPTY_PATH
would require allocating a file for every name_to_handle_at(2) call
- Add a per dentry expire timeout to autofs
There are two fairly well known automounter map formats, the autofs
format and the amd format (more or less System V and Berkley).
Some time ago Linux autofs added an amd map format parser that
implemented a fair amount of the amd functionality. This was done
within the autofs infrastructure and some functionality wasn't
implemented because it either didn't make sense or required extra
kernel changes. The idea was to restrict changes to be within the
existing autofs functionality as much as possible and leave changes
with a wider scope to be considered later.
One of these changes is implementing the amd options:
1) "unmount", expire this mount according to a timeout (same as
the current autofs default).
2) "nounmount", don't expire this mount (same as setting the
autofs timeout to 0 except only for this specific mount) .
3) "utimeout=<seconds>", expire this mount using the specified
timeout (again same as setting the autofs timeout but only for
this mount)
To implement these options per-dentry expire timeouts need to be
implemented for autofs indirect mounts. This is because all map
keys (mounts) for autofs indirect mounts use an expire timeout
stored in the autofs mount super block info. structure and all
indirect mounts use the same expire timeout.
Fixes:
- Fix missing fput for FSCONFIG_SET_FD in autofs
- Use param->file for FSCONFIG_SET_FD in coda
- Delete the 'fs/netfs' proc subtreee when netfs module exits
- Make sure that struct uid_gid_map fits into a single cacheline
- Don't flush in-flight wb switches for superblocks without cgroup
writeback
- Correcting the idmapping mount example in the idmapping
documentation
- Fix a race between evice_inodes() and find_inode() and iput()
- Refine the show_inode_state() macro definition in writeback code
- Prevent dump_mapping() from accessing invalid dentry.d_name.name
- Show actual source for debugfs in /proc/mounts
- Annotate data-race of busy_poll_usecs in eventpoll
- Don't WARN for racy path_noexec check in exec code
- Handle OOM on mnt_warn_timestamp_expiry()
- Fix some spelling in the iomap design documentation
- Fix typo in procfs comment
- Fix typo in fs/namespace.c comment
Cleanups:
- Add the VFS git tree to the MAINTAINERS file
- Move FMODE_UNSIGNED_OFFSET to fop_flags freeing up another f_mode
bit in struct file bringing us to 5 free f_mode bits
- Remove the __I_DIO_WAKEUP bit from i_state flags as we can simplify
the wait mechanism
- Remove the unused path_put_init() helper
- Replace a __u32 with u32 for s_fsnotify_mask as __u32 is uapi
specific
- Replace the unsigned long i_state member with a u32 i_state member
in struct inode freeing up 4 bytes in struct inode. Instead of
using the bit based wait apis we're now using the var event apis
and using the individual bytes of the i_state member to wait on
state changes
- Explain how per-syscall AT_* flags should be allocated
- Use in_group_or_capable() helper to simplify the posix acl mode
update code
- Switch to LIST_HEAD() in fsync_buffers_list() to simplify the code
- Removed comment about d_rcu_to_refcount() as that function doesn't
exist anymore
- Add kernel documentation for lookup_fast()
- Don't re-zero evenpoll fields
- Remove outdated comment after close_fd()
- Fix imprecise wording in comment about the pipe filesystem
- Drop GFP_NOFAIL mode from alloc_page_buffers
- Missing blank line warnings and struct declaration improved in

- Annotate struct poll_list with __counted_by()
- Remove the unused read parameter in percpu-rwsem
- Remove linux/prefetch.h include from direct-io code
- Use kmemdup_array instead of kmemdup for multiple allocation in
mnt_idmapping code
- Remove unused mnt_cursor_del() declaration
Performance tweaks:
- Dodge smp_mb in break_lease and break_deleg in the common case
- Only read fops once in fops_{get,put}()
- Use RCU in ilookup()
- Elide smp_mb in iversion handling in the common case
- Drop one lock trip in evict()"

sysctl: avoid spurious permanent empty tables
The test if a table is a permanently empty one, inspects the address of the registered ctl_table argument. However as sysctl_mount_point is an empty array and does not occupy and space it can end up sharing an address with another object in memory. If that other object itself is a "struct ctl_table" then registering that table will fail as it's incorrectly recognized as permanently empty. Avoid this issue by adding a dummy element to the array so that is not empty anymore. Explicitly register the table with zero elements as otherwise the dummy element would be recognized as a sentinel element which would lead to a runtime warning from the sysctl core. While the issue seems not being encountered at this time, this seems mostly to be due to luck. Also a future change, constifying sysctl_mount_point and root_table, can reliably trigger this issue on clang 18. Given that empty arrays are non-standard in the first place it seems prudent to avoid them if possible. Fixes: |

Merge patch series "proc: restrict overmounting of ephemeral entities"
Christian Brauner <brauner@kernel.org> says:
It is currently possible to mount on top of various ephemeral entities
in procfs. This specifically includes magic links. To recap, magic links
are links of the form /proc/<pid>/fd/<nr>. They serve as references to
a target file and during path lookup they cause a jump to the target
path. Such magic links disappear if the corresponding file descriptor is
closed.
Currently it is possible to overmount such magic links:
int fd = open("/mnt/foo", O_RDONLY);
sprintf(path, "/proc/%d/fd/%d", getpid(), fd);
int fd2 = openat(AT_FDCWD, path, O_PATH | O_NOFOLLOW);
mount("/mnt/bar", path, "", MS_BIND, 0);
Arguably, this is nonsensical and is mostly interesting for an attacker
that wants to somehow trick a process into e.g., reopening something
that they didn't intend to reopen or to hide a malicious file
descriptor.
But also it risks leaking mounts for long-running processes. When
overmounting a magic link like above, the mount will not be detached
when the file descriptor is closed. Only the target mountpoint will
disappear. Which has the consequence of making it impossible to unmount
that mount afterwards. So the mount will stick around until the process
exits and the /proc/<pid>/ directory is cleaned up during
proc_flush_pid() when the dentries are pruned and invalidated.
That in turn means it's possible for a program to accidentally leak
mounts and it's also possible to make a task leak mounts without it's
knowledge if the attacker just keeps overmounting things under
/proc/<pid>/fd/<nr>.
I think it's wrong to try and fix this by us starting to play games with
close() or somewhere else to undo these mounts when the file descriptor
is closed. The fact that we allow overmounting of such magic links is
simply a bug and one that we need to fix.
Similar things can be said about entries under fdinfo/ and map_files/ so
those are restricted as well.
I have a further more aggressive patch that gets out the big hammer and
makes everything under /proc/<pid>/*, as well as immediate symlinks such
as /proc/self, /proc/thread-self, /proc/mounts, /proc/net that point
into /proc/<pid>/ not overmountable. Imho, all of this should be blocked
if we can get away with it. It's only useful to hide exploits such as in [1].
And again, overmounting of any global procfs files remains unaffected
and is an existing and supported use-case.
Link: https://righteousit.com/2024/07/24/hiding-linux-processes-with-bind-mounts [1]
// Note that repro uses the traditional way of just mounting over
// /proc/<pid>/fd/<nr>. This could also all be achieved just based on
// file descriptors using move_mount(). So /proc/<pid>/fd/<nr> isn't the

The traditional forcing behavior is kept as default because it can break GDB and some other use cases. Previously we tried a more sophisticated approach allowing distributions to fine-tune /proc/pid/mem behavior, however that got NAK-ed by Linus [1], who prefers this simpler approach with semantics also easier to understand for users.

hrtimer: Use and report correct timerslack values for realtime tasks
The timerslack_ns setting is used to specify how much the hardware timers should be delayed, to potentially dispatch multiple timers in a single interrupt. This is a performance optimization. Timers of realtime tasks (having a realtime scheduling policy) should not be delayed. This logic was inconsitently applied to the hrtimers, leading to delays of realtime tasks which used timed waits for events (e.g. condition variables). Due to the downstream override of the slack for rt tasks, the procfs reported incorrect (non-zero) timerslack_ns values. This is changed by setting the timer_slack_ns task attribute to 0 for all tasks with a rt policy. By that, downstream users do not need to specially handle rt tasks (w.r.t. the slack), and the procfs entry shows the correct value of "0". Setting non-zero slack values (either via procfs or PR_SET_TIMERSLACK) on tasks with a rt policy is ignored, as stated in "man 2 PR_SET_TIMERSLACK": Timer slack is not applied to threads that are scheduled under a real-time scheduling policy (see sched_setscheduler(2)). The special handling of timerslack on rt tasks in downstream users is removed as well.

mm: add MAP_DROPPABLE for designating always lazily freeable mappings
The vDSO getrandom() implementation works with a buffer allocated with a
new system call that has certain requirements:
- It shouldn't be written to core dumps.
* Easy: VM_DONTDUMP.
- It should be zeroed on fork.
* Easy: VM_WIPEONFORK.
- It shouldn't be written to swap.
* Uh-oh: mlock is rlimited.
* Uh-oh: mlock isn't inherited by forks.
- It shouldn't reserve actual memory, but it also shouldn't crash when
page faulting in memory if none is available
* Uh-oh: VM_NORESERVE means segfaults.
It turns out that the vDSO getrandom() function has three really nice
characteristics that we can exploit to solve this problem:
1) Due to being wiped during fork(), the vDSO code is already robust to
having the contents of the pages it reads zeroed out midway through
the function's execution.
2) In the absolute worst case of whatever contingency we're coding for,
we have the option to fallback to the getrandom() syscall, and
everything is fine.
3) The buffers the function uses are only ever useful for a maximum of
60 seconds -- a sort of cache, rather than a long term allocation.
These characteristics mean that we can introduce VM_DROPPABLE, which
has the following semantics:
a) It never is written out to swap.
b) Under memory pressure, mm can just drop the pages (so that they're
zero when read back again).
c) It is inherited by fork.
d) It doesn't count against the mlock budget, since nothing is locked.
e) If there's not enough memory to service a page fault, it's not fatal,
and no signal is sent.
This way, allocations used by vDSO getrandom() can use:
VM_DROPPABLE | VM_DONTDUMP | VM_WIPEONFORK | VM_NORESERVE
And there will be no problem with OOMing, crashing on overcommitment,
using memory when not in use, not wiping on fork(), coredumps, or
writing out to swap.
In order to let vDSO getrandom() use this, expose these via mmap(2) as
MAP_DROPPABLE.
Note that this involves removing the MADV_FREE special case from
sort_folio(), which according to Yu Zhao is unnecessary and will simply
result in an extra call to shrink_folio_list() in the worst case. The
chunk removed reenables the swapbacked flag, which we don't want for
VM_DROPPABLE, and we can't conditionalize it here because there isn't a
vma reference available.
Finally, the provided self test ensures that this is working as desired.

sysctl changes for 6.11-rc1
Summary
* Remove "->procname == NULL" check when iterating through sysctl table arrays
Removing sentinels in ctl_table arrays reduces the build time size and
runtime memory consumed by ~64 bytes per array. With all ctl_table
sentinels gone, the additional check for ->procname == NULL that worked in
tandem with the ARRAY_SIZE to calculate the size of the ctl_table arrays is
no longer needed and has been removed. The sysctl register functions now
returns an error if a sentinel is used.
* Preparation patches for sysctl constification
Constifying ctl_table structs prevents the modification of proc_handler
function pointers as they would reside in .rodata. The ctl_table arguments
in sysctl utility functions are const qualified in preparation for a future
treewide proc_handler argument constification commit.
* Misc fixes
Increase robustness of set_ownership by providing sane default ownership
values in case the callee doesn't set them. Bound check proc_dou8vec_minmax
to avoid loading buggy modules and give sysctl testing module a name to
avoid compiler complaints.
Testing
* This got push to linux-next in v6.10-rc2, so it has had more than a month
of testing

- Remove "->procname == NULL" check when iterating through sysctl table
arrays
Removing sentinels in ctl_table arrays reduces the build time size
and runtime memory consumed by ~64 bytes per array. With all
ctl_table sentinels gone, the additional check for ->procname == NULL
that worked in tandem with the ARRAY_SIZE to calculate the size of
the ctl_table arrays is no longer needed and has been removed. The
sysctl register functions now returns an error if a sentinel is used.
- Preparation patches for sysctl constification
Constifying ctl_table structs prevents the modification of
proc_handler function pointers as they would reside in .rodata. The
ctl_table arguments in sysctl utility functions are const qualified
in preparation for a future treewide proc_handler argument
constification commit.
- Misc fixes
Increase robustness of set_ownership by providing sane default
ownership values in case the callee doesn't set them. Bound check
proc_dou8vec_minmax to avoid loading buggy modules and give sysctl
testing module a name to avoid compiler complaints.

Pull misc vfs updates from Christian Brauner:
"Features:
- Support passing NULL along AT_EMPTY_PATH for statx().
NULL paths with any flag value other than AT_EMPTY_PATH go the
usual route and end up with -EFAULT to retain compatibility (Rust
is abusing calls of the sort to detect availability of statx)
This avoids path lookup code, lockref management, memory allocation
and in case of NULL path userspace memory access (which can be
quite expensive with SMAP on x86_64)
- Don't block i_writecount during exec. Remove the
deny_write_access() mechanism for executables
- Relax open_by_handle_at() permissions in specific cases where we
can prove that the caller had sufficient privileges to open a file
- Switch timespec64 fields in struct inode to discrete integers
freeing up 4 bytes
Fixes:
- Fix false positive circular locking warning in hfsplus
- Initialize hfs_inode_info after hfs_alloc_inode() in hfs
- Avoid accidental overflows in vfs_fallocate()
- Don't interrupt fallocate with EINTR in tmpfs to avoid constantly
restarting shmem_fallocate()
- Add missing quote in comment in fs/readdir
Cleanups:
- Don't assign and test in an if statement in mqueue. Move the
assignment out of the if statement
- Reflow the logic in may_create_in_sticky()
- Remove the usage of the deprecated ida_simple_xx() API from procfs
- Reject FSCONFIG_CMD_CREATE_EXCL requets that depend on the new
mount api early
- Rename variables in copy_tree() to make it easier to understand
- Replace WARN(down_read_trylock, ...) abuse with proper asserts in
various places in the VFS
- Get rid of user_path_at_empty() and drop the empty argument from
getname_flags()
- Check for error while copying and no path in one branch in
getname_flags()
- Avoid redundant smp_mb() for THP handling in do_dentry_open()
- Rename parent_ino to d_parent_ino and make it use RCU
- Remove unused header include in fs/readdir
- Export in_group_capable() helper and switch f2fs and fuse over to

kpageflags: detect isolated KPF_THP folios
When folio is isolated, the PG_lru bit is cleared. So the PG_lru check in stable_page_flags() will miss this kind of isolated folios. Use folio_test_large_rmappable() instead to also include isolated folios. Since pagecache supports large folios and the introduction of mTHP, the semantics of KPF_THP have been expanded, now it indicates not only PMD-sized THP. Update related documentation to clearly state that KPF_THP indicates multiple order THPs.

On powerpc 8xx huge_ptep_get() will need to know whether the given ptep is a PTE entry or a PMD entry. This cannot be known with the PMD entry itself because there is no easy way to know it from the content of the entry. So huge_ptep_get() will need to know either the size of the page or get the pmd.

fs/procfs: add build ID fetching to PROCMAP_QUERY API
The need to get ELF build ID reliably is an important aspect when dealing with profiling and stack trace symbolization, and /proc/<pid>/maps textual representation doesn't help with this. To get backing file's ELF build ID, application has to first resolve VMA, then use it's start/end address range to follow a special /proc/<pid>/map_files/<start>-<end> symlink to open the ELF file (this is necessary because backing file might have been removed from the disk or was already replaced with another binary in the same file path. Such approach, beyond just adding complexity of having to do a bunch of extra work, has extra security implications. Because application opens underlying ELF file and needs read access to its entire contents (as far as kernel is concerned), kernel puts additional capable() checks on following /proc/<pid>/map_files/<start>-<end> symlink. And that makes sense in general. But in the case of build ID, profiler/symbolizer doesn't need the contents of ELF file, per se. It's only build ID that is of interest, and ELF build ID itself doesn't provide any sensitive information. So this patch adds a way to request backing file's ELF build ID along the rest of VMA information in the same API. User has control over whether this piece of information is requested or not by either setting build_id_size field to zero or non-zero maximum buffer size they provided through build_id_addr field (which encodes user pointer as __u64 field). This is a completely optional piece of information, and so has no performance implications for user cases that don't care about build ID, while improving performance and simplifying the setup for those application that do need it. Kernel already implements build ID fetching, which is used from BPF subsystem. We are reusing this code here, but plan a follow up changes to make it work better under more relaxed assumption (compared to what existing code assumes) of being called from user process context, in which page faults are allowed. BPF-specific implementation currently bails out if necessary part of ELF file is not paged in, all due to extra BPF-specific restrictions (like the need to fetch build ID in restrictive contexts such as NMI handler).

fs/procfs: implement efficient VMA querying API for /proc/<pid>/maps
/proc/<pid>/maps file is extremely useful in practice for various tasks involving figuring out process memory layout, what files are backing any given memory range, etc. One important class of applications that absolutely rely on this are profilers/stack symbolizers (perf tool being one of them). Patterns of use differ, but they generally would fall into two categories. In on-demand pattern, a profiler/symbolizer would normally capture stack trace containing absolute memory addresses of some functions, and would then use /proc/<pid>/maps file to find corresponding backing ELF files (normally, only executable VMAs are of interest), file offsets within them, and then continue from there to get yet more information (ELF symbols, DWARF information) to get human-readable symbolic information. This pattern is used by Meta's fleet-wide profiler, as one example. In preprocessing pattern, application doesn't know the set of addresses of interest, so it has to fetch all relevant VMAs (again, probably only executable ones), store or cache them, then proceed with profiling and stack trace capture. Once done, it would do symbolization based on stored VMA information. This can happen at much later point in time. This patterns is used by perf tool, as an example. In either case, there are both performance and correctness requirement involved. This address to VMA information translation has to be done as efficiently as possible, but also not miss any VMA (especially in the case of loading/unloading shared libraries). In practice, correctness can't be guaranteed (due to process dying before VMA data can be captured, or shared library being unloaded, etc), but any effort to maximize the chance of finding the VMA is appreciated. Unfortunately, for all the /proc/<pid>/maps file universality and usefulness, it doesn't fit the above use cases 100%. First, it's main purpose is to emit all VMAs sequentially, but in practice captured addresses would fall only into a smaller subset of all process' VMAs, mainly containing executable text. Yet, library would need to parse most or all of the contents to find needed VMAs, as there is no way to skip VMAs that are of no use. Efficient library can do the linear pass and it is still relatively efficient, but it's definitely an overhead that can be avoided, if there was a way to do more targeted querying of the relevant VMA information. Second, it's a text based interface, which makes its programmatic use from applications and libraries more cumbersome and inefficient due to the need to handle text parsing to get necessary pieces of information. The overhead is actually payed both by kernel, formatting originally binary VMA data into text, and then by user space application, parsing it back into binary data for further use. For the on-demand pattern of usage, described above, another problem when writing generic stack trace symbolization library is an unfortunate performance-vs-correctness tradeoff that needs to be made. Library has to make a decision to either cache parsed contents of /proc/<pid>/maps (after initial processing) to service future requests (if application requests to symbolize another set of addresses (for the same process), captured at some later time, which is typical for periodic/continuous profiling cases) to avoid higher costs of re-parsing this file. Or it has to choose to cache the contents in memory to speed up future requests. In the former case, more memory is used for the cache and there is a risk of getting stale data if application loads or unloads shared libraries, or otherwise changed its set of VMAs somehow, e.g., through additional mmap() calls. In the latter case, it's the performance hit that comes from re-opening the file and re-parsing its contents all over again. This patch aims to solve this problem by providing a new API built on top of /proc/<pid>/maps. It's meant to address both non-selectiveness and text nature of /proc/<pid>/maps, by giving user more control of what sort of VMA(s) needs to be queried, and being binary-based interface eliminates the overhead of text formatting (on kernel side) and parsing (on user space side). It's also designed to be extensible and forward/backward compatible by including required struct size field, which user has to provide. We use established copy_struct_from_user() approach to handle extensibility. User has a choice to pick either getting VMA that covers provided address or -ENOENT if none is found (exact, least surprising, case). Or, with an extra query flag (PROCMAP_QUERY_COVERING_OR_NEXT_VMA), they can get either VMA that covers the address (if there is one), or the closest next VMA (i.e., VMA with the smallest vm_start > addr). The latter allows more efficient use, but, given it could be a surprising behavior, requires an explicit opt-in. There is another query flag that is useful for some use cases. PROCMAP_QUERY_FILE_BACKED_VMA instructs this API to only return file-backed VMAs. Combining this with PROCMAP_QUERY_COVERING_OR_NEXT_VMA makes it possible to efficiently iterate only file-backed VMAs of the process, which is what profilers/symbolizers are normally interested in. All the above querying flags can be combined with (also optional) set of desired VMA permissions flags. This allows to, for example, iterate only an executable subset of VMAs, which is what preprocessing pattern, used by perf tool, would benefit from, as the assumption is that captured stack traces would have addresses of executable code. This saves time by skipping non-executable VMAs altogether efficienty. All these querying flags (modifiers) are orthogonal and can be combined in a semantically meaningful and natural way. Basing this ioctl()-based API on top of /proc/<pid>/maps's FD makes sense given it's querying the same set of VMA data. It's also benefitial because permission checks for /proc/<pid>/maps is performed at open time once, and the actual data read of text contents of /proc/<pid>/maps is done without further permission checks. We piggyback on this pattern with ioctl()-based API as well, as that's a desired property. Both for performance reasons, but also for security and flexibility reasons. Allowing application to open an FD for /proc/self/maps without any extra capabilities, and then passing it to some sort of profiling agent through Unix-domain socket, would allow such profiling agent to not require some of the capabilities that are otherwise expected when opening /proc/<pid>/maps file for *another* process. This is a desirable property for some more restricted setups. This new ioctl-based implementation doesn't interfere with seq_file-based implementation of /proc/<pid>/maps textual interface, and so could be used together or independently without paying any price for that. Note also, that fetching VMA name (e.g., backing file path, or special hard-coded or user-provided names) is optional just like build ID. If user sets vma_name_size to zero, kernel code won't attempt to retrieve it, saving resources. Earlier versions of this patch set were adding per-VMA locking, which is why we have a code structure that is ready for abstracting mmap_lock vs vm_lock differences (query_vma_setup(), query_vma_teardown(), and query_vma_find_by_addr()), but given anon_vma_name() is not yet compatible with per-VMA locking, initial implementation sticks to using only mmap_lock for now. It will be easy to add back per-VMA locking once all the pieces are ready later on. Which is why we keep existing code structure with setup/teardown/query helper functions.

fs/procfs: extract logic for getting VMA name constituents
Patch series "ioctl()-based API to query VMAs from /proc/<pid>/maps", v6. Implement binary ioctl()-based interface to /proc/<pid>/maps file to allow applications to query VMA information more efficiently than reading *all* VMAs nonselectively through text-based interface of /proc/<pid>/maps file. Patch #2 goes into a lot of details and background on some common patterns of using /proc/<pid>/maps in the area of performance profiling and subsequent symbolization of captured stack traces. As mentioned in that patch, patterns of VMA querying can differ depending on specific use case, but can generally be grouped into two main categories: the need to query a small subset of VMAs covering a given batch of addresses, or reading/storing/caching all (typically, executable) VMAs upfront for later processing. The new PROCMAP_QUERY ioctl() API added in this patch set was motivated by the former pattern of usage. Earlier revisions had a patch adding a tool that faithfully reproduces an efficient VMA matching pass of a symbolizer, collecting a subset of covering VMAs for a given set of addresses as efficiently as possible. This tool served both as a testing ground, as well as a benchmarking tool. It implements everything both for currently existing text-based /proc/<pid>/maps interface, as well as for newly-added PROCMAP_QUERY ioctl(). This revision dropped the tool from the patch set and, once the API lands upstream, this tool might be added separately on Github as an example. Based on discussion on earlier revisions of this patch set, it turned out that this ioctl() API is competitive with highly-optimized text-based pre-processing pattern that perf tool is using. Based on perf discussion, this revision adds more flexibility in specifying a subset of VMAs that are of interest. Now it's possible to specify desired permissions of VMAs (e.g., request only executable ones) and/or restrict to only a subset of VMAs that have file backing. This further improves the efficiency when using this new API thanks to more selective (executable VMAs only) querying. In addition to a custom benchmarking tool, and experimental perf integration (available at [0]), Daniel Mueller has since also implemented an experimental integration into blazesym (see [1]), a library used for stack trace symbolization by our server fleet-wide profiler and another on-device profiler agent that runs on weaker ARM devices. The latter ARM-based device profiler is especially sensitive to performance, and so we benchmarked and compared text-based /proc/<pid>/maps solution to the equivalent one using PROCMAP_QUERY ioctl(). Results are very encouraging, giving us 5x improvement for end-to-end so-called "address normalization" pass, which is the part of the symbolization process that happens locally on ARM device, before being sent out for further heavier-weight processing on more powerful remote server. Note that this is not an artificial microbenchmark. It's a full end-to-end API call being measured with real-world data on real-world device. TEXT-BASED ========== Benchmarking main/normalize_process_no_build_ids_uncached_maps main/normalize_process_no_build_ids_uncached_maps time: [49.777 µs 49.982 µs 50.250 µs] IOCTL-BASED =========== Benchmarking main/normalize_process_no_build_ids_uncached_maps main/normalize_process_no_build_ids_uncached_maps time: [10.328 µs 10.391 µs 10.457 µs] change: [−79.453% −79.304% −79.166%] (p = 0.00 < 0.02) Performance has improved. You can see above that we see the drop from 50µs down to 10µs for exactly the same amount of work, with the same data and target process. With the aforementioned custom tool, we see about ~40x improvement (it might vary a bit, depending on a specific captured set of addresses). And even for perf-based benchmark it's on par or slightly ahead when using permission-based filtering (fetching only executable VMAs). Earlier revisions attempted to use per-VMA locking, if kernel was compiled with CONFIG_PER_VMA_LOCK=y, but it turned out that anon_vma_name() is not yet compatible with per-VMA locking and assumes mmap_lock to be taken, which makes the use of per-VMA locking for this API premature. It was agreed ([2]) to continue for now with just mmap_lock, but the code structure is such that it should be easy to add per-VMA locking support once all the pieces are ready. One thing that did not change was basing this new API as an ioctl() command on /proc/<pid>/maps file. An ioctl-based API on top of pidfd was considered, but has its own downsides. Implementing ioctl() directly on pidfd will cause access permission checks on every single ioctl(), which leads to performance concerns and potential spam of capable() audit messages. It also prevents a nice pattern, possible with /proc/<pid>/maps, in which application opens /proc/self/maps FD (requiring no additional capabilities) and passed this FD to profiling agent for querying. To achieve similar pattern, a new file would have to be created from pidf just for VMA querying, which is considered to be inferior to just querying /proc/<pid>/maps FD as proposed in current approach. These aspects were discussed in the hallway track at recent LSF/MM/BPF 2024 and sticking to procfs ioctl() was the final agreement we arrived at.

This could be just some string (either special constant or user-provided), or a string with some formatted wrapping text (e.g., "[anon_shmem:<something>]"), or, commonly, file path. seq_file-based logic has different methods to handle all three cases, but they are currently mixed in with extracting underlying sources of data. This patch splits this into data fetching and data formatting, so that data fetching can be reused later on. There should be no functional changes.

fs/proc: move page_mapcount() to fs/proc/internal.h
... and rename it to folio_precise_page_mapcount(). fs/proc is the last remaining user, and that should stay that way. While at it, cleanup kpagecount_read() a bit: there are still some legacy leftovers -- when the interface was introduced it returned the page refcount, but was changed briefly afterwards to return the page mapcount. Further, some simple folio conversion. Once we stop using the per-page mapcounts of large folios, all folio_precise_page_mapcount() users will have to implement an alternative way to achieve what they are trying to achieve, possibly in a less precise way.

fs/proc/task_mmu: account non-present entries as "maybe shared, but no idea how often"
We currently rely on mapcount information for pages referenced by non-present entries to calculate the USS (shared vs. private) and the PSS. However, relying on mapcounts for non-present entries doesn't make any sense. We have to treat such entries as "maybe shared, but no idea how often", implying that they will *not* get accounted towards the USS, and will get fully accounted to the PSS (no idea how often shared). There is one exception: device exclusive entries essentially behave like present entries (e.g., mapcount incremented). In smaps_pmd_entry(), use is_pfn_swap_entry() instead of is_migration_entry(), which should not make a real difference but makes the code look more similar to the PTE variant. While at it, adjust the comments in smaps_account().

fs/proc/task_mmu: don't indicate PM_MMAP_EXCLUSIVE without PM_PRESENT
Relying on the mapcount for non-present PTEs that reference pages doesn't make any sense: they are not accounted in the mapcount, so page_mapcount() == 1 won't return the result we actually want to know. While we don't check the mapcount for migration entries already, we could end up checking it for swap, hwpoison, device exclusive, ... entries, which we really shouldn't. There is one exception: device private entries, which we consider fake-present (e.g., incremented the mapcount). But we won't care about that for now for PM_MMAP_EXCLUSIVE, because indicating PM_SWAP for them although they are fake-present already sounds suspiciously wrong. Let's never indicate PM_MMAP_EXCLUSIVE without PM_PRESENT.
