fe4549b1d6 Docs/admin-guide/mm/damon/usage: fix wrong example of DAMOS filter matching sysfs file 
commit da2a061888 upstream.

The example usage of DAMOS filter sysfs files, specifically the part of
'matching' file writing for memcg type filter, is wrong.  The intention is
to exclude pages of a memcg that already getting enough care from a given
scheme, but the example is setting the filter to apply the scheme to only
the pages of the memcg.  Fix it.

88a6f89944 crash: memory and CPU hotplug sysfs attributes 
Introduce the crash_hotplug attribute for memory and CPUs for use by
userspace.  These attributes directly facilitate the udev rule for
managing userspace re-loading of the crash kernel upon hot un/plug
changes.

For memory, expose the crash_hotplug attribute to the
/sys/devices/system/memory directory.  For example:

 # udevadm info --attribute-walk /sys/devices/system/memory/memory81
  looking at device '/devices/system/memory/memory81':
    KERNEL=="memory81"
    SUBSYSTEM=="memory"
    DRIVER==""
    ATTR{online}=="1"
    ATTR{phys_device}=="0"
    ATTR{phys_index}=="00000051"
    ATTR{removable}=="1"
    ATTR{state}=="online"
    ATTR{valid_zones}=="Movable"

  looking at parent device '/devices/system/memory':
    KERNELS=="memory"
    SUBSYSTEMS==""
    DRIVERS==""
    ATTRS{auto_online_blocks}=="offline"
    ATTRS{block_size_bytes}=="8000000"
    ATTRS{crash_hotplug}=="1"

For CPUs, expose the crash_hotplug attribute to the
/sys/devices/system/cpu directory. For example:

 # udevadm info --attribute-walk /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0
  looking at device '/devices/system/cpu/cpu0':
    KERNEL=="cpu0"
    SUBSYSTEM=="cpu"
    DRIVER=="processor"
    ATTR{crash_notes}=="277c38600"
    ATTR{crash_notes_size}=="368"
    ATTR{online}=="1"

  looking at parent device '/devices/system/cpu':
    KERNELS=="cpu"
    SUBSYSTEMS==""
    DRIVERS==""
    ATTRS{crash_hotplug}=="1"
    ATTRS{isolated}==""
    ATTRS{kernel_max}=="8191"
    ATTRS{nohz_full}=="  (null)"
    ATTRS{offline}=="4-7"
    ATTRS{online}=="0-3"
    ATTRS{possible}=="0-7"
    ATTRS{present}=="0-3"

With these sysfs attributes in place, it is possible to efficiently
instruct the udev rule to skip crash kernel reloading for kernels
configured with crash hotplug support.

For example, the following is the proposed udev rule change for RHEL
system 98-kexec.rules (as the first lines of the rule file):

 # The kernel updates the crash elfcorehdr for CPU and memory changes
 SUBSYSTEM=="cpu", ATTRS{crash_hotplug}=="1", GOTO="kdump_reload_end"
 SUBSYSTEM=="memory", ATTRS{crash_hotplug}=="1", GOTO="kdump_reload_end"

When examined in the context of 98-kexec.rules, the above rules test if
crash_hotplug is set, and if so, the userspace initiated
unload-then-reload of the crash kernel is skipped.

CPU and memory checks are separated in accordance with CONFIG_HOTPLUG_CPU
and CONFIG_MEMORY_HOTPLUG kernel config options.  If an architecture
supports, for example, memory hotplug but not CPU hotplug, then the
/sys/devices/system/memory/crash_hotplug attribute file is present, but
the /sys/devices/system/cpu/crash_hotplug attribute file will NOT be
present.  Thus the udev rule skips userspace processing of memory hot
un/plug events, but the udev rule will evaluate false for CPU events, thus
allowing userspace to process CPU hot un/plug events (ie the
unload-then-reload of the kdump capture kernel).

b348b5fe2b mm/ksm: add pages scanned metric 
ksm currently maintains several statistics, which let you determine how
successful KSM is at sharing pages.  However it does not contain a metric
to determine how much work it does.

This commit adds the pages scanned metric.  This allows the administrator
to determine how many pages have been scanned over a period of time.

2d1f649c7c mm/memory_hotplug: support memmap_on_memory when memmap is not aligned to pageblocks 
Currently, memmap_on_memory feature is only supported with memory block
sizes that result in vmemmap pages covering full page blocks.  This is
because memory onlining/offlining code requires applicable ranges to be
pageblock-aligned, for example, to set the migratetypes properly.

This patch helps to lift that restriction by reserving more pages than
required for vmemmap space.  This helps the start address to be page block
aligned with different memory block sizes.  Using this facility implies
the kernel will be reserving some pages for every memoryblock.  This
allows the memmap on memory feature to be widely useful with different
memory block size values.

For ex: with 64K page size and 256MiB memory block size, we require 4
pages to map vmemmap pages, To align things correctly we end up adding a
reserve of 28 pages.  ie, for every 4096 pages 28 pages get reserved.

de7cb03db0 mm/memory_hotplug: document the signal_pending() check in offline_pages() 
Let's update the documentation that any signal is sufficient, and add a
comment that not only checking for fatal signals is historical baggage:
changing it now could break existing user space.  although unlikely.

For example, when an app provides a custom SIGALRM handler and triggers
memory offlining, the timeout cmd would no longer stop memory offlining,
because SIGALRM would no longer be considered a fatal signal.

Note that using signal_pending() instead of fatal_signal_pending() is
an anti-pattern, but slowly deprecating that behavior to eventually
change it in the far future is probably not worth the effort.  If this
ever becomes relevant for user-space, we might want to rethink.

e2942062e0 ksm: count all zero pages placed by KSM 
As pages_sharing and pages_shared don't include the number of zero pages
merged by KSM, we cannot know how many pages are zero pages placed by KSM
when enabling use_zero_pages, which leads to KSM not being transparent
with all actual merged pages by KSM.  In the early days of use_zero_pages,
zero-pages was unable to get unshared by the ways like MADV_UNMERGEABLE so
it's hard to count how many times one of those zeropages was then
unmerged.

But now, unsharing KSM-placed zero page accurately has been achieved, so
we can easily count both how many times a page full of zeroes was merged
with zero-page and how many times one of those pages was then unmerged. 
and so, it helps to estimate memory demands when each and every shared
page could get unshared.

So we add ksm_zero_pages under /sys/kernel/mm/ksm/ to show the number
of all zero pages placed by KSM. Meanwhile, we update the Documentation.

ff71f26f97 Docs/admin-guide/mm/damon/usage: update the ways for getting monitoring results 
The recommended ways for getting DAMON monitoring results are using
tried_regions sysfs directory for partial snapshot of the results, and
DAMON tracepoint for full record of the results.  However, the
tried_regions sysfs directory usage has not sufficiently updated on some
sections of the DAMON usage document.  Update those.

d21077fbc2 mm: add new KSM process and sysfs knobs 
This adds the general_profit KSM sysfs knob and the process profit metric
knobs to ksm_stat.

1) expose general_profit metric

   The documentation mentions a general profit metric, however this
   metric is not calculated.  In addition the formula depends on the size
   of internal structures, which makes it more difficult for an
   administrator to make the calculation.  Adding the metric for a better
   user experience.

2) document general_profit sysfs knob

3) calculate ksm process profit metric

   The ksm documentation mentions the process profit metric and how to
   calculate it.  This adds the calculation of the metric.

4) mm: expose ksm process profit metric in ksm_stat

   This exposes the ksm process profit metric in /proc/<pid>/ksm_stat.
   The documentation mentions the formula for the ksm process profit
   metric, however it does not calculate it.  In addition the formula
   depends on the size of internal structures.  So it makes sense to
   expose it.

5) document new procfs ksm knobs

0289184476 mm: userfaultfd: add UFFDIO_CONTINUE_MODE_WP to install WP PTEs 
UFFDIO_COPY already has UFFDIO_COPY_MODE_WP, so when installing a new PTE
to resolve a missing fault, one can install a write-protected one.  This
is useful when using UFFDIO_REGISTER_MODE_{MISSING,WP} in combination.

This was motivated by testing HugeTLB HGM [1], and in particular its
interaction with userfaultfd features.  Existing userfaultfd code supports
using WP and MINOR modes together (i.e.  you can register an area with
both enabled), but without this CONTINUE flag the combination is in
practice unusable.

So, add an analogous UFFDIO_CONTINUE_MODE_WP, which does the same thing as
UFFDIO_COPY_MODE_WP, but for *minor* faults.

Update the selftest to do some very basic exercising of the new flag.

Update Documentation/ to describe how these flags are used (neither the
COPY nor the new CONTINUE versions of this mode flag were described there
before).

2bad466cc9 mm/uffd: UFFD_FEATURE_WP_UNPOPULATED 
Patch series "mm/uffd: Add feature bit UFFD_FEATURE_WP_UNPOPULATED", v4.

The new feature bit makes anonymous memory acts the same as file memory on
userfaultfd-wp in that it'll also wr-protect none ptes.

It can be useful in two cases:

(1) Uffd-wp app that needs to wr-protect none ptes like QEMU snapshot,
    so pre-fault can be replaced by enabling this flag and speed up
    protections

(2) It helps to implement async uffd-wp mode that Muhammad is working on [1]

It's debatable whether this is the most ideal solution because with the
new feature bit set, wr-protect none pte needs to pre-populate the
pgtables to the last level (PAGE_SIZE).  But it seems fine so far to
service either purpose above, so we can leave optimizations for later.

The series brings pte markers to anonymous memory too.  There's some
change in the common mm code path in the 1st patch, great to have some eye
looking at it, but hopefully they're still relatively straightforward.


This patch (of 2):

This is a new feature that controls how uffd-wp handles none ptes.  When
it's set, the kernel will handle anonymous memory the same way as file
memory, by allowing the user to wr-protect unpopulated ptes.

File memories handles none ptes consistently by allowing wr-protecting of
none ptes because of the unawareness of page cache being exist or not. 
For anonymous it was not as persistent because we used to assume that we
don't need protections on none ptes or known zero pages.

One use case of such a feature bit was VM live snapshot, where if without
wr-protecting empty ptes the snapshot can contain random rubbish in the
holes of the anonymous memory, which can cause misbehave of the guest when
the guest OS assumes the pages should be all zeros.

QEMU worked it around by pre-populate the section with reads to fill in
zero page entries before starting the whole snapshot process [1].

Recently there's another need raised on using userfaultfd wr-protect for
detecting dirty pages (to replace soft-dirty in some cases) [2].  In that
case if without being able to wr-protect none ptes by default, the dirty
info can get lost, since we cannot treat every none pte to be dirty (the
current design is identify a page dirty based on uffd-wp bit being
cleared).

In general, we want to be able to wr-protect empty ptes too even for
anonymous.

This patch implements UFFD_FEATURE_WP_UNPOPULATED so that it'll make
uffd-wp handling on none ptes being consistent no matter what the memory
type is underneath.  It doesn't have any impact on file memories so far
because we already have pte markers taking care of that.  So it only
affects anonymous.

The feature bit is by default off, so the old behavior will be maintained.
Sometimes it may be wanted because the wr-protect of none ptes will
contain overheads not only during UFFDIO_WRITEPROTECT (by applying pte
markers to anonymous), but also on creating the pgtables to store the pte
markers.  So there's potentially less chance of using thp on the first
fault for a none pmd or larger than a pmd.

The major implementation part is teaching the whole kernel to understand
pte markers even for anonymously mapped ranges, meanwhile allowing the
UFFDIO_WRITEPROTECT ioctl to apply pte markers for anonymous too when the
new feature bit is set.

Note that even if the patch subject starts with mm/uffd, there're a few
small refactors to major mm path of handling anonymous page faults.  But
they should be straightforward.

With WP_UNPOPUATED, application like QEMU can avoid pre-read faults all
the memory before wr-protect during taking a live snapshot.  Quotting from
Muhammad's test result here [3] based on a simple program [4]:

  (1) With huge page disabled
  echo madvise > /sys/kernel/mm/transparent_hugepage/enabled
  ./uffd_wp_perf
  Test DEFAULT: 4
  Test PRE-READ: 1111453 (pre-fault 1101011)
  Test MADVISE: 278276 (pre-fault 266378)
  Test WP-UNPOPULATE: 11712

  (2) With Huge page enabled
  echo always > /sys/kernel/mm/transparent_hugepage/enabled
  ./uffd_wp_perf
  Test DEFAULT: 4
  Test PRE-READ: 22521 (pre-fault 22348)
  Test MADVISE: 4909 (pre-fault 4743)
  Test WP-UNPOPULATE: 14448

There'll be a great perf boost for no-thp case, while for thp enabled with
extreme case of all-thp-zero WP_UNPOPULATED can be slower than MADVISE,
but that's low possibility in reality, also the overhead was not reduced
but postponed until a follow up write on any huge zero thp, so potentially
it is faster by making the follow up writes slower.

5445fcbc4c Docs/admin-guide/mm/damon/usage: add DAMON debugfs interface deprecation notice 
Patch series "mm/damon: deprecate DAMON debugfs interface".

DAMON debugfs interface has announced to be deprecated after >v5.15 LTS
kernel is released.  And v6.1.y has been announced to be an LTS[1].

Though the announcement was there for a while, some people might not have
noticed that so far.  Also, some users could depend on it and have
problems at movng to the alternative (DAMON sysfs interface).

For such cases, keep the code and documents with warning messages and
contacts to ask helps for the deprecation.

 - A pagemap cleanup from Kefeng Wang: we have VM_ACCESS_FLAGS, so use it.
 
 - Miguel Ojeda contributed some cleanups for our use of the
   __no_sanitize_thread__ gcc keyword.  This series shold have been in the

   memory section removal for huge pages.
 
 - DAMON cleanups and tuneups from SeongJae Park
 
 - Tony Luck fixed the handling of COW faults against poisoned pages.
 
 - Peter Xu utilized the PTE marker code for handling swapin errors.

   David Hildenbrand.
 
 - zram support for multiple compression streams from Sergey Senozhatsky.

   that drivers no longer need to use the FOLL_FORCE workaround which
   didn't work very well anyway.
 
 - Mel Gorman altered the page allocator so that local IRQs can remnain
   enabled during per-cpu page allocations.
 
 - Vishal Moola removed the try_to_release_page() wrapper.
 
 - Stefan Roesch added some per-BDI sysfs tunables which are used to
   prevent network block devices from dirtying excessive amounts of
   pagecache.

   breaking.
 
 - Nhat Pham and Johannes Weiner have implemented writeback in zswap's
   zsmalloc backend.

   file[map]_write_and_wait_range().
 
 - sparse-vmemmap changes for MIPS, LoongArch and NIOS2 from Feiyang
   Chen.
 
 - Shiyang Ruan has done some work on fsdax, to make its reflink mode
   work better under xfstests.  Better, but still not perfect.
 
 - Christoph Hellwig has removed the .writepage() method from several
   filesystems.  They only need .writepages().
 
 - Yosry Ahmed wrote a series which fixes the memcg reclaim target
   beancounting.
 
 - David Hildenbrand has fixed some of our MM selftests for 32-bit
   machines.
 
 - Many singleton patches, as usual.

1b01663875 Docs/admin-guide/mm/damon/usage: fix wrong usage example of init_regions file 
DAMON debugfs interface assumes the users will write all inputs at once. 
However, redirecting a string of multiple lines sometimes end up writing
line by line.  Therefore, the example usage of 'init_regions' file, which
writes input as a string of multiple lines can fail.  Fix it to use a
single line string instead.  Also update the description of the usage to
not assume users will write inputs in multiple lines.

Patch series "Docs/admin-buide/mm/damon/usage: minor fixes".

DAMON usage document contains an unclear description and a wrong usage
example.  This patchset fixes the two minor problems.


This patch (of 2):

Target region directories of DAMON sysfs interface should contain no
overlap and sorted by the address, but not clearly documented.  Actually,
a user had an issue[1] due to the poor documentation.  Add clear
description of it on the usage document.

58ac9a8993 mm/khugepaged: attempt to map file/shmem-backed pte-mapped THPs by pmds 
The main benefit of THPs are that they can be mapped at the pmd level,
increasing the likelihood of TLB hit and spending less cycles in page
table walks.  pte-mapped hugepages - that is - hugepage-aligned compound
pages of order HPAGE_PMD_ORDER mapped by ptes - although being contiguous
in physical memory, don't have this advantage.  In fact, one could argue
they are detrimental to system performance overall since they occupy a
precious hugepage-aligned/sized region of physical memory that could
otherwise be used more effectively.  Additionally, pte-mapped hugepages
can be the cheapest memory to collapse for khugepaged since no new
hugepage allocation or copying of memory contents is necessary - we only
need to update the mapping page tables.

In the anonymous collapse path, we are able to collapse pte-mapped
hugepages (albeit, perhaps suboptimally), but the file/shmem path makes no
effort when compound pages (of any order) are encountered.

Identify pte-mapped hugepages in the file/shmem collapse path.  The
final step of which makes a racy check of the value of the pmd to
ensure it maps a pte table.  This should be fine, since races that
result in false-positive (i.e.  attempt collapse even though we
shouldn't) will fail later in collapse_pte_mapped_thp() once we
actually lock mmap_lock and reinspect the pmd value.  Races that result
in false-negatives (i.e.  where we decide to not attempt collapse, but
should have) shouldn't be an issue, since in the worst case, we do
nothing - which is what we've done up to this point.  We make a similar
check in retract_page_tables().  If we do think we've found a
pte-mapped hugepgae in khugepaged context, attempt to update page
tables mapping this hugepage.

Note that these collapses still count towards the
/sys/kernel/mm/transparent_hugepage/khugepaged/pages_collapsed counter,
and if the pte-mapped hugepage was also mapped into multiple process'
address spaces, could be incremented for each page table update.  Since we
increment the counter when a pte-mapped hugepage is successfully added to
the list of to-collapse pte-mapped THPs, it's possible that we never
actually update the page table either.  This is different from how
file/shmem pages_collapsed accounting works today where only a successful
page cache update is counted (it's also possible here that no page tables
are actually changed).  Though it incurs some slop, this is preferred to
either not accounting for the event at all, or plumbing through data in
struct mm_slot on whether to account for the collapse or not.

Also note that work still needs to be done to support arbitrary compound
pages, and that this should all be converted to using folios.

f498150208 mm/huge_memory: prevent THP_ZERO_PAGE_ALLOC increased twice 
A user who reads THP_ZERO_PAGE_ALLOC may be more concerned about the huge
zero pages that are really allocated for thp.  It is misleading to
increase THP_ZERO_PAGE_ALLOC twice if two threads call get_huge_zero_page
concurrently.  Don't increase the value if the huge page is not really
used.

Update Documentation/admin-guide/mm/transhuge.rst to suit.
