Patch series "Use pageblock_order for cma and alloc_contig_range alignment", v11.
This patchset tries to remove the MAX_ORDER-1 alignment requirement for CMA
and alloc_contig_range(). It prepares for my upcoming changes to make
MAX_ORDER adjustable at boot time[1].
The MAX_ORDER - 1 alignment requirement comes from that
alloc_contig_range() isolates pageblocks to remove free memory from buddy
allocator but isolating only a subset of pageblocks within a page spanning
across multiple pageblocks causes free page accounting issues. Isolated
page might not be put into the right free list, since the code assumes the
migratetype of the first pageblock as the whole free page migratetype.
This is based on the discussion at [2].
To remove the requirement, this patchset:
1. isolates pages at pageblock granularity instead of
max(MAX_ORDER_NR_PAEGS, pageblock_nr_pages);
2. splits free pages across the specified range or migrates in-use pages
across the specified range then splits the freed page to avoid free page
accounting issues (it happens when multiple pageblocks within a single page
have different migratetypes);
3. only checks unmovable pages within the range instead of MAX_ORDER - 1 aligned
range during isolation to avoid alloc_contig_range() failure when pageblocks
within a MAX_ORDER - 1 aligned range are allocated separately.
4. returns pages not in the range as it did before.
One optimization might come later:
1. make MIGRATE_ISOLATE a separate bit to be able to restore the original
migratetypes when isolation fails in the middle of the range.

We used to have USERFAULTFD configs stored in init/. It makes sense as a
start because that's the default place for storing syscall related
configs.
However userfaultfd evolved a bit in the past few years and some more
config options were added. They're no longer related to syscalls and
start to be not suitable to be kept in the init/ directory anymore,
because they're pure mm concepts.
But it's not ideal either to keep the userfaultfd configs separate from
each other. Hence this patch moves the userfaultfd configs under init/ to
be under mm/ so that we'll start to group all userfaultfd configs
together.
We do have quite a few examples of syscall related configs that are not
put under init/Kconfig: FTRACE_SYSCALLS, SWAP, FILE_LOCKING,
MEMFD_CREATE.. They all reside in the dir where they're more suitable for
the concept. So it seems there's no restriction to keep the role of
having syscall related CONFIG_* under init/ only.

When we're trying to collapse a 2M huge shmem page, don't retract pgtable
pmd page if it's registered with uffd-wp, because that pgtable could have
pte markers installed. Recycling of that pgtable means we'll lose the pte
markers. That could cause data loss for an uffd-wp enabled application on
shmem.
Instead of disabling khugepaged on these files, simply skip retracting
these special VMAs, then the page cache can still be merged into a huge
thp, and other mm/vma can still map the range of file with a huge thp when
proper.
Note that checking VM_UFFD_WP needs to be done with mmap_sem held for
write, that avoids race like:

check VM_UFFD_WP, not set
UFFDIO_REGISTER with uffd-wp on shmem

As with shmem uffd-wp special ptes, only drop the uffd-wp special swap pte
if unmapping an entire vma or synchronized such that faults can not race
with the unmap operation. This requires passing zap_flags all the way to
the lowest level hugetlb unmap routine: __unmap_hugepage_range.
In general, unmap calls originated in hugetlbfs code will pass the
ZAP_FLAG_DROP_MARKER flag as synchronization is in place to prevent
faults. The exception is hole punch which will first unmap without any
synchronization. Later when hole punch actually removes the page from the
file, it will check to see if there was a subsequent fault and if so take
the hugetlb fault mutex while unmapping again. This second unmap will
pass in ZAP_FLAG_DROP_MARKER.
The justification of "whether to apply ZAP_FLAG_DROP_MARKER flag when
unmap a hugetlb range" is (IMHO): we should never reach a state when a
page fault could errornously fault in a page-cache page that was
wr-protected to be writable, even in an extremely short period. That
could happen if e.g. we pass ZAP_FLAG_DROP_MARKER when
hugetlbfs_punch_hole() calls hugetlb_vmdelete_list(), because if a page
faults after that call and before remove_inode_hugepages() is executed,
the page cache can be mapped writable again in the small racy window, that
can cause unexpected data overwritten.

there, we just need to make sure we don't assume hugetlb_no_page() only
handles none pte, so when detecting pte change we should use pte_same()
rather than pte_none(). We need to pass in the old_pte to do the
comparison.
Check the original pte to see whether it's a pte marker, if it is, we
should recover uffd-wp bit on the new pte to be installed, so that the
next write will be trapped by uffd.

Pass the wp_copy variable into hugetlb_mcopy_atomic_pte() thoughout the

Hugetlb pages are only managed by hugetlbfs, so we're safe even without
setting dirty bit in the huge pte if the page is installed as read-only.
However we'd better still keep the dirty bit set for a read-only
UFFDIO_COPY pte (when UFFDIO_COPY_MODE_WP bit is set), not only to match
what we do with shmem, but also because the page does contain dirty data
that the kernel just copied from the userspace.

Normally we skip copy page when fork() for VM_SHARED shmem, but we can't
skip it anymore if uffd-wp is enabled on dst vma. This should only happen
when the src uffd has UFFD_FEATURE_EVENT_FORK enabled on uffd-wp shmem
vma, so that VM_UFFD_WP will be propagated onto dst vma too, then we
should copy the pgtables with uffd-wp bit and pte markers, because these
information will be lost otherwise.
Since the condition checks will become even more complicated for deciding
"whether a vma needs to copy the pgtable during fork()", introduce a
helper vma_needs_copy() for it, so everything will be clearer.

We don't have "huge" version of pte markers, instead when necessary we
split the thp.
However split the thp is not enough, because file-backed thp is handled
totally differently comparing to anonymous thps: rather than doing a real
split, the thp pmd will simply got cleared in __split_huge_pmd_locked().
That is not enough if e.g. when there is a thp covers range [0, 2M) but
we want to wr-protect small page resides in [4K, 8K) range, because after
__split_huge_pmd() returns, there will be a none pmd, and
change_pmd_range() will just skip it right after the split.
Here we leverage the previously introduced change_pmd_prepare() macro so
that we'll populate the pmd with a pgtable page after the pmd split (in
which process the pmd will be cleared for cases like shmem). Then
change_pte_range() will do all the rest for us by installing the uffd-wp
pte marker at any none pte that we'd like to wr-protect.

File-backed memory differs from anonymous memory in that even if the pte
is missing, the data could still resides either in the file or in
page/swap cache. So when wr-protect a pte, we need to consider none ptes
too.
We do that by installing the uffd-wp pte markers when necessary. So when
there's a future write to the pte, the fault handler will go the special
path to first fault-in the page as read-only, then report to userfaultfd
server with the wr-protect message.
On the other hand, when unprotecting a page, it's also possible that the
pte got unmapped but replaced by the special uffd-wp marker. Then we'll
need to be able to recover from a uffd-wp pte marker into a none pte, so
that the next access to the page will fault in correctly as usual when
accessed the next time.
Special care needs to be taken throughout the change_protection_range()
process. Since now we allow user to wr-protect a none pte, we need to be
able to pre-populate the page table entries if we see (!anonymous &&
MM_CP_UFFD_WP) requests, otherwise change_protection_range() will always
skip when the pgtable entry does not exist.
For example, the pgtable can be missing for a whole chunk of 2M pmd, but
the page cache can exist for the 2M range. When we want to wr-protect one
4K page within the 2M pmd range, we need to pre-populate the pgtable and
install the pte marker showing that we want to get a message and block the
thread when the page cache of that 4K page is written. Without
pre-populating the pmd, change_protection() will simply skip that whole
pmd.
Note that this patch only covers the small pages (pte level) but not
covering any of the transparent huge pages yet. That will be done later,
and this patch will be a preparation for it too.

File-backed memory is prone to being unmapped at any time. It means all
information in the pte will be dropped, including the uffd-wp flag.
To persist the uffd-wp flag, we'll use the pte markers. This patch
teaches the zap code to understand uffd-wp and know when to keep or drop
the uffd-wp bit.
Add a new flag ZAP_FLAG_DROP_MARKER and set it in zap_details when we
don't want to persist such an information, for example, when destroying
the whole vma, or punching a hole in a shmem file. For the rest cases we
should never drop the uffd-wp bit, or the wr-protect information will get
lost.
The new ZAP_FLAG_DROP_MARKER needs to be put into mm.h rather than
memory.c because it'll be further referenced in hugetlb files later.

File-backed memories are prone to unmap/swap so the ptes are always
unstable, because they can be easily faulted back later using the page
cache. This could lead to uffd-wp getting lost when unmapping or swapping
out such memory. One example is shmem. PTE markers are needed to store
those information.
This patch prepares it by handling uffd-wp pte markers first it is applied
elsewhere, so that the page fault handler can recognize uffd-wp pte
markers.
The handling of uffd-wp pte markers is similar to missing fault, it's just
that we'll handle this "missing fault" when we see the pte markers,
meanwhile we need to make sure the marker information is kept during
processing the fault.
This is a slow path of uffd-wp handling, because zapping of wr-protected
shmem ptes should be rare. So far it should only trigger in two
conditions:
(1) When trying to punch holes in shmem_fallocate(), there is an
optimization to zap the pgtables before evicting the page.
(2) When swapping out shmem pages.
Because of this, the page fault handling is simplifed too by not sending
the wr-protect message in the 1st page fault, instead the page will be
installed read-only, so the uffd-wp message will be generated in the next
fault, which will trigger the do_wp_page() path of general uffd-wp
handling.
Disable fault-around for all uffd-wp registered ranges for extra safety
just like uffd-minor fault, and clean the code up.

This patch introduces the 1st user of pte marker: the uffd-wp marker.
When the pte marker is installed with the uffd-wp bit set, it means this
pte was wr-protected by uffd.
We will use this special pte to arm the ptes that got either unmapped or
swapped out for a file-backed region that was previously wr-protected.
This special pte could trigger a page fault just like swap entries.
This idea is greatly inspired by Hugh and Andrea in the discussion, which
is referenced in the links below.
Some helpers are introduced to detect whether a swap pte is uffd
wr-protected. After the pte marker introduced, one swap pte can be
wr-protected in two forms: either it is a normal swap pte and it has
_PAGE_SWP_UFFD_WP set, or it's a pte marker that has PTE_MARKER_UFFD_WP
set.

This patch allows do_fault() to trigger on !pte_none() cases too. This
prepares for the pte markers to be handled by do_fault() just like none
pte.
To achieve this, instead of unconditionally check against pte_none() in
finish_fault(), we may hit the case that the orig_pte was some pte marker
so what we want to do is to replace the pte marker with some valid pte
entry. Then if orig_pte was set we'd want to check the current *pte
(under pgtable lock) against orig_pte rather than none pte.
Right now there's no solid way to safely reference orig_pte because when
pmd is not allocated handle_pte_fault() will not initialize orig_pte, so
it's not safe to reference it.
There's another solution proposed before this patch to do pte_clear() for
vmf->orig_pte for pmd==NULL case, however it turns out it'll break arm32
because arm32 could have assumption that pte_t* pointer will always reside
on a real ram32 pgtable, not any kernel stack variable.
To solve this, we add a new flag FAULT_FLAG_ORIG_PTE_VALID, and it'll be
set along with orig_pte when there is valid orig_pte, or it'll be cleared
when orig_pte was not initialized.
It'll be updated every time we call handle_pte_fault(), so e.g. if a page
fault retry happened it'll be properly updated along with orig_pte.

This patch still does not use pte marker in any way, however it teaches
the core mm about the pte marker idea.
For example, handle_pte_marker() is introduced that will parse and handle
all the pte marker faults.
Many of the places are more about commenting it up - so that we know
there's the possibility of pte marker showing up, and why we don't need
special code for the cases.

Patch series "userfaultfd-wp: Support shmem and hugetlbfs", v8.
Overview
========
Userfaultfd-wp anonymous support was merged two years ago. There're quite
a few applications that started to leverage this capability either to take
snapshots for user-app memory, or use it for full user controled swapping.
This series tries to complete the feature for uffd-wp so as to cover all
the RAM-based memory types. So far uffd-wp is the only missing piece of
the rest features (uffd-missing & uffd-minor mode).
One major reason to do so is that anonymous pages are sometimes not
satisfying the need of applications, and there're growing users of either
shmem and hugetlbfs for either sharing purpose (e.g., sharing guest mem
between hypervisor process and device emulation process, shmem local live
migration for upgrades), or for performance on tlb hits.
All these mean that if a uffd-wp app wants to switch to any of the memory
types, it'll stop working. I think it's worthwhile to have the kernel to
cover all these aspects.
This series chose to protect pages in pte level not page level.
One major reason is safety. I have no idea how we could make it safe if
any of the uffd-privileged app can wr-protect a page that any other
application can use. It means this app can block any process potentially
for any time it wants.
The other reason is that it aligns very well with not only the anonymous
uffd-wp solution, but also uffd as a whole. For example, userfaultfd is
implemented fundamentally based on VMAs. We set flags to VMAs showing the
status of uffd tracking. For another per-page based protection solution,
it'll be crossing the fundation line on VMA-based, and it could simply be
too far away already from what's called userfaultfd.
PTE markers
===========
The patchset is based on the idea called PTE markers. It was discussed in
one of the mm alignment sessions, proposed starting from v6, and this is
the 2nd version of it using PTE marker idea.
PTE marker is a new type of swap entry that is ony applicable to file
backed memories like shmem and hugetlbfs. It's used to persist some
pte-level information even if the original present ptes in pgtable are
zapped.
Logically pte markers can store more than uffd-wp information, but so far
only one bit is used for uffd-wp purpose. When the pte marker is
installed with uffd-wp bit set, it means this pte is wr-protected by uffd.
It solves the problem on e.g. file-backed memory mapped ptes got zapped
due to any reason (e.g. thp split, or swapped out), we can still keep the
wr-protect information in the ptes. Then when the page fault triggers
again, we'll know this pte is wr-protected so we can treat the pte the
same as a normal uffd wr-protected pte.
The extra information is encoded into the swap entry, or swp_offset to be
explicit, with the swp_type being PTE_MARKER. So far uffd-wp only uses
one bit out of the swap entry, the rest bits of swp_offset are still
reserved for other purposes.
There're two configs to enable/disable PTE markers:
CONFIG_PTE_MARKER
CONFIG_PTE_MARKER_UFFD_WP
We can set !PTE_MARKER to completely disable all the PTE markers, along
with uffd-wp support. I made two config so we can also enable PTE marker
but disable uffd-wp file-backed for other purposes. At the end of current
series, I'll enable CONFIG_PTE_MARKER by default, but that patch is
standalone and if anyone worries about having it by default, we can also
consider turn it off by dropping that oneliner patch. So far I don't see
a huge risk of doing so, so I kept that patch.
In most cases, PTE markers should be treated as none ptes. It is because
that unlike most of the other swap entry types, there's no PFN or block
offset information encoded into PTE markers but some extra well-defined
bits showing the status of the pte. These bits should only be used as
extra data when servicing an upcoming page fault, and then we behave as if
it's a none pte.
I did spend a lot of time observing all the pte_none() users this time.
It is indeed a challenge because there're a lot, and I hope I didn't miss
a single of them when we should take care of pte markers. Luckily, I
don't think it'll need to be considered in many cases, for example: boot
code, arch code (especially non-x86), kernel-only page handlings (e.g.
CPA), or device driver codes when we're tackling with pure PFN mappings.
I introduced pte_none_mostly() in this series when we need to handle pte
markers the same as none pte, the "mostly" is the other way to write
"either none pte or a pte marker".
I didn't replace pte_none() to cover pte markers for below reasons:
- Very rare case of pte_none() callers will handle pte markers. E.g., all
the kernel pages do not require knowledge of pte markers. So we don't
pollute the major use cases.
- Unconditionally change pte_none() semantics could confuse people, because
pte_none() existed for so long a time.
- Unconditionally change pte_none() semantics could make pte_none() slower
even if in many cases pte markers do not exist.
- There're cases where we'd like to handle pte markers differntly from
pte_none(), so a full replace is also impossible. E.g. khugepaged should
still treat pte markers as normal swap ptes rather than none ptes, because
pte markers will always need a fault-in to merge the marker with a valid
pte. Or the smap code will need to parse PTE markers not none ptes.

This patch (of 23):
Introduces a new swap entry type called PTE_MARKER. It can be installed
for any pte that maps a file-backed memory when the pte is temporarily
zapped, so as to maintain per-pte information.
The information that kept in the pte is called a "marker". Here we define
the marker as "unsigned long" just to match pgoff_t, however it will only
work if it still fits in swp_offset(), which is e.g. currently 58 bits on
x86_64.
A new config CONFIG_PTE_MARKER is introduced too; it's by default off. A
bunch of helpers are defined altogether to service the rest of the pte
marker code.

To spread dirty pages, nodes are checked whether they have reached the
dirty limit using the expensive node_dirty_ok(). To reduce the frequency
of calling node_dirty_ok(), the last node that hit the dirty limit can be
cached.
Instead of caching the node, caching both the node and its node_dirty_ok()
status can reduce the number of calle to node_dirty_ok().

Currently, DAMON sysfs interface doesn't provide a way for adjusting DAMON
input parameters while it is turned on. Therefore, users who want to
reconfigure DAMON need to stop DAMON and restart. This means all the
monitoring results that accumulated so far, which could be useful, should
be flushed. This would be inefficient for many cases.
For an example, let's suppose a sysadmin was running a DAMON-based
Operation Scheme to find memory regions not accessed for more than 5 mins
and page out the regions. If it turns out the 5 mins threshold was too
long and therefore the sysadmin wants to reduce it to 4 mins, the sysadmin
should turn off DAMON, restart it, and wait for at least 4 more minutes so
that DAMON can find the cold memory regions, even though DAMON was knowing
there are regions that not accessed for 4 mins at the time of shutdown.
This commit makes DAMON sysfs interface to support online DAMON input
parameters updates by adding a new input keyword for the 'state' DAMON
sysfs file, 'commit'. Writing the keyword to the 'state' file while the
corresponding kdamond is running makes the kdamond to read the sysfs file
values again and update the DAMON context.

Only '->kdamond' and '->kdamond_stop' are protected by 'kdamond_lock' of

recommended to be accessed in DAMON callbacks, or under some additional
synchronizations. But, DAMON sysfs is accessing the schemes stat under
'kdamond_lock'.
It makes no big issue as the read values are not used anywhere inside
kernel, but would better to be fixed. This commit moves the reads to

Patch series "mm/damon: Support online tuning".
Effects of DAMON and DAMON-based Operation Schemes highly depends on the
configurations. Wrong configurations could even result in unexpected
efficiency degradations. For finding a best configuration, repeating
incremental configuration changes and results measurements, in other
words, online tuning, could be helpful.
Nevertheless, DAMON kernel API supports only restrictive online tuning.
Worse yet, the sysfs-based DAMON user interface doesn't support online
tuning at all. DAMON_RECLAIM also doesn't support online tuning.
This patchset makes the DAMON kernel API, DAMON sysfs interface, and
DAMON_RECLAIM supports online tuning.
Sequence of patches
-------------------
First two patches enhance DAMON online tuning for kernel API users.
Specifically, patch 1 let kernel API users to be able to do DAMON online
tuning without a restriction, and patch 2 makes error handling easier.
Following seven patches (patches 3-9) refactor code for better readability
and easier reuse of code fragments that will be useful for online tuning
support.
Patch 10 introduces DAMON callback based user request handling structure
for DAMON sysfs interface, and patch 11 enables DAMON online tuning via
DAMON sysfs interface. Documentation patch (patch 12) for usage of it
follows.
Patch 13 enables online tuning of DAMON_RECLAIM and finally patch 14
documents the DAMON_RECLAIM online tuning usage.
This patch (of 14):
For updating input parameters for running DAMON contexts, DAMON kernel API
users can use the contexts' callbacks, as it is the safe place for context
internal data accesses. When the context has DAMON-based operation
schemes and all schemes are deactivated due to their watermarks, however,
DAMON does nothing but only watermarks checks. As a result, no callbacks
will be called back, and therefore the kernel API users cannot update the
input parameters including monitoring attributes, DAMON-based operation
schemes, and watermarks.
To let users easily update such DAMON input parameters in such a case,
this commit adds a new callback, 'after_wmarks_check()'. It will be
called after each watermarks check. Users can do the online input
parameters update in the callback even under the schemes deactivated case.

When CONFIG_KASAN_HW_TAGS is enabled we currently increase the minimum
slab alignment to 16. This happens even if MTE is not supported in
hardware or disabled via kasan=off, which creates an unnecessary memory
overhead in those cases. Eliminate this overhead by making the minimum
slab alignment a runtime property and only aligning to 16 if KASAN is
enabled at runtime.

Now we will use flush_cache_page() to flush cache for anonymous hugetlb
pages when unmapping or migrating a hugetlb page mapping, but the
flush_cache_page() only handles a PAGE_SIZE range on some architectures
(like arm32, arc and so on), which will cause potential cache issues.
Thus change to use flush_cache_range() to cover the whole size of a
hugetlb page.

The cache level flush will always be first when changing an existing
virtual–>physical mapping to a new value, since this allows us to
properly handle systems whose caches are strict and require a
virtual–>physical translation to exist for a virtual address. So we
should move the cache flushing before huge_pmd_unshare().
As Muchun pointed out[1], now the architectures whose supporting hugetlb
PMD sharing have no cache flush issues in practice. But I think we should
still follow the cache/TLB flushing rules when changing a valid virtual
address mapping in case of potential issues in future.

This patchset fixes some cache flushing issues if PMD sharing is possible
for hugetlb pages, which were found by code inspection. Meanwhile Mike
found the flush_cache_page() can not cover the whole size of a hugetlb
page on some architectures [1], so I added a new patch 3 to fix this
issue, since I found only try_to_unmap_one() and try_to_migrate_one() need
to fix after some investigation.

This patch (of 3):
When moving hugetlb page tables, the cache flushing is called in
move_page_tables() without considering the shared PMDs, which may be cause
cache issues on some architectures.
Thus we should move the hugetlb cache flushing into
move_hugetlb_page_tables() with considering the shared PMDs ranges,
calculated by adjust_range_if_pmd_sharing_possible(). Meanwhile also
expanding the TLBs flushing range in case of shared PMDs.
Note this is discovered via code inspection, and did not meet a real
problem in practice so far.

Patch series "support fixed virtual address ranges monitoring".
The monitoring operations set for virtual address spaces automatically
updates the monitoring target regions to cover entire mappings of the
virtual address spaces as much as possible. Some users could have more
information about their programs than kernel and therefore have interest
in not entire regions but only specific regions. For such cases, the
automatic monitoring target regions updates are only unnecessary overhead
or distractions.
This patchset adds supports for the use case on DAMON's kernel API
(DAMON_OPS_FVADDR) and sysfs interface ('fvaddr' keyword for 'operations'

information about their programs than kernel and therefore have interest

For such cases, DAMON's API users can simply set the '->init()' and
'->update()' of the DAMON context's '->ops' NULL, and set the target
monitoring regions when creating the context. But, that would be a dirty
hack. Worse yet, the hack is unavailable for DAMON user space interface
users.
To support the use case in a clean way that can easily exported to the
user space, this commit adds another monitoring operations set called
'fvaddr', which is same to 'vaddr' but does not automatically update the
monitoring regions. Instead, it will only respect the virtual address
regions which have explicitly passed at the initial context creation.
Note that this commit leave sysfs interface not supporting the feature
yet. The support will be made in a following commit.

Patch series "mm/damon: allow users know which monitoring ops are available".
DAMON users can configure it for vaious address spaces including virtual
address spaces and the physical address space by setting its monitoring
operations set with appropriate one for their purpose. However, there is
no celan and simple way to know exactly which monitoring operations sets
are available on the currently running kernel.
This patchset adds functions for the purpose on DAMON's kernel API
('damon_is_registered_ops()') and sysfs interface ('avail_operations' file
under each context directory).
This patch (of 4):
To know if a specific 'damon_operations' is registered, users need to
check the kernel config or try 'damon_select_ops()' with the ops of the
question, and then see if it successes. In the latter case, the user
should also revert the change. To make the process simple and convenient,
this commit adds a function for checking if a specific 'damon_operations'
is registered or not.

Out-of-bounds accesses that aren't caught by a guard page will result in
corruption of canary memory. In pathological cases, where an object has
certain alignment requirements, an out-of-bounds access might never be
caught by the guard page. Such corruptions, however, are only detected on
kfree() normally. If the bug causes the kernel to panic before kfree(),
KFENCE has no opportunity to report the issue. Such corruptions may also
indicate failing memory or other faults.
To provide some more information in such cases, add the option to check
canary bytes on panic. This might help narrow the search for the panic
cause; but, due to only having the allocation stack trace, such reports
are difficult to use to diagnose an issue alone. In most cases, such
reports are inactionable, and is therefore an opt-in feature (disabled by
default).

Calls to change_protection_range() on THP can trigger, at least on x86,
two TLB flushes for one page: one immediately, when pmdp_invalidate() is
called by change_huge_pmd(), and then another one later (that can be
batched) when change_protection_range() finishes.
The first TLB flush is only necessary to prevent the dirty bit (and with a
lesser importance the access bit) from changing while the PTE is modified.
However, this is not necessary as the x86 CPUs set the dirty-bit
atomically with an additional check that the PTE is (still) present. One
caveat is Intel's Knights Landing that has a bug and does not do so.
Leverage this behavior to eliminate the unnecessary TLB flush in
change_huge_pmd(). Introduce a new arch specific pmdp_invalidate_ad()
that only invalidates the access and dirty bit from further changes.

Currently, using mprotect() to unprotect a memory region or uffd to
unprotect a memory region causes a TLB flush. However, in such cases the
PTE is often not modified (i.e., remain RO) and therefore not TLB flush is
needed.
Add an arch-specific pte_needs_flush() which tells whether a TLB flush is
needed based on the old PTE and the new one. Implement an x86
pte_needs_flush().
Always flush the TLB when it is architecturally needed even when skipping
a TLB flush might only result in a spurious page-faults by skipping the
flush.
Even with such conservative manner, we can in the future further refine
the checks to test whether a PTE is present by only considering the
architectural _PAGE_PRESENT flag instead of {pte|pmd}_preesnt(). For not
be careful and use the latter.

Patch series "mm/mprotect: avoid unnecessary TLB flushes", v6.
This patchset is intended to remove unnecessary TLB flushes during
mprotect() syscalls. Once this patch-set make it through, similar and
further optimizations for MADV_COLD and userfaultfd would be possible.
Basically, there are 3 optimizations in this patch-set:
1. Use TLB batching infrastructure to batch flushes across VMAs and do
better/fewer flushes. This would also be handy for later userfaultfd
enhancements.
2. Avoid unnecessary TLB flushes. This optimization is the one that
provides most of the performance benefits. Unlike previous versions,
we now only avoid flushes that would not result in spurious
page-faults.
3. Avoiding TLB flushes on change_huge_pmd() that are only needed to
prevent the A/D bits from changing.
Andrew asked for some benchmark numbers. I do not have an easy
determinate macrobenchmark in which it is easy to show benefit. I
therefore ran a microbenchmark: a loop that does the following on
anonymous memory, just as a sanity check to see that time is saved by
avoiding TLB flushes. The loop goes:
mprotect(p, PAGE_SIZE, PROT_READ)
mprotect(p, PAGE_SIZE, PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE)
*p = 0; // make the page writable
The test was run in KVM guest with 1 or 2 threads (the second thread was
busy-looping). I measured the time (cycles) of each operation:
1 thread 2 threads
mmots +patch mmots +patch
PROT_READ 3494 2725 (-22%) 8630 7788 (-10%)
PROT_READ|WRITE 3952 2724 (-31%) 9075 2865 (-68%)
[ mmots = v5.17-rc6-mmots-2022-03-06-20-38 ]
The exact numbers are really meaningless, but the benefit is clear. There
are 2 interesting results though.
(1) PROT_READ is cheaper, while one can expect it not to be affected.
This is presumably due to TLB miss that is saved
(2) Without memory access (*p = 0), the speedup of the patch is even
greater. In that scenario mprotect(PROT_READ) also avoids the TLB flush.
As a result both operations on the patched kernel take roughly ~1500
cycles (with either 1 or 2 threads), whereas on mmotm their cost is as
high as presented in the table.
This patch (of 3):
change_pXX_range() currently does not use mmu_gather, but instead
implements its own deferred TLB flushes scheme. This both complicates the
code, as developers need to be aware of different invalidation schemes,
and prevents opportunities to avoid TLB flushes or perform them in finer
granularity.
The use of mmu_gather for modified PTEs has benefits in various scenarios
even if pages are not released. For instance, if only a single page needs
to be flushed out of a range of many pages, only that page would be
flushed. If a THP page is flushed, on x86 a single TLB invlpg instruction
can be used instead of 512 instructions (or a full TLB flush, which would
Linux would actually use by default). mprotect() over multiple VMAs
requires a single flush.
Use mmu_gather in change_pXX_range(). As the pages are not released, only
record the flushed range using tlb_flush_pXX_range().
Handle THP similarly and get rid of flush_cache_range() which becomes
redundant since tlb_start_vma() calls it when needed.
