The khugepaged_{enabled|always|req_madv} are not khugepaged only anymore,
move them to huge_mm.h and rename to hugepage_flags_xxx, and remove
khugepaged_req_madv due to no users.

Also move khugepaged_defrag to khugepaged.c since its only caller is in
that file, it doesn't have to be in a header file.

<content type='text'>
The transparent_hugepage_active() was introduced to show THP eligibility
bit in smaps in proc, smaps is the only user.  But it actually does the
similar check as hugepage_vma_check() which is used by khugepaged.  We
definitely don't have to maintain two similar checks, so kill
transparent_hugepage_active().

This patch also fixed the wrong behavior for VM_NO_KHUGEPAGED vmas.

Also move hugepage_vma_check() to huge_memory.c and huge_mm.h since it
is not only for khugepaged anymore.

There are couple of places that check whether the vma size is ok for THP
or whether address fits, they are open coded and duplicate, use
transhuge_vma_suitable() to do the job by passing in (vma-&gt;end -
HPAGE_PMD_SIZE).

Move vma size check into hugepage_vma_check().  This will make
khugepaged_enter() is as same as khugepaged_enter_vma().  There is just
one caller for khugepaged_enter(), replace it to khugepaged_enter_vma()
and remove khugepaged_enter().

The most callers of khugepaged_enter() don't care about the return value. 
Only dup_mmap(), anonymous THP page fault and MADV_HUGEPAGE handle the
error by returning -ENOMEM.  Actually it is not harmful for them to ignore
the error case either.  It also sounds overkilling to fail fork() and page
fault early due to khugepaged_enter() error, and MADV_HUGEPAGE does set
VM_HUGEPAGE flag regardless of the error.

Currently if thp enabled=[madvise], mounting a tmpfs filesystem with
huge=always and mmapping files from that tmpfs does not result in
khugepaged collapsing those mappings, despite the mount flag indicating
that it should.

Fix that by breaking up the blocks of tests in hugepage_vma_check a little
bit, and testing things in the correct order.

<title>mm: khugepaged: recalculate min_free_kbytes after memory hotplug as expected by khugepaged</title>

<id>4aab2be0983031a05cb4a19696c9da5749523426</id>
<content type='text'>
When memory is hotplug added or removed the min_free_kbytes should be
recalculated based on what is expected by khugepaged.  Currently after
hotplug, min_free_kbytes will be set to a lower default and higher
default set when THP enabled is lost.

This change restores min_free_kbytes as expected for THP consumers.

When memory is hotplug added or removed the min_free_kbytes should be
recalculated based on what is expected by khugepaged.  Currently after
hotplug, min_free_kbytes will be set to a lower default and higher
default set when THP enabled is lost.

This change restores min_free_kbytes as expected for THP consumers.

khugepaged needs exclusive mmap_sem to access page table.  When it fails
to lock mmap_sem, the page will fault in as pte-mapped THP.  As the page
is already a THP, khugepaged will not handle this pmd again.

This patch enables the khugepaged to retry collapse the page table.

struct mm_slot (in khugepaged.c) is extended with an array, containing
addresses of pte-mapped THPs.  We use array here for simplicity.  We can
easily replace it with more advanced data structures when needed.

In khugepaged_scan_mm_slot(), if the mm contains pte-mapped THP, we try to
collapse the page table.

Since collapse may happen at an later time, some pages may already fault
in.  collapse_pte_mapped_thp() is added to properly handle these pages.
collapse_pte_mapped_thp() also double checks whether all ptes in this pmd
are mapping to the same THP.  This is necessary because some subpage of
the THP may be replaced, for example by uprobe.  In such cases, it is not
possible to collapse the pmd.

<title>License cleanup: add SPDX GPL-2.0 license identifier to files with no license</title>

Many source files in the tree are missing licensing information, which
makes it harder for compliance tools to determine the correct license.

By default all files without license information are under the default
license of the kernel, which is GPL version 2.

Update the files which contain no license information with the 'GPL-2.0'
SPDX license identifier.  The SPDX identifier is a legally binding
shorthand, which can be used instead of the full boiler plate text.

This patch is based on work done by Thomas Gleixner and Kate Stewart and
Philippe Ombredanne.

How this work was done:

Patches were generated and checked against linux-4.14-rc6 for a subset of
the use cases:
 - file had no licensing information it it.
 - file was a */uapi/* one with no licensing information in it,
 - file was a */uapi/* one with existing licensing information,

Further patches will be generated in subsequent months to fix up cases
where non-standard license headers were used, and references to license
had to be inferred by heuristics based on keywords.

The analysis to determine which SPDX License Identifier to be applied to
a file was done in a spreadsheet of side by side results from of the
output of two independent scanners (ScanCode &amp; Windriver) producing SPDX
tag:value files created by Philippe Ombredanne.  Philippe prepared the
base worksheet, and did an initial spot review of a few 1000 files.

The 4.13 kernel was the starting point of the analysis with 60,537 files
assessed.  Kate Stewart did a file by file comparison of the scanner
results in the spreadsheet to determine which SPDX license identifier(s)
to be applied to the file. She confirmed any determination that was not
immediately clear with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.

Criteria used to select files for SPDX license identifier tagging was:
 - Files considered eligible had to be source code files.
 - Make and config files were included as candidates if they contained &gt;5
   lines of source
 - File already had some variant of a license header in it (even if &lt;5
   lines).

All documentation files were explicitly excluded.

The following heuristics were used to determine which SPDX license
identifiers to apply.

 - when both scanners couldn't find any license traces, file was
   considered to have no license information in it, and the top level
   COPYING file license applied.

   For non */uapi/* files that summary was:

   SPDX license identifier                            # files
   ---------------------------------------------------|-------
   GPL-2.0                                              11139

   and resulted in the first patch in this series.

   If that file was a */uapi/* path one, it was "GPL-2.0 WITH
   Linux-syscall-note" otherwise it was "GPL-2.0".  Results of that was:

   SPDX license identifier                            # files
   ---------------------------------------------------|-------
   GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note                        930

   and resulted in the second patch in this series.

 - if a file had some form of licensing information in it, and was one
   of the */uapi/* ones, it was denoted with the Linux-syscall-note if
   any GPL family license was found in the file or had no licensing in
   it (per prior point).  Results summary:

   SPDX license identifier                            # files
   ---------------------------------------------------|------
   GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note                       270
   GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note                      169
   ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-2-Clause)    21
   ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause)    17
   LGPL-2.1+ WITH Linux-syscall-note                      15
   GPL-1.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note                       14
   ((GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause)    5
   LGPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note                       4
   LGPL-2.1 WITH Linux-syscall-note                        3
   ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR MIT)              3
   ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) AND MIT)             1

   and that resulted in the third patch in this series.

 - when the two scanners agreed on the detected license(s), that became
   the concluded license(s).

 - when there was disagreement between the two scanners (one detected a
   license but the other didn't, or they both detected different
   licenses) a manual inspection of the file occurred.

 - In most cases a manual inspection of the information in the file
   resulted in a clear resolution of the license that should apply (and
   which scanner probably needed to revisit its heuristics).

 - When it was not immediately clear, the license identifier was
   confirmed with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.

 - If there was any question as to the appropriate license identifier,
   the file was flagged for further research and to be revisited later
   in time.

In total, over 70 hours of logged manual review was done on the
spreadsheet to determine the SPDX license identifiers to apply to the
source files by Kate, Philippe, Thomas and, in some cases, confirmation
by lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.

Kate also obtained a third independent scan of the 4.13 code base from
FOSSology, and compared selected files where the other two scanners
disagreed against that SPDX file, to see if there was new insights.  The
Windriver scanner is based on an older version of FOSSology in part, so
they are related.

Thomas did random spot checks in about 500 files from the spreadsheets
for the uapi headers and agreed with SPDX license identifier in the
files he inspected. For the non-uapi files Thomas did random spot checks
in about 15000 files.

In initial set of patches against 4.14-rc6, 3 files were found to have
copy/paste license identifier errors, and have been fixed to reflect the
correct identifier.

Additionally Philippe spent 10 hours this week doing a detailed manual
inspection and review of the 12,461 patched files from the initial patch
version early this week with:
 - a full scancode scan run, collecting the matched texts, detected
   license ids and scores
 - reviewing anything where there was a license detected (about 500+
   files) to ensure that the applied SPDX license was correct
 - reviewing anything where there was no detection but the patch license
   was not GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note to ensure that the applied
   SPDX license was correct

This produced a worksheet with 20 files needing minor correction.  This
worksheet was then exported into 3 different .csv files for the
different types of files to be modified.

These .csv files were then reviewed by Greg.  Thomas wrote a script to
parse the csv files and add the proper SPDX tag to the file, in the
format that the file expected.  This script was further refined by Greg
based on the output to detect more types of files automatically and to
distinguish between header and source .c files (which need different
comment types.)  Finally Greg ran the script using the .csv files to
generate the patches.
